546: Mu Tianze

After paying the city entry fee, Yang Lingchen finally entered East Saint City.

Gazing at the endless stream of people on the streets, Yang Lingchen felt a surge of emotions. The civilization of Cultivators here in the central region was clearly more prosperous.

This could be seen just from the strength of the ordinary people. The strength of Cultivators in the central region was obviously several levels higher than that in the eastern region.

After entering East Saint City, Yang Lingchen found a luxurious inn and settled in.

Although the cost of living here was high, he currently lacked no resources. After all, he had almost swept clean the resources of the entire Eastern Continent.

Yang Lingchen had another purpose for coming to East Saint City: to challenge the young generation's Geniuses of the east.

Because he knew that to become a transcendent powerhouse of his era, he must inevitably hack through thorns and brambles along the way. Only by defeating all the Genius powerhouses of his generation could his future path stretch further and his cultivation level Breakthrough faster.

Yang Lingchen's goal was very clear: through continuous challenges, he would fully stimulate his innate talent. This way, once he broke through to higher levels, his Combat Power would directly become invincible among those of the same Realm.

It was said that the Geniuses who could enter the Myriad Transformations Ranking and the Dominator Ranking were top-tier existences in both talent and Combat Power within their Realms. This was also the reason Yang Lingchen had come to East Saint City.

Only by sparring with true Geniuses could Yang Lingchen's Combat Power be stimulated.

After understanding the challenge rules of East Saint City, Yang Lingchen headed to the city's Challenge Stage.

The rules of East Saint City's Challenge Stage were not many. Anyone who wanted to challenge could step onto the Arena to initiate a challenge. However, challengers needed to pay a certain challenge fee.

The Challenge Stage at the center of East Saint City was very large, and it was surrounded by powerful protective Formations. Even battles at the Spirit God Realm level would not cause harm to the people below the stage.

But maintaining such powerful Formations required a massive amount of divine origin stones. That's why East Saint City collected challenge fees.

When Yang Lingchen arrived at the city's Challenge Stage, the place was already packed with a bustling crowd. It was surrounded so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. At the same time, people continuously cheered and shouted encouragement for those on the stage.

"Bet on Tang Bohu to win, one to three odds."

"Bet on the Soul-Severing Swordsman, three to one odds."

"Place your bets quickly!" a man in blue clothes shouted loudly.

"I bet one hundred thousand mid-grade divine origin stones on the Soul-Severing Swordsman."

"I bet fifty thousand mid-grade divine origin stones on Tang Bohu."

"Are you stupid? How could Tang Bohu's Overlord Spear possibly defeat the Soul-Severing Swordsman's sword? Just wait and see how you lose!"

"I'm betting on Tang Bohu, so what?"

"Fine, fine. When you lose miserably later, you'll be the one crying."

For a moment, everyone began placing their bets.

As the battle began, Tang Bohu and the Soul-Severing Swordsman on the stage clashed. Their fight was extremely fierce.

The Soul-Severing Swordsman's cultivation level was at the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Myriad Illusions Realm, while Tang Bohu's cultivation level was at the Early Stage of the Ninth Layer of the Myriad Illusions Realm.

Although his cultivation level was not as high as his opponent's, Tang Bohu had the advantage of youth, and his talent was clearly a grade higher. Therefore, it was difficult for the two to determine a winner in a short time.

After roughly several hundred exchanges, Tang Bohu seized an opportunity. With a single move of the Tang Family's Overlord Spear, he directly pierced through the Soul-Severing Swordsman's heart.

Subsequently, Tang Bohu collected the Soul-Severing Swordsman's storage ring and then drifted away gracefully.

Soon after, another challenger stepped onto the stage.

Yang Lingchen had been observing from below the stage the whole time.

Then, he saw a tall, straight-backed, and exceptionally handsome youth land gracefully on the stage from the air. This person's skin was as fair as jade, his features exquisite as if carved, and his expressive eyes held a trace of captivating charm. His composed and unflustered demeanor made him look extraordinary, exuding an aura of nobility.

This was absolutely a man whose beauty could take one's breath away. If not for the Adam's apple at his throat, many would likely mistake him for a beautiful woman.

