Boom!
Above the sky, the majestic palace broke apart. A terrible force surrounded it, crushing it like dust.
Everything happened so quickly, and when the palace shattered, the whole world, including the numerous sovereigns of the Mu Estate and all of the members of other factions, froze. No one had expected that Mu Chen would be so brutal that he would not give any face to Ancestor Xuan Tian at all!
His actions would certainly infuriate him, and infuriating a Heavenly Sovereign would mean that today’s affairs would not be resolved easily!
While standing before the Mu Estate’s main hall, many sovereigns were appalled as they grumbled internally. Their Estate Master seemed to be too reckless, as infuriating a Heavenly Sovereign could not be considered a rational decision!
In that distant place, Reverend Purple Cloud, Golden Eagle King, and others were watching this scene unfold, while smiling mockingly. Mu Chen had finally appeared and smashed Ancestor Xuan Tian’s palace upon his entrance!
As such, Ancestor Xuan Tian would certainly not let this matter rest. The Mu Estate would certainly fall today…
As countless lamentations, sarcastic remarks, and sighs echoed throughout the area, high above in the sky, a bright light condensed between the debris of the shattered palace, then gradually turned into a figure. The figure was dressed in a dark robe that had a sun, moon, and stars stitched on it.
His hair was pale, but his face was as fair as a baby’s. His eyes were deepset, his eyebrows were defined, and he emanated an air of authority. As he surveyed his surroundings, even the space shook under his gaze.
Obviously, this was Ancestor Xuan Tian! His pale face was dark, while spiritual energy surged around his body, then transformed into a thousand stars behind his back. The power was appalling!
He glanced at the shattered palace behind him, then his cold eyes locked onto Mu Chen, like a hawk that was targeting its prey. “How hot-tempered you are, young man!” he said coldly. “You have destroyed one of my palaces today, so I’m afraid you’ll have to pay for it with your entire Mu Estate!”
Mu Chen stood in the sky far away from Ancestor Xuan Tian. He stared at him and said with a sneer, “You think you are so powerful just because you are old!”
“How audacious!” A cold glint flashed in Ancestor Xuan Tian’s eyes.
After all, he was a Heavenly Sovereign, who was feared and revered everywhere. But, Mu Chen had not only dared to destroy his palace, but was also being so disrespectful! It looked like he really had a death wish!
Boom!
Hundreds of millions of bright lights suddenly burst out from Ancestor Xuan Tian’s body. Then, tens of thousands of huge stars appeared behind his back. As those countless stars flickered, an endless pressure swept through the space.
Boom!
Under this pressure, the whole world was trembling, while a continuous emergence of cracks surfaced on the ground. The Mu Estate sovereigns who were subjected under the pressure, especially those below the rank of Earthly Sovereign, instantly cowered on the ground.
The sovereigns above the rank of Earthly Sovereign were forced down to their knees. After all, a no-holds barred release of oppression was not something that these Earthly Sovereigns could bear.
“It’s not your place to wreak havoc in my Mu Estate!” Mu Chen stated coldly as he stepped out. A vast light erupted behind him, as if it were a scorching sun that was rising.
An equally strong pressure condensed like a tsunami and surged skyward. It then shocked Ancestor Xuan Tian’s spiritual energy oppression, then forced it to dissipate.
At the moment when Ancestor Xuan Tian’s oppression had disappeared, the whole world seemed to become silent. The Mu Estate sovereigns and other formidable characters present were so startled, their faces all began to pale.
They looked in horror at the young figure in the sky, as they could clearly feel how terrifying the spiritual energy fluctuations that he was emitting were. Those kinds of fluctuations had surpassed even the rank of the Earthly Sovereigns! They clearly belonged to a Heavenly Sovereign!
Mandela and Ling Xi were also staring at Mu Chen at this time, both of them utterly stunned. A moment later, they looked at each other and gasped as they asked at the same time, “Are these the Heavenly Sovereign’s fluctuations? Did the Estate Master break through to become a Heavenly Sovereign?”
Beside them, Liu Tiandao and many other high-ranking officials of the Mu Estate were equally shocked. Although they had clearly experienced how talented their Estate Master was, they had never thought that Mu Chen would have found the way to become a Heavenly Sovereign in such a short period of only one year!
“How is this possible?” In the distance, Reverend Purple Cloud wondered aloud, while he and the others also looked at the young figure, their eyes clearly frightened.
As they had fought with Mu Chen in the past, their shock was the most intense. After all, just a year ago, Mu Chen was only a Complete Earthly Sovereign, but now, he was a Heavenly Sovereign!

“This Mu Chen is a monster!” someone exclaimed.
