Outside the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, countless gazes looked at the battle in the mirror with dense shock in their eyes. No one expected that this battle would end so quickly.
Qin Donghai wasn't a weakling, and they could tell from how he dealt with his opponents. Even amongst the Middle Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns, his strength could be considered amongst the top.
But even so, when he encountered Mu Chen, he was still completely suppressed.
Thus, they could tell how ferocious Mu Chen was.
"He's truly worthy of being someone that could fight five people by himself. His fighting strength is simply inhuman!"
"Looks like we can only send out a Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign to suppress Mu Chen."
"That's hard to say. That Mu Chen has an endless amount of cards up his sleeves. No one knows if he's still hiding anything." Many whispers rang out. However, the gazes that were directed at Mu Chen in the Spiritual Energy light mirror were a little more grave.
"How is it?" Qing Yanjing chuckled as she looked at Futu Xuan.
Futu Xuan snorted, "What's there to be proud of defeating Qin Donghai? My real opponents are the four fellows before me."
Nodding her head, Qing Yanjing did not deny it and replied, "Those four have been famous for a long time, and they can be ranked amongst the top in the Great Thousand World. They're truly formidable opponents for Chen 'er."
But shortly after, her tone changed, "But Chen 'er must be confident to come to the Primordial Immortal Pagoda."
Seeing Qing Yanjing's confidence in Mu Chen, Futu Xuan helplessly shook his head. He wasn't as optimistic as her in his heart. After all, even if Mu Chen wasn't weak, how could those four be simple?
Today's battle was still confusing.
While everyone was discussing outside the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, Mu Chen left after defeating Qin Donghai and continued to search for other opponents.
In the following period of time, he easily defeated several opponents and obtained three Immortal Origins, allowing his Immortal Golden Body to grow stronger.
At this moment, space changed once more. Evidently, another half of the people in the Primordial Immortal Pagoda had been eliminated and the remaining people were automatically sent to the next level.
Mu Chen was not surprised by this at all. He continued to sweep out and wreak havoc on his opponent.
In the next two incense sticks' time, the space changed twice. The opponents Mu Chen encountered grew fewer and fewer, but the people he encountered grew stronger and stronger. There were even quite a few of them who were slightly stronger than Qin Donghai.
This meant that the Victory Ranking was obviously not absolute.
Boom!
Space trembled as violent Spiritual Energy ripples wreaked havoc in the heavens and earth, riddling the earth with holes.
A dazzling Immortal Golden Body gradually shattered before it exploded and a silhouette was forced out of the Primordial Immortal Pagoda. At the same time, a thick Immortal Origin shot out and was devoured by the purplish-golden silhouette behind Mu Chen.
Along with the devouring of the Immortal Origin, the purplish-golden silhouette behind Mu Chen was refined to the point that it looked like a genuine purplish-golden silhouette with mottled and ancient marks on the surface of its body.
Those marks were formed when the heavens and earth were formed, mysterious and powerful.
"In terms of cultivation, my Immortal Golden Body isn't any weaker than the Heavenly Emperor back then." Mu Chen's heart trembled as he sensed the terrifying power of the purplish-golden silhouette behind him.
After all, the Heavenly Emperor shouldn't have come to the Primordial Immortal Pagoda back then, since the Immortal Emperor hadn't died yet.
Buzz!
Buzz! While Mu Chen was pondering, space distorted once more, causing him to squint his eyes with his body tensed up.
That's because there were only eight people left in the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, which meant that there's a high chance that he would encounter the four people ranked above him.
"I'm finally at the final stage."
Space continued to distort, before swiftly changing. Mu Chen swept his gaze around and saw that he was currently in a vast ocean. The ocean couldn't be seen, the sky and water were the same colour.
Huff!
Mu Chen looked at the ocean world as he deeply breathed out a mouthful of air. At this level, the opponents that he would encounter would definitely be extremely powerful. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to pass through the layers of elimination.
"I wonder who I will encounter this time?"
Mu Chen's gaze flickered as he muttered to himself. If he encountered Maha You here, then it would mean that the final battle would be brought forward.
Stepping on the ocean, Mu Chen moved forth. Every single step of his would bring his silhouette a myriad feet away.
He walked on the surface of the sea, and after walking for about ten minutes, he stopped. His pitch-black eyes looked into the distance, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes.
At the end of the horizon, waves suddenly surged. A giant wave rolled over, and a figure was seated on the giant wave.
That silhouette was donned in a golden kasaya with a shiny bald head. Although he looked weak, he looked like a massive beast that emanated a terrifying might with every single move he made.
"The Vajra Monarch, Shi Luo."
Looking at that bald-headed silhouette, Mu Chen's expression gradually turned grave.
"Mu Chen and Shi Luo are going to encounter each other!"
An uproar broke out outside the Primordial Immortal Pagoda. There were only four Spiritual Energy mirrors in the sky, with eight people in each mirror. When everyone saw Mu Chen and Shi Luo appearing on one of the mirrors, they couldn't help exclaiming.
Everyone's faces turned grave. Shi Luo was ranked third on the Victory Ranking, and he was also a Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm. His fighting strength was also terrifying, and none of the opponents that he encountered could force him to bring out his Immortal Golden Body. He had relied on his physique to defeat his opponents.
