The dark light had practically enveloped this entire region. The powerful ripples that were being emitted from the light caused even the expressions of the peak experts in this region to change.
That's because the fluctuation had reached the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm!
The Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm was the closest to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. Even in the Great Thousand World, such existences could be considered as pinnacle existences.
In the Greatlaw Continent, there weren't any Heavenly Sovereigns. Thus, the most powerful existences were the few Perfected Earth Sovereigns.
They represented the most powerful forces in the Greatlaw Continent, and even the other top-tiered forces were fearful of them. But right now, another Perfected Earth Sovereign was born before their eyes …
One could imagine that in the future, the Great Heaven Domain and Northern Region Alliance would have a supreme position in the Greatlaw Continent. That's because they had also obtained a Perfected Earth Sovereign.
Many top-tiered experts sighed with complicated expressions as they looked at Emperor Xia and Lu Heng, who had ugly expressions on their faces.
The two of them probably never expected that after Mandala fused with her main body, her strength would have such a great increase. It was so much so that she even broke through the shackles and stepped into the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm.
A minute ago, everyone still felt that the Northern Region Alliance would have to pay a great price to face two top-tiered forces. But in the blink of an eye, the situation had completely turned around.
Even if two Greater Earth Sovereigns joined hands, it's impossible for them to confront a Perfected Earth Sovereign.
That's because the gap between the two of them was so great that it made others feel despair.
Otherwise, why would there be so many Greater Earth Sovereigns?
Even after cultivating for so many years, they still couldn't make a breakthrough?
While the Xia Emperor and Lu Heng's faces were unsightly, the five Lesser Earth Sovereigns of the Northern Region Alliance were dumbfounded at this scene. A brief moment later, they exchanged a look and the Palace Master of the Sky Profound Palace, Liu Tiandao, gently coughed.
"I never expected that the Alliance Lord would still have such a card up his sleeves. We have been short-sighted."
Hearing this, Mu Chen glanced at him with a faint smile and said, "I'm afraid that Palace Lord Liu really wanted to hand me over, right?"
After all, he had some grudges with Liu Tiandao in the past. Although the two of them had put down their grudges after establishing the Northern Region Alliance, there was still a grudge between them. Their relationship wasn't too good.
If an ordinary perfected Rank-9 dared to say something like that, Liu Tiandao would definitely fly into a rage. However, he was facing Mu Chen.
However, he couldn't display his stance. After all, they could clearly see the deep relationship between Mu Chen and Mandala.
If Mandala was still a Greater Earth Sovereign in the past, they might still have some thoughts. But now that Mandala has broken through to the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm, all their thoughts had been erased.
Furthermore, they were clear that the moment their Northern Region Alliance had a Perfected Earth Sovereign, their status in the Greatlaw Continent would definitely not be something that they could be compared to in the past.
With the protection of a Perfected Earth Sovereign.
They could sweep through the Greatlaw Continent.
Thus, if they joined the Northern Region Alliance in the past due to the circumstances, they had no choice but to do so. But right now, they felt fortunate to join the Northern Region Alliance.
It was precisely because of this that they could only face Mu Chen's mockery.
Liu Tiandao awkwardly smiled. He had already decided to avoid offending Mu Chen in the future.
When Mu Chen saw this, he did not chase after Liu Tiandao.
He only looked at the massive pillar of light. In just ten-odd breaths, it had already expanded to roughly a myriad foot.
Looking from afar, the bewitching flower was swiftly expanding. In just ten-odd breaths, it had already expanded to roughly a myriad foot in size.
Looking from afar, the bewitching flower was spreading its leaves like a python. Vaguely, it was less bewitching and more ferocious.
At this moment, the Datura flower looked even more terrifying than a primordial ominous beast.
As the dark flower swayed, it blossomed with millions upon millions of dark light rays. A muffled thunder like roar resounded across the sky, and one could faintly see the space distorting. It was as though there were dark lightning bolts descending from the sky, and landed on the gigantic bewitching flower.
The phenomenon between the heavens and earth continued.
At a certain moment, a terrifying tide of Spiritual Energy swept out from the heavens and earth. The Spiritual Energy was like a real flood of Spiritual Energy as it surged over. In the end, it was completely absorbed by the huge flower.
When the last drop of Spiritual Energy disappeared, the bewitching flower swiftly shrunk. A few breaths later, it returned to its original size and the petals fell with a petite silhouette curled up within.
