After the battle between Mu Chen and Xue Lingzi, Mu Chen's fame had once again spread out in the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield. But this time, the commotion that it caused had far exceeded the previous time.
That's because a Greater Earth Sovereign had fallen this time.
In the Great Thousand World, everyone knew that Earth Sovereigns possessed a tenacious vitality. Perhaps it was possible to defeat them, but it was extremely difficult to kill them, unless the two of them had a crushing advantage in terms of strength.
Why were the three Holy Children of the West Heaven Temple so famous in the West Heaven Continent?
Wasn't it mainly because they had once killed a Greater Earth Sovereign?
But right now, such a shocking achievement actually appeared in the hands of a Lesser Earth Sovereign.
Judging from a certain degree, it was even more shocking than the three Holy Children of the West Heaven Temple.
It was precisely because of this that no one dared to look for trouble with Mu Chen. As for the talk of suppressing an outsider like Mu Chen for the sake of the West Heaven Continent, it had all disappeared at this moment.
What a joke, Mu Chen was clearly an ominous star, and Xue Lingzi had killed him without any hesitation. With such ruthless means, Xue Lingzi was someone that would definitely take revenge for the smallest grievance. If Xue Lingzi was enraged, then the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.
Thus, no one dared to look for trouble with Mu Chen, allowing him to have two to three days of peace.
Mu Chen had also made use of this period of peace to study the Spiritual Trinity Battle Formation and gradually gained a grasp of it. After all, the difficulty of this Spiritual Trinity Battle Formation wasn't too high, it's just that the conditions were too harsh.
After gaining an initial grasp of the Spiritual Trinity Battle Formation, Mu Chen stepped into the battlefield once again. But this time, he did not set up a Spiritual Array like before, but took the initiative to attack.
He had immediately brought out the Spirit-Slaughtering Army and Demon-Extinguishing Army, leading the two troops to sweep through the Greater Earth Sovereigns that he encountered. Boundless Battle Will surged and enveloped the other party before a shocking battle ensued.
But most of the battles ended with Mu Chen's victory. That's because, with the Battle Will of the Spirit-Slaughtering Army and Demon-Extinguishing Army, he could confront elites amongst the Greater Earth Sovereigns.
During the battle, his crystal Spiritual Energy that could seal his opponent was also quietly seeping through. By the time his opponent reacted, a portion of his Spiritual Energy had already been sealed by the crystal Spiritual Energy. In an instant, the situation had collapsed and he could only admit defeat.
Facing those that admitted defeat, Mu Chen wasn't as ruthless as he was with Xue Lingzi. After all, Xue Lingzi was Luo Li's enemy, and he had used cunning means to deal with Mu Chen. So Mu Chen naturally wouldn't show any mercy to him.
However, it was different for the other Greater Earth Sovereigns. They didn't have any enmity with each other, so it wouldn't be a problem for him if they killed their way over. After all, the Mu Abode's foundation wasn't in the West Heaven Continent. However, those Greater Earth Sovereigns would implicate the Luo God Clan, and it would undoubtedly cause the Luo God Clan to be isolated in the West Heaven Continent.
This wasn't something that Mu Chen wanted to see.
Thus, when his opponents admitted defeat, Mu Chen only seized their Battle Seals and allowed them to leave the battlefield.
Under this, Mu Chen's infamy grew even more ferocious. In the end, the other Greater Earth Sovereigns would leave whenever they saw Battle Will rising, fearing that they would attract this malefic star.
At this moment, everyone knew that Mu Chen had become a dark horse, and in the entire Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield, only a few of them could deal with this dark horse.
Boom!
Boundless Battle Will swept out like an ocean, blotting out the sun. Wherever the waves of Battle Will passed, even the heavens and earth were trembling.
At this moment, a green-robed figure had a bitter expression on his face as he did not expect himself to be so unlucky today. Half a day ago, he had encountered the Starry Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Liu Xingchen, and was instantly frightened to the point of fleeing. In the end, although he managed to get rid of Liu Xingchen, he still ended up in front of this fiend.
Who in the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield didn't know that Mu Chen had defeated no less than ten Greater Earth Sovereigns with the help of two troops? His achievements were shocking.
The azure-robed man had a reputation in the West Heaven Continent, so his strength wasn't ordinary. But facing the boundless ocean of Battle Will, he knew that he didn't have a high chance of winning.
Furthermore, he had also sensed an extremely dangerous fluctuation in the ocean of Battle Will. It wasn't Battle Will, but a more threatening power.
Thus, after he couldn't break through the ocean of Battle Will, he helplessly raised his hand and declared, "I admit defeat!"
