"Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!"
The flames were drawing closer, producing a continuous roar. As the sound grew louder, the fire actually began to descend—and it was heading straight toward the Void Mountain Range.
With the descent of the flames, a tremendous wave of pressure cascaded down from the sky, causing the entire mountain range to tremble. The trembling intensified with each passing moment, until eventually the whole area was shaking violently, as though struck by an earthquake.
"Quick, Chu Feng, Zi Ling, Vice President Gao—follow me!" As the massive fireball streaked across the sky above the Void Sect and hurtled toward the mountains behind it, Jiang Hengyuan bellowed and shot into the air.
Upon seeing this, Chu Feng and the others didn't hesitate. One by one, they followed close behind.
When they reached the outer perimeter of the Void Sect, Jiang Hengyuan came to a halt and immediately began setting up a barrier around the sect.
At this moment, everyone understood: no matter what that flame actually was, once it struck the ground, it would unleash a devastating shockwave. That violent ripple would sweep across the mountain range, and at this distance, the Void Sect would be caught in its path with no way to escape.
They had to erect a defensive barrier as quickly as possible—before the shockwave arrived—to protect the Void Sect. Otherwise, this sect with nearly a thousand years of history would be destroyed.
The Void Sect was vast. Even blocking just one side, constructing such a barrier would require considerable time. By all logic, it was an impossible task.
However, there were multiple blue-robed Spirit Realm Masters present. Working together, they raised an enormous blue barrier into the sky in an instant, positioning it around the outer perimeter of the Void Sect.
"Wow, what incredible power! So these are the top experts of the Nine Provinces Continent?!"
Seeing the blue barrier unfurl in the distance, everyone in the Void Sect gasped in amazement, exclaiming one after another. The sect master and the others were particularly stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.
What amazed them wasn't the strength of the Jiang Dynasty or the Spirit Realm Association—those organizations' top figures had always seemed like gods in their minds, and that belief was deeply entrenched.
What amazed them was Chu Feng. Two years ago, he had been merely a gray-robed Spirit Realm Master, and back then, they had already considered him incredibly powerful.
But now, in just two short years, Chu Feng had become a blue-robed Spirit Realm Master—several times more powerful than before. They simply couldn't help but be astonished.
"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"
But just then, a thunderous explosion rang out, so loud it seemed to split the heavens. At the same time, the entire Void Sect shuddered violently. The powerful shockwave knocked many disciples and elders off their feet, and numerous buildings reinforced with barrier energy couldn't withstand the impact, developing cracks before crumbling apart.
The flame had fallen—crashing into the Void Mountain Range. A terrifying ripple of energy was expanding outward in a perfect circle.
Wherever the ripple passed—whether trees or buildings, living creatures or inanimate objects—all were obliterated in an instant, reduced to drifting ash.
"Quick! Pour every last bit of your Mental Power into the great array, or the Void Sect will suffer devastating damage!" Watching the apocalyptic ripple surge toward them, Jiang Hengyuan roared.
At that moment, Chu Feng and the others naturally didn't dare delay. They poured all their effort into strengthening the barrier.
