"Mu Chen won!"
On the stone platform of the Jiu You Palace, Tang Bing and Tang Rou were stunned as they looked at the screen. The youth's silhouette had already gradually left. Only at this moment, did they recover from the shock. Immediately, joy burst forth in their eyes. Tang Rou couldn't help cheering. Even Tang Bing, who had pretty good composure, had pursed her lips and softly chuckled.
The strength that Mu Chen had displayed had caused others to be extremely surprised.
The four leaders of Mt Mang had some fame in the Great Heaven Domain and their strengths were pretty good. If the four of them joined forces, they could even confront a Second Grade Sovereign expert. But right now, they had suffered such a heavy loss in the hands of Mu Chen.
The performance of that youth had made everyone raise their eyebrows.
In the Jiu You Troop, Qiu Shan and the rest had their eyes filled with astonishment. Their admiration for Mu Chen grew even denser in their hearts. No matter where it was, strength was the most important principle. If their Jiu You Troop could have such a Commander, then it might not be a bad thing.
"The Battle of the Mountain Ascension has just begun. If he can't obtain the final quota, then it's useless, no matter how outstanding his performance is." Jiu You was the calmest as she cast a glance at the two happy sisters and smiled.
"How can it be useless? Mu Chen is, after all, a little younger. Furthermore, he has just come to the Great Heaven Domain, so it's understandable if he fails. Even if he fails this time, he will definitely be able to obtain the championship easily next time." Tang Rou explained. She must be feeling indignant for Mu Chen. After all, he had already done a good job.
Tang Bing, who was by the side, did not speak. Compared to Tang Rou, she was naturally more mature. Although she knew that Mu Chen had done a pretty good job, reality was cruel. No matter how outstanding you were, you would still be the center of attention in the end.
In the end, there would only be those that stood at the peak.
As for those failures who had become stepping stones, no one would pay attention to them.
If Mu Chen didn't get the spot in the end, perhaps the shock he caused earlier would disappear in an instant. At most, some people would feel a little sorry for him.
Then, he would forget about it, because at that time, he would only be a loser.
Jiu You looked at the two girls whose cheers had suddenly weakened. Her red lips curved slightly, and she stared at the huge Spiritual Energy light screen as she muttered, "But Mu Chen won't lose so easily …"
While the region of the Jiu You Palace was filled with cheers, the region of the Blood Hawk Hall was a little quiet. The atmosphere was a little strange as many experts of the Blood Hawk Hall looked at each other.
Shortly after, they sneaked a glance at the Blood Hawk King, who sat on the throne without any expression. They did not dare to disturb him at this moment because they could sense that the latter's aura was extremely strong.
His heart was filled with towering rage.
Crack.
On the throne, the armrest that the Blood Hawk King was holding onto quietly cracked. His chest heaved up and down as he suppressed the rage in his heart.
"Indeed, four pieces of trash!"
He muttered to himself as he stared at the Spiritual Energy light screen.
A sharp and chilling aura surged. Shortly after, he leaned against the throne with an indifferent expression.
Although it was a little out of his expectations that Mu Chen could break through the blockade of the four Sovereigns of Mt Mang, it didn't matter. As long as Mu Chen couldn't obtain the final spot, all his efforts would be in vain.
His efforts would only be in vain.
The battle of the Greatlaw Goldpond had just begun.
On the majestic Golden Pond Peak, the golden torrent continued to pour down from all directions. That galloping manner caused quite a number of people to feel terrified in their hearts.
Fortunately, it wasn't directed at a single person. Otherwise, not to mention First and Second Grade Sovereigns like them, even the Nine Kings wouldn't be able to reach the peak.
At this moment, on the golden sea of trees, two figures stood on the sea of trees. Their gazes were directed far away, where an intense battle had broken out between Mu Chen and the four leaders of Mt Mang.
"Mu Chen actually defeated the four Sovereigns of Mt Mang?"
Wu Tian lightly knitted his brows as he looked into the distance. Previously, they had also witnessed the battle. The means that Mu Chen had executed was indeed extremely powerful. It was no wonder why he could instantly kill a First Grade Sovereign.
Wu Tian frowned his brows as he smiled, "Now, this will be interesting."
He was indeed astonished that Mu Chen could defeat four First Grade Sovereigns. But that was all. With his current strength, it wasn't difficult for him to achieve this. In his eyes, the four Sovereigns of Mt Mang weren't much of a threat.
The difference between the grades of Sovereigns wasn't something that could be easily made up with quantity.
"Looks like even the heavens are giving me a chance." Cao Feng narrowed his eyes as he faintly smiled.
"Haha, it's a good opportunity for others to witness the gap between the old and new Commanders of the Jiu You Troop."
Wu Tian smiled as he continued, "But, let's not bother about him for now. Let's ascend the peak first. This time, I will see if I can increase my position a little."
As he spoke, he turned his head towards the depths of the Goldpond Peak and licked his lips. He looked like a starving wolf that wouldn't give up until he reached his target.
