Chapter 1528: One Punch
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Union of Man and Spirit! When the low sound sounded in Mu Chen's heart, the Primordial Immortal Body had already fused into his body. In the next moment, hundreds of millions of crystal lights suddenly burst out fiercely from Mu Chen. Every ray of light contained extremely terrible power.
Boom!
The spiritual energy around Mu Chen surged wildly like a rising tide, bringing with it a terrifying spiritual force oppression. The space collapsed as that spiritual strength caused even middle-stage Divine Grades to stare in shock.
Outside of the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array, Qin Tian, the Green Shirt Sword Saint, and the Undying Lord also sensed it as they looked down. Glancing across the Northern Hills Wilderness, they paused on Mu Chen's body, disbelief surging in their gazes.
"He's attempting the Union of Man and Spirit… He is too bold. That's the Primordial Immortal Body, after all. After countless years of cultivation, it contains the power of immortality. Even a later-stage Divine Grade would not dare to unite with it easily."
Their faces changed, as they were aware of the Primordial Immortal Body's strength. They understood clearly that even if Mu Chen had a Divine Grade physical body, he would not be able to bear such a unity.
Boom!
Amid worried glances, Mu Chen's spiritual energy was still rising madly, while his body began to bulge up into a mass of flesh and blood. The bulges resembled tumors, which made him look frightening.
Boom!
As the tumors of flesh suddenly exploded, gurgling blood spurt out, instantly staining Mu Chen. His bloodied figure looked extremely miserable. A crack also emerged on the surface of his body, making him look like cracked porcelain. This was clearly the result of the physical inability to withstand the madly increasing spiritual energy within his body.
"Mu Chen!" Qing Yanjing looked at Mu Chen's sorry state, and her face turned pale as her spiritual power fluctuated in an unstable state.
"Great Elder Qing Yanjing, steady your heart, focus!" the Great Nether Ancestor ordered gravely. They were now leading everyone to maintain the Great Thousand Exterminate Demon Array to wipe out the Heavenly Evil Deity's life mark. If Qing Yanjing could not help but run out, it would no doubt cause some flaws to occur in the array's operation. At such a crucial time, a small flaw could lead to utter defeat. Qing Yanjing also understood this. She grit her teeth and forced herself to turn around so she would not witness Mu Chen's tortured state.
Boom! Boom!
Mu Chen's body was still exploding. It was as if the inflating spiritual energy would not rest until it blew his body to pieces. At this time, his heart was in turbulence because the spiritual energy was too tumultuous. He was unable to summon the slightest spiritual energy and could only grit his teeth to persist and attempt to activate his Super Power.
Whoosh!
As Mu Chen tried to stabilize the situation in his body, Jiang Ya saw his situation and grinned. His monster-like body suddenly burst out.
As Jiang Ya charged, a dozen figures appeared in a flash. Leading them was Luo Li, who had paid attention to Mu Chen's situation. She asked the Heavenly Sovereigns solemnly, "Everybody, hold him off for a while, please."
"Alright, but time is running out. Help Lord Mu recover as quickly as possible." The Heavenly Sovereigns did not hesitate, as only Mu Chen could deal with the Chief of the Evil Spirit Clan in the present situation.
Luo Li nodded as her delicate body appeared in front of Mu Chen. Clenching her fist, a volume of ancient diagrams appeared in her hands. It was the signature Sacred Object of the Great Spirit Ancient Clan, the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram.
Luo Li could see that the spiritual energy in Mu Chen had spiralled out of control. The Great Spirit Ancient Diagram had the effect of conditioning spiritual energy, and no matter how violent the spiritual energy was, it would become docile under the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram.
However, the Primordial Immortal Body, which contained the Immortality Source in its spiritual energy, was impossible to suppress. Fortunately, it was possible for Luo Li to share some of the pressure on Mu Chen.
Luo Li's beautiful face was grave as she dared not slow down. Conjuring seals, the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram slowly unfolded, floating above Mu Chen's head. The ancient and gentle spiritual light radiated, enveloping Mu Chen's body. Under the light, the frenzied spiritual energy was indeed weakened. Traces of cool aura permeated Mu Chen's body, alleviating the shock of the terrifying spiritual energy. At that moment, Mu Chen immediately seized the opportunity to activate his Super Power.
Qi into Trinity!
With a flash of light, black and white Mu Chens appeared beside him. They then stretched out their palms and placed them on Mu Chen's shoulders as if forming a bridge. The raging spiritual energy in Mu Chen's body began to pour into the two avatars. These two avatars were of the same source, so they had the ability to receive spiritual energy containing Immortality Sources. Otherwise, even if replaced by later-stage Divine Grades, they would not dare to absorb this spiritual power into their bodies.
Boom! Boom!
