After attempting to solve the puzzle, Chu Feng immediately felt a force binding him.
Immediately afterwards, he was drawn into a vast space.
This space was immense, so vast that it could not be described as a mere world. It was simply the boundless starry sky.
Yet within it, no stars could be seen. Apart from the mountain peak beneath Chu Feng’s feet, nothing else was visible. At a glance, it was pitch black.
In such a vast space, there was not a single trace of light, making it appear terrifying and eerie.
“Could it be that the hidden puzzle does not need to be solved at all?”
“As long as one has the courage to attempt it, one can directly enter this place?”
Chu Feng had long discovered that successfully solving the hidden puzzle would allow entry into a peculiar location.
But he had not expected that merely attempting to solve it would enable him to enter here. There was no need to succeed.
In other words, the hidden puzzle did not truly exist. As long as one discovered it and had the courage to challenge it, one could enter this place.
Whoosh whoosh.
Suddenly, a surge of frigid air assaulted from below the mountain peak.
The cold was extremely fierce. Even with Chu Feng’s cultivation, he felt it piercing to the bone. In just an instant, a layer of frost formed on his skin and clothing.
If it continued, Chu Feng would soon be frozen to death.
Fortunately, the frigid air did not persist in attacking him. It seemed to stop there.
Immediately afterwards, white radiance appeared below the originally pitch-black mountain peak.
Accompanied by that radiance, the heavens and earth trembled violently. Soon, a colossal entity flew up from below the peak and hovered before Chu Feng.
It was an ice dragon.
This dragon was enormous. In its presence, Chu Feng was not even a speck of dust.
Insignificant. Before this dragon, Chu Feng felt extraordinarily small.
Because this ice dragon, like the fire dragon outside, harboured extremely terrifying power. It was like a divine being capable of dominating everything!!!
“To think that after so many years, a junior has actually discovered this place.”
The ice dragon gazed at Chu Feng and unexpectedly spoke.
Its voice was deep and resonant, as if billions of thunderclaps exploded simultaneously throughout the entire world.
But compared to its voice, Chu Feng paid more attention to its eyes.
Those two enormous eyes were profoundly deep and contained wisdom.
This made Chu Feng realise that the immense ice dragon before him, emanating terrifying cold, seemed not to be formed from a formation but rather to possess its own life.
And this ice dragon, like the fire dragon outside, also radiated power sufficient to destroy heaven and earth.
If it was not formed by a formation but truly possessed its own life, that would be far too terrifying.
One could say that whether it was the fire dragon outside or the ice dragon here, if either left this place, no martial cultivator outside could stop them.
Even the current strongest in the Holy Light Galaxy, Shengguang Xuanye, would likely be unable to block these two gigantic dragons.
“Senior, this junior entered this place without intent to offend you.”
“I only wish to know how to stop that fire dragon.”
Chu Feng asked the ice dragon.
“No need to worry. Since you discovered the hidden puzzle and had the courage to challenge it, you are already safe.”
The ice dragon said to Chu Feng.
“Senior, I wish to stop the fire dragon.”
Chu Feng said.
“You want to save those people outside?”
The ice dragon asked.
“Yes, senior. This junior wishes to save them.”
Chu Feng said.
“You are truly foolish.”
“As long as you become the final victor in this competition, you will obtain the inherited martial technique of the Storm Frenzy Clan.”
“And right now, you only need to wait.”
“If no second person enters this place next, it means you alone have escaped calamity.”
“When all those people die, you can become the sole victor here.”
The ice dragon said.
“Senior, I still wish to stop the fire dragon.”
Chu Feng said.
“They do not seem to be of the same clan as you. Why must you save them?”
“Did you not come here to seize first place in the competition, to obtain the Storm Frenzy Clan’s inherited martial technique?”
The ice dragon asked Chu Feng in a tone of incomprehension.
“There are my friends outside. I cannot stand by and watch them die.”
Chu Feng said.
“So that is how it is.”
“It seems you are a person of deep sentiment and righteousness.”
“In that case, I can indeed tell you the method to stop the fire dragon.”
