After Liu Qing's party charged into the massive ruined city, Mu Chen's group of four also did not delay any longer. They turned into four streaks of light and charged into the ruined city.
When the four of them charged into the ruined city, a vast and boundless feeling pounced over. Their vision seemed to blur for a moment. Vaguely, a vast and indescribable ancient city appeared in front of them.
The buildings in the city towered into the clouds, filled with a desolate feeling. Countless silhouettes flew across the sky and the heavens and earth were filled with beast roars that shook the heavens and earth.
As the beast roars resounded in their ears, the eyes of Mu Chen and the rest flickered. Instantly, the scene before them disappeared and the city before them was reduced to ruins with a sense of destruction spreading out in their eyes.
Mu Chen and Jiu You exchanged a glance. They knew that those scenes from before should be the remnant images of this place. However, they couldn't last for long and could only be sensed by others.
"What a pity for such a majestic city."
Mu Chen sighed. This was the first time that he had seen such a majestic city. Compared to it, the cities under the Great Heaven Domain were too unremarkable.
"After all, this place was once a top-tiered force in the Divine Beast Origin."
Jiu You nodded his head. In terms of strength, even their Jiu You Sparrow Clan couldn't be compared to this Great Desolate City. Thus, one could tell how terrifying this city was.
"But even if it's so powerful, it still couldn't escape from destruction." Mu Chen gently sighed. The Fiend Clans were truly a disaster to the Great Thousand World.
As the two of them spoke, their silhouettes did not stop as they streaked across the horizon.
He quickly headed towards the center of this huge ruined city.
In that direction, they could sense an extremely ancient fluctuation. Evidently, in this ruined city, only the Primordial Body Refining Pagoda that had survived could possess such power.
"Let's go!"
A glint flashed across the eyes of Mu Chen, Jiu You, and the others.
Shortly after, their speed abruptly soared as they streaked through space. This continued for roughly half an hour before their speed gradually slowed down.
Whoosh!
The four figures appeared on top of a dilapidated stone building.
When they appeared, their gazes were fixed to the front.
The land was flat and it wasn't cracked like the other parts of the city. Instead, it was perfectly preserved. All of this was because of the mottled ancient stone tower that quietly stood at the center of the land.
The stone tower was dark gray in color, and there seemed to be extremely ancient patterns on it.
As if it was naturally formed, it stood there. Even though it wasn't particularly majestic, when Mu Chen and the others looked at it, they couldn't help but hold their breath.
A terrifying pressure swept over, causing his body to feel a dull pain, as if it was about to collapse.
"This is the Ancient Body Refining Pagoda?"
Mu Chen looked at the Ancient Body Refining Pagoda.
As he sensed the pressure that surged over like floodwaters, his expression gradually became heated. Even though he had yet to enter, just by approaching it, he could feel the blood and flesh within his body seemingly boiling. That feeling caused him to be unable to control himself and forcefully charge in.
However, he forcefully suppressed that thought in the end. Although the mottled pagoda before him seemed to have experienced the passage of time and showed signs of damage, Mu Chen could still sense how terrifying it was. If he forcefully charged in, he would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant.
"Not to mention you, even a Lesser Earth Sovereign would not dare to forcefully charge into this Ancient Body Refining Pagoda." Jiu You seemed to have seen through Mu Chen's thoughts and reminded.
Hearing his words, Mu Chen's heart trembled. Although he could sense how terrifying this Ancient Body Refining Pagoda was, he never expected that not even an Earth Sovereign would dare to recklessly charge in. It looked like he had still underestimated this ancient object.
But thinking about it, it was within his expectations. In ancient times, this Ancient Body Refining Pagoda was something that was built with a massive amount of resources from those peak forces. So how could it not be terrifying? Otherwise, how could it still be in a damaged state after the entire Divine Beast Origin was destroyed?
"This Ancient Body Refining Pagoda has attracted quite a bit of people."
Mo Feng's gaze shifted from the Ancient Body Refining Pagoda as he narrowed his eyes and looked around, then faintly said.
When Mo Feng's gaze swept around, Mu Chen had already sensed that there were sharp gazes directed over in this region, which had enveloped the four of them.
Mu Chen's brows slightly twitched as he followed the exceptionally ferocious gazes. In the next instant, he saw four figures standing on a mountain peak that was in ruins.
The four of them were as sturdy as metal towers, donned in black armour, emitting a dense ominous aura. Their eyes were scarlet red and there was a pitch-black rhinoceros horn on their foreheads. That horn was slightly curved, looking as if it could pierce through space and was extremely sharp.
"Those are the Demonic Rhino Clan. I never expected that they would come as well. That clan specializes in the cultivation of their physical bodies and their strength can even pull mountains out. The moment they fight with others, they would be like mad demons that are extremely hard to deal with." Jiu You looked over and said.
