The aforementioned troubles would all come from the various Celestial Planes, the Celestial Longevity Plane included.
These people would know of the origins of the Longevity Tower. They understood what the Longevity Tower signified. Thus, their actions would be as swift as lightning. Additionally, the cultivators from the Celestial Planes were all highly formidable. Cultivators from the other worlds were no match for them.
Even if only one such person were to come, Chen Feng would need to mobilize all the cards he possessed to deal with him. However, what if there were seven or eight of them? Just thinking about it left a bitter taste in Chen Feng"s mouth.
How troublesome! If I can get a few Ascendant Immortals to cooperate with me, I would be able to get by. Even without Ascendant Immortals, if I have more Earthen Immortals on my side, tens of them at least, I can have them help out with the magic arrays and buy time against several Ascendant Immortals at that level.
Time! I still need time! Chen Feng lamented. In Chen Feng"s opinion, with another 100 years, he would most likely be able to advance to the Earthen Immortal stage. By then, East Dragon Island"s force would have doubled. If given 500 years, there would be no need for him to fear those Ascendant Immortals. Unfortunately, there was simply not enough time.
To Chen Feng"s surprise, after he had killed off the Ascendant Immortals, there was tranquillity for the next few years. Chen Feng could clearly sense an atmosphere of pressure. And yet, no opponent appeared. That gave Chen Feng a most unbearable feeling.
Finally, when Chen Feng felt as though his mind would start cracking, someone finally came.
On this particular day, Chen Feng was cultivating on an isolated island located 5,000 kilometres away from East Dragon Island. One moment, the ocean breeze had been blowing while rays of sunlight poured down. The very next moment, however, everything turned dark. It felt as though he had entered the deepest part of the universe. No sounds, no direction and no lights. Even his six senses had been sealed away.
Despite utilizing the Magic Eyes of Darkness, Chen Feng was still incapable of seeing through the darkness.
This is the Malla Canopy. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Malla Plane would be the first to attack. Seeing this attack from an enemy, Chen Feng instead grew calm.
Not to mention, Chen Feng also did not instantly take action against it. He knew that the opponent would be revealing themselves quickly.
As predicted, flames spread out from within the curtain of darkness before rapidly converging into a clump of flames. Next, a mighty human figure strode out from the clump of flames.
This figure had the appearance of a young man, clad in black-coloured magic robes. However, flames burned all around him while his eyes were as black as black holes. It was as though his eyes could devour everything.
Although it appeared as though this youngster was walking slowly, he appeared before Chen Feng in a flash.
“Unexpectedly, the one I have to deal with is actually a Human Immortal.” When the youngster spoke, Chen Feng felt his soul shaking.
“How should I address you?” Chen Feng asked smilingly.
“Heavenly Premier Eight Nets.”
“Let me guess which tribe you are from. Is it the Malla Tribe or the Mal"Yama Tribe? Or is it the Mal"Heaven Tribe? Right, could you be from the Blackwater Tribe?”
“You know of our Celestial Malla Plane quite well. Looks like you really are from the Longevity Clan.” The youngster was in no hurry to attack as well. Instead, he stood before Chen Feng and began conversing with him peacefully.
It seemed as though he believed that Chen Feng was already in his grasp now that the Malla Canopy had entrapped Chen Feng.
“Not only do I know about your Celestial Malla Plane, I am also friends with Magiris Blackwater,” Chen Feng continued, a reminiscing look on his face.
“Magiris Blackwater, the Junior Chieftain of the Blackwater Tribe? Heh! You"re boasting here. How could our Junior Chieftain have a friend like you?” Heavenly Premier Eight Nets revealed a look of ridicule.
“Oh, why do you say that?” Chen Feng asked.
“You are just a minor Human Immortal while the Junior Blackwater Chieftain has already reached the Heavenly Immortal stage. He is an exalted character. How could someone like him know an ant like you?” When he mentioned the words "Junior Blackwater Chieftain", there was a reverent look on his face.
That kid has actually reached the Heavenly Immortal stage? Heavenly Immortal, that is one stage above the True Immortal stage. Makes sense. It"s been a million years since then. Magiris Blackwater"s talent is quite good and he is also born with the Magic Eyes. It is only right that he could cultivate up to that level after one million years. Chen Feng mumbled to himself. Even so, hearing that had still left Chen Feng uncomfortable.
“Alright, kid. Time for nonsense is over. I know you are called Chen Feng. I don"t care what kind of background you have. Hand over the Longevity Tower right now and I will leave.” Suddenly, Heavenly Premier Eight Nets" face turned dark and he stopped talking peacefully with Chen Feng.
“You already know that I possess the Longevity Tower. And yet, you still dare come over. Not to mention, you are also alone. Are you not afraid of death?” Chen Feng said smilingly.
“Humph! Since you are unwilling to hand it over, do not blame me for going rough on you.”
After saying that, Heavenly Premier Eight Nets waved his hand and the curtain of darkness twisted. It rapidly shrank to finally form a pitch-black piece of rattan vine. The vine shone with a black l.u.s.tre and a mysterious power flowed across its surface. With a flash of light from the cane, Chen Feng was tied up.
“Surely you recognize what this thing is, right?” Seeing Chen Feng tied up, Heavenly Premier Eight Nets breathed a sigh of relief.
“I do. It"s the Divine Malla Vine, isn"t it? It is far stronger compared to the Immortal-binding Rope. It is said that the main Divine Malla Vine can easily bind a Heavenly Immortal.”
“Good that you are aware of that.”
“Only, this Divine Malla Vine in your hand is just an extension of the real thing. It is only an ordinary Immortal artifact. Are you so confident that it could bind me?”
“Aren"t you already bound?”
