Chapter 1552 - Third Ranker
That screen was both mysterious and ancient, bringing along an indescribable pressure. It was akin to the weight of the world.
At the Spirit Demon Continent, everyone from the Great Thousand World trembled. They knew what the Firmament Board represented.
That meant that aside from the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor, their Great Thousand World shall have another ranker, and it was a piece of good news for their Great Thousand World.
The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor were gratified at this scene, since Mu Chen finally appeared at the crucial moment. Furthermore, the morale of the Great Thousand World also rose.
“The Firmament Board?!” When the Firmament Board’s appearance expelled the endless darkness, the Heavenly Evil Monarch looked at the slender silhouette beneath the board.
“So your Great Thousand World has been trying to create another Ranker for the past five years!”
Narrowing his eyes, the Heavenly Evil Monarch mocked, “But this person’s strength might be pretty good, but he’s still lacking to leave his name behind on the Firmament Board.”
With the Heavenly Evil Monarch’s keen eyesight, he could naturally tell that Mu Chen’s cultivation might be in the Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign, but it wasn’t enough for him to leave his name on the Firmament Board.
Mu Chen naturally heard his sneer, but he raised his head and looked at the ancient Firmament Board with a blaze in his eyes.
He could finally fulfill the wish he made back then.
As he formed seals, radiance exploded and everyone could see an ancient figure that permeated with an immortal aura — the Primordial Immortal Body!
Under Mu Chen’s control, the Primordial Immortal Body took a step forth and merged into his body. At this moment, a radiance exploded from Mu Chen and his entire body seemed like a translucent gem as Spiritual Energy circulated, emanating an unimaginable pressure.
At this moment, even Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereigns like Qin Tian felt significant pressure from Mu Chen.
Under countless gazes, Mu Chen slowly stretched his hands out and made a stroke on the Firmament Board.
In that moment of contact, the entire world shook and a mysterious power was trying to obstruct him from making another stroke the Firmament Board.
“A little lacking.” The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor commented. Evidently, Mu Chen might be able to trigger the Firmament Board, but he was still somewhat lacking to leave his name.
The reason lied in his foundation. After all, it was already unbelievable for Mu Chen to achieve this, even if he managed to accept the Immortal Emperor’s inheritance.
“Looks like you hopes are extinguished now?” The Heavenly Evil Monarch smiled with his eyes narrowed.
A burst of laughter also exploded from the Fiend Clans as they struck the Great Thousand World’s morale.
However, the Flame Emperor, Martial Ancestor, and other pinnacle powerhouses weren’t affected, since they had already long predicted this, not to mention that Mu Chen wasn’t going to rely on his own abilities to leave his name on the Firmament Board.
There wasn’t any change to Mu Chen’s expression. He did not force his way after encountering an obstruction, but closed his eyes, which lasted for ten-odd breaths.
While everyone was feeling baffled, space suddenly tore apart behind Mu Chen and everyone could sense black and white silhouettes standing beside him.
The two silhouettes were dressed in black and white robes, respectively, and they looked the same as Mu Chen.
“We were late.” The black-robed Mu Chen smiled.
“You’re right on time.” Mu Chen smiled as he continued, “Let’s go.”
The two clones nodded their heads and their hands joined together. After that, a boundless spiritual radiance exploded behind them, as if they could form into a world of Spiritual Energy.
Within the world of Spiritual Energy, two ancient silhouettes slowly appeared.
One of the silhouettes seemed to be made of crystal, permeating with an endless radiance. In the path of the light, even space had become sturdy and was indestructible.
The other one seemed ethereal, but it was enveloped in boundless Spiritual Energy that made even the likes of Qin Tian feel tiny before it.
The Endless Radiance body and Great Spirit Sage Body!
Everyone looked at the two silhouettes with fire in their eyes. Those two were Primal Celestial Bodies, and they never expected that Mu Chen would really succeed in cultivating them.
That meant that Mu Chen possessed three Primal Celestial Bodies, this was unprecedented.
