On the massive Battle Stage, the ominous aura around the robust silhouette gradually retracted. At the same time, its appearance had also become clear. It also had the body of a human and the head of a beast.
However, it wasn't rumoured to possess the terrifying strength of a Ninth Grade Sovereign when it was alive. Even if it had fallen, the strength that it had preserved was even stronger than the Demonic Skyeater Jiao-Dragon.
Its figure was even more robust than the Demonic Skyeater Jiao-Dragon. Just by quietly standing on the Battle Stage, everyone could sense a heavy pressure spreading over.
On the Battle Stage, the Mountain Splitting King's face had also turned a little unsightly because of the appearance of the Demonic Blood Dragon. He had also sensed a dense dangerous aura coming from the latter.
He was clear about his own strength. If he encountered a weaker Ten Ominous Beasts, he could still put up a fight. But who could have expected that he would awaken the strongest Demonic Blood Dragon amongst the Ten Ominous Beasts?
There wasn't much suspense in this confrontation.
The Mountain Splitting King felt bitter in his heart. But at this point in time, he already had no path of retreat. No matter what, he had to brace himself and give it a try.
Huff.
Thinking about it, the Mountain Splitting King deeply inhaled a mouthful of air and suppressed the emotions in his heart. His gaze gradually turned sharp. Although he knew that his opponent was extremely troublesome, he was, after all, a famed expert in the Great Heaven Domain. So he naturally couldn't lose his will to fight so easily.
Boundless Spiritual Energy abruptly swept out from the Mountain Splitting King's body. Judging from the Spiritual Energy, he was only a step away from the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm. But it was that short step.
But it was just a short step away from the Asura King, there was still a considerable gap.
Boom!
The Mountain Splitting King clenched his fist.
A crimson axe had appeared in his hand with sharp Spiritual Energy fluctuations emanating from it.
It exuded an extremely sharp fluctuation of spiritual power. Clearly, it was not a weak divine artifact.
Facing such a powerful opponent, the Mountain Splitting King naturally couldn't be as ferocious as the Asura King and face his opponent with his fists.
Rustle!
The Mountain Splitting King's silhouette had turned into a streak of light as he flew out. In a flash, he had appeared above the Demonic Blood Dragon and an eerie light burst out from his eyes as he abruptly slashed his axe down.
"Sky-Splitting Divine Art - Sky-Splitting Slash!"
His roar contained a thick killing intent.
An axe light that was thousands of feet in size whistled down in an extremely overbearing manner. Wherever the light passed, a crack would appear in the space.
The Mountain Splitting King clearly knew how powerful the Demonic Blood Dragon was. Therefore, he did not have any intention of probing the Demonic Blood Dragon and had immediately unleashed his strongest move.
Rumble!
That axe-light was too fast and violent. It was as if the light had only flashed. In the next instant, it had already enveloped the Demonic Blood Dragon with a momentum that could shatter the heavens and earth.
Everyone's eyes slightly narrowed at this moment.
Sweeping dust.
As the commotion gradually calmed down, everyone's eyes, which were fixed on the location of the Demonic Blood Dragon, had abruptly narrowed. Even the Mountain Splitting King's face was dark.
Because he saw that in front of him.
The Demonic Blood Dragon was still standing with its arms crossed above its head. Clearly, it had used its arms to receive the Mountain Splitting King's ferocious attack.
However …
Even though the Demonic Blood Dragon had forcefully withstood the attack, its arms were still bleeding profusely.
Only a deep scar had appeared, and a bloody light was circulating within the scar.
At the same time, it was also recovering at a shocking speed.
The Demonic Blood Dragon's tyrannical physical body and powerful regenerative abilities were extraordinarily astonishing.
Outside the Battle Stage, the various Kings bitterly smiled as they shook their heads. The Demonic Blood Dragon was truly too troublesome. If it was the Asura King, he might still be able to put up a fight. But the Mountain Splitting King was still a step behind.
"Damn it!"
The Mountain Splitting King's face was dark as he cursed with his teeth clenched. Thereafter, a ferocious light surged in his eyes as he tightly gripped onto the axe. The Spiritual Energy in his body showed signs of going berserk.
Today, he wanted to give it his all and see how powerful this damnable ferocious beast was!
"Mountain Splitting King, come out. We'll give up on this round."
But just when the Mountain Splitting King was about to go all out, Mandala's voice resounded from outside the Battle Stage.
Hearing Mandala's voice, the Mountain Splitting King was stunned, before he clenched his teeth in unwillingness. He loosened his grip on the axe, but in the end, he still loosened it and flew out of the Battle Stage with a dark expression.
He knew that even if he gave it his all, the chances of him winning against the Demonic Blood Dragon wasn't high. It was so much so that if he forcefully fought, he might even suffer heavy injuries.
Along with the Mountain Splitting King flying out, the Demonic Blood Dragon's body blossomed with light and soared into the sky, before returning to the top of the stone pillar and turned back into a bronze statue.
The Mountain Splitting King looked at Mandala with an ashamed expression. "This subordinate is useless …"
Mandala waved her hand, stopping the Mountain Splitting King's words. "You can't be blamed for this. If the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury can be so easily cleared, then you're underestimating the Fourth Palace Master."
