When Lin Ming slowly walked out from behind the Heavenly Evil King, countless gazes were practically directed at him in an instant. Those gazes were filled with shock and fear.
* * *
A month ago, not many people knew of Lin Ming's name. But right now, his ferocious name was comparable to many top-tiered powerhouses here.
That's because, aside from Zhantai Liuli, it's said that all the other Commanders who fought against him had lost their talent in controlling Battle Will and became cripples.
Facing such a vicious outcome, the Battle Will geniuses of the various forces in the Fallen Battlefield feared Lin Ming of the Netherworld Palace the most.
That's because they knew that the moment their talent in Battle Will was crippled, their positions in their respective forces would plummet, and the outcome was too terrifying.
Thus, when many forces saw Lin Ming, their eyelids twitched.
Under the countless gazes filled with hatred and fear, Lin Ming stood beside the Heavenly Evil King and looked at the Asura King with a faint smile. "Asura King, I'm afraid that the effect of saying that both sides will be gravely injured in this situation won't be as good as you've imagined. That's because you can't bear the consequences as well."
The Asura King's eyes flashed with a cold light as he indifferently looked at Lin Ming.
"You guys have some means today to pull the Myriad Saint Mountain and Demon Gate over. Looks like it's impossible for us to annihilate your Great Heaven Domain."
Lin Ming tilted his head and his gaze was like a venomous snake.
It was directed at Mu Chen, who was standing behind the Asura King. Shortly after, he waved his hand and Battle Will soared into the sky from the Netherworld Palace's party.
Instantly, Battle Will soared into the sky and formed into Battle Will chains that bound a silhouette in the centre.
Taking a closer look, that silhouette was the Glacier King, who had fallen into a coma.
"But if you guys want to save him, then we'll have to see if you guys have the ability to do so!"
The Asura King coldly looked at Lin Ming.
"If you guys want to start a war, then my Great Heaven Domain will accompany you to the end!"
Lin Ming's eyelids drooped slightly as he said indifferently, "I've already said it before.
So, you don't have to threaten me with war anymore. Now that the Glacier King is in my hands, it's easy for me to kill him. "
"And after I killed him.
If the Great Heaven Domain wants to start an all-out war.
My Nether Palace isn't a pushover either. Let's see who will have the last laugh. "
Lin Ming was obviously a ruthless and decisive person. He knew that both sides would have to pay a huge price to start a war on such an occasion, and the Great Heaven Domain probably didn't have the determination to pay such a price for the sake of the Glacier King.
The Asura King's eyes were filled with killing intent as he stared at Lin Ming as if he wanted to swallow the latter whole.
The terrifying Spiritual Energy pressure of a Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm expert slowly spread out.
However, the Asura King's anger did not erupt.
Mu Chen had stopped him and their gazes intertwined. The Asura King deeply inhaled a mouthful of air, suppressing the rage in his heart, while Mu Chen took a step forth.
Along with Mu Chen taking a step forth, many gazes were fixed onto him and whispers resounded.
"That's the new King of the Great Heaven Domain, Mu Chen?
A Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm cultivation is only at the bottom amongst the various Kings. "
"What a joke, don't you know that in the Death Ruin, Mu Chen led the Great Heaven Domain and became the greatest winner? Not only did he cripple the arm of the Sky Profound Palace's Battle Will genius, Xiao Tian, even the famous Zhantai Liuli suffered a loss in his hands."
"It's said that Mu Chen is also a Battle Formation Master, but I wonder how he compares to Lin Ming."
"… …"
Many voices resounded in this region, causing the faces of Liu Yan of the Sky Profound Palace and Xiao Tian, who stood behind him, to turn pale. Especially the latter, he looked at Mu Chen as if he wanted to tear him apart.
Zhantai Liuli maintained a calm expression as she looked at Mu Chen. She could vaguely sense that the current Mu Chen was even more dangerous than the last time they met.
Clearly, Mu Chen's strength had also greatly improved in the past month.
