As they looked at the mausoleum around them, where space itself was shattered like black holes, shock appeared on everyone's faces.
The endless mausoleum seemed to drift within boundless void. Around its outer regions, space was broken apart, with countless spatial fragments forming violent torrents that howled around it like natural barriers.
Of course, the most terrifying thing was still the two terrifying pressures faintly emanating from within the mausoleum, causing everyone to feel fear in their hearts.
Jiu You and the others cautiously stepped inside. They then saw that within the endless mausoleum, countless majestic mountain peaks floated in the sky, while the earth below was covered in bottomless cracks that twisted across the land like black dragons.
"The space here has already been shattered. Even the laws themselves have become chaotic," Xiao Xiao said with a solemn expression as she looked at the scene.
Just what kind of battle could leave this place unable to recover even after tens of thousands of years?
At the same time, streams of light descended from the distant horizon and finally landed within the Heavenly Emperor Mausoleum.
Jiu You glanced over and recognized many of them as the heavenly talents from various factions whom she had seen at the Heavenly River earlier, those who had obtained high level baptisms.
Even Xia Yu, the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, was present. Clearly because of Liu Bai's influence, he had fortunately survived instead of dying like in the original story, becoming the Great Xia Dynasty's sole candidate to enter the Heavenly Emperor Mausoleum.
However, when Xia Yu saw Jiu You and the others, a trace of fear flashed across his face. Without any hesitation, he directly crushed the spatial jade slip in his hand.
This scene was like the activation of some kind of signal. Everyone who had entered the Heavenly Emperor Mausoleum immediately began summoning the experts behind them, afraid that if they were even one step slower, something unexpected might happen.
Naturally, Jiu You did the same.
At this moment, Liu Bai, who had been waiting outside the Ancient Heaven Palace, sensed it the instant Jiu You crushed the spatial jade slip. With a wave of his hand, a spatial vortex formed before him.
"The spatial passage has opened. Everyone, come in with me."
Following Liu Bai's words, Mandala and the others immediately stood up. Liu Bai took the lead as they successively stepped into the spatial passage before them.
The moment he stepped out of the spatial passage, Liu Bai felt two terrifying auras lock onto him. An indescribable fear instantly enveloped his heart.
This was the body's instinctive reaction when facing truly supreme experts. Liu Bai quickly expelled the feeling from his mind.
However, that did not remove the oppressive feeling in the surrounding environment. Here, his control over space had weakened by at least half!
His gaze turned toward Jiu You and the others, and he noticed that whether it was Jiu You, Mo Ling, or the Three Beast Servants, the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from them had become much stronger. A smile appeared on Liu Bai's face.
At the very least, their trip to the Ancient Heaven Palace had not been without gains.
After seeing Liu Bai and the others appear, Jiu You's group immediately walked over.
However, before Liu Bai could speak, Jiu You directly walked past him and arrived before Mandala.
"Domain Lord, I have completed my mission without failing your expectations!"
As she spoke, she waved her sleeve. Endless dark light immediately blossomed forth, directly transforming into an ancient divine flower before her, dark and enchanting.
Boundless dark light radiated from it, to the point that even light itself seemed to disappear into the flower.
The sudden appearance of this ancient divine flower instantly attracted countless shocked gazes throughout the Heavenly Emperor Mausoleum. Especially among the top experts, every single one of them had a drastic change in expression, clearly sensing the terrifying fluctuations contained within the flower.
"Mandala, you actually found your true body!"
A furious and shocked voice rang out. Liu Bai immediately raised his head to look.
In the distance, space suddenly distorted as a figure seemed to step through ripples in space itself. Though his steps appeared slow, in the next instant he directly appeared before them.
The newcomer gave no one time to react and directly reached toward the Mandala Flower floating in midair.
"Heh, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Liu Bai narrowed his eyes. Taking one step forward, he directly blocked the figure's path.
Mandala merely glanced calmly at the newcomer. There was no need to think. In the entire Great Thousand World, there was only one person who would react so strongly to her finding her true body. It was the former mount of the Heavenly Emperor and the current ruler of the Southern Region, the Palace Master of the Demonic Saint Palace, Lu Huan!
Although Mandala clearly understood Lu Huan's strength, once she saw Liu Bai step forward to face him, her reaction became calm. She directly walked toward the enchanting flower, which bloomed at that moment and allowed Mandala to enter its center.
