While the formation's power continued to bombard Chu Feng and Yuwen Yanri, the formation itself kept changing, growing ever more dazzling.
Eventually, the light blazed to such intensity that it formed a colossal body of radiance, cutting off all visibility and separating Chu Feng and Yuwen Yanri from the crowd.
"There really is a Martial Dao."
At that moment, everyone could sense the Martial Dao.
But it had nothing to do with them now. Outside the formation, there was simply no way to comprehend it.
Yet even inside the formation, they would have been unable to. Having sensed the Martial Dao, they also naturally sensed just how difficult it was to comprehend.
It was a difficulty beyond their reach.
"The formation has reached its grand completion. We've arrived at the critical moment."
Huangfu Zhantian sighed.
Whoosh— The moment his words left his lips, those beams of light shattered, scattering outward like hundreds of millions of luminous butterflies.
The runic glyphs returned to their original state from when they had first arrived.
The figures of Chu Feng and Yuwen Yanri finally emerged.
Though Yuwen Yanri was drenched in sweat and breathing heavily, his aura was stable and he was perfectly fine. Moreover, an excited smile hung on his face.
Such an expression was rarely seen on Yuwen Yanri's face.
He had not broken through, but the gains were still substantial, and this experience was incredibly precious to him.
The experience itself had even surpassed the harvest.
As for Chu Feng, needless to say, he hadn't even broken a sweat.
"It may not have been enough to break through, but the feeling was truly exhilarating."
"Brother Chu Feng, wouldn't you agree?"
Yuwen Yanri looked toward Chu Feng, a look of mutual appreciation in his eyes. He had no intention of competing with Chu Feng—on the contrary, he genuinely enjoyed the experience of fathoming the mysteries together with him.
But when he looked, he couldn't help but freeze.
He discovered that Chu Feng had already settled into a cross-legged position.
Boom— Thunder erupted across the sky. Looking up, the boundless void was already shrouded in dense black clouds, and nine-colored lightning wove through the cloud layers, radiating a world-destroying might.
Strange phenomena appeared in the heavens.
As the lightning descended, it surged straight toward Chu Feng, then dissipated just as quickly.
Yuwen Yanri revealed a complex smile.
"There's still a gap between Brother Chu Feng and me."
The reason he lamented so was that Chu Feng had already successfully broken through.
His cultivation had stepped into the Sixth Grade True God realm.
"Even among geniuses, there are gaps."
The Lord of the Divine Body Heavenly Palace sighed with emotion. He had always believed that his grandson Yuwen Yanri was not inferior to Chu Feng.
It was simply that, due to his low-key personality, he had done few things to make a name for himself.
But today's events made him realize that even though his grandson Yuwen Yanri was already astonishingly talented, there was still a gap when compared to Chu Feng.
"How does it feel?"
The Clan Master of the Huangfu Heavenly Clan also looked toward Huangfu Zhantian, a slight smile at the corner of his lips.
"A monster like that truly can't be compared to."
Huangfu Zhantian smiled faintly, then winked at the Clan Master of the Huangfu Heavenly Clan.
"So the decision to befriend Chu Feng was simply damn well the right one."
Huangfu Zhantian's secret voice transmission echoed in the ears of the Clan Master of the Huangfu Heavenly Clan.
The Clan Master of the Huangfu Heavenly Clan returned the smile as well. He too felt that this decision had been incomparably correct.
"The additional benefits are only these."
"Next, it's time to unravel the secrets of this place."
At this moment, Chu Feng also felt refreshed and invigorated. Though having reached the Sixth Grade True God, he was still no match for the Heavenly God realm.
But having reached this realm, even for Chu Feng, breaking through further would not be easy. Regardless, he had taken one step closer to the Heavenly God realm.
Once he stepped into the Heavenly God realm, Chu Feng's confidence would be entirely different.
Afterward, Chu Feng began arranging the order of those talismans. It sounded simple, but to sort them correctly, even Chu Feng would need a lengthy process.
……
After departing, Jie Mubai was in an extremely foul mood.
His original intention had been to seek assistance from the Zhao Immortal Clan, but he had also heard that their relationship with Chu Feng seemed rather extraordinary.
He feared that even if he informed the Zhao Immortal Clan, they would be unwilling to help with this matter.
