Boom—
Suddenly, a massive wave of energy rippled outward from within the mud creature. The force was so powerful that even
"This is bad. That Hundred-Forged Jade Stone seems to contain an incredibly powerful force. This creature can't handle it — it might explode and die."
Although Chu Feng couldn't precisely analyze that energy while it remained inside the mud creature, he could tell that it was terrifying — far beyond what the creature could withstand. If this continued, the mud creature was likely to be torn apart from within.
"Husband, Chu Feng — we need to retreat quickly! That mud creature can't handle that power. If it explodes, we'll all be caught in it!" Zhao Hong called out loudly. Even as she spoke, she grabbed Wang Qiang and Chu Feng and shot backward, clearly having noticed everything as well.
Despite knowing the danger, all three of them still wanted to keep watching — especially Chu Feng, who was deeply curious about the mud creature's identity. After all, in theory, only members of the
Chu Feng couldn't help but wonder whether this mud creature had some connection to the Chu Heavenly Clan, or if it truly was powerful enough to completely disregard the stone's power and lift it by brute force.
But most importantly — the Hundred-Forged Jade Stone had clearly already been drained of its power. So how did it still possess such terrifying energy?
What exactly was this being?
How had it known that the stone contained such energy?
And what did it intend to do with this power?
Countless questions swirled in Chu Feng's mind, and he was desperate for answers.
So even though the three of them had retreated, once they reached a distance they considered relatively safe, they stopped.
Whoosh—
Kong Sheng flew over as well, landing right beside them.
"Wh-what are you following us for? Get lost — scram!" Wang Qiang shot Kong Sheng a disgruntled look.
"You're allowed to watch the show, but I'm not?" Kong Sheng glanced back at Wang Qiang with equal irritation.
"It needs to come up with a countermeasure, otherwise it won't last much longer." Chu Feng's gaze remained fixed on the mud creature.
Perhaps because of the possibility that this creature was connected to the Chu Heavenly Clan, Chu Feng found himself surprisingly hoping it would survive — even as it teetered on the brink of death.
Splash—
But just then, the mud creature suddenly dove into the Drought Demon's Deadwater Pool.
Hummm—
The next instant, a visible glow began radiating from the depths of the pool — dazzling and blindingly brilliant.
"That's a formation. An incredibly powerful formation. It seems like it had everything prepared long ago," Zhao Hong said in astonishment.
"This formation is truly remarkable — it's no ordinary Spirit World Master's work. But even so, the energy from the Hundred-Forged Jade Stone may be too much for even this formation to handle," Chu Feng said.
Boom—
No sooner had Chu Feng finished speaking than a deafening explosion erupted from the waters.
The next moment, waves of water surged skyward, and a horrifying ripple of energy swept outward in every direction.
"Run — now!"
Zhao Hong didn't hesitate. She seized Wang Qiang and Chu Feng and fled at top speed.
Kong Sheng summoned his Thunder Armor and Thunder Wings, accelerating away even faster.
That ripple was far too terrifying. Even though they had already moved what they thought was a safe distance away, the shockwave still exceeded everything they had imagined — and it was closing in on them.