"Lin Ming has also obtained the inheritance of a Battle Formation Master. Furthermore, the will technique that he cultivates is extremely bizarre. His will has been constantly growing during this period of time and is a great enemy. I wonder what are the chances of Mu Chen winning against him."
Zhantai Liuli's gaze flickered. She had once fought with Lin Ming, so she knew how troublesome the latter was. Back then, if it wasn't for the fact that she had obtained the complete inheritance of the Sky Formation Emperor, it wouldn't be easy for her to fight with Lin Ming.
Furthermore, the crucial point was that as Lin Ming constantly sought out Battle Will geniuses as his targets, his will seemed to be getting stronger, which made Zhantai Liuli feel fearful.
Under the whispers, Lin Ming had also narrowed his eyes as he looked at Mu Chen's silhouette, before a smile-yet-not-a-smile arc rose on the corner of his lips. "You're the so-called Battle Will genius of the Great Heaven Domain, Mu Chen, right?"
Facing Lin Ming's eerie gaze, Mu Chen calmly smiled. "Tell me, what are you guys trying to do? Although our Great Heaven Domain is fearful of a full-scale war, it's the same for you guys. That price isn't something that you or the Heavenly Evil King can bear."
Lin Ming lightly smiled as he said in a playful tone, "Looks like you're a sensible person. I heard that you captured the Divine Pavilion's troop in the Death Ruin, and the outcome was for the Divine Pavilion to use Fallen Origin Pellets to redeem them?"
When Mu Chen heard Lin Ming's words, a smear of chill flashed in his eyes. Lin Ming was truly vicious. He actually wanted their Great Heaven Domain to use Fallen Origin Pellets to redeem their troops before the various peak forces. This method was clearly trying to humiliate their Great Heaven Domain.
In the direction of the Divine Pavilion, when Fang Yi heard Lin Ming's words, he coldly looked at Mu Chen and spat out a mouthful of air before sneering, "Mu Chen, to think that this day will come for you."
"In any case, the Glacier King is a Sixth Grade Sovereign expert.
In my opinion, your Great Heaven Domain will use 200,000 Fallen Origin Pellets to redeem them. "Lin Ming smiled with his eyes narrowed.
"You're courting death!" The Mountain Splitting King and the rest had their eyes widened as they roared.
The Asura King's face was pale as he looked at Lin Ming with a dark gaze.
If it wasn't for the Heavenly Evil King standing behind Lin Ming, he would have already made his move and killed Lin Ming.
At this moment, the other spectating forces inwardly smacked their lips at the Netherworld Palace's lion's mouth. If they were to take out 200,000 Fallen Origin Pellets, the Great Heaven Domain would probably have used up most of the Fallen Origin Pellets that they had painstakingly gathered over this period of time.
"I'm afraid that the Netherworld Palace has no intention of handing them over.
They only want to humiliate the Great Heaven Domain. Furthermore, this way, they can also help the Divine Pavilion take revenge for the humiliation they suffered in the Death Ruin.
This way, they can suppress the Great Heaven Domain and form a good relationship with the Divine Pavilion at the same time, killing two birds with one stone. "Some rulers inwardly sighed.
Between the heavens and earth
The Demon Gate and Myriad Saint Peak did not speak at this moment.
After all, they weren't an unshakable ally of the Great Havenlaw Domain. The reason why they would stand out to support the Great Havenlaw Domain was due to the grudges between them. Furthermore, they did not wish to see the Great Havenlaw Domain, which had grudges with the Divine Pavilion and Netherworld Palace, being destroyed so easily. If that's the case, then they might have to face those peak forces that were like wolves and tigers.
Therefore, they didn't have to pay a great price.
They were willing to help the Great Heaven Domain, but if they could offer it to the best of their abilities …
Then they could only watch from the sidelines.
"Haha, what do you guys think about this ransom?
If you guys don't want to pay, then feel free to leave. But when you guys turn around, I'm afraid that the Glacier King's soul will return to the Netherworld. "Lin Ming chuckled as he looked at Mu Chen with an eerie smile on his thin lips.
