Chu Feng arrived before the door, but the moment he stepped through, he felt a surge of power manifest, spreading from within to without and enveloping his entire body.
Chu Feng was far too weak to observe any of this. All he wanted was to leave this place as quickly as possible.
Finally, Chu Feng passed through the door, and what appeared before his eyes was a bizarre world.
But before he could take a proper look, he collapsed face-first onto the ground with a thud.
Utterly exhausted, he slipped into unconsciousness...
He didn't know how long he had been unconscious before Chu Feng finally regained awareness.
When he woke, he found the world before his eyes to be utterly extraordinary.
This was a world constructed from formations — an enormous one, so vast that Chu Feng could scarcely estimate its size.
The reason he called it extraordinary was that the formations here were not entirely hidden.
Blue skies, white clouds, green mountains, and clear waters were the scenes that greeted his eyes.
Yet within every one of these scenes, traces of formations could be seen — one could even make out the trajectories of the formations in operation.
Not just Chu Feng — even someone who had never cultivated martial arts would be able to tell that this was a world forged from formations.
All along, when Spirit World Masters constructed formation worlds, they aimed for realism as the standard of perfection.
The more lifelike it was, the less visible the traces of formations, the more impressive.
But this formation was the exact opposite — it displayed its formation trajectories openly, as if terrified that others might not realize this was a world built from formations.
But... it was no half-finished product, nor was it a crude formation.
On the contrary, the formations here were extraordinarily powerful — of a level so profound that Chu Feng was far from reaching.
At the very least, his current self could never construct a formation world like this.
But after only a brief observation of the world before him, Chu Feng turned his gaze to what lay behind.
Behind him, there was a formation — laid flat upon the ground and merged as one with the earth.
This formation was in a dormant state, yet Chu Feng could still perceive its power.
He couldn't determine its purpose, but he could tell this formation was far from simple.
Chu Feng activated his Heavenly Eyes, but even they could not see through it.
He thought about using the Heavenly Master's Horsetail Whisk to test it, only to discover that his Universe Bag had been sealed — it simply would not open.
"What's going on?"
This change prompted Chu Feng to examine what had happened to his own body.
What he found was shocking — it wasn't just the Universe Bag that couldn't be opened. The changes to his body were tremendous.
His cultivation was still intact, but neither his martial power nor his barrier arts could be released. A peculiar force enveloped his entire body.
It was barrier power — the barrier power of the Fifth Level of Dragon Transformation — yet it was not simple barrier power.
"Chu Feng, what's wrong?" The Queen sensed something amiss and couldn't help but ask.
"A force has appeared on my body. It's the barrier power of the Fifth Level of Dragon Transformation."
"But what's bizarre is that this force has sealed away both my martial power and my own barrier arts."
"Now I can't manifest or use my own cultivation at all. I can only circulate this barrier power that covers my body," Chu Feng sighed.
"The Fifth Level of Dragon Transformation? Are you sure?" the Queen asked.
"I'm sure," Chu Feng replied.
"How could this be?" Hearing this, even the Queen was perplexed.
The power of Dragon Transformation was an ability comprehended by Dragon Veined Sacred Robe Spirit World Masters.
The combat power of the Fifth Level of Dragon Transformation was comparable to that of a first-rank Martial Venerable.
