As Mo Yu and the others watched Ran Ben, the latter seemed to sense something and cast his gaze over. A faint voice soon followed.
"A few years ago, when my Red Python Clan competed against your Heaven Swallowing Python Clan's younger generation, I happened to be in seclusion, allowing your clan to gain the upper hand.
"But no matter. If there's an opportunity this time, I'll personally challenge you and see if the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan truly has such strength."
Once he finished speaking, without waiting for Cai Lin and the others to respond, Ran Ben simply closed his eyes, ignoring them entirely, his arrogance on full display.
Behind him, Ran Qing looked at Mo Yu and his group with a smug expression, as if certain that disaster would soon befall the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan.
Seeing this, Mang Lie and the others' expressions turned grim. Mo Yu, however, merely smirked coldly before closing his eyes to rest, calmly waiting.
Although Ran Ben was undoubtedly one of the most outstanding talents among the various divine beast clans, Mo Yu felt no fear whatsoever.
Time passed quickly as they waited, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a day had gone by.
At a certain moment, a single ray of sunlight suddenly pierced through the sky, descending like a roaring flame and landing precisely on the peak of the ancient, mottled stone pagoda.
And at that instant, the entire area was enveloped in a surge of powerful spiritual energy from the gathered divine beast experts.
Mo Yu's tightly shut eyes snapped open, his dark pupils gleaming with sharpness.
The Primordial Body Refining Pagoda was finally opening!
As sunlight poured down, the entire ancient stone pagoda seemed to ignite in flames. Layers of radiant halos rippled across its surface, and an overwhelmingly ancient and terrifying aura slowly awakened from within, like a primordial beast stirring from slumber.
This shocking phenomenon lasted only a moment before quickly dissipating, replaced by an atmosphere thick with excitement and joy. This was the unmistakable sign that the Primordial Body Refining Pagoda was about to open.
Boom!
Under countless burning gazes, a deep rumble emerged from within the pagoda. Then, the ground around the stone pagoda began to crack apart.
Moments later, twenty ancient stone platforms slowly rose from beneath the earth.
These platforms were covered in cryptic runes that flickered with a faint glow, and if one looked closely, they could see faint threads of light extending outward, linking the platforms directly to the Primordial Body Refining Pagoda.
As the twenty stone platforms emerged, murmurs of surprise rippled through the crowd. Mang Lie frowned and muttered, "This time, the Primordial Body Refining Pagoda has only revealed twenty Reception Platforms. I heard that last time, there were twenty-five."
Mo Yu's expression became more serious at these words.
The Reception Platforms represented the number of people who could enter the pagoda, with each platform allowing only one individual. In other words, only twenty people would be allowed in this time.
This also meant the competition would be brutal.
The twenty Reception Platforms stood silently around the Primordial Body Refining Pagoda. As they appeared, the eager members of the divine beast clans fell into a brief silence, but beneath that stillness, a chilling atmosphere of tension condensed.
After several minutes of deadlock, a man named Han Yue from the Rhino Demon Clan stepped forward. His fierce gaze swept over the area as his sharp voice rang out.
"If no one wants to make the first move, then allow my Rhino Demon Clan to take the lead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure shot forward like a meteor and landed heavily on one of the Reception Platforms. His domineering gaze swept across the crowd as a violent aura erupted from him, making him resemble an ancient battle rhino.
"This platform belongs to me, Han Yue! If anyone is dissatisfied, step up and fight!" he declared coldly.
Standing with his arms crossed, Han Yue exuded a formidable presence, causing several prodigies around him to hesitate.
However, everyone here was among the most outstanding youths of their respective clans, all brimming with pride. There was no way they would be intimidated so easily.
Thus, just as Han Yue finished speaking, a cold voice rang out.
"Hmph, I've long heard of your arrogance, Han Yue. Today, my Demonic Elephant Clan will test you!"
Boom!
A massive figure descended like a collapsing pagoda, landing heavily on the Reception Platform Han Yue occupied. The ground trembled violently under his weight.
All eyes turned toward the newcomer—an enormous figure cloaked in pitch-black scales, his body adorned with strange glowing patterns that radiated an immense, earth-shaking power.
