Boom!
Vast spiritual energy with Lin Dong Elder at the center swept out in all directions. It charged with a domineering aura into the region Mu Chen and Luo Li occupied.
Crash!
Under the impact of such an aggressive attack, both Mu Chen and Luo Li's bodies were shocked. Even if the Sovereign Celestial Bodies behind them erupted with majestic spiritual energy, their spiritual line of defense was still gradually being eroded.
Although the two were outstanding among Lower Earthly Sovereigns and could even challenge those a rank higher, Lin Dong Elder was not an Upper Earthly Sovereign, but a true Complete Earthly Sovereign! This level of existence, in terms of mere spiritual energy, was able to crush Mu Chen and Luo Li.
At the moment, their confrontation was only a matter of territory division using spiritual energy and not a real battle. Otherwise, in the event of a battle, it would have been hard for Mu Chen and Luo Li to even stand a chance, even if they were to join forces. After all, the gap between a Lower Earthly Sovereign and a Complete Earthly Sovereign was too wide to bridge.
Lin Dong Elder saw he was gradually encroaching upon Mu Chen and Luo Li's spiritual energy line of defense. He smirked coldly. At this speed, perhaps the amount of time it took a stick of incense to burn, he could take up about 70% or even 80% of the starry sky! Even with his usual calm demeanor, he was filled with ecstasy at the thought of dominating 80% of the Baptism of the Continent's Strength.
”What a blessing!” Lin Dong Elder laughed merrily in his heart. If Mu Chen and Luo Li had not won the titles of Child of the Continent this time and displeased the West Heaven War Emperor, he would not have had such an opportunity.
After all, according to the rules of the past, in order to consider the quota of Lower and Upper Earthly Sovereigns, the Baptism of the Continent's Strength was equally distributed under the War Emperor's jurisdiction.
As Lin Dong Elder was pleased with himself, Luo Li's brows knit together tightly as she looked at Mu Chen. ”Mu Chen, what do we do now? If things go on like this, we will not have much Baptism of the Continent's Strength left.”
Mu Chen took a deep breath. The pressure Lin Dong Elder put on him did not surprise him. Sure enough, a Complete Earthly Sovereign was much more powerful than an Upper Earthly Sovereign like Ling Zhanzi. However, it was not that easy to snatch away the Baptism of the Continent's Strength that belonged to them!
At that point, a cold glint flashed in his dark eyes. Conjuring seals, the space behind him fluctuated as two shadows flashed out. It was two Mu Chens, one dressed in black robes and the other in white robes. As soon as the two Mu Chens appeared, they sat down and magnificent spiritual energy burst out. They joined the line of defense, blocking Lin Dong Elder's encroachment.
With the addition of the two Mu Chens, the rate of encroachment immediately weakened. Sometimes a small area was pulled back and forth, and it took a long time before an outcome was determined.
”This brat is tricky indeed!” Lin Dong Elder frowned at this situation, as he did not think that a mere Lower Earthly Sovereign would be so difficult to deal with. If both parties were clashing head-on right now, Lin Dong Elder would naturally not be afraid of Mu Chen. Even if the latter had two divine incarnations of two divinities, he still had absolute confidence he could overcome them.
However, they were fighting for the share of Baptism Strength now. If he wanted to crush Mu Chen with a Complete Earthly Sovereign's combat power, it would obviously be against the rules. Therefore, in the face of Mu Chen and Luo Li's strong resistance, Lin Dong Elder was also temporarily unable to obtain an absolute advantage.
”Hmph, I still have the upper hand. It's just that the rate of invasion has slowed down, but I can still get 70% of my share after an incense stick of time has passed. That's enough.” He sneered. Although Mu Chen was putting up a strong resistance so that he could not get 80% of the share, 70% was enough to satisfy him. At this thought, Lin Dong Elder suppressed his worry and summoned his spiritual energy to continue his encroachment.
Luo Li saw that Mu Chen had stabilized the situation and was slightly relieved. However, her expression was still solemn, for she could feel their share being nibbled away, even if they tried their best to resist. The only saving grace was that the speed was much slower than before.
”If this goes on, I'm afraid that after an incense stick's time, we can only hold on to 30% of our share, which is too little for two people.” Luo Li gnawed on her rosy lips. She was determined to give up her share and leave the rest of the Baptism of the Continent's Strength to Mu Chen. Otherwise, with less than 30% of the Baptism Strength, one could not successfully complete the baptism.
Mu Chen was unaware of Luo Li's intentions, and his countenance seemed extremely calm, without any anger at the gradual encroachment of the spiritual line of defense. It seemed as if he had given up the fight. Upon seeing this, Lin Dong Elder sneered in disdain.