With two separate avatars to help share the pressure, the storming spiritual energy within Mu Chen was also beginning to slow down. Although the flesh was still in pain, it no longer exploded.
Crystal light began to flow on the surface of Mu Chen's body. Under the light, his blood and flesh were illuminated and finally turned into an ancient glaze-like color. Even his hair was transformed into a transparent color. In just a few moments, Mu Chen had transformed into a crystal figure, standing silently in the space. He emanated an indescribable pressure like an ancient Buddha. His body radiated an ancient charm, as though it had gone through eternity and immortality.
Far away, Qing Yanjing, Maha Tian, the Great Nether Ancestor, and many other Heavenly Sovereigns were startled as they looked at this scene. No one thought that Mu Chen could actually succeed.
"So, he used Qi into Trinity to share the power of the Primordial Immortal Body. Although it can last only for a short period of time, he did it…"
"Now, he will be able to fight in the face of a later-stage Divine Grade."
They looked at each other, and in the end they could not help but exclaim in admiration. No wonder Mu Chen had dared to do it. It had long been planned, but the thought of his wit was astonishing.
In the sky, Mu Chen slowly opened his eyes. His original dark eyes had also turned into a glazed crystal color that was filled with a profound aura more unfathomable than the starry sky.
He tilted his head slightly and looked at the black and white Mu Chens on both sides of him. The two avatars at this time were also transformed into ancient glazed colors, but they were motionless. The strength inside him was too violent, and once there was action, it was very likely that they would be detonated. However, Mu Chen's gaze twinkled as he glanced at the two avatars, because in the previous moment, he had a subtle feeling… That feeling… was the third boundary of the Qi into Trinity, the legendary Tri-God Level.
Even the Heavenly Emperor had not touched this level. Mu Chen had been unable to do so, too, but when the Primordial Immortal Body's forces were previously infused into the two avatars, the three seemed to touch something mysterious.
Mu Chen pondered it, but temporarily dismissed it. He looked up, and his glazed eyes looked into the distance. Facing the Heavenly Sovereigns, Jiang Ya was like a ferocious tiger invading a flock of sheep. With a blow, the sovereigns spat blood and retreated, utterly defeated.
But just as Jiang Ya was about to begin his massacre, his body suddenly stiffened. He had a feeling as though he had been targeted by a wild beast. This made him aware that if he moved even a little, he would be subjected to a destructive barrage of attacks.
He looked up, and his black and purple eyes narrowed. When he saw Mu Chen radiating a crystal aura, his eyes narrowed as he perceived an indescribable sense of danger surging into his heart. Mu Chen's present state had struck fear into him.
Mu Chen stared at Jiang Ya, smirking. In the next moment, he vanished into thin air. Chills ran down Jiang Ya's spine, and he shot away without any hesitation. Rolling black-purple spiritual energy swept out, turning into countless layers of defense, enveloping him within.
Whoosh!
Mu Chen's figure appeared above Jiang Ya like a specter as he looked down indifferently at the numerous layers of defenses. Clenching his fist, he threw a punch.
Crash!
As the punch descended, the glazed crystal light frantically condensed as the whole sky seemed to collapse. The spiritual energy in the heavens and earth converged towards Mu Chen's fist as the source point. It was as if his fist had turned into the blazing sun, brutally descending.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the fist of light descended, the numerous layers of defense were torn apart and crumbled. Jiang Ya shrieked in agony, summoning all his strength to withstand it. Countless evil runes appeared on his arm, a terrifying sight to behold.
Dong!
The glazed splendor of the sun fist descended and collided brutally with the demonic arm. Between heaven and earth, everyone stared at the situation anxiously. Even outside of the Northern Wilderness Hills, Qin Tian and the others, as well as the Saint Heaven Demon Emperor, glanced towards it.
Boom!
A loud sound reverberated as heaven and earth erupted. Everyone then saw that as the fist landed, the black-violet light collapsed as Jiang Ya's demonic arm erupted.
Ah!
With a pained howl, Jiang Ya's body flew backwards violently as it shot through the towering peaks, causing the mountain to collapse. His entire body was embedded in a huge mountain as blood gushed out. Half of his body was utterly shattered.
Everyone gasped in horror. Maha Tian was especially appalled, apparently deterred by the horrendous power of Mu Chen's punch. If he had had to defend against a punch like that and did not use the Maha Yin-Yang Vase, he would have been annihilated by that punch.
"This fellow…" Maha Tian looked at the crystal figure in the sky, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Finally, he sighed helplessly, because he knew that in the face of Mu Chen growing stronger, there was no chance for the Maha Ancient Clan to reclaim the Primordial Immortal Body…
Because this guy was approaching a legendary myth. And that myth was once the greatest sovereign in the Great Thousand World, the Immortal Emperor.