“He really succeeded.” The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor sighed. The Three Pures were truly profound, but that was Mu Chen’s fortune, and it meant that the Three Pures was suitable for him. Even they didn’t feel that they could do a better job than him.
The ridiculing smile on the Heavenly Evil Monarch’s face froze as he gave a deep look at Mu Chen. “I never expected that three Primal Celestial Bodies would actually be gathered on a single person.”
He managed to tell that the three Mu Chen’s were of one body, so it should be a profound cloning technique that could stand individually and cultivate a Primal Celestial Body each.
One must rely on their strength before the Firmament Board, and the three Mu Chens could naturally work together because they were considered as one.
That meant that it was no longer impossible for him to leave his name on the Firmament Board.
As the Heavenly Evil Monarch’s eyes flickered, he held himself back from making a move because with the appearance of the Firmament Board, the world’s energy was at its strongest. So if he made a move, he might suffer an attack from the Firmament Board instead.
Although he would make a move at the Firmament Board to control it, it wasn’t the proper time now.
Thus, he gradually calmed the demonic aura around him and coldly looked at Mu Chen.
At the same time, the Endless Radiance Body and Great Spirit Sage Body fused into Mu Chen’s clones and their Spiritual Energy grew to a terrifying degree.
“Allow the two of us to lend you a hand!” The two clones roared as they put their hands out with two boundless currents of Spiritual Energy exploding from their palms.
The two currents gathered towards Mu Chen’s finger and his finger had vaguely turned transparent.
With a grave expression, Mu Chen’s finger gradually tapped down.
As his finger tapped down, the mysterious obstruction appeared once again, but this time, Mu Chen’s eyes exploded with a sharp beam.
At that moment, ripples were spreading out on the Firmament Board that rolled across the entire Great Thousand World.
Everyone in the Great Thousand World could sense an ancient sound wave at this moment.
The mysterious obstruction only lasted briefly before it was penetrated. Mu Chen could sense it as his finger drew out cursive marks on the mysterious board.
Along with Mu Chen’s finger, everyone could sense a mysterious power gathering on the Firmament Board with strokes gradually being formed.
At the last stroke, a majestic power swept out and a single word, ‘Mu’, was engraved on the Firmament Board.
When he finished his last stroke, he briefly pondered and wanted to continue. However, he stopped, since he could sense that he still wasn’t strong enough.
“The Firmament Board is separated into the first name and last name. Only by completing the two, can one be considered to have left their full name behind.
“But trying to complete the second part is more difficult than the first part. It’s no wonder why the two Seniors, Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor, were stuck at this step.”
Shaking his head, Mu Chen felt regretful. If he managed to leave his entire name, dealing with the Heavenly Evil Monarch wouldn’t be a problem.
As he sighed in his heart, Mu Chen retracted his hand. At the same time, the word ‘Mu’ radiated with brilliance, as if it was being engraved into the depths of this world.
A mysterious power descended and enveloped the three Mu Chens.
The three Mu Chens closed their eyes and their clothes fluttered. Everyone could sense an irresistible pressure gradually permeating from Mu Chen that exceeded the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm!
It was a genuine transformation.
The three Mu Chens exchanged a look and smiled. They could sense a mysterious energy in their bodies; it was the world’s energy.
Right now, they were much stronger than before.
“Congratulations on leaving your name on the Firmament Board.” The Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor smiled as they cupped their hands in the direction of Mu Chen.
At this moment, Mu Chen was on the same level as them.
Everyone from the Great Thousand World faction looked at this scene with excitement and their voices exploded. “Congratulations, Lord Mu, for leaving your name on the Firmament Board!”
Qin Tian and the other Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereigns bowed as they cupped their hands together. They were filled with excitement and revere. Mu Chen now had the qualifications to be on the same level as the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor after coming this far.
His status was verified with the title, Lord Mu!
That’s because, at this moment, Mu Chen was the Third Ranker of the Great Thousand World!
