The space before Mu Chen fluctuated like ripples on water as a petite silhouette slowly appeared. When he saw that silhouette, Mu Chen's tensed body had completely loosened up.
"Bam!"
Mandala appeared before Mu Chen with a cold expression and indifference in her golden pupils as she looked at the Spiritual Energy Lion that was charging over. Shortly after, she stretched her hand out and gently patted the lion.
Boom!
It was just a casual slap and the Spiritual Energy Fury Lion, which even a Fifth Grade Sovereign would find troublesome, had shattered like fragile glass.
There wasn't the slightest expression on Mandala's face as she made a grabbing motion with her hand. The speck of light gathered in her palm and turned into a ball of Spiritual Energy. In her hand, the violent Spiritual Energy was as docile as a sheep.
Fiddling with the Spiritual Energy light lump, she raised her eyes and coldly looked at Qiu Taiyin, whose face had instantly turned pale, before she faintly said, "Mysterious Sky Lion Seal?
How did this unique item of the Sky Profound Palace appear in your hands? "
All the commotion in the surroundings had disappeared as countless gazes were fixed on Qiu Taiyin. Right now, the Great Heaven Domain and the Sky Profound Palace could be considered enemies, but Qiu Taiyin possessed a unique item of the Sky Profound Palace. So how could they not be suspicious?
Qiu Taiyin looked at Mandala's expressionless face as his body uncontrollably trembled. His face was pale. When he had brought out the Profound Sky Lion Seal, he was already filled with regret. He never expected that he would be angered to this extent by Mu Chen.
"Domain Lord … Domain Lord, the Profound Sky Lion Seal was obtained from the experts of the Sky Profound Palace that I killed in my previous mission."
Qiu Taiyin braced himself and said.
"Really?"
Mandala looked at Qiu Taiyin with her big golden eyes. Sensing her gaze, the latter felt a chill down his spine.
"If you want to activate this kind of Mysterious Sky Lion Seal, then you have to use it.
That requires a unique method to activate it. Even in the Mysterious Sky Palace, only a few elders possess such a method. According to what you said earlier, you killed an elder of the Mysterious Sky Palace? "
Mandala's tender voice seemed to contain an icy chill. "May I know which Mysterious Sky Hall elder you have killed?
Also, why didn't they report such a great merit?
If you really killed an elder of the Mysterious Sky Palace, even if you lose today, I will allow you to be bestowed the title of King.
“
Qiu Taiyin's body started to tremble.
Cold sweat kept pouring out, almost drenching his clothes. He could feel Mandala's golden eyes staring at him.
It made him feel incomparable fear.
The heavens and earth were silent as countless gazes stared at Qiu Taiyin. The terrifying pressure caused Qiu Taiyin's rationality to rapidly crumble.
Boom!
When Qiu Taiyin could no longer bear the pressure.
He finally roared uncontrollably.
The Spiritual Energy violently burst out from his body as he turned into a streak of light and bolted out of the Greatlaw Sky.
Mandala icily gazed at Qiu Taiyin, who had lost control and was fleeing. With a gentle wave of her hand, the surrounding space froze, while Qiu Taiyin's body was like a mosquito wrapped in amber, unable to move...
Mandala flicked her finger.
Qiu Taiyin fiercely shot towards the King's Conferral Stage, and his entire body was embedded into the ground.
Furthermore, the Spiritual Energy in his body had been completely dispersed by Mandala and he could no longer move.
"Bring him away. Looks like the Sky Profound Palace has planted many moths in my Great Heaven Domain. I believe that he might know something."
Mandala faintly said. Instantly, the Law Enforcement Team flew over and carried Qiu Taiyin, whose Spiritual Energy had been dispersed, away.
Countless experts looked at Qiu Taiyin, who was being brought away, before looking at Mandala's cold face. For a moment, no one dared to make a sound, because they could sense the rage in Mandala's heart.
Mandala looked down at all the experts in this region and her indifferent voice rang out in everyone's ears, "The Hunting War is coming, and all of you should know what it means. Even if our Great Heaven Domain is a peak force in the Northern Region, we might still be devoured in the Hunting War. If the Great Heaven Domain no longer exists, then all of you will lose your status and protection."
Countless experts felt a chill in their hearts. In a place as cruel as the Northern Region, without the protection of a powerful force, it was too dangerous to cultivate by yourself.
"So, if you don't want to lose your protection and become the prey of others, then show your loyalty. As long as you're loyal to someone of the Great Heaven Domain, I will definitely not mistreat you."
"We will follow the Domain Ruler's teachings."
Countless experts respectfully responded with revere in their voices. The reason why they could stand in the Northern Region and rely on the resources to cultivate was because of the protection of an Earth Sovereign like Mandala.
Mu Chen quietly watched this scene with shock in his heart from the power of an Earth Sovereign Realm powerhouse. Only such a powerhouse could stand tall and protect a region.
