In this region, everyone raised their heads to look at the sky as a dense killing intent spread out. Under the influence of the killing intent, the temperature in this region had abruptly dropped.
It was the killing intent from the two Kings.
Up in the sky, Jiu You and Blood Hawk King stood opposite each other with exceptionally cold gazes. The enmity between the two of them had been going on for a long time and neither of them could see eye to eye with the other. If it wasn't for the fact that they were Kings of the Great Heaven Domain, they would have long fought to the death.
But looking at the current situation, the two of them seemed to be a little unable to hold back the killing intent in their hearts.
"I have long wanted to experience the might of Jiu You's Sparrow Clan. Today, I really want to experience it for myself." Blood Hawk King said in a dark voice as a ferocious light flashed in his eyes.
As he spoke, a blood-red storm swept out around him. The storm was filled with violent and boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuations that were like blades that wreaked havoc in this region.
"Then, you can come and give it a try."
Jiu You responded with a sneer as the purple flames that shrouded his body abruptly expanded. His hair danced in the purple flames as a terrifying temperature spread out.
When everyone saw the formation of the two of them, their faces couldn't help changing. If Jiu You and Blood Hawk King were to fight, the influence would be far greater than a battle between Domain Lords.
In the Great Heaven Domain, a Domain Lord couldn't be considered as a mainstay. However, someone like Blood Hawk King and Jiu You could be considered as a mainstay.
"Enough!"
It was precisely because of this that a bark resounded as the two of them confronted each other. A gentle fluctuation swept out, causing the violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations around Nine Nether and the Blood Hawk King to be suppressed back into the bodies of the two of them.
Everyone directed their gazes over and saw the Sky Vulture Emperor frowning his brows as he looked at the two of them. "Have you forgotten the rules of my Great Heaven Domain?"
In the Great Heaven Domain, the king couldn't directly intervene in the conflicts between factions. He could only let his subordinates fight. This way, the competition could be maintained, and the king's existence could be preserved as much as possible.
When the Blood Hawk King saw the Sky Vulture Emperor making a move, he knew that he wouldn't be able to deal with Jiu You today. He cast a glance at Cao Feng, who was practically crippled, and couldn't swallow this anger in his heart. Immediately, he coldly looked at Mu Chen and said, "Cao Feng has already been defeated, but this Mu Chen is still so ruthless. I feel that he should be stripped of his qualifications."
Mu Chen's eyes turned cold when he heard that.
"Dream on!" Jiu You sneered, "Blood Hawk King, have you gone senile?
As long as no one admits defeat, the battle will continue. Not to mention that Cao Feng is heavily injured, even if he is killed, he can only blame himself and not others! "
"Then it's impossible for my Blood Hawk Hall to swallow this anger!" The Blood Hawk King didn't give in and retorted.
When the Sky Vulture Emperor saw the two of them arguing, his brows knitted. The Spiritual Pupils Emperor faintly smiled, "Why don't we replace Mu Chen for the time being to appease the Blood Hawk King's anger. We'll find an opportunity to compensate him after this."
Mu Chen's face slightly changed. His objective was the Greatlaw Goldpond. Now that he had come here with great difficulty, how could he give it up so easily? Furthermore, the so-called compensation in the future wasn't something that he could trust.
Although there was some anger in his heart, Mu Chen didn't recklessly express anything at this moment. Right now, his status in the Great Heaven Domain was too low. There was no need for him to cause unnecessary trouble for Jiu You just because of a moment of anger.
Heavens!
The Vulture Emperor frowned his brows. "If we do this, then who would dare to participate in the Greatlaw Goldpond's competition in the future?"
"Haha, is there a lack of people that want to enter the Greatlaw Goldpond?" The Spiritual Pupils Emperor smiled.
Hearing the two of them arguing, the Sleeping Emperor, who had been silent all this while, lightly smiled. "Old rules, let's continue."
The Sky Vulture Emperor and the Spiritual Pupils Emperor were both stunned. After all, the Sleeping Emperor rarely participated in their disputes. It was rare for him to take the initiative to speak out.
Furthermore, the Sleeping Emperor's words were clearly helping Mu Chen.
A smear of darkness flashed across the depths of the Spiritual Pupils Emperor's eyes. Although he was also one of the three Emperors, he knew that the Sleeping Emperor was unfathomable. Most importantly, the Sleeping Emperor was the most trusted person of the Domain Lord. Therefore, it wasn't good for him to refute the Sleeping Emperor's words. Immediately, he smiled. "Since even Brother Meng has said so, then let's continue according to the rules."
The Blood Hawk King's face was ashen, but he did not dare to speak anymore. He could only coldly snort towards Mu Chen, before waving his hand and flew down from the sky.
Jiu You was also a little astonished as he cast a glance at the Sleeping Emperor. He first thanked the Sleeping Emperor and nodded his head before looking at Mu Chen with a smile. "Your performance is pretty good. Whatever opportunities you can obtain in the Greatlaw Goldpond will depend on you."
Mu Chen smiled as he nodded his head. Seeing this, Jiu You did not speak anymore as he turned around and flew down.
