Chapter 731 - Demon Suppression
Mu Chen and Nine Nether were also looking at the incorporeal lightning python with grave and fearful expressions. Even Nine Nether felt dense danger coming from it.
“I’m afraid that the strength of this fellow isn’t any weaker than a Fifth Grade Sovereign. Fortunately, it just has an appearance and not any intelligence. So we still stand a chance.” Nine Nether said softly.
Mu Chen nodded his head. Although the incorporeal python looked so terrifying, there wasn’t any spirit in its eyes. It only had the innate viciousness. But even so, in terms of danger level, not even the Sect Master of the Demonic Lightning Sect, Qin Tiangang could be compared to it.
Huff.
He gently let out a breath as he suppressed the astonished emotions that he initially had. He had his fair share of seeing mysterious things born from lightning, as he had once witnessed in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Furthermore, it was even more terrifying than this incorporeal python before him. After all, it was something that even the Northern Sea Dragon, whose strength had reached the Ninth Grade Sovereign, had trouble dealing with.
Although the incorporeal lightning python was formed from the Nether Demon Heart Lightning and it was a grade higher than the lifeform in the Lightning Territory, their strengths weren’t comparable, due to many reasons. Otherwise, Mu Chen and Nine Nether would be running for their lives right now.
“We have to break its incorporeal form first before you can attempt to subdue it.” Nine Nether slowly clenched her teeth and continued, “I will go first, you watch out!”
This level of confrontation naturally required Nine Nether’s strength, since Mu Chen’s strength of a Second Grade Sovereign was negligible.
“Careful.” Mu Chen nodded his head and made no rebuttals as he might even become Nine Nether’s burden in the battle later.
Nine Nether gently nodded her head and no longer spoke. She tapped her feet and flew out with blazing purple flames bursting from her body. In an instant, the void in this area abruptly expanded due to the temperature.
Whoosh!
A pair of black wings unfolded behind Nine Nether as she clenched her fists. Feathers appeared in her hand and formed into a slim and long feather spear with purple flames surging on the spear.
Whoosh!
When Nine Nether used her Spiritual Energy, the incorporeal lightning python felt danger. It opened its mouth and locked onto Nine Nether with its eyes.
Nine Nether flapped the wings that were behind her. A swishing sound rang out and her figure had already mysteriously appeared on top of the incorporeal snake. The body of the spear trembled as overwhelming amounts of rays shot down. Every single ray had purple flames attached to it, causing it to be stunningly deadly.
Hiss!
The incorporeal snake abruptly raised its head and opened its hideous mouth. But what came from its mouth wasn’t the hissing sound of a snake, but the sharp ghostly howl of a thunderous roar!
The thunderous roar spread out. The spear rays dissipated away upon coming in contact with the thunderous roar.
Nine Nether’s figure lightly trembled as well. Clearly, the thunderous roar of the Nether Demon Heart Lightning had entered her body once again. But since she had the protection of the Undying Flames in her body, she was able to resist against it.
Boom!
A huge tail suddenly descended from the horizon. The speed was as swift as lightning as it was aimed at Nine Nether’s head.
Nine Nether immediately folded her wings before her, forming a shield.
Boom!
The snake tail heavily smashed against the wings and a huge impact came, followed by a burst of thunderous roars. Nine Nether’s figure was sent flying back. She had to flap her wings in order to stabilise herself.
Hiss!
The incorporeal lightning snake had clearly determined Nine Nether as an offender and immediately launched its violent attacks. Sharp thunderous roars endlessly came from the snake’s mouth and an endless wave of attacks was directed at Nine Nether.
In face of those endless attacks, Nine Nether had momentarily gone into defence and appeared to show little signs of being suppressed.
Outside the battle range, Mu Chen’s expression was a little grave upon seeing this scene. He never thought that the incorporeal lightning snake would be so powerful to the point that even Nine Nether was in a disadvantageous position at this moment.
“Have to deal with it swiftly. Otherwise, Nine Nether might not hold out if this drags on.” Light constantly flickered in Mu Chen’s eyes. The incorporeal lightning snake was formed from the Nether Demon Heart Lightning, and the lightning energy in this place was endless. So if the battle drags on, Nine Nether would definitely be the first to fall.
But right now, he could not easily act out in case he attracts the attention of the incorporeal lightning snake, which would then unleash its violent attacks at him, making the situation even more troublesome.
Mu Chen’s brows were locked tight as he approached the battle range, bit by bit, sensing the attacking range of the incorporeal lightning snake. A brief moment later, he appeared at a location in the void and took a step forth.
Hiss!
When he took a step forth, the ghostly howl of a thunderous roar rang out in the deepest part of his body once again. His body turned stiff in that instant and veins wriggled on his face, as if they were about to burst.
Blazing purple flames surged in Mu Chen’s eyes as the Undying Flames were activated and managed the defend against that thunderous roar. However, before Mu Chen could feel relieved, the thunderous roar resounded again.
It was because he had entered the attacking range of the incorporeal lightning snake and thus, he was affected by it.
Mu Chen shut his eyes, he needed to look for a method to deal with the Nether Demon Heart Lightning. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be of any help to Nine Nether.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Lightning God’s Physique!
