Finally, Chu Feng and Xiao Yu'er arrived at the area where the black power resided.
Chu Feng stepped directly into it, with Xiao Yu'er close behind.
The moment they entered, the black power went berserk, assaulting them both.
"Xiao Yu'er, can you hold on?" Chu Feng looked toward Xiao Yu'er.
As the black power surged back and forth through his body, he could feel just how terrifying this force truly was.
Even though he had already witnessed Xiao Yu'er's unique way of coping, he still couldn't help but worry.
"Big brother, I'm fine." Xiao Yu'er flashed Chu Feng a bright smile.
But Chu Feng could tell that smile was forced.
Then again, that was only natural. The black power was already pushing Chu Feng himself to the very limit of what he could endure.
"Give it a try. If it doesn't work out, fall back to something easier."
"Okay." Xiao Yu'er nodded obediently.
Chu Feng suppressed the searing pain of his soul being torn apart, sat cross-legged, and began employing the method he had previously comprehended.
He would use his bloodline power to manipulate the black power.
The method was difficult, though the explanation was deceptively simple.
The black power coursed through Chu Feng's body, and whenever it entered him, he could harness his bloodline power and apply the techniques he had grasped to capture that black power.
As long as the capture succeeded, it could be put to his own use.
Once this power merged with his bloodline power, it would become the material for building the house — and construction could begin.
But the pain was only one aspect. Every time the power entered his body, it also delivered a devastating impact on his mind.
Those whose resolve was insufficient would instantly fall into deviation — or their bodies would explode and they would die, to say nothing of attempting anything else.
Under such conditions, maintaining mental focus was extraordinarily difficult.
Yet Chu Feng quickly adapted and succeeded in capturing the power in short order.
As the captured power accumulated, he began the construction.
"Big brother."
But suddenly, Xiao Yu'er's voice rang out.
Chu Feng looked toward the sound and saw that Xiao Yu'er had already withdrawn from the black power's domain.
When she noticed Chu Feng looking her way, she immediately said: "Big brother, the power here is far too violent. I can't focus my Mental Power enough to capture it. I'm going to try a different power instead."
"Alright." Chu Feng didn't offer much in the way of instruction. He knew Xiao Yu'er was a girl who knew her own limits.
For instance, she and Chu Feng had barely spent any time inside the black power's area. Since she could withstand the black power's onslaught, she could have devoted far more time to attempting the capture.
But she didn't — which meant she had made her own judgment and wouldn't waste effort on futile attempts.
Chu Feng, however, didn't resume right away. Instead, he watched Xiao Yu'er leave.
Even knowing that she was sensible and measured in her actions, worry was still worry.
Xiao Yu'er ultimately entered the golden power's domain. Once she stepped inside and Chu Feng confirmed she wasn't suffering any significant harm, he finally continued.
As time passed, Chu Feng grew ever more adept. His capture speed increased, and naturally, the speed of the house's construction quickened as well.
At the same time, he kept an eye on Xiao Yu'er's progress on the other side.
Xiao Yu'er adapted to the golden power quickly, succeeded in capturing it, and began construction of her own.
She was even building faster than Chu Feng, and before long, she had surpassed him.
