Chapter 1032: Jin Qingtian

The overbearing golden torrents swept through, making the earth an utter mess. However, Han Shan and Nine Nether’s faces suddenly changed. They snapped their heads around and stared into the distance with solemn expressions.

Over there, the last seemingly ordinary figure slowly stepped out from among the three inconspicuous shadows. He was rather small and thin, but when he walked out, there was a formless sense of pressure spreading outwards from him.

“I didn’t expect to be forced out here… I had even originally been thinking of touching some top divine beasts of supreme talent.” That silhouette raised his head and revealed a rather ordinary face. However, when he smiled slightly, there was a heart-rending sharpness in his eyes.

“You’re… Jin Qingtian?!”

Seeing this person, Han Shan’s eyes instantly narrowed, and he couldn’t help saying, “Isn’t it rumored that you’re in seclusion to make an attempt to break through to Grade Eight Sovereign?”

“Jin Qingtian?” Mu Chen’s expression turned solemn as well. It turned out that this person was the boss of the so called Bi-Golden Heroes of the Golden Lion Clan, Jin Qingtian. However, this name and his ordinary figure did not really match up.

“It has not been so easy to make a breakthrough, so I came out to try my luck…” The man smiled and lifted his palm. On his back, what seemed like a spiritual light pattern was rapidly disappearing. With the disappearance of the spiritual light patterns, Mu Chen and the others were aware of the gradual awakening of an ongoing brewing of an absurdly powerful spiritual ability within this man’s body.

Jin Qingtian suddenly looked at Mu Chen and asked, “You must have been able to detect me, right?”

Mu Chen’s gaze flickered. He had detected some strangeness previously, so he was alert and a bit cautious. The previous killing of the five Grade Seven Sovereigns one by one was actually what had forced this man to show up.

However, this person’s patience was also beyond Mu Chen’s expectation. Originally, Mu Chen had intended to use the power of the God’s Punishment Array to kill the person by thunderbolt when he appeared. However, he had been forbearing until Mu Chen had squandered most of the God’s Punishment Array’s power while secretly detecting some of the God’s Punishment Array’s key spiritual seals. This directly led to his first move at the last moment, shattering the spiritual seals and also forcibly smashing the God’s Punishment Array.

This person was quite powerful, regardless of strength or tactics.

“You’re cruel indeed,” said Mu Chen lightly. If this person had appeared earlier, he would obviously have had the ability to save his companions.

Hearing this, Jin Qingtian laughed. “I will make sure that you’re buried with them so they will not have died in vain.”

Declining to comment further, Mu Chen slightly narrowed his eyes.

“Mu Chen, please be careful. This person is a rare supreme talent of the Golden Lion Clan, enough to rival some of the supreme talents in the Divine Beast Race. Even when compared to the Grade Seven Sovereigns, his strength is absolutely top-notch.” Han Shan’s solemn voice was filled with fear.

Mu Chen nodded slightly. Of course he could feel the dangerous atmosphere Jin Qingtian brought on. In fact, it was even greater than that of Han Shan. This person’s capability was far stronger than any of the Grade Seven Sovereigns whom he had met before. He was indeed at the summit of Grade Seven Sovereign. Han Shan, Nine Nether, and the rest were all weaker than he was.

“Hehe, since you forced his appearance, then I’m afraid that even if you had wings, you would not be able to flee,” said Huo Yang while grinning. He was not surprised about Jin Qingtian’s appearance. Obviously, he had known about it earlier on. It was no wonder that he didn’t hesitate to plot against Han Shan, as he had firmly believed that the Golden Lion Clan would be the final winner.

“That kid, although his spiritual array is somewhat capable, now it’s all broken. There’s not enough time for him to possibly arrange a second array!”

After the previous battle, Mu Chen’s means of utilizing his spiritual array had been exposed. With Jin Qingtian’s tactics, he would never allow Mu Chen enough time to devise another spiritual array, and the latter knew this as well. Hence, ever since Jin Qingtian had appeared, he basically did not intend to devise a spiritual array to compete with him.

“I’m afraid it’s still a little early to be happy,” Nine Nether said with a cold smile. Although Jin Qingtian was an unusual being, if they thought that Mu Chen’s ultimate move was the spiritual array, then it would certainly be much to their chagrin.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yang sneered, wondering why these guys were still counting on the kid called Mu Chen. Facing the Golden Lion Clan’s supreme talent, even for the supreme talents among the tribe of the top divine beasts, they would still treat him with solemnity.

“Brother Mu, do you need any help from us?” whispered the Grade Seven Sovereign of the Demonic Rhino Clan, who cautiously approached while glancing at Jin Qingtian with fear.

Mu Chen shook his head slightly. Jin Qingtian’s strength was incredible. The ordinary Grade Seven Sovereign would not be able to compete with him at all. Therefore, if they joined the battle, Mu Chen would have to look after them, and thus it could affect his battle strength.

When the three strong men of the Demonic Rhino Clan saw this, they did not have much to say and decisively retreated. Although this hurt their self-esteem, they understood that this incomparable level of fighting was not worth intervening in.

Jin Qingtian slowly approached and stopped 100 steps away from Mu Chen. “It seems that you’re very confident in yourself,” Jin Qingtian said while looking at Mu Chen strangely.

“Otherwise?” Mu Chen smiled. His face did not exhibit any sign of fear.

