Bang!

The North Region Domain was bustling with people, and suddenly, violent spiritual energy shot up into the sky. More than a dozen people flew backwards in the sky, spewing blood, before landing on the ground.

“This is the eighth obstruction.” Mu Chen looked flatly at the wretched-looking people. From the time they had entered the North Region Domain until now, this was the eighth obstruction that had tried to stop them from entering.

The top powers had great strength, and there were Complete Earthly Sovereigns in every obstruction. However, no matter how powerful their attacks were, they were unable to get past Long Xiang, Mandela, Ling Xi, and Jiang Long’s defenses.

For the rest of the top powers from the Mu Estate, other than Liu Tiandao and the other Upper Earthly Sovereigns, the rest were not of much help. They were there to make their team look vigorous and more impressive.

As for Mu Chen, he had not exchanged blows with anyone yet. Apparently, his team was still able to handle the obstructions and did not require him to deal with them personally.

“These people are irritating!” Mandela said coldly as she became a little annoyed with the obstructions.

“This is just a wheeling fighting technique. They intend to use this method to wear us out. Once our momentum is slowed, the forces lying in wait will jump on us,” Ling Xi said softly.

“Let all of them come at once, and we shall see who wins,” Long Xiang said with a grin. Spiritual light surged around him as the shadows of the dragon and elephant appeared occasionally. They exuded horrifying power that shook the space.

Jiang Long folded his arms and looked arrogant. He did not think much of the top powers. After all, the opponents that he had taken on back then were all God Grade Heavenly Sovereigns. Although that was due to the strong combat force of the Mystery Dragon Army, his standard had gone up.

“We should be getting deeper into the North Region Domain now. Those guys are frightened by us.” Mu Chen smiled faintly. He sensed that the hindrances had lessened. Apparently, after eight unsuccessful obstructions, those people had started to lose heart.

“Let’s go straight into the deepest part of the Domain.” Mu Chen smiled and then moved on with his hands behind his back. He moved at a steady pace and treated the top powers from the other forces as though they were invisible.

It was Mu Chen’s nonchalant behavior that had caused the top powers from the different forces to become afraid. They no longer dared to behave recklessly. After the fights that had taken place, they already knew that although the Mu Estate’s overall strength was nothing to boast about, their top powers were mighty.

All four Complete Earthly Sovereigns were powerful, and they were considered the cream of the crop among the Complete Earthly Sovereigns. They estimated that they would need at least eight Complete Earthly Sovereigns to strike at the same time in order to stop the Mu Estate’s Four Guardian Warriors. Moreover… there was still the Estate Master himself, who was unfathomable.

Although Mu Chen was just a Half Step to Complete Earthly Sovereign on a superficial level, the people who were present were not dunces. They had heard that the mysterious young Estate Master had easily defeated the three elders from the Purple Cloud Sect and had demoted them from Complete Earthly Sovereigns to Lower Earthly Sovereigns…

His means were unique.

“The Mu Estate indeed possesses some skills and abilities…”

“No wonder they dare to contend for the position of North Region Overlord. However, their greatest obstacle is not these people who are before them, but the three overlords who are holding the fort deep inside the North Region Domain…”

“That is right. The three of them are near to the Heavenly Sovereign level, and their strength is way beyond those who are at the Complete Earthly Sovereign level. They might have even considered the fight here as child’s play.”

“What a pity. The Mu Estate will likely be defeated.”

“…”

Many top forces looked at the top powers from the Mu Estate that had barged into the North Region Domain and whispered among themselves. Although the Mu Estate had fended off the eight rounds of interdiction, no one thought that they could deal with the three overlords. This was because the three overlords had a very strong base in the North Region.

Swoosh!

The men from the Mu Estate flew at a low altitude and moderate speed in the North Region Domain. Wherever they went, the people who were supposed to block their way quickly retreated when they saw them.

The power that the Mu Estate had displayed earlier made them realize the disparity in their strength. If they acted recklessly, they would probably end up being killed like those people who had attacked the Mu Estate earlier.

With no one to stop them along the rest of their way, the top powers from the Mu Estate finally arrived deep within the North Region Domain. Mu Chen felt that when they reached this area, the number of forces had lessened, but they were mightier than those whom they had met earlier.

Apparently, those forces who were able to have a presence in this place were well-known in the North Region, and they were naturally more powerful. However, Mu Chen remained expressionless in the face of the strong forces that were before him. He moved on steadily with his men and shot straight towards the heart of the North Region Domain like a sword.

Surprisingly, the forces there did not stop them, either. They simply let them pass through. When Mandela saw it, she was not overjoyed but instead, she furrowed her brows. She could tell from the expressions of the top powers from the other forces that they were mocking them. They seemed to be telling them that the best was yet to be.

Mandela looked at Mu Chen, but he remained unaffected by the people. He moved on with his hands behind his back. Mandela did not say a word and quickly caught up with him.

After moving on for some time, the top powers from the other forces who were standing in front of them moved away, and Mu Chen and his men saw an open space. Nine people stood in the open space with their hands tucked behind their backs, and they were looking coldly at Mu Chen and his men.

