On the black stone tablet, the sparks in the seventh lamp briefly flickered before they disappeared. Judging from this situation, he had clearly failed to light it up. However, Mo Feng's expression was calm, and he wasn't dejected because of this. He slowly retracted his hand and the golden phoenix feather on his arm had also gradually disappeared.

That palm from before might have seemed casual, but he knew that it was a palm that contained the pinnacle of his physical strength.

Behind him, Zong Teng's expression was a little unsightly as he watched this scene. Previously, when he fought with Mo Feng, neither of them could do a thing to the other. But he never expected that he would lose a little in terms of physical strength.

Although this didn't mean that Mo Feng was stronger than him, the arrogant Zong Teng still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Haha, brother Mo's palm is indeed powerful. However, from the looks of it, there was actually a phoenix cry when you attacked earlier. Looks like brother Mo should have quite a deep relationship with the Phoenix tribe, right?" Han Shan's eyes flickered slightly as he laughed.

Mo Feng did not comment and did not pay too much attention to it. He only stared at the black stone tablet before him with a burning gaze.

Buzz.

Under Mo Feng's gaze, there was a commotion from the black stone tablet. The surface of the tablet trembled and a surge of Chaos Aura gushed out. This time, the essence of the Sky-Devouring Divine Beast that was gushing out from the stone tablet was much denser than what Zong Teng had obtained.

Looking at the Primal Chaos Aura, Mo Feng sucked in and devoured it with a single gulp. Instantly, his eyes blazed with scarlet flames and the surface of his body.

There were even wisps of flames rising up, giving off a majestic feeling.

It slowly emanated from his body.

The movement in Mo Feng's body lasted for nearly several minutes.

After that, he opened his eyes as a faint pressure spread out from his body. Clearly, he had obtained a great improvement after absorbing the essence of the Sky Devouring Divine Beast.

When his body calmed down, Mo Feng retreated from the black stone tablet. As Mo Feng retreated, the ancient plaza before him was filled with people from all directions.

Only Han Shan and Mu Chen had yet to make a move.

Mu Chen directed his gaze towards Han Shan as the latter smiled with his eyes narrowed. "After watching two matches, my hands are itching. Why don't I go next?"

Mu Chen gently nodded, indicating that he had no objections.

Seeing this, Han Shan walked out. As he walked out, everyone's gaze, whether it was inside or outside the Body Refining Pagoda.

They all gathered together.

From a certain point of view, Han Shan should be considered as one of the top ten geniuses that entered the Body Refining Pagoda.

Even someone as prideful as Zong Teng had to admit that if it was just a competition of physical strength, Lin Yun wouldn't be able to defeat Zong Teng.

As a member of the Rhino Demon Clan, Han Shan would have an absolute advantage.

Of course.

Physical strength was only a part of true combat power.

Therefore, people with powerful physical strength might not necessarily be able to obtain the final victory in a real life and death battle.

With Zong Teng and the rest of the geniuses, they should have some means to make up for the difference in physical strength.

Han Shan's figure stood in front of the black stone tablet under the attention of the numerous gazes. He stood with his hands behind his back as he lifted his head and stared at the stone tablet. Even though he was merely standing there casually, there was a frightening pressure being emitted from him.

At this moment, he was like a primordial rhino demon that was about to charge into the heavens and earth, causing mountains and rivers to crumble in his path.

Han Shan gradually closed his eyes and his body gradually turned red. This was a sign of the blood and aura in his body violently surging. In the end, the blood and aura seemed to have seeped out of his body and gradually condensed into a blood-red rhino that was roughly a few dozen feet in size behind him.

The giant rhinoceros stood on the ground with a blood-red horn standing on its head. As the horn swayed, it could even tear space apart, displaying its terrifying sharpness.

The giant rhinoceros quietly stood behind Han Shan, its front hooves slowly rubbing against the ground. Although no sound was emitted, everyone could feel that the aura of the giant rhinoceros seemed to be crazily stacking at this moment.

The blood and aura around Han Shan had also gradually become denser.

His eyes abruptly opened at this moment and his pupils had turned crimson. In the next instant, he took a step forth with two of his fingers curled together and abruptly pointed towards the black stone tablet.

Behind him, the blood-red rhino had also charged forth and penetrated through Han Shan's body. Its head was slightly lowered and the horn had perfectly fused with Han Shan's two fingers.

That finger was like a demonic rhino that could destroy the world. The raised horn could pierce through any defences in the world.

Boom!

Han Shan's fingers penetrated through space at this moment. Finally, they heavily pressed against the stone tablet in front of countless gazes. The impact directly caused cracks to appear on his fingers as fresh blood immediately seeped out.

However, the surface of the stone tablet had also abruptly trembled at this moment and visible ripples swiftly spread out from the surface of the tablet.

That kind of movement was far more powerful than Mo Feng and the other two!

Mu Chen and the rest had their gazes tightly fixed on the top of the stone tablet. As the ripples spread out, dazzling flames swept out from the bronze lamp!

