Mu! Chen!
Bibi Dong's expression froze, her entire body stiffening in place.
Golden dust appeared all around, quickly coalescing into a human figure. The facial features were unmistakably those of Mu Chen.
"Indestructible Golden Body!"
Murong Qiu Di exclaimed in surprise: "To think that in this low-level plane, someone has cultivated their physical body to the Indestructible Golden Body realm, second only to the Sacred Body."
"Indestructible Golden Body!"
The man who had killed Mu Chen muttered to himself. Then, remembering his own identity as a favored son of heaven from the Primordial Plane, he realized that even using his profound laws, he still couldn't kill a native he looked down upon.
The man clenched his fists tightly at this thought.
"Come at me again," Mu Chen taunted, looking mockingly at the blue-haired, blue-eyed man.
"You..."
The blue-haired, blue-eyed man gritted his teeth in anger. His tightly clenched hands wanted to wave the fan again, but he was stopped by Murong Qiu Di.
Murong Qiu Di stood in front of the blue-haired, blue-eyed man, facing Mu Chen, and said: "Young man, your cultivation journey has not been easy. But don't think there's no sky beyond the sky, no one beyond people. Don't assume you're invincible just because you have the Indestructible Golden Body!"
The strength of the physical body, from low to high, is classified as Mortal Flesh Body, Copper Wall Iron Wall, Fearless Silver Body, Indestructible Golden Body, Peerless Saint Body, and Supreme Dao Body. For someone of Mu Chen's age to achieve the Indestructible Golden Body would be extremely rare even in the Primordial Plane.
"Whether I'm invincible or not, I don't know. But today, if you want to touch Ruo Lin, you'll have to step over my corpse," Mu Chen said with unwavering determination.
"Mu Chen." Ruo Lin looked at Mu Chen's back with deep emotion.
"Young man, since you're so arrogant, let me teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!" Murong Qiu Di raised his hand, causing the surrounding space to violently shake. Energy rapidly gathered in front of him.
Murong Qiu Di's arm fell, and a blue sword light shot towards Mu Chen. The attack seemed plain and unadorned, but the energy it contained caused the space within hundreds of meters to collapse. Not only was its attacking power formidable, but its speed was also far beyond what the blue-haired, blue-eyed man could achieve.
So strong!
This was Mu Chen's assessment of Murong Qiu Di.
Faced with such a terrifying attack, Mu Chen didn't retreat. A blue light surged from his body, and surging waves swept out.
The Highest Excellence Is Like Water
Faced with Murong Qiu Di's attack, Mu Chen once again used the water-attribute profound law he had mastered.
"This old man's energy attribute is water. For you to use water-attribute profound law against me, how interesting indeed." Murong Qiu Di's tone was extremely flippant, his eyes full of disdain.
Whoosh
As Murong Qiu Di's arm fell, the sword light split Mu Chen's ocean wave profound law in half as if cutting through a curtain.
Will of Fire
The energy surging from Mu Chen's body suddenly changed.
The originally blue water-attribute energy transformed into red fire-attribute energy. The surging fire-attribute energy formed an energy shield, protecting Mu Chen's body inside.
"Oh? You've actually comprehended the profound laws of two energy attributes."
Murong Qiu Di let out a rare sound of surprise.
For someone of Mu Chen's age, even comprehending one profound law would be considered a genius in the Primordial Plane. Yet Mu Chen had comprehended the profound laws of two different energy attributes. Such talent could be called a genius among geniuses.
Of course, Murong Qiu Di never dreamed that Mu Chen had an Enlightenment Futon, which could greatly accelerate a cultivator's speed of enlightenment.
Bang
The blue water-attribute sword blade fell on Mu Chen's fire-attribute energy barrier. One could see flames on the energy barrier constantly being extinguished, while new flames were continuously being born. As old flames were doused, new flames emerged. The energy from the extinguished flames seemed to transform into oil, fueling the intensity of the newborn flames.
Not only did Murong Qiu Di's attack fail to break through Mu Chen's protective energy barrier in one strike, but Mu Chen's protective energy fire barrier also burned even more fiercely.
"At your age, no one has ever been able to withstand even half of this old man's attack. Young man, what's your name?" Murong Qiu Di asked.
"Mu Chen," Mu Chen answered.
"Mu Chen, listen to this old man's advice. I must take the young lady back. Step aside, and I'll spare your life," Murong Qiu Di persuaded.
"Impossible," Mu Chen said with a resolute tone. "If you want to take Ruo Lin away, you'll have to step over my corpse."
"Fine, since you insist on this, this old man will break his vow not to kill today." As Murong Qiu Di finished speaking, he merely moved his finger slightly, and the cracks in the collapsing space around them suddenly expanded from five hundred meters to one hundred meters.
Whoosh
The suddenly increased attack power broke through Mu Chen's protective energy fire barrier in one strike. Mu Chen's body was sliced in two by the blue sword blade. The violent energy pulverized his flesh into dust.
Mu Chen was dead!
Hum
Although Mu Chen had died once again, his body turned into golden dust and began to rapidly converge towards a single point once more.
"Wanting to resurrect? Impossible now."
Murong Qiu Di formed hand seals and said, "Chang Jun, watch carefully. To kill a body cultivator who possesses the Indestructible Golden Body, you only need to move these dust particles to different locations or seal them before the body can reconstitute itself, preventing it from coming back together."
As the old man spoke, he had already begun forming a hand seal. Strange symbols appeared before him, emitting an energy aura that indeed prevented the golden dust from coalescing.
Thud
With a thought from Bibi Dong, eighteen nine-colored wings appeared behind her back. Energy surged from her body, and the wings behind her seemed to stretch forward before suddenly flapping backward, creating an energy wave that formed countless dense nine-colored feathers, shooting towards Murong Qiu Di like a torrential rain.
"Hmm?"
Murong Qiu Di glanced at Bibi Dong, and a blue energy wall materialized beside him, intercepting all of the nine-colored feathers without missing a single one.
Exploding Flame Sword
Gale Sword
Xue Ni, with her fire-attribute Dou Qi, and Xiao Yu, with her wind-attribute Dou Qi, each unleashed their battle skills against Murong Qiu Di. They naturally knew they were no match for Murong Qiu Di; they had only one purpose: to prevent Murong Qiu Di from completing his hand seal, allowing Mu Chen's body dust to coalesce and regenerate.
Thud
Thud
Murong Qiu Di merely cast a glance, and a terrifying wave of energy not only shattered the attacks from Xiao Yu, Xue Ni, and Bibi Dong but also sent them flying backward, each with blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.
Murong Qiu Di had shown mercy. With his strength as a super-powerful being of the Primordial Plane, he could have easily made Xiao Yu, Xue Ni, and Bibi Dong's souls scatter with just a thought.
"Stop!"
As Mu Chen was unable to regenerate, Ruo Lin's voice rang out.
Murong Qiu Di paused his actions and turned his gaze towards Ruo Lin.
Ruo Lin stepped through the air, walking to Murong Qiu Di's side, and said, "I can go with you, but on the condition that you do not harm any of them."
