Boom!
Violent spiritual energy fluctuations burst out in the area, while five figures continued to exchange blows. Every time there was an exchange of blows, it would cause the area to quake.
However, it seemed inappropriate to say that they were exchanging blows. Basically, four figures were running about in a sorry state, while the golden figure was chasing after them. It easily countered the attacks that the four figures threw out.
These four figures were Mu Chen, Maha You, Ye Qing and Tuo Ba Cang. They had been struggling with the mysterious golden figure for some time and now had a taste of what it was like to be utterly crushed and degraded! With the golden figure behind their heels, other than trying to escape from it, they had no other means of survival.
Maha You had lost his cool earlier and tried to fight the golden figure, but it had torn one of his arms out of its socket! After this happened, Mu Chen and the rest brushed away the thought of contending with the golden figure, deciding instead to simply run away from it.
Fortunately, the golden figure tore the void apart to obtain the Immortality Source from the Aeon Tower, which gave them the chance to take a short breather. However, they all knew that this would not last for long.
Every time the golden figure obtained the Immortality Source from the Aeon Tower, the fluctuations that it exuded became stronger. Apparently, the golden figure was continually increasing its strength!
Mu Chen and the other three had bitter looks on their faces. Although they could choose to leave the Aeon Tower, they knew that they would lose the chance to get ahold of the Primordial Immortal Body if they did so. Thus, all of them were hesitant to leave.
Roar!
As their minds were in turmoil regarding what to do next, the golden figure, which was behind them, grabbed a huge amount of Immortality Source from the void again as its golden eyes turned dark. The oppression that exuded from its body became so intense that it caused the surrounding space to crack. It was as though it was made of glass!
The golden figure looked up to the sky and roared. It had a chaotic look in its eyes, while its emotionless voice resounded again in the area, “Stay here and merge with this place!”
The killing intent in its voice was so strong that Maha You and the other three ran away quickly from the golden figure when they heard it. This triggered Mu Chen’s thoughts. All this while, he had noticed that every time the golden figure obtained the Immortality Source, it would make a similar roaring sound.
The roaring sound seemed to be directed at them, but Mu Chen had a strange feeling that it was done against its wish. He noticed that the golden figure seemed to be struggling to keep from roaring, but was unable to do so.
“Merge with this place…Is the figure referring to the Aeon Tower?” Mu Chen muttered to as light glittered in his eyes.
Boom!
There was the sound of an explosion behind him as he was thinking about it. When he turned around, he was shocked to see a golden light darting across the horizon.
“Its speed is getting faster!” Mu Chen exclaimed as he flapped the phoenix wings on his back. He then disappeared in the twinkle of an eye and activated his speed to its maximum.
The moment Mu Chen disappeared, a golden palm poked into the chest of his afterimage, and the horrifying spiritual fluctuation immediately destroyed the afterimage.
The golden figure roared angrily when it saw that its attempt had failed. It stopped going after Mu Chen, and with a flash, it appeared behind Tuo Ba Cang, who was the slowest among the group of four.
“Immortal Golden Lotus!” When Tuo Ba Cang noticed that the golden figure was going after him, his face turned pale. After he yelled out, several Immortal God Runes whizzed toward him and formed a huge lotus to protect him within it.
Swish!
This time around, the Immortal Golden Lotus no longer fended off the attack from the golden figure. Its golden palm seemed to possess such a great power that with just a mere poke, the Immortal Golden Lotus was torn apart.
Bang!
The Immortal Golden Lotus exploded, and just as Tuo Ba Cang was about to back away from it, the golden palm stretched out from the void and pressed down on his head!
Tuo Ba Cang was shocked by this, and he immediately shouted, “I’m backing out!”
According to the rules of the Aeon Tower, as long as a participant backed out voluntarily, the Aeon Tower would kick him out of it immediately. Although Tuo Ba Cang was unwilling to do this, he saw that he had no choice at such a critical moment.
After all, this was not the time to get emotional. It was most important for him to keep his life!
After Tuo Ba Cang shouted that he wanted to back out, his body started to loosen up as he waited for the space warp to kick him out. However, at this instant, he saw the golden figure curling up its lips and smiling hideously. The space warp that Tuo Ba Cang was waiting for did not appear!
Tuo Ba Cang’s feet suddenly turned cold, and the coldness soon spread all the way up to his head. At that moment, the spiritual energy almost burst out from his body!
Crack!
As the spiritual energy in his body twirled around, an indescribable violent spiritual energy entered his body. The power was so great that his head exploded in an instant!
Boom! Boom!
As two explosions were heard, Tuo Ba Cang’s body exploded and turned into a lump of Blood Fog. The Immortal Golden Body behind him moaned, then also exploded before instantly turning into purple golden light spots!
