After leaving the Flame Cliff, Chu Feng’s tense heart finally eased.
After all, leaving the Flame Cliff meant returning to the territory of Fu Mo Shao Yu and Fu Mo Xin’er.
With the suppression of the Fu Mo Curse, they no longer feared the Ancient Devouring Beast.
But compared to Chu Feng, Fu Mo Xin’er was still shaken.
While Chu Feng had shed his fear, Fu Mo Xin’er’s face remained filled with terror.
“I never imagined that the Ancient Devouring Beast I often teased could be so terrifying.”
“To think our ancestors could stand against such fearsome creatures, what kind of cultivation must they have had?”
“No wonder Grandma always said our Fu Mo clan has fallen.”
“The gap between us now and our ancestors is just too vast.”
Fu Mo Xin’er spoke, still reeling, filled with awe.
But compared to her, Fu Mo Shao Yu was more concerned about whether they could leave this place smoothly.
After all, everything was prepared.
Success or failure hinged on this moment.
“Brother Chu Feng, with your spiritist techniques, making armour from these scales shouldn’t be difficult, right?” Fu Mo Shao Yu asked Chu Feng.
“Not difficult.”
Chu Feng got to work, using his spiritist techniques to craft armour from the scales they had collected.
The Ancient Devouring Beast was enormous, so a single scale was enough to make armour.
They had gathered four scales.
Fu Mo Shao Yu and Fu Mo Xin’er didn’t want the extra one.
So, it went to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng carefully stored the scale in his Qiankun Bag for safekeeping.
Though the Ancient Devouring Beast’s scales couldn’t be used for cultivation, they were rare, meaningful even as a keepsake.
With everything ready, Chu Feng, Fu Mo Shao Yu, and Fu Mo Xin’er left a farewell letter for the old lady.
Then, they set off.
At first, everything went smoothly.
Through the ancient teleportation array, they quickly left the Devouring World, heading toward Fengxian Upper Realm.
But after entering the ancient teleportation array, the armour made from the Ancient Devouring Beast’s scales began to wear down.
Moreover, the formation infused with the Flame Fruit in their bodies would soon fade, requiring them to consume new Flame Fruits to maintain it, but the formation couldn’t be replicated.
This meant the formation in their bodies was hard to sustain, as the Flame Fruits were limited.
As the armour deteriorated and the Flame Fruit formation faded, the boundary tunnel connecting the ancient teleportation array became unstable.
It seemed as though it could collapse at any moment.
“We’ve clearly left the Devouring World, so why is this happening?”
Chu Feng frowned, the situation beyond his understanding.
Normally, leaving the Devouring World should have freed them from the boundary sealing it.
They should have returned to normal, but the situation was clearly not that simple.
“Brother Chu Feng, what’s wrong?” Fu Mo Shao Yu asked.
“I don’t know why this is happening.”
“Normally, since we’ve left the Devouring World, we shouldn’t be bound by the boundary sealing it.”
“But now, it seems we still haven’t escaped that restraint.”
“If this continues, the boundary tunnel might collapse, pulling us into a temporal vortex.”
“And falling into a temporal vortex is extremely dangerous.”
Chu Feng explained.
“Could it be because we’re still wearing the scale armour?”
“Could the armour be affecting us?”
Fu Mo Shao Yu asked.
“It’s possible, but I’m not certain.”
Chu Feng replied.
“That’s simple. Since we’ve left the Devouring World, this stuff is useless. Just take it off.”
Fu Mo Xin’er assumed the abnormal changes were due to the scale armour.
As she spoke, she began removing her armour.
“Stop.”
Seeing this, Chu Feng quickly tried to intervene.
But it was too late. Fu Mo Xin’er had already removed her armour.
The moment she did, a temporal vortex swallowed her, and she vanished before Chu Feng and Fu Mo Shao Yu.
“Brother Chu Feng, what do we do?”
Seeing his sister pulled into the temporal vortex, Fu Mo Shao Yu panicked.
“Take off the armour. Otherwise, we might not find your sister.”
Chu Feng knew that, despite being together, only Fu Mo Xin’er was taken because she removed her scale armour.
Though they had left the Devouring World, an invisible boundary force still affected them.
To find Fu Mo Xin’er, Chu Feng began removing his armour as he spoke.
Fu Mo Shao Yu did the same, almost simultaneously.
Sure enough, once the armour was off, both Chu Feng and Fu Mo Shao Yu were pulled into the temporal vortex.
When their surroundings stabilised, Chu Feng had left the boundary tunnel and landed in a large mountain.
He didn’t know where this was.
But he was certain it wasn’t Fengxian Upper Realm.
After all, they had been midway to Fengxian Upper Realm when the boundary tunnel broke, pulling them into the vortex.
A broken tunnel during teleportation, followed by a temporal vortex, was extremely dangerous.
Surviving unscathed was already a stroke of luck.
They couldn’t hope to have reached Fengxian Upper Realm.
“Brother Chu Feng, Brother Chu Feng.”
Shouts came from afar, Fu Mo Shao Yu’s voice.
Following the sound, Chu Feng soon found him.
“Brother Chu Feng, my sister doesn’t seem to be here.”
Fu Mo Shao Yu said.
“In the boundary tunnel, we were crossing the vast starry sky at incredible speed.”
“Though your sister was only a step ahead, her landing spot must be far off.”
“But at least we’re in the same world. We should find her if we try.”
Chu Feng said.
“But I have my sister’s tracking talisman.”
“Logically, if we’re in the same world, it should react.”
“But now, the talisman shows no response.”
Fu Mo Shao Yu took out an object resembling a protective talisman.
It carried Fu Mo Xin’er’s aura, inscribed with numerous runes.
The runes were powerful, and Chu Feng could tell at a glance it was a remarkable tracking talisman.
Such a talisman should have been able to locate Fu Mo Xin’er.
Yet, it currently showed no reaction.
