At the entrance of the Primordial Tombs.
This was where the most factions had gathered.
After all, before the Primordial Tombs closed, everyone who had been waiting outside to observe had been pulled inside.
These people had originally come just to watch the spectacle. They had never dared to set foot into the Primordial Tombs.
And so, even after being forcibly brought here, they still didn't dare venture deeper, instead lingering around the entrance.
Unaware of the truth, they were still hoping that the entrance would reopen so they could leave.
What they didn't know was that not far from where they stood, a tomb world that appeared completely unremarkable was drawing massive numbers of people toward it.
Because that tomb world was the Sixth Star.
"I-I-I-I… damn, is it… is it really this one?"
After drawing closer, Wang Qiang let out an exclamation.
In truth, they had already observed it from afar using various methods.
At the time, it had seemed ordinary, but they had speculated that perhaps the tomb world was simply concealing itself too well, and that a closer, more careful look would reveal its secrets.
But now that they had truly approached, they still couldn't spot anything special about it. It remained entirely ordinary.
The kind of place where you could tell it was a tomb, but the tomb held nothing of value — it even felt like an empty shell.
"I'm not wrong. This is the one."
Chu Feng, however, was completely certain.
"The difficulty of the Sixth Star may be a bit higher."
"Something different from what we've encountered before might happen. Let's be careful."
Chu Feng glanced specifically toward Shen Hui, after all, she still held the teleportation grand formation that could help them escape.
"Rest assured, Lord Chu Feng," Shen Hui replied.
And so, none of them dared let their guard down. Passing through the barrier layers went remarkably smoothly.
But the moment they set foot inside this tomb world, Chu Feng felt a sense of foreboding.
Before they even had a chance to carefully observe the tomb world, the sky suddenly turned blood-red.
Looking closely, they saw billowing flames of energy surging and roiling.
Those were not dark clouds, for the energy was blood-red in color, as if forged from blood itself, and it contained extraordinarily powerful force.
"It's a sealing formation."
"Lord Chu Feng, the teleportation grand formation has been cut off."
Shen Hui clutched the talisman paper, her face filled with self-reproach. She could feel that the paper could still be activated, but the formation it carried would no longer take effect.
Huangfu Zhantian, who had also sensed the danger, immediately raised his cultivation, gripped his divine weapon spear, and thrust it straight at the red flames.
Boom— Ripples of devastation raged outside the crimson flames, yet the flames themselves remained completely unscathed.
"What's going on — is this a trap?" Huangfu Zhantian's brow furrowed deeply.
Because while the red flames were powerful, their aura was clearly at odds with the tomb world itself, which meant they were not a force born from within this tomb world.
"Over there."
Chu Feng directed his gaze toward the distant horizon.
And the moment he looked, that stretch of void began to warp and twist, before a figure appeared within Chu Feng and the others' line of sight.
This person wore a red robe, a red bamboo hat, and behind him trailed a red cape.
Written upon that cape were two characters: Prison Commander.
"Someone from the Prison Sect?"
Everyone was taken aback. After all, such distinctive attire was the hallmark of the Prison Sect.
But what would a member of the Prison Sect be doing here?
And did that terrifying red energy have something to do with the Prison Sect?
"Song Yun?"
But before Chu Feng and the others could even ask, the figure spoke first. However, his gaze was fixed upon Song Yun, and beneath the bamboo hat came the voice of a middle-aged man.
Yet apart from Huangfu Zhantian, who had already revealed himself, Chu Feng and the others were still concealed within their hiding formation.
The fact that this person could see them clearly, combined with the powerful energy sealing the sky, made Chu Feng realize that this member of the Prison Sect was surely extremely formidable.
"Lord Xiahou?"
