"Am I going to fall here today?"
"No. I cannot lose."
Suddenly, a look of unwavering resolve surged into Chu Feng's eyes.
Immediately after, he pressed his palms together. Not only did vast power of the barrier release from his body in wave after wave, but it intensified with every passing moment.
If that barrier power was an army of thousands upon thousands, then Chu Feng was the sovereign commanding every last one of them.
The sight was nothing short of majestic.
ROAR—
Then, even the giant dragon formation began to crumble and disintegrate.
The giant dragon formation was not destroyed by Zhuge Feiluan's barrier formation. Chu Feng had dismantled it himself.
Once dissolved, the remnants of the dragon formation, under Chu Feng's regulation, transformed into residual barrier power that surged back into his body.
And then, the colossal barrier power began to contract inward, merging into Chu Feng's body.
Though he no longer enjoyed the bolstering of that immense barrier power, Chu Feng appeared far more sacred than before.
If one looked closely, they would notice that barrier armor had materialized upon Chu Feng's body — but it was not a single layer.
There were well over a hundred layers, and the number was still climbing.
That alone would have been remarkable enough, but every single layer of barrier armor was, in fact, a barrier formation capable of amplifying his strength.
And none of these formations conflicted with one another. Instead, they complemented each other perfectly.
"This kid — he's actually mastered barrier arts to this degree?"
Everyone present was a Spirit World Master, and every last one of them could see the genius behind Chu Feng's technique.
Chu Feng's barrier armor imbued the power of barriers directly onto his body. A single layer alone was far weaker than the giant dragon formation from before.
However, these layers could be continuously stacked. The hundred-plus armor formations already surpassed the dragon formation in raw power.
And the stacking was still accelerating at a terrifying pace.
In the blink of an eye, the number of armor formations layered upon Chu Feng's body had exceeded two hundred.
"So powerful."
Even Zhuge Feiluan couldn't help but show a glimmer of admiration in his eyes as he watched Chu Feng's display.
As a Spirit World Master, he was well aware that this kind of technique took a toll on the body and therefore had its limits.
An ordinary Spirit World Master could stack thirty layers at most. Anyone who could reach a hundred was already considered a genius.
But in the span of a heartbeat, Chu Feng had gone from over two hundred layers to over three hundred.
And the formations on his body were still multiplying.
This sparked a deep curiosity within Zhuge Feiluan.
He wanted to see exactly how many layers it would take before Chu Feng finally hit his limit.
"Feiluan, what are you waiting for?"
A commanding voice rang out — it was the head of the Zhuge Family.
He was not merely urging him on; his gaze was sharp and piercing, tinged with a trace of anger.
That prompt changed the look in Zhuge Feiluan's eyes. He no longer observed Chu Feng with the detachment of a spectator. His expression turned solemn.
"Brother Chu Feng, forgive me."
BOOM—
Zhuge Feiluan thrust both palms forward, and the barrier formation surged toward Chu Feng.
Seeing this, Chu Feng did not simply stand and wait for the blow. He stepped forward, carrying every last one of his layered formations, and shot straight toward the barrier formation in a countercharge.
At that moment, every spectator widened their eyes, unwilling to miss a single detail of this clash between barrier arts.
BOOM—
In an instant, Chu Feng arrived before the barrier formation.
He struck out with both palms. A deafening roar erupted as his attack collided head-on with the barrier formation.
