Amongst the four Battle Stages, the battles on the other three had already come to an end and the Spiritual Energy had calmed down. Only the one on the far right still had terrifying Spiritual Energy ripples spreading out, causing even space to slightly distort.
That was the Battle Stage between River Of Blood and Wu Ling.
Both teams had their own victories and defeats. If they were to be calculated based on points, both teams had two points each. That also meant that each of their members had obtained two victories and two losses. Therefore, their points were equal at this moment. In the end, it would depend on the battle between the two Captains that were still fighting to determine who would be able to enter the Best 4.
"That River Of Blood is truly formidable to actually be able to fight with Wu Ling to such an extent."
Shen Cangsheng and the rest had astonished expressions on their faces. Wu Ling was the most famous genius in the Wu Ling Courtyard. Furthermore, he had concealed his strength deeply in the elimination round and had never revealed his true strength. But even so, he still couldn't easily defeat River Of Blood.
"River Of Blood is the prince of the Blood God Clan. His foundation can only be stronger than Wu Ling, not weaker."
Luo Li said softly. She naturally had a good understanding of the Blood God Clan. Although Wu Ling was the grandson of the Wu Ling Courtyard's Dean, the foundation of the Wu Ling Courtyard couldn't be compared to the Blood God Clan.
"I really don't know who will win."
Mu Chen nodded his head. From a relationship point of view, he naturally hoped for Wu Ling to win. After all, he didn't have the slightest favourable impression of River Of Blood. Although he wanted to personally get rid of that fellow that had ill intentions towards Luo Li.
"This battle will be extremely intense."
Hearing his words, everyone nodded their heads as they stared at the huge Battle Stage without blinking.
At this moment, in this vast space, almost everyone's gazes were focused on that area, especially the students of the Wu Ling Academy. All of them had nervous expressions on their faces. Currently, Hokuang Reiwon, Holy Spirit House, and Wanhuang Lingyuan had all advanced to the top four. If the Wu Ling Academy were to fail here, they would definitely be defeated.
This was a huge blow to their morale.
Under everyone's gazes, two boundless Spiritual Energies violently clashed on the massive Battle Stage. Blood-red and dark-yellow, the Battle Stage was split into two distinct regions.
Xue Tianhe and Wu Ling's silhouettes were practically engulfed by the boundless Spiritual Energy. Only terrifying Spiritual Energy impacts could be seen, causing thunderous noises to erupt. Judging from the degree of Spiritual Energy impacts, the fight between the two of them could be seen.
The battle had almost reached its climax.
Roar!
Just as the two Spiritual Powers were colliding, a figure suddenly appeared.
On the Battle Stage
Suddenly, an enraged roar resounded. That roar didn't sound like a human's, but an ape's roar.
It was filled with violence as the sound waves spread out, causing the blood-red Spiritual Energy to be pushed back.
This scene instantly caused an uproar.
Mu Chen and Luo Li's eyes abruptly narrowed as they raised their heads and saw a huge figure suddenly appearing from the boundless dark-yellow Spiritual Energy. It was an illusory figure that was roughly a hundred feet in size. The illusory figure seemed to be a dark-yellow ape.
It held onto a huge black stick with a sinister expression. Its scarlet eyes were filled with violence and thirst for battle.
Along with the appearance of the ape, the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth seemed to be boiling.
"That's …"
Mu Chen's face couldn't help slightly changing at this moment.
He exclaimed, "The Divine War Ape that's ranked 15th on the Spiritual Beast Ranking?"
Beside him, Luo Li also revealed a surprised expression. It was evident that she didn't expect Wu Ling to have refined the Divine War Ape's Soul Essence. It seemed that Wu Ling's Courtyard was involved in this. Otherwise, with Wu Ling's strength, it would be impossible for him to refine such a powerful Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence.
"How terrifying. This Wu Ling actually hid such a trump card."
Shen Cangsheng and the others also exclaimed in admiration. Shortly after, they were a little envious. Such a powerful Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence wasn't something that ordinary people could enjoy. Not only did it require great luck, but it also required the help of a powerhouse. Otherwise, one would definitely be devoured by the Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence.
Although they had refined a Soul Essence when they were at the Spirit Stage, the Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence wasn't powerful. Therefore, as their strength increased, the power of the Soul Essence would gradually dissipate until it could no longer be used. Unless they were able to refine a powerful Spiritual Beast that was ranked at the top of the Spiritual Beast Ranking when they were at the Spirit Stage.
"River Of Blood can't hold on any longer."
Li Xuantong stared at the Battle Stage. Once Wu Ling had unleashed his hidden trump card, the deadlock would instantly be broken. The blood-red Spiritual Energy that blotted the skies seemed to be pushed back bit by bit. Clearly, if this situation continued, Wu Ling would definitely emerge victorious.
"It's not that simple."
Luo Li shook her head. Her beautiful eyes stared at the figure that was covered by the blood-red Spiritual Energy and a cold glint flashed through her eyes.
Mu Chen also stared at the Battle Stage. He also wanted to know what trump card River Of Blood was hiding. Facing the powerful Wu Ling, could he still win?
"Bang!"
Under the countless gazes, the giant ape that Wu Ling had transformed into waved the giant rod and swept it out. A large amount of blood-red Spiritual Energy was torn apart. Then, Wu Ling's rod shot out like a hurricane towards the figure that was hidden within the blood-red Spiritual Energy. Creak!
Creak!
