Chapter 2435: Chapter 2424: Tragic and Fierce
After a gap leading underground appeared on the ground in the center of the stone room.
Ye Chenfeng carefully walked down into the gap.
As he stepped onto the staircase within the gap.
Glowing crystal stones lit up on all the walls on either side of the stairs; white crystal stones used for illumination were embedded in the stone walls.
Ye Chenfeng continued to walk down the stairs.
He encountered no danger along the way.
After reaching the bottom of the stairs, Ye Chenfeng found himself in a room.
The room was fully furnished.
Besides the stairs leading down from above, there seemed to be no other exits seen here.
All the decor in the room was carved from stone.
On one stone table, there was a raised area.
The rest of the stone table was smooth, and that raised area was very conspicuous, so Ye Chenfeng saw it immediately.
Approaching the stone table.
He carefully pressed his palm on the raised area, noticing that the raised part could be pressed down.
His nerves in his mind were highly tense as his palm slowly pressed down the raised area on the stone table.
A light screen suddenly burst out from inside the stone table, hovering in the air, causing Ye Chenfeng to take a step back.
The light screen that emerged from the table exuded no dangerous aura, but displayed a scene instead.
Ye Chenfeng realized the scene displayed on the light screen was precisely the plaza from earlier.
Except now the plaza had more cultivators; it seemed that the map above the Wind Sword Palace had caught the attention of many cultivators, and as time went on, more and more cultivators were likely to enter here.
Of course, Ye Chenfeng also noticed the changes in the plaza from the light screen: one by one, fiery red stone figures descended from the sky.
These stone figures descending from the sky appeared to have just emerged; when Ye Chenfeng was previously at the plaza, there was no strange activity.
Could it be that he cracked the puzzle above, causing such commotion in the plaza?
Ye Chenfeng’s gaze remained fixed on the picture within the light screen.
Out of curiosity, some cultivators were continually approaching the descending fiery red stone figures, attempting to reach out and sense them.
However.
Before their palms could touch the fiery red stone figures, these figures suddenly started to move, their ferocious expressions becoming scarier, and they began emitting continuous eerie wails from their throats.
Against those cultivators attempting to sense with palms, these suddenly moving fiery red stone figures abruptly launched attacks, catching those approaching cultivators completely off guard.
Those with strength reaching the Half-step Divine Venerable Realm were alright, but for cultivators below this realm, their bodies were all caught by surprise and struck by the stone figures’ palms.
As the palms struck the cultivators.
A piercing red light suddenly burst from the palms of the fiery red stone figures.
Along with the dazzling red light blooming.
The areas struck by the stone figures’ palms began to melt rapidly on the cultivators.
Moreover, the melting quickly spread around their bodies.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!—"
A series of painful screams echoed incessantly through the air.
Those reaching the Half-step Divine Venerable Realm could still handle these fiery red stone figures, but below this level of strength, the cultivators stood little chance against them.
The critical point was that the falling fiery red stone figures from the sky did not reduce; instead, they kept increasing.
Dense light points continually dropped from high above, rapidly enlarging within the view of the cultivators below.
The number of fiery red stone figures in the whole plaza kept growing.
Facing the joint attacks of these numerous fiery red stone figures, even those reaching Half-step Divine Venerable Realm began to get flustered.
During this process.
There were still continuous arrivals of cultivators at this plaza.
Those struck by the fiery red stone figures and quickly melting saw their entire bodies ultimately dissolve into pools of blood.
The blood formed, however, didn’t remain on the plaza’s stone bricks but instead seeped within the bricks.
No trace of blood remained on the plaza’s surface, nor did any blood smell linger in the air, which was genuinely abnormal.
In the underground room, Ye Chenfeng.
He saw clearly the events on the plaza through the scene in the light screen.
Most cultivators entering here died at the hands of the fiery red stone figures, only a few above Half-step Divine Venerable Realm survived, and with their strength, they managed to shatter the stone figures.
However, there were too many fiery red stone figures here, and they kept increasing; continuing like this, even those with greater strength would be exhausted to death.
Also, escaping by flying through the air from here wasn’t feasible; these stone figures could all tread through the air, they could only forcefully carve a path out to escape.
Thus.
Those stronger than the Half-step Divine Venerable Realm quickly carved paths on the plaza, sweeping towards outside the plaza or towards the ancient-style buildings surrounding it.
Strangely enough.
These fiery red stone figures seemed restricted to the plaza; once cultivators moved beyond the plaza’s boundaries, these stone figures immediately gave up pursuit.
Ye Chenfeng watched the carnage within the light screen, indifferent to the life and death of these people.
After entering here not long ago.
Ye Chenfeng already saw Mid Divine Honor Realm Chou Kangrong turn to ashes directly.
And now, watching cultivators melt on the plaza one after another, not even leaving blood behind.
These melting cultivators predominantly had strength at the Divine King Realm.
Those at the Divine King Realm were definitely not considered weak.
But against the fiery red stone figures on the plaza, those cultivators at the Divine King Realm indeed stood no chance.
Facing the tragic scenes within the light screen.
Ye Chenfeng shifted his gaze, searching elsewhere in the room; he couldn’t linger here for long, urgently needing to leave, this so-called opportunity was filled with extreme danger.
Scanning the room for other exits, should he not find them, Ye Chenfeng could only return the way he came.
This room was full of oddities too; why did the Holy Fire Sect establish such an underground room here? This room surely held some purpose.