"You will not succeed!" Lu Huan became even more furious and alarmed. The speed of his hand increased by another thirty percent.
Unfortunately, there was still someone standing before him.
Although he had noticed Liu Bai, Liu Bai's cultivation was simply too deceptive. He was only at the initial phase of Lesser Earth Sovereign, so Lu Huan did not care about him at all. This palm strike was intended to directly crush Liu Bai and stop Mandala's fusion.
At this moment, many top experts had already appeared within the Heavenly Emperor Mausoleum, but all of them chose to observe from the sidelines.
The only one tempted to act was the Xia Emperor. Seeing Liu Bai voluntarily intercept Lu Huan while Mandala was in the middle of fusing with her true body, it was obvious neither of them could stop him.
As for Liu Tiandao and the others, they were merely three Lesser Earth Sovereigns. The Xia Emperor did not place them in his eyes at all.
Such an opportunity was incredibly rare and fleeting, leaving him no time to hesitate.
Without any hesitation, the Xia Emperor directly attacked. A torrent of spiritual energy descended like a heavenly river piercing through the void as it blasted straight toward the Mandala Flower.
This scene greatly shocked Jiu You and the others. Even Liu Tiandao and his group were filled with horror. However, just as they were about to intervene, the many Earth Sovereigns behind the Xia Emperor had already locked onto them firmly.
The moment the three of them dared to move, they would immediately face storm like attacks.
However, in the face of the Xia Emperor's sudden attack, Liu Bai merely smiled faintly. Dense golden dragon scales rose across his right fist as he directly threw a punch toward Lu Huan's attack without the slightest concern.
Under the shocked and confused gazes of everyone else, the petals of the Mandala Flower rapidly spread open in the sky. Dark light radiated outward, and wherever the light passed, all light itself was devoured. The torrent of spiritual energy was silently annihilated the instant it made contact.
Looking at that incomparably domineering dark light, the Xia Emperor's expression became extremely ugly.
"That is the Dark Light of the Ancient Mandala Flower. It is said to dissolve all attacks and is incomparably tyrannical," one knowledgeable top expert could not help but say.
After all, Ancient Mandala Flowers were already exceedingly rare, and one cultivated to such a level was even rarer.
"To erase even an Greater Earth Sovereign's attack so easily, the ruler of the Great Havenlaw Domain is truly extraordinary. It seems another great figure will soon rise on the Skylaw Continent."
Such thoughts arose in everyone's minds.
Seeing that his attack had failed, the Xia Emperor gritted his teeth. Since he had already made a move, there was no turning back, so he had to seize this opportunity to eliminate Mandala.
Meanwhile, Lu Huan, who was fighting Liu Bai, naturally saw this as well. However, he had not expected the brat before him, who was only at the initial phase of Lesser Earth Sovereign, to be so troublesome. For now, he could only hold Liu Bai back and create an opportunity for the Xia Emperor.
Although the two had not exchanged a single word, their shared interests had formed a strange tacit understanding between them.
However, once the Xia Emperor's first attack failed, he had already missed his final opportunity.
Dark light continuously blossomed from the Mandala Flower as Mandala's figure gradually became illusory before finally merging completely into the flower.
Buzz!
At the instant the two completely fused together, a dark beam tens of thousands of feet in size suddenly shot into the sky. Terrifying spiritual energy swept wildly across the heavens and earth as an indescribable pressure spread outward.
The Xia Emperor's expression changed drastically. He seemed to hear sacred chants echoing from the void itself, while the enchanting flower spread its petals as though dancing joyfully. With every movement of the flower, the entire world trembled slightly.
At this moment, every top expert sensed the pressure emanating from the dark light, and their expressions completely changed as shock surged into their hearts.
Great Perfection Earth Sovereign!
That was right. The spiritual energy fluctuations radiating from Mandala had already reached the Great Perfection Earth Sovereign level, making her the strongest person present.
However, after the initial shock, many people quickly revealed mocking expressions as they looked toward the Xia Emperor, whose face had already turned ashen.
Just moments ago, he had tried to launch a sneak attack while someone else was fusing with their true body. Not only had he failed, but now he would have to face the retaliation of a powerhouse who had reached Great Perfection Earth Sovereign. It seemed the Xia Emperor was truly finished this time!
