As the red-robed man's figure fled from the Reception Platform in a battered state, a wave of astonishment spread across the surrounding area.
Many powerful figures from various clans gazed at Mo Yu with flickering eyes, evidently surprised. They had not expected this seemingly mere Sixth Grade Supreme human to be such a formidable opponent.
In the Red Python Clan's area, Ran Qing and the others looked grim as they watched their companion being defeated by Mo Yu. Their eyes were filled with disbelief and despair.
Who could have predicted that what seemed like a sure victory would be overturned in an instant…
"This brat has an incredibly strong Divine Beast Physique! Even the top prodigies of the Heaven-Shaking Force Ape Clan might not be much stronger than him!"
A Red Python Clan expert gritted his teeth, his gaze toward Mo Yu filled with a trace of fear. With such a powerful Divine Beast Physique, defeating a Seventh Grade Supreme was not surprising at all.
Ran Qing clenched her delicate fists, biting her silver teeth tightly. Her complexion alternated between pale and flushed, unable to utter a single word.
As countless astonished gazes converged upon the Reception Platform, Mo Yu remained calm. With a mere thought, the black radiance and terrifying power surging around his arms gradually faded, and his elongated Heaven-Shaking Force Arms returned to their normal state.
Sensing the power of the Heaven-Shaking Force Arms, Mo Yu smiled slightly, then shifted his gaze toward the surrounding experts who were eyeing him with hostility.
"Everyone, I'm claiming this Reception Platform. Any objections?"
The various experts hesitated, their eyes flickering, but ultimately, they withdrew their gazes.
With twenty Reception Platforms in total, there was no need to waste effort on such a tough opponent. Rather than risking a battle with Mo Yu, it was wiser to seize another platform that had yet to be claimed.
Seeing this, Mo Yu smiled faintly. It seemed that no one else dared to challenge his claim.
At last, he had secured a spot for the Primordial Body Refining Pagoda.
With that settled, he finally had the leisure to observe the other Reception Platforms, where intense battles were still raging. As spiritual energy erupted wildly, divine beast phantoms of various shapes emerged, their roars shaking the heavens.
His gaze first turned to Cai Lin's Reception Platform, and the moment he looked over, his eyes narrowed.
Cai Lin's opponent was a strikingly beautiful woman. Behind her, a pair of fiery red wings unfurled, and countless beams of light feathers whistled around her, sweeping out sword energy so sharp that it tore space apart.
She was a top prodigy from the Flame Crane Clan, and her strength had reached the Seventh Grade Supreme. The sharpness of her sword energy surpassed even that of the red-robed man Mo Yu had faced, making her an even more formidable foe.
However, despite the fierce attacks, Cai Lin remained cold and indifferent, her figure retreating step by step as if she were being completely suppressed.
Yet, seeing this, Mo Yu's lips curled into a knowing smile. With his understanding of Cai Lin, she was undoubtedly preparing a deadly counterattack.
Boom!
On the battlefield, Cai Lin's retreat finally brought her to the edge of the Reception Platform. At that moment, she stopped, her cold gaze locking onto the Flame Crane prodigy. Then, with a single-handed seal, a nine-colored pillar of light erupted from her body.
Bang!
The massive nine-colored pillar of light shot into the sky, its dazzling radiance painting the world in vibrant hues.
"This is…"
The sudden change left many observers shocked and confused, unable to comprehend the origin of this nine-colored light.
Within the soaring radiance, the shadow of a nine-colored giant python loomed, emanating an indescribably powerful pressure.
The Flame Crane woman's expression changed drastically as she shrieked, "The Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python!?"
As a supreme divine beast, its bloodline far surpassed that of ordinary spirit beasts, explaining the woman's immense shock.
Boom!
The python's massive tail lashed out, clashing with the incoming sharp sword feathers. In an instant, the sword feathers shattered, and the tail, relentless as a shadow, whipped toward the Flame Crane woman.
Her face paled, and without hesitation, she retreated. In just a few flashes, she had already withdrawn from the Reception Platform. She cast Cai Lin a resentful glare before swiftly departing.
