"Chu Feng, let this queen out." Inside the Spirit Space, Eggy's exquisitely beautiful little face was brimming with killing intent.
"There's no need for my queen to get involved against him."
After responding to Eggy, Chu Feng turned to Jie Mubai and said, "You want what I have on me? Come and try to take it."
Boom— With nothing more than a thought from Jie Mubai, massive powers of sealing erupted from his body like a volcano, instantly transforming into a colossal sealing beast that lunged to swallow Chu Feng whole.
But as those sealing powers drew close to Chu Feng, they struck an invisible wall and were completely blocked.
The next moment, the swirling sandstorm and gale that had been dominating this world turned and attacked Jie Mubai instead.
This storm of wind and sand was far more powerful than the trial Chu Feng had faced earlier.
Under normal circumstances, no matter what realm Jie Mubai occupied, he would have perished within this tempest.
Because the storm of wind and sand ignored all formations. Ignored all treasures.
But soon, even Chu Feng showed a flash of surprise in his eyes.
The swirling storm hovered a single meter away from Jie Mubai—and could advance no closer.
It was a sliver of light.
Originating from Jie Mubai's hand.
Jie Mubai was holding a bronze candle that emitted a faint greenish glow, and it was precisely that light that kept the black sand from drawing near.
And that candle carried the same aura as the tombstone, which made Chu Feng realize that although Jie Mubai had been unable to break the formation here, he had not walked away empty-handed. Long before Chu Feng's arrival, he had already obtained this candle.
This candle was essentially a death-exemption token for this place, which was why he could withstand the storm's assault without fear.
"Is that where your confidence comes from?" Jie Mubai gripped the candle and asked Chu Feng.
He could certainly tell that both the blocking of his attacks and the manipulation of the storm were benefits Chu Feng had gained from breaking the formation.
But this also exposed the truth—Chu Feng did not have a powerful figure backing him.
If he did, there would have been no need for such elaborate measures.
And so, Jie Mubai swept his great sleeve, and with a thunderous roar, the surrounding earth tore apart. Massive pillars of light shot up from the ground, each one comparable in stature to the tombstone itself.
The pillars radiated sealing powers, linking together to form a gigantic cage of light that enshrouded the entire world.
The formation was a sealing array that Jie Mubai had laid down long ago.
"Though the storm's power is formidable, it can only attack living things."
"As for the formation power of this place, your mastery of it is clearly limited—you can only protect yourself, and only within a specific range at that."
"With these as your only cards, how do you plan to break through my sealing formation?"
Jie Mubai stared at Chu Feng, his gaze dripping with provocation.
Chu Feng turned his wrist, and a teleportation talisman appeared in his hand.
It was the very teleportation formation that Chu Feng had previously instructed Jie Mubai to set up. Crushing this talisman would allow him to enter the teleportation formation.
"Hahahaha…"
But upon seeing that slip of paper, Jie Mubai burst into laughter, the sound grating and harsh.
Because he had long since tampered with that talisman. The one in his own hand could activate the teleportation formation, but the one he had given Chu Feng was useless.
Yet what Chu Feng did next made the smile freeze on his face.
Chu Feng tore the teleportation talisman to shreds.
"You think I couldn't tell this talisman was useless?" Chu Feng asked in reply.
"If you already knew, then you should realize you have no way out," Jie Mubai said.
"Who told you I need a talisman to activate the teleportation formation?"
Chu Feng smiled faintly, then formed a hand seal and vanished on the spot—he had entered the teleportation formation.
"That bastard."
Seeing this, Jie Mubai hurriedly crushed his own talisman, eager to follow Chu Feng into the teleportation formation.
But after shattering the talisman, he was stunned to discover that he was still standing right where he had been. He had not entered the teleportation formation at all.
"Damn it."
Only in that moment did he realize—he had underestimated Chu Feng once again.
