Chapter 723 - Interference

Boundless Nine Nether Battle Will whistled in the region. The extent of that power wasn’t something that the Demonic Lightning House, who had the advantage in quantity, could be compared to. The Battle Will ocean swept out by Mu Chen’s side. Looking from afar, it was like a black ocean of water pouring out from a spatial crack that wanted to cover the heavens and earth.

Facing such a powerful Battle Will, not even a Third Grade Sovereign dared to face it head-on.

Qin Ling stood on the sky as he looked at the boundless Battle Will from the Nine Nether Troop. His eyes slightly narrowed. Looks like it is as rumoured. The brat named Mu Chen does have an exquisite control over Battle Will. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for the Nine Nether Troop’s Battle Will to be raised to such a level.

Qin Ling’s gaze flickered and he coldly snorted shortly after. He stomped his feet as layers of greyish-black clouds formed behind him from the Demonic Lightning Battle Will. Violent thunderous roars resonated between the heavens and earth, the commotion from that was extremely powerful.

“Don’t treat my Demonic Lightning House like your Great Havenlaw Domain’s Blood Hawk Troop!”

Qin Ling sneered as his eyes grew sharp. With his hands raised, the Demonic Lightning Battle Will burst out with an astonishing roar. Greyish-black lightning rampantly converged over, turning into a lightning spear within the layers of clouds.

The greyish-black lightning bolts were like massive pythons as they coiled around the lightning spear. Then, a loud rumble trembled the heavens and earth.

Qin Ling had no hesitation to test Mu Chen as he attempted to give all he had to give right from the start. Evidently, he was trying to gain the upper hand as soon as possible and defeat the Nine Nether Troop.

“Demonic Lightning Spear!”

Qin Ling clenched his fist and the spear was abruptly cast down. The greyish-black spear suddenly flew out, causing space to shatter as it appeared above the Nine Nether Troop in a flash.

“Nine Nether Feather!”

Mu Chen’s seals changed as the ocean of Battle Will surged. A huge black feather burst out and clashed with the lightning spear.

Boom!

The huge clashes violently resonated, causing violent fluctuations to wreak havoc and lift gales. However, they could not budge the two majestic oceans of Battle Will.

Even after failing the first attack, there weren’t any changes in Qin Ling’s eyes, but his seals swiftly changed. Torrential Battle Will violently surged as several lightning spears were rapidly seen taking form. In just a few breaths’ time, they had already covered the horizon.

That scene made the scalps of many experts numb. Even an ordinary Third Grade Sovereign expert would have a hard time executing such a powerful attack. But right now, it was casually executed by Qin Ling. This was the terrifying fact of using Battle Will, because their opponent wasn’t facing an individual but a troop consisting of thousands of elites, commanded by a Third Grade Sovereign expert!

“Go!”

Qin Ling flicked his finger as the earth-shattering amount of lighting spears burst out. Every movement caused mountains to crumble and the earth to crack. The feeling of the heavens and earth turning dull was extraordinary.

But facing his violent attacks, there wasn’t any fear in Mu Chen. Although the Demonic Lightning House had the advantage in numbers, he had the advantage in terms of manipulation and comprehension. So it was an impossible feat for Qin Ling to attempt to suppress him with Battle Will.

Therefore, Mu Chen immediately controlled the Nine Nether Battle Will to whistle out. The Battle Will looked to be formed from countless Battle Will waves layering on top of one another as it clashed with the innumerable lightning spears.

Boom! Boom!

Rampant and massive explosions constantly rang out from the horizon as gales swept out, wreaking havoc, causing space to distort.

Down below, there were countless experts looking up at the horizon, which had been continuously letting out explosions. There wasn’t any technique in the clash between the two, they had been clashing head-on with robust Battle Wills.

However, anyone could tell that Qin Ling, who had been unleashing violent attacks, could not gain the slightest upper hand in the battle. His attacks were entirely resisted by Mu Chen and could not advance a single inch.

This scene made many people feel a little astonished in their heart. All these years, the reputation of the Demonic Lightning House had been widely spread, no one knew the exact number of forces that were annihilated by them. And right now, such ferocious might was actually stopped.

Judging from the current situation, even if the Nine Nether Troop could not destroy the Demonic Lightning House, they could at least hold them back. This new Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Palace did have some tricks up his sleeves.

Rumble!

The violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations wreaked havoc for dozens of minutes in the sky before they gradually died down. Qin Ling had also stopped the pointless and frantic attacks as he knew that even if this went on, it would only drag time.

The confrontation between Battle Will of troops relied on thunderclap means. Because of the vast amount of troops, it was natural to win relying on the advantage of quantity. If it was an encirclement, they could trap their enemy to death. But if two troops wished to determine the victory, they would have to execute their strongest means to defeat their opponent’s Battle Will, determining their victory in a single move.

But right now, the Battle Will of the Nine Nether Troop wasn’t any weaker than the Demonic Lightning House. If this battle were to carry on, it would undoubtedly be a waste of time. Thus, this result wasn’t something that Qin Tiangang or Qin Ling wanted.

