The Ancient Boulder

When everyone gathered in the square, Dou Hua took a step forward with his right foot. Carrying the Taotie of the Central Palace, he walked step by step until he finally arrived in front of the square.

Dou Hua looked down at the people in the square and formed a seal with his hands. Invisible ripples appeared between his hands and spread out in all directions.

"The Ancient Boulder!"

Dou Hua pointed to the sky with his right hand. Immediately, the invisible ripples turned into an invisible hurricane and swept across the sky. In an instant, wind and clouds gathered in the sky and thunder rumbled.

Swoosh!

Soon after, a terrifying sonic boom tore through the void and suddenly descended. Everywhere it passed, countless amounts of space collapsed, and layers of strange air waves spread out in all directions.

Rumble!

The speed of this black figure was too fast. In the blink of an eye, it landed on the square. Immediately, everyone felt an extremely intense vibration being emitted from the square. The entire land appeared to be wiggling. After which, a ring-shaped air wave followed and charged over in layers.

Zhuo Wen narrowed his eyes and waved his sleeve. His surging Celestial Core Power formed a light barrier in front of him, blocking the terrifying wave of air outside of him.

The surrounding people also started to put up their defenses one after another, blocking this wild air wave that was roaring towards them.

When the air waves gradually subsided, everyone discovered that in the center of the square, there was a huge pit, and in the center of the huge pit, there was a huge rock that was hundreds of meters tall standing there silently.

The rock was oval-shaped and its surface was dark. It was full of bumps and hollows, like a meteorite that fell from the sky.

"This is the Ancient Boulder, a meteorite that suppresses the Primordial Battlefield. It possesses unparalleled and terrifying power. Only by carving your name on this Ancient Boulder will you be qualified to enter the Primordial Battlefield."

"In this Divine War, 44 Chaos War Gods will be conferred. Only by obtaining the Chaos War God will you be qualified to carve your name on the Ancient Boulder."

Dou Hua's eyes were calm, but his voice was like thunder that exploded in everyone's ears.

His words immediately caused a commotion. Many cultivators in the square stared at the ancient boulder with fervent gazes. They knew that the ancient boulder was the key to entering the ancient battlefield.

"The Divinity Battle is divided into three stages: Two Daos and one Entering the Primordial Era. These three stages are the Heaven, Earth, and Profound Stages. The first stage is the Profound Stage!"

As he spoke, Dou Hua flicked his finger. Immediately, an extremely hot white glow shot out from his finger and floated in the air.

Then, the white light began to wriggle and turned into a celestial pool that was tens of thousands of feet wide.

Inside the Celestial Pond, the Celestial Spring gushed out, and Celestial mist lingered around it. An extremely surging Celestial Qi spread out like mist, and it looked extremely magnificent.

When they sensed the dense Celestial Qi in the Celestial Pool, many warriors below were excited. The Celestial Qi in the Celestial Pool was even denser than in the inner hall of the Chaos Temple.

There was no doubt that if they could soak in the Celestial Pool, it would bring unimaginable benefits to their cultivation.

The moment the Celestial Pool was formed, a long flight of stairs appeared below the Celestial Pool. The stairs led up to the edge of the Celestial Pool.

"The Profound Stage is to ascend the stairs and reach the Celestial Pool. It will prove whether you are qualified to enter the Celestial Pool!" Dou Hua said calmly. "Chen Xu, you will be in charge of the Profound Stage!"

A green light shot out from the sky and reached the edge of the Celestial Pool in an instant. The light faded away, revealing a middle-aged man in a green robe.

The middle-aged man looked arrogant. He cupped his hands respectfully at Dou Hua and said in a deep voice, "Greetings, Divine Master!"

Dou Hua nodded. Then, Chen Xu turned his head and looked down indifferently at the crowd below. He said, "I will be in charge of the Profound Stage. I will set all the rules. If there is anyone who disagrees, feel free to speak up. I will teach them how to behave properly."

Chen Xu's words were extremely arrogant and caused quite an uproar in the square. Many cultivators were indignant and stared at Chen Xu angrily.

They were all people who stood at the peak of their respective prefectures. In their prefectures, they were all-powerful and could make countless people tremble with a stomp of their feet.

But now, Chen Xu's arrogant and disdainful attitude made them extremely angry.

The representatives of the various Saint Talisman Clans narrowed their eyes and looked at Chen Xu, who was standing proudly at the edge of the Celestial Pool. Obviously, they were unhappy with Chen Xu's attitude.

Chen Xu naturally saw the unfriendly gazes of the people below, but he ignored them. The corners of his mouth were full of a sneer. However, when his gaze fell on Yang Yi, who was lying lazily on the Green Qilin above Zhuo Wen, his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Brother Yang Yi, when did you become willing to run errands?" Chen Xu said mockingly.

