Chapter 2434: Chapter 2423: Stone Giants Falling from the Sky
Ye Chenfeng exited the stone chamber.
He saw that Chou Kangrong’s body had directly turned into ashes?
Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?
After all, Chou Kangrong was a strong warrior in the Mid Divine Honor Realm!
The flames and energy erupting from these stone men were too formidable, leaving Chou Kangrong without even a chance to struggle!
Ye Chenfeng took a deep breath. If he had been in the chamber just now, if he had faced the attack of those intense flames and extreme energy, he probably wouldn’t have been able to withstand it. Even though he harbored the Heaven and Earth Flame, Green Flame, within him, the current temperature of the Green Flame wasn’t powerful enough to withstand such flames and extreme energy.
Perhaps under such an attack, the Green Flame would instantaneously vanish from this world.
Fortunately, Old Black had warned him in time, in such a sudden circumstance, he might not have had even time to enter the Chaos Ring’s small world.
After Chou Kangrong turned to ashes.
The entire stone chamber returned to tranquility, and the eyes of the stone men on both sides emitting red light dimmed.
Standing at the entrance of the stone chamber, Ye Chenfeng carefully observed the interior.
Soon.
He discovered that the floor of the stone chamber was divided into grids, making the whole chamber like a gigantic chessboard.
Old White Wu Fengxian and Old Black Jiang Yuntian also noticed this.
Old White said, "Little guy, there’s a hidden mechanism in this stone chamber. As long as you don’t touch the fiery red crystals in the stone men’s hands, there shouldn’t be much change in those stone men on either side."
This has just been proven on Chou Kangrong.
Chou Kangrong had indeed touched the fiery red crystals in the stone men’s hands, causing the mutation on both sides.
Ye Chenfeng stepped into the stone chamber again, trying to avoid the stone men on both sides and not standing directly in front of them.
He looked at the grids on the ground.
The stone men on both sides were all standing within the grids.
After a while of observation, Old Black said, "Kid, it’s likely there’s a chessboard mechanism here."
"Try pushing the stone man from behind, just don’t touch the fiery red crystals in their hands, and be prepared to enter the small world at any time."
After hearing Old Black’s words.
Ye Chenfeng walked behind the stone men on the right side and started slowly pushing one of the stone men forward from behind.
The stone men here could indeed be pushed.
His nerves remained tense, constantly monitoring the changes of other stone men, and ready to enter the small world at any moment.
Finally, he pushed the stone man forward by one grid.
After pushing a stone man on the right side one grid forward.
The entire stone chamber suddenly trembled.
Feeling this, Ye Chenfeng immediately entered the small world.
However, he continued to sense the changes within the stone chamber.
As soon as Ye Chenfeng pushed the stone man on the right forward by one grid, the stone men on the left maintained their original color, while the stone men on the right turned completely black.
The stone men, differentiated by color, quickly began to move independently within the stone chamber.
Each stone man transformed into a chess piece on the chessboard, quickly repositioning themselves within the stone chamber.
A standoff was formed on the gigantic chessboard of the stone chamber’s floor.
Apart from this change, there were no other alterations.
Sensing this in the small world, Ye Chenfeng returned to the stone chamber and looked at the standoff formed by the stone men on both sides.
Old White Wu Fengxian said, "There’s likely something hidden in this stone chamber. It seems only by solving this standoff can the mechanism here be triggered. However, what result will it yield once unveiled?"
"You’ve pushed the stone men on the right, making them all black. You seem to be playing with black pieces. This standoff might be extremely difficult for many people in this era to solve, but for me, it’s not very challenging—I’ve seen this game and solved it before."
"Nonetheless, are you going to solve this standoff now to trigger the hidden mechanism here?"
Ye Chenfeng was silent for two seconds and then said, "Old White, since we’re here, let’s try solving it. I’ll be ready to enter the small world at any time."
Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s decision.
Old White Wu Fengxian said, "Little guy, move the second black stone man on the right one grid forward."
After Ye Chenfeng moved the second black stone man on the right.
The other colored stone men also moved on their own.
"Move the third black stone man on the left one grid to the right."
"Move the black stone man directly in front of you one grid forward."
...
As Old White Wu Fengxian explained how to solve the standoff, Ye Chenfeng followed his instructions completely.
Finally, the black stone men Ye Chenfeng controlled won, and the standoff was instantaneously resolved.
After the standoff was solved.
A gap leading to the bottom appeared in the center of the stone chamber’s floor.
Meanwhile.
Outside.
Upon entering here.
The square where all cultivators were gathering.
As Ye Chenfeng resolved the standoff in the stone chamber.
Each cultivator entering here began surveying the square and this domain attentively upon arriving, rather than heading to other places immediately.
Of course, the Ghost Venerable with his face hidden in a hood had also yet to leave this square.
Due to the increasing commotion above the Wind Sword Palace, more cultivators aware of it or drawn by it gathered here.
Suddenly.
A pulsating layer spread across the fiery sky, resembling flowing blood.
The fiery sky warped continuously.
Dots of light appeared ceaselessly from the sky, rapidly descending towards the ground.
As they drew closer.
The dots of light enlarged in the cultivators’ sight on the square; gradually they discerned the features of these lights.
Descending from the sky were giant fiery red stone men.
These fiery red stone men differed from those Ye Chenfeng saw in the stone chamber; each one had a ferocious visage, like fierce spirits from Hell.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" echoed persistently.
Every fiery red stone man descended from the sky landed on the ground eventually.
Cracks and pits constantly appeared across the square’s surface.
The cultivators initially intending to leave the square halted upon witnessing this change, observing the fierce-looking fiery red stone men, which seemed otherwise unremarkable.
Among these cultivators, some, driven by curiosity, began approaching the fiery red stone men to examine them closely.
