Weng!

A huge stone platform, sparkling in gold, slowly emerged from the distorted space. Its surface area was enormous, spanning as far as the naked eye could see.

The top layer of the Dragon-Phoenix Platform was enveloped in layers of thick clouds. Only a faint golden light could be seen flickering.

The feeling of an intense oppression came tumbling down, forcing the top powers to have difficulty breathing. The platform itself was exuding an overbearing sense of pressure.

Despite all of this, the top powers continued to fix their enthusiastic gazes on the floating platform, high above the sky. Their eyes were full of greed, as it was said that a legacy was left behind by a real dragon and a real phoenix on the top of the Dragon-Phoenix Platform. The temptation of catching a glimpse of these legends was so high, it could drive any Sovereign Masters crazy.

“So, is that the Dragon-Phoenix Platform?”

Mu Chen looked up as well, fixing his gaze at the ancient stone platform. He could feel the blood accelerating in his body, seeming to have been triggered by some strong and unseen force.

As he gazed upward, it looked like something was on that platform. Moreover, it appeared as if it could be something quite perfect for their cultivation.

“The Dragon-Phoenix Platform has appeared!”

The silence went on for quite some time, before someone let out an exclamation, rejoicing with wild excitement. All of the sudden, the air was filled with the sound of rushing wind, as numerous figures flit towards the Dragon-Phoenix Platform.

Most of these people, who had not yet obtained the Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essence, were trying to hedge their bets, making a dash for the platform. After all, since the platform was right in front of them, they had to give it a try!

Mu Chen and his group watched calmly, waiting patiently as the horde of others clamored over one another, making their ways to the platform. The sky was full of the rushing sound of the wind, as more and more figures flit towards the platform. It was truly a spectacular scene!

The figures flew at an astonishing speed. Within seconds, they closed in upon the platform. But, just as they were a mere thousand feet away from the platform, intense golden rays beamed forth from the platform. As the golden rays beamed out, the air seemed to fill with loud ancient cries of a dragon and a phoenix.

Bang! Bang!

Those approaching figures, who were now directly in the line of the beams of golden light, were shaken violently, causing them to repel back from the lights immediately. The figures spat mouthfuls of blood, as they fell from the sky, like birds with broken wings.

Dong!

Countless figures came crashing down, creating numerous deep pits on the floor. If these fellows had cultivated to a degree that was great enough to withstand the impact, it would not have been an issue. However, most of those figures had yet to reach such a cultivation level, so they sustained serious injuries.

The sky suddenly became empty, directly following the dramatic sweep of the golden lights. Even though the light beams had wreaked abundant havoc, they had not entirely wiped out all of the figures.

A dozen figures arose,then continued to flit against the golden rays. There was a faint Dragon-Phoenix glow that was emitting from their bodies, revealing that they were among the few that must have cultivated the Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essence before. Hence, they had been able to withstand the golden light beams’ devastating wipeout.

“Let’s do it!”

Upon seeing this dramatic scene, Mu Chen urged Cai Xiao. He then took the lead, beaming into a light and flitting towards the platform. Cai Xiao followed closely thereafter.

While Mu Chen and Cai Xiao made their moves, Fang Yi, the Prince of the Netherworld, Su Biyue and the rest started to flit from the various mountain peaks towards the platform as well, traveling at an impressively fast speed.

Back down on the ground, in a land that was full of wailings, the top powers watched helplessly as all of the extraordinary talents made their moves. From where they stood, they could only give a loud sigh, as it seemed like they did not qualify for the journey to the Dragon-Phoenix Platform.

However, they felt a small consolation in knowing how fierce a fight was awaiting those heading to the platform. It would indeed be one of the most outstanding battles for the younger generation in the Northern Territory.

Shoo!

As Mu Chen rushed closer to the platform, an immense pressure enveloped him instantly, just as the golden rays permeated the space surrounding him. The air seemed to stagnate instantly, as if invisible walls were blocking him.

However, this did not hindrer Mu Chen in the slightest. On the surface of his body, a faint golden glow was emitting. All the previous stagnancy and pressure had now disappeared completely. Like a fish in water, he boosted his speed, effortlessly ascending to the old and magnificent Dragon-Phoenix Platform.

As he set his foot on the stone platform, it felt cold and hard, like a block of ice. He swept his gaze across the ground, seeing that it was made of fine and indestructible golden dragon scales.

As he looked up, he saw a massive wing with golden feathers, which stretched out in layers on the enormous stone platform. Each layer of golden feathers represented a stone tower on the platform. These layers extended upwards, as far as the eye could see, before they finally disappeared into the thick clouds.

Shua!

Beams of lights flickered, announcing the appearance of new figures on the Dragon-Phoenix Platform. But, these new figures all stood at a distance, guarding against one other.

Cai Xiao stood beside Mu Chen, directing her cold gaze towards Fang Yi. Apparently, she had decided to make him her enemy.
