Chapter 957: Chapter 951

Right above the sea, the various forces lifted their heads, watching the scene before them in shock. Their eyes were filled with disbelief and surprise.

Even the Earthly Sovereigns could not hide their shocked expressions.It was clearly evident that no one could remain calm, now that they had seen an Earthly Sovereign perish before their very eyes!

The gigantic Starry Suppression Tower was quietly standing tall in the sky. Although the ripples were dissipating, the sense of oppression, which was being exuding from the pyramid, was still very threatening.

Mu Chen also felt shocked, while he was watching the fall of the Lord of Divine Pavilion. He was secretly stunned.

After all, the Fourth Hall Master was once the ruler of the entire North Territory. Moreover, his means were cruel and ruthless. He did not give the Lord of Divine Pavilion any chance to survive.

“That Starry Suppression Tower was amazing.”

Mu Chen voiced his loud praise. Even though the Fourth Hall Master could have defeated the Lord of the Divine Pavilion himself, he could never have killed him without this powerful holy item. After all, it was not easy to kill an Earthly Sovereign!

“If it was not powerful enough, how could it have been the deciding factor between the battle of the two Earthly Sovereigns?” said Mandela with a laugh.

As her greatest enemy, the Lord of the Divine Pavilion had perished, she seemed more relaxed. From now on, the Daluo Territory would undoubtedly become the real dominator in the North Territory!

“Can we take it away?” asked Mu Chen to Mandela, his eyes flickering.

If such a powerful sacred object were to fall into the hands of the Daluo Territory, it would increase their strength exponentially. Even if they could not dominate the entire North Territory, it would at the very least secure their place as one of the top forces.

Mandela’s eyes flickered as she heard this. She was also eyeing the powerful sacred object.

“This sacred object is attractive, I know. But, don’t act rashly! The Lord of the Divine Pavilion is an excellent example of how badly that can turn out!”

Seeing the outcome of the Lord of the Divine Pavilion, she was acutely on guard against the Fourth Hall Master. After all, no one knew if he had other skills hidden up his sleeve.

Mu Chen nodded. His gaze swept out and discovered the rest of the Earthly Sovereigns were also eyeing the Starry Suppression Tower with greed. But, they were apparently afraid of that Fourth Hall Master, so they did not dare try to take it by force, even though they were tempted by it.

While the various forces were looking at the Starry Suppression Tower with green-eyed envy, the space in front of the dark pyramid suddenly rippled. Then, a figure walked out slowly from it. All of the people fixed their eyes on the figure, shocked. It was the Fourth Hall Master, who had just burst out from the spiritual puppet!

His body was translucent, as if he was going to disappear at anytime. Despite his frail-looking form, no Earthly Sovereigns dared to make a move, as he stood in the void with his hands at his back.

“Judging from the way you all barged into my place of burial, it looks like our Celestial Palace is gone for good.” The Fourth Hall Master looked at the rest of them from above, then gave a soft sigh. Mandela nodded her head when she heard his words.

“Rumor has it that the Master of the Celestial Palace fought with a lord from the Extraterritorial Race when they were attacking the Tianluo Continent. Although he successfully defeated the lord, he also suffered serious injuries. So severe were his injuries, he eventually perished. Then, the entire Celestial Palace disappeared after the war…”

The Fourth Hall Master’s expression was dark as he muttered, “Even the Master of the Celestial Palace perished…”

He sulked for a while, before he got his senses back. He gave a strange smile to the rest of them, then said, “Looks like all of you are after my place of burial?”

Upon hearing this, Mandela, Holy Old Ancestor, and the rest of the Earthly Sovereigns all had awkward expression on their faces.

“That’s fine. It’s a matter of course that the things I left could be useful to someone else.” The Fourth Hall Master gave a faint smile. He pointed at the Starry Suppression Tower, which was suspended in the air, then asked, “Do you all want this?”

Upon hearing this, the few Earthly Sovereigns took a deep breath. The tower was obviously attractive to them. After all, if they had this tower, they could make a safe retreat when they faced any upper Earthly Sovereign!

“Frankly speaking, such sacred object must be given to someone who is worthy. And, as most of the lower Earthly Sovereigns all have the capability of obtaining it…,” began the Fourth Hall Master.

The few Earthly Sovereigns’ eyes brightened when they heard this beginning of his statement. Looking at their reactions, the Fourth Hall Master stopped mid-sentence, then drew his lips together. He then turned his gaze towards Mu Chen, who was standing behind Mandela.

“Young lad, did you find the Spiritual Tower Seal?”

Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, until he realized that the Fourth Hall Master was referring to the previous small black, dark pyramid. So, he nodded in reply.

“You even found it, when I’d hidden it so carefully! Seems like we share some affinity,” said the Fourth Hall Master, a faint smile on his face. Then, slowly, his expression seemed to ease up completely. “If you had not activated the last soul that I had left behind, I would have been taken away by the force of the Sky-Devouring Evil Emperor.”

