The grand King's Ceremony gradually came to an end under the countless sighs. Many experts of the Great Heaven Domain were sighing, since no one had expected that Mu Chen, whose cultivation was only at Third Grade Sovereign, would actually become the final winner!
ybdu!
Many sighs were filled with envy and shock, but there wasn't any contempt like before. That's because the strength that Mu Chen had displayed on the King's Ceremony Stage was sufficient to shock any expert of the Great Heaven Domain.
His cultivation at Fourth Grade Sovereign, in addition to his identity as an Earth-Grade Spiritual Array Grandmaster, could already be comparable to a Fifth Grade Sovereign. Even in the Great Heaven Domain, which was filled with experts, he could be considered as an elite.
Therefore, although many experts were envious that Mu Chen could become the tenth King of the Great Heaven Domain, no one was dissatisfied with it. After all, strength was everything, and the strength that Mu Chen had displayed was already worthy of the acknowledgement and respect of the experts of the Great Heaven Domain.
He was no longer the newbie that had just broken through to the Sovereign Realm when he entered the Great Heaven Domain a year ago.
Furthermore, the Jiu You Palace that stood behind Mu Chen could no longer be viewed in the same way as before. In the past, the Jiu You Palace was the weakest amongst the Nine Kings and had suffered a lot of disdain. But in the past year, the Jiu You Palace had risen and its reputation grew stronger. Most importantly, the current Jiu You Palace was the only force that possessed two Kings amongst the forces of the Great Heaven Domain!
That meant that the resources that the Jiu You Palace could obtain would be double of the other forces of the various Kings.
Under the support of such a huge amount of resources, the growth of the Jiu You Palace was practically evident.
Perhaps in the future …
The most powerful force in the Great Heaven Domain would also begin to change … Therefore, offending Mu Chen and Jiu You Palace at this time was obviously the most unwise move.
In this King's Ceremony, besides Mu Chen being the winner, the City Lord of Tianluo City, Qin Zhong, also obtained a lot of benefits. Although he was not directly conferred the title of King, Mandala took into account the fact that he had fought hard for the Great Heaven Domain.
He promised that he would help him break through to the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm. Furthermore, as long as he successfully broke through to the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, then after the Hunting War ended, he would be able to help him.
He would be crowned the Eleventh King of the Great Heaven Domain.
This gift had undoubtedly caused Qin Zhong to be incomparably excited, while the other experts were also envious. Furthermore, Mandala had also made use of this opportunity to explain.
In this Hunting War, everyone would be rewarded.
Those with contributions would definitely be rewarded. Furthermore, the rewards were something that even the Kings were tempted by, not to mention the experts below. Immediately, the morale of the entire Great Havenlaw Domain was roused with high fighting intent.
When Mu Chen saw this situation, he couldn't help inwardly smacking his lips. Mandala's method of controlling her subordinates was truly proficient.
She was truly worthy of being the sole ruler of the Great Heaven Domain.
After the King's Ceremony came to an end, Mu Chen stayed in the Jiu You Palace to cultivate, stabilizing the surging Spiritual Energy that had just broken through to the Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm.
Using it to stabilize the surging Spiritual Energy that he had just broken through to Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm. Aside from that, his energy was used to train the Nine Nether Troop. With the Hunting War approaching, Mu Chen could sense the tense and solemn atmosphere in the entire Great Havenlaw Domain.
Although their Great Heaven Domain was a peak force in the Northern Region, there would always be peak forces dying in every Hunting War and being devoured by other peak forces. The experts under them could only flee or join other forces. But those losers would suffer ridicule and disdain no matter where they went.
Therefore, the Hunting War was closely related to them. To not become stray dogs, they had to do their best to ensure the survival of the Great Heaven Domain in the Hunting War.
Therefore, in this period of time, the entire Great Heaven Domain was preparing for war. The atmosphere was oppressive and solemn.
With such an atmosphere, the Jiu You Palace was no exception. Although Mu Chen had already been bestowed the King title, the Jiu You Troop was still managed by him. Right now, the scale of the Jiu You Troop had expanded along with the development of the Jiu You Palace. In addition to the abundant cultivation resources from the Jiu You Troop, the strength of the Jiu You Troop could be considered as a truly powerful troop. Compared to a year ago, they were many times stronger.
According to Mu Chen's speculations, he might have to borrow the strength of the Jiu You Troop in the Hunting War. Therefore, he couldn't relax and had to quickly coordinate with this troop.
In a vast training ground in the Jiu You Palace.
Donned in black armour, the Jiu You Troop was like a tidal wave that filled the training ground. All of them quietly sat with a pitch-black Battle Will surging from their bodies and converged above them.
The Battle Will was like a black ocean surging with faint roars that caused the heavens and earth to slightly tremble.
Before the Jiu You Troop, Mu Chen sat on a massive stone lion with his hands joining together and his eyes closed. A surge of Spiritual Energy shot out from his body and charged into the boundless ocean of Battle Will above the Jiu You Troop.
