The one who appeared was naturally the Divine Pavilion Master.
Taking advantage of the Spiritual Puppet's attack, he had hidden himself at the bottom of the Spiritual Sea and obtained what he wanted before emerging.
According to his original plan, he intended to come out and directly refine the Spiritual Divine Liquid. Even if he still could not break through, as long as he coordinated with his hidden trump card, he would certainly be able to intimidate the masses and unify the Northern Region.
However, when he saw that on the side of the Divine Pavilion only Fang Yi was standing there in a panic, his entire expression turned unsightly.
"Fang Yi, what happened? Where are the others?"
Fang Yi looked at the Divine Pavilion Master as if a bullied child had finally seen his parents. He almost burst into tears.
"Master, they have all died at the hands of those from the Great Heavenlaw Domain!"
The Divine Pavilion Master's expression changed drastically. His scarlet eyes burned like molten lava.
"Moreover, the Great Heavenlaw Domain obtained perfect grade Spiritual Divine Liquid, and they even have extra…"
Now the Divine Pavilion Master could no longer remain calm. He had not obtained even a single drop, while the other side not only had the best, but even surplus. Was the Divine Pavilion so easy to bully?
As for the deaths of his subordinates, although he was angered, he was not truly enraged. As the Divine Pavilion Master, his gaze had always been set upon the entire Northern Region. What did the lives of those subordinates matter?
As long as he remained alive, all the experts of the Northern Region would eventually become his subordinates.
"Great Heavenlaw Domain Lord, as long as you hand over the perfect Spiritual Divine Liquid, my previous proposal still stands. You and I shall rule the Northern Region together."
Mandala glanced at the Divine Pavilion Master and said calmly, "I have already given my answer. As for the Spiritual Divine Liquid, if you want it, you may come and take it yourself."
"In that case, today shall be the day of your fall!"
As his words fell, the Divine Pavilion Master suddenly spread his arms with a strange smile.
At the instant his arms opened, his eyes turned pitch black. Dense black qi surged out like ink, sweeping across the sky and covering the heavens and earth. Even this space began to crack.
That black qi was indescribably powerful, and within it seemed to exist a strange force utterly incompatible with this world. That force was extremely cold and sent chills into the hearts of all.
The Divine Pavilion Master stood within the boundless black qi. Spreading his arms, he took a deep breath, and the rolling black qi poured into his body through his nostrils.
As the black qi entered him, his hair rapidly grew longer, and the pressure emanating from his body surged at an astonishing rate.
"Be careful. That is demonic qi. He is devouring demonic qi!" Liu Bai, who had long been prepared, immediately shouted.
The Earth Sovereigns who had been watching were stunned upon hearing this. Disbelief appeared on their faces.
Mandala stared at the Divine Pavilion Master, whose pressure was soaring, and gritted her teeth. "Liu Bai is right. This power does not belong to the Great Thousand World. It is the power of the Fiend Clans!"
"Divine Pavilion Master, you are truly insane to dare touch such power!"
"Power of the Fiend Clans?"
If Liu Bai's earlier warning had left them doubtful, Mandala's confirmation, along with the obvious incompatibility between the black qi and the surrounding spiritual energy, made the other Earth Sovereigns turn pale with shock.
The Divine Pavilion Master had gone mad enough to absorb a power rejected by the Great Thousand World?
"I understand now. This must be the power left behind by the Heaven Devouring Evil Emperor. It is said that during the ancient great war, at the battlefield where he fell, the Heaven Devouring Evil Emperor was intercepted by the Fourth Hall Master, and an earth shaking battle erupted. After that battle, the Fourth Hall Master perished, while the Heaven Devouring Evil Emperor was sealed and suppressed!"
The Ancestor of the Myriad Saint Mountain suddenly roared, his expression filled with shock.
"This place was formed from the Sovereign Sea of the Fourth Hall Master. If something were to be sealed and suppressed, the seabed of the Sovereign Sea would be the most likely location. Earlier, when the Divine Pavilion Master was blasted into the sea by the Spiritual Puppet and did not reappear for a long time, it must have been then that he secretly broke the seal and obtained a portion of the power left behind by the Heaven Devouring Evil Emperor!"
Upon hearing this analysis, the Demon Emperor and the others felt their hearts tremble.
