The Great Ruler

Chapter 795 - Ascending Stage

Buzz!

A dazzling and massive stone platform that looked to be forged from gold slowly appeared from that distorted space. It was so huge that the end of it could not be seen.

The upper level of the Dragon-Phoenix Stage was covered in dense layers of clouds, only a vague golden lustre could be seen. But the pressure that descended from the sky instantly made countless experts here feel suffocating,

The pressure that was descending from the Dragon-Phoenix Stage was too powerful.

But even if the pressure was powerful, many experts still looked at the Dragon-Phoenix Stage floating above the heavens with heated gazes as greed filled in their eyes. The rumoured inheritance of the True Dragon and Phoenix was located at the summit of the Dragon-Phoenix Stage, a temptation that could drive any Sovereign expert insane.

"This is the Dragon-Phoenix Stage?"

Mu Chen raised his head as well, staring at the ancient stone stage. He could feel the blood in his body accelerating, as if something was beckoning him. It was a feeling telling him that something at the summit of the Dragon-Phoenix Stage could make him even more perfect than he was now.

"The Dragon-Phoenix Stage finally appeared!"

The silence in this region lasted for a while, before excitement burst out. Thereafter, sonic booms abruptly resounded as the light figures continuously flew towards the Dragon-Phoenix Stage that was floating above the heavens.

Amongst those people, many had not obtained the Blood Essences of the True Dragon and Phoenix, but still, harboured the thoughts of luck in their hearts. After all, the Dragon-Phoenix Stage was just before them. Regardless of anything, they had to give it a try.

Mu Chen and the rest looked at that large-scale streaming of experts with a calm expression and did not move, allowing them to fly towards the Dragon-Phoenix Stage.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Wind whistling sounds rang out in the sky as the light figures nearly covered the horizon. It was so much so that even the golden light from the Dragon-Phoenix Stage was covered by the multitude of people, it was an extremely spectacular scene.

The speed of those light figures was extremely fast, since they were close to the Dragon-Phoenix Stage in more than ten breaths' time. However, when they were a thousand feet away from the Dragon-Phoenix Stage, a golden light suddenly swept out from the Dragon-Phoenix Stage.

The golden light seemed to contain a bright draconic roar and phoenix cry.

Boom! Boom!

Countless experts were instantly sent flying back by the golden light. In an instant, everyone spurted blood from their mouths as they became similar to birds with broken wings, falling from the sky.

Boom!

Deep craters were created as those figures fell onto the ground. It was fine for those with powerful cultivations, but those that had never refined their bodies would probably be bleeding from their five viscera and six bowels.

Along with the first sweep, the sky instantly became empty. However, not everyone was swept out as there were over ten figures that soared up the sky along the golden light. Vaguely, there was a light of a dragon and phoenix on the surface of their bodies. Evidently, they were those that had refined Blood Essences of the True Dragon and Phoenix, thus able to bear the sweeping golden light.

"Let's go as well!"

Mu Chen said to Cai Xiao at the sight of this, before his figure soared into the horizon, turning into a streak of light as he made his way towards the Dragon-Phoenix Stage.

When Mu Chen and Cai Xiao moved out, Fang Yi, the Netherworld Prince, Su Biyue and the rest had also burst out from their peaks and swiftly made their way towards the Dragon-Phoenix Stage.

The ground was covered with grieving howls. Countless experts watched as those people moved out and could only bitterly sigh. It looked like they were, indeed, not qualified to dip their fingers in the Dragon-Phoenix Stage. However, what made them feel comfort was the fact that there would be a brutal battle taking place on the Dragon-Phoenix Stage.

It would be a contest between the pinnacles of the Northern Region's young generation elites!

Whoosh!

Mu Chen charged towards the Dragon-Phoenix Stage. As the golden light spread out, there was a heavy pressure that enveloped him. In this place, even the air seemed to stagnate into shapeless walls.

However, that pressure did not pose any obstructions to Mu Chen. A faint light blossomed on the surface of his body and that stagnation feeling disappeared. His speed was no longer hindered; on the contrary, he was like a fish in the water. His speed burst in acceleration as he ascended the ancient and majestic Dragon-Phoenix Stage in a flash.

Mu Chen landed on the stone stage as a sensation of sturdiness and coldness came from the floor. He swept his gaze around and saw the ground that looked to be forged from golden dragon scales. It was sturdy and indestructible.

Raising his sight, there were massive golden wings unfolded above this massive stone stage. Every layer of golden wings was a layer of stone stage that stretched upwards and disappeared into the dense clouds.

Rustle!

Light flickered on this Dragon-Phoenix Stage as multiple figures appeared in flashes. However, those that had appeared on this Dragon-Phoenix Stage all maintained their distance with each other with caution, being alert of one another.

Cai Xiao appeared beside Mu Chen, her cold pupils were solely fixed on Fang Yi. Clearly, that missy was intending to target Fang Yi.

