Chapter 962 In Danger

Translator: podao001

As expected, there are still others waiting in ambush. Only, I wonder who? Chen Feng scoffed, the Longevity Tower flying out from his hand. It abruptly released a pulse of power, causing the other two Ascendant Immortals from the Boltfiend Clan to convulse. Cracks spread out across their bodies and Heavenly Premier Absolute rushed forward to attack with his Absolute Staff, reducing them to pieces with but a rap each.

“We got to kill three Ascendant Immortals right from the get go! This feels really good!” Heavenly Premier Absolute felt somewhat smug.

“Right now, it doesn’t matter how many enemies we kill. Do not forget, we still do not know if Patriarch Carefree and the others are still alive or not.” Chen Feng did not lower his guard. This was a trap and Chen Feng did not believe that this was all their opponents had in store for them.

Shua!

A cyan-coloured sword beam broke through space and Bi Qing flew out from the space beyond the spatial rift. Behind him were Patriarch Carefree and Patriarch Heavenly Yang. Only, the two of them were already badly wounded. Without waiting for them to say anything, Chen Feng brought them into the Longevity Tower.

“Profound Truth has died while only a minor portion of Heavenly Enigma’s soul is left. As for the 600,000 cultivators we sent over, more than half had died,” Bi Qing said, stretching his hand to reveal a sphere of energy. Patriarch Heavenly Enigma’s face could be seen within the sphere.

“Island Lord Chen, save me!” Patriarch Heavenly Enigma cried out wretchedly.

Chen Feng nodded and the Longevity Tower exerted a suction force to suck Patriarch Heavenly Enigma inside. His soul was the only thing that remained of him. Rather, it was a damaged soul. Something like this was a good item for any cultivator, something that they would fight one another for. And yet, Patriarch Heavenly Enigma had managed to escape. Only, it would be incredibly difficult to recover. Of course, that was not an issue for Chen Feng.

“I will help you rebuild your body,” Chen Feng told him, hints of killing intent emerging from his heart. His forces had suffered from serious losses this time. Furthermore, they were still in the dark as to what would happen next.

“Unexpectedly, the Divine Wilderness Temple is actually a legendary Divine artifact. I really didn’t expect this,” Bi Qing said.

“They have the support of a Divine artifact. They will not be easy to handle. Right now, I am just wondering, how much of this Divine artifact’s power can they utilize? If my Longevity Tower can devour it...” After saying that, Chen Feng began snickering.

“It’ll be very difficult. If we start a war with them, we will surely be put in a disadvantageous position. We’ll have to run away,” Bi Qing said.

“Run from a Divine artifact? Eternal World is only so big. If we want to escape, we may have to keep all our cultivators in the Longevity Tower and escape to outer space. That said, I don’t think it’s that serious. We do have many Ascendant Immortals on our side. The other party will likely not want to fight us to the death.”

By then, Chen Feng could already sense the Dark Kirin’s arrival. He felt elated. The Dark Kirin was the heir to the Dark Scripture, a creature of darkness with a cultivation base at the Yao Overlord (Ascendant) stage. Add the unique features of his power of darkness, it would be very hard for even True Immortals to quickly detect the Dark Kirin when he goes into stealth mode.

Now that a formidable supporter had arrived, Chen Feng swiftly sent Bi Qing a secret vocal transmission and the two of them quickly came up with a plan.

The Heavenly Premiers Absolute and Eternal had already gathered up beside Chen Feng. They had seen how badly injured Heavenly Premier Boltfiend and the others were and heard what Bi Qing said. Thus, they knew that the situation was not looking good for them.

Suddenly, their surrounding space rippled and layer after layer of barriers spread out around them, caging them inside.

“Island Lord Chen, how have you been?” One cultivator after another appeared before them. There were the cultivators from the Boltfiend Clan with indistinguishable facial features and cultivators from the Lightning Plane clad in armour that flashed with lightning radiance. Additionally, there was also Heavenly Premier Ninelink, who led a group of cultivators from Heavenly Firmaments Palace.

