Rustle!
In the massive lake, streams of water soared into the sky. Those streams were emerald in colour and extremely viscous. It was so much so that if one took a closer look, they would realise that there were crystals in the water. Those were the products of Spiritual Energy being compressed to a terrifying degree.
This lake was formed from the Spiritual Energy essence of the Fourth Palace Master after his death. It was so much so that even the boundless ocean outside was formed from this lake.
Generally speaking, facing such highly condensed Spiritual Energy essence, even Ninth Grade Sovereigns wouldn't dare to absorb it so easily. That's because the Spiritual Energy refined by an Earth Sovereign was too powerful. If it invaded the body, there was a high chance that it would turn against the host and corrode the host's Spiritual Energy, which wasn't worth it.
But right now, the Spiritual Energy essences that even Ninth Grade Sovereigns would be fearful of were endlessly soaring into the sky, before being absorbed into those peculiar bottles …
Mu Chen stood within the stone army's protection. The ancient clay jar floated in front of him, and a water pillar that was several hundred feet in length was being forcefully sucked in by it. Like a whale sucking in water, the water pillar was sucked into the seemingly small but bottomless jar.
The absorption speed of his ancient dolium had clearly exceeded all the other artifacts. In terms of efficiency, even the jade flasks that the Divine Pavilion and the rest had obtained couldn't compare to one-tenth of Mu Chen's dolium.
So when their gazes drifted over, they would look at the majestic water pillar before Mu Chen.
The Spiritual Energy essence in this lake wasn't endless, but it also had a limit. With so many people fighting to absorb the Spiritual Energy essence, it wouldn't take long for the lake to dry up.
There was also a limit to it. With so many people fighting to absorb the Spiritual Energy essence, according to this speed, it wouldn't be long before the lake was completely dried up.
The Spiritual Divine Liquid was related to whether the rulers of the various forces could make a breakthrough.
This was extremely important, because no matter how intense the competition was, the Spiritual Divine Liquid that Mu Chen had refined would be perfect.
The Spiritual Divine Liquid was related to whether the rulers of the various forces could make a breakthrough.
That's because, no matter how intense the competition was, it wouldn't affect the overall situation. There was only one thing that could shake the foundation of a top-tiered force.
It was ruining their pillars …
Evidently, the leaders of the various powers were the pillars of support.
If the Divine Pavilion Master could make use of this opportunity to break through to the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm, Mu Chen and the rest were clear that the entire situation in the Northern Region would change. In the past, they were still doubtful that the difference of a single level wouldn't be too terrifying.
Amongst the seven Earth Sovereigns, the Divine Pavilion Master was the closest to the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm.
He didn't dare say that he had absolute confidence in killing another Lesser Earth Sovereign.
But if he could break through to the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm, then the situation would be completely different. This was something that could be seen from the fact that the Fourth Palace Master had relied on his Spiritual Puppet to obstruct the seven Earth Sovereigns.
A Greater Earth Sovereign was enough to break the balance in the Northern Region.
The clear sound of flowing water.
The voices of the experts from the various forces continued to ring out in the quiet rock island.
Their eyes flickered, and it was clear that many thoughts were running through their minds.
At this stage, the Hunting War was already nearing its end. However, the true danger had just arrived …
That's because no one could predict the outcome.
Time swiftly flowed as thoughts flashed in everyone's mind. In a short instant, half a day had passed. As time flowed, everyone realised that the lake water below had become increasingly thin. Clearly, the Spiritual Energy essence within it was gradually being sucked dry.
As the lake water thinned, there were many terrifying Spiritual Energy ripples being emitted from the sky above the lake. The origin of those ripples were those peculiar bottles.
"The Spiritual Divine Liquid has been successfully formed!"
All of a sudden, an ecstatic voice resounded. The experts of the various forces raised their heads and saw a jade pot that was initially tilted to the side of the Divine Pavilion's camp. It had actually stopped absorbing the lake water and a faint golden light gushed out from the mouth of the pot. As the golden light whistled out, even the sky had been dyed gold.
A terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuation rippled out. Under that fluctuation, even the four Pavilion Lords of the Divine Pavilion felt a little pressured and inwardly smacked their lips.
Buzz!
When the commotion came from the Divine Pavilion's camp, there were also sounds of joy coming from several other directions. As the golden light surged, it had occupied a portion of the horizon that didn't belong to the Divine Pavilion's camp.
It was the Netherworld Palace and Myriad Saint Peak that had obtained the jade pots as well. Borrowing the power of the jade pots, they had also refined a decent amount of Spiritual Divine Liquid.
Behind them, there were also golden lights that blossomed. Evidently, there were other items that had also formed Spiritual Divine Liquid. However, the lustre was much more inferior to the Spiritual Divine Liquid that was formed from the three jade pots.
"Finally, success."
The four Pavilion Lords of the Divine Pavilion had smiles plastered on their faces at this scene and felt heavily relieved in their hearts. After so much effort, they had finally completed their mission and obtained the Spiritual Divine Liquid.
"There's still no movement from that brat's side … Hmph. That brat doesn't know his limits and wants to refine the Perfect Spiritual Divine Liquid. From the looks of it, he might fail!"
