“Soul Subduing Mantra. You are a member of the Longevity Clan.” The thought emerged from the soul power sucked into the Void Maelstrom before the imprint within it was wiped out.

Who is the other party? He actually recognizes me!

 Chen Feng was shocked and his figure flashed forward, locking down the other party’s aura before rushing forward.

Sou! Sou!

Three blades of light flashed forward, at a speed surpassing Chen Feng’s imagination. In the end, Chen Feng managed to block two of the blades of light while the third slammed against his body. Starlight then flashed out as the pseudo-Divine artifact burst with power to block the attack.

“Sir, who are you? Can’t you come out and meet me?” Chen Feng said with a derisive grin as he waved his hand to unfurl the Bedazzling Star Map, which then exerted control over the surrounding space.

“A pseudo-Divine artifact!” A shocked voice rang out from the starry space. 

“Since you are unwilling to come out, I will not rush it.” Chen Feng had already locked down the other party’s position, but this person was very strong and Chen Feng did not want to recklessly make contact with him. Locating the other person was good enough.

After locking down the other party’s position, Chen Feng also caught sight of his objective, the spatial crevice. He saw a long crack hovering in space somewhere far away from him. It was like an elongated black hole. One glance at it caused his gaze to be devoured into it.

There was nothing special about this spatial crack. However, items kept gushing out from it. Some were items that even formidable cultivators would fight over. This was the mysterious spatial crevice that existed in outer space.

On the other side, Huo Yunlong and the Dark Kirin were furiously snatching up the items flying out from the spatial crevice while Premier Golden Earth worked together with Chen Feng to lock down on the position of the other party who was trying to hide.

Seeing more and more of the items falling into the hands of Huo Yunlong and the Dark Kirin, the hidden cultivator was finally incapable of holding back anymore. He then chose to attack Premier Golden Earth first.

A black-coloured soul power broke through layer after layer of turbulent energy streams with lightning-like speed before abruptly transforming into a blade, which slashed down upon Premier Golden Earth.

Clearly, when compared to his massive body, Premier Golden Earth’s soul power was relatively weak. This was also why he had repeatedly lost to the hidden cultivator.

“I want to see just who the other party is.” Chen Feng pushed the Longevity Wings to their limits to instantly disappear from sight.

Boom!

A blazing sun suddenly flew up and Premier Golden Earth cried out in misery as he was sent flying. Chen Feng then waved his hand and the Chaos Chain swirled about wantonly to seal up the surrounding space, covering a radius of 50,000 kilometres in a flash to stop the hidden cultivator’s next attack.

Wave after wave of electrical flashes coursed through the chains to make contact with Chen Feng’s hand. At the same time, there was also an even more mysterious soul attack contained within them.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

Suddenly, a great hand emerged from space to grab the Chaos Chain. Due to the formidable power of destruction that it was exerting, cracks began spreading out across the Chaos Chain that had already levelled up to the top-grade Immortal tier. It appeared to be on the verge of shattering apart.

In response, Chen Feng sneered and the Chaos Chain split up to spread around. At the same time, countless fine needles – formed using the power of chaos – shot into their surroundings. The fine needles were not to be underestimated. Every single one of them could pierce through a small planet.

“Shining Gold 10,000 Zhang Blade!”

A 10,000-zhang-long blade of light, formed entirely from the power of metal, slashed through space with great ferocity.

“Premier Golden Earth, you actually found some helpers to come over. You really have no fear towards death.” The other party’s voice echoed around them.

“Subdue!”

Chen Feng waved his hand, and the Soul Subduing Talisman that he had prepared long ago flashed out before rapidly expanding, emanating an atmosphere of an existence capable of suppressing all.

“Break!”

However, the other party merely shouted once to break the Soul Subduing Talisman that Chen Feng had spent a long time preparing.

It is so easily broken! Looks like the opponent is proficient in the dao of the soul.

