“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Hearing those words, Chen Feng abruptly burst into laughter.
“You're courting death!”
The blood cultivator grew furious. With a wave of his hand, he sent a b.l.o.o.d.y lance stabbing towards Chen Feng. In his opinion, this sudden attack would surely be capable of killing off Chen Feng.
Chen Feng, though, merely shook the Blood Mustering Bead in his hand slightly in response. A ray of b.l.o.o.d.y light shot forward to send both the blood cultivator and his b.l.o.o.d.y lance flying.
Sou! Sou!
Blood cultivators were unlike cultivators from other worlds. They did not care about rules at all. Concepts like bullying with a higher cultivation level or numbers did not matter to them. Thus, the moment Chen Feng sent the blood cultivator flying, three blood cultivators instantly rushed forward to attack Chen Feng.
Once again, Chen Feng merely shook the Blood Mustering Bead slightly. The three blood cultivators who rushed at him then felt their blood streams falling into a state of chaos. The strength behind their attacks suddenly fell by 30%. It was then that Bi Qing stepped forward. A cyan-coloured sword beam flashed forward. As a result, all three had their arms severed and blood gushed out profusely. However, the three of them rapidly summoned their severed arms as they retreated. Next, they reconnected their arms.
“Looks like you fellows want to continue attacking!” Chen Feng laughed skywards, the Blood Mustering Bead in his hand spinning rapidly to release whistling sounds. b.l.o.o.d.y light shone with a dazzling quality and the 30 plus Ascendant Immortals on the opposing side revealed discomforted looks. On the other hand, the Ascendant Immortals on Chen Feng's side appeared unaffected.
After having levelled up to the Immortal tier, the Blood Mustering Bead began unleashing a prowess that went beyond Chen Feng's imaginations. It was important to note that the Blood Mustering Bead had only just levelled up recently. Given time, Chen Feng believed that the wondrous aspects of the Blood Mustering Bead would gradually be revealed.
No matter what, the Blood Mustering Bead would be devouring them. Should the blood cultivators decide they did not want to compromise, Chen Feng's side would still have no issues charging out.
“Hold! Young fellow, what do you want to discuss?” Suddenly, someone amongst the blood cultivators spoke up. The moment he did, the rest fell silent and backed away.
In the Blood Plane, might is right. Clearly, this blood cultivator was the strongest amongst them all.
“My name is Chen Feng. How should I address you, fellow friend?” Chen Feng said smilingly, unafraid of any sudden attacks from the blood cultivator.
“You can address me as Prince Blood Edge!”
Despite his cultivation base at the mid-level Ascendant Immortal stage, this Prince Blood Edge had a very handsome appearance. Furthermore, he appeared slightly younger than Chen Feng. He wore purple-coloured armour and strands of blood-coloured light swirled around him.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Feng said, “Prince Blood Edge, this should be your first time coming to Eternal World. You probably do not know much about this place, right?”
“No, we have a great deal of knowledge about this place. More, we also have a great deal of knowledge about many other worlds.” Prince Blood Edge waved his hand, a curious expression on his face as he regarded Chen Feng.
Chen Feng was presently only an Earthen Immortal. And yet, he could cause Prince Blood Edge, an Ascendant Immortal, to feel threatened.
“I don't think you know the current state of Eternal World,” Chen Feng said again.
“Ha ha ha! Friend, you are wrong again. We also know a bit about the current state of Eternal World, otherwise we would not have casually sent this force over.” A mocking look flashed across Prince Blood Edge's face.
“If you know the current situation, that's for the best. Only, I don't think your information is detailed enough. More accurately, you are unable to see the current situation properly.” Chen Feng laughed.
“Oh, why do you say that?”
“You say that you have a great deal of knowledge about Eternal World. If so, do you know that the power I represent can easily kill off every blood cultivator here?” Chen Feng said coolly.
