In order to resist the spiritual energy pressure raging within this space, Mandala personally took action and created a spiritual energy flying boat for everyone. It not only blocked the pressure but also increased their traveling speed.
In just a short while, Liu Bai saw their destination. It was a massive stone island located at the distant horizon.
"This stone island should be what the fallen Fourth Hall Master transformed into." A sharp glint flashed across Mandala's golden eyes. The object she had painstakingly sought for this Great Hunt was finally before her.
Everyone was astonished, but Liu Bai moved closer to Mandala and softly said, "Can you sense whether anyone has entered this space?"
Mandala raised her brows on her delicate face and replied, "Not for now. What do you want to do?"
"Nothing much. I just want to do something big. I wonder if Domain Lord would be willing to take action."
Those words caused Mandala's golden eyes to narrow slightly. She seemed to have guessed Liu Bai's intention.
"You really are bold."
Liu Bai grinned and looked at the solemn expression flashing across her youthful face. "Does Domain Lord not wish for our Great Heavenlaw Domain to advance further?"
"And with one less competitor, there will be one more chance. I believe anyone would think the same. Strike first and gain the upper hand. Strike later and suffer."
"How do you plan to do it?"
Mandala was not someone indecisive. Previously maintaining a low profile was unavoidable. First, she bore a curse. Second, she lacked sufficient helpers. So she could only follow the rules.
If there was truly a chance to reduce the number of competitors, she did not mind taking action.
"Mandala, you still remember the God Annihilation Array, right?"
Mandala nodded, then frowned. "Are you saying you have already gathered the complete God Annihilation Ancient Array?"
Liu Bai chuckled. "You are very smart."
Mandala ignored his tone. Her golden pupils suddenly shrank as she looked at Liu Bai with shock.
Although she had long known from Liu Bai himself that he had reached the level of a Spiritual Array Scholar and had even personally displayed it in the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan, that Void True Flame Array was merely a Low-Level Grandmaster array.
Although that array was powerful, it would still be difficult to kill a Lesser Earth Sovereign above the initial phase.
But the God Annihilation Ancient Array was different. It was a Mid-Level Grandmaster array said to be capable of killing an Greater Earthly Sovereign. Once successfully deployed, no one in the Northern Region would be able to withstand its slaughter.
Taking a deep breath, Mandala suppressed the shock in her heart and stared at Liu Bai with burning eyes.
"Are you confident you can deploy a Mid-Level Grandmaster array?"
Liu Bai smiled faintly, glanced at his attribute panel, and said, "Not yet."
Mandala fell silent.
"But I will be very soon."
As he spoke, a majestic spiritual energy aura burst forth from Liu Bai's body. His cultivation rose from Sixth-Grade Sovereign to Seventh-Grade Sovereign in an instant.
Mandala was silent.
The Three Emperors were silent.
The Kings were silent.
Among those present, only Jiu You curled her lips.
She had only surpassed this fellow for a few days before being caught up again.
After spending over six million experience points to raise his cultivation to Seventh Grade Sovereign, Liu Bai's Sovereign Sea underwent a tremendous transformation once more. His spiritual energy increased several times compared to before.
"With my current spiritual energy, as long as there is sufficient Sovereign Spiritual Liquid for replenishment, I will definitely be able to deploy the God Annihilation Ancient Array within two quarters of an hour."
Liu Bai nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Mandala, only to find her staring at him speechlessly.
"What is it?"
Mandala shook her head. "Nothing. But you should refrain from breaking through anytime and anywhere. It is easy to frighten others."
As she spoke, she pointed toward the Kings.
Liu Bai turned to look and indeed saw them staring at him as if he were a monster.
"Oh, that. My spiritual energy had already reached the limit for breakthrough. I was just suppressing it. Just now I released the suppression, so the breakthrough happened naturally."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of sudden understanding.
As if.
Even those who had reached the limit of spiritual energy would need at least ten days to half a month to break through, sometimes even a year or more.
Yet you simply surged your spiritual energy once and broke through, and you call that natural?
They were more willing to believe that Liu Bai had already broken through long ago and had merely been concealing his strength.
Liu Bai ignored their thoughts and directly looked at Mandala.