Everyone shook in terror and began murmuring, while a sense of fear filled their hearts. Of course, they weren’t the only ones who were shocked, but all of the powerful leaders on the continent that day had focused their attentions in various ways on the Mu Estate. Apparently, the news that Mu Chen had broken through to the Heavenly Sovereign level had silenced the whole Tianluo Continent!
However, Mu Chen did not pay too much attention to everyone’s shock. He just raised his head and looked at Ancestor Xuan Tian emotionlessly, while the latter’s expression darkened.
“Da*n it, boy! How could you breakthrough to the Heavenly Sovereign level?” Ancestor Xuan Tian’s face changed, while his gaze revealed his shock.
According to the information that he had received, Mu Chen was nothing more than a Complete Earthly Sovereign, but the Mu Chen in front of him was obviously far above such a level!
“Why? Didn’t you have fun wreaking havoc in my Mu Estate just now?” Mu Chen looked at Ancestor Xuan Tian’s uncertain face, his eyes slightly cold, while he spoke sarcastically.
Upon hearing his words, Ancestor Xuan Tian’s face turned grave and he snorted coldly. “Boy, don’t be cocky! You just stepped into the rank of Heavenly Sovereign. If it really comes to a fight, I can deal with you easily.”
He was, at least, a Heavenly Sovereign too, and all eyes were upon him now. As such, it would be no small blow to his reputation if Mu Chen embarrassed him.
Mu Chen smiled nonchalantly as he asked, “Who exactly told you to find trouble with me?”
Although Ancestor Xuan Tian’s behavior was likely to have been spurred by the supreme powers behind the Purple Cloud Sect, Mu Chen’s instincts caused him to feel that there were other reasons behind it as well.
Ancestor Xuan Tian sneered. “Shouldn’t you know who you have offended?”
Mu Chen’s eyes narrowed. Although he had offended a lot of people, there was obviously only one opponent who could engage a Heavenly Sovereign to deal with him. That was the Budur Ancient Clan.
Qing Shuang had sent news that, although the Budur Ancient Clan did not dare to strike at him, they could still find other Heavenly Sovereigns to do so for them. With the network of the Budur Ancient Clan elders, it was clear that it would not be too hard to ask a Heavenly Sovereign to strike.
A cold glint flashed in Mu Chen’s eyes before he quickly concealed his emotions and said coldly, “No matter who entrusted you with this task, since you have lost your mind, it is natural that you must pay the price.”
“How arrogant!” Ancestor Xuan Tian laughed out of fury.
When he became famous in the Great Thousand World, Mu Chen had not even been born yet, and still, he dared to speak to him like this! But, Mu Chen did not talk nonsense with him any longer.
At that moment, the billions of lights that had burst out of his body suddenly began to retreat before finally converging into his body. With the influx of this vast spiritual energy coming into his body, Mu Chen’s flesh and blood gradually changed into a shining crystal spiritual body.
At this moment, it was as if Mu Chen’s flesh and blood had been transformed into pure spiritual energy, which had an indescribable and horrifying power.
“Heavenly Spiritual Body?” Seeing this, Ancestor Xuan Tian’s gaze turned solemn. The fact that Mu Chen could do this meant that it was true that he had stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign stage.
“It is clear that this boy has just stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign stage and has not yet to refine the spiritual pulse that is hidden in the deepest part of his body.” Ancestor Xuan Tian’s gaze flickered. As an experienced Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign, he could easily see the flaws of Mu Chen’s Spiritual Body.
Today, it seems that there is no way to settle this amicably. In that case, I’ll first fight the boy, then subdue him. Let’s see if he will still be so arrogant then!
After Ancestor Xuan Tian thought these things in his heart, he came to a decision. According to his estimation, Mu Chen had only just stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign stage, so he obviously was not entirely in control of its power yet. Hence, it should not be too difficult to defeat him.
With a resolution in his heart, Ancestor Xuan Tian’s eyes became cold and fierce. He stared at Mu Chen and said coldly, “Since you are a boy who does not know what’s good for you, I will let show you today that, even if you step into the Heavenly Sovereign stage, there are still too many people in this world that can make you pay! As such, it’s not your place to be so arrogant!”
Boom!
When he finished speaking, his body shook. At that same time, hundreds of millions of lights burst forth from him.
Behind him, countless stars shot into his body, so that his body became a bright Spiritual Body that was engraved with the stars. The boundless spiritual energy fluctuations swept out of his body.
High above this scene, two Spiritual Bodies stood in the air. They made eye contact as a cold light surged throughout the space and the temperature between heaven and earth suddenly dropped.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the two Spiritual Bodies burst out amid the crowd’s fervent gazes.
