The struggle for power in the North Region Domain ended with the Mu Estate seizing nearly half of its territory. This unexpected result caused a big wave throughout the entire North Region.

From the beginning, no one was optimistic about the future of the Mu Estate. This was because everyone knew that the three old hegemonic forces would certainly join forces to try to smash it!

This was not the first time that this kind of thing had happened in the North Region. Thus, most people feared that the Mu Estate would pay a heavy price for its ambition, and just like in the past, they would be destroyed after suffering the wrath of the three hegemonic forces.

Therefore, when the results of the Overlord of North Region Contest were announced, countless people were stunned. They could not imagine what unfathomable power the young Mu Estate Master had, such that he was able to defeat three Sovereigns who were almost Heavenly Sovereigns!

While everyone was in shock, there were also some people who actually thought that the Mu Estate was just trying to kill itself off. After all, the three sects were all backed by supreme powers, which meant that they were just the puppets of these superpowers on the Tianluo Continent.

However, when these people later learned of the Great Thousand Palace, their doubts were destroyed. Other than fearful respect and awe, these previous doubters no longer had any ill-thoughts towards the Mu Estate.

They finally saw that, in the face of the Great Thousand Palace, even supreme powers could only retreat. It was at this time that they realized that the Mu Estate had evolved and had risen in power and might.

Now, not only did the Mu Estate have an unfathomable young master, but it also had the backing of a top supreme power! Whether one was comparing strengths or backgrounds, the Mu Estate was more powerful than the Purple Cloud Sect and the other old overlords by far!

Facing this kind of opponent, it was no wonder that even the Purple Cloud Sect, Thunder Mountain, and the Golden Eagle Mansion joined forces! But, ultimately, they still lost in the face of the Mu Estate.

At this moment, all of the forces of the North Region knew that from then on, the real power of the North Region was no longer the old hegemony of the three sects, but was now the Mu Estate, which had only been established for two years!

”Times have changed in the North Region,” someone from the crowd commented in awe.

Countless forces in the North Region sighed. They then began to do everything in their powers to try to establish a positive relationship with the Mu Estate. This was because everyone could see that the rise of the Mu Estate would be unstoppable.

…

As one of the five regions of the Tianluo Continent, this great change that had just occurred was naturally a major concern of the hegemonic forces in the other regions of the continent. The Tianluo Continent was a supercontinent that had a vast territory that was filled with an abundance of rich resources.

Naturally, it had attracted many supreme powers in the Great Thousand World, but because there were too many wolves that wanted a piece of the pie, no one dared to strike at it rashly.

This was why there was the unwritten rule that Heavenly Sovereigns would not carelessly meddle in the struggles of the Tianluo Continent, but would instead let nature take its course. Despite this, there were seven or eight out of the ten supreme powers that were backing the overlord forces of the Tianluo Continent regions.

When there was turmoil in the North Region, those hegemonic forces in other regions were naturally watching in secret. They actually wanted the North Region to descend into chaos, so that they could take advantage of the opportunity to annex it.

Thus, when they knew that the three Overlords of the North Region had been defeated by the Mu Estate, they desired to strike right then. But, their actions were quickly halted. This was because they had received word from the supreme powers to not touch the muddy water that was the North Region.

In their letter of correspondence, they had made it very clear that the young Mu Estate Master was indeed the second Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace. This message from the supreme powers was like cold water being poured on all of the heads of the overlords.

Needless to say, they were shocked. They had previously speculated on the origin of the Demon Slayer King Token, but they had never thought that Mu Chen would turn out to be the second Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace!

After all, it was rumored that every Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace had the power of a Divine Heavenly Sovereign. That existence was the pinnacle in the Great Thousand World!

But, this confused them, as they had to wonder...

At present, how can there be a Demon Slayer King who is a mere Complete Earthly Sovereign?

Regarding Mu Chen, they had heard that when the Ancient Celestial Palace appeared, it was he who had won the favor of the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor. Thus, he had picked up the most abundant fruit of the Ancient Celestial Palace amid countless people's envious eyes!

However, Mu Chen remained utterly unremarkable in the eyes of these hegemonic forces. If it was not for their fear of the Flame Emperor's and Martial Ancestor's majesty, they would have taken control of the Ancient Celestial Palace long ago.

After all, no one could have expected that, in just a little over a year, this unknown boy would become the Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace! Moreover, he had been promoted to Complete Earthly Sovereign!

No matter how incredulous they were, they could only accept this cruel reality, then resentfully give up their previous ambitions. Some of them even sent congratulatory letters to the Mu Estate to express their support and goodwill.

Soon, the whole Tianluo Continent was aware of the emergence of a new Overlord force known as the Mu Estate in that North Region. They also discovered that its young Estate Master was the Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace!
