Chapter 988 (2/2)

“How is it possible? Is he not afraid of the tribulations at the first level if he travels at this speed?”

Screams were everywhere, as the top powers found it unbelievable. They could not imagine that the one whom they thought had given up had suddenly become so courageous…

Liu Qing’s face turned pale as the people shouted. She stared at the light spot that was traveling at great speed and said, “There is no point going at such a fast speed. In the end, you still can’t go past the barrier on the first level!”

Nine Nether and Mo Ling heaved a sigh of relief. It looked like Mu Chen still stood a chance to vie with the other top powers. However, they were baffled as to why he had slowed down earlier like a tortoise. They found it unfathomable…

The top powers outside the Body-refining Tower saw that the light spot that had fallen behind earlier had finally caught up with the other nine light spots.

Zong Teng and the rest trod carefully through the red light barrier with layers of protection on their bodies to shield them from the melting power of the red light.

“Eh?”

Suddenly, they turned their heads around and were shocked to see a shadow flying toward them. Within seconds, the shadow appeared outside the red light barrier.

They were shocked by the shadow’s speed. They were curious who had the audacity to fly at such a fast speed and was not afraid of being burned to ashes under the powerful red light.

“That is…” They were shocked as they looked at the shadow.

The shadow became clearer, and a young man appeared before their eyes.

“It is the human being!”

“Is it Mu Chen?”

Zong Teng was shocked, and his eyes darkened. He found it unbelievable that Mu Chen, who had been far behind them, had caught up with them within such a short period of time. Even Zong Teng could not travel at such a speed!

When Ink Blade saw Mu Chen, he heaved a sigh of relief. Mu Chen always brought about surprises.

“Ha. What is the point of catching up? The red light here is so many times stronger than the one outside. This guy is a human. I think he will melt the moment he steps in.” Someone snorted and thought that it was impossible for Mu Chen to cross the red light barrier. After all, they had used so many layers of protection before they dared to move in slowly.

However, as they snorted, Mu Chen simply smiled outside the red light barrier. He then walked into the red light as the people widened their eyes to look at him.

“He is courting his own death! He did not even activate his spiritual energy. Is he stepping into the red light in this naked form?” Many of the top powers were stunned when they saw Mu Chen’s action, and they waited to see him perish.

Swish! Swish!

Mu Chen stepped into the red light. The temperature was so high that it made one feel suffocated. Smoke rose up, and his skin was burned. His flesh made sizzling sounds as the red light shined on him. It seemed as though he was about to be in flame.

Excruciating pain once again raged out.

Mu Chen’s face twisted, and his mouth quirked up. The red light here was much stronger than the one outside.

However, after he had been roasted under the red light earlier and with the help of the Dragon-Phoenix Body, he was used to the red light. His resistance to the red light had increased tremendously.

He lifted up his head and smiled at the top powers who were mocking him. The real dragon symbol on his chest started to squirm about, and his flesh seemed to have awakened. As his flesh trembled, it started to absorb the power of the red light.

Mu Chen’s body was once again strengthened.

The smoke on his body slowly dissipated, and Mu Chen’s body appeared again before the eyes of the top powers…

Zong Teng, Han Shan, and the others were shocked.

Mu Chen’s body exuded golden light, and his skin was unscathed. As the red light shined on him, not only was he not harmed, but his skin exuded a strange golden light.

The melting effect of the red light did not seem to harm Mu Chen at all.

“How is it possible?”

Everyone who was present murmured in his heart in disbelief.

Mu Chen ignored them and slowly clenched his fists. After glancing at the people who were moving like tortoises, he curled up his lips.

“Gentlemen, it seems like I will have to make a move first.”

Having said that, he stomped his feet and turned into a ray of golden light. With a whoosh, he dashed out and left Zong Teng and the rest of the top powers behind.

The top powers were shocked and still in a daze after they saw that Mu Chen had gone so far.
