Chapter 1780: Entering the Ancient Hall
"A peculiar golden ancient path." Lin Feng walked along the golden ancient path, clearly sensing that this golden path was filled with array power. The entire ancient road was engraved with countless patterns. The Tian Yan Holy Clan's mastery in the Dao of Arrays could be said to have reached the pinnacle.
At this moment, many people suddenly cast their gazes toward Lin Feng, revealing a hint of surprise. They saw Lin Feng advancing step by step. With each step he took, the light patterns shifted, and the formations were dismantled, allowing him to continuously move deeper into the ancient path, layer by layer unraveling the formations contained within the road.
"This student from the War King Academy of Holy City Central Continent has some skill in the Dao of Arrays." The group from the Xiao Yao Academy stared at Lin Feng and his companions, watching as those beside Lin Feng were able to follow him inward, steadily advancing along the golden ancient path.
Yu Wenhou, Ji Wuyou, and the others also fixed their gazes on Lin Feng. This guy could actually walk on the golden ancient path.
"Follow him." Figures flickered as the Xiao Yao Academy members soared through the air, landing in the void behind Lin Feng and his group. This golden ancient path was peculiar—once all the formations were fully dismantled, the arrays would reconfigure. They were determined to follow Lin Feng before he completely broke through all the formations. If Lin Feng truly could break the arrays, they would charge in along with him in an instant.
Not only had the Xiao Yao Academy people followed, but Yu Wenhou and the others had also come along. Because Lin Feng had dismantled the formations ahead, they were able to stand unhindered above the golden ancient path.
Lin Feng, who was in the midst of breaking the formations, furrowed his brow slightly. He turned his head and swept a cold glance over the crowd in the void. These people were certainly trying to take advantage. If he broke the formation, they would likely not only rush into the ancient hall but might even attack him directly.
Seeing Lin Feng stop his movements, a cold gleam flashed in their pupils. Then, Lin Feng spat out a chilling voice: "All of you, retreat beyond the golden ancient path. Otherwise, I will not advance another step."
"Oh?" The crowd raised their eyebrows, cold light flickering.
"Arrogant brat. You break the formations, and we won't disturb you, yet you want us to retreat outside the ancient path?" A member of the Xiao Yao Academy said coldly, releasing a layer of chilling aura.
"Do you want to die right now?" Ji Wuyou's pupils turned icy, killing intent flashing, his voice domineering to the extreme.
"Scram." A cold gleam flashed in Lin Feng's pupils. Ji Wuyou's face turned extremely gloomy, and faint azure dragon light shimmered around him, dazzling and boundless. A surging, powerful aura burst forth from him, carrying a terrifying pressure.
"Presumptuous." A strong expert from the Xiao Yao Academy shouted coldly, stepping forward. He directly launched an attack, blasting it toward the crowd behind Lin Feng to teach them a lesson.
Lin Feng suddenly stomped his foot, trampling the ground. Terrifying light patterns rapidly coalesced into shape. Abruptly, a formidable light pattern lit up from the golden ancient path, breaking through the air and releasing a dreadful pressure.
"Boom!" The attack instantly shattered into pieces. The light patterns on the golden ancient path remained, killing intent spreading. Suddenly, it seemed as if terrifying golden blades were slashing down from the sky.
The Xiao Yao Academy disciple who had attacked in the void froze. How could this golden ancient path be so easily activated by Lin Feng to trigger the formations? His figure swiftly retreated through the air. Lin Feng sneered coldly and stomped his foot again, heavily. The spreading golden light transformed into a heavenly prison, abruptly binding the void and trapping him inside. This sight made the crowd's expressions change drastically.
"Slash!" Lin Feng roared angrily. This section of the golden ancient path lit up, turning into endless killing intent that directly slashed toward the prison in the void. The others, sensing the terrifying pressure, hastily retreated. The void exploded, and terrifying golden light burst apart in the space. The prison and the figure of the strong expert vanished into thin air, leaving only laws dissipating in the void.
Seeing this, the crowd's pupils contracted slightly, their expressions turning ugly. A strong expert close to the peak of a low-rank Martial Emperor had been killed by the formation in an instant.
"This golden ancient path is strange." The crowd stared at the path. The deeper it went, the more terrifying the formation's power became. Lin Feng, on the golden ancient path, moved like a fish in water, easily able to activate the formations and unleash their dreadful killing force. This was still the outer area; once Lin Feng continued forward, the power of the killing arrays would become even more fearsome.
"Scram." Lin Feng's cold gaze swept over Ji Wuyou and the others as he shouted.
"Arrogant bastard." Killing intent sharpened in everyone's eyes, especially Ji Wuyou's. Lin Feng had dared to look at him and tell him to scram—what a humiliating insult.
