The battle for the last three clumps of light on the lake had ended in a short dozen minutes. However, the intensity of the battle had caused Mu Chen, who was watching from the side, to have his eyelids twitch.
In order to fight for the remaining three lumps of light, all the top-tiered experts of the various forces had made their moves. The confrontation had even caused space to collapse. If it wasn't for the fact that this rock island wasn't ordinary, it would have collapsed by now.
The outcome of the intense battle had caused the three lumps of light to fall into the hands of the Divine Pavilion, Netherworld Palace and Myriad Saint Peak.
Naturally, that didn't mean that the other forces weren't strong. It's just that this chaotic battle relied too much on luck to restrain each other, and they just happened to be one step behind.
When the three lumps of light fell into their hands, the experts of the Divine Pavilion, Netherworld Palace and Myriad Saint Peak had immediately retrieved them. Indeed, as they had expected, they were three sparkling jade pots.
The three jade pots were engraved with ancient runes. Clearly, these were the items that they needed the most right now …
With the jade pots in their hands, the three forces had immediately activated them under everyone's envious gazes. Instantly, the jade pots tilted and a lustre blossomed. A suction force burst out from them, causing lake water to whistle out and endlessly pour into the jade pots. At the mouth of the pots, a golden light could be vaguely seen flickering as a terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuation gradually gathered.
This scene had made the three forces of the Divine Pavilion extremely joyful. The jade pots were truly extraordinary, and they were much stronger than those items that they had obtained in the past.
The four Pavilion Lords of the Divine Pavilion inwardly felt relieved, but their gazes were still filled with reluctance when they looked at Mu Chen.
That's because the speed at which the latter refined the Spiritual Divine Liquid from the lake water was still too fast.
It had far surpassed them.
"Damnable brat!"
The four Pavilion Lords gnashed their teeth. They were furious that the greatest benefit was taken by Mu Chen.
But at this time.
They didn't attack again. The Stone Army around Mu Chen was not ordinary, and he was protected by the Three Sovereigns of the Great Heaven Domain not far away. Even if they attacked with all their strength, it would be useless. In this case, it was better to use the jade pot to absorb more lake water and see if it could condense rich Spiritual Divine Liquid.
Hualala!
The sky above the lake, which was originally chaotic and intense, had completely calmed down at this moment.
All the killing intent was withdrawn. The various forces occupied a corner and guarded their respective condensed artifacts, desperately absorbing the lake water below. As a result, there were no more sounds of fighting on the rock island, only the clear sound of water flowing could be heard...
However …
While the battle on the rock island gradually calmed down, the torrential Spiritual Energy outside the rock island had caused even space to be affected by the terrifying Spiritual Energy impacts.
Everything shattered.
The Spiritual Energy impact came from the battle between Mandala and the other six Earth Sovereigns and the Spiritual Puppet of the Fourth Palace Master.
Boom!
A crystal-like streak of Spiritual Energy pierced through the horizon, along with a destructive might.
Standing before it was a petite silhouette, it was Mandala.
She looked at the terrifying attack that was flying in her direction.
Her little face also turned slightly grave. Previously, previously.
The Spiritual Puppet, which was initially defending, had actually launched an attack. Furthermore, the attacks were getting more and more terrifying. It was so much so that even someone with her strength would feel fearful.
Rumble!
Golden light surged within Mandala's golden pupils as she threw a palm forward. Although it looked weak and powerless, when that palm landed, even space was shattered into pieces. After which, it clashed against the crystal rainbow that was a few thousand feet in size.
A shock wave erupted, causing Mandala to take a step back, whereas the crystalline rainbow shattered into specks of light that filled the sky before dissipating.
When Mandala resisted the attack, the other six Earth Sovereigns had also executed their means to shatter the incoming attack. Shortly after, all of their faces turned grave, since they had sensed the strengthening of the Spiritual Puppet's attack.
In the centre of the formation of the seven, the Spiritual Puppet of the Fourth Palace Master had a lustre flickering in its hollow eyes. It lowered its head and cast a glance at the rock island, before unleashing a deep roar from its throat. A terrifying Spiritual Energy burst out from its body, forming into halos of crystallized light that were extremely gorgeous.
When Mandala's group of seven saw the Spiritual Puppet's Spiritual Energy fluctuating, their faces couldn't help slightly changing.
"Looks like they have found the Spiritual Divine Liquid!" The Divine Pavilion Master's gaze flickered. The changes of the Spiritual Puppet were clearly due to the changes in the rock island.
The lords of the other forces also had a change in their expressions with a smear of joy in their eyes. But shortly after, that joy turned into doubt. That's because they didn't know which party had obtained the Spiritual Divine Liquid.
Whoosh!
As thoughts swiftly circulated in their hearts, the silhouette of the Spiritual Puppet was swiftly descending, clearly intending to land on the rock island.
"It's going to protect the Spiritual Divine Liquid, stop it!"
