The dazzling golden platform stood at the only path that led to the peak of the mountain. Golden light spread out, as if golden liquid was flowing, and it was exceptionally dazzling.
Mu Chen stepped onto the golden platform as he swept his gaze around. This golden platform was roughly a thousand feet in size, and it was extremely spacious. But at this moment, there were only a few silhouettes on this spacious golden platform.
More accurately speaking, there were five silhouettes.
Furthermore, those five silhouettes were people that Mu Chen had seen before. Four of them were, as expected, the Four Great Domain Lords of the Great Heaven Domain. As for the fifth person, it was the robust man that Mu Chen had encountered when he first entered the Goldpond Peak.
He never expected that this person would actually be able to ascend the Greatlaw Goldplatform.
While Mu Chen was sizing up the five silhouettes on the Greatlaw Goldplatform, the five gazes had also converged onto him. Aside from Wu Tian and Cao Feng's cold gazes, the other three were slightly shocked. They had probably witnessed the scene of Mu Chen charging through the encirclement of the seven Sovereigns.
That scene had truly shocked them. Because they understood that in that instant, the reason why Mu Chen was able to intimidate the seven Sovereigns wasn't because of his own strength, but because of his fearsome spirit.
In this world, there were many geniuses, and there were also many people who possessed extraordinary talent. However, those who could eventually become famous super experts all possessed unshakable willpower and extraordinary spirit.
That spirit could be understood as a form of fearlessness. No matter what opponent they faced, they would never retreat. Even if there was an insurmountable mountain before them, they would still fearlessly charge forward.
In those moments of life and death, they would fight for a trace of life and be reborn.
The calmness that Mu Chen had displayed earlier had shocked them. That shock was even more intense than when Mu Chen defeated the four Sovereigns of Mt Mang.
Therefore.
Even the first and second of the Four Great Domain Lords, Xu Qing and Zhou Yue, had a trace of seriousness in their eyes when they looked at Mu Chen.
"Hehe, how interesting.
I didn't expect that there would be two dark horses this time. They're much stronger than before. "
A burst of laughter rang out. Wu Tian was beaming as he sized up Mu Chen and the burly man, a mocking and ruminating smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Mu Chen's expression was calm as he walked forward slowly towards the northern corner. Presently, if he was included, then there were another six people present on the Allheaven Goldarena, and the positions for the Allheaven Goldpool.
There were only four of them, which meant that two of them would be eliminated.
On the other hand, all those that were able to overcome the numerous obstructions to ascend the Allheaven Goldplatform could be considered to be top figures in the younger generation of the Great Heaven Domain.
The difficulty of defeating two of them would likely be more difficult than any of the previous battles.
Mu Chen's gaze slightly fluctuated. His body seemed to be relaxed, but the Spiritual Energy within his body was like a ferocious dragon roaring.
He was prepared to burst forth with terrifying power at any moment to deal with any attacks.
While Mu Chen was silent, the other five on the Allheaven Goldplatform no longer spoke. But everyone could sense an undercurrent flowing in the air.
It was flowing on the Goldplatform.
Amongst the six of them, which two would be eliminated?
Beneath the Goldpond Peak, everyone's gazes were gathered on the Allheaven Goldplatform. Many people had nervous expressions because this could be considered the final battle.
As long as there was an outcome, then the four positions of the Allheaven Goldpond would belong to them.
Judging from the current situation, Mu Chen and the robust man had the highest chances of being eliminated. After all, although they were dark horses, their foundations were clearly weaker compared to the Four Great Domain Lords, whose fame had spread far and wide.
Under everyone's gazes, Wu Tian's snake-like gaze slowly rotated on Mu Chen and the burly man as he said with a smile, "The two of you are newcomers, so the two of you will be the ones to choose your opponents for the final battle. This can be considered as us seniors giving preferential treatment to the two of you. Of course, you can also choose each other, it seems to be easier this way."
His smile was a little sinister and the hidden meaning within it was extremely obvious. He wanted Mu Chen and the burly man to kill each other for a while, and when the outcome of the battle between the two of them was determined, then they would fight for the final quota.
Mu Chen had an indifferent expression on his face as he paid no attention to the burly man. Wu Tian also smiled and paid no attention to him as he shifted his gaze towards the burly man.
Under Wu Tian's gaze, the burly man's gaze fluctuated. Judging from the current situation, it was obvious that Mu Chen was easier to deal with amongst the five of them. But even though he seemed crude, he was extremely meticulous. He could acutely sense that this youth called Mu Chen didn't seem to be simple.
There seemed to be a ferocious tiger concealed within the depths of his seemingly modest black pupils. Once it erupted, it would definitely devour someone. As far as he was concerned, if he really had to choose an opponent amongst the five of them, he wouldn't want to choose Mu Chen.
If such a person became his enemy, it would definitely cause him to be unable to eat or sleep in peace.
