Chapter 1268 The Dark Plane’s Essence

Translator: podao001

After the power of darkness entered Chen Feng’s body, some changes came over his whole being. His eyes turned pitch black and two black talismans, devoid of lustre, slowly spun within his pupils. Every rotation would bring one wave of the power of darkness into his eyes.

“It’s the Magic Eyes of Darkness!” Magiris, who was beside Chen Feng, exclaimed. Quickly, however, a change happened to Magiris’ eyes as well and circles of black-coloured ripples gathered and compressed within his eyes. Next, the rate at which he devoured the power of darkness surpassed Chen Feng.

Magiris was born with the Magic Eyes, after all. In terms of eye power, he was stronger than Chen Feng.

Weng!

A mote of black light appeared within Chen Feng’s sea of wisdom. After that, the black light expanded, transforming into the semi-transparent silhouette of a scripture. Following the appearance of the scripture, the Dark Plane’s primary essence shook slightly.

“Oh, someone has made contact with the primary essence.” Many of the Gold Immortals within Dark Night City noticed the unusual situation.

“It came from the Grand Dark Night Palace. It must be due to Lord Dark Night’s cultivation efforts.”

“Yes. This is the aura of the Dark Scripture. However, it feels a little faint.”

After discussing for a moment, the divine senses of the Gold Immortals disappeared.

This fellow! Although Magiris was in the midst of cultivating himself, he was aware of what’s happening with Chen Feng. He could not stop himself from becoming somewhat envious of him.

It may be possible to put aside the fact that Chen Feng had cultivated the Magic Eyes of Darkness, but Chen Feng also possessed that semi-transparent silhouette of the Dark Scripture. With that, he would be able to perfectly absorb the Dark Plane’s power of darkness. His cultivation speed here would likely become ten times greater compared to Magiris’ cultivation speed.

Chen Feng was aware that this semi-transparent silhouette of the Dark Scripture was something imprinted upon his sea of wisdom with the Dark Kirin’s assistance back then. It was not something that he formed on his own.

Time passed and Chen Feng’s Magic Eyes of Darkness – surprisingly – levelled up. Even his Divine Eyes of Heavenly Insight underwent a slightly unusual change. At the same time, the tangible quality of the semi-transparent silhouette of the Dark Scripture rose by a notch.

During this cultivation session, the amount of essence power I devoured has exceeded even the amount I devoured from the Celestial Longevity Plane in the past. With this, there is now a bond between me and the Dark Plane. I can no longer distance myself from this war, Chen Feng thought.

It wasn’t just Chen Feng. Even Magiris had the same thought.

The rate at which Chen Feng absorbed the Dark Plane’s essence power had exceeded Magiris’ estimate. The reason for that was that Magiris had forgotten about Chen Feng’s Chaos Constitution.

Even Chen Feng’s eye technique and state of mind experienced a great improvement. In addition, his bodily worlds were also expanding in size. Every increase in size would require an ocean-like amount of power.

Chen Feng’s body was like a bottomless pit that can never be filled. In the end, it shocked even the Dark Kirin.

“That’s right. This kid possesses the Chaos Constitution. The amount of power he can absorb is ten times greater than most,” the Dark Kirin mumbled with a smile.

“Sir Planar Lord, the army of Slaughterers have come again.” A half-step Gold Immortal came over to report the matter. The half-step Gold Immortal came in the form of a human, but his real body was that of a Demonic Shadow Panther. Generally speaking, only dark cultivators who had completely submitted themselves to the Dark Kirin would address him as the Planar Lord.

“Relay my orders. Mobilize one million Heavenly Immortals from the Dark Night Corps. Have them come over immediately!” the Dark Kirin said solemnly.

“My Lord, the Dark Night Corps is under the Department of Elders. I will likely be incapable of mobilizing them,” the half-step Gold Immortal hastily said, his face paling.

“You just need to relay my orders,” the Dark Kirin said with a smile.

“Understood!” The half-step Gold Immortal gritted his teeth and headed out.

“It’s about time I take action against the Department of Elders. But before that, let’s see their response,” the Dark Kirin said softly.

“Fellows, let’s go,” the Dark Kirin said, taking a stride forward. At the same time, ten or so cultivators emerged from the shadows of the grand palace. Surprisingly, all of them were Gold Immortals.

“His Lordship is about to take action against the Department of Elders, but those elders will likely not give up their authority so easily.”

“Humph! The Dark Night Corps is the strongest corps in the Dark Plane. If His Lordship can take control of it, his position as the Planar Lord of the Dark Plane will become more stable.”

“His Lordship has the Dark Scripture. He even managed to obtain the recognition of the Dark Plane’s primary essence. His future accomplishments will surely be even greater. Since we have chosen to follow him, we cannot have second thoughts.

“That goes without saying.”

“By the way, did you fellows see His Lordship’s two friends?”

“One of them is from the Celestial Longevity Plane while the other one is from the Celestial Malla Plane. Their backgrounds are very strong. If the two of them throw their full support behind His Lordship, those fellows who’ve been having other thoughts will become obedient.”

“To be fighting against the Slaughterers at a time like this, I feel like His Lordship is a little too hasty.”

“Wrong, the invasion of Slaughterers is what gave His Lordship the opportunity. The way I see it, even if he cannot obtain the Dark Night Corps, he will still be able to get the authority to command it.

Time flew. By the time Chen Feng’s cultivation session came to an end, one year had passed. Turning to find Magiris, Chen Feng found that Magiris had gone off to who knows where.

I wonder, what is the present situation of the Dark Plane? Chen Feng pondered before walking out from the Grand Dark Night Palace.