Sizzle!

In just a breath's time, the first five bronze lamps burned at almost the same time. Immediately after, the sixth bronze lamp paused for a moment, and then blood-red flames appeared. With a poof, it was completely ignited.

When the sixth bronze lamp was ignited, Mu Chen and the rest had fixed their gazes on the seventh lamp at the same time. That's because they could sense that the power in Han Shan's finger had yet to be exhausted.

Under their gazes, sparks of flame appeared in the seventh bronze lamp once again. These sparks appeared bit by bit, and in the end, they began to gather at a slow speed.

Although it was slow, it was much more resolute than Mo Feng's. Sizzle!

Sizzle!

More sparks appeared.

When they gathered to a certain degree, they had completely blossomed.

In the end, they had turned into raging flames that ignited the seventh bronze lamp.

Thoroughly igniting it.

The seventh bronze lamp had been successfully ignited!

Rustle!

Outside the Body Refining Pagoda, an uproar resounded as everyone had shock and admiration on their faces. Han Shan was truly worthy of being the most outstanding genius of the Demonic Rhino Clan. He had practically suppressed Zong Teng, Mo Feng and the rest with just this move.

"This Han Shan is truly formidable." Even Jiu You had nodded her head.

Although the stone tablet had only relied on the power of his physical body, she knew that Han Shan's fighting strength wasn't weak, even amongst the Seventh Grade Sovereigns.

"He actually ignited the seventh bronze lamp."

Mo Ling exclaimed in admiration. Even her elder brother could only ignite sparks in the seventh bronze lamp, but he couldn't ignite it. Clearly, in terms of physical strength, Han Shan was slightly stronger than Mo Feng.

Mo Feng was slightly stronger than Han Shan.

"Now, I wonder what Big Brother Mu Chen's result will be before he makes his move?" Mo Ling curiously said.

Jiu You shook her head, since she didn't know much about Mu Chen's physical strength.

The only thing she knew was that that fellow had never slacked on the cultivation of his physical body. From the Lightning God's Physique back then to the Dragon-Phoenix Physique.

Then there was the current Dragon-Phoenix Physique. All of these were extremely profound body-tempering techniques.

As for Mu Chen, he had extremely high attainments in them.

Although Mu Chen wasn't a Divine Beast, his physique was probably even more powerful and overbearing than most Divine Beasts.

So even if Mu Chen wasn't a Divine Beast, his physique was probably even more powerful and overbearing than the majority of Divine Beasts.

"With his strength, it shouldn't be hard for him to pass through the fourth level's test … But as for whether he can be comparable to Han Shan, we'll have to wait and see."

Nine Nether said in a solemn voice. Han Shan's results could be considered outstanding from what she knew, so she wasn't confident that Mu Chen could surpass him.

…

While the commotion outside the Body Refining Pagoda resounded, the blood-red rhinoceros behind Han Shan had also dissipated and he slowly retracted his fingers. The wounds on his fingers were gently shaken and swiftly recovered.

He looked at the seven bronze lamps and faintly smiled. Evidently, he wasn't too surprised by this.

Buzz!

Buzz! The black stone tablet started to tremble and faint crimson runes appeared on the surface of the stone tablet with strands of Primal Chaos Aura seeping out. But this time, the Primal Chaos Aura contained traces of crimson.

"That's …" Mu Chen stared at the Primal Chaos Aura that was different from before and his eyes flickered.

"That's the blood aura contained in the flesh of the Divine Beast. It's even purer than Primal Chaos Aura … but only those with outstanding performances can obtain it." Mo Feng calmly said.

Not far away, Zong Teng's eyes were blazing with greed as he looked at the Primal Chaos Aura.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head. It looked like this should be a reward that could only be obtained by lighting up seven bronze lamps.

In front of the stone tablet, Han Shan inhaled a deep breath of air and directly sucked away all the dark red Primal Chaos Qi. After which, his body suddenly turned blood red. Behind him, the giant blood red rhinoceros, which had originally disappeared, appeared once again. After which, it rapidly swelled by a size, while its ferocious and overbearing aura grew increasingly dense.

Hu.

The giant rhinoceros' transformation lasted for quite a while before it gradually faded away. Han Shan's body also returned to its original state. He lowered his head and glanced at his palm. With a faint smile, he turned around and left.

Obviously, he was quite satisfied with the benefits he had obtained this time.

Along with Han Shan's retreat, Zong Teng and Mo Feng's gazes were directed over and stopped on Mu Chen.

At the same time, countless curious gazes were directed at Mu Chen from outside the pagoda. Clearly, they wanted to know how this dark horse that rose in the Body Refining Pagoda would be able to achieve in this test.

Was the dark horse beaten back to its original form?

Or would he soar into the sky again?

Everyone was looking forward to it, and they were curious about it.

Under the attention of the crowd, Mu Chen slowly walked towards the black stone tablet.