"Give me two quarters of an hour to set up the array. I need you to conceal the spiritual energy fluctuations caused by the deployment. Also, keep watch over which faction enters next."
Mandala nodded decisively. "Understood. Do as you please."
With her assurance, Liu Bai took a deep breath and fully immersed himself in the array.
Deploying a Grandmaster array with Sovereign cultivation was still somewhat difficult. However, Liu Bai had prior experience. With his True Heart Eye assisting him and the God Annihilation Ancient Array already at great mastery, he was confident.
As spiritual seals rapidly flew from Liu Bai's hands and merged into the void, special spiritual energy fluctuations appeared in the world.
Those at the Sovereign realm would find it difficult to detect them, but Mandala, as an Earthly Sovereign, could easily sense them. She immediately acted, using spatial power to confine those fluctuations so they could not spread.
At the same time, her divine sense covered the entire space, monitoring every disturbance.
At this moment, Liu Bai's earlier actions bore fruit.
Due to the differences in the number of Fallen Origin Pills each faction possessed, the speed at which they crack the outer sealing runes varied. This created a time gap in entering this secret treasury.
The gap might not be long, perhaps only dozens of minutes, but it was enough for Liu Bai and the others to gain the initiative.
Under normal circumstances, seeking Spiritual Divine Liquid would be more important. The other Earthly Sovereigns would never assume that Mandala would be so mad as to attempt to kill them.
But the reality was that Liu Bai's existence created an unexpected variable, leading to a misjudgment that would cost them their lives.
Time passed quickly.
While Liu Bai absorbed Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to restore his spiritual energy and frantically deployed the array, Mandala's divine sense finally detected spatial fluctuations in the distance.
Soon, two factions entered this world.
"Hm? It is actually people from Myriad Saint Mountain and Snake God Palace who arrived first." Mandala frowned.
To the south of Liu Bai and the others, endless hissing echoed through the air. An old man in green robes holding a snake staff rode upon a giant python a thousand feet long. As the python flicked its tongue, poisonous gas lingered and formed toxic clouds.
He was the Hall Master of Snake God Palace, the Venemous Reverend Snake.
As for the ancestor of Myriad Saint Mountain, he wore a white robe adorned with stars and held a white jade staff, carrying an immortal bearing.
Although two factions appeared at once, Mandala chose Venemous Reverend Snake. as their target without hesitation.
Among the seven Earthly Sovereigns, he was considered one of the weaker ones. Though his poison techniques were troublesome, under a sudden attack he would be the easiest to eliminate.
"Hiss hiss. Domain Lord of Great Heavenlaw Domain is truly remarkable to have arrived here so early."
Venemous Reverend Snake extended his tongue, his hoarse voice accompanied by the hissing of snakes.
However, what responded to him was not Mandala's words, but a pitch black beam of destruction.
"Domain Lord of Great Heavenlaw Domain, what are you doing?"
The smile on Venemous Reverend Snake's face had not yet faded before it froze in place.
He could not understand what madness had seized Mandala that she would dare to attack him directly.
On the other side, the Myriad Saint Ancestor who had just been about to speak was also somewhat stunned. However, seeing that the two had already begun fighting, he did not bother about the reason and immediately led the people of Myriad Saint Mountain to retreat some distance to avoid being dragged into their battle.
"Master, what is happening?" Within the Myriad Saint Mountain group, Saintess Su Biyue frowned slightly as she asked the Myriad Saint Ancestor beside her.
The Myriad Saint Ancestor shook his head. "I do not know either. Perhaps there is some enmity between them. For now, Myriad Saint Mountain will not get involved in this matter."
Naturally, the Myriad Saint Ancestor understood what his disciple was thinking.
Strictly speaking, Myriad Saint Mountain and Great Heavenlaw Domain were considered allies in this Great Hunting War.
Moreover, if Liu Bai had not given them one hundred thousand Fallen Origin Pills earlier, Myriad Saint Mountain would not have been able to enter this space so quickly.
It was just unclear why the Snake God Palace had also arrived so fast, even earlier than the Demon Gate.
Although the Myriad Saint Ancestor understood these things, Mandala's reaction was truly puzzling, so for the time being he had no intention of wading into this muddy water and could only watch from the sidelines.
