When Luo Li's enraged voice resounded, the air in this region seemed to have frozen as a powerful pressure radiated out, causing the space to tremble.
"Audacious!"
As the most loyal subordinate of the West Heaven Battle Emperor, Senior Winter hollered as he looked at Luo Li, who dared to offend the West Heaven Battle Emperor.
Mu Chen knitted his brows and took a step forth to protect Luo Li with a stone talisman in his sleeve. As long as he crushed it, he would be able to attract Wu Zu's Spiritual Energy clone over.
Although this was his last trump card, Mu Chen wasn't stingy. If the West Heaven Battle Emperor wanted to target them, then he could only attract Wu Zu over. At that time, he would like to see how the West Heaven Battle Emperor would deal with Wu Zu, who had a grudge with him.
The West Heaven Battle Emperor maintained a calm expression as he looked at Luo Li. "How have I gone overboard?"
Even when facing the West Heaven Battle Emperor, Luo Li did not show any fear. She knitted her brows and coldly said, "Battle Emperor, why are you feigning ignorance? The Seed of the Continent's Baptism Energy is extremely limited, and according to the rules, Lesser and Greater Earth Sovereigns will each get 30%, while Perfected Earth Sovereigns will get 40%.
"But the Battle Emperor did not mention anything about the distribution and wanted us to take it ourselves. That's unreasonable."
Hearing Luo Li's words, Mu Chen finally understood that the Seed of the Continent's Baptism Energy would be distributed in the past to be fair. After all, a Perfected Earth Sovereign was stronger than the other two, and if they were to fight for the Baptism Energy in the same place, most of it would be snatched by the former.
According to Mu Chen's estimations, Senior Winter might obtain 60% of the Baptism Energy, while he and Luo Li would only be able to obtain 40% or less.
The Continent's Energy was something that would only appear after a few hundred years of accumulation of Spiritual Energy. So a little less and a little more were two completely different concepts.
Evidently, although the West Heaven Battle Emperor pinched his nose and admitted that the two of them were here to snatch the Baptism Energy, he still gave them some trouble.
When the West Heaven Battle Emperor heard Luo Li's words, there weren't any ripples on his face. He faintly smiled. "The distribution rules are different in many places, and it's up to the ruler of the Continent to distribute it. So I have the authority to decide the distribution. Even if you guys invite Yan Emperor over, I have the right.
"The path of cultivation is the survival of the fittest. If you guys can't obtain enough Baptism Energy, then it's your own problem. If you guys can't even resolve this problem, then even if you become a Seed of the Continent, you won't be able to step into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm."
Hearing the West Heaven Battle Emperor's dignified words, Luo Li's brows knitted. She still wanted to argue, but she was stopped by Mu Chen.
"Although the Battle Emperor doesn't have any bearing, your words do make sense." Mu Chen smiled.
Hearing the stab in Mu Chen's words, the West Heaven Battle Emperor's brows twitched, but he wasn't bothered about it. He only looked at Mu Chen with a peculiar gaze. "That means that you don't have any objections to my distribution method?"
Mu Chen nodded his head with a smile. "There's no such thing as absolute fairness in the world. The path of an expert can only be courageous. If you don't have the ability and miss this opportunity, then it's your own problem."
Luo Li looked at Mu Chen. Although she had no idea why Mu Chen would agree to such an unfair distribution, she still maintained her silence due to her trust for the latter.
Seeing that Mu Chen had no objections, the West Heaven Battle Emperor's gaze flickered. Facing Mu Chen, who had exceeded everyone's expectations time and time again, even he wouldn't underestimate Mu Chen.
"Since the Battle Emperor has decided on the distribution method, then let me ask you again. If the outcome isn't what you have in mind, will you still interfere?" Mu Chen smiled.
The West Heaven Battle Emperor knitted his brows with an unsightly expression. "What do you think?"
He had sufficient reason to change the distribution rules. Therefore, even if news of this were to spread, no one would be able to say anything. However, if he interfered with the results, it was likely that he would attract the disdain of countless people. This would be quite a huge blow to his reputation.
Mu Chen nodded his head with a smile. "If that's the case, then I'm reassured. Can we start now?"
Seeing that Mu Chen wasn't worried, the West Heaven Battle Emperor's brows knitted even tighter. He had no idea if Mu Chen was pretending to be calm or really had some means up his sleeves. But regardless of anything, a mere Lesser Earth Sovereign like him couldn't possibly compete with a Perfected Earth Sovereign like Senior Winter, right?
With this thought in his heart, the West Heaven Battle Emperor's face eased up a little before he cast a glance at Senior Winter, which the latter had also unnoticeably nodded his head.
