Chapter 942 - Divine Battle Will Board
It was a foot long ancient stone chessboard that appeared in Mu Chen's hand with complicated and cryptic runes carved on it. Furthermore, looking carefully at it, one could see exquisite statues in it that looked alive. It was extremely bizarre.
This stone chessboard was naturally what Mu Chen had obtained in the Death Ruin, the Divine Battle Will Board bestowed to him by the Sky Formation Emperor. This chessboard had roughly a thousand troops, all with powerful might.
But this item was a consumable, the moment he used it, the stone troops would disappear after his usage. Therefore, Mu Chen had never intended to use it lightly. But with the current dangerous situation, he clearly couldn't refrain himself from using it any longer. Otherwise, what good would treasures be if he was dead?
"Hmph. Brat, you still want to resist? Truly stubborn!" When the South Pavilion Lord saw Mu Chen's action, he coldly sneered. Although there were some bizarre undulations coming from the stone chessboard, he wasn't fearful. After all, even with his Spiritual Energy suppressed at this moment, it wouldn't be difficult for him to kill Mu Chen.
As he spoke, he opened his palm and a violent Spiritual Energy gathered. In just a few breaths, it had already turned into a scarlet flaming feather, blazing with intense flames on it.
The temperature in this region had also instantly risen.
"Fire Phoenix Divine Art - Flaming Feathers Incinerating Heavens!"
Although he wasn't fearful of Mu Chen, the South Pavilion Lord was still a peak expert in the Northern Region, so he was still cautious. Thus, he did not hold back when he attacked Mu Chen. If this Divine Art landed, even a Sixth Grade Sovereign would definitely die.
"That old goat of the Divine Pavilion is ruthless, to be using a Divine Art to deal with Mu Chen..."
When the experts of the other forces saw this scene, they couldn't help being startled. Some Sixth Grade Sovereigns even had a grave expression. The South Pavilion Lord's ruthlessness and decisiveness had clearly exceeded their expectations, and Mu Chen would probably be dead facing this attack.
The South Pavilion Lord stood in the sky as he looked at Mu Chen, before pointing his withered finger down.
Buzz!
In that instant when his finger pointed down, a flaming feather had shot out and the scarlet flames had instantly dominated throughout the horizon, akin to devouring the heavens and earth. As the blazing flames whistled, it had formed into a fiery phoenix that enveloped towards Mu Chen with destructive flames.
Facing such a terrifying attack from the South Pavilion Lord, even Mu Chen had felt a chill in his heart. If he did not have the Divine Battle Will Board to face this attack, then he would probably have to pay a great price today.
"This old goat..."
Mu Chen cursed in his heart as he gritted his teeth. He no longer hesitated and his Spiritual Energy instantly flowed towards the Divine Battle Will Board.
Buzz!
Along with the injection of Spiritual Energy, that ancient stone chessboard had burst forth with brilliance and numerous silhouettes had shot out. Instantly, a terrifying Spiritual Energy had burst out that formed into a seal of Battle Will that clashed with the flaming feather.
Boom!
A terrifying Spiritual Energy shock wave exploded and space of nearly a thousand feet rippled with waves, causing the nearby experts to have the blood and energy rolling in their bodies as they immediately retreated.
After stabilising themselves, they directed their gazes back to the point of collision and their faces were replaced with deep shock.
That's because, in that region, Mu Chen still stood standing without any harm. But how could he be unharmed when facing that terrifying attack from the South Pavilion Lord?!
"What's that?!"
They were briefly stunned before exclamations resounded when they realised a grey light was blossoming behind Mu Chen. In the grey light, a considerable troop at a scale of roughly a thousand in grey armour had appeared...
And the terrifying Battle Will came from that grey-armoured troop.
"Looks like I have belittled you, brat!"
Up in the sky, the South Pavilion Lord was also a little astonished to look at the sudden appearance of the grey-armoured troop standing behind Mu Chen. His aged face had turned dark, since he never expected Mu Chen to block his killing move so easily.
"So it's the Divine Battle Will Board. You actually still possess such a treasure!"
The South Pavilion Lord's face turned dark as he spoke with his teeth clenched. He was, after all, a peak expert of the Northern Region, so he had extraordinary experience as well. Thus, he was able to recognise the stone board in Mu Chen's hand with a single glance.
Mu Chen was also a little shocked to see that the South Pavilion Lord could instantly recognise the Divine Battle Will Board. After all, it was an extremely rare item, so he never expected the old goat to know about it.
"Since you know about this, then I will have to ask the South Pavilion Lord to help me test it's power." Mu Chen grinned. Since the Divine Battle Will Board was only a one-time use, he naturally had to put it to good use, since it had already been brought out.
