"Listen to me, I can still hold on," Chu Feng said.
"No," Li Yue'er refused.
"This time, I can't afford to fail. I must succeed. Girl... listen to me, help me," Chu Feng said urgently.
Although from the very beginning, he had known that this attempt to forge a Half-Completed Immortal Armament only had a slim chance of success.
Chu Feng had still approached it with the determination that he absolutely had to succeed.
He needed to advance his cultivation as quickly as possible. Only by raising his strength could he stand against the Soul Infant Sect.
Otherwise, he feared that once the Soul Infant Sect's current conspiracy succeeded, their next target would be Ying Mingchao and the others.
"Hurry! I can't hold on much longer!" Chu Feng shouted.
At that moment, a deeply troubled expression crossed Li Yue'er's face, but after a brief inner struggle, she carefully transferred the auxiliary formation master's formation eye from beneath her to Chu Feng's body.
Then she withdrew from the Great Weapon Forging Array.
After stepping out of the array, Li Yue'er collapsed to the ground. She was truly exhausted.
But she had no time to rest. Her anxious gaze was fixed on Chu Feng.
Now that she had withdrawn from the Great Weapon Forging Array — if before, the array had been sustained by both her and Chu Feng together, then now, the entire burden of the Great Weapon Forging Array fell on Chu Feng alone. All of the pressure rested upon his shoulders.
"Ahhhh~~~"
The moment Li Yue'er stepped out of the Great Weapon Forging Array, Chu Feng let out a thunderous roar. In the next instant, a torrent of barrier power surged from within his body and merged with the array itself.
"Chu Feng, have you lost your mind?! How can you be so reckless?!"
Seeing this, Her Majesty immediately panicked.
Chu Feng had fused himself with the Great Array, becoming one with it.
This fusion would help Chu Feng control the array more effectively, and comparatively, it would save him a great deal of energy.
Given that Chu Feng's power was nearly depleted, using this method was indeed a viable option.
However, once this method was employed, Chu Feng's fate would be bound to the array's — they would live or die together.
Right now, Chu Feng had only one way to survive: successfully forge this Half-Completed Immortal Armament.
Otherwise, what awaited him was certain death.
From this point forward, even if Chu Feng wanted to stop, he could not. The Great Weapon Forging Array would automatically draw barrier power from his body, and he had absolutely no way to control it.
"Ahhhh~~~"
As the Great Weapon Forging Array continued to operate, it began to forcibly extract Chu Feng's barrier power.
Under these circumstances, Chu Feng endured tremendous pressure. The pain was agonizing, driving him to roar over and over again.
He was staking everything — pushing the last ounce of his strength to complete the array.
Succeed, or perish!!
Under Chu Feng's full exertion, the entire Great Weapon Forging Array began to blaze with blinding light.
The Great Weapon Forging Array trembled. The surging power within it trembled. Even the entire palace trembled.
The Great Weapon Forging Array was shrinking, condensing toward the Divine Dragon Blood Ruler.
In that moment, whether it was Li Yue'er standing outside the array or Dandan within Chu Feng's body, both clenched their fists tightly, trembling with tension.
Because once the Great Weapon Forging Array successfully merged into the Divine Dragon Blood Ruler, the Half-Completed Immortal Armament would be complete.
If not, it would be a failure.
But what worried them most right now was whether Chu Feng could hold on long enough.
Chu Feng was forging this weapon with his life, so there could only be two outcomes.
One was that Chu Feng successfully completed the forging of the Half-Completed Immortal Armament.
