Chapter 1326: Balrog Clan

Whoosh!

When the wizened voice finished speaking, beyond the abyss, the teams shot up almost at the same time. Then, they went straight to the Four Sacred Tower above the sky.

“Go!” Mu Chen and his party did not hesitate to leave.

At full speed, they appeared in front of the Four Sacred Tower in just a few minutes. As they were in such close contact with it, they were able to feel the grandeur of the tower.

They stood in front of the Four Sacred Tower, feeling insignificant, like mere ants. At the moment, they could only see half of the Four Sacred Tower, as the other half was shrouded in the eerie darkness.

They knew that many members of the Extraterritorial Clan should also be gathering at the other side of the Four Sacred Tower at this very moment.

Rumble!

As the procession arrived at the Four Sacred Tower, the tower door began to open slowly. As the roar of the door opening slowly rumbled like thunder, an ancient aura swept out.

As the door opened, the crowd’s eyes burned with desire. However, they did not enter immediately, but looked at each other, all of them a bit hesitant.

“Gentlemen, we must ensure that the Four Sacred Tower will not be destroyed by the remnant souls of the Heaven Demon Emperor. If that happens, we will be in grave danger.” As the initiator of this journey, Qin Bubai made the official announcement.

Everyone nodded and agreed.

“So, I suggest a division of labor to ensure that each level of the tower is adequately covered. We should not have a swarm of people gathered in one level, as that would be most unwise,” he added.

Qin Bubai wanted to make it clear that they should not all gather together. Otherwise, they would not only be weakened in the other levels, but they would also be competing amongst themselves.

“I am a member of the Budur Ancient Clan, so I am naturally going to the level where my old ancestor was.” Xuan Luo smiled.

“Me too,” Mo Xin said.

Qin Bubai’s expression remained the same, but he seemed slightly relieved. Xuan Luo and Mo Xin were his worthy opponents, and as long as they did not appear in the level where he would be, he knew that he would have a higher probability of gaining the inheritance.

“I choose Optimus Ancestor’s level.” Qin Bubai smiled.

“I choose the Spear Ancestor’s level.” At this time, a burly figure stood out from among the crowd.

His body was surrounded by an astonishingly ominous aura, as he had apparently experienced countless brutal battles. Mu Chen could feel the ominous aura of this person, and he clearly sensed that the man was a Demon Slayer. Not only that, he was a true High Rank Demon Slayer!

The High Rank Demon Slayer’s strength was also at the top of the Complete Earthly Sovereign level. This meant that was no weaker than Xuan Luo, Mo Xin, and Qin Bubai!

“Okay, then I will have to go to Ancestor Great Spirit’s level.” Beside Xuan Luo, a beautiful girl smiled coquettishly.

Following this, all of the other teams were also starting to make their choices.

“Qingxuan, Sister Lingxi, Long Xiang, you all follow Luo Li to Ancestor Great Spirit’s level.” Mu Chen turned to instruct Wen Qingxuan, Lingxi, and the others.

Although Luo Li had already said she had plans, just to be on safe, he gave her all of the fighting power of the two teams. As for himself, Mu Chen did not need their help. After all, he had the Qi into Trinity.

Also, Mu Chen had the largest advantage in terms of numbers. He even had the Mystery Dragon Army!

Hearing Mu Chen’s orders, Luo Li was silent for a moment. Although she was somewhat reluctant, she obeyed. She knew that Mu Chen had given such orders because he was worried about her, and his concern warmed her heart.

“Be careful,” Luo Li said as she watched Mu Chen with concern in her eyes.

In just a few minutes, all of the teams had been assigned and almost every level had a Complete Earthly Sovereign at his peak. Clearly, these top Sovereigns were the most likely candidates to obtain the inheritance.

Mu Chen and Luo Li had also indicated which levels they would go to, but their news did not cause much of a commotion. After all, not many people paid attention to an Upper and Lower Earthly Sovereign. However, Xuan Luo and Mo Xin stared at Mu Chen with disdain.

At the moment, the charming girl named Bai Xin’er smiled at Luo Li, her beautiful eyes flickering with an inexplicable light. With the completion of the team distribution, many Sovereigns could no longer hold themselves back. In the next moment, they suddenly shot out, transforming into streams of light and charging into the ancient tower gate.

