Two of the three great commanders of the Hundred Battles Domain had already fallen and both of them had died at Liu Bai's hands.
At this moment Liu Bai was still standing in the arena. His gaze was directed toward the Hundred Battles Domain and the meaning was obvious. He intended to continue challenging.
Everyone in the Hundred Battles Domain felt an indescribable fury rising within them.
This was clearly an attempt to slaughter their commander level powerhouses.
From Liu Bai's consecutive performances it was obvious that his combat strength far exceeded that of ordinary commander level experts. The reason he kept challenging was simply to humiliate them.
If Liu Bai knew what they were thinking he would definitely cry injustice for himself. He truly only wanted to grind some experience points.
Having gained another three hundred thousand experience points Liu Bai's total experience was now close to six million. He could directly raise his cultivation to Fourth-Grade Sovereign and at the same time elevate his array path realm to the level of Ture Heart Eye State.
More importantly after this campaign his Spiritual Pulse Awakening Points had surpassed six thousand. He finally had hope of advancing to a Heavenly Pulse.
As the enemies he faced grew stronger the number of cultivators with Spiritual Pulse also increased. After all the Sovereign realm was a massive threshold for cultivators. Crossing this chasm required extremely strict talent requirements.
And initial talent was directly linked to Spiritual Pulse.
No one spoke but a figure stepped out on their own.
"It is Qin Bei!"
A wave of disturbance rippled through the Hundred Battles Domain as many people could not help but cry out softly.
Everyone understood now that Liu Bai was here to kill. Whoever stepped out would die. Within the Hundred Battles Domain there was no commander level expert who could be his opponent.
Under normal circumstances they could easily suppress Liu Bai by overwhelming numbers or by having stronger experts intervene. After all he was only a Third-Grade Sovereign. But this was a wagered battle and the rules had already been agreed upon in advance. As long as Liu Bai acted within the rules no one could touch him no matter how many people he killed.
At this moment both Sword Concealing Elder and Corpse Mountain Elder finally understood why the Lord of the Great Heavenlaw Domain had suddenly proposed such conditions earlier. They were clearly prepared specifically for Liu Bai.
"This child truly deserves death."
Sword Concealing Elder gritted his teeth.
Among those present aside from Liu Bai this method would be useless on anyone else. No one could guarantee victory at the same level while remaining completely unscathed.
"So what. Do you dare make a move against him now?" Corpse Mountain Elder said coldly.
"Then what should we do. Just watch him act so recklessly? What if Qin Bei dies and he continues challenging? Are we supposed to fill lives with human lives?"
Corpse Mountain Elder's expression darkened as pitch black deathly aura coiled around his body.
"Then we fill them. Otherwise both our faces will be left here. The rules were set long ago. Challenges cannot exceed ten. At worst we give him ten lives. So what?"
Sword Concealing Elder's face looked unpleasant. Filling lives was not that simple. They truly had to send out real subordinates. If it was seen as deliberately sending people to their deaths they still would not be able to preserve their dignity.
Beside them Devil Compassion Sovereign had not spoken a word from beginning to end. Even though the one stepping out to die was from Great Compassion Sky he still clasped his hands together as if chanting something.
"Great Compassion Sky, Qin Bei seeks guidance."
Qin Bei walked up to Liu Bai with a calm expression and bowed slightly toward him.
Liu Bai looked at him with a trace of admiration in his eyes. He had not expected the other party to still have the courage to step out at such a time.
"Great Heavenlaw Domain, Nine Nether Palace Liu Bai."
After both sides introduced themselves Qin Bei suddenly brought his hands together. His seals changed at lightning speed leaving behind afterimages.
Boom.
Spiritual energy surged out of Qin Bei like a vast ocean. A towering giant shadow condensed behind him. The shadow was also about a thousand zhang tall standing in the heavens. The Celestial Body looked as if it were draped in a golden kasaya. A massive golden Buddhist staff lay across its arms as a mighty aura swept outward.
"That is the Arhat Celestial Body ranked ninety three on the Ninety Nine Sovereign Celestial Body List."
When Qin Bei's Sovereign Celestial Body appeared it immediately drew countless cries of shock from both camps. It was considered a top tier Celestial Body within Great Compassion Sky. Only the most outstanding disciples were qualified to cultivate it and many people from both domains recognized it.
Seeing this Liu Bai merely smiled slightly. He did not immediately summon his own Sovereign Celestial Body again. He even closed his eyes.
