“Indeed something is off. Where exactly did that old man teleport you to?”
Eggie asked.
As for Chu Feng, he had already activated his Heavenly Eyes to look outside.
One look was enough to startle him. Beyond the rock cave was still more rock cave.
There were rock caves nested within rock caves, a total of eighteen layers. Each layer was a major formation, and the eighteen layers together formed one complete grand formation.
The layer where Chu Feng was located was the final one, the eighteenth.
The seventeen outer layers of rock cave formations had already activated and were running. Only this last layer had not yet started.
Once this final layer began operating, the entire grand formation would be fully complete.
This grand formation was a smelting formation. It used numerous heavenly materials and earthly treasures to smelt a single cultivation treasure.
By now, Chu Feng had already discovered that cultivation treasure. It was located inside the seventeenth major formation.
Although Chu Feng was in the eighteenth layer and the cultivation treasure was in the seventeenth, because the layers were interconnected, Chu Feng quickly reached the seventeenth layer.
There, after years of smelting across all eighteen major formations, the cultivation treasure appeared right before Chu Feng’s eyes.
This cultivation treasure looked like an irregularly shaped stone. It emitted an icy cold aura and flickered with faint radiance.
It had not yet fully taken shape. It could not be used for cultivation in its current state. To refine it, some special methods would be needed.
For it to fully form, the eighteenth layer formation would need to activate, and then it would still require several years, or even more than a decade, of continued smelting.
Chu Feng clearly did not have that kind of time to wait.
“No wonder the teleportation formation inside my body is still working. That senior must have deliberately sent me here. He probably wanted me to take this cultivation treasure away.”
“Since it is senior’s goodwill, I naturally cannot let him down.”
Chu Feng gave a slight smile. He reached out with his hand and grabbed the cultivation treasure that was still in the process of smelting, storing it away.
Buzz…
Buzz…
Buzz…
Buzz…
…
Once the treasure was taken by Chu Feng, the originally brilliant rock cave instantly dimmed.
The formations inside the rock cave had stopped operating.
Not only this rock cave, but the formations in the sixteen outer rock caves had also stopped.
“Why have the formations stopped? What happened?”
Next, through his Heavenly Eyes, Chu Feng saw that at the outermost edge of these eighteen rock cave layers, six old men had already entered in panic. They were rushing toward this place as fast as they could.
They were all subordinates of Lord Black Fiend.
“Heh…”
Seeing this, Chu Feng was not in a hurry. He used his hand as a brush, swung his sleeve, and left behind a few words. Then he activated the teleportation formation inside his body and left the place.
Those six elders moved very quickly. But by the time they arrived, they could not see any trace of Chu Feng. They could only see the words he had left behind.
“It was actually stolen.”
“What do we do now?”
“This was prepared by Lord Black Fiend for Miss Yulin.”
“If we failed to guard it properly, we will face execution.”
The six elders turned deathly pale after seeing those words. Cold sweat poured down their faces. Each one realised that disaster was upon them.
“Run, run quickly.”
Four of them saw the situation was bad and immediately turned to flee.
Only two remained in place.
“No, we cannot run. We will never escape Lord Black Fiend’s grasp. It is better to report the truth to him. There might still be a slim chance of survival.”
After exchanging glances, the two decided to go and report to Lord Black Fiend.
…
As for Lord Black Fiend, he had already opened the golden box.
But after opening it, what appeared inside was not the item he needed.
Instead, there were six large words written inside: Breaker of formations, what a fool.
“Gongsun Yuntian, what is the meaning of this?”
Lord Black Fiend glared furiously at Gongsun Yuntian.
His ferocious gaze looked as if he wanted to swallow Gongsun Yuntian alive.
“Lord Black Fiend, it was not me. It was not me who did this.”
“Let me explain honestly. The moment I entered the Asura Burial Ground, Chu Feng captured me. I have no idea what he went through after that.”
“He gave me this box. He tricked me by saying he did not want to marry your granddaughter, so he was giving the opportunity to me. I was too naive and actually believed him. Who knew he was deliberately setting me up?”
“Lord Black Fiend, I know I was wrong. Please spare me.”
“This was all Chu Feng’s doing. It has nothing to do with me.”
Gongsun Yuntian knelt on the ground, pleading and explaining at the same time.
After hearing his explanation, Lord Black Fiend became even more furious.
“You useless idiot. What is the point of keeping you alive?”
Lord Black Fiend gritted his teeth. Then he struck out with a palm. With a muffled bang, Gongsun Yuntian was blasted into scattered soul and turned into a cloud of blood mist.
“Trash, all trash.”
“My plan that I prepared for so many years was ruined by this useless fool.”
Lord Black Fiend clenched his fists tightly. Wave after wave of rage swept through the grand hall like a hurricane.
His twisted face at that moment would have terrified anyone who saw it half to death.
It was more frightening than a devil.
“Lord, something terrible has happened.”
But at that moment, calls from two elders came from outside the hall.
This grand hall had been built with special methods. People outside could not see inside or hear the sounds within.
But sounds from outside could be heard clearly from inside.
Lord Black Fiend was in a foul mood and originally did not want to pay attention to them.
But who would have thought that the two elders, seeing that Lord Black Fiend did not open the door, quickly said, “Lord, the Martial Cultivation Cold Iron Stone that you were forging for Miss Yulin has been stolen by that Chu Feng!!!”
“What?!”
Upon hearing this, disbelief surged in Lord Black Fiend’s ferocious eyes.
Boom…
He kicked the hall door open.
“Lord, spare our lives!!!”
The two had not even seen Lord Black Fiend yet. Just sensing the aura he was emitting made them collapse to the ground in terror, unable to move.
“What did you just say?”
“The Martial Cultivation Cold Iron Stone was stolen by Chu Feng?”
Lord Black Fiend asked.
“Lord, it was indeed stolen by that Chu Feng.”
The two elders’ voices trembled with fear.
“When did this happen?”
Lord Black Fiend asked.
“It was just now. As soon as we discovered it, we came to report to you.”
“The four others, You You and the rest, were afraid you would take your anger out on them, so they have already fled.”
The two elders deliberately said this in hopes that Lord Black Fiend would spare their lives.
“Useless trash.”
But who would have thought that after Lord Black Fiend gritted his teeth and spat out those words, he swung his sleeve wide. With a bang, blood splattered everywhere.
The two elders had been turned into two piles of minced flesh.
After killing the two elders, Lord Black Fiend leapt into the air and flew toward that grand formation.
In the blink of an eye, Lord Black Fiend arrived at the place where the cultivation treasure had been.
He originally hoped to find some clue about Chu Feng here. Although Chu Feng’s aura lingered, there was no trace of how he had left.
Instead, there was a line of large words engraved on the rock cave wall. It was clearly Chu Feng’s handwriting, exactly the same as the words inside the box.
Thanks to my grandson Black Fiend. This item is now enjoyed by your Chu Feng Grandpa!!!
“Chu Feng, I will make sure your family is destroyed and your lineage ends!!!”
Looking at the line of words on the rock wall, Lord Black Fiend was not just gritting his teeth. His entire body was trembling.
Powerful energy burst forth. The eighteen layers of rock caves instantly collapsed and shattered.
His furious roar shook the heavens and the earth!!!
