Chapter 1492: The Last Level

The heaven and earth were ancient. The earth was in a ruined state, as if it had experienced an earth-shattering battle. Everywhere one looked, it was barren and torn apart.

A dark red mountain stood quietly on the broken earth and exuded an ancient and immortal aura, giving it a very mysterious feeling. In front of the dark red mountain, there was a tall stone platform. Above the stone platform, there were three shadows. They stood apart from each other, showing mutual vigilance. The three of them were Maha You, Ye Qing, and Tuo Ba Cang. Obviously, they had ended the campaign of elimination long ago and had made it to the last level.

“Well, it seems that the result is exactly what I expected. The people who have arrived are the two of you.” Maha You glanced at them, smiled, and said, “Out of hundreds, only three people are worthy to be my opponents.”

Ye Qing and Tuo Ba Cang both knew that the third person he was talking about should be Shi Luo.

“I’m honored.” Ye Qing grasped a blood-red spear, his laughter indifferent. His eyes were full of murderous intent and held no fear towards Maha You. On the other hand, Tuo Ba Cang stayed silent and was expressionless.

“But Shi Luo hasn’t shown up yet. He must have met with a strong enemy.” Ye Qing saw that the fourth person had yet to appear. His gaze looked surprised.

“It should be that Mu Chen,” Tuo Ba Cang said slowly. Apparently, they knew a lot about Mu Chen and were aware that the person who was ranked behind them had great combat prowess.

“Although Mu Chen is somewhat capable, he’s still lacking and cannot defeat Shi Luo.” Maha You chuckled faintly. He had seen Mu Chen’s battles. Although his fighting prowess was indeed astonishing, it was unlikely that he could defeat Shi Luo.

Although Ye Qing and Tuo Ban Cang were quite guarded against Maha You, they nodded at his words. They were very clear about Shi Luo’s ability, even if they might not be able to defeat him.

While Mu Chen seemed to have endless tricks, he was a middle-stage Spiritual Grade. He shouldn’t be strong enough to defeat Shi Luo, who was at the same rank as they were.

Buzz!

Just as they finished speaking, the space on the pedestal suddenly fluctuated and twisted. Looking at the scene, the trio immediately glanced towards it. As they looked on, a young, slender figure emerged in the distortion of space.

Their glances lingered on the young face, and then, silence descended upon the platform. Maha You’s smile froze as Ye Qing and Tuo Ba Cang’s eyes narrowed, staring at the figure in disbelief.

The man who had appeared was naturally Mu Chen. He looked at the stone platform where the three were. His gaze flickered, and then he backed a safe distance away.

“You defeated Shi Luo?” Maha You frowned, staring at Mu Chen somberly.

“Is it strange?” Mu Chen glanced at him, his expression cold.

“Oh, that’s interesting. It seems I’ve always underestimated you.” There was a touch of playfulness as Maha You smirked, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He did not like it very much when matters were beyond his control.

Mu Chen paid no attention to him. He looked directly at the dark red mountain in front of him, and he could feel an inexplicable attraction when he saw it. The mountain emanated an aura of immortality and mystery, just like the Immortal Golden Body. Looking at it, Mu Chen’s heart jumped. Is the legendary Primordial Immortal Body hidden in this great mountain?

“You are right. The Primordial Immortal Body should be in this mountain.” A calm voice rang out, and Mu Chen saw that it was Ye Qing.

Boom!

The dark red mountain suddenly trembled, and a huge crack began to emerge and slowly spread out, as if it were going to split the mountain. In those cracks, there was an indescribable aura of immortality that surged out. It was true immortality. Even if the world was destroyed, it would still exist.

Behind Mu Chen, Maha You, Ye Qing, and Tuo Ba Cang, purple-gold light glowed as their Immortal Golden Bodies appeared uncontrollably, as if by some kind of strong attraction.

Mu Chen looked heatedly at the shattered mountain, and he could faintly feel that when the mountain burst completely, the Primordial Immortal Body would emerge… However, just as he was filled with longing, he suddenly felt a cold, blade-like gaze upon him. The power in his body immediately flowed, and he cast the same cold gaze on Maha You.

At the same time, he sensed the hostility between them. The Primordial Immortal Body was about to emerge, but eventually, only one person could obtain it. Until then, they will be competitors.