"Damn, I can't take it anymore. This Mu Tiance is just too beautiful!"

"Yeah! Am I a bit perverted? Knowing he's a man, I actually have some thoughts about him."

"Ahem... ahem, me too. Look at those charming little lips of his. They're really damn fatal!"

"Keep your voice down! If he hears, he'll definitely finish us off."

"Right, right. Let's just keep our fantasies in our heads. This guy's a madman. If you piss him off, you won't even know how you died."

"I heard this guy can fight across four minor Realms. I wonder if it's true or not?"

"It shouldn't be wrong. This news came from the ancient desolation ranking of events."

"That's hard to say. After all, rumors can't be fully trusted. We'll know when someone challenges him later."

"You don't understand. Some Geniuses are beyond our imagination. Maybe in the eyes of many, crossing one minor Realm is already amazing. But in front of a true Genius, crossing one minor Realm is nothing. I estimate he can cross at least three minor Realms."

At this moment, the surrounding onlookers began to discuss animatedly.

Simultaneously, many female Cultivators below the stage cheered and shouted support for Mu Tiance.

"What a damn shame. He actually has the equipment," Yang Lingchen couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This world truly had everything. He never expected a man could look so delicate and beautiful.

In terms of looks alone, Mu Tiance definitely possessed a face that could make any man's heart flutter. It was just a pity he actually had the equipment.

Mu Tiance was not old, only a thousand years this year, yet his cultivation level had already reached the First Layer of Dominator Realm. Moreover, his Combat Power far exceeded that of others at the same Realm. It was rumored that when he was at the Ninth Layer of the Myriad Illusions Realm, he had killed a powerhouse at the second layer of Dominator Realm.

It was precisely because of that battle that the name Mu Tiance thoroughly shook the entire Desolate Ancient Central Continent.

The reason he was so famous was mainly because he had been challenging all along. He had almost challenged his way through all the cities under the jurisdiction of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land. East Saint City was his final stop.

"Is there no one in the east?" Mu Tiance's cold gaze swept around as he spoke.

"pretty boy, let this lord have some fun with you."

A man with a cultivation level at the second layer of Dominator Realm and a long scar on his face leaped into the air and landed on the stage.

This man's gaze was sharp, staring at Mu Tiance as if looking at a beautiful woman, his eyes filled with intense aggression.

After paying the challenge fee, the referee announced the start of the challenge.

"pretty boy, seeing as you're quite good-looking, as long as you admit defeat later and spend a day playing with me, I might consider sparing your life."

A lewd smile appeared on the Scar-faced Man's face.

"Seeking death!"

A trace of cold Killing Intent flashed across Mu Tiance's handsome face. His figure suddenly blurred, and a battle sword instantly slashed out. Sword Qi tore through the Void Realm, carrying a hint of destructive aura.

Facing Mu Tiance's sudden attack, the Scar-faced Man sensed an aura of death. His eyes held a trace of fear. He truly hadn't expected Mu Tiance, at the First Layer of Dominator Realm, to possess such formidable Combat Power.

In a panic, the Scar-faced Man hastily swung the long blade in his hand to meet the attack.

*Clang!*

As the sound of clashing weapons rang out, Mu Tiance's Sword Qi broke through like splitting bamboo, instantly slicing across the Scar-faced Man's neck.

"How is this possible!"

The Scar-faced Man's eyes were filled with utter disbelief.

At this moment, he regretted it immensely. Why did he have to show off like this? Now look, not only did he fail to show off, but he also lost his life.

"Damn, it seems the rumors are true. This guy really can Cross-Rank Challenge."

"I told you earlier, but you didn't believe me."

At this moment, everyone's eyes held a look of shock.

Although the news of Mu Tiance's ability to Cross-Rank Challenge had long spread throughout the entire Desolate Ancient Central Continent, not many had actually witnessed Mu Tiance in battle. Therefore, many people held a skeptical attitude.

But after witnessing Mu Tiance's overwhelming strength at this moment, no one had any further doubts about his ability to possess super-strong Cross-Rank Challenge capabilities.
