Seems like... it could be a bit useful!

Holding a purple crystal in his palm, he gently shook it while looking at the hazy halo swirling within the liquid-like substance inside. Chu Feng's heart suddenly started beating a lot faster.

His spiritual power surged, quickly suppressing the strange feeling at the bottom of his heart. With slightly red eyes, Chu Feng hastily placed the purple crystal into the System Space.

If this thing were used in a breeding farm, the effect would definitely be heaven-defying...

He patted his chest and struggled to steady his breathing. Finally, Chu Feng regained his calm.

He then added the Attribute Points he had just received to his panel.

Shutting off the system panel, Chu Feng, once again wielding his long blade, finally stepped into the entrance of the shopping mall.

The mall, which had long been without electricity, was a lot darker than usual due to the absence of lighting.

Chu Feng, who had just entered the mall's entrance, flashed a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

The atrium, which at best was no more than a few hundred square meters, now seemed to be the size of a football field under the influence of the Gate of Breaking Boundary.

Above the atrium, where there should have been double-layered tempered glass, all of it had now vanished.

The mall's atrium, now the size of a football field, had no barrier whatsoever between it and the black hole directly above.

The large array below constantly channeled energy upwards. This energy flowed into the black hole above the mall—a vortex transformed from the giant serpent's eye—to maintain its operation.

Chu Feng, carrying the slender Demon Hunting Blade in his hand, slowly approached the large array beneath the Gate of Breaking Boundary.

Wherever he looked, he still saw the familiar wall of corpses, but judging by its size and height, he instantly deduced that the number of bodies here was clearly much greater than that in New York.

Indeed, a fully opened Gate of Breaking Boundary exerts a much greater suppressive force on Spiritual Perception!

As he got near the large array, Chu Feng felt his Spiritual Perception could only spread a little more than a meter around him. He frowned slightly.

His current Spiritual Energy Value was more than triple what it had been, but he still had no resistance against the energy waves emanating from the Gate of Breaking Boundary.

It seems the only way is the old method: find a spot to disrupt its energy supply. As for attempting to slice through the spatial channel with my blade, with my current strength, it's nothing but a fool's dream!

Chu Feng looked up at the Gate of Breaking Boundary. To his surprise, he discovered that the previously pitch-black vortex now had flickers of red light in its center, and the occasional lightning had vanished without a trace.

Where there is anomaly, there is evil!

Observing the sudden change in the vortex, Chu Feng cautiously reactivated the Golden Light Spell.

I'll destroy the large array first before I consider other things! After watching for a moment and seeing that the Gate of Breaking Boundary remained unchanged, Chu Feng, unwilling to waste any more time, shifted his focus to the large array in front of him.

With a light step, Chu Feng leaped high into the air, tracing an arc before silently landing inside the wall of corpses.

Eh? No more chasms?

Upon landing, Chu Feng looked around with some astonishment; the sight of the Gate of Breaking Boundary in New York was still vivid in his memory—the deep ravines, the Blood River, the white skeletal claws...

Right, where's the actual Rune? It can't still be buried underground! Chu Feng glanced around, puzzled.

Inside the large array, only five giant Runes, glowing with bizarre red light and appearing almost solid, were suspended in mid-air, positioned in five different directions.

Each of the five great Runes channeled a stream of blood-colored energy toward the center of the large array. These streams melded together above the central altar before shooting upward into the Gate of Breaking Boundary directly above it.

This Rune looks familiar. I'll choose you! Looking at the familiar Rune to his left, Chu Feng, with his long blade in hand, dashed towards it in the blink of an eye.

Below the 'γ'-shaped Rune, the surging Spiritual Power within Chu Feng's body frantically flowed into the Demon Hunting Blade in his hands.

Only after a wisp of intense red light appeared at the blade's edge did he slowly come to a halt.

Now is the time!

A gleam flashed in Chu Feng's eyes as he turned the tip of his blade downward and plunged it fiercely into the ground before him.

The originally firm ground crumbled like tofu against the Spiritual Power-imbued Demon Hunting Blade and was instantly penetrated by it.

Only when the blade was buried to the hilt of the Demon Hunting Blade did Chu Feng stop.

The next second, the Spiritual Power filling the blade was converted by the Demon Hunting Blade, erupting as a scorching torrent of energy that gushed forth.

With a BOOM, a huge pit, over three meters deep, appeared where the Demon Hunting Blade had struck.

Ignoring the scorching high temperatures at the bottom of the pit, Chu Feng leaped down to its depths.

No Rune! How is that possible? After circling inside the huge pit, even with his suppressed Spiritual Perception, Chu Feng still found nothing out of the ordinary.

BOOM.

BOOM.

BOOM.

After three more violent BOOMS, the scorching torrents unleashed from the Demon Hunting Blade had expanded the pit to more than three times its previous size.

Despite having depleted most of his Spiritual Power, Chu Feng, refusing to give up, continued his meticulous search within the now vastly expanded pit.

Unfortunately, contrary to his hopes, the Rune that should have been in this spot was still nowhere to be found.

Something's not right... It couldn't possibly be even deeper, could it? Glancing at the scorching ground beneath his feet, Chu Feng gently shook his head.

After pondering for a while, Chu Feng's gaze sharpened. He suddenly raised his head to look at the giant Rune hovering above him.

If it's not below, then the only possibility is up there!

Having thought of a possibility, Chu Feng slightly bent his knees and leaped up in an instant, returning to the ground.

Let's give it a try! Even if the Rune's main body isn't inside it, if I can shatter this gigantic Rune, it'll still count as completing the mission! Gripping the long blade tightly, Chu Feng's gaze was fixed on the giant Rune above.

The blood-red, gigantic Rune in midair was completely opaque, its internal details indiscernible. The only option now was to test if his current strength was enough to break it.

Stomping hard on the ground, Chu Feng shot upwards, reaching a position above the gigantic Rune in the blink of an eye.

Using the momentum of his descent, Chu Feng raised the long blade in his hands and chopped fiercely down towards the crimson Rune below.