Strong spiritual energy fluctuations surrounded these nine people, and they caused the space to shake. The nine of them were Complete Earthly Sovereigns, and they were all at the peak! It was impressive to see such a powerful array in this place.

Mandela, Ling Xi, Long Xiang, and Jiang Long looked at the nine people, and their gazes froze. They started to turn grave as they noticed the oppression these nine people exuded.

“They are the masters from the Purple Cloud Sect, Thunder Mountain, and the Golden Eagle Mansion. It seems to me that they are joining forces to stop us,” Mandela said in a low voice.

Those top powers who had attacked them earlier were from the forces that had submitted themselves to the three overlords. The nine people who were before them were the true masters of the three forces.

Mu Chen looked around and noticed that among the nine, three of them had purple armbands, another three had gray armbands, and the last three people had golden armbands. Apparently, they were from the forces of the three overlords.

“The strength of these people is basically second only to the leaders of the three forces,” Mandela said with a grave look.

Mu Chen simply nodded and looked indifferent.

“You are just a tiny Mu Estate, and you dare to have the desire to rule the North Region. You are digging your own grave!” The nine Complete Earthly Sovereigns shouted coldly when they saw that Mu Chen and his men had stepped into the region.

“Get out of the North Region Domain and hand over the Ancient Celestial Palace. If you do not, tomorrow your Mu Estate will be gone from the North Region!” Their voices were thunderous and resounded in the area. Several forces looked in their direction, and when they saw the nine people who had stopped the Mu Estate, they were shocked. They recognized these people. The strength of these nine people was second only to the three overlords… From the looks of things, the Mu Estate’s journey was about to end.

“Audacious!” Long Xiang gave a petrifying smile, and he looked fiercely at the nine people. The cries of the dragon and elephant surrounded him and resounded in the area. Long Xiang’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

Spiritual seals shimmered around Ling Xi’s hands. Mandela clenched her fists, and a black thorny whip appeared in her hand. Strong spiritual energy fluctuations rose from Jiang Long’s body. Apparently, all of them were ready to fight.

However, just as they were about to spring into action, Mu Chen, who was standing in front of them, gently waved his hand and said, “Let me do it.”

The nine people’s strength was on par with Mandela’s and the rest. On top of that, they outnumbered them, thus Mandela and the rest would not be able to have any advantage over them. Moreover, after they had been stopped along the way, Mu Chen’s killing intent had been heightened. The three forces seemed determined to destroy the Mu Estate. In that case, Mu Chen did not have to show them any mercy.

Mu Chen’s face was calm and emotionless. All eyes were on him, and he slowly stepped out toward the nine people who were exuding majestic spiritual energy fluctuations.

“Presumptuous!” When the nine Complete Earthly Sovereigns, whose strength was at its peak, saw Mu Chen walking toward them alone, cold light flashed in their eyes. They sneered. “Get out of this place in three seconds. Otherwise, you shall be buried here!”

However, Mu Chen continued to move on as though he had not heard them.

“You are digging your own grave!” When the nine Complete Earthly Sovereigns saw that Mu Chen had disregarded them, they were fuming with anger.

“Since you wish to meet your maker, we shall grant you your wish!” two Complete Earthly Sovereigns shouted angrily as they could no longer take it lying down. They shot out suddenly toward Mu Chen, carrying with them vast majestic spiritual energy.

Boom!

Two majestic Spiritual Energy Fist Rays shot out from their fists and blasted onto Mu Chen’s body. The ground shook, and the space twisted, but Mu Chen remained unmoving where he was. Spiritual light glittered on his body, and it was apparent that the attacks from the two Complete Earthly Sovereigns had not hurt Mu Chen at all.

The looks on the faces of the two Complete Earthly Sovereigns suddenly changed. As they were still in that state, Mu Chen suddenly appeared in front of them, and the Holy Pagoda in his dark eyes shined out brightly.

Mu Chen looked apathetic. He stretched out his palms and gently threw out a blow. A palm print pierced through the space and gently hit one of the Complete Earthly Sovereigns on his head, whereas the other palm hit gently on the other Complete Earthly Sovereign’s chest. The two wind blasts from the blows looked light and gentle as Mu Chen brushed past the two Complete Earthly Sovereigns.

Bang! Bang!

The head of one of the Complete Earthly Sovereigns exploded, and his brain and blood scattered all over. The other Complete Earthly Sovereign’s chest collapsed, and his flesh and blood burst out from his back.

There was silence.

The North Region Domain that had been bustling with noise, suddenly quietened down. The top powers who were around widened their eyes, and they were filled with shock. No one had expected two Complete Earthly Sovereigns to die at Mu Chen’s hands, even before the first round was over. Mu Chen’s attack was decisive and ruthless, and this caused everyone who was present to shiver.

At this moment, all eyes were on Mu Chen, who looked calm. He looked as though he had just killed two houseflies. It was at this instant that they realized that this youth was deep and unfathomable… His power had way surpassed the level of a Complete Earthly Sovereign.

Mu Chen lifted up his head and looked flatly at the seven Complete Earthly Sovereigns, who were still in shock. His voice resounded in the area, causing everyone to shiver, “All of you, take me on together.”