"Oh?"
Cao Feng's brows twitched as he said, "You intend to make a move against Zhou Yue?"
Right now, Wu Tian was ranked third amongst the Four Great Domain Lords. If he could defeat Zhou Yue, then his position would rise by a rank. However, Zhou Yue was a great general under the Mountain Splitting King, with outstanding contributions all these years. He could be considered as an influential figure in the Great Heaven Domain, a genuine formidable opponent.
Although Cao Feng had borrowed the resources of the Blood Hawk Hall and his strength had soared, he understood that it would be hard for him to shake the ranking of the Four Great Domain Lords in a short period of time. However, if it was Wu Tian, perhaps he might have the ability to do so.
"This third position doesn't feel too good."
Wu Tian parted his mouth into a smile, revealing his densely white teeth. Without further ado, he waved his sleeve and his body rushed out. He was like an eagle as he tore apart the golden torrent and rushed towards the mountain peak with lightning like speed.
When Cao Feng saw this scene, he immediately followed up. Along the way, they encountered some experts, but the latter did not dare to provoke them. After all, two of the Four Great Domain Lords were here, so clashing with them would undoubtedly be courting death.
When Wu Tian and Cao Feng started to ascend the mountain once again, there were two silhouettes standing in the sky in two different locations. Judging from their appearances, they were the first and second amongst the Four Great Domain Lords, Xu Qing and Zhou Yue.
They looked at the location of Mu Chen's battle as a trace of shock flashed across their eyes. However, they did not say anything, only a little interest was revealed in their eyes. Looks like there will be some changes in the competition of the Greatlaw Goldpond this time.
While everyone's attention was focused on Mu Chen's previous battle, as the main character of this matter, he had already pushed his speed to the limits as he rushed towards the peak of the mountain.
Roar!
Within the vast golden current, a vague dragon roar resounded as a dragon figure shuttled through space and swam within the golden current. That speed had directly surpassed some of the experts up ahead.
When those experts that were surpassed saw this, their faces changed. They hesitated for a brief moment, but in the end, they did not take action. That's because they did not have the confidence to defeat an expert that could defeat the Four Sovereigns of Mount Mang.
That dragon figure was naturally formed by Mu Chen. Back then, Mu Chen had obtained a Movement Divine Art called the Dragon Soaring Art from the White Dragon Sovereign. At the beginning, that Divine Art had provided quite a bit of help to Mu Chen. But as his strength rose, the effects of the Dragon Soaring Art gradually weakened, until he successfully stepped into the Sovereign Realm.
After stepping into the Sovereign Realm, Mu Chen was finally able to execute the highest level of the Dragon Soaring Art, the Dragon Soaring. Reaching this level, he could form a dragon figure and borrow its miraculous power to tear through space for a short distance. Previously, the reason why he could avoid the inescapable net of the Four Sovereigns of Mount Mang was because of the power of the Dragon Soaring Art.
Right now, Mu Chen was confident that if he executed the Dragon Soaring Art with his full strength, not even a Second Grade Sovereign would be able to catch up to him.
It was also by relying on this speed that Mu Chen broke away from the second tier in less than ten minutes and caught up to the first tier.
After experiencing the previous battle, he no longer needed to conceal his strength. The strength that he had displayed would make anyone that wanted to touch him reconsider.
Rustle!
The dragon figure streaked across, causing space to distort. In a flash, it appeared a thousand feet away. Within the dragon figure, Mu Chen swept his gaze around. This place was already starting to approach the peak of the Goldpond Peak.
In his senses, there seemed to be a total of over twenty Spiritual Energy fluctuations in this region. Every single one of them was extremely powerful. Compared to those Sovereign experts that he had encountered before, they were clearly even sharper.
The experts that were able to enter the first tier were naturally the cream of the crop amongst the mountain climbers.
Mu Chen raised his head and looked into the distance. There was a dazzling golden platform there. Golden light circulated on the platform, as if it was forged from gold. He knew that it was the Greatlaw Goldstage, the only path towards the Greatlaw Goldpond.
Only by passing through there, would he be qualified to ascend to the peak.
With a tap of his feet, the dragon figure that was formed from his figure flew out. However, just when he flew out a hundred feet, his figure abruptly stopped. The dragon figure dissipated and turned into a human figure.
Mu Chen stood in the sky as he narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze around. In this vast sea of trees, there were numerous figures quietly standing a certain distance away from each other.
Those figures all had sharp gazes, like eagles and falcons. Boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuated around them, as if it was attracting violent gales.
Those people all possessed the qualifications to head towards the Greatlaw Goldstage. However, there weren't many spots there. Therefore, if they wanted to head over, they would have to use absolute strength.
Mu Chen looked at those figures with fluttering robes and sharp gazes. He couldn't help lightly licking his lips as blazing fighting intent burst out from his black pupils.
This is the final step, no one can stop me!