The golden figure immediately took in a deep breath and devoured the purple golden light spots. This change of events came so suddenly, and when Mu Chen, Maha You, and Ye Qing saw it, they were dumbfounded. Tuo Ba Cang had been utterly annihilated!
“Why did he not get sent out of the Aeon Tower?” Ye Qing’s face looked ghastly pale. He had heard Tuo Ba Cang shout out that he wanted to back out, but the Aeon Tower did not kick him out!
Maha You’s face looked flustered. As he looked at the golden figure again, his eyes were filled with fear.
“There seems to be a problem with the Aeon Tower,” Mu Chen said softly.
When the golden figure appeared, the situation seemed to get out of hand. It could be due to the interference of the golden figure that the Aeon Tower was unable to kick anyone out of it.
When Maha You and Ye Qing heard what Mu Chen had said, they were shocked. If they were unable to even get kicked out from the Aeon Tower, it meant that they would be trapped in it forever! When the two of remaining in the Aeon Tower forever, they became very depressed.
At this moment, there was an uproar outside the Aeon Tower. The top powers widened their eyes when they saw that the golden figure had killed Tuo Ba Cang, and they immediately became frightened.
After all, Tuo Ba Cang was a master at the later stage of the God Grade Heavenly Sovereign level, but he had been killed right under their noses! When Qing Yanjing saw what had taken place, her expression changed. She had also noticed that the Aeon Tower had failed to let Tuo Ba Cang back out.
She turned to look at Maha Tian and asked, “Is there a problem with the Aeon Tower?”
Maha Tian looked pale and nodded his head. “However, don’t come to me about it, as our Maha Ancient Clan cannot control the Aeon Tower. Thus, I cannot solve its problems.”
As Qing Yanjing clenched her fists, an ominous aura flashed in her eyes. The golden figure was strange and overbearing, and it was apparent that Mu Chen was no match for it. As such, if there was no change in the current situation, Mu Chen would be doomed.
“In that case, let’s destroy the Aeon Tower!” Qing Yanjing said coldly.
“No!” Maha Tian objected to this idea immediately, then said, “If you destroy the Aeon Tower, the Primordial Immortal Body will be affected. Who is going to take responsibility for that?”
“If the Primordial Immortal Body is so easily destroyed, it is not really a Primitive Celestial Body!” Qing Yanjing sneered.
“You mustn’t do it! Our clan has been guarding the Primordial Immortal Body for many thousands of years, and we will continue to ensure its safety!” Maha Tian said coldly, refusing to give in.
“In that case, I will force my way through!” she yelled.
“Ha. You are now at the mercy of our Maha Ancient Clan, as this is not your Budur Ancient Clan’s territory!” Maha Tian retorted.
“We shall see!” she retorted, with her head held high.
As the two Heavenly Sovereigns got into an argument, a horrifying oppression indistinctly exuded from them both. The area suddenly darkened, and many top powers became instantly quiet because they were afraid. If the two Heavenly Sovereigns continued to fight, the surrounding area would be turned into ruins!
…
After the golden figure had devoured Tuo Ba Cang’s Immortal Golden Body, the golden light in its eyes became more dense. It then turned to look at Mu Chen, Maha You, and Ye Qing with a covetous glare.
Boom!
Suddenly, the body of the golden figure shook before it turned into a golden light. It aimed itself at Maha You, who possessed the strongest aura among them, then darted toward him speedily. Apparently, it knew that Maha You’s Immortal Golden Body would bring the greatest benefits to it.
When Maha You saw it, he turned pale and retreated immediately. Since the golden figure had enhanced its speed, no matter where Maha You ran, the distance between him and the golden figure grew smaller and smaller…
In a short while, Maha You could sense a strong force whizzing toward him from behind.
As he looked at the golden figure out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly turned to look at Mu Chen, who was far away and on his right.
Then, an evil look flashed across his eyes as an octagonal compass appeared in his hand. The compass was packed with mysterious runes.
“Eight Stars Spiritual Compass, Change Position Art!” Maha You yelled, while the compass emitted a strange light and covered the golden figure that was in front of him.
When he saw Maha You take out the Compass, Mu Chen became wary and felt uneasy. He wanted to move back and stay far away from him.
Swoosh!
However, just as he was about to retreat, the golden figure, which was initially going after Maha You, disappeared all of a sudden. Mu Chen was shocked to see that the space in front of him had opened up and the golden figure had dashed out of it! At this moment, a pair of emotionless golden eyes were staring at him!
When Mu Chen saw that the golden figure was near him, his heart sank. Maha You had set him up!
