Boom!

The two gigantic god-like fingers swept across the sky and collided hard together. The entire land seemed to freeze at that moment of collision.

The spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth seemed to be fleeing in all different directions. It was as though they were afraid that the devastating impact would reduce them to nothing.

Boom Boom!

The land froze for only a moment, yet it seemed like forever. Another glaring glow fell from the sky, filling every corner in the entire land.

The glow was so dazzling that it hurt one’s eyes. Even countless powerhouses who stood around the White Jade Square could feel a prickling pain in their eyes, such that they could not help but squint their eyes slightly.

Rumble!

After the glow filled the entire land, a visible spiritual windstorm started to spread out from the point of collision. Every inch of the land where the windstorm passed was ripped open. The stretch of endless forest was also wiped out at this time, as all of the vitality on the land was crushed into ashes under that kind of impact.

Countless powerhouses who stood around the White Jade Square gazed in horror at the daunting and damaging power. Chills ran down their spines, as even an Upper Earthly Sovereign might just perish in the face of such a daunting power!

“Aren’t they too crazy? It’s hard to believe that a battle between an Upper Earthly Sovereign and a Lower Earthly Sovereign could reach such a daunting level?” An Upper Earthly Sovereign watched the screen with a bitter expression on his face. This level of battle was already beyond his imagination.

“Monsters,” another person commented, while more people sighed. He then said, “But, I wonder who will actually gain the upper hand after this collision.”

“Most likely it will be Ling Zhanzi. The War Emperor Celestial Body is too daunting. Moreover, he used the millions troop’s fighting spirit as his supplement. Even though Mu Chen has a mysterious Celestial Body, he is still a Lower Earthly Sovereign. So, I’m afraid that he can’t go against Ling Zhanzi.”

“Perhaps that Mu Chen could be even scarier than Ling Zhanzi. If he had the strength of an Upper Earthly Sovereign now, Ling Zhanzi might not be his match,” said another.

Quite a number of powerhouses shared this same sentiment. After all, the combat power that Mu Chen had displayed was too daunting. He was just a Lower Earthly Sovereign, yet he could push Ling Zhanzi into such an extent. They all had to wonder…

How daunting would it be if he breaks through to an Upper Earthly Sovereign one day? At that time, would he be able to go against a Complete Earthly Sovereign?

At the thought of this, a creepy feeling crawled into the heads of many powerhouses. But, they shook their heads again. After all, the Complete Earthly Sovereign might seem to be just a level above the Upper Earthly Sovereign, but the two of them were significantly different.

The Complete Earthly Sovereign was also the gateway to becoming a Heavenly Sovereign. Since it was a level that was quite close to the Heavenly Sovereign, almost all of the Complete Earthly Sovereigns were hard to deal with.

This could be seen from the number of participants in these battlefields of the Child of the Continent. The Battlefield of the Lower Earthly Sovereigns had a few hundred participants, while the Battlefield of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns had close to two hundred participants.

On the other hand, the Battlefield of Complete Earthly Sovereigns had less than ten people. As such, the Complete Earthly Sovereigns were extremely domineering. At this kind of level, one could be considered as the ultimate existence in the Great Thousand World, as long as one did not provoke a Heavenly Sovereign.

Hence, many of the powerhouses present were doubtful about whether or not Mu Chen could go up against a Complete Earthly Sovereign once he reached the Upper Earthly Sovereign level. As many powerhouses were firing off their opinions, the Western Kingdom War Emperor and the Flame Emperor, who were on the Myriad Stone Steps, were staring at the light screen.

“Mu Chen does indeed have some skills. That Sovereign Celestial Body of his can definitely ranked among the top fifteen on the List of Sovereign Celestial Bodies in this Great Thousand World. It is no wonder that he can push Ling Zhanzi into such a state,” the Western Kingdom War Emperor said.

At this moment, he fully grasped the mightiness of that Immortal Golden Body and acknowledged Mu Chen’s strength.

The Flame Emperor then smiled and asked, “Who do you think will win?”

The Western Kingdom War Emperor pondered this for a while, then said, “I guess both parties will not gain any upper hand in this fierce fight. Both will suffer an equal loss in the end.”

Although he did not want to acknowledge the fact that Mu Chen had pushed Ling Zhanzi into this state, the Western Kingdom War Emperor was not someone who was narrow-minded. He knew that, given the sharp eyes of the Flame Emperor, he could foretell the outcome better than anyone else.

But, he immediately squinted his eyes and said, “However, even though Mu Chen may have a stronger Sovereign Celestial Body, he loses out because of his weaker strength. After this head-on collision, he spiritual energy will be depleted. On the other hand, Ling Zhanzi still has his means. As such, even though it is unfair for Mu Chen, the one who is going to have the last laugh will most likely be Ling Zhanzi.”

The Western Kingdom War Emperor was, after all, a Heavenly Sovereign with sharp eyesight. Before anyone could tell the outcome of the match between Mu Chen and Ling Zhanzi, he was already a step further than the rest.

