Extreme Spirit Chaos Technique

It didn’t take long. By the time the speed of Mu Chen’s Seal Technique had become imperceptible to the naked eye, the Shattered Star Lock Chain was already wrapped in a dense purple light!

Finally, Mu Chen’s hands, which had become a blur, abruptly froze. The Seal Technique was complete. The afterimages slowly faded away as Mu Chen’s lips moved, uttering a single word. "Illusion!"

"ROAR!!"

As he spoke the word, the patch of sky where the Shattered Star Lock Chain coiled suddenly trembled and let out a deep rumble. Following the rumble, a clear, resounding dragon’s cry tore through the air! The Shattered Star Lock Chain, which had been completely encased in red and blue light, burst forth! It transformed into an ice-flame giant dragon nearly two thousand meters long! The giant dragon was almost corporeal, and within its Dragon Body, a silver chain radiating boundless might darted about, acting as the very spine of the draconic beast!

The entire transformation seemed to happen in slow motion, but it took less than twenty seconds. At the same time, the blood-red hue in the sky receded. A thousand-meter-tall black phantom raised its scythe high, the entire weapon shifting from black to a ghastly blood-red. A dense Evil Qi and killing intent seemed to overflow from the scythe; the mere sight of it was enough to make one feel dizzy and overwhelmed.

"Evil Soul Stealing!!"

As if it had a mind of its own, the black phantom let out a great shout, its voice as grating and unbearable as a saw cutting through wood! Mu Chen’s brow furrowed. He knew that if this attack landed, he might be unharmed, but the people around him would be battered by the dense Evil Qi. Their bodies would be left in a sickly state for anywhere from three days to half a month!

He couldn’t allow even a single hair on Wan Xian’Er’s head to be harmed. Besides, with the Shattered Star Lock Chain at his command, how could he let this Holy Weapon Secret Technique strike so easily? His eyes narrowed. With a wave of his hand, Mu Chen shouted in a deep voice, "Seventh of the Broken Star Nine Techniques! Coiling Dragon Break!"

"ROOOAR!!"

Hearing Mu Chen’s command, the red-and-blue giant dragon’s eyes flashed. Though it moved second, it arrived first. Its body, over two thousand meters long, transformed into a streak of lightning and shot in front of the giant black phantom with a WHOOSH. The phantom’s Blood-Colored Scythe had yet to fall. The red-and-blue dragon suddenly dove, spiraling up from beneath the phantom and instantly binding it tight. With its Dragon Body coiled around the enemy, the dragon opened its massive maw. Ice-flame energy gathered as it faced the Blood-Colored Scythe and bit down. The long-condensed ice-flame Dragon Breath erupted forth like an Elemental Power Cannon. A vacuum thousands of meters in diameter instantly formed in the sky. The Dragon Breath pierced straight through the Scythe Blade and slammed into a ten-thousand-meter-long mountain range on the eastern side of Zhongling Mountain!

As expected, the result was cataclysmic, like the self-detonation of a Martial Venerable! The aftershock from that single gout of ice-flame Dragon Breath flattened half of the ten-thousand-meter-long mountain range. The terrifying roar echoed endlessly, like rolling thunder!

Even Mu Chen, the one who had cast the technique, couldn’t help but stare wide-eyed. He gulped, a look of shock and awe on his face as he gazed at the majestic mountain range that had been sheared in half.

’Truly terrifying...’

Mu Chen silently rubbed his nose and chose to say nothing. The battle in the sky had ended in an instant. Just as the Shattered Star Lock Chain had become the spine of the red-and-blue giant dragon, the Evil Soul Holy Spear had formed the Scythe Blade of the Blood-Colored Scythe. The moment the dragon bit down on the Scythe Blade, the Shattered Star Lock Chain’s Spiral Sword Blade had already locked onto the Holy Spear Evil Soul within it, giving it no chance to struggle. It was a fatal blow!

Now, the phantoms conjured by both weapons shattered simultaneously. All that remained was a silver chain, dozens of meters long, binding a three-bladed spear. It was the Shattered Star Lock Chain and the Holy Spear Evil Soul! The spear trembled and hummed desperately, trying to escape the chain’s grasp. But would the Shattered Star Lock Chain let it get its way? The answer, of course, was no!

"Behave!! Or I’ll destroy your Soul Heart!"

An ethereal yet childish cry echoed from the void. The tail of the Shattered Star Lock Chain whipped through the air with a sharp CRACK and viciously struck the shaft of the Evil Soul, producing a loud CLANG! Sparks flew, and a deep crack appeared on the body of the spear.

