Hiss!
Everyone took a sharp intake of breath, their faces filled with shock as they incredulously watched the Python Robed Youth.
Could this person be so formidable?
A middle-aged man at the First Layer of the True Xuan Realm was actually slain by a single strike of his blade, with no chance to counterattack.
"I’ve already said it, those who dare to fight over this will be shown no rcy; this man serves as an example!"
The Python Robed Youth’s eyes were frosty, as he arrogantly said while holding a black long blade in hand: "If anyone disbelieves, feel free to test the blade in my Xuan Feng’s hands."
The Python Robed Youth looked down upon the crowd with a gaze of superiority, showing no regard for anyone present.
"What? Xuan Feng, is he from Heavenly Spirit Sect’s Luotian Peak?"
"Xuan Feng is a genius on the Thousand Pride List of the East Continent, ranked nine hundred and seventy-six!"
"To think he’s a genius from the Thousand Pride List!"
Upon hearing the Python Robed Youth announce his na, everyone’s hearts shook instantly. The might of a genius from the Thousand Pride List was known to almost no one; they were all monstrous talents, a group of unrivaled prodigies!
Suddenly, everyone was actually subdued by the reputation of Xuan Feng!
Xuan Feng swept his gaze around, a trace of contempt in his eyes—as far as he was concerned, these people were nothing more than ants that he could easily exterminate.
Lin Feng and Hong Qingxuan stood at the back of the crowd, their expressions slightly tightened upon hearing the revelation—it was soone from Luotian Peak, and moreover, a genius from the Thousand Pride List.
A genius from the Thousand Pride List, all possessing True Xuan Realm cultivation, each with combat power defying the heavens. Although this person was only ranked in the nine hundreds of the list, he presumably had the cultivation of at least the Third Layer, if not the Fourth Layer of the True Xuan Realm.
While Lin Feng was contemplating, the rock wall in front suddenly let out a thunderous boom, and imdiately the rock wall distorted, instantly forming a dark vortex.
The vortex wasn’t large, asuring only about thirty feet in diater. As soon as it appeared, an ancient breath emanated from within.
"Quickly, get in there!" Xuan Feng imdiately turned his head and shouted at the people beside him—these one hundred plus people were all disciples of Luotian Peak.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Before Xuan Feng’s voice had faded, those disciples from Luotian Peak began to act, transforming into streaks of light and rushing into the vortex.
The rest had unsightly expressions but no one dared to advance further, with Xuan Feng blocking the way; whoever took the lead would face death.
Lin Feng’s expression also wasn’t good, but with the strength of the other party being too great, he had no way to deal with it.
Now, all he could hope for was that after the others had entered, the entrance wouldn’t disappear.
Within half a breath’s ti, all the disciples of Luotian Peak had entered the vortex, Xuan Feng chuckled lightly, his figure turned, and instantly entered the vortex.
"Charge!"
Once Xuan Feng left, the remaining crowd imdiately went into a frenzy, desperately surging toward the vortex.
Swish!
Lin Feng swung his arm, a wave of qi picking up Hong Qingxuan, and then he too, like a flash of lightning, instantly dashed toward the vortex.
Hong Qingxuan’s speed was much slower than Lin Feng’s, which is why Lin Feng had taken her along.
However, despite Lin Feng’s speed, the others weren’t slow either, and since Lin Feng was at the back, he simply couldn’t break through in half a breath’s ti.
Once the ti passed, the entrance would close, and then he would have to wait another half-an-hour.
"Devour!" Lin Feng shouted lowly, imdiately invoking the power of the Demon Dragon Star, the Devouring Power instantly enveloping everything around.
As soon as the Devouring Power was released, so who were below the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Martial Master found their movents hindered, greatly affected. At this mont, even an instant as short as the blink of an eye could an missing the chance.
"What’s going on?"
"Who the hell is ssing around?"
"No good!"
The crowd instantly beca panicked, with shouts of anger incessant.
Lin Feng’s speed did not decrease, he directly knocked so people aside, enveloping Hong Qingxuan and instantly disappearing into the vortex.
...
Lin Feng and Hong Qingxuan entered the vortex and imdiately felt the scenery change before their eyes, appearing in a huge cave.
With Lin Feng, there were many others who ca in, but after a bare half-breath, no more people entered, presumably the entrance outside had already closed.
