Chapter 742: Broken Ruins

Those jade crystals that made people's eyes reddened and their hearts beat fast, one by one, sank into the ground and then disappeared.

If you look closely, you will find that all the jade crystals were integrated into the formation the moment they touched the ground. From the beginning to the end, the entire formation seemed to be constantly charging, and when the energy reached the critical point, it began to start automatically.

The energy contained in the jade crystals was extremely terrifying. Just one was enough to kill the four people in the formation seven or eight times and still have some left. If it weren't for knowing that the city lord would not have evil intentions, I'm afraid the four people would have escaped from the formation long ago.

The operation of this formation is also strange. From the beginning to the end, it seems that there is no connection with the huge stone pillar in the middle. It seems that only the six small stone pillars around it are connected to each other to form a formation. But if you look closely, you will find that the stone pillar in the middle actually divides a part of the energy invisibly. Although it is only a part of the energy, it can stabilize the formation instantly.

Being able to easily suppress the energy released by five jade crystals, three mid-level beast cores, and three magnetic spirit stones, you can imagine how terrifying the energy contained in this giant stone pillar is. Moreover, the giant stone pillar does not seem to release energy actively, but stands there like a king without being affected by anything.

When the last piece of jade crystal merged into the formation on the ground, the entire square trembled slightly, but it was only a moment, and the outside of the stone pillar had returned to calm.

The space surrounded by the six stone pillars was not as calm as the outside. The six stone pillars and the metal chains wrapped around them all emitted light, and then the light condensed into a layer of light shield.

At this time, the light shield was still transparent, and the outside world could still clearly see the figures of the four people inside. However, as the light became brighter and brighter, the scenery inside the light shield became more and more blurred. However, at this time, the outside world could still see clearly that on the ground inside the light shield, runes appeared one by one, and these runes lit up more and more, and began to connect into one piece.

When the ground inside the light shield had already revealed a large number of runes densely, the entire ground was also occupied by runes. At this time, the outside world and the inside of the formation were completely isolated, and no changes could be seen.

The four people in the formation were not panicked, but they all focused their eyes on the formation and were vigilantly watching the surroundings.

Zuo Feng just looked for a moment and then closed his eyes slightly. Seeing Zuo Feng's actions, Yao Zhen was slightly stunned and immediately entered the state of cultivation with concentration and calmness. The other two reacted a little slower, but they were not fools. They immediately figured it out after a moment of stunnedness, and then they immediately closed their eyes and meditated.

With the experience of the second competition before, and the special reminder from the city lord before, Zuo Feng knew that he had to enter the state of cultivation in such an environment to quickly integrate into the formation.

This competition is actually somewhat similar to the second competition. The person who enters it first will have an absolute advantage. Although this advantage may not directly affect the result, it can give people the upper hand at the beginning of the battle.

Yao Zhen's reaction was also very fast. Although he did not participate in the second competition, he immediately thought of many things after seeing Zuo Feng's reaction. He also made a quick decision and entered the state quickly, much faster than the other two young men.

Liang Wai and the other two young men were younger after all. They were completely shocked when they saw the huge energy conversion after the formation was running and the scene of the complex runes interacting with each other.

However, the three of them were not much later. Soon after Zuo Feng entered the state, their breathing became smooth and the fluctuation of spiritual energy also tended to stabilize.

If someone was observing at this time, they would find that first of all, at the location where Zuo Feng was, a circle of light on the ground continued to expand, and then wrapped Zuo Feng in it, and finally Zuo Feng completely disappeared in that position.

A moment later, the same scene appeared on the ground where Yao Zhen was sitting. His body was also wrapped in a ball of light and then disappeared on the spot. The other two young men were a little slower, but they also disappeared on the spot. The people in the entire formation disappeared completely, as if there should be no one here.

When Zuo Feng opened his eyes, he found that he was in an ancient building complex, but the buildings around him were already dilapidated. It seems that the buildings here should have a very long history, probably much longer than all the old buildings he has seen.

The surface of these buildings is dilapidated, and the traces left by the years can be clearly seen. However, judging from the hugeness of the building complex, this place should have been a particularly spectacular place when it was prosperous. I am afraid that the imperial capital of a country would look like this.

This place is on a mountain, which is also very high at this time. It stands among the mountains and is several times higher than the surrounding mountains. Such a high mountain is rarely seen even for Zuo Feng, who came from the Tianping Mountains, but he has never heard of such a place in his memory.

