When Mu Chen ascended to the top, a screen rose around the plaza with the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield's Battle Seals Ranking on it. When everyone saw Mu Chen rising to the first position, a commotion broke out.
"Heavens, what's going on?
How did Mu Chen suddenly rise from the 7th to the 1st position? "
"It's Liu Xingchen!
Liu Xingchen disappeared, looks like his Battle Seals were taken by Mu Chen! "
"Tsk, tsk. What a good move, reaping the benefits of a third party."
"That Mu Chen is truly cunning. Liu Xingchen was heavily injured by Ling Zhanzi earlier, causing his strength to be greatly reduced. Looks like Mu Chen has taken advantage of the situation!"
"But I'm afraid that this isn't good news. His actions will undoubtedly anger Ling Zhanzi, and Mu Chen will soon be out of luck."
“”
Whispers burst out, but everyone felt that Mu Chen's ascension wasn't a blessing. That's because they had witnessed how terrifying Ling Zhanzi was. Even someone as powerful as Liu Xingchen was defeated by Ling Zhanzi.
Although Mu Chen could be considered a dark horse, he was still lacking compared to Ling Zhanzi, who had the highest chance of becoming the champion.
Luo Tianshen knitted his brows as he looked at the ranking. He initially thought that with Mu Chen's character, he would wait for Liu Xingchen, the Wolf Fang Sword Immortal, and the Tyrant Blade Chu Men to finish their battle with the three Holy Children before waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
But right now, Mu Chen had ascended to the top, which would undoubtedly attract the enmity of Ling Zhanzi.
As someone who had witnessed Ling Zhanzi's terrifying strength, even if Luo Tianshen was confident in Mu Chen, he couldn't help feeling uneasy at this moment.
"Haha, Mu Chen is actually ranked first, what a surprise." The West Heaven Battle Emperor looked at this scene and smiled at Yan Emperor with a teasing smile.
Others might not know, but the West Heaven Battle Emperor and Yan Emperor naturally knew that there was no battle between Mu Chen and Liu Xingchen. Mu Chen was only able to obtain those Battle Seals because of Ling Zhanzi.
However, in this kind of battlefield, sometimes this kind of advantage might bring trouble to oneself.
Hearing the ridicule in the West Heaven Battle Emperor's words, Emperor Yan smiled. "Mu Chen is also aiming for the quota, so he will naturally not refuse the Battle Seals that are sent to his doorstep. After all, if it's someone else, I'm afraid that they wouldn't dare to take advantage of it."
The West Heaven Battle Emperor laughed as he said in a playful tone, "Then, let's hope that he's capable enough to keep his position."
In the northwest of the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield, an unremarkable man opened the screen and looked at the forty-odd Battle Seals behind Mu Chen's name with his brows slightly knitted before he faintly smiled.
"Interesting. I never expected that there would be a day where I, Ling Zhanzi, would be robbed."
At this moment, Liu Xingchen's name had disappeared from the ranking, since he was kicked out of the battlefield. So he only needed to think about it to know that his achievement had been stolen.
"Haha, I never expected that you would have such a day."
A burst of laughter resounded from the side and two silhouettes flew over before they landed beside him. They were the other two Holy Children of the West Heaven Temple.
Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi.
Ling Zhanzi cast a glance at the two of them and smiled. "I heard that Liu Xingchen, Chu Men, and Su Mu had an agreement to join hands to deal with us. Now that Liu Xingchen has been dealt with by me, I'll leave the other two to the two of you."
Ling Jianzi casually replied, "What Lang Ya Sword Immortal? I've long wanted to meet him. At that time, I'll break his sword, and I won't have the face to use that title anymore."
Ling Longzi, who was as tall and sturdy as an iron tower, also grinned, revealing his eerie white teeth. "I also want to see how strong that Overlord Blade is."
Ling Zhanzi faintly smiled. "The battlefield has already come to an end. I suggest that we get rid of those that want to fish in troubled waters before dealing with the three of them. As for the final battle, the three of us will fight it out."
Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi nodded their heads. Although they were competitors, they had to get rid of the others first. Otherwise, if the quota fell into the hands of an outsider, then they would have to face the rage of the Battle Emperor.
Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi were swift and decisive. After coming to a decision, the two of them flew out and disappeared into the horizon.
Looking at their departing silhouettes, Ling Zhanzi shifted his gaze back to the screen and looked at Mu Chen with a faint smile. "I'll let you stay on that position for a while longer. When I'm done dealing with those shrimps, I will personally step on you from that position."
As his voice faded, he waved his sleeve and the light screen disappeared. At the same time, his figure had also slowly disappeared.
"Just like that, he's ranked first?"
