Chapter 1715: Chapter 1716: Five Elements Three Wonders Array Stele! (Part 2)

After Sima Xu fled in panic, Ling Feng, guided by Despicable Donkey, ventured deeper into the third layer of the Xuanjian Underground Palace, searching for the mysterious entrance to the fourth layer.

About an hour or so later.

"This should be it."

Despicable Donkey lazily crossed its hooves in front of its chest, its tail sweeping the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Ling Feng glanced around, then at Despicable Donkey, a bit puzzled, and asked, "Here?"

"Hehe, take a look at the steles around you and see what’s different," Despicable Donkey’s long ears flapped as it smiled slyly.

Looking around at each one, Ling Feng frowned slightly. The surrounding area was densely packed with various oddly shaped steles, but they didn’t seem to have any differences.

Suddenly, Ling Feng spotted some special steles within the forest of stones. Compared to the regular ones, these were significantly larger, but there were only eight of them, standing out conspicuously.

The impression given by these eight steles varied; some seemed like a magma purgatory, others like a vast ocean, some were as towering as mountains, while others gave a sense of overwhelming thunderbolts...

"Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Ice, Wind, Thunder!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched slightly, discovering something. These are the most common Five Elements and Three Strange Attributes in the Martial Arts World!

The first eight moves of the ’Heavenly Punishment Sword Technique’ correspond to these attributes, making Ling Feng very sensitive to them.

"Hehe, that’s right! These eight steles are the legendary Five Elements Three Strange Array Steles and are the key to entering the fourth layer."

Despicable Donkey grinned sinisterly.

At this moment, numerous figures rushed in from behind, their gazes quickly locking onto the Five Elements Three Strange Steles.

"Indeed, the secret of the fourth layer is known by few, but it’s not unknown!"

Ling Feng squinted his eyes, secretly observing the other martial artists around him. Among the crowd, he saw Wang Bodang, who had previously greeted him.

However, upon hearing that he was a martial artist from the Eastern Spirit Domain, Wang Bodang quickly lost interest and didn’t bother engaging further.

Nevertheless, this Wang Bodang, judging from his aura, was indeed formidable, sharp, and stable, far surpassing the henchmen around Sima Xu, who had fallen by Ling Feng’s sword.

Besides, there were two other sharp auras that caught Ling Feng’s attention.

These people were likely the top talents from the West Sword Domain entering the Xuanjian Underground Palace this time.

As for the talents from the Beihai Domain, they were mostly held off at the second layer of the underground palace. Although strong, they were far less accomplished in Sword Dao compared to the West Sword Domain talents.

"I didn’t expect this kid to make it here?"

"So the Eastern Spirit Domain also has a swordman who mastered Sword Force, what a strange occurrence!"

The West Sword Domain geniuses were quite amazed by Ling Feng, but at the moment, they weren’t united, subtly divided into three factions. For the time being, no one paid much attention to Ling Feng.

After all, judging by his aura, Ling Feng seemed pitifully weak.

"Did everyone come here for the sake of these eight steles?"

Among the three factions, one of the top three in cultivation, a burly man in a green robe, swept his gaze across the others, finally warily fixing on two others, speaking in a low voice.

"What a stupid question!"

Wang Bodang sneered, his gaze fixed on the green-robed man. His strength was on par with him, so his attitude was quite unyielding.

The leader of the third faction, a swordsman in purple clothes, also squinted and said coldly, "At this point, let’s not play dumb, shall we?"

"Very well, seems like everyone is already aware of the existence of the fourth layer of the Xuanjian Underground Palace."

The green-robed man chuckled, "In that case, why don’t we join forces first!"

Everyone wanted to enter the fourth layer, so there was naturally no objection.

Therefore, inspired by the green-robed man, everyone decided to collaborate temporarily to unlock the Five Elements Three Strange Steles.

The green-robed man’s name was Xu Jie, rumored to have seen ancient texts detailing the method to unseal the Five Elements Three Strange Steles.

The activation sequence was quite intricate, not even activating each Array Stele once, and involved specific calculations and deductions.

Under their collective efforts, the process eventually took over half an hour!

Finally, all eight Array Steles were activated.

Simultaneously, a muffled rumble echoed from the void.

Pure energy of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Ice, Wind, and Thunder of various types soared into the sky.

The overwhelming aura made everyone shiver in awe.
