In the dim yellow sky, Mu Chen smiled as he held a red scroll in his hand. In front of him, the Fire Cloud King's body had dissipated, as he had lost his battle seal and was kicked out of the battlefield.

After his previous threat, Mu Chen had achieved his goal easily. He had obtained the Fire Cloud King's Fire Escape Super Power effortlessly.

It wasn't too hard to do this, after all, as the Fire Cloud King was already akin to a fish on the chopping board. In this battlefield, life and death were impermanent, so no one could say anything at this time, even if Mu Chen was going to injure or even kill him.

Maybe the Fire Cloud King still had one last shot, but after that, he was going to suffer a lot of damage and after-effects. The consequences were quite serious, so, after a struggle, he chose his life over his Super Power.

”Spiritual Fire Divine Escape!” Mu Chen yelled, while he grasped the scroll and imbued it with his spiritual energy.

Information then flowed into his mind. This Spiritual Fire Divine Escape was only a minor Super Power Technique that would normally not interest Mu Chen. However, its speed and ability to penetrate spiritual arrays were of interest to Mu Chen. Otherwise, he would have been too lazy to threaten the Fire Clouds King with it.

In order to practice this Spiritual Fire Divine Escape, it must first be activated by spiritual energy flames. As Mu Chen's spiritual energy had been integrated with the Unperishable Flame, it allowed him to achieve this condition.

Mu Chen kept the scroll and was quite satisfied with the results. Not only had he obtained two battle seals, but he had also gotten a defensive Lesser Sacred Object and a Fire Escape Super Power.

”Now that I have three battle seals, I have to keep one. So, I need two more to exchange for the Three Spirits Battle Array,” Mu Chen murmured to himself.

But, now that I have three battle seals, I'm afraid I don't need to take the initiative to find someone. Instead, someone will come to me. In that case, I just need to make the arrangements, then wait for someone to rob me.

Mu Chen smiled, then soared towards the sky, charging away even further. As the previous place, which had been destroyed by the battle, was no longer suitable to set up a spiritual array, he needed to find another place.

At the end of the battle, in the White Jade Square of the Western Kingdom War City, his Spiritual Energy Screen had dissipated. However, numerous eyes were still looking at where it had just been in a dazed manner.

Before that, they saw how the Fire Clouds King was in hot pursuit of Mu Chen. Then, Mu Chen had produced a powerful spiritual array, which forced the Fire Clouds King to retreat. Next, Mu Chen dared to take the initiative to leave the spiritual array, clashing with the Fire Clouds King head-on.

Upon seeing that scene, many Sovereigns mocked Mu Chen's arrogance, claiming that he was overwhelmed by a moment's advantage. However, before their ridicule had died down completely, their eyes widened as they saw that, in just a few moments, the Fire Clouds King fell into Mu Chen's hands!

It was not until a long time after the light screen had dissipated that many powerful Sovereigns looked at each other, fear and wariness flickering in their eyes. If they had heard about Mu Chen's encounter with Xiong Ba, they might have thought that Mu Chen's means were mostly tricks. However, in this battle, Mu Chen's power that he revealed was enough to pose a great threat to Upper Earthly Sovereigns.

”Who would have thought that Mu Chen was so accomplished at spiritual arrays? The previous one must have reached the rank of an Intermediate Ancestral Master.” One of the Sovereigns sighed.

Though they all knew that, in the Luo God Clan, Mu Chen had achieved extraordinary spiritual array attainments, this one was obviously stronger than any of those back then. Many of the Sovereigns couldn't help but comment on this...

”This fellow is strange indeed. He is only a Lower Earthly Sovereign, but his means are no less inferior to Upper Earthly Sovereigns'. No wonder he dared to compete in the Upper Earthly Sovereigns battlefield. He surely has some cards up his sleeve.”

”He seems to be a dark horse, but I just don't know how far he can get. After all, given the current situation, I'm afraid he has a long way to go from the first echelon.”

”That's right, Ling Zhanzi, who is ranked first now, has six battle seals.”

Many whispers spread around the square, but this time, they held no contempt. Everyone now understood that Mu Chen was indeed qualified to fight with the Upper Earthly Sovereigns.

Luo Tianshen heaved a quiet sigh of relief. Although he had an understanding of Mu Chen's means, when he really saw Mu Chen defeat an Upper Earthly Sovereign, he couldn't help but be amazed.

According to his estimate, if he had to face Mu Chen, he would most likely be defeated. This made Luo Tianshen smile bitterly.

The first time he saw Mu Chen a few years ago, Mu Chen was really unremarkable in his eyes. Though he did not look down on Mu Chen, it was clear that he did not regard him as a threat.

Who would have expected that, just a few years later, the young man who had been powerless in front of him would have risen to this stage, even surpassing him?

Luo Tianshen sighed, suppressing his conflicted emotions. He then murmured, ”Let's see how far this boy can go…”

Before the War Temple, above the two thrones, the West Heaven War Emperor glanced at the spot where the Spiritual Energy Screen had shown Mu Chen previously. He smiled faintly and said, ”No wonder the Flame Emperor will let Mu Chen enter the Upper Earthly Sovereigns battlefield, as he is also an Intermediate Spiritual Array Ancestral Master.”

”But, such a card only proves that he is qualified to compete with the Upper Earthly Sovereigns. It is unlikely that he will win the title,” The West Heaven War Emperor remarked nonchalantly.

If the rank of Intermediate Spiritual Array Ancestral Master was Mu Chen's ace card, then he was bound to be unqualified to compete for the title of Child of the Continent. Ling Zhanzi and the others were the best among the Upper Earthly Sovereigns in the land. The spiritual array could deal with Fire Clouds King, but would not pose a great threat to Sovereigns like Ling Zhanzi.

Upon hearing the War Emperor's words, the Flame Emperor smiled in a non-committal way and said, ”But, I feel young friend Mu Chen will not waste my Dragon-Phoenix Heavenly Sovereign Pill.”

The War Emperor narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the light screens and nodded. He then said in amusement, ”I'll wait and see then. Let's hope this boy won't disappoint you…”

In his opinion, if Mu Chen could hold out till the end, that was good enough. As for competing for the championship, haha, when the time comes, the three Holy Children of the Western Kingdom War Temple may teach him a lesson...

…

Once he was far away from the previous battle ground, Mu Chen finally slowed down. As he now had three battle seals in his hands, he knew that his position would appear in the other Sovereigns' battle seals. In less than an hour, he sensed several spiritual fluctuations approaching him.