After all although the Arhat Celestial Body was strong it was still far inferior to his Five Spirit Deity Celestial Body. If he summoned it he would truly be bullying the opponent.
Seeing Liu Bai behave this way anger flashed in Qin Bei's eyes. He could face death but he could not tolerate being looked down upon.
Boom.
The enraged Qin Bei stomped heavily. His Sovereign Celestial Body burst forward as the golden Buddhist staff transformed into torrents of light sweeping directly toward Liu Bai.
Only then did Liu Bai suddenly open his eyes. The golden light in his pupils vanished completely turning pitch black without a trace of white. They looked like deep black holes that seemed to draw one in at a glance. It was extremely eerie.
'This is the demon heart state described in the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture?' Jiu You revealed a shocked expression.
Only she knew the reason for Liu Bai's transformation. He had obtained the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture only a few days ago and had already comprehended the heart demon state. Could it be that he realized it during the days she left the depths of Demonic Lightning Abyss?
If her guess was correct then Liu Bai's comprehension was simply too monstrous.
As for everyone else they were also shocked by Liu Bai's special state. Even well traveled elders like Sword Concealing Elder and Corpse Mountain Elder could not tell what kind of secret art Liu Bai was using.
Only beings like Mandala and Liu Tiandao who were Earth Sovereigns could vaguely guess a thing or two.
"Nether Demon Heart Lightning, Supreme Demon Heart Scripture. I should have realized it earlier."
Liu Tiandao stared intently at Liu Bai as a trace of greed flickered in his eyes.
However he soon sensed a sharp gaze directed at him from the other side.
Without looking he already knew who it belonged to.
"Lord of the Great Heavenlaw Domain it seems the youth under your command is extremely fortunate to have obtained the inheritance of the Demon Heart Lightning Emperor from back then."
"However such an inheritance should not be carried by a mere Third-Grade Sovereign. How about having him hand it over? I can compensate the Great Heavenlaw Domain with one million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid."
Mandala snorted coldly and said "Liu Tiandao are you dreaming? You want someone under my command to hand over a treasure to you? Do you think your face is that big?"
Liu Tiandao frowned but did not get angry. He explained instead "Lord of the Great Heavenlaw Domain do not misunderstand. Not to hand it to me but to hand it to you. I will then purchase a copy from you for five hundred thousand Sovereign Spiritual Liquid."
"Do not bring this up again. I am not so shameless as to rob my own subordinates. And if you Liu Tiandao dare lay a hand on anyone from my Great Heavenlaw Domain then I would not mind experiencing the methods of you the Hall Master of Sky Profound Palace."
Mandala's firm attitude made Liu Tiandao feel extremely displeased. However, judging from her stance, if he truly continued pressing the matter, she would very likely take action. This was also not something Liu Tiandao wished to see.
While the two great figures were secretly transmitting messages, Liu Bai below had already begun to make his move.
Having entered the Demon Heart state, Liu Bai was completely unaffected by external disturbances. His eyes, deep like black holes, quietly stared at the golden torrent charging toward him, and an indescribable calm appeared on his face.
That calm was such that even if the heavens collapsed and the earth shattered before him, it would likely fail to stir even the slightest emotion.
He raised his palm and struck downward. In an instant, three streaks of golden light flew out from his hand, soared into the sky, and transformed into three radiant golden formations. Judging from their spiritual energy fluctuations, all three were Human Grade Mid-Level Arrays.
Boom boom boom!
The torrent formed by the golden zen staff instantly shattered the first array, then broke through the second with unstoppable momentum. By the time it reached the third array, it had already been greatly weakened.
However, when the torrent finally destroyed all three arrays, before the people of the Hundred Battles Domain could rejoice, they saw that six more golden arrays had already appeared in layers before Liu Bai.
Moreover, these arrays were clearly stronger than the previous three, having already reached the Human Grade High-level.
At this moment, Liu Bai finally stopped due to excessive consumption of spiritual energy. He then waved his hand and released a stream of spiritual energy, which he directly swallowed into his abdomen.
This scene made many people around gasp in shock. He was merely a Third-Grade Sovereign, yet he had consecutively set up nine Human Grade arrays, and at such astonishing speed. Just how high was Liu Bai's level as a Spiritual Array Master?
"Could he be a Heavenly Grade Spiritual Array Grandmaster?" someone exclaimed in disbelief.
