Jiu You's slender silhouette flew down from the stage. At this moment, powerful Spiritual Energy undulations were spreading around her. After absorbing the Spiritual Energy essence left behind by the Demonic Golden Lion, her strength had clearly improved once again.
Looking at Jiu You, the various Kings of the Great Heaven Domain had unknowingly had a solemn expression, especially the Blood Hawk King and the rest, who looked at Jiu You with heartfelt respect in their eyes.
That's because, through the previous battles, they understood that Jiu You's strength had already surpassed them. Amongst the various Kings of the Great Heaven Domain, only the Asura King and the Mountain Splitting King could suppress Jiu You.
It was so much so that if Jiu You was given more time, she might even surpass the Mountain Splitting King.
Thinking about it, the Blood Hawk King and the rest couldn't help sighing in their hearts. Back then, the reason why Jiu You could become a King of the Great Heaven Domain and sit on the same level as them was because of the Sky Vulture Emperor's recommendation, as well as her background in the Sparrow Clan. Towards this Jiu You King that relied on her background, the Blood Hawk King and the rest naturally looked down on her, which was also the reason why there were so many years of grudges between them.
But after today's battle, the Blood Hawk King and the rest had no choice but to admit that the Nine Nether King, whom they had once belittled, had unknowingly surpassed them. So at this moment, they couldn't help feeling complicated in their hearts.
"Haha, it's been tough on you."
The Sky Vulture Emperor looked at Jiu You with gratification. The latter's outstanding performance had also made his face shine.
Mandala had also lightly nodded her head.
Previously, Jiu You's decisive battle was truly pleasing to the eye. What the Sky Vulture Emperor said was indeed correct.
Jiu You's talent was shocking and her future achievements were limitless.
Jiu You smiled. After which, her pretty eyes turned towards the four kings that had yet to make a move. Mu Chen was one of them...
Now the challenge had reached the sixth round, but the Great Heaven Domain had only won two rounds.
There were still two more victories before they could break out of the formation.
But obviously …
This was not an easy task.
That was because the remaining four kings were basically the weakest among the various kings. As for Mu Chen, if he had an army, he would not be able to defeat them.
By relying on the power of battle intent, his strength should be able to surpass the Mountain Splitting King and be second only to the Asura King.
But it was a pity that troops couldn't be used here, so Mu Chen could only rely on his cultivation as a Fifth Grade Sovereign. But practically all the Kings here had stepped into the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm, so judging from the surface, there weren't many Kings here.
Mu Chen was almost at the bottom …
No one was optimistic about the next four challenges.
Mandala's brows were knitted together. She clearly knew how difficult the next four challenges would be.
But at this point in time, it was impossible for her to give up. Even if she knew that the chances of failure were high, she still had to give it a try.
Therefore, her gaze was also directed at the remaining four kings.
The Iron Python King, Vajra King.
The Great Cliff King, and finally, Mu Chen.
Amongst the four of them.
The first three had just broken through to the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm not long ago. Their strengths were slightly weaker than the Blood Hawk King and the rest, while Mu Chen was a Fifth Grade Sovereign.
Although she knew that the chances of success weren't high, Mandala still gently waved her hand, indicating for them to continue. No matter what, they still had to give it a try.
However, his wishful thinking clearly did not increase his chances of winning. After Nine Nether, the Iron Python King and Vajra King also made their appearances. However, the outcome of the battle still made everyone's hearts sink.
The Iron Python King, defeated!
The Vajra King, defeated!
Although this kind of crushing defeat wasn't unexpected, everyone's faces turned a little gloomy when they saw the result.
The Iron Python King and Vajra King retreated with shame on their faces. The opponents that they faced were stronger than them, so it was indeed hard for them to gain the upper hand in their confrontation.
The Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury was indeed a dangerous region. Just the first barrier alone had obstructed them to the point that they couldn't even take a single step forward.
"I'll go up for the ninth match."
Along with the defeat of the Iron Python King and Vajra King, the Great Cliff King deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as he stomped his feet and charged onto the stage. His robust silhouette was as heavy as a mountain.
Everyone looked at the silhouette of the Great Cliff King and inwardly sighed. Clearly, they didn't have much hope for the latter. After all, in terms of strength, the Great Cliff King and the Iron Python King were only on the same level.
Rumble!
When the Great Cliff King rushed onto the battle platform, another huge stone pillar in the ancient hall rumbled and trembled. In the end, as the bronze peeled off, a black figure landed heavily on the battle platform, filled with a baleful aura.
Everyone immediately directed their gazes over and saw a skinny silhouette with a pitch-black body, as if it was forged from black iron. Its head was the head of a ferocious monkey.
"One of the ten ominous beasts, the Demonic Blackiron Monkey."
Mandala looked at the black silhouette and gently sighed in her heart. Although the Demonic Blackiron Monkey wasn't amongst the top of the ten ominous beasts, it was extremely troublesome to deal with. That's because its speed was like a phantom that could toy around with a Sixth Grade Sovereign.
It looked like the Great Cliff King wouldn't have much luck in this battle.
Hiss!
When the Demonic Blackiron Monkey appeared, it bared its sharp teeth towards the Great Cliff King and issued a weird laughter. In that instant when the laughter rang out, its silhouette had instantly disappeared.
"What swift speed!" The various Kings of the Great Heaven Domain exclaimed in shock.
Boom!
When their voices resounded, the Great Cliff King's silhouette flew back on the stage, as if he had suffered a heavy blow. There were deep claw marks on both of his arms that were so deep that bones could be seen with blood flowing out.
