Everlasting Chapter 987 Deploying An Army

Even before the Domain Geocompa.s.s was done with its Heavenly Tribulation, the two Abyssal Ice Orbs had flown out. Speaking of which, the fact that the two Abyssal Ice Orbs could so quickly level up was something beyond Chen Feng's expectations. The two orbs were from the Abyssal Ice Behemoth and it hadn't been all too long since Chen Feng obtained them. Chen Feng had believed that some ice-type spiritual objects would be required for them to level up. Unexpectedly, after just fusing with two immortal dao laws, the two orbs levelled up.

However, Chen Feng had no time to ponder about that as his other magic treasures were also levelling up. The Twin Swords of Life and Death, Demon Sealing Sword, Nine Wyrms Seal, Immortal-binding Rope and some other Dao artifacts that he had obtained became Immortal artifacts. In just a brief moment, Chen Feng had acquired several more Immortal artifacts. Due to that, Chen Feng's strength kept rising.

In addition to the feelings of delight, Chen Feng was also feeling shocked. Given his present level of strength, a good amount of time was needed for him to refine just one new Immortal artifact. If the Immortal artifacts were too strong, his fleshly body would be incapable of holding out. This time, however, he did not feel any limitations.

It's due to the recovery of my spiritual root! Chen Feng's eyes shone and he instantly figured out the reason. Naturally, there was a reason why the Chaos Const.i.tution would be known as the number one const.i.tution. Despite only knowing a smidge of the wondrous aspects of the Chaos Const.i.tution, Chen Feng was aware that the Chaos Const.i.tution could devour the various forms of energy throughout the chaotic universe. In addition, the bearer of the const.i.tution would also not end up suffering from cultivation deviation.

This situation was an example. Chen Feng's spiritual root had only just begun to recover. And yet, the capacity of Chen Feng's body had become tens of times greater than before. Rather, it might even be over 100 times. This was an unimaginable rate of cultivation. Chen Feng, however, knew that this was only to be expected from the Chaos Const.i.tution.

As Tower mentioned before, by cultivating out the Chaos Const.i.tution, Chen Feng's rate of cultivation would increase a hundredfold. That was not an exaggeration.

After understanding that, Chen Feng calmed down. The longevity-type primary energy within him flowed calmly and he stopped cultivating. Instead, he worked on calming himself down.

And so, his state of mind began improving.

“Well done, kid. You are able to let go. By continuing to cultivate, your strength will indeed soar. However, doing so will create hidden dangers. You are able to stop at the right time. Looks like your state of mind has improved. Don't worry. With this state of mind, it is just a matter of time before you cultivate out the Chaos Const.i.tution,” Tower said.

“However, thinking of it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Given my cultivation talent, if my spiritual root had not been damaged back then, what level would I have reached by now? The Heavenly Immortal stage, or the Gold Immortal stage?” Chen Feng sighed before chuckling.

“At the very least, the Heavenly Immortal stage. However, by repairing what was broken, it will be even stronger than before. Without having to overcome those difficulties, how could you unearth the deepest potential within you?”

“Makes sense. Perhaps, the disaster back then was a good thing for me. At the very least, I did obtain the number one Divine artifact of the Celestial Longevity Plane.”

“Humph! Back then, I wasn't just the number one Divine artifact of the Celestial Longevity Plane,” Tower grumbled.

“What? Could it be you are the number one Divine artifact of the Limitless Immortal Region?” Chen Feng laughed.

The Celestial Planes, Immortal Plane, cultivation worlds, life-bearing planets and countless other star regions together form a vast expanse of s.p.a.ce – seemingly limitless – known as the Limitless Immortal Region.

Hearing that, Tower fell silent. Although he thought highly of himself, he dared not claim to be the number one Divine artifact of the Limitless Immortal Region. In terms of pure combat power, there were indeed some Divine artifacts that were stronger than the Longevity Tower.

