Though the power of the grand formation was invisible, it churned beneath the surface with overwhelming dominance.
Under the oppressive force of that formation, the wailing from within the blood mist began to weaken, and the might of the blood mist diminished along with it.
If the Ghost Fiend Old Demon had been the king who ruled this world moments ago…
Then at this very moment, his throne had changed hands.
Now, it was
"This…!"
Sensing Chu Feng's formidable power, Kou Kang's face turned deathly pale and his body trembled uncontrollably. He had never imagined that Chu Feng truly possessed the strength to rival the Ghost Fiend Old Demon.
But he had already gone this far — he had even betrayed the
"Lord Ghost Fiend, destroy this boy — destroy him now!" In his panic, Kou Kang began crying out to the Ghost Fiend Old Demon for help.
At this point, the only one capable of suppressing Chu Feng was the Ghost Fiend Old Demon. He was, without question, the last hope in Kou Kang's eyes.
"Not bad, boy. No wonder you were so fearless — your formation has actually reached this level."
"But in the end, you are relying on the power of a formation. That is external force."
"My abilities, on the other hand, were earned through genuine cultivation. If you think you can use outside help to surpass decades of my painstaking effort, you're dreaming."
"Awooo—"
"ROAR—"
The moment the Ghost Fiend Old Demon finished speaking, the two ancestral weapons in his hands each let out a piercing roar. At the same time, the might of those ancestral weapons and the Ghost Fiend Old Demon's aura both began to surge.
The ancestral forbidden martial technique that had been suppressed was once again unleashing terrifying power, enough to contend with Chu Feng's grand formation.
Meanwhile, from within the blood mist, ghastly crimson soul shadows began to emerge. More and more of them appeared, quickly swelling to tens of thousands — like an army of malicious spirits, all fixated on Chu Feng.
"Who's stronger and who's weaker — how would we know without testing it?"
In this moment, Chu Feng remained utterly composed. As he spoke, he brought his palms together and then thrust a fierce finger toward the Ghost Fiend Old Demon.
Clang—!
In an instant, the sky shook and the earth trembled. A blinding silver light — the power of the grand formation — became visible to the naked eye.
The formation's power transformed from the invisible to the visible, coalescing into an enormous sword.
The colossal sword hung in midair, radiating awe-inspiring majesty, as though it could pierce through anything — determined to slay the evil.
"Damn it."
The moment the giant sword materialized in the sky, the Ghost Fiend Old Demon's expression changed drastically. The crimson soul shadows that had been itching to attack did not charge at Chu Feng. Instead, they abandoned their offensive posture and arranged themselves in a dense wall before the Ghost Fiend Old Demon.
Whoosh—!
And in that very instant, the colossal sword formed by the grand formation's power shot forth as a streak of brilliant light, thrusting violently toward the Ghost Fiend Old Demon.
BOOM—!
With a deafening explosion, wave after wave of violent energy ripples began surging outward in every direction.
Faced with those energy ripples, let alone the younger generation — even the elders frowned deeply.
"What kind of power could produce such terrifying ripples?"
"This must be the strongest force beneath the level of a True Immortal," the onlookers exclaimed in awe.
Having witnessed everything with their own eyes, they understood all too well just how terrifying that power was.
Fortunately, Chu Feng had deliberately controlled the situation and restrained those energy ripples. Otherwise, the ripples alone would have been enough to swallow everything within thousands of miles and obliterate everyone present.
The crowd also realized that Chu Feng was protecting them. As they gazed up at the roiling ripples in the sky, a measure of concern crept into their eyes.
Many of them hoped Chu Feng would survive.
But there were also some who wished for the Ghost Fiend Old Demon to be the victor. Kou Kang, for instance, was one such person.
