Chapter 1124 Undergo Tribulation

 

Seeing the look of confidence on Tower’s face, Chen Feng grew relieved.

“However, due to the battle, my aura was exposed. It will likely attract the attention of some people. Next up, I will have to lie low. You as well. The fact that you are a member of the Longevity Clan must not be exposed. Although it would appear that the Celestial Longevity Plane has grown weaker due to what happened to it, I know that its foundation is still strong. It is not something that the Immortal Plane can offend. It even has a very formidable force here in the Immortal Plane.”

“I know.” Chen Feng nodded. Although he had to leave the Celestial Longevity Plane since he was very young, he was a member of the imperial family. More, he was from the most important branch of the imperial family. After recovering his memories, he also received some legacies tied to his genes. That included some power and secrets.

“The other Celestial Planes also have their own forces here in the Immortal Plane, formidable forces. And while I can flee if I’m no match for them, I am worried that news about me would be sent back. Should that happen, even stronger cultivators would come.” 

“It has been a while since I entered the Six Daos Sword Faction. It is time I entered the central areas of this sect. Of course, before that, I have to undergo my tribulation. I wonder, what kind of change will I see by undergoing my tribulation here in the Immortal Plane?” Chen Feng said, leaving his grotto-mansion. He flew towards the Primordial Mountain Range. Naturally, he would not be leaving the Six Daos Sword Faction’s territory for this. Only, for fear that others might discover his secret, he decided to find a remote place for it.

The Primordial Mountain Range was very big and it did not take long before Chen Feng stopped at a desolate and disorderly area. The ground there was truly desolate. Even though it was also part of the Primordial Mountain Range, the amount of spiritual energy there was very low. Additionally, Chen Feng also saw craters all over the place. There were also some broken weapons inserted into the ground.

Many of the Six Daos Sword Faction’s disciples would choose this place for their tribulations. And so, Chen Feng simply found a spot and brought out his pseudo-Divine artifacts to set up some restrictive arrays. They were not meant to stop the Heavenly Tribulation. Rather, they were meant to guard against any outside interferences.

Chen Feng then released a strand of his aura. The grand daos sensed it and tribulation clouds began gathering and formidable Heavenly might pressed down on Chen Feng. 

This time, there should be no War Immortals anymore, right?

 Chen Feng smiled. However, when he sensed the power of the Heavenly dao coming from the tribulation clouds, the expression on Chen Feng’s face flickered.

Even though he was only a True Immortal, he had triggered the Heavenly Tribulation for a Heavenly Immortal. Chen Feng was not shocked to see that, but he was worried that the resulting commotion would attract the attention of the higher-ups of the Six Daos Sword Faction.

Six pillars, formed entirely from power, rose up from the ground to seal up Chen Feng. Seeing that, Chen Feng knew that his speculation was correct.

The immortal dao interfering with the grand dao. In the past, when I was undergoing tribulation in other worlds, the Immortal Plane would interfere again and again. This time, they actually aroused the Immortal Plane’s essence to utilize an immortal dao prison, acting in concert with the grand dao. Looks like my cultivation of the Heavenstealing Technique is not yet perfect.

 Chen Feng then took a step forward to instantly appear before one of the pillars. With a heavy punch, he blasted the 10,000-zhang-tall pillar of spiritual energy into pieces.

Quickly, the grounds quaked and three more pillars appeared. With this, eight pillars entrapped Chen Feng, each pillar standing watch over each direction.

Chen Feng smiled and stopped attacking. Instead, he quietly waited for his Heavenly Tribulation to arrive. Since the descent of the Heavenly might, Chen Feng had managed to come up with some speculations. He was not worried in the slightest about failure. All he felt was a hint of curiosity and a vaulting feeling of courage. 

When others undergo tribulation, they usually have to face the Heavenly dao. My tribulation, however, involves both the Heavenly dao and Immortal dao. Looks like I will have to extract even more immortal dao essence

. The thought had only just flashed across Chen Feng’s mind when one of the pillars shook. Dazzling light radiated outwards and a whip shot towards Chen Feng.

The Heavenly Tribulation had yet to even take action, but the Immortal Tribulation had already begun.

Stretching his hand, Chen Feng grabbed and the whip broke apart. Both his feet then pressed down heavily and a volcanic power moved deep into the ground.

This move from Chen Feng was the equivalent of an open challenge to the immortal dao. As expected, the ground rumbled and the eight pillars standing guard around him rose in number to become twelve pillars. Chen Feng thus felt a strong pressure bearing down on him. Only with this could Chen Feng experience the vastness, grandness and majesty of the immortal dao. Next, he swung out with one hand and a massive palm silhouette swept towards the surrounding pillars. At the same time, a suction force appeared on his feet as he furiously devoured the power coming from the depths of the earth.

Kacha!

The Heavenly Tribulation began and a lightning bolt the size of a water bucket descended first. Chen Feng simply allowed the lightning bolt to strike him. It was Devastation Lightning, something that Chen Feng had encountered many times before. Only, this one was of a higher quality.

Chen Feng’s body did not even shake. After striking Chen Feng’s body, the lightning attack simply disappeared. Next, wave after wave of varying lightning attacks appeared. Devastation Lightning, Profound Vajra Lightning, Great Divinespill Lightning, Cyclical Aerofire Lightning, Nine Profound Lightning. Many types of lightning attacks took turns to appear. It was as though a hole had opened up in the lightning pond of the Nine Heavens and Chen Feng’s entire body was drowned by the lightning attacks.

Weng!

In the end, a black halo of light radiated out from Chen Feng’s body and he seemingly became several notches bigger. All the lightning attacks that made contact with the black halo of light would be utterly devoured.

