Chapter 609: Divine Temple
As the crowd stepped into the Fallen Demon Domain, on the stone pillar peak where Lin Feng and the others had just been, only Xiao Ya remained, making it seem quite empty.
With Jun Moxi gone, many figures immediately flickered and landed on this empty stone pillar peak, their gazes looking down at the Fallen Demon Domain below.
Among those who stepped onto the peak, two people were particularly strange, as they both wore bronze masks, their faces unidentifiable.
"Po Jun, did you see Brother Feng?"
The burly man asked, his exposed eyes full of confusion. Just now, among those one hundred and forty-four young geniuses, there was no sign of Lin Feng's figure. They couldn't have been mistaken.
However, Lin Feng had risen to fame in Snow Moon, his reputation illustrious. He had indeed followed the envoys of Dragon Mountain Empire to Dragon Mountain Empire. They had been keeping an eye on news of Lin Feng, but now, Lin Feng was nowhere to be seen.
"I don't know." Po Jun's brow was also slightly furrowed, a faint sense of unease in his heart. If Lin Feng hadn't come to participate in the Snow Domain Grand Competition, there was only one possibility: something had happened.
"Given Brother Lin Feng's character, if he were here, he would definitely have joined the Snow Domain Grand Competition." Po Jun's eyes met Han Man's, both of their gazes filled with worry.
"You mean..." Han Man couldn't finish his sentence; he didn't dare to think about it.
"You two, are you looking for Lin Feng?" At that moment, a gentle voice sounded. Han Man and Po Jun turned around and saw a pair of clear eyes looking at them. It was a young girl.
"Yes, do you know Brother Feng?"
Han Man looked at Xiao Ya and asked quickly.
"Mm, the Lin Feng you're talking about, what are his characteristics?" Xiao Ya asked.
"Under twenty years old, handsome features, extraordinary talent, skilled in swords and fire, likes to wear white clothes." Han Man said urgently.
Hearing Han Man's words, Xiao Ya smiled. Brother Lin Feng had changed his face, so no wonder they didn't recognize him.
"Big brother has already gone in; you just didn't know." Xiao Ya giggled.
"Big brother?" Han Man and Po Jun's gazes both froze, looking at Xiao Ya in surprise.
"Mm." Xiao Ya nodded. "My name is Xiao Ya. The person you're looking for is now my big brother."
"Then why didn't we see Brother Feng just now?"
"Shh." Xiao Ya lowered her voice. "Big brother has offended many enemies; he went in disguised."
"No wonder." Han Man and Po Jun exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief. He had gone in disguised. Since Lin Feng was fine, they could rest assured.
Xiao Ya was just a girl, and her eyes were clear; she probably wouldn't lie to them.
At that moment, exclamations rang out from the crowd. Han Man and the others were startled and looked down toward the Fallen Demon Domain. Then their hearts suddenly trembled.
They saw the mysterious aura shrouding the Fallen Demon Domain gradually dissipate, as if the clouds were parting to reveal the sun, exposing the true face of the Fallen Demon Domain.
Vast heavenly and earthly space, mountains and rivers, forests and ancient temples, were distributed throughout the Fallen Demon Domain. The one hundred and forty-four geniuses who had entered appeared in different places within the domain. Many of them now stood still in contemplation, looking around with doubtful eyes.
Every move they made was clearly visible to the crowd.
However, above the Fallen Demon Domain, there was a layer of light waves, its purpose unknown.
"Look over there, big brother is there."
Xiao Ya pointed her finger at a certain location in the Fallen Demon Domain. Han Man and Po Jun followed her finger and saw a figure standing by the edge of a river, his gaze scanning the surrounding environment.
Lin Feng was deeply shocked at this moment. The moment he stepped into the Fallen Demon Domain, he felt all the power within him being suppressed—true essence power, Buddha-Demon power, and even physical strength.
First Layer of Profound Martial Realm. At this moment, he was only at the First Layer of Profound Martial Realm.
The Fallen Demon Domain, within the demon domain, everyone would fall, with no exceptions. This place was simply too terrifying.
Looking up, besides the mountains and rivers, Lin Feng also saw a few points of starlight. He counted them very carefully; there were one hundred and forty-three points in total.
