“The two of them have finallye face to face...” The confrontation between Mu Chen and Huang Xuanzhi shook the interest of everyone outside the Deification Pool. Their eyes were glued on the mirror.


    The two of them could be considered as the strongest participants in this Deification Pool, and it would be a genuine battle between dragon and tiger.


    “I have no idea if Mu Chen from the Ancient Buddha n is stronger or if it’s the absolute genius of the Phoenix n.”


    “It’s certainly Huang Xuanzhi! Didn’t you see how he easily dealt with Kong Ling’er’s group of three?”


    “Indeed. Huang Xuanzhi’s action from before was stunning. Although Kong Ling’er’s group could be considered as geniuses amongst the Supreme Divine Beast ns, they were helpless before Huang Xuanzhi.” Everyone sighed. They were too shocked about Huang Xuanzhi’s action. Although no one underestimated Huang Xuanzhi, they couldn’t help being shocked when they witnessed his action.


    Thus, many people were positive about Huang Xuanzhi, and they didn’t think that Mu Chen could contend against him.


    “After today, the fame that Mu Chen has built up will be the stepping stone for Huang Xuanzhi, and thetter will be the undisputed genius in the Great Thousand World.”


    While everyone was whispering, Tian Huang could clearly hear those discussions and looked a little worried. Although Mu Chen had some fame, Tian Huang was also startled by Huang Xuanzhi’s strength.


    It was no wonder why the Real Phoenix n had ced their hopes on him.


    “Even if Mu Chen can’t fight against Huang Xuanzhi, he will be able to escape with Nine Nether. As long as Nine Nether’s bloodline can be preserved, it’s fine giving up on the Peak Blood Essence...” Tian Huangforted himself.


    Although the Quasi-Saint Peak Blood Essence was tempting, it had no meaning without the Undying Bird’s Bloodline.


    ...


    Huang Xuanzhi tugged his hands together while his silhouette slowly hovered. A pair of golden phoenix wings spread out behind him, lifting waves that were myriad feet high every time they pped within the ocean.


    At the same time, he emanated a powerful pressure that enveloped a few thousand miles in radius.


    Even Nine Nether couldn’t move from the pressure. It was like a mountain was pressing on her.


    Waving his hand, a surge of Spiritual Energy swept Nine Nether out of the range of Huang Xuanzhi’s pressure before Mu Chen’s eyes started to coldly flicker.


    As Mu Chen’s robes fluttered, spiritual light gathered on his body. He had instantly brought out his Spiritual Physique, making him look as if he was made of gem.


    Although Mu Chen had defeated an Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign back in the Ancient Buddha n, Huang Xuanzhi was clearly stronger than that Elder.


    So even if Mu Chen could defeat those higher than his cultivation, Huang Xuanzhi could also do the same. So even if he was only in the Initial Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm, he had nock of strength with defeating a Middle Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign under his belt.


    The two of them had glorious achievements, but only one of them could remain standing today...


    Huang Xuanzhi opened his eyes and a golden light surged, before he pointed a finger in the next moment.


    Along with his finger, the pair of golden wings behind him exploded with rays of golden luster that formed into golden feathers with a pration power that could pierce through space.


    The storm of golden feathers shot out, causing the ocean water in its path to be evaporated.


    As the golden storm blew over, Mu Chen’s expression did not change, while his hands joined together. Boundless Spiritual Energy swept out of his body and had formed into a wheel that was a few thousand feet in diameter.


    When the wheel revolved, it was akin to a shield that blocked the golden storm.


    A crisp collision resounded throughout the emerald ocean. Every collision would cause an explosion in the nearby space, along with a few cracks.


    Seeing this scene, Huang Xuanzhi faintly smiled. “Your Spiritual Energy is truly more condensed than most Late Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereigns. But what a pity that it’scking whenpared to the Spiritual Energy of Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns.”


    Huang Xuanzhi’s vicious gaze could easily see that the wheel was being swiftly weakened through the sh, since the density of Mu Chen’s Spiritual Energy was inferior to his own.


    “Break!” Huang Xuanzhi flicked his finger and the golden storm froze, before converging into a massive feather.


    When the feather trembled, a sharp ringing echoed out, piercing through space.


    That golden feather had shed with the wheel in the blink of an eye. But this time, the wheel couldn’t pose any obstruction and was instantly torn apart, while the golden feather turned into a golden beam that aimed at Mu Chen’s brows.


    “An Immortal Heavenly Sovereign’s Spiritual Energy is truly more refined.” Mu Chen sighed, before he suddenly joined his hands together.