Mu Chen laughed with embarrassment. He had not thought too much about his actions at the time. He was just trying to lure the spiritual puppet into the battle in order to counter the Lord of the Divine Pavilion. It was a total coincidence that the Fourth Hall Master was being called out.

“No matter what your original intentions were, you’ve helped me at least once now. If it had not been for you, my countless years of suppression would have been in vain,” said the Fourth Hall Master, who gave a smile as if he knew exactly what was going on in Mu Chen’s head right at that moment. “And, I do not like to owe anyone favors.”

When he said this, the rest of the top powers’ hearts skipped a beat. Apart from Mandela, the rest of the Earthly Sovereigns had a bad feeling stirring inside them.

They had a hard time breathing, when they saw the Fourth Hall Master raise up his hand. The gigantic Starry Suppression Tower in the sky was shaking. Then, it suddenly shrunk into the size of a palm, falling into the hands of the Fourth Hall Master.

“This is the Starry Suppression Tower, and it is one of our most sacred items in the Celestial Palace. I wanted to keep it to suppress the Sky-Devouring Evil Emperor, but since the evil has gone, there is no place for this tower anymore. So, let this tower follow the one with an affinity for it.”

He flicked the small tower, turning it into a falling star. Subsequently, it went straight in between the eyebrows of Mu Chen.

The starlight in between his eyebrows gradually dissipated. As it did so, Mu Chen was also dumbfounded. The rest of the lords from the Daluo Territory were staring at him with their green eyes again. Their jealousy could not be hidden.

This action of the Fourth Hall Master was unexpected. He had all of a sudden given such a powerful sacred object to Mu Chen, who was only a Grade Five Sovereign!

Given Mu Chen’s current capability, he could not wield the power of this sacred object. Hence, most saw this as such a waste of a holy object!

The Holy Old Ancestor, Demon Emperor, and the rest of the Earthly Sovereigns were so jealous. If it were not for the presences of Mandela and the Fourth Hall Master, who had yet to dissipate, they would have forced their hands on Mu Chen right then and there! For such a precious item to be taken by a mere Grade Five Sovereign kid, it truly was unfathomable!

“A drop of Spiritual Deity Liquid, which was taken from the body of the previous man, is now in this tower. You can decide who you want to give it to.”

The Fourth Hall Master smiled at Mu Chen. He waved his hand lazily, and his body became even more translucent. “The Primordial Celestial Palace was sealed by the Master. Perhaps the Starry Suppression Tower could sense its presence…”

Mu Chen took a deep breath when he heard this. If this was so, the Starry Suppression Tower might could be used to find the missing Primordial Celestial Palace!

And, if that was the case, this tower was exceptionally scary. Having such a highly valued tower, he felt nervous!. He knew very well that, if the news got around, he could become a target of the many forces! Although this tower was indeed a precious gift, it had also landed him in hot water!

Mu Chen watched as the Fourth Hall Master grew weaker. He gave a bitter smile. While he was feeling nervous about the Master’s fading, a voice resounded in his heart, “Young lad, you have the Great Solar Undying Body in you. If you could enter the Primordial Celestial Palace, you can attempt to transform your undying body into the Immortal Golden Body.”

The sudden voice stunned Mu Chen, and he was shocked for a moment. He had not even displayed his Great Solar Undying Body yet. But, the Fourth Hall Master had already noticed it.

Immortal Golden Body?

Mu Chen’s eyes squinted on hearing the name. His eyes then sharpened, as he thought to himself.

Could the Immortal Golden Body be the upgraded version of the Great Solar Undying Body?

Mu Chen breathed even harder. After all, he had been searching for this for years. Today, he finally had a piece of accurate information about the Immortal Golden Body! This brought him one step closer to the Primordial Immortal Body!

“Thank you, Master!” Mu Chen lifted his head, cupped his fist, then gave a bow to the figure, who was slowly disappearing. He was very grateful for this piece of news.

But, the Fourth Hall Master only waved his hands without, showing no expression in response to Mu Chen’s gratitude. He then slowly disappeared under the watchful eyes of many people.

“The Primordial Celestial Palace, which used to rule over the entire Daluo Territory, has now disappeared. Fate has made a fool of us…” As he disappeared, his cold and old voice echoed throughout the empty space.

The top powers from the various forces all let out sighs of relief. Subsequently, they fixed their eyes on Mu Chen, as if they were hungry wolves.

But, Mu Chen pretended not to have noticed them. He pondered slightly for moment, then finally held his hand up. The dark golden pyramid appeared in his hand. He handed the tower to Mandela, whose eyes were filled with disbelief.

Although this sacred item was precious, it also brought with it a lot of trouble. As such, he would be targeted by all of these people. Moreover, given his current Grade Five Sovereign’s capability, he would not be able yet wield its power.

Hence, it would only be a disaster for him to have it. Mu Chen knew this fact very well, given that he was always so careful and calm about making decisions.
