Seeing the terrifying Five Spirit Deity Celestial Body standing between heaven and earth, the three opponents did not dare show the slightest negligence and immediately summoned their own Sovereign Celestial Bodies to fight back.
A several thousand zhang long vine appeared behind the old woman, coiling like a giant python across the sky. Behind the spear wielding middle aged man stood a golden phantom seated atop a Qilin Divine Beast. As for the old man who had been heavily injured by Liu Bai, he was in a far worse state. He could no longer even summon his Sovereign Celestial Body and could only take out an ancient gray stone talisman.
The first two Celestial Bodies were not listed among the Ninety Nine Sovereign Celestial Body Rankings, so Liu Bai knew little about them. Judging from their auras, they were probably ranked outside the top fifty and could not be considered particularly powerful Celestial Bodies.
As for the old man's stone talisman, it surprised Liu Bai slightly. If neither the setting nor the people were different, Liu Bai would have thought he had encountered Lin Dong himself.
Unfortunately, this old man's stone talisman was clearly incomparable to the Ancestral Symbols of the Martial Ancestor. At best, it was only a Quasi Saint Artifact and not even a true Saint Artifact. Thus Liu Bai merely glanced at it before ignoring it.
"Ten Thousand Vine Strangulation!"
The old woman stared gloomily at Liu Bai and waved her hand. Instantly, ten thousand demonic vines surged out from behind her, directly enveloping both Liu Bai's position and the several thousand zhang tall Five Spirit Deity Celestial Body behind him.
Like giant pythons, the demonic vines rapidly twisted and coiled around the Five Spirit Deity Celestial Body the instant they touched it, tightly binding it while continuously increasing the constricting force as though attempting to crush the Celestial Body into pieces.
"Heaven Breaking Spear Domain!"
The middle aged man also let out a loud roar. The golden Qilin Divine Beast beneath the Celestial Body behind him released an enraged howl. The phantom figure then raised the long spear in its hand as endless Spiritual Light split from the spear, condensing into enormous spear shadows that filled the entire world in the blink of an eye.
Clearly, they had both sensed the terrifying strength of Liu Bai's mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body. Therefore, they attacked first, and the moment they moved, they unleashed their strongest Sovereign Divine Abilities.
Facing the endless spear shadows and strangling demonic vines, Liu Bai merely smiled faintly.
"Five Spirit Canopy!"
As his calm voice rang out, the five colored radiance above the giant Five Spirit Deity Celestial Body instantly transformed into a magnificent canopy. Tens of thousands of rays of divine light cascaded downward, directly blocking all attacks outside.
Whether it was the demonic vines or the spear shadows, the moment they touched the canopy, they instantly dissipated into nothingness as though they had never existed, unable to cause any damage whatsoever.
"What?!"
Everyone who witnessed this scene was shocked beyond belief.
These were Sovereign Divine Abilities unleashed by two Earth Sovereigns, yet they dissolved merely upon touching that divine radiance. It was simply unbelievable!
Naturally, Liu Bai would not stand there stunned like them. He formed a hand seal, and the five masks positioned above the Five Spirit Deity Celestial Body instantly began to move before lining up side by side.
The five divine masks representing different attributes opened their mouths. Spiritual light corresponding to the Five Elements poured from each mask before slowly merging into a five colored sphere.
"Go!"
At the moment the sphere formed, all the surrounding heaven and earth Spiritual Energy was directly divided into Five Element attributes under its influence before merging once again through a mysterious force. After repeating this process countless times, all the surrounding Spiritual Energy entered a state of dissolution.
At that moment, the three opponents suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of danger. If that sphere touched them, not only they themselves, but even their Sovereign Celestial Bodies would likely dissolve just like the surrounding Spiritual Energy.
"Spatial Lock Talisman, activate!"
At the critical moment, the old man and his stone talisman, previously considered useless by everyone, displayed their true value.
With his furious shout, the stone talisman floating in the air began to crack before exploding apart with a loud bang.
As the fragments scattered throughout heaven and earth, space and time within a thousand zhang radius centered around the old man instantly froze!
Shock appeared in Liu Bai's eyes, but at that moment, he was like a statue. He could not even move his eyeballs.
"Freezing space and time? How is it possible to perform something that defies the laws of the world?!"
The experts observing the battle erupted into another uproar. They no longer even knew how many times they had been shocked already.
This battle had revealed far too many unbelievable powers.
