The Dragon-Wind Territory, the central region of the Dragon-Phoenix Haven. At the same time, it was also the most important region. That's because the Dragon-Phoenix Stage, which was said to contain the inheritance of the True Dragon and Phoenix, was located here.
ybdu。
This region was different from the other regions of the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, which were filled with beasts. There wasn't a single beast that dared to stay here. That's because this was the place where the True Dragon and Phoenix had fallen in the past.
Even after tens of thousands of years, the remnant pressure in this region still made those beasts that had absorbed the Blood Essences of the True Dragon and Phoenix not dare to approach.
Therefore, in the past, this region would always be in a deathly silence. Even the sound of the wind would be silent due to the pressure that enveloped this region, as if it was a dead land.
However, this deathly silence clearly no longer existed at this moment. Instead, it was replaced by a ruckus that soared into the sky. In this world that was filled with an ancient aura, countless light figures covered the sky and covered the earth. In the end, they were like a swarm of locusts that covered the entire sky and the ground. That ruckus had completely destroyed the deathly silence that was originally present in this place.
Those silhouettes were naturally the young experts that had rushed to the Dragon-Phoenix Stage. Although they had encountered danger in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, they had some harvest as well. Now that all of them had rushed here, they clearly understood that there would be an earth-shattering battle that would erupt here in the next period of time.
As time passed, the number of experts that had gathered in this region was also increasing at a shocking speed. The clamour gathered together, forming into sound waves that soared into the horizon.
It was so much so that even the thick layer of clouds had been lifted.
Whoosh!
When the number of people in this region reached a shocking amount, a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation suddenly exploded in the distant horizon.
Thereafter, a streak of light streaked across the horizon like a meteorite, before landing on a massive lone peak under countless startled gazes.
Boom!
When that figure stepped on the lone peak, huge cracks instantly spread out beneath his feet. In just a few breaths' time, they had covered the entire lone peak.
In an instant, the lone peak started to sway.
When the light dissipated on the peak, a massive figure that was roughly five to six feet in height could be seen standing there.
He was donned in heavy armour with a huge axe in his hand. A ferocious aura swept out, as if he was a primordial giant.
Its might was unparalleled.
"That's Ding Xuan of the Giant Spirit Race!"
As soon as this person appeared.
It immediately caused an uproar in the surroundings. Clearly, this person was not a nobody, and he had quite a good reputation in the Northern Region.
"It's said that Ding Xuan has also obtained a Dragon-Phoenix Pool and cultivated the 'Ersatz Dragon Physique'. The Giant Spirit Clan specializes in physical combat to begin with. Now that he has the 'Ersatz Dragon Physique', he's like a tiger that has grown wings.
I'm afraid I'll have to raise it. "
Xiu!
Xiu!
Just as the numerous experts in this world were in an uproar over the appearance of a powerful figure like Ding Xuan, in the distant sky.
Another series of whooshing sounds rang out, and along with these whooshing sounds came astonishing Spiritual Power fluctuations.
Whoosh!
Two streaks of light, one in front and one at the back, shot over from the distance. In the next instant, they violently intertwined in the sky as powerful Spiritual Energies swept out and clashed against each other.
Spiritual Energy fluctuations wreaked havoc as the two figures retreated, landing on a mountain peak each.
"Hehe. Big Sister Su's strength has truly improved by quite a bit. This Little Sister is envious."
A light figure dissipated, revealing Hong Yu in a scarlet dress. She pursed her rosy lips as she smiled. Her smile was bewitching, causing countless gazes in this region to be a little dazed.
"Little Sister Hong Yu isn't simple either. You must have cultivated the Demonic God Art to greater mastery, right?"
On another mountain peak, the light figure had also revealed itself. It was a peerless beauty donned in a white dress, emanating a pure and holy aura. It was naturally Su Biyue of the Myriad Saint Peak.
The moment the two beauties revealed themselves, the atmosphere in this region had instantly reached its peak. Countless gazes were directed at them. Amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region, perhaps the two of them weren't the strongest. However, their charm was something that even the Numero Uno of the Dragon-Phoenix Record, Fang Yi of the Divine Pavilion, paled in comparison.
"I want to know if Big Sister Su has successfully cultivated the Pseudo Phoenix Physique." Hong Yu covered her rosy lips with her hand as she smiled. Her bewitching laughter caused the evil flames in everyone's hearts to run wild.
Su Biyue noncommittally smiled. "Little Sister Hong Yu, do you want to give it a try now?"
"I also want to, but I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of me if I make a move now. I'm fine with it, but I'm afraid that Big Sister's title of the Undefeatable Holy Maiden will be destroyed." Hong Yu chuckled.
The two of them were both stunning beauties, but they clearly didn't have a good relationship. Although they called each other 'Big Sister' intimately, they were clearly wary of each other.
