The Blood Demon Monarch stood still within the massive crystal pagoda as he squinted his eyes. However, there weren’t many changes to his expression.

Mu Chen’s silhouette appeared and he looked at the Blood Demon Monarch without any expression as well.

“I never expected that you could even withstand this Monarch’s Profound Blood Lightning...” The Blood Demon Monarch indifferently smiled at Mu Chen, seemingly a little shocked.

Anyone beneath the Heavenly Sovereign Realm would be reduced to ashes under his attack, so he never expected that Mu Chen could survive from it.

The Blood Demon Monarch’s eyes swept a glance at Mu Chen with crimson light flickering in his eyes as if he could see through the latter’s body. But a brief moment later, he had sensed something and an unusual smile appeared on his face. “So my Profound Blood Lightning wasn’t ineffective after all...”

Mu Chen squinted his eyes and helplessly shrugged his shoulders. Spiritual light surged in his body and two lights vaguely appeared as if they wanted to leave his body.

Those two were naturally his clones, and since he had just gained control of the Three Combination Realm, it wasn’t perfect yet. Adding on to the fact that he had just suffered the Profound Blood Lightning earlier, his fusion started to show signs of collapse.

According to this situation, he wouldn’t be able to maintain the Three Combination Realm for much longer.

The moment they leave his body, his fighting strength would drastically drop. At that time, it would be too optimistic for him to confront the Blood Demon Monarch.

The Blood Demon Monarch also knew about this, so he tugged his chest and looked at Mu Chen in ridicule. He wanted to see how the latter would put up his last struggle.

“A Monarch... is truly troublesome.” Sensing the ridiculing gaze from the Blood Demon Monarch, Mu Chen sighed. He has encountered quite a lot of powerful enemies in the past few years. But he never once experienced being put in such a spot where he couldn’t even gain the upper hand in battle.

However, he had no idea that the Earth Sovereign Realm and Heavenly Sovereign Realm had an imaginable gap, to begin with. If he spread the news of how he fought with a Monarch to the Great Thousand World, it would inevitably cause a great commotion. After all, under a normal situation, even a Perfected Earth Sovereign facing a Heavenly Sovereign could only die. But Mu Chen was able to fight with a Monarch to this point, and this was something that was basically impossible.

Mu Chen raised his head and looked at the Blood Demon Monarch. “Since that’s the case, then I can only do my best to trap this fellow before my clones leave my body.”

Without any hesitation, his hands abruptly joined together to form seals.

The massive crystal pagoda started to tremble and eight ferocious demonic diagrams appeared, emanating an ominous aura within the pagoda.

Looking at the eight demonic diagrams, the Blood Demon Monarch’s face finally changed. He could feel a faint pressure.

“These diagrams... are actually refined with Monarchs as materials?!” The Blood Demon Monarch’s eyes squinted. He could feel from those remnant demonic auras from those diagrams that these were Monarchs who were way stronger than him when they were still alive!

While the Blood Demon Monarch was shocked, Mu Chen took a deep breath and waved his hand. A torrential current flowed out and covered the pagoda.

This time, Mu Chen had practically brought out all the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid that he had with him, a total of 50,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.

As the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid turned into currents, the eight demonic diagrams greedily opened their mouths and started to devour those currents.

As they devoured the currents, the eight demonic diagrams slowly stretched out of the walls before they finally broke free.

They were like eight demonic gods that stood within the crystal pagoda and emanated a peerless ferocious might.

With a single will of Mu Chen, the eight demonic diagrams flew out and charged towards the Blood Demon Monarch.

The Blood Demon Monarch squinted his eyes before taking a step forth and appeared before one of the demonic diagrams then threw a palm out.

Terrifying Spiritual Energy wreaked havoc as the Blood Demon Monarch’s body trembled, while the demonic diagram was blown back and slammed against the wall, creating a deep crater on the wall.

However, seven other demonic diagrams flew over and surrounded the Blood Demon Monarch before launching their attacks.

