When they saw the sudden action of the Fourth Hall Master, everyone revealed looks of shock, not knowing what he intended to do.
"You seem somewhat anxious. Could it be that you still have unresolved grievances with this Divine Pavilion Master?" The Fourth Hall Master's gaze fell upon Liu Bai. Under Liu Bai's stiff expression, he suddenly spoke indifferently.
Liu Bai was startled. He truly had not expected the Fourth Hall Master to pay attention to him.
It would have been one thing to notice him, but he had even spoken to him.
However, Liu Bai could not afford to think too much about it now. That was tens of millions of experience points, enough to raise his strength by a large margin. Since there was a chance to strive for, he naturally had to seize every opportunity.
"Replying to Senior, there are indeed some grievances. This junior wishes to personally kill this man."
In front of an existence like the Fourth Hall Master, there was no need to hide anything. It was better to speak plainly.
As for whether the other party would agree, that was not something Liu Bai could decide.
His words left the people beside him completely baffled. Since when did this genius of the Great Heavenlaw Domain have a deep blood feud with the Divine Pavilion Master? Could it be simply because the latter had tried to kill him with pressure just now?
Put that way, it seemed somewhat reasonable. But why insist on doing it personally?
Among those present, only Mandala and Jiu You appeared thoughtful. Thinking about Liu Bai's past experiences, he seemed especially enthusiastic about killing, particularly killing experts. And every time afterward, his cultivation would improve.
"This kid would not happen to have some special strange ability, would he…"
Relying on slaughter to strengthen oneself was not unheard of in the Great Thousand World.
Of course, the two women kept their guesses to themselves. At this moment, Liu Bai was still looking at the Fourth Hall Master with anticipation.
"I see. In that case, handing him to you is not impossible."
As he spoke, the Fourth Hall Master changed his hand seals once more. The blazing stellar flames transformed into chains of fire, directly suppressing the Divine Pavilion Master inside the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid.
Then, under the shocked and jealous gazes of everyone, the Fourth Hall Master looked at the Starlight Demonic Suppressing Pyramid, now reduced to the size of a palm, and said calmly to Liu Bai, "I will give this to you. Rest assured, with the seal I have placed upon it, he cannot escape. When the stellar flames have burned away most of the spiritual energy and demonic qi within him, you may personally kill him."
Liu Bai's eyes widened in disbelief.
What was this supposed to be?
Giving him a treasure and even attaching a portable experience package that could be claimed at any time once ready?
While Liu Bai was still stunned, Mandala's voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Take it quickly. Do not worry about anyone coveting it. With the Spiritual Divine Liquid in hand, I am confident I can break through to Greater Earth Sovereign. Even if I cannot, the two of us together can still protect it."
Mandala was so anxious not only because the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid was a genuine Saint Artifact, but also because it could help sense the location of the Ancient Heavenly Palace.
Although the Fourth Hall Master had not mentioned this, Mandala knew it. That was why she was so eager for Liu Bai to accept it.
In truth, her concern was unnecessary. No matter how one looked at it, Liu Bai would never refuse the goodwill of the Fourth Hall Master.
"Many thanks, Senior."
After respectfully bowing, Liu Bai had just raised his head when he saw the Fourth Hall Master flick his finger. The Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid transformed into a streak of starlight, descended, and then forcefully rushed into the space between Liu Bai's brows.
"Are you wondering why I am giving you such a tremendous benefit?" The Fourth Hall Master looked at Liu Bai. Although his rigid face was expressionless, a faint smile could be seen in his eyes.
"Yes," Liu Bai answered honestly.
The Fourth Hall Master did not give a direct answer. Instead, he took out the previous token.
"Yun He has also fallen."
Liu Bai's heart stirred, and he understood somewhat. So it was because of Elder Yun He.
"Yes. Back then this junior accidentally entered the alternate dimension where Senior Yun He resided. At that time, his body had been possessed by an evil soul. Later, this junior was fortunate enough to seal the evil soul and only then met Senior Yun He's true spirit."
The Fourth Hall Master nodded slightly. After a long while, his voice sounded again.
"During that great battle, Elder Yun He led the Fourth Hall Battle Division to fight alongside me in blood. In the end, I sacrificed my life and relied on the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid to seal the Heaven Devouring Evil Emperor."