The Flame Emperor also nodded with a smile. “You’re right, but to beat Mu Chen, I’m afraid it might not be as easy as you think.”

Looking at the mysterious smile at the corner of the Flame Emperor’s lips, the Western Kingdom War Emperor’s lips slightly twitched. Doubts and uneasiness filled his mind…

Could Mu Chen still have other ways of escape? How could that be possible?

At that moment, the spiritual windstorm that had taken over Heaven and Earth slowly dissipated at last, allowing the spectators to see the action more clearly. The first thing that those spectators saw once their visions were clear was a stretch of forest that had been completely wiped out.

Lands for miles had been leveled into mere plains. Hideous cracks stretched across these lands, causing everyone to feel uncomfortable as they gazed upon them.

The lands had been split into half. On the left portion stood the huge and tall War Emperor Celestial Body, while the Immortal Golden Body was on the right side. As such, two Sovereign Celestial Appearances were confronting each other from afar.

Rumble!

But, the confrontation only lasted for a moment. To everyone’s horror, the two Sovereign Celestial Bodies fell forward at the same time. A rumbling sound was heard as they both dropped to one knee.

The radiant glow that was on the two Sovereign Celestial Appearances quickly dimmed due to the massive depletion of their spiritual energies. On the White Jade Square, many powerhouses were dumbfounded by this situation. The outcome of the previous devastating collision had ended with two losing parties!

At present, Ling Jianzi, Su Mu, Ling Longzi and Chu Men were suspended in the air far away from Ling Zhanzi. They were shocked when they saw the situation.

Apparently, none of them had expected this outcome. After all, no one would have thought that Mu Chen could bring Ling Zhanzi to this losing state!

“This lad is way too abnormal!” Ling Jianzi mumbled, while horror flashed in his and Ling Longzi’s eyes.

After all, Mu Chen was still a Lower Earthly Sovereign. If he were an Upper Earthly Sovereign, Ling Zhanzi might not be his match.

At the moment, Ling Zhanzi was looking sullen on the shoulder of the War Emperor Celestial Body. He stared hard at Mu Chen, who was far away, with eyes as sharp as a knife. He was also stunned by this outcome…

What kind of Sovereign Celestial Body is he practicing? Why is it so formidable?

Ling Zhanzi clenched his fist tightly. He knew that the only reason that Mu Chen could go against him to such an extent was because of that mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body!

His eyes were filled with darkness, and after a short while, he slowly calmed himself down. He looked at Mu Chen with cold and sharp eyes.

Then, in a low voice, he said, “I never would have thought that I would have such an embarrassing day. Mu Chen, I have to admit that you are unusual.”

Mu Chen, who was sitting with his leg crossed on the shoulder of the Immortal Golden Body, looked pale. The previous extreme collision had clearly affected him.

He gave a faint smile at Ling Zhanzi and said, “Thank you for the compliment.”

Ling Zhanzi lowered his eyelids and coldness surged in his eyes. Slowly, he asked, “But, do you still have enough spiritual energy to circulate your Sovereign Celestial Body? Without that power, can you still be a match of me?”

“Didn’t your spiritual energy deplete quite a lot, too?” Mu Chen gave him an enigmatic smile.

Ling Zhanzi nodded slightly and lifted his head almost immediately. He looked at the spaces in the three light globes of the War Emperor Celestial Body. The next moment, a look of cruelty flashed across his eyes.

“War Sacrifice!” he yelled.

With a stomp, Ling Zhanzi bit his fingertip and blood surged forth in the empty space in front of him. He then drew an eerie blood seal.

After he yelled, the millions of troops within the three light globes slapped themselves on their chests, blood spurting out of them immediately.

The blood soared into the sky and ignited all by itself, while they transformed into a violent spiritual energy that swept down and pierced through the empty space. Eventually, all of them were infused into Ling Zhanzi’s body.

Boom!

After the infusion of the Blood Essence Spiritual Energy, the withering spiritual energy in Ling Zhanzi suddenly rose exponentially. Within a short while, he had recovered to his peak condition.

Many powerhouses were horrified upon seeing this scene from their spots in the White Jade Square. No one would have ever thought that Ling Zhanzi could be so decisive and harsh as to deploy such an extreme method!

He had drawn out the last bit of strength from his millions of troops in order to regain his spiritual energy. But, in doing so, he had caused considerable damage to the millions of troops.

Perhaps, he might need to nurture these troops again in the near future. Apparently, Ling Zhanzi could not care about all of these things at the moment, due to his pressing desire to obtain that sole entry to the Child of the Continent.

While everyone was watching in horror, Ling Zhanzi stared at Mu Chen with slightly red and cold eyes, while a violent and magnifying spiritual energy howled around him.

His cold and low roaring voice resounded throughout the land at this time, “Mu Chen, what else do you have to fight me with? You are not qualified to take the entry of the Child of the Continent from me yet! So, get lost from this battlefield!”
