Runes flowed through the void, like golden pages turned by an invisible hand. Han Feng "saw" them so clearly—every stroke contained an ancient rhythm, every line spoke of an understanding of the laws of the universe. Even more wondrous was that these runes, imperceptible to ordinary people, were being projected directly into the depths of his consciousness through the resonance of stellar power.
"This is..." Han Feng's breathing became rapid involuntarily.
Dongfang Wantang seemed to sense something, her voice as gentle as the wind: "Han Feng, what did you see?"
"An array." Han Feng's voice was almost a dream, "The seven pillars are all filled with array diagrams..."
Just then, a sudden change occurred! The wisp of chaotic power dormant deep within his dantian suddenly erupted, colliding with the flowing stellar power like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey. The two top-tier energies intertwined and tore at each other within his meridians, causing Han Feng to groan in excruciating pain, his forehead instantly covered in cold sweat.
"Han Feng?!" Dongfang Wantang nervously supported his swaying body.
"It's nothing..." Han Feng gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words. In reality, the situation was far from that—the power of chaos was domineeringly devouring the power of the stars, forming an unprecedented hybrid energy. Wherever this energy passed, the runes suddenly became three-dimensional and vivid, as if they were about to leap out of the void.
(I see!)
Han Feng suddenly realized. The power of chaos was forcibly "upgrading" his analytical abilities! Those originally obscure array structures were now as simple and clear as 1+1=2.
The first giant pillar records the "Starlight Guardian Array," which can transform stellar power into absolute defense, based on the principle of distorting spatial structures at a microscopic level; the second is the "Void Spirit Guiding Array," which can draw energy from parallel universes; the third...
He devoured the information, each formation defying his comprehension. These weren't simple energy arrangements, but rather rewrites of the rules that touched upon the very essence of the universe. Who on earth possessed such divine skill? Could it be the Time God?
When his gaze turned to the sixth giant pillar, Han Feng was startled—this was the "Chaos Returning to Origin Array," specifically designed to harmonize top-tier energies of different attributes. The rotating Tai Chi pattern at the core of the array was strikingly similar to the fusion process currently taking place within his body.
(Could it be that he really did study the power of chaos?)
Before he could delve deeper into this thought, the contents of the seventh giant pillar had already captured his entire attention. Unlike the other six pillars, the runes on this pillar were a dazzling scarlet red, forming a dizzying and complex three-dimensional structure.
"Chaos Amplification Array..." Han Feng unconsciously uttered the name.
The principle behind this formation is nothing short of insane—by temporarily tearing apart the user's energy meridians, it creates a singularity within the body, similar to a "black hole," thereby achieving a hundredfold increase in combat power in an extremely short period. But the price is...
"What will happen?" Han Feng was eager to see the warning part at the end of the formation, but the runes suddenly became blurry.
The power of chaos began to fluctuate erratically, as if suppressed by some higher-level force. At the same time, Han Feng was horrified to discover that this power was turning around and devouring his spiritual power, spiraling out of control like a wild horse.
"Stop..." He tried to sever his connection with the giant pillar, only to find himself on the battlefield of two energies. The power of chaos wanted to devour more runic knowledge, while the power of the stars was desperately trying to maintain balance.
"Han Feng!" Dongfang Wantang's exclamation seemed to come from a great distance, "Your hand!"
Han Feng looked down and saw his right hand flickering between reality and illusion, with scarlet patterns identical to those on the seventh giant pillar emerging beneath his skin. Even more terrifying, these patterns spread upwards along his arm like living things, causing excruciating pain wherever they went, as if being gnawed by millions of ants.
At the critical moment, the Star Mirror in his dantian suddenly lit up. The seventh pillar of light revealed the key to controlling the power of chaos!
"I see..." Han Feng suddenly understood and immediately followed the instructions of the inheritance to construct a miniature "Chaos Returning to Origin Array" within his body. This ingenious energy structure acted like reins, finally taming the raging chaotic power slightly.
The spread of the crimson patterns stopped, but the connection to the seventh giant pillar was also forcibly severed. With his last glance, Han Feng only managed to see the first half of the warning rune:
"This formation defies the will of Heaven; its user will surely perish..."
The following words were obscured by a chaotic mist. When Han Feng finally regained consciousness, he was soaked to the bone as if he had been pulled out of the water, and leaned weakly against Dongfang Wantang.
"Han Feng! How are you?" Dongfang Wantang supported the swaying Han Feng, her heart pounding at the trembling in his palm. This man, who could easily defeat Nangong Wentian, was now as weak as a patient recovering from a serious illness.
Han Feng waved his hand, forcing himself to sit cross-legged. He closed his eyes and looked inward, discovering that his body felt as if it had been through a hurricane—the power of stars and the power of chaos were intertwined in his meridians, and cracks had appeared at many energy nodes. The most troublesome was his right arm; although the scarlet lines had stopped spreading, they were deeply engraved into his flesh like branding marks.
(Chaos Returning to Origin Array...)
He recalled the array on the sixth giant pillar and attempted to construct a miniature array diagram in his dantian. The Star Mirror seemed to sense his intention and automatically released a wisp of pure energy as the array's core.
"Buzz—"
A barely perceptible tremor emanated from Han Feng's body. To Dongfang Wantang's surprise, countless silver patterns suddenly lit up on the ancient stone slab of the Star Platform, centered on Han Feng. These patterns spread outwards like living things, eventually forming a perfect circular array with a diameter of ten meters.
A pale green mist rose from the array, carrying a fresh scent like sprouting grass and trees. Wherever the mist passed, the scarlet lines under Han Feng's skin began to slowly fade, and even an old scar on Dongfang Wantang's arm miraculously healed.
"This is..." she exclaimed, her eyes widening.
"Life Revival Array." Han Feng opened his eyes, his voice still a little hoarse. "A healing array I just learned."
Footsteps came from the steps. Liu Mengran and Su Wanwan rushed over with Dongfang Lin and Zhang Jingcheng. When the two old men saw the scene on the star platform, they stopped in their tracks at the same time.
"Life energy materialized?!" Zhang Jingcheng's goatee twitched up high. "How is that possible?!"
Dongfang Lin stared intently at the array patterns flowing on the ground: "An ancient star array...and a top-tier healing one at that..."
Han Feng slowly stood up, and the formation dissipated. He stretched his right arm, which had fully recovered, and turned to the two seniors: "What suggestions do you two have for Ikegami Aya's situation?"
Dongfang Lin snapped out of his reverie: "The Moon Demon Clan's energy within her has been temporarily suppressed, but the situation is very unstable." He looked at Han Feng with concern, "We need to awaken her and suppress it as soon as possible."
"Take them back to China," Han Feng said decisively. "This place is under our surveillance, and you're here to oversee it."
Zhang Jingcheng frowned: "But the current situation in R country..."
"Let Liu Xiaoran escort him." Han Feng had already considered everything. "He's reliable and capable enough to handle any unexpected situation."
