With the divine deer's help, Chu Feng began rapidly venturing deeper.
The divine deer's speed was, without exaggeration, the fastest Chu Feng had ever witnessed in his entire life.
Yet despite that astonishing velocity, Chu Feng was able to clearly perceive everything around him as the divine deer surged forward.
Presumably, this was one of the boons the divine deer had granted him.
Thanks to this aid, Chu Feng could see what manner of monsters lurked in the depths of this place.
And just as he had anticipated, there were indeed barrier beasts down here that Chu Feng would be powerless to contend with.
Not only seventh-rank and eighth-rank Supreme realm beasts — even those at the very peak of the Supreme realm existed here.
Fortunately, the divine deer was simply too fast. Even when the barrier beasts spotted Chu Feng, they had no time to strike before he had already left them far behind.
After hurtling forward at an incomprehensible speed for a stretch of time, Chu Feng finally arrived at the innermost depths of this place.
He saw it — the eye of the formation.
It was an eye of formation that pierced through heaven and earth, so vast it defied imagination.
Once Chu Feng entered the eye of the formation, the barrier beasts ceased their pursuit.
But Chu Feng froze in his tracks.
On his face was not only undisguised shock, but also an irrepressible trace of fear.
Within the eye of formation lay countless barrier arrays.
These barrier arrays were also the work of a Dragon-patterned Sacred garments master, but one whose skill surpassed Chu Feng's own.
This was most likely the handiwork left behind by Zhuge Yuankong.
The barrier arrays were formidable, but they naturally were not enough to frighten Chu Feng.
What had truly struck terror into him was the existence at the very center of the eye of formation.
There stood a single entity.
It was a living creature, and its body was staggeringly enormous — tens of millions of meters tall!!!
From his humble beginnings cultivating in the Lower Realm, through the Mortal Realm and the Upper Realm, and then across the starfields and into the Heavenly River — Chu Feng had seen his share of powerful demonic beings and Fierce Beasts along the way.
Every last one of them had been colossal.
But never had he encountered anything remotely this large.
In the presence of this creature, even the titanic beings Chu Feng had previously encountered looked like ants by comparison.
Standing before it, Chu Feng was no longer an ant — he was mere dust, smaller than the smallest speck.
Its body was vaguely humanoid in shape, but its exact contours were impossible to make out.
Its entire form was enveloped in a substance that resembled black rock. Even with his Heavenly Eyes activated, Chu Feng could not pierce through to see its true body — only a rough outline.
But there was no denying one thing…
All the barrier beasts in this place owed their existence to this creature.
And that danger — the aura that made Chu Feng tremble to his very core — emanated from it as well.
From a distance it had been one thing, but now, standing before its true form at such close range, Chu Feng could feel its power with bone-deep clarity.
He sensed that even a single breath from this creature could alter winds and stir storms.
A casual exhalation would not merely annihilate him — it could obliterate an entire world.
Yet it did not breathe. It lay perfectly still, as if it were dead.
But Chu Feng figured it was most likely in a deep slumber.
If it were truly dead, it could not possibly still possess such terrifying power.
Power that exceeded the furthest reaches of Chu Feng's imagination.
"It's actually this creature!!!"
Suddenly, the divine deer spoke.
And within its voice, there was genuine shock.
"Senior, you recognize this being?"
Chu Feng asked hurriedly.
In that moment he was caught between awe, fear, and intense curiosity. He desperately wanted to know what exactly this terrifying entity was.
"If I'm not mistaken, it is a creature that has existed since the Primordial Era — the Dark Demon God!!!"