"I never expected the Alliance Leader to possess such power. It seems I was too shortsighted," Liu Tiandao could not help but sigh.
Beside him, Myriad Saint Ancestor glanced at him and said calmly, "What? Did Hall Master Liu already prepare an escape route for himself just now?"
Liu Tiandao's expression stiffened at those words before he pretended to be angry and said, "Myriad Saint Ancestor, do not judge a gentleman with the heart of a petty man. I was just thinking about how to risk my life to stop them from going too far!"
Myriad Saint Ancestor and the Demon Emperor exchanged glances before both smiling. A cheerful atmosphere instantly spread among the three of them.
Seeing Mandala successfully fuse with her true body, restoring her cultivation to its original realm and even improving slightly, Lu Huan became both furious and alarmed. He inwardly cursed the Xia Emperor for being an idiot.
He knew very well that with the grudge between himself and Mandala, it was a relationship where only one could survive. Even if he chose to retreat now, Mandala would definitely not let him off easily.
Thinking of this, Lu Huan no longer held back. He intended to use the brief interval before Mandala completely merged with her power to first eliminate Liu Bai.
If it truly came to a life and death situation, then he would have no choice but to take the final step.
Boom!
Vast and boundless spiritual energy swept outward like a storm as Lu Huan directly threw a punch forward.
With this punch, terrifying spiritual energy gathered together and transformed into a star. Crushing space apart, the star blasted toward Liu Bai with lightning speed.
If an ordinary Lesser Earth Sovereign were struck by Lu Huan's punch, they would either suffer severe injuries or be killed outright.
However, the earlier exchange had already made Lu Huan realize that the brat before him was no ordinary Lesser Earth Sovereign. Especially because true dragon characteristics actually existed on Liu Bai's body, and that aura even caused Lu Huan to feel pressure.
Clearly, Lu Huan's true form was an Ancient Blood Flood Dragon. Although it was also a top tier divine beast, there was still a considerable gap between it and super divine beasts like true dragons and true phoenixes.
In truth, Liu Bai was very curious. With the Heavenly Emperor's strength and status back then, why was his mount merely a small Blood Flood Dragon, and such a weak one at that.
The only explanation Liu Bai could think of was that Lu Huan had likely followed the Heavenly Emperor since before the latter had risen to power. However, due to the limitations of his bloodline, even after the Heavenly Emperor became one of the Great Thousand World's supreme experts, Lu Huan's cultivation had remained unable to improve.
After such a long period of time, Lu Huan must have accumulated endless dissatisfaction in his heart. Once the Feind Race provoked him slightly, he immediately chose betrayal.
Thinking of all this, Liu Bai looked at Lu Huan's savage face and felt that his guess was at least seventy percent accurate.
Facing the descending star, Liu Bai flicked his finger, and the golden Great Wheel Bright King Pearl immediately appeared in the sky.
Boom!
Brilliant golden light flooded the heavens and earth, even faintly suppressing the dark glow of the Mandala Flower.
A golden giant figure tens of thousands of feet tall appeared between heaven and earth. It then raised its enormous palm and smashed a punch directly into the star.
If Lu Huan's earlier punch could kill a Lesser Earth Sovereign, then the Great Wheel Bright King Golden Body within the Great Wheel Bright King Array could kill even an Greater Earth Sovereign with a single punch!
Although the Great Wheel Bright King Array had merely been refined from the corpse of a Lesser Earth Sovereign, after receiving the enhancement of the grand array, it could still unleash the power of a high tier Grandmaster Spiritual Array.
Under that single punch, the seemingly invincible star instantly melted away the moment it touched the golden light on the Great Wheel Bright King Golden Body's fist. The enormous fist then continued forward without stopping and smashed toward Lu Huan.
At this moment, Lu Huan felt death descend upon him.
"Roar!"
A sound resembling both the roar of a lion tiger and the cry of a dragon echoed through the heavens and earth as a Blood Flood Dragon tens of thousands of feet long stretched across the sky.
However, aside from its blood red color, strands of dense black fog were now spewing from its mouth, dyeing the crimson scales on its body into an evil black.
In an instant, everyone could sense the evil aura emanating from the black fog. Sharp screeches that shook the soul rang out from within it, causing one's blood and qi to churn violently.
Mandala, who had already completed her fusion, stepped out from the blood red petals. Looking at this scene, she coldly said.
"So you have already been corrupted by demonic qi…"
