Apotheosis

Now, Chance had to hit the sculpture over ten times to destroy it.

Deafening, clanging sounds echoed as his sword strikes collided with the sculpture.

He cut the sculpture a dozen times before it finally broke into pieces.

However, as soon as the sculpture crumbled, a new one appeared before him. Zen had summoned another statue.

It was even burlier and larger than the last one!

"The sculptures will just keep coming!" Chance said to himself, getting frustrated.

He realized that it was a mistake to waste his energy on the statues. He should have dodged them and directly attacked Zen instead.

He sidestepped the latest statue and prepared to rush towards Zen. In that instant, a chessboard appeared in Zen's hand.

Like the statues, it was made of Regal Jade.

Nine vertical and nine horizontal lines were laid out on the chessboard, forming a total of eighty-one intersections.

There was a single cyan chessman on the board.

Zen delicately placed a finger on the cyan chessman, and pushed it a step forward.

The statue sprang to life. It lunged forward and grabbed Chance.

Chance was caught by surprise when the statue took hold of him. He had thought the statues were only used to make the array, and that they couldn't move.

"Go to hell!"

Chance shouted. At this point he was more irritated than afraid.

He had stopped not because he was afraid but trying to save his time and strength.

If he wanted, he would be able to destroy them one after another.

As the statue dragged him, Chance turned, wielding his sword. The light of his sword circled as he swung at the statue.

There was a crashing sound as it cracked and crumbled.

He had broken the statue into pieces with his sword.

The disciples of the Phoenix Palace cheered, "Chance is awesome!"

"I've never seen anything like that strange Other Shore Token, but it won't be enough to beat Chance!"

While the disciples were proclaiming their support for Chance, one of them suddenly pointed at Zen and gasped, "Look!"

Zen was holding the Regal Jade chessboard with one hand. He raised his other hand, and immediately another statue of Regal Jade Beast appeared beside him. It was huge and forbidding. It was definitely taller and fiercer than any of the previous statues.

They could see traces of green energy surrounding the Regal Jade Beast statue.

Zen smiled

hore Tokens can be extremely powerful, but they have to be reasonable. Remember, that guy has only reached the thirteenth stage of the Other Shore Realm. There's no way he could have gotten his hands on an invincible Other Shore Token."

Of course, the power of the Other Shore Tokens did not always strictly correspond to their stage. There were powerful tokens in Stage One, and there were tokens from Stage Thirteen that could be stronger than tokens from Stage Fourteen. But the variance in their level of power would not be too great.

There were some Other Shore Tokens that had the power to overturn the Oneness Sky Palace, but there was no way they would be found in Stage Thirteen on the Other Shore.

"Damn it!"

Chance shouted furiously. His hair stood on end with his exertions.

A primitive and unique force began forming inside his body.

At the same time, a melodious bell sounded.

"His blood!" cried the disciples.

"Chance's blood is pure.

He has just summoned the Bell of Eastern Emperor!"

Chance raised his sword slightly and said, "Suppress." He swept his sword across the two statues, and shadows appeared over each of them. Two huge bells were falling from the sky.

There was a clanging sound

as the bells landed.

The two statues were broken into pieces in the blink of an eye.

"Ha!" said Chance triumphantly.

He looked at Zen, intending to gloat, but instead he saw something terrifying

Zen still wore that faint smile. Next to him stood three statues. Each was taller and stronger than the two statues Chance had just destroyed.
