Though no one knew the true purpose of this formation, the formation diagram was enough to show them how to set it up.
Then, Kong Yuehua and Kong Xuanlian also joined the effort to construct the formation.
The scene was quite spectacular. After all, these were experts from various factions across the realm, gathered together to work toward a single goal.
Even those who had been enemies were temporarily setting aside their grudges to construct the formation side by side — truly astonishing.
"Grandmaster, it has been a long time."
In the midst of the great formation, a man carrying three swords on his back quietly approached a grandmaster.
"How wonderful, how wonderful. So it's True Master Three Swords. It really has been too long. The last time we met was at Cloud Crane Mountain, wasn't it?" Upon seeing the newcomer, the grandmaster rose with a smile on his face, pausing his work for the moment.
This sword-carrying man was none other than True Master Three Swords of the Sword-Wielding Immortal Gate, and the grandmaster was Grandmaster Koudai.
Back on Cloud Crane Mountain, both of them had received Chu Feng's help, and both had helped Chu Feng in turn.
Though their acquaintance with Chu Feng had been brief, they could be considered to have some connection.
And they had both seen great potential in Chu Feng from the very beginning.
"Yes, thinking back on it now, it's almost hard to believe."
"Even though I long ago predicted that young friend Chu Feng would achieve great things, I never imagined he would reach such heights." True Master Three Swords sighed with emotion again and again.
Grandmaster Koudai gazed around at the magnificent scene before them and could not help but remark, "Such charm is truly remarkable. It belongs only to a king."
"Charm?" True Master Three Swords paused briefly, then couldn't help but laugh. "Indeed. To make so many people willingly gather here to construct a formation together — that truly is young friend Chu Feng's personal charisma."
"He conquered the hearts of so many across the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm in just a few short years."
With those words, True Master Three Swords acknowledged Grandmaster Koudai's assessment.
In both their eyes, Chu Feng's personal charisma was one in a million.
It was the charisma of a king.
And this shared conviction only further proved that both of them believed Chu Feng would one day become the king of this Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm.
...
Outside, the joint effort to save Chu Feng by constructing the formation was an awe-inspiring endeavor.
But Chu Feng was completely unaware of it all. He continued pressing forward within the Gate of the Underworld.
And naturally, he continued to be tormented by those crimson blades.
By now, Chu Feng was covered in wounds, his flesh mangled and bloody — there was not a single patch of intact skin left on his entire body.
What was more, even though Chu Feng was an Immortal-Robed Spirit World Master who possessed numerous miraculous healing medicines, none of them had any effect on his injuries.
Chu Feng could not make the wounds heal, so at this moment he looked genuinely terrifying — a true blood-soaked man.
It would almost be inaccurate to even call him human. At this point, he looked more like a monster.
Because from within those wounds, red flames of energy continued to emanate.
The flames rose and churned, blood-red light surging — the sight was truly horrifying.
An ordinary person would never have been able to endure such torture.
But Chu Feng possessed one advantage over ordinary people: not only was his willpower extraordinarily strong, but after enduring such prolonged suffering, he gradually grew accustomed to the torment.
Though Chu Feng could not escape the pain, the agony he now felt was no longer as sharp as it had been at first.
Under these circumstances, Chu Feng actually quickened his pace.
Finally, an exit appeared before him.
He cut through the remaining blades and stepped out through the exit, only to discover a pool of water.
The pool wasn't large, but the water was crystal clear all the way to the bottom.
"This pool..."
At the sight of it, Chu Feng's eyes brightened.
As an Immortal-Robed Spirit World Master, he could tell at a single glance that this seemingly ordinary pool water possessed healing properties.
Without a moment's hesitation, Chu Feng leaped from the Gate of the Underworld's exit directly into the pool.
Ssss—
The moment he entered the water, the red flames emanating from his body grew even more intense, erupting like a small volcano. Crimson energy immediately shrouded the entire area.
More importantly, centered around Chu Feng, a layer of red gas began spreading outward through the water.
The once crystal-clear pool quickly grew murky, resembling a pool of congealed blood.
But the pain in Chu Feng's body was simultaneously fading.
"It's gone?"