 Chen Feng then brought out the eye-shaped Void Maelstrom. The size of a fist, it floated up before Chen Feng to swiftly grow in size and light flared out through a radius of tens of millions of zhang and everything in its wake was swept up.

Next, a cultivator with a slender stature appeared before Chen Feng’s field of vision.

“Hiding all the time. Can you not come out and meet others?” Chen Feng said, waving again as the Void Maelstrom released a concentrated stream of power. In but a flash, the stream of power arrived before the slender cultivator.

“Mountain Cracker!”

Mountains appeared out of thin air. For the sake of revenge, Premier Golden Earth launched even more ferocious attacks at the slender cultivator.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! Premier Golden Earth, it’s been a while since we last met. Looks like you have not improved at all.” The slender cultivator was clad in cyan-coloured armour. Sporting long hair that flowed down freely, he had a face of stalwartness. Stepping forward, he then unleashed a punch, which released a pulse of violent power. The pulse of violent power dispersed all of the incoming attacks.

“The mid-level True Immortal stage. You really did advance. Looks like you managed to benefit quite a bit over the years.” Premier Golden Earth’s eyes turned red from rage and envy. Those items should have been his.

“There are some benefits indeed. As long as you are willing to become my mount, I can grant you some treasures.” The cyan-armoured cultivator then laughed loudly.

Hearing that enraged Premier Golden Earth so badly that he felt himself on the verge of vomiting blood. Without saying a word, his massive body charged.

The body of a yao beast was much stronger compared to that of a human body. This was the difference between two species.

“Since you are unwilling to, I will just have to beat you up and make you my mount by force.” The cyan-armoured cultivator’s body dashed forward, a wooden staff appearing in his hand. The wooden staff was only one metre in length and there was a cyan light flowing across its surface, making it look like jade. Mysterious patterns flashed on its surface. With a swing from the cyan-armoured cultivator, the wooden staff elongated to a length of over 5,000 kilometres as it swung towards Premier Golden Earth.

Chen Feng’s eyes narrowed and he regarded the wooden staff in detail.

It is a magic treasure forged using the Longevity Wood!

Could this person be connected to the Celestial Longevity Plane? Or did he find a piece of Longevity Wood from somewhere other than the Celestial Longevity Plane?

 Chen Feng wondered, but he did not stop taking action. A river of stars flowed out from his body before rapidly spreading out. In but a flash, the surrounding space, covering a radius of half a million kilometres, was filled with flashing stars. All of the stars were arranged according to a unique pattern. This was a star array.

The Bedazzling Star Map had taken over their battlefield.

“A star array, pseudo-Divine artifact.” A mysterious light flashed out from the cyan-armoured cultivator’s eyes.

“This is my territory now. Are you still not going to stop?” Chen Feng said. With a wave of his hand, starlight moved rapidly to form starlight ropes. The ropes then sealed up their surroundings while a savage beast – also formed using starlight – charged towards the cyan-armoured cultivator.

“Even a pseudo-Divine artifact might not be able to entrap me.” After beating back Premier Golden Earth, the cyan-armoured cultivator suddenly brought out spear. The moment the spear appeared, Chen Feng felt an eye-piercing sensation assailing his eyes. Rather, the pain was even affecting his mind.

Upon appearing, the spear instantly revealed a Heaven-piercing atmosphere.

“A pseudo-Divine artifact!” Chen Feng felt shocked. Unexpectedly, this opponent would also possess a pseudo-Divine artifact. More, this was an offensive type of pseudo-Divine artifact.

Brandishing the spear, the cyan-armoured cultivator displayed a sweeping motion to shatter apart the surrounding stars. Another sweeping motion caused the star array created by the stars to fall into a state of turmoil.

The cyan-armoured cultivator chuckled and stepped forward to arrive before Chen Feng. Next, he stabbed at Chen Feng with the spear and the True laws behind this move left Chen Feng incapable of moving.

“Roar!”

