Chapter 988 Various True Immortals

Translator: podao001

“Don’t worry. We already have a plan in place. I’m just worried that a powerful guy will not come out,” Chen Feng said.

“Humph, as if I am worried. Even if a real True Immortal comes, I will still be able to run away. I am just worried that you will not be able to control the situation without me.”

“Fine, I am wrong. You are the Divine artifact that can deter the Myriad Celestial Planes. Later on, let me see how much of your power you have recovered.”

“That’s more like it.”

“Chen Feng, Heavenly Firmaments Palace has been staying silent all this time. Could it be planning something?” Patriarch Heavenly Sword felt concerned.

“Do not worry. We have already made plans for that. Even if all of Heavenly Firmaments Palace comes, we are not afraid.”

“That’s right. Given the current level of strength our alliance possesses, we no longer need to fear Heavenly Firmaments Palace. Rather, we are stronger.”

That was what they all believed. However, Heavenly Firmaments Palace’s next course of action would leave them all in a flustered state.

Weng!

A golden-coloured stream of energy was pulled out from the depths of the Immortal Plane to quickly fly towards the Longevity Tower. This golden energy stream was composed of tens of thousands of golden-coloured silky threads. The ones at the central part of the stream were thicker and they shone with greater intensity. Those were immortal dao laws that would benefit even Ascendant Immortals.

Even before the golden energy stream entered the Longevity Tower, Chen Feng, who saw that, cried out in shock. This was the Longevity Tower’s greatest harvest yet.

Chen Feng began panting. Rather, the golden energy stream also managed to attract the attention of Bi Qing and Xian Yun. Xian Yun grew even more confident in his speculation.

Just as the golden energy stream was about to fly into the Longevity Tower, however, a great, black-coloured hand emerged from the north. The black hand abruptly grasped and space shook, causing the golden energy stream’s flight trajectory to change.

The Demon Plane’s Demon Emperor! Chen Feng secretly exclaimed. He had assumed that Heavenly Firmaments Palace would only send some Ascendant Immortals to take advantage of the situation. Unexpectedly, the True Immortal on their side would take action.

But that was not all. As the black hand was about to grab the golden energy stream, another massive hand – this one with a monstrous look – emerged from the west. With a grasping motion, it caused the golden energy stream’s flight trajectory to change again.

The Heavenspill Beast! Despite his shock, Chen Feng quickly recollected himself and he began planning how to deal with the situation.

It would appear that the two sides were not in agreement. He would be fishing in troubled waters. Only, before Chen Feng could come up with a good plan, a new challenger arrived. Once again, another great hand emerged. As white as jade, this great hand broke through space as it emerged, causing the golden energy stream’s flight trajectory to change yet again.

It's that fellow from the Poison Plane. This time, Chen Feng was truly feeling tense. Although the cultivator from the Poison Plane had appeared like a normal human, with a fair skin and not a hint of poisonous aura, Chen Feng could clearly remember how he had sucked in all the poison within an area spanning a radius of millions of li by simply opening his mouth.

If one were to say that the cultivators from the Poison Plane did not carry any poison on them, Chen Feng would be the first to say horseshit. Seeing the great hand caused Chen Feng’s eyelids to twitch sharply. This was his territory. Should the poison spread out, how many people would die?

Chen Feng was not the only one. The ones who were most affected – mentally – were the four great Yao Overlords. Seeing the great, white-coloured hand, the four Yao Overlords’ combat power began faltering.

A fourth great hand appeared to compete for the golden energy stream. This one was formed using the power of lightning.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, calmed down. The Longevity Tower did not join the struggle for the immortal dao laws. Tower also did not grow infuriated. An even thicker energy stream – cyan in colour – had entered the Longevity Tower.

“Compared to those immortal dao laws, this essence power is the good stuff. Of course, they’re dreaming if they think they can snatch something away from me.” Tower snickered.

After seeing that, Chen Feng snickered as well. It was true. For Chen Feng, the essence power was more important.

Even so, the struggle between four True Immortals also caused the space there, spanning a radius of half a million kilometres, to shatter. It affected even the Great Heavenstealing Arrays. At any rate, the might of True Immortals was not something that a world like Eternal World could handle.

“Damn it!” Although Chen Feng was already doing his best to manage the great arrays, the interference from the formidable waves of power made it impossible.

The four great hands had begun clashing against one another. While it appeared to be a simplistic collision between the great hands, it could actually destroy a world. Thus, the Great Heavenstealing Arrays began breaking down.

Having received Chen Feng’s secret vocal transmission, all the Ascendant Immortals in East Dragon Island took action. They spread out across the whole place to defend the hundred million plus cultivators in East Dragon Island.

I wonder if any other True Immortals would come out. Humph, just a minor bit of immortal dao laws could lure these True Immortals out. There was a ridiculing expression on Chen Feng’s face.

“Seniors, please take action,” Chen Feng said respectfully.

“It’s time for us to take action,” Bi Qing said, making ready to link up to the Celestial Clearblue Plane.

“Hold up, I’ll do it.” Xian Yun stopped Bi Qing. Next, he stretched his hand and grasped. Nothing spectacular happened, but the golden energy stream that had shattered apart due to the clash between the four great hands reformed before swiftly flying through the air to finally enter the Longevity Tower.

This Xian Yun is truly formidable. As expected of a clone of a Heavenly Immortal. Chen Feng praised.

“Humph! That fellow didn’t act in good will,” Tower said disdainfully.

“Why do you say that?”