The blow instantly caused the still-struggling Evil Soul to tremble violently. Witnessing this, everyone in the audience subconsciously touched their own sides. Sacred Weapons had spirits and could naturally feel pain. The spear’s violent tremors transmitted the exact same sensation to everyone: pain! It was the first time any of them had seen a weapon so sentient that it could move on its own as if alive, let alone speak! Every single person present had clearly heard it say, "Behave!"

Seeing the Holy Spear Evil Soul stop struggling, the Shattered Star Lock Chain exchanged a few more threatening words with it. Then, like a hunter with its prize, it twisted around and shot toward Mu Chen.

As it neared Mu Chen, the Shattered Star Lock Chain suddenly released the Holy Spear Evil Soul. It shouted coldly in its childish voice, "Your master is pathetic. The ownership Contract you signed with him must be low-level. Break it!"

Hearing the words of the Broken Star, a chill ran down Tuoba Rui’s spine. He glanced at the Nether Flame Blade in his own hand and hastily stored it in a Spatial Rift. ’Are you kidding me?’ he thought. ’If that bizarre Immortal Soldier Lock Chain takes a fancy to my weapon, I’ll be left with nothing but tears. What kind of weapon is that? It can actually force a Sacred Weapon to break its ownership Contract!’

The Holy Spear Evil Soul seemed to have resigned itself to its fate. It hummed weakly twice as its shaft glowed with a brilliant golden light. It then forcibly squeezed out a single drop of crimson blood from within itself. After this, the Holy Spear Evil Soul seemed to lose all its vitality and began to fall weakly from the sky.

Seeing this, the Shattered Star Lock Chain flicked its tail, catching the Holy Spear Evil Soul and tossing it to Mu Chen. Then, with a flash of silver light, it transformed into a bracelet-like armband and merged into Mu Chen’s right arm.

Mu Chen caught the Holy Spear Evil Soul, still in a daze. He rubbed his nose with a wry smile and asked mentally, "Little Spirit, what’s this?"

Little Spirit giggled, her earlier domineering and cold attitude gone. She said sweetly, "Big Brother, this Evil Soul Holy Spear is a top-tier weapon among Sacred Weapons. Its master was just too weak to bring out its full power. I couldn’t let it collect dust, so I snatched it for you, Big Brother. Even though I know you don’t need it."

Hearing this, Mu Chen’s heart warmed. He gently stroked the silver armband under the sleeve of his right arm. He then put the Holy Spear Evil Soul directly into his Storage Ring. Since the ownership Contract had been broken, the Holy Spear Evil Soul had suffered some backlash and entered a dormant state, which was why it could be stored in the ring. He might not need it, but he could always give it to someone else.

He slowly descended from the sky, landing steadily on the Profound Jade Box. Looking at Wan Xian’Er, whose eyes were wide with shock and astonishment, he smiled. "Xian’Er, I’ll tell you everything, but first, I need to take care of all the trouble you’ve attracted."

With that, Mu Chen gently booped Wan Xian’Er on the nose. Wan Xian’Er wasn’t used to such an intimate gesture and her shock instantly turned to flustered indignation. She was about to say something to him when she noticed his expression turn incredibly serious. His cold, blue-violet eyes swept over the crowd at the tables below. He took a step to the edge of the platform and said in a chilling voice, "Anyone else want to try and take Xian’Er from me? Step right up."

They were incredibly arrogant words, yet upon hearing them, no one showed a trace of defiance—aside from Tuoba Rui and Yu Wen Tuo, who both had complex expressions. The fact that he had defeated Zhang Lie with his own power and forced him to use a Holy Weapon Secret Technique was enough to earn their reverence. And that wasn’t even mentioning that the guy also possessed a Nine-Turn Immortal Soldier.

Even though they were all young masters from Noble Families in major cities governed by the Ding Palace, they weren’t foolish enough to lose their heads when faced with a monster who was clearly on a completely different level. Besides, judging by Wan Xian’Er’s reaction, her heart had already been captured. Only an idiot would rush up there looking to get beaten.

’Everyone was thinking the same thing.’ Mu Chen was naturally happy to have things quiet down. ’Looks like my show of force was a success. The rest of this trouble should take care of itself.’

However, just as Mu Chen turned to leave, Yu Wen Tuo and Tuoba Rui suddenly leaped onto the platform. Mu Chen sighed helplessly. ’Looks like the trouble isn’t over yet.’
