Everlasting Chapter 1048 Subduing A True Immortal

“Which part of the Celestial Longevity Plane are you from?” Chen Feng asked.

“What qualifications do you have to be interrogating me? What of you? Which part are you from?” the cyan-armoured cultivator retorted with a scoff.

Chen Feng did not say anything. Instead, he flicked his finger and a drop of blood flew forward to suddenly spread out, forming a symbol. Sensing the coercive atmosphere of power coming from the symbol, the cyan-armoured cultivator, a mid-level True Immortal, kept backing away.

“The imperial family! You are a member of the imperial family!” the cyan-armoured cultivator blurted out, his voice becoming a shout as shock was etched upon his face.

“So what if you are a member of the imperial family? By fusing your blood with mine, my cultivation talent will increase!” A sombre look glinted across the cyan-armoured cultivator's eyes and he made up his mind. In order to avoid having more unexpected variables pop up, he directly launched an attack at Chen Feng.

In the cyan-armoured cultivator's opinion, as someone possessing the cultivation base at the mid-level True Immortal stage and a pseudo-Divine artifact, defeating a minor cultivator like Chen Feng should be a piece of cake. Furthermore, Chen Feng was also a member of the Longevity Clan's imperial family who was in possession of a Longevity Tower. Most people would be incapable of resisting this temptation.

Chen Feng said nothing in the face of the attack. He simply waved his hand to bring the Longevity Tower out before him. Seeing the Longevity Tower appear, the cyan-armoured cultivator's heart lurched slightly.

“This Longevity Tower is mine!”

The cyan-armoured cultivator became even more excited.

In the Celestial Longevity Plane, only members of the imperial family would have the qualifications to forge out Longevity Towers. Moreover, a great deal of power was also needed for this endeavour. And while the cyan-armoured cultivator was a True Immortal, he had only seen the Longevity Tower a few times before.

Next, the Longevity Tower abruptly released a wave of power. This wave of power was neither an offensive attack nor did it possess tangibility. And yet, the cyan-armoured cultivator reacted as though he had just seen a ghost. He shrieked loudly and his aura began weakening from that of a mid-level True Immortal to a starter-level True Immortal.

“The real deal. It's the real Longevity Tower!” the cyan-armoured cultivator cried out in horror.

“Aren't you going to kneel?” Chen Feng shouted.

A struggling look appeared upon the cyan-armoured cultivator's face before he finally roared. Gripping his spear, he then attempted to break out.

Kneeling down here meant completely falling under the control of others. As a True Immortal, even in the face of danger, he had to fight.

“Even back when you possessed the strength of a mid-level True Immortal, you were incapable of breaking out. And now, you are already affected by the Longevity Tower's suppressive effect,” Chen Feng said coolly. The Longevity Tower possessed an innate ability to suppress all the cultivators from the Celestial Longevity Plane. This ability was presently put on display to give off a surprisingly good result. 

Additionally, it was while the Longevity Tower had yet to fully recover. At its prime, the Longevity Tower would be able to incinerate this True Immortal with just a thought. Of course, Chen Feng was also not strong enough to do that.

That said, it was already strong enough to deal with this cyan-armoured cultivator. Two pseudo-Divine artifacts and the Longevity Tower radiated their power at the same time, causing the spear in the cyan-armoured cultivator's hand to fall away while the cyan-armoured cultivator himself fell on all fours before the Longevity Tower, incapable of moving anymore.

Suddenly, Tower extended a finger to jab forward with it and the cyan-armoured cultivator's body responded with a shudder. A deathly pale look had appeared in his eyes.

“Mercy. Mercy.”

Now that it had come to this, despite his cultivation age of millions of years, this True Immortal began begging for mercy.

The Longevity Tower had utterly suppressed him. One thought from Tower was enough to kill him off.

Chen Feng stretched his hand out and grasped. Next, the cyan-armoured cultivator's spear flew into his grip. Immediately, he felt as though he was holding a world in his hands.

