The space before him shattered and the dark-golden silhouette charged out. When Mu Chen looked at the pair of dark-golden pupils without any emotions, his face turned grim.
Although he was prepared, Maha You's move had exceeded his expectations. That fellow actually managed to change the position of the dark-golden silhouette to his front!
This way, Maha You managed to break free from the dark-golden silhouette's lock, but he was also sent up.
With all sorts of emotions in his heart, the phoenix wings behind Mu Chen flapped and his silhouette turned into afterimages as he frantically retreated.
Whoosh!
The dark-golden silhouette had locked onto Mu Chen, who was the closest to him. It turned into a dark-golden streak of light as it shot forth. Afterimages were constantly being torn apart as it swiftly approached.
Mu Chen pushed his speed to the limits and changed his position several times. However, he still couldn't break free from the dark-golden silhouette, which caused his face to turn even darker.
Maha You coldly looked at Mu Chen, who was being chased by the dark-golden silhouette with a cold smile on the corner of his lips.
Rustle!
In the vast heavens and earth, Mu Chen had turned into a streak of light as he flew. Although the pressure coming from his rear was getting closer, his expression had turned even calmer at this moment.
His eyes flickered as he occasionally swept his gaze around with contemplation in the depths of his eyes.
According to the dark-golden silhouette's speed, it would only take ten-odd breaths for it to catch up to him. With the latter's terrifying strength, he wouldn't be able to resist it, no matter what means he used.
That's because his strongest defensive means was the Immortal Lotus. In terms of defense, it wasn't any stronger than Tuoba Cang's Immortal Lotus, but even the latter was killed by the Immortal Lotus. If he was in Tuoba Cang's shoes, he would also suffer the same outcome.
Facing this situation, he couldn't win, nor could he escape. Thus, he had already fallen into a dead end.
If it was someone else, they would have panicked by now. However, Mu Chen's experience over the years had tempered his mind. He knew that the more panicked he was at this moment, the harder it would be for him to find a way out.
"What should I do?"
Mu Chen's blood was swiftly circulating at this moment. A brief moment later, he looked at this region with a flash of madness in his eyes.
Roar!
A low roar resounded from behind as a terrifying pressure enveloped over, causing his body to tremble. Casting a glance from the corner of his eyes, he saw the dark-golden silhouette within close proximity. A hand that was suffused with a dark-golden luster was ruthlessly grabbing towards him.
At this moment, there was no way for him to escape.
When Maha You saw this scene, a cold light flickered in his eyes. 'I'll see how you're going to jump this time!'
As the deathly aura blew over, Mu Chen's hands joined together and the Immortal Golden Body appeared behind him. When the dark-golden silhouette saw this, the greed in its eyes grew even more intense.
At this moment, Mu Chen no longer fled. He turned his head and coldly looked at the dark-golden silhouette. In the next instant, he suddenly formed seals with his hands and a deep voice slowly came from his mouth.
"Explode!"
When his voice resounded, cracks appeared on the Immortal Golden Body behind him. Shortly after, a purplish-golden sun blossomed within the Immortal Golden Body with radiance bursting out.
Boom!
An earth-shattering commotion resounded with purplish-golden radiance filling the entire world. An indescribable shock wave swept out, destroying everything in its path.
It was so much so that even the dark-golden silhouette that was pouncing towards Mu Chen was blown a few myriad feet away with a painful roar.
"Self-destructing his Immortal Golden Body?!"
Ye Qing's face changed at this scene. He never expected that Mu Chen would be so decisive to self-destruct his Immortal Golden Body. One must know that this was self-destructing his Immortal Origin. That also meant that Mu Chen would no longer be able to refine his Immortal Golden Body in the future, unless he started cultivating again.
"That fellow."
Maha You was also shocked by Mu Chen's decisiveness, so he squinted his eyes. He initially thought that Mu Chen would die, but he never expected that the latter would be able to escape by self-destructing his Immortal Golden Body.
But he soon stopped thinking about it. Even if Mu Chen managed to survive by self-destructing his Immortal Golden Body, he would still be heavily injured, and there's nothing to worry about.
Now, he only had to wait for Ye Qing to be dealt with before he could make a move.
As he thought of this, a sinister smile rose from the corners of his mouth. With a clench of his hand, an ancient talisman appeared in his hand, faintly emitting extremely terrifying ripples.
Their Ancient Maha Clan had already made preparations for the Primordial Immortal Body. Although the current situation was out of his control, he still had means to deal with it.
Naturally, he had to get rid of everyone before that.
"Chen 'er!"