The burly man's gaze fluctuated. In the end, he took a deep breath and revealed a friendly smile towards Mu Chen. Shortly after, he shifted his gaze towards Wu Tian and cupped his hands together with a smile. "I am Fang Lei of the Lion-Tiger Mountain, a subordinate of the Great Heaven Domain. I seek guidance from Commander Wu Tian."
When his voice rang out, Wu Tian's face instantly darkened. His gaze was as cold as a blade as he stared at the burly man. He never imagined that not only would that fellow fail his plan, but he would even take the initiative to provoke him.
Now that the four Great Domain Lords were present, that fellow chose to provoke him instead of anyone else. Did he think that he was the weakest amongst the four Great Domain Lords?
This kind of provocation wasn't something that Wu Tian could endure. Thus, he eerily stared at the burly man called Fang Lei and grinned, revealing his white teeth like a wild beast. "Good, very good. You're truly courageous."
Mu Chen was a little startled by the burly man's choice. After all, on the surface, he didn't pose much of a threat compared to the burly man, who was one of the four Great Domain Lords. However, Fang Lei was willing to take the risk of offending Wu Tian and give up on fighting with him. His actions were truly surprising.
However, his choice had given Mu Chen an opportunity. That's because, he could avoid exhausting his strength through consecutive battles.
Therefore, he also nodded slightly at Fang Lei before he slowly stepped forward. His somewhat cold eyes swept across the four great commanders, before sweeping past Xu Qing, Zhou Yue, and finally stopping on Wu Tian and the calm-looking Cao Feng.
"The new Domain Lord of the Jiu You Palace, Mu Chen. I wonder if Domain Lord Cao Feng can give me some pointers?"
When Mu Chen's calm voice resounded on the Greatlaw Goldstage, the atmosphere here seemed to have abruptly frozen. Beneath the Goldpond Peak, the atmosphere was instantly ignited.
Waves of exclamations soared into the sky as countless people had shock on their faces. Their eyes lit up and their interest was instantly piqued. That's because everyone knew of the relationship between Cao Feng and the Jiu You Palace in the past. Right now, Mu Chen was the new Domain Lord of the Jiu You Palace. Now that the new and old Domain Lords had encountered each other, it would definitely be extremely interesting if they were to fight.
They wanted to know if the old Domain Lord, who betrayed the Jiu You Palace, was more formidable, or the new Domain Lord that Jiu You brought back was more formidable?
The Jiu You Palace had already misjudged him once. I wonder if he will misjudge him again this time?
Amidst the uproar, in the direction of the Jiu You Palace, everyone in the Jiu You Guard had a cold expression as they stared hatefully at Cao Feng. Back then, the latter had betrayed the Jiu You Palace, which meant that he had also abandoned the Jiu You Guard.
To them, there was nothing more painful than the betrayal of a Domain Lord.
Tang Bing and Tang Rou tightly clenched their hands as unconcealable nervousness appeared on their faces. Although they knew that the battle between Mu Chen and Cao Feng would happen sooner or later, they couldn't help but feel ripples in their hearts when it really happened.
Cao Feng's betrayal was the pain of the Jiu You Palace, and they could also understand it. The Jiu You Palace also had a knot in their hearts. After all, anyone who was betrayed by someone they once trusted would not be able to let go of it.
None of them could solve this knot, so they could only rely on Mu Chen to take action. Because he was the new Domain Lord of the Jiu You Palace and he had taken over Cao Feng's position, he needed to erase all traces that Cao Feng had left behind.
This erasure was not difficult. As long as he could defeat Cao Feng, he could officially tell everyone in the Great Heaven Domain that in the future, he, Mu Chen, would be the true Domain Lord of the Jiu You Palace, Jiu You Guard.
Everyone and their names in the past would be overshadowed by his brilliance.
The betrayer in the past would gradually fade away, and the Jiu You Palace, after welcoming the right person, would radiate the brilliance that belonged to it.
Of course, the prerequisite for all of this was that Mu Chen had the strength to erase the traces that Cao Feng had left behind. And right now, the battle between him and Cao Feng would be the time for that to be revealed.
Perhaps in the Great Heaven Domain, countless people were waiting for that outcome.
Whether or not the Jiu You Palace could clear its name would depend on this battle.
At the foot of the Goldpond Peak, countless exclamations soared into the sky. On the Greatlaw Goldstage, Cao Feng also faintly smiled as he looked at Mu Chen. A cold arc slowly rose on the corner of his lips.
Wasn't Mu Chen's choice of him as his opponent also a part of his plan?
He wanted to let Jiu You know that his excellence wasn't something that she could find anyone to replace.
Cao Feng slowly spat out a ball of white mist, then took a step out. He raised his palm and lightly bent it towards Mu Chen. His gaze was as cold as a blade, and at the same time, his light laughter also spread out on the Greatlaw Goldstage.
"You want to challenge me?
Then as you wish. But I hope that you have the courage to bear the price. "
