Boom!
A violent Spiritual Energy fluctuation exploded between the heavens and earth as the five silhouettes constantly intertwined. Every time they intertwined, it would cause the heavens and earth to tremble, as if the sky was about to be torn apart.
However, it wasn't accurate to say that they were entangled, because the four figures in front were fleeing in a sorry state, while the dark golden figure chased after them like a hot knife through butter. Any attack was easily torn apart by it.
Those four silhouettes were naturally Mu Chen, Maha You, Ye Qing, and Tuoba Cang.
At this moment, they had already been entangled with the dark-golden silhouette for an incense's time. In that incense's time, they had experienced what it meant to be like stray dogs. Facing the pursuit of the dark-golden silhouette, they couldn't do anything aside from fleeing. Earlier on, Maha You was enraged by the dark-golden silhouette's pursuit, and he even fought with all his might. But in the end, his arm was torn off by the dark-golden silhouette.
Thereafter, Mu Chen and the rest had completely given up on fighting and could only flee. But fortunately, the dark-golden silhouette would tear through space and seize the Immortal Origin from the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, which gave them a chance to catch a breather.
But they knew that this wasn't a long-term solution.
That's because as the dark-golden silhouette continued to seize the Immortal Origin from the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, the fluctuation emanating from its body grew more terrifying.
Evidently, the dark-golden silhouette was still growing stronger.
At this moment, Mu Chen's group of four wore bitter expressions. Although they could choose to leave the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, they knew that they would lose the opportunity to obtain the Primordial Immortal Body the moment they left. So they naturally didn't want to leave first.
Roar!
While thoughts were surging in their hearts, the dark-golden silhouette had once again passed through a large amount of Immortal Origin, causing its face to turn even darker. The pressure that emanated from its body had caused the surrounding space to shatter like glass.
It unleashed a deep roar with a hint of chaos in its eyes before its emotionless voice resounded, "Stay behind and fuse with the heavens and earth!"
Facing its voice that was filled with killing intent, Maha You's group of three ignored it and swiftly fled.
Mu Chen's heart skipped a beat. During this period of time, the dark golden figure would let out the same growl every time it finished plundering the Immortal Source.
That low roar seemed to be directed at them, but for some reason, Mu Chen keenly sensed that this did not seem to be the sound that the dark golden figure wanted to make, because Mu Chen could sense a hint of resistance from it.
"Merging with heaven and earth … Is heaven and earth referring to the Wangu Tower?" Mu Chen's eyes flashed as he muttered to himself.
Boom!
As soon as this thought appeared in Mu Chen's mind, the sound of air exploding suddenly resounded from behind him. He swept his gaze over and was shocked because even he could only see a dark golden light flashing across the horizon.
"It's getting faster!"
The phoenix wings behind Mu Chen flapped and a violent gale blew as his silhouette instantly disappeared. He had pushed his speed to the limits.
When Mu Chen disappeared, a dark-golden palm stabbed into the chest of the afterimage that he left behind and a terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuation shattered the afterimage.
Missing its attack, the dark-golden silhouette unleashed an enraged roar and disappeared once again. But this time, it did not pursue Mu Chen, but appeared behind Tuoba Cang, who was the slowest amongst the four.
"Immortal Lotus!"
Sensing the dark-golden silhouette chasing after him, Tuoba Cang's face drastically changed and countless Divine Immortal Runes whistled over, forming into a massive lotus that protected him.
Whoosh!
But this time, the Immortal Lotus did not obstruct the dark-golden silhouette's attack. The palm seemed to contain an indescribable power that easily tore the Immortal Lotus apart.
Boom!
The Immortal Lotus exploded. Just when Tuoba Cang was about to retreat, a dark-golden palm stretched out from the void and pressed on the top of his head.
Tuoba Cang's eyes flashed with shock as he barked without any hesitation, "I withdraw!"
Generally speaking, according to the rules of the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, as long as a participant withdraws, they would be kicked out. Tuoba Cang was initially a little unwilling, but at this moment, he couldn't afford to have any other emotions. After all, his life was more important.
After withdrawing, Tuoba Cang slightly relaxed his body, waiting for the spatial distortion to kick him out. But at this moment, he seemed to have seen a sinister smile rise on the corner of the dark-golden silhouette's lips. The spatial distortion that he was waiting for did not appear.
A chill abruptly rose from Tuoba Cang's feet to his head. In the next instant, he was about to violently unleash the Spiritual Energy in his body.
Crack!
But in that instant when he circulated the Spiritual Energy in his body, an indescribable violent Spiritual Energy charged into his body without any restraint. That power was so powerful that it practically caused his head to explode in an instant.
