Rumble rumble rumble.
After Chu Feng and the others entered the stone gate, they vanished completely into the barrier of the gate, like stones sinking into the sea. No one appeared on the competition platform.
Yet the competition platform was far from calm.
At that moment, the enormous platform began to rumble loudly.
The violent trembling was so intense that not only did the earth shake, but even the sky quivered.
At the same time, the runes carved on the platform not only emitted light but also started to rotate.
It was clearly a grand formation.
As the formation activated, the platform began to change. Trees extended outwards from within the formation.
The platform continued to transform. Mountains rose from the ground, waterfalls cascaded, and rivers surged.
Initially, the platform was merely constructed from bluestone. At a glance, it appeared empty, with nothing but the runes imprinted on the stone.
But now, on the platform there were deserts, oases, mountains, rivers, and even several patches of ocean.
Moreover, within the platform, patches of floating clouds had appeared.
The interior of the platform had formed an independent world.
However, everything in that world was extremely small compared to reality.
For example, the towering trees on the platform appeared no larger than ants to the onlookers.
Yet no one present was particularly surprised. They were all experienced individuals.
Thus, they all understood clearly that the platform contained an independent world. If juniors like Chu Feng entered it, they too would become extremely small.
Simply put, the world inside the platform was not truly small. It was merely a sealed space. Unless one truly entered it, one could not experience its vastness.
The changes within the platform happened quickly. In the blink of an eye, it had largely taken shape.
Only the centre continued to shift constantly.
It was a plain.
At that moment, amidst the vast heavens and earth, billions of gazes focused on that plain.
They wanted to see what changes that plain would undergo.
Rumble rumble rumble.
Finally, the plain began to move. It rose from the ground at extreme speed, piercing through the clouds in an instant.
It had formed an extraordinarily majestic mountain peak.
Below the plain, the soil transformed and turned into two gigantic dragons that coiled around the peak.
The world contained countless wondrous sights, yet compared to this heaven-piercing peak coiled by two dragons, they all paled into insignificance.
“That place should be the true Storm Dragon Battle Platform, right?”
As people gazed at the heaven-piercing peak coiled by two dragons, they realised that it was likely the final destination where the various juniors would arrive.
In other words, that place was probably the battlefield where Chu Feng and the other juniors would decide the victor.
“Why has it started changing again?”
Soon, however, people noticed that the clouds above the platform were growing denser. Before long, they obscured everyone’s view.
Now, apart from the heaven-piercing peak coiled by two dragons in the very centre of the platform, nothing else could be seen.
Everything within the world was concealed by the clouds and mist.
“What is going on? Are they not letting us watch?”
“Could it be that back then, when the Storm Frenzy Clan activated this Storm Dragon Battle Platform, they too could not see what was happening inside and could only wait for the final result?”
Many people began discussing the changes on the platform. They were actually quite frustrated.
Originally, a complete world had been presented before their eyes.
They had thought that Chu Feng and the other juniors would eventually appear within that world.
When that happened, everything occurring inside would be fully visible to them.
They would witness it all from a god-like perspective, which sounded extremely satisfying just to think about.
But now, the platform was shrouded in clouds and mist. Moreover, possibly due to a barrier protecting the platform, all their methods were useless. They could not penetrate the mist at all.
Whatever happened inside the platform, they would have no way of knowing.
This change was naturally disappointing for them.
…
Meanwhile, although Chu Feng and the others had stepped through the stone gate, what they entered was a pitch-black space.
Within this space, Chu Feng and the others could not move at all. It was as if they had been thrown into a barren world and trapped there.
But Chu Feng did not panic. Instead, he immediately sought a way to escape this place.
Soon, Chu Feng discovered something unusual.
In this pitch-black space, there was actually an object: a crystal.
Although the crystal was currently black, its shape was identical to the crystal on the stone gate.
Chu Feng knew that this crystal was undoubtedly the key to leaving this place.
After some investigation, Chu Feng discovered that the crystal was actually an independent space containing another stone gate.
Opening that gate would surely allow him to depart.
However, entering the independent space within the crystal was not so simple.
Outside the crystal was a barrier. That barrier was similar to the obstacle a martial cultivator faced before breaking through to a new realm.
Breaking it required comprehension.
Yet anything related to comprehension rarely posed a difficulty for Chu Feng.
Chu Feng closed his eyes and focused his mind. In just a brief moment, he shattered the barrier.
Hum.
When the barrier broke, not only was Chu Feng’s restrained body freed.
