A thunderous roar resounded from the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
The sudden roar had instantly attracted the attention of everyone outside the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, and their faces trembled. They could sense a terrifying killing intent flowing in the atmosphere between the Ancient Maha Clan and Ancient Buddha Clan.
"Looks like Mu Chen won't be able to hide anymore."
"What can he do? He can't possibly hide for half a year, right?
Judging from the Ancient Maha Clan's attitude, they won't let this matter rest so easily. "
"After all, he's young and rash, and he has no idea how much bloodshed he will cause. The Ancient Buddha Clan might be powerful, but this is the territory of the Ancient Maha Clan. If they fight, they might suffer. At that time, the Primordial Immortal Body might really be snatched back by the Ancient Maha Clan!"
“”
Everyone outside the city was whispering amongst themselves. They clearly felt that Mu Chen had been hiding for half a year to avoid the Ancient Maha Clan.
However, the Ancient Maha Clan and Ancient Buddha Clan paid no attention to those voices outside the city. Their gazes were fixed on the Primordial Immortal Pagoda with different emotions flickering in their eyes.
Buzz!
Buzz! Under their gazes, the Primordial Immortal Pagoda trembled with a profound halo emanating from it. Shortly after, a beam of light soared into the sky from the top of the pagoda, piercing through the clouds.
Without any expression on his face, Maha Tian raised his head and looked at the peak of the pagoda. A silhouette slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
That figure was tall and straight. His clothes gently fluttered, while the pores all over his body faintly flickered with golden light. His handsome face flickered with a faint jade light, while golden light flowed deep within his pitch-black eyes, causing his entire body to emit a mysterious and indescribable aura.
That silhouette was naturally Mu Chen, who had been secluded in the Primordial Immortal Pagoda for five years.
Under the countless gazes, Mu Chen's eyes were calm without any ripples. When he stepped out of the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, he could sense the terrifying and oppressive atmosphere in this region.
Facing such a situation, if he had stepped into the Wangu Tower, he would have felt really nervous. After all, he wasn't strong enough and he couldn't really remain calm.
However, it was a pity that Mu Chen's cultivation had reached an indescribable height after five years of secluded cultivation.
"What a grand display. Although I managed to obtain the acknowledgement of the Primordial Immortal Body, I'm still a little ashamed to receive such a reception from the Ancient Maha Clan."
Mu Chen swept his gaze down and looked at the terrifying formation on the stage. His gaze briefly paused on Maha Tian and the two old men behind him before he smiled.
When the spectators outside the city heard those words, they couldn't help smiling. Mu Chen was truly courageous. Everyone could tell that the Ancient Maha Clan wasn't friendly, but he still dared to speak in such a manner. It was akin to slapping the Ancient Maha Clan's face.
"Brat, I'm afraid that you won't be able to enjoy it!"
Before Maha Tian could reply, Mu Chen's voice resounded. Maha You's voice was filled with killing intent.
He was defeated by the Primordial Immortal Pagoda and Mu Chen. He had lost a great opportunity and even caused his Ancient Maha Clan to lose the Primordial Immortal Body. For the past half a year, his life wasn't good. If it wasn't for the fact that Maha Tian was his elder brother, he would have been treated as a sinner by now.
So when he saw Mu Chen, he naturally couldn't contain his rage.
However, his enraged words were stopped by Maha Tian with a wave of his hand. The latter looked at Mu Chen and smiled. "Little friend Mu Chen's talent is truly extraordinary to obtain the acknowledgement of the Primordial Immortal Body. It's truly shocking."
Looking at Maha Tian, Mu Chen smiled. "Patriarch Maha, you're overpraising me. If Maha You was a little more attentive and could tell that the dark-golden silhouette was a fake, I might not have been involved."
Maha You's eyelids twitched with veins bulging on his forehead. He wanted to kill Mu Chen right now.
Nodding his head with a smile, Maha Tian said, "But Mu Chen should know that my Ancient Maha Clan has been protecting the Primordial Immortal Body for tens of thousands of years, and we have put in a lot of effort. So isn't it a little inappropriate for Mu Chen to take it away so easily?"
Squinting his eyes, Mu Chen replied, "Patriarch Maha, you're wrong. The Primordial Immortal Body was left behind by the Immortal Emperor to find a suitable owner for it. Furthermore, the Immortal Emperor even passed the Great Solar Undying Body and Immortal Golden Body to your Ancient Maha Clan. So your Ancient Maha Clan has a much higher chance of obtaining the Primordial Immortal Body compared to others.
