Bang!

A booming sound rang out as the Longevity Lance in the clone's hand charged forward and the nether power from the Netherbone Lance contained within it instantly pierced the black talon.

In the face of the power of an Immortal artefact, the mid-level Yao Immortal water yao instantly roared as it fell limply to the ground, no longer capable of fighting anymore.

Seeing what happened shocked the other three water yaos. Next, Chen Feng's clone dashed away. With a grasping motion, the Longevity Blade appeared in his hand and he swung to create a pa.s.sageway. Deploying the Longevity Steps, he then quickly fled.

“Hurry, chase him!”

The wounded water yao roared.

Sou! Sou!

Two of the other water yaos rushed forward to pursue the clone while one remained behind to guard the place.

Quite cautious. Chen Feng's figure shook and yet another clone emerged. This time, the clone Chen Feng created charged forward while wielding the Lightning Bead.

Boom!

Charging forward, this second clone mobilized the Lightning Bead to attack the water yaos. The Lightning Bead was already a high-grade Dao artefact. With one attack, the water yao who was wounded earlier failed to endure and its body blew up, reduced to a pool of blood.

Roar!

The other water yao roared skywards and formidable energy fluctuations reverberated across a radius of 50,000 kilometres. Brandishing a double-sided halberd, it stopped the Lightning Bead's attack.

Boom! Boom!

The Lightning Bead smashed down again, quaking the water yao's body to the point where blood began flowing out from its wounds. However, the clone began turning faint, the power within it quickly diminishing.

Weng! Weng! Weng!

Formidable waves of energy fluctuations came from afar. The water yao's reinforcements had arrived.

Sou!

Still holding the Lightning Bead, Chen Feng's second clone fled.

After hesitating for just a moment, the water yao gave chase. It had set its sights upon the Lightning Bead. A high-grade Dao artefact was quite a good magic treasure.

Not to mention, reinforcements had already arrived. There was nothing for it to worry.

Do I collect it?

Looking at the gem-like fountain before him, Chen Feng hesitated. In the end, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand to collect all the waters from the fountain.

Chen Feng did not pull up the entire fountain. He only needed the fountain's water. Not utilizing a method that would kill off the fountain was only natural. Doing so was a violation of the harmony of Heaven.

After collecting the fountain water, Chen Feng instantly used it to water the Domain Tree. Notions of joy emanated out from the Domain Tree and it began growing.

Let's go!

After collecting the fountain's water, Chen Feng's figure dashed forward, making his way through the broken barrier as he rushed forward. However, it did not take long before he caught sight of three Yao Immortals charging over from three different directions.

Not daring to be careless, Chen Feng was quick to cloak himself, only continuing to move ahead after they had moved away.

Those three were all mid-level Yao Immortals.

At that very moment, Chen Feng was wondering how the Divine Domain Fountain looked like. He had already encountered tens of Yao Immortals so far. This level of power was enough to destroy any large sect in the world of cultivation.

Once again, Chen Feng found another gem-like fountain with three water yaos standing guard over it. On Chen Feng's end, he wondered if he should reveal himself, taking action to s.n.a.t.c.h the fountain's water. By then, Chen Feng had come to the conclusion that sneakily moving ahead was no longer possible.

Forget it, then. Let's attack. I'll take as much as I can. Chen Feng then brought out the Domain Geocompa.s.s as he made ready to attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly intense energy fluctuations spread over from every direction. All of them were the result of battles.

Others have charged in as well. Looks like these fellows are experts. Good. The more chaotic it gets, the better. Chen Feng then waved his hand and a compressed fireball flew forward.

It exploded with a boom. Although an attack of this level could not harm the three Yao Immortals, the formidable eruption of the power of fire did come into conflict with the power of water there. The resulting aftermath was quite good.

The collision between water and fire caused smoke to spread out, engulfing the three Yao Immortals.

Chen Feng did not falter. The Domain Geocompa.s.s' power encased him before transforming into a stream of light, which flashed forward. Along the way, Chen Feng also collected the fountain's water.

“Someone s.n.a.t.c.hed away the spiritual fountain!”

“d.a.m.n it, kill!”

“Die!”

The three Yao Immortals moved to surround Chen Feng in a '品' shape. Their formidable auras fusing to form a barrier.

This barrier was even more effective compared to the barrier formed using magic arrays. It could lock down the aura of their opponent, a very good barrier.

Evade! Chen Feng did not choose to engage the Yao Immortals in a fight. Instead, he utilized the Domain Evasion Technique to break out from the barrier before quickly disappearing from sight.

“Chase him!”

The waters of their spiritual fountain s.n.a.t.c.hed away, the water yaos could not simply let it slide. However, a spear suddenly appeared to sweep about ferociously, knocking the three Yao Immortals aside.

A formidable cultivator then descended.

With a mighty body clad in black clothes, the aura he emanated was strong. After sweeping the three Yao Immortals away, he glanced around and said, “To think that someone would beat me to it.”

Shua!

Next, he transformed into a stream of light and rushed forward. The three Yao Immortals had wanted to stop him, but he was already out of sight by then.

“How many years has it been since a human cultivator managed to break their way in here? Kill! We must kill them all!”

“Summon more reinforcements!”

The three Yao Immortals took action at the same time. However, they did not rush after Chen Feng and the cultivator. Instead, they went to gather the other Yao Immortals.