Mandala's golden pupils looked at Mu Chen. "Since the outcome of the King's Ceremony has been decided, then I will announce that from today onwards, Mu Chen will be the tenth King of our Great Heaven Domain."
Countless envious gazes were directed at Mu Chen. At such a young age, he could actually become a King of the Great Heaven Domain. Such an achievement was truly extraordinary.
The various Kings also sighed and nodded their heads. The Blood Hawk King stared at Mu Chen with fear and a trace of regret in his eyes. He clearly did not expect Mu Chen's growth to be so swift. If he knew about it, he wouldn't have gone to look for trouble with Mu Chen back then.
Provoking such an opponent with such potential was clearly a foolish thing to do.
"You've become the tenth King and possess the qualifications to establish your own force."
Mandala looked at Mu Chen. Generally speaking, as long as one became a King, they would obtain a large amount of resources in the Great Heaven Domain. Those resources were sufficient for Mu Chen to establish a force comparable to the other nine Kings. Naturally, it required time to develop.
Many gazes gathered on Mu Chen, especially the many people from the Jiu You Palace. All of them stared at him, their eyes filled with uneasiness and reluctance.
Because once Mu Chen established his force, he would have to leave the Jiu You Palace, and also get rid of his identity as the Commander of the Jiu You Palace. At that time, no matter how compatible the force he established was with the Jiu You Palace, there would always be some differences compared to the current family.
Although Mu Chen had only been in the Great Heaven Domain for a year, everyone in the Jiu You Palace knew that if it wasn't for Mu Chen's numerous battles of life and death, the status of the Jiu You Palace would not have risen so quickly.
"Haha, Mu Chen is truly formidable. He's going to be bestowed the title of King so quickly." Tang Rou's heart was purer. At this moment, she chuckled as she felt happy for Mu Chen.
When Tang Bing heard her words, she rolled her eyes at her simple-minded sister, before crossing her arms in front of her chest. She was a little angry and did not even bother to look at the awe-inspiring Mu Chen. That's because she knew that losing Mu Chen was a considerable blow to the Nine Nether Palace. Although she knew that it wasn't Mu Chen's fault, since there was a huge gap between the status of a King and a Commander.
On the other hand, Jiu You was the calmest. Not only was she not worried, but she even looked at Mu Chen with a smile. The relationship between her and Mu Chen was too deep, and the Bloodline Bond made them one. Therefore, she didn't care about Mu Chen establishing his own force.
In the sky, Mu Chen was also stunned by Mandala's words. Shortly after, he looked at the Jiu You Palace and the numerous gazes that were looking at him. He immediately smiled and said, "I don't need to establish a force. I'll stay in the Jiu You Palace. This shouldn't affect my access to resources, right?"
He had been in the Nine Nether Palace for a year, so he clearly understood how troublesome it was to establish a force. If he placed all his energy on this, it would definitely affect his cultivation. Therefore, he naturally couldn't lose the bigger picture for the sake of a small thing and ruin his future for a so-called force.
Furthermore, he could practically use the power in the Jiu You Palace. No matter what he wanted to do, the Jiu You Palace wouldn't obstruct him at all. Therefore, there was no need for him to separate from the Jiu You Palace.
Mu Chen felt that it was natural for him to do so. However, he didn't know that when his words spread out, it instantly caused many experts to be dumbfounded. Clearly, this was the first time that they had seen someone give up on establishing a force. After all, as long as he established his own force, it would mean that he would have his own army. Speaking from a certain degree, that army would completely belong to him.
The Jiu You Palace was also dumbfounded. However, it was swiftly broken by the sudden cheers. Everyone in the Jiu You Palace was looking at Mu Chen with excitement and fervor in their eyes. Clearly, they did not expect that Mu Chen would give up on the opportunity to establish his own force and stay in their Jiu You Palace.
Tang Bing was also stunned as she couldn't help looking at Mu Chen and puckered her lips, "What a fool."
Although she said that, the joy in her eyes couldn't be concealed. That fellow still had some conscience. It wasn't a waste for her to gather Sovereign Spiritual Liquids for his cultivation.
Jiu You also smiled. Although she wasn't surprised by the answer, her gaze that was looking at Mu Chen had clearly turned even more gentle.
Up in the sky, Mandala was also looking at Mu Chen with astonishment as she smiled, "Up to you. Although you gave up on establishing your own force, those resources will be added to the Jiu You Palace. Naturally, you can use them as you wish."
Mu Chen nodded his head as he approached Mandala and whispered, "Compared to those things, I'm more concerned about the reward for this mission … hehe."
As he spoke, Mu Chen chuckled as he rubbed his fingers towards Mandala. Right now, what he wanted the most was naturally the ten Divine Beast's Blood Essences that he needed to cultivate the Dragon-Phoenix Sutra.
Mandala looked at Mu Chen, who was drooling, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She could only roll her eyes at him.
"Don't worry, I won't forget about you."