His Spiritual Energy swam within the boundless Battle Will. If Mu Chen wanted to control the Battle Will of the Jiu You Troop, then he would have to make sure that the Battle Will of the Jiu You Troop wouldn't reject him.
In the past, the compatibility between Mu Chen and the Jiu You Troop was pretty good. But due to Mu Chen being busy with the Dragon-Phoenix Haven and the King's Ceremony, in addition to the expansion of the Jiu You Troop, his compatibility had started to fall behind. Now that he had the time, he naturally had to make the best use of it to familiarize himself with the Jiu You Troop.
Mu Chen's nurturing cultivation lasted for roughly two hours, before he finally opened his eyes and looked at the Nine Nether Troop, which was like a black ocean. Above them, the boundless Battle Will was as heavy as black clouds, vaguely emitting whistling sounds that were like thunder that intimidated the hearts of others.
Perhaps the strength of an individual of the Jiu You Troop wasn't anything to fear in Mu Chen's view. But when their Battle Wills were gathered together, even Mu Chen would feel a little pressured.
According to Mu Chen's estimations, with his current strength at Fourth Grade Sovereign, if he could borrow the Battle Will of the Nine Nether Troop, he could even easily suppress experts that had stepped into Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm for a long time.
"Although the Jiu You Troop is powerful, it's still far from being comparable to the Great Havenlaw Army."
Mu Chen stared at the Jiu You Troop and sighed. Although the strength of the Jiu You Troop was constantly growing, there was still a huge gap between them and the Great Havenlaw Army, the strongest troop in the Great Heaven Domain.
But it was precisely because the Great Havenlaw Army was too powerful that Mu Chen knew that it wouldn't be easy to control the Battle Will of the Great Havenlaw Army. It was so much so that Mu Chen estimated that even the Great Commander of the Great Havenlaw Army, Huo Mei 'er, might not be able to fully control the Battle Will of the Great Havenlaw Army.
The Great Havenlaw Army had nearly a thousand people and every single one of them possessed the strength of a Sovereign Realm. If such a terrifying Battle Will could be controlled, perhaps only Mandala and the three Emperors could suppress it in the Great Heaven Domain.
"In the Great Hunting War, it's probably the time for these troops to play their role."
Mu Chen muttered to himself. In the Great Hunting War, the strength of an individual would probably be greatly reduced. Unless they were as powerful as the three Emperors, they might not be able to influence the situation of the war. Therefore, at that time, they would have to rely on the overall strength of the army to change the situation.
"This Great Hunting War won't be easy."
Mu Chen raised his head and looked outside the Jiu You Palace and couldn't help letting out a sigh. As the Great Hunting War approached, he could clearly sense the change in the atmosphere in the Great Heaven Domain. The troops under the various Kings had been training all day and the killing intent could be sensed from far away. It was so much so that even the Jiu You Palace had started to cultivate in seclusion. Many matters in the Jiu You Palace were managed by Mu Chen, but fortunately, he had the help of Tang Bing. Otherwise, Mu Chen would even have thoughts of escaping.
But from this, one could see how cruel the Great Hunting War was. Even if they were from the Great Heaven Domain, they would still be in great danger. No one could guarantee that after this Great Hunting War, the Great Heaven Domain wouldn't exist in the Northern Region.
Thinking of this, Mu Chen's heart suddenly became heavy. He had been in the Great Heaven Domain for a year. Although there were people that made him unhappy, this place had, after all, provided him with protection, which allowed his strength to soar in this year.
Therefore, he was grateful to the Great Heaven Domain.
What's more, Mandala was the Domain Lord of the Great Heaven Domain. Mu Chen had a good impression of this two-faced Little Queen, who was adorable on the outside but two-faced on the inside. After all, Mandala had helped him a lot in the past year. Of course, most importantly, Mu Chen could feel that Mandala didn't treat him as a subordinate. Their friendship, to a certain extent, had surpassed their respective identities.
Therefore, if the Great Heaven Domain was defeated in this Great Hunting War and was subsequently devoured, it would be extremely unacceptable for Mu Chen.
"Looks like I have to contribute as much as possible."
Mu Chen smiled bitterly. His relationship with the Mysterious Sky Palace was extremely bad. If the Great Heaven Domain was gone, Liu Tiandao wouldn't let him off so easily.
Mu Chen shook his head and waved his hand, instructing the Jiu You Guard to continue cultivating.
Buzz.
But just as his hand descended, the space in front of him fluctuated, and a petite figure stepped out from the distorted space. She raised her hand, and ten jade bottles shot towards Mu Chen.
When the jade bottle shot towards Mu Chen, her immature voice that was mixed with hatred rang out.
"Take it, your ten types of Divine Beast Essence Blood."
"Damn you, in order to gather these ten types of Divine Beast Essence Blood, I have run all over the large auction houses in the Northern Region!"
