"Eight Gates!"
The very next moment, Chen Xuan's voice rang directly inside everyone's minds.
Their expressions instantly grew grave. Queen Medusa's aura was now swelling at an astonishing speed.
Her strength surged straight up from Seventh-Tier Dou Zong, reaching its peak in moments before breaking through to Eight-Star Dou Zong.
But...
It was far from over. Within just a few breaths, Queen Medusa's strength reached the peak of Eight-Star Dou Zong.
Only then did it finally stop.
"The peak of Eight-Star Dou Zong!"
As Qian Mu and Bai Lie sensed the imposing aura Chen Xuan now radiated, their faces turned utterly grim.
Even when Chen Xuan was merely a Seven-Star Dou Zong, the two High-Rank Dou Zong had needed to join forces to contend with him.
Now Queen Medusa had actually reached Eight-Star Dou Zong. They could well imagine how terrifying her strength had become.
Meanwhile, Chen Xuan's aura settled once more. The wounds covering his body began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In mere moments, all the injuries he had suffered earlier had healed.
Shock flashed through Qian Mu's and Bai Lie's eyes again.
This was simply unbelievable!
What terrifying regenerative power!
Yet all this was merely routine.
During his earlier battle with Qian Mu and Bai Lie, Chen Xuan had not used the powerful regeneration granted by the Meteor Tear within his body. Only that way could he discover exactly how strong he was now.
Everything had gone much as Chen Xuan expected.
At Seven-Star Dou Zong, Chen Xuan could match a Nine-Star Dou Zong in single combat without using the power of the Eight Gates.
Moreover, Chen Xuan had only opened the fifth of the Eight Gates. Opening the Sixth Gate would allow him to break past Eight-Star and reach Nine-Star Dou Zong.