Hearing her words, Su Biyue lightly shook her head. She knew that Hong Yu wasn't easy to deal with. Therefore, she did not speak much with her and swept her gaze out. Shortly after, her gaze briefly paused on Ding Xuan, who had appeared earlier, before shifting away.
After the appearance of the two beauties, Hong Yu and Su Biyue, the atmosphere in this region had become much more lively. As time passed, there were many experts with astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuations that had rushed over. Vaguely, there was a pressure being emitted from those experts that had absorbed the Blood Essences of the True Dragon and Phoenix.
Clearly, those experts had more or less obtained some treasures that contained the Blood Essences of the True Dragon and Phoenix. Thus, they were also qualified to ascend the Dragon-Phoenix Stage.
Amongst those experts, Liu Yan was the most eye-catching one. However, ever since he appeared, his face was dark as he stood alone on a mountain peak. Boundless Spiritual Energy whistled around him, along with a terrifying killing intent that made others fearful.
However, his appearance caused people to start whispering to each other.
"It's said that when Liu Yan was fighting for a Dragon-Phoenix Pool, he was defeated by Mu Chen of the Great Heaven Domain … and that Dragon-Phoenix Pool was also snatched away by Mu Chen."
"Mu Chen?
That brat whose strength is only at Third Grade Sovereign? "
"That's him. Don't think that he's really a Third Grade Sovereign. Back then, when Mu Chen and Liu Yan fought, I was also present. That brat is definitely not ordinary. Even when Liu Yan executed his Sovereign Ability, he still couldn't suppress him."
"You really can't judge a book by its cover. No wonder the Great Heaven Domain would send him over."
"… …"
Hearing the whispers that filled the sky, Liu Yan's face couldn't help twitching. His face turned even darker as the killing intent around him grew denser.
Su Biyue and Hong Yu couldn't help casting a glance at Liu Yan, who had a dark expression on his face. They had naturally heard of this news, but they didn't believe it in the beginning. After all, Liu Yan's reputation was too great. Compared to him, Mu Chen was practically a nobody. If the two of them were to fight, the outcome would be obvious.
But in the end, the truth was completely different from what they had imagined. Liu Yan, who should have won, had failed in the Dragon-Phoenix Pool instead …
"That Mu Chen is actually so powerful."
There was no change in the expressions of the two girls, but they were shocked in their hearts. Back in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, they were only a little startled by the courage that Mu Chen had displayed. But no one had expected that not only did this youth with a cultivation of Third Grade Sovereign possess such courage, he even possessed the strength to match his courage.
Hong Yu and Su Biyue's gazes roamed, before suddenly narrowing. Their gazes suddenly shifted towards the two mountain peaks not far away. The space on the mountain peaks seemed to be a little distorted as two silhouettes appeared.
The appearance of the two silhouettes was extremely sudden. When they appeared, there wasn't any abnormal phenomenon. But it was precisely the soundless strangeness that caused the hearts of countless experts to tremble.
"That's …"
Countless gazes were directed over as exclamations of surprise resounded. Those experts that were emitting the aura of the Blood Essences of the Dragon and Phoenix all had a slight change in their faces as their gazes were filled with dense fear.
"That's … the second ranker of the Dragon-Phoenix Record, the Netherworld Prince, and the first ranker of the Divine Pavilion, Fang Yi!"
"They've finally appeared!"
The appearance of the two silhouettes caused innumerable exclamations. Compared to the other experts, these two figures were the heaviest.
Under the innumerable gazes, the two silhouettes stood on the mountain peak with their hands behind their backs. The black and white silhouettes seemed to be the most eye-catching colour in this region. Any expert would be a little dim under their radiance.
Amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region, the two of them could be considered as monumental figures. No genius could surpass them.
The entire region had turned quieter because of the appearance of the two silhouettes. It felt as if they were enveloped in their pressure.
Whoosh!
However, the solidified pressure did not last for long, before it was broken by the sudden whooshing of wind. Two silhouettes streaked across the horizon under the innumerable gazes.
Before one of the two silhouettes arrived, a clear and cold voice resounded in the sky.
"Sneaky scoundrel, you actually dare to show yourself? Did you really think that I can't take you down?"
When the clear voice resounded, there seemed to be a hand forming seals in that silhouette. Her finger pointed out and instantly, space was torn apart. A seven-coloured streak of light tore through the sky and swiftly streaked across the horizon.
Countless gazes looked towards the end of the seven-coloured streak of light and many experts inhaled a mouthful of chilled air. That's because they realised that the end of the seven-coloured streak of light was actually the first ranker of the Dragon-Phoenix Record, Fang Yi!
Just who was that person? To actually be so ferocious to make a move against Fang Yi the moment he appeared!
