"Heavenly Palace Master?!"
Mu Jinyu felt a sudden sinking in his heart upon hearing this answer.
He immediately understood why the Heavenly Palace dared to send only one person to trouble him after he killed that man in black robe.
It turned out that the person was the Heavenly Palace Master.
No wonder he could cross into the Mountain-Protecting Array I had set up, as well as the courtyard restrictions, and enter my room without me noticing.
Only because the other party is the Heavenly Palace Master, rumored to be the strongest entity in the Kunlun Ruins beyond the Hedao Realm.
Mu Jinyu really didn't expect to alarm the other party into dealing with him personally, but at this point, he could only fight with all his might!
"Hah!"
With a furious shout, Mu Jinyu immediately activated the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, allowing it to float above his head, releasing Dragon Phoenix Qi to protect his entire body.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the Dragon Spear instantly appeared in his grasp, its sharp edge aimed directly at the Heavenly Palace Master standing before him!
"Haha..."
Seeing Mu Jinyu attacking him without a word, the Heavenly Palace Master revealed an appreciative look in the eyes hidden beneath the black robe.
Even faced with the menacing spear thrust, he remained calmly standing, hands behind his back, seemingly with no intention to dodge.
"Bang!!"
However, just as the spear tip was about to pierce the Heavenly Palace Master, it suddenly halted three feet from him.
It seemed as if an invisible protective shield had formed three feet in front of him, blocking Mu Jinyu's spear.
"Kill!!"
With an angry shout, Mu Jinyu activated the newly refined Five Beasts Spirit Fan, instantly unleashing five-colored divine light.
"Boom!!"
In an instant, the courtyard where Mu Jinyu was staying collapsed, and the rumbling sound echoed throughout the Chen Family.
"What's happening?!"
"Someone's making a move in the Chen Family?!"
"The direction seems to be... Young Master Mu..."
"Let's go, check it out!"
Some Chen Family People living not far from the courtyard, heard the commotion and were initially puzzled, but then decided to go over and see what was happening!
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!"
"Bang!!"
The Chen Family Ancestor, as well as the sect leaders of Wuji Sect and Baiyang Palace, all heard the commotion and sensed that a powerful expert was making a move, and their expressions changed, so they went to check it out.
Because of the soul shackles Mu Jinyu placed on them, if anything happened to Mu Jinyu, even if they did not die, their souls would suffer a heavy blow, leaving them as idiots.
The three soon arrived at the battleground and saw the Heavenly Palace Master fighting Mu Jinyu.
"The same black robe, is someone from the Heavenly Palace?"
"How did he break into our Chen Family? Why didn't he make a sound?"
"Such terrifying power, the previous man in black robe was at the Peak Hedao Realm, but couldn't handle the master's attack with such ease, his demeanor looks like an adult playing with a child."
The three Chen Family Ancestors discussed in amazement as they watched the battle between Mu Jinyu and the man in black robe.
In their view, Mu Jinyu was using three heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, going all out to kill the man in black robe before him.
That desperate stance was even more terrifying than when he killed the man in black robe half a day before.
But his opponent had never made a move throughout, no matter how Mu Jinyu attacked, he couldn't harm him in the slightest.
Not only that, the terrifying energy blasts caused by their fight didn't even lift the black robe of the man, making it impossible to see his appearance.
"Such composure, and such power, could the opponent be the Heavenly Palace Master?!"
The Chen Family Ancestor guessed with a grim expression.
As soon as he spoke, he, the Wuji Sect Master, and the Baiyang Palace Master all felt a suffocating despair.
The Heavenly Palace Master!
What a lofty existence that is!
Although they are sect leaders of powerful forces, they have never seen the Heavenly Palace Master while having been in the Heavenly Palace for many years.
But they dared not show any dissatisfaction, because the other party is an existence beyond the Hedao Realm.
Ignoring them, who are considered the strongest in the world's eyes, was rightfully expected.
Now, this long-hidden master has emerged, and is targeting Mu Jinyu, whose fate is deeply tied to theirs. Although they wished to join the fight, they couldn't muster any energy to help Mu Jinyu.
"Hah!"
Mu Jinyu didn't expect much from the three of them either. Seeing them hesitate, he shouted and threw the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron to suppress the Heavenly Palace Master, while yelling: "Go activate the Mountain Protection Array! Place your heaven-reaching spiritual treasures in it!"
Because the Heavenly Palace Master had not attacked, Mu Jinyu dared to risk not being protected by the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron and used it to strike his opponent.
"Rumble!"
The Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, once no longer used for protection, collapsed the void upon being thrown, releasing terrifying chaotic void currents that destroyed all the surrounding buildings.
The surrounding Chen Family People were startled and frightened!
It was the first time they had seen such a terrifying battle!
After all, a battle between powerful experts was not common in the Kunlun Ruins.
It was only recently, with so many forces hunting Mu Jinyu, that many people had witnessed the might of the Merging Paths.
But the three Chen Family Ancestors, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, suddenly came to their senses, realizing they still couldn't muster the determination for a life-and-death struggle with the Heavenly Palace Master, they grit their teeth and followed Mu Jinyu's command to activate the Mountain Protection Array.
Moments later!
"Rumble!!"
The Mountain Protection Array activated, causing the mountains where the Chen Family resided to shake violently.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Three divine lights suddenly poured down from the sky, flowing towards Mu Jinyu.
The three divine lights were purple, blue, and golden.
These were the Bronze Halberd, Purple Gold Divine Thunder Hammer, and Divine Formation Disc integrated into the Mountain Protection Array, drawn by Mu Jinyu's divine light, their power multiplied by the Earth Vein Qi.
"Hah!!"
Mu Jinyu roared furiously, drawing these three divine lights, imbuing them into the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, Dragon Spear, and Five Beasts Spirit Fan, and then fiercely attacked the Heavenly Palace Master.
This strike had already surpassed the power of the Peak Hedao Realm expert.
In terms of power, it could be considered beyond half-step Merging Path.
It's akin to half-step Merging Path within the Fanxu Realm, false Unity Realm such power.
Although far inferior to a true expert beyond the Hedao Realm, it was not a strike that even a Peak Hedao Realm expert could compare with.
Faced with such a strike, the Heavenly Palace Master in black robe finally couldn't avoid taking action; he actively extended a finger.
"Boom!!"
The booming sound was earth-shattering, like a star exploding, as an incomparably brilliant blinding white light erupted from their battleground.
"Ah!"
Countless people in the Chen Family felt their eyes stinging, shedding bloody tears, unwilling to watch any longer.
It was unclear how much time had passed.
The white light finally vanished.
Mu Jinyu also bore the discomfort in his eyes, glaring forward.
The Heavenly Palace Master before him still stood with hands clasped behind his back, so composed, not even a corner of his robe was damaged.
Mu Jinyu felt a surge of despair and helplessness!
Too powerful!
He simply didn't have the ability to contend with him.
Unless he could truly step into the Peak Hedao Realm's cultivation, he might have a chance to fight him evenly.
Otherwise, engaging with him would always result in being toyed with this way.
"You... not bad at all..."
Just as another wave of killing intent surged in Mu Jinyu's despair, the Heavenly Palace Master spoke again, then tore off the black robe covering his face.
"You..."
Mu Jinyu, upon seeing the Heavenly Palace Master's face, was struck as if by lightning, standing there dumbfounded.