Wu Ling did not show any mercy. Wherever the rod passed, faint traces were left behind in the space. The dense blood-red Spiritual Energy exploded.
The blood-red Spiritual Power that was originally as vast as the sea had been suppressed to only a few hundred feet. Furthermore, this Spiritual Power was on the verge of shattering under the wind created by the rod.
However, just when the giant rod was about to pierce through the blood-red Spiritual Energy, an unforeseen event occurred.
Boom!
A giant fist that was covered in blood-red scales suddenly burst out from the blood-red Spiritual Energy and clashed against the giant rod. In an instant, two frightening energies wreaked havoc, causing cracks to appear on the ground below.
As the gales wreaked havoc, everyone was shocked to see that Wu Ling, who had transformed into a giant ape, was sent flying back, leaving deep footprints on the ground beneath his feet.
"What?!"
Countless people cried out in shock as they looked at the blood-red Spiritual Energy in fear. Just what did the River Of Blood do to actually repel Wu Ling, who had transformed into a Divine War Ape?
At the same time, the faces of Shen Cangsheng and the rest had also changed.
Mu Chen's gaze was fixed on the blood-red Spiritual Energy. When the giant fist that was covered in blood-red scales had appeared, he could sense that the black egg that was the Jiu You Bird had transformed into had quietly moved.
"The River Of Blood actually refined the Soul Essence of a powerful Spiritual Beast?"
Mu Chen's gaze flickered as his face turned solemn.
Those fellows had truly concealed themselves deeply.
The blood-red Spiritual Energy gradually dissipated. As the Spiritual Energy dissipated, everyone could see a colossal figure slowly appearing. In the end, it became clear.
Hiss.
When the colossal figure became clear, countless people sucked in a mouthful of cold air.
It was a humanoid beast that was covered in blood-red scales. The body of the beast was covered in a thick layer of blood-red armour.
There were also blood-red bone spikes on its back.
It looked incomparably ferocious.
A ferocious aura spread out in all directions.
"What's that?"
"It's the Demonic Blood Beast that's ranked thirteenth on the Spiritual Beast Record's Earth Ranking." Luo Li said in a soft voice as her eyes were filled with coldness.
"The Demonic Blood Beast that's ranked thirteenth?" Mu Chen's heart trembled. It was said that the Demonic Blood Beast was one of the most ferocious Spiritual Beasts.
Furthermore, it was ranked thirteenth, only two ranks lower than the Jiu You Sparrow. Thus, one could see how powerful the Demonic Blood Beast was. However, it was an extremely ferocious Spiritual Beast. If it was refined, it would affect one's mind, causing the refiner to be infected with its ferocious nature.
"The Blood God Clan has a sea of blood that is condensed from the essence blood of countless people in the Blood God Clan.
They used it to form a contract with the Demonic Blood Beast Clan to strengthen their clan. "Luo Li's eyes were filled with deep hatred at this moment.
"All these years, the Blood God Clan has been wantonly attacking the territories of our Luo God Clan, capturing the citizens of our Luo God Clan to form a Blood Sea.
To nurture the Demonic Blood Beast! "
Mu Chen was stunned. Although he knew that the battle between clans would be brutal, he never imagined that the Blood God Clan would be so vicious. It was no wonder why Luo Li hated the Blood God Clan so much.
Mu Chen couldn't help feeling pity in his heart as he looked at the rosy young lady. The responsibility on her shoulders had far exceeded his expectations. The billions of citizens needed her protection, and she was willing to leave the Luo God Clan for two years to come to Hokuang Reiwon. This kind of sacrifice made Mu Chen feel a little suffocated in his heart.
She had always been silently sacrificing so much for him.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Chen extended his hand and held onto Luo Li's small hand. He didn't say anything, since he knew that the current him simply didn't have the slightest qualifications to confront a colossus like the Blood God Clan. However, there would be a day when he would flip the entire Blood God Clan upside down for her.
Luo Li could also sense Mu Chen's intentions. Her slightly ice-cold hands grabbed onto Mu Chen's hand as she felt slightly at ease in her heart. In the next instant, she spoke out in a soft voice, "Wu Ling is going to lose."
Mu Chen raised his head and saw that the situation on the stage had changed once again. Along with the River Of Blood activating the power of the Demonic Blood Beast, his strength had actually surpassed Wu Ling's. Facing the Demonic Blood Beast's fist, the massive ape was being pushed back.
This scene allowed everyone to understand that the final confrontation had already come to an end.
Boom!
Along with the final frantic clash, the Demonic Blood Beast was pushed back as the blood-red scales on his arm were shattered, while the massive ape was sent flying. His massive body rapidly shrunk in the air before he turned into a human figure and miserably slammed onto the stage, leaving a deep scar on the stage.
Wu Ling spat out a mouthful of blood with his clothes in tatters. He stared at the Demonic Blood Beast with unwillingness and sadness in his eyes. He never imagined that the River Of Blood would be so powerful.
In the sky, the Demonic Blood Beast rapidly shrunk and turned into the figure of the River Of Blood. He cast a mocking glance at Wu Ling before he crossed his arms and shifted his gaze. In the end, his gaze locked onto Mu Chen and Luo Li as a cruel smile slowly rose from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing his provocative smile, Mu Chen's eyes slightly narrowed. Shortly after, he slowly extended his thumb and turned it downwards.
Under the sunlight, the youth had a slender figure with a calm expression. However, his posture was filled with a heart-stirring arrogance and overbearingness.
