Two Sovereigns had died one after another. For a time, the entire Heavenly Chen Continent was enveloped in grief. Sovereigns were the pillars of support in the hearts of all the cultivators of the Heavenly Chen Continent. Now, after so long, two Sovereigns had finally fallen.
Aside from the four battlefronts, almost every household in every city hung white cloth and set up mourning halls to pay respects to the Savage Beast Sovereign and the Fist Sovereign.
In Western Pass City, the Sovereigns had personally set up mourning halls for the two Sovereigns. Because the battle hadn't ended, the Fist Sovereign's corpse hadn't been buried. As for the Savage Beast Sovereign, it was even worse. He didn't even have a corpse. The Sovereigns could only use his clothes as a cenotaph.
The Sovereigns stood in front of the two Sovereigns' memorial tablets with resolute expressions. The Heavenly Chen Continent was willing to pay any price to fight the demonic cultivators. Just as the Fist Sovereign had said before his death, even if they fought for hundreds or thousands of years, so what? The Heavenly Chen Continent could afford to fight, and they weren't afraid.
"Those two old fellows, wait for us down there. Don't worry about the Heavenly Chen Continent. Even if we die, we'll protect the Heavenly Chen Continent," the Sovereigns said in deep voices.
Four Dao Emperors had perished in a single battle, two Overlords from Heavenly Star Continent had perished, and two Devil Emperors from the devil cultivators' side had perished as well. Moreover, this was merely the beginning, and he believed that along with the passage of time, even more Dao Emperors would perish.
The battle was growing more and more intense. Even Dao Emperors had suffered casualties, let alone the people below them. Not to mention anything else, just over 10 Dao Exalts and Dao Kings had perished in practically every single battle.
The battle didn't change because of the four Dao Emperors' deaths. On the contrary, it became more and more intense.
While the battle was becoming more and more intense, the battle at the Southwind Region's battlefront was equally tragic within the Great Sky Lock Formation. Because of the Great Sky Lock Formation, the Southwind Region's battlefront was filled with young geniuses from both sides. Although there weren't many of them, the intensity of the battle wasn't inferior to that of the other three battlefronts.
One should know that the people gathered here were all the young sky-prides of the two continents. Normally, even the weakest top-tier sky-prides would be worshipped by countless people. However, in this place, one of these sky-prides would fall every day.
Just like the outside world, the battle within the Sky Lock Grand Formation was also getting more and more intense. Dozens of heaven's prides from both sides had already fallen. Originally, there were more than a hundred heaven's prides, but now, there were less than seventy left. This kind of casualty could be considered very high. After all, every heaven's pride was a treasure. But now, the lives of heaven's prides had become the most worthless thing in this place.
Geniuses fell one after another. The only thing worth celebrating was that the Proud King and the Demon Saint's personal disciples had yet to fall. However, as the battle became more and more intense, the condition of the Proud King and the Demon Saint's personal disciples deteriorated day by day.
Just like the great figures at the Dao Emperor Realm, the frequency and intensity of their battles increased with each passing day. In this way, new injuries were naturally added to their old injuries that hadn't healed. So, all the Kings of Geniuses and personal disciples of the Devil Saint were already on the verge of exhaustion, and perhaps it wouldn't be long before a King of Geniuses or personal disciple of the Devil Saint perished.
Moreover, along with the successive battles, practically all their life-saving treasures had been used up. At this point in the battle, no matter if it was Xiao Chen's group or Hao Tian's group, they didn't even have a tenth of their life-saving treasures left. There were very few talismans and pills left.
Another round of intense battle erupted within the Sky Lock Grand Formation. They had already lost count of how many times they had clashed. After so many battles, Hao Tian was extremely familiar with Xiao Chen's abilities, so the lethality of his Soul Slash had decreased greatly.
After an intense battle, both sides retreated successively after paying the price of the death of a few heaven's prides. Such an outcome could be said to be nothing out of the ordinary for them.
After returning to the main city, Xiao Chen asked the Divine Melody King, Gu Mu, "How many people did we lose in this battle?"
"Three peak prodigies and one supreme prodigy have died. It can be said to be a rather tragic battle," Gu Mu replied solemnly when he heard Xiao Chen's question.
Three peak prodigies and one supreme prodigy had died in this battle. Even though only four people had died, such a price was already very heavy.
"Collect their corpses. Let's go to the main hall," Xiao Chen got someone to collect the corpses of the four heaven's prides before leading everyone into the main hall.
Everyone sat together in a circle within the main hall. After experiencing the battle, the Proud Kings had matured a lot compared to before. It was as if they had grown up overnight.
This was very normal. Between life and death was definitely the fastest way to train a person. Ever since they had entered the Sky Lock Grand Formation, everyone had been fighting with the demonic cultivator heaven's prides almost every day. All sorts of methods had been used. It could be said that in just a little over a month, Xiao Chen and the others had spent their time in a pool of blood. Such an experience had indeed matured their temperament a lot.
At the same time, due to the intense battle, the strength of the Proud Kings could be said to have increased by leaps and bounds. Even though their cultivation had not broken through, all the Proud Kings had already comprehended the power of conception. This was especially so for Chen Ling and Long Qing. In the past month, the battle strength that they had displayed had already convinced everyone. Today, the two of them had their own titles.
Chen Ling was still titled Heavenly Blade, while Long Qing was called Violent Dragon by everyone. This was a title that was publicly acknowledged by all the Proud Kings. Of course, these were all empty titles. However, from a certain perspective, it could be seen as a reflection of Chen Ling and Long Qing's battle strength.
After talking so much about everyone, the one who had changed the most was still Xiao Chen. During this period of intense battle, Xiao Chen had truly grown into the core of everyone. Everyone had already acknowledged Xiao Chen's position as the leader of the Proud Kings.
Looking at everyone, Xiao Chen said with a somewhat pale face, "I wonder how the battle outside is going. I want to end the battle in the South Wind Region as soon as possible."
The continuous battle had caused Xiao Chen's body to become increasingly weak. Not only Xiao Chen, but the others were also the same. Even Lin Qing, who had the abnormal recovery ability of the True Dragon Bloodline, could no longer keep up with the speed of the battle.
It could be said that he had entered every battle with injuries. Now that they heard Xiao Chen say that he wanted to end the battle in the South Wind Region as soon as possible, everyone felt a little strange. Over the past few days, they could all tell that Xiao Chen really wanted to end the battle in the South Wind Region as soon as possible. However, no one knew why Xiao Chen was in such a hurry.
Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Xiao Chen said in a deep voice, "Everyone, if this drags on any longer, there may be casualties among us. I believe that no one wishes for the death of a Proud King to happen. Furthermore, believe it or not, the final victory of the South Wind Region battle line is directly related to the direction of the entire battle. In other words, if we can defeat the Demonic Cultivator Prodigies, the Tianchen Continent will definitely win."