    The Divine Pagoda in his body trembled and a massive amount of Spiritual Energy poured into it and was converted into crystallised Spiritual Energy that filled Mu Chen’s body.


    At this moment, Mu Chen’s ck pupils flickered with those crystal lights and the pressure emanated from his body instantly grew.


    Opening his mouth, crystallised Spiritual Energy condensed into a long sword that flew out and shed with the feather.


    In that instant of collision, Spiritual Energy fluctuation and space copsed. In the next instant, the two powers had instantly canceled each other out.


    “Your Spiritual Energy suddenly grew stronger?” Huang Xuanzhi had shock in his eyes as he looked at the crystallised luster on Mu Chen’s body. He squinted his eyes. The density of Mu Chen’s Spiritual Energy was on a new level, whenpared to before.


    “I heard rumors of the Ancient Buddha n’s pagoda being able to amplify Spiritual Energy. It looks like that works for Mu Chen, as well... but since he can amplify it by so much, that means that his pagoda isn’t of a lower grade.” Huang Xuanzhi’s gaze flickered. He had instantly figured it all out. However, he had no fear, but gentlyughed, “But it’s more interesting this way.”


    Opening his mouth, a suction force burst out from his mouth and golden mes swept out in a domineering manner, evaporating the ocean water that was in its path into nothing. “Try my Golden Phoenix mes!”


    The golden mes flew out and turned into a massive phoenix that charged towards Mu Chen.


    The temperature had even caused space to distort. If an ordinary Spirit Heavenly Sovereign came in contact with it, they would probably be instantly incinerated.


    “Try my Spirit-Devouring Violet mes!” Mu Chen wasn’t afraid. His hands were joined together with violet mes rising between his palm, forming into a dragon that shed with the iing phoenix.


    When the phoenix shed with the dragon, an explosive heat wave blew out that instantly evaporated the ocean water within a radius of a myriad mile.


    As the ocean evaporated, the two mes started to dissipate. However, Huang Xuanzhi’s expression had turned a little grave. When he dealt with Kong Ling’er, thetter couldn’t even resist his Golden Phoenix mes. However, Mu Chen had easily dealt with it, and those violet mes weren’t simple!


    “This fellow ispetent.” Huang Xuanzhi’s gaze flickered as he coldly looked at Mu Chen. In the next instant, he pped his wings and unleashed several afterimages with golden mes on his palm.


    Mu Chen sneered and violet mes rose on his body, before he shot out at the same time, shing with Huang Xuanzhi.


    The two silhouettes shed in the sky with their palms and fists, unleashing a terrifying shock wave that swept the bottom of the ocean in waves as it spread out.


    Kong Ling’er, Lin Cang, and Xiao Tian retreated with pale expressions as they watched the confrontation with worries in their eyes.


    They could sense that the two of them had brought their fighting capabilities to the limit.


    They were shocked that Mu Chen was fighting on the same level as Huang Xuanzhi, who had brought out his full power!


    “This Mu Chen is really ferocious. I never expected that he could contend with Huang Xuanzhi.” Lin Cang felt disbelief. Although he knew that Mu Chen’s fighting capability had exceeded them, he never imagined that he would be on the same level as Huang Xuanzhi.


    Nodding his head, Xiao Tian also had fear in his eyes.


    Biting her lips, Kong Ling’er shook her head. “Huang Xuanzhi isn’t that easy to deal with, and he’s only trying Mu Chen’s ability. You guys have no idea how terrifying Huang Xuanzhi is when he brings out his full power!”


    Kong Ling’er also had a trace of fear on her face. She had once witnessed Huang Xuanzhi’s full power when he killed an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.


    In her view, the bnce of this battle was just temporary, and when Huang Xuanzhi loses the interest to y around, Mu Chen would probably end up like them.


    With this thought in her heart, a rumble urred in the distance and a shock wave blew the two of them apart.


    “Haha! This is fun!” Huang Xuanzhiughed as a chill flickered in his eyes. He looked at Mu Chen and said in a grim tone, “Mu Chen, I’m amazed by you, but if you think that I can’t do anything about you, then it’s too bad! There’s nothing fair in the world!


    “So this time, I will be thest man standing!” Huang Xuanzhiughed as boundless golden light gathered into a massive golden phoenix that was behind him, unfolding its wings.


    At the same time, a trembling pressure also started the spread out.


    ‘The might of a True Phoenix is unrivaled!’
