The Great Ruler

Chapter 910 - Devil-Devouring Art

The violent Battle Will wreaked havoc like a storm in this region, with the surrounding mountains trembling from the Battle Will. Large stones constantly fell, leaving the ground below filled with holes.

Two silhouettes stood on the horizon as they confronted one another. Behind the two of them, there were two massive oceans of Battle Will that were emanating powerful oppressions that any Sixth Grade Sovereign would be fearful of.

The other forces all had grave expressions as they looked at the confrontation in the horizon. Such a confrontation between Battle Formation Masters was extremely rare in the Northern Region. After all, there was too little Battle Formation Masters in the Northern Region.

Although there were Battle Formation Masters in the Northern Region in the past, they had all left in the end, heading to realms that were larger than the Northern Region. That’s because, in those realms, they could obtain better resources.

Although the Northern Region was extremely large in the views of many, it was just a small portion of the Greatlaw Continent, one of the ten major continents in the Great Thousand World.

“That fellow actually became a Battle Formation Master!” In the direction of the Divine Pavilion, Fang Yi’s expression was dark as he looked at the surging Battle Will behind Mu Chen. Back then, when he met Mu Chen in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, the latter wasn’t even qualified by him to be viewed with great importance. Even at the very end, it was only because Mu Chen had the help of the daughter of the Flame Emperor, thus he was able to become the biggest benefitter in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven.

But he never expected that when they had met again, the person that he could belittle in the past could already confront him, and now that Mu Chen became a Battle Formation Master, Mu Chen could leave him in the dust with the power of Battle Will.

Zhantai Liuli looked at this scene with a calm expression. Although Mu Chen did not obtain the inheritance of the Sky Formation Emperor, he obtained the inheritance of the Nine Tribulation Battle Emperor, which was even more formidable. Even if the inheritance wasn’t complete, the defection of it being incomplete wouldn’t appear in a short period of time.

“That Mu Chen is indeed a talented young man. Looks like the battle between the two of them will be a ferocious battle between giants. But this is also good. One of the two will definitely be injured in this battle, which is pretty good news to our Divine Pavilion.” The Sky Dragon Lord was faintly watching this scene. He was naturally more than willing to see the confrontation between the Great Havenlaw Domain and the Netherworld Palace. Although they had grudges with the Great Havenlaw Domain, they weren’t that harmonious with the Netherworld Palace either.

“Let us see who will remain laughing till the end in this battle between Battle Formation Masters.”

...

“You have indeed become a Battle Formation Master...”

Lin Ming stood in the sky as he looked at Mu Chen with a cold gaze, before viciously laughing, “So be it. I wonder how much improvement there will be to my will after devouring the will of a Battle Formation Master!”

As he spoke, he stomped on the air, which caused space to undulate. Behind him, a boundless ocean of Battle Will roared and everyone could sense a powerful oppression swiftly spreading out from the surging ocean of Battle Will.

Tidal waves seemed to be rolling on the ocean of Battle Will. At the centre of it, a vortex was formed; and in it, a massive black skull could be seen slowly rising.

The black skull was filled with densely-packed runes. Its pitch-black pupils flickered. Looking from afar, it was like a demon that came from hell, emitting fluctuations that made others feel fearful.

When the black skull head appeared, every single force had a change in their expressions. They must have sensed the threat that was being given off by this black skull.

“That’s Lin Ming’s Spirit of Battle Will?” Some experts wore a grave expression, since they could naturally feel that the Battle Will Spirit formed my Lin Ming was several times stronger than the Battle Will Spirits of their troops.

This was the power of a Battle Formation Master. In their hands, a violent Battle Will could display such a terrifying power.

“Death War Beam!”

Lin Ming’s face had a vicious smile as he formed seals. The black skull head opened its mouth and a pitch-black beam of light that was roughly a hundred feet shot out. In the path of the beam, space had immediately shattered. It was silent, yet it was filled with terrifying destructive power.

When the Battle Will Spirit was formed, the might of it had increased more than a fold. The light beam looked simple, but the power was even more ferocious than the blade from before.

The beam of light swiftly expanded by Mu Chen’s eyes and he suddenly put his hands together.

Rumble!

In just a flash, the black beam of light had exploded before Mu Chen. As black beams of light swept out, it had devoured Mu Chen’s silhouette.

Space had also rippled and distorted from it.

Innumerable experts nervously watched this scene. Was Mu Chen struck by Lin Ming’s attack that was like a bolt of lightning?

