The dark golden light pillar stood between heaven and earth, penetrating the thick clouds. The entire Dragon-Phoenix Platform was dazzling under the illumination of the dark gold light pillar.

Everyone looked blankly at the pillar, which stood out from the rest. As the light shone on their faces, their expressions began to change.

They did not understand the result of Mu Chen’s detection. What did it mean? Did it mean that the Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essence in Mu Chen’s body was so powerful that it was incomparable?

Judging from the previous detections, Fang Yi and the Prince of Netherworld had successfully cultivated the Real Dragon Body, and this had shocked almost everyone. Who would have thought that the result of Mu Chen’s detection was far more daunting?

How did he manage to achieve such a rich intensity of Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essence in his body, and how much did he have?

Not only did many top powers on the ground feel shocked about it, but the top powers on the platform were also looking at each other, feeling bewildered, too.

Fang Yi and the Prince of Netherworld frowned slightly as they stared at Mu Chen, who was standing in the light pillar. Their eyes were flickering while they looked at each other with intertwining gazes before finally looking away.

Su Biyue, Snapper, Ding Xuan, and the rest looked stern, as they sensed strong oppression emanating from Mu Chen.

The expression on Liu Yan’s face darkened. His eyes became somber as the killing desire deeply intensified.

The dark gold light pillar continued to shine under countless gazes before it gradually weakened and disappeared completely into Mu Chen’s body.

Mu Chen slowly opened his half-closed eyes and took a glance at the quiet Dragon-Phoenix Platform. His brow knitted slightly as his spiritual energy started to circulate again.

The sudden revelation of the Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essence in his body was beyond his expectation. If possible, he would rather not have revealed it at all. It made him everyone’s target since he would be the person with the highest chance of obtaining the Dragon-Phoenix Legacy.

In that case, it would inevitably invite jealousy and hatred from the rest. He could see it already in those wary gazes that were cast on him now, and such wary gazes had been previously directed at Fang Yi and the Prince of Netherworld.

Fortunately, he and Cai Xiao had joined hands, which could stop any top powers from doing anything reckless.

The light beams dissipated, and the platform returned to silence once again. The eyes of the top powers flickered, but none of them took the lead in any action.

Mu Chen lifted his head and took a look at the platforms made from the Phoenix wings. The Dragon-Phoenix Legacy was on the highest point of the platforms. Whoever wanted to obtain it would need to climb to the top.

And whoever reached the top would have a greater chance of obtaining the legacy. Right now, none of them dared to break the current stalemate situation, lest they attract hostility from others.

However, Mu Chen knew that this stalemate would not last for very long.

The first person who budged was Fang Yi, who was a fearsome person ranked number one in the Dragon-Phoenix Record. His eyes swept across Mu Chen and Cai Xiao. He smiled and said, “Since no one wants to take the lead, let me be the first then.”

He was a daring person with formidable skills. Apparently, he did not care if anyone was bold enough to fight with him. Without waiting for an answer, he stamped his foot and rose from the ground as his body floated in mid-air.

Boom!

While Fang Yi made his move, the Prince of Netherworld beamed into a light that flashed like lightning across the sky as he quickly flitted across the platforms.

Bang! Bang!

The peaceful situation on the platform was instantly stirred as both of them made their moves. All the spiritual energy surrounding the bodies of the top powers started to fluctuate profusely. The platforms shook as the figures rushed towards the sky.

Mu Chen and Cai Xiao looked at each other before they beamed out, too.

Countless gazes were watching the various beams of light excitedly because they knew the long-awaited battle on the Dragon-Phoenix Platform was finally unfolding.

But they were unable to anticipate who would ascend to the top of the platform. Nonetheless, a significant change was going to be made to the Dragon-Phoenix Record in the North Territory.

Shua!

Mu Chen maximized his speed as he overtook each level of the platforms. As he looked up, he used his spiritual energy to send a message to Cai Xiao. The higher you go, the fewer platforms there will be. The platforms are the only way to get to the top. By then we should occupy one each.

From the information Mu Chen had, the base levels had enough platforms to accommodate all of them. Therefore, it was easy to make their way through without the need to fight. But as one got closer to the top, the number of platforms decreased drastically. At that point, there were fewer platforms and eventually, a battle would have to break out for them.

Cai Xiao nodded and said, “Be careful then!”

Shoo! Shoo!

Close to 100 beams of light flitted towards the sky like comets. They passed the golden platforms without stopping. The scene was quite spectacular, yet the rest of the people who stood between the heaven and earth gradually clenched their fists, as they could sense the aggressive spiritual energy circulating in the dark around the figures.

Suddenly, someone from the crowd exclaimed, “The number of platforms has decreased!” and countless people looked up. High above the sky, the platforms that were once abundant in number had reduced significantly. There was obviously an insufficient amount of platforms for all of them to advance to the next level.
