Whoosh!
A fiery red figure swept past the endless dusky world. Within the flowing light was a man dressed in a fiery red robe. His body was burning with raging scarlet flames.
This was due to the vigorous Fire Spiritual Energy that he had cultivated, which was the reason why his Spiritual Energy was visible, like a blazing cloak that protected him.
At this moment, the fiery-robed man was scanning the surroundings with a sharp gaze, like an eagle hunting its prey.
He was searching for prey, and if his opponent was weak, then he would immediately entangle them and seize the Battle Seals in their hands.
But in this battlefield, the identity of the hunter and prey could change at any moment. Thus, the fiery-robed man was extremely cautious. The moment he sensed that his opponent was too dangerous, he would immediately flee.
With a unique Fire Shuttle Art, he was confident in his speed. Amongst those on the same level, there shouldn't be many that could catch up to him.
Furthermore, if his opponent pursued him, then he could make use of his speed to slowly drag his opponent into a battle of attrition. In that case, he would have a greater advantage.
Previously, he had successfully obtained a Battle Seal by relying on this tactic of running while the enemy chased and chasing while the enemy ran.
The fiery-robed man held two Battle Seals in his hand and slowly rotated them in his palm with a smile on his face. He knew that with his strength, he wouldn't be qualified to compete for the only slot in this battlefield. Thus, his goal wasn't to obtain the only slot to become the Seed of the Continent. He just wanted to obtain as many Battle Seals as possible and exchange them for a treasure he wanted from the Battle Emperor's Treasure Vault.
When he obtained the treasure, he would be satisfied and leave. As for the quota, he would leave it to those fellows to fight for it.
"Mhm?"
As the fiery-robed man pondered in his heart, his expression suddenly changed and he squinted his eyes at the distant mountain range. He could sense an obscure Spiritual Energy fluctuation retreating.
The owner of that Spiritual Energy fluctuation was clearly trying his best to conceal his Spiritual Energy, but it still couldn't escape the fiery-robed man's senses.
A flame gathered in the fiery-robed man's eyes and in the next moment, his gaze had pierced through the distance and saw a silhouette in the depths of the mountain range.
"Lesser Earth Sovereign?"
The fiery-robed man was immediately startled when he saw the young figure. He quickly recovered and involuntarily revealed a playful expression in his eyes, "Is it that Mu Chen?"
The only Lesser Earth Sovereign in the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield should be Mu Chen.
When the fiery-robed man discovered traces of Mu Chen, the latter also seemed to have sensed it and immediately retreated. His figure turned into a streak of light as he continuously shifted within the mountain range in an attempt to leave.
"Heh, a Battle Seal that was delivered to our doorstep, do you think we can just let it go?"
Upon seeing this, the fiery-robed man parted his mouth into a smile. Soon after, he stomped his foot as scarlet red flames erupted from within his body. With a flash of the flames, his figure disappeared and directly appeared in the sky above the mountain range. After which, a palm slammed down.
The fiery-robed man was a cautious person. He had also heard of the confrontation between Mu Chen and Xiong Ba in the West Heaven Battle City. Thus, he knew that it was best not to come in contact with Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy when fighting.
Thus, he did not approach Mu Chen this time, but chose to bombard Mu Chen with his Spiritual Energy from a distance.
Boom!
As the blazing Spiritual Energy palm enveloped down, the temperature instantly turned the forest in the mountain range into a sea of flames.
Boom!
As the palm descended, Mu Chen's silhouette managed to escape the range of the palm at the crucial moment. However, the blazing shock wave still left him in a pathetic state.
However, Mu Chen couldn't be bothered about that at this moment and continued to flee without turning his head back.
"You want to leave?"
The fiery-robed man sneered. However, he did not immediately chase after him. His sharp gaze swept around the mountain range, and after sensing that there weren't any other Spiritual Energy fluctuations, he turned into a streak of light and chased after Mu Chen.
The other Greater Earth Sovereigns in this battlefield weren't pushovers, so it would be tough for them to obtain anything. Compared to them, it was easier to obtain something from the hands of a Lesser Earth Sovereign.
However, even so, it was necessary to be cautious, lest he failed miserably in a very simple task.
With this thought in mind, the fiery-robed man followed behind Mu Chen and would occasionally launch destructive Spiritual Energy attacks to exhaust Mu Chen's energy.
Thus, along the way, the mountain range was incinerated into a sea of flames with a silhouette constantly fleeing before the sea of flames.
West Heaven Battle City, White Jade Plaza
At this moment, the surroundings of the plaza were filled with figures that blotted out the sky and covered the earth. Countless gazes looked towards the sky above the plaza, only to see screens of light appearing.
There were all sorts of scenes on the screens, and every single one of them was filled with intense battles that made the blood of others boil.
Clearly, these light screens were showing what was happening on the three battlefields.