There were up to 20 Ascendant Immortals there, all casting predatory gazes at Chen Feng’s team of four. At the same time, strands of power descended to support the 20 Ascendant Immortals. As a result, their auras grew stronger and every single one of them was a match for Heavenly Premier Absolute.

“That’s quite a lot you are putting into this. However, do you think that this is enough to entrap me?” Chen Feng sneered. At the same time, he utilized the Longevity Tower to communicate with those from East Dragon Island to find out what was happening there.

As expected, East Dragon Island was under siege. This time, they had to face a very high number of enemies, over 10 million of them. More importantly, the enemies were led by Ascendant Immortals. Additionally, they were also fielding a very high number of Earthen Immortals and Human Immortals.

Besides the massive offensive from Heavenly Firmaments Palace, several first-rate sects from the Central Plains came forward as well. Even in the Eastern Provinces and Western Regions, several formidable forces emerged to head towards the Central Plains.

Are they going to start a decisive battle with East Dragon Island so quickly? Although surprised, Chen Feng did not feel too concerned about that. East Dragon Island was not alone, after all. There were also the Four Great Academies, Heavenly Sword Faction and other first-rate sects. If the enemy forces could break the might of those sects combined, then Chen Feng would have nothing else to say. In such a scenario, he would be better off just running away from Eternal World.

Chen Feng then ignored what was happening outside. He needed to concentrate on dealing with the present situation. The biggest danger here was that their enemies also have the support of a Divine artifact. If it weren’t for the Divine Wilderness Temple, Chen Feng was confident that they would be able to escape. At that very moment, though, he could no longer be certain about it. He could sense great danger assailing his state of mind.

“Fellows, we’ll be facing a desperate fight here. East Dragon Island is now facing a large-scale siege. Our forces have already met the enemy in battle,” Chen Feng said.

“Even though they came prepared, they will not have an easy time killing me. Who knows? I might be able to drag two of them down with me!” Heavenly Premier Absolute laughed, his will to fight soaring. He had cultivated inside the Longevity Tower, advanced to the mid-level Ascendant Immortal stage and obtained a True law. His rate of cultivation in recent years had been fast. And now, in the face of pressure, not only did he not reveal fear, he instead felt that his cultivation level was rising again, however slight it may be.

“Chen Feng, Bi Qing, you two are great personages from the Celestial Planes. Why must you interfere in the affairs of our mundane world? I’ll say it again. As long as the two of you do not interfere, we will surely reward you generously,” Heavenly Premier Ninelink said with a smile.

“If we don’t interfere, we will be generously rewarded?” Chen Feng and Bi Qing exchanged glances. They could not stop themselves from smiling.

“Then, what will happen to our great force in East Dragon Island? Also, I want to hear what kind of generous reward you have to give.”

“East Dragon Island? Naturally, our Heavenly Firmaments Palace will take it in. The decision to unite the entire world of cultivation cannot be changed. As for the reward, each of you will be given an Immortal artifact.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

Chen Feng could not stop himself from bursting into laughter. But before the sound of his laughter could spread out, Chen Feng had disappeared. The very instant he moved, two mid-grade Dao artifacts inside his body – the Poison Needle and Mountainous Guardbreaker Lance – blew up simultaneously. Like two erupting volcanoes, they provided Chen Feng with a formidable and violent power.

Chen Feng’s target of attack was Heavenly Premier Purple Glory, who was hovering beside Heavenly Premier Ninelink. When compared to the cultivators from the Immortal Plane and Boltfiend Clan, the Ascendant Immortals from Heavenly Firmaments Palace were weaker.

Even though his opponents had received the support of a Divine artifact, Chen Feng was confident that he could still kill off a cultivator at Heavenly Premier Purple Glory’s level. Unfortunately, his target was not alone. And even though Chen Feng was already deploying the Longevity Wings, something that could practically defy space, his opponents managed to stop him.