Within the pitch-black space, dazzling seven-coloured radiance also surged forth.
That seven-coloured radiance emanated from the crystal. After the barrier outside was broken, the originally black crystal began to emit seven-coloured light.
Its appearance was now identical to the crystal on the outer stone gate.
With a leap, Chu Feng entered the space inside the crystal.
This space was actually very small. Within the narrow area, there was nothing except a stone gate.
Yet the previously ordinary stone gate was now also surging with seven-coloured radiance.
Moreover, a line of text had appeared on the gate.
Use qi as the brush, the gate as paper. Write your great name to enter the formation.
Seeing this, Chu Feng did not hesitate. He directly used his aura to inscribe his name on the gate.
Rumble rumble rumble.
As expected, once Chu Feng’s name was inscribed, the stone gate immediately opened.
Beyond the open gate, what met Chu Feng’s eyes was a jungle.
The trees in this jungle each towered thousands of metres high. Vines were dense, and branches and leaves completely blocked the sunlight.
Coupled with the intermittent low roars coming from within, it appeared dark and terrifying at a glance.
Yet Chu Feng showed no hesitation and stepped directly into it.
Boom.
The moment Chu Feng entered, the stone gate immediately closed. When he turned to look, he found that the gate had transformed into a wisp of seven-coloured flame that merged into his arm.
At this point, Chu Feng no longer had a way to retreat from this place.
…
“Look quickly! A bright light has appeared there. It’s Chu Feng. That’s Chu Feng!!!”
The instant Chu Feng stepped into the jungle, the sea of people outside the Storm Dragon Battle Platform instantly erupted.
The platform remained shrouded in clouds and mist.
Yet within the mist, a seven-coloured point of light had appeared. The point was very small, so tiny in that vast world that it resembled a speck of dust. Still, many martial cultivators noticed it.
They not only spotted this dust-like point of light but could even read the characters on it.
On the point of light were written the two characters: Chu Feng.
After appearing, the point remained stationary for a moment before quickly moving. It travelled extremely fast, heading directly towards the centre of the platform.
This let everyone know that the point of light was undoubtedly Chu Feng.
Chu Feng had already entered the world within the platform.
“Impressive. This Chu Feng truly lives up to his reputation.”
“No wonder Niantian Daoren favours him so much. No wonder the Niantian Gambling Formation produced a phenomenon because of him. This young man is indeed extraordinary.”
For a time, praise for Chu Feng poured forth endlessly.
After all, Chu Feng was the first to enter the platform. Especially now, with only him inside.
His excellence was plain for all to see.
“Young friend Chu Feng truly shines in every confrontation among his peers.”
At this moment, not only outsiders but even the Dragon Clan Chief, the Lord of the Monstrous Demon Temple, and others praised him endlessly.
This was not the first time they had witnessed Chu Feng’s performance. Although they had expected it, they could not hide their excitement and admiration.
However, compared to the Dragon Clan Chief and the others, people from the Ancestral Martial Starfield such as Wuming Doutian and Long Daozhi felt even more emotional.
Especially Wuming Doutian.
This man, who had once been an obstacle to the growth of Chu Hanxian and Chu Xuanyuan, could now only watch Chu Feng’s performance from the position of a minor figure.
Seeing how all these great personages within the Holy Light Galaxy held Chu Feng in such high regard, he also felt that his past attempts to hinder Chu Hanxian and Chu Xuanyuan of the Chu Heavenly Clan had been utterly foolish.
A true powerhouse could never be obstructed by a minor figure like him.
“Chu Xuanyuan, if you could see your son’s splendour at this moment, you would surely be proud of him, wouldn’t you?”
Wuming Doutian sighed inwardly.
He was well aware of Chu Xuanyuan’s strength. He had known long ago that if Chu Xuanyuan grew smoothly, he would surely shake the galaxy.
Yet due to certain reasons, Chu Xuanyuan’s battlefield had been confined to the Ancestral Martial Starfield. His name had not resounded throughout the entire galaxy.
And now, Chu Xuanyuan’s son had accomplished what his father could not.
In Wuming Doutian’s view, Chu Feng had made up for the regrets of Chu Hanxian and Chu Xuanyuan.
“Look quickly, someone else has appeared.”
“Who is this person? What is this name?”
“Is it written randomly?”
“How could someone be called Wu Feishi Jie Deng Er?”
As people watched the second faint point of light appear within the clouds and mist of the platform, discussion arose once more.
Everyone was unfamiliar with this name.
