In the sky, the storm of spiritual energy had already dissipated, and the breathtaking battle had reached its conclusion. The two figures hovering in the air were the center of attention.

Amid many heated glances, Mu Chen stared fixedly at the peak of the Dragon-Phoenix Platform as golden light glimmered brightly, and the ancient cries of the Dragon and Phoenix reverberated in the air.

That was where the Dragon-Phoenix Legacy lay.

Buzz.

The Dragon-Phoenix Platform seemed to have sensed the reduction in the number of competitors, and a golden flood rushed down from the peak of the Platform, condensing into a golden flight of stairs.

At the end of the stairs lay the Dragon-Phoenix Legacy.

“Go get the reward.” Cai Xiao looked at the golden staircase and smiled. It had not been easy to get there after all the bloody battles, and it was time to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Mu Chen nodded, and they appeared before the golden staircase, stepping up amid envious glances.

Standing behind them, Su Biyue, Snapper, and Ding Xuan followed. Although they could not obtain the Legacy at the highest level, they were able to get some great benefits at the lower levels.

The group went up to the golden staircase and finally stopped. Mu Chen looked up to see that at the end of the staircase there was a golden altar with distinct levels.

The altar was in the form of a Dragon and Phoenix intertwined with each other, and it emanated an ancient aura. This aura caused the world to feel as if it were back in primitive times, and as they continued, the aura grew increasingly pervasive.

That oppressive aura seemed to cause even the space to freeze and coagulate.

There were less than ten steps from the top of the altar, but those last steps were incredibly difficult to climb, and the horribly oppressive aura that the Dragon-Phoenix was emitting was threatening to turn those who attempted to ascend into minced meat.

“The oppressive aura here…” Cai Xiao’s expression was grave as she tightly knitted her brows, for she could feel that the Dragon-Phoenix aura there was terrifying, especially the ten golden steps before her. She felt that if she stepped up, that horrifying aura would swarm around her.

The oppressive aura there was even stronger than that of the superb Dragon-Phoenix Pool.

“It’s said that when the real dragon and phoenix fell, their hearts descended here and transformed into the Dragon-Phoenix Platform, also sealing the Legacy… I’m afraid this place has the strongest oppressive aura in the entire Dragon-Phoenix Rift.

“The ten steps in front of you are also the ultimate test of the Dragon-Phoenix Legacy. These ten steps are called the Dragon-Phoenix Step. Only those who have successfully ascended it will be able to obtain the final Legacy.”

Mu Chen gritted his teeth, as he also felt the terrible Dragon-Phoenix aura. If he had not cultivated the Dragon-Phoenix Body, he would have failed to withstand it.

“In the many years of the Dragon-Phoenix Rift, many powerful characters have made it here, but even the most elite have only reached the ninth step…”

“Oh?” Cai Xiao’s gaze turned somber and her expression grew increasingly solemn. This Dragon-Phoenix Rift was so powerful, that even after being open for so many years, no one had actually made it to the tenth step?

“What do you think?” Cai Xiao glanced at Mu Chen and asked.

Mu Chen lifted his head to glance at the end of the Dragon-Phoenix Step. It was bathed in golden light, and a powerful oppressive aura permeated where the ancient Dragon-Phoenix Legacy was hidden.

“It’s not that easy for me to give up!” Determination burned in Mu Chen’s dark eyes as he scoffed, and without any hesitation, he stepped onto the Dragon-Phoenix Step.

Boom!

Just as Mu Chen stepped onto the Dragon-Phoenix Step, the thunderous roar of a dragon rumbled, and a horrifying oppressive aura surged.

Mu Chen’s body felt as heavy as mountains.

However, he gritted his teeth as he continued to trudge on with shaky footsteps.

Mu Chen’s figure shook unsteadily on the Dragon-Phoenix Step, clearly under immense pressure. With every step, sweat dripped profusely, and his muscles bore an excruciating pain as if they were being torn apart.

Cai Xiao followed him, and although she wasn’t having such a hard time in comparison, her steps were also heavy, as she was clearly also withstanding a terrifying pressure.

Behind them, Su Biyue, Snapper, and Ding Xuan were finding it torturous to climb with every step they took.

Everyone gazed at the five figures slowly climbing up the Dragon-Phoenix Step, and they were dying to know exactly who could ascend to which step in this Dragon-Phoenix Rift?!

Amid countless gazes, Mu Chen’s wavering steps stopped at the sixth step, as he could feel his flesh being torn apart and blood trickling down his back.

The Dragon-Phoenix oppressive aura was so strong that even the Dragon-Phoenix Body was overwhelmed.

Cai Xiao followed behind Mu Chen, sweat dotting her forehead. Even with her immense power, she could not belittle the horrifying pressure here.

“You still want to continue?” Cai Xiao gritted her teeth as she glanced at the blood seeping out from Mu Chen’s back.

Mu Chen remained silent and only nodded gravely. His dark eyes showed no signs of retreat and in the next moment, he took another step.

Spurt.

A wound surfaced on his shoulders, and blood gushed out, flowing down Mu Chen’s to feet, leaving a glaring red footprint on the golden steps.
