Within the Formation World where the Ancient Clans resided, they could see Chu Feng's position and witnessed everything that had unfolded.
All six Ancient Clan patriarchs wore sinister expressions.
The Rock Hammer Demon Clan patriarch directly began cursing: "That little brat is openly provoking us!"
However, at that very moment, Chu Feng swept his great sleeve, and figure after figure was flung out tumbling through the air.
Those were all the young geniuses of the Ancient Clans — even Zhao Gongyi and the others were among them.
But now they were treated identically, every last one of them pierced through the body by a single chain, like an absurdly long skewer of meat strung together.
One end of that chain was gripped firmly in Chu Feng's hand. He gave it a violent yank, and the clanking of metal rang out alongside countless wails that echoed through the void.
It was the young geniuses of the Ancient Clans crying out in agony.
Amidst their anguished howls, they were arranged neatly in a row.
"What is this beast doing? Has he turned our clan's juniors into cattle?!"
The Rock Hammer Demon Clan patriarch's eyes bulged with rage.
The Palace Master of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace and the others wore equally furious expressions.
Those were not only the geniuses of their respective clans — among them were their own kin.
Yet right now, these people were like playthings in Chu Feng's hands, stripped of all dignity.
But compared to the fury of the Ancient Clans, the people of the Martial Ancestor Heavenly River found this scene nothing short of exhilarating.
Through the Sleeping Dragon Martial Sect Master's narration, they already knew that those strung together were the young geniuses of the Ancient Clans.
These young geniuses had originally come to destroy the Great Defense Formation, but Chu Feng had stopped them.
Fortunately, they hadn't succeeded. Had they succeeded, even just these juniors alone would have dealt a devastating blow to the Martial Ancestor Heavenly River.
Yet now, these once-arrogant geniuses looked so utterly pathetic.
All because of Chu Feng.
"KNEEL!!!"
Chu Feng gave the chain a sharp pull, and the young geniuses of the Ancient Clans dropped to their knees in unison.
Moreover, the posture in which they knelt was peculiar.
Under normal circumstances, when kneeling in a row, everyone would be aligned at the knees.
But these people were not. Some knelt lower, some knelt higher.
Those who knelt the lowest were the largest in build — the members of the Rock Hammer Demon Clan.
They were aligned at the neck, all their necks forming a single straight line.
"This little brat!!!"
Witnessing this scene, the Rock Hammer Demon Clan patriarch could endure no more. It strode directly out of the Formation World and into the starry sky.
The moment it set foot in the starry cosmos, a piercing roar resounded across the heavens.
"Little brat, what do you think you're doing?!"
This thunderous shout was naturally a challenge aimed at Chu Feng.
Chu Feng stood right at the edge of the Great Defense Formation, and given the Rock Hammer Demon Clan patriarch's colossal size, he could see this being with perfect clarity.
He could sense that this was an existence that surpassed the True God realm.
However, thanks to the Great Defense Formation, Chu Feng felt absolutely no fear facing this approaching giant.
Chu Feng's hand gripping the chain clenched tight, and a blade of barrier energy materialized.
This blade rapidly extended, ultimately stretching into an enormous edge over ten thousand meters long.
And Chu Feng rested this blade across the necks of every single young genius of the Ancient Clans.
So that was why Chu Feng had made them kneel in such a manner — so the blade could be placed across all their throats simultaneously.
"If you want them to live, hand over your Offensive Killing Formation. Otherwise, they die," Chu Feng said.
"Touch them and I'll annihilate your entire clan!!!"
By this point, the Rock Hammer Demon Clan patriarch had arrived outside the Great Defense Formation, separated from Chu Feng by nothing more than a single barrier.
Its massive body, standing beyond the Great Defense Formation, loomed like an enormous mountain range before Chu Feng.
And while its voice carried no direct killing power, it was immensely intimidating.
Yet Chu Feng's expression didn't change in the slightest.
He snapped the fingers of his left hand, and an incense stick appeared in his grasp.
But Chu Feng snapped the incense stick in two, leaving only one-tenth of its length.
At the same time, that remaining sliver of incense began to burn.