They finally understood why the Divine Pavilion Master had acted so recklessly at that time. He had not been foolish. He had deliberately used the opportunity to dive into the seabed and, right under their watchful eyes, release the power sealed by the Fourth Hall Master.
Realizing this, all of them turned ashen.
To think that under their very noses the Divine Pavilion Master had accomplished such a thing, while they had believed him to be a fool. In the end, they themselves were the fools.
"Heh, you have finally figured it out…"
As the Earth Sovereigns were filled with shock and humiliation, the Divine Pavilion Master smiled faintly within the sky covering black qi. However, his smile now appeared far more sinister.
He savored the sensation of immense power surging through his body and said, "But what you do not know is that the Heaven Devouring Evil Emperor has long turned to ashes after tens of thousands of years of sealing. Only a strand of power remains. Although this power is evil, it is insufficient to erode me. Once I completely make it my own, I will be able to take that final step and become a true Greater Earth Sovereign!"
"Now, do you still have the courage to attack me?"
Although he had not yet become an Greater Earth Sovereign, with the augmentation of this demonic qi he could already display the combat power of a Half Step Greater Earth Sovereign.
The other five, having not yet refined their Spiritual Divine Liquid, were no match for him in single combat. Thus, the Divine Pavilion Master had no intention of concealing his ambition.
However, forcing everyone to submit so easily was not simple.
"Everyone, if we do not join hands now, we will truly have to hand over our foundations to him afterward," Mandala said as she swept her gaze over the others.
While the others remained silent, the Ancestor of the Myriad Saint Mountain was once again the first to step forward, standing beside Mandala.
"Myriad Saints Mountain is the life's work of this old man. I have no intention of handing it over to anyone else."
His stance broke the stalemate. The Demon Emperor, clad in black armor, also stepped forward. His position was self evident.
The remaining Netherworld Palace Master and Liu Tiandao hesitated repeatedly. In the end, Liu Tiandao led the people of Sky Profound Palace to Mandala's side.
Although Sky Profound Palace had conflicts with the Great Heavenlaw Domain, this concerned the survival of their faction. Liu Tiandao ultimately chose himself.
Seeing this, the Netherworld Palace Master had no other option. Unless he was willing to abandon his faction, he had only one choice. As for sitting back and watching, whether it was the Divine Pavilion Master or Mandala's alliance, both would eliminate him first, just like the Serpent God Palace.
"Heh, it seems you have all made your choice."
"Unfortunately, do you truly think that by joining hands you can survive against me?"
The Divine Pavilion Master smiled faintly and waved his sleeve.
In the next moment, boundless black qi surged. The strange force within it spread, and the sky seemed to become defiled.
To their horror, the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth was gradually being polluted. Even Earth Sovereign level experts could no longer control the contaminated spiritual energy.
Mandala and the others stared at the increasingly tainted heaven and earth, their expressions growing uglier.
The Divine Pavilion Master intended to use the power of the Fiend Clans to completely pollute this space, turning it into a cage from which they could not escape.
"Everyone, strike together and tear open space to retreat. As long as we leave this place and spread the news, let us see how the Divine Pavilion can still stand in the Northern Region!" the Ancestor of the Myriad Saint Mountain shouted sharply, his eyes flashing.
In the Great Thousand World, all living beings were extremely wary of the Fiend Clans.
Once the Divine Pavilion Master's actions were exposed, countless factions would besiege him. At that time, even the overlord factions beyond the Northern Domain would not remain indifferent.
"Strike together!"
The Demon Emperor and Liu Tiandao understood at once. Without hesitation, they attacked simultaneously. Terrifying crystalline arcs of spiritual energy roared forth and fiercely bombarded the spreading evil black qi.
Chi chi!
However, when their attacks landed on the black qi, they only scattered a portion of it. In merely an instant, the black qi swept back again, and the force of pollution became even more violent.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the Ancestor of the Myriad Saint Mountain and the others turned extremely grim.
"Heh, stop wasting your effort. With the power left behind by the Heaven Devouring Evil Emperor, what can a few Lesser Earth Sovereigns like you possibly do to me?"
The Divine Pavilion Master stood outside the overwhelming black qi, his voice carrying a faint and ethereal tone.
Seeing the Earth Sovereigns trapped, the remaining experts of the various factions fell into panic.