Indeed, it was as some rulers had expected. He did not expect the Great Heaven Domain to pay such an expensive ransom. But if the Great Heaven Domain really turned around and left, then Lin Ming had the means to ruin the Great Heaven Domain's reputation.
Mu Chen's black pupils coldly flickered as he cast a glance at Lin Ming, before retracting his gaze. His lips slightly trembled as he transmitted his words through Spiritual Energy into the ears of the various Kings.
Ever since they came to the Bones Mountain Range, they had already fallen into the trap. If they turned around and left, it would definitely be a huge blow to the reputation of the Great Heaven Domain, which was exactly what the Netherworld Palace wanted.
Since the Glacier King was captured by the other party, they had lost the initiative. So it wouldn't be easy for them to take it back.
Behind Mu Chen, when the Mountain Splitting King, Jiu You, and the rest heard Mu Chen's words, the rage on their faces had gradually calmed down. However, they were still a little hesitant, since Mu Chen's plan was a little dangerous.
But in this situation, regardless of whether they advanced or retreated, they were all within the other party's calculations.
The Asura King's gaze flickered as he nodded his head a brief moment later. "Mu Chen, if you're confident, then I'll leave it to you!"
Hearing his words, Mu Chen felt inwardly relieved as he cupped his fists towards the Asura King. "I will definitely do my best.
Turning around, his sharp gaze shot towards Lin Ming. Seeing his gaze, the latter's brows slightly twitched as he sneered, "What's wrong?
You've come to an agreement?
Can you tell me now, are you guys intending to pay the ransom or leave? "
Mu Chen stared at Lin Ming with a smear of a smile on his handsome face. "200,000 Fallen Origin Pellets, right?
Alright, I'll give it to you in the Great Heaven Domain! "
Rustle!
When he spoke, practically every single force here was shocked. The Divine Pavilion, Demon Gate, Sky Profound Palace and the other peak forces were dumbfounded. They never expected that Mu Chen would really use 200,000 Fallen Origin Pellets to exchange for the Glacier King. Did they not know how important the Fallen Origin Pellets were?
If the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury opened and they did not have enough Fallen Origin Pellets to break the seal, then would the Great Havenlaw Ruler let them off?
Not only them, even Lin Ming had narrowed his eyes a brief moment later, before he eerily smiled. "What boldness. Then, I'll have to trouble you guys to hand over the Fallen Origin Pellets first!"
"I will naturally hand over the Fallen Origin Pellets."
Mu Chen stared at Lin Ming with a smear of an arc rising on the corner of his lips. "But since you guys want to play, then why don't you play a little bigger?
Or should I say that the trash of your Netherworld Palace can only play tricks behind the scenes like rats?
Or is it that a nameless rat like you doesn't have the courage? "
Although Mu Chen's words were casual, it was undoubtedly like a clap of thunder that enraged the experts of the Netherworld Palace. Even Lin Ming's face was a little distorted. That's because he was bothered by the fact that someone said that he was nameless in the past. Although it was true, he had endured for so many years before he could become a genuine Battle Formation Master. For this day, he had suffered too much humiliation. But now that he had become a Battle Formation Master, he definitely wouldn't endure that humiliation again!
Thus, Lin Ming took a deep breath as he looked at Mu Chen and the smile hanging on the corner of his lips gradually turned sinister. "No matter how you want to play today, my Netherworld Palace will accompany you to the end!"
At this moment, Mu Chen had similarly forced their Netherworld Palace into a dead end. If they didn't accept it, then their reputation would be ruined today!
Hearing Lin Ming's words, Mu Chen's gaze instantly turned sharp as he raised his head and pointed at Lin Ming. His voice was like a thunderclap that resounded in everyone's ears.
"The loser of our battle will lose 400,000 Fallen Origin Pellets!"
When his words resounded, countless experts sucked in a cold breath.
Mu Chen was truly ruthless. His means were simply putting both sides into a dead end.
This time, the Netherworld Palace had really kicked a tough iron plate!