The woman was decisive. She knew that with the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's manifestation, Cai Lin had already secured an invincible stance in their battle. There was no chance of victory. Dragging out the fight would only be a waste of time.
Cai Lin watched as her opponent retreated, her coldly elegant face remaining indifferent. With a flick of her sleeve, the nine-colored light pillar surged back and was swiftly devoured by her.
Many of the surrounding experts who had originally considered challenging Cai Lin now hesitated, their expressions filled with wariness and doubt.
The name "Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python" alone carried an intimidating weight.
"Heh, it seems Cai Lin is quite powerful as well…"
Seeing this, Mo Yu chuckled. Back in the Dou Qi Continent, Cai Lin had been a peak powerhouse, and even in the Great Thousand World, she continued to shine.
Sensing Mo Yu's gaze, Cai Lin smiled faintly. Seeing such a cold and noble beauty reveal such an expression toward Mo Yu caused many male spirit beasts in the area to burn with jealousy.
Boom!
As both Mo Yu and Cai Lin secured their Reception Platforms, other platforms gradually reached their conclusions. Among them, the most eye-catching battle was that of Han Yue from the Rhino Demon Clan.
His opponent was Xu Lie from the Demonic Elephant Clan, a fearsome powerhouse in his own right. Both were beings of immense brute strength, making their clash resemble an ancient battle between a savage rhinoceros and a colossal elephant. Each impact shook the earth.
After exchanging hundreds of blows, it was clear that Han Yue held the upper hand. In the final clash, he forcefully sent Xu Lie flying off the Reception Platform.
After landing, Xu Lie's face was slightly pale, but he didn't waste any words. Instead, he immediately turned and rushed toward another Reception Platform. The opponent there was clearly much easier to deal with than Han Yue.
Following Han Yue, the next to claim a Reception Platform was Ran Ben of the Red Python Clan. His strength was indeed extraordinary, making him one of the strongest here.
After a brief exchange, Mang Lie took the initiative to retreat and search for another Reception Platform. After some effort, he too secured one.
As for Mang Yu, due to her insufficient strength, she repeatedly failed in her attempts to challenge different Reception Platforms. However, being a lively and cheerful person, she quickly adjusted her mood and stood below the platforms, cheering for Mo Yu and the others.
Even though Mang Yu had failed, the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan had still managed to claim three Reception Platforms, making them the dominant force among all the spirit beast clans.
As time passed, the intense battles on the other Reception Platforms gradually came to an end.
Among the final victors were:
Lu Zhou, a prodigy from the Devouring Crocodile Clan.
Chen Dou, a genius of the Dragon Ape Clan.
Xu Lie, the Demonic Elephant Clan member who had previously suffered a slight defeat against Han Yue.
Mo Yu's gaze swept across them before suddenly pausing at the last Reception Platform. His eyes narrowed slightly.
Because the one who had claimed that platform was actually someone familiar—none other than the black-robed man from the Thunder Serpent Clan whom he had encountered in the meteorite belt.
He hadn't expected these people to show up here as well and even secure a Reception Platform.
As Mo Yu looked over, the black-robed man of the Thunder Serpent Clan also sensed his gaze and lifted his head. When he saw Mo Yu, his brows furrowed slightly. The power of Mo Yu's Heaven-Shaking Arm earlier had been so formidable that even he felt apprehensive.
Mo Yu didn't bother paying him any more attention and withdrew his gaze. At this moment, after fierce battles, the twenty Reception Platforms finally stabilized, and those who remained could all be considered the top elites present.
At the same time, the turbulent spiritual energy storms in this space gradually subsided. On each of the twenty platforms, a figure stood tall, their auras fierce and overwhelming—each one an extraordinary existence.
Boom!
Just as the spiritual energy storm calmed, a deep and ancient humming sound suddenly echoed from within the Primordial Body Refining Pagoda.
Then, under everyone's astonished gazes, the surface of the ancient pagoda began to glow, sending out twenty beams of light. These beams shot out like arrows, accurately enveloping the twenty individuals standing on the Reception Platforms.
As the light beams descended, Mo Yu immediately felt a powerful suction force trying to pull him away. His eyes flickered slightly before he chose not to resist.
Whoosh!
