Dragon Phoenix Platform

Dragon Phoenix Region was the most central and important area within Dragon Phoenix Heaven, for the Dragon Phoenix Platform, said to hold the inheritance of the True Dragon and True Phoenix, was located here.

Unlike the other regions of Dragon Phoenix Heaven, which were filled with strange beasts, not a single strange beast dared remain here. This was where the True Dragon and True Phoenix had truly fallen long ago. Even after countless years, the lingering pressure still kept those strange beasts that had absorbed dragon and phoenix Essence Blood from approaching lightly.

Thus, in the past, this region had almost always been steeped in deathly silence. Even the sound of wind had quietly vanished beneath the pressure shrouding this place, making it seem like a land of death.

However, that silence was clearly gone now. In its place rose a sky-piercing clamor. Within this world permeated by ancient auras, countless streaks of light flooded in from every direction, filling the sky and ground like locusts. Their uproar completely shattered the original silence of the place. These figures were naturally the many young powerhouses who had arrived at the Dragon Phoenix Platform. Though they had encountered danger while traveling through Dragon Phoenix Heaven, they had also gained their share of rewards. Now that they had all gathered here, they clearly understood that a world-shaking struggle would soon erupt.

As time passed, the number of powerhouses gathering here surged at an astonishing rate. Their combined clamor formed soundwaves that shot into the sky, even stirring the thick clouds overhead.

Whoosh!

When the number of people in this region had reached an astonishing level, powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations suddenly erupted from the distant horizon. Immediately afterward, a streak of light shot across the sky like a meteor and, before countless astonished gazes, landed directly atop a massive solitary peak.

Boom! The figure's feet struck the lone peak, and enormous cracks immediately spread out from beneath them. Within only a few breaths, they had covered the entire mountain, causing the solitary peak to tremble as if it could collapse at any moment. As the light atop the mountain faded, a towering figure five or six zhang tall appeared. He wore heavy armor and carried a giant axe. A fierce aura swept outward from him, like an ancient Wilderness giant, imposing beyond compare.

"That's Ding Xuan of the Giant Spirit Clan!"

The moment he appeared, waves of commotion erupted throughout the area. Clearly, he was no unknown figure. On the contrary, he possessed quite a reputation in the Northern Realm.

"I heard Ding Xuan also obtained a Dragon Phoenix Pool and cultivated a Pseudo Dragon Body. The Giant Spirit Clan already excels in physical combat, and with the Pseudo Dragon Body added to that, he is even more formidable. It seems his rank on the Dragon Phoenix Rankings will have to rise this time."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Just as the many powerhouses of this world were stirred by the appearance of someone as formidable as Ding Xuan, successive sounds of rushing wind rang out from the distant sky. Along with them came astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuations.

Swish!

Two streaks of light shot over from afar, one after the other. They then suddenly crossed in midair, and powerful streams of Spiritual Energy swept forth and collided head-on. Spiritual Energy fluctuations raged outward as both figures were sent flying back, eventually landing atop separate mountain peaks.

They were none other than the two great beauties of Dragon Phoenix Heaven.

Suddenly, the two beauties locked in a razor-tongued confrontation narrowed their eyes and turned their gazes toward a nearby mountain peak. The space above its summit seemed to twist, and three figures emerged.

The three figures had appeared with extreme abruptness. Their arrival caused no disturbance at all, yet that silent strangeness made the hearts of countless powerhouses present tighten.

"That is..." Countless gazes shot over, followed by low cries of alarm. Those powerhouses whose bodies emitted the scent of dragon and phoenix Essence Blood all changed expression, their faces filled with deep wariness.

"It's them!" "They've finally appeared!" The arrival of those three figures drew countless shocked cries. Compared with the other powerhouses, these two were the true heavyweights.

Under the focus of countless gazes, the leading figures stood atop the mountain peak, becoming the most conspicuous presence in this world. The entire world seemed to quiet somewhat because of the appearance of those two leading figures, as if everyone had been enveloped by their oppressive presence.

There was no helping it. One was Fang Yi, who had suppressed and slain the top-ranked expert of the Dragon Phoenix Ranking. The other had an immense connection with the legendary Flame Emperor.

No one present could afford to offend either of them.

As for Mu Chen, no one's gaze even fell upon him.

He was merely a lucky fellow.

The atmosphere between heaven and earth became quiet and strange. Everyone could sense the undercurrents surging between these top-tier powerhouses, but none of them started fighting here. They were all waiting for the Dragon Phoenix Platform to appear...