Whether it was Liu Bai's Ancient God Slaughtering Array, the Three's Life Death Tribulation Power, Liu Bai's terrifying physical strength and mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body, or the old man whom everyone had believed doomed to die suddenly revealing a trump card capable of freezing space and time.
Everything proved just how mysterious and unfathomable the methods and foundations of both sides truly were.
The Great Xia Dynasty was understandable, after all, it was the hegemon of the Eastern Region. Having such experts could still be accepted.
But wasn't the Great Havenlaw Domain merely a newly risen bumpkin force from the Northern Region? Why did it also possess such monstrous experts.
Then again, Liu Bai had previously stated that he was an elder of the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan and was capable of leading so many Divine Beast geniuses into the Ancient Heavenly Palace. Clearly, he must possess significant status among the Divine Beast races.
Especially since those people all came from the Phoenix Clan and the Kunpeng Clan. With those two races backing him, it was not strange for Liu Bai to possess so many powerful techniques.
"Now it depends on whether this child can survive this calamity..."
With the entire space and time frozen, Liu Bai had become a living target. If he could not break free, what awaited him would be the enemy's fiercest attack!
At this moment, madness appeared on the old man's face.
Within this thousand zhang region, only he himself could move unaffected by the space time seal. After glancing at his two companions who had likewise become "stone statues," a blood red light flashed within his aged eyes.
"Brat, this old man already said that you would definitely die today!"
"Die for me!"
With an enraged roar, the old man transformed into a blazing sun and charged directly toward Liu Bai's position.
"Self detonation?!"
Nobody expected the old man to choose such a brutal method to end his enemy's life. This was completely a strategy of mutual destruction!
Liu Bai was still immobilized and unable to evade or defend himself. If he were struck head on, then no matter how powerful his physical body was, he would still be blown into pieces by the self detonation of an Earth Sovereign.
"Liu Bai!"
On the other side, Mandala also noticed Liu Bai's crisis, and her expression immediately changed. The gigantic Myriad Zhang Mandala Flower beneath her feet instantly shot out a ray of dark light.
Unfortunately, how could the Xia Emperor possibly allow her to succeed at such a moment?
Boom!
Vast and boundless Spiritual Energy swept out from the Xia Emperor like a storm. A majestic phantom resembling an emperor emerged behind him. The figure wore a golden dragon robe and an imperial crown, radiating an inviolable aura of nobility like the ruler of all living beings.
The Rightful Emperor Celestial Body, ranked fortieth on the Ninety Nine Sovereign Celestial Body Ranking. It was an extremely powerful Sovereign Celestial Body and also the foundation upon which the Xia Emperor dominated the Eastern Region.
As the Celestial Body appeared, it directly threw a punch forward.
"Rightful Emperor Divine Fist!"
With that punch, terrifying Spiritual Energy gathered together and actually transformed into a star. The star crushed space apart as it shot toward Mandala like lightning.
Although the dark light of the Ancient Mandala Flower could annihilate Spiritual Energy, it was still directly shattered when facing the Xia Emperor's Rightful Emperor Divine Fist.
At this moment, Mandala's pretty face was filled with icy killing intent. If anything happened to Liu Bai this time, then even if it meant falling into slumber once again, she would make the Xia Emperor pay the price!
Since there was no longer any opportunity to interfere, both Mandala and the Xia Emperor stopped fighting and waited for the final outcome.
Meanwhile, the imprisoned Liu Bai was nowhere near as endangered as outsiders imagined.
The ability to imprison space and time was indeed terrifying, but Liu Bai's Five Element fusion also possessed the power to split heaven and earth apart and create all things. Therefore, a mere Forbidden Space Talisman might be able to imprison him for an instant, but it was absolutely impossible for it to leave him completely unable to resist.
The reason he had not broken free from the imprisonment was because he had been waiting for an opportunity.
And now, that opportunity was right before him.
"Five Element Fusion Power, go!"
He did not use any Sovereign Divine Ability, only the pure power of fused Five Element Origin Energy.
Yet it was precisely this fused Spiritual Energy that directly shattered the space time imprisonment and collided with the old man who resembled a blazing sun.
The earthshaking explosion everyone had expected did not occur. Although the Spiritual Energy within the old man's body had expanded to its limit, enough that exploding might directly annihilate that region of space, the moment it collided with the Five Element fusion sphere, all of his Spiritual Energy seemed to be devoured by it. Meanwhile, the Spiritual Energy sphere, originally only a dozen Zhang in size, suddenly expanded to one hundred Zhang.
