“Whether or not we can approach it is something we'll find out once we find the corpse.” Chen Feng waved his hand and the Bedazzling Star Map shrank by several notches. At the same time, the power of chaos surged into the star map.

“The environment here is very harsh. One careless mistake and even a True Immortal could lose his or her life here. If it weren't for the fact that there are people after us, I would have wanted to put them outside to let them hone themselves,” Chen Feng said. Next, the Dark Kirin and Huo Yunlong were sent out. At the same time, two streams of light flowed into their bodies, one each.

“This is the power of the pseudo-Divine artifact, but it can only defend. Fellows, be careful,” Chen Feng said.

“Don't worry. I may already be able to kill off a True Immortal,” Huo Yunlong replied with a laugh.

Observing the two flying outside, Patriarch Heavenly Sword and the others felt envious. However, there was nothing they could do about it. Outside, Ascendant Immortals were as weak as ants. Without the protection of the Bedazzling Star Map, they would have suffered from some casualties back then.

“Be careful. You have not advanced to the True Immortal stage.” Chen Feng waved his hand again and another stream of light flowed into Huo Yunlong's body. This time, it was the power of the Primary Spirit Diagram of First Origin.

“I have a feeling I may be able to advance to the True Immortal stage this time.” Huo Yunlong's eyes shone and his body hovered in s.p.a.ce. Next, he fired out a heavy punch and an asteroid the size of a small mountain was sent flying. Despite taking the full-powered attack from Huo Yunlong, the asteroid was not destroyed. Rather, not even cracks had appeared on it. That said, it did fly millions of li away, barrelling towards the True Immortals pursuing them.

“If you fellows have what it takes, then come!” Huo Yunlong fired out provocative words at them before promptly accelerating, heading deeper into the mysterious s.p.a.ce.

As for the Dark Kirin, he snickered as his whole figure disappeared, Chen Feng was not feeling concerned for the Dark Kirin. As the owner of the Dark Scripture and the future ruler of the Dark Plane, the Dark Kirin was like fish in water in this place.

“I want to go hunt a few of them.” The Dark Kirin's voice rang out beside Chen Feng's ear. Hearing that, Chen Feng's eyes narrowed. He knew that the Dark Kirin had secretly gone after the True Immortals behind them.

“This is not a good time to be taking action.” Chen Feng sighed. Next, his figure flashed to re-appear outside. However, the power of the Bedazzling Star Map continued to encase him.

“Fellows, the energy streams here are very strange. Although they contain death energy, they also make this a good place for cultivation.” With a thought from Chen Feng, a separate s.p.a.ce then appeared in the Bedazzling Star Map. Inside the s.p.a.ce were all the chaotic powers and death power that the Bedazzling Star Map had devoured from the outside s.p.a.ce.

Chen Feng had his own reasons for putting them into that separate s.p.a.ce.

“Good! My cultivation base has. .h.i.t a bottleneck. This is the time for me to enter and hone myself!” Patriarch Heavenly Sword was the first to enter. The conditions outside were unsuitable for Ascendant Immortals. Staying inside the Bedazzling Star Map was safer.

I wonder, is it possible to undergo tribulation here? Chen Feng pondered. Immediately, he released his aura. But even after having released all his aura, he saw not even the shadow of his Heavenly Tribulation. He knew then that the power of this mysterious s.p.a.ce was simply too strong, capable of even sealing up the power of the Heavenly dao.

This is a good thing. There will be no need for me to suppress my aura. Chen Feng then waved his hand and 10,000 motes of starlight were scattered about. In a flash, the motes of starlight then appeared before the True Immortals from the Immortal Plane. 

This was the power of the pseudo-Divine artifact.

Weng!

That said, the True Immortals were not to be underestimated either. Every single one of them had their own methods of dealing with the attack and they raised a thick screen to block all the incoming motes of starlight.