The building complex is built on the top of the mountain, which can be said to completely cover the entire huge mountain top. Because it is a building complex built on the top of the mountain relying on the mountain, the heights of these buildings are also different.

Zuo Feng was in a dilapidated pavilion. The top of the pavilion was gone. On one side was a narrow ridge path, and on the other side was a cliff. Standing here, he could overlook the vast beautiful scenery.

Zuo Feng naturally had no interest in watching these scenes carefully. What he wanted to see more was where Yao Zhen and the other two were. Looking around, there were quite a few buildings that blocked Zuo Feng's sight. If he wanted to see the surroundings clearly, he had to leave the pavilion.

However, Zuo Feng had only taken two steps when something in his arms suddenly moved, or to be more precise, it shook slightly. At this time, Zuo Feng noticed that the little beast Ni Feng had also come here like him.

After seeing the blood cocoon that Ni Feng had transformed into, Zuo Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to remember something. Then he began to observe himself, and this observation made Zuo Feng even more suspicious.

Because he was not a clone condensed by energy at this moment, but his own location was this place. Although he didn't know how he was sent here, it was obviously different from the black crystal stone in the previous competition.

In the previous competition, he had obviously been extracted from his spiritual power and mental power and integrated into this place, but now it seems that the whole person was sent here. But what's special is that he doesn't have any injuries on his body now, and he has even recovered to his peak state.

This change shocked Zuo Feng even more, but he didn't think about it carefully. Ni Feng's reaction just now seemed to convey some kind of information, as if reminding himself not to act rashly.

If Zuo Feng hadn't received this message, he might have left here and gone to find Yao Zhen or one of the other two. After all, he came here to fight. Since the city lord said that there was no danger to life here, he didn't take the fight to heart.

But now that he knew Ni Feng's thoughts, he didn't do anything else, but stood on the pavilion and observed silently.

Zuo Feng's observation naturally didn't just use his eyes to see, he would feel everything around him. Then he found that the energy of heaven and earth here seemed to be a little different, or the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was extremely thin, and it could even be said that there was no spiritual power here.

Since there was no spiritual energy of heaven and earth, warriors here could not absorb and breathe, and there was no spiritual energy replenishment, so the consumption of the battle would not be restored. This situation is naturally good for people with high cultivation. After all, the amount of spiritual power will determine that even if it is a war of attrition, the winner is ultimately the one with high cultivation.

Although the spiritual energy cannot be felt, Zuo Feng can feel the existence of another kind of energy. If it were someone else, they would not know what the energy here is, but Zuo Feng could clearly know that the energy here is actually beast energy.

Beast energy is a special existence, an energy that is close to spiritual energy but very different from spiritual energy. Zuo Feng always believed that the existence of beast energy is in the bodies of magic beasts and demon beasts, but after absorbing the energy of the earth veins before, he found that beast energy is actually a kind of energy between heaven and earth, but warriors cannot absorb it directly, but magic beasts and demon beasts can do it.

Zuo Feng did not know the process of magic beasts and demon beasts absorbing the energy of heaven and earth before, but after his body transformation, he knew a little bit. Because the physique of magic beasts and demon beasts is special, they can convert more violent energy into their own use during the absorption process, so these energies will also become their supplements.

Nifeng has cooperated with himself many times, especially when launching the Nifengxing, he has used this energy countless times, which is why Zuo Feng has a deeper understanding.

The energy of heaven and earth that he could not absorb here was an excellent supplement that Nifeng had been looking for. Especially since Nifeng had begun to absorb it non-stop, and the process was also very violent, almost a form of plunder.

If Nifeng would have needed several years to complete the transformation, after this absorption, I am afraid that this time would be infinitely shortened, but how long it would take, I am afraid only Nifeng himself knows best.

Zuo Feng also smiled bitterly at Nifeng's absorption, and he had to feel a little jealous of this little guy in his heart. I didn't expect that participating in this competition would eventually allow this little guy to get such a good fortune. I don't know if this little guy's luck is so good.

While thinking about it, suddenly a familiar figure appeared in the building complex. This figure was one of the people who were teleported together, and Zuo Feng recognized it as Yao Zhen at a glance.

The moment Yao Zhen walked out of the building complex, he looked up at the position where Zuo Feng was. Zuo Feng was also mentally prepared. Judging from the positions of the four people before, the possibility of encountering Yao Zhen first was very high. Now it seems that he really can't avoid it.
