Chapter 592: Heroic Spirit
"Whoosh..."
Just as Lin Feng was observing whether the people from the Imperial City had arrived, a terrifying whistling sound came from the distant sky.
Lifting his gaze, a mass of pitch-black light flickered, causing his eyes to narrow.
Baleful aura, such a heavy baleful aura. Looking at that black light from afar, Lin Feng felt as if the baleful aura could affect one's mind.
Many people raised their heads to look in that direction, their eyes slightly frozen. This baleful aura, surging to the heavens, was indeed too powerful.
"A coffin, it's a coffin."
The pitch-black clouds gradually dispersed, revealing the true form within, causing the crowd's pupils to tremble violently. What the black clouds shrouded was an enormous coffin.
"The people from Black Feather Empire and Heavenly Fiend Sect have arrived."
Many people's pupils contracted as they muttered to themselves. The coffin was the symbol of Heavenly Fiend Sect. Clearly, the people from Heavenly Fiend Sect had arrived, and the people from Black Feather Empire were probably about to arrive as well.
"Heavenly Fiend Sect, we meet again."
Lin Feng murmured to himself. Back when they were competing for the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron in Tianluo Ancient City, people from Heavenly Fiend Sect had traveled thousands of miles from Black Feather Empire to Snow Moon Tianluo Ancient City. All of them traveled by coffin, extremely eerie, with baleful aura surging to the heavens.
The coffin in the sky flew to the top of the square, then stopped spinning wildly and began to descend.
"Boom!"
A terrifying sound rang out as the coffin slammed heavily onto the square. The crowd's gazes were all drawn to it. However, after the coffin hit the ground, there was no more movement, only baleful aura swirling around it.
"Brother Blood Fiend, since you've arrived first, why are you still hiding inside? You're neither human nor ghost."
From the distant void, a voice came from afar. The crowd looked up and saw a gaunt figure walking slowly through the air. But his seemingly slow steps crossed a thousand meters each time, and in an instant, he descended above the crowd.
"What a strange person."
The crowd's eyes contracted. This person who appeared was filled with a withered, deathly aura, as if a tree were about to wither.
Also, he had just called the person in the coffin: Blood Fiend!
Black Feather Empire, Heavenly Fiend Sect's strongest disciple, Blood Fiend.
Then this person in the void was Withered Demon Eye, Withered Wood!
Thinking of this, many people turned their gazes to his eyes—withered, deathly, as if even the breath of life was absent. This pair of pupils made people dare not look directly.
His eyes swept over the crowd. Wherever they landed, that person would immediately feel a withered, deathly aura enveloping them, as if their life force was about to wither away.
"Crack..."
A soft sound rang out, causing the crowd's hearts to tremble slightly.
"Crack, crack..."
The coffin on the square slowly opened. The crowd seemed to hold their breath, staring at the coffin. Heavenly Fiend Sect's Blood Fiend—no one knew what kind of person he would be.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, an explosive sound rang out, startling the crowd's hearts. Terrifying baleful aura surged into the sky. The center of the square was completely shrouded in black baleful aura. Finally, as the baleful aura gradually dissipated, a young figure appeared there.
He was a rather handsome young man, but that handsomeness was tinged with demonic and baleful aura.
His pupils were also extremely terrifying, tinged with blood.
"Heavenly Fiend Sect's Blood Fiend, Withered Demon Eye's Withered Wood."
On the side of Yulan Empire, two figures stepped forward—a man and a woman. The man carried seven ancient swords on his back, Seven Emotions Sword Ling Xiao, while the woman carried an ancient zither on her back, Six Desires Zither Yu Xiaoxiao.
Each of them was a genius, the most dazzling geniuses.
Seeing Blood Fiend and Withered Wood, Ling Xiao and Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but step forward.
Jun Moxi, on the other hand, was quite calm, standing on one side of the square, not confronting those people.
The whistling wind was extremely fierce, drifting into the crowd's ears. The sunlight was blocked, and many coffins appeared in the sky, all filled with terrifying baleful aura. The people of Heavenly Fiend Sect had followed Blood Fiend.
Moreover, behind these coffins, there was a large crowd riding demonic beasts. The people of Black Feather Empire had descended upon Mysterious City.
Dragon Mountain Empire, Yulan Empire, and Black Feather Empire had all arrived one after another. Next, only Cang Tian Empire remained.