His body turned dazzling and electrified. But he quickly realised that the Lightning God’s Physique had no defensive effect towards the attacks of the Nether Demon Heart Lightning. Shortly after, he used the Lightning Controlling Art, but the effect of it wasn’t great. Because the Nether Demon Heart Lightning clearly wasn’t something that the Demonic Earth Lightning could be compared to. Even with his Lightning Controlling Art, that violent lightning energy wasn’t something he could control.
All sorts of methods were executed by Mu Chen but the effect was very minimal. Along with the battle between Nine Nether and the incorporeal lightning snake becoming more intense, the repercussion that he suffered got stronger as well.
Mu Chen sat in the void as his face swiftly turned pale. The lightning roar that was getting more intense in his body was a little hard for him to bear.
“No, I can’t give up!” Mu Chen tightly clenched his teeth. Nine Nether was engaged in a bitter battle, and if he were to give up so easily, he would be letting her down.
Mu Chen inhaled a mouthful of air as he circulated his Spiritual Energy, activating the Undying Flames to defend with his gaze violently flickering.
The incorporeal lightning snake was very powerful. Judging from the current situation between it and Nine Nether, the success rate of shattering its form was too low.
Since they couldn’t break its form, then there was only one other method to deal with it.
That would be sealing it.
Seal?
An idea moved in Mu Chen’s mind. Speaking about sealing, the Immortal Page within his body was the best choice. After all, it was something useful to even someone so powerful like Mandala.
As his trail of thoughts processed here, there wasn’t the slightest hesitation in Mu Chen as both of his hands formed together and swiftly made a mysterious seal.
Buzz.
A smear of dark light abruptly burst out from the vast Spiritual Energy ocean in his Sovereign Sea. Space was distorted as it appeared directly before Mu Chen and he abruptly tapped his fingertip over it.
Dark purple light instantly burst out from the Immortal Page. As the light rose, a beautiful and bewitching Mandala Flower slowly rose up.
Mu Chen inhaled a mouthful of air as the Spiritual Energy in his body poured out without any reservations, and was completely injected into the bewitching Mandala flower.
Buzz. Buzz.
Along with the injection of Mu Chen’s Spiritual Energy, the petals of the gorgeous Mandala Flower bloomed, bit by bit. On the flower petals, there were extremely mysterious and primitive runes.
Boom!
When Mu Chen activated the Mandala Flower, there were sharp ghostly howls of thunderous roars that rang out from the faraway battlefield. Compared to before, the thunderous roar was even more violent.
Boom! Boom!
Places that the thunderous roar travelled caused space to distort. The blazing flames that swept out from Nine Nether’s body were suppressed and forced back with her figure flying a few thousand feet away.
“Damn it!”
Nine Nether clenched her teeth and couldn’t help cursing. She never thought that the incorporeal lightning snake would be so powerful. In addition to the geographical advantage, it was like giving wings to a tiger.
Earlier, when they fought, Nine Nether understood that it was probably impossible for her to suppress the Nether Demon Heart Lightning by herself.
Looks like we can only temporarily retreat and look for a powerful helper in the Great Havenlaw Domain. Thoughts flashed in Nine Nether’s heart, but there weren’t any experts in the Great Havenlaw Domain who she had a good relationship with. Right now, the Sky Vulture Emperor had to overlook the war, so he probably had no time to help her.
“Nine Nether, retreat!”
Just when Nine Nether was getting anxious in her heart, a bark abruptly rang out from the rear. It was Mu Chen’s voice.
Hearing Mu Chen’s bark, Nine Nether was slightly stunned. Although she couldn’t understand why Mu Chen would charge into a battle of this level, she still flapped her wings and immediately retreated due to her trust in him.
When she retreated, a massive Mandala Flower streaked across the sky, along with a dark purple lustre as it floated above the incorporeal lightning snake.
The Mandala Flower slowly inclined, with the heart of the flower aimed at the incorporeal lightning snake.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
When the Mandala Flower was inclining down, the incorporeal lightning snake that had no emotions burst out a violent and shrieking thunderous roar towards the Mandala Flower.
Boom!
But when the thunderous roar came in contact with the dark purple lustre of the Mandala Flower, it was suddenly dissolved.
Whoosh!
The bewitching petals blossomed and a beam of dark purple light shot down, enveloping the incorporeal lightning snake. In the end, a bizarre energy burst out and the incorporeal lightning snake was slowly being dragged towards the Mandala Flower.
Boom! Boom!
At this instance, the incorporeal lightning snake felt danger and violently struggled. Ripples of terrifying Nether Demon Heart Lightning burst out, causing space to greatly distort from the quake.
As it struggled and resisted with rage, there were cracks that silently appeared from the dark purple light that shone down.
At the sight of this scene, Mu Chen’s face drastically changed. This was his last resort, if not even the Immortal Page could seal the Nether Demon Heart Lightning, then he could only give up on this.
But with the current strength of his Spiritual Energy, he could only activate the Mandala Flower to this level.
“Damn it!”
Mu Chen cursed with his teeth clenched. But just when he was exhausting the limits of his power, a cooling hand was placed against his back as Nine Nether’s bright voice resounded, “Use my Spiritual Energy!”
Boom!
Along with her voice, Mu Chen’s body violently jolted as an extremely robust force of Spiritual Energy poured like an endless torrent into his body.
His limbs and bones were filled with Spiritual Energy!