Mu Chen gently nodded his head. Even from some distance away, he could still sense the powerful physical bodies of the four silhouettes. They could practically shatter mountains with a wave of their hands.
Amongst the four of them, the one leading the group was the most shocking.
"The one leading should be the genius of the Demonic Rhino Clan, Han Shan." Jiu You swept a glance at the black-armoured silhouette and said in a low voice, "That person has also stepped into the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm. With the strength of his physical body, his fighting strength is not to be underestimated."
As she spoke, Jiu You's face was a little grave. She knew that even if she gave it her all, she would only be able to fight on par with Han Shan.
Mu Chen's eyes slightly narrowed. Han Shan was truly a formidable figure.
"The ones in the west should be the Fire Crane Clan, right? There's also the Dragon Ape Clan and the Sky-Devouring Crocodile Clan over there. What a spectacular sight." Mo Feng swept his gaze around and his gaze grew even more grave.
When Mu Chen heard the clans that Mo Feng mentioned, his brows couldn't help twitching. Those were all Spiritual Beast Clans with decent fame in the Great Thousand World.
He never expected that all of them would be gathered here.
It looked like a fierce battle was unavoidable if they wanted to obtain the opportunity in the Primordial Body Refining Pagoda.
Just as Mu Chen sighed, his heart suddenly jolted. He sensed an overbearing and sharp gaze suddenly shooting over, enveloping the four of them.
Mu Chen, Jiu You.
Mo Feng and Mo Ling had sensed something as they raised their heads and saw five silhouettes standing on the ruins of a building in the distance.
Liu Qing's group of three, who they had a quarrel with earlier, were also amongst them.
Evidently.
The five of them were from the Sky Roc Clan.
If that's the case, then the one leading should be the genius of the Sky Roc Clan that Liu Qing had previously mentioned, Zong Teng, right?
Thinking about it, Mu Chen turned his gaze over and saw a black-clothed man standing with his hands behind his back before Liu Qing.
His physique wasn't robust, and it even looked a little frail. But under his indifferent expression, there was an unconcealable overbearing aura emanating from him that caused many experts to pay attention to him.
Thereafter, all of them had fear on their faces.
Staring at Zong Teng, Mu Chen squinted his eyes.
He had sensed a dangerous aura from the latter. That person wasn't any weaker than Han Shan of the Demonic Rhino Clan.
Zong Teng's gaze was directed over and his voice faintly resounded, "I was in seclusion when my Sky Roc Clan competed with your Jiu You Sparrow Clan, which allowed your Jiu You Sparrow Clan to gain the upper hand. But it doesn't matter. If there's an opportunity, I will personally seek guidance from you and see if your Jiu You Sparrow Clan has the ability."
Hearing his words, Jiu You's gaze turned cold as she coldly said, "I'll accompany you then."
Zong Teng coldly snorted and did not speak further. He had lightly closed his eyes and looked at Jiu You and Mo Feng. As for Mu Chen and Mo Ling, they were naturally neglected by him.
Behind Zong Teng, Liu Qing looked at Mu Chen's party with a complacent expression. She must have felt that Jiu You Sparrow Clan would face a great disaster this time.
"Looks like there will definitely be a fierce battle in this Primordial Body Refining Pagoda." Jiu You had also retracted her gaze as she swept a glance around and slowly said.
Not to mention Zong Teng, even the geniuses of the other Spiritual Beast Clans were extremely powerful competitors.
Mu Chen lightly nodded his head. Although there were so many experts gathered here, he wasn't fearful in the slightest. His cultivation might only be at the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm, but if anyone dared to underestimate him, then no one would be able to bear the consequences.
Even if those people were geniuses, he, Mu Chen, wasn't afraid.
Mu Chen retracted his gaze. He knew that although there were so many experts gathered here, they were all minding their own business. But the moment the Primordial Body Refining Pagoda opens, the experts here would probably bare their fangs.
At that time, there would definitely be a storm of blood.
Mu Chen's eyelids drooped as he closed his eyes and started to wait.
Time swiftly passed as he waited. In the blink of an eye, nearly half a day had passed. As time passed, more Spiritual Beast Clans started to make their way over. In an instant, this region was filled with silhouettes. But even if there weren't many people here, this place was still silent. However, anyone could sense a stench of blood gradually brewing.
Time gradually passed and, at a certain moment, a strand of sunlight shot down from the horizon. The sunlight was like flames as it whistled down and landed on the peak of the mottled stone pagoda.
It was also at this instant that the experts of the various Spiritual Beast Clans had powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations around them that soared into the sky.
Mu Chen's tightly shut eyes had also abruptly opened at this moment with a sharp light surging in his black pupils.
The Primordial Body Refining Pagoda had finally opened!