"It is said that Cang Tian Empire's Imperial Mausoleum possesses Cang Tian Blood, with boundless strength that no one can resist. He is the most acclaimed person in this Snow Domain Grand Competition. I wonder what kind of dazzling figure he is."
Someone whispered. Cang Tian Blood Imperial Mausoleum shook Cang Tian Empire. Even many people from other countries had heard of his fame—extremely formidable.
"And Gossip Eye Yu Mo, it is said his strength is also terrifying. He is one of the eight strongest candidates for this Snow Domain Grand Competition. Now, we just wait for the two of them."
Although the Snow Domain Grand Competition had not yet started, many people stayed around the square, their hearts surging with excitement.
They finally had the chance to see the most dazzling figures of the four empires. Especially these eight people—they were truly top-tier geniuses, famous throughout the entire Snow Domain. It could be said that these eight people were destined to leave the Snow Domain, even become powerhouses of the Nine Heavens Continent, pursuing the path of supreme martial arts, striving for the seat of Venerable One.
Such towering figures of the future—they would soon witness them.
Lin Feng had not left either. His gaze swept over the figures standing on the stage, his eyes flashing with sharp light.
These people were true geniuses. In his heart, a desire arose, a heroic spirit. He wanted to compete with these people. Why should they stand on the stage, receiving the attention and admiration of the masses, while he, Lin Feng, had to stand below the stage, unknown and unrecognized, even disguising himself to avoid pursuit?
Duan Wudao was renowned alongside these people, listed as one of the eight strongest youths of the Snow Domain. Back in Snow Moon Kingdom, Lin Feng had no idea about this. Only after truly stepping out did he realize Duan Wudao's terrifying influence. Not only in the suzerain state of Dragon Mountain Empire, but even in many other countries of the Snow Domain, people knew Duan Wudao's fame.
He, Lin Feng, was determined to trample Duan Wudao underfoot. But now, Duan Wudao was famous throughout Snow Moon, while he remained unknown. Lin Feng still had a path to walk—the path of the strong.
At that moment, at one of the entrances to Mysterious City, two galloping horses entered the city.
These two horses were entirely red, like blood. The riders were covered in dust, wearing light armor, and on their faces were bronze masks, making them appear especially fierce and conspicuous.
"Snow Domain Mysterious City, we've arrived. I wonder if Brother Feng has come with the people from Dragon Mountain Empire."
The sturdy man looked at the bustling crowd in Mysterious City, a hint of excitement in his eyes. They had ridden Crimson Blood horses for a month, traveling day and night, finally rushing from Snow Moon Kingdom to this Snow Domain Mysterious City. Fortunately, they weren't late—the Snow Domain Grand Competition hadn't started yet.
"He should have arrived by now," the other person's voice was somewhat steady, his gaze sweeping over the crowd from beneath the bronze mask.
"In Snow Domain Mysterious City, whether locals or outsiders, there are probably no weaklings. High-level Spirit Martial Realm is already considered very strong in our Snow Moon, and Mysterious Martial Realm are truly formidable powerhouses. But here, Spirit Martial Realm are as common as oxen, and Mysterious Martial Realm are everywhere on the streets."
"Yes, Han Man. Although we've also stepped into Mysterious Martial Realm, we're nothing here."
"Haha, Po Jun, this is exactly what I wanted to see. The general sent us here probably to make us understand. With so many powerhouses, we will be filled with desire and become stronger. I wonder how strong Brother Feng is now. Participating in the Snow Domain Grand Competition, he must be at least mid-level Mysterious Martial Realm, right?" Han Man laughed heartily.
After traveling thousands of miles, they had finally arrived at Snow Domain Mysterious City. Liu Canglan had sent them, and they also wanted to see Lin Feng, as well as broaden their horizons and gain experience.
What Liu Canglan had told them made deep sense. Don't be a frog at the bottom of a well. This continent was too vast. Stepping out was hope.
Cowering in Snow Moon would never lead to a way out. They would never see how vast the outside world was, nor how terrifyingly powerful other experts were.
"Let's go, let's find Brother Feng."
"Giddyup..."
The sound of horse hooves was like thunder. The Crimson Blood horses sped like the wind along a main road in Mysterious City, galloping forward.
