“The power of a pseudo-Divine artifact! You’re incredible! To think that you can even extract something like this. However, isn’t one strand too little?” Despite his excitement, Huo Yunlong did not forget to ask for more.
“There’s more to come!”
Chen Feng had only just said that when two more strands of divine-tier power entered the Longevity Tower before they were divided between Bi Qing and Huo Yunlong.
The severity of the pseudo-Divine artifact’s collapse increased. The Longevity Tower had already extracted more than half of its divine-tier power.
Outside, Chen Feng was beginning to falter in the face of True Immortal Thundercloud’s attacks. Even the other five half-step True Immortals were moving forward to besiege Chen Feng. They had found out that Chen Feng was in the process of collecting the pseudo-Divine artifact. No matter what, they would not allow Chen Feng to obtain this pseudo-Divine artifact. It was for that reason that they decided to join forces and attack Chen Feng.
After exchanging blows with them for a moment, Chen Feng found himself incapable of holding on. Next, his figure flashed as he entered the Longevity Tower as well. With that, his opponents would no longer be capable of doing anything to him, no matter how powerful they may be.
The other party – consisting of one True Immortal and five half-step True Immortals – could simply watch as the small mountain before them kept collapsing. And while they wanted to enter the small mountain, they did not have the courage to. The power that Chen Feng had previously displayed inside the small mountain was simply too great.
“I should have considered this. Would he not utilize the power of the Longevity Tower? How careless!” True Immortal Thundercloud felt regretful. After considering it, though, he found himself filled with feelings of unwillingness. Thus, he fired out an attack at the small mountain. After entering the small mountain, however, the attack simply disappeared without a sound. It did not even cause a backlash. Following that, True Immortal Thundercloud sent several more attacks at the small mountain only to obtain the same effect.
Boom!
Finally, the entire mountain collapsed before disappearing, leaving only the Longevity Tower hovering in mid-air.
“The Longevity Tower!” The eyes of all present became inflamed, but none dared to make a move. This Longevity Tower could even devour a pseudo-Divine artifact. Taking action against it was simply suicide.
“What misfortune!”
“Unlucky!”
“To think that I’d encounter this.”
“Let’s just go. They have the Longevity Tower. We’ll be in trouble if they decide to settle the score with us.”
The five half-step True Immortals then left. In the end, only True Immortal Thundercloud was left there. It was unknown just what was on his mind.
“Illusion, are you still not going to come out?” After some time, True Immortal Thundercloud suddenly said.
In the beginning, there was nothing but silence. However, it did not take long before a clump of light emerged from mid-air to assume the shape of a human. It was none other than True Immortal Illusion, who had fled earlier.
“As expected, you are still here.”
“What’s this? To be calling me out at a time like this, do you want to partner up with me?”
“Yes. This is the Longevity Tower, the Divine artifact that is renowned throughout the Myriad Celestial Planes. Getting our hands on it is better than getting a pseudo-Divine artifact.”
“Easier said than done. One careless mistake and we’ll lose our lives.”
“That’s why we need to join forces. We are True Immortals. However, in the Immortal Plane, it is actually not worth much. And the Celestial Planes have even more experts. Let’s take a gamble. If we succeed, we will be getting a Divine artifact. That way, our future path of cultivation will change.”
“But what if we fail?”
“There is a possibility of failure. Why else did I say we’re taking a gamble here?”
“Fine, let’s join forces.”
The two True Immortals quickly came to an agreement. Next, they swiftly fired out attacks at the Longevity Tower, going all out for it. Two waves of power, seemingly capable of annihilating everything, charged towards the Longevity Tower.
In their opinion, in order to suppress and collect the Longevity Tower, they would have to kill Chen Feng and the others. At the same time, they also need to weaken the Longevity Tower as much as they can.
However, things did not go according to plan. The attacks that the two fired out were swiftly absorbed by the Longevity Tower. Given the Longevity Tower’s present level of strength, it was already impervious to attacks from cultivators at their level. Rather, it can even absorb the attacks to make the power its own.
Sou!
A beam of cyan light flashed forward, sword light mixed within it. After that, an attack sent True Immortal Thundercloud flying.
“How?” True Immortal Thundercloud was shocked to the extreme. The cyan light that had shot out from the Longevity Tower was none other than Bi Qing.
This Bi Qing was at the bona fide True Immortal stage. By utilizing the Celestial Clearblue Plane’s secret technique, he was able to send True Immortal Thundercloud flying with a single clash.
“The Longevity Tower is behind this!” True Immortal Illusion said, rushing forward to stop Bi Qing. Getting back up, True Immortal Thundercloud had wanted to attack Bi Qing first only for the Longevity Tower to charge forward and suppress him.
Even though he had yet to make contact, True Immortal Illusion’s face had sunk, sharply. The soul power within his sea of wisdom was beginning to flow away. The Longevity Tower was devouring his soul power!
Back then, the Longevity Tower had locked down True Immortal Illusion’s aura. Thus, upon meeting him again, it began devouring his soul. Damage to the fleshly body can be swiftly healed up. However, damage to the soul would spell trouble.
True Immortal Illusion became fearful and he cried out before fleeing again, disappearing from sight.
And so, True Immortal Thundercloud was the only one left. When he saw True Immortal Illusion fleeing, he grew regretful. He then attempted to flee as well but Bi Qing managed to entangle him.
“Senior, why did you do this? You were too greedy.” Chen Feng emerged, his eyes shining with light to give off a formidable sense of oppression. This was a result of the rise in his soul power.
