Normally, even True Immortals would die after coming here. To think that I would end up partnering up with an Ascendant Immortal. No, when I partnered up with him, he was just an Earthen Immortal. Premier Golden Earth sighed.

“How do you feel?” The Dark Kirin came over.

“Despite having obtained so many treasures, only now did I manage to reach the Ascendant Immortal stage. This is already considered slow,” Chen Feng said with a chuckle. The cultivation techniques that Chen Feng cultivated were overbearing, with a plundering nature, capable of even devouring his opponents’ essence, energy and soul power. However, this also became a test for Chen Feng’s mind and will. One moment of instability in his cultivation base would result in cultivation deviation. Deviating away from the grand dao, it would be even harder for him to correct it.

Chen Feng understood that. Still, as he had already cultivated out the vital flame, there was temporarily no need for him to consider that.

After advancing to the Ascendant Immortal stage, Chen Feng’s combat power rose, becoming tens of times stronger. But this was just the beginning. As time went by, his combat power would continue to grow. Due to that, Chen Feng grew much more confident.

A few months later, Huo Yunlong and the rest finished overcoming their tribulations. Although many of the Ascendant Immortals from Eternal World had managed to break through to the next cultivation level, they were still incapable of coming out from the Bedazzling Star Map. Entering this space meant death. Thankfully, they were able to cultivate inside a pseudo-Divine artifact. As it was a rare chance, none of them complained.

By then, the threat from the Immortal Plane had been more or less resolved. Rather, Chen Feng wanted nothing more than for the Immortal Plane to send another batch of True Immortals over. Every one of them signified a hoard of treasures.

“Let’s go!”

Chen Feng and Huo Yunlong’s cultivation bases had completely stabilized. And so, with Premier Golden Earth in the lead, they then began flying through the turbulent streams of power there.

The turbulent streams of power within the mysterious space were formed from the power of chaos. There was also the power of death within them. Without formidable magic treasures, even True Immortals could die here.

As they flew forward, Chen Feng did not remain idle. Instead, his whole figure became like a black hole to constantly devour the surrounding power of chaos and death. For some cultivators, those powers were good materials for cultivation and the forging of magic treasures.

When Chen Feng underwent his tribulation earlier, several of his magic treasures had levelled up as well. The same was true for the various yao beasts and living creatures that he had subdued in the past.

One such example was the Ascendant Immortal stage Immortal Cyancloud Cranes. Naturally, Chen Feng was not after the combat power of the immortal cranes. Rather, it was because they could give the interior of the Longevity Tower a more immortal-like environment.

If the other party is just a solo star wanderer, we may be able to handle this. Chen Feng weighed the situation. He was very interested in the spatial crevice that could spray out divine objects that Premier Golden Earth had mentioned. He had heard of such incidents before in the past. Unexpectedly, he would be able to encounter this himself.

From what Chen Feng could tell, such spatial crevices could either be a magic treasure or a legacy left behind by a highly formidable cultivator. Either that or the spatial crevice was connected to another mysterious space.

For cultivators who discovered it, however, its specific origins were not as important as the fact that it would spray out good items.

Although there was only a short distance between them and the place, they had still used up to one month to reach it. During that time, Chen Feng could sense that some of the magic treasures inside him had reached the threshold for levelling up again. That was especially true for the Longevity weapons that he had been constantly nurturing.

Due to the rise in Chen Feng’s cultivation level to the Ascendant Immortal stage, another important change also appeared. Some of the secret techniques recorded in the Longevity Scripture began appearing in Chen Feng’s sea of wisdom. And while Chen Feng was constantly cultivating himself, he ended up feeling as though he did not have enough time.

I haven’t had the chance to enter a cultivation retreat. No wonder some of the experts I saw in the past would spend between hundreds of years to thousands of years for one cultivation retreat. To think that I have also reached that level. Chen Feng laughed at himself.

“The spatial crevice is not far away from here.” Finally, they slowed down before landing on a large asteroid.

“Up ahead, is it?” Chen Feng brought out the Void Maelstrom. It was a top-grade Immortal artifact. Fusing it with his eyes would take some time, but that would not affect how much of its power Chen Feng could unleash.

Using the Void Maelstrom, Chen Feng’s eye power was able to pierce through the power of chaos and he saw what was happening five million kilometres away.

“Eh?”

Before Chen Feng could find the so-called spatial crevice and the cultivator who was guarding it, he sensed something the size of a small mountain charging towards them from afar, carrying with it a formidable atmosphere of oppression.

“An asteroid is coming,” Chen Feng said smilingly.

“Could the spatial crevice be erupting right now?”

“It is possible.”

“Eh, something is amiss!”

As they were discussing the issue, a grand aura of power, resembling that of the Heavenly might, came from the depths of space. Due to that, they felt their hearts trembling and cries of alarm rang out from their hearts.

“The spatial crevice is erupting!” Premier Golden Earth grew excited. His figure flashed forward as he took the lead in rushing forward.

Sou!

However, Chen Feng was the first to take action. The Chaos Chain elongated through a distance of half a million kilometres to wrap around the large asteroid flying towards them.

“Hey, this is a rare type of Mystic Iron. Although its quality is average, such a large piece of Mystic Iron is very rare. The chances of finding something like this is low even after wandering through outer space for 10,000 years!” Huo Yunlong said, feeling somewhat envious.

Sou!

Black light flashed forward before returning. A clump of black light then fell onto the Dark Kirin’s hand. It was a wondrous-looking flower.