One hundred and forty-four people had entered the Fallen Demon Domain. He saw one hundred and forty-three points of starlight. Lin Feng naturally understood what this meant: each point of starlight represented one person.
"Hmm?"
Just then, Lin Feng's gaze froze. He noticed that one point of starlight had disappeared, vanished into thin air. He was absolutely certain he hadn't seen wrong.
"Another one!" Lin Feng exclaimed inwardly. There were now one hundred and forty-one points of starlight left.
"It shouldn't be that they were killed and disappeared. Those starlights never even encountered each other, so how could they be killed?" Lin Feng guessed. Moreover, even if they were killed, the speed was far too fast; it was absolutely impossible.
"Rustle..."
A faint sound came out, as if water ripples were spreading. Lin Feng's brow furrowed slightly, and he looked toward the river beside him.
"Boom!"
A terrifying spray of water shot into the air. Lin Feng only saw a huge tail coiling toward him, carrying immense power.
Lin Feng's pupils contracted. He stomped his foot on the ground, and his body drifted back. Although his power was suppressed, his reaction speed could not be suppressed.
"Crack!"
A row of trees was instantly shattered by that huge tail. Lin Feng stopped his body and stared at the figure that had emerged from the river.
A demon beast—it was a pseudo-flood dragon, covered in fish scales, extremely ugly.
"In this Fallen Demon Domain, besides the geniuses who entered, there are also demon beasts."
Lin Feng stared at the demon beast for a moment, then turned and left this place. He clearly saw a point of starlight approaching this area.
Right now, Lin Feng didn't want to fight for his life with anyone.
His body flickered, and Lin Feng dashed through the Fallen Demon Domain, carefully observing the surrounding environment and those points of starlight.
Just then, not far ahead of Lin Feng, another point of starlight suddenly disappeared, vanishing without any warning.
"Could it be the work of a demon beast?"
Lin Feng frowned deeply, then stepped toward the place where the starlight had vanished. He wanted to see why the starlight had suddenly disappeared.
It wasn't far. Lin Feng quickly arrived at the spot where the starlight had vanished. Seeing the scene before him, Lin Feng's pupils trembled again.
Before his eyes stood an ethereal ancient temple, seemingly both real and illusory, its great doors tightly shut. In front of the temple, two clear floating characters were engraved: Divine Temple!
"Divine Temple?"
Lin Feng's brow furrowed tightly. What kind of place was the Fallen Demon Domain? An ancient temple dared to call itself Divine Temple? How arrogant.
The starlight that had just disappeared had probably entered the Divine Temple.
Looking closely, Lin Feng discovered that this temple vaguely took the shape of a sword, as if it were a sharp blade, very magical.
"In this Fallen Demon Domain, there are many Divine Temples."
Thinking of those starlights that had disappeared, Lin Feng suddenly understood. The reason those starlights had vanished was because they had entered Divine Temples.
"What exactly is this Divine Temple?"
Lin Feng did not enter immediately. Instead, he waited outside to see when the person inside the temple would come out.
He didn't have to wait long. The temple doors opened, and a figure walked out from inside. To Lin Feng's surprise, it was someone he knew: Yu Jian of the Yu Clan.
When they had stepped into the Fallen Demon Domain, a mysterious force had separated them all. Therefore, the Yu brothers, Yu Jian and Yu Qin, were not together, and neither knew where the other was.
Yu Jian also saw Lin Feng. He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes narrowed slightly, a cold smile appearing in his gaze.
"What a coincidence."
Yu Jian slowly stepped toward Lin Feng. In his hand, he held a sword, and the cold smile on his brow was so icy.
Lin Feng frowned, staring at Yu Jian. He did not retreat, just stood there.
Upon entering the Fallen Demon Domain, everyone's cultivation was at the First Layer of Profound Martial Realm, and all power was suppressed. Everyone was on the same starting point.
"A waste like you should have ceased to exist long ago. Now, let me send you on your way."
Yu Jian's foot suddenly stepped forward, killing intent bursting forth. An ethereal sword thrust came with pinpoint accuracy. Lin Feng only felt a flash of cold light, aimed at his heart.
"Sword technique!"
Lin Feng's pupils contracted. He finally knew what was inside the Divine Temple. The Divine Temple might contain techniques and martial skills!