“Humph! If a True Immortal is the one wielding the pseudo-Divine artifact, we wouldn't chase after it. But a minor Earthen Immortal is simply too weak. You cannot even bring out 10% of the pseudo-Divine artifact's power.” One of the True Immortals, clad in silver-coloured armour, scoffed as he casually blocked the attacks. The True Immortals were already feeling highly infuriated at Chen Feng. They had chased him all the way from Eternal World to this place, spending several years for this. Granted, for True Immortals, a few years was nothing. However, thinking about how their opponent was just an Earthen Immortal, they could not stop themselves from becoming vexed.

The True Immortals had long since come to a decision. After s.n.a.t.c.hing over the pseudo-Divine artifacts, they would imprison Chen Feng's soul and burn it with spiritual fire everyday to have him die from a painful death.

Before the sneer on the silver-armoured True Immortal's face could fade away, he felt his vision going dark as everything disappeared. His six senses became sealed as he found himself inside a mysterious s.p.a.ce.

“Eh?”

Noticing the disappearance of the silver-armoured True Immortal, the others were quick to react. Some swiftly sealed up their surrounding s.p.a.ce. Even so, they failed to find anything out of the ordinary. Due to that, they began panicking.

“What happened just now?”

“I sense a hint of the power of darkness.”

“The power of darkness? Did someone secretly attack us? If so, why did we fail to notice anything? But if the other party is that capable, why resort to a sneak attack?”

“Oh, no! It's coming!”

Another True Immortal disappeared all of a sudden. This time, the True Immortals were already on guard for it. Thus, they were able to immediately notice a black hole that was in the midst of disappearing.

“Who is it? Come on out!” Several of the True Immortals attacked at the same time and the Dark Kirin's figure appeared from void s.p.a.ce. Next, however, black light flashed and the Dark Kirin disappeared again.

“It's a creature from the Dark Plane, at the True Immortal stage.”

“Just now, I sensed the aura of the Dark Scripture.”

“The Dark Scripture? It is said that only the rulers of the Dark Plane could possess the Dark Scripture. Besides, the scripture has long since gone missing. Are you mistaken?”

“It's a very pure power of darkness. I am surely not wrong about this. Do not forget, I cultivate the grand dao of darkness.” The eyes of the True Immortal who said that began flas.h.i.+ng with black light. The other True Immortals around him could see that he was highly excited.

“I don't need the pseudo-Divine artifacts, but I must get my hands on the Dark Scripture. I hope you fellows can help me with that.”

“My objective is just the pseudo-Divine artifacts. I have no interest in the Dark Scripture. We can work together.”

After firing out the attacks earlier, Chen Feng had immediately flown away, constantly flitting through the chaotic streams of energy within the mysterious s.p.a.ce there. Occasionally, he would avoid the incoming asteroids and other objects that were flying around.

“I managed to get two.” Black light flashed and the Dark Kirin appeared beside Chen Feng.

“You are just using the Dark Scripture to suppress them. You have yet to refine them up. Better not to do anything more after this.” Naturally, Chen Feng was aware of the Dark Kirin's actions.

“Don't fret. My Dark Scripture has already sealed the two of them. They can no longer come out. Though, completely refining them will take some time,” the Dark Kirin said with a smile. Chen Feng found it hard to accustom himself with the smile on the icy face.

“After refining these two True Immortals, my cultivation base will improve again. As it is, I am still incapable of mobilizing the full might of the Dark Scripture. Amongst all the past owners of the Dark Scripture, the strongest ones were all beyond the Heavenly Immortal stage. As for me, I am still far too lacking.” Perhaps it was because he had managed to capture the two True Immortals, but the Dark Kirin appeared to be in a good mood.

Chen Feng jabbed with a finger and a mote of starlight entered the Dark Kirin's body before flowing into the Dark Scripture. Upon receiving the bolstering power of a pseudo-Divine artifact, the Dark Scripture shook slightly before returning to a state of tranquillity.

