I'm picking up fragments in Douluo Continent

Chapter 278 Where did this faith come from?
Standing beside the altar, Lu Feng surveyed his surroundings with a solemn expression.

Of the four stone pillars that form the core of the formation, one is broken, and the runes carved on it are dim and lifeless.

He crouched down, his fingers lightly touching the broken section, sensing the lingering abyssal aura, identical to the energy in the sky rifts of the far north.

"It really was it," Lu Feng muttered to himself.

The abyssal dragon has been lurking for countless years, and even the formations left by the gods cannot withstand the passage of time.

Although the Abyss Dragon has been killed, if the formation cannot be repaired, the cracks in the sky over the far north will only grow larger.

By then, the Abyss Plan might invade before Tang Shenwang's grand plan is even realized.

Xiao Wu tugged anxiously at Lu Feng's sleeve: "Lu Feng, do you have a way to fix it?"

Lu Feng did not answer immediately, but instead channeled his soul power and retrieved the Ice Soul Sword from his sea of ​​consciousness.

The moment this crystal-clear longsword was drawn, the surrounding temperature plummeted. The chilling aura emanating from the sword condensed into tiny ice crystals in the air.

"I can only give it a try."

Lu Feng took a deep breath and channeled his soul power into the Ice Soul Sword.

Lu Feng didn't know the principles behind this formation, but he had studied the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint. Among the Five Elements, as long as any one attribute exists, the other four can be derived.

What Lu Feng is doing now is trying to activate the power of this formation itself.

The Ice Soul Sword was plunged into the ground, and as Lu Feng's soul power surged into it, the sword immediately shone brightly, and a beam of ice-blue light shot straight into the sky.

A layer of icy blue mist quickly dispersed in all directions.

The remaining three stone pillars were instantly frozen, and the inscriptions on them began to shine with a golden light.

"Hey, it seems to be working!"

Xiao Wu was surprised to find that as Lu Feng circulated his internal energy, the broken stone pillar fragments began to tremble slightly.

Newly carved runes appeared at the location of the broken stone pillar, emitting a soft blue light.

"call."

At this moment, fine beads of sweat began to appear on Lu Feng's forehead.

He had only intended to give it a try, but it actually worked. However, a new problem arose: the soul power consumed in repairing the formation far exceeded his expectations.

In just over ten minutes, Lu Feng felt even more exhausted than when he fought the Abyss Spirit Dragon. If it weren't for his soul power breaking through to the next level, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.

Lu Feng bit his fingertip, and a drop of blood containing divine power dripped onto the ice sword.

"Buzz——"

The entire altar shook violently.

The three stone pillars simultaneously lit up with dazzling light, and even the broken stone pillar was reconnected by the blue light.

The turbulence in the sky was gradually dispelled by the pure, icy-blue energy.

"We did it!" Xiao Wu cheered.

She then went to Lu Feng's side and asked with concern, "Lu Feng, are you alright?"

Lu Feng looked to be in bad shape; his face was pale, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he looked like he could collapse at any moment.

"Do I look like I'm alright?" Lu Feng said speechlessly.

Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue. Then, she looked at the ice sword stuck in the ground and asked in confusion, "Is this sword just going to stay here?"

This is a divine artifact. Xiao Wu only obtained the Shura Sword Sheath, but she has already fully felt the power of the divine artifact.

Nourished by divine power, although she is currently in a soul state, in terms of strength, she is in no way inferior to an ordinary Soul Saint.

Lu Feng nodded. "The Ice Soul Sword originally belonged to Az, so let this sword stay with him forever."

Who is Az?

Lu Feng smiled slightly, “The master of this place, the Ice God, is my brother.”

"Heh." Xiao Wu scoffed, clearly not believing Lu Feng's words. Her tone shifted, and she asked疑惑地问道, "Now, how should we get out?"

Lu Feng shook his head. "This place is too far from the mainland. My Four Symbols Formation cannot travel through space to return."

"Huh? Does that mean Sister Xiaowu will have to stay in this place for the rest of her life?"

Lu Feng did not answer, but instead went to the center of the altar.

While repairing the formation, he had already gained a vague understanding of how to use it.

The eighteen array points were the most important passes on the continent in ancient times, and each one was heavily guarded.

Every pass must be taken seriously, therefore, teleportation is possible between each key point of the formation.

Lu Feng's soul power surged, and the Asura Sword appeared in his hand.

He turned to look at Xiao Wu, "Rabbit, combine."

Xiao Wu pouted. Although she was a little confused, she still followed Lu Feng's instructions and emitted a pink glow.

The next moment, Lu Feng transformed back into his Asura God Armor form.

"Ugh~"

As Lu Feng unleashed his divine power, the entire altar suddenly erupted with a blinding burst of light.

The next moment, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared around Lu Feng.

When his vision cleared again, a strong stench of blood assaulted his nostrils. Lu Feng warily looked around at the dark red sky and the magnificent palace.

A flash of red light appeared, and Xiao Wu returned to her soul form. "The City of Slaughter? We're really back?"

Lu Feng nodded. "Yes, the two formations are interconnected."

He tried to sense the soul power within his body and found that although it had been greatly depleted, he was not seriously injured. "Let's recuperate for a while, and then we'll go and settle accounts with the King of Slaughter."

Meanwhile, in the far north.

The three Snow Emperors looked up at the gradually healing crack in the sky, their faces filled with disbelief.

Hyotei rubbed his eyes, afraid he was seeing things: "The crack... is it really disappearing?"

"Roar!" Atai pounded his chest excitedly, letting out a deafening roar. "He did it? That human named Lu Feng?"

The Snow Empress was silent for a moment, then said softly, "But if the crack disappears, can he come back?"

After he finished speaking, the three of them fell into a brief silence.

Suddenly, the Snow Emperor raised her hand, and a pure, ice-blue light shot straight into the sky.

Her solemn voice echoed throughout the far north: "From this day forward, the name Lu Feng will be sung by all the soul beasts of the far north."

Atai nodded emphatically: "Although I've never seen the Ice God, in my heart, he is the Ice God! Shouldn't we erect a monument for him? No, a temple!"

The Snow Emperor rarely smiled: "Let's carve his statue out of ten-thousand-year-old ice, so that future generations will remember him forever."

Inside the City of Slaughter, Lu Feng, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.

To his surprise, he felt a warm and powerful energy surging into his body, and his previously depleted soul power was instantly restored.

"What's going on?" Lu Feng muttered to himself in surprise.

Xiao Wu looked at him curiously: "What's wrong?"

"I don't know." Lu Feng's eyes were serious.

Although it's a good thing, he has always maintained a sense of awe towards the unknown.

"The power of faith seems to originate from the far north," Lu Feng said uncertainly, gripping the Asura Sword and feeling the surging soul power within his body.

"Could it be that Xue Di and the others found out what you did?" Xiao Wu asked疑惑地.

"Never mind that." Lu Feng strode forward. "Let's go take down the King of Slaughter first."
