Chu Feng raised his head, gazing through the barrier gate at the scene outside. He was perfectly calm, without a trace of panic on his face.
But in truth, through that barrier gate, one could see that the world outside had already been turned upside down.
Nearly everyone had stopped paying attention to the Summit of Nine Heavens and was instead focused on the sky above.
The light was brilliant, stretching all the way to the horizon. The massive formation jointly arranged by numerous experts of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace blanketed heaven and earth.
The anomaly and the formation shrouded the world simultaneously.
The spectacle was like two armies facing off against each other.
When the formation's power surged, heaven and earth trembled violently, and the immense force caused countless fissures to appear across the land.
And this sight was not limited to just Burning Veins Village — the entire world was the same.
If the Seven Realms Sacred Palace wished it, the formation's power could easily destroy this world.
Yet such formidable formation power was now focused upon a single, minuscule figure.
And yet, that minuscule figure was able to withstand this terrifying formation power.
That person was none other than the Seven Realms Palace Master.
When the Seven Realms Palace Master appeared, the previously clamorous world fell several degrees quieter.
Before this old man, people had to weigh their words carefully before speaking.
If the most feared force in the vast martial cultivation world today was the Seven Realms Sacred Palace, then the most feared person in the vast martial cultivation world was undoubtedly the Seven Realms Palace Master — Jie Tianran.
The Seven Realms Palace Master pressed his palms together, then formed a technique seal.
Rumble— In an instant, heaven and earth trembled even more violently, as if the entire world were about to be overturned.
The ground began to churn, the void began to crack.
In moments, whether in the sky or on the ground, the younger generation could barely stand steady, requiring the support of their elders to maintain their footing.
In their panic, the vast crowd scattered like startled birds.
As the Seven Realms Palace Master opened his palms, a circular formation compass flew out from them.
After leaving his hands, the compass rapidly expanded.
In the blink of an eye, it had grown into a colossal object that blotted out the sky.
The compass was covered in barrier runes, and at this moment, as the Seven Realms Palace Master's technique seals changed, it spun rapidly.
A tremendous gravitational force emanated from the compass. Though it had nothing to do with the earth, it blanketed the void.
In an instant, everything in the void was drawn into the compass.
Even the Origin of Veins stirred, like a newly formed tornado assuming a falling posture, hurtling toward the compass.
But it halted in midair — the two did not truly merge.
Still, this sight filled everyone with unease.
"He wouldn't... actually absorb the Origin of Veins into that, would he?"
Long Chengyu and the others wore tense expressions. Naturally, they did not want the Seven Realms Palace Master to succeed.
"Don't worry. He won't be able to."
Compared to them, Chu Feng remained composed.
However, as he spoke, Chu Feng was already soaring through the air, arriving before the barrier gate.
Hum— But the moment Chu Feng drew close, golden runes appeared, blocking his path.
Chu Feng extended his hand while carefully examining the golden runes. He knew they contained some power, and something important.