Premier Golden Earth’s attack arrived. His body, at least 100,000 zhang in length, released a roar and a massive golden ball – flashing with a dazzling light – shot out from his mouth. It was like a gigantic asteroid. But after shooting out the golden ball, Premier Golden Earth’s aura became a notch weaker.

Despite having a pseudo-Divine artifact in his hand, the cyan-armoured cultivator’s face turned somewhat grim in the face of this move. The spear in his hand had only just reached the pseudo-Divine tier, after all. It was still not able to sweep everything aside. Originally, he had believed that this spear was enough to handle Premier Golden Earth. But the participation of another cultivator who possessed a pseudo-Divine artifact was quite a bother.

“Yang Soul!”

The cyan-armoured cultivator shouted and the spear in his hand thrust furiously towards the golden ball. As a result, the entire starry space turned golden in colour.

Once again, Chen Feng’s soul shook.

Premier Golden Earth was practically putting his life on the line with this attack, using his very own essence power for it. As for the unknown cyan-armoured cultivator, he was utilizing a pseudo-Divine artifact while this move of his contained an extreme power of yang. More, there was also a soul attack attached to his move. Seeing that secretly shocked Chen Feng, but he made use of the opportunity to take action nonetheless. The Bedazzling Star Map unfurled once more to release starlight. The Primary Spirit Diagram of First Origin as well; it surged out like a great river.

The golden ball was broken and Premier Golden Earth was grievously wounded. Under such circumstances, the cyan-armoured cultivator could have utterly destroyed the golden ball. However, the feeling of danger he sensed caused him to dash away instead. He broke through the many layers of obstructions created by the two pseudo-Divine artifacts before charging out from their domain of influence.

This fellow actually possesses two pseudo-Divine artifacts! I should charge out first.

 That was the thought running through the cyan-armoured cultivator’s mind as he brandished his spear to carve open a path through the obstructions.

However, he had just charged out when the space before him suddenly turned still. A massive nine-tiered pagoda tower was descending upon him all of a sudden. The aura from the pagoda tower was seemingly capable of suppressing all forms of power within the universe and its appearance instantly caused the spear in the cyan-armoured cultivator’s hand to shake and wail.

“The Longevity Tower!”

A look of dread appeared on the cyan-armoured cultivator’s face before the Longevity Tower smashed him back into the Bedazzling Star Map. Due to the impact, a high number of cracks spread out across his whole body and he had to struggle bitterly to stop his body from falling apart.

A great river and a star array appeared at the same time to heavily suppress the cyan-armoured cultivator who screamed in response. Finally, his fleshly body broke apart only to quickly recover. However, due to the suppression of the two pseudo-Divine artifacts, he was no longer capable of resisting anymore.

“A Longevity Tower! How could a Longevity Tower appear here? Who are you?” the cyan-armoured cultivator roared even as he continued his attempts to extricate himself, his eyes staring intently at Chen Feng.

“This is not the time for you to be asking questions. I’ll be the one asking questions here. Who are you? Are you from the Celestial Longevity Plane?” Chen Feng arrived before the cyan-armoured cultivator and said icily.

“Yes, I am from the Celestial Longevity Plane, a member of the Longevity Clan.” The cyan-armoured cultivator gradually calmed down, but Chen Feng knew that he was secretly preparing a move. Chen Feng, however, did not feel concerned. Instead, he beckoned and a cyan-coloured wooden staff flew out from the cyan-armoured cultivator’s body to fall into his hand.

“It is indeed the Longevity Wood. Even the method of forging is from the Longevity Clan. That said, a verification is still required,” Chen Feng said, swinging the Immortal Slaughter Sword to leave a slash wound on the cyan-armoured cultivator’s body. Next, a drop of blood flew out.

“Tower, check it out.”

After entering the Longevity Tower, the drop of blood immediately disappeared, but Tower was quick to speak up. “He is from the Longevity Clan.”