In his hands was a massive jet-black cudgel, which seemed unimaginably heavy. The moment it touched the ground, cracks appeared in the seemingly indestructible stone beneath.
"It's Xu Lie from the Demonic Elephant Clan! I heard he has reached the Seventh-Grade Supreme level, capable of tearing mountains apart with his bare hands. If these two fight, it'll be an earth-shattering battle!"
His appearance caused an uproar among the crowd, as many immediately recognized him as no ordinary opponent. It was no wonder he dared to challenge Han Yue directly.
"The Demonic Elephant Clan, huh?"
Han Yue narrowed his eyes, his face calm and indifferent. Without wasting words, he suddenly stomped his foot. The ground shattered beneath him, and his overwhelming aura surged skyward. Like a berserk ancient battle rhino, he charged directly at Xu Lie with brutal ferocity.
Xu Lie snorted coldly, showing no fear. His enormous black cudgel swept through the air, shattering the void as it smashed toward Han Yue.
Boom!
A tremendous explosion of spiritual energy erupted from the Reception Platform as the two clashed.
Their battle instantly shattered the stalemate, igniting a fierce scramble. No longer willing to wait, one expert after another unleashed their power, shooting toward the remaining platforms.
Seeing this, Mo Yu and his three companions exchanged glances. In the next moment, all four of them shot forward, each landing on the nearest available Reception Platform.
As soon as Mo Yu stepped onto his platform, his body became eerily motionless under the stunned gazes of the crowd. Even his eyes remained slightly closed, as if he had turned into a statue.
"A mere Sixth-Grade Supreme dares to claim a Reception Platform? He must have a death wish!"
"Wait… is that guy human? How did he even make it into the Divine Beast Origin?"
Mocking voices rose from the crowd, but Mo Yu remained completely indifferent, his eyes still lowered, unmoving.
Not far away, several members of the Red Python Clan, along with the woman named Ran Qing, were also staring at the scene in astonishment. Then, she sneered and said,
"That kid, with merely a Sixth Grade Supreme cultivation, actually dares to think he can hold onto a Reception Platform? Utter foolishness."
Beside her, the man named Ran Ben cast a cold glance at Mo Yu and said indifferently, "I'll handle Mang Lie. As for that human boy, you all take care of him. If we succeed, our Red Python Clan will occupy two seats."
"A mere Sixth Grade is nothing to worry about."
A red-robed man beside him grinned, his eyes flashing with cruelty. A surge of powerful spiritual energy burst from his body, revealing that he, too, had stepped into the Seventh Grade Supreme realm!
Ran Ben nodded before stepping forward, appearing directly on the Reception Platform where Mang Lie stood, clearly intending to push him off.
At the same time, the red-robed man descended onto the Reception Platform where Mo Yu stood, his gaze carrying a mocking amusement, like a cat toying with a mouse.
Crossing his arms, the red-robed man stared at Mo Yu, whose eyes were slightly closed and body remained motionless, with a smirk.
"If you roll off yourself, I can spare your life and only break one of your arms," the red-robed man said with a sidelong glance at Mo Yu.
However, Mo Yu merely stood up slowly, giving him a cold look before the corner of his mouth curled into a faint sneer.
Seeing this, the red-robed man did not get angry. Instead, he chuckled softly and murmured, "Truly a fool courting death."
Boom!
The moment his voice fell, his eyes turned icy, and with a sudden stomp, his figure shot out like a streak of light.
A long spear, blazing with crimson flames, appeared in his grasp. As he thrust it forward, the fiery glow surged, transforming into a massive python that seemed to tear through the sky, its aura fierce and overwhelming, striking toward Mo Yu's forehead with lightning speed.
"Red Python Art—Flame Python Sky-Cracking Spear!"
From the very first strike, the red-robed man unleashed a vicious move, holding nothing back. The oppressive might of a Seventh Grade Supreme spread outward, showcasing his full strength.
Outside the battlefield, Ran Qing's eyes lit up upon seeing this. Even a fellow Seventh Grade Supreme would have to be cautious against this attack—let alone Mo Yu, who was merely at the Sixth Grade. He was undoubtedly dead.
"Hmph!"
