The force binding Chu Feng and the others was an overwhelming pressure.
This pressure far surpassed the Supreme Realm, a martial force more formidable than anything in that realm.
If Chu Feng’s guess was correct, it was the pressure of the Martial Venerable Realm.
Within the Supreme Realm, countless beings could kill Chu Feng.
In the Martial Venerable Realm, a mere thought could end them.
We’re doomed, Chu Feng thought to himself.
“Let us go. Do you know who we are?”
“If you dare harm us, I’ll make your entire Nether Ice Palace pay with their lives.”
But at that moment, a furious roar rang out.
It was Fu Mo Shaoyu.
Looking at him, Chu Feng saw that Fu Mo Shaoyu’s face was filled with panic.
His trembling body revealed his intense fear.
Because he was so afraid, Chu Feng was astonished.
Why, in such a situation, could he still speak so boldly?
Wasn’t that just asking for death?
“Bold fool, I spared you once before, yet you refuse to repent.”
“Since you insist on dying, I’ll grant your wish.”
“Prepare to die.”
At that moment, the ruthless voice spoke again.
As it did, Chu Feng felt a drastic change in his surroundings.
It was killing intent, not particularly strong.
But combined with the opponent’s immense power, it formed a terrifying force.
Though nothing visibly changed around them, Chu Feng felt as if he had fallen into hell.
When the words “prepare to die” echoed, Chu Feng was certain his life would end there.
All of them would perish in this place.
Suddenly, a beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping Chu Feng and the others.
This light not only blocked the opponent’s pressure but also their killing intent.
Along with the light came a figure and a barrier gate.
The figure was none other than Fu Mo Shaoyu and Fu Mo Xin’er’s grandmother, the old woman.
At that moment, her body radiated the same light that isolated everything around them.
Chu Feng knew it was she who had acted to save them.
“Grandma, you came after all! I knew you wouldn’t let us die.”
Seeing the old woman, Fu Mo Xin’er rushed forward joyfully, tightly embracing her.
“Stop fooling around, get out of here.”
“All of you, return to the Sealed Territory. Without my command, don’t come out.”
The old woman pointed at the barrier gate.
Hearing this, Fu Mo Shaoyu didn’t hesitate. He grabbed Little Fish with one hand and Chu Feng with the other, entering the barrier gate.
Fu Mo Xin’er followed closely behind.
After entering, they found themselves in a barrier tunnel.
Upon passing through, they were far from the Nether Ice Palace, its shadow no longer visible, in a completely safe place.
“What an incredible barrier formation.”
Chu Feng looked back at the still-shimmering barrier gate, filled with awe.
He then turned to Fu Mo Xin’er and asked, “What is the level of your grandmother’s spirit techniques?”
The old woman’s barrier formation was highly discreet.
Chu Feng couldn’t discern the level of her spirit techniques.
But he was certain they far surpassed his own.
“We don’t know exactly. We’re not clear on Grandma’s strength either,” Fu Mo Xin’er said.
Suddenly, the barrier gate trembled violently, and Chu Feng noticed it closing.
Yet the old woman hadn’t emerged from it.
“Could something have happened?”
Chu Feng was worried.
“No.”
“Grandma should be able to escape safely. She likely closed the gate for our sake.”
Fu Mo Xin’er said.
“Let’s not think too much. Hurry and leave this troublesome place.”
Fu Mo Shaoyu added.
Seeing their confidence in the old woman, Chu Feng didn’t press further.
After all, they knew her far better than he did.
Afterward, Chu Feng and the others hurriedly set off.
They headed toward the Sealed Territory.
For now, the safest place in the Devouring Heaven World was indeed the Sealed Territory.
…
Outside the main hall of the Nether Ice Palace.
The sky and ground were filled with countless figures standing in orderly ranks.
Tens of thousands of troops surrounded the main hall.
All were from the Nether Ice Palace.
Leading them was an old man in icy armour.
His face was menacing, clearly no ordinary figure, inspiring fear in all who saw him.
The pressure he emitted made the heavens and earth tremble.
He was the master of the Nether Ice Palace, a supreme powerhouse in the Martial Venerable Realm.
The Nether Ice Palace owed its status to him.
In the Devouring Heaven World, he was an undisputed god, ruling and controlling everything.
This man was usually expressionless, as everything in this world was under his control, with little capable of stirring him.
But now, the Nether Ice Palace master’s brow was slightly furrowed.
His aged, ferocious eyes stared toward the main hall.
The main hall had been sealed by his pressure.
But now, though he had retracted it, a beam of light piercing the heavens still enveloped the hall.
This light was dazzling, making the entire Nether Ice Palace exceptionally bright.
More importantly, it could withstand the pressure of the Nether Ice Palace master.
Just moments ago, after Fu Mo Shaoyu’s provocation, the master had been ready to kill Chu Feng and the others.
It was this light that blocked his attack.
This was why the Nether Ice Palace master’s brow was furrowed.
It meant someone in the Devouring Heaven World could rival him.
Someone could challenge his authority.
“Who are you?”
The Nether Ice Palace master asked in a grave voice.
As his words fell, the light suddenly grew even brighter.
Then, it began to spread.
The blinding light forced the Nether Ice Palace’s people to close their eyes.
As it expanded, it unleashed a powerful shockwave, spreading from the main hall in all directions across the Nether Ice Palace.
The shockwave was so strong that even the Nether Ice Palace master was pushed back tens of thousands of meters before stabilising himself.
When the shockwave passed and he looked up again, his expression changed drastically.
His face was no longer just furrowed brows, it was filled with fear.