“Go!” With a wave of his hand, Mu Chen charged into the Four Sacred Tower, immediately followed by Luo Li and the others.

When Mu Chen rushed into the Four Sacred Tower, he could feel the movement of space all around him. The next moment, his soles were on the ground and the scene around him changed.

As he looked on, he saw what seemed to be a bleak and dense mountain forest. Everything was a withered yellow color, and the whole environment reeked of desolation.

Mu Chen surveyed his surroundings, then gazed far into the east. He could vaguely sense subtle vast fluctuations coming from that direction. That kind of fluctuation caused people to feel a strong sense of pressure.

That vast fluctuation emanated a chilling aura. It was as if it contained a hidden and endless evil, which struck fear in Mu Chen’s heart.

“In that direction… That is where the remains of Ancestor Budur and the Heaven Demon Emperor should be,” Mu Chen murmured.

He felt that he must get there as soon as he could, or else this level would be destroyed and suppressed by the Extraterritorial Race after they released the remnant spirit of the Heaven Demon Emperor!

Whoosh!

As the thought of this, Mu Chen no longer hesitated, but landed lightly on a large tree trunk before his figure transformed into a trail of shadows that travelled full speed through the thick forest.

It may have been faster for him to fly in the air, but that would certainly make him a target. At the moment, Mu Chen did not know how many members of the Extraterritorial Race had entered this level, so it was obviously unwise to take such a risk.

Fortunately, even though he was having to traverse through the mountains and forest, Mu Chen’s speed was still fast as a specter!

Crackle!

At that moment, a blurry figure stepped on some leaves, which emitted a crackling sound. That figure moved forward like a specter, and as it passed, it raised warning bells within Mu Chen’s senses, causing him to stop in his tracks.

Bang!

Directly in front of Mu Chen, the yellow tree suddenly lit up with black flames! A terrible temperature emanated from the flames, causing the entire space to suddenly become distorted.

Crackle.

As the black flames continued to burn, the sound of applause could be heard. Mu Chen then saw two figures emerge slowly from within the flames.

Mu Chen’s gaze grew solemn, as he saw that the two figures’ hair showed signs of being burnt and charred. As such, their hair was an unsettling black color.

“After boss chased after the two women from the Great Thousand World, whom we encountered just now, I didn’t think that we would meet another unlucky fellow!” one of the men exclaimed.

The two men with black flaming hair stared at Mu Chen with cold gazes and murderous smiles.

The other one then said, “His strength is too poor. According to their Great Thousand World ranks, he is merely an Upper Earthly Sovereign. So, he’s just like a weak ant.”

“Extraterritorial Race?” Mu Chen looked at the two men and smiled nonchalantly, raising his eyebrows as he posed the two word question.

“No, we are from the Balrog Clan. The Extraterritorial Race is what you creatures of the Great Thousand World call us.”

Mu Chen nodded lightly. “Regardless, y’all are going to die, so why care about a title?”

The two Sovereigns of the Balrog Clan were stunned by his bold words, but simply grinned. However, their gazes became colder and crueler.

“I’m going to cook him a little bit later with the Demonic Flames!” one of them said maliciously.

“By the way, what did those two women you mentioned earlier look like?” Mu Chen suddenly smiled as he asked.

However, the two Sovereigns of the Balrog Clan stared at him like he was a fool, apparently not intending to give him any information.

“I guess I’ll have to force your mouths open then.” Mu Chen shrugged and smiled.

Boom!

At that moment, violent black demonic flames erupted from their bodies like a volcano. Wherever the flames swept, the mountains and forests were instantly ablaze.

“Just you wait… I’ll make you suffer a fate worse than death!” one of the men yelled. Then, as he and the other demonic shadow burst out, the rolling heat waves charged towards Mu Chen.

The two powerful Sovereigns of the Balrog Clan were clearly cunning, as even in the face of what seemed to be only an Upper Earthly Sovereign, they had still struck at the same time and were obviously being extremely cautious. However, Mu Chen only looked at the swiftly approaching demonic shadows and smiled.

Mu Chen then stormed out suddenly, and at the same time, the two Sovereigns’ pupils shrank, for they saw two identical figures suddenly appearing beside them. This made them charge forward with an even more ferocious aura.

“This is bad!” one of them cried out, and for a moment, the two Sovereigns of the Balrog Clan’s hearts sank. They knew that they were in trouble!