Two cultivators from the Boltfiend Clan had taken action at the same time and lightning radiance suddenly burst out to form a giant lightning net, which moved forward to wrap up Chen Feng.

“Quite the fast reaction.” Chen Feng revealed a derisive grin and his eye technique activated. Finding a weak point, he abruptly sped forward.

Bang!

Chen Feng broke through the lightning net. By then, Heavenly Premier Purple Glory had already responded. Not only did he not evade, he instead fired out a swift attack. It was none other than an immortal technique from the Heavenly Immortal Technique.

“Attack!” Bi Qing’s figure flashed forward and he unleashed his sword techniques, which enveloped several opposing cultivators. At the same time, he rapidly linked up to the Celestial Clearblue Plane, hoping to receive its support. As expected, as he was attacking, a stream of power made its way through the depths of space to strengthen him, allowing his cultivation base to rise considerably.

Bi Qing’s face, however, darkened somewhat. This time, he had failed to rise up by one level. It meant that the barriers that their enemies had set up were able to affect his attempt to link up to the Celestial Clearblue Plane.

With my current strength, fighting four of five of them should not be an issue. Only, this is still not looking good. Unexpectedly, not only is the Immortal Plane interfering, even the Boltfiend Clan has chosen to join up with them. Additionally, they also have the support of a Divine artifact. If only the Longevity Tower can display its might. Even though Bi Qing was entangling several of the opposing cultivators there, he still had some spare time to think about other matters.

The Heavenly Premiers Absolute and Eternal did not split up. There were up to eight enemy Ascendant Immortals around them. By relying on their cultivation bases, at the mid-level Ascendant Immortal stage, they were able to endure for some time. Only, there was absolutely no way for them to gain the upper hand.

Amongst them all, Chen Feng was the one facing the greatest pressure there. Due to his identity and the Longevity Tower in his hand, the cultivators from the Boltfiend Clan besieged Chen Feng like madmen. It was such that even the cultivators from the Immortal Plane dared not join in on the attacks.

Although the cultivators from the Immortal Plane also wanted to kill off Chen Feng, they would not have the courage to openly bring out the Longevity Tower after obtaining it. The Immortal Plane had indeed been growing in terms of strength throughout the years, but they still did not have the courage to take on the Celestial Planes. At least, not directly.

The Boltfiend Clan, on the other hand, had lost their Celestial Plane and were infamous as madmen in outer space. Having them kill Chen Feng was for the best.

That said, Heavenly Premier Ninelink’s group did join in. It was unknown just what the two sides had agreed upon beforehand, but the cultivators from the Boltfiend Clan did not appear displeased at them.

“Kid, are you still not going to use the Longevity Tower? The Longevity Wings alone will not help you escape this place!”

“Ha ha ha ha! I also want to see the Divine artifact that had deterred the Myriad Celestial Planes back then! Bring it out!”

“Could it be a replica? I hear that even the replicas of your Longevity Clan had levelled up to the Divine tier. Is that true?”

As the cultivators from the Boltfiend Clan were attacking Chen Feng, they also kept on provoking him.

It was a very comical sight. They were Ascendant Immortals, a good number of them, in fact. The fact that they were ganging up on an Earthen Immortal aside, they were actually continuously provoking the Earthen Immortal. If news of this were to spread out, it would surely shake the various worlds.

“Since you fellows want to die, I will grant you your wish,” Chen Feng said and his palm swished to send the Longevity Tower flying forward. It shot towards one of the cultivators from the Boltfiend Clan.

“Break!”

Seeing Chen Feng bring out the Longevity Tower for real, their faces turned serious. Although they were all provoking Chen Feng earlier, they were no fools. They knew just how powerful the Longevity Tower was. Thus, three cultivators from the Boltfiend Clan joined forces. They planned on holding down the Longevity Tower.