Outside the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, Qing Yanjing's face turned pale when she saw Mu Chen self-destructing his Immortal Golden Body. In the next moment, a terrifying storm of Spiritual Energy exploded from her body that caused the entire region to tremble.
Qing Yanjing's face was cold with a chill in her eyes. She turned into a streak of light and charged towards the Primordial Immortal Pagoda.
"Qing Yanjing, you're impudent!"
Maha Tian roared and appeared outside the Primordial Immortal Pagoda with a terrifying Spiritual Energy storm wreaking havoc between the heavens and earth along with the pressure of a Saint Heavenly Sovereign.
"Get lost!"
Qing Yanjing's eyes flickered with killing intent as she formed seals with her hands. Instantly, a massive Spiritual Array descended from the sky that enveloped Maha Tian.
It was a world of white magma with a terrifying temperature that could even melt an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign into nothingness. As the magma dragons roared, they charged towards Maha Tian, who was standing in the sky.
When Maha Tian saw this scene, his face sank before he waved his hand. A black and white aura surged out and revolved around him. Every time the magma dragons charged over, they would be shattered by the black and white aura.
"Qing Yanjing, are you insane?
You want to start a war with my Ancient Maha Clan here?! "Maha Tian coldly said.
"Do you think that I will let Maha You off for plotting against my son?!" Qing Yanjing's voice echoed throughout the entire world.
Maha Tian coldly snorted, "In the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, everyone has to rely on their own means. This was Mu Chen's carelessness, and he can't blame anyone else. Aren't you throwing the Ancient Buddha Clan's face with your actions?"
"You're spouting nonsense."
Qing Yanjing sneered as she controlled the tens of thousands of magma dragons to look at Maha Tian.
Maha Tian's gaze sank before he solemnly said, "Are you sure that this is the time for a fight when there's an issue with the Primordial Immortal Pagoda?
Your son only self-destructed his Immortal Golden Body, and he's not dead. As long as Maha You deals with that dark-golden silhouette, he will be fine.
"If even Maha You can't deal with it, then your son will die, and none of us will be able to save him!"
When Maha Tian spoke out, Qing Yanjing was briefly stunned before her gaze turned cold. With a wave of her hand, the magma world disappeared.
"If anything happens to my son, I will not hesitate to start a war with your Ancient Maha Clan." Qing Yanjing coldly said before she returned to her original position.
Looking at Qing Yanjing's silhouette, a cold light flashed in the depths of Maha Tian's eyes before he returned to the stage as well.
When the two Saint Heavenly Sovereigns stopped fighting, everyone outside the Primordial Immortal Pagoda felt heavily relieved. At the same time, they wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads. That sudden confrontation had frightened them.
"That Qing Yanjing is too much."
When Maha Tian returned to the stage, the Elders of the Ancient Maha Clan couldn't help speaking out.
Squinting his eyes, Maha Tian coldly said, "Ignore her for now. Right now, the Primordial Immortal Body is more important. We'll deal with her after we obtain it."
As the storm wreaked havoc in this region, it lasted for a long time before it gradually dissipated.
At this moment, the ground was riddled with holes with ravines of myriad feet intertwining.
In the sky, Mu Chen's silhouette had already disappeared. However, Maha You and Ye Qing weren't in the mood to pay attention to that, since they saw the dark-golden silhouette charging towards them once again.
Previously, when Mu Chen self-destructed his Immortal Golden Body, his Immortal Origin had also scattered, causing the dark-golden silhouette to not obtain any of it. Thus, it was charging towards Maha You and Ye Qing.
When the two of them saw this scene, they immediately turned around and fled without any hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, it was another round of life and death.
As the whizzing sounds of wind constantly resounded, Mu Chen, who was covered in blood, laid in the abyss. His face was pale and the Spiritual Energy around him had withered. Clearly, he had suffered heavy injuries.
To him, self-destructing his Immortal Golden Body was something that he had never experienced in all these years.
One must know that he had destroyed his Immortal Origin, which meant that he could no longer refine his Immortal Golden Body.
His years of bitter cultivation had been destroyed, so even someone with Mu Chen's temperament felt heartache.
However, he knew that this wasn't the time for him to feel heartache. The crisis had yet to be resolved, and he had to think of a way out.
Huff!
Mu Chen's chest heaved up and down as he let out a long breath. The intense pain that came from his body made him frown his brows, but he wasn't too bothered about it. His gaze pierced through the abyss and looked at the ancient heavens and earth before slowly closing his eyes.
Now, it's time to test his conjecture.
If it was as he had guessed, then it wouldn't be a loss for him to self-destruct his Immortal Golden Body.
