“Makes sense.” Seeing Star Monarch Warsoul getting struck, the feelings of shock and fear within them lessened somewhat.
“Humph! So, it’s just a broken Immortal artefact. Watch as I smash it apart!” Although the Wicked Barbarian Deity’s body had shrunk, his offensive power did not decrease. Instead, the formidable aura radiating out from his body only grew stronger.
“War!”
After Star Monarch Warsoul managed to steady himself, he shouted and the space around him shook as countless streams of starlight flowed over quickly to fuse together, forming the ‘war’ character. The ‘war’ character then fused into Star Monarch Warsoul’s body. Next, his body – formed using the power of the stars – became even more solid. He then threw a punch forward to take on the punch from the Wicked Barbarian Deity. Due to the clash, the Wicked Barbarian Deity was sent flying. On the other hand, the clash had only managed to shake Star Monarch Warsoul slightly.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
The attacks from the four Heavenly Premiers arrived. However, Star Monarch Warsoul’s movements were swift and flexible. Despite having to face four Ascendant Immortals, he did not end up in a disadvantageous position.
“What a bunch of buffoons.”
Inside the Longevity Tower, Tower and the few Yao Immortals inside were observing the fight. Chen Feng, too, had sent his divine sense into the tower.
“Tower, do you have a plan?” Chen Feng’s eyes lit up.
“These fellows’ level of cooperation is shit. On the other hand, the little kid cultivating the Arcane Star Technique possesses a great deal of combat experience. Not to mention, he is also capable of absorbing the power of stars to replenish his strength. Heh! If this is allowed to go on, all of them will end up getting killed one by one,” Tower said with a snicker.
“What should be done then?” Chen Feng asked, his voice one of humbleness.
“You tell me, what clues can you see from this battle?” Tower suddenly put on a cryptic and exalted look.
“I can’t see anything. All I can see is that the opponent is very powerful and tough.”
“You moron! Can’t you see that the Immortal Warsoul Palace has never left his hand? He is constantly holding it.”
After hearing Tower’s words, Chen Feng finally noticed it. During the battle, Star Monarch Warsoul would almost never have the Immortal Warsoul Palace leave his grasp. Even when attacking with it, he would quickly take it back. In fact, he would never allow it to stray too far away from him.
In a battle between cultivators, their magic treasures would often be flying around in every direction. The fact that Star Monarch Warsoul was constantly holding his Immortal artefact proved that there was something wrong about it.
“Senior, try to figure a way to separate him from his immortal palace!” Chen Feng shouted loudly.
Heavenly Premier Absolute, who was in the midst of fighting Star Monarch Warsoul, was first taken aback. However, his eyes shone as he quickly understood what Chen Feng meant. At the same time, though, he lamented his stupidity.
Heavenly Premier Absolute then informed the others about it and they quickly came up with a battle plan.
Due to that, their fighting style swiftly changed, becoming somewhat weaker as they kept backing away. Occasionally, they would end up getting wounded as well, causing Star Monarch Warsoul’s atmosphere of power to grow even stronger.
“Can we stop this? Let’s resolve this situation peacefully!” Heavenly Premier Four Cardinals shouted.
“Peacefully resolve this? Of course. Just be good and let me devour all of you.” Having seen the light of victory, Star Monarch Warsoul began looking down on them all.
“You want us to do nothing and let you devour us? You’re dreaming! If we go all out, this will end with mutual destruction!”
“Mutual destruction? Ha ha ha ha ha! You and what army? You don’t have what it takes!”
Bang!
Heavenly Premier Eternal was sent flying. Laughing loudly, Star Monarch Warsoul then rushed forward. He wanted to make use of this opportunity to kill off Heavenly Premier Eternal.
“Attack!”
“Kill!”
“Void Sword of the West!”
“Heavensight Codex!”
Golden light attacked Star Monarch Warsoul again. This time, however, Star Monarch Warsoul was prepared and he managed to evade the strands of golden light.
“Support me!”
Heavenly Premier Heavensight shouted and the other three Heavenly Premiers fired out three streams of power into Heavenly Premier Heavensight’s body.
Due to that, Heavenly Premier Heavensight’s power shot up like a straight line and the Heavensight Codex in her hand flew forward before expanding in size. Next, the book opened up, its two opened parts becoming like two worlds attempting to enclose and squish Star Monarch Warsoul.
“Divine Savage Smash!”
Unexpectedly, the punch from the Wicked Barbarian Deity erupted in mid-space and a blood stream was condensed out before burning its way forward like a meteor. With a booming sound, it smashed into Star Monarch Warsoul’s body.
Heavenly Premier Heavensight’s whole body trembled violently. In order to unlock the true power of the Heavensight Codex, she had over exhausted her vitality.
As expected, her move had once again succeeded in locking Star Monarch Warsoul in place. Star Monarch Warsoul instinctively sensed danger. And yet, he was incapable of extricating himself from the restraints.
“Good!”
Heavenly Premier Absolute rushed forward, the wooden staff in his hand charging out to strike the Immortal Warsoul Palace, knocking it out from Star Monarch Warsoul’s grasp to tumble far away.
Star Monarch Warsoul’s face sank somewhat. He wanted to summon the Immortal Warsoul Palace back. However, he was too late. The semi-transparent silhouette of a lance suddenly flashed out to knocked the Immortal Warsoul Palace even farther away.
In the end, the Immortal Warsoul Palace ended up somewhere beyond 5,000 kilometres away from their battle. Not to mention, it was still drifting away.
Star Monarch Warsoul roared, starlight flaring out from his body. The formidable power that he displayed successfully repelled them all. Next, his figure flashed away as he went after the Immortal Warsoul Palace.
Bang!
The Wicked Barbarian Deity appeared before Star Monarch Warsoul’s path to unleash yet another blast of bloody light, which stopped Star Monarch Warsoul’s advance.