“You're talking out of your a.s.s! Eternal World does not possess such a formidable force!” Before Prince Blood Edge could respond, one of the blood cultivators behind him shouted.
“Shut up!” Prince Blood Edge shouted and the blood cultivator immediately grew fearful of even opening his mouth.
“I think we should find a place to talk,” Prince Blood Edge suddenly said with a smile.
“Indeed!” Chen Feng nodded. Truth be told, Chen Feng only wanted to buy time. He did not actually want to ally or reconcile with the blood cultivators. His Blood Mustering Bead will need them to level up, after all. Additionally, during the earlier battle, both sides had suffered from casualties. As a result, a grudge had been formed between their two sides. Of course, Prince Blood Edge also had a reason for not wanting to continue fighting Chen Feng's group. Chen Feng's side had several Ascendant Immortals. If they were to continue fighting, even if Prince Blood Edge's side could emerge victorious, a certain price would have to be paid.
Another factor was the thing that Chen Feng mentioned earlier. While the blood cultivators did possess some knowledge about the situation in Eternal World, that was limited to the situation some time ago. Recently, though, Eternal World had been changing and new incidents would happen every day. It was only natural for foreigners like them to be in the dark about it.
Prince Blood Edge wanted to learn about the recent situation from Chen Feng.
Following Prince Blood Edge's orders, the 10 million plus blood cultivators stationed themselves in the Sky Pillars Mountain Range instead of moving out. Additionally, there was also a thick barrier, which kept growing in thickness. It would appear that the blood cultivators had decided to make the Sky Pillars Mountain Range their temporary stronghold.
Prince Blood Edge brought 10 Ascendant Immortals with him while Chen Feng only had Bi Qing come along with him. Patriarch Hegemon Sword and the others headed back to East Dragon Island. Given how chaotic the situation was and the fact that East Dragon Island was in a war with Heavenly Firmaments Palace, East Dragon Island cannot divert so many Ascendant Immortals away for a prolonged time. This was to avoid letting Heavenly Firmaments Palace find an opening.
“You two sure are relaxed about this. Are you not fearful that we will suddenly go back on our words and attack you?” Prince Blood Edge said smilingly, his aura flashing before completely retracting.
“If we really have to fight it out, we are probably no match for all of you. However, leaving is still not an issue for us,” Chen Feng said and stretched his hand out. Next, a clump of light shone before finally taking the shape of the Longevity Tower. Naturally, this was not the Longevity Tower's real body. Rather, Chen Feng had simply utilized his power to manifest the tower.
“The Longevity Tower! You are a member of the Longevity Clan!” Prince Blood Edge's eyes instantly lit up. This came as quite the shock to him.
“Hup!”
Bi Qing let out a grunt and a stream of aura emerged from the depths of s.p.a.ce before descending upon his body to strengthen it. Instantly, a faint-cyan energy stream swirled around him.
“Profound Light of Extreme Cyan! You are a member of the Celestial Clearblue Plane!” Prince Blood Edge was thoroughly shocked. No, it was no longer shock etched on his eyes, but wariness.
“Unexpectedly, you know quite a bit,” Chen Feng said.
“For even your Celestial Planes to interfere, looks like Eternal World's fortune this time is quite considerable. The earlier battle is now written off. However, it looks like the two of you have been here for quite some time now?” Upon learning that the two of them were from the Celestial Planes, Prince Blood Edge dispelled any thoughts of attacking them. The Blood Plane was insufferably arrogant, showing no fear towards the other worlds. Even so, the Celestial Planes were not the kind of existences that they could go up against.
“Our souls were reincarnated here,” Chen Feng said with a smile.
“Which means we are now native cultivators of Eternal World, but we still have our roots with the Celestial Planes. Additionally, we can also mobilize the power of the Celestial Plane and not become subject to the rejection powers of this world,” Bi Qing continued.
Hearing that, Prince Blood Edge's eyes shone with an even brighter intensity. This was a good method! Only, the price was somewhat high.