“Oh, this has only just reached the pseudo-Divine tier. Refining a magic treasure to the pseudo-Divine tier is something that most True Immortals would be incapable of doing. Looks like you gained quite a lot here. Hand over the items on you. If I am satisfied, I can spare your life,” Chen Feng said smilingly, his hand holding onto the spear.

It had been a long time since the Longevity Tower took action. That was especially so since Chen Feng obtained the two pseudo-Divine artifacts. And now, it had so easily suppressed a mid-level True Immortal. Certainly, the fact that it was the princ.i.p.al Divine artifact of the Celestial Longevity Plane was a factor here. But even so, its feat had still shocked Chen Feng somewhat. The Longevity Tower had managed to recover some more of its power.

The cyan-armoured cultivator gritted his teeth and said nothing. As a True Immortal who had been exploring outer s.p.a.ce for so many years, it was only natural for him to have gained a lot. To be unwilling to bring out his gains throughout the years was unsurprising.

“Looks like you refuse. No matter how you cut it, you are still someone who had cultivated up to the True Immortal stage. Can you still not see it? Must you keep on with it until the point of no return?” Chen Feng said, grasping again. This time, a stream of essence, energy and soul power flew out from the cyan-armoured cultivator's body. Next, Chen Feng devoured it.

“The Heavengulping Absorption Technique! Just who are you?!” The cyan-armoured cultivator grew terrified once again.

The amount of essence, energy and soul power that Chen Feng had absorbed earlier was actually quite small, but his actions became like a nail of terror, hammered into the cyan-armoured cultivator's heart.

Chen Feng himself did not stop. A black hole exerting an endless suction force appeared on his palm to leisurely devour the cyan-armoured cultivator's essence, energy and soul power.

“Let's see just how long you can endure,” Chen Feng said.

The speed at which the cyan-armoured cultivator began begging for mercy exceeded Chen Feng's expectations. The cyan-armoured cultivator conceded before Chen Feng had his fill of his essence, energy and soul power. After that, the cyan-armoured cultivator brought out all the treasures that he had collected.

Regarding the mountainous pile of treasures now stacked inside the Longevity Tower, Chen Feng burst into laughter.

“Robbing these True Immortals is quite the rewarding profession. Even exploring outer s.p.a.ce for 10,000 years might not net me this much,” Chen Feng said with a smile.

Chen Feng was very generous with the spoils. He had distributed a good chunk of the spoils he obtained along the way to the cultivators from the East Dragon Island Alliance. Chen Feng knew that returning to Eternal World will not be easy. Having these cultivators grow stronger would give him more confidence.

“Tell me about yourself,” Chen Feng said to the cyan-armoured cultivator.

This time, the cyan-armoured cultivator did not react in an arrogant manner. Instead, he informed Chen Feng of everything he knew.

“You are from the Department of Heavenly Yang. No wonder you would cultivate the yang-type soul power.” Chen Feng nodded.

“I now understand your background. Now, tell me about what's happening in the Celestial Longevity Plane.”

“It's been 300,000 years since I left the Celestial Longevity Plane, so I do not know about what's been happening recently…” True Immortal Soulboost then informed Chen Feng about the affairs of the Celestial Longevity Plane before he left.

Chen Feng grew silent for a long time after hearing it.

“Is the Celestial Longevity Plane declining already? Even so, I believe that it is still not something that the Immortal Plane could match.”

“The Immortal Plane has been expanding aggressively. They have already become a threat to the Myriad Celestial Planes,” True Immortal Soulboost said.

“Very well. Now, you have two choices. First, I kill you and devour your soul and power. Second, pledge your allegiance to me. The way I see it, the chance to pledge your allegiance to the owner of the Longevity Tower should be a blessing acc.u.mulated from your previous life, no?” Chen Feng said smilingly.

“Pledge my allegiance to you?” True Immortal Soulboost's eyes flickered and it was unknown just what went on through his mind.

“You have no other choices,” Chen Feng said, waving his hand. The Longevity Tower rotated as it hovered above his palm. In the face of the coercive aura of power from the tower, True Immortal Soulboost could not even find the will to fight back.

