Whoosh!

A glimmer of light flashed through the void with lightning speed and headed straight for the spiritual puppet in the sky over the rocky island. Although Mu Chen was discreet and concealed his actions, it was ultimately impossible to escape the Lord of Divine Pavilion’s perception.

Hmph!

Although the Lord of Divine Pavilion was not clear about the intention behind Mu Chen’s move, he was experienced in combat and cautious, thus he was unwilling to allow any unexpected circumstances. He hummed coldly and grasped at the space, only to see the space twist and distort as he attempted to block and capture the glimmer of light.

Boom!

However, while the Lord of the Divine Pavilion struck, a cold glint flashed in Mandela’s golden eyes, and she stretched out her slender fingers suddenly, pressing down on the void.

The moment she pressed down, immense spiritual power swept out and transformed into a huge Spiritual Energy Light Finger thousands of feet long. Crystallized spiritual energy layers covered the light finger, making it seem indestructible.

The Spiritual Energy Light Finger charged towards the Lord of the Divine Pavilion. Meanwhile, the rest of the Earthly Sovereigns did not hesitate to strike. Exhibiting their own means, their brutal offensive attacks carried power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth. The attacks surged overwhelmingly as they enveloped the Lord of the Divine Pavilion.

Faced with Mandela and the others’ sudden attacks, the Lord of Divine Pavilion knitted his brows into a frown. He had to give up obstructing the glimmer of light, but he pressed his palm against the void.

Boom!

When his palm pressed down onto the void, the space shattered and collapsed. If one observed from beyond the nine heavens, they would find that it seemed that the space had collapsed directly into a massive Void Palm Print.

This palm’s power was enough to bury and destroy the mountains and rivers.

As the blow descended, no matter if it were Mandela or the rest of the Earthly Sovereigns, all their attacks were crushed under the palm as it dissipated into light spots.

Mandela and the others all let out muffled grunts as they were impacted by the blow. Their expressions turned downcast, as they did not expect that even with several people joining forces to attack, they would still be unable to match up with the Lord of the Divine Pavilion.

This Upper Earthly Sovereign was terrifying indeed!

“Haha, resistance is futile. You are all merely courting death.” Darkness pooled at the Lord of the Divine Pavilion’s feet, and a faint smile appeared on his face. His gaze was filled with contempt. His present strength was enough to dominate the North Territory.

Mandela and the others’ expressions were steely with rage as they clenched their fists tightly. Facing such a situation, they had to risk their lives to put up a desperate fight. The only thing they could expect now was that the Lord of the Divine Pavilion had yet to fully master and control the supreme power of an Upper Earthly Sovereign. If they poured all their efforts into the attack, there might be a chance of survival. As long as they managed to escape alive, when the news spread, the Divine Pavilion would be asking for destruction.

Behind Mandela, Mu Chen’s expression also changed slightly because of the power the Lord of the Divine Pavilion exhibited, but then his gaze turned focused. In the distance, that dim glimmer of light finally appeared in the sky over the rocky island.

However, what made Mu Chen’s heart sink was that when the dim light approached, the spiritual puppet sitting cross-legged in the sky above the rocky island remained motionless, as if it did not sense anything.

“How could it be?”

Mu Chen’s eyebrows wrinkled into a frown. This item was quite mysterious. According to his conjecture, it was very likely that it was left behind by the Fourth Hall Master, but why did it not react to the spiritual puppet now?

Mu Chen’s gaze flickered and a moment later, he gritted his teeth and flicked his finger. He detonated the spiritual energy that was surrounding the glimmer of light, and then shot it directly into the brow of the spirit puppet.

As the glimmer of light surged into it, the spiritual puppet still did not respond. Finally, Mu Chen’s beam of light shot directly into its forehead. As sparks flashed, a glow was embedded on its forehead.

This was a desperate attempt, purely to see if it would work, but to his surprise, when the glow was embedded between the spiritual puppet’s eyebrows, the hollow eyes that had been closed slowly opened again.

The glimmer of light on the forehead glowed brighter as ancient symbols emerged and spread, transforming into strange and ancient runes. Finally, the runes seemed to be squirming, wriggling little by little into the hollow eyes of the spiritual puppet.

When the runes penetrated the spiritual puppet’s pupils, the original hollow pupils began to exhibit a coalescing mystical light, and a strange ripple began to spread out from the spiritual puppet.

Suddenly, the spiritual puppet’s strange fluctuation was detected by the Lord of the Divine Pavilion and other people in the distance. His eyebrows knitted into a frown, and he glared at Mu Chen. Obviously, the spiritual puppet exhibited these changes because of Mu Chen’s prior actions.

Mu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that his guess was true. This mysterious object had indeed been left behind by the Fourth Hall Master, but he did not know what kind of role this object could play…