Hiss!
The Demonic Blackiron Monkey's silhouette appeared where the Great Cliff King previously stood and issued a sharp laughter. In the next instant, it had turned into a black light and disappeared.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
In the next few minutes, the Great Cliff King had fallen into the most miserable state. Facing the Demonic Blackiron Monkey's speed, the Great Cliff King had fallen into a disadvantageous position. His entire body was covered in sinister wounds with blood practically enveloping his entire body.
Seeing this scene.
Practically everyone had lost their confidence.
But just when everyone bitterly smiled in disappointment, Mandala's golden pupils, which had been staring at the stage, flashed.
With her terrifying strength, she could naturally sense it. Although the Great Cliff King was in a miserable state with wounds all over his body, it wasn't a fatal injury for the Great Cliff King, who was proficient in defence.
Furthermore, Mandala could vaguely sense it.
In the Great Cliff King's body, which was in a pathetic state, there seemed to be a violent Spiritual Energy frantically gathering.
The Great Cliff King seemed to be powerless to retaliate.
However, he had been brewing in the dark. His forbearance was truly extraordinary.
Boom!
Another heavy blow sent the Great Cliff King's silhouette flying back a few dozen feet.
But before he could recover, an ominous aura blew over and a sinister monkey's face appeared before him.
A cold light flashed as the Demonic Blackiron Monkey's sharp claws stabbed towards the Great Cliff King's chest.
The Great Cliff King abruptly raised his arm and used it to block.
Poof!
Fresh blood splattered as the Demonic Blackiron Monkey's claws were akin to blades as it stabbed into the Great Cliff King's arm.
However.
When the Demonic Blackiron Monkey's claws stabbed into the Great Cliff King's flesh, a sinister smile rose on his face that was covered in blood.
On his other hand, a terrifying Spiritual Energy violently gathered.
A terrifying Spiritual Energy violently gathered and in a brief moment, a palm-sized mountain had been formed on the Great Cliff King's palm.
The Great Cliff King's Spiritual Energy was compressed and condensed into it, and it gave off a terrifying fluctuation.
A terrifying fluctuation rippled as it spread out, causing the surrounding space to fluctuate.
"Beast.
It's my turn now! "
The Great Cliff King eerily smiled as he threw a punch out towards the Demonic Blackiron Monkey's head.
Creak!
Sensing the terror of the Great Cliff King's attack, the Demonic Blackiron Monkey immediately executed its ghostly speed to dodge. But at this moment, it realised that it couldn't pull its claws out. The flesh on the Great Cliff King's arm seemed to be wriggling, forcefully pressing its claws into the flesh.
The Demonic Blackiron Monkey's ghostly speed had been restricted.
Boom!
In that instant, the Great Cliff King's fist, which contained the might of a mountain, had already whistled over. In the next instant, it heavily slammed against the Demonic Blackiron Monkey's head without any hesitation. With a poof, the Demonic Blackiron Monkey's head exploded like a watermelon.
The Demonic Blackiron Monkey's body swayed as it fell onto the ground, before turning into sparkles of light that continuously flowed into the Great Cliff King's body.
Outside the Battle Stage, the various Kings were dumbfounded at this turn of events. Even Mu Chen had a shocked expression on his face. No one could have expected that the Great Cliff King, who seemed to be in a pathetic state, had endured till the very last moment to deal with the Demonic Blackiron Monkey in such a ferocious manner …
On the Battle Stage, after the Great Cliff King finished absorbing the Spiritual Energy essence, he staggered down from the Battle Stage. Mandala stretched her hand out and her Spiritual Energy formed into a waterfall that caught him.
Clearly, even with his powerful defence, he had reached his limit after suffering the Demonic Blackiron Monkey's attacks.
"Fortunately, I did not disappoint you."
The Great Cliff King grinned with great difficulty.
"You've worked hard."
Mandala softly said. This victory had clearly exceeded everyone's expectations. However, it was all thanks to the Great Cliff King's good luck. The Demonic Blackiron Monkey excelled in speed, but its attacks were weak. If it was any other ferocious beast, the Great Cliff King might not even have the strength to speak at this moment.
"This game ends here. Next, I'll break it."
A chill surged in Mandala's golden pupils. This game of watching her subordinates fight with their lives on the line while she did nothing had started to enrage her.
Even if it would result in a great exhaustion, she had to shatter this bronze door today!
Mandala took half a step forth as a terrifying Spiritual Energy swiftly gathered in her palm.
However, just when she was about to make a move, a silhouette flashed past her and a hand grabbed onto her arm, stopping the Spiritual Energy that she was gathering.
Mandala raised her head and saw Mu Chen's youthful face.
"Domain Ruler … as the Monarch of the Great Heaven Domain, you can't deprive me of my right to fight."
Mu Chen lightly smiled. He knew that Mandala didn't want him to do something useless. But at this moment, as the Monarch of the Great Heaven Domain, it was impossible for him to cower.
"You …" Mandala was stunned as she looked at Mu Chen's eyes. The latter's eyes were still bright with unswerving determination. His gaze made her understand that he didn't rely on escaping to come this far.
Mandala slowly placed her hand down as she gently nodded her head. "Be careful. If you can't win, then retreat."
Mu Chen smiled as he nodded his head. Shortly after, his silhouette moved and charged onto the stage. His sharp gaze was directed at the ancient stone pillar and his figure was like an unsheathed divine spear that soared into the sky.
Let me see how troublesome the so-called Ten Ominous Beasts are in this last match!
