As Mu Chen had expected, after the three men escaped from his clutches, his fame spread throughout the Upper Earthly Sovereigns battlefield. However, Mu Chen didn't know exactly how the news spread, and he wondered…

How exactly is this information exchanged?

However, this also caused some trouble for Mu Chen, as he found that now, when he set up a spiritual array and continued to lay in wait, even if Upper Earthly Sovereigns appeared, all of them chose to retreat immediately once they saw the spiritual array.

In the past, they may have underestimated Mu Chen, as he was a mere Lower Earthly Sovereign, but now, everyone knew that Mu Chen was an Intermediate Spiritual Array Ancestral Master. As such, his levels of spiritual arrays were enough to threaten any Upper Earthly Sovereign.

In the Great Thousand World, it was basically common sense not to easily engage in positional warfare with a well-prepared Spiritual Array Master. Thus, no one wanted to get within ten thousand feet of Mu Chen!

This reveal of Mu Chen's identity as a Spiritual Array Ancestral Master was undoubtedly a great deterrent to his opponents, but it was not necessarily good news for Mu Chen. After all, he wanted to win battle seals, but to do so, he must defeat the other competitors!

However, as these guys were all cunning foxes at the moment and would not enter the scope of the spiritual array, Mu Chen could not fight anyone, much less win their battle seals. This made Mu Chen feel helpless.

Of course, the spiritual array was not his only trump card. Yet, he did not intend to reveal his other trump cards. After all, catching people unaware would give him an advantage. Hence, he must save them for a rainy day.

During the next two days, Mu Chen did not obtain a single battle seal. However, there was one Upper Earthly Sovereign who came to break the spiritual array.

When he came, Mu Chen failed to intercept him. This was because he was too slippery and was carrying a Sacred Object that that allowed him to escape through space.

Then, when the interloper saw that the situation was going south, he ran away immediately, and even Mu Chen could not stop him. Mu Chen could only see the prey that was about to fall into his trap vanish before his very eyes!

After this battle, Mu Chen's reputation rose yet again, and no one to dared to provoke him. Even if Upper Earthly Sovereigns passed by Mu Chen, they immediately moved away, only glancing back at him from a distance.

Mu Chen could only sigh. However, although Mu Chen was exasperated, he refused to be in a hurry. He knew that the cruel fighting in the battlefield would eliminate more and more ordinary Upper Earthly Sovereigns as time went by, leaving only the elite behind.

These elite would then certainly eye his battle seals covetously, and once they felt that they had found a weakness, they would attack Mu Chen ferociously. Therefore, Mu Chen knew that it was only a matter of time before his time would come.

…

At the moment, Mu Chen sat quietly on a mountain, surrounded by innumerable spiritual seals. The space fluctuated violently as the spiritual seals flickered like stars.

A complete and powerful spiritual array was hidden in the surrounding area. Every time the spiritual energy in this spiritual array surged, it would cause huge waves to roll over the sea.

Whoosh!

In a distant place, a whistling rushed through the air. At that moment, a figure emerged in the air.

He then stood in mid-air hundreds of miles away from Mu Chen and frowned at the spiritual array that was surrounding him. After pondering for a moment, he turned and left.

Mu Chen watched as the figure disappear, his eyes shining. He perceived a vast spiritual oppression coming from the figure, like the power of the sea, which was stronger than the Fire Cloud King's and the Zishan Sect Master's, whom he had defeated before.

”They are getting stronger indeed…” Mu Chen murmured.

In these two days, the Upper Earthly Sovereigns who he had encountered were growing stronger. Clearly, after surviving several cruel eliminations, those who remained in the battlefield were all formidable characters.

”In that case, it should be soon...” he murmured.

As the Upper Earthly Sovereigns who were left behind became stronger and stronger, the deterrent effect provided by the Nine Dragons' Deicide Array gradually weakened.

He could feel that, these days, quite a few of the top Upper Earthly Sovereigns were secretly spying on the array, trying to find some flaw in it. That was to say, the Nine Dragons' Deicide Array was starting to lose its intimidation factor. According to Mu Chen's estimation, within one day, someone would most likely come to take a shot at him.

Mu Chen smiled nonchalantly as he closed his eyes. He was interested to see who would be so confident as to come and take a shot at him. Then, that day quickly arrived...

Whoosh!

As the sea surged, the waves slammed heavily on the shore. Their rumbling sound, like thunder, spread far above the boundless sea.
