Chapter 977 Charging Out from the Pocket Dimension

Translator: podao001

Chen Feng decided to not use his sword techniques against the monstrous hand’s attack. Instead, he punched the monstrous hand coming at him.

“This friend of yours is quite strong, but is he also quite reckless,” one of Liu Wuxiang’s friend said.

“Enough, focus on finding the array core!”

Boom!

The fist blast that Chen Feng fired out struck the monstrous hand and stacks of power assailed the monstrous hand. However, all of them were like waves striking a cliff, failing to even move it.

Chen Feng then backed away, but the monstrous hand was already about to grab him.

Impressive! This move contains the power of laws.

With a thought from Chen Feng, the Divine Malla Vine flew forward to rapidly tie up the monstrous hand. Meanwhile, the Dragon Tiger Seal flew up once more to collide against the other monstrous hand.

As for Chen Feng himself, he brandished the Steel Enigma Sword to stop several combat puppets who were charging at him.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

The monstrous hand struggled to break free and popping sounds rang out from the Divine Malla Vine. It would appear that the vine would only be able to stop it for a short time. Chen Feng was thus held back. He could no longer spare the time to find more array cores.

“Chen Feng, focus on the fight! Leave the matter of the array core to us!” Liu Wuxiang’s voice made it to Chen Feng.

By then, Chen Feng no longer had to time to even answer. The monstrous hand that the Divine Malla Vine was tying up had broken free while the other monstrous hand had already knocked the Dragon Tiger Seal aside.

However, that was not all. The ground split and a third monstrous hand appeared. Additionally, there were also 10 Ascendant Immortal stage combat puppets coming at Chen Feng. Seeing this display of power, Chen Feng felt his hairs standing on end.

The Longevity Wings unfurled from Chen Feng’s back and his speed rose rapidly. The sword light that he was brandishing transformed into silky threads, hacking apart four combat puppets. Even the new monstrous hand had one of its claws cut.

Quickly, though, several more combat puppets appeared. At the same time, two of the monstrous hands came forward, one from the left and one from the right. They locked down on Chen Feng’s position and exerted an atmosphere of oppression.

I am already using the Longevity Wings here. You want to lock down my aura? It won’t be easy. Chen Feng’s speed was beyond lightning-fast. It was so fast that he became like lines flashing across space and one combat puppet after another was cut down.

For Chen Feng, the combat puppets were not that dangerous. It was the three monstrous hands that were somewhat peculiar.

The one with the severed claw had already regrown its severed part and the three monstrous hands fired out streams of energy at Chen Feng, causing strong winds to blow. Piercing their way through space, the power displayed by every one of the energy streams was comparable to that of an immortal sword. Moreover, they moved very quickly. As the amount of space was somewhat limited, Chen Feng had to carefully deal with them.

Facing this attack, Chen Feng utilized his sword techniques, giving a ferocious display of majesty as he did. The Longevity Wings flapped and his figure charged forward while his sword swung about to shatter all the incoming attacks.

However, this left Chen Feng in a somewhat passive state.

Shua!

A fourth monstrous hand appeared from the ground to grab Chen Feng. In response, Chen Feng sneered and threw a punch at it.

Several energy streams arrived before Chen Feng. As they were about to pierce Chen Feng’s body, the Divine Malla Vine moved to swirl around Chen Feng and more vines spread out profusely from it.

Struck by the energy streams, the vines fragmented apart. As for Chen Feng, despite having promptly utilized the Divine Malla Vine, two of the energy streams managed to make it through, leaving two bloody marks on his body.

At the same time, the monstrous hand that was right in front of Chen Feng grasped, successfully catching the Divine Malla Vine. Just as it was about to rip the vine apart, the Divine Malla Vine became like an agile snake to swiftly wrap itself around the monstrous hand again. It also grew out more vines with spikes. The spikes pierced the monstrous hand and released a corrosive energy capable of eroding practically everything,

Sou! Sou!

Immediately after that, two more combat puppets charged towards Chen Feng, lances in hand. The two of them were taking up suicidal roles to give time for the other two monstrous hands to prepare for their killer moves.

“Have you found the array core?” Chen Feng shouted.

No answer came from Liu Wuxiang and Chen Feng was besieged yet again. Two energy streams left two more bloody wounds on Chen Feng’s body.

That was only thanks to Chen Feng’s formidable fleshly body. Even an Ascendant Immortal would have had his or her body pierced through by the attacks. That said, it was still an unbearable experience. The attacks contained some poison and Chen Feng had to mobilize the longevity-type primary energy to refine the poison.

Finally, the two monstrous hands finished preparing their killer moves. One of them flew towards Chen Feng, its five fingers spread open to send energy streams forward. In just the blink of an eye, they had formed a hurricane. This was no ordinary hurricane. In the face of this hurricane, even Chen Feng found it hard to stand steadily. Furthermore, as he was thinking of evading, he felt his surrounding space becoming sealed. Due to that, he could not evade. Most importantly, the approaching hurricane was becoming increasingly violent. Chen Feng was infuriated to find that some of the combat puppets that was fighting him were not affected by the hurricane.

But that was not all. The other monstrous hand formed a fist and smashed down on Chen Feng.

Boom!

Despite mobilizing all his strength to block this punch, the resulting impact had still left Chen Feng with a bout of dizziness. His figure hurtled backwards, smashing apart two combat puppets as he did.

“Cough! Cough!”

Chen Feng’s face turned flushed before turning pale and he nearly vomited blood. Even though he managed to hold it in, his rate of breathing had fallen into a somewhat chaotic state. Even the Longevity Wings were affected.