“But I must remind you that if you choose to stop the fire dragon, you will be placing yourself in danger.”
Awooo.
After saying this, the ice dragon opened its massive maw.
Within that maw filled with sharp fangs, there was unexpectedly a gigantic barrier gate.
Although the ice dragon’s mouth was open at this moment, sound still emanated from within.
“As long as you have the courage to step through the gate in this venerable one’s mouth, you can stop the fire dragon.”
“But whether you can emerge alive will depend on your own ability.”
“This venerable one reminds you once more. You can stand here safely and wait. As long as those people are all eradicated by the fire dragon, you can become the victor here and obtain the Storm Frenzy Clan’s inherited martial technique without any need to take risks.”
“But if you insist on upholding sentiment and righteousness, desperately trying to save the people outside, then you can only place yourself in peril.”
The ice dragon said to Chu Feng.
“Many thanks for senior’s guidance.”
“This junior expresses gratitude here.”
Chu Feng cupped his fist in salute to the ice dragon. Then, with a leap, he directly plunged into the gate within the ice dragon’s mouth.
After Chu Feng entered, the ice dragon immediately closed its mouth.
Yet in its eyes, a different gleam emerged.
“To think that among the current generation of juniors, there is one so brave.”
“This is far more interesting than those selfish fellows of the Storm Frenzy Clan.”
The ice dragon’s voice resounded again. Its voice was inherently deep and resonant. In this empty space, it was even more extraordinarily terrifying.
Yet compared to its earlier voice, there was now something special. If one had to describe it, its current voice seemed to carry a faint trace of laughter.
…
At the same moment Chu Feng entered the space where the ice dragon resided, time continued to pass.
In the blink of an eye, another incense stick’s time had elapsed.
The gigantic fire dragon dominating the pinnacle of the world opened its massive maw once more.
Seeing this, the Dragon Clan Chief, the Lord of the Monstrous Demon Temple, and others clenched their fists tightly within their sleeves until they creaked. Great figures like them trembled from tension.
They all knew that the upcoming wave of flame ripples would be exceptionally ferocious.
It was very likely to cause the deaths of more than half the juniors in the Storm Dragon Battle Platform.
What they feared was that the descendants of their clans would also be unable to escape this calamity.
Rumble rumble rumble.
Yet just as the fire dragon was about to release the flame ripples.
Array-like rumbling came from the heaven-piercing peak.
Hearing the rumbling, the fire dragon did not release the flame ripples but instead cast its gaze over.
Immediately afterwards, the peak trembled violently. The other gigantic dragon coiled around the peak awakened just like the fire dragon.
That dragon, like the previous fire dragon, first shattered the dust. Then its body transformed, becoming extraordinarily massive, comparable to the fire dragon.
However, what emanated from this dragon was not raging flames but freezing frost.
This was an ice dragon.
And this ice dragon was identical to the one Chu Feng had previously seen in that space.
Awooo.
After appearing, the ice dragon wasted no words and launched an attack on the fire dragon.
The fire dragon was not willing to show weakness either. The two heaven-obscuring gigantic dragons clashed together.
They were like sworn enemies. A terrifying battle unfolded in that world.
Yet the moment they engaged, a strange change occurred.
At the very top of the world in the Storm Dragon Battle Platform, a massive black vortex appeared.
It sucked both the fire dragon and the ice dragon into it.
After the fire dragon and ice dragon entered the black vortex, the vortex immediately dissipated.
And that realm also returned to calm.
“Why did it suddenly become like this?”
Seeing the recent scene, people were somewhat puzzled.
They had originally thought that the fire dragon and ice dragon were allies.
But now it seemed the ice dragon was more like it had come to save everyone. Yet why would the ice dragon, perfectly fine, save the various juniors?
Or was it merely coincidence?
“Look quickly. They are moving. Those juniors are moving again.”
Before people could think further, waves of cheers arose.
Figures like the Dragon Clan Chief breathed long sighs of relief.
When they saw the light points that had been stationary begin moving once more.
They understood that the catastrophe enveloping the entire Storm Dragon Battle Platform seemed to have come to an end.