Yang Yi yawned lazily and said, "I just feel that it's too boring to stay in the Divine Temple for too long, so it's not a bad idea to go out and run errands. Otherwise, I'm afraid my brain will be damaged if I stay here for too long. Don't you think so, Brother Chen Xu?"

Chen Xu's eyes narrowed. He stared at Zhuowen with a gloomy face and said coldly, "Brother Yang Yi is really ambitious!"

Speaking till here, Chen Xu did not say anything else, but his gaze faintly shifted towards the group below Yang Yi, especially towards Zhuo Wen, who was standing at the front. He gave him an extra glance and said: "Let's start the entrance examination now. Those who wish to enter the Celestial Pool must first pass through the entrance examination. I will select some people to come up and challenge this entrance examination."

Then, Chen Xu pointed at a person in Ji Chenyan's team. This person's cultivation was around the Heaven-defying Saint Realm. Among the eight hundred people, he could only be considered to be in the lower tier.

This person was obviously very nervous. Under Chen Xu's instructions, he came to the stairs and suddenly stepped up.

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderous sound came from the top of the stairs. Then, an extremely powerful and strange white light appeared around the stairs. The white light began to wriggle and formed a huge white shadow.

Zhuo Wen's eyes were like torches as his gaze landed on Chen Xu. Although Chen Xu was standing quietly at the edge of the Celestial Pool with his hands behind his back, Zhuo Wen's sharp Divine Sense could sense a rather powerful force surging out from under Chen Xu's feet.

It was precisely because of the emergence of this power that a strange white light gushed out from the stairs. Furthermore, this white light wriggled to form such a strange white illusory figure.

It could be said that this white shadow was formed under Chen Xu's control. This method was very mysterious and strange.

Not only that, Zhuo Wen could sense a hint of unfriendliness in the eyes of Chen Xu earlier on. And that unfriendliness should be because of Yang Yi. Seemed like there was quite a bit of conflict between Chen Xu and Yang Yi back in the Chaos Shrine.

"Zhuowen, Chen Xu is the number one Messenger of Chaos. Because I accidentally defeated him last time, he holds a grudge against me. I'm afraid that he will be harsh on the warriors in my team. You should be careful."

Just as Zhuo Wen was feeling puzzled, Yang Yi's voice rang out in his Sea of Consciousness. This caused Zhuo Wen to be rather surprised. No wonder Chen Xu and Yang Yi were at odds with each other.

Judging from Chen Xu's aura, he should be at the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm. Yang Yi could easily defeat him, so there was no doubt that Yang Yi had the strength of a Celestial Immortal. However, Zhuowen could not guess which Celestial Immortal Realm he was in.

As soon as the white shadow formed, it rushed toward the man who had stepped up the stairs like a gust of wind.

The man was shocked, but after all, he was not an ordinary person. He let out a low roar and waved his sleeve. He was about to take out a Divine Weapon from his Spiritual Ring to resist the strange white shadow.

However, soon, his eyes were filled with astonishment. He exclaimed, "I can't open the Spiritual Ring. This …"

Boom!

Before the man could recover from his shock, the white shadow's right fist came whistling and hit his face hard. The man was caught off guard. He let out a low roar and clenched his right fist to punch out.

Bang!

The man groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood. He flew backward and hit the ground.

"You want to rely on external objects?

What a piece of trash. Let me tell you, in a Divine Battle, relying on external objects is an extremely stupid act. It is also forbidden. Put away your wishful thinking. Next. "

Chen Xu looked at the man who had been blown away with disdain. He then pointed at another man and asked him to come up.

The second man's face darkened. He took a step forward and climbed up the stairs. He clasped his fist at Chen Xu.

This man's cultivation was slightly higher than the first man. He should have reached the peak of the Heaven-defying Saint Realm. The moment he stepped on the stairs, he mobilized all of his Saint Power and gathered it in his body. He was fully prepared.

Boom!

The white shadow suddenly strode over and punched out, bringing with it countless explosive sounds, crackling and rattling.

The man's eyes were gloomy. He roared and pushed his palms forward. His Saint Power was like water and turned into a towering tree. It appeared in front of the white shadow and blocked the white shadow's punch. Then, he found a gap and dispersed the white shadow.

When Chen Xu saw this, the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.

The man looked excited. He then took a step forward and walked up the stairs.

As this person walked up a flight of stairs, another white illusory figure appeared. Moreover, this white illusory figure's aura was even stronger than before.

The man's face changed slightly. He was caught off guard and was sent flying by the white shadow's punch.

"My Lord, why didn't you explain the rules clearly before?" The man was unconvinced.

Chen Xu looked at the man coldly. He grabbed with his right hand and a terrifying force of imprisonment lingered around the man. Then, the man was thrown out by this invisible force.

"I said that I set the rules. Since you don't have the strength to step on the stairs, you blame me. What qualifications do you have to advance to the next level? Get lost!" Chen Xu said coldly.