On the other side, Venemous Reverend Snake had already displayed his Divine Beast Body. A terrifying giant python stretching for ten thousand feet sprawled across the sky.
Likewise, Mandala was not to be outdone. A ten thousand foot flower vine rose from the ground. At the top of the vine, a massive black flower bloomed, and Mandala's petite figure stood upon the pistil as terrifying waves of destruction aura radiated from the vine.
"Snake God Devours the Heavens!"
Venemous Reverend Snake slammed his emerald snake staff heavily onto the ground. Immediately, the ten thousand foot giant serpent in the sky lunged toward Mandala to devour her.
This space had been transformed from the Sovereign Sea of the Fourth Hall Master and was vastly different from the outside world. The most obvious difference was that the space here was far more stable. Even with two Earth Sovereigns battling, it remained resilient.
Mandala looked at the giant serpent that was devouring toward her, her expression indifferent. She raised her small hand and pointed forward, saying calmly, "Mandala Destruction Heavenly Light."
This was Mandala's own innate Divine Ability. In the hands of others, it would at most be a Great Perfection Divine Art level technique, but in Mandala's own hands it possessed limitless might.
Black destructive divine light shot out from the Mandala flower and flew directly toward the ten thousand foot giant serpent.
Venemous Reverend Snake naturally would not show weakness. He directly controlled the giant serpent to swallow Mandala's Destruction Heavenly Light in one gulp.
However, in the next instant, his expression changed drastically because the giant serpent under his control was pierced straight through by that destructive light, which burst out from the tail of the serpent.
This scene caused Venemous Reverend Snake's expression to turn extremely unsightly, for it meant that his attack was actually inferior to that little girl's.
Just as he was about to say something and question why Mandala had attacked him, a deadly sense of danger suddenly came from another direction.
Venemous Reverend Snake abruptly turned his head, and what he saw was yet another strange flower appearing between heaven and earth.
The terrifying Slaughter Divine Flower reappeared, but this time it was completely different from the one Liu Bai had previously displayed. The original blood colored slaughter runes had turned into pitch black destruction runes. The once blood colored divine flower had also dimmed somewhat. Terrifying power permeated the flower, tearing apart the surrounding space.
A grand array spread across the heavens and earth, and the massive divine flower locked firmly onto Venemous Reverend Snake.
"Not good. It is a trap!"
At this moment, how could Venemous Reverend Snake not realize that he had fallen into a scheme.
Mandala's earlier attack had been to stall him while concealing the fluctuations of this array.
"Domain Lord of Great Heavenlaw Domain, there was no conflict between us. If there is anything, we can sit down and discuss it properly…"
Sensing the threat of death, Venemous Reverend Snake was greatly alarmed and spoke rapidly.
"You should survive this first before speaking to me." Mandala said expressionlessly, directly extinguishing Venemous Reverend Snake's hope of begging for mercy.
"If that is the case, then none of you will have it easy!"
Venemous Reverend Snake roared in fury as terrifying Spiritual Energy erupted from his body. Under this eruption, even some experts of the Snake God Palace who had not retreated in time were affected. They were directly shaken into clouds of blood mist by the horrifying Spiritual Energy and then devoured by Venemous Reverend Snake.
This scene made the scalp of those on the Great Heavenlaw Domain side go numb. Everyone immediately retreated some distance, afraid of being caught in the aftermath of such a battle.
Mandala also revealed a rare solemn expression at this moment, but such a level was still not enough to injure her.
Moreover, based on Mandala's understanding of Venemous Reverend Snake, that old snake likely did not truly possess the courage to perish together with her.
At this time, Liu Bai, who was controlling the grand array, was already drenched in sweat.
With his current cultivation, it was still somewhat unrealistic for him to control this grand array with complete ease. However, with Mandala restraining from the side, killing a Lower Earth Sovereign was not difficult.
As the seal in his hands changed, the divine flower that had gathered three terrifying powers slowly rotated. A pitch black light rapidly brewed within the flower, then surged out like a torrent, sweeping horizontally toward Venemous Reverend Snake.
Wherever the divine light passed, space shattered completely, displaying a far more overbearing destructive force than even Mandala and Venemous Reverend Snake.
