Boom!
Boundless Spiritual Energy swept out in all directions with Senior Winter at the centre, before it charged into Mu Chen and Luo Li's territories in a barbaric manner.
Boom!
Under the impact, Mu Chen and Luo Li's bodies trembled. Even if the Sovereign Celestial Bodies behind them had burst out with boundless Spiritual Energy, the Spiritual Energy defence that they had formed was gradually being corroded.
Although the two of them were elites amongst the Lesser Earth Sovereigns, Senior Winter wasn't a Greater Earth Sovereign, but a genuine Perfected Earth Sovereign!
Even with his Spiritual Energy, an existence of this level could suppress Mu Chen and Luo Li.
Furthermore, it was fortunate that their confrontation was only in the encroachment of Spiritual Energy and not a genuine battle. Otherwise, it would be hard for Mu Chen and Luo Li to fight together if they were to start a battle.
Regardless of anything, the gap between a Lesser Earth Sovereign and a Perfected Earth Sovereign was too great to be bridged.
Senior Winter looked at Mu Chen and Luo Li's defence being gradually invaded by him with a cold sneer hanging on the corner of his lips. According to this speed, he might be able to occupy 70% or even 80% of this starry sky in an incense's time!
Thinking about how he could occupy 80% of the Baptism Energy, even with Senior Winter's temperament, he couldn't help rejoicing in his heart.
"This is truly a blessing from the heavens!"
Senior Winter laughed in his heart. If it wasn't for Mu Chen and Luo Li seizing the Seed of the Continent, which made the West Heaven Battle Emperor unhappy, he wouldn't have such an opportunity. After all, according to the rules, the Baptism Energy was distributed by the West Heaven Battle Emperor to take care of the Lesser Earth Sovereigns and Greater Earth Sovereigns.
While Senior Winter was feeling complacent, Luo Li knitted her brows and looked at Mu Chen. "Mu Chen, what should we do?
If this goes on, I'm afraid that we won't have much Baptism Energy left. "
Mu Chen took a deep breath. He was surprised by the pressure that Senior Winter gave him. Indeed, a Perfected Earth Sovereign was much stronger than a Greater Earth Sovereign, even a Greater Earth Sovereign like Ling Zhanzi.
However, it wouldn't be easy for Senior Winter to seize the Baptism Energy that belonged to them!
As he thought about it, a cold light flashed in Mu Chen's eyes and he abruptly formed seals with both of his hands. Space fluctuated behind him and two silhouettes appeared in a flash. It was the black-robed and white-robed Mu Chen.
When the two Mu Chen appeared, they immediately sat down and a boundless Spiritual Energy burst out, joining the defensive line to obstruct Senior Winter's invasion.
With the addition of the two Mu Chen's, Senior Winter's invasion had also weakened. Sometimes, a small region would take a long time before an outcome could be seen.
"This brat is truly troublesome!"
Senior Winter knitted his brows when he sensed this situation. He never expected that a mere Lesser Earth Sovereign like Mu Chen would be so troublesome.
If they were fighting head-on, then Senior Winter wouldn't be afraid of Mu Chen. Even if the latter had two clones, Senior Winter was still confident that he could defeat Mu Chen.
But right now, they were fighting for a share of the Baptism Energy. If he wanted to suppress Mu Chen with his Perfected Earth Sovereign cultivation, then it wouldn't be in line with the rules.
Thus, facing Mu Chen and Luo Li's obstruction, Senior Winter couldn't obtain an absolute advantage for the time being.
"Hmph, but I still have the advantage. It's just that the invasion has slowed down. If this goes on, I will still be able to obtain 70% in an incense's time, and that's more than enough."
Senior Winter sneered in his heart. Although Mu Chen's resistance prevented him from obtaining 80%, 70% was more than enough to satisfy him.
Thinking about this, Senior Winter suppressed the anxiety in his heart and circulated his Spiritual Energy to devour the Baptism Energy bit by bit.
Seeing that Mu Chen had stabilized the situation, Luo Li felt relieved, but her face was still solemn. That's because she could sense that despite their resistance, their share was still being devoured by Senior Winter. It's just that the speed was much slower than before.
"If this goes on, I'm afraid that we will only be able to maintain 30% of the Baptism Energy after an incense's time. That's too little for the two of us." Luo Li bit on her rosy lips. She had already made up her mind. If that happened, then she would give up on her share and leave the remaining Baptism Energy to Mu Chen. Otherwise, it's impossible for them to complete the baptism with less than 30% of the Baptism Energy.