But at the same time, Mu Chen was also invincible along the way. Compared to the other three battlefields, the confrontation between the two of them was undoubtedly more interesting to watch.
"Shi Luo?" Qing Yanjing's face turned grave at this scene. She had also heard of Shi Luo, and he's pretty powerful.
Futu Xuan had also locked his brows together. Although he had some grudges with Mu Chen, he still hoped that the latter could win. But it would definitely be troublesome for the latter to encounter Shi Luo here.
It was so much so that he might even have to stop here.
"What a fierce battle! I hope that brat can endure it!"
Rustle!
As the wave rolled, it stopped a thousand feet away from Mu Chen. Shi Luo slowly opened his eyes and looked at Mu Chen with a smile. "I never expected that I would encounter the Mu Abode's Ruler."
Gently nodding his head, Mu Chen responded, "It's truly unfortunate for me to encounter the Vajra Monarch here."
Facing this person, even Mu Chen felt a trace of danger, so he had to be cautious.
Shi Luo smiled. "The Mu Abode's Ruler's achievements are shocking, and you can be considered a formidable opponent. But since we will be able to see the Primordial Immortal Body in the next level, I will not give in, no matter what."
"Likewise." Mu Chen smiled.
Shi Luo slowly stood up. His frail figure caused space to tremble as he joined his hands together. "Since that's the case, then I can only seek guidance from the Mu Abode's Ruler."
The crystallised pagoda appeared in Mu Chen's eyes and the Spiritual Energy in his body had all been converted into crystallised Spiritual Energy, which flowed throughout his limbs and bones, causing his skin to turn translucent and translucent.
"Please enlighten me."
Mu Chen's expression turned solemn. Since Shi Luo was a formidable opponent, he had to give the latter sufficient respect.
Shi Luo's body gradually emanated a golden lustre with golden runes appearing on his frail body. As his muscles trembled, even the ocean beneath his feet was constantly lifting waves.
An indescribable pressure enveloped out.
Mu Chen's eyes flickered with sharpness. In the next moment, he made the first move. His mouth bulged and a violet sea of flames swept out towards Shi Luo.
In the path of the flames, the ocean below boiled.
However, Shi Luo didn't try to dodge the sea of flames, and he allowed the flames to envelop him.
Mu Chen squinted his eyes at this scene. The Spirit-Devouring Violet Flames were extremely overbearing, and even an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign wouldn't dare to get close to them. Shi Luo was truly courageous.
Boom!
Just when Mu Chen's thoughts flickered in his heart, the flames suddenly exploded and a silhouette flew out. Shi Luo wasn't emitting any Spiritual Energy fluctuations and had relied on his body to resist the violet flames.
The Spirit-Devouring Violet Flames burned Spiritual Energy to strengthen itself, and since Shi Luo had sealed all his pores, the flames couldn't burn him.
Rustle!
Charging out of the sea of flames, Shi Luo's body blossomed with a golden lustre and his silhouette flickered, then he mysteriously appeared before Mu Chen and threw his fist towards Mu Chen.
Mu Chen's gaze flickered and crystallised Spiritual Energy gathered over, forming into a crystallised glove on his fist. Thereafter, he gathered all the Spiritual Energy in his body and threw a punch forth.
He wanted to test the power of a Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.
Boom!
The two fists clashed and the ocean beneath their feet instantly caved in. A ring-shaped shock wave wreaked havoc, lifting a few myriad feet of waves that rumbled towards the distance.
Boom!
As the waves rolled, the two of them trembled. But this time, Mu Chen was in a disadvantageous position. His silhouette was blown a thousand feet away, leaving deep marks on the ocean beneath his feet.
"A Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign is truly formidable."
Mu Chen stomped his feet as he stabilized his figure. Cracks appeared on the crystalline glove on his fist before it rapidly fell off, turning into sparkles of light as it dissipated. His face was covered in a grave expression.
After being converted into crystallised Spiritual Energy, even if Mu Chen was only a Middle Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign, his Spiritual Energy was still comparable to an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign. But he was still blown back by Shi Luo's punch.
If it wasn't for Shi Luo fearing the crystallised Spiritual Energy seal and not daring to launch an all-out attack, that fist alone would have left some injuries on Mu Chen.
"Looks like I can't hold back."
Taking a deep breath, Mu Chen joined his hands together and two silhouettes, one black and one white, flew out from his body and turned into the black and white Mu Chen.
Looking at the black and white silhouette beside Mu Chen, Shi Luo's gaze turned grave. The Three Pures, he naturally knew how powerful the thirty-six Peerless Divine Abilities were.
Facing such an opponent, even if Mu Chen was only a Middle Phase Spirit Heavenly Sovereign, Shi Luo did not dare to be careless. He joined his hands together and a torrential golden lustre swept out. His frail body had also started to swell up.
In just a few breaths' time, he had turned into a golden giant that stood on the ocean.
At this moment, a terrifying power burst out from Shi Luo's body like a storm.
Outside the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, everyone was inwardly shocked at this scene. The two of them were finally going to bring out their true abilities.
However, no one knew who would have the last laugh in this battle between a dragon and a tiger.
