Chapter 1150 Mid-grade Divine Artifact

Translator: podao001

Surface wise, Heavenly Immortal Longevity Brightness was bellowing non-stop. However, he was already thoroughly regretting it. If only he had known, would he be so against Young Master Longevity Celestial? He could only blame all of this on his feelings of jealousy.

Thinking about it, he could already be considered as a cultivation genius. In but a million years, he managed to cultivate up to the high-level Heavenly Immortal stage. By putting in some more effort, he would be able to advance to the half-step Gold Immortal stage, achieving the Ageless law. He would truly become an undying existence. And yet, when he thought back to the order he received, to submit to Young Master Longevity Celestial, he grew displeased. And so, feelings of jealousy began gnawing at his heart.

Longevity Brightness was very aware of Chen Feng’s situation. That was also why he could not bear it. He was a little fellow who had gone missing for a million years with a cultivation level that was far inferior to him. How could someone like this be his superior? Just because he was of more noble birth than him?

Thus, when Longevity Brightness first saw Chen Feng, killing intent began brewing within him. However, he also knew that it was not that simple.

Kill Longevity Celestial and snatch over both the Longevity Tower and Longevity Scripture. Then, his status and position would rise greatly. So long as he can obtain the Longevity Tower’s recognition, he would not be punished by the Longevity Clan. Or at the very least, it would not be a death sentence. A dead genius was no genius. All of it would be worth it.

That was particularly so when he discovered this tomb of divine dragons at the half-step Gold Immortal stage. By obtaining the treasures inside, he could improve his own strength. Then, he can think of a way to deal with Longevity Celestial.

However, there was a big difference between his plan and the way the situation developed. After he was captured, he suddenly realized how laughable his thoughts were. Observing the strength that Longevity Celestial displayed and the existence of Tun Ri and the others, he knew then that he would be incapable of defeating them.

“Is this your way of begging for mercy?” Chen Feng stretched his palm forward and a vortex appeared there. Instantly, Longevity Brightness felt much of his power flowing away.

“The Heavengulping Absorption Technique is indeed still the most effective technique against cultivators from the Longevity Clan. Additionally, it also allows for perfect devouring and fusion with the power. Very good.” As Chen Feng was devouring Longevity Brightness’ strength, he felt the power within him grow. He could not stop himself from smiling.

Witnessing this move from Chen Feng, the eyes of all present revealed looks of envy and fear. That was especially true for Tun Ri, who felt extremely envious. His original form was that of a divine dragon, one gifted with the power to devour. Only, because he did not possess the genes of the Longevity Clan, he could not cultivate the techniques of the Longevity Scripture. Despite having stayed in the Celestial Longevity Plane for so long, despite having undergone some physical transformations and a series of methods, he was only able to cultivate a smidge of the techniques. But that smidge allowed his innate gift to devour to grow stronger.

“I do not believe that you would dare kill me! My branch also has a Family Patriarch!” Despite his feelings of dread, Longevity Brightness continued shouting.

“The fact that you have the name Longevity Brightness shows that you are a genius. If allowed to live, you might really be able to reach the Gold Immortal stage. Your future would be immeasurably bright. However, meeting me here now is just bad luck on your part. You decided to go against me all on your own, proving just how stupid you are. You bring up a Gold Immortal to scare me? Do you know how many Gold Immortals my branch has?” Chen Feng continued devouring his power, neither too quickly nor too leisurely. This rate of devouring caused even more dread to grip Longevity Brightness’ heart.

Hearing that, Longevity Brightness stopped shouting. He knew then that he was a goner. Although his branch did possess some strength, it was nothing in the face of a colossal existence like the Boundless Corps.

And yet, there was no one who would willingly accept death. Longevity Brightness began begging for mercy. He even began offering Chen Feng various items and wealth, but Chen Feng remained unmoved.

“Do you still not understand? Even if you don’t attack me, based on what you did, I would still take action against you. If anyone can come out and think so little of me, how am I to rule over the entire Celestial Longevity Plane in the future?” Chen Feng said with a chuckle.

“You want to rule over the entire Celestial Longevity Plane? Dream on! Even after 10 billion years, it will still be impossible!” Longevity Brightness replied with a scoff.

“Unfortunately, you will not be there to see it.” Chen Feng then sped up the rate at which he was devouring Longevity Brightness’ power.

His fingers hooked and one Heavenly law after another was extracted. Finally, Longevity Brightness began crying out in pain. The pain from having Heavenly laws extracted from one’s body was far more excruciating compared to the pain of having the bones extracted out from one’s body. Additionally, this was his own essence. With the loss of his essence laws, even if someone were to rescue him, he would have a very hard time recovering his strength.

Chen Feng’s fingers kept hooking and one Heavenly law after another kept flowing out. In the end, Longevity Brightness fell limply to the ground, incapable of even making a sound.

“You’ve refined a total of 49 Heavenly laws. You are indeed a genius.” The 49 Heavenly laws swirled within Chen Feng’s palm, every single one of them containing great power.

“Tsk, tsk. You cultivated the Grand Radiance Codex. That’s why your power of light is so strong. It is almost stronger than your longevity power.” Chen Feng shook his head and his palm came to a halt. Next, Longevity Brightness’ body blew up. A mote of golden light flew out from his sea of wisdom and disappeared with a flash.

“As expected, there is an imprint from a Gold Immortal protecting him. However, it did not come out. Did it sense danger from me?” Chen Feng snickered.

“It is actually an imprint left behind by a Gold Immortal!” Da Feng and the others were shocked.

“Thankfully, the other party chose not to take action.” Some of them felt fear lingering in their hearts.