While the entire battlefield was shaken by the change of the Numero Uno, Mu Chen shrugged his shoulders in amusement. In the eyes of many, his Numero Uno was probably filled with luck.
However, Mu Chen did not pay too much attention to it. Whether it was luck or strength, the truth would be revealed at the end of the battlefield.
"Right now, I don't have to obtain other Battle Seals. I just have to wait for the final battle."
Mu Chen's silhouette moved and appeared on a mountain, then he sat down with a calm expression. At this moment, there was no need for him to plunder anymore. That's because he knew that he couldn't be missed in the final battle.
Closing his eyes, Mu Chen calmed his mind and continued to study the Spiritual Trinity Battle Formation. However, his cultivation did not last for long, before he sensed two Spiritual Energy fluctuations approaching him at a shocking speed.
Opening his eyes, he looked into the distance and saw two streaks of light flying over. A few breaths later, they had turned into two silhouettes that stood before him.
One of the two silhouettes was in azure robes with a rusty iron sword on his back. His entire body was emitting a sharp Sword Intent that made others feel a stinging pain in their eyes.
As for the other person, he had a robust silhouette with long hair draped over his shoulders. He looked prideful and unruly with a domineering aura emanating from his face.
"Sword Immortal of Langya, Su Mu, Overlord Blade Chu Men."
Mu Chen raised his head and looked at the two silhouettes with a smile. He wasn't surprised that the two of them would come knocking on his door.
"You're the one who took advantage and snatched Brother Liu's Battle Seal?" Overlord Blade Chu Men looked at Mu Chen with a sharp gaze.
"I just happened to encounter him." Mu Chen smiled.
Chu Men was a little furious. "Brother Liu was clearly waiting for the two of us. As long as the two of us arrived, we would be able to help him recover from his injuries. At that time, he would be able to confront the three Holy Children of the West Heaven Temple. But in the end, you actually kicked Brother Liu out of the battlefield!"
Knitting his brows, Mu Chen replied, "Everyone is my enemy in the battlefield, so why should I let Liu Xingchen go?
What does the agreement between the two of you have to do with me? "
Hearing his words, Su Mu's gaze flickered. "It looks like Brother Liu has told you about it."
Casting a glance at them, Mu Chen replied, "Liu Xingchen fought with Ling Zhanzi, but he was heavily injured. He knew that he couldn't confront Ling Zhanzi anymore, which was why he gave the Battle Seal to me. But he clearly didn't have any good intentions in doing this. He just wanted me to fight with Ling Zhanzi."
"Shameless boasting!"
Chu Men was obviously a boorish person, so his face immediately darkened, "Kid, what arrogance! You speak as if you're qualified to fight Ling Zhanzi!"
Even Liu Xingchen was defeated by Ling Zhanzi, so it was laughable for Mu Chen, who was only a Lesser Earth Sovereign, to boast so arrogantly.
"It's not up to you to decide if I'm qualified or not." Mu Chen smiled.
"You!" Chu Men raged.
The Lang Ya Sword Celestial, Su Mu, stretched his hand out to obstruct him, then looked at Mu Chen and said in a calm tone, "Brother Mu, we don't care if Brother Liu gave you the Battle Seals. But I just want to say something. If Brother Mu intends to use the Battle Seals to exchange for treasures and back out, then the two of us can only seize them back."
In a calm tone, Mu Chen replied, "My objective is the only quota."
Hearing Mu Chen's reply, Su Mu felt relieved and smiled. "Since that's the case, then does Brother Mu know about the current situation of the battlefield?"
"The three Holy Children have swept through everyone, and if it goes as I expected, they will be the last three standing. If we're all eliminated, do you think that you can fight the three of them by yourself?
And obtain the only quota? "
"What are you trying to say?" Mu Chen's gaze flickered.
Su Mu smiled. "I just want to ask Brother Mu to replace Brother Liu's position. Only the three of us can confront the three Holy Children together. Otherwise, I'm afraid that we won't be able to obtain the quota."
"Sure."
Mu Chen straightforwardly nodded his head, since he needed a helper to obstruct the other two Holy Children. Otherwise, even with the Three Pures, he wouldn't be able to fight against the three of them by himself.
Seeing Mu Chen nodding his head, Su Mu wasn't surprised. As long as Mu Chen wanted to obtain the quota, then he would have to find helpers. Evidently, only he and Chu Men could accomplish this in this battlefield.
Su Mu smiled. "Since Brother Mu has agreed, then it's great. But we also need to confirm something."
"What is it?" Mu Chen raised his head.
Su Mu smiled as he slowly grasped the rusty iron sword on his back. A terrifying sword aura soared into the sky and wreaked havoc between the heavens and earth.
"I want to confirm whether Brother Mu is really qualified to cooperate with us."
