Chapter 873 Various Types of Creatures

“Someone saved us.”

After killing off the demon souls and vengeful spirit, the cultivators breathed a sigh of relief. Turning to look at one another, they then revealed bitter smiles. All of them were wounded. They would not have been able to hold on for much longer.

“It’s the fellow from Artefact Sect that we met earlier. If it weren’t for him, all of us would have died here.”

“His name is Chen Feng. How is he so powerful?”

“He’s just borrowing the power of a Dao artefact.”

“Shut it! He saved us.”

“Yes. He could have just ignored us. His warning earlier turned out to be correct. As it is, we can no longer continue advancing. We have suffered from too many casualties. Liu Tian, He Ming and Sun Huan have died. No matter how much we obtain here, it is not as valuable as our lives. I suggest heading back now.”

“I agree.”

“Chen Feng. Artefact Sect. I will remember this name.”

After that, they returned. Upon returning to Domain World, they began inquiring about Chen Feng. After spending quite some time on it, they found out that there was no such character in Artefact Sect.

Naturally, Chen Feng was unaware of this. By the time they found out, Chen Feng had already returned to Eternal World. The next time he encountered Artefact Sect would be during the Planar Battlefield.

Returning to the present, Chen Feng, who was half a million kilometres away from them, was fighting against a monster formed entirely from bones. It was 100 zhang tall and there were thousands of bones on its body. Strands of demonic flames burned across its body and it was constantly emanating a chaotic aura and a sky-vaulting killing intent.

This was yet another creature found in the Planar Battlefield, the bone demon.

Formed from the bones of dead cultivators, it possessed demonic thoughts and was capable of producing flames similar to that of the Demon Plane’s demonic flames. However, the demonic flames it produced was somewhat different.

This bone demon Chen Feng faced was truly formidable, comparable to a high-level Human Immortal.

The bones forming its body seemed to have undergone a certain type of tempering process. They were abnormally tough. Even with the Longevity Sword, Chen Feng was incapable of breaking through its defence. In the end, he had to bring out the Domain Geocompass to defeat it.

Boom!

After just a brief clash, the bone demon broke apart, its bones scattering about. However, they did not break. Seeing that left Chen Feng secretly surprised.

After its bones burst outwards, a circular bead flew into Chen Feng’s hand. It was the bone demon’s core. With this core, it was possible for the bone demon to search for bones and reform a new body.

This thing is really strange. It feels like something from the Ghost Plane. Chen Feng shook his head, picking up a bone to inspect.

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

Suddenly, four figures appeared to instantly surround Chen Feng.

These fellows. Are they thinking about robbing me? Chen Feng wondered.

“Hand over the bone demon’s demon bead,” one of them said coolly, a look of arrogance on his face.

“A mid-grade Dao artefact. Not bad. Hand it over as well.” Another cultivator saw the Domain Geocompass in Chen Feng’s hand.

It was quite an amusing sight for Chen Feng. These people were actually trying to rob him. Seriously. They must be tired of living.

That said, their cultivation bases were quite good. Every one of them was a peak-level Human Immortal. Additionally, grand dao powers were also emanating from every one of them. This signified that the four of them possessed Dao artefacts.

From the looks of it, these four should be from a first-rate sect. I wonder which sect they are from?

Speaking of which, since regaining his memories, Chen Feng had been – subconsciously – looking down on the cultivators from the other life-bearing worlds. Even the Immortal Plane no longer held the lofty position that it used to in Chen Feng’s mind. The Myriad Celestial Planes had never viewed the Immortal Plane as a serious threat.

It was a feeling of disdain that came from the very depths of his heart.

The four cultivators possessed nothing that could give them the qualifications to be putting on airs in front of Chen Feng while Chen Feng himself looked down on them.

Weng!

Without a word from Chen Feng, power emanated out from the Domain Geocompass, which flared with light. Instantly, it unfurled a domain, which encased all four cultivators.

Lightning roared, wind sliced and the atmosphere of mountains and lakes suppressed them as Heaven and Earth came into shape. All of it swiftly assailed the four cultivators.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the face of Chen Feng’s attack, all four revealed looks of ridicule. Next, a magic treasure emerged from each of them and formidable streams of aura charged skywards to easily break the domain that the Domain Geocompass had created.

An axe, a lance, a sword and an iron mace.

The four magic treasures hovered above the four cultivators’ heads respectively and the aura they radiated indicated that all four were mid-grade Dao artefacts.

Every single one of them was on the same level as the Domain Geocompass.

However, the Domain Geocompass had only just reached its present level not too long ago while the four magic treasures exuded a quaint aura. It was clear that they had existed for a long time.

“Ha ha ha ha! Are you thinking of getting on your knees and kowtowing right now? However, even if you want to do that now, it’s too late!”

“Not necessarily. If you hurry up and get on your knees, you might be able to stay alive.”

“Hand over the magic treasure and demon bead!”

“Are you still not going to kneel?”

All four of them laughed loudly as they gestured wildly. They did not appear like high-level cultivators at all.

It is no wonder these four fellows would be so arrogant. They do have the capital to do so. However, their strength is somewhat lacking. It must have been attained through medicinal pills. Not to mention, they were even bestowed enlightenment from experts. The four magic treasures have imprints and seals on them. They must be there to make it easier for the four of them to control.

