"Saint Physique?!"
Qing Yanjing, Maha Tian, and the other Saint Heavenly Sovereigns' voices resounded, instantly sweeping a storm between the heavens and earth. Everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at the silhouette on the pagoda.
In the Great Thousand World, Saint Heavenly Sovereigns stood at the pinnacle, akin to Emperors that looked down on all lifeforms.
Although Saint Heavenly Sovereigns were rare, everyone knew that Saint Physiques were even rarer!
After all, the Dao of the Physical Body was difficult to cultivate, to begin with. If one wanted to cultivate the Physical Body to the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm, it would require a terrifying amount of luck. At the very least, there weren't many in the Great Thousand World who possessed the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm Physique.
At least among the five Saint Heavenly Sovereigns here, not even Maha Tian managed to cultivate a Saint Physique.
It was precisely because of the rarity of a Saint Physique that everyone was shocked when they heard that Mu Chen had reached this step.
"He … he actually managed to cultivate a Saint Physique?"
Behind Qing Yanjing, Xuan Guang and Mo Tong also had shock on their faces with their mouths widened for a long time. Their eyes were filled with envy, since it was something that everyone yearned for.
At this moment, they had completely erased the thoughts in their hearts. When Mu Chen possessed a Saint Physique, that meant that he possessed the strength to confront a Saint Heavenly Sovereign. Just in terms of strength, he had already surpassed them.
With this strength, Mu Chen possessed the qualifications to become the Patriarch of the Ancient Buddha Clan.
This made them feel complicated in their hearts. After all, Mu Chen could only rely on the Protective Spiritual Array to deal with them in their previous confrontation. But right now, even if Mu Chen stood there and allowed them to attack, they wouldn't be able to break through Mu Chen's physique.
After all, a Saint Physique wasn't just for show.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Futu Xuan stroked his beard. Even someone as inflexible as him couldn't help revealing a smile. Evidently, even he was shocked by Mu Chen's Saint Physique.
"It looks like Chen 'er has been using the Primordial Immortal Pagoda to cultivate his Saint Physique for the past half a year." Qing Yanjing smiled with pride and gratification.
"This kid's temperament isn't bad. He knows how to endure. He didn't get arrogant the moment he obtained the Primordial Immortal Body. He even knows how to hide and raise his strength to its peak before revealing himself."
Futu Xuan exclaimed. If someone else obtained a powerful Sovereign Celestial Body like the Primordial Immortal Body, they would probably feel that they're the greatest in the world and become arrogant. But if that's the case, then they wouldn't be far from disaster.
Hearing Futu Xuan's praise, Qing Yanjing nodded her head with a smile.
While they were exclaiming, the Ancient Maha Clan was silent with all the Elders' faces turning pale. They never expected that in just half a year, Mu Chen, who even Maha You couldn't deal with, would possess a Saint Physique.
This way, Mu Chen's strength had practically risen to an indescribable height, and he could even confront a genuine Saint Heavenly Sovereign.
Maha You's eyes turned red with jealousy. He wanted to tear Mu Chen into pieces. That's because this opportunity belonged to him, and if it wasn't for Mu Chen's appearance, he would probably be the only one in the Ancient Maha Clan to possess a Saint Physique. If his cultivation broke through to the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm, then his fighting strength might even surpass Maha Tian and become the strongest in the Ancient Maha Clan.
If he knew that this would happen, he would have made a move back in the Greatlaw Continent and killed Mu Chen without any hesitation, preventing him from participating in the Primordial Immortal Assembly.
But it was a pity that there was no medicine for regret in the world. Facing Mu Chen's transformation, the regret in Maha You's heart practically drove him insane.
Maha Tian's gaze had also turned grim, but he was a shrewd person. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the fluctuation in his heart and said, "I never expected that you would possess a Saint Physique. It's no wonder why you ignored the goodwill of my Ancient Maha Clan."
"Goodwill?"
Standing on the pagoda, Mu Chen smiled. "Ordinary people can't understand the goodwill of the Patriarch of the Ancient Maha Clan."
Since Maha Tian could become the Patriarch of the Ancient Maha Clan, not only was he powerful, but his face was also unimaginably thick since he could speak such shameless words so easily.
Maha Tian's face did not change, but his voice gradually turned indifferent. "I initially wanted to talk to you nicely, but it looks like you think that you can do whatever you want with a Saint Physique. Let me tell you that you'll have to keep the Primordial Immortal Body, whether you want it or not!"
"Haha, what a big tone. I'll see how your Ancient Maha Clan is going to keep it today!" When Maha Tian finished speaking, Qing Yanjing's cold voice resounded.
Maha Tian's gaze turned grim with cold killing intent surging in his eyes. Turning to Qing Yanjing, he asked, "Is your Ancient Buddha Clan really intending to start a war with my Ancient Maha Clan?"
"If it wasn't for you, Maha Tian, being so overbearing, I wouldn't be willing to go to war." Futu Xuan faintly replied.