Mu Chen had no idea about Luo Li's thoughts, but he maintained a calm expression. There wasn't the slightest trace of rage from his Spiritual Energy being devoured.
It's as if he had given up on the competition.
Senior Winter inwardly smiled in disdain. That brat was pretty tactful to know that it's impossible for the two of them to snatch the Baptism Energy from him.
"Seeing that this brat is tactful, I'll leave 30% for them, lest they say that I'm bullying the younger generation." Senior Winter grinned.
When the West Heaven Battle Emperor saw this scene, he slightly knitted his brows, since he knew that Mu Chen wasn't a weakling. No matter how powerful his opponent was, Mu Chen would still dare to fight. Otherwise, facing a Heavenly Sovereign like him, Mu Chen wouldn't even be bothered to show respect.
But why did he just stand there and endure Old Man Winter's aggression?
"Is he really giving up, or is he still holding back?"
The West Heaven Battle Emperor's gaze flickered. He couldn't imagine how Mu Chen could compete with an Earth Sovereign.
Time swiftly passed as the West Heaven Battle Emperor pondered.
The time it took for an incense to burn swiftly came to an end. Roughly seventy percent of the starry sky was occupied by Senior Winter with boundless ancient Spiritual Energy flowing in the region that he occupied.
"Haha!"
As time came to an end, Senior Winter couldn't hold back the pride in his heart and laughed. With 70% of the baptism, he finally had a trace of confidence in breaking through to the Heavenly Sovereign Realm in the future.
Luo Li clenched her fists and glanced at Mu Chen, but the latter's expression didn't fluctuate.
As time gradually passed, the ancient Spiritual Energy in the starry sky started to radiate with a lustre. Evidently, it was about to be converted into the Baptism Radiance.
Mu Chen's finger gently knocked on his knee. When he sensed that the time was about to arrive, a radiance burst out from his black pupils.
He abruptly stood up and clenched his fist. A crystal-like ancient longsword appeared in his hand.
With a longsword in hand, an indescribably powerful aura swept out like a deity as he slashed towards Senior Winter Snow from afar!
Whoosh!
A crystalline light streaked across the void, heading straight for Senior Winter Snow.
That sword was silent without any aura. But facing that sword, the smile on Senior Winter's face froze. In the next moment, fear climbed up his face.
That's because he could sense an unfathomable fluctuation coming from that sword. It was as if he was facing the West Heaven Battle Emperor!
That was the aura of a Heavenly Sovereign!
"Heavenly Sovereign?!"
Senior Winter Snow shrieked with his soul almost leaving his body. His body had practically retreated out of reflex and the Spiritual Energy that swept out was swiftly retracted, forming into countless layers of Spiritual Energy defences before him.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
As the crystallised lustre streaked across, the defences crumbled and Senior Winter's face turned even more pale. Just when the crystallised lustre was about to reach him, he unleashed a roar and the Spiritual Energy in his body burst out. He took a deep breath and in the next instant, a deep-blue current gushed out from his mouth.
That cold current might seem unremarkable, but when it flew out, even Senior Winter's eyes had dimmed down. Evidently, he had exhausted all of his energy.
Boom!
The deep-blue cold current and the crystal sword light collided. The cold current was the first to crumble, but when the cold current crumbled, the crystal sword light also dimmed a little. In the end, it shattered along with the dissipation of the cold current.
Sizzle!
The shattered lustre left a deep wound on Senior Winter's chest. However, he was stunned. He actually managed to block that sword that contained the aura of a Heavenly Sovereign?
At that moment, he really thought that he would die under that sword!
Although that sword was dangerous, it wasn't as terrifying as he had imagined.
Senior Winter was briefly stunned before he recovered and raised his head. His eyes widened when he saw that while he was shocked by that sword, Mu Chen had actually circulated his Spiritual Energy and snatched back his share!
At this moment, he was only left with 30% of his share!
"Bastard!"
Senior Winter roared and a terrifying Spiritual Energy burst out. But just when he was about to launch a counterattack, the ancient Spiritual Energy in this starry sky turned into a myriad foot of lustre that enveloped down and froze this entire space. Senior Winter's silhouette was like an insect in amber as he froze.
His body froze as he furiously looked in the direction of Mu Chen, only to see a ridiculing smile appearing on the latter's youthful face.
I have posted a short movie of the Great Ruler on my WeChat. The actor playing the role of Mu Chen is a handsome little fresh meat. Everyone can take a look.