I can never understand. Why is my Heavenly Tribulation always such a mess? Do they think that just by having a variety of powers, they can finish me off? They don’t know anything.

 The black halo of light above Chen Feng transformed into a massive black hole which accepted everything that descended upon it. It gave off a very overbearing display.

The Heavenly Tribulation in the Immortal Plane is only so-so. It is not even as ferocious as the Immortal Tribulation

. Chen Feng then stamped his foot and an earthen dragon that had emerged at an unknown time was quaked to pieces as a result. Following that, blades of light flew out from his body to cut down the several chains tying his body up.

This was Chen Feng’s first time facing two types of tribulations. And while it appeared easy, Chen Feng knew that this was just the beginning. Overcoming his tribulation to level up was surely not going to be an easy matter.

Even though he had already set up magic arrays around the place, his concerns ended up coming true in the end. That was particularly so when considering the fact that his Heavenly Tribulation triggered the Immortal Tribulation. This incident alarmed many of the higher-ups from the Six Daos Sword Faction.

“Who? Their tribulation actually triggered the Immortal Tribulation! This is rare.”

“This person is a disciple of our sect. His name is Chen Qing. It has been several hundred years since he joined our sect as a loose cultivator. Against those on the same level as him, he is practically invincible, a genius.”

“Practically invincible? Surely not.”

“There’s no mistake about it. This was confirmed by the Six Dao Swords of Devastation. Although his background remains somewhat unclear, that is not an issue. I suggest accepting him into our sect.”

“He is indeed a genius. If he really is a loose cultivator with nowhere to go, there is no issue in paying a hefty price to recruit him. I only fear that he might be harbouring some ulterior motives.”

Only cultivators at the mid-level Heavenly Immortal stage could qualify to join this discussion. They were all characters with great authority in the Six Daos Sword Faction. And so, information about Chen Feng was quickly revealed and most of them agreed to recruit Chen Feng. There were also some who were concerned that Chen Feng might be harbouring ulterior motives.

“Let’s stop arguing for now. In the face of both the Heavenly Tribulation and Immortal Tribulation, this Chen Qing will surely end up exposing himself.”

Chen Feng was aware that these fellows would surely be spying on him. That was why he had not displayed any secret techniques related to the Longevity Clan since the start.

You fellows want to see through my cultivation state? You’ll first need to get a Gold Immortal over.

 Chen Feng scoffed inwardly. Whether or not the Six Daos Sword Faction possessed any Gold Immortals aside, even if it did, a Gold Immortal would not care about a minor character like him. As for these Heavenly Immortals who were secretly spying on him, Chen Feng simply didn’t think too highly of them.

The world-encompassing lightning attacks had ended and the ground returned to a state of tranquillity. However, the surrounding pillars of energy had grown tens of thousands of zhang taller and Chen Feng himself could sense a faint pressure bearing down on him.

For it to give me a sense of pressure, I wonder what will happen?

 Truth be told, Chen Feng would rarely utilize any secret techniques to overcome his past tribulations. Instead, he would usually rely on his monstrously strong body to endure. That was particularly true in recent years. Chen Feng had absorbed some of the power of the half-step Gold Immortal and even that of a genuine Gold Immortal, causing the might of his fleshly body to skyrocket.

Ever since the tribulation began, the defences of Chen Feng’s body had yet to fall.

The ground began shaking and the 12 pillars began spreading out pliable vines. The vines kept moving about, each movement brimming with immortal dao laws. In the end, they came together to form a net. Layer after layer of nets descended to surround Chen Feng. Next, a massive earthen dragon burst out from the ground, releasing a grand and lofty atmosphere the moment it appeared. Even the Heavenly Immortals who were secretly observing the tribulation were affected.

“That’s a War Dragon formed by the Immortal Plane’s essence power! Just what kind of cultivation technique is this fellow cultivating? He could actually trigger such an attack!” This person was a mid-level Heavenly Immortal who cultivated killing sword techniques. Despite that, the appearance of the earthen dragon brought down a strong sense of oppression down on him. He knew, if he was the one who had to face the earthen dragon, he would have a difficult time.

“This is impossible! A True Immortal cannot possible encounter such a Heavenly Tribulation. Is he using a Heaven-defying technique to cover up his true cultivation base?”

“That’s even more of an impossibility. In the face of a Heavenly Tribulation, any attempts to cover up is useless. Besides, there is also the Immortal Tribulation here.”

“Look! What’s that?”

Suddenly, the thick tribulation clouds parted and world-encompassing golden-coloured flames surged down. Chen Feng became drowned within the flames.

“That’s the Enigma Flames of the Nine Heavens! Judging by the colour, those are flames of devastation that only Heavenly Immortals like us could encounter.”

“This cultivator may be a genius. However, in the face of the attacks of the War Dragon and Enigma Flames of the Nine Heavens, whether or not he can survive is still up in the air.”

“Hard! Very hard!”

The feeling of pressure is not from these two

. Chen Feng shook his head, an impassive look on his face. Although the Enigma Flames of the Nine Heavens were strong, they could not harm him. The same was true for the War Dragon. Despite its strength, it was no match for Chen Feng.

There were vast swaths of the Enigma Flames of the Nine Heavens and they descended swiftly only to become supplementary items for Chen Feng, who gulped them all down. The onlookers were unable to see it, but Chen Feng, who devoured all the Enigma Flames of the Nine Heavens, felt dissatisfied. He felt the amount to be lacking.

Bang!

A punch from Chen Feng repelled the War Dragon’s attack. Next, a Storm of Sword Beams swept out. This one contained the power of wind, lightning, water and metal. The sword beams swept forward, shredding all in their path and the War Dragon, seemingly possessing an unparalleled might, was sliced to pieces before falling back into the ground.
