Boom!
Two divine like giant fingers streaked across the horizon, before colliding with a loud bang. At the instant of the collision, the entire world seemed to have frozen at this moment.
The Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth seemed to be fleeing in all directions, as if it was afraid of being turned into nothingness by the destructive impact.
Boom!
The freezing of the world lasted for a moment, but it also felt like a long time had passed. What followed after was a dazzling light that covered the sky and the earth. It poured down in torrents, filling every corner of the world.
The lustre was so dazzling that even the spectators in the plaza felt a stinging pain in their eyes and couldn't help narrowing their eyes.
Rumble!
When the lustre filled the plaza, a visible storm of Spiritual Energy violently wreaked havoc from the source of the collision. In the path of the storm, the entire ground was torn apart.
The endless sea of trees had been completely destroyed at this moment. All life had been reduced to dust under the impact.
Everyone in the surroundings of the plaza had shock on their faces as they looked at the destructive force and felt their scalps going numb. Even a Greater Earth Sovereign would probably die from the impact.
"Aren't the two of them too monstrous?
The battle between a Greater Earth Sovereign and a Lesser Earth Sovereign is actually so terrifying?! "
Some Greater Earth Sovereigns had bitter expressions as they watched this scene. This level of confrontation had exceeded their imaginations, which was a considerable blow to them.
"What a monster!" More people sighed and said, "I wonder who will be able to gain the upper hand in this confrontation?"
"It's most likely Ling Zhanzi. The Primordial Battle Emperor's Celestial Body is too terrifying. Furthermore, he has also borrowed the Battle Will of a million troops. Although Mu Chen's Celestial Body is mysterious, he's still a Lesser Earth Sovereign. I'm afraid that he won't be able to confront Ling Zhanzi."
"Who knows? That Mu Chen is even more monstrous than Ling Zhanzi. If he's also a Greater Earth Sovereign, I'm afraid that even Ling Zhanzi wouldn't be his opponent."
Many people agreed with those words. After all, the fighting strength that Mu Chen had displayed was too terrifying. He was only a Lesser Earth Sovereign, yet he could force Ling Zhanzi to this step. If there's a day when he stepped into the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm, how terrifying would he be?
At that time, could it be that he could confront a Perfected Earth Sovereign?
Thinking about it, many people felt their scalps going numb before they shook their heads. Although the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm was only a level higher than a Greater Earth Sovereign, the gap between the two wasn't small.
Perfected Earth Sovereigns were also known as the gateway to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm. As existences that were closest to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm, practically every single Perfected Earth Sovereign wasn't easy to deal with.
This could be seen from the number of people in the three battlefields. The Lesser Earth Sovereign Battlefield had a few hundred people, and the Greater Earth Sovereign Battlefield had nearly two hundred people. Only the Perfected Earth Sovereign Battlefield had less than ten people.
Thus, one could tell how terrifying a Perfected Earth Sovereign was. At that level, as long as they didn't provoke a Heavenly Sovereign, they could practically be considered as invincible existences in the Great Thousand World.
Thus, many people had denied the possibility that Mu Chen could confront a Perfected Earth Sovereign when he stepped into the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm.
While everyone's thoughts were running wild, the West Heaven Battle Emperor and Flame Emperor were also looking at the screen on the Ten Thousand Steps Stone Stairs.
"This Mu Chen is truly capable. This Sovereign Celestial Body of his can definitely be ranked in the Top 15 of the Great Thousand World's Sovereign Celestial Body Ranking. It's no wonder why he could force Ling Zhanzi this far."
The West Heaven Battle Emperor slowly said. At this moment, he had also seen how powerful the Immortal Golden Body was, and he had started to acknowledge Mu Chen's strength.
"In terms of Sovereign Celestial Bodies, the Primordial Battle Emperor's Celestial Body is truly inferior."
Yan Emperor smiled. "Then, who do you think will win?"
After a brief pondering, the West Heaven Battle Emperor said, "I'm afraid that no one will be able to gain the upper hand in this confrontation. In the end, both sides will be gravely injured."
Although he wasn't willing to admit that Ling Zhanzi would be forced to this extent by Mu Chen, the West Heaven Battle Emperor wasn't someone without magnanimity. He knew that with Yan Emperor's eyesight, the latter would naturally be clearer than him.
However, he narrowed his eyes shortly after. "But although Mu Chen's Sovereign Celestial Body is powerful, he's at a disadvantage in terms of his own strength. After this confrontation, he has practically exhausted all of his Spiritual Energy. On the other hand, Ling Zhanzi still has some cards up his sleeves. So although Ling Zhanzi had an unfair advantage in this battle, he will still be the one laughing in the end."
The West Heaven Battle Emperor was, after all, a Heavenly Sovereign with extraordinary eyesight. Before anyone could see the outcome of the confrontation between Mu Chen and Ling Zhanzi, he had already seen the next step.
