Within the crowd in front of the stage, there were countless heads, and many among them were not people from the Holy City. Among these people, there were even many youths.
Hearing the old man's sigh, a youth beside the old man raised his head and curiously asked the old man.
"Myriad Bone Platform is indeed a stage, but not everyone can enter this stage." The rueful old man had a gentle smile on his face as he slowly spoke, "Regarding this Myriad Bone Platform, there is a legend that has been circulating within the Holy City for tens of thousands of years. Have you heard of this child?"
"What legend?" The youth's curiosity was piqued by the old man. With a serious expression, he continued to question the old man.
"Legend says that countless years ago, this stage did not exist within the Holy City. It was unknown since when some of the stronger characters all liked to fight here, and in every battle, one of them would die. The dead will be left in this place, and after who knows how many battles, countless corpses will form this arena. "
The old man's eyes revealed endless regret, and said: "It's said that this Myriad Bone Platform was originally only a few feet high, and every time someone died on the stage, this stage would increase by an inch. After countless years of passing, this Myriad Bone Platform has now reached a height of thirty thousand meters. "
When the youth heard the legend, he was already stunned. With a dazed look, he muttered: "One inch per person, rising to a height of 30,000 meters, how many corpses are buried under the Myriad Bone Platform?"
The path is filled with corpses. Anyone who walks at the front and survives to the end would be able to walk on the ground covered in bones, this is also the cruelty of the cultivation world. "Yue Yang explained. The old man's gaze was ethereal, as if he had seen through the world, and said: "This is also the reason why this stage is called Myriad Bone Platform."
As the old man spoke, the crowd below the stage suddenly became restless. Almost at the same time, the people below the stage all turned their heads in the same direction.
The old man and the young man couldn't help but follow the gaze of the crowd as they saw a group of people approaching from afar. Among the group of people, the person walking at the front had a stern expression, as if he was a young man blended in with the wind and snow.
"The person is here!" The old man said softly.
The one walking in the front was naturally Du Pengfei, and behind him were the people of Huangfu Family. Among them, the old man who walked while leaning on a walking stick, was the only ruler of Huangfu Family.
Although he looked old and weak, everyone who saw him had a stern expression on their faces.
Walking to the foot of the stage, Du Pengfei looked up at the stage, his gaze swept across the crowd once again, but he did not see Xiao Yu.
The people below the stage all seemed to have reached a tacit understanding with each other. No one spoke, and only everyone stared at Du Pengfei, as they watched him walk up to the stage.
"Old senior, you just said that you have not used this Myriad Bone Platform for more than a thousand years, but you still have not explained to me why?" The youth in the crowd sensed the peculiar atmosphere that everyone was emitting, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable. He once again asked the old man beside him the question that he had just asked.
"The Myriad Bone Platform was built with tens of thousands of corpses, and countless bones are buried beneath the stage. Going up the Myriad Bone Platform is equivalent to stepping on top of these bones." The old man's eyes were fixated on Du Pengfei at this moment, but he did not forget to answer the young man, "Every additional corpse on this stage can increase one more inch, and every inch it rises, the tyrannical aura on the stage becomes stronger, and it will become harder to climb up."
The teenager looked confused, as if he couldn't understand what was going on.
"This is a ominous stage. The countless corpses below the stage will release a fierce and evil aura at any time. Normal people cannot withstand it. The higher this stage was, the more vicious and brutal it was, and the harder it was to climb. In fact, a long time ago, there were some people who used this evil and fierce Qi to train themselves and tried to climb up to the platform, but ended up dying in front of the platform. In the end, they only added a bit of ferocity to the platform, which is why this platform has been deserted for over a thousand years. "
As the old man spoke, his gaze never moved from Du Pengfei's body, and at this time, Du Pengfei was already one third of the way up the stairs.
The young man seemed to have understood and turned his gaze towards Du Pengfei. A stage that no one had been able to climb for a thousand years, what kind of person would need to climb this stage?
He finally understood why the people around him suddenly quietened down as they looked at Du Pengfei quietly. It was because everyone wanted to know if Du Pengfei was able to do it or not. If he couldn't even make it onto the stage, then there would be no follow-up matches for him and Xiao Yu.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Du Pengfei's footsteps were slow and firm. It was as if an invisible mountain was carried on his back, and every step he took gave off an extremely heavy feeling.
In this fifteen kilometers of stage, Du Pengfei walked one step at a time, and his speed did not decrease at all. When he took his last step, and reached the top of the Myriad Bone Platform, even though his footsteps were completely silent, the spectators still felt as if a huge mountain had smashed down from nine heavens.
"To be able to ascend onto this stage, this young man is truly extraordinary. At the very least, he can be called the pinnacle of Ten Prefectures." The old man in the crowd nodded his head, as if he was very impressed with Du Pengfei being able to get on stage.
The crowd also agreed with the old man's words. In fact, the reason why this platform had not been used for a thousand years was not because of the people who could climb it. Rather, it was because of the two people who possessed the ability to determine life and death on this platform.
But even so, the fact that Du Pengfei was able to ascend to the stage was sufficient proof of his strength, which also meant that this battle between him and Xiao Yu was worthy of everyone's expectations.
"Xiao Yu is here!"
The crowd that had been silent for a moment suddenly let out another cry of alarm, and immediately after, everyone's gaze turned in another direction.
Amidst the endless flying snow, a lonely figure was walking slowly towards them while stepping on the snow. It was none other than Xiao Yu.
Just like Du Pengfei before, when Xiao Yu arrived, he did not say anything either. He only glanced at the people from the Huangfu Family, and then, without saying a word, he stepped onto the stage.
"It seems that Du Pengfei has a better chance of winning this battle." Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke with a very confident tone.
At first, those who heard him were confused, but when they saw the look of the person who opened his mouth, they seemed to understand something, and looked towards the stairs of the Myriad Bone Platform together.
At this time, the ground and Myriad Bone Platform had already been covered with a thick layer of snow. Before Xiao Yu started to climb the stage, the Myriad Bone Platform s stairs did not have any footprints.
