Chapter 1041 Killing True Immortals

Translator: podao001

“What?! Pseudo-Divine artifact! Doesn’t this mean he has eight pseudo-Divine artifacts? Since when did pseudo-Divine artifacts become so worthless? Also, if he has so many good items, why come after my magic treasures?” Chen Feng was astounded.

“Not pseudo-Divine artifacts. I just said they are the equivalent of pseudo-Divine artifacts.”

“What’s the difference?”

“There’s a big difference here. Take this little brat for example. He is simply incapable of making these eight stone pillars display the might of a pseudo-Divine artifact.”

“I don’t get it.” Chen Feng sent the Immortal Slaughter Sword flying out to hack down on the chains around him.

As a top-grade Immortal artifact containing the will of carnage and slice, the Immortal Slaughter Sword was able to easily hack apart even other Immortal artifacts. And so, sword light flashed and the surrounding chains were cut apart.

Chen Feng and the Dark Kirin broke free only for the waves of energy fluctuations to come once again to seriously wound their souls. Yet again, new chains emerged to bind them.

“This again?” Helpless, Chen Feng directed the Immortal Slaughter Sword to hack the chains before sending it slashing at the black-clad cultivator trapped in the river.

In Chen Feng’s opinion, by killing off the black-clad cultivator, everything would end.

Sou!

The Dark Kirin immediately slipped into the darkness as he prepared to unleash an attack.

Struck by the sword attack from Chen Feng, the black-clad cultivator screamed. Following that, the stone pillars fired out a third wave of energy fluctuations.

This time, Chen Feng was ready. A Soul Subduing Talisman, formed using the Longevity Tower’s power, safeguarded Chen Feng’s mind, allowing him to steadily block this attack.

“Hack!”

“Slash!”

Chen Feng and the Dark Kirin attacked at the same time, Chen Feng with the Immortal Slaughter Sword while the Dark Kirin with the Kirin Slash of Extreme Night move that he had used previously. With that, the black-clad cultivator ended up in a terrible state. His whole body was shredded apart and a clump of black-coloured primary spirit flew out from the river to quickly fly away.

“Now that it’s come to this, you want to run? Not so fast!” As the black-clad cultivator’s body had been destroyed, this was the best time to get rid of him.

However, Chen Feng had underestimated just how much power this True Immortal could display in the face of death. The primary spirit flew into one of the stone pillars and all eight of them shone with light at the same time to charge forward, smashing themselves heavily against Chen Feng and the Dark Kirin.

Without waiting to see the result of the move, the eight stone pillars rapidly disappeared. Clearly, the black-clad cultivator had taken a serious blow earlier and he no longer had any desire to fight them.

But Chen Feng and the Dark Kirin refused to let him off. He was a cultivator from the Soulgobbling Clan, in possession of eight wondrous stone pillars, each the equivalent of a pseudo-Divine artifact. These two factors were enough for them to risk it.

Only, before Chen Feng and the Dark Kirin could do anything, two astral swords shot towards them, one from the left and one from the right.

Sou!

The Immortal Slaughter Sword flew up to shatter one of the astral swords while the Dark Kirin dealt with the other one.

Next, two True Immortals from the Immortal Plane, clad in silver armour, appeared before them. Chen Feng’s eyes darted about and he saw two more streams of light disappearing into the distance. They were following the fleeing black-clad cultivator.

Seeing that, Chen Feng then exchanged glances with the Dark Kirin, an amused look on their faces. To think that they would try to target the black-clad cultivator.

When it came to other cultivators on the same level, cultivators from the Soulgobbling Clan were much stronger. In Chen Feng’s opinion, although the black-clad cultivator’s body had been destroyed, sending two True Immortals from the Immortal Plane after him was the equivalent of sending them to their deaths.

As for the True Immortals Chen Feng had to face, if there were only two of them, they would surely end up dying all the same. Their plan of becoming the oriole preying on the mantis that was hunting the cicada would be foiled.

“You’ve worked hard chasing me all the way here. Though, it would appear that you fellows have suffered from considerable losses. At any rate, you fellows do not have the protection of pseudo-Divine artifacts,” Chen Feng said smilingly.

Hearing those words, the expression on the two True Immortals’ faces turned even more hostile. It was the truth. Since entering this space, they hadn’t managed to obtain much. And yet, several of them, True Immortals, had died here.

Apart from concern, they also felt more resentful towards Chen Feng.

Earlier, they had noticed Chen Feng fighting against an unknown cultivator and they hid themselves. And now, seeing that both sides were already wounded, they swiftly charged out to take advantage of the situation.

Due to that, the two of them did not want to exchange nonsense with Chen Feng. They attacked immediately. The two of them were sword immortals with formidable offensive power and they exuded a formidable killing-type energy. Chen Feng and the Dark Kirin did not act carelessly. The Dark Kirin brought out the Dark Scripture to attack while Chen Feng waved his hand to bring out the Bedazzling Star Map, which created a thick barrier for them.

After exchanging blows a few times, black light flashed and the two True Immortals were sealed up inside the Dark Scripture.

“For less than 10 True Immortals to come is simply suicide,” Chen Feng said, bringing out the Void Maelstrom. The Void Maelstrom acted in concert with his Magic Eyes of Darkness, allowing his gaze to pierce through layer after layer of space. Not even the power of chaos could stop the gaze.

“Here!”

Chen Feng’s eyes flashed and the power of the void and darkness fired out at the same time, causing a spot tens of millions of li away from them to shake. As a result, two True Immortals were forced out from hiding.

Sou!

Like a meteor, something flashed by them to instantly and grievously wound one of the two True Immortals. Just as they were about to flee, however, a river swept forward to engulf them and they disappeared from sight.

