I, Mandala, Have a Junior Brother Who Is a Heavenly Sovereign Too!

"Hehe, he's right. With me here, he really can't kill Mu Chen..."

Yet just as countless people were utterly bewildered, a clear, slightly youthful laugh suddenly rang out across the world. Then the countless experts saw space ripple beside Mu Chen, and a petite figure appeared before their eyes.

When that petite figure appeared, the world, which had felt like the depths of winter, rapidly warmed once more...

The pupils of Luo Tianshen, Xue Lingzi, and the others abruptly contracted. They stared at the petite figure in utter horror, unable to stop their terrified cries from escaping their mouths.

"A complete Earthly Sovereign?"

The terrified cries of Luo Tianshen and Xue Lingzi echoed across the world, immediately drawing countless sharp intakes of breath. Then one horrified gaze after another turned toward Mu Chen's side.

Elder Winter looked at Mandala and said hoarsely, "You must be from outside the Western Heaven Continent, correct? Interfering so openly in our continent's internal disputes hardly seems to accord with the rules laid down by our Western Heaven Battle Hall."

Elder Winter placed a little extra emphasis on the words "Western Heaven Battle Hall." He knew Mandala should understand his meaning. The ruler of the Western Heaven Continent was the Western Heaven Battle Hall. Before such a supreme power of the Great Thousand World, even a complete Earthly Sovereign like Mandala would not dare act recklessly.

But the name of the Western Heaven Battle Hall alone could not frighten Mandala.

Your Western Heaven War Emperor is indeed someone of consequence, but I, Mandala, have a junior brother who is a Heavenly Sovereign too!

Mandala refused to give an inch. "We're helping the Luo God Clan today, and that's final. If you want to help the Blood God Clan, then I'll take you on."

Hearing this, Elder Winter smiled and said unhurriedly, "The payment the Blood God Clan offered me isn't enough to make me fight a complete Earthly Sovereign."

At those words, Xue Lingzi's face instantly turned deathly pale.

Luo Tianshen and the others breathed sighs of relief, as though a great weight had been lifted from their shoulders. Although Mu Chen's side also had a complete Earthly Sovereign, they still did not want the two sides to fight. After all, Elder Winter was an elder of the Western Heaven Battle Hall.

"Hehe, however, as for my visit to the Luo God Clan, accepting Clan Leader Xue Lingzi's invitation was merely a job I picked up along the way." A peculiar smile surfaced on Elder Winter's aged face.

Mu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. Staring at Elder Winter, he slowly asked, "Then may I ask what other business you have here, Senior?"

This time, however, Elder Winter did not answer. He merely looked with a smile at Luo Li, who was undergoing her spirit tribulation, and said, "This matter concerns her as well, so we must wait for her answer."

At the sight of that expression, Mu Chen's gaze darkened, and a vague unease stirred within him. He was just about to speak when Mandala stopped him with a gentle shake of her head. She then gave him a reassuring look and pointed toward the sky.

Meanwhile, the luminous figure behind Luo Li gradually dissipated. She raised her head and smiled radiantly in Mu Chen's direction, her beauty in that instant enough to rob all things of their splendor.

Jealous gazes turned toward Mu Chen. Had he not displayed his formidable strength earlier, someone would probably have been unable to resist challenging him outright.

Sensing those hostile gazes, the corner of Mu Chen's mouth twitched. At that moment, he finally believed that there truly were women in this world whose beauty could bring ruin like a flood.

As Mu Chen and Luo Li's eyes met, Elder Winter smiled faintly as well. "Truly worthy of being Luo Shen's successor. From this day onward, perhaps the title of the greatest beauty in the Great Thousand World has found its owner."

Luo Li turned her beautiful eyes toward Elder Winter and dipped in a slight bow. Her bearing was graceful and composed, showing no loss of composure whatsoever on account of his status. She simply asked calmly, "May I ask what business brings you to our Luo God Clan, Senior?"

Elder Winter smiled, then drew something from his sleeve. It was a golden scroll, but an aura that seemed to stand above heaven and earth emanated from it, plunging the entire world into silence in an instant.

Elder Winter slowly unfurled the scroll, his hoarse voice ringing out across the world.

"By decree of the War Emperor, the empress of the Luo God Clan is appointed the new Saintess of our Western Heaven Battle Hall."

"Hehe, congratulations, Saintess. From now on, you are the Saintess of the Western Heaven Battle Hall." In the sky, Elder Winter smiled faintly, then raised the golden scroll in his hand toward Luo Li. "Please accept the War Emperor's decree."

His gesture, however, received no response. Luo Li lifted her lovely face, her glass-clear eyes quietly regarding Elder Winter. After a long moment, she said, enunciating every word, "I refuse."

Hearing this, Elder Winter froze briefly before his brows slowly knitted together. His voice deepened. "This is the War Emperor's decree. Are you certain you can bear the consequences of refusing?"

At that moment, Luo Li took Mu Chen's hand. Her meaning needed no words.

Anger spread across Elder Winter's face. He circulated his spiritual energy and was about to strike when Mandala's petite figure blocked his path.

"So you truly intend to oppose our Western Heaven Battle Hall?"

"And what if I do?" Utterly unafraid, Mandala raised her head with a cold sneer.

"Insolence!" Elder Winter finally erupted in fury, shouting fiercely. The next instant, he swept his sleeve, and a crystal-like star shot out. All the warmth between heaven and earth seemed to be drawn into that star, and the air rapidly froze.

Buzz!

The Ice Crystal Star turned into a frigid current and shot forth, swelling against the wind. In the blink of an eye, it had truly become an immense glacial star whose edges could not be seen. It fell from the sky, crashing down viciously toward Mandala.

Such power could truly destroy heaven and earth.

"Hmph!"

Yet Mandala merely snorted coldly at the sight. Then she opened her small mouth, and a streak of light shot out. Hundreds of millions of rays burst forth, transforming into a Pyramid.

Whoosh!

Countless motes of starlight shook loose from the tower. They roared forth like a river of stars, blanketing the sky as they bombarded the Ice Crystal Star and forcibly blasted it apart. It became a sky full of ice crystals that drifted downward.

As the Ice Crystal Star shattered, Elder Winter let out a muffled grunt and retreated several steps, his expression exceptionally ugly. Clearly, he had suffered quite a loss in that exchange.

"Fine, fine!"

Elder Winter's eyes widened with fury. Then he took a deep breath and reverently held the golden scroll in both hands. Biting the tip of his tongue, he spat a mouthful of blood essence onto the scroll.

As the blood essence landed, the golden scroll suddenly erupted with golden light that blotted out the sky. An utterly terrifying aura radiated from that light, towering above heaven and earth like a sovereign ruler.

Beneath that terrifying aura, almost everyone below the Earthly Sovereign level fell to their knees on the spot. They could not even raise their heads, and their entire bodies trembled.

For they all knew very well what that aura represented... In all the Western Heaven Continent, only one person possessed such might.

He was the ruler of the Western Heaven Battle Hall, the legendary Western Heaven War Emperor!
