Chapter 662: Subjugating the North Territory (+IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!)

With the task set by the Heavenly Emperor, Mandala's initial plan was to subjugate the opposition one by one. However, in light of her significant breakthrough in strength, she decided to settle the matter once and for all.

The next morning.

The headquarters of the Great Havenlaw Domain became bustling with activity.

Light streams frequently streaked across the sky, ultimately descending into the Greatlaw Sky.

Within the Greatlaw Sky, voices could be heard coming from a guest hall.

"Elder Reverend Snake, I didn't expect the Domain Ruler of the Great Havenlaw Domain to summon you this time as well. I wonder what business has prompted her to call us all here with such grandeur," an old man with eyes as deep as the starry sky said with a slight smile from his seat.

Across from him sat an old man in a green robe holding a snake staff. His eyes were slightly narrowed as he chuckled.

"Palace Master Liu, if you want to know something, there's no need to beat around the bush. Just ask directly. Even if this seat doesn't know, there are surely a few others in this hall who might have some information."

Liu Tiandao did not get angry after being exposed by Elder Reverend Snake. Instead, he turned his gaze towards the others present in the hall.

On his right was a middle-aged man dressed in black, with black mist swirling in both of his eyes. There was a black line in the middle of his eyebrows as if there was an eye hidden within, which made him look extremely evil.

'Palace Master of the Netherworld Palace.'

Liu Tiandao acknowledged with a nod and glanced at him briefly, but when he saw that the other party remained silent, he shifted his gaze to an old man in a starry white robe and a white jade cane to his left. This was the Myriad Saint Ancestor of the Myriad Saint Peak.

"The old me doesn't know much either. Maybe you should ask the Demon Emperor or the Divine Pavilion Master," the Myriad Saint Ancestor said with a slight shake of his head.

Two other people sat in front of the Myriad Saint Ancestor and the Netherworld Palace Master.

The first was a man with a demonic appearance, purple eyes, and clad in black armor. His imposing figure was shrouded in black mist and demonic energy. He was the Demon Emperor of the Demon Gate.

The last person appeared quite ordinary, except for his eyes, which were a striking fiery red, as if flames were burning in them. He was the Divine Pavilion Master of the Divine Pavilion.

These figures were the most prominent individuals in the Northern Territory. Normally, they were rarely seen by ordinary people. Yet now, all six Earth Sovereigns had gathered in one place.

The peak elite experts of the North Territory were all present at this moment.

"Alright, everyone, there's no need to hide anything. If the Domain Ruler of the Great Havenlaw Domain hadn't mentioned finding a secret realm that requires several Earth Sovereigns to open, and which contains opportunities to break through to the Greater Earth Sovereign Stage, would you all have come here?" The Divine Pavilion Master suddenly opened his fiery red eyes and spoke in a calm tone.

He lowered his gaze slightly as he spoke, a hint of confusion flashing through his fiery red eyes.

"However, logically speaking, this seat should be the closest to reaching the Greater Earth Sovereign Stage among us. Even though she needs people to cooperate with, it is strange that she has chosen to seek me out actively."

Everyone present shared the same thought. The Divine Pavilion Master was the strongest among them, with the highest chance of seizing any opportunity. Why would the Great Havenlaw Domain Ruler invite someone like him?

Could this be a trap?

While everyone was pondering, the space around the main seat in the hall suddenly rippled. The space then tore open, and a petite figure stepped out.

Everyone looked over and couldn't help but feel a bit astonished. Who was this little girl standing in front of them?

Mandala glanced at the gathered individuals and, seeing that everyone had arrived, nodded in satisfaction. "Very good, you're all on time."

"You are the Domain Ruler of Great Havenlaw?" Liu Tiandao couldn't help but ask in confusion after hearing Mandala speak.

"Have you forgotten who sent you the message?" Mandala gave him a sidelong glance before taking her seat at the head of the hall, neither confirming nor denying her identity.

The long-mysterious Domain Ruler of the Great Havenlaw Domain was actually a little girl?

Not only that, but she had suddenly revealed her true appearance after hiding it for so many years?

The experienced individuals present immediately sensed that something was unusual. The Divine Pavilion Master, in particular, noticed with his keen intuition that he couldn't quite see through the current Mandala!

A feeling of uneasiness began to settle in his heart. He wanted to question her, but someone else spoke up first.

"Great Havenlaw Domain Ruler, is the information about that secret realm true?" Compared to Mandala's appearance, these people were more concerned about the secret realm that could allow them to break through to the Greater Earth Sovereign Stage.

"Of course..."

Liu Tiandao and the others felt a surge of joy upon hearing these two words. As long as the information was true, they didn't care if Mandala was really a little girl or not. Disguising one's appearance was a common practice.

Mandala noticed their joyful expressions and let a slight smile curl at the corners of her mouth.

"Of course... it's fake."

"...?!!"

The abrupt turn froze the smiles on the faces of Liu Tiandao and the others. It took them several heavy breaths before they were able to regain their senses.

The face of the Divine Pavilion Master darkened. His fiery red eyes seemed to contain a world of molten lava, hiding an immense power capable of incinerating everything.

"Mandala, you'd better give us an explanation. Otherwise, we won't hesitate to reduce this Greatlaw Sky of yours to ruins today!"

"That's right, Mandala. If you don't give us a satisfactory explanation today, it won't end well for you!" The others also spoke angrily.

Six magnificent rays of light that exuded a terrifying spiritual pressure enveloped the hall. The oppressive force was so immense that even the space itself seemed to be emitting strained, distorted sounds.

Mandala's purple eyes flashed with a cold gleam as she extended her slender finger and pressed it down sharply in the air.

In that instant, a massive surge of Spiritual Energy erupted and transformed into a colossal finger of light that stretched for thousands of meters. Layers of crystalline Spiritual Energy covered this finger of light, making it seem indestructible.

The moment the finger of light was formed, it shot straight towards everyone present.

"How daring!"

Liu Tiandao and the others laughed in anger at Mandala's sudden attack. Although they felt that something was amiss, there was no time for them to ponder it now.

The various Earth Sovereigns immediately launched their counterattacks without hesitation, each unleashing their powerful Spiritual Arts. Mandala was enveloped instantly in an overwhelming offensive that had the power to destroy everything.

Boom!

The space around them began to collapse under the intense collision. If one were to look down from the sky above, one would see that this area had collapsed into an enormous black hole.

"What is happening!"

"Pavilion Master!"

"Palace Master!"

"..."

Liu Tiandao and the others naturally hadn't come to the Great Havenlaw Domain alone. Their subordinates, unable to attend the meeting, had been arranged to rest elsewhere. Hearing the commotion, they hurried to the scene, only to be left in shock and dismay by the sight before them.

They saw the Divine Pavilion Master, Liu Tiandao, and the others in a sorry state. Their clothes were torn and tattered. Some were even stained with blood, clearly showing that they had suffered significant injuries.

On the other hand, Mandala stood calmly in front of everyone, her hands clasped behind her back.

"Today, you have two choices: submit or die!"

"Make your choice!"

********IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT********

After more than a year and a half, with 662 chapters and over 1 million words, we have finally caught up with the RAWs of BTTH: LSS.

Unfortunately, the story has been on hiatus for more than four months now. The original author stated that he was drafted into the army and won't be able to continue the story until he completes his military service.
