"Don't worry, Chu Feng."
"The two of them will definitely succeed in opening it."
"And from the looks of it, since someone has already felt the calling from the first five stars, it's highly likely that someone has felt it from the remaining two as well."
"There will be no shortage of people who can open them."
"It's just strange that you didn't feel any calling at all?" Egg asked.
"I really didn't feel anything, but I'll take your kind words, my Queen."
Chu Feng was indeed confident that he could open one of the stars, but as for the other one, among their current group, there truly wasn't a suitable candidate.
Still, Chu Feng wasn't overly worried. He felt Egg made a very good point — the other two stars likely already had inheritors chosen by the Primordial Burial Ground itself.
With that, Chu Feng sat cross-legged on the ground and began his cultivation.
The inheritances here hadn't been opened by him, so there wasn't much Chu Feng could discern at the moment.
Whether they succeeded or not would depend entirely on the New King and Song Yun's own abilities.
As for the others, they each began cultivating as well.
Particularly Yuwen Yanri, Wang Qiang, Bai Yunqing, Xiao Yu'er, and Xianhai Shaoyu.
They had each obtained inheritances but hadn't fully merged with them yet, so as long as they had time, they continued the process of fusion.
But as time passed, everyone's eyes snapped open simultaneously, and they rose into the air as one, gazing toward the second tombstone.
The ground had begun to tremble violently, countless cracks spreading outward. If this continued, the entire world's earth would collapse.
And the cause of it all was that very tombstone — the one engraved with the words "Tomb of the Nine-Eyed Demon Flame."
The tombstone was trembling, though the vibration was so slight that an ordinary person wouldn't even be able to perceive its magnitude.
Yet this barely perceptible trembling was enough to bring about the collapse of the entire land.
"Could it be that this tombstone is actually a sealing formation?" Chu Feng's brow furrowed deeply as he quickly turned to Shen Hui.
"Shen Hui, deploy a sealing formation."
Shen Hui was, after all, a Heavenly Dragon Spirit World Master — what Chu Feng had perceived, she had already perceived as well.
So the moment Chu Feng spoke, the Spirit God Clan had already begun setting up their formation.
In an instant, a formation that blotted out the sky and sun enveloped the tombstone, layer upon layer, spiraling ceaselessly around it.
But the tombstone's trembling only intensified, and cracks even began to appear on its surface.
Boom— Suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted from within the tombstone.
That power was simply unstoppable.
In the blink of an eye, it shattered the sealing formation that the Spirit God Clan had deployed.
The entire world was engulfed by an eerie purple hue, as though it had fallen from the realm of the living into the realm of the dead.
It was that power.
That power had covered the entire tomb world in nearly an instant, producing this very spectacle.
"This is bad."
Even Chu Feng, who was always composed, furrowed his brow even deeper, because right now, not a single person among them could move.
They had all been restrained.
But it wasn't just a matter of Chu Feng and the others losing their freedom.
Sensing danger, Egg immediately tried to open the Spirit World Gate, wanting to step out and protect Chu Feng.
But she found that it wouldn't open.
"Chu Feng, why can't I open the Spirit World Gate?" Egg asked in confusion, half suspecting Chu Feng was behind it.
"This is a technique — unless your strength surpasses the opponent's, there isn't even enough space to deploy your own abilities."
"Even the Spirit World Gate cannot be opened," Chu Feng explained.
"How could this happen so suddenly? Could there be something alive inside that tombstone?"
Egg grew increasingly uneasy. If she couldn't get out, then even with all her extraordinary abilities, she would have no way to use them.
"From the looks of it, there is indeed something terrifying sealed within that tombstone."
Though Chu Feng couldn't move his body, his eyes could still shift.
Right now, nearly everyone's gaze was locked on that tombstone.
From within its cracks, a dark purple flame was already releasing itself — darker and denser than the purple that blanketed heaven and earth, yet the aura of both was unmistakably the same.
Clearly, the force that had restrained them all was directly related to that dark purple flame.
The cracks on the tombstone grew ever larger. Everyone knew that something horrifying was about to enter the world, yet they were utterly powerless to do anything about it — they didn't even have the chance to flee.
