Facing Zhao Gongyi, whose nose and tears had all mingled together into a mess, Chu Feng suddenly asked, "Do you know Huangfu Shengyu?"
"I do, I do!" Zhao Gongyi nodded repeatedly.
"He… has far more backbone than you." As soon as these words left Chu Feng's mouth, a chain of martial power shot out from his palm.
*Pfft—* The martial power chain pierced straight through from head to foot, blood spraying as it impaled Zhao Gongyi's body.
"Gahhh…!" Zhao Gongyi grimaced in agony.
The martial power chain was covered in barbs, and being run through by it was excruciatingly painful.
"Hero Chu Feng."
"We were only following our family's orders — it wasn't our choice to come here."
"I haven't harmed a single person from your Ancestral Martial Galaxy. What I did just now to this young lady was wrong, and I'm willing to offer compensation."
The woman from the Blood Phoenix Royal Clan had grown frightened as well.
At the same time, the other four geniuses from the ancient families also spoke up, begging for mercy.
None of them wanted to end up in the same wretched state as Zhao Gongyi.
"Oh, so your families ordered you to come."
"Your families told you to come, so you came."
"Then if your families told you to die, would you die?" Chu Feng looked at them all with a cold expression.
"Well…" The young geniuses were all stumped by Chu Feng's question. Not one of them dared to answer.
"I don't care whether you came willingly or your families forced you. But my Ancestral Martial Galaxy is not a place you can just waltz into whenever you please."
"If you dared to come, then you must pay the price."
With those words, a sharp glint appeared in Chu Feng's eyes. The martial power chains shot out once more, and amid piercing screams, they ran through the remaining five geniuses one after another.
"Brother Chu Feng, there are others among them who have already gone to find the array eye," Zi Ling warned.
She understood Chu Feng.
On the surface, he appeared calm, but seeing her injured had already ignited his killing intent.
Moreover, he wouldn't simply kill these people outright. He would make them wish they were dead.
But now was not the time to torment them.
"It's fine, Zi Ling. There's still time."
As Chu Feng spoke, he waved his sleeve, and a formation appeared in his palm, sucking in all six ancient geniuses who had been pierced by the chains.
Then he took a single step, carrying Zi Ling with him as he soared toward the array eye.
Chu Feng didn't even need Zi Ling to guide him — during his descent, he had already locked onto the array eye's location from high above.
……
The array eye within the array eye world was actually enormous, comparable in size to an entire kingdom.
Yet within such a vast expanse, it was packed with people as far as the eye could see.
A truly surging sea of heads, shoulder to shoulder.
Virtually every top-tier junior from across the upper, middle, and lower worlds of the Ancestral Martial Galaxy had gathered here, regardless of cultivation level — so long as they were among the most outstanding in their respective worlds.
Hundreds of millions of juniors, all crammed inside this array eye.
But at this moment, these juniors were in a state of absolute panic.
Inside the array eye, they could see a colossal defensive formation shielding them beneath the sky.
But outside the formation, martial power filled the heavens, and every stray bolt carried devastating destructive force.
Such overwhelming martial power was something they had never witnessed before.
The remaining geniuses from the six ancient families had searched their way here and immediately joined forces to launch their assault.
Though they too were juniors, the attacks of these ancient geniuses struck such terror into the juniors of the Ancestral Martial Galaxy that they lost all reason.
"Weren't there formation restrictions inside this world that would prevent anyone but juniors from entering?"
"Then how did such terrifying beings still get in?"
"Heavens above, what kind of existence are these?"
"We're dead. We're dead for sure."
"I knew it — we were never a match for them."
"We're the weakest people in the entire vast cultivation world. How could we possibly contend with powerhouses from other Galaxies? This is nothing but an egg smashing against a rock."
At this moment, many were reduced to tears — not just the women, but quite a few men were crying even harder.
"Fellow juniors, do not panic! They cannot breach this defensive formation."
"All we need to do is steadily power the formation and not let them affect us. As long as they can't get in, they can do nothing to us."
Shengguang Jin'an's voice echoed throughout the entire array eye.
To calm the assembled juniors, he had stopped powering the array eye and risen into the sky above.
Moreover, using the power of the formation, he had enlarged his body ten-thousand-fold.
He simply wanted everyone to be able to see him, to see his composed demeanor, and thereby steady their emotions.
But even so, his reassurance could only do so much.
The assault raging outside was far too ferocious — it exceeded the comprehension of these juniors entirely.