“He’s still alright?” Liu Wuxiang’s team of four were truly shocked to notice that. They had experienced for themselves how formidable those monstrous hands were. Back then, the monstrous hands had been the ones to catch and throw them into the great array.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

A series of booming sounds rang out and the monstrous hand broke free from the Divine Malla Vine again. The Divine Malla Vine, broken into several pieces, transformed into a stream of light before flowing into Chen Feng’s body. Although the Divine Malla Vine was capable of reforming itself even after it was broken into pieces, the monstrous hand’s actions of breaking it several times in a row had still damaged its essence somewhat. While such wood-type magic treasures possessed a monstrous power of life, it was harder for them to recover from serious injuries.

Boom!

The monstrous hand assuming a fist shot towards Chen Feng again. Once again, Chen Feng found himself incapable of evading.

“Great Longevity Palm!”

Chen Feng unleashed a massive palm silhouette, only for it to shatter it apart. At the same time, the other two monstrous hands also moved to grab Chen Feng.

“Blood Mustering Bead, come!”

Facing this formidable pressure, Chen Feng brought out another magic treasure. Upon its emergence, the Blood Mustering Bead radiated bloody light, which enveloped the three monstrous hands. As a result, the blood streams within the monstrous hands roiled. Blood began spraying out from the parts that were wounded earlier.

Although it hadn’t been all that long since the Blood Mustering Bead advanced to the Immortal tier, it had devoured the blood essence of several Ascendant Immortals. Due to that, its power was already very close to the mid-grade Immortal tier. It was very effective in dealing with objects with flesh and blood.

That said, the Blood Mustering Bead was only able to halt the monstrous hands for a moment. Of course, that moment was enough for Chen Feng.

“Longevity Dimension!”

Streams of light flew out from Chen Feng’s fingers to form a dimension, which instantly confined all the monstrous hands.

“Longevity Sealing Technique!”

A massive ‘seal’ character flew out to land on the surface of the dimension before disappearing without a trace and the movements of the monstrous hands that were violently struggling against the dimension became slower.

“Huh!”

Chen Feng released a lengthy breath. Those two moves had consumed a great deal of his power. Only, the monstrous hands were very strong and he would likely be incapable of sealing them up for long.

“We’ve found the array core! It’s here! Brother Chen, hurry!” Liu Wuxiang’s team finally found the array core.

“Coming!” Chen Feng swiftly flew over, the Steel Enigma Sword in his hand transforming into a beam of golden light to attack the great array.

Boom! Boom!

The first booming sound was due to Chen Feng breaking the array core. The second booming sound was due to the actions of Liu Wuxiang’s team, who charged out from the great array.

“Ha ha ha! Thank you, Brother Chen!”

“All right, let’s leave this place first,” Chen Feng hastily said. Cracks had begun spreading across the sealing dimension that he created.

“Yes, let’s get out of here first!” Liu Wuxiang said, swinging his hand to fire out a pitch-black hole and a combat puppet that was charging towards them was instantly devoured into the hole, disappearing from sight.

“Brother Liu, you have made great progress in your cultivation,” Chen Feng praised it.

“Ha ha ha! I am no match for you. You can even use the Longevity Sealing Technique to such an extent.” Despite saying that, there was still a slight look of pride on Liu Wuxiang’s face.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three booming sounds rang out repeatedly as three more monstrous hands appeared from the ground. One of them swiftly swiped to shatter apart the sealing dimension. As for the other two, they rapidly flew towards Chen Feng and the others, desirous of grabbing them.

“Hurry, don’t let them catch us again!”

Liu Wuxiang and the other three cultivators with him brought out an Immortal artifact respectively to display a great combat power, shocking even Chen Feng. Seeing that, Chen Feng wondered how such formidable characters would end up getting trapped here. Still, this was not the time to be thinking about that. The ground was continuously bursting upwards as even more monstrous hands appeared.

When he saw that, Chen Feng was left with no time to even feel worried. Just two to three monstrous hands had been so difficult to handle back then. At that very moment, however, a high number of them had appeared. There was no need to wonder what kind of ending they would face by taking on these monstrous hands.

That said, what they wanted to do at the moment was to flee and not take on the monstrous hands. The five of them displayed various moves, going all out for this. In the end, they managed to punch a way forward. Light shone and the five of them appeared outside the pocket dimension.

Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, a gigantic hand the size of a small mountain emerged from the pocket dimension, leaving watery ripples in the space wherever it went.

“I was mistaken! It’s not an Ascendant Immortal. These are the energy fluctuations from a True Immortal!” Chen Feng shouted. Waving his hand, the Heaven Piercing Lance appeared in his hand. A True law quickly flowed across the surface of the lance to finally gather upon the tip of the lance.

“Hurry, back away!” Brandishing the Heaven Piercing Lance, Chen Feng then stabbed the gigantic hand with it.

“True law! Let’s go!” Although shocked by this move from Chen Feng, Liu Wuxiang’s team knew that this was not the time to hesitate. Their figures flashed and they fled as fast as they could.

After Liu Wuxiang’s team had flown across a distance of over 5,000 kilometres, they saw a stream of light flying past them. Like a meteor, it smashed into the ground. Next, raging winds rushed forth from behind them, followed by a sky-shaking boom.

“It’s Chen Feng!” Liu Wuxiang’s face sank and he quickly charged down to the ground. Before he could reach the ground, however, Chen Feng had already burst out from the crater, the Heaven Piercing Lance in hand.

“A pity, a True law was damaged.” Regarding the cracks on the Heaven Piercing Lance in his hand, Chen Feng shook his head. Damaged Immortal artifacts could be repaired, but repairing True laws was something that the present Chen Feng simply could not do.