“Humph! It must be Longevity Brightness’ Family Patriarch. However, he just stood by and watched as Longevity Brightness had his power devoured in the end. Though, I wonder if the other party collected a strand of Longevity Brightness’ divine sense. If they did, Longevity Brightness can be revived.”

“I can kill him once, I can kill him again. However, Longevity Brightness’ life imprint had utterly broken apart. Even a Gold Immortal would have to pay a price to revive him. I wonder, would the other party be willing to do that?”

“Fellows, the matter has been resolved. It is time we go look for treasures,” Chen Feng said. Next, the 49 Heavenly laws in his hand abruptly flew out to swirl around. Two cultivators who had been hiding in the dark were thus killed and the laws finally flew back into Chen Feng’s body, disappearing from sight.

“Chen Feng?! How did you enter?” A group of cultivators flew over from the distance and one of them recognized Chen Feng. It was none other than Sword Premier Demolisher’s group.

“Given how big of a commotion this has caused, I fear even the whole of the Easternmost Region has been aroused,” Chen Feng said with a smile.

“You left us on the battlefield and have us fight against the enemies while you heir disciples came here to search for treasures. Tsk, tsk. No wonder the Six Daos Sword Faction would keep on declining. The way I see it, defeat is just a matter of time,” Chen Feng shot out ridiculing words.

In the beginning, Sword Premier Demolisher had wanted to accuse Chen Feng of wrongdoing. But those words struck them at the right spots and they were unable to say anything.

“We loose cultivators account for one quarter of the sect’s combat power for this war. If all the loose cultivators were to pull out, what will happen?”

“Can you represent all the loose cultivators?” One of them, Sword Premier Abyss, said coldly.

“I can only represent myself. That’s why I came here. In this war, you fellows will lose for certain. Even this competition for the treasures of the divine dragons will end with your loss. In your shoes, I will think of a way to recruit me and get on my good side, not be hostile towards me.” Chen Feng’s face instantly turned frosty.

“Recruit? Get on your good side? Who do you think you are? A half-step Gold Immortal? You are just a minor, nameless True Immortal!” The Heavenly Immortals grew enraged at Chen Feng’s attitude.

“I am indeed a True Immortal, but I possess the power to destroy you fellows.” After saying that, Chen Feng waved his hand. Tun Ri and the others, who had long since grown impatient, instantly unleashed a formidable display of power. Tun Ri and Tian Wu assumed their original forms and smashed forward, sending the cultivators from Sword Premier Demolisher’s group tumbling around. Some were killed on the sly.

“Fellows, I’ll be going ahead first. If you want to die, you are free to come after me.” Chen Feng’s voice then echoed around as he flew far away.

He was not alone. Thanks to the arrival of Tun Ri and the others, the domineering streak within him that he had kept hidden all this time was released.

“Despicable! Let’s chase him!” Sword Premier Abyss was so enraged, his body practically burst into flames.

“Forget it. Chen Feng is not someone we can provoke. If I am not mistaken, the ones behind him are probably from the Celestial Longevity Plane,” Sword Premier Demolisher said, an entangled expression on his face.

“We have half-step Gold Immortals on our side. Just one is enough to kill them all off!” Sword Premier Golden Light said as well.

“Enough. We are in a state of chaos right now. We should not casually provoke strong enemies. Due to the leak, a high number of cultivators has come. Even though the guardian dragons managed to finish off a good number of outsiders, many had still managed to break in. Now is not the time to get bogged down with other affairs. Locating the treasures is the most important matter here,” Sword Premier Demolisher said calmly.

“Sword Premier Demolisher’s words are reasonable. Guys, earlier, I sensed some people charging over from the front. Judging by their auras, I believe they are cultivators from Immortal Sword Sect.”

“Let’s go! We’ll kill them off!”

...

“Young Master, I sense energy waves from a Divine artifact from up ahead. There is also the power of Ageless laws!” As they were advancing, Da Feng suddenly spoke up.

“I sense it too. Could it be the tomb of Gold Immortals? If that is true, this will be quite tough.” Chen Feng nodded.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

Somewhere far away, a scarlet-red light was radiating outwards. The radiance would pierce its way down to the Nine Abyss and all the way up to stir the stars. The formidable power it emanated roused the attention of the entire Graveyard of Divine Dragons. Even after utilizing his Divine Eyes of Heavenly Insight, Chen Feng was only barely able to see the silhouette of a spear amidst the light.

“Divine artifact! Mid-grade!” Chen Feng’s eye widened and his rate of breathing grew somewhat ragged.

To think that it would be a mid-grade Divine artifact! This is a magic treasure nourished by a Gold Immortal. A pity, there is no telling when Tower can return. Chen Feng began recovering from his feelings of shock and calmed down.

“Let’s go!”

Regardless, Chen Feng and the others promptly sped up, flying towards the source of the light. In the face of the light, almost every cultivator there chose to discard what they were doing.

A mid-grade Divine artifact!

This was a legendary existence. Even if beholding its appearance was all they could do, it would still be worth it.

“Young Master, it looks like the spear made from the bones of dragons, War Butcher!” Heavenly Immortal Brightmoon suddenly exclaimed.

“War Butcher!”

Chen Feng frowned and the distant memories hidden within his sea of wisdom began moving. Swiftly, the image and introduction for a spear surged to his mind.

“It is somewhat similar.” Chen Feng nodded.

“Young Master, the spear itself is not an issue. Given our strength, we are more than capable of taking it. However, those half-step Gold Immortals will be problematic,” Da Feng said after a moment’s consideration.

“Half-step Gold Immortals. This will indeed be very problematic. It would be worse if Gold Immortals are lured over. Look, the ones who managed to arrive first are all experts.” Chen Feng pointed and they all saw a cultivator hastily charging into the source of the light, like a moth to a flame.
