Chapter 959 Merger

Translator: podao001

The golden armour that the golden-armoured cultivator was wearing was something forged by a True Immortal. It was an Immortal-tier armour with True laws embedded within it. Normally, not even a True Immortal would be able to easily break the armour. Unexpectedly, Chen Feng’s attack would manage to pierce through it. This was beyond the golden-armoured cultivator’s expectations.

Seeing that, Chen Feng grew delighted and the lance in his hand instantly transformed into a formidable stream of energy before charging into the wound and into the golden-armoured cultivator’s body.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

Cracks spread out all across the golden armour. Finally, that part of the armour burst apart to reveal wounded flesh. At the same time, the attacks from the Dark Kirin and Bi Qing arrived. The power of darkness and Immortal artifacts surged into the golden-armoured cultivator’s body at the same time to inflict even more damage upon him.

“Don’t get cocky, kid! You will die before me!” The golden-armoured cultivator’s face contorted and he fired out a punch at Chen Feng. Although he was already injured, the power behind his punch was like a torrential river. Taking this punch would spell certain death for Chen Feng.

“I’ve been waiting for you!”

The Longevity Tower appeared before the charging golden-armoured cultivator, sucking him inside.

“It’s done!”

Seeing the golden-armoured cultivator enter the Longevity Tower, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief. As far as he could remember, no cultivator had ever managed to make it out from the Longevity Tower.

“Kid, don’t get too happy just yet. I haven’t beaten him.” The Longevity Tower thrummed as it channelled all of its power to take down the True Immortal. Even the essence energy within the fifth floor was mobilized to firmly entangle the True Immortal. Needless to say, there were already countless Longevity Chains and suppressive talismans all over the place.

“Let’s extract the True laws out from him first.” Chen Feng entered the Longevity Tower as well. Yet another wave of power was sent over from East Dragon Island into the Longevity Tower and a lance was formed. The lance pierced the golden-armoured cultivator’s body and the power that the golden-armoured cultivator had been gathering was lost as a result.

“I finally realized why cultivators who have cultivated their bodily world are so powerful. World power aside, there is also the unity of myriad minds. However, this fellow sure is a funny one. Even though he has already cultivated out his bodily world, there are no living creatures inside it. I think he must be practicing a different cultivation path,” Chen Feng said with a chuckle.

The golden-armoured cultivator was pierced a second time. He wanted to gather his strength again to break free, but it was already too late. One by one, the Longevity Tower extracted the True laws out from his body. Following the loss of the power of laws, the golden-armoured cultivator felt his power draining away at an alarming rate and his body became increasingly weak; his essence, energy and soul power kept withering away.

Finally, when all the True laws had been extracted, the golden-armoured cultivator accepted his fate. He knew that he could no longer escape from the Longevity Tower.

“Unexpectedly, I would die inside the Longevity Tower. At the very least, my life was not in vain.” After saying that, the golden-armoured cultivator then laughed loudly.

Chen Feng did not ask the golden-armoured cultivator what he meant by that. This was a living True Immortal, after all. The True laws and essence, energy and soul power extracted from him were all good items. For Ascendant Immortals, just a drop of blood essence from a True Immortal was a great treasure, far more valuable compared to an Immortal artifact.

“It’s time we head back. The Immortal Plane will probably not take action anymore, not unless they are ready to start a war with the Celestial Planes.”

“Yes. No matter how you cut it, we are from the Celestial Longevity Plane and Celestial Clearblue Plane. They have already sent a genuine True Immortal down and suffered from a minor loss. If they continue to take action, others will not just stand by.”

“Although this was quite dangerous, we managed to score quite the haul. Immortal energy, Heavenly Flower Talismans, immortal dao laws and the fleshly body of a True Immortal. Heh! I think the Immortal Plane must really hate us now,” Chen Feng said with a chuckle.

“The Immortal Plane still has many experts. Before I recover my strength, I will not be heading to the Immortal Plane.” Bi Qing nodded.

After returning to East Dragon Island, Chen Feng found that it was still in a state of chaos. He had not expected this. He had assumed that Heavenly Premier Absolute and the others would be able to quickly deal with the situation. Unexpectedly, Heavenly Firmaments Palace had sent forth a high number of Earthen Immortals and Human Immortals for this. Rather, they even sent out some Sky Human stage cultivators.

Heavenly Premier Absolute and the others were exalted Ascendant Immortals, after all. Taking action to kill off other Ascendant Immortals was not an issue for them. However, to take action against low-level cultivators was somewhat unreasonable. Thus, seeing the incoming army, they did not take action and instead left it to the low-level cultivators.

That said, there were many, many cultivators in East Dragon Island. Not to mention, there were also immortal energy there, allowing their cultivation bases to rise by leaps and bounds. Thus, dealing with those attackers from Heavenly Firmaments Palace was a piece of cake for them.

Unexpectedly, other than Heavenly Firmaments Palace, the other sects from the world of cultivation also came to take advantage of the situation. A portion of them were even from the Central Plains. Seeing that infuriated those on East Dragon Island’s side, but they were quick to understand why.

Envy, the bloodshot-eyes type of envy.

East Dragon Island had obviously become a true paradise for cultivation. Naturally, those who could enter East Dragon Island to cultivate would feel highly delighted, but there were even more who could not.

In the beginning, as they were all fearful of East Dragon Island’s might, none of them dared to recklessly attack East Dragon Island. At that very moment, however, the situation had changed. Heavenly Firmaments Palace had chosen to attack. Additionally, it would appear that the Ascendant Immortals on East Dragon Island’s side had no intentions of interfering. Due to that, many forces and cultivators chose to come forward and fish in troubled waters.

