Chapter 1511 - 1487: Bridge of No Return

Di Jiang stood on the fourth step, looking at the other celestial platform below, while Jianxingzi and the others had their hearts in their throats.

On the celestial platform, there was still no one present. Ren Feng's figure was not on the platform; he was already within the fourth step's array!

Ren Feng opened his eyes, seemingly dazed, as if he had forgotten many things in his mind. He felt as though he had many important people in his life, but at this moment, he had forgotten them all.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?

Ren Feng felt extremely confused, as if he had just been in an extremely critical place, but why suddenly was he here?

He glanced around his surroundings and found a bridge not far in front of him. On the other side of the bridge was a small hill, and above it was an entrance, a door standing atop; where it led behind was unknown.

Ren Feng walked forward in a daze, and at that moment, a roar appeared from the golden dragon within his soul sea, its dragon roar echoing through his soul sea, awakening Ren Feng from his stupor.

Upon awakening, Ren Feng felt a cold sweat cover his body as he looked around, now filled with horror!

This array has a terrifying hypnotic effect, creating an illusion without a sound, ensnaring him within.

If he doesn't break free from this illusion, who knows if he can pass this test?

Ren Feng looked up towards the distant door on the hill; that door was obviously the exit.

Taking a deep breath, Ren Feng walked forward.

Beside the bridge stood a stone tablet with three large characters on it.

Bridge of No Return!

Bridge of No Return?

What does this mean?

Ren Feng frowned, stopping to look at the bridge ahead; it still appeared calm, the mist rolling beneath, seemingly no different from an ordinary bridge.

But he knew this was the array of the fourth step; since he entered, he was immediately ensnared, the bizarre illusion pulling his soul entirely within, unable to discern where he was.

Thus, the danger here couldn't be seen by the naked eye.

Bridge of No Return, Bridge of No Return, Ren Feng pondered these three words, wondering if walking on this bridge meant he couldn't return?

Ren Feng hesitated briefly, then summoned the Heaven-Slaying Sword to fly forward. The sword flew quite a distance without encountering danger, making several circles on the bridge before returning.

But as the Heaven-Slaying Sword flew, a vortex in the sea of mist appeared on the bridge.

"No surprise, this bridge is peculiar."

And judging by the surroundings, it was clear that to break through this test, one must cross this bridge.

"No return... no return... means once you step on, you can't come back..."

Ren Feng took a deep breath, then cautiously and carefully walked forward.

This bridge wasn't long; as Ren Feng stepped on it, the surface seemed to ripple, alongside forming a massive vortex.

In the next moment, Ren Feng slashed his sword down, the terrifying sword qi entering the vortex, causing it to vanish.

Then, Ren Feng continued forward.

Moreover, Ren Feng released his consciousness, surrounding his body.

With each step, Ren Feng was fully focused. After advancing ten zhang, the gray mist around suddenly thickened, and a portion of his consciousness behind him seemingly disappeared.

Ren Feng was shocked, about to turn back, but stopped himself just in time.

His expression turned grim, remaining silent for a while, eyes gleaming as he continued moving forward.

Bridge of No Return, Bridge of No Return, its meaning was that you couldn't go back; this included turning back.

Should he turn back, he would surely face disaster!

In that instant, Ren Feng realized clearly; if his consciousness was swallowed by someone, he'd be harmed, but he felt nothing; it was merely that he couldn't sense that part of his consciousness.

This meant the array had a function of blocking his consciousness.

Ren Feng continued moving forward, suddenly hearing an earth-shattering roar from behind, even the bridge trembled, making Ren Feng stabilize himself at once, feeling a terrifyingly immense aura rushing toward him from behind!

Moreover, a hot, acrid wind blew from behind him!

The sudden appearance of this aura startled Ren Feng, feeling his heart skip a beat, almost instinctively wanting to use his consciousness to check, but forcibly resisting the impulse the next moment!

No return, no return, using consciousness to probe would surely lead to trouble!

The bridge was called Bridge of No Return, expressing that once stepped on, there was no returning.

If it were merely that, it would be understandable, but Ren Feng, upon analyzing, felt the bridge wasn't that simple. Perhaps not only couldn't he return, but turning his head or even consciousness might be forbidden; everything must adhere strictly to the concept of no return; any mistake could result in disaster.

Though he couldn't turn back or use consciousness to check, Ren Feng could imagine being close enough to sense acrid breath meant one thing: that terrifying beast had opened its giant maw, right behind him.

Illusion Technique, it's definitely an Illusion Technique!

Ren Feng reminded himself as he proceeded forward!

At this moment, a flash of black light suddenly appeared and disappeared at his right side, causing Ren Feng's pupils to contract sharply; the black light was clearly a substance.

A bead of cold sweat dripped from his forehead as he glanced sidelong to see a sticky substance on his right shoulder, emitting a bizarre smell.

Ren Feng took a deep breath, his gaze gradually calming, his steps still composed, walking forward steadily. The black substance swished more frequently around his body, while the roar from behind, even the breath, battered the edge of his clothes with loud flapping noise, a murderous intent suddenly emanated from behind.

But Ren Feng, instead, calmed down, no longer as tense as before; this was definitely an illusion!

If the beast behind was truly terrifying, there was no need for intimidation; it would have attacked outright!

Luckily, he had made the right bet this time.

Ren Feng walked forward resolutely, without any hesitation, regardless of the disturbance behind him, his body was unfaltering. At this point, the beast roared furiously, attempting to swallow him whole; Ren Feng saw this clearly from the corner of his eye, without blinking, maintaining his steady pace without wavering at all.

As the beast lunged for a bite, its body transformed into a cloud of gray mist and vanished into nothingness. Amidst the mist, Ren Feng's figure slowly emerged.

Soon, the bridge's end was in sight; but right then, Ren Feng heard a voice calling from behind.

"Ren Feng!"