The moment a battle was about to take place, it would immediately be projected for everyone to watch.
"That Ling Zhanzi is too powerful. He has already defeated three Greater Earth Sovereigns in such a short amount of time!"
"Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi aren't bad either. They have already defeated two Greater Earth Sovereigns each!"
"Tsk, tsk. In the Lesser Earth Sovereign Battlefield, Luo Li is truly unstoppable!"
"Ling Feizi's achievements are also shocking!"
“”
Deafening exclamations continuously rang out from the surroundings of the plaza as they watched the intense battles unfold.
Amongst the crowd, Luo Tianshen was also looking at the screens. When he saw how Luo Li was rampaging in the Lesser Earth Sovereign Battlefield, he couldn't help feeling gratified.
Although Luo Li had just broken through to the Lesser Earth Sovereign Realm, her foundation was sturdy due to the Luo Shen's inheritance. Furthermore, some of her means were so powerful that even Luo Tianshen wasn't familiar with them. Evidently, they shouldn't be from the Luo God Clan, but from the Luo Shen's inheritance.
"At this moment, Luo Li still hasn't used the Luo Shen Celestial Body. If she uses it, there shouldn't be many that can pose a threat to her in the Lesser Earth Sovereign Battlefield."
Luo Tianshen gently stroked his beard as he swept a glance at the screens and lightly knitted his brows.
That's because he did not see Mu Chen's silhouette, which meant that Mu Chen did not fight. Compared to Ling Zhanzi and the rest, Mu Chen's efficiency was much lower.
However, Luo Tianshen knew how tough it was for a Lesser Earth Sovereign like Mu Chen to face so many Greater Earth Sovereigns. Thus, he could only pray for Mu Chen to have a smooth journey.
"Haha, isn't that the fellow called Mu Chen?"
"How did he end up in such a pathetic state? Looks like it's too difficult for a Lesser Earth Sovereign to fight in the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield."
"Who asked that brat to be arrogant and look down on my West Heaven Continent? Hmph, now that he's fighting, he will know how powerful a Greater Earth Sovereign is!"
Suddenly, a voice resounded, which caused Luo Tianshen's eyes to narrow. He immediately shifted his gaze towards a screen and saw scarlet flames sweeping out, incinerating numerous mountain ranges. At the front of the sea of flames, there was a figure fleeing in a pathetic state. Judging from the looks of it, it was Mu Chen!
At this moment, there were more and more people in the surroundings that noticed this scene. Immediately, roars of laughter rang out. Previously, they had heard of how extraordinary Mu Chen was. But now that they had started to fight, it seemed that he had exposed himself.
However, Luo Tianshen squinted his eyes at this scene. Unexpectedly, he did not show any worry on his face, since he understood Mu Chen's means. With his strength, he wouldn't be in such a pathetic state from a Greater Earth Sovereign.
Thus, there was only one reason why Luo Tianshen would do this.
Feigning weakness to lure the enemy into his trap.
Boom!
As the flaming palm whistled down, another mountain range was reduced to ashes. When the fiery-robed man saw Mu Chen, who was still alive despite being in a pathetic state, he knitted his brows and felt a little impatient.
"I can't drag this any longer. If this continues, there will be trouble if others are attracted."
The fiery-robed man's gaze was dark as he looked at Mu Chen, who was hiding in another mountain range. Without any hesitation, he waved his hand and a cloud of fire flew out. As the cloud of fire wriggled, it turned into a barrier of fire that enveloped the mountain range that Mu Chen was in.
After sealing the mountain range, the fiery-robed man turned into a streak of light and flew out. A few breaths later, he appeared above the mountain range and looked at a youthful silhouette without any expression.
"Why aren't you running anymore?" The fiery-robed man ridiculed with a cold gaze.
Facing his ridicule, Mu Chen stretched his waist and raised his head with a smile. "You're too careful. To make you drop your guard, you made me take such a long detour."
Hearing Mu Chen's words, the fiery-robed man squinted his eyes. He practically did not hesitate and flames appeared beneath his feet. He was about to use the Fire Shuttle Art to leave this place.
Regardless of whether Mu Chen's words were true or false, he was cautious and would rather play safe. At most, he would just chase after Mu Chen if he found out that Mu Chen was lying to him.
Pow!
But facing the fiery-robed man, who reacted swiftly, Mu Chen faintly smiled and stretched out his slender finger. A crisp snapping sound resounded.
Boom!
The moment he snapped his fingers, the entire mountain range suddenly trembled. Countless beams of Spiritual Energy shot into the sky, forming a huge Spiritual Array that instantly enveloped the entire area.
When the Spiritual Array was formed, nine Spiritual Energy dragons coiled in the sky and locked onto the fiery-robed man.
Looking at the fiery-robed man, whose face had turned ugly, Mu Chen lightly smiled. "Nine Dragon God-Killing Array, complete form. Please have a taste."