At this moment, Datura's figure was still the same as before, a tender little girl. However, when she raised her head, her golden pupils had turned into a deep darkness.
The darkness made her eyes look like two black holes. If one stared at them for a long time, even their soul would be trapped within.
The black light turned into a black dress around Mandala's petite figure. She walked out of the flower and the Datura flower swiftly shrunk into a black flower that appeared in her hand.
Mandala opened her mouth and swallowed the extraordinary black flower before stretching her waist. Her dark and abstruse pupils were directed at the Xia Emperor and Lu Heng.
Emperor Xia and Lu Heng took a step back at the same time when they saw Mandala's gaze directed over. Their eyes were filled with caution and fear.
Although only the colour of Mandala's pupils had changed, they could sense that Mandala's aura had become several times more dangerous.
"Xia Emperor, do you still intend to fight?" Mandala cast a glance at the Xia Emperor as she casually asked.
After the successful fusion, she was no longer worried about the Xia Emperor and Lu Heng joining forces.
The Xia Emperor's face was a little unsightly as his gaze flickered. He was struggling in his heart. If Mandala was only a Greater Earth Sovereign, then he definitely wouldn't let this matter go so easily. But right now, Mandala had successfully broken through to the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm. That level of power had already exceeded what he could confront.
Becoming enemies with a Perfected Earth Sovereign would probably bring disaster to the Xia Empire.
Compared to that, the loss of a Crown Prince was a small matter. After all, he still had many children, and he had enough time to nurture the next Crown Prince.
Hence, after a long moment of silence, the Xia Emperor took another step back and spoke in an emotionless voice, "Since you have already reached this step, my Grand Xia Empire will accept this loss."
Many experts involuntarily glanced at the Xia Emperor as they silently clicked their tongues. This Xia Emperor was actually able to forcefully swallow this humiliation. What a formidable character. No wonder the Grand Xia Empire grew stronger and stronger during these years.
Mandala was extremely calm to this. Maybe the Xia Emperor was forcefully suppressing his anger, but as long as she was still alive, the Grand Xia Empire could only endure the humiliation they had suffered.
Perhaps this situation would change when the Xia Emperor broke through to the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm. But clearly, that day was still far away.
The accumulation required to break through to the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm probably far exceeded the imagination of any Greater Earth Sovereign.
Thus, after the Xia Emperor chose to endure it, Mandala looked at Lu Heng and this time, her tone was much colder.
"Lu Heng, this time, we should be able to settle the grudges between us."
Her cold voice was filled with dense killing intent. Clearly, she had no intention of letting Lu Heng off so easily.
Lu Heng's eyes darkened at this moment. The situation had turned out to be a little out of his expectations. However, he did not retreat like the Xia Emperor.
That's because he knew that the grudges between him and Mandala were practically irreconcilable. So even if he was willing to retreat, Mandala wouldn't let him off so easily.
Thus, he took a deep breath and took a step forth.
Boom!
Boundless Spiritual Energy swept out like a storm as Lu Heng threw a jab forth.
Terrifying Spiritual Energy gathered in that fist and formed into a star. The star shattered space as it flew towards Mandala like a bolt of lightning.
If an ordinary Lesser Earth Sovereign was facing Lu Heng's jab, they would probably be heavily injured. However, Mandala only raised her eyes and gently flicked her finger.
Boom!
The gigantic star shot out and smashed against a mountain that was floating in the sky. Instantly, the entire mountain peak was reduced to dust.
Deflecting that attack, Mandala faintly said, "If this is all you have, then you will die today …"
Before she could finish her words, Mandala's heart trembled and she abruptly turned her head over and looked into the distance with a smear of shock on her exquisite face.
At the same time, the other top-tiered powerhouses in this region had also sensed it and directed their gazes over.
At the same time, Mu Chen and the rest had also directed their gazes over.
Under everyone's attentive gazes, a huge mountain was suspended in the distant sky. However, the peak of the mountain had been reduced to dust by the previous attack. Hence, the interior of the mountain was clearly revealed at this moment.
There was actually a spacious plaza within the mountain. At this moment, there was a figure standing on the plaza. That figure was just quietly standing there, but there was an indescribable majestic aura spreading out from him.
Even Mandala, who had just broken through to the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm, looked extremely tiny under that aura.
Mandala stared at the figure as disbelief surfaced on her face. In the end, she couldn't help but mutter.
"That's the Heavenly Emperor?!"