Fang Yi had also clearly noticed Cai Xiao's gaze. Although there wasn't a change in his expression, his eyes slightly narrowed. Cai Xiao's mysteriousness made even him feel somewhat fearful, thus being targeted by her was clearly an extremely troublesome matter.

There were approximately a dozen experts that appeared on the Dragon-Phoenix Stage, every single one of them had powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations around them. Aside from a few, most of them were actually Fourth Grade Sovereigns!

All these people were the true elites amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region.

With the appearance of these people, the massive Dragon-Phoenix Stage fell into silence. No one spoke anything, but they could sense the undercurrent flowing in the atmosphere.

Mu Chen maintained a calm expression on his face. Although this place had gathered the elites and every single one of them wasn't easy to deal with, he didn't fear anyone here if he joined hands with Cai Xiao.

After witnessing Cai Xiao's strength, there shouldn't be many blind fellows that would dare to act towards them.

The silence continued on this Dragon-Phoenix Stage for roughly a few minutes, before a golden light blossomed on this Golden-Phoenix Stage. Some dragon scales appeared on the surface of the stage, forming into a huge golden mirror.

And everyone was standing on this golden mirror.

The golden light flowed like liquid on the surface of the golden mirror, before gathering beneath everyone's feet. As golden light flowed over, it covered everyone's feet. In that instant, when their feets were covered, everyone could sense a formless undulation sweeping within their bodies.

Buzz!

As the golden light flowed, everyone started to have different levels of golden light emitting from the surface of their bodies in the next moment. Those golden lights were accompanied with draconic roars and phoenix cries.

"It's a Blood Essence Verification!" Everyone understood what was going on. This Dragon-Phoenix Stage seemed to be reading the density of the True Dragon and Phoenix's Blood Essences in their bodies. And the density of their Blood Essences would also most likely link to the chances of them obtaining the inheritance of the True Dragon and Phoenix.

Thus, everyone was nervous as they looked at the golden light being emitted from their bodies.

Boom!

Just as everyone was nervously looking at the golden lights on their bodies and inwardly pondering, a golden pillar of light that was roughly the size of ten feet abruptly soared up into the horizon. That golden light had exceeded everyone else.

Everyone immediately directed their gazes over. In the golden light, the sturdy and tall Ding Xuan laughed out, his laughter was as resonant as thunder. Clearly, the True Dragon Blood Essence that he had refined was fairly strong.

Boom!

Just when he laughed out, another golden pillar of light of the same size soared along with a draconic roar ringing out. In the golden light, Liu Yan had his indifferent gaze fixed on Mu Chen.

On the Dragon-Phoenix Stage, the faces of many experts changed. Judging from this look, Liu Yan and Ding Xuan had exceeded them.

"Liii!"

Two clear and resonant phoenix cries rang out at the same time. Su Biyue and Hong Yu were enveloped in golden lights with phoenix wings stretching out. Judging from the strength of them, they would only be stronger and not weaker than Liu Yan and Ding Xuan.

They had formed the Ersatz Phoenix Physiques.

Rustle!

Countless gazes were directed at Fang Yi and the Netherworld Prince at the same time as they saw the golden lights gathering beneath their feet. It was a rather shocking scene as the sizes were nearly a hundred feet!

Boom!

The golden lights surged and in the next instant, two massive golden pillars of light soared into the sky. The golden pillars of light with the thickness of a hundred feet had instantly caused the faces of all the elites here to turn ugly.

"Judging from the fluctuations, those two fellows have probably formed the True Dragon Physiques!" Some experts unwillingly said. It looked like this Dragon-Phoenix Stage would probably be solely occupied by Fang Yi and the Netherworld Prince.

"Something's not right, why hasn't Mu Chen been read?!"

Suddenly, someone took notice of Mu Chen. That's because there wasn't any golden light appearing beneath his feet from this Dragon-Phoenix Stage, which made everyone somewhat stunned. Could it be that he had never refined the Blood Essences of the True Dragon and Phoenix? But how did he manage to ascend the stage then?

Under many doubtful voices, there wasn't any ripples on Mu Chen's face as he lowered his head and looked at the golden liquid beneath his feet. He could sense that there was a ripple spreading out in his body. Sensing the ripples, the blood in his body seemed to show vague signs of boiling.

However, that boiling constantly increased until it abruptly reached the peak.

Mu Chen slowly shut his eyes as he spread out his hands at that moment.

A pillar of light soared into the horizon. Although this pillar was a hundred feet in size, it was dark-gold in colour, as if there was an endless pressure flowing from it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just when the dark-gold pillar of light soared from Mu Chen's body, the pillars of light that came from the others suddenly exploded and turned into sparkles of drifting golden light.

Only the dark-gold pillar of light that appeared from Mu Chen remained on the entire Dragon-Phoenix Stage and it was still brilliant in this region.

It was a scene like the subjects having met the king, bowing in defeat. That golden pillar of light was using this manner to reveal the distance they had between Mu Chen's dark-gold pillar of light.

At this instant, everyone's faces changed.
