The rock island floated in the sky above the boundless ocean. There was a thick light barrier around the rock island that completely concealed the rock island, making it impossible for others to peek inside.
At this moment, there were ripples fluctuating on the sturdy barrier and a crack was swiftly spreading out on the surface of the barrier.
That crack was naturally the work of the five Earth Sovereigns, Mandala and the other Earth Sovereigns. After receiving the message from their subordinates, they had immediately joined hands to tear apart the barrier once again.
This time, they didn't take the unnecessary step of tearing a crack on their own. Instead, they joined forces to tear apart the light barrier at the same spot. In this way, it was naturally much easier than before.
Whoosh!
When the crack appeared, a commotion swiftly resounded and streaks of light swiftly flew out of the barrier like bolts of lightning.
Rumble!
When those streaks of light burst out, the Spiritual Puppet had unleashed an enraged roar above the barrier. Its hollow eyes contained a terrifying pressure as it swept towards those streaks of light. Clearly, it had sensed the fluctuations of its own Spiritual Energy essence from those streaks of light.
Boom!
But before the Spiritual Puppet could make a move, the six Earth Sovereigns had instantly made their moves. Six mountainous palm prints descended from the sky and heavily slammed against the Spiritual Puppet.
When they obstructed the Spiritual Puppet, the six Earth Sovereigns had waved their sleeves and a spiritual light swept across the horizon, piercing through space and enveloped their respective forces before swiftly retreating.
In just ten-odd breaths, everyone had retreated a few myriad feet under the protection of their respective forces.
As they retreated, the Spiritual Puppet did not chase after them due to the restriction of protecting the rock island.
Due to the restriction of protecting the rock island, the Spiritual Puppet did not pursue after them.
Suddenly, he let out an angry roar and lowered his head, locking his gaze on a group of people who were fleeing in panic.
They were naturally the party of the Divine Pavilion. Because the Divine Pavilion Master wasn't present, none of the Earth Sovereigns present had the attention to rescue them.
The leaders of the Divine Pavilion's party were the four Pavilion Lords of the Divine Pavilion. When they sensed the furious gaze of the Spiritual Puppet directed at them, they instantly felt their scalps going numb.
Although the four of them were top-tiered powerhouses that were only inferior to the Divine Pavilion Master, they were facing the Spiritual Puppet that not even six Earth Sovereigns could do anything to.
They were as weak as ants.
A lustre flickered in the Spiritual Puppet's hollow eyes as it abruptly made its move. A myriad of lustre shot out from its palm like a dragon-binding rope as it appeared above the Divine Pavilion's party and swept down. A terrifying pressure had instantly frozen space.
It sealed everyone from the Divine Pavilion in the void.
Facing the attack of the Spiritual Puppet, the four Pavilion Lords of the Divine Pavilion had shock written on their faces as they unleashed the Spiritual Energy in their bodies without holding back. However, they still couldn't shake the radiance that descended.
Between them and the Earth Exalts.
The gap was too big.
When the party of the Great Heaven Domain, which had been brought away by Mandala, saw this scene, they couldn't help inwardly smacking their lips. The Spiritual Puppet was actually so terrifying.
With just a casual palm, it had forced the luxurious formation of the Divine Pavilion into a dead end.
Boom!
However …
Just when everyone thought that the Divine Pavilion's party would be doomed, the ocean down below suddenly whistled.
A myriad foot high wave was raised as a streak of light whistled out, forming into a barrier that enveloped the party of the Divine Pavilion.
Boom!
Boom!
The lustre heavily slammed against the barrier, causing a thunderous roar to resound and ripples to appear. However, it did not shatter the barrier. Thereafter, the barrier swiftly escaped with the party of the Divine Pavilion. In a flash, they were already a few myriad feet away.
Walking between life and death, even the four Pavilion Lords of the Divine Pavilion felt their legs going soft and their backs were covered in cold sweat.
Space fluctuated before them as a silhouette stepped out. He stood with his hands behind his back with a torrential aura that even intimidated the heavens and earth. That silhouette was naturally the Divine Pavilion Master.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master, for saving us!" When the party of the Divine Pavilion saw that majestic silhouette, they respectfully bowed.
"What a pity."
When the various Kings of the Great Heaven Domain saw this scene, they shook their heads in pity. The Divine Pavilion Master had still made a move at this crucial moment.
Mandala squinted her golden pupils as she looked at the Divine Pavilion Master. At this moment, the latter didn't look any different from before. Furthermore, the Spiritual Energy undulations around him were extremely calm. The injuries caused by the clash with the Spiritual Puppet had already recovered.
"That fellow …"
But out of a certain intuition, Mandala gently knitted her brows. She vaguely felt that something wasn't right, but she couldn't investigate it. Thus, she could only shake her head, before pulling her attention back to the most important matter. Her golden pupils looked at Mu Chen and the rest. "How's the Spiritual Divine Liquid?
Who obtained it? "
When she spoke of the Spiritual Divine Liquid, even with Mandala's composure, there were ripples in her eyes. Clearly, she couldn't place it in too high a regard.
The three Emperors exchanged a glance and smiled, before looking at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen flipped his palm and the ancient clay jar appeared in his palm. A golden light blossomed from the clay jar. Instantly, a golden lustre enveloped the horizon as a golden streak of light slowly rose from the clay jar.
