"Those old foxes."
Outside the rock island, Mandala couldn't help flinging her lips aside as she looked at the forces that were sent into the rock island by the other rulers.
"Haha. Truly an old friend that we have known for so many years. Looks like we have the same thoughts." The Divine Pavilion Master had also faintly smiled as he swept a glance at the other six Earth Sovereigns.
When the other six Earth Sovereigns heard his words, they put on a fake smile.
"Alright, since we all have our own intentions, then let's not put on an act. Right now, we can only restrict the Spiritual Puppet of the Fourth Palace Master. As for the Spiritual Divine Liquid, we'll let our subordinates search for it." Mandala coldly said.
When the other six rulers heard her words, they had also nodded their heads. No matter what, they had to see the Spiritual Divine Liquid first. Otherwise, it would be too early for them to risk their lives.
Since they had reached such a consensus, the seven of them no longer hesitated and immediately attacked. Terrifying attacks covered the sky and swept towards the Soul Puppet of the Fourth Palace Master, firmly delaying it. They did not allow it to expel the forces that had infiltrated the rock island.
While the seven Earth Sovereigns were restraining the Spiritual Puppet of the Fourth Palace Master, an ancient aura was spreading out in the rock island. Spiritual lights flickered in the shattered rocks as silhouettes appeared in a flash.
Those silhouettes were naturally the experts of the Great Havenlaw Domain. The moment they appeared, they had immediately circulated their Spiritual Energy to protect themselves as they swept their gazes around with caution, fearing that there might be any terrifying existences on this rock island.
But their vigilance seemed to be a little unnecessary.
The entire rock island was silent and there weren't any sudden attacks.
When Mu Chen saw this scene, he felt slightly relieved in his heart.
He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, but he still planned to take action.
He suddenly saw the Sleeping Emperor, Sky Vulture Emperor and the rest had a drastic change in their expressions.
"What's wrong?" Mu Chen was startled.
"Something's not right!"
The Sleeping Emperor said in a solemn voice. His eyes, which had always been drowsy, were flickering with light at this moment, emanating a shocking pressure. His brows were tightly knitted as he clenched his fists. "The Spiritual Energy in my body is being greatly suppressed!"
Previously, when he was circulating his Spiritual Energy, he clearly felt that the Spiritual Energy within his body seemed to have suffered an extremely strong suppression. The originally powerful Spiritual Energy seemed to have been greatly suppressed.
Surprisingly, it was moving exceptionally slowly.
There seemed to be a bizarre energy that sealed the Sovereign Sea in their bodies, causing the circulation of their Spiritual Energy to be weakened.
"My Spiritual Energy has also been restricted!" The faces of the Sky Vulture Emperor and Spiritual Pupils Emperor changed.
Hearing that, the various Kings hurriedly sensed the Spiritual Energy in their bodies. Then, their faces turned ugly. Obviously, they had the same result.
Mu Chen furrowed his brows as he sensed the spiritual energy within his body.
Unsurprisingly, he felt the weakening of his Spiritual Power, but the weakening wasn't particularly strong. Overall, it was still within his acceptable range.
"My Spiritual Energy has been weakened by over 70%!" The Sleeping Emperor's face was extremely unsightly.
Over 70% suppression. At this moment, the thickness of his Spiritual Energy was only comparable to a Seventh Grade Sovereign.
His Spiritual Energy was probably only comparable to a Seventh Grade Sovereign.
"We should be around 60%." The Sky Vulture Emperor and Spiritual Pupils Emperor exchanged a glance.
"We've been suppressed by nearly half." Jiu You said.
The Asura King and the other Sixth Grade Sovereigns spoke out as well.
When Mu Chen heard their reports, he was briefly stunned.
Shortly after, he said, "I've also been suppressed, but it's very small. It should be around 20% of my Spiritual Energy."
At this point, everyone understood that on this rock island, it seemed that the stronger the person was, the stronger the spiritual power suppression would be.
"This rock island truly isn't simple."
The Sleeping Emperor frowned his brows. This way, the fighting strength of their group had been reduced to a miserable state.
"The other forces should be suffering the same suppression as well." The Sky Vulture Emperor said. Clearly, the suppression wasn't limited to them.
"Let's move together and find the Spiritual Divine Liquid first." The Sleeping Emperor raised his head and looked at the depths of the rock island as he said.
The Asura King and the rest nodded their heads. Their strength had been greatly suppressed and their fighting strength had been greatly reduced. So they had to work together to deal with any sudden incidents.
Everyone had reached an agreement, so they no longer hesitated and turned into streaks of light as they flew towards the centre of the rock island. Due to being cautious, they did not fly high in the sky, but flew at a low altitude of a few dozen feet.