“Did you think that he is some good Samaritan? Just now, in addition to the immortal dao laws, a stream of aura came as well. I believe he already suspects me.”

“You mean, he suspects that you are the real Longevity Tower?”

“Most likely.”

“Still, he is Bi Qing’s bosom friend, the life-and-death kind. There should be no issues, right?” Even though Chen Feng said that, he did feel wary. The Longevity Tower was a Divine artifact, after all. True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals aside, even higher-levelled cultivators would fight a bloody battle for it.

“With enough benefits on the line, even brothers would turn on one another. Kid, did you forget how your spiritual root was damaged back then?”

“Yes, the clansmen of the Longevity Clan were the ones who damaged my spiritual root. Heh! How could I ever forget?” An icy killing intent flashed across Chen Feng’s eyes.

“These True Immortals are already very difficult to deal with. If Xian Yun chooses to make a move now, we will be incapable of handling it.”

“Even so, we must still fight. Besides, no matter how powerful he may be, he is just a clone with the power of a True Immortal. Right now, though, we need his strength.”

Xian Yun’s actions attracted the attention of the other four True Immortals. And so, the four great hands attacked Xian Yun at the same time.

“Head to outer space!” Bi Qing shouted.

“Don’t worry.” Xian Yun waved his hand and a cyan ray of light sliced space. Deep wounds appeared on all four great hands and droplets of blood fell down from the great hands. Only, the droplets of blood disappeared before hitting the ground.

Chen Feng’s face flickered as the Blood Mustering Bead appeared in his hand. It was shaking violently and its bloody light vaulted skywards. At the same time, the nine blood wyrms inside it released sky-shaking roars.

“Kid, you’re truly reckless. That’s the blood essence of True Immortals. Are you not afraid of overloading the Blood Mustering Bead?” Tower said before sucking the Blood Mustering Bead into the Longevity Tower. Next, a cyan-grey stream of energy descended to continuously cleanse the Blood Mustering Bead and it gradually calmed down.

Earlier, Chen Feng had utilized the Blood Mustering Bead to collect the blood essence of the True Immortals.

Turning around, Chen Feng then saw that Xian Yun and the four great hands had disappeared. He knew that they must have headed to outer space.

“No matter what, Xian Yun’s actions have helped me here.”

“Not good! There is still someone!”

Another great hand appeared. This great hand was black in colour, formed from Devastation Lightning. It broke through space and moved to catch the Longevity Tower.

“It’s formed using the Heavenly dao’s power.”

The massive black hand grabbed the Longevity Tower. As for Chen Feng, he had already entered the Longevity Tower. And yet, despite the protection of the fortress-like Longevity Tower, a suffocating atmosphere of pressure had still fallen upon Chen Feng.

“The strength of a True Immortal!”

“This guy wants to pull me into the Immortal Plane. As if!” Tower chuckled and utilized the Heavengulping Absorption Technique. Next, streams of power of destruction were stripped out from the great hand before surging into the Longevity Tower.

“Attack!” Bi Qing shouted while slashing out with his sword. Following Bi Qing’s lead, Patriarch Heavenly Sword and tens of Ascendant Immortals rushed forward. They had been waiting all this time to kill a True Immortal.

This great hand was formed by the Heavenly dao. The value of the Heavenly dao laws within it was likely even greater compared to True laws. In the face of such temptation, they had to give it their all. Even Prince Blood Edge had led his blood cultivators forward. Without even waiting for Chen Feng’s command, all of them pounced upon the great hand, wanting a piece of the pie.

“Be careful!” Chen Feng suddenly shouted. The space there had split open once more. This time, an unassuming cultivator descended from the Immortal Plane. He wore white clothes and held in his hand a sword. Taking a few steps, he arrived above East Dragon Island. Although he had yet to take action, Chen Feng, who was inside the Longevity Tower, could sense that this person was very dangerous.

“True Immortal! Another True Immortal!” Realizing the urgency of the situation, Chen Feng rapidly linked up with the Longevity Tower, wanting to unleash its full power.

Despite Chen Feng’s warning, some of the Ascendant Immortals from the East Dragon Island Alliance had still chosen to charge at the cultivator from the Immortal Plane.

“Retreat! Hurry up and retreat!” Chen Feng roared.

But it was too late. The white-clad cultivator emotionlessly raised the sword in his hand and simply swung it once to send a ray of dazzling sword light forward. Like a flood, it engulfed three Ascendant Immortals, leaving not even their bones behind.

Sou!

Chen Feng was unable to hold himself back. His figure flashed to re-appear outside. The great hand grabbing the Longevity Tower was still rapidly shrinking, but it was already not a threat to the Longevity Tower.

Even as Chen Feng was coming out from the Longevity Tower, two more Ascendant Immortals were engulfed by the sword energy. Chen Feng’s eyes turned bloodshot. He had spent a great fortune to nurture those Ascendant Immortals. They would become the strongest powerhouses in the future battle against Heavenly Firmaments Palace. And yet, five of them had disappeared in just the blink of an eye.

Enraged, Chen Feng ignored whether or not he was a match for the cultivator. Wielding the Blood Mustering Bead, he charged. Bloody light and energy streams surged out from the Blood Mustering Bead, vaulting skywards. Accompanying all that were the raging roars of the Poisonous Vileblood Wyrms.

There was, however, another person who was faster than Chen Feng. Bi Qing. A stream of energy had emerged from the depths of space to envelop Bi Qing’s body and his cultivation base soared to the high-level Ascendant Immortal stage.