As he spoke, Mu Chen's finger gently flicked on the board.
Buzz!
A buzzing noise resounded and the thousand stone troops had also abruptly opened their eyes. There wasn't any consciousness in their eyes, but they were blazing with fire.
Rumble!
A boundless Battle Will exploded like a volcano from their bodies, before gathering in the sky. Layers of black clouds swiftly covered the horizon as a terrifying oppression spread out that made the face of every expert in this region to change.
Sensing the terrifying Battle Will, the face of the South Pavilion Lord had also turned ugly. If he was at his peak, he would naturally not be afraid of the stone troop. But his Spiritual Energy had suffered a suppression of nearly half, so if he fought, the outcome would be unexpectable.
"The Divine Battle Will Board requires Spiritual Energy to use it. As long as I can swiftly kill that brat, those stone troops will disappear!"
The South Pavilion Lord's gaze changed, before it suddenly became ferocious and he took a step forth. In that instant, when he had taken a step forth, his silhouette had already disappeared.
But Mu Chen had long guarded against the South Pavilion Lord's bizarre speed. So in that instant when the South Pavilion Lord disappeared, his phoenix fings flapped and he bolted into the stone troop formation.
Rustle!
In the previous location that Mu Chen stood, space rippled, before the South Pavilion Lord's silhouette had appeared. But his face was ashen when he realised that he had missed, since he never expected Mu Chen to be so agile.
Mu Chen issued a cold sneer towards the South Pavilion Lord upon entering the formation of the stone troops, before he poured his Spiritual Energy into the board that he was holding.
Roar!
A thousand hollow yet blazing eyes shot towards the South Pavilion Lord as the layers of clouds started to roll. In the next instant, they had formed into a stone pike that was roughly few hundred feet long. It was packed with dense runes that didn't look to be less than few myriads at a rough look.
Whoosh!
The stone pike had pierced through space and appeared before the South Pavilion Lord.
The South Pavilion Lord's face had turned ashen upon facing such an attack from the stone troops. His silhouette burst in retreat as he formed some seals, before he yelled, "Flaming Phoenix Palm!"
He had abruptly thrown a palm forth. As a boundless Spiritual Energy surged, scarlet flames swept out and formed into a huge flaming phoenix palm that clashed with the stone pike.
Boom!
As the two collided, a violent shock wave instantly swept out that caused the surrounding space to distort with myriad feet of waves lifting from the lake down below.
Hmph!
As the shock wave swept out, the South Pavilion Lord snorted and his silhouette retreated a few dozen feet, while Mu Chen was unharmed within the stone troops.
Evidently, the South Pavilion Lord had suffered a small loss in this confrontation.
When this scene was witnessed by everyone else, their hearts trembled. The South Pavilion Lord was a genuine Eighth Grade Sovereign with a transcending position in the Northern Region. But right now, he had suffered a loss in the hands of Mu Chen, so the shock caused by it wasn't small.
The South Pavilion Lord looked a little pathetic as he stabilised himself. His face was ashen as he looked at Mu Chen with a gaze that looked like he wanted to tear his body apart. He knew that he had embarrassed himself this time.
Initially, he thought that dealing with Mu Chen, who was a Fifth Grade Sovereign, would be simple. But the truth had let him understand that not only could he not deal with Mu Chen, but he was also even in such a pathetic state because of it.
"This bastard!"
The South Pavilion Lord was raging with anger in his heart, but he had not taken another step. Through the previous confrontation, he knew that it was basically impossible for him to defeat the thousand stone troops in his current state.
"If I was at my top condition, killing you would be like slaughtering chickens and dogs! Damn it!" The South Pavilion Lord clenched his teeth, but he could only ferociously look at Mu Chen and did not dare to enter the attack range of the stone troops.
The confrontation between the two was captured by the eyes of many peak experts. Especially the three Emperors, who were facing off with three of Divine Pavilion's Pavilion Lords. They were also shocked by this outcome.
Initially, when the Sleeping Emperor and the rest saw that the South Pavilion Master had targeted Mu Chen, they had all felt worried in their hearts. However, the result was beyond their expectations. Not only was Mu Chen not captured, he even managed to force the South Pavilion Lord into such a pathetic state.
"That brat has so many trump cards that cannot be predicted..." The three Emperors exchanged a glance, before they felt heavily relieved. Even with their characters, they couldn't help sighing in their hearts.
But Mu Chen clearly had no idea of their exclamations. Seeing that he managed to force the South Pavilion Lord back with the power of the stone troops, he had also felt inwardly relieved before clenching his hand and the lump of light that he had seized earlier had appeared in his hand.