Senior Winter naturally understood the meaning behind the West Heaven Battle Emperor's words. Evidently, the West Heaven Battle Emperor wanted him to not hold back and seize as much of the Baptism Energy as possible so that it wouldn't benefit Mu Chen.
Facing this request, Senior Winter did not feel any difficulty. On the contrary, he was inwardly rejoicing. After all, according to the distribution in the past, he could only obtain 40%. But if he relied on his own ability, he was confident that he could obtain at least 10% from Mu Chen and Luo Li. If that's the case, he would be able to obtain 60% of the Baptism Energy, which was akin to a meat pie falling from the sky for him.
After hinting at Senior Winter, the West Heaven Battle Emperor waved his hand. "Since there's no problem, then let's begin. Remember that you only have an incense's time to divide the Baptism Energy. After that, the Baptism Energy will be divided into Baptism Radiance and you guys won't be able to compete with each other in that state."
Mu Chen's gaze flickered. That meant that they had to determine how much Baptism Energy they possessed within an incense's time. At that time, the Baptism Energy that they possessed would be converted into Baptism Radiance that would baptize them.
Rustle!
Mu Chen and Luo Li exchanged a glance before they flew out at the same time, charging towards the bizarre starry sky. Behind them, Senior Winter's silhouette followed them like a shadow.
In just a few breaths' time, the three of them had appeared in the bizarre starry sky.
In the starry sky, huge whales soared and ancient trees swayed. However, they were like illusions that passed through when they came in contact with Mu Chen's party.
However, Mu Chen could sense an ancient and pure Spiritual Energy from them.
That Spiritual Energy wasn't something that Mu Chen had come in contact with. It was an ancient Spiritual Energy that seemed to have existed since ancient times.
Buzz!
Just when Mu Chen was intoxicated by the antiquity and purity of the Spiritual Energy, a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation suddenly burst out. The Spiritual Energy swiftly spread out in all directions. It was like a barrier in the path of the Spiritual Energy fluctuation, which had enveloped the entire starry sky within the Spiritual Energy's range.
When Mu Chen raised his head, he saw Senior Winter unleashing his Spiritual Energy and started to divide the starry sky.
Exchanging a glance, Mu Chen and Luo Li did not hesitate to unleash their Spiritual Energy at the same time and started to divide the ancient starry sky.
In the beginning, they did not clash head-on with Senior Winter. Instead, they temporarily retreated and seized the areas that Senior Winter had yet to reach.
But the starry sky was limited, so in less than ten minutes, the three of them had already divided it.
At this moment, Senior Winter had occupied roughly 50% of the Baptism Energy in this starry sky, while Mu Chen and Luo Li could only seize the remaining 50%.
"Hmph."
Senior Winter coldly snorted and his Spiritual Energy swept out like a tidal wave towards the territories occupied by Mu Chen and Luo Li.
Evidently, he was going to seize Mu Chen and Luo Li's share.
Facing Senior Winter's invasion, Mu Chen and Luo Li had immediately joined forces and formed layers of defences to obstruct Senior Winter's invasion.
But just as the West Heaven Battle Emperor had expected, Mu Chen and Luo Li were only Lesser Earth Sovereigns. Facing a Perfected Earth Sovereign, it was impossible for them to confront the latter, even if they joined forces.
Thus, their defences were constantly being destroyed by Senior Winter. In just a few minutes, numerous territories had fallen into Senior Winter's territory.
At this moment, Senior Winter had already occupied 60%!
Looking at this scene, greed flashed in Senior Winter's eyes, since he wanted more. If that's the case, then his chances of reaching the Heavenly Sovereign Realm in the future would also increase.
"Brats, since the two of you don't have such fortune, then allow me to do it for the two of you!"
Senior Winter sneered in his heart and no longer hesitated. Boundless Spiritual Energy swept towards the territories of Mu Chen and Luo Li.
Facing the overbearing Senior Winter, Luo Li's face turned cold and the Luo Shen Celestial Body appeared.
Mu Chen's gaze flickered and the Immortal Golden Body appeared in the ancient starry sky, emanating a purplish-golden lustre.
The two of them coldly looked at Senior Winter. Even if he was a Perfected Earth Sovereign, he could only dream about seizing what belonged to them!
Seeing their gazes, a disdainful smile rose on the corner of Senior Winter's lips.
Two Lesser Earth Sovereigns actually dared to obstruct him? They're truly overestimating themselves!
"Today, I will let the two of you know that no matter how talented you are, you're still an ant before absolute strength!"
Senior Winter sneered and spread his hands apart. Instantly, torrential Spiritual Energy wreaked havoc like a storm.