“I'm unable to accept it,” True Immortal Soulboost said in a whisper.

“Follow me and you will have a bright future. If you don't, you will face utter obliteration. You only have one breath's worth of time to decide.” Chen Feng had already raised the spear in his hand, ready to stab forward with it.

“I am willing to pledge my allegiance to you.”

Due to the pressure, True Immortal Soulboost had no other choice but to do so. A stream of light flew out from his glabella and was collected by Chen Feng. It was his soul imprint. After refining it, Chen Feng would have control over his life, making it impossible for him to resist Chen Feng.

“Just follow me with peace of mind. As long as you contribute, I will return your soul imprint to you in the future,” Chen Feng said, returning the spear – a pseudo-Divine artifact – to True Immortal Soulboost. Chen Feng had already gained complete control over True Immortal Soulboost. Thus, he was not afraid that True Immortal Soulboost might try something.

Accepting his weapon, True Immortal Soulboost said nothing. He was feeling terribly distressed. It might have been somewhat acceptable if he had to submit to a formidable cultivator. And yet, this person he had to accept as his master was just an Ascendant Immortal.

Though, thinking about how Chen Feng was in possession of the Longevity Tower, he felt much better about it.

After having subdued his opponent, Chen Feng then waved his hand and the two of them re-appeared in the outside s.p.a.ce once more.

“You've been here for a long time. Do eruptions like these happen often?”

“This is my first time witnessing something like this as well. In the past, this spatial crevice would occasionally only spray out two or three items. Even in cases where there are more, it would only go up to around ten items. Up until now, it had only sprayed out over 100 items,” True Immortal Soulboost said.

“Take action, then. Whatever you obtain will be yours,” Chen Feng said, mobilizing his pseudo-Divine artifacts to seal the surrounding s.p.a.ce. Instantly, several more treasures were collected.

After an indeterminate amount of time, the entire s.p.a.ce abruptly turned silent. The spatial crevice then closed up before disappearing.

“What happened? Since I came here, this spatial crevice has always been here, not moving at all throughout the years. Why did it suddenly disappear?” Premier Golden Earth cried out in shock.

“I've always been standing guard here. I saw nothing unusual,” True Immortal Soulboost said. As the Longevity Tower was no longer suppressing him, his cultivation base had returned to the mid-level True Immortal stage once more.

Huo Yunlong and Premier Golden Earth had been highly shocked to see that Chen Feng was able to subdue a True Immortal, but neither of them forwarded any questions regarding the situation.

“Since there is no longer anything good here, let's leave. We'll head deeper,” Chen Feng said.

It was then that golden light tore through s.p.a.ce to illuminate the entire surrounding s.p.a.ce. Countless golden-coloured bolts of lightning then appeared in the blink of an eye, sweeping towards Chen Feng and the others.

“It's Mystgold Void Lightning! It is capable of endangering even True Immortals! Is someone launching a sneak attack against us?” True Immortal Soulboost said, waving his hand to send a wheel of golden light forward. Like a blazing sun, it emanated halo after halo of light to stop the majority of the Mystgold Void Lightning.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, grasped and starlight flashed out to collect the remaining lightning powers into the pseudo-Divine artifact. Those lightning powers were good materials for refining magic treasures.

All of the golden-coloured lightning powers were thus dealt with by the two of them. Suddenly, the torn s.p.a.ce exploded to release an even more dazzling golden radiance. This time, the golden light pierced through the starry s.p.a.ce, akin to a golden river of stars.

“Surprisingly, it is a golden-coloured pa.s.sageway. I wonder where it leads to.” Chen Feng and the others grew shocked.

“Let me check it out,” Huo Yunlong said, waving to send forth a fire crow, which swiftly disappeared into the golden pa.s.sageway.

Soon, however, he shook his head and said, “I lost contact with it.”

“Let me try as well,” the Dark Kirin said and a clump of black shadows emerged from his body, transforming into a black stream of light to charge into the golden pa.s.sageway.