The beams of light swiftly retracted, pulling the chosen figures back toward the pagoda. Under countless envious and fiery gazes, they were all sucked into the depths of the ancient Body Refining Pagoda.
Mo Yu was wrapped in the radiant light, rushing through the terrifying tides of spiritual energy. After only a few dozen breaths, he suddenly felt his body tremble. Spatial fluctuations surged around him, and the scenery before him changed drastically…
The surrounding darkness receded like a tide, revealing an endless expanse of red-yellow desert. There was no wind in the desert—only a lifeless, deathly silence.
Mo Yu scanned his surroundings cautiously and discovered that he was standing atop an ancient stone platform. The platform radiated spiritual light, forming a protective barrier around him.
"So, this is the inside of the Primordial Body Refining Pagoda?"
Mo Yu muttered to himself before suddenly sensing something. He raised his head, and his pupils slightly contracted.
High above the boundless desert, a dark red sun floated in the sky. It burned like a massive fireball, casting an unbearably scorching light, as if it could set the land ablaze.
At the same time, in the distant horizon, several other stone platforms gradually appeared, with figures emerging from them—it was the other nineteen people who had also earned the right to enter the Ancient Body Refining Pagoda.
Buzz! Buzz!
As all twenty individuals took their places, the protective light barrier around each stone platform suddenly trembled. Then, beams of glowing text condensed in front of them, forming ancient characters.
"The Primordial Body Refining Pagoda has five levels. There are no rules inside the pagoda. Anyone who reaches the fifth level will obtain a divine ability…"
Seeing this, Mo Yu was momentarily stunned before a fiery light flickered in his eyes.
If he could obtain a body refining divine ability, it would be an immense gain.
The glowing text lingered for a moment before gradually dissipating. As it vanished, Mo Yu also sensed that the protective barrier around his stone platform was beginning to dim and was on the verge of breaking.
Boom!
The moment the barrier disappeared, the scorching sunlight poured down instantly. A terrifying heat engulfed the area.
Under the unbearable high temperature, Mo Yu's clothing was immediately reduced to ashes, and even the spiritual energy surrounding his body began to evaporate at a visible rate.
The dreadful heat seeped into his body, making his skin turn red. His blood seemed to be boiling, as if his entire being was about to be set ablaze.
Yet, faced with this intense heat, Mo Yu's gaze merely flickered. Instead of using any defensive techniques, he stood still on the stone platform.
As his spiritual energy continued to burn away, his body became increasingly heated. The searing pain spread through his flesh and gradually seeped into his very bones.
Body refining…
Since this pagoda was meant for body refining, it naturally required enduring the trials with one's physical body alone. The process was undoubtedly excruciating, but for the body itself, was it not also a form of tempering and polishing?
Mo Yu had entered this Primodial Body Refining Pagoda with a simple goal—to strengthen his physical body. As for the so-called divine ability reward, that was merely a secondary concern.
Since that was the case, there was no need to resist. As long as he could achieve his original purpose, that would be enough.
With this thought in mind, Mo Yu let out a long breath before revealing a faint smile. Then, he retracted all of his spiritual energy and spread his arms wide, allowing his body to be fully exposed to the terrifying crimson light.
In an instant, the overwhelming heat surged forth like molten lava, engulfing him completely.
Not far away, many of the beast clan prodigies had already activated various defensive techniques and artifacts to resist the intense heat. When they saw Mo Yu's actions, their faces immediately revealed looks of disdain.
Among them, Ran Ben and the black-robed man from the Thunder Serpent Clan had even more obvious expressions of mockery in their eyes.
"This guy really thinks he can withstand the red light with just his body? He won't last long before he gets kicked out of the Primordial Body Refining Pagoda."
"Haha! Everyone, let's see who will be the first to reach the fifth level!"
The Rhino Demon Clan's Han Yue suddenly laughed before turning into a streak of ghostly light, shooting into the depths of the desert.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
One after another, the remaining contenders also rushed forward, racing through the desert in an attempt to reach the second level as quickly as possible and ultimately claim the divine ability.
Before long, only Mo Yu, Cai Lin, and Mang Lie remained where they were…