"Haha, this is only the first round."
The Sky Vulture Emperor smiled as he continued, "As long as we can win another three rounds, the Domain Ruler will be able to forcefully break the array."
"Although we've lost a round, it's not necessarily a bad thing. At the very least, the Demonic Blood Dragon won't be awakened again." Mandala nodded her head.
Judging from the rules here, regardless of the challenger or the one being challenged, they could only fight once, regardless of victory or defeat. Therefore, the Demonic Blood Dragon shouldn't appear again.
When the various Kings heard her words, they felt slightly relieved. After all, under the condition that the Asura King couldn't make a move, there was indeed no one amongst them that could confront the Demonic Blood Dragon.
Mu Chen had also sighed in his heart. If he still had a troop with him, then he could make use of the power of Battle Will to confront the Demonic Blood Dragon. But it was a pity that he could only rely on his own strength right now.
"There are still eight more rounds, which one of you will go first?" Mandala's golden pupils looked at the other various Kings as she slowly said.
The remaining various Kings exchanged a glance. A brief moment later, the Blood Hawk King took a step forth and said in a solemn voice, "Let me try for the third round."
Although they knew that the eight rounds wouldn't be simple, as the higher hierarchy of the Great Heaven Domain, they naturally couldn't cower at this moment. Therefore, no matter what, they had to stand up.
Otherwise, if they couldn't enter the depths of the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury and allowed the Spiritual Divine Liquid of the Fourth Palace Master to fall into the hands of the other peak forces, then it would be a destructive blow to their Great Heaven Domain.
Whoosh!
The Blood Hawk King stomped his feet and charged towards the massive Battle Stage under everyone's gazes.
Rumble!
Along with the Blood Hawk King's appearance, the ancient palace trembled and a bronze statue swiftly revived, before landing on the Battle Stage with an ominous aura.
"That's one of the ten ominous beasts of the Ancient Haven Palace, the Sky Dragon Bear. His strength is at the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm with the strength to move mountains!" Mandala slowly said as she looked at the massive figure that appeared before the Blood Hawk King.
"I wonder, what are the chances of the Blood Hawk King winning?" The Sky Vulture Emperor said with his brows slightly knitted.
Mandala slightly lowered her eyes as she sighed in her heart. Although the Sky Dragon Bear's strength was only at the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm, the Blood Hawk King's strength was only at the Initial Phase of the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm. Therefore, she wasn't too optimistic about the Blood Hawk King's chances.
It was just as Mandala had expected. The battle on the Battle Stage was intense at the beginning, with both sides attacking and defending. But as time gradually passed, the Blood Hawk King gradually showed signs of weakness.
Thus, the Blood Hawk King finally revealed a flaw in their last exchange and was forcefully sent out of the Battle Stage by the Heavenly Dragon Xiong's dragon palm.
Third match, Blood Hawk King's defeat!
After the Blood Hawk King, the various Kings of the Great Heaven Domain gradually had rage surging in their hearts. The successive defeats must have aroused the pride in their hearts.
But despite being furious, they had to admit that the strength of the ten ominous beasts of the Ancient Haven Palace was stronger than the various Kings of the Great Heaven Domain.
This was something that could be clearly seen in the following exchange of blows.
Fourth match.
The Spiritual Sword King fought against one of the ten ominous beasts, the Three-Headed Demonic Python, and was defeated once again!
Fifth match.
The Glacier King fought against one of the ten ominous beasts, the Netherworld Spiritual Hound, and was defeated once again!
Four consecutive matches, the Great Heaven Domain's side had all been defeated, with only the Asura King having a temporary victory in the first match!
In the ancient palace, outside the Battle Stage, the various Kings of the Great Heaven Domain wore unsightly expressions. The four consecutive defeats had made their faces burn.
Mandala sighed when she saw this scene. However, she did not blame them and said, "You don't have to be too worried. If all of us fail in the end, I will forcefully break the formation."
Hearing that Mandala could forcefully break the Array, Mu Chen and the rest did not have any joy on their faces. That's because they knew that even if Mandala could forcefully break the Array, it would definitely cause a great deal of exhaustion for her. Furthermore, if they encountered the other peak forces, it was hard to guarantee that the other forces wouldn't take the opportunity to attack. If that's the case, then what awaits them would be complete annihilation.
Therefore, if it was possible, they had to help Mandala maintain her perfect state before they see the Spiritual Divine Liquid.
Mu Chen stared at the bronze statue on the huge stone pillar and slowly clenched his fists. But just when he was about to step out, Jiu You, who was standing beside him, took a step forward.
"Domain Ruler, leave the sixth match to me." Jiu You looked at Mandala.
Looking at Jiu You, Mandala pondered for a brief moment before she gently nodded her head. "If you can't win, then retreat. I have a way to break the Array."
Nine Nether gently nodded her head as she exchanged a glance with Mu Chen. Before the latter could speak, her silhouette had already appeared on the massive battle stage in a flash!
The sixth match, Jiu You!
