Roar!
The golden figure roared into the sky. With the blood runes creeping around its body, blood-red radiance gathered in its eyes. Daunting golden fluctuations rippled around it and vibrated the surrounding air. As the terrifying oppression swept out, it was clear that anyone who was under Divine Grade could never challenge its mightiness.
Sensing the oppression from the golden figure, Maha You put on a ruthless expression. In his opinion, the golden figure had been caught off guard previously. Hence, it lost out. With his Divine Runes Amulet circulating in its body, it would trigger all its power, and its combat strength would max out to a terrifying level.
“Although I do not know what exactly that glassy body is, I will definitely thrash you today!” Maha You smiled creepily. With a thought in his mind, the golden figure charged forward with multiple afterimages in the air. No one could tell where the principal body was.
Many experts witnessed this situation outside the Aeon Tower. All of them were feeling uptight, as they knew Maha You possessed killing desire. The current golden figure was already formidable. Unless a true-blue Divine Grade Sovereign was there, no one could subdue it. “This time, Mu Chen has really enraged Maha You…”
However, Mu Chen remained composed, even though everyone was watching him. There was only slight surprise in his eyes as he looked at the golden figure. Apparently, he was also impressed by the oppression exploding out of it. “I wonder how many Immortality Sources this mutant devoured to have this kind of mightiness…”
Mu Chen did not seem to panic at all, even though the golden figure’s oppression was storming in the sky. Instead, he just gave a gentle nod to the figure that was encompassed in the mysterious glassy glow. The glassy glow flickered slightly and slowly stepped out in front of Mu Chen.
Roar!
The golden figure roared again as it punched. Golden current swept out from its ancient rune-covered fist. If anyone got hit by the golden current with the powerful strength of the Immortality Sources, anyone, even someone at the later stage of God Grade Sovereign like Maha You, would either die or immediately sustain a severe injury.
The golden current swept out with imposing force, yet the glass body remained unmoved. When the current was about to hit the body, it stretched out its glass palm and tugged gently. When the golden current containing the destructive fluctuations fell into the glass body’s hand, it turned calm and obedient. The golden current entangled itself around the glass body and gradually shrank. Eventually, it turned into a flash of golden light and was inhaled into the glass body.
“What?!” Maha You’s expression changed immediately. He had never expected that the mysterious glass body could easily counter the golden figure’s terrifying offense. “How can this be possible?!” Maha You gritted his teeth and circulated the golden figure again. In the next moment, a bellow echoed, and countless golden ribbons stormed across the sky like huge golden dragons. They swept towards the glass body in vast numbers.
However, the glass body remained slow and steady despite the domineering attack, because any golden currents that got close to it would turn obedient and get swallowed by it completely. As such, a bizarre situation happened. Regardless of how the golden figure tried to fire off its massive attacks, they would turn into insignificant raindrops whenever they got close to the glass body. Eventually, the offensive dissipated without making any impact.
Mu Chen was smiling, as he was not surprised at all while watching it. The golden figure was, after all, a mutant body. Its energy came from the Immortality Sources stolen from the Primordial Immortal Body. Since the true owner of the Immortality Sources had appeared, using the same energy to deal with the former would only cause its energy to be sucked dry completely.
Roar! Roar!
As the ribbons that contained the Immortality Sources were swallowed up by the Primordial Immortal Body, the glow around the golden figure turned dull. It let out an angry bellow as it sensed the loss of its energy. Its bloodshot eyes stared hard at the Primordial Immortal Body with greed. Even though the latter struck fear into it, the golden figure could evolve into something huge if it devoured the Primordial Immortal Body. After it devoured the body, it could escape from the chaos and turn into a roaming spiritual being.
Shoo!
After it lost out big time earlier on, it did not dare to use the Immortality Sources in its offense anymore. Instead, it inflated its body with a golden ray that circled around it. It became a huge golden giant wielding destructive energy as it moved. The golden giant stomped its feet and appeared before the Primordial Immortal Body like a ghost. It swung its fist with destructive power. A simple fist with domineering power shook the entire universe.
Boom!
As the golden fist almost hit the Primordial Immortal Body, a hand made of glass stretched out and gently blocked the fist.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing was heard when the two made contact and collapsed the surrounding space. However, the most terrifying thing was the unmovable glass body. He stood still like a rock, whereas the shaggy-looking golden figure suffered a huge blow and was hurled thousands of feet away.
Shua!