Chen Feng alone was not an issue. However, the spear-wielding cultivator was too strong.

…

“Little fellow, where are you from?”

Chen Feng had been moving forward when he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him. Despite his shock, he maintained a calm look on his face.

“Artefact Sect. How should I address senior?” Chen Feng asked smilingly.

Sou!

A mighty, spear-wielding cultivator appeared beside Chen Feng. A glance from him caused Chen Feng to feel his whole body turning cold. It felt as though he had entered a land of ice and snow.

So strong! He is a high-level Earthen Immortal! Chen Feng was able to instantly determine this cultivator's level of strength.

“A Human Immortal could enter this far with just one magic treasure? I don't believe it. Kid, let me test your abilities.” The spear wielder then grasped at Chen Feng.

Weng!

In the face of the grasping move, Chen Feng felt the Domain Geocompa.s.s on the verge of separating from him. This was a high-level Earthen Immortal, after all. He was far stronger than Chen Feng.

Left with no other options, Chen Feng had to resort to utilizing the Immortal artefact's power. The aura of the Heaven Piercing Lance flashed out, stabbing at the incoming palm.

“Eh?!”

The spear wielder was surprised and he quickly retracted his palm, his figure flashing to evade the attack.

Instantly, Chen Feng felt the pressure on him lightening and he recovered. Even the Domain Geocompa.s.s was once again rotating slowly.

“So, you possess an Immortal artefact. No wonder. Very well. I do have some relationship with your Artefact Sect's patriarchs. I will not be taking action against you, then. However, you want to compete with me for the Divine Domain Fountain? You are still too wet behind the ears. I'll be going ahead, kid!”

After saying that, the spear wielder sped up and he quickly disappeared from sight. Later, however, his voice came over. “By the way, I forgot to tell you. There are some formidable fellows behind you. Be careful.”

Sigh! Every time I get into these kinds of situation, experts would appear. Still, with their appearance, the situation would devolve into chaos, allowing me to fish in troubled waters. Chen Feng was not worried about the appearance of experts. At any rate, he was not confident that he could deal with so many Yao Immortals alone.

Come back.

With a thought from Chen Feng, the two clones he sent out quickly returned to re-enter his body.

Domain Tree, feel around. Do you know where the Divine Domain Fountain is? Chen Feng stopped suppressing the Domain Tree. Given the present situation, taking action secretly was his best option.

Sou!

One thick root after another emerged from the Longevity Tower, piercing void s.p.a.ce as they did. Instantly, Chen Feng could sense the roots piercing through many layers of void s.p.a.ce to reach a fountain. Next, the fountain's water was extracted. Moving through the roots, the fountain's water then flowed into the Longevity Tower.

Those were the roots of the Domain Tree. Their abilities far exceeded Chen Feng's expectations. Surprisingly, they had successfully pierced through the void to extract the water from the Divine Domain Fountain.

If only I'd known that it would be so easy, I wouldn't have wasted all that effort to sneak in. Chen Feng felt somewhat vexed thinking about it.

Sou! Sou!

Seemingly not satisfied with the rate of absorption, the Domain Tree sent out two more thick roots forward to begin extracting even more water from the Divine Domain Fountain.

The Domain Tree began growing at a rapid rate. With every pa.s.sing moment, it would grow a notch bigger. This rate of growth had exceeded the one it experienced when receiving the blessings of the will of the world.

Chen Feng himself felt so excited that he was at a loss for words.

Good! Now, I can slowly and secretly absorb the fountain water. There is no need to advance at all.

Due to the Domain Tree's existence, Chen Feng was finally able to see the Divine Domain Fountain. It was a ma.s.sive fountain with a radius of 50 kilometres. Unlike the previous fountains that shone with a gem-like l.u.s.tre, this one was faint-grey in colour. It was like the colour of chaos.

Chen Feng knew why. It was because the domain power contained within the fountain had reached a certain limit. It was such that it was able to attain the colour of chaos essence.

At the same time, Chen Feng was also able to speculate the origin of this Divine Domain Fountain. The Domain World's essence power was domain power. However, essence power could also transform into various types of wondrous existences. This Divine Domain Fountain that even Ascendant Immortals would fight over was the transformed product of this world's essence power.

For Chen Feng, this was a form of cosmic essence power. Only, it had manifested itself in a different form. By absorbing and refining the water, Chen Feng would also be able to promote the progress of his cultivation of a Chaos Const.i.tution. At that moment, however, it was clear that the Domain Tree needed the water more than him.

Hurry, hurry! Chen Feng cautiously regarded his surroundings while urging the Domain Tree to exert an even greater suction force.

In the end, the Domain Tree grew to a height of 180,000 zhang, double that its previous height. This rate of growth caused Chen Feng to worry. He worried that it might overload and blow up the tree.

As predicted, after reaching a height of 200,000 zhang, the Domain Tree's rate of growth slowed down. However, the rate at which it was absorbing the Divine Domain Fountain did not decrease at all.

The extra fountain water absorbed was temporarily kept inside the Longevity Tower.

This is good! With a thought from Chen Feng, a drop of the fountain water fell upon his palm before melding into his body.

Boom!

Instantly, Chen Feng felt as though eight volcanoes had erupted from within him. Eight existences fought one another for that one drop of fountain water. Seeing no other options, Chen Feng began absorbing one drop of fountain water after another.