Once they ascended the Dragon Phoenix Platform, the earth-shaking battle would likely erupt with extreme brutality.

Feeling the almost frozen atmosphere, Mu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and quietly circulated the Spiritual Energy within his body. Beneath that calm atmosphere, he could smell the approaching storm.

The stagnant atmosphere continued. When nearly half an hour had passed, Mu Chen's gaze suddenly sharpened. At the same moment, Su Biyue, the Netherworld Prince, and the others all looked toward the sky. The space there had somehow begun to twist violently, and an extremely ancient aura faintly spread from within the distorted space.

Roar!

Ancient Dragon's roars and Phoenix's cries pierced through time and space. Countless people's eyes widened abruptly as an ancient stone platform with no visible end slowly emerged from the twisted space.

Beneath the ancient stone platform, enormous True Dragons and True Phoenixes coiled together to support it. Their heads and tails joined, forming a layered golden platform! Countless eyes turned red. The Dragon Phoenix Platform had finally appeared!

Buzz! The enormous stone platform, brilliant like gold, slowly emerged from the distorted and turbulent space. Its size was so vast that one could not see its end with a single glance.

The upper reaches of the Dragon Phoenix Platform were obscured by thick clouds. Only flashes of golden light could vaguely be seen, but the pressure descending from above made countless powerhouses struggle to breathe.

The oppressive aura emanating from the Dragon Phoenix Platform was simply too powerful.

Yet despite that overwhelming pressure, every powerhouse stared fervently at the Dragon Phoenix Platform floating above the nine heavens, their eyes filled with greed. It was said that the inheritance left behind by the True Dragon and True Phoenix lay at the summit of the Dragon Phoenix Platform. Such temptation was enough to drive any Sovereign powerhouse mad.

"So that is the Dragon Phoenix Platform?"

Mu Chen also raised his head, staring intently at the ancient stone platform. He could feel the blood within his body accelerating. It seemed to have been drawn by some powerful attraction, as though something atop the Dragon Phoenix Platform could make it even more perfect.

"The Dragon Phoenix Platform has appeared!"

The silence lasted for a while before ecstatic cries finally rang out. Immediately afterward, the sound of rushing wind erupted. Streaks of light soared from the ground, sweeping toward the Dragon Phoenix Platform high in the nine heavens. Many of these people had not obtained dragon and phoenix Essence Blood, but they still harbored a trace of hope. The Dragon Phoenix Platform was right before them. No matter what, they had to try.

"They don't know their limits."

Seeing this, Xiao Chen shrugged and spoke to the two people beside him.

"Let's move too!"

With that, he took the lead in shooting toward the heavens, turning into a streak of light as he raced toward the Dragon Phoenix Platform.

At the same time the three of them moved, the Netherworld Prince, Su Biyue, and the others also burst forth from several other mountain peaks, racing toward the Dragon Phoenix Platform without the slightest delay. On the earth filled with lamenting voices, countless powerhouses watched these extraordinary figures set out with longing eyes and could only sigh bitterly. It seemed they truly had no qualifications to covet the Dragon Phoenix Platform. Still, the one consolation was that an earth-shattering and brutal battle would inevitably erupt atop the Dragon Phoenix Platform. It would represent the pinnacle clash among the younger generation of the Northern Realm!

Whoosh! As the three approached the Dragon Phoenix Platform, golden light spread toward them, and an extremely heavy pressure immediately descended. Even the air seemed to solidify here, becoming like invisible walls.

Yet that pressure did not hinder anyone in the slightest.

At that moment, faint golden light bloomed over the surfaces of their bodies. The feeling of stagnation immediately vanished completely. Not only were they unobstructed, but like fish entering water, their speed surged explosively. In a flash, they ascended the ancient and majestic Dragon Phoenix Platform.

Xiao Chen's feet landed on the stone platform. It felt cold and solid beneath him. He raised his gaze and swept it around, only to see that the ground seemed to be formed from dense golden dragon scales, indestructible and unbreakable. Looking higher, enormous golden feathered wings unfolded layer by layer above the vast stone platform. Each layer of golden wings formed another tier of stone platform, extending upward until they disappeared into the thick clouds.

Swish! Light flickered across the Dragon Phoenix Platform as figure after figure appeared. However, the people who arrived on the platform all cautiously pulled away from one another, remaining on guard.

He lowered his eyes to look at the increasingly blazing Space Mark in his hand.

It seems it is time to leave. Xiao Chen sighed inwardly.