“In the face of the True Immortal from the Soulgobbling Clan, even in a two against one scenario, we had nearly lost. But now, despite going one against two, we are able to easily win. There is a large gap between the True Immortals of the Immortal Plane and the True Immortals from the Celestial Planes, let alone the Celestial Soulgobbling Clan that had once been a hegemon of the Celestial Planes,” Chen Feng said. He was not at all surprised to see that he was able to finish off the two True Immortals with the help of his magic treasures.

Chen Feng’s gaze moved to peer far ahead once more and it did not take long before he saw the two True Immortals catch up to the fleeing black-clad cultivator. Next up, the two True Immortals from the Immortal Plane struggled against the black-clad cultivator for a moment before their souls were devoured. During their moments of death, a look of horror could be seen on their faces. In Chen Feng’s opinion, the two of them were likely in the dark about the Soulgobbling Clan. At any rate, the Soulgobbling Clan had been destroyed for ten million years, maybe longer. As for these True Immortals from the Immortal Plane, having a cultivation age of a million years was already a decent accomplishment on their part.

“These True Immortals are actually not grouped up. To be splitting up in this kind of situation is the equivalent of suicide.”

“Previously, they were chasing us. Now, if we encounter them again, we will be able to counter attack and kill them off.”

Weng!

A wave of light, formed from death energy, swept out from the distance once again. Sensing danger, both Chen Feng and the Dark Kirin promptly hid themselves inside the Bedazzling Star Map.

Next, the pseudo-Divine artifact shook and a high number of cracks appeared. After that, high amounts of death energy surged inside. Chen Feng responded by grasping and strands of the death energy entered his body. His Death acupoint stirred as it began devouring and refining the death energy.

I have already refined a portion of this power of death. I think I should already be able to find the source of this power of death, Chen Feng thought.

If I can absorb more of this power of death, then even if it is the corpse of a Heavenly Immortal, I should still be able to approach it, right? Chen Feng pondered.

The wave of death energy swiftly passed and the Bedazzling Star Map successfully endured it. Thanks to that, Chen Feng was able to collect a good deal of the death energy.

This is not the way to go. Just the power of death that the other party is emitting can damage pseudo-Divine artifacts. As I recall, Heavenly Immortals should not possess this kind of ability. Assessing the situation, Chen Feng then grew puzzled. From what he could remember, pseudo-Divine artifacts were already strong enough to kill off Heavenly Immortals.

“There are strong and weak pseudo-Divine artifacts. Likewise, there are also strong and weak Heavenly Immortals. There are also distinctions between the strong and the weak when it comes to one’s ability to utilize magic treasures,” Tower said.

Chen Feng fell silent and nodded his head. “Understood.”

“If I can really get my hands on the corpse of a Heavenly Immortal... ha ha! I will be able to open up the sixth floor. By obtaining the power I left during my prime, even fighting Heavenly Immortals will not be an issue,” Tower said with a bold and lofty tone.

“It’s probably not that simple.” Chen Feng retorted.

“The path of cultivation is never simple.”

“Let’s not talk about pointless stuff. Next up, we’ll let our actions prove our worth.”

“I want to assail the True Immortal stage.” Suddenly, Huo Yunlong appeared before Chen Feng.

“You?” Chen Feng regarded Huo Yunlong, curious as to what had stimulated that decision from Huo Yunlong.

“No, you are still not strong enough.” Chen Feng was not wrong. Huo Yunlong had only just overcome his tribulation not too long ago. To be undergoing the tribulation for the True Immortal stage now, Chen Feng did not believe that he could do it.

“Look at me again.” Seeing Chen Feng’s attitude, Huo Yunlong grew somewhat displeased.

“Let me see.” Chen Feng then utilized his eye technique to begin scanning Huo Yunlong. This time, he noticed it. Huo Yunlong’s entire body had become like a compressed furnace. Flames surged inside as the power of fire rampaged about. It gave others a feeling of extreme danger.

“Oh!”

Chen Feng exclaimed and he raised the power behind his gaze slightly while tutting. “Unexpectedly, you have completely absorbed and fused with the Seed of the Fire Essence. At present, your fleshly body is even stronger than some spiritual bodies. No wonder you would want to undergo your tribulation. However, I would advise you to hone yourself for a while longer.”

“I concur. You should cultivate some more. The Seed of the Fire Essence from Flame World is not an ordinary item. Rather, it is even superior compared to some divine objects. The fact that you can fully refine and absorb it means that your future is immeasurably great. But after refining it, you will need some time to stabilize it,” the Dark Kirin said as well.

“I understand what you two mean. However, can I not be impatient here? Seeing you two kill off one True Immortal after another, I want in on the action as well,” Huo Yunlong said with a wry smile.

“You want in on the action, huh? Sure thing. When we find the cultivator from the Soulgobbling Clan, we’ll let you in on the action.” Chen Feng laughed.

“Forget it, you. That fellow is just too mysterious. I cannot handle him.”

“Since entering this place, I have been getting this feeling that it would be a long time before we get out. I might be undergoing my tribulation here as well. Thus, there is no need for you to get antsy. Once your cultivation base has stabilized, I will think of a way to break the restrictions on tribulation here,” Chen Feng said.

“Look, something interesting is happening outside.” Huo Yunlong suddenly smiled.

The Bedazzling Star Map had been flashing through space non-stop, becoming like a streaking asteroid. At that very moment, there was a broken planet located not too far away from the Bedazzling Star Map. The broken planet shook violently and Chen Feng could see that there were several True Immortals on the planet. In addition, there was also a gigantic yao beast there. Following that, the three of them sensed the energy waves coming from the broken planet.