As they flew, Mu Chen and the rest could sense how vast this rock island was. Not only were there undulating mountains and massive forests, there was even a desert-like region. However, everything emanated a desolate aura that made others feel revere in their hearts.
But what made Mu Chen and the rest a little surprised was that they did not suffer any obstructions or ambushes along the way. The smoothness made them feel a little inconceivable.
But regardless of anything, they had finally slowed down after ten-odd minutes of travelling. That's because they had started to reach the centre of the rock island.
On a peak, the silhouettes of Mu Chen and the rest appeared with a flash. Their gazes were directed up ahead and saw a lake that was roughly a myriad feet in size.
The lake was emerald green in colour, appearing as if it was made of jade. A delicate fragrance seemed to be emitting from the lake, while a faint spiritual mist permeated the surface of the lake, causing the entire lake to appear somewhat illusory.
"This is the centre of the rock island, the region with the densest Spiritual Energy. The Spiritual Divine Liquid must be here as well!" The Sleeping Emperor said as he looked at the lake.
The Spiritual Pupils Emperor swept his gaze out as a spiritual light flickered in his eyes, before he solemnly said, "Someone's coming!"
When his voice resounded, Mu Chen and the rest could sense the sound of wind being torn apart. Thereafter, they saw several streaks of light flying over, turning into streaks of light that landed on the peaks around the massive lake.
Those streaks of light belonged to the other peak forces. Evidently, the rulers of their respective forces had also taken the opportunity to tear a crack apart and entered the rock island.
"Those fellows are truly persistent."
The Mountain Splitting King couldn't help cursing. With the participation of those fellows, it wouldn't be so easy for them to obtain the Spiritual Divine Liquid.
Mu Chen and Jiu You exchanged a glance and helplessly smiled. The rulers of the various forces were truly not easy to deal with.
As the experts of the various forces gathered together, the atmosphere here had become a little tense. But at this moment, everyone had their guard up against each other and a battle did not break out.
Rustle!
While the various parties were taking precautions against each other, a clear and melodious sound of water suddenly rang out from within the enormous lake. The sound was extremely pleasing to the ears, causing everyone's hearts to calm down when it landed in their ears.
When the Sleeping Emperor and the rest heard the peculiar water sound, they narrowed their eyes and directed their gazes towards the lake. There was a spiritual mist floating in the air, which made others unable to see the scenery within.
The Sleeping Emperor waved his hand and boundless Spiritual Energy swept out like a hurricane, sweeping away the spiritual mist. In an instant, the massive lake had cleared up.
As the surface of the lake cleared up, only then did Mu Chen and the rest realise that there was a massive vortex at the centre of the lake. Light surged in the vortex and, in the end, lumps of light were being spat out from the vortex.
Everyone's gazes were directed at the lumps of light that were being spat out from the vortex. A myriad foot of spiritual light burst out from those lumps of light. They were dazzling and dazzling, like blazing suns.
Every single one of those lumps of light had astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuations sweeping out.
"Those are …" Mu Chen and the rest looked at those lumps of light and their eyes abruptly narrowed. That's because they could see the silhouettes of artifacts within those dazzling lights. There were even scrolls, cauldrons and other items.
Although they couldn't clearly see what was within those lumps of light, judging from the Spiritual Energy fluctuations, Mu Chen and the rest knew that those weren't ordinary items.
"Those should be the Spiritual Treasures of this Secret Treasury!"
The Sleeping Emperor's eyes flickered as he constantly shifted his gaze within those lumps of light. "The Spiritual Divine Liquid should also be within them!"
Hearing his words, the hearts of the Mountain Splitting King and the rest trembled as their breathing uncontrollably turned a little heavy.
Mu Chen's heart trembled as he swept a glance in the direction of the experts of the various forces and realised that the eyes of those fellows had also gradually turned red.
Although the eyes of the various factions had gradually turned red, the situation had strangely become a little quiet.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. He knew that this unusual silence was just the prelude to the storm. The treasures had already appeared, so if they wanted to fight for them, an intense chaotic battle would definitely break out.
Mu Chen's expectations weren't wrong. The fragile silence only lasted for ten-odd breaths, before the strongest experts of the various forces roared at the same time.
"Let's go!
We must obtain the Spiritual Divine Liquid! "
In that instant when their voices rang out, the Sleeping Emperor, Sky Vulture Emperor and Spiritual Pupils Emperor had practically shot out at the same time. Their targets were the dazzling lumps of light that shot out from the massive lake.
At the same time, the experts of the various forces had also shot out from other directions.
Violent Spiritual Energy practically exploded from the surroundings of the massive lake in an instant. A chaotic battle that had enveloped the seven peak forces had completely unfolded at this moment!
(I'm sorry for being late by an hour.)
