After all the stages that Chen Feng had to overcome throughout the years, breaking his way forward from the 1st palace hall to the last one, Chen Feng's overall strength had undergone a world-shaking transformation. His combat power had grown at least 10 times stronger. Even the ordinary half-step Gold Immortal was no longer a match for him. By utilizing his magic treasures, he would be able to even hold his own against a Gold Immortal's clone. Naturally, his Heavenly Tribulation was also looming. In fact, Chen Feng was already thinking which Gold Immortal he should challenge after he overcame his Heavenly Tribulation.
Although the four Gold Immortals controlling this place had died, Chen Feng was still incapable of leaving. His Heavenly Tribulation would immediately descend upon him once he emerged outside. His cultivation base had become too strong and not even the Heavenstealing Technique would be able to stop the Heavenly dao from sensing him.
Additionally, Chen Feng also needed some time to deal with some other matters. While the primary spirits of the four Gold Immortals had been broken apart, Chen Feng had still been able to extract the essence within those broken fragments. In other words, he had obtained the legacies of the four Gold Immortals. Only, devouring and refining all of them would take a very long time.
Reaching this point had been very tiring on him. And so, Chen Feng returned to the 99th palace hall, entering a cultivation state as he waited. As expected, it did not take long before the surviving cultivators entered the palace hall. They all cast a look of surprise at Chen Feng.
Qing Shan, Duan Shuiliu, the variant wyrm and an extrterrestrial creature of chaos. Only four managed to survive.
“Fellows, it's been a while,” Chen Feng said with a smile.
“Brother Chen, what happened just now?” Qing Shan asked affably. Back then, all four of them had been facing off against the obstructions of their respective palace halls when the obstructions – all of them – disappeared. Due to that, they were able to come all the way to this final palace hall unimpeded.
“It's very simple. I made it through to the final stage,” Chen Feng replied. With a glance, he was able to easily see through their cultivation states.
“Fellows, congratulations for surviving this long. Speaking of which, you should thank me. If it weren't for me, you fellows would have died once you failed to overcome the stages waiting for you,” Chen Feng said.
“You made it through to the final stage?” The variant wyrm's face suddenly turned dark.
“If so, you've also obtained the treasures in the end.”
Qing Shan and Duan Shuiliu turned to look at one another, shock etched upon their faces. The two of them were well aware of the difficulties involved in pa.s.sing the later stages. Amongst the four of them, Qing Shan had been in the lead. And yet, he was only at the 76th palace hall just now. More, he was already at his limits. There was a real possibility of him dying in the very next palace hall. In his opinion, the other three cultivators behind him were definitely no match for him. And yet, Chen Feng had actually made it to the final palace hall. How inconceivable!
As the two of them were feeling astounded, the variant wyrm and the extrterrestrial creature of chaos began pressuring Chen Feng.
“Hand over the treasures that you've obtained.” The variant wyrm took a step forward and vigorous blood energy surged out. His actions caused Qing Shan and Duan Shuiliu to involuntarily back away.
Chen Feng, on the other hand, remained unmoved.
“If it weren't for me, all of you would have died,” Chen Feng said.
“I don't care how you made it to the final stage, right now, just hand over the treasures!” the extrterrestrial creature of chaos shouted and a semi-transparent silhouette of his original body emerged, causing the s.p.a.ce-time around Chen Feng to promptly change.
“A variant wyrm and a s.p.a.ce-time extrterrestrial creature. Both possess good genes and talents. In the future, you two will be able to advance to the Gold Immortal stage. It would be a waste for you two to die here.” Chen Feng shook his head, indifferent to the threats that they were making. Instead, his hand grasped and the Six Daos x.x.x appeared.
“Is this what you guys want?” Chen Feng asked, smiling.
“A mid-grade Divine artifact!”
“The Six Daos x.x.x!”
All four of them exclaimed and a look of greed flashed across their eyes. As for the variant wyrm and the s.p.a.ce-time extrterrestrial creature, their hands shot out in an attempt to grab the Six Daos x.x.x.
Boom!
Chen Feng promptly got to his feet and a formidable power surged out from his body. Before Duan Shuiliu and Qing Shan, who were nearby, could tell what just happened, the variant wyrm and the s.p.a.ce-time extrterrestrial creature had been sent flying.
Roar!
Boom!
The variant wyrm was already a half-step Gold Immortal to begin with. After all these years honing himself, his strength had risen greatly. By leaving this place, he would likely be able to overcome his Heavenly Tribulation to become a Gold Immortal. Then, he would be much harder to deal with. On the other hand, the s.p.a.ce-time extrterrestrial creature was slightly weaker. That said, he was also already infinitely close to the half-step Gold Immortal stage.
After Chen Feng's move sent them flying, the two of them transformed into their original bodies at the same time and their combat powers rose rapidly. Next, two pillars of light – formed from concentrated power – shot towards Chen Feng.
Shua!
Chen Feng disappeared from the spot.
Bang! Bang!
The variant wyrm and the s.p.a.ce-time extrterrestrial creature were sent flying once more. The s.p.a.ce-time extrterrestrial creature, the weaker of the two, had yet to even get up when the Divine Sun Needle pierced his body. Next, the Primary Spirit Diagram of First Origin transformed into chains to tie him up. In the beginning, the s.p.a.ce-time extrterrestrial creature struggled furiously against the chains, but Chen Feng then sent in a Soul Lock Talisman into the s.p.a.ce-time extrterrestrial creature's sea of wisdom and he fell utterly still.
“I'll give you once chance to attack.” The Longevity Wings on Chen Feng's back flapped as he kept s.h.i.+fting his position. On the other side, the variant wyrm kept bellowing furiously. However, his eyes revealed that his state of mind was very firm. He had managed to determine Chen Feng's true power from the previous exchange. Although this Chen Feng was only a True Immortal, the sense of pressure that he was giving him exceeded that of the obstructions that he had to face in the palace halls.
