"Boom, boom, boom!"
The powerful martial art set the night sky ablaze. A Martial Lord's strength was truly formidable. If he wished, using this martial art, he could destroy an ordinary mountain range with ease.
Yet even so, Chu Feng showed not a hint of fear. He stood in the air, his gaze burning like torches, his hands shifting rapidly. A torrent of purple barrier power surged forth from within him, and in the blink of an eye, it had formed a massive barrier formation.
"Hmph! You think you can use a barrier to withstand my Flame Meteor? How naive!"
If Chu Feng had used a martial art to retaliate, Zhu Diguang might have been wary. But seeing that Chu Feng had actually chosen to use a barrier to block his martial art, confidence surged within him. He circulated his martial power and began pushing his eighth-rank martial art, the Flame Meteor, to its fullest, intending to crush Chu Feng with this one technique.
"Heh."
But against Zhu Diguang's amplified martial art, Chu Feng simply smiled. As the sky rained down with flaming meteors from below, his hands suddenly shifted. An invisible force flowed into the barrier formation.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!"
This time, there was no earth-shattering boom as expected, no terrifying ripples or raging flames. Each powerful fireball, as if plunging into water, was entirely absorbed by the barrier formation standing before Chu Feng.
"How is this possible?!" Zhu Diguang's expression changed drastically. He never would have imagined that his most proficient martial art would not only fail to harm Chu Feng — it hadn't even created the slightest intimidation.
"What's going on? That's no ordinary barrier — it's a formation! It actually swallowed an eighth-rank martial art outright?" In truth, it wasn't just Zhu Diguang who was stunned. Every peer present stood slack-jawed, utterly dumbfounded by Chu Feng's methods.
"Could this kind of formation be…?"
"Impossible! He's still just a purple-robed Spirit World Master, and his opponent right now is a second-rank Martial Lord. How could he possibly succeed in executing this kind of formation?" However, compared to the younger generation, many of the veteran powerhouses present had their eyes light up, guessing at a possibility.
But the thought flashed and vanished just as quickly. None of them believed that with Chu Feng's cultivation, he could complete such a formation — let alone use it against Zhu Diguang, who was an entire rank above him.
"Senior Brother Zhu, impressive momentum, but the power is a bit lacking. Allow me to lend you a hand and make up for the shortcomings of your martial art."
Chu Feng sneered from high in the sky. At the same time, the massive purple barrier formation began spinning faster, rumbling and trembling violently. Under these conditions, the formation's glow grew ever brighter — its purple radiance spreading outward like a violet sun hanging in the night sky.
"Awooo!"
Suddenly, a series of shrill cries rang out in succession. From the purple barrier formation, a torrent of flames surged forth, erupting outward and transforming into countless flame raptors.
The sky filled with flame raptors descending from above, each letting out piercing shrieks and carrying with them a terrifying aura. This scene, this overwhelming pressure, bore a striking resemblance to the Flame Meteor that Zhu Diguang had unleashed earlier.
But the critical difference was that those fireballs had now become flame raptors that seemed to possess a will of their own, and in terms of sheer power, they were even stronger.
"Heavens — it really is a reversal formation! At his age, how could he command such a formation, and wield it with such mastery?" Seeing this, some of the veteran experts couldn't help but cry out in astonishment, their aged faces filled with shock.
"Master, what kind of formation is this? It's incredibly powerful!" Gao Xiong was also stunned by the spectacle unfolding in the sky, and he turned to his master, the Centipede Elder, and asked curiously.