Lin Ming squinted his eyes as he looked in the location that the black light was spreading out. In the next instant, he had suddenly narrowed his eyes. As a powerful gale swept past, the black lights immediately dissipated.

Behind the black beam of light, Mu Chen calmly stood with a huge palm of Battle Will, which was covered in runes, acting as a shield before him.

That powerful attack from Lin Ming earlier had clearly been resisted by this palm of Battle Will.

“Is that huge palm a Battle Will Spirit formed by the Battle Will of the five troops by Mu Chen? The number of runes on it seems pretty shocking.” Many experts watched this scene and felt slightly startled in their hearts.

Mu Chen’s black pupils fixed onto to far away Lin Ming with a flash of cold light in his eyes. The huge Battle Will Spirit palm, which was roughly a thousand feet, burst forth and appeared above Lin Ming, before it ruthlessly and heavily slammed down.

It was a simple palm without any fancy tricks. A myriad of runes flickered on the huge palm as the terrifying Battle Will swept out. It was like a colossal mountain that descended from the sky and the might of it could even shatter space.

Such an attack was something that even a Sixth Grade Sovereign would have to deal with at full force.

“Hmph!”

However, Lin Ming had coldly snorted at this attack as he stomped his feet. The black skull at his rear opened its vicious mouth, before emitting a sharp ear-piercing shriek.

Hum! Hum!

Black visible sound waves spread out and every single ripple contained a terrifying energy that violently exploded when the huge Battle Will palm descended. Under the explosions, the huge palm couldn’t descend any further.

Having his attack obstructed, Mu Chen’s gaze flickered and both of his hands swiftly joined together. Countless beams of Battle Will shot up from the ocean of Battle Will at his rear, before they whizzed through the horizon and enveloped Lin Ming and the troop behind him.

It was an extremely majestic attack.

“Did you think that I would be afraid of competing with you in a battle of Battle Will?” Facing such a massive attack from Mu Chen, Lin Ming showed no fear as he coldly sneered, before he suddenly waved his hand down. From the ocean of Battle Will that was behind him, waves of Battle Will swiftly swept up before turning into layers of waves that were myriads of feet that rolled through space and clashed with the beams of Battle Will that enveloped from every direction.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Up in the sky, the confrontation of the two terrifying forces of Battle Will split the massive horizon in half. In that point of collision, a crack, which was ten thousand feet long, was split open.

All the forces had startled expressions as they watched the violent confrontation. Even a pinnacle Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm expert would have a hard time reaching this level, which made some experts exclaim. In terms of cultivation, Mu Chen was only a Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, while Lin Ming was a Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm. If it was an ordinary time, it would be impossible for them to confront Sixth Grade Sovereigns. But right now, with the aid of Battle Will, even a Sixth Grade Sovereign would be fearful of them.

The profundities of Battle Will was truly worth exclaiming.

“Liuli, which of them do you think has a higher chance of winning?” In the direction of the Divine Pavilion, the Sky Dragon Lord looked at the sky that was covered with violent Battle Wills and asked towards Zhantai Liuli, who was beside him.

Although the Sky Dragon Lord was a Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm expert, there was nothing to fear in his eyes. But he wasn’t familiar with the profound energies of Battle Will. Therefore, it was impossible for him to see which of them, between Mu Chen or Lin Ming could gain the upper hand.

Zhantai Liuli briefly pondered, before speaking out, “Based on the amount of Battle Will, the Battle Will Spirit formed by Lin Ming has a total of 11,000 runes, while Mu Chen only has 10,500 runes. The difference between them is extremely small, so if it’s purely based on the battle between Battle Wills, it is hard for a winner to be determined. But the two of them aren’t simple figures, so they naturally have means still hidden in their sleeves. So it’ll depend on their hidden means to determine who will be the winner.”

When the Sky Dragon Lord heard her words, he gently nodded his head and continued to shift his gaze towards the confrontation up in the sky.

Rumble!

Under countless gazes of exclamations, the confrontation in the sky lasted for roughly a few minutes before it gradually retreated. Clearly, the two of them had realised that it was impossible for them to achieve victory with an attack of this degree.

“You have some means after all. But the more powerful you are, means that your will is more delicious. So today, I will definitely want your will...”

Lin Ming licked his lips with greed being revealed in his eyes. In the next moment, he let out a vicious smile. “But the warm-up is done. I’m already anxious to devour your will!”

Along with Lin Ming’s voice, his gaze had instantly turned cold and his hands changed the seals, forming into a bizarre seal.

When the seal was formed, a cold tone gradually came from his mouth.

“Devil-Devouring Art - Devil-Devouring Battle Seal!”