The South Pavilion Lord suddenly shifted his gaze and looked in the direction of Mu Chen. That's because, at this moment, only Mu Chen's side showed no signs of Spiritual Divine Liquid being formed.
"It's best if he fails. When the Pavilion Lord completes his breakthrough, he will definitely remove the Great Heaven Domain from the Northern Region. At that time, they will all be stray dogs!" The other three Pavilion Lords had cold expressions on their faces.
At this moment, the other forces couldn't help directing their gazes in the direction of Mu Chen. After all, the ancient vase that Mu Chen had obtained was too powerful. It had absorbed the most Spiritual Energy essence. But judging from the current situation, it seemed that absorbing too much Spiritual Energy essence had increased the risk instead.
Not far away, the Sleeping Emperor and the Sky Vulture Emperor stood.
Jiu You and the rest exchanged a glance with a smear of nervousness in their eyes. After all, the Spiritual Divine Liquid was extremely important to their Great Heaven Domain.
It was too important.
Facing those countless gazes, Mu Chen maintained a calm expression. His gaze was fixed on the ancient vase before him, which was still endlessly absorbing the lake's Spiritual Energy essence.
But at this moment, the lake was nearly dried up.
The last strand of lake water soared into the sky and entered the vase...
After absorbing the last strand of lake water, the ancient vase fell into silence.
The ancient clay pot also fell into a period of silence, and there was no movement.
At the sight of this scene, the four Pavilion Lords of the Divine Pavilion had joy in their eyes. He actually failed?
That fool!
Rumble!
However …
While they were rejoicing in their hearts, a clap of thunder suddenly exploded in this region. Many experts were startled in their hearts and they immediately raised their heads. After that, they saw the ancient vase, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly burst out with golden lightning that tore through the heavens and earth.
It was like a golden dragon that emanated a terrifying pressure.
Bolts of golden lightning kept spurting out, and Zhang Xuan looked over.
Looking over, a golden light violently gathered in the vase with a golden mist fluctuating. Within the mist, a golden fetus could be vaguely seen that was gently throbbing.
Boom!
That throbbing was extremely fine.
But when that fine throbbing sound rang out, the entire sky seemed to be trembling along with it.
The experts of the various forces were dumbfounded at this scene.
Shortly after, dense envy and jealousy surged in their eyes. At this moment, even a fool could tell that the Spiritual Divine Liquid that Mu Chen had refined wasn't ordinary.
The sneers on the faces of the four Pavilion Lords froze and were replaced with ashen expressions. They stared at Mu Chen's eyes, wishing that they could tear him apart.
Whoosh!
The three Emperors of the Great Heaven Domain flew over, passing through the stone army and appeared around Mu Chen. Powerful Spiritual Energy burst out, protecting the latter.
They clearly knew how powerful this Spiritual Divine Liquid that Mu Chen had refined was, so they had immediately made a move to protect him, in case someone made a move out of jealousy.
Huff.
Mu Chen felt heavily relieved as he stretched his hand out and held the ancient vase in his hand. After so much effort, he had finally refined the Spiritual Divine Liquid.
Boom!
When the vase landed in his hand, the stone army around Mu Chen instantly crumbled, turning into sparkles of light that dissipated. Clearly, the Divine Battle Will Board had reached its limit and couldn't hold on any longer.
Mu Chen lowered his head and looked at the empty stone plate in his hand. There were no longer any stone statues on it, so he sighed in pity.
"Haha. Mu Chen, you have made a great contribution this time, and the Domain Lord will definitely compensate you. At that time, it won't just be a matter of a Divine Battle Will Board." The Sleeping Emperor smiled with his eyes narrowed.
Mu Chen smiled, but he wasn't bothered about the reward. The Great Heaven Domain had given him plenty of protection since he came to the Northern Region, and Mandala had also given him plenty of pointers. This was the reason why he would do his best to help them obtain the Spiritual Divine Liquid. As for the reward, he wasn't looking forward to it like the other various Kings.
"Come, let's leave this place and hand the Spiritual Divine Liquid over to the Domain Lord!"
The three Emperors exchanged a glance and clenched their fists. A jade seal appeared in a flash and was crushed by them. It was a signal to inform Mandala that they had succeeded.
At the same time, the other forces had also taken out their communication items and, in an instant, a lustre surged.
Not long after they crushed the communication artifact, the light barrier above the rock island began to tremble and cracks began to appear.
"Prepare to move out!" The Sleeping Emperor ordered after gathering the experts of the Great Heaven Domain.
Mu Chen raised his head and looked at the cracks that were gradually appearing before he took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the jar. He had already obtained the Spiritual Divine Liquid, so he had no idea if Mandala could make a breakthrough with it.
The Great Hunting War had finally reached its most crucial moment.
(Apologies, I'm ten-odd minutes late.
Oh, when I was playing the Great Ruler's Mobile Game, I discovered the rare Six-star Divine Beast, the Jiu You Sparrow. It's said that the evolved form of the Jiu You Sparrow is the powerful Undying Bird, a Supreme Divine Beast. I haven't evolved it yet, I wonder if anyone has evolved it?
It's said to be very powerful, and I'm also very curious about it.
As for the Great Ruler's Mobile Game, you can just search for it on your iPhone or find the download address on your phone.)