“Speaking of which, I can also be considered as someone who has received a legacy from the Dark Scripture.” Chen Feng nodded his head and waved his hand to send a palm silhouette – 1,000 zhang in length – forward. Like a sharp blade, it split apart the near-tangible power of chaos in its path. However, a charging asteroid shattered apart the palm silhouette that Chen Feng sent out. Chen Feng responded by swiftly sending out the Chaos Chain, which instantly bounded the asteroid. With a tug, it then pulled the asteroid into the Bedazzling Star Map.

An asteroid that could remain intact in this environment was surely no ordinary asteroid. Bringing the asteroid into the star map would increase the star map's power slightly.

Chen Feng strode forward, the Chaos Chain swirling out in a circular motion to devour the surrounding power of chaos while sweeping aside all obstructions.

“I suddenly feel a desire to fight them now.” A bold desire suddenly rose up from Chen Feng's heart.

“We'll wait until they split up. We are no match for them if they swarm us.” The Dark Kirin shook his head.

“Huo Yunlong has encountered a problem. Let's go check it out.” Chen Feng's figure then swayed as he changed his flight trajectory. It did not take long before they found Huo Yunlong.

Huo Yunlong was inside a halo of light, formed from the power of chaos. There were also streams of black light and faint-red energy flowing amidst the halo of light. Naturally, there were no lack of asteroids coming from every direction.

However, those things were not important. The most important issue at the moment was the grey-coloured wyrm currently pursuing Huo Yunlong. The reason it was called a pursuit was because Huo Yunlong was simply no match for the grey-coloured wyrm. 

The grey-coloured wyrm was 10,000 zhang long and it exuded an atmosphere of might and imperiousness that a.s.sailed its surroundings. Its scales shone with a distinct colour while its eyes flashed with malevolent energy.

Even so, Chen Feng and the Dark Kirin were able to instantly recognize that the wyrm was formed from a strand of death energy. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was born from the death energy. It was a genuine living creature with flesh and blood.

More, it was at the True Immortal stage, already qualified to be called a Yao Emperor.

The fact that it was stronger than Huo Yunlong aside, this was also its territory. Enduring this long against it had not been an easy feat for Huo Yunlong.

“What are you guys staring at? Hurry up and save me!” Seeing reinforcements arrive, Huo Yunlong's eyes lit up and he hurriedly shouted.

“No rus.h.!.+” Chen Feng laughed and flicked his finger. Next, the Chaos Chain charged forward to disappear into the void as it rapidly enveloped the surrounding s.p.a.ce, covering a radius of millions of li.

“My Chaos Chain is about to break through!” Chen Feng laughed.

“And I'm about to get my a.s.s eaten!” Seeing Chen Feng and the Dark Kirin not helping out, Huo Yunlong began growing anxious. 

“No rus.h.!.+” Chen Feng continued, the chain links of the Chaos Chain in his hand shaking as the surrounding power of chaos was utterly devoured. Even some asteroids were sent flying away as a result of his actions.

“Looks like it will be quite hard to find the source of this s.p.a.ce,” Chen Feng said, waving his hand. Promptly, the Chaos Chain shot towards Huo Yunlong to wrap around him before instantly pulling Huo Yunlong over to Chen Feng and the Dark Kirin. As for the grey-coloured wyrm, it silently pounced towards the three of them.

In the face of the grey-coloured wyrm's charge, the Dark Kirin took a step forward. The Dark Scripture hovering above his head then fired out a beam of black light, which encased the grey-coloured wyrm. After the black light was retracted, the wyrm had disappeared along with it.

“Just like that? This is the might of a True Immortal!” Huo Yunlong gaped at what he saw.

“By unleas.h.i.+ng its full power, the Dark Scripture can even seal up Heavenly Immortals. However, I also need to first reach the Heavenly Immortal stage.” The Dark Kirin beckoned and the Dark Scripture transformed into a black stream of light before entering his body.