Turning to look at the captured s.p.a.ce-time extrterrestrial creature, a foreboding sensation rose to the fore.
“You two! What are you s.p.a.cing out for? Are you waiting for this kid to take us down one by one?” Suddenly, the variant wyrm turned and directed his words at Qing Shan and Duan Shuiliu.
In the beginning, both Qing Shan and Duan Shuiliu had a.s.sumed that it would be the same as back then, that those who attacked Chen Feng would be targeted by the laws of this place. But after seeing the exchange, they realized that such was not the case. Only, when they sensed the astonis.h.i.+ng aura of suppression from Chen Feng, the two of them exchanged glances before taking a few steps back.
Chen Feng could instantly take down even the s.p.a.ce-time extrterrestrial creature. Partic.i.p.ating in this fight was akin to striking a stone with eggs.
Sou!
The variant wyrm's ma.s.sive body charged towards Chen Feng, blood energy seeping out from his body to envelop the surrounding s.p.a.ce. Next, a blazing sun burst out from his sharp draconic talon to emanate waves of devastating light.
The variant wyrm was no fool. He was using his formidable physical might to suppress his opponent.
“This fellow is pus.h.i.+ng himself beyond his limits right from the get go.” Ice kept forming all around Duan Shuiliu's body. Even so, the ice could not stop the surging waves of heat.
Before Qing Shan was a thick layer of light. Like Duan Shuiliu, in the face of the variant wyrm's power, the suit of armour he wore began turning red-hot.
“I don't think this guy's going to make it.” Qing Shan kept a close eye on the battle.
“What? You think that Chen Feng can defeat this monstrous wyrm?” Duan Shuiliu furrowed his brows.
“Naturally.”
“Why do you say that?”
“Gut feeling. Chen Feng is too confident. Can someone who managed to go all the way up to the 99th stage fail to deal with this wyrm?” Qing Shan said with a smile.
By then, Chen Feng was already clas.h.i.+ng against the variant wyrm. The Longevity Wings transcended s.p.a.ce-time and what appeared like some simple flashes through the battlefield was actually Chen Feng moving several times through the many folds of s.p.a.ce. The variant wyrm was truly strong. More, he was also gifted with his own unique skills. However, failing to lock down Chen Feng's position meant that all of that was useless.
“I also think that Chen Feng can win. Rather, it will be an overwhelming victory,” Duan Shuiliu suddenly said.
“And why do you say that?” This time, it was Qing Shan's turn to feel puzzled.
“That s.p.a.ce-time extrterrestrial creature is not to be underestimated. His combat power is not much lower compared to the variant wyrm's combat power. Moreover, look at Chen Feng's Longevity Wings. I know a bit about the Longevity Clan. Even amongst Heavenly Immortals, there are only a handful amongst them that could cultivate that technique to this level. And then there's Chen Feng's life force. It is already on par with that of a half-step Gold Immortal. Additionally, it feels like he also has a somewhat special const.i.tution.” Duan Shuiliu slowly a.n.a.lysed it.
“I sense it too. It feels like that legendary const.i.tution. However, it just feels unbelievable.” Qing Shan nodded.
“After I return to the Immortal Plane, I will be able to confirm it by checking around.” Even as he spoke, Duan Shuiliu's gaze never left Chen Feng. He completely ignored the variant wyrm, his pupils expanding as he kept a.n.a.lysing Chen Feng's strength.
Boom!
Chen Feng, who had been s.h.i.+fting around all this time, suddenly stopped. Next, he clashed with the variant wyrm head on and a series of booming sounds rang out from Chen Feng's body. Swiftly spinning his body, Chen Feng then unravelled the power behind his opponent's attack.
Although the variant wyrm appeared to be in a much better position, he stopped attacking. There was a slight look of horror on his face as he regarded Chen Feng. He was a half-step Gold Immortal, and a variant wyrm to boot. His blood energy was extremely formidable. And yet, a kid at the True Immortal stage had managed to take him head on. Was he dreaming?
Next, however, the variant wyrm's ma.s.sive body charged towards Chen Feng once more. There was only one thought left in his mind. To destroy this annoying kid.
“Soul Subduing Mantra!”
Chen Feng, who was swiftly spinning, drew an arc across the air to appear before the variant wyrm and the attack that he had prepared long ago entered the variant wyrm's sea of wisdom.
Immediately, the variant wyrm's ma.s.sive body became several notches slower. As for Chen Feng, he promptly brought out the Soul Demise Bow. Pulling the bowstring, light flashed out and a flower of blood blossomed from the wyrm's body.
This normal attack from the Soul Demise Bow had not managed to do much to the Gold Immortals back then. But now, it inflicted a grievous wound upon this variant wyrm.
Roar!
The variant wyrm raged, but the Longevity Wings flapped rapidly and two hurricanes swept forward – one from the left and one from the right – to stop the variant wyrm.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Three beams of light flashed out consecutively and three flowers of blood bloomed from the variant wyrm's body.
The variant wyrm's ma.s.sive body contained vigorous power. Although the attacks from Chen Feng was painful, they were not fatal. Rather, it did not feel particularly threatening. However, should Chen Feng be allowed to continue attacking like this with his peerless speed, he would become nothing more than a moving target.
It did not take long before the variant wyrm's body was utterly filled with blood. b.l.o.o.d.y holes everywhere, scales falling off and ravaged flesh hanging loosely. His formidable blood energy simply did not have enough time to heal the ever-rising number of wounds.
“How miserable,” Qing Shan blurted. The eyelids of the s.p.a.ce-time extrterrestrial creature who was tied up twitched. He felt glad that he was tied up right from the start.
