Chapter 1269: Fight for Your Share

When Luo Li’s indignant exclamation rang out, the air in the space seemed to solidify suddenly. A powerful pressure then emanated forth, shaking the space.

“How dare you?” the most loyal subordinate of the West Heaven War Emperor, Lin Dong Elder, snapped. He was glaring at Luo Li, who had dared to offend the War Emperor.

Mu Chen frowned. As he stepped forward to protect Luo Li, he held a rune stone in his fist. As long as the stone was crushed, he could call upon Martial Ancestor’s Spiritual Energy Clone.

Although this was the last card he had, Mu Chen was not going to be stingy with it. If the West Heaven War Emperor was really out to target them, he had no choice but to call upon Martial Ancestor.

The West Heaven War Emperor remained calm. He looked at Luo Li and asked, “How have I gone too far?”

Even in the face of the War Emperor, Luo Li did not show any fear. She frowned and her voice was cold. “War Emperor, there is no need for you to feign ignorance. The Baptism Strength of the Child of the Continent is extremely limited. According to the rules of the past, Lower and Upper Earthly Sovereigns should take three each, while the Complete Earthly Sovereign should take four. It is unreasonable that you did not mention the distribution at all, but instead asked us to collect it on our own.”

After hearing Luo Li’s words, Mu Chen finally understood that the Baptism Strength of the Child of the Continent would have been directly distributed in the past in order for it to be fair. After all, the Complete Earthly Sovereign’s power was far stronger than the other two’s.

If it were all in the same place, the vast majority would obviously be snatched away by the former. In that case, according to Mu Chen’s estimates, Lin Dong Elder might end up winning a full 60% or more of the Baptism Strength, while he and Luo Li could only share the remaining 40% or less.

The Strength of Continent dictated that the whole continent spiritual energy of heaven and earth would appear in small amounts after condensing for hundreds of years. Thus, even a small difference in that amount would make be significant. Apparently, although the War Emperor was forced to acknowledge both of them, as they had emerged as victors, he still placed obstacles in their paths.

After hearing what Luo Li had just said, the West Heaven War Emperor was still calm. He smiled and said, “The rules of distribution are different in many places, as they are dependent on the Ruler of the Continent. Thus, I have the right to decide on the distribution method. Even if you invite the Flame Emperor to come here again, I can still justify my methods.”

He then added, “Cultivation has always followed the law of the jungle, where the weak will be eliminated by the strong. If you can’t fight for enough Baptism Strength, that’s your problem. If you can’t solve it, even if you are the Child of the Continent, you will not be able to set foot in the Heavenly Sovereign Stage.”

Hearing the War Emperor’s speech, which was dignified in form but insincere in substance, Luo Li still wanted to argue with him, but was stopped by Mu Chen.

“War Emperor, although your actions are not gracious, there must be some sliver of truth to what you just said,” Mu Chen smiled and said.

Hearing Mu Chen’s mocking words, the War Emperor raised his brows, then glanced strangely at Mu Chen and asked, “So, you have no problem with the way I distribute?”

Mu Chen smiled and nodded, then said, “There is no absolute fairness in this world, and only the brave advance along the road of the strong. If they have no ability and thus lose an opportunity, that is their own problem.”

Luo Li glanced at Mu Chen, and even though she was a little puzzled as to why Mu Chen was agreeing to be treated with such injustice, she kept quiet and did not interrupt him. After all, she trusted his judgment, even if she didn’t always understand it.

Seeing Mu Chen’s agreement, the West Heaven War Emperor’s gaze flickered. In regards to Mu Chen, who was always unpredictable, even he would not underestimate him.

“Now that the War Emperor has decided on the method of distribution, I should ask again whether you intend to intervene directly if the final result is not what you had hoped for?” Mu Chen smiled.

The War Emperor frowned, displeasure coloring his face. “What do you think?”

He now had enough reason to change the rules of distribution, so no one could say anything, even if the news spread. However, once he interfered with the result, it would spur the disdain of millions of people. That would be no small blow to his reputation!

Realizing this, Mu Chen nodded with a smile and said, “If that is so, then I can rest assured. Can we start now?”

At the sight of Mu Chen showing no signs of concern, the West Heaven War Emperor’s frown deepened. He wondered whether Mu Chen was pretending to be calm, or if he really had some cards up his sleeve. In any case, it is impossible for a Lower Earthly Sovereign to win against a Complete Earthly Sovereign like Lin Dong Elder, right?

With this thought, the War Emperor’s face relaxed. He then glanced at Lin Dong Elder, who nodded indiscernibly.