"At that time, numerous experts of the Fiend Clans sacrificed their demonic bodies in an attempt to break my seal and rescue the Heaven Devouring Evil Emperor. At the final moment, it was Elder Yun He who led many experts to perish together with those evil beings. He himself was invaded by an evil soul that sought to control him to attack the seal."
"At the last critical moment, Elder Yun He tore open space and exiled himself into an alternate dimension. Only then was the final result of that battle preserved."
"It has been tens of thousands of years. He has finally been freed."
Listening to the Fourth Hall Master's words, Liu Bai was somewhat dazed.
So Elder Yun He had played such a crucial role in that ancient battle.
In that case, he must have been one of the foremost experts of the Fourth Hall. Yet in the end, due to demonic soul erosion, he had perished with his soul scattered. It was truly tragic.
"Since he handed his Elder token to you, it seems he held you in high regard. And your talent is indeed extraordinary. If you have the chance to enter the Ancient Heavenly Palace in the future, that will also be a stroke of fortune."
"Ten thousand years have passed. Our era has ended. What comes next depends on you."
His voice gradually became ethereal. When the final word fell, the Spiritual Puppet suddenly exploded, transforming into specks of starlight that quickly dissipated between heaven and earth.
Seeing the Fourth Hall Master disperse, the experts of the various factions let out sighs of relief. Then, one after another, reddened gazes like hungry wolves shot toward Liu Bai.
All threats had vanished. Now it was time to assess the harvest.
But before that, Liu Bai, who had obtained the greatest gain, naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
Facing those ill intentioned gazes, Liu Bai remained calm.
At this moment, Mandala directly arrived in front of him. Her small figure stood before Liu Bai like a towering mountain peak that reached the sky.
"Put away your petty thoughts. Otherwise, I do not mind letting the Northern Region lose another top tier force."
Mandala's words were domineering, but they could not completely extinguish certain people's greed.
"Hehe, Mandala, do you really think you alone can stop so many of us? Perhaps after you refine the Perfect Spiritual Divine Liquid you might be able to, but certainly not now."
The Netherworld Palace Master was filled with killing intent as he said in a deep voice, "Enough people have died today. I have no desire to create more slaughter. As long as Liu Bai hands over the Saint Artifact, today's matter will end here. My Netherworld Palace will not make things difficult for you and will allow you to leave freely."
Mandala's gaze turned toward the Netherworld Palace Master, her golden eyes carrying faint disdain.
"You?"
Anger flashed in the Netherworld Palace Master's eyes, but he knew that capturing Mandala alone was unlikely. As for the experts of the Netherworld Palace, they were clearly no match for Liu Bai and the powerful lineup of the Great Heavenlaw Domain. Relying on his faction alone, he truly had no solution.
However, the Netherworld Palace Master was not anxious. He believed that those coveting the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid were certainly not only himself.
"Everyone, this is the last opportunity. A powerful Saint Artifact capable of easily suppressing a Half Step Greater Earth Sovereign. If you miss it now, you may never encounter such a chance again."
The voice of the Netherworld Palace Master spread out, causing waves of commotion.
Within the Sky Profound Palace lineup, Liu Tiandao slightly narrowed his eyes, and a trace of temptation flashed deep within them.
Yet he did not act rashly. Instead, he looked toward the directions of the Demon Gate and Myriad Saint Mountain.
Unfortunately, the Myriad Saint Ancestor remained calm, showing no sign of being tempted. From his earlier attitude, Myriad Saint Mountain clearly leaned more toward the Great Heavenlaw Domain.
In the end, Liu Tiandao's gaze fell upon the Demon Emperor.
Compared to the Myriad Saint Ancestor who had already made his choice, the Demon Emperor now appeared somewhat hesitant.
Although the Demon Gate had previously chosen to stand on the same side as the Great Heavenlaw Domain, that had largely been forced by the situation. Now that such a huge temptation lay before him, it was indeed a test for the Demon Emperor.
However, the Demon Emperor was no fool. It was clearly a matter between the Great Heavenlaw Domain and the Netherworld Palace. If he jumped out now, who would the Saint Artifact belong to in the end?
In that case, it was better to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
Seeing this, the Netherworld Palace Master could not help but frown. He had not expected these people to be so timid. The meat was already at their mouths, yet they still did not dare to eat.
"Everyone, although there is only one Saint Artifact, after this matter is accomplished, my Netherworld Palace is willing to offer ten million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in exchange. You will not suffer any loss. Furthermore, the territory of the Great Heavenlaw Domain will be left for you to divide as you please. My Netherworld Palace will not participate. How about it?"