Gently nodding his head, Maha Tian sighed, "I already expected that you guys wouldn't give up, so I can only use a favor today."
When he finished speaking, Maha Tian calmly said, "Brother Hei Tian, please show yourself."
When Maha Tian finished his last word, the bright sky had instantly turned pitch-black. It was a darkness that covered the sun, devouring any light that came in contact with it.
The darkness disappeared as quickly as it came. But when light shone down, everyone noticed two silhouettes appearing beside Maha Tian.
Those two silhouettes were donned in black robes, but their pupils were pitch-black without any sclera. They looked like black holes that made others feel fearful.
Looking at the two of them, Mu Chen squinted his eyes. He could sense a terrifying fluctuation coming from them. Evidently, the two of them were also Saint Heavenly Sovereigns!
"Ancient Onyx Clan, Hei Tian, and Hei Di, are the two of you going to interfere in today's matter?!"
When Qing Yanjing and Futu Xuan saw those two silhouettes, their faces changed and they said in a solemn voice.
"Ancient Onyx Clan?"
Mu Chen's heart trembled. He finally understood the origins of those two black-clothed people. They're actually from one of the Five Ancient Clans, the Ancient Onyx Clan?!
Outside the city, everyone was shocked. No one expected that the Ancient Maha Clan would invite two Saint Heavenly Sovereigns from the Ancient Onyx Clan.
One must know that not even ordinary clansmen of the Ancient Onyx Clan appeared, not to mention two Saint Heavenly Sovereigns from the Ancient Onyx Clan.
Hearing Qing Yanjing's voice, one of the two black-clothed men raised his head. His face was pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun for years. He sighed, "My Ancient Onyx Clan owes the Ancient Maha Clan a favor, and we have no choice but to make a move. I hope that Grand Elder Qing Yanjing can understand."
Qing Yanjing and Futu Xuan's faces were a little unsightly. This scene had exceeded their expectations. The Ancient Maha Clan actually managed to invite the Ancient Onyx Clan over.
With the help of the Ancient Black Heaven Clan, there was a huge difference in the formation between the two sides. Facing five Saint Heavenly Sovereigns, even their Ancient Buddha Clan felt a great pressure.
Behind Qing Yanjing, the Heavenly Sovereigns of the Ancient Buddha Clan also felt uneasy.
It looked like the Ancient Maha Clan was going all out to protect the Primordial Immortal Body.
Maha Tian first cupped his hands towards Hei Tian and Hei Di before looking at Mu Chen. "I've said that you can't take the Primordial Immortal Body away."
Squinting his eyes, Mu Chen calmly replied, "I'll have to try to know if I can."
Although the appearance of the Ancient Onyx Clan had exceeded his expectations, it's also impossible for the Ancient Maha Clan to snatch the Primordial Immortal Body away from him.
"You're truly unwilling to shed tears until you see the coffin. It's just a Saint Physique, and it looks like no one can do anything to you."
Maha Tian's gaze turned dark as he looked at Hei Tian and Hei Di. "Please stop the Ancient Buddha Clan."
"As for the Primordial Immortal Body, my Ancient Maha Clan will personally take it back."
Exchanging a glance, Hei Tian and Hei Di helplessly nodded their heads. Truth be told, they didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the two Ancient Clans, but they owed a favor in the past.
Standing behind Maha Tian, Maha You viciously looked at Mu Chen with a sneer. Even if Mu Chen has a Saint Physique, he can only surrender before the Ancient Maha Clan.
"You dare?!"
Qing Yanjing's face turned cold as space fluctuated behind her. A massive Spiritual Array that was akin to a world appeared behind her, emanating a terrifying pressure.
A black radiance appeared in the sky with Hei Tian and Hei Di obstructing their path with darkness spreading out behind them.
At the same time, Maha Tian nodded his head to the two old men behind him. The two of them took a step forth and charged towards Mu Chen with a boundless pressure that caused the heavens and earth to tremble.
Mu Chen looked at the two of them as a chill flowed in his eyes. He slowly clenched his fist and a golden light surged from the pores on his body.
Buzz!
But just when he was about to make a move, an ancient barrier descended from the sky. It was akin to a barrier that isolated the heavens and earth, obstructing the two Saint Heavenly Sovereigns of the Ancient Maha Clan.
As the ancient light screen descended, an aged voice echoed throughout the world.
"Haha, it's really lively here today. But my Holy Maiden has said that our Ancient Spirit Clan will definitely protect Mu Chen."
The sudden aged voice caused Mu Chen's heart to jolt as he abruptly raised his head to look at the pillar of light that was descending from the sky. In the next instant, he saw a graceful figure that was engraved in his bones and heart, faintly discernible within the pillar of light.
The silhouette in the pillar of light had also lowered her head as her crystal-like pupils met with Mu Chen's gaze. In that instant, the lips of the beauty rose into a mischievous smile that stunned the world and also softened Mu Chen's heart.
