Buzz!
A dazzling golden stone platform slowly appeared in the distorted space. It was extremely massive and one couldn't even see the end of it with a single glance.
The upper layer of the Dragon-Phoenix Stage was covered by thick layers of clouds and one could only vaguely see the flickering golden light. However, the pressure that descended from the heavens made many experts feel suffocated.
The pressure that was being emitted from the Dragon-Phoenix Stage was simply too powerful.
But even if the pressure was extremely powerful, all the experts had their gazes blazing as they stared at the Dragon-Phoenix Stage that hovered in the nine heavens. Their eyes were filled with greed. It was said that there was an inheritance left behind by the True Dragon and Phoenix at the summit of the Dragon-Phoenix Stage. The temptation was sufficient to make any Sovereign expert go insane.
"That's the Dragon-Phoenix Stage?"
Mu Chen had also raised his head as he stared at the ancient stone platform. He could sense the blood in his body speeding up at this moment, as if they were being strongly attracted. That feeling was as if there was something on the Dragon-Phoenix Stage that could make them even more perfect.
"The Dragon-Phoenix Stage has appeared!"
The silence between the heavens and earth lasted for a brief moment, before an ecstatic voice resounded. Thereafter, whooshing sounds rang out as streaks of light soared from the ground, shooting towards the Dragon-Phoenix Stage in the sky from every direction.
Many of them did not obtain the Blood Essences of the True Dragon and Phoenix, but they were still harboring hope in their hearts. After all, the Dragon-Phoenix Stage was right before them, so no matter what, they had to give it a try.
Mu Chen and the rest wore calm expressions as they looked at the crowd before them. They did not make any movements and allowed them to charge towards the Dragon-Phoenix Stage.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whooshing sounds rang out as streaks of light practically covered the horizon. It was so much so that even the golden light that shot out from the Dragon-Phoenix Stage was covered by the sea of people. It was an extremely spectacular scene.
The speed of those streaks of light was extremely swift. In just ten-odd breaths of time, they had already approached the Dragon-Phoenix Stage. However, just when they were a thousand feet away from the Dragon-Phoenix Stage, a golden light suddenly swept out from the Dragon-Phoenix Stage.
Within the golden light, there seemed to be resounding ancient dragon roars and phoenix cries.
Boom!
Bang!
Wherever the golden light passed, countless figures of light were instantly shaken and shot out. Immediately, they vomited blood and fell from the sky like birds with broken wings.
Dong!
Countless figures fell to the ground, smashing numerous deep pits into the ground. It would be fine if these fellows had a strong cultivation. However, if they had not cultivated their physical bodies, their internal organs would have been shaken to the point of bleeding.
Along with the cleansing of the golden light, the sky instantly became empty. However, not everyone was swept down. Within the golden light, there were dozens of silhouettes that soared into the sky with vague dragon and phoenix lustre on the surface of their bodies. Clearly, they had refined the Blood Essences of the Dragon and Phoenix, which was the reason why they could endure the cleansing of the golden light.
"Let's go as well!"
When Mu Chen saw this scene, he spoke to Cai Xiao and took the lead to soar into the horizon, turning into a streak of light as he made his way towards the Dragon-Phoenix Stage.
At the same time when Mu Chen and Cai Xiao made their move, Fang Yi, the Netherworld Prince, Su Biyue and the rest had also made their way towards the Dragon-Phoenix Stage without any hesitation.
On the ground that was wailing, innumerable experts could only bitterly sigh as they looked at those people with extraordinary auras. It looked like they truly did not have the qualifications to dip a finger in the Dragon-Phoenix Stage. However, the only thing that comforted them was that there would definitely be an earth-shattering battle that would erupt on the Dragon-Phoenix Stage.
It would represent the peak amongst the younger generations of their Northern Region!
Whoosh!
Mu Chen's figure charged towards the Dragon-Phoenix Stage as the golden light spread out. In an instant, an extremely heavy pressure enveloped down. In this region, even the air seemed to have frozen, as if there was an invisible wall.
However, that pressure did not pose any obstruction to Mu Chen. A faint golden light blossomed on the surface of his body, instantly dispersing the stagnant feeling. Not only was there no obstruction to his speed, it was like a fish that had entered the water. In a flash, he had already ascended onto the ancient and majestic Dragon-Phoenix Stage.
When Mu Chen's feet landed on the stone stage, it felt cold and firm. Sweeping his gaze around, he saw that the ground seemed to be made of dense golden dragon scales that were indestructible.
Raising one's line of sight, one could see layers upon layers of golden wings unfurling above the enormous stone platform. Every layer of golden wings had transformed into a stone platform that continued to extend upwards until it disappeared into the thick layers of clouds.
Rustle!
Light flickered on the Dragon-Phoenix Stage as silhouettes appeared in a flash. However, those silhouettes that appeared on the Dragon-Phoenix Stage had retreated a distance away from each other, guarding against each other.
Cai Xiao appeared beside Mu Chen. Her cold gaze was fixed onto Fang Yi, who was in another direction. Clearly, this Big Sister and Big Sister Chen were going to fight it out with the latter this time.