"Roar!" A rolling dragon roar suddenly erupted. Ji Wuyou's palm trembled violently, and in an instant, a terrifying azure dragon appeared in the void, carving a desolate ancient path through the air. It instantly swept toward Lin Feng and his group, intending to blast them. If this massive azure dragon struck Lin Feng and the others, they would likely be severely injured or killed.
Lin Feng continuously stepped forward. On the golden ancient path, a terrifying giant net appeared, abruptly enveloping the massive azure dragon shadow in the void. Then, a dreadful tearing light burst forth. The azure dragon split into four parts, with illusory drops of blood splattering everywhere.
"The Ji Clan's Azure Dragon Totem is indeed formidable, making their souls and bodies as strong as an azure dragon's," the crowd sighed inwardly. However, the killing power within this golden ancient path was even more terrifying. The violent azure dragon attack was torn apart in an instant.
Terrifying golden radiance surged into the sky once more. Ji Wuyou and the others all explosively retreated, simultaneously waving and trembling their arms. A series of azure dragon ancient seals blasted out, splitting the heavens and cracking the earth, causing the void to roar and tremble incessantly. The golden radiance rushing toward the sky seemed to be blocked.
Lin Feng kept stepping forward, and the golden ancient path he had dismantled also lit up with brilliant golden light. This sight made the strong experts in the void pause, all of them retreating in a rolling wave. In the blink of an eye, they had reached the outer edge of the golden ancient path, staring at Lin Feng with cold light flashing in their eyes.
Lin Feng coldly swept his gaze over those people, then turned around and continued slowly dismantling the formations on the golden ancient path, moving deeper inward.
"The deeper the golden ancient path, the stronger the formation's pressure. The power Lin Feng can wield will likely become even more terrifying. We can't get any closer." Yu Wenhou and the others thought to themselves. They all stood at the edge of the path, watching Lin Feng. If Lin Feng truly could break through the formations contained in the golden ancient path, they would charge in instantly.
As Lin Feng continued forward, many people fixed their gazes on this golden ancient path. Especially those who were masters of formations—they too had noticed some clues. The golden ancient path Lin Feng had first stepped onto was the one the Guang Han Palace had dismantled. The nine paths had shifted, because they sensed that the array patterns beneath their own feet had also changed. What they needed to do now was to see clearly how Lin Feng broke the formations, so they could later find this golden ancient path and start from it.
"He might actually be able to break the formation." The crowd saw Lin Feng still advancing, already deep into the golden ancient path. If he continued like this, it probably wouldn't take long for him to reach the end of the golden ancient path and open the ancient hall.
"Get ready." Yu Wenhou and the others all stared at Lin Feng's figure, gathering their aura, ready to charge in at any moment.
After some more time, Lin Feng finally reached the end. A vast, surging aura rolled out. A cold smile flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. Then, his feet continuously trembled, and the entire golden ancient path suddenly lit up, radiant and dazzling. A monstrous killing intent erupted wildly, causing the crowd's pupils to contract sharply.
"Go!" Figures surged like a tide, rushing toward Lin Feng. But the dreadful killing intent completely drowned the ancient path. A rumbling sound echoed as the ancient hall's door opened. Lin Feng and his group flickered rapidly, stepping into the ancient path.
"Get out of the way!" A terrifying palm print suddenly blasted out. Those closest to the entrance of the ancient hall had their bodies tremble violently, then were swallowed by the killing power from below.
"Scram!" Just as someone tried to step forward, another person attacked from the side. Everyone wanted to seize the path, fighting for this slim opportunity. The attacks and the killing arrays intertwined, causing the void to churn wildly. Ripples began to spread, and the golden ancient path shifted its luster once more.
"Not good, retreat!" A furious shout rang out. The crowd rapidly withdrew backward. However, some still pressed forward, only to be instantly swallowed and killed by the ancient path's formations, leaving no trace behind.
"Damn it!" The crowd's faces turned ugly as they watched Lin Feng and his group vanish. They had all entered the ancient hall, but the golden ancient path had closed again, and the ancient hall's door had shut once more, sealing everyone else outside.
"The golden ancient path has shifted. Quickly find where that path went." A formation master spoke up, preparing to follow the footsteps of the Guang Han Palace and Lin Feng. Using that golden ancient path as an entry point, they could step into the ancient hall. Lin Feng had been the first to discover this, so after the Guang Han Palace, they became the second group to enter the ancient hall.
"Yes, as long as we can find that path, I have a way to get in." An old man spoke. He had been staring at the light patterns beneath Lin Feng's feet the entire time, engraving them with his divine sense power.