The one year spent in cultivation had led to a great improvement in Chen Feng’s strength. Thus, he felt even more gratitude towards the Dark Kirin.

Naturally, Chen Feng was aware that it was due to him having absorbed large amounts of essence power.

Eh, the Slaughterers have managed to enter Dark Night City! Looking at the small group of Slaughterers rushing in his direction, Chen Feng grew slightly shocked.

By Chen Feng’s estimate, even Gold Immortals would have a hard time breaking into this city. If so, how did these True Immortal stage Slaughterers break in?

Before he could make his move, a group of Dark Plane soldiers appeared to swiftly kill off the Slaughterers.

Chen Feng’s divine sense spread out. In the end, his brows furrowed. He had sensed the existence of Space-time Slaughterers.

Amongst all the Slaughterers, this was the most troublesome opponent. The Space-time Slaughterer was simply a mobile fortress. With enough time, one Space-time Slaughterer could teleport over billions of Slaughterers.

Dark Night and the rest are not here. Magiris is also not here. As for the Gold Immortals, it would appear that there are only a handful of them in this city. If so... Chen Feng felt somewhat surprised. In his opinion, something like this should not have happened.

Dark Night City is under attack, but Dark Night and the others did not appear. This means that they are either being held down or there is something even more important that they have to deal with.

After pondering the issue, Chen Feng swung his palm and a group consisting of 100 Slaughterers was simply broken up.

Following that, he casually moved around Dark Night City at random. Every now and again, he would take action to kill off groups of Slaughterers.

The various magic arrays within Dark Night City automatically activated and nearly one third of the Slaughterers that entered the city were killed within the magic arrays. A portion of the Slaughterers also ended up trapped within the magic arrays. In Chen Feng’s opinion, those too, would end up dying.

Suddenly, a small group of 10 half-step Gold Immortals charged towards Chen Feng, forming a sharp-looking formation as they did. Everywhere they went, a high number of magic arrays would be destroyed.

Although Chen Feng was only at the Heavenly Immortal stage, the Slaughterers could sense that he was no ordinary cultivator. Due to that, the 10 half-step Gold Immortals chose to group up to attack him.

Of course, if the Slaughterers had known that Chen Feng could kill off a Gold Immortal, they would not have done that.

When there were still around 10 metres between the group of half-step Gold Immortals and Chen Feng, they suddenly stopped. Though, it would be more accurate to say that they were frozen in mid-air. There was a look of fear within the Slaughterers’ eyes, but they were incapable of moving. Next, the space there became like a broken crystal, shattering apart. The 10 Slaughterers broke to pieces along with the space.

Chen Feng shook his head as his figure disappeared from sight. For him, half-step Gold Immortals were already somewhat weak. It was such that he could not find the motivation to fight them. That earlier was just a casual display of the Longevity Dimension Technique. Its effect was quite good.

His objective was the Space-time Slaughterers. Along the way, Chen Feng’s kill count quickly rose above the 10,000 mark. Finally, he found a Space-time Slaughterer.

Chen Feng stamped the ground with his foot and a thick earthen power abruptly erupted from the ground to send the Space-time Slaughterer that was crouched on the ground flying. Due to this interruption, it failed to maintain the spatial passageway on its back. After shaking a few times, the passageway closed up and disappeared.

A thick killing intent flashed across the Space-time Slaughterer’s eyes before several blades of light shot towards Chen Feng, one after the other. But that was not all. The tens of half-step Gold Immortal stage Slaughterers beside it also combined their powers to fire out a unified attack.

Chen Feng responded with a punch and a concentrated fist blast pushed forward to stop the blades of light. Then, he stamped his foot and earthen power surged forth once more. The surrounding arrays were activated and they engulfed every single one of the Slaughterers there.

Following that, Chen Feng strode towards the Space-time Slaughterer. As he was moving forward, Chen Feng also linked up with the Dark Plane’s essence to form an earthen cage. Immediately, the Space-time Slaughterer sensed a viscous and restraining power binding its body, severely affecting its movements.

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

Several tentacle-like whips flew out from the Space-time Slaughterer’s body to attack Chen Feng. The force behind this move stirred up their surrounding space and a similar restraining power moved to suppress Chen Feng.

Chen Feng knew the Space-time Slaughterers all too well by now. He did not back away in the face of this attack. Instead, he swiftly rushed forward using the Longevity Steps, flitting non-stop through the gaps. In the end, he waved his hand and sword light flashed. Several of the whips were cut down and Chen Feng landed on the Space-time Slaughterer’s back.

Ignoring the vortex appearing beneath his feet, Chen Feng fired out black light from his eyes. The black light then moved to envelop the massive Space-time Slaughterer.

By the time the Space-time Slaughterer broke free from the curtain of darkness that Chen Feng created, it found that Chen Feng had disappeared. Due to that, it became terribly enraged.

Chen Feng did not continue to attack the Space-time Slaughterer. His objective was only to disrupt the teleportation process.

Arriving before the second Space-time Slaughterer, he engaged in a brief battle with it before leaving again.

And so, Chen Feng kept moving through Dark Night City, fighting the Slaughterers every now and again.

This is already the eighth Space-time Slaughterer. Chen Feng felt somewhat exhausted. However, he grew more sombre. If the ones to enter Dark Night City were ordinary Slaughterers, even if there were 100 million of them, their effect on the city would not be particularly great. But the destructive power that these Gold Immortal stage Slaughterers possessed was simply immense.

More, they were mobile fortresses.

I can only do my best here. I wonder, when will Dark Night and the others return? Chen Feng sighed inwardly.
