Eternal Pagoda, final layer.
On a shattered plain, a dark-red mountain stood silently.
The mountain emitted an ancient, undying aura, giving off an extremely mysterious feeling.
In front of the dark-red mountain stood a towering stone platform, upon which three figures stood.
The three kept some distance from one another, clearly wary of each other.
These three were none other than Mohe Shang, Ye Fantian, and Youming Zi.
Clearly, they had already finished the elimination battles and successfully reached this final layer.
"Hehe, it seems the result really was exactly as I expected. The two who made it here are still you two." Mohe Shang gazed at Ye Fantian and Youming Zi, smiling faintly. "Of these hundred-plus people, only three could become my opponents."
Ye Fantian and Youming Zi both knew that the third person he meant was Taiqing Xuan.
"Then I'm honored by your high opinion." Ye Fantian gave a slight smile. His eyes were full of confidence and composure, with little fear of Mohe Shang.
Youming Zi, meanwhile, said nothing, his face expressionless.
"However, Taiqing Xuan still hasn't appeared. He must have encountered a powerful enemy." Ye Fantian looked toward the fourth person, who still had not appeared, and spoke with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"It should be Lei Xiao," Youming Zi slowly replied.
Clearly, they were all quite familiar with Lei Xiao's information and knew that this person, who ranked below them, possessed astonishing combat strength.
"Although Lei Xiao has some ability and has earned the regard of the Eastern Region Demon Slayer King, Thunder Emperor Mo Yu, he is still a little short of what it takes to defeat Taiqing Xuan."
Mohe Shang gave a slight smile. When he mentioned Thunder Emperor Mo Yu, a trace of darkness flashed deep in his eyes.