Before the golden figure could roar after stabilizing itself, the glass body appeared in front of it once again amid the space fluctuations. The glass body launched another slap on the golden figure’s chest.
Bang!
The chest sank in immediately, and the golden figure was sent flying back again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the next count few counts, the golden figure was flying in the sky like a ball being bounced around. With every gentle hit from the glass body, the gigantic body of the golden figure shrank by half its size as compared to before.
Sstz!
Numerous experts were drawing cold breaths outside the Aeon Tower. No one expected that the domineering golden figure would be so useless when confronting this mysterious glass body. This was totally a different level of confrontation!
Qing Yanjing and Budur Xuan watched with their eyes wide open. They looked at each other with shocked expressions. Apparently, they did not expect Mu Chen to have such a trump card.
“What exactly is that glass body?”
Both of them were full of doubt. After all, they were watching it through the spiritual mirror. Even the Divine Grade Sovereigns could not guess from watching it. All the elders from the Maha Ancient Clan were showing mixed expressions on the tall tower.
Before them, Maha Tian had an utterly cold look. He held the white jade pillar in front of him, and the entire pillar started to have tiny cracks on its surface. “Darn, how did this happen? Didn’t Maha You have the Primordial Immortal Body? Why does he look so incompetent?! What exactly is that glass body?!” Coldness remained within Maha Tian’s eyes. At that moment, as reserved as he was, Maha Tian could not help grumbling angrily to himself.
…
Boom!
Another blow sent the golden figure flying. Its body was covered with injuries and palm prints. The palm prints were giving off a glassy glow as though they were eating into the golden figure, diminishing the golden glow on its body.
Roar!
Sensing the change in its body’s condition, the golden figure felt extremely uneasy. The blood ray in its eyes suddenly dispersed, and the golden glow returned.
Sstz.
Maha You suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with surprise and doubt as he sensed the Divine Runes Amulet in the golden figure break at that instant.
Roar!
After breaking away from Maha You’s control, the golden figure’s own instinct was restored. He looked at the Primordial Immortal Body with indescribable fear. It was the fear when facing a true-blue invincible expert. As such, it let out a fearful roar while losing all the courage to confront the Primordial Immortal Body again. It tried to flee.
However, a halo giving off a glassy glow rose gradually behind the head of the Primordial Immortal Body. Eventually, the halo descended from the sky and surrounded the golden figure. As the glassy glow loomed over it, the golden figure let out a despairing cry because its body was quickly melting off as the glow shined above it.
Roar!
The shriek struck across the sky, but the golden figure was unable to put an end to it. Finally, the golden figure quickly shrank into a palm-sized golden elixir within a minute. Mysterious runes were running on the elixir with an unbelievable amount of Immortality Sources. The Primordial Immortal Body inhaled gently, swallowing the golden elixir in one mouthful.
Rumble!
Once the Primordial Immortal Body swallowed the golden elixir, thunder clapped in the universe. Millions of thunderbolts roared like furious dragons in the sky. The glassy glow around the Primordial Immortal Body lit up the entire universe. As the individual beams of glassy glow bent around it, the glassy halo gave off a mysterious mightiness behind its head. Even those experts outside the Aeon Tower could feel the indescribably mysterious vibe emanating from the tower now.
When confronted by such a mightiness, the Divine Grade experts felt the danger, too. Numerous experts stared at that mysterious glowing glass figure. That very instant, something struck them, and they suddenly understood everything. An astounded look surged within their eyes.
So… that mysterious glass body was one of the five Primitive Celestial Bodies in the Great Thousand World – Primordial Immortal Body! The previous golden figure was only a fake!
No wonder the golden figure was helpless against the glass body, as that was the distinct suppression between the real and the fake. Even Qing Yanjing could not help but feel excited. Budur Xuan, on the side, was drawing a cold breath. The glass body that Mu Chen obtained was the true-blue Primordial Immortal Body?!
Maha Tian squeezed the pillar in front of him, and it exploded into dust. His razor-sharp eyes stared at the glowing glass figure. After a while, a voice suppressed with anger and killing intent was heard by the various elders in the Maha Ancient Clan. All of them could not help but quiver. “Pass my order down. The Maha Ancient Clan will prepare for war…”
Maha Tian’s eyes were full of redness as he stared at Mu Chen through the Spiritual Energy Light Mirror. His face looked ruthless and hideous. “You little rascal, how dare you take things from the Maha Ancient Clan? Today, regardless of how the Budur Ancient Clan is going to shield you, I’ll make sure you spit out what’s ours the way you took it!”