“You"re an Ascendant Immortal from the Celestial Malla Plane, after all. How could you be so idiotic?” Suddenly, Chen Feng"s voice flowed in from the outside.
Heavenly Premier Eight Nets" face instantly sank. He waved his hand and the Divine Malla Vine that was binding Chen Feng rapidly constricted, but Chen Feng blew up instead, transforming into a clump of energy. It was just a clone, one that Chen Feng had prepared for a long time.
“I have been waiting for you for a long time now. Unfortunately for you, you are actually incapable of realizing that the one you captured is not my real body.” Chen Feng"s voice echoed all around the place.
Next, golden light spread out everywhere and layer after layer of magic arrays began circulating into existence and s.p.a.ce turned chaotic. Various types of power kept intertwining and Heavenly Premier Eight Nets felt pressured.
Previously, Chen Feng had been entrapped by Heavenly Premier Eight Nets" canopy. At present, however, he had entered Chen Feng"s trap.
“I am aware of how powerful the Malla Canopy is. However, you are presently inside an Immortal artifact. It will be even harder for you to come out.” Chen Feng was utilizing the Immortal Skylodge Palace for this. Given the situation, this immortal palace was the best choice.
Sigh! If only the Lightning Bead and Treasured Ocean Pearl can level up to the Immortal tier, they will be most suited to become spatial-type magic treasures.
“Immortal-tier palace!”
“That"s right! It"s an Immortal-tier palace.”
“Looks like you are not some average fellow. Even so, you will die today. I would like to see who would come after me once I kill you. Humph! Your Longevity Clan is no longer as strong as it used to be.” Heavenly Premier Eight Nets" eyes began s.h.i.+ning with black-coloured spiritual light. At the same time, strange-looking patterns appeared on his face. The patterns first emerged from his forehead before moving out to cover his whole body. Next, with a booming sound, formidable flames charged out from within him to burn the restrictive arrays around him.
“The fire runes of the Secret Malla Technique. So, you are from the Mal"Yama Tribe.” Chen Feng laughed as his figure appeared within the Immortal Skylodge Palace.
“Whatever abilities you have, just bring them all out. You will not be getting out from here.” Chen Feng waved and the entire Immortal Skylodge Palace roared as various restrictive arrays appeared. Chen Feng had utilized a high number of Immortal crystals to activate it, all for the sake of entrapping this Ascendant Immortal.
In Chen Feng"s opinion, killing him quickly would be impossible. However, as long as he could trap this opponent inside, in due time, he would be able to successfully deal with him.
Despite how good Chen Feng"s plan was, how things developed had still gone beyond his expectations.
The reason was very simple.
This opponent was simply too strong. Generally speaking, cultivators from higher-levelled worlds like the Demon Plane and Nether Plane were stronger than the cultivators from Eternal World. On the other hand, the cultivators from the Immortal Plane were even stronger than the cultivators from those worlds. However, the cultivators from the Myriad Celestial Planes were even stronger than the cultivators from the Immortal Plane.
This Heavenly Premier Eight Nets was much stronger than Ascendant Immortal Skylodge, the previous owner of the Immortal Skylodge Palace. Additionally, Chen Feng was also incapable of fully unleas.h.i.+ng this Immortal artifact"s power. Due to that, a great deal of pressure bore down on Chen Feng.
Flames surged around Heavenly Premier Eight Nets. It was not Sky Fire from the Skyfire Clan. Rather, it was a special power created by fire runes. It was capable of burning worlds and even the Celestial Planes and was in no way inferior to the Sky Fire of the Skyfire Clan.
After just a short time, Chen Feng felt as though he was facing an erupting volcano and the entire Immortal Skylodge Palace seemingly transformed into a furnace.
“Chen Feng, you think that this c.r.a.ppy Immortal artifact can hold me? What a joke! You should use the Longevity Tower! Let me see just how powerful the Longevity Tower that could shake the Myriad Celestial Planes is!” Heavenly Premier Eight Nets was like a G.o.d of Fire and fire runes kept flowing out from his body. Wherever the fire runes went, a world of flames would be born.
The restrictive arrays within the Immortal Skylodge Palace were incapable of stopping Heavenly Premier Eight Nets at all and he wreaked havoc inside.
Having no other options, Chen Feng brought out the Heaven Piercing Lance and rushed forward to fight Heavenly Premier Eight Nets. With just one clash, Chen Feng was sent flying, flames a.s.sailing his body, turning him into a flaming figure. However, Chen Feng rapidly mobilized the restrictive arrays to stop Heavenly Premier Eight Nets" attacks. At the same time, he also brought out the Dawnsource Crystal Water from the Treasured Ocean Pearl to extinguish the flames on his body.
This fellow is much stronger compared to the Celestial Malla Plane cultivator I met last time. Chen Feng flexed his body slightly and the charred skin fell off as new flesh grew.
Boom!
The Immortal Skylodge Palace dove deep into the ocean and the ocean waters within a radius of tens of thousands of li shook. The magic treasures that Chen Feng had placed far away shone intensely with light as they a.s.sumed the roles of array cores.
Chen Feng had spent a great deal of time and effort to set up great arrays within the ocean in order to deal with these Ascendant Immortals.
The power of the ocean surged and rushed into the Immortal Skylodge Palace before wrapping around Heavenly Premier Eight Nets. Those were the power of the undercurrents.
In Chen Feng"s opinion, by adding the power of the ocean into the power of his magic treasure and magic arrays, he should have no issues suppressing an Ascendant Immortal.
“Quite a good idea. Borrowing the might and atmosphere of others. Against the average Ascendant Immortals, this would have been enough. Against me, however, this is still not enough!” Heavenly Premier Eight Nets said, reaching out with his hand to grasp and the surrounding undercurrents were all broken apart.
