On the surging Luo River, a white jade altar stood upright.
On that altar sat an exquisitely beautiful figure.
At this moment, an extremely powerful spiritual energy fluctuation was emanating from Luo Li's body, far surpassing the Ninth-Grade Sovereign Perfection level.
In the sky, layers of spiritual clouds gathered, and from time to time, a terrifying bolt of lightning descended with ferocity, striking straight at Luo Li.
However, whenever those violent lightning bolts entered within a hundred zhang of her, the Luo River would surge upward, transforming into a massive water curtain that completely blocked them.
Clearly, the Luo River was protecting Luo Li.
Such a fortunate girl.
Countless people were filled with envy and jealousy, including many experts of the Luo God Clan.
Luo Tian Shen's expression was extremely complicated at this moment, his eyes filled with deep worry. Although Mu Chen and the others' arrival had temporarily resolved the crisis of the Luo God Clan and allowed the Luo God Festival to proceed smoothly.
The appearance of the Winter Elder indicated that even greater danger might be awaiting the Luo God Clan.
Under everyone's attention, with the protection of the Luo River, the violent spirit tribulation gradually weakened, and finally dissipated completely into spiritual light in the sky.
At the moment the tribulation vanished, an incomparably powerful surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from Luo Li's body, causing enormous waves to rise across the Luo River.
Countless envious gazes were directed at Luo Li, because everyone knew that at this moment, she had broken through her shackles and stepped into the Lesser Earth Sovereign realm.
Luo Li opened her tightly closed beautiful eyes. In that moment, her glass like pupils seemed to contain a river of stars. At the same time, she formed hand seals, and endless river water from the Luo River surged upward, continuously gathering behind her.
At the same time, Lu Bai, who had also been quietly closed eyed, suddenly opened his eyes. A streak of golden light overflowed from his pupils, and then a third golden eye condensed on his forehead.
This was Lu Bai's Real Heart Eye State, and it was the highest level of Real Heart Eye.
As the river water gathered, everyone saw that behind Luo Li, a massive water like silhouette faintly appeared.
That figure was slender and graceful, radiating jade like divine light. Her appearance gradually changed, eventually becoming exactly the same as Luo Li, and at her brow, a mark resembling a river of stars gradually formed.
Lu Bai's three eyes were now shining with golden light as he stared intently at the mysterious river pattern on that figure's brow. Countless profound spiritual seals were reflected in his pupils, and his expression gradually turned to shock.
Finally, when that mysterious river pattern fully formed, everyone between heaven and earth felt that this slender light silhouette erupted with an indescribable beauty, a beauty that could cause heaven and earth to lose all color.
Heh, so this is the power of someone who was once called the number one beauty of the Great Thousand World, and also a Saint-Grade Heaven Sovereign Realm powerhouse. I have finally seen it clearly.
The smile on Lu Bai's lips gradually widened.
At this moment, he was increasingly satisfied with this Western Heaven Continent journey.
Even if his original goal could not be achieved, simply gaining insight into the Luo River and the Luo God alone had already been worth it.
At the same time, in front of that Luo God phantom, a mysterious river pattern also appeared on Luo Li's brow.
A brilliant light erupted. In that instant, Luo Li, already incomparably beautiful, seemed to undergo a spiritual transformation, gaining a beauty that could make anyone intoxicated.
That beauty made it feel as though she was the most favored daughter of heaven and earth.
At this moment, countless people were intoxicated by the appearance of the so called number one beauty of the Great Thousand World. Only Luo Tian Shen had excitement written all over his aged face as he trembled in his heart.
That is, that is the Luo God Celestial Body.
According to the ancient records of the Luo God Clan, the Luo God Celestial Body was the most beautiful Celestial Body in the Great Thousand World. Once successfully cultivated, it would perfectly complement its master. It was precisely because of this that the Luo God had once become the number one beauty of the Great Thousand World.
Unfortunately, ever since the fall of the Luo God, this powerful Celestial Body had been lost.
Luo Tian Shen never expected that after countless ages, the Luo God Celestial Body would reappear, and it was his own granddaughter Luo Li who had cultivated it.
