“Did you fellows forget what I said just now? The Longevity Tower is my magic treasure,” Chen Feng said, waving his hand. Next, the Longevity Tower released a rumbling sound and a profound aura descended. With that, there was no longer any need for Bi Qing and the others to take action as Tian Yun and Liu Feng fell to their knees, pain etched on their faces. They were incapable of fighting back at all.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Longevity Chains shot forward to firmly bind them.
“This is?” Heavenly Premier Absolute and Patriarch Heavenly Sword were shocked to see that.
“This is a pressure born from the very depths of their genes. How can the clansmen of the Longevity Clan resist the oppressive might of the Longevity Tower? Not to mention, these two are just minor Ascendant Immortals.” Bi Qing understood what was happening.
Chen Feng, who stood beside them, simply chuckled. Against the other cultivators, he would have needed to expend quite the effort. However, it was much easier against the cultivators from the Celestial Longevity Plane. This was also why Chen Feng had been displaying such calmness all this time.
“Minor Ascendant Immortals? To think he could say that.” Heavenly Premier Absolute and Patriarch Heavenly Sword felt that both Chen Feng and Bi Qing were giving off quite the suppressive atmosphere. Even though Chen Feng was only at the Human Immortal stage, the Longevity Tower in his possession was simply too terrifying.
“Young Clan Lord, mercy!” Tian Yun and Liu Feng were quick to beg for mercy.
“What are you two so afraid of? You only sent your clones over. There is nothing to fear. Oh wait, now I remember. The Longevity Tower"s attacks can also directly affect your real bodies,” Chen Feng said.
Hearing those words, Tian Yun and Liu Feng"s faces instantly paled. By then, they were no longer capable of even committing suicide.
“Young Clan Lord, please! On behalf of our master, please show us mercy! From this day onwards, we will willingly submit to you. No! We will willingly become your slaves!”
“That"s right! In the future, we will do anything you ask of us! We will obey whatever commands you have for us, Young Clan Lord!”
The two of them hastily begged Chen Feng for mercy, revealing not a shred of the disposition that an Ascendant Immortal should possess. Seeing that caused Patriarch Heavenly Sword and the others to gape.
“You"re talking about Grandbright, huh? Heh! Grandbright aside, even his grandfather would end up with his soul obliterated if he so chooses to harm me,” Chen Feng replied calmly.
“Young Clan Lord! Young Clan Lord! We were mistaken! We beg of you! Just spare us this one time!” The two of them kept kowtowing, knocking their heads against the floor, causing knocking sounds to ring out.
“A pity, we are all from the Longevity bloodline. I should not have to kill you fellows. However, given my current circ.u.mstance, I have no choice. In the future, I will be killing even more, even True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals.” Chen Feng"s face then turned frosty and he flicked a finger, sending two strands of primary flames into their bodies.
Cries of pain rang out and their bodies then fell to the floor. Their souls had dissipated and their life force disappeared from their bodies. At the same time, an invisible wave of energy fluctuations shot forward in a flash to reach the Celestial Longevity Plane. Due to that, Tian Yun and Liu Feng"s real bodies revealed looks of horror. In the end even their real bodies fell, never to stand again. This incident stirred up quite a commotion there.
“Sigh!” Chen Feng sighed, a somewhat contorted expression on his face.
“Truth be told, you can subdue them. I believe you should possess the means to do so, no?” Heavenly Premier Absolute said.
“As it is, I am still not strong enough. I do not want to take that risk.” Chen Feng shook his head.
“Alright. We have dealt with these two. Now, it is time we deal with those outside. Hey, they are not to be underestimated. Every one of them possesses Immortal artifacts. Additionally, they have also received the support from Divine artifacts. If we can capture and refine them, they will prove to be highly beneficial supplements for our cultivation.”
Hearing that, even Bi Qing"s eyes lit up. However, it quickly turned dim. “Refining the power of a Divine artifact is quite difficult. Still, as you possess the Longevity Tower, it should not be an issue.”
“Those fellows are not easy to handle. We should just wait for the hidden fellow to take action first,” Chen Feng said smilingly.
“You"ve noticed it?” Bi Qing was somewhat surprised.
“No, I am only guessing. There must surely be someone taking action from the dark.”
Chen Feng and the others continued to hide inside the Longevity Tower. As for the Longevity Tower, it continued to automatically absorb the magnetic forces outside. The magnetic attacks striking the Longevity Tower could not leave even a mark on the surface of the tower. As for the shockwaves entering the interior of the tower, they were so weakened that not even the Yao Immortals thought much about it.
Heavenly Premier Absolute and Patriarch Heavenly Sword, on the other hand, had been feeling excited all this time. Cultivating inside the Longevity Tower, they had an easier time increasing their cultivation base, giving them a rate of cultivation that far surpa.s.sed their previous rate. Just the laws of s.p.a.cetime they witnessed earlier had allowed them to obtain some harvest.
When they had first found out what type of opponents Chen Feng was facing, they had been feeling unhappy. At present, though, they might not be willing to leave even if Chen Feng shooed them away.
“Something is not right.” By then, Zi Doutian and the others had also realized that something was amiss.
“There is indeed something wrong. I believe there must be someone attacking us from the dark. Humph! It must be it!” Nameless Brahma said, unleas.h.i.+ng a palm forward. This was the Celestial Brahma Plane"s Brahma Hand. Thanks to the blessings from the Divine artifact"s power, this move could even destroy a planet.
The power behind this move was instantly eroded by the magnetic forces. Even so, it had still managed to blast out a stretch of vacuum in front.