“Kid, just cultivate yourself properly. At present, you have not even entered the Immortal Plane. As for going to the other immortal regions… heh! That is not something that a cultivator at your level could partic.i.p.ate in.” Tower's voice then took on a different tone.

“I already know that. Strength! My strength is still too lacking! Even my cultivation rate is too slow. But now that my spiritual root is recovering, I should be able to explore outer s.p.a.ce soon enough.” Chen Feng laughed loudly. He was in high spirits and his essence, energy and soul power grew stronger. His fleshly body also improved by several notches. At his level, state of mind, comprehension and improvement in his essence, energy and soul power was the most important thing.

With every breath Chen Feng took, a wave of turbid energy would emerge from his whole body. The turbid energy was not a result of impurities. Rather, it was due to the new replacing the old.

“Those Ascendant Immortals are really stupid. Are they only able to hold on for this long?” Looking around, Chen Feng then shook his head.

For the second wave, the Immortal Plane sent forth even stronger cultivators. Amongst them were also the power of Heavenly Tribulation, created by the Heavenly dao. Chen Feng did not do anything. The Ascendant Immortals in charge of guarding the great arrays would not be able to hold on for much longer. That said, they had yet to suffer from any casualties.

Even though Chen Feng shook his head, he did not intervene. There was a reason why Chen Feng had stationed those Ascendant Immortals there. If they could survive, it would mean they had successfully honed themselves. Should they be unfortunate enough to die, that would mean they could only become cannon fodders.

Chen Feng had believed that, with the support of the great arrays and the hundreds of millions of cultivators from the East Dragon Island Alliance, they should have no issues repulsing the first few waves of attacks from the Immortal Plane. 

At that very moment, however, there were some discrepancies between his plan and reality. There was no way the Ascendant Immortals here could compare with the Ascendant Immortals from the Immortal Plane. 

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

It was then that the four Yao Overlords who had only just joined the alliance recently appeared before Chen Feng.

“Island Lord Chen, should we take action?” The four Yao Overlords took the initiative to volunteer. They wanted to contribute to show their sincerity. Speaking of which, the ten million ocean yaos they brought with them had already received a great deal of benefits here. Not making any contributions here did not feel right to them.

“No rus.h.!.+ Wait a little longer.” Chen Feng smiled and shook his head.

“But it doesn't look like those Ascendant Immortals would be able to hold on for much longer,” Octopus could not stop himself from saying.

“Everyone, calm down. I will be needing your strength later on,” Chen Feng said with a smile. Then, his eyes turned to look elsewhere as his divine sense flew millions of li into the distance. 

“Prince Blood Edge, it is time for your men to take action.”

After receiving the secret vocal transmission from Chen Feng, Prince Blood Edge hesitated for a moment before leading his subordinates – ten plus blood cultivators – to join the battle. While the blood cultivators were not exactly stronger than the cultivators from the Immortal Plane, they were indeed slightly stronger when compared to the cultivators from Eternal World. Thus, with the a.s.sistance from Prince Blood Edge, the situation was changed.

Hey, you want get the benefits without contributing? No way. Chen Feng secretly snickered. In his plan, the blood cultivators were to serve as cannon fodders. Naturally, if they were to perform their duties well, Chen Feng did not mind letting them off.

The partic.i.p.ation of the blood cultivators dragged the battle for a while longer. Next, the forces that the Immortal Plane sent forward became increasingly strong. Prince Blood Edge had to face several Ascendant Immortals all on his own. The East Dragon Island Alliance's side began falling into an unfavourable situation.

“Chen Feng, are you not going to take action yet?” Prince Blood Edge shouted.

Chen Feng frowned before dispatching a new force into the battle. This new force consisted of 20 Ascendant Immortals. Some of them had only just reached the Ascendant Immortal stage recently. In Chen Feng's opinion, this was a good time to hone them. The rest, though, were gathered from the other sects and forces. For Chen Feng, these fellows could not be considered as elites and their combat power was far inferior compared to the blood cultivators.

As expected, they began suffering from casualties. Seeing that caused Chen Feng's eyelids to twitch, but he continued to do nothing for some time. Instead, he continued to calmly observe the chaos.