“A 10,000-year-old Void Flower. It can be used to study the grand dao of the void!” Huo Yunlong’s eyes immediately turned bloodshot.

Chen Feng waved his hand, the Chaos Chain spreading out to envelop the surrounding space, swirling about constantly to collect everything.

Seeing that, Huo Yunlong bellowed and charged forward as well. It did not take long before he too, managed to collect a great deal of good items.

“There really are some good items here.” Chen Feng was somewhat surprised. Checking the items he obtained earlier, he found that there were actually several pieces of ores that were useful for the Longevity Tower.

Hopefully, there is a real divine object here. That way, the Longevity Tower’s power can be improved. Chen Feng sped up. At the same time, he was also feeling puzzled. This situation appeared somewhat different from what Premier Golden Earth had informed them back then.

“Did it start erupting at a larger scale because there are more people here?”

“Yes. If it would always erupt at such a scale in the past, the cultivator who stood guard here would surely be rich. I suggest we rob this guy!”

“Agreed.”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sounds of collisions spread through the chaotic energy streams there to reach them, informing them that Premier Golden Earth had begun fighting the cultivator who was guarding this place. After just several breaths’ worth of time, Premier Golden Earth’s massive body hurtled uncontrollably towards them.

Chen Feng’s eyes narrowed and the Chaos Chain circled around before him to stop Premier Golden Earth’s momentum. Sensing the power transmitted into the Chaos Chain from Premier Golden Earth’s body, Chen Feng’s face grew even more serious.

“Isn’t there something wrong with your information? This opponent is not just a notch stronger than you here,” Chen Feng said unhappily as he looked at the wounds on Premier Golden Earth’s massive body.

“I’m highly surprised myself. Last time I fought him, he was not this strong, far from it.” Premier Golden Earth also appeared incredibly shocked.

“And when was the last time you fought him?” Chen Feng suddenly asked.

“Three hundred years ago.”

“Three hundred?!” Chen Feng’s voice grew loud. He felt frustrated. Their opponent had been standing guard over a treasure hoard that could spray out divine objects. Three hundred years were enough for his cultivation base to skyrocket.

“You never fought him again during these 300 years?” the Dark Kirin asked as well.

Hearing that, Premier Golden Earth grew embarrassed.

“During the 300 years, I was, healing myself.”

Chen Feng’s team of three grew speechless.

“Very well. We are already here, anyways. Next up, we need to be careful. Our opponent is alone. No matter how powerful he may be, there is a limit to his strength. Look at the divine objects erupting out from the crevice. I believe he would be incapable of collecting them all on his own. In the worst-case scenario, we’ll just run away after grabbing a bite of the pie,” Chen Feng said with a smile.

“I recruited you fellows so that we could kill him.” Premier Golden Earth grew anxious.

“That would depend on whether or not we have what it takes to do that,” Chen Feng said, the Longevity Wings unfurling and his figure disappeared from sight. When he re-appeared, there was a fist-size, fiery-red crystal in his hand.

“A top-grade Immortal crystal created by the Primary Core Flames of Extreme Yang! Brother Chen, give me. You know as well that I cultivate the power of fire.” Huo Yunlong’s eyes shone with light and he wanted nothing more than to step forward and just grab the crystal.

“I also need items like these.” Chen Feng flipped his palm and the crystal disappeared.

Chen Feng could devour practically everything. Additionally, he had also opened up the Fire acupoint and Fire Trigram acupoint. The more of these items he possessed, the better. Furthermore, his pet, the Ancient Flame Beetle, also needed fire-type crystals at this level to advance.

“Humph, scrooge!” Huo Yunlong grew somewhat displeased and he took action himself to collect the various spiritual and divine objects that were flying about in space.

“You heal up first. The other party is not coming after you. I think he should be focused on collecting the items as well. I’ll go check and see what level he is at,” Chen Feng said to Premier Golden Earth. Next, he took a step forward to re-appear somewhere 5,000 kilometres ahead. Following that, Chen Feng’s figure kept shattering apart amidst the chaotic space before completely dissipating away.

Chen Feng was relying on his unparalleled speed to ignore space-time, leaving after-images in space as he kept on flashing forward. However, it did not take long before a formidable aura locked down on Chen Feng’s position. Then, a soul power made its way through the chaotic streams of energy there before forming a thread, which then attacked Chen Feng.

A True Immortal, and a mid-level one to boot! Even though they had yet to exchange blows, Chen Feng was able to – through the opponent’s soul power – roughly estimate the opponent’s cultivation base.

“Seal!”

Chen Feng shouted, his finger moving to create watery ripples upon the space before him. Finally, a ‘seal’ character was formed and it shot towards the incoming soul power.

“Subdue!”

Chen Feng had first utilized the Longevity Sealing Technique, followed immediately by the Soul Subduing Mantra. With the appearance of the Soul Subduing Talisman, the surrounding space abruptly froze while the area of space affected by the Longevity Sealing Technique continued to fluctuate. One part fluctuating, one part frozen. The conflicting situation created quite a peculiar sight.

Sou! Sou!

But the opponent’s soul power was like an agile snake. Flashing rapidly a few times, it pierced through the two attacks from Chen Feng to instantly appear before him.

Chen Feng remained still, not panicking. The Void Maelstrom suddenly appeared and a stream of light shattered the thread of soul power. Next, it exerted a suction force to devour the soul power.
