Chapter 857: Chapter 857: The Array of Close yet Distant Worlds

Ning Fan gave a faint smile, "It seems you know you’re no match for me, hence you’ve resorted to this method."

The tower defender nodded and said, "That’s right, you were able to defeat the black and white elders, your strength already surpasses ours, so we do not plan to fight you."

Hearing this, Ning Fan’s expression became even more peculiar.

Isn’t this a bit too passive?

"Before we begin, may I ask you a few questions?" Ning Fan asked curiously.

The leading tower defender paused for a moment and shook his head, "Once you break through the formation, we will naturally answer your questions."

Ning Fan nodded and strode into the very center of the third floor.

The three tower defenders looked at each other, then placed their hands on the floor, channeling their power into the ground through their palms.

Hum!

The ground trembled slightly, countless streams of light shone from beneath them, brightening the entire room.

Then, these streams of light began to swirl, eventually forming a complex and dense formation, enveloping Ning Fan within.

"The formation is established, you may begin to break it," the leading tower defender said, taking a step back and sitting down with composure.

The two behind him also sat down next to him, obviously having no intention of making a move.

Seeing this, Ning Fan took measured steps forward, entering the formation.

Hum—

The moment he stepped into the formation, Ning Fan felt the scenery in front of him twist slightly, then it returned to normal.

Ning Fan slightly frowned, looking around at the seemingly unchanged surroundings.

Even the several tower defenders not far away didn’t seem to be any different.

Seeing this, Ning Fan took a step forward, intending to walk up to them.

Unexpectedly, he was unable to take that step.

"Strange..."

Ning Fan felt something was amiss and tried to step out again.

After repeating this three or four times, he finally realized the problem.

With every step he took, the scenery around him would twist.

Then, without noticing it, his body would be moved back to the very center of the formation.

This meant that no matter how he walked, he would never be able to leave.

"This formation is called ’A Step’s Distance, Worlds Apart’. One step is just an inch, yet eternally separated by the horizon," the tower defender’s voice came from outside the formation.

Ning Fan looked up at the three tower defenders not far away, a hint of contemplation flashing through his eyes.

The transmission of sound hasn’t changed, so it’s not the actual distance that had increased, but rather his perception had been disturbed.

He took a deep breath, and spiritual power erupted from within him, like the roaring waves of the ocean.

The next moment, a violent force surged out overwhelmingly!

He intended to use sheer force to scatter this array of formations.

Using force to overcome cunning has always been the most convenient method.

However, to his surprise, his spiritual power didn’t affect the formation at all.

After the violent spiritual power was unleashed, it was like being thrown into the depths of the sea.

The vast and boundless ocean completely absorbed his spiritual power, and the effects of the formation even strengthened considerably.

After Ning Fan released this power, he found that even if he stood still, with the naked eye, he could see that the distance between himself and the tower defenders was continuously growing.

"Young man, this formation cannot be broken with pure force," the tower defender said.

"If this is the only strategy you can think of, then you might as well leave this tower."

Ning Fan could see the tower defender’s lips barely moving as the voice reached into the formation.

Ning Fan narrowed his eyes, an intrigued expression on his face.

He had never encountered a formation that couldn’t be destroyed by spiritual power before.

"Interesting, I would like to see just how much power your formation can actually withstand!"

Ning Fan took a step forward, drew a deep breath, with spiritual power surging through his extraordinary vessels and channels.

Boom!

The next moment, an immense spiritual power erupted from within him like a tsunami, unceasing.

This time, Ning Fan held nothing back, almost pouring out all of his power!

The spiritual power surged like a raging river, and even from outside the formation, the three tower defenders could feel the vigorous power within Ning Fan’s body.

"Truly terrifying..."

"So young, and yet he possesses such strength!"

"How on earth did he cultivate?"

All three of them had expressions of shocked disbelief, unable to accept that this was the power Ning Fan possessed.

It simply wasn’t the level that someone of his age should have!

"Worthy of being Ning Potian’s son... No wonder the tower defenders of the first and second layers were defeated by him."

The tower defenders were interconnected, and when the first and second layers failed, they were already aware of Ning Fan’s arrival.

It’s just that at that time, they didn’t realize that Ning Fan would possess such a terrifying strength.

"Can the formation withstand this?"

"I don’t know... We have never tested the limit of this set of formations."

The leading tower defender said in a grave tone, "No need to worry, this formation can not only absorb his power but also use that power to strengthen itself. So, the stronger the force he exerts, the stronger the formation becomes."

"At this rate, he’ll never be able to break the formation in his lifetime!"

The most correct way to unravel it was to use the smallest force possible, exploring the construction of the formation bit by bit, unraveling it from the source.