When Yan Emperor heard his words, he nodded his head with a smile. "What the Battle Emperor said isn't false. But I'm afraid that it won't be as easy as you think to defeat that brat, Mu Chen."
Looking at the mysterious smile hanging on the corner of Yan Emperor's lips, the West Heaven Battle Emperor felt the corner of his lips twitching with uneasiness and doubt rising in his heart.
Could it be that Mu Chen still has some cards up his sleeves?!
How is that possible?!
Under the countless anxious and suffocating gazes, the Spiritual Energy storm that wreaked havoc in the battlefield gradually dissipated. The scene within also gradually became clear.
With their sight clear, the first thing that appeared in the countless gazes was the completely destroyed sea of trees. Everything within a thousand mile radius had been flattened, with sinister abyss-like cracks appearing on the ground. It was an extremely glaring sight.
On the left side of the land that had been split into two was the towering Battle Emperor Celestial Body, while on the right was the Immortal Golden Body.
The two Sovereign Immortal Bodies stood in confrontation.
Rumble!
But the confrontation only lasted for a brief moment before everyone was shocked to see the two Sovereign Immortal Bodies falling at the same time with one knee on the ground, causing a huge rumbling noise.
The lustre on the two Sovereign Immortal Bodies had also swiftly dimmed down. It was due to the massive exhaustion of Spiritual Energy.
Countless experts on the white jade plaza were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. That's because, from the looks of it, the earth-shattering collision from before had ended with both sides suffering heavy losses!
Far away from Mu Chen and Ling Zhanzi, Ling Jianzi, Su Mu, Ling Longzi, and Chu Men were also looking at this scene with shock. Evidently, this outcome had exceeded their expectations.
None of them expected that Mu Chen could fight with Ling Zhanzi to the point where both sides were heavily injured!
"That brat is too monstrous!"
Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi muttered with fear in their eyes. After all, Mu Chen was only a Lesser Earth Sovereign at this moment. If he was a Greater Earth Sovereign, then even Ling Zhanzi wouldn't be his opponent.
Under countless shocked gazes, Ling Zhanzi's face was dark as he stared at Mu Chen with a gaze as sharp as a blade.
Because it wasn't just the others that were shocked, even he himself was shocked by this result.
"What Sovereign Celestial Body did he cultivate?!
Why is it so terrifying?! "
Ling Zhanzi clenched his fists. He could naturally tell that the reason why Mu Chen could confront him with a cultivation of a Lesser Earth Sovereign was due to his mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body.
Ling Zhanzi's gaze was dark, but a brief moment later, he calmed his emotions and coldly looked at Mu Chen. "I never expected that there would be a day when I, Ling Zhanzi, would be forced into such a pathetic state. Mu Chen, I have to admit that you're truly extraordinary."
Mu Chen's face was a little pale as he sat on the shoulder of the Immortal Golden Body. Evidently, the previous confrontation had greatly exhausted him.
He smiled towards Ling Zhanzi. "I'm indebted to your praise."
Ling Zhanzi squinted his eyes with a chill surging in his eyes as he slowly said, "But do you still have enough Spiritual Energy to utilise your Sovereign Celestial Body?
Without the power of that Sovereign Celestial Body, can you still fight with me? "
"You must have exhausted quite a bit of your Spiritual Energy, right?" Mu Chen smiled.
Ling Zhanzi lightly nodded his head before he raised his head and looked at the three spheres of the Primordial Battle Emperor Celestial Body with a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.
"Battle Sacrifice!"
Ling Zhanzi stomped his foot on the ground and bit the tip of his finger, drawing a blood mark in the air before him. At the same time, a deep voice sounded out.
When his voice rang out, the one million soldiers in the three spheres slapped their chests, causing countless mouthfuls of blood to spurt from their mouths.
The blood soared into the sky and ignited, turning into boundless Spiritual Energy that penetrated through space and fused into Ling Zhanzi's body.
Boom!
With the addition of blood essences and Spiritual Energy, Ling Zhanzi's Spiritual Energy, which was initially weakened, had instantly surged and recovered to the pinnacle in just a few breaths' time.
Watching this scene, everyone outside the plaza had their faces drained of colour. No one expected that Ling Zhanzi would be so decisive and ruthless, using such an extreme method to extract the last bit of energy from the million-strong troop. Although it could allow him to recover his Spiritual Energy, it would cause great harm to the million-strong troop. Who knows, Ling Zhanzi might have to nurture that troop again in the future.
Evidently, Ling Zhanzi couldn't be bothered about that for the sake of obtaining the quota.
Under countless shocked gazes, Ling Zhanzi's eyes had turned red as he coldly looked at Mu Chen with boundless Spiritual Energy whistling around him. His roar had also resounded between the heavens and earth at this moment.
"Mu Chen, what qualifications do you have to fight with me this time?!
"You're still not qualified to take the quota of the Seed of the Continent from me!
"So get lost from this battlefield!"
