Chapter 748: The Challenge Space
Nine tokens were ejected from the pyramid. Although no one dared to snatch them from Ye Feng’s side, those who obtained tokens still faced attempts to take them by force, with two tokens changing hands.
Once the tokens had owners, everyone turned their attention to the pyramid. On one of its walls, golden bricks featured nine holes in the shape of tokens, clearly designed for those tokens.
After discussing it, the people who had obtained the tokens threw them into the holes.
The moment the nine tokens were inserted, the pyramid emitted another series of roars.
After a long while, a small door wide enough for just one person to pass through finally opened, and the nine tokens were reflected back to their original owners.
Seeing the door open, someone immediately rushed in.
Ye Feng and the others waited for a while. Since nothing unusual seemed to happen, they followed one after another inside.
The space was completely empty and dark, which surprised Ye Feng and his companions.
“How come there’s nothing here?” Ye Feng couldn’t help but mutter.
“Welcome to the Challenge Space!” An aged voice suddenly rang out. A golden light appeared in the center of the space, illuminating everything brightly.
Seeing everything clearly again, Ye Feng realized that aside from the light-like object above, there was truly nothing else in the space. He then focused his attention on the voice coming from above.
“This is the Challenge Space. Completing the challenges will earn corresponding rewards. Everyone who enters must participate in the challenges,” the voice said softly. “Killing your opponent means the challenge is successful. If you’re killed or surrender voluntarily, the match ends. If the loser dies, their body will remain here. If they survive, they will be transported away and barred from returning.”
“Level 1 difficulty: Fight against someone of equal cultivation level!”
As soon as these words were spoken, a strange formation rapidly formed beneath each person’s feet, enclosing them.
Ye Feng felt the ceiling suddenly receding from him.
“Huh, it seems I’m getting smaller…” After observing, he realized it wasn’t the pyramid that had grown larger—it was them who had shrunk after being illuminated by the light.
The strange formation, which was originally less than a meter in diameter, now appeared to Ye Feng as a huge arena spanning thousands of meters.
On the arena, a peculiar aura slowly took shape, coalescing into a human figure.
Ye Feng took a brief look. The opponent’s cultivation level was similar to his own, but he wasn’t sure about their mastery of divine powers. Before he could think further, the person attacked Ye Feng first. A long sword was swung, but its divine power level was quite low—only level 60. A warrior at level 6 with divine power at level 60 was no match for Ye Feng at all. Ye Feng simply pointed casually, and a divine power at level 100, dominated by the Overlord Sword Art, was unleashed, shattering the opponent’s sword beam. Moreover, the remaining force of that sword beam struck the opponent and passed through them, causing the figure to vanish instantly. The entire process took just one breath from start to finish. “Congratulations on passing the challenge! You have received a peak supreme treasure weapon.” The sound didn’t bring much joy to Ye Feng. He no longer needed this peak supreme treasure, as in the semi-open state of the Ninth Domain of the Void Realm, he could obtain as many as he wanted. After storing the reward in his ring, Ye Feng grew slightly expectant—since he had passed his first challenge, there would surely be a second one. “Level 2 difficulty activated: Fight against a warrior one cultivation level higher than yourself!” Such a challenge posed no difficulty to Ye Feng. At present, most level 9 warriors were not his match, let alone level 7 warriors. Seeing another figure form on the arena, Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. At this rate, he could easily take on level 4 difficulty with almost no pressure. Although level 7 warriors were a hundred times stronger than level 6 warriors, there wasn’t much difference in Ye Feng’s eyes. Before he even swung his sword this time, Ye Feng had already appeared behind them. A crack appeared on the forehead of the level 7 warrior, blood sprayed out, and they too collapsed and vanished. Level 3 was passed just as easily. When it came to level 4 difficulty, fighting a level 9 warrior, Ye Feng ended the battle in just three breaths. After completing level 2 difficulty, he received a supreme offensive treasure. After completing level 3 difficulty, he received a supreme defensive treasure. After completing level 4 difficulty, he received a supreme flying treasure. Including the two supreme treasures he had taken from Yu Yang earlier, Ye Feng now had a total of five supreme treasures. “Level 5 difficulty activated!” After allowing Ye Feng to rest for nearly half an hour, that aged voice reached his ears again.
“A level-10 powerhouse?” Ye Feng frowned slightly. He really didn’t have much confidence in fighting against a level-10 powerhouse. After all, Tiandao was a level-10 powerhouse, and Buxiu was also one—both at the same cultivation level, so it was easy to imagine how terrifying they would be.
After that voice spoke, another powerhouse appeared before Ye Feng’s eyes, its aura as strong as when Xuehai first reached level 10.
That level-10 powerhouse swung its long sword, its divine power barely reaching level 100. This finally put Ye Feng at ease.
With a sword strike powered by his level 177 divine power, he effortlessly destroyed the level-10 powerhouse’s attack. Then, relying on his Fast Sword Art, he launched several more strikes.
The level-10 powerhouse struggled to block one of the attacks with all its might and barely dodged another. Two more attacks hit it. Although it avoided vital areas, it could no longer maintain its balance.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Feng used his Dominant Sword Art, combined with his level 177 divine power, to slay the level-10 powerhouse in a flash.
The reward this time was a palace of ultimate treasure value.
Having completed the challenge at level 5, there were no further challenges.
A moment later, that aged voice spoke again, “Five consecutive successful challenges grant one chance to enter the Secret Realm Treasury. Once inside, you can only choose to take one treasure with you. You have three days to make your choice. After three days, whether or not you’ve obtained a treasure, you will be automatically transported out.”
“The Secret Realm Treasury?” Ye Feng was momentarily stunned before regaining his composure. He thought to himself, “Could there be something even more precious than ultimate treasures inside?”