At this moment, the three Emperors, Jiu You and the rest could clearly see the appearance of the Spiritual Divine Liquid that Mu Chen had refined. But unexpectedly, the so-called Spiritual Divine Liquid wasn't in the form of a liquid.
Within the golden lustre, the golden lustre had condensed into a palm-sized golden embryo. The embryo was covered in ancient runes and as it lightly pulsated, it looked like a living being.
When this item appeared, Jiu You and the rest could clearly sense the Spiritual Energy in this region turning viscous. Taking a deep breath, even the Spiritual Energy in their bodies had become violent.
Something that contained such a terrifying Spiritual Energy essence was something that even the Sleeping Emperor wouldn't dare to casually refine.
To them, it would be akin to a poison if they were to recklessly absorb it.
"The Spiritual Divine Liquid actually looks like this?" Jiu You and the rest looked at the Spiritual Divine Liquid before them.
Instantly, they couldn't help exclaiming out.
"It's actually … a perfect Spiritual Divine Liquid!"
When the golden embryo appeared, Mandala's golden eyes instantly widened.
A smear of shock appeared on her face as she exclaimed.
It was no wonder that she would be so shocked. Even though Spiritual Divine Elixirs hadn't appeared many times in the Hunting War of the Northern Region, they weren't few either. However, the number of Spiritual Divine Elixirs that had attained the perfect grade could be counted on one hand.
She never imagined that Mu Chen and the rest could actually bring out a perfect Spiritual Divine Liquid for her!
The Sleeping Emperor looked at Mandala, who was a little absent-minded, and lightly smiled.
"This time, it's all thanks to Mu Chen. If it wasn't for him obtaining the best item and obstructing the South Pavilion Lord by himself, I'm afraid that we would only be able to obtain an ordinary Spiritual Divine Liquid …"
Mandala recollected her thoughts and took a deep glance at Mu Chen. "I'll remember it."
She did not say anything else. It was just a simple sentence, but Mu Chen, who understood her character, knew what it meant.
What did that simple sentence mean?
Furthermore, from her words, he could tell that Mandala had not treated Mu Chen as a true subordinate. After all, if the Asura King and the rest had done the same thing, she might have given them a great contribution.
As for Mu Chen, she did not promise any contribution. Perhaps, from the very beginning, Mu Chen had not given her any contribution.
Perhaps from the beginning, her interaction with Mu Chen was placed on the same level.
Although Mu Chen's strength was still far from hers …
Mu Chen smiled towards Mandala.
He did not say anything, but flicked his finger and sent the golden embryo over to Mandala.
Mandala stretched her hand out and gently held onto the Spiritual Divine Liquid. When she held onto it, she could clearly sense envious gazes from afar.
Those gazes came from the other Earth Sovereigns. Clearly, they had sensed how terrifying Mandala's Spiritual Divine Liquid was.
While the Great Havenlaw Domain was rejoicing, the Divine Pavilion's party was silent out of fear. That's because the Divine Pavilion Master before them was holding onto a golden pellet. It was the Spiritual Divine Liquid that they had refined. But compared to Mandala's pellet, it was clearly inferior by a level.
"Pavilion Master, it's all because of that brat named Mu Chen!" The South Pavilion Master said with his teeth clenched.
"Mu Chen …"
The Divine Pavilion Master squinted his eyes and faintly smiled. "It's fine. Even if Mandala has obtained a Perfect Spiritual Divine Liquid, she might not be able to make a breakthrough. I am already ahead of her in this aspect …"
"You want to compete with me to see who can break through to the Greater Earth Sovereign Realm first?"
A cold smile rose on the corner of the Divine Pavilion Master's lips as the flames of ambition surged in his eyes. He softly chuckled and muttered, "From today onwards, I will be the true Overlord of the Northern Region …"
When he finished speaking, he no longer hesitated and swallowed the golden pellet in his hand. At the same time, he waved his hand and a terrifying Spiritual Energy swept out, forming into a barrier that enveloped the experts of the Divine Pavilion. Under the protection of the barrier, he sat in the sky.
When the Divine Pavilion Master swallowed the Spiritual Divine Liquid, the gazes of the other rulers of the other forces that had obtained the Spiritual Divine Liquid had also changed, before they swallowed the Spiritual Divine Liquid as well.
"Protect me."
Mandala had also yelled out and no longer hesitated. She opened her mouth and swallowed the Spiritual Divine Liquid, which was in the form of a golden fetus, before a golden light blossomed and enveloped her.
Mu Chen and the rest stood behind her and looked into the distance. There were six different directions that were surging with lustre. Clearly, the other six Earth Sovereigns had also chosen to make use of the Spiritual Divine Liquid to make a breakthrough …
If they succeeded, it would definitely cause an uproar in the entire Northern Region!
Everyone's hearts were raised at this moment. That's because this was the crucial moment that would decide who lived and who died in the Hunting War!
Mu Chen and Jiu You exchanged a glance and their gazes turned grave. If the Divine Pavilion Master made a breakthrough, then their Great Heaven Domain would probably become stray dogs!
(To be continued!)
