Chapter 6724: The Target Is the Woodcutter
The crowd quickly looked over, but there was no one standing behind Chu Feng.
However, an extremely thin layer of spirit power had formed over Chu Feng’s body. It was so thin that it would be difficult to notice it unless one was focusing hard on it.
The old entity clenched his hand into a sharp claw and swiped at Chu Feng. He left five deep gashes in the fabric of space, but he failed to inflict any damage upon Chu Feng.
Just then, the spirit power cloaking Chu Feng glowed and expanded outward.
Fearing a trap, the old entity hurriedly retreated. He warily eyed the surroundings as he murmured, “A protective treasure? No, who spoke just now?”
“You seek to enter the Ninth Galaxy, no? If you harm Chu Feng, our Ancestral Martial Spiritist Sect will not let you off.”
A person emerged from the spirit power protecting Chu Feng. It was Sikong Changsheng, but his body was made solely out of spirit power.
“Ah, that explains it. It’s a treasure from the Immemorial Era that allows its user to fuse with their spirit power. That’s why I didn’t notice you. Your Ancestral Martial Spiritist Sect must have gotten many good things in the earlier years of the present era. But treasures will eventually deplete.”
The old entity ripped open a spatial passageway with a wave of his sleeve, and humongous statues emerged from it. These statues towered at over a hundred thousand meters, and they wielded glowing staffs that formed an intricate net, sealing off the surroundings.
“I’ll see how long you can last,” the old entity spoke with confidence. He wasn’t worried about Chu Feng getting away at all.
“Hah...” Sikong Changsheng chuckled softly. He was unfazed by the powerful sealing formation.
“Elder, when did you arrive?” Chu Feng asked.
Sikong Changsheng must have imbued his spirit power into him a long time ago, or else he wouldn’t have been able to protect him at this critical moment. It was just that the spirit power was too discreetly hidden, such that he only noticed it after it was invoked.
“I have been here for some time now,” Sikong Changsheng replied.
He switched to voice transmission and continued, “Chu Feng, that old monster is right. I can protect you for now, but my treasure won’t last long. I have recovered, but I’m no match for him. That old monster doesn’t belong to this era. His body might be incomplete, but his formation is too strong.
“His sealing formation blocks teleportation energy, but that depends on how strong the teleportation energy is. I have used our sectmaster’s treasure to construct a teleportation formation that leads right outside the Ninth Galaxy. If you want, I can take you to the Ninth Galaxy right away,” Sikong Changsheng said.
“Elder, his formation is siphoning away the life force of all living beings in the eight galaxies. If we don’t stop him, won’t everyone in the eight galaxies be reduced to fodder for his recovery?” Chu Feng asked via voice transmission.
“Chu Feng, I understand your considerations. I also can’t bear to witness such tragedy befalling the world of cultivation, but such is the world. Not every strong person treats those weaker than them with kindness; more often than not, they trample upon them. You’ll only encounter more of such people in the Ninth Galaxy. If you wish to save others, you need to become stronger first. You won’t get a chance to do so if you die here,” Sikong Changsheng advised.
“But my clansmen and friends are here,” Chu Feng said.
Sikong Changsheng wanted to say more, but he suddenly turned his gaze elsewhere.
Chu Feng, the old entity, and the Netherworld Sectmembers also looked in the same direction. They sensed an extremely powerful aura flaring from that direction. A figure emerged from the previously empty space.
It was a middle-aged man with an unkempt stubble and shoddy clothes. He carried an axe on his back like a woodcutter. Yet, the powerful aura was coming from him.
“Elder Song.” Chu Feng was overjoyed to see Song Changsheng.
If Song Changsheng was willing to intervene, they might be able to turn the situation around.
“Woodcutter—no, I should be calling you Song Changsheng instead. You’re finally here.” Surprisingly, the old entity smiled when he saw Song Changsheng. It was as if he had been waiting for the latter.
Chu Feng felt a clench in his heart. Something was amiss.
“You were waiting for me?” Song Changsheng asked.
“Of course. I constructed this formation specifically to catch you. Chu Feng is just a bonus,” the old entity replied.
Song Changsheng frowned. “I don’t think that there is a grudge between us, is there?”
“Aren’t you going to intervene even though there is no grudge between us?”
“You were going to devour all lives in the eight galaxies to restore your body. Anyone with a heart won’t be able to turn a blind eye to your vile action.”
“How wonderful. You might be elusive, but you still hold righteousness in your heart.”
“Is that not the reason you want to deal with me?”
“Of course not. What I’m interested in is your accumulation.”
“Accumulation?”
“You have built up an extremely strong foundation for yourself thanks to your restrained style of cultivation. You’ll surely grow explosively the moment you step into the Ninth Galaxy. That is far more alluring to me right now than what Chu Feng has,” the old entity revealed.
“I see. You wish to plunder my fortuitous encounter. But do you have the capability to pull it off? Your formation is powerful, but your body has yet to recover. Your means are severely limited,” Song Changsheng sneered.
“Hahahaha!” The old entity laughed in an arrogant manner that greatly resembled Jie Tianran.
“I constructed this colossal formation, yet you still wonder if I can deal with you? Woodcutter, you must think that you call the shots in the world of cultivation. Since I know about your existence, it should go without saying that I can deal with you as well. I shall show you the means of a powerful world spiritist today!”
The old entity’s body began to expand rapidly, reaching a size many times larger than that of normal realms, though it was still smaller than God’s Era’s silhouette. A mere stomp of his foot could easily destroy a realm.
This humongous body emanated a blood-red aura identical to that being released from the eight galaxies. Anyone observing this sight would know right away that this was the origin of the colossal formation.
Shoosh!
Just then, a humongous axe flew across space.
Psh!
The humongous old entity was split into two.