Boom!
Boom! Two muffled sounds resounded and Tuoba Cang's body exploded into a bloody mist. The Immortal Golden Body behind him had also issued a mournful cry before it exploded, turning into sparkles of purplish-golden light.
Taking a deep breath, the dark-golden silhouette devoured those sparkles of purplish-golden light.
It was so sudden that when Mu Chen, Maha You, and Ye Qing saw this scene, their faces had a smear of shock.
That's because they could clearly sense that Tuoba Cang had been killed!
"Why didn't he withdraw from the Primordial Immortal Pagoda?!"
Ye Qing's face was unsightly. He had heard Tuoba Cang calling for him to withdraw, but the Primordial Immortal Pagoda didn't seem to have kicked him out.
Maha You's face was also unsettled as he looked at the dark-golden silhouette with a trace of fear in his eyes.
"I'm afraid that there's a problem with the Primordial Immortal Pagoda."
Mu Chen said in a solemn voice. When the dark-golden silhouette came out, the situation seemed to have gone out of control. Perhaps it was because of its interference that the Primordial Immortal Pagoda couldn't kick anyone out.
When Maha You and Ye Qing heard his words, their eyes narrowed. If they really couldn't get out of the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, wouldn't that mean that they were trapped here?
Thinking of this, the two's expressions darkened even more.
At the same time, a commotion broke out outside the Primordial Immortal Pagoda. Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw Tuoba Cang being killed with a chill rising in their hearts.
That was a Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm expert, and he was actually killed right before their eyes?
Qing Yanjing's face also changed when she saw this scene. She could sense that Tuoba Cang's withdrawal had failed. Thus, she sharply looked at Maha You and asked, "There's a problem with the Primordial Immortal Pagoda?"
Nodding his head with an unsightly expression, Maha Tian replied, "Don't look for me. My Ancient Maha Clan can't control the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, so even if there's a problem, I can't resolve it."
Clenching her fists, Qing Yanjing's eyes flickered with a baleful aura. That dark-golden silhouette was powerful, and Mu Chen clearly wasn't its opponent. If this carried on, then he would definitely be doomed.
"Then destroy the Primordial Immortal Pagoda!" Qing Yanjing coldly said.
"No!"
Maha Tian immediately objected, "What if the Primordial Immortal Body is affected if the Primordial Immortal Pagoda is destroyed? Who will be responsible then?"
"If the Primordial Immortal Body can be destroyed so easily, then it wouldn't be a Primal Celestial Body!" Qing Yanjing sneered.
"That won't do!
My Ancient Maha Clan has protected it for tens of thousands of years, and we have to ensure that nothing happens to it! "Maha Tian refused to back down.
"Then I can only use force!"
"Hmph, this is my Ancient Maha Clan, not your Ancient Buddha Clan!"
"Let's give it a try, then!"
The two Saint Heavenly Sovereigns clashed with each other, vaguely emitting a terrifying aura that caused the entire region to darken. Countless experts were silent out of fear. If these two deities were to fight, everything within a million mile radius would be reduced to ruins.
After devouring Tuoba Cang's Immortal Golden Body, the golden radiance in the silhouette's eyes grew denser before it turned towards Mu Chen, Maha You, and Ye Qing with greed.
Boom!
With a jolt, it turned into a golden beam and pounced towards Maha You, who had the strongest aura. Evidently, it knew that the latter's Immortal Golden Body would give it more benefits.
When Maha You saw this, his face changed and he immediately retreated.
But at this moment, the speed of the dark-golden silhouette had increased. No matter how Maha You tried to escape, the distance between the two of them was shrinking.
A few breaths later, Maha You could already sense a gale coming from behind him.
Looking at the dark-golden silhouette approaching from the corner of his eyes, Maha You suddenly looked at Mu Chen with a cold light in his eyes. Shortly after, an octagonal compass appeared in his hand that was covered in profound runes.
"Eight Star Spiritual Compass - Position Switching Art!"
The compass emitted a mystical light that enveloped the dark-golden silhouette before it.
When Maha You took out the compass, Mu Chen had already raised his guard and felt uneasy. Thus, he immediately retreated.
Rustle!
But just when he was about to retreat, the dark-golden silhouette that was chasing after Maha You suddenly disappeared. Shortly after, Mu Chen narrowed his eyes when he saw a dark-golden silhouette charging out with a pair of emotionless eyes looking at him.
Looking at the dark-golden silhouette that was just inches away, Mu Chen's face had turned dark.
That bastard Maha You actually dared to scheme against him!
