Immediately, though, all of Chen Feng’s attacks disappeared. Demon Monarch Wickedness stood there with the Wicked Sceptre in his hand, unscathed. At the top part of the sceptre, remnant energy waves could be seen fluctuating about.

“Water is the counter to fire. But if there is not enough water, it can be easily evaporated. Do you not understand that? In the face of absolute power, these tricks of yours are useless.” After saying that, Demon Monarch Wickedness swung his sceptre and a stream of wicked energy surged forward to form a massive feral beast, which then pounced towards Chen Feng.

“My moves are not good enough? Then, let me witness the moves of you Gold Immortals!” Chen Feng laughed and his will to fight suddenly surged upwards, reaching a zenith. Wielding a battle lance, he fought the feral beast.

Bang!

The feral beast was sent flying and Chen Feng swung to fire out the battle lance, which shot towards Demon Monarch Wickedness.

“The Wicked Sceptre is a mid-grade Divine artifact that has long since made a name for itself. Is this all it can do?” Chen Feng said with a scoff.

“Of course not. There’s more.” After Demon Monarch Wickedness said that, Chen Feng saw a high number of black threads appear. Every one of the threads was formed using wicked power, possessing the ability to slice and restrain space itself. More importantly, they were the attacks from a mid-grade Divine artifact.

Weng! Weng! Weng! Weng! Weng! Weng!

The Longevity Wings flapped as it cut apart the surrounding threads non-stop, but it was not too effective. Although the wings were capable of cutting off the black threads, this move required too much power.

“This is Ageless power. You are but a True Immortal. For you to even be able to do something like this, there are probably only a small handful in the whole universe with talents like yours. A pity, I am unable to go easy on you, otherwise I would really want to just let you pass and obtain my legacy,” Demon Monarch Wickedness said, his hand stretching out to perform a grasping motion. As a result, the black threads firmly tied up Chen Feng.

“Little fellow, surely this is not all you have,” Demon Monarch Wickedness said, a note of disappointment in his voice.

“Of course not.” Chen Feng’s voice rang out from behind Demon Monarch Wickedness, the battle lance in his hand already stabbing into Demon Monarch Wickedness’ body.

Bang!

Demon Monarch Wickedness’ whole body shattered apart and the Wicked Sceptre fell to the floor. However, Chen Feng did not reveal joy from that. On the contrary, he swiftly darted to the side. As expected, a hand emerged from the void. Although there was already a certain distance between himself and the hand, the power emanating from the hand had still sent him tumbling.

As for the ‘Chen Feng’ who was tied up by the black threads earlier, he had transformed into a stream of energy.

“Tsk, tsk. You are able to fight a Gold Immortal and not face defeat. Do you not feel excited?” Demon Monarch Wickedness stepped out from the void. Similar to the previous one, this was also a clone.

“I am somewhat excited, but I would be even more excited if I can defeat you,” Chen Feng replied with a smile. Mysterious runes surfaced across the combat armour he wore, the one formed from the fragment of the Great Wilderness Ding. This gave Chen Feng a mysterious appearance.

“The fragment of a high-grade Divine artifact. Not bad. A pity, it is only a fragment. Still, using it for defence is quite good,” Demon Monarch Wickedness said before muttering a few words. Next, the surrounding space began vibrating at a unique frequency and the Wicked Sceptre, which fell to the floor earlier, flew back into his hand.

It did not take long before Chen Feng sensed something amiss. A wicked aura began growing from within the depths of his own body while the surrounding vibrations slowed down his movements and ability to respond. Meanwhile, Demon Monarch Wickedness walked over, the Wicked Sceptre in hand.

If this opponent is a whole Gold Immortal, capable of unleashing the full power of the Wicked Sceptre, I would definitely be no match for him. But right now, there is a chance for me. If I can kill him here, then I will be able to kill half-step Gold Immortals! When Demon Monarch Wickedness appeared before Chen Feng, the Longevity Wings on his back abruptly burst into flames and Chen Feng’s speed, which had slowed down, promptly shot up again. The battle lance in his hand spun rapidly to stab Demon Monarch Wickedness. At the same time, the Divine Sun Needle silently shot towards Demon Monarch Wickedness’ head.

“Wicked Shield.” In the face of Chen Feng’s attacks, the sceptre in Demon Monarch Wickedness’ hand sprayed out a black, ripple-like wave of light to block the battle lance and Divine Sun Needle. Next, the black light transformed into a whip, which landed a heavy strike upon Chen Feng’s body.

Even though the combat armour Chen Feng wore had eliminated a great portion of the power behind the blow, Chen Feng could still feel a stream of wicked power snaking its way into his body. The power then began damaging and breaking apart his flesh and blood without respite.

For Chen Feng, facing Demon Monarch Wickedness was like a child facing an adult. Chen Feng was someone who could easily kill off opponents at a higher level. Given his present level of strength, he could even kill off a half-step Gold Immortal. But in the face of a genuine Gold Immortal, even if this Gold Immortal only possessed a small part of his power, Chen Feng did not have any confidence in his ability to emerge victorious.

Boom!

The Combat acupoint was constantly roaring as it supplied Chen Feng with an endless will to fight. However, after the brief exchange earlier, Chen Feng understood that, given his present level of strength, defeating this opponent was a pipe dream.

Not even pushing out all his power or burning up his essence power would work. The two of them were on two completely different levels.

Do I already have to use the Soul Demise Bow? Chen Feng was feeling hesitant. There were three more stages to go. There was no telling what kind of dangers he would encounter. Using the Soul Demise Bow in advance did not seem like a good thing.