Fang Yi had clearly sensed Cai Xiao's gaze. Although there was no change in his expression, his gaze had slightly narrowed. Cai Xiao's mysteriousness was something that even he was fearful of. Being targeted by her was clearly an extremely troublesome matter.
There were roughly ten-odd silhouettes on the Dragon-Phoenix Stage. Every single one of them was surging with powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations. Aside from a few people, the majority of them had stepped into the Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm!
Those people were the true elites amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region.
Along with the appearance of those people, the vast Dragon-Phoenix Stage had fallen into silence. No one spoke a word, but everyone could feel the undercurrent surging in the atmosphere.
Mu Chen still maintained a calm expression. Although there were many geniuses gathered here and not a single one of them was easy to deal with, he and Cai Xiao weren't afraid of anyone here if they joined hands.
After witnessing Cai Xiao's strength, there shouldn't be anyone that dared to make a move against them.
The silence continued on the Dragon-Phoenix Stage. Roughly a few minutes later, a golden light suddenly blossomed on the Dragon-Phoenix Stage. Dragon scales appeared on the surface of the stage, forming into a massive golden mirror.
Mu Chen and the rest were standing on the surface of the golden mirror.
On the surface of the golden mirror, the golden light flowed like liquid, gathering beneath everyone's feet. As the golden light flowed up, it enveloped everyone's feet. In that instant when it enveloped them, everyone could sense an invisible fluctuation sweeping through their bodies.
Buzz!
As the golden light flowed, in the next moment, a golden light of varying strengths burst out from the surface of those silhouettes. The golden light was accompanied by a brilliant dragon roar and phoenix cry.
"It's the Blood Essence Detection!"
Everyone understood at this moment that the Dragon-Phoenix Stage seemed to be detecting the strength of the Blood Essences of the True Dragon and Phoenix in their bodies. The strength of the Blood Essences was probably related to their chances of obtaining the inheritance of the True Dragon and Phoenix.
Therefore, everyone was a little nervous as they looked at the golden light that was being emitted from their bodies.
Boom!
Just when everyone was nervously looking at the golden light on their bodies and inwardly trying to figure it out, a golden pillar of light that was roughly ten feet in size soared into the sky. That golden light had surpassed everyone else.
Countless people immediately directed their gazes over and saw the robust Ding Xuan grinning in the golden light. His laughter was akin to thunder. Clearly, the Blood Essences of the True Dragon and Phoenix that he had refined weren't weak.
Boom!
But when his laughter rang out, another similarly robust golden light soared into the sky. Within the golden light, a dragon roar resounded. Within the golden light, Liu Yan did not have any expression on his face. His indifferent gaze was fixed onto Mu Chen.
On the Dragon-Phoenix Stage, the faces of many experts slightly changed. From the looks of it, Liu Yan and Ding Xuan had surpassed them.
Liiii!
Another two clear phoenix cries resounded at the same time as the golden light around Su Biyue and Hong Yu surged. Within the golden light, there were light phoenix wings unfolding. Compared to Liu Yan and Ding Xuan, their strength was only stronger and not weaker.
They had cultivated the 'Pseudo Phoenix Physique'.
Rustle!
Countless gazes were directed at Fang Yi and the Netherworld Prince at this moment. That's because they could see the golden light gathering beneath their feet. Furthermore, the formation was extremely terrifying as it was nearly a hundred feet!
Boom!
As the golden light surged, two massive golden pillars soared into the sky in the next instant. The two hundred-foot-thick golden pillars had caused the faces of the other geniuses to turn a little unsightly.
"Judging from the fluctuations, those two fellows have probably cultivated the 'True Dragon Physique'!"
An expert spoke with unwillingness. Judging from the looks of it, this Dragon-Phoenix Stage would probably be dominated by Fang Yi and the Netherworld Prince once again.
"Something's not right, why didn't Mu Chen detect it?!"
Suddenly, someone noticed Mu Chen. That's because, on the Dragon-Phoenix Stage, there wasn't any golden light beneath his feet, which made everyone a little stunned. Could it be that this fellow has not refined the Blood Essences of the True Dragon and Phoenix?
Then how did he ascend the stage?
Under the countless doubtful gazes, there wasn't any fluctuation on Mu Chen's face. He lowered his head and looked at the golden liquid beneath his feet. He could sense a fluctuation spreading out in his body. Being affected by that fluctuation, the blood in his body vaguely showed signs of boiling.
That boiling sensation continued to intensify, before it finally reached the peak.
Mu Chen slowly closed his eyes and spread his hands out.
A pillar of light soared into the sky. Although it was only a hundred feet, its lustre was a deep dark-gold, as if there was an endless pressure circulating within it.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
When the dark-gold pillar of light soared into the sky from Mu Chen's body, the other pillars of light on the Dragon-Phoenix Stage had suddenly exploded, turning into sparkles of golden light that drifted down.
In the entire Dragon-Phoenix Stage, only Mu Chen's dark-gold pillar of light stood towering between the heavens and earth, shining brightly.
That scene was as if a subject had met his monarch, bowing his head in defeat. Those golden pillars of light had also revealed the gap between them and Mu Chen's dark-gold pillar of light.
At this moment, countless people had shock on their faces.