At this moment, Lu Bai, who had already come out of his comprehension of the Luo River, also sighed slightly. The Luo God Celestial Body ranked eleventh on the Sovereign Celestial Body Ranking. Even in ancient times, it was a top tier Celestial Body.
Truly worthy of being the inheritor of the Luo God. From now on, the title of number one beauty of the Great Thousand World may well belong to her.
A faint voice rang out, instantly pulling everyone back from their intoxication.
At this moment, the girl who had just inherited the title of the number one beauty of the Great Thousand World was looking toward Mu Chen. Then she smiled brightly at him.
That instant beauty was enough to make all things lose color.
In that moment, Mu Chen felt countless hostile gazes land on him. If not for his strong will, he might have been overwhelmed.
Luo Li gave Mu Chen a perfect smile, then turned her gaze toward the Winter Elder. She slightly bowed with elegant composure, showing no loss of calm due to his identity, and calmly said, "May I ask why senior has come to my Luo God Clan?"
The Winter Elder smiled faintly, then took out an object from his sleeve.
It was a golden scroll, and upon it radiated an aura as if it stood above heaven and earth, causing the entire world to fall into silence.
He slowly unrolled the scroll, and his hoarse voice echoed across heaven and earth.
"By order of the Battle Emperor, appoint Luo God Clan's female ruler as the new Saintess of my Western Heaven Battle Palace."
As those words fell, everyone's expressions changed dramatically.
Compared to the envy of the surrounding crowd, Luo Tian Shen and the Luo God Clan as well as Xue Lingzi and the Blood God Clan all turned extremely grim.
The latter did not need explanation. If Luo Li became the Saintess of the Western Heaven Battle Palace, then the Luo God Clan would effectively have the Western Heaven Battle Emperor behind them. Who in the Western Heaven Continent would dare oppose them?
As for Luo Tian Shen, he understood the temperament of that Western Heaven Battle Emperor very well.
However, if that were all, it would still be a great blessing for the Luo God Clan.
But Luo Tian Shen knew his granddaughter's situation very well.
Not to mention that Luo Li already had someone she cared about deeply, even without that, with her pride, she would never agree to become one of the many women of the Western Heaven Battle Emperor.
And that would bring a true disaster to the Luo God Clan.
As expected, things unfolded exactly as Luo Tian Shen feared.
"I refuse."
Luo Li's expression was firm, showing no retreat even in the face of the Western Heaven Battle Palace's authority.
Mu Chen did not fully understand what the Saintess of the Western Heaven Battle Palace meant, but from Luo Tian Shen and the others' expressions, he could tell it was definitely not something good.
After those three words were spoken, the crowd that had just been filled with envy and jealousy immediately turned into one of schadenfreude after shock.
Daring to reject the Battle Emperor, this Luo Li is simply courting death.
At this moment, Xue Lingzi felt his heart violently fluctuate, almost suffering a breakdown.
There was no choice. That single sentence from Luo Li had already determined the future of the Blood God Clan.
Fortunately, this woman only possessed peerless beauty and not intelligence. Since she had rejected the Battle Emperor, no one could save her now.
"This is the Battle Emperor's decree. Are you certain of the consequences of refusal?" The Winter Elder also frowned, a hint of displeasure appearing on his face.
Even though it was only a single calm sentence, it caused immense pressure to descend upon the entire Luo God Clan, including Luo Li.
At that moment, a figure directly appeared beside Luo Li, reaching out to grasp her delicate jade hand as he faced the Winter Elder head on.
"When did the Saintess of the Western Heaven Battle Palace start to be forced into such a position?" Mu Chen's expression was solemn, yet there was no trace of fear.
Luo Li felt a faint sweetness in her heart at this, then tightly held the young man's broad palm in return.
"Youngster, some words are not something you can speak casually."
The Winter Elder's voice carried anger, and at the same time, an overwhelming spiritual energy pressure erupted from within his body. The world itself seemed to turn into winter at this moment, as terrifying cold currents swept toward Mu Chen.