"This can be considered as the compensation that the Immortal Emperor gave to your Ancient Maha Clan to protect the Primordial Immortal Body. But it's a pity that your Ancient Maha Clan hasn't been able to obtain the acknowledgement of the Primordial Immortal Body after tens of thousands of years, so you can't blame others for it."
Mu Chen's calm voice resounded, which caused many people to nod their heads in agreement. The Ancient Maha Clan has been protecting the Primordial Immortal Body for tens of thousands of years, and they've always been the first to obtain it. In terms of probability, they had the highest chance of obtaining the Primordial Immortal Body.
But now that they've failed, it could only be attributed to themselves.
Maha Tian squinted his eyes and the smile on his face gradually retracted. "I won't talk much with you, but I have a suggestion. I hope that Mu Chen can leave the Primordial Immortal Body in my Ancient Maha Clan for another hundred years. After a hundred years, I can swear that my Ancient Maha Clan will not obstruct you from retrieving the Primordial Immortal Body. What do you think?"
Maha Tian's words caused a ridiculing smile to appear on Mu Chen's face. He never expected that a Saint Heavenly Sovereign like Maha Tian would speak such shameless words.
Leave the Primordial Immortal Body in the Ancient Maha Clan for a hundred years?
As long as it wasn't a three-year-old, no one would believe in such words.
"It looks like the Patriarch of the Ancient Maha Clan doesn't care about his face anymore?"
A cold voice resounded. Qing Yanjing couldn't help speaking out with ridicule in her tone.
Mu Chen gently shook his head. "Patriarch Maha, please don't joke around. Since the Primordial Immortal Body has acknowledged me as its owner, then its fate with your clan has come to an end. So I will naturally take it away."
Along with Mu Chen's words, everyone felt the entire region turning silent.
Maha Tian's expression returned to being indifferent as he looked at Mu Chen. "So you're saying that Mu Chen isn't willing to fulfill this small wish of my Ancient Maha Clan?"
Boom!
When he finished speaking, an indescribable pressure of a Saint Heavenly Sovereign burst out like a storm, enveloping towards Mu Chen's location.
As the pressure spread out, space froze. Regardless of whether it was the air or the Spiritual Energy, they were all frozen to the point that they couldn't move, just like mosquitoes trapped in amber.
The pressure of the Saint Heavenly Sovereign had also descended onto Mu Chen.
Facing the pressure of a Saint Heavenly Sovereign, Mu Chen squinted his eyes. But surprisingly, there wasn't any fear in his eyes. On the contrary, a sneer rose on the corner of his lips.
If it was before he entered the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, he wouldn't even be able to move his limbs when facing the pressure of a Saint Heavenly Sovereign. But after five years of bitter cultivation, his physique had been reforged by the Immortal Origin.
At this moment, his physique was so powerful that not even an ordinary Saint Heavenly Sovereign could be compared to him.
Buzz!
Therefore, facing that pressure, Mu Chen clenched his fist and the pores on his body emitted a golden light. His entire body trembled, as if he had turned into a silhouette forged from gold.
A similarly terrifying power burst out from his flesh and bones. With just a jolt, the space around him had swiftly shattered like glass.
In the blink of an eye, the frightening pressure that enveloped over had completely vanished.
"What?!"
This scene caused many people to exclaim. Many Heavenly Sovereigns were shocked, since they knew how terrifying a Saint Heavenly Sovereign was. Facing that pressure, even a Late Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign wouldn't be able to move. But right now, it was so easily resolved by Mu Chen?!
The Elders of the Ancient Maha Clan had their faces changed at this scene. Even Maha You had disbelief on his face.
Only Maha Tian and the two old men behind him understood what was going on. Their faces instantly turned grim as they looked at Mu Chen's body that was emanating a mysterious golden lustre.
Not far away, Qing Yanjing and Futu Xuan, who were about to make a move, were stunned as they looked at Mu Chen. After exchanging a look, they couldn't help sucking in cold breaths.
Shortly after, a trembling voice resounded from Maha Tian and Qing Yanjing's mouths, which lifted a wave in this region.
"This is a Saint Physique?!"
