Chapter 1089 Father’s Assist

Translator: podao001

Chen Feng had never seen Tower in such a miserable situation before. The opponent’s attacks were simply too strong. Only now did Chen Feng realize that he had made a mistake. Each of the Heavenly pillars actually contained four Heavenly laws. That meant a total of 48 Heavenly laws. A prison forged using that many Heavenly laws could imprison even a Heavenly Immortal to their death.

Additionally, the hand grabbing the Longevity Tower had turned golden in colour as well. The other party was aware of what the Longevity Tower could do. Thus, they did not utilize the secret techniques of the Longevity Clan.

The Longevity Tower began shaking. It would appear that the hand would be able to take away the Longevity Tower at any moment. On Chen Feng’s side, he continued refining the True laws.

“Tower, how are you holding up?” Chen Feng asked, a note of urgency in his voice.

“It’s not looking good. I will not be able to hold on for much longer.” There was a somewhat grim expression on Tower’s face.

“I’ll help out!” Chen Feng jumped out from the Longevity Tower to swiftly fire out a punch, causing the chains tying up the Longevity Tower the shake. Following that, both of Chen Feng’s hands swiped and popping sounds rang out as countless chains were ripped apart by Chen Feng’s move.

“Heavenly laws? They are only so-so.” Chen Feng radiated an aura of valour and his figure moved without respite while his hands kept swinging. After several breaths’ worth of time, all the chains tying up the Longevity Tower had been ripped apart.

Before undergoing his tribulation, the Heavenly laws there would have been capable of restraining Chen Feng. But now that Chen Feng had overcome two Heavenly Tribulations to reach the True Immortal stage, he had become at least a hundred times stronger than before.

From another perspective, Chen Feng’s level of strength was already approaching that of the Longevity Tower’s level.

If the other party had chosen to attack me right from the beginning, they might actually succeed. But now that I have advanced to the True Immortal stage, even a half-step Heavenly Immortal will die to me. Chen Feng fired out a punch at the massive golden hand.

The Longevity Tower made use of the opportunity to release a booming sound and the golden hand that had been tussling with the Longevity Tower abruptly burst apart. After that, its fragments transformed into a stream of golden light, which attempted to flee.

“You think you can flee?” Chen Feng grasped and the stream of golden light swiftly contorted. In the end, it was compressed and flew into Chen Feng’s palm.

So, it is the altered form of a Heavenly law. Does the hidden party not have the guts to reveal themselves? If that is the case, we’ll run away first.

The Longevity Tower swiftly shrank before flying into Chen Feng’s hand. Next, Chen Feng dashed towards one of the Heavenly pillars.

“Kid, you are being too impatient,” Tower said.

“I wanted to spend some time stabilizing my cultivation base, but it looks like you are in a tough spot,” Chen Feng said, chuckling.

“Humph, as if I would need your help. I have plenty other techniques that I have yet to reveal.” Tower became displeased.

“Is that so? In that case, you’ll have to put in more effort for this next crisis.” The smile on Chen Feng’s face disappeared.

Thanks to the increase in his cultivation base, Chen Feng could finally sense a faint feeling of danger. It was very strong. Should this danger descend, Chen Feng had no confidence in his ability to stop it.

Likewise, his advance to the True Immortal stage also brought about a transformation to the Longevity Wings. Runes completely covered the wings while river-like streams of light flowed across them. Every flap of the wings would cause multi-coloured light to flash out.

Before advancing to the True Immortal stage, Chen Feng would have no confidence in his ability to reach the Heavenly pillar. At that very moment, however, his gaze pierced through space and the Longevity Wings flapped to – within but a few breaths’ worth of time – bring him before one of the Heavenly pillars. A punch struck the Heavenly pillar and the runes and restrictive arrays on the surface of the pillar burst apart, causing four wyrms to emerge from it.

The Longevity Tower then released a suction force to absorb the four wyrm-shaped Heavenly laws.

Boom!

The Heavenly pillar was thus shattered by Chen Feng and an opening appeared on the Grand Array of Chaos Heaven.

This was something unexpected for Chen Feng. The increase in his strength had exceeded his expectations

Only, just as Chen Feng was about to exit the magic array, a great hand appeared before him. Energy fluctuations spread out from the hand, causing space-time to spin. A feeling of helplessness surged into Chen Feng’s mind. He knew then that the greatest danger here had descended.

There are levels of strength for Heavenly laws. This is clearly the aura of a high-level Heavenly Immortal. There is no way to fight back. Even if the Longevity Tower manages to open up the sixth floor, it would be incapable of fighting this person! Forget fighting back, even Chen Feng’s ability to think was on the verge of freezing up.

The Longevity Tower’s power kept surging into Chen Feng’s body to stop his soul from becoming lost.

“The Longevity Tower. It is actually here. To think that it has already recovered to this degree.” A loud voice rang out, nearly extinguishing the Longevity Flame in Chen Feng’s sea of wisdom.

No response. Tower was giving it his all, but it was useless. He was simply incapable of breaking free from the hand’s grasp.

This hand was different from the previous one. This one was cyan in colour and it exuded faint emanations of life. This was clearly something formed using the offensive-type secret techniques of the Longevity Clan.

“Longevity Tower, stop resisting. There is no future in following this kid. Come with me. I can let you swiftly recover to your prime. You’ll be able to regain the power that was once yours.”

“Shameless braggart! Who do you think you are? You dare talk shit in front of me?!”