A Heavenly Grade Spiritual Array Grandmaster would possess a status comparable to the Three Giants of the Hundred Battles Domain or the Three Emperors of the Great Heavenlaw Domain. How could someone like that be willing to remain in the Nine Nether Palace as a mere commander?
At this moment, Jiu You was also filled with astonishment. She had not expected the Demon Heart state to be so terrifying. Although Liu Bai's current spiritual energy aura had not increased in the slightest, his control over his own spiritual energy and body had reached an extremely horrifying level.
During the array setup just now, not only was his speed astonishing and the arrays powerful, there was not even the slightest waste of excess spiritual energy. This was precisely why he was able to deploy so many arrays in one breath.
At this moment, Liu Bai was like a perfectly operating machine, with absolutely no energy loss whatsoever. How terrifying was such a state?
At this time, several commanders of the Great Heavenlaw Domain who held the same position as Liu Bai were all filled with emotion.
Xu Qing glanced at Zhou Yue beside him and could not help complaining, "This guy is already this strong, yet he is still competing with us small commanders. He could directly become the Tenth King."
Zhou Yue nodded repeatedly and said, "Exactly. With this guy around, I would not even dare say I am a commander of the Great Heavenlaw Domain. Otherwise, I would immediately be dragged out and compared to this freak."
"There is simply no basis for comparison at all."
After speaking, the two looked at each other and let out a long sigh filled with shared misery.
However, there was not the slightest trace of jealousy in their hearts. Liu Bai's performance at this moment had long since made it impossible for them to feel any envy. The gap between them was simply far too great.
Qin Bei stood atop the crown of the Arhat Celestial Body, his figure seemingly fused with it as one. However, as the battle continued, his heart grew increasingly alarmed, because these arrays were becoming stronger and stronger.
If previously he could break through three arrays with a full power strike, now he found it extremely difficult to even shatter a single formation.
Moreover, these arrays were not purely defensive. Once activated, each arrays unleashed its own attacks. Towering beams of light that pierced the heavens, gigantic swords reaching the skies, violent ferocious beasts, and star rivers filling the sky all surged toward him and the Arhat Celestial Body.
Countless rays of spiritual light flooded Qin Bei's vision, and his expression changed drastically. He then clenched his teeth fiercely, crushing and swallowing a pill hidden in his mouth.
Boom!
Vast spiritual energy suddenly erupted from Qin Bei's body. His hands formed seals at lightning speed as a deep shout resounded across the heaven and earth.
"Spirit Mountain Guard!"
Surging spiritual energy roared forth, directly forming a vast ethereal mountain outside the enormous Sovereign Celestial Body. At the mountain's peak stood towering golden halls, exuding an air of profound mystery.
Seeing this, Liu Bai smiled faintly. It truly carried some resemblance to the legendary Spirit Mountain from his previous life.
"It seems the Buddhist aura of Spirit Mountain has already spread to the Great Thousand World. The Devil Compassion Sovereign is rumored to originate from a lower plane beneath the Great Thousand World. That place is probably filled with such Buddhist practitioners…"
As these thoughts passed through his mind, Liu Bai showed no mercy as all the arrays activated at once. Countless spiritual lights slammed into the mountain, erupting in explosions. Within the beams, swords, beasts, and star rivers, each explosion shaved off a portion of the mountain.
When all the formations were completely exhausted, the mountain was finally blown apart and vanished.
All those from the Hundred Battles Domain let out long sighs of relief. Fortunately, Qin Bei had managed to block it this time. Otherwise, he would have followed in the footsteps of Lin Qingfeng and Mo Mo.
Qin Bei thought the same. However, due to the excessive eruption of spiritual energy and the exhaustion of the pill's effects, he now felt waves of emptiness throughout his body.
Just as he forced himself to prepare for a follow up assault, he suddenly realized that at some unknown point, a crimson array had appeared before Liu Bai.
Within this array, a mass of raging flames rolled endlessly. Though it appeared to be ordinary spiritual fire, its terrifying temperature made it impossible for anyone to approach. Even a Fourth-Grade Sovereign falling into it would likely be completely incinerated.
"Capital Fire Array!"
This Seventh-Rank Array, restored by Liu Bai from the formation flags, was only Earth Grade Low-level, equivalent to the realm of a Fourth-Grade Sovereign. However, as an extreme fire attack formation, it possessed terrifying destructive power.
