"If that's the case, I'll be taking this person back," said the divine king. He was decisive, immediately taking action to capture Mu Ku.
However, just when the divine king was about to take action, the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect suddenly said, "Pingtian, don't you think it's beneath you to take action against a Divine King as a Primordial realm expert?"
The divine king frowned when he heard that. He said emotionlessly, "Sang Tu, what do you mean by that? Do you want Jianchen to take on a Divine King as an Overgod? "
"It's rumored that although Jianchen hasn't attempted the Overgods' Plaque, he's so powerful that he can take on the supreme Overgods who rank first on the Overgods' Plaque. Moreover, not long ago, he had even defeated a Godking in the northern region. As a result, it'll be rather fair if Jianchen fights Mu Ku, "the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect said calmly. Then he looked at the divine king and continued, "Although Mu Ku is a Divine King, he's only an early Divine King, and he's not a divine king. As a result, if you take action, it'll be beneath you."
"Mu Ku!" The ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect looked at Mu Ku. He gave off an unquestionable sense of dignity.
"Ancestor!" Elder Mu Ku bowed politely.
"Mu Ku, in the battle between the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian and the Heavenly Demon Religion, your disciples disregarded the bigger picture and attacked people from their alliance regardless of the situation. As their master, you don't restrain your disciples properly, allowing them to commit such a great mistake. You can't just resign. You need to give Jianchen an explanation for this," said the ancestor.
"Yes, ancestor!" Mu Ku replied politely. He dared not disobey at all.
"Jianchen, the explanation I'll give you is for you to fight Mu Ku to the death. What do you think?" The ancestor said to Jianchen.
Jianchen stood up and stared at the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect with shining eyes.
Not only was there no fear on his face, but there was even some sharpness instead. He said coldly, "Since that's the case, let me see just how powerful your Earth Spirit sect's Divine King is."
Jianchen glared fiercely at Elder Mu Ku. A powerful sword intent radiated from his body as he coldly said, "Mu Ku, come out and fight!"
Sharpness filled elder Mu's eyes as well. He said, "Old Man would also like to see the supreme prodigy who is rumored to be ranked first on the Overgods' Plaque. I want to see if he's really as powerful as the rumors say, where he can defeat the Divine King as an Overgod."
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Mu Ku walked out of the hall.
"Mu Ku, you can only lose this battle. You can't win!" However, at this moment, the ancestor's voice rang out in Mu Ku's head secretly.
The voice came from an Infinite Prime who had reached the Divine King many years ago. Even the divine king was unable to hear what it said, let alone the other Divine King elders.
Therefore, Mu Ku was the only one who could clearly hear the voice transmission.
Elder Mu Ku's body immediately stiffened. His expression rapidly changed a few times before it returned to normal. He felt a wave of sadness in his heart.
There were many rings of various sizes in the Earth Spirit sect. They were specially for the disciples to spar with. At this moment, Jianchen and elder Mu Ku faced one another on the largest ring. The entire ring was enveloped by a barrier personally cast down by the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect.
The barrier was so powerful that it was difficult for the Divine King to get through. It could easily endure the shockwaves from the battle inside.
Basically all the elders of the Earth Spirit sect had gathered around the ring. Even the elders who were in seclusion emerged and came to watch the battle.
If it were a battle between a Divine King and a Divine King, the elders would not have paid so much attention to it. However, a battle between a supreme Overgod who could contend for first place on the Overgods' Plaque and a Divine King was enough to attract the attention of many Divine Kings. As a matter of fact, even Primordial realm experts would pay some attention.
Mu Ku's face was extremely sunken as he stood on the stage. The message from the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect still echoed in his head. A single sentence from the ancestor had directly ended his life, filling him with despair.
"I never would have thought. I really never would have thought that not only did I fail to kill Jianchen when I ordered my disciples to attack Jianchen back then, but I ended up doomed instead. I was mercilessly abandoned by the sect …"
"Our disciples were humiliated. Isn't our Earth Spirit sect losing face? Old Man's actions were completely for the sake of saving the Earth Spirit sect's face. He didn't want others to use the name of the Earth Spirit sect to make a name for themselves. However, he ended up sending himself to his grave in the end …"
Elder Mu Ku sighed inside. At this moment, his heart was filled with indescribable bitterness.
But soon after, his gaze became extremely cold. A powerful pressure that belonged to the Divine King realm radiated from his body. The laws turned into divine chains that revolved around him as he stared at Jianchen with shining eyes. He thought, "Old Man is a Divine King realm expert. Even if I can't win this battle, I can't let Jianchen win so easily. Old Man will still use his full strength in this battle."
Elder Mu Ku moved. He wielded a wooden staff as he charged at Jianchen with surging battle intent. The terrifying cultivation of the Divine King realm surged out from his body, condensing on the wooden staff in his hand in a single instance. With the laws on the level of the Divine King, he stabbed it towards Jianchen with overwhelming force.
Elder Mu Ku did not hold back at all. He used his full strength, causing the strike to be extraordinarily powerful. When he struck out with the wooden staff, the terrifying energy within it actually affected the space in the ring, causing it to distort.
Outside the ring, the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect and the divine king both frowned slightly.
The two of them could naturally tell that Mu Ku was using his full strength. They had no idea whether Jianchen could really deal with Mu Ku when he was so powerful.
Although it was rumored that Jianchen had defeated a Divine King in the northern region, it was only a rumor in the end. In reality, they had no idea whether the rumor was exaggerated or whether the Divine King was injured or not.
As for being able to contend with the supreme Overgod who ranked first on the Overgods' Plaque, that was only used to describe Jianchen's strength. Jianchen had not even attempted the Overgods' Plaque after all. Just what was his ranking on the Overgods' Plaque with his true strength? Did he really have the right to contend with the person ranked first? None of this had been decided yet.
"Does this Mu Ku want to go against me?" The Earth Spirit sect's ancestor's heart sank slightly. Specks of cold light flickered in his deep, ink-black eyes.
Jianchen's face did not change at all as he faced elder Mu Ku's aggressive strike. He wielded the Startling Rainbow sword and protected himself with light as he stabbed out with composure.
The strike was simple and plain, without any extravagance at all. However, it was this simple strike that possessed extremely deep mysteries of the Laws of the Sword. It was also compatible with the Laws of the Sword. Coupled with the powerful and destructive Chaotic Force, the might of Jianchen's strike had completely surpassed the level of Overgods. It had barely reached the level of the Divine King.