The cave was filled with dense spiritual energy, devoid of any lakes, and its deep recesses unknown.
"Brother Lin Feng, this may be the cave mansion of so powerful entity," Hong Qingxuan said softly.
"Alright, let’s go!" Lin Feng nodded, and imdiately the two of them flew towards the depths of the cave, with the others not far behind, all hastening towards the depths.
After flying for about a dozen breaths, a vast space appeared ahead, like a small square, its ground paved with white jade, flickering with a misty white light, exuding a sense of luxury.
The square was surrounded on all sides, including the top, by bluish-purple rocks that shone with faint array lights, obviously indicating an array spread throughout the place.
And on one of the smooth, mirror-like rock walls, there erged a fiery red vortex about ten feet in diater, and not just that, above this rock wall there was a large expanse of illusory images, in which it seed there were faint human figures flickering.
At this mont, the small square was crowded with a large number of martial artists. Lin Feng casually estimated that there were no fewer than five thousand people, and Xuan Feng and others were also present.
Most of the thousands of people were gathered under that mirror-smooth rock wall, while a few were clustered at the center of the square.
In the center of the square stood a huge stone tablet, three zhang tall, with a handful of martial artists gathered around it, looking at sothing.
Lin Feng and Hong Qingxuan imdiately flew to the square and arrived at the stone tablet to start looking themselves.
The tablet was inscribed with many ancient characters, with a desolate and simple stroke, yet also exuding a majestic aura.
"Qingxuan, what does this say?" Lin Feng could not understand at all and could only look to Hong Qingxuan for help.
Hong Qingxuan couldn’t help but smile at his question; she hadn’t expected Lin Feng, with his incredible talent, to not even recognize these characters!
"Brother Lin Feng, let read it to you!"
Hong Qingxuan chuckled and slowly began to read, "This old man, Ou Lianzi, has been devoted to the path of artifact refining since childhood. After spending five hundred years, I beca an emperor level upper grade artifact refining master. However, with a great calamity approaching, I left behind my lifeti of artifact refining techniques for those destined to inherit them. Whoever passes the three trials of the ’Refining Fire Path’ will inherit all that I have learned in my life."
After reading, Hong Qingxuan smiled and said, "Brother Lin Feng, this turns out to be the cave mansion of an artifact refining master, who left behind an artifact refining inheritance here."
"Hmm!" Lin Feng nodded. Artifact Refining Inheritance? This was beyond his expectations; he had thought it was the mountain gate of so ancient force.
Lin Feng had never considered refining artifacts, but the learning of an emperor level upper grade artifact refining master was an invaluable treasure that could drive countless artifact refiners insane. Even though he didn’t plan on refining, the thought still greatly excited him.
"Let’s go and have a look over there!"
Lin Feng cast his gaze towards the rock wall that the crowd was observing, then walked over with Hong Qingxuan.
Upon reaching the foot of the rock wall, Lin Feng clearly saw that the images above the fiery red vortex were actually martial artists fighting.
In the image, there were eighteen martial artists, each fighting independently, and all their opponents were the sa: nurous fire creatures.
In the image, so were overwhelming, making the fire creatures retreat in defeat, while others were in grave danger, completely no match for the fire creatures.
"Haha! Soone’s about to co out again!"
"Up to now, only a few people have passed the first challenge, right?"
"The first challenge is actually a test of combat strength; artifact refiners also need to test for combat strength?"
"The difficulty of this first challenge is ridiculously high; who knows what the second challenge is?
..."
From among the onlookers, a constant stream of discussion could be heard.
Listening to the crowd’s discussions, Lin Feng imdiately understood that this fiery vortex was the so-called ’Refining Fire Path.’ To receive Ou Lianzi’s artifact refining inheritance, one must enter within the Refining Fire Path.
The first trial within the Refining Fire Path was a test of combat strength, battling against the fire creatures.
The fire creatures were divided into three groups, thirty-six individuals each; the first group was of the sa level as the challenger, the second group was one level higher in cultivation, and the third group was two levels higher.
However, the Refining Fire Path could only test eighteen warriors at a ti; others could enter again only if there was soone who passed or was eliminated.
And out of the thousands of people here, a good half had already failed the trials and could no longer enter.
Whoosh!
At this mont, a figure from within the Refining Fire Path was flung out, covered in dust and looking completely disheveled, falling onto the square.
Whoosh!
