"Brother Chengyu, get a little closer to him," Chu Feng said.
Long Chengyu then led everyone closer to the eye of the formation.
Feng Jiuyue, sensing the moment, also deactivated the concealing formation.
"Qi Weidao, how does it feel?" Chu Feng called out.
"Chu Feng, you did this? Was it all you?!" Qi Weidao roared the moment he spotted Chu Feng.
"Qi Weidao, this isn't something I, Chu Feng, could accomplish."
"But the reason you've ended up in such a state is indeed thanks to the Master of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace."
"This place was never a tempering formation at all. It is a Refinement Grand Formation."
"Your Blood-Eyed Kirin Clan, the Totem Dragon Clan, and the Totem Phoenix Clan — all of you were prepared as sacrifices by the Master of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace for this refinement formation," Chu Feng said.
"Impossible. That's impossible." Qi Weidao's face was initially filled with disbelief, but soon fury surged into his eyes.
He wavered, because he could indeed feel that his body was being refined.
"Qi Weidao, don't panic. I can save you."
"Tell me now — where are your Blood-Eyed Kirin Clan members right now?"
"Have you already been taking orders from the Seven Realms Sacred Palace?" Chu Feng asked.
"Yes. Back then, our Blood-Eyed Kirin Clan was nearly wiped out entirely by the Totem Dragon Clan and the Totem Phoenix Clan. It was the Seven Realms Sacred Palace that saved our ancestors."
"It was also the Seven Realms Sacred Palace that forged everything, deceiving the Totem Dragon Clan and the Totem Phoenix Clan of that era into believing our Blood-Eyed Kirin Clan had gone extinct."
"Now, all of our clan members live within an ancient mobile city. The entire clan has already arrived in the Primordial Star Sea."
"Chu Feng, I can't hold on much longer. Whatever you want to know, just get me out of here first, and I'll tell you everything," Qi Weidao said.
"Qi Weidao, I don't trust you."
"To show your sincerity, throw out all the treasures on you," Chu Feng said.
"Take them, I'll give you everything. I'll give you my divine weapon too..."
"My clan members have all been refined to death by me and can no longer provide me with any combat strength."
"If I lose my divine weapon as well, I'm no match for Long Chengyu at all. There's no reason for you all to fear me anymore."
Gritting through the pain, Qi Weidao tossed out his divine weapon, his Universe Bag, and several other treasures.
Chu Feng reached out and grabbed them all into his hand.
"Chu Feng, save me! Hurry, save me! I can't hold on anymore!"
Qi Weidao wasn't lying. From outside, Chu Feng and the others could clearly see that his physical body had already begun to burn away. At this rate, he would surely die.
"Qi Weidao, I, Chu Feng, am a man who keeps his word."
"But only toward good people. As for you..."
"Sorry, I lied to you. I don't have the ability to save you," Chu Feng said.
"Chu Feng, you bastard! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
"I won't let you go even as a ghost! I'll— AAGH!!!"
Qi Weidao let out an incredibly wretched scream. Then, from within his body, one after another blood-red aura emerged, beginning to merge into the eye of the formation.
"That's..."
"That looks like the Blood-Eyed Kirin Clan members hidden inside Qi Weidao's body."
"Weren't they already dead? Can the dead be refined by the eye of the formation's power too?"
Feng Jiuyue, after all, was an Imperial Dragon God Robe, and she noticed the irregularity.
"Never mind the Blood-Eyed Kirin Clan members who died inside Qi Weidao."
"Even those who have already turned to ash — their bloodlines will still be refined by this Refinement Grand Formation."
"The power of this Refinement Grand Formation is simply beyond the scope of our understanding."
"So this place doesn't care whether you kill each other, because even in death, even reduced to ash, there is no escape from its refinement. Everything will be put to its use," Chu Feng said.
"Truly terrifying. So Chu Feng, what do we do? How do we get out of here?"
Having witnessed the horror of that formation eye, everyone grew even more frightened.
"Relax. We'll be fine."
Chu Feng looked down at the compass in his hand and said.
Hummmm—
At that moment, the compass began to vibrate violently, and the eye of the formation likewise started shaking intensely.
Seeing this, the members of the Totem Dragon Clan and the Totem Phoenix Clan became even more panicked.
"It's coming." Chu Feng, however, remained relatively calm.
BOOM—
Suddenly, the eye of the formation spread outward at an inconceivable speed.
In the blink of an eye, the entire world was engulfed by the power of that formation eye.
The whole world was filled with that terrifying refinement force — a true living hell.
As for Chu Feng and the others, they remained perfectly unharmed.