Seeing that, Chen Feng could not stop himself from bursting into a smile. Without question, it was a ridiculing smile. It was one thing for them to not unite and fight Heavenly Firmaments Palace. Surprisingly, they actually chose to trouble East Dragon Island instead.

Moreover, in the face of the formidable attack from Heavenly Firmaments Palace, many forces and sects instantly chose to surrender instead.

“Taking action against these cultivators feels inappropriate for us.” There was a somewhat embarrassed look on Heavenly Premier Absolute and the others’ faces as they faced Chen Feng. Chen Feng had entrusted them with safeguarding East Dragon Island before he left, after all. At that very moment, the number of attackers in East Dragon Island had exceeded 10 million. The two sides fought one another, resulting in a highly chaotic situation and cultivators would die with every passing second.

“I myself failed to foresee this. Could these people not see the big picture?” Chen Feng shook his head.

“Heavenly Firmaments Palace dispatched a total of 10 Ascendant Immortals, but those Ascendant Immortals have no intentions of actually fighting. The way I see it, they are just here to test us,” Patriarch Carefree said.

“If we take action, we can instantly kill off those Earthen Immortals and Human Immortals,” Ascendant Immortal Blackmalice said.

“If we kill them, those old monsters behind them will surely come out.”

“Heh! It’s just a matter of time before we have to fight them. Those fellows are thinking about just watching the show, but eventually the fires will reach them as well.”

“I am still unable to take action against these low-level cultivators now. We have millions of cultivators on our side. Driving these intruders away is just a matter of time.”

“This is the result that Heavenly Firmaments Palace wants to see, our strength getting sapped away.”

“But this can also be considered a form of training.”

Chen Feng stayed silent as the Ascendant Immortals discussed the issue. He then waved and a high number of golden-coloured streams of light flowed out from his hand.

“Immortal dao laws!” The eyes of the Ascendant Immortals there lit up.

“Unfortunately, these are just ordinary immortal dao laws. They will only be useful for Human Immortals and Earthen Immortals. Even their number is quite low.” Chen Feng shook his head.

It did not take long before Chen Feng distributed the 2,000 immortal dao laws obtained through the Great Heavenstealing Array. As a result, 2,000 cultivators managed to break through to the next cultivation level.

The beneficiaries were naturally the cultivators important to East Dragon Island’s side. The native cultivators of East Dragon Island made up the most of the beneficiaries while the cultivators from Extreme Celestial Sect, Heavenly Sword Faction, Four Great Academies and some of Chen Feng’s close friends make up the rest. Though, a few cultivators from the forces who joined in later also received the immortal dao laws. That was something that Chen Feng had deliberately done.

Although Patriarch Carefree and the others felt somewhat envious, they did not say anything. At any rate, they had already managed to benefit a lot by having their disciples and family members cultivate in East Dragon Island. To be asking for the immortal dao laws as well would be like asking for a mile after given an inch. Most importantly, they had not contributed much.

Of course, some had still felt slightly displeased with that. Only, they did not say anything about it.

Naturally, Chen Feng was aware of what they were thinking. Smiling, he said, “Just now, I had joined forces with a few other seniors to kill a True Immortal who descended from the Immortal Plane and extracted several True laws from him.”

“True laws! The laws that a True Immortal cultivated out!” Hearing that, the eyes of the 11 Ascendant Immortals who just joined East Dragon Island grew bloodshot.

Chen Feng then stretched out his palm and several streams of True laws – shining with golden light – swam within his grasp. The appearance of those streams of golden light caused the atmosphere there to grow fiery.

“I am a generous person. As long as you all contribute, I will not mistreat you. Heavenly Premier Absolute and the others should already have a deep understanding of that.” Chen Feng then kept the True laws.

“Yes, the reason we were able to make such a great progress in our cultivation bases is because we have refined True laws.” Heavenly Premier Absolute chimed in at the perfect timing.

Patriarch Carefree and the others grew enlightened. No wonder Heavenly Premier Absolute and the others could reach the mid-level Ascendant Immortal stage. They had actually gotten their hands on True laws! When they thought about that, they all felt jealous.

“Ha ha ha! I believe that Green Lotus will be regretting his actions very soon.” Patriarch Carefree then laughed loudly.

Next up, none of them chose to interfere in what was happening in East Dragon Island. The cultivators who chose to attack East Dragon Island suffered from serious casualties and only a small number managed to escape. However, the moment they made it out from East Dragon Island’s barrier, they would die to the attacks from Chen Feng, attacks launched using the power of Immortal artifacts.

“I am not an Ascendant Immortal. There is nothing for me to feel embarrassed about. If you fellows want to trouble my East Dragon Island, you must pay the price,” Chen Feng said nonchalantly.

You are not an Ascendant Immortal? Sure, but you are even stronger than one! That was the thought going through the minds of many there, but none of them said a word about it.

“This time, we managed to obtain a large quantity of immortal energy. And while time is needed for our cultivators to cultivate, spending all their time on cultivation alone is not a good thing. They also need training in order to improve faster. Heavenly Firmaments Palace made use of this opportunity to attack East Dragon Island. We will have to settle this score with them sooner or later. Right now, though, we should take care of the sects and forces who chose to plunder the burning house. I want to mobilize a portion of our cultivators to attack these sects. Only by cleaning up these small fries will it be easier to unite and deal with Heavenly Firmaments Palace’s upcoming attack. Fellows, what do you think?” Chen Feng said with a smile.

“Island Lord Chen’s words are reasonable. My Sima Family is willing to send some of our family members for this. I hope they can follow and gain some experience from this.” Patriarch Carefree was the first to respond.

Benefits are not easy to obtain, this is the time to contribute, the other Ascendant Immortals thought.