Qin Ling’s gaze flickered as his thin lips look especially sinister at this moment.

“What? You’re not going to continue?” Mu Chen smiled after seeing Qin Ling halt his attacks.

Qin Ling’s gaze was cold as he cast Mu Chen a glance and lightly said, “Brat, I have to admit that you are indeed talented in the field of Battle Will. But... I have to say that you’re still too tender.”

As he spoke, a smear of a strange smile abruptly rose on Qin Ling’s lips

Seeing that smile, Mu Chen slightly frowned his brows as a smear of uneasiness rose in his heart.

Suddenly, Qin Ling clenched his fist and a rock that was flickering with greyish-black lightning appeared in his hand. He tightened his grip, instantly shattering that lightning rock.

Boom!

Greyish-black lightning spluttered out from every direction. As the lightning spread out, it did not cause any harm. However, Mu Chen’s face instantly changed colours.

Because Mu Chen realised that the lightning was like a massive forcefield, and the Battle Will that was gathered around him was swiftly fading into that forcefield.

“What’s going on?”

Mu Chen’s gaze slightly turned cold as he looked at Qin Ling and realised that the Demonic Lightning Battle Will converged on the latter was also swiftly fading at this instance. Evidently, Qin Ling had also suffered the effect of the lightning as well.

What is that fellow planning?

“Haha, did you realise that you can no longer manipulate Battle Will?” Qin Ling looked at Mu Chen with mockery as he patted his hands shortly after. “That was the Demonic Lightning Crystal. It can coordinate with the Demonic Lightning Mountain to create a lightning field. In the lightning field, it will cause a great disturbance to Battle Will. So we will not be able to use Battle Will anymore in this area.”

Mu Chen tightly knitted his brows as he narrowed his eyes. He was sensing Battle Will but there seemed to be a formless energy causing a disturbance to him. It was a disturbance that he could not get rid of with his current cultivation.

A slight uproar also came from the Nine Nether Troop below. If Mu Chen could no longer use Battle Will, wouldn’t that mean that their Nine Nether Troop was nearly crippled? Mu Chen was the soul of the Nine Nether Troop and only he could control the Battle Will. If a troop loses their Battle Will, it would be no different from a group of disorganized soldiers.

“What’s going on?”

Countless experts below also realised this situation and couldn’t help speaking out in doubt. What was Qin Ling doing? If that was the case, wouldn’t that mean that he could no longer use Battle Will to launch attacks as well?

“You have now lost your Nine Nether Troop and I lost my Demonic Lightning House.”

Qin Ling looked at Mu Chen with an eye-narrowing smile as he gently pointed at Mu Chen and himself. “Right now, there’s only you and me, right here.”

As he spoke, everyone understood what Qin Ling meant. Losing the Nine Nether Troop, Mu Chen would just be a Second Grade Sovereign, whereas Qin Ling had long become a Third Grade Sovereign!

With the help of Nine Nether Troop’s Battle Will, Mu Chen could confront with Qin Ling. But now that the Nine Nether Troop’s Battle Will was seized from him, Mu Chen’s strength would be brought back down.

Both parties were originally in a stalemate, now that the Battle Will was removed from this equation, the balance was pulled apart!

This was Qin Ling’s objective!

“Despicable!”

Tang Bing clenched her teeth as she roared. Shortly after, her gaze grew cold as she gave an ice-cold order, “Go! Eradicate the Demonic Lightning Sect!”

At the rear, many forces of the Great Havenlaw Domain couldn’t hold themselves back any longer as Spiritual Energy violently soared towards the horizon. Yells and calls of war resonated across the land. Countless steaks of light flew across the horizon from all directions, encircling towards the Demonic Lightning Mountain.

“Block them out!”

When the forces of the Hundred Battles Domain saw the situation, they immediately charged forth as well. They understood that the two battlefields in the sky were closely bound up. And right now, Qin Ling had trapped Mu Chen. As long as they managed to withstand the opposing force, the victory of this battle would ultimately tilt towards them.

So, they naturally could not fall back at this point in time.

Terrifying currents intertwined across the horizon, causing the entire heavens and earth to tremble in an instant.

Boom! Boom!

There was a great commotion caused by the confrontation of both parties. Innumerable experts had charged forth as the Spiritual Energy fluctuations emitted from them caused the earth to be constantly trembling. Mountain peaks were reduced to dust from the collisions of Spiritual Energy. Large ravines were like the abyss as they tore open on the ground...

Up in the sky, Qin Ling crossed his arms against his chest as he allowed the Spiritual Energy to wreak havoc below. His gaze was a little cold as he stared at Mu Chen. The smile that hung on the corner of his lips was filled with a sinister expression.

“Now, what else can you do?”

Mu Chen was looking at Qin Ling as well as his tightly knitted brows slowly loosened up. Shortly after, he smiled and nodded his head. “Not using Battle Will... just as I have wished.”

Hearing Mu Chen’s words, Qin Ling’s eyes suddenly narrowed as his gaze turned savage.

Even at this time, this Mu Chen wants to put on a tough front? What a wretched fellow!
