“What on earth is going on? How could Lord Liangqiu Chengfeng act like this?”
“This is completely illogical. Am I dreaming or something?”
“Could it be that I misheard earlier because of a ringing in my ears?”
“This brat is so insolent, and Lord Liangqiu Chengfeng is really just letting it slide?”
At this moment, many people began to doubt themselves, questioning whether everything they had just witnessed was real, because it all seemed far too unreasonable.
Amid the crowd’s astonishment, Chu Feng spoke again, “Senior, I need to modify this formation.”
“What?”
“He actually wants to alter the grand array?”
“He’s mad, absolutely mad.”
“This Chu Feng has completely lost it.”
The crowd’s expressions grew complicated, their hearts trembling. The formation they were channeling to break the array had been designed according to the blueprint provided by Liangqiu Chengfeng himself.
Chu Feng’s actions were tantamount to challenging Liangqiu Chengfeng’s method of breaking the array.
If Liangqiu Chengfeng could tolerate Chu Feng’s earlier behavior, there was no way he could stomach what Chu Feng was doing now.
“Very well, young friend Chu Feng. How you wish to modify it is up to you,” Liangqiu Chengfeng said.
“What the—seriously?”
“He actually agreed?”
Upon hearing this, the crowd was dumbfounded, their expressions as if they’d been struck by lightning. Their minds went blank, their hearts thrown into utter chaos.
Not just the younger generation, even the prominent figures within the formation’s core looked at Liangqiu Chengfeng with eyes full of astonishment.
What was wrong with Liangqiu Chengfeng?
How could he indulge Chu Feng to this extent?
“Sister, what’s gotten into our senior brother?” Liangqiu Hongyue whispered to Liangqiu Lanyue.
At that moment, Liangqiu Lanyue furrowed her brows, shaking her head in confusion.
Even the two sisters were utterly perplexed.
This… was not the senior brother they knew.
Had their senior brother taken the wrong medicine today?
Or had the prolonged failure to break this protective boundary driven him to frustration, burning out his mind?
While the crowd was steeped in confusion, Chu Feng made his move.
He actually began modifying the formation within the rift, the one designed by Liangqiu Chengfeng.
But as soon as Chu Feng took action…
Liangqiu Hongyue,
Liangqiu Lanyue,
Wuma Shengjie,
The Supreme Elder of the Wuma Heavenly Clan, along with the rest of the clan,
The elders of the foreign clans, and the genius youngsters outside the relic—
All of them froze, their expressions turning vivid and striking.
They were shocked to discover that the boundary power Chu Feng unleashed wasn’t just at the Exalted level—it surged with the markings of a serpent.
“This guy, he’s actually a Serpent Mark Exalted-cloak World Spiritist???”
The crowd’s surprise was understandable, given they didn’t know Chu Feng well.
But for the Liangqiu sisters, their emotions were far more complex. As they looked at Chu Feng again, their gazes carried a new, distinct flavor.
In their battle that day, the sisters had lost decisively, leaving a bitter taste in their proud hearts.
Since then, they had been determined to catch up to Chu Feng, naturally hoping for a chance to defeat him someday and reclaim what they had lost.
They had thought that, after breaking through to the Insect Mark Exalted-cloak World Spiritist level, they finally had a shot at challenging Chu Feng again.
They had even planned in their hearts to privately spar with Chu Feng in boundary techniques after this array was broken.
But they never imagined that, just as they thought they’d caught up to him after their breakthrough, Chu Feng had already stepped into an entirely new realm.
How could they possibly spar with him now?
They had… no chance of winning.
In truth, it wasn’t just the crowd who marveled.
Even Liangqiu Chengfeng, who had seen from the start that Chu Feng was a Serpent Mark Exalted-cloak World Spiritist, now had a glint of awe in his eyes.
The crowd was amazed by Chu Feng’s Serpent Mark Exalted-cloak World Spiritist rank.
But Liangqiu Chengfeng’s awe stemmed from Chu Feng’s mastery of boundary techniques, a control that far exceeded his expectations.
In Liangqiu Chengfeng’s view, even if Chu Feng were only an Insect Mark Exalted-cloak World Spiritist like the Liangqiu sisters, with his command over boundary power alone, he could flawlessly channel that formation.
What delighted him most, however, was the surprises in the modified boundary formation Chu Feng had crafted.
Though he couldn’t be certain of Chu Feng’s success, he had a premonition.
Perhaps Chu Feng could truly turn the tide and break this ancient relic’s protective boundary.
Finally, Chu Feng completed the modifications to the formation.
At this moment, those who had previously belittled Chu Feng no longer dared to mock him.
For one, they couldn’t decipher the boundary techniques and didn’t know if Chu Feng would succeed. More importantly, they couldn’t be sure that Chu Feng would definitely fail.
So they held their tongues, afraid of saying the wrong thing and ending up humiliated by Chu Feng again.
They could only wait, waiting for Chu Feng to break the grand array, and then decide how to judge him based on the outcome.
“Senior, this junior is ready. May we attempt to break the array again?” Chu Feng asked.
“We can break it now,” Liangqiu Chengfeng’s voice, brimming with anticipation, echoed from the formation’s core.
Immediately after, a radiant light bathed the heavens and earth.
The formation-breaking array, powered by Liangqiu Chengfeng and numerous experts, sprang to life once more.
At the same time, the younger generation promptly began channeling the formation within the rift.
And Chu Feng, releasing his Serpent Mark boundary power, started to take control of the array.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, a series of deafening explosions rang out.
All of it stemmed from the formation within the rift.
The formation inside the rift underwent an earth-shattering transformation.
If, before Chu Feng’s modifications, the formation was like countless sharp blades ceaselessly hacking at the rift,
Now, it was a massive hammer relentlessly pounding the boundary rift.
And the effect was strikingly clear.
Under the hammering of the formation, the rift began to spread like a spiderweb, expanding countless times in mere moments.
The array had only just begun to operate. If it continued like this,
The protective grand array would undoubtedly fall.