It had to be said that the conditions offered by the Netherworld Palace Master were indeed tempting.
But many times, for Earth Sovereign experts, such things were far less attractive than a powerful Saint Artifact.
Mandala let out a cold laugh and said indifferently, "Is that all you can offer?"
"That makes me feel rather cheap."
"Since you, Netherworld Palace Master, have made an offer, if I do not bid, would that not be looking down on you? Everyone, whoever joins me in destroying the Netherworld Palace, the Spiritual Divine Liquid in the Netherworld Palace Master's hands will belong to that person."
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Tiandao, who had been considering whether to join forces with the Netherworld Palace Master, instantly made a complete reversal in attitude.
"Great Domain Lord, are your words true?"
Liu Tiandao's words caused the Netherworld Palace Master's expression to change drastically. He turned toward Sky Profound Palace and shouted angrily, "Liu Tiandao, what do you mean by this?"
Liu Tiandao chuckled and replied, "Netherworld Palace Master, do not be anxious. If you are dissatisfied, you may naturally offer a higher price."
The Netherworld Palace Master's face turned ashen. What was this supposed to be? An open auction for lives?
Moreover, Liu Tiandao's skin was truly thick. He had directly cast aside even the dignity of a top tier expert.
Of course, the Netherworld Palace Master could also use the Spiritual Divine Liquid to win over others. From Liu Tiandao's words, it was clear that he would welcome it.
But the Perfect Spiritual Divine Liquid in Mandala's possession was something the Netherworld Palace Master also desired, so he was naturally unwilling to take it out.
Seeing the Netherworld Palace Master hesitate and waver at such a moment, Mandala inwardly shook her head. At a time like this, he was still indecisive. Even when given an opportunity, he was useless.
"Enough nonsense. If you want to fight, then come!"
Mandala glanced at Liu Bai. After receiving his signal, she stopped wasting words with the Netherworld Palace Master and directly struck out with a palm.
A vast river of crystallized spiritual energy tore across the sky like a ferocious dragon baring its fangs, roaring straight toward the Netherworld Palace Master.
"Mandala, you are courting death!"
Seeing that the other party dared to take the initiative, the Netherworld Palace Master was instantly enraged.
He also struck out with a palm in response.
Violent spiritual energy once again shook the entire space. The three major forces of Sky Profound Palace, Myriad Saint Mountain, and Demon Gate retreated far away, watching the battle in the sky.
Liu Tiandao and the Demon Emperor both had flickering gazes, clearly calculating something in their hearts.
The Myriad Saint Ancestor still appeared calm and unmoved, but in truth his attention had always been fixed on Liu Bai.
Just now, when Mandala deliberately stalled with the Netherworld Palace Master, he had keenly sensed an unusual aura emanating from Liu Bai.
That aura was something he had previously detected from the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid under the control of the Fourth Hall Master.
Although it was very faint, and the aftermath of the earlier great battle had caused the spiritual energy of the entire space to boil, making it difficult even for Earth Sovereigns to detect.
The Myriad Saint Ancestor had noticed it, and he had also guessed what Liu Bai had done. Thus, when he now looked toward the battlefield, it seemed he had already seen the final outcome.
Boom!
The collision once again shook heaven and earth. Beneath Mandala's feet, the ancient Mandala Flower vines reappeared. Behind the Netherworld Palace Master, a black colossal figure thousands of feet tall overlooked the land.
This black shadow was the Netherworld Palace Master's Sovereign Celestial Body. As it breathed, pitch black nether yin qi spread outward. Within that yin qi was an icy power capable of melting and corroding even space itself.
At this moment, both Earth Sovereigns had displayed their Sovereign Celestial Bodies, causing the observers to grow solemn.
"These two have truly fought with real fury," Liu Tiandao muttered. Then he smiled inexplicably and continued watching like a spectator.
Fight. It would be best if both sides were gravely injured.
This Great Hunt had been far more brutal than in previous years. Of the seven top tier forces, only five now remained. Two had already been destroyed.
From the looks of it, that number might decrease further.
For victors like them, this in itself was a tremendous benefit.
Thus they were so at ease watching the two fight desperately. However, in the hearts of Liu Tiandao and the Demon Emperor, unless something unexpected occurred, this battle would likely end without result.
After all, the difference in strength between the two was not great. Even determining a victor would be difficult, let alone deciding life and death.