Zi Doutian and the other two Ascendant Immortals took action as well, unleas.h.i.+ng highly formidable attacks forward. They had no other choice. The magnetic attacks were becoming increasingly strong. Not to mention, there were also other forces fused into the attacks.
“Eh, something isn"t right. Tian Yun and Liu Feng have gone silent.”
They noticed the Longevity Tower tumbling about randomly within the magnetic region. It was as though there was no one controlling it.
Due to that, Nameless Brahma began calling out Tian Yun and Liu Feng"s name. However, there was no response. Seeing that, their faces grew sombre.
“Did something happen?”
“Heh! That would be for the better!”
“If you ask me, those two must have encountered some issues inside the Longevity Tower. Just think about it. The Longevity Tower used to belong to that Chen Feng. I do not believe that those two can instantly gain control over the entire Longevity Tower. It is possible that the two of them are currently fighting to gain control over the Longevity Tower right now.”
“That makes sense.”
Watching the Longevity Tower tumble about, their hearts were moved once again. The reason they had set off on this trip was for the Longevity Tower, after all. At that very moment, the Longevity Tower was floating not far away from them, with no one in control over it. Anyone would feel tempted.
“Could this be a trick?”
“It doesn"t seem like it. Let"s not tarry. If you fellows are worried, I will just do it myself.”
“You want to take the Longevity Tower for yourself? No way!”
“I say, you guys! There is no need to argue about this. Even if we get the Longevity Tower, it will still be very difficult to escape. The way I see it, we should keep our guards up.”
“That is true. However, we must get the Longevity Tower. That is a genuine Divine artifact. When the time comes, we can join forces to mobilize it. That way, we might be able to get out from here.”
The more they talked, the more tempted they became and the fire within their eyes grew increasingly intense. The allure of a Divine artifact was strong enough to push them to risk their lives.
Next up, they began shouting Tian Yun and Liu Feng"s names a few times even as they slowly approached the Longevity Tower. Naturally, that in itself was no easy task. The Longevity Tower was presently tumbling about within the magnetic region. Due to that, the Ascendant Immortals had to also contend with the magnetic attacks coming from their surroundings.
After some twists and turns, they all managed to get close to the Longevity Tower. In the end, they all worked together to get rid of the surrounding magnetic forces and affix the Longevity Tower on one spot.
However, when the time came to take action, they had still hesitated.
“What is there to fear? There are four of us! Even if those two are planning something, there are only two of them. If you fellows won"t take action, I will be the first to do it!” Ascendant Immortal Max Yang, from the Celestial Ardent Yang Plane, had a more fiery temper. He had long since lost his patience. Thus, he reached forward to grab the Longevity Tower.
Seeing Ascendant Immortal Max Yang take action, Nameless Brahma, Zi Doutian and Ascendant Immortal Alpha took action as well.
Inside the Longevity Tower, Chen Feng and the others prepared themselves for a fight.
“When will we take action?”
“Wait a little longer. Now is still not the time for it.”
The four Ascendant Immortals grasped the Longevity Tower at practically the same time. Then, a formidable burst of power threw them back, causing them to grow shocked. They thought to themselves, This is really a trap!
After that, however, nothing happened.
The four of them pondered the situation and swiftly grew overjoyed. If a magic treasure were to stay silent back then, something was surely not right. At present, however, it would appear that the earlier incident was only the normal act of resistance from a magic treasure.
Due to that, a conflict arose. All four charged to grab the Longevity Tower again, unwilling to let go. Not to mention, every one of them wanted the Longevity Tower for themselves.
Each of them was from opposing factions, after all. Earlier, they had only formed a temporary alliance to deal with the Longevity Tower. Besides, in the face of the allure of the Longevity Tower, a Divine artifact, they would even kill off their own clan brothers and sisters.
Boom!
Without any warning, the four of them began attacking one another. Their attacks erupted and the resulting explosions blew all four backwards. Once again, the Longevity Tower ended up tumbling far away.
Add the magnetic forces around them into the equation, the Longevity Tower ended up flying farther and farther away. Seeing that, Nameless Brahma and the others grew apprehensive. They had determined that something must have happened to Tian Yun and Liu Feng. Thus, they no longer cared about working together. Instead, they all utilized their respective methods to pursue the Longevity Tower.
Suddenly, the magnetic forces grew stronger, rapidly slicing forward to stop the four of them. In the end, the magnetic attacks managed to leave some wounds on the four Ascendant Immortals.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Formidable auras burst forward from all four. They unleashed their full power to instantly sweep away the surrounding magnetic forces before continuing to charge forward, each faster than the other. In just the blink of an eye, they had arrived before the Longevity Tower again.
As the one with the strongest cultivation base there, Nameless Brahma was the fastest as well. He then waved his hand to collect the Longevity Tower.
Pa!
Unexpectedly, with a loud booming sound, a clump of lightning flashed forward to strike Nameless Brahma, sending him flying. Despite the protection of a Divine artifact"s power, that attack had still left him dizzy and his blood streams roiled about.
“Ha ha ha! That is a Divine Manifold Magbolt! The Longevity Tower is mine!” Zi Doutian, whose figure was encased in a clump of blood-coloured energy, reached out with one hand to grab the Longevity Tower.
Sou!
After obtaining the Longevity Tower, Zi Doutian moved swiftly, twisting his body to evade Ascendant Immortals Alpha and Max Yang.
Bang! Bang!
It was then that two more clumps of lightning appeared. There had been no warning at all. And even though Zi Doutian had been prepared, the two clumps of lightning had still elicited a wretched cry from him and his figure was sent tumbling backwards. Naturally, the Longevity Tower ended up slipping away from his grasp in the process.