“Chen Feng, hurry up and take action!” someone shouted. This time, it was not Prince Blood Edge. Rather, it was one of the Ascendant Immortals who recently joined the East Dragon Island Alliance.

“I'll have to trouble the four of you to take action,” Chen Feng said.

The four great Yao Overlords had been waiting eagerly for this. Thus, they charged into the battle the moment Chen Feng said that. The strength of the four Yao Overlords was comparable to that of Prince Blood Edge. The moment they took action, they killed off four golden-armoured cultivators. Seeing that caused Prince Blood Edge to secretly grow wary. He didn't think that Chen Feng's subordinates would possess this level of strength.

Chen Feng's face was impa.s.sive, but he was secretly taking action. Some of the thicker threads of golden light floating within the Longevity Tower flew out before disappearing.

“Kid, you sure are generous. And also insidious.” Tower cackled.

“There's no helping it. This is just a precautionary measure.” Chen Feng shook his head.

Bi Qing, who had been standing beside Xian Yun all this time, suddenly shook. A look of shock flashed across his eyes. His aura burst out vigorously for a brief moment before calming down again.

“What happened?” Xian Yun had managed to notice the abnormal actions from Bi Qing earlier.

“It's nothing. Seeing this makes me feel a little excited.” Bi Qing shook his head.

“For now, there is no need for us to take action.” Xian Yun did not suspect anything.

“Xian Yun, if a True Immortal really appears, I hope you can help out.”

“Don't worry, even killing off a few True Immortals from the Immortal Plane is nothing. Still, it looks to me like you are treating this Chen Feng quite well,” Xian Yun said with a casual tone.

“Ha ha! We're just helping one another here.” 

“Helping one another.” Xian Yun laughed as well.

“We're about there now. If I don't take action now, those fellows are going to object.” After saying that, Chen Feng mobilized the great arrays. The power of the nine Great Heavenstealing Arrays fused up into one, forming a whip in Chen Feng's hand. With a casual swing of the whip, a cultivator from the Immortal Plane was killed.

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

Every swing of the whip would reap the life of one of the Ascendant Immortals from the Immortal Plane. By the time the whip's power was exhausted, up to tens of cultivators had died to it. It had also shattered apart over 100 streams of power of destruction created by the Heavenly dao.

Sou! Sou!

The instant the whip disappeared, two black-armoured cultivators appeared within the great arrays, one from the front and one from the back. The two of them wielded lances, which they stabbed towards Chen Feng.

“To think that you fellows can silently sneak into the great arrays that I set up, extraordinary.” Despite saying that, Chen Feng did not move. Instead, the Blood Mustering Bead appeared before him and nine talons flew out to drag the black-armoured cultivator in front into the Blood Mustering Bead.

Earlier, the Blood Mustering Bead had levelled up to the mid-grade Immortal tier. Even the nine Poisonous Vileblood Wyrms inside it had advanced to the Ascendant Immortal stage.

Many cultivators have died here, a good number of them Ascendant Immortals. The Blood Mustering Bead had devoured most of the blood power generated from this bloodbath. If it weren't for the fact that there wasn't enough time, the Blood Mustering Bead might be able to even level up further to the high-grade Immortal tier.

That said, a mid-grade Immortal artifact was already enough to deter the other party. Even in the Immortal Plane, this was something that the cultivators there would fight over. Even for Xian Yun, seeing the Blood Mustering Bead caused his eyes to flash for a brief moment.

Two cultivators suddenly appeared behind Chen Feng. One of them swung his sword to block an incoming attack while the other one swung his sword to kill off the other black-clad cultivator. 

The two of them were Patriarch Heavenly Sword and Patriarch Hegemon Sword. After lurking around all this time, they finally revealed themselves.

“Kid, we're truly going big here. I have already stolen over 200,000 immortal dao laws. I have a feeling that a formidable fellow is going to take action. You need to be careful,” Tower reminded Chen Feng.