But Mo Yu merely let out a cold snort. Under countless astonished gazes, he shot forward, his fists slamming directly against the flaming spear.
Clang!
A deafening metallic crash resounded in the sky. Mo Yu's arms gleamed with a black sheen, and an immense force erupted from his fists, pouring directly into the massive crimson spear.
Under Mo Yu's terrifying strength, which was truly comparable to that of the Heaven-Shaking Force Ape, the crimson spear that had been crashing down with a deafening sonic boom came to an abrupt halt. The overwhelming attack was completely blocked.
"You have some strength, but you're still seeking death!"
The red-robed man was briefly stunned before his expression turned grim. With a thought, his spiritual energy erupted without reservation.
Boom!
Like a volcano, a torrent of spiritual energy exploded from his body, forming shockwaves that raged wildly, causing the very air in the surroundings to detonate.
As the energy surged, a massive python wreathed in crimson flames materialized behind him, its forked tongue flickering as firestorms engulfed the sky.
Rumble!
With a solemn expression, the red-robed man shook his spear, and the flaming python let out a piercing screech, merging entirely with his weapon.
In an instant, the spear was engulfed in raging flames, radiating intense heat that distorted the surrounding space.
"Red Python Kill!"
With a furious roar, the red-robed man stopped hesitating, unleashing his full strength as he thrust his spear forward once more. In the blink of an eye, under countless watching eyes, the flaming spear shot toward Mo Yu again.
Mo Yu's gaze remained calm as he watched the raging storm of spiritual energy. His eyes sharpened slightly before he let out a cold shout.
"Heaven-Shaking Arm—Twist Kill!"
Boom!
As his words fell, the illusory figure of the Heaven-Shaking Force Ape in his Supreme Sea let out a thunderous roar. A surge of immense power coursed through Mo Yu's veins, rapidly flooding into his arms.
As he absorbed the strength of the ape's phantom, Mo Yu's arms swelled dramatically, veins bulging like writhing dragons, radiating a sense of pure, unbridled power. Black spiritual energy coiled around his arms, threading in and out of his pores.
His now-massive arms gleamed with a jet-black luster, exuding an oppressive might. With a mere twitch, even the surrounding space seemed unable to bear the pressure.
This was a portion of the beast transformation Mo Yu could now use after achieving the small success stage of his Divine Beast Physique—transforming his arms into Heaven-Shaking Arms to unleash monstrous power.
Whoosh!
As he punched out, the space before him warped. Air compressed violently, forming a concave arc centered around his fist.
At the forefront of this arc, an enormous air-compression cannonball, spanning hundreds of meters, took shape. With a deafening boom, it shot forth like an artillery shell, carrying the ear-piercing howl of a great ape and an overwhelming force as it clashed with the crimson spear.
Crack!
Under the earth-shattering impact of the Heaven-Shaking Arm, the fiery spear's flames were instantly extinguished, and even the weapon itself began to bend, unable to withstand the force. Cracks spread across its surface!
Sweat poured down the red-robed man's face like a waterfall. His expression twisted in pain before, at last, he released the nearly-shattering spear and retreated in disarray.
Boom!
As he stumbled backward, the crimson spear was utterly obliterated by the Heaven-Shaking Arm's force.
But before the red-robed man could catch his breath, a figure appeared before him in a flash.
With arms resembling those of a colossal ape, Mo Yu swung his Heaven-Shaking Arm once more. Under countless shocked gazes, he unleashed an attack in an unimaginably brutal manner, smashing toward the red-robed man.
"Heaven-Shaking Arm—Ape King Spear!"
His pitch-black, terrifyingly powerful arm pierced through the air like a spear, creating a deafening sonic boom.
With Mo Yu's near-unimaginable strength, the Heaven-Shaking Arm crashed down heavily upon the red-robed man's chest.
Boom!
A violent shockwave erupted.
The red-robed man's figure was instantly sent hurtling through the sky, before he plummeted to the ground, crashing fiercely onto the plains beyond the Reception Platform. His impact gouged a deep trench hundreds of meters long into the earth.
Splurt!
As his body came to a stop outside the platform, he coughed up a mouthful of blood before collapsing, his fate uncertain…