However, just as those cold currents descended, Mandala appeared in front of Mu Chen. Her small body was enveloped in dark light, like a black hole, devouring all the incoming cold currents.
Beside Mandala, Ling Xi was also fully alert. What no one noticed was that a golden spirit jade was tightly clenched in her hand.
"Looks like you truly intend to oppose our Western Heaven Battle Palace?" The Winter Elder could no longer suppress the anger in his heart as he roared at Mandala, who had repeatedly blocked him.
However, his words did not receive Mandala's response. Instead, another voice sounded beside his ear.
"Oh, and what if it is?"
The Winter Elder's heart trembled, because that voice was right beside him, and the speaker had appeared next to him without him even noticing.
"Who is hiding in the shadows!" the Winter Elder shouted in shock and anger.
In the next moment, he swung his sleeve violently. An ice crystal like star shot out, and in an instant, all the temperature of the world seemed to be absorbed into that single star, while the air rapidly froze.
With a hum, that ice crystal star transformed into a cold torrent that expanded violently. In the blink of an eye, it turned into an ice river star with no visible end, crashing down toward the speaker.
What filled him with even greater terror was that the person did not make a single move. He merely exhaled a stream of five colored auspicious light, which enveloped the ice river star. In less than a breath of time, that terrifying attack was completely erased in midair.
This scene caused the Winter Elder's heartbeat to skip.
Such terrifying methods were absolutely beyond what a Earth Sovereign could possess. In that instant, he even sensed that the surrounding world had undergone a change.
"Heaven Sovereign!"
"No, not right. It is a half step Heaven Sovereign level expert!"
After rapid deductions, the Winter Elder quickly determined the opponent's level of strength. But precisely because of this, his heart grew even more terrified.
Although a half step Heaven Sovereign still belonged to the category of Great Perfection Earth Sovereign in a strict sense, the gap between them was even greater than that between a Great Perfection Earth Sovereign and a Lesser Earth Sovereign.
Facing such a terrifying expert, he likely would not even have the strength to resist.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Winter Elder directly bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of essence blood onto the golden scroll in his hand.
Buzz.
With the fall of the essence blood, the golden scroll erupted with boundless golden light.
Within that golden light, there was an extremely terrifying aura that suppressed heaven and earth, as if it ruled over all existence.
Under such pressure, all those below the Earth Sovereign level in the surroundings were forced to kneel, unable to even lift their heads, their bodies trembling.
Even Luo Tian Shen and Xue Lingzi and the others were filled with shock and fear, because they all clearly understood what that aura represented. In the entire Western Heaven Continent, only one person possessed such majesty.
Western Heaven Battle Emperor.
At this moment, Luo Li and Mu Chen's clasped hands tightened abruptly.
Mandala also looked extremely solemn, her gaze involuntarily turning toward Lu Bai.
There was no choice. Facing a true Heaven Sovereign level existence, even a mere projection was enough to suppress everything in this world.
"Do not be afraid," Mu Chen said softly.
Luo Li turned her head and stared blankly at the young man's face, memories of everything that had happened in the Spiritual Road suddenly surfacing in her mind.
At this moment, Mu Chen also felt a sense of despair in his heart, but deep inside, he had already made his decision. Even if he died here today, he would never allow Luo Li to be harmed.
He looked toward Lu Bai's direction and said, "Senior Lu Bai, if there is a chance, please take Ling Xi and leave first."
Since the Western Heaven Battle Palace's target was Luo Li, he would definitely live and die with her. But Lu Bai and the others had no need to remain here and wait for death with him.
Moreover, this matter originally had nothing to do with the Five Elements Divine Palace.
Upon hearing this, Lu Bai raised his eyebrows, but there was no trace of tension on his face.
"Hehe, don't rush to arrange your affairs..."
He smiled faintly, slightly teasing as he continued, "What if the Western Heaven Battle Emperor does not want us to leave? Let's first see what he says."
"Moreover, although the Western Heaven Battle Emperor is indeed powerful, my Five Elements Divine Palace is not necessarily something that can be casually trampled upon either."