If even these Earth Sovereigns could not escape the grasp of the Divine Pavilion Master, then would they not have even less chance of survival?
Soon, after a brief commotion on the side of Myriad Saints Mountain, a figure swiftly headed toward the Great Heavenlaw Domain.
Everyone looked and saw that the figure was the Saintess of Myriad Saints Mountain, Su Biyue.
From the direction of the Demon Gate, Hong Yu, dressed in a bright red gown, frowned when she saw this. After only a moment of hesitation, she left her formation and likewise headed toward Liu Bai.
As for Netherworld Palace and Sky Profound Palace, the Netherworld Prince and Liu Yan wore unsightly expressions, yet they did not dare approach as the two women had done.
"Emperor Liu, what should we do about today's matter? Myriad Saints Mountain is willing to follow Emperor Liu's command!" After seeing Liu Bai, Su Biyue did not waste words and directly declared her stance.
Hong Yu, who had just arrived, was immediately stunned upon hearing this.
Since when had Su Biyue trusted Liu Bai so completely? And with such a declaration, would the experts of Myriad Saints Mountain truly agree?
Liu Bai gave a slight nod. Naturally, he understood what Su Biyue meant.
After all, when he killed that Serpent, everyone from Myriad Saints Mountain had witnessed it.
It could be said that the only one who currently possessed the ability to break this deadlock was Liu Bai, this small figure who had temporarily been ignored by the Divine Pavilion Master.
Liu Bai narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure in the sky who stood outside the black qi, single handedly trapping five Earthly Sovereigns. He said in a deep voice, "It is useless. If I attempt to set up a spiritual array now, I will likely be discovered immediately. At that time, the first to die will be me."
In the end, he was still not an Earth Sovereign. In such a direct confrontation, he remained merely an ant.
Of course, with Liu Bai's current accumulation, advancing to the Earth Sovereign Realm was more than sufficient. However, such a move would be too shocking to the world and would bring considerable trouble. Unless absolutely necessary, he would not act so recklessly.
"This…"
Su Biyue immediately revealed a dejected expression.
Hong Yu silently listened to their conversation. With her sharp intellect, she quickly understood certain implications.
Yet the moment that thought formed, her alluring face instantly changed color. The idea was simply too unbelievable for her to accept.
Liu Bai glanced at her calmly and then ignored her. He said indifferently, "However, you need not worry for now. I still have one method to try. If even this method fails, then we can only risk our lives."
As he spoke, Liu Bai flipped his hand and took out the Elder Token of the Battle Hall of the Fourth Palace that he had obtained from Elder Yun He.
In the original account, Mu Chen had used the mysterious iron triangle to awaken the true spirit entrusted within the Spiritual Puppet by the Fourth Hall Master. What Liu Bai now intended to attempt was whether this Elder Token under the Fourth Hall Master could achieve the same effect.
With this thought, Liu Bai no longer hesitated. He flicked his finger, and the token transformed into a streak of light that shot toward the Spiritual Puppet standing motionless in the sky above the stone island in the distance.
This scene naturally did not escape the perception of the Divine Pavilion Master.
Although he did not know what Liu Bai intended to do, at such a critical moment he would not allow any accident to occur because of carelessness.
With a cold snort, he reached out and grabbed through the air. As space twisted, he attempted to intercept the streak of light released by Liu Bai.
However, at the very moment the Divine Pavilion Master made his move, a cold glint flashed across Mandala's golden eyes. She suddenly extended her slender finger and pressed down into the void.
"Stop him!"
Mandala's finger directly tore open a small gap in the black qi that filled the sky.
Among the remaining four, only the Ancestor of the Myriad Saint Mountain reacted immediately. Vast spiritual energy surged through that gap and transformed into a gigantic spiritual energy palm thousands of feet in size. Layers of crystalline spiritual energy covered the palm, as if it were indestructible.
The moment this gigantic palm appeared, it charged straight toward the Divine Pavilion Master.
At the same time, the others also reacted and attacked without hesitation.
The four Earth Sovereigns each displayed their methods. Powerful offensives carrying world destroying might swept overwhelmingly toward the Divine Pavilion Master.
Faced with such attacks, even the Divine Pavilion Master, confident in his superior strength, had no choice but to abandon intercepting that streak of light and instead press his palm down toward the incoming assaults.
