Chapter 6016: Perform Well
Chu Feng had seen a lot of Divine Bodies, and he possessed a Divine Body too.
However, Yuwen Yanri’s Divine Body was the strongest among all the people he had met. It was as if he had become one with his Divine Body.
Soon, Zhao Zhuyin walked out. Her cultivation had reverted to normal, but she had sustained some injuries in the fight.
Chu Feng didn’t witness the battle, but he could tell that Zhao Zhuyin had suffered a setback while fighting the monstrous beast. If not for Yuwen Yanri, she might have been in danger.
“You are Yuwen Yanri, right?” Zhao Zhuyin asked.
Thus far, she had been cold, displaying no interest in Yuwen Yanri. However, it would appear that Yuwen Yanri’s earlier strength had caught her attention, and she deduced his identity based on his ability.
That was not hard to deduce, as anyone who was updated about current affairs would know that Yuwen Yanri was the successor of the Blazing Sun Divine Body.
“Indeed,” Yuwen Yanri replied graciously.
He had only concealed his appearance because he didn’t want to scare others with his hideous looks; it was not because he was afraid of revealing his identity.
Zhao Zhuyin didn’t say anything either.
However, her gaze reflected her approval of Yuwen Yanri. At least, Yuwen Yanri’s strength appeared to be above hers for now.
Zhao Zhuyin also looked at Chu Feng in a different light.
Yuwen Yanri’s strength convinced her to re-evaluate the strength of the present-era cultivators, but that was only to be expected since Yuwen Yanri was indeed strong.
Having defeated the monstrous beast, Chu Feng entered the cavern with Yuwen Yanri and Zhao Zhuyin. The cavern was extremely resilient, which was why it didn’t cave in despite the intense fight earlier.
They walked a distance, and the scenery before them suddenly opened up. They were no longer inside a cavern but an underground realm.
There was nothing special about the underground realm other than its size; there was no treasure or anything else. The area was pitch-black. Chu Feng and the others wouldn’t have been able to see if not for their special eyes.
The first thing they saw was a huge monstrous beast.
The monstrous beast resembled a bear, and it was over a thousand meters tall. It was kneeling, and its eyes were devoid of life. There was a hole in its chest that still had flames crackling on it. That was the blow that killed it.
Yuwen Yanri was the one who dealt that blow.
As soon as Chu Feng stepped in, the monstrous beast’s body dissipated into a wisp of smoke.
However, the smoke didn’t disappear. It coiled in the air in a unique trajectory that looked beautiful. This phenomenon continued for a while before the smoke converged to form a surge of spirit power, and it began to manifest as a spirit formation gate.
“Brother Chu Feng, is that the exit?” Yuwen Yanri asked.
He had unwavering confidence in Chu Feng’s ability after the Nine Heavens’ Zenith. He knew that Chu Feng’s judgment was the most reliable when it came to such matters.
“Yes, but you get a choice,” Chu Feng said.
“A choice?” Yuwen Yanri was confused.
Zhao Zhuyin didn’t say a word, but her lingering gaze on Chu Feng hinted that she was curious to know what he meant.
“The moving wisp of smoke earlier is a clue. We can choose not to activate the spirit formation gate.”
Right as Chu Feng said those words, the spirit formation gate finally took shape. The spirit formation gate was open, but it came with an activation formation that allowed them to close it.
Zhao Zhuyin didn’t say a word, but her eyes were gleaming with curiosity. She was curious to know how Chu Feng deciphered the clue, as she didn’t grasp anything from that moving wisp of smoke.
In contrast, Yuwen Yanri wasn’t surprised. It was always a pleasure for him to explore remnants with Chu Feng, as problems he struggled with were easily solved by Chu Feng.
“Brother Chu Feng, what should we do?” Yuwen Yanri asked.
“We can leave right now via the spirit formation gate, but we might miss out on something. I’m not sure what we can gain by closing the spirit formation gate, but it might lead us to a fortuitous encounter.
“Of course, we have three people here, and the two of you have contributed by defeating the monstrous beast. Why don’t we have a vote and go with the majority?” Chu Feng suggested.
Zhao Zhuyin was silent for seconds before she said, “Let’s not do the unnecessary. You’re essentially saying that we should close the spirit formation gate, and Yuwen Yanri is bound to agree with you. My vote wouldn’t make a difference.”
“Indeed, Miss Zhao. It seems that we have reached a consensus,” Chu Feng replied with a chuckle before walking up to the spirit formation gate.
Zhao Zhuyin didn’t say a word, since she never intended to go against Chu Feng’s suggestion. She was the kind who would go for the best rewards, even if it meant taking on the highest level of risk.
Chu Feng walked up to the formation and opted to close the spirit formation gate.
Boom!
The spirit formation gate dissipated into an even stronger surge of spirit power, and it coiled in the air. It emanated a brilliant light that lit up the dark cavern as if it was daytime.
Chu Feng, Yuwen Yanri, and Zhao Zhuyin watched this scene in anticipation. It looked like something good was going to happen.
But when the spirit power finally descended, it formed a barrier that trapped the three of them.
Yuwen Yanri hurled a punch. He hadn’t retracted his bloodline power yet, so his fighting prowess was still comparable to a rank five True God level cultivator. His punch was imbued with destructive flames that could incinerate anything.
Yet, when the flame dissipated, Yuwen Yanri frowned. The barrier was unfazed by his punch.
The barrier was beyond their means to deal with.
A massive incense stick appeared outside the barrier. Judging from the rate it was burning down, it would be reduced to cinders in a day.
It was a countdown, but there was no knowing what would happen when the incense stick finally burned out.
Clang clang clang clang!
Just then, sharp spikes appeared on the walls of the barrier, clueing them in on what might happen when the incense stick burned out—the chances were that they would be mashed into meat paste.
“I’ll be counting on you for this, Brother Chu Feng.” Yuwen Yanri looked at Chu Feng, knowing that he couldn’t do anything about this.
“Don’t worry. I will need some time, but we’ll get out of here safely,” Chu Feng said confidently.
In contrast, Zhao Zhuyin narrowed her eyes in skepticism, though she chose to assess the barrier instead of saying anything. She was a pragmatic person. Rather than to waste time on pointless arguments, she would rather do something about the situation.
Her eyes started gleaming peculiarly.
Chu Feng noticed her changes.
Zhao Zhuyin, like her father, was skilled in martial cultivation and spirit power, and she was accomplished in both fields. Even though she hadn’t revealed her spirit power yet, Chu Feng deduced that she was at pinnacle God-cloak too, just like him.
She was just a step away from reaching True Dragon.
Zhao Zhuyin’s observation skill was unique but formidable. Most world spiritist prodigies in the world of cultivation would pale in comparison to her.
Chu Feng had to admit that he did feel some pressure being with Yuwen Yanri and Zhao Zhuyin. It was not that he was unconfident about himself, but he didn’t want to be a burden in their party.
“I ought to reveal my skills,” Chu Feng murmured as he examined the barrier more seriously than usual.