Along with his voice, a crack appeared in the ocean of Battle Will and a slender youthful silhouette stepped out, looking at the former with a smile on his face.
The azure-clothed man bitterly smiled as he shook his head. He did not speak anymore and waved his hand. Four Battle Seals flew towards Mu Chen.
Receiving the four Battle Seals, Mu Chen cupped his hands towards the azure-robed man. "Thanks for letting me win."
"You're extraordinary, and it's not an injustice for me to lose. But I have no idea how you compare to the three Holy Children of the West Heaven Temple, Liu Xingchen, Sword Immortal Lang Ya, and Ba Dao. But there will definitely be a battle between the three of you, and I will watch from the outside." The azure-robed man smiled since he knew that there was no hope for him to compete.
As his voice rang out, his figure gradually dissipated, before swiftly disappearing from this world.
Looking at his disappearing silhouette, Mu Chen squinted his eyes. As time passed, the number of people in the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield had decreased, but those that remained were all elites amongst the Greater Earth Sovereigns.
The six that the azure-robed man had mentioned were hot candidates for the Seed of the Continent, and even Mu Chen had to be cautious and fearful of them.
It was clearly not an easy task to snatch the one and only spot from their hands.
As Mu Chen's thoughts surged, he shook his head a brief moment later and calmed his thoughts. Waving his hand, a screen appeared before him.
There was a Battle Seal Ranking on the screen, and Ling Zhanzi of the West Heaven Temple was ranked first with a total of 30 Battle Seals!
Behind him was the Starlight Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Liu Xingchen, who also had 25 Battle Seals.
Behind him were the two Holy Children of the West Heaven Temple, Su Mu, and Chu Men. The four of them had a similar number of Battle Seals, so they were in a deadlock.
Ranked 7th was Mu Chen with a total of 18 Battle Seals.
"Those fellows are really hard to catch up to."
Mu Chen looked at the screen. There were only roughly ten people left on the Battle Seal Ranking. That meant that if he continued to be eliminated, he would face the six of them sooner or later.
It would definitely be a tough battle.
However, there wasn't any fear in Mu Chen's eyes. On the contrary, his eyes were blazing with fighting intent. The six of them might be famous amongst the Greater Earth Sovereigns of the West Heaven Continent, but it's impossible for him, Mu Chen, to admit defeat.
That's because he still had a trump card that he had yet to use.
When the Three Pures appeared, Mu Chen was absolutely confident that even without the Battle Formation or Spiritual Array, he would possess the strength to challenge those at a higher level.
"Mhm?"
Just as thoughts circulated in Mu Chen's mind, his heart suddenly jolted and he raised his head. In the next instant, he saw a streak of starlight flying over from afar and appeared before him.
It was a middle-aged man donned in a black robe with starry runes on it. His hair was white, and he had an elegant face that emanated a gentle aura.
Looking at this person, Mu Chen squinted his eyes and the boundless Battle Will around him whistled. That's because this middle-aged man was the Starlight Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Liu Xingchen.
But when Mu Chen had his guard up, Liu Xingchen lowered his head and cast a glance at the boundless ocean of Battle Will around Mu Chen with a flash of shock in his eyes before he gave Mu Chen a gentle smile.
Sensing the goodwill in Liu Xingchen's eyes, Mu Chen was briefly stunned and the boundless Battle Will around him retracted a little.
Liu Xingchen did not speak to Mu Chen. He cupped his fists and looked into the distance before his silhouette moved. He turned into a streak of light and flew in another direction.
Looking at Liu Xingchen's silhouette, Mu Chen knitted his brows.
Rustle!
But before he could be puzzled by Liu Xingchen's actions, another fluctuation came from the distance and Mu Chen saw afterimages appearing in the sky. In just a breath's time, those afterimages had appeared above him and formed into an ordinary-looking silhouette that emanated a dangerous aura.
Looking at that person, Mu Chen squinted his eyes.
That's because that person was the leader of the West Heaven Temple's Four Holy Children, Ling Zhanzi!
When Ling Zhanzi appeared, he cast a glance at Mu Chen, but he did not make a move. His silhouette moved and turned into afterimages as he chased after Liu Xingchen.
Looking at the two of them, Mu Chen's face gradually turned grave.
Ling Zhanzi was actually chasing after Liu Xingchen.
Evidently, a battle was about to break out between the first and second.
That also meant that the Seed of the Continent contest was about to enter the cruel elimination stage.
However, he had no idea who would have the last laugh between Ling Zhanzi and Liu Xingchen.
