Chapter 6124: Gap
“You...”
Baili Zilin’s face twitched. He could have never imagined that Chu Feng would reach the endpoint in seconds when it took him three whole days to get this far.
The crowd was flabbergasted.
“Why is Chu Feng’s stone monument formation so powerful?”
“He didn’t have to do anything. He just pushed his way through with sheer power!”
“Is that why Chu Feng spent so much time on the stone monument formation? He must have realized that the power of the stone monument formation towers over the support formation.”
The crowd soon figured out what was going on, but they still found the situation inconceivable.
They had watched Baili Zilin decipher formations in this world in the last three days, so they knew just how tough these formations were. That was also why they were awed by Baili Zilin’s talent and competency.
They even thought that Baili Zilin could surpass all juniors, including Chu Feng, to become the greatest prodigy in this era.
But Chu Feng suddenly displayed prowess that was far superior to Baili Zilin’s. It was power at a completely different level.
With that, he domineeringly reclaimed his title as the greatest prodigy.
Baili Zilin was both infuriated and flustered to hear the discussions around him. He hurriedly questioned Jie Mubai, “What’s going on? Why is his formation so powerful?”
There was a hint of ire in his tone.
“Why are you panicking? Ignore him and continue the trial.”
Jie Mubai was currently sitting in a formation above the center of the formation realm. No one could see him, but he could see everything that was happening in the formation realm, including Luck Saint Realm.
“Are you sure it’s all right?” Baili Zilin asked.
“Don’t be intimidated. Have you forgotten why I had you make a detour? Ignore him and claim the strongest luck energy,” Jie Mubai instructed.
Baili Zilin regained his composure at Jie Mubai’s reminder.
He formed a hand seal, and gemstones manifested in his black sword. These gemstones emanated different lights and auras.
At the same time, the compass behind the mountain peak began resonating in excitement.
“Chu Feng, I can’t believe someone celebrated as a prodigious world spiritist can’t tell why I took a huge detour. I was collecting these energies in a specific sequence. My black sword is now the key to obtaining Luck Saint Realm’s strongest luck energy.
“You might have reached the mountain peak, but it’s all in vain because you have made a mistake from the very start. You have already failed this trial!”
Baili Zilin rose to the sky with his black sword and formed a hand seal.
Luck Saint Realm shook violently. The compass behind the mountain peak rotated quickly. Powerful winds raged in the world.
The compass’ energy descended like dark clouds and surged toward Baili Zilin’s black sword.
Chu Feng lifted his hand, and the energy from the stone monument formation reconverged in his grasp as a black sphere.
Pah!
The black sphere dispersed into the surroundings.
Jie Mubai frowned.
The dispersed black sphere had instantaneously covered not just Luck Saint Realm but the formation realm it was located in too, including all the terrifying formations.
Chu Feng flicked his wrist, and the dispersed black sphere swiftly reconverged in his grasp.
It looked like nothing had happened, but all the formations in the formation realm had been destroyed!
It dawned on the crowd that the black sphere was far stronger than they had thought. To think that Chu Feng could instantaneously destroy all the formations inside the formation realm at will!
The black sphere in Chu Feng’s grasp was now glowing in iridescent colors. Similar to Baili Zilin’s black sword, it emanated an aura that resonated with Luck Saint Realm.
“You might have to work harder. See, I created a key too without following any sequence,” Chu Feng said with a disdainful smile.
Baili Zilin gritted his teeth. Instead of replying to Chu Feng, he angrily questioned Jie Mubai via voice transmission, “What’s going on? Didn’t you say this key can only be forged by deciphering the formations in a specific sequence?”
The series of mishaps made him doubt Jie Mubai’s credibility.
“Why are you panicking? You don’t need to be unnerved; I’m here. I told you to just ignore him and follow my arrangements. This trial will be over once you acquire the energy in the compass, so why are you so concerned about him?” Jie Mubai replied in ire.
Jie Mubai’s irritated reply made Baili Zilin calm down a little. He turned away from Chu Feng and focused his attention on assimilating the strongest luck energy.
On the other hand, Chu Feng did not attempt to assimilate the strongest luck energy despite having forged a key.
“What’s Chu Feng doing? Why isn’t he competing for the strongest luck energy?”
Chu Feng’s supporters nervously eyed the situation.
Just then, Chu Feng said with a smile, “There’s no need to rush. I won’t be snatching that from you, so you can take your time.”
Jimo Qianzhou felt uneasy.
Chu Feng’s smile suggested that he was certain that Baili Zilin wouldn’t be able to obtain the strongest luck energy.
His premonition turned out to be true.
The compass’ energy descended like a tornado upon Baili Zilin, but the energy refused to enter his black sword or his body.
“Damn it! Get over here!”
Desperate, Baili Zilin reached out and attempted to grab the energy with his bare hands.
His outstretched hand was decimated, and blood spurted from his mouth. Baili Zilin was sent flying backward by an overwhelming force, and his black sword slipped from his grip.