“Chen Feng!” True Immortal Thundercloud gnashed his teeth. Seeing the smile on Chen Feng’s face, though, brought a chill to his heart. Unbelievably, an Earthen Immortal could give him such a feeling.
Wielding the Longevity Tower, Chen Feng sent it smashing towards True Immortal Thundercloud. Seeing that, alarm bells rang out from True Immortal Thundercloud’s heart, but Bi Qing was entangling him so much that he was incapable of leaving.
Bang!
A booming sound rang out and a mist of blood flew outwards. Then, True Immortal Thundercloud’s upper body flew away, leaving blood-coloured energy waves behind him. As for his lower body, the Longevity Tower had devoured it.
“A pity. He managed to get away.” Chen Feng shook his head, a wry smile on his face.
“He got lucky,” Bi Qing said and his cultivation level changed, falling back to the half-step True Immortal stage. That said, it was still a bit stronger compared to the average half-step True Immortal.
“I am puzzled. Is this True Immortal Thundercloud the one backing Heavenly Firmaments Palace? It doesn’t seem like it,” Chen Feng then said, a puzzled look on his face.
“I’m wondering about that as well. In the beginning, I had assumed that it is True Immortal Thundercloud. Later, when we fought, I sensed that he is likely not the one backing Heavenly Firmaments Palace. Naturally, True Immortal Illusion is also not it.” Bi Qing nodded.
“In other words, there are still others inside this immortal mountain. Or perhaps, they are inside this immortal temple. Still, for them to not appear even after we have collected a pseudo-Divine artifact? This is troubling.”
“It means that what the other party is after is more valuable than this pseudo-Divine artifact.”
“Come! Let’s go find them.”
Huo Yunlong emerged from the Longevity Tower as well. Next, two beams of light suddenly shot out from the Longevity Tower, going into Huo Yunlong and Bi Qing’s bodies respectively.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
Their strength began rising to quickly reach the True Immortal stage.
“This is the power of a True Immortal! Great!” Huo Yunlong felt excited and his eyes swept around as his spirits rose.
“All right, don’t waste anymore time. Hurry up and find the other party,” Chen Feng said.
Two True Immortals and Chen Feng, who utilized the Longevity Tower, began searching around. Thus, three formidable powers began sweeping through the immortal temple and it did not take long before them found something.
“Here!”
“Found it!”
“As expected, a True Immortal!”
The three of them broke through layer after layer of restrictive arrays to enter a secret chamber. The secret chamber was not particularly striking and there was nothing inside. But if it weren’t for the hint of a True Immortal’s aura, which leaked out from it, Chen Feng’s team of three would not have been able to find the restrictive arrays. The restrictive arrays were simply too well hidden. They could even conceal themselves from True Immortals.
“After him!”
The three of them moved quickly, leaving the Immortal Cyancloud Temple and flying through the sky within the Driftcloud Immortal Mountain. The Longevity Tower had already locked down the aura of the other party. They could tell that there was a distance of tens of millions of li between them and the fleeing True Immortal.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
The three of them then entered the Longevity Tower, which began jumping through space. After several flashes, it caught up to the fleeing True Immortal.
The True Immortal was clad in white clothes, a sword in his hand. He cut quite the dashing appearance, not losing his bearing even as he was fleeing.
“This fellow has cultivated the Heavenly Immortal Technique. He is indeed someone from Heavenly Firmaments Palace. Only, he is from the Heavenly Firmaments Palace from the Immortal Plane.”
Seeing the Longevity Tower catching up to him, the True Immortal employed a secret technique and he instantly disappeared. Surprisingly, he had left the Driftcloud Immortal Mountain.
The Longevity Tower was right on his heels and it left the immortal mountain as well. Arriving outside the Driftcloud Immortal Mountain, it then charged straight up into outer space.
The Longevity Tower kept jumping through various points in space. Watching that, Chen Feng found himself becoming bedazzled.
It was unknown just how far away they went from Eternal World as they chased after the True Immortal. In the end, they managed to corner him amidst a large group of asteroids.
“Sir, why leave in such a hurry?” Chen Feng’s team of three had emerged from the Longevity Tower and they circled the True Immortal.
“The Longevity Clan’s Chen Feng, Celestial Clearblue Plane’s Bi Qing and Flame World’s Huo Yunlong. Why are you three chasing me?” A smile appeared on the white-clad cultivator’s face.
“Ha ha ha! You sure know a lot about us. Looks like you have been secretly observing us for quite some time. Even in the face of a pseudo-Divine artifact, you were able to hold back. Sir, you sure can endure,” Chen Feng replied with a smile of his own.
“I am aware that I won’t be able to snatch it from you. So, it would be better not to take action.”
“Is that so?”
“Of course.”
“Very well. We also do not wish to exchange nonsensical words with you. Hand over the items on you.”
“What items?”
“Naturally, the items you found inside the immortal temple.”
“I do not know what you’re talking about.”
“Attack!”
Chen Feng’s team of three attacked at the same time. The words exchanged earlier was only meant to lull the other party. Naturally, the other party was also trying to lull Chen Feng’s team.
The instant Chen Feng’s team attacked, the True Immortal’s figure swayed and disappeared.
“An evasion technique! Will you be able to escape?” Seeing the other party attempting to flee, Chen Feng’s team did not feel worried. Instead, they sent out their divine senses to swiftly locate the True Immortal somewhere within the group of asteroids. They quickly caught up to him and Bi Qing rushed forward to fight him.