Bang!

The wicked energy that the Wicked Sceptre fired out struck Chen Feng and the circulation of power within his body fell into a tumultuous state.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

At the very next moment, Chen Feng became tied up. Although the Longevity Wings were constantly vibrating, they were incapable of extricating themselves from the binding threads containing wicked power and Ageless laws.

Boom!

Suddenly, a golden chain emerged from Chen Feng’s body. Like a divine dragon, it assailed the threads tying up Chen Feng’s body non-stop.

And so, Chen Feng broke free and golden light shimmered all around his body. At that very moment, his ability to delve into the Ageless law became one level deeper.

“Interesting! So, there is an Ageless law from a Gold Immortal inside you. A genius! This is truly perfect!” Demon Monarch Wickedness, who had been maintaining his composure all this time, suddenly revealed a slightly warped expression. The wicked energy on his body suddenly grew several times stronger and the Wicked Sceptre in his hand also released thrumming sounds. It felt as though a great power was on the brink of recovery.

Promptly, Chen Feng sensed intense danger and his heart palpitated violently. This was something that would only happen when the situation at hand had completely spiralled beyond his control. Due to the intense feeling of danger, the Ageless law within Chen Feng’s body was stimulated and a greater power emerged to resist Demon Monarch Wickedness.

Now this is the aura of a Gold Immortal! He was just toying with me earlier. The thought flashed across Chen Feng’s mind.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! After waiting for so long, I didn’t think I would meet such a perfect genius! You are able to bear a Gold Immortal’s Ageless law at the True Immortal stage! Let me guess what kind of constitution you have. Is it the Supreme Immortal Constitution? The Reincarnation Constitution? Or the legendary Profound Origin Constitution? Ha ha ha ha! Would it be the number one divine constitution, the Chaos Constitution?”

“Kid, come!” Demon Monarch Wickedness’ palm spread open and grasped towards Chen Feng. The power that he was displaying was over ten times greater than before.

Oh, no! Chen Feng was shocked. Just as he was about to bring out the Soul Demise Bow, however, something unbelievable happened. Demon Monarch Wickedness had only just spread his hand out when his body began shaking. Next, all the power within his body began surging about chaotically in every direction. It was as though someone had entered his body and was wreaking havoc there.

“No! Don’t stop me! No one can snatch this from me!” Demon Monarch Wickedness’ words began turning incomprehensible, but the power within him became even more chaotic and booming sounds began ringing out from his body. No blood flowed out. Instead, only more chaotic streams of power emerged. It seemed as though he was under attack.

“What is going on here?” Chen Feng was puzzled. He did not understand why this would happen to Demon Monarch Wickedness. However, he knew that this was a good opportunity to finish him off. And so, wielding his battle lance, Chen Feng rapidly charged forward. With the power of the Ageless law and the Longevity Wings behind it, the battle lance unleashed over a hundred successive stabs at Demon Monarch Wickedness’ body. At the same time, Chen Feng was also on guard against the counter attacks from the Wicked Sceptre. But even after Demon Monarch Wickedness’ aura had dissipated away, the mid-grade Divine artifact remained still, not revealing the offensive power that it should possess.

“I managed to kill him just like that? A Gold Immortal?” Chen Feng stepped forward to pick up the Wicked Sceptre, a look of disbelief on his face.

“Isn’t that too big of a change?” Despite saying that, Chen Feng was not feeling shocked at all. Instead, he swiftly pondered all the potential possibilities for what was happening here. Since the appearance of Demon Monarch Wickedness, Chen Feng had figured out that all of this might be under the control of a certain someone. And while Chen Feng and the others were able to grow stronger as they made their way through the stages, there was no way to know if this would truly be a good thing for them in the end.

That was especially so considering Demon Monarch Wickedness’ sudden actions and words in the end. From all that, Chen Feng had a faint sensation that he might be trapped within a prison.

The most important issue here was that he was incapable of exiting. All he could do was continue onwards.

According to Demon Monarch Wickedness, there are three more stages to go. I believe that the level of difficulty would only increase. Funnily enough, I should have been incapable of passing this stage, but someone secretly helped me back then.

Having reached that line of thought, Chen Feng’s heart grew tense. Looks like someone doesn’t want me to die here. Or perhaps, that someone doesn’t want me to die to Demon Monarch Wickedness. Heh! I want to see just who is the mastermind here.

After settling his thoughts, Chen Feng then strode forward, following the pathway into the 97th palace hall.

A middle-aged man in white clothes was seated on a flight of stairs, his eyes looking at Chen Feng. In his hand was an ordinary-looking sword. Smiling, he then said, “Welcome, I am Sword Immortal Life Death.”

“Sword Immortal Life Death!” Chen Feng’s eyes abruptly lit up.

...

In a valley not far away from the Primordial Mountain Range, Tun Ri, Da Feng and the rest were gathered together to discuss something. At that very moment, their numbers had increased somewhat. Just the number of high-level Heavenly Immortals had exceeded 50 while the number of mid-level Heavenly Immortals had exceeded 300. Normally, this could already be considered as a very formidable force. In a fight, this force could kill even a half-step Gold Immortal. However, the atmosphere there was very gloomy and bleak. The faces of Tun Ri and the others revealed uncontrollable rage.

“Three more have died today,” Da Feng said.

“Humph! This is not the way to go. When will Sha Xian and the others arrive?” Tun Ri abruptly stood up, flames bursting out from his eyes.