Mu Chen looked at Jiu You's silhouette as she turned around and left, before turning his head and cupping his fists towards the Sky Vulture Emperor and the Sleeping Emperor. In the end, his figure moved as he descended towards the Greatlaw Goldstage.
On the Greatlaw Goldstage, several gazes were fixed on Mu Chen's descending silhouette.
Xu Qing and Zhou Yue's gazes were filled with astonishment. The strength that Mu Chen had displayed earlier had made them feel a little fearful in their hearts. Although they were stronger than Cao Feng, if the latter were to risk his life, he could still cause quite a bit of trouble for them.
But Mu Chen could bear it. Just this point alone was sufficient for Xu Qing and the rest to pull Mu Chen to the same level as them.
When Mu Chen descended on the Greatlaw Goldstage, there was a violent Spiritual Energy fluctuation that exploded not far away. Thereafter, a figure miserably flew out as he swiftly retreated while rubbing the ground.
Mu Chen's figure appeared behind that figure as he placed his hand on that figure's shoulder, helping him dissipate the force.
That figure turned his head over, it was Fang Lei. When he saw Mu Chen, his face was pale as he bitterly smiled. Previously, when Mu Chen and Cao Feng were fighting, he had also fought with Wu Tian. But clearly, he had lost in the end.
Up ahead, a light figure condensed as Wu Tian appeared. His gaze was a little dark as he looked at Mu Chen. But this time, there was a little fear in the depths of his eyes.
Although he was fighting with Fang Lei, Wu Tian had clearly paid attention to Cao Feng's situation. Furthermore, the shocking fighting strength that Mu Chen had displayed was sufficient to make him feel fearful in his heart.
Wu Tian wasn't a fool. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the Commander that the Blood Hawk King had placed so much importance on. Therefore, he had retracted his underestimation of Mu Chen and had genuinely treated him as an opponent that could rival him.
"I've lost. Brother Mu Chen, I hope that you can reap some harvest in the Greatlaw Goldpond."
Fang Lei was straightforward as he smiled towards Mu Chen and left the Greatlaw Goldstage.
Although he was unhappy with Wu Tian, he understood that he lost to the latter due to his lack of skill. Therefore, he did not recklessly ask for Mu Chen's help.
Mu Chen watched him leave, before calmly returning to his position. Although he was also unhappy with Wu Tian, he understood that it wasn't a good time to continue fighting. Previously, he had already exhausted quite a bit of Spiritual Energy to deal with Cao Feng. Right now, he wasn't in a good state, so there was no need for him to take the risk. After all, the four quotas had already appeared.
Similarly, Wu Tian did not mock Mu Chen anymore as he returned with a dark expression. He initially wanted to take this opportunity to challenge Zhou Yue to increase his ranking. However, who could have expected that Mu Chen would suddenly jump out? Therefore, he did not dare to recklessly make a move, in case Mu Chen took advantage of him.
The four of them stood at the four corners of the Greatlaw Goldstage in silence, minding their own business.
Countless gazes looked at the four silhouettes on the Greatlaw Goldstage as they sighed. They knew that the four of them were the Four Great Commanders of the Great Heaven Domain. Aside from Mu Chen, the new dark horse, the other three were veterans.
As the atmosphere on the Greatlaw Goldstage quietened down, the Sky Vulture Emperor and the other two exchanged a glance in the sky. Thereafter, the Sky Vulture Emperor's aged voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
"The final four quotas for the Greatlaw Goldpond have appeared. Now, accept the golden talisman."
"Asura Palace, Xu Qing!"
Hearing the Sky Vulture Emperor's roar, Xu Qing took a step forth with a calm expression. A golden light descended from the sky, turning into a golden talisman that fell into Xu Qing's hand.
"Mountain Splitting Palace, Zhou Yue!"
"Blood Hawk Hall, Wu Tian!"
The other two also took a step forth. Golden light enveloped over as the golden talisman descended.
The Sky Vulture Emperor's gaze fell onto Mu Chen as a smile appeared on his aged face. "Jiu You Palace, Mu Chen."
Mu Chen took a step forth as golden light gathered over, turning into a golden talisman in his palm. There seemed to be a peculiar fluctuation being emitted from the golden talisman. Furthermore, the origin of the fluctuation seemed to be on the peak of the mountain.
That was the location of the Greatlaw Goldpond.
"From today onwards, the four of them will be the new Four Great Domain Lords of our Great Heaven Domain!"
When the Sky Vulture Emperor's voice rang out, earth-shattering cheers instantly burst out in this region. No matter what, the four of them could be considered as the elites amongst the younger generations of their Great Heaven Domain.
Their strength had obtained everyone's acknowledgement.
When the Sky Vulture Emperor heard the cheers, he faintly smiled as he directed his gaze towards the peak of the Goldpond Peak. The golden light was still pouring down, but this time, the golden light had avoided Mu Chen's group of four, who were holding onto the golden talismans.
"Now, ascend to the peak."
Along with the Sky Vulture Emperor waving his hand, the gazes of Mu Chen's group of four instantly blazed. Shortly after, their feet abruptly stomped as their silhouettes burst forth. Under countless envious gazes, they charged through the golden light, turning into streaks of light as they charged towards the peak of the majestic Goldpond!
The Greatlaw Goldpond had finally opened for them!