“Longevity Tower, you need to look at your current situation clearly. At present, you are no longer as strong as you used to be. You are not even a Divine artifact. If I have to forcibly take you, I will indeed have to pay a price. However, refining you is still not an issue for me.”

“Is that so? Then, let’s put that to the test!”

A faint-cyan, inconspicuous-looking stream of light shot out from the Longevity Tower to pierce the great hand, creating a small see-through hole on it.

Next, the Longevity Tower moved, wanting to make use of this opportunity to charge out.

“Eh! So, you have a strand of your old powers remaining, but I have long since prepared for this. You will not be escaping.”

A golden beam of light flew into the cyan hand and the hole on the hand immediately healed up. At the same time, it grew even bigger and more solid. Following that, it easily caught Chen Feng and the Longevity Tower.

“Ageless law! A cultivator at this level has finally chosen to take part in this.” Tower sighed. He stopped fighting back. Instead, he channelled a portion of his power to protect Chen Feng.

“Tower, that’s an Ageless law! A Gold Immortal is taking action!” Chen Feng’s mind was finally able to function slightly.

“Not a Gold Immortal, a half-step Gold Immortal. However, there is no need to worry. This is not the end,” Tower comforted Chen Feng.

“Of course it won’t be the end. Even you can’t handle this. Who will appear next? My old man?” Chen Feng felt his mind becoming increasingly clear.

“A half-step Gold Immortal is taking action. Could it be my cousin?”

Just as the great hand was about to take the Longevity Tower away, a beam of light shot out from Chen Feng’s glabella and a middle-aged man in cyan clothes and long, fluttering hair walked out.

Although all Chen Feng could see was the middle-aged man’s back, tears began trickling down uncontrollably from his eyes.

Tower, on the other hand, merely snickered, not saying a word.

Sporting a lean and strong body, the middle-aged man possessed a firm and handsome face, with a pair of eyes that shone like the stars. After appearing, he reached out and grasped and a stream of golden light flew into his hand. Next, the cyan hand collapsed and a horrified cry rang out from the depths of space.

“You attacked a member of your own clan. Abolishing a million years’ worth of your cultivation base is just a minor punishment.”

The middle-aged man grasped again and another wretched cry rang out from space. Following that, a clump of cyan energy flew into the middle-aged man’s hand.

The middle-aged man then flicked his fingers and the cultivators who were lurking around the magic array burst apart, becoming a mist of blood. In the end, both the clump of cyan energy and blood energy flowed into Chen Feng’s body.

“The clump of cyan energy contains a million years’ worth of cultivation from a half-step Gold Immortal while the blood essence is enough to push your Blood Mustering Bead to the Divine tier,” the middle-aged man said as he turned around. There was a smile on his face and a loving expression could be seen in his eyes.

Tears filled Chen Feng’s face. He could not find any words. At that very moment, the firm will that he had spent all those years cultivating collapsed.

“Good, good, good!”

The middle-aged man cast a profound look at Chen Feng and Chen Feng immediately felt the surrounding space becoming still. And yet, countless memories ended up gushing out from his sea of wisdom.

“By taking action here, the imprint that I left inside your sea of wisdom will dissipate away. However, there is still a bit of power left there. It might be able to help you out one more time.

“My son, during the war, I failed to protect you. I have always blamed myself for that. But seeing you make your way to this point pleases me greatly.”

“Father!”

Chen Feng finally shouted out and he struggled, wanting to rush forward. Only, the middle-aged man’s body was beginning to turn faint and motes of golden light began floating out from his body.

“When we meet again, I hope that you will not let me down.”

Golden light burst outwards and the middle-aged man disappeared from sight. As for Chen Feng, he felt his whole body going limp. It felt as though all of his strength had been drained away from his body.

Tower sighed. Waving his hand, he brought Chen Feng into the Longevity Tower.

“This brat. Not only did he manage to get out of the crisis, he even managed to obtain a great harvest. A pity, that life-saving card can only be used one more time,” Tower said with a regretful tone.

Chen Feng was seated on the floor and there was no way to tell what was on his mind. Tower, though, did not interrupt his ruminations. Instead, he collected the other 11 Heavenly pillars. Every one of the Heavenly pillars contained four Heavenly laws. It was no wonder Tower would say that this was a great harvest.

Chen Feng spent several days in silence. Finally, Tower was unable to endure anymore and he spoke up.

“Oi! Kid, have you calmed down? That’s enough time spent on that. It’s not as though you cannot meet him again. Right now, what you need to do the most is to cultivate and improve your strength. Once you are strong enough, you will be able to do whatever you want.”

Chen Feng opened his eyes, a tangled look on his face. However, flames then burst forth within his eyes as he recollected himself.

“Yes. Once I am strong enough, I can carve my way back. If there is vengeance, I will exact vengeance. Only, I wonder how my father is doing right now. He was badly wounded back then.” After saying that, Chen Feng grew worried again.

"That kid is very strong. There is nothing to worry about. The one who was most badly damaged from the war back then is me. Kid, I am hoping that you can succeed in your cultivation. Now, get your head up straight! You are still incapable of absorbing the power of the half-step Gold Immortal. For now, go refine the True laws and Heavenly laws first and perfect your grand dao of longevity. That will be your foundation,” Tower said solemnly.

“I understand that. However, we should find a safe place first.” Chen Feng then kept the Longevity Tower and stepped forward, covering a lengthy distance in an instant.

Although the Longevity Tower appeared undamaged from the previous battle, it had in fact exhausted a great deal of its power. Seeing the huge increase in Chen Feng’s strength, Tower grew at ease and fell asleep once more.
