Chu Feng used the teleportation formation and returned to outside the entrance of the Era of the Gods.
Right now, there were still many people gathered outside the Era of the Gods, but they were all quite far from the entrance.
Some people were self-aware enough that they were just here to watch the spectacle, with no intention of going in.
Others had originally planned to slip inside and scavenge for treasures, but after witnessing the bat demon beast's massacre, they no longer dared to enter.
This couldn't be blamed on them. For the longest time, the pinnacle of the True God realm had been considered the identity of the strongest being of the current era.
Heavenly Gods were but legends.
Therefore, the spectacle of the bat demon beast had genuinely terrified them into deciding that the Era of the Gods was not a place they could afford to tangle with.
Chu Feng carefully surveyed the area — not to search for traces of Daoist Priests Dragon One and Dragon Two, nor to look for Zhao Laoba.
Chu Feng figured that the two Daoist Priests were most likely still inside their own spatial worlds, or had already successfully deciphered them and ventured deeper into the Era of the Gods.
Waiting here would be a complete waste of time.
As for Zhao Laoba, before Chu Feng left, he had seen Zhao Laoba successfully activate the formation and figured he would be able to depart safely.
As for why he hadn't run into Zhao Laoba, that was perfectly normal — this place was vast, and being randomly teleported anywhere was entirely possible.
So Chu Feng's current observation was aimed at finding that which needed to be unlocked.
But after a thorough search, he found no clues, so Chu Feng decided to enter through the juniors' entrance.
Passing through the barrier gate — much the same as the one anyone could access — Chu Feng stepped into the vast barrier tunnel and deliberately slowed his pace, proceeding as cautiously as he could.
But along the way, Chu Feng found no clues whatsoever, until a wave of teleportation force materialized and enveloped him.
Chu Feng left the barrier tunnel and entered a spatial world.
This spatial world was noticeably superior to the previous ones — a far more conventional spatial realm.
And right before Chu Feng stood an enormous stone stele alongside a barrier gate.
On the stele, the method of leaving this place was plainly inscribed.
There were two options.
First, there was a cave here, and within it lurked a demon beast. Defeat that demon beast, and one could leave this place and enter deeper into the Era of the Gods.
However, it was also clearly warned that the demon beast would not be easy to deal with, and losing one's life was a real possibility.
If one wished to give up, one could simply leave through the barrier gate beside the stele.
But once you chose to leave, you could never re-enter the Era of the Gods.
That said, this was only the surface meaning.
The stele also concealed a second and third layer of content.
This content did not require mastery of barrier techniques — even martial cultivators who were unskilled in barriers had a chance of perceiving it.
Of course, perceiving it was no easy task.
It required exceptional powers of observation and deduction to analyze.
But this, naturally, was no obstacle for Chu Feng.
The second layer was a complete map of this world, including the location of the cave where the demon beast resided.
As for the third layer, it detailed the demon beast's strength and quantity.
Though there was only one, its strength had reached the fourth rank of the True God realm.
"Fourth rank True God."
This made Chu Feng furrow his brows.
His current strength was nowhere near enough to contend with a fourth-rank True God.
Clearly, this seemingly ordinary world harbored tremendous danger as well.
Boom — But just then, powerful ripples suddenly erupted in the distance.
Looking in that direction, two powerful beings were locked in combat.
"True God realm?"
Chu Feng's eyes lit up. Those were auras and momentum that surpassed the Half God realm — two first-rank True Gods fighting each other.
Chu Feng quickly set off in that direction.
After all, anyone who had made it here was a fellow contemporary.