When Mandala saw this scene, she had immediately barked and slapped her palm down. A palm of Spiritual Energy whistled out, gathering wind and rain under the palm. The rain could pierce through space, while the wind could tear the heavens and earth apart. The might of that palm was extremely terrifying.
Boom!
Mandala's palm had immediately sent the Spiritual Puppet flying. At the same time, the other Earth Sovereigns had also launched their attacks together. The violent attacks had instantly trapped the Spiritual Puppet, preventing it from entering the rock island to protect the Spiritual Divine Liquid.
Being tightly entangled by Mandala's group, the Spiritual Puppet had issued a deep roar as a terrifying Spiritual Energy swept out, forcing Mandala and the rest to be cautious.
"You're just a Spiritual Puppet. Do you really want to stop us?!"
But at this moment, a cold bark suddenly resounded and Mandala and the rest were a little startled to see the Divine Pavilion Master suddenly shooting down and had appeared before the Spiritual Puppet, before throwing a palm forth.
This sudden and unexpected change caused Mandala's group to be startled for a moment. Immediately, all of their expressions became strange. During this period of time when they exchanged blows with the Spiritual Puppet, they had clearly understood the latter's strength. If it was a one on one fight, it was likely that none of them would be able to suppress it. Therefore, none of them dared to easily approach the Spiritual Puppet during their previous exchange. Instead, they had chosen to join hands and surround it …
But right now, the Divine Pavilion Master had suddenly gone crazy and was actually risking his life …
Rumble!
As they had weird expressions on their faces, the Divine Pavilion Master had already slapped his palm down and five-coloured light burst out from his palm, illuminating the heavens and earth with a terrifying might.
Roar!
The Soul Puppet let out a low roar at this moment. Rays of light blossomed within its hollow eyes as it swatted its palm forward. At the instant it swatted its palm forward, the crystallized halos behind it started to converge together.
When Mandala and the rest saw this scene, they couldn't help squinting their eyes. At this moment, all of them could join forces and suppress the Spiritual Puppet. But … for some reason, not a single one of them made a move.
Right now, they were all competitors and the Divine Pavilion Master was even more powerful. If they could borrow the power of the Spiritual Puppet to weaken the latter's fighting strength, it would be a good thing for them.
Boom!
The two palms heavily clashed together, causing a terrifying shock wave to wreak havoc. Space within a few hundred thousand feet had directly collapsed. It was so much so that even the surging ocean down below had been sliced into two with a bottomless ravine appearing.
As the shock wave wreaked havoc, the Fourth Palace Master's Spiritual Puppet was sent flying out with a crack on its arm, as if it was about to shatter. Evidently, it had suffered an injury.
On the other hand, the Divine Pavilion Master wasn't in a good state as well. A smear of blood appeared on the corner of his lips as his body flew out like a cannonball and shot into the ocean down below. With a plop, he had shot into who knows how deep into the ocean.
Up in the sky, when Mandala and the rest saw this scene, the corner of their lips uncontrollably twitched. They couldn't understand why the usually calm and cunning Divine Pavilion Master would suddenly be so impulsive. Although he managed to injure the Spiritual Puppet, he had also suffered considerable injuries, which wouldn't benefit him in the future.
"Haha. Looks like the Divine Pavilion Master has lost his mind because of the Spiritual Divine Liquid." The Sky Serpent Old Ghost of the Serpent God Palace let out a weird laugh as he rejoiced in the Divine Pavilion Master's misfortune.
The other Earth Sovereigns' gazes flickered as well.
"Alright, ignore him. We will continue to hold back the Spiritual Puppet so that the people in the island have sufficient time to obtain the Spiritual Divine Liquid." Mandala faintly said.
When the Earth Sovereigns heard her words, they gently nodded their heads. At this moment, they indeed didn't have the time to pay attention to the injuries of the Divine Pavilion Master. Furthermore, they were all opponents, so they were more than happy to see the Divine Pavilion Master being heavily injured.
Thus, the six of them had joined together to restrain the Spiritual Puppet of the Fourth Palace Master. After personally witnessing the might of the Divine Pavilion Master being sent flying with a single palm, they were even more cautious and did not dare to recklessly approach the Spiritual Puppet like the Divine Pavilion Master and clash with it …
As for the Divine Pavilion Master, who hadn't appeared for a long time, Mandala and the rest weren't bothered about him. That fellow must have suffered and was hiding at the bottom of the ocean, seizing the time to recover from his injuries. If he wasn't in a good state, he wouldn't be able to fight for the Spiritual Divine Liquid when it appeared.
Rumble!
In the sky of the rock island, violent and terrifying Spiritual Energy shock waves appeared once again. The Spiritual Puppet couldn't distance itself, so facing the long-range attacks of Mandala and the rest, it could only remain in a defensive state. But judging from its gradually enraged state, Mandala and the rest knew that the Spiritual Divine Liquid in the rock island had probably started to belong to someone …
While they were doing their best to restrain the Soul Puppet, no one noticed that there seemed to be traces of black Qi spreading out from the dark green seawater in the deep sea below.
It was as if there was a demonic god awakening at the bottom of the ocean.