Jin Qingtian nodded slightly and said, “Golden Break’s eyesight is so poor that he can’t see that you’re the most difficult guy to deal with in this group, but… maybe, even this is not enough.” His appearance was extremely ordinary and was nothing to boast about. However, when he spoke, he had a sense of dominance that somewhat matched with the name of the supreme talent of the Golden Lion Clan.

“Then please enlighten me.” Within Mu Chen’s black pupils, a golden light began to condense. After entering the Land of the Divine Beasts, he had met many supreme talents, most of whom were powerful. Their overall skills were obviously greater than that of the younger generation in the North Territory. Especially Jin Qingtian, who was the most dangerous person among the younger generations he had met during this period.

However, in the face of such a dangerous opponent, Mu Chen was not afraid, but instead, he felt as if the blood in his body were boiling. Ever since he had broken through to the second layer of Dragon-Phoenix Scripture, he had not really pushed himself to the extreme just yet.

During the previous battle against Zong Teng, the latter simply could not force him to go all out. Therefore, Mu Chen was very eager to try and find out what kind of legendary record he would be able to set when facing the peak talent of the Grade Seven Sovereign with his Dragon-Phoenix Body once it was triggered to the optimum.

When Jin Qingtian gazed at Mu Chen’s body, which was gradually beaming with golden light, the expression in his eyes froze as well. “What a strong body…”

Despite the fact that they had yet to compete, he was already able to sense the danger brought on by Mu Chen’s strong physique. According to his evaluation, the strength of the physique alone was perhaps greater than that of an ordinary Grade Seven Sovereign.

“My breakthrough this time precisely requires many strong people to challenge me. At this moment, you’re qualified to be the stone to sharpen my knife, but unfortunately, upon completion of this battle, this place may be where you’re buried.” Jin Qingtian took a deep breath. Then, there was actually a blood-thirsty aura appearing in his eyes. He looked at Mu Chen and smiled. His face was gradually possessed by the intent of killing and made him seem slightly ferocious.

He had already considered Mu Chen a stepping stone for his breakthrough!

“I’m just afraid that your knife’s quality is too poor. Be careful, for you might grind it too much and cause it to break.” Mu Chen laughed softly, and while his voice was peaceful, it contained a sense of tit for tat. Even while facing Jin Qingtian, who was gradually looking more and more ferocious, he did not have even the slightest intention of retreating.

“Haha, good! You’re courageous!” Upon hearing Mu Chen’s words, Jin Qingtian was not angered, but instead, he laughed loudly towards the sky. His laughter became louder and louder. It turned into the roaring of a lion that rumbled and resounded in the sky, causing the earth to tremble.

An overbearing golden light burst out from his body, and both Jin Qingtian’s hair and eyes turned golden in color. From a distance, he looked like an ancient golden lion with frightening boldness and power.

Waves upon waves of violent spiritual energy pervaded uncontrollably like tidal waves oscillating the earth. Jin Qingtian’s predominant pressure was actually making the faces of Han Shan, Nine Nether, and the rest slightly discolored, even though they were standing so far away.

“Haha, how long has it been? It has been a long time since anyone dared to talk to me like that.” Jin Qingtian’s seemingly golden eyes shined on Mu Chen. Laughing, he said, “But if I find out later that you’re not qualified to say those things, I’ll break all your bones!”

Boom!

Just as he said his last word, Jin Qingtian suddenly stomped his foot, making the earth under him collapse. His figure directly turned into golden light and instantly disappeared.

As Jin Qingtian’s body disappeared, there was a golden glow brewing in Mu Chen’s eyes brought about by the Dragon-Phoenix Body. He tipped his toe, and his body turned into light and shadow before he retreated.

Boom!

A golden shadow fist pierced the void, directly hitting the land where Mu Chen had previously stood. The earth suddenly oscillated, and cracks appeared on the land before a layer of the ground fell away.

Although the punch missed its mark, there was no change in his expression before his fists slammed again like a Thunder God waving the Thunder Hammer. It brought along thunderous claps as well as violent, overbearing, and tremendous power.

Mu Chen retreated, as if to avoid direct contact with the opponent’s powerful strength.

“What’s wrong? Weren’t you just bragging before this? Why are you unable to withstand it now?” Jin Qingtian’s violent and offensive attacks persisted. At the same time, his laughter was deafening.

Mu Chen’s retreating figure suddenly stopped. Within the depths of his black pupils, the deep golden light finally condensed to the extreme. He then slowly clenched his fists. In his arms, the spirit of the real dragon and real phoenix were unleashed. This entanglement was wrapped around his arms, and the cries of a dragon and phoenix faintly echoed in Mu Chen’s body. It shook up his vital energy and blood, and caused his spiritual energy to overlay his strength in a crazed manner.

Boom!

A huge golden light was released in the space ahead. Jin Qingtian’s figure flashed again, and the golden fist’s shadow, which resembled a lion swallowing the sky, began to envelop them, as if it wanted to destroy the earth.

However this time, in the face of Jin Qingtian’s increasingly prodigious attacks, Mu Chen no longer retreated, because he sensed that his Dragon-Phoenix body was finally brewed to the extreme.

The power was as strong as a volcano and could no longer wait to erupt. And since Mu Chen could bear it no longer, then he might as well let it burst!

Let me test how powerful the peak of a Grade Seven Sovereign can be!

Golden light was surging in those black pupils. He had an unaffected expression before he struck heavily with his golden fist.

Under the watchful eyes in the distance, the two violent and overbearing fists of golden lights heavily bombarded each other.
