Chapter 1363: The Three Mighty Overlords

The heaven and earth turned silent at the appearance of the three figures. All the masters lowered their gazes slightly, and shades of dread colored their faces. That was because the three figures in the sky were currently the most powerful masters in the North Region and also the leaders of the three mighty overlord forces.

Sage Zi Yun, Reverend Thunder, and Golden Eagle King—these three names were quite prominent, even in the whole Tianluo Continent, not to mention in the North Region where they were the overlords. No one was brave enough to go against their orders.

Mu Chen stared at the three figures in midair. The one on the left was a middle-aged man wearing a white robe that floated in the wind. He looked sophisticated, but his purple eyes belied hints of demonic aura that none dared to trivialize in the slightest.

In the middle stood a bald man with large ears. He wore a gray robe with exceptionally large sleeves that seemed to hold something within that vibrated faintly into space. A friendly smile adorned his round face, but only those who had extraordinary sense would be able to detect a cold indifference hidden in the depths of his seemingly kind eyes.

The third figure was a man clad in a golden robe. He had a hooked nose, and his expression was cold. His eyes shined with a pale gold that was as sharp as a blade. Just his stare alone could make one feel as if their heart had been pierced by 10,000 arrows, and one would avoid looking straight into his eyes.

Their bodies exuded the same powerful spiritual fluctuation, causing the space to vibrate. The existing spiritual power seething between heaven and earth quietly calmed down like a docile sheep once it approached their bodies.

Their presence alone was as if blended with heaven and earth, and it gave off a miraculous vibe of unity between heaven and man. One would feel attacking them was equivalent to attacking this piece of heaven and earth.

This extraordinary feeling locked Mu Chen’s eyes into a gaze. These three overlords had already started reaching the level of Heavenly Sovereign. Although they could be considered Complete Earthly Sovereigns as well, comparing them to any ordinary Complete Earthly Sovereign was like comparing a firefly to the moon. Although Mu Chen could easily surpass those previous Complete Earthly Sovereigns, these three people in front of his eyes could easily do it, too.

Mandela, Ling Xi, and the rest also swept in right next to Mu Chen, their gazes focused on the three figures with vigilance and caution. “These three really deserve to be called the overlords of the Northern Region. They’re almost on par with the four hall masters in the Ancient Celestial Palace,” Mandela said in a quiet tone. Her delicate little face was solemn.

As soon as Mu Chen heard her, he trembled a little and said with surprise, “The four hall masters in the Ancient Celestial Palace have also reached Heavenly Sovereign?” He had always assumed that those four hall masters had only achieved Complete Earthly Sovereign level.

Mandela rolled her eyes at him and continued, “Well, they were trained fully by the Heavenly Emperor, after all. If it wasn’t for the Extraterritorial Races invading the Ancient Celestial Palace such a short time after it was founded, all four of them could have set foot into the Heavenly Sovereign level.”

It was then that Mu Chen understood and nodded. In fact, it was only because he could easily defeat a Complete Earthly Sovereign that he realized that the overall strength of the Ancient Celestial Palace was slightly deformed. That was because they had a Heavenly Emperor with the capability of reaching Divine Heavenly Sovereign, but the combat power of his underlings seemed much weaker.

If the four hall masters were just the usual finest Complete Earthly Sovereigns, then right now they might not even have the competence to guard the North Region. However if they had reached Heavenly Sovereign, then it was barely acceptable. Nevertheless, compared to the Heavenly Emperor at the top, the contrast between them was still seemingly a little too obvious.

Mandela, who seemed to know what was in Mu Chen’s mind, shook her head and said, “A Heavenly Sovereign, no matter if it was during the ancient times or now, is not something that can be casually created, because it represents a kind of foundation. Look at the Western Kingdom War Temple. Although the West Heaven War Emperor is a top-notch God Grade Heavenly Sovereign, is there even a second Heavenly Sovereign under his command?”

Mu Chen nodded, absorbed in his thoughts. A Heavenly Sovereign meant a kind of foundation. Today in the Great Thousand World, there were many superior forces, however, among them there were only one or two Heavenly Sovereigns. But looking at the Budur Ancient Clan that had existed for a long time, they had a fairly large number of Heavenly Sovereigns. On a certain level of understanding, this was the foundation of an ancient nation.

“Hence, these three men in front of us are also very powerful characters. If they had been in the Ancient Celestial Palace in the past, they would also have had the capability to fight for the hall master’s position,” explained Mandela casually, but a hint of worry appeared in her eyes. Even though Mu Chen had been impressive previously when he was on a killing spree, that was just foreplay. To qualify oneself as North Region Overlord, then the Mu Estate would have to take it from the hands of these three elder overlords in front of them. And if they lost, those that stood today would perhaps perish under the fury of these three overlords.

Mu Chen nodded slightly. He, too, felt the dangerous atmosphere around the three men standing in front of him. It was obvious that for the Mu Estate to achieve their aim today, a vehement battle would be unavoidable.