And this hundred Zhang Spiritual Energy sphere shot directly toward the old woman and middle aged man who were still imprisoned.
"Not good!"
At this moment, the situation completely reversed, and the one panicking became the Xia Emperor.
If Liu Bai killed these three Earth Sovereigns as well, then the Great Xia Dynasty would truly suffer devastating losses this time!
More importantly, if these three fell, then the balance of the battlefield would instantly collapse. As long as Mandala could hold him back for a short while, the other three Earth Sovereigns of the Great Xia Dynasty would likely be defeated soon after. At that point, they would completely lose all ability to resist, and they could forget about the Ancient Heavenly Palace as well!
Unfortunately, just as he had stopped Mandala earlier, there was no way Mandala would let him interfere now.
The roles had reversed, and the Xia Emperor was equally unable to break through Mandala's obstruction.
"Great Havenlaw Domain Lord, stop! Let today's matter end here. My Great Xia Dynasty will no longer pursue Liu Bai's crimes. Quickly tell him to stop!"
Looking at Mandala standing atop the gigantic Mandala Flower, the Xia Emperor shouted anxiously.
Mandala glanced at the battlefield on the other side and shook her head somewhat regretfully.
"Xia Emperor, you spoke too late. Even if you and I intervene now, we probably cannot save the remaining two."
Hearing this, the Xia Emperor's eyes nearly split apart in fury as he watched helplessly while the Spiritual Energy sphere slammed into the old woman and middle aged man.
Just like the old man earlier, the Spiritual Energy within their bodies, including their Sovereign Celestial Bodies, was devoured by the Spiritual Energy sphere. Then, the now enormous Spiritual Energy sphere suddenly dispersed, transforming into torrents of Five Element Origin Energy that returned to the Five Spirit Deity before separating back into the Five Elements and being re fused by the Five Element Divine Masks.
The Xia Emperor: "..."
As for the surrounding spectators, they once again recognized Liu Bai's terrifying strength.
After combining all the methods Liu Bai had displayed, they suddenly realized that although he was still only at the Initial Phase Lesser Earth Sovereign Realm, his combat power had already reached the level where he could contend against Greater Earth Sovereigns.
How many years had it been since such a terrifying young genius had appeared on the Skylaw Continent?
Even among those Super Forces passed down since ancient times, he would probably still rank among the very best.
At this moment, everyone remembered the name Liu Bai, and they also made a decision in their hearts. During this trip into the Ancient Heavenly Palace, if possible, they absolutely must not provoke such a monstrous individual.
Of course, if they truly had no choice but to provoke him, then they absolutely had to eliminate him completely. Otherwise, it probably would not take long before he turned around and destroyed them instead.
"Xia Emperor, do you still wish to continue?"
Mandala looked calmly at him and spoke lightly.
The Xia Emperor fell silent for a moment, unexpectedly feeling a trace of fear.
Perhaps after today, their Great Xia Dynasty had truly provoked a terrifying enemy they could not afford to offend.
"Stop. Today, my Great Xia Dynasty has lost. I admit defeat!"
Continuing the fight would not end well for them. His only remaining hope now was the Ancient Heavenly Palace. If he could obtain the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance within it, then whether it was the Great Havenlaw Domain or the Divine Beast clans, he would have the confidence and qualifications to face them.
"You may admit defeat, but the loser must show sincerity…" Liu Bai flew over beside Mandala and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.
The reason the Xia Emperor surrendered so decisively was because he had already realized that Liu Bai's combat power was probably not inferior to this seemingly little girl like Great Havenlaw Domain Lord before him.
If he faced either one alone, he had confidence in defeating them. But against both working together, he already felt powerless.
"What do you want?" The Xia Emperor was unsurprised by this. It was only natural for the victor to demand spoils from the defeated.
"One Saint Artifact, or one hundred million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid…"
Liu Bai was clearly making an outrageous demand.
After all, in the original story, the wager between Xia Hong and Lin Jing had been one hundred million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Although that number may have been casually thrown out, Liu Bai really wanted to see whether the Xia Emperor was willing to pay it.
"Impossible!"
"Even a Saint Artifact is worth less than forty million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. One hundred million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid? You really dare to ask for it!"
The Xia Emperor instantly roared in anger.
Mandala also glanced at Liu Bai speechlessly, completely unsure how he had come up with such an astronomical number.
At present, even if they emptied out the entire Great Havenlaw Domain, they still could not gather one hundred million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Perhaps the entire Northern Realm Alliance combined could manage it.