Star Monarch Warsoul bellowed again and again. In the end, however, he failed to make his way to the Immortal Warsoul Palace. It did not take long for the aura radiating out from Star Monarch Warsoul’s body to gradually weaken. In the end, he could not even fight one of the Heavenly Premiers on his own.
“As expected, due to the fact that his body is not a real one, he is incapable of moving too far away from the Immortal Warsoul Palace. Now that his strength has fallen, it is time we kill him!” A grin appeared on the Wicked Barbarian Deity’s face as he ignored the wounds on his body.
Next up, everything proceeded smoothly. Everyone’s fighting spirit rose and they charged forward to swiftly butcher Star Monarch Warsoul, leaving only shattered streams of energy in space.
Naturally, Chen Feng made away with the streams of energy.
Seeing Heavenly Premier Absolute collecting the energy streams, the others felt astounded. They did not understand what was happening. As for Heavenly Premier Absolute, he did not say anything about it.
“Come. There should no longer be any issues in collecting the Immortal Warsoul Palace now.”
This time, the Immortal Warsoul Palace did not attack them anymore and Heavenly Premier Absolute was able to grab it.
“Let’s check out what good items are inside first. Then, we can discuss how to divide the spoils.”
“Are there any objections?”
“No.”
The four Heavenly Premiers then unanimously turned to look at the Wicked Barbarian Deity. Their eyes flashed, but in the end, they all decided not to fight.
“Splitting the spoils up between five people. We should be able to get some good items.”
“Not five, but six,” Heavenly Premier Absolute said, releasing Chen Feng out from his bodily world.
“Greetings, seniors.” Chen Feng saluted respectfully.
“Six? I say, Absolute, although this kid is a student from your Absolute Academy, you cannot do this,” Heavenly Premier Four Cardinals said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone.
“Humph! Chen Feng contributed a lot. If it weren’t for Chen Feng, we wouldn’t have been able to finish off Star Monarch Warsoul just now,” Heavenly Premier Absolute said, his tone also containing displeasure. Next, he informed them what happened earlier.
Regarding the Immortal-tier lance in Chen Feng’s hand, they all finally nodded and agreed. At any rate, the Immortal artefact was not just an ornament.
“Fine. Let’s see what is inside.”
They all took action, bringing out everything that was stored inside the Immortal Warsoul Palace. The items were all clumped up together in space, waiting for them to divide.
“It’s this item.” Suddenly, Chen Feng strode forward, making his way towards a circular box.
“Heh! This kid cannot hold back anymore.” Seeing Chen Feng’s actions, several of the Ascendant Immortals could not stop themselves from smiling. However, they did not stop him. They were all seniors when compared to Chen Feng, after all. There was a need to maintain their status and disposition.
“Fellow seniors, I want this item.” Chen Feng simply picked up the box. The moment he held it, he could feel his blood streams surging at a more vigorous rate and his heart thumped with greater ferocity.
“What is inside it? As long as it is not an Immortal artefact, it is yours,” Heavenly Premier Eternal said smilingly.
“It’s probably not.” Chen Feng opened the box. Inside it was a heart-shaped item, seemingly carved out from crystals. The crystal heart then jumped out and Chen Feng swiftly grabbed it.
The heart was not big, only the size of a walnut. Crystal-clear and fiery-red in colour, it looked like dancing flames. It looked like the most valuable gem in the entire universe.
However, there were seven small holes on the heart. Every one of the seven holes was different from the rest and Chen Feng could clearly sense that the seven small holes were ceaselessly taking in and exhaling energy essence. Holding it, Chen Feng could feel his palm turn hot.
“It’s the Heart of Seven Apertures!” Chen Feng exclaimed before laughing out.
Ever since opening his Seven Aperture acupoints, Chen Feng had been searching high and low for a Heart of Seven Apertures. Unexpectedly, he would find it here in the end.
Only, this spiritual object was simply too rare. This item was not for sale anywhere. It wasn’t something that could be bought with spirit stones.
“So, it’s a Heart of Seven Apertures. Kid, you sure are lucky. However, you can be at ease. For us, an item at that level is not worth competing for,” Heavenly Premier Four Cardinals said smilingly.
“Humph! That is indeed a good item. However, its grade is too low. It cannot help me much,” the Wicked Barbarian Deity said.
Chen Feng smiled and kept the Heart of Seven Apertures. This was not the time to refine it.
Next up, they began dividing the spoils found within the Immortal Warsoul Palace. There were indeed some cultivation materials inside. If all the spoils were to go to only one of them, it would have been a considerable amount of wealth. However, after splitting it up between them all, the amount each of them obtained became somewhat little. Even Chen Feng felt it to be somewhat unattractive.
That said, after seeing the pile of spirit stones placed aside for him, he smiled as he collected them. No matter what, those were Immortal crystals. The only issue was the fact that there were too little.
“Sigh! After that bloody battle, we only managed to obtain some spirit stones. Who knows how long it would take for us to recover from the wounds we took here? This is a serious loss.”
“It’s not that bad. Don’t we still have an Immortal artefact here?”
“This is indeed an Immortal artefact. However, it is also a broken Immortal artefact.”
The most valuable item there was the immortal palace. Unfortunately, even the Immortal Warsoul Palace was a damaged object. After discussing it through, they all decided to simply break down the immortal palace. Chen Feng himself managed to obtain a few valuable materials from it.
Looking at the materials obtained from the immortal palace in his hand, Chen Feng could not stop himself from smiling.
“Fellows, farewell.” The Wicked Barbarian Deity nodded and his figure transformed into a stream of light before rapidly disappearing into the starry depths of space.
“We should head back too.”
“Yes. We need to head back and take care of our wounds.”