As Mu Chen gazed at Sage Zi Yun, Reverend Thunder, and Golden Eagle King, the three of them had also locked their sights on him. Beneath those eyes was a faintly discernible urge to kill.

Previously, the nine top-notch Complete Sovereigns were also their finest subordinates. Mu Chen had mercilessly killed half of them, and this loss would have been heartbreaking if Mu Chen had been in their shoes. It was undeniable that they had previously underestimated Mu Chen’s tactics and also his ruthlessness.

Sage Zi Yun had the darkest expression. He stared at Mu Chen coldly and spoke solemnly, “Well, well, isn’t it great? It has been many years since I, Zi Yun Zhong, have encountered such big losses. You are really out of the ordinary.”

Within the Purple Cloud Sect, there were six Complete Sovereigns, of which half had been previously sealed by Mu Chen and became Lower Earthly Sovereigns. Now among the three strongest Complete Sovereigns, two of them had died at Mu Chen’s hands, and the remaining one had been badly injured. Mu Chen had nearly completely wiped out the Purple Cloud Sect’s entire upper echelon.

Looking at Sage Zi Yun’s cold stare, Mu Chen just smiled faintly and said, “Your people from the Purple Cloud Sect came to my Mu Estate and created havoc. Any consequences arising from it were well deserved.”

Sage Zi Yun glared and added sadistically, “My Purple Cloud Sect could just destroy your small Mu Estate with a flip of the hand. How dare you show off in front of me?”

Mu Chen shook his head and said, “It’s such a shame, but your Purple Cloud Sect is the one totally wiped out right now.” In the face of Sage Zi Yun’s murderous intentions, Mu Chen showed no signs of retreat but instead faced them head-on. He knew that if he backed down at any time now, it would only give his opponent chances to take it further and gradually defeat them.

In the fields of the North Region, silence remained. All of the many powerful forces that stood around to witness the brawl between Mu Chen and Sage Zi Yun kept quiet out of fear. They knew that both of them were not someone easily dealt with, and now that they were clashing, an inevitably bad ending would ensue.

“Haha!” Hearing what Mu Chen said, Sage Zi Yun could only laugh in anger. The strong murderous intention was heard in his laughter and suddenly made the place feel cold.

“You need not worry. From today onwards I will take everything into my own hands, and I’ll kill everyone from your Mu Estate!” Sage Zi Yun glared at Mu Chen with his deadly purple eyes as his lips curled into a cruel, crooked smile. “The North Territory will also spill a sea of blood under the flames of my rage, and by that time you will be condemned, because all this disaster was caused by your ignorance and stupidity!”

Feeling the chilling murderous intention from Sage Zi Yun, Mu Chen’s expression did not waver as he gently spoke, “What a noisy creature. If what you say is true, you would have dominated the Tianluo Continent long ago.”

The powerful ones around them found their mouths agape in fear. They obviously did not expect this young Estate Master from the Mu Estate to have such an attitude in addition to being callous. This was going to quickly drive Sage Zi Yun crazy.

They covertly glanced at Sage Zi Yun and saw the dreadful look in his eyes that was ready to burst out at any time. The surrounding space vibrated with his raging expressions, then split into cracks.

Whoosh!

However, as the rage and dread in his heart reached its peak, his expressions then gradually calmed down. However, that calmness was more like the calm before a storm. He no longer looked at Mu Chen, turned his head to face Reverend Thunder and Golden Eagle King, and said calmly, “I will crush this little creature’s body inch by inch as he watches me. What do you both have in mind?”

Sage Zi Yun, Reverend Thunder, and Golden Eagle King were, in fact, three enemies. However, for Mu Chen’s appearance as a challenger today, it was evident that they were willing to temporarily let go of their grudges and were only planning to fight each other after they killed off this audacious challenger.

Reverend Thunder looked at Golden Eagle King, then smiled wryly and said, “Then we will let you, Sage Zi Yun, go ahead and give this ignorant lad a taste of your power first.”

At the moment, Sage Zi Yun’s killing intention had already peaked. The Estate Master from the Mu Estate, although younger, was also obviously equipped with some tricks. If they could let Sage Zi Yun test him out first, then that would be the best choice. And if Mu Chen showed a state of defeat, then they could take the opportunity to kill him off and share the Mu Estate’s lands. By hook or by crook, after today, the Mu Estate would no longer exist in the North Region.

As soon as Sage Zi Yun heard those words, he just calmly nodded. Although Mu Chen acted a little strangely, Sage Zi Yun did not feel overly cautious. What he feared more was that his two enemies would take the opportunity to attack him. But looking at the situation, it was clear that they, too, wanted to get rid of the Mu Estate. Therefore, he turned his head, and with a strange, purple light sparkling in his purple eyes, stared at Mu Chen as he said, “In this case, are you prepared to die?”