“Gentlemen, you all know that there is only one person who can achieve the Primordial Immortal Body.” The shady luster of Maha You’s eyes flowed like a serpent, and there was a cold, murderous intent in his voice. “So, should we reduce the number of people as much as possible before the Primordial Immortal Body emerges?”

Mu Chen, Ye Qing, and Tuo Ba Cang’s gazes flashed slightly at the same time, and they said, “What do you want to do?”

Maha You stretched out two fingers and smirked cruelly. “Four people divided into two groups. Kick your opponent out.” As he said so, his icy gaze locked onto Mu Chen, clearly regarding him as a target.

Ye Qing frowned and said, “The Aeon Tower has no longer taken the initiative to eliminate people, which means that those who come here are entitled to see the Primordial Immortal Body.”

Maha You glanced down and said with a smile, “The Aeon Tower might think we are all qualified, but I don’t think so.”

On the stone platform, the atmosphere slowly grew tense, and a cold, murderous intention flowed between them. Ye Qing and Tuo Ba Cang looked at Mu Chen, and they were aware that Maha You was picking on him.

Mu Chen’s expression was calm amid the glances. His dark eyes stared at Maha You as he smiled and said, “It seems that you are confident that you can throw me out before the Primordial Immortal Body emerges?”

“If you think you can flaunt defeating Shi Luo by a stroke of luck, maybe you’re too naïve,” Maha You stated nonchalantly.

Mu Chen smiled and nodded. “If you really want, I’ll play with you.”

Maha You smirked coldly. “I’m afraid you’ll play yourself to death’s door.”

Mu Chen smiled casually, and in a flash, he transformed into a beam of light and soared into the sky. Maha You glanced coldly at Mu Chen’s silhouette as he, too, turned into a beam of light and went in hot pursuit of him.

After a moment of silence from Ye Qing, he pointed his blood-red spear slowly towards Tuo Ba Cang and said, “He is right. We can only have one person who can obtain the Primordial Immortal Body in the end, so eliminating people is the most effective way to improve one’s success rate.”

Tuo Ba Cang nodded, holding his shattered broadsword. Pointing it at the ground, his hair billowed in the wind as the aura of the sword erupted, cutting deep marks on the ground. “I have long wanted to experience Brother Ye’s Heavenly Asura Spear, and I hope I will not be disappointed.”

…

“They are fighting again!”

Outside the Aeon Tower, countless sovereigns looked at the remaining two light mirrors. Their gazes were burning, for the four in front of them represented the strongest battles of the Aeon Congress.

Whether it was Maha You, Ye Qing, Tuo Ba Cang, or even Mu Chen, who was the least famous, they had shown shocking power in their duels. Now that the Primordial Immortal Body was emerging, the four of them would engage in the most intense battles.

“D*mn it, Maha You!” Qing Yanjing looked at this scene, her face cold. She could sense Maha You targeting Mu Chen. In order to deal with Shi Luo, Mu Chen’s Mystery Army had obviously suffered a heavy blow, and it would be impossible to summon it again at the present time. Otherwise, Maha You would not dare to act recklessly.

“Don’t be worried.” Budur Xuan looked at the young figure in the light mirror and remarked, “Your son has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. With his cunning, I don’t think he only has one Mystery Dragon Army as his ace card.”

“You’re the one who’s cunning,” Qing Yanjing retorted in exasperation but also regained her calm. Although there was no Mystery Dragon Army, since Mu Chen dared to fight, he should be confident.

On the platform, Maha Tian also looked at the light mirror. Behind him, the elders of the Maha Ancient Clan shook their heads with a smile when they saw the confrontation between Mu Chen and Maha You.

“I don’t know if this Mu Chen is bold or silly. Even if his Mystery Dragon Army was not badly damaged at the moment, he is no match for Maha You.”

Maha Tian said indifferently, “Maha You has done a good job.”

He was deeply approving of Maha You’s desire to take a strong shot before the Primordial Immortal Body emerged. He even thought it was best to kick all three of them out. In that case, the Primordial Immortal Body would have no choice but to choose Maha You.

“Time is a little tight, and I’m afraid there’s still 15 minutes before the Primordial Immortal Body will emerge,” one of the elders said, looking at the dark red mountain reflected in the light mirror that was shattering constantly.

Maha Tian looked at the light mirror where the two figures were tangled in a high-altitude confrontation. He smirked coldly. “Fifteen minutes is enough for Maha You to kick the boy out of Aeon Tower…”