“You two sure are willing to ignore everything for this. I wonder, can you tell me about some of the good things here?” Prince Blood Edge said with a somewhat crafty tone.
“It's not out of the question, but that needs to be exchanged for information of equivalent value,” Chen Feng said with a chuckle.
“Err… about that, I will need to consider this for a bit. At any rate, I am not the sole person in charge of this.” Prince Blood Edge hesitated somewhat.
Speaking of which, if they were ordinary cultivators, Prince Blood Edge would have suggested a partnership. However, partnering up with cultivators from the Celestial Planes? Prince Blood Edge did not feel too confident about it.
“Can you two tell me about the current situation of this world?” Prince Blood Edge was no longer as arrogant as he was earlier.
“Sure!” Chen Feng nodded and informed him about the situation in Eternal World. Even if Chen Feng were to refuse, Prince Blood Edge would be able to eventually find out on his own. Thus, it'd be better for him to just inform Prince Blood Edge. This would show that he was sincere in his desire for a negotiation.
“Heavenly Firmaments Palace. I know of this sect. It has quite the status even back in the Immortal Plane.” To Chen Feng's surprise, Prince Blood Edge actually knew Heavenly Firmaments Palace.
“We do not know much about that. Heavenly Firmaments Palace's strength is indeed very strong. There are many cultivators from the Lightning Plane helping them. Additionally, there are also cultivators from the Demon Plane hiding behind them. Recently, they also joined forces with the Boltfiend Clan. Of course, given how powerful Heavenly Firmaments Palace's strength is, you fellows can always choose to join forces with it. However, our East Dragon Island Alliance and Heavenly Firmaments Palace are foes in an unending battle. So, we will probably have to fight each other again in the future if you do so.” Chen Feng smiled.
“Humph!” Prince Blood Edge let out a snort. There was a somewhat contorted expression on his face. Truth be told, when he first learned of the situation from Chen Feng, he had thought about partnering up with Heavenly Firmaments Palace. Unexpectedly, the Demon Plane and Lightning Plane already had a hand in there. Due to that, they could no longer partner up with Heavenly Firmaments Palace, no matter what. Was there anyone within this part of the immortal region that did not know that the Blood Plane had countless enemies? The ones it had the deepest grudge against were none other than the Lightning Plane and Demon Plane. Only, the Lightning Plane had merged with the Immortal Plane. As the Blood Plane was no match for the Immortal Plane, it could only fight against the Demon Plane, but the Demon Plane was also growing stronger with every pa.s.sing day. Due to that, the Blood Plane did not have an easy time against it.
After pondering silently for a moment, Prince Blood Edge then said, “Chen Feng, what are you trying to say here?”
“A partnership. I know that your Blood Plane has a grudge against the Lightning Plane. On the other hand, you fellows had recklessly come here. You will definitely face the attacks from the other forces from this world. If they choose to join forces, I believe that even your group would be incapable of handling it. Why not ally with my East Dragon Island and fight Heavenly Firmaments Palace together?”
“What about benefits? What benefits can we get from this? Heavenly Firmaments Palace has some roots in the Immortal Plane. We do not want to get into a fight with them for no reason,” Prince Blood Edge said smilingly.
“If that's the case, there is nothing else for us to talk about. Goodbye.” Chen Feng simply got up.
“Are you not afraid that we will join forces with Heavenly Firmaments Palace to attack your East Dragon Island Alliance? It seems to me like your East Dragon Island Alliance is not in a good position.” Seeing Chen Feng make to leave, Prince Blood Edge became somewhat anxious.
“Up to you. You should know, but we have the Celestial Planes behind us. We don't really think much about this Heavenly Firmaments Palace.” After saying that, Chen Feng and Bi Qing exchanged glances. Without hesitating, the two of them then left.
Prince Blood Edge did not stop them. Instead, he simply watched them depart, his eyes flickering about. It was unknown just what was on his mind.
