Meanwhile, Chu Feng and Wang Yuxian had already entered the barrier tunnel.
The structure of this barrier tunnel was quite simple, and it wasn't very long. As long as they could pass through safely, they should be able to cross the barrier gate.
Such a flaw in the barrier was something one would rarely encounter.
But right now, Chu Feng and Wang Yuxian found themselves struggling to move forward.
Their pace was exceedingly slow.
Because layer after layer of needle-like barrier force was sweeping toward them from every direction like a torrential downpour.
It was continuously bombarding Chu Feng and Wang Yuxian.
The barrier force striking from the front was by far the most overwhelming in quantity.
Wang Yuxian hid close to Chu Feng's side while Chu Feng kept swinging his arms, moving them rapidly to form a shield, shielding Wang Yuxian within his protection.
Though the two of them were traveling together, right now it was Chu Feng alone using his body to withstand the barrier's attacks.
There were two reasons for this.
First, the barrier force simply could not be defended against. Chu Feng and Wang Yuxian had already tried — whether it was barrier force, martial power, treasures, or weapons, none of them could block the barrier force's attacks.
The barrier force would inevitably land on their bodies.
So this barrage of barrier force had to be endured head-on. There was simply no way to avoid it.
Second — and most importantly — The barrier force would cause harm to both Chu Feng and Wang Yuxian.
But the damage it inflicted on Chu Feng was far lesser.
That was why, even though Wang Yuxian was being shielded by Chu Feng, her complexion looked even worse than his.
If Wang Yuxian continued to endure the barrier force's attacks, she would surely die.
"Chu Feng, I'm sorry."
"I came in hoping to help you, but instead I've become a burden to you."
Hiding in Chu Feng's embrace, watching him scramble to keep her safe — using his own flesh to block the barrier force's attacks — Wang Yuxian felt deeply ashamed.
"Don't be silly. Since we came in together, we'll leave together," Chu Feng said with a smile.
Though he was indeed enduring the barrier force's attacks, this kind of pain was nothing to Chu Feng.
If this level of pain was unbearable for an ordinary person, for Chu Feng it was nothing more than a dull ache — one he could easily withstand.
This was the greatest reward Chu Feng had gained along his journey: perseverance.
An extraordinary willpower, unlike that of normal people, gave Chu Feng an exceptionally high tolerance for difficult circumstances and pain.
This kind of perseverance could not be obtained through ordinary cultivation methods. It could only be gradually forged through enduring trials and hardships, through the torment of both body and soul.
Of course, that was not to say that Chu Feng could withstand the barrier force simply because of his powerful willpower.
The barrier force genuinely caused far less damage to Chu Feng.
As for Wang Yuxian, it was practically lethal.
Chu Feng didn't know why such a difference existed, but right now he had no time to dwell on it. He had to get out of here as quickly as possible.
Only by stepping outside would they truly be safe.
And fortunately, the tunnel contained only this needle-like barrier force. Even in the second half, they encountered no further attacks or obstacles.
Though the process was somewhat drawn out, Chu Feng and Wang Yuxian still managed to make their way through the barrier tunnel without incident.
The moment they passed through the barrier tunnel, they had indeed crossed the barrier gate.
And on the other side of the barrier gate lay an entirely different world.
