No experts from Azure Mountain had been summoned, nor had any Ancient Spirits been called upon, yet Chu Feng remained utterly unperturbed, brimming with confidence.
And the more composed Chu Feng was, the more uneasy it made World Destroyer and Boundless. Although World Destroyer's strength far surpassed Chu Feng's, and killing him would have been as easy as flipping a hand — at this moment, the look Chu Feng directed at him held not the slightest hint of fear. Instead, it was filled with sheer contempt, as though Chu Feng were the tiger and he the sheep — as though Chu Feng could kill him whenever he pleased.
Under that gnawing unease, World Destroyer bellowed at Chu Feng: "Chu Feng, what kind of game are you playing?!"
"Heh heh…" Chu Feng smiled faintly, then suddenly leapt forward and arrived before the massive formation hovering in midair. His hands wove together as he formed a series of intricate seals. Only then did he speak: "You want to know? Very well — I'll satisfy your curiosity."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh — In an instant, the great formation blazed with silver light once more. This time, streak after streak of silver radiance surged outward from the formation like a meteor shower, hurtling downward.
In the end, every last one of those silver beams of light fused directly into the strange stones below.
Crack, crack — Before long, the strange stones began to split and crumble. However, only their outer shells shattered. The stone within remained utterly intact — and what was more, each piece had become a living creature.
Some resembled humans, others beasts. Though every single one of them had bodies made of stone, each stone monster possessed a pair of blood-red eyes that burned with killing intent.
Most importantly, these stone monsters had not merely come alive — every single one of them possessed the cultivation of Martial Emperor.
And the number of stone monsters Chu Feng had resurrected through his formation was no less than several tens of thousands.
"This… this… this!!!"
In that moment, forget about Boundless Immortal — even World Destroyer was so shaken he could barely form words.
A full hundred thousand stone monsters, every one of them at the Martial Emperor realm. The weakest were first-rate Martial Emperors, and the bulk of them fell between third-rate and sixth-rate Martial Emperors. While those above sixth-rate were not numerous, there were still a fair number among them. The two strongest stone monsters even possessed cultivation on par with World Destroyer himself — eighth-rate Martial Emperors.
"How can this be?! How is this possible?! What in the world is going on — what are these things?!!"
World Destroyer simply could not believe what he was seeing.
It was far too shocking. Although the strange stones in this place had existed since the primordial era, not a single soul had ever imagined that they were such formidable beings.
"Weren't you curious about what secret the Ancestor's Secret Technique left behind?"
"Then let me show you the secret within."
"Kill them." Without warning, Chu Feng pointed at World Destroyer and Boundless Immortal as he spoke.
Roooar — The moment those words left Chu Feng's lips, the full hundred thousand stone monsters unleashed an ear-splitting roar.
And at the same time, those hundred thousand stone monsters surged forward like an army obeying orders, converging on World Destroyer and Boundless Immortal.
Those two stone monsters whose cultivation had reached eighth-rate Martial Emperor led the charge, crossing the distance in the blink of an eye and arriving right before Boundless Immortal and World Destroyer.
Each of them towered a hundred meters tall, like a pair of small mountains. Not only were they humanoid in shape — they were clad in armor, resembling two great generals. Before World Destroyer, they were true giants.
And though the weapons in their hands were made of stone, every time they clashed with World Destroyer's Emperor Armament, they erupted with blinding radiance. Their power was nothing short of tremendous.
Under these circumstances, World Destroyer no longer dared engage them in close combat. He retreated to the sky and launched attacks using martial skills from afar.
Yet those two stone monsters were not only fierce in close quarters — their ranged attacks were equally formidable. They opened their massive jaws and spewed clouds and mist, wielding the energies of metal, wood, water, and fire with effortless mastery. At their most terrifying, their attacks reached the level of Heaven-restricted martial skills.
Boom boom — Boom boom boom — In an instant, World Destroyer found himself locked in battle with the two stone monsters.