These four are just average fellows. They could only act wantonly by relying on their backer. However, in order to help them this much, their backer must at least be at the high-level Earthen Immortal stage.

Nodding his head, Chen Feng then brought out the Deepsea Maelstrom to once again imprison the four cultivators.

In the face of the top-grade Dao artefact, the four cultivators were incapable of fighting back. The Dao artefacts in their hands flew out from their control as they were sucked into the swirling currents.

“Argh! This is a top-grade Dao artefact!”

“Friend, release us! Our backer is not someone you can afford to offend!”

“Release us and we can forget about this!”

“Kid, you have a death wish! The one behind us is a peak-level Earthen Immortal! You cannot afford to offend someone like him!”

Even then, the four of them were still threatening Chen Feng.

Unfortunately for them, Chen Feng remained unmoved. He continued mobilizing the Deepsea Maelstrom to grind the four of them to shreds, one by one.

As he did, an image appeared from each of the four cultivators, releasing the majestic aura of an Earthen Immortal as it appeared. Clearly, it was due to the imprint that the peak-level Earthen Immortal had left within the four cultivators.

“Junior, you dare! Stop right this instant!”

“Insolence!”

“You have a death wish!”

“Stop it!”

The imprints of four Earthen Immortals shouted while charging towards Chen Feng.

Chen Feng responded with a faint smile. “Why keep wastrels like these? Just kill them. You should be thanking me here.”

The semi-transparent silhouette of a lance drilled forward and the four imprints were shattered.

“An Immortal artefact!”

“Little friend, be merciful!”

As the imprints were shattering apart, some of them spoke up, hoping that Chen Feng would spare the cultivators.

Once again, Chen Feng was unmoved. The Deepsea Maelstrom continued spinning to kill them all, even grinding their souls into oblivion.

Chen Feng detested people like this the most. Acting wantonly despite not having the ability to do so. Even if they do possess a backer, people like these would not live long.

See? They died after meeting Chen Feng, no?

In the process of obliterating their souls, Chen Feng also obtained some useful information.

In addition to the fact that this Planar Battlefield had a passageway leading to Eternal World, there were also cultivators from Eternal World here. These cultivators were here to train themselves.

Domain World, Eternal World. Whenever cultivators from these two worlds encountered one another, they would instantly start fighting. Of course, before the Planar War began, they would not engage in a large-scale battle. However, the Planar Battlefield was a big place. Thus, there would be several battles between both sides every day.

After receiving news of that, Chen Feng felt relieved.

His soul power spread out once more. This time, it spread to a distance of 250,000 kilometres before stopping. This was Chen Feng’s current limit.

There were some cultivators within the area he scanned. However, there were even more blood fiends, demon souls and other creatures.

Chen Feng moved quickly and it did not take long before he found the cultivators. Instantly, he took action, restraining them before utilizing a soul-searching technique on them to find out what he wanted to know.

Cultivators under the Earthen Immortal stage were practically incapable of fighting back against him.

However, Chen Feng did not kill them. He even modified their memories after he was done searching their souls so that they would not remember him.

To think that the passageway is so far away. Still, now I have a rough knowledge of its location.

After obtaining the information, Chen Feng did not stop. He quickly advanced. Speaking of which, he had left Eternal World for a total of 10 years. It was time he returned to check things out.

Naturally, Chen Feng planned on making the necessary arrangements before heading to outer space again. The reason for that was because he needed to avoid some potential dangers, such as the pursuit of the forces from the Myriad Celestial Planes.

News of the Longevity Tower’s existence had become exposed. This was a major event. Chen Feng could already imagine the reaction from the Myriad Celestial Planes and some high-level worlds once they learn about this.

Power! I am still far too lacking! In the end, Chen Feng sighed.

Bang!

Suddenly, a clump of flames exploded in front of Chen Feng. After that, they quickly took the form of a gigantic human. This figure held a flaming trident in its hand, radiating an aggressive air of majesty, looking like a God of Fire.

After appearing, it attacked Chen Feng.

This is a fire demon. Chen Feng swung his hand and a sword beam flashed out to block the incoming attack.

The fire demon was not an ordinary creature of fire. This fire demon was a lifeform created entirely from Soulflame. It was an existence far stronger compared to vengeful spirits.

The fire demon was born from the Soulflames left behind by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dead cultivators. Only after going through various fusion and tempering processes would the resulting Soulflames gain the chance to create a fire demon.

It was a Heaven-defying and ghastly existence. Naturally, it was also highly powerful.

This fire demon that Chen Feng encountered was one such example.

Bang!

The sword beam exploded and Chen Feng was forced back. However, the fire demon’s attack did not weaken in the slightest.

It is at the Earthen Immortal stage.

“Heaven and Earth occupy their positions!”

The Domain Geocompass shone with light to form a small shield before Chen Feng.

Bang!

A booming sound rang out and the small shield broke as well.

Impressive!

Chen Feng punched and the incoming attack was finally stopped. Instantly, however, Chen Feng sensed a peculiar energy flowing through his hand and into his sea of wisdom.

This stream of energy was cold on the outside but blazingly hot inside. This was a Soulflame attack. However, the variations and methods behind this attack was of a much higher grade compared to the average Soulflame.

1 li = 0.5 km

1 zhang = 3.333 m