Lin Dong Elder naturally understood the War Emperor’s meaning. He was apparently asking him not to show any mercy, but to seize as much Baptism Strength as he could. In this way, Mu Chen would be unable to benefit from it.

Lin Dong Elder did not find this task difficult, so he secretly rejoiced. After all, if it went according to past distribution methods, he would have received only 40%. Now, he had confidence that, with his ability, he could snatch over 10% from Mu Chen and Luo Li. If so, he would have 60% of the Baptism of the Continent’s strength, which would be an immense gain!

After hinting at Lin Dong Elder, the War Emperor waved his hand and said, “Since there is no problem, then prepare to begin. Remember that you have thirty minutes to divide the area. After which, the Baptism of the Continent’s strength will begin to divide and transform into Baptism Light. The Baptism will then begin, and you will no longer be able to compete against each other.”

Mu Chen’s gaze flickered. In other words, in the time that it takes for an incense stick to finish burning, they must determine how much Baptism Strength they have. Then, it would transform into Baptism Light and baptize them!

Whoosh!

Mu Chen and Luo Li looked at each other, then burst out at the same time, rushing towards to the strange, starry sky. Behind them, Lin Dong Elder’s gait seemed to slow, but he still shadowed them. In a few moments, the three appeared in the strange, starry sky.

In the starry sky, gargantuan whales soared and ancient trees swayed. However, they were all illusory, and when they came into contact with Mu Chen and the rest, they passed straight through them.

However, Mu Chen could sense an ancient and pristine spiritual energy coming from them. That spiritual energy was something that Mu Chen had never encountered before. It was an extremely ancient spiritual energy, as if it had existed for a long time.

Buzz!

As Mu Chen was intoxicated with the ancient and pristine essence of the spiritual energy, a fierce and unmatched wave of spiritual power suddenly burst out. Like beams of light, it spread rapidly in all directions, as if it were a barrier, barricading wherever it passed. The starry sky was brutally enshrouded by its spiritual power.

As Mu Chen raised his head, he saw Lin Dong Elder in the distance. He had begun to divide his territory with an unceremonious outburst of spiritual power!

Mu Chen and Luo Li glanced at each other and, without hesitation, released a burst of spiritual energy. They also began divvying up the ancient starry sky wherever their spiritual energy passed through it.

At first, they did not clash head-on with Lin Dong Elder, but temporarily backed away. They instead seized the region that Lin Dong Elder had not touched yet.

However, the starry sky was limited, after all, and in less than ten minutes, it was fully divided by the three people. At this time, Lin Dong Elder had dominated 50% of the Baptism Strength of the starry sky, while Mu Chen and Luo Li together could only win the other 50%.

“Hmph.” Lin Dong Elder snorted coldly, while his spiritual energy roared like tumultuous waves. It then eroded the region where Mu Chen and Luo Li were. Clearly, he was beginning to encroach upon Mu Chen’s and Luo Li’s share.

Facing Lin Dong Elder’s invasion, Mu Chen and Luo Li joined hands immediately. They then used their spiritual energies to form a heavy defense to try to stop Lin Dong Elder.

However, as the War Emperor expected, Mu Chen and Luo Li were, after all, only Lower Earthly Sovereigns, so in the face of a Complete Earthly Sovereign, they were no match for him, despite their joining forces. Therefore, the two’s heavy defense was continuously destroyed by Lin Dong Elder effortlessly.

In just a few minutes, their territory fell into Lin Dong Elder’s hands. Lin Dong Elder now occupied a full 60%!

Looking at this scene, greed flashed in Lin Dong Elder’s eyes. This was because he wanted even more! In that case, the success rate of ascending into the Heavenly-Sovereign stage in the future would also rise.

“Children, since you don’t have this fortune, let me do it for you!” Lin Dong Elder sneered. Without hesitation, a majestic spiritual roared out like tumultuous waves, heading towards the region that Mu Chen and Luo Li were defending.

Facing the aggressive Lin Dong Elder, Luo Li’s face was cold. At that moment, the Luo God Celestial Body emerged. Mu Chen’s gaze flickered, as the Immortal Golden Body emanated with purple gold light and appeared in the ancient starry sky.

Both of them glanced chillingly at Lin Dong Elder. Even if that old fogey was a Complete Earthly Sovereign, no way would they let him snatch what rightfully belonged to them! Seeing their gazes, Lin Dong Elder smirked disdainfully.

How dare two Lower Earthly Sovereigns block me? They have utterly overestimated themselves!

“I will let you know today that, no matter how talented you are, you are just ants in the face of my absolute strength!” As Lin Dong Elder sneered, his hands suddenly opened and his spiritual energy, like a storm, began to rage out in a frenzy!