As the two sides fought, the Blood Demon Monarch wasn’t afraid, even when facing this situation, and constantly sent demonic diagrams flying back.

“Although in this state, they should be able to confront with Heavenly Sovereigns, it’s still not enough.” Mu Chen’s gaze flickered at this scene. According to his speculation, trying to recover the demonic diagrams to the strength of the Heavenly Sovereign Realm required at least 400,000,000-500,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Furthermore, he still had to be in the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, or he wouldn’t be able to control them.

“But it won’t be an issue to temporarily hold up the Blood Demon Monarch.” Mu Chen’s hands suddenly joined together and the eight demonic diagrams suddenly retreated before a black light stretched out from their palms. In just a few moments, it had formed into a barrier that imprisoned the Blood Demon Monarch.

Every single fist of the Blood Demon Monarch would cause the barrier to tremble, and judging from the look, it wouldn’t last long.

Mu Chen waved his hand and a powerful crystallised light burst out from the pagoda before it fell onto the barrier.

Crystallised light swiftly spread out and engraved runes onto the barrier. As those runes took form, the trembling barrier gradually stabilised, and no matter how the Blood Demon Monarch attacked, he couldn’t shake it.

Mu Chen felt relieved at this scene, but he knew that it was only for the time being. Although he could borrow the power of the eight demonic diagrams and the sealing power of his pagoda, it couldn’t last long, and the Blood Demon Monarch would still be released, sooner or later.

At that time, the Eight-Divisional Pagoda would inevitably be damaged, and he wouldn’t be able to use it for the time being... and in that case, he would also lose a powerful trump card when facing the Blood Demon Monarch.

The Blood Demon Monarch also knew that Mu Chen was making his last struggle, so he looked at the latter with ridicule in his eyes.

“Stop struggling and let this Monarch devour you. Perhaps it might be an easier death for you.” His voice coldly resounded.

Mu Chen smiled, then paid no attention to the latter before his silhouette moved and disappeared from the pagoda.

Mu Chen’s silhouette appeared outside Blood Demon Mountain. When the residents saw this scene, joy appeared on their faces. They thought that Mu Chen had obtained victory.

But before they could cheer, Mu Chen waved his hand and everyone’s hearts trembled and they shut their mouths.

Bai Susu came to Mu Chen and she carefully glanced at the pagoda before she nervously asked, “Lord, where’s the Blood Demon Monarch?”

After a brief hesitation, Mu Chen responded, “I’ve temporarily trapped him, but there’s a limit to that. The moment he breaks out, I will no longer be able to obstruct him.”

When Bai Susu heard that, her face turned pale and the luster in her eyes had diminished, looking pitiful. After biting her lips for a brief moment, she said, “Lord, if there’s nothing you can do about it, then leave quickly,”

She knew that even if Mu Chen couldn’t defeat the Blood Demon Monarch, escaping shouldn’t be a problem for him.

Mu Chen did not respond to her but knitted his brows. He still had the stone talisman that the Martial Ancestor had given him, and if he really did reach that crucial moment, he could only crush the talisman. However, he wasn’t confident that he could call the Martial Ancestor over in a Lower Plane.

Thus, he could only keep it as a last resort. Right now, he could only rely on himself to deal with the Blood Demon Monarch.

After a brief silence, his eyes squinted. He seemed to have recalled something. With hesitation, he stretched his hand out and a white light flickering on it. The White Dragon Spiritual Pearl then appeared in his hand.

Flicking his finger, the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl slowly rose up before him. Right now, he could only try to summon the will of the White Dragon Sovereign, since that ‘opportunity’ was something that only the latter knew.

If he really managed to find his path to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm because of it and complete his breakthrough, then he would be able to face the Blood Demon Monarch.

However, the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl floated before him without any movements.

Seeing this, there was a flash of disappointment in his eyes.

Sighing out in his heart, he waved his hand. Just when he was about to recall the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl, Mu Chen could sense that the pearl was suddenly trembling at this moment.

A white beam of light flew out and an elderly figure was gradually condensed on top of the pearl...
