Chapter 268: The Appearance of Purple-Gold Frieza—This Is a Battle Between Us!
The destructive power of the legendary Saiyan was simply overwhelming. What started as a chaotic free-for-all was completely turned around by the arrival of a female version of Broly. Her presence swept through the battlefield like a tidal wave!
Mu Chuan felt this saved him a lot of time and energy.
This was like using torpedoes to fish in a pond—every blast guaranteed a hit!
"However... while the small fry have been cleared, the ones coming up next won't be as easy to deal with!"
Mu Chuan turned his gaze toward the Pride Troopers of Universe 11. With the other weaker fighters eliminated, the Pride Troopers now had time to regroup. Other than Jiren, Toppo's strength was passable, while the rest were significantly weaker but still suitable for honing skills.
Of course, that didn't apply to him.
At that moment, Kale, who had been rampaging forward, attempted to charge at the Pride Troopers but was abruptly intercepted by a figure.
This figure radiated purple energy flames, was entirely covered in a purple-gold aura, and had terrifying purple lightning crackling around it— Purple-Gold Frieza!
"Filthy Saiyan..."
"You annoying creature! Fight properly and stop running around like a headless chicken! Your opponent is me!"
Frieza was deeply frustrated. When he transformed into his golden form earlier, he was beaten so badly that he couldn't even counterattack. The humiliation enraged him!
Especially being looked down upon by others—this was something the Emperor of the Universe, Frieza, had never experienced before.
Now, he had unleashed his Purple-Gold Form!
"Mu Chuan, take care of the rest of the small fry for me. I'm going to fight this one-on-one!"
Frieza suddenly addressed Mu Chuan. If anyone could handle this task, it had to be him.
Although Frieza loathed admitting it, some truths couldn't be denied. If he couldn't defeat Mu Chuan, he could at least take down this loathsome Saiyan in front of him, right?
Mu Chuan raised an eyebrow in mild surprise. He hadn't expected the proud Frieza to make such a request, but he didn't refuse. He nodded slightly from a distance.
"Fine, go all out. No one will interfere in your battle."
"Good!"
"This is a fight between us!"
Purple-Gold Frieza slowly approached Kale. With every step he took, the violent energy emanating from him grew more terrifying.
The power of this form was initially intended to defeat Mu Chuan. However, Mu Chuan's rapid growth in strength had already left Frieza far behind. Beating Mu Chuan was no longer realistic, but against other Saiyans, they were still no match for him!
Kale, having lost her rationality, didn't care about any of this. Anything in her path was destined for destruction.
The two collided instantly, igniting the battle!
Both fighters unleashed devastating force with every blow. Each strike was accompanied by frightening energy blasts, causing cracks to spread across the arena. The edges of the stage crumbled under the destructive shockwaves.
The Pride Troopers from Universe 11 gathered in the distance, watching the intense battle unfold. They were visibly displeased—they were being completely ignored!
"These fools think so little of the Pride Troopers?"
"It's time to show them how powerful we are!"
Apart from Jiren, the rest of the Pride Troopers began moving toward the fight. But before they could close in, figures from Universe 7 appeared to block their path!
With the weaker fighters already eliminated by Kale, the remaining warriors from Universe 7 were now free to act. None of them had been eliminated yet, making them the center of attention.
Universe 7 vs. Universe 11!
Each side picked their opponents, and the fighters of Universe 11 were so strong that the warriors of Universe 7 were forced to unleash their full power.
The Saiyans, in particular, immediately transformed into Super Saiyan 3!
The sight of their long golden hair caught everyone's attention. On the spectator stands, the Zeno Kings were overjoyed. This was the kind of excitement they wanted!
"Good, good, good!"
"This is fantastic!"
"This is exactly what we want!"
The battle on the stage reached its peak intensity.
Meanwhile, Cooler and Bojack engaged the fighters from Universe 6. Hit demonstrated his incredible strength, going head-to-head with Cooler, while Bojack fought the others in a chaotic melee.
With the weaker fighters out of the way, only the strongest remained, making the battlefield even more chaotic yet utterly captivating. Every corner of the arena seemed to be filled with dazzling action.
Of course, two figures on the stage had yet to make a move—Mu Chuan and Jiren.
Jiren scanned the battlefield, noticing that everyone else was engaged in combat. Realizing he was the only one standing idle, he started walking toward Frieza and Kale, where the most intense energy clashed.
If he could eliminate the strongest fighters there, this tournament would effectively be over.
However, before he could reach them, Mu Chuan appeared in his path.
"You shall not pass!"
Boom!
The moment Mu Chuan spoke, Jiren dashed forward, throwing a punch that landed squarely on him.
Jiren was as direct as ever—no words, just action.
Mu Chuan raised his hands to block, but the sheer force of the punch pushed him far back. Moments earlier, he had briefly fought Toppo while still in his base form, which was already comparable to a Super Saiyan 5's strength. Transforming hadn't been necessary—until now.
Facing Jiren, however, he was immediately forced on the defensive.
Fortunately, Mu Chuan's power wasn't weak. Otherwise, he would have been sent flying off the stage.
"So this is the strongest boss of the Tournament of Power!"
"This power is truly terrifying! If it weren't for my training, I'd be in serious trouble!"
For the first time, Mu Chuan experienced Jiren's overwhelming strength. After regaining his footing, he began walking forward slowly.
With each step, his hair began to change, and a terrifying destructive aura surrounded him. His hair resembled a Super Saiyan 3's but radiated a purple glow.
Purple energy flames enveloped him, and purple lightning crackled around his body.
Perfect Ultra Instinct!
The moment Mu Chuan entered this form, even Jiren paused for a moment. The transformation was so profound that it seemed like an entirely different person stood before him.
"Let's begin."
"This is a fight between us!"
