Truth be told, the one million fire diamonds were far superior compared to the average spirit stones. Additionally, the power of fire within them were extremely pure. Cultivators who specialized in fire-type cultivation, even Ascendant Immortals, would choose to s.n.a.t.c.h them.
As for Chen Feng, he was only complaining for the sake of it. After collecting the fire diamonds and dispersing away some more fire beasts, he found the spatial pa.s.sageway there, bringing him to the 9th floor of the Spirit Essence Tower.
Upon entering the 9th floor, the expression on Chen Feng"s face changed again. The streams of spiritual energy on the 9th floor was very thick. It was so thick, it was practically chaos there. Moreover, there was more than just one type of spiritual energy. Rather, there were several types of spiritual energy mixed in chaotically there.
Chen Feng was quick to realize what he faced.
The power of Heavenly Tribulation! Taking a step forward, Chen Feng then reached out to grasp the air and strands of energy flowed into his palm. The strands were of varying colours, every strand representing a different fundamental power.
Chen Feng"s eyes shone brightly and he quickly a.n.a.lysed the nature of the energy streams on his palm.
Water, Fire, Devastation Lightning, Infinite Sky Winds, Profound Vajra Lightning, Cosmic Fledgling Water, Nine Sovereign Fire. Heh! There are so many powers of Heavenly Tribulation here. They are also more complete compared to the ones I encountered. Chen Feng chuckled.
For there to be so many Heavenly Tribulation powers here, what is going on?
As Chen Feng was pondering the question, the Heavenly Tribulation powers began flowing in a certain direction. It seemed as though a certain force there was drawing them all towards it. In just one joss stick"s worth of time, one third of the Heavenly Tribulation powers within the s.p.a.ce had disappeared.
Just as Chen Feng was about to head forward to check it out, a vortex suddenly appeared in mid-air. Surprisingly, the vortex was a spatial pa.s.sageway. With a rumbling sound, large quant.i.ties of Heavenly Tribulation powers poured down from the vortex, causing the Heavenly Tribulation powers within the s.p.a.ce to become concentrated once again.
What is going on here? There is something that can directly absorb the power of Heavenly Tribulation? Not to mention, it can absorb more than one type of tribulation. It is not to be underestimated. Chen Feng"s divine sense swept about, but it failed to detect anything.
It didn"t take long before something absorbed the Heavenly Tribulation powers again. When the concentration of the Heavenly Tribulation powers fell to a certain level, more Heavenly Tribulation powers would pour out from the spatial pa.s.sageway.
Since I do not know what it is, I will have to lure it out. Chen Feng then mobilized the Longevity Tower to absorb the Heavenly Tribulation powers there. In less than one breath, all of the Heavenly Tribulation powers there had disappeared into the Longevity Tower, leaving the entire floor clear.
The spatial pa.s.sageway opened again and more Heavenly Tribulation powers poured in, only for the Longevity Tower to devour them all.
With this, the hidden existence was finally incapable of holding back. A colourful bead appeared and it charged towards Chen Feng.
Seeing the bead, Chen Feng"s eyes grew even brighter and he seemingly forgot that he was under attack.
Just as the colourful bead was about to smash into Chen Feng, Chen Feng brought out the Longevity Tower. The two objects collided and the bead was sent flying.
Seeing that, Chen Feng felt a twinge of regret. If it weren"t for the fact that the Longevity Tower was sleeping, causing the amount of power he could wield to drop severely, he could have collected the bead just now.
No matter what that item may be, upon entering the Longevity Tower, nothing would be able to escape, not even Immortal artifacts.
So, it"s an Essence Spirit Bead! Additionally, it is at the Immortal tier. For others, it could only serve as a magic treasure. For me, however, it is far more valuable. After fusing it into my body, I will be able to cultivate out the Chaos Const.i.tution! Chen Feng rushed forward, in hot pursuit of the colourful bead.
No matter what, Chen Feng must not let this bead slip away. In his opinion, this Essence Spirit Bead was worth five low-grade Immortal artifacts.
As it was a spiritual bead, it was only natural for it to possess spiritual attributes and wisdom. Sensing danger, it decided against fighting Chen Feng and instead transformed into a stream of light to dash far away.
Chen Feng did not let up. In order to obtain the spiritual bead, Chen Feng mobilized the power of his Immortal artifacts. Thanks to their power, Chen Feng"s speed skyrocketed and he quickly caught up to the Essence Spirit Bead.
Chen Feng then stretched his hand out to grasp the spiritual bead.
Suddenly, a great hand streaked through the sky to grab the spiritual bead while two attacks shot towards Chen Feng.
One was a sword beam while the other was an energy beam.
Scoffing inwardly, Chen Feng retracted his hand and waved it to unravel the attacks headed his way. Next, he landed gently on the ground. Although he really wanted to obtain the Essence Spirit Bead, he managed to calm himself down.
He silently observed as three cultivators slowly walked forward, killing intent churning within him. For Chen Feng, those three fellows were already as good as dead.
“Oh, he"s actually a Human Immortal. To think that he would be able to block our attacks. Interesting.”
“Kid, where are you from?”
One of them asked Chen Feng. However, Chen Feng could not be bothered to entertain them. Instead, he simply said, “Hand over the item and you fellows can leave this place alive.”
Chen Feng"s words took them by surprise. Next, however, they all burst into laughter as they cast a look that one would give idiots at Chen Feng.
“Kid, you are just a Human Immortal. You are not qualified to possess an Immortal artifact. I will now give you a chance. Kneel and kowtow to us and we will spare your life.”
“You want me to kowtow? What a joke? Do you fellows even know what that item is?” A look of ridicule flashed across Chen Feng"s face.
“You know what it is?”
Truth be told, the three of them were also feeling very curious about the bead. Although they had obtained the Essence Spirit Bead, none of them were able to recognize it. All they knew was that it was an Immortal artifact. Thus, hearing Chen Feng"s words, they grew surprised. Naturally, they were only slightly surprised.
“That is an Essence Spirit Bead, formed from cosmic essence power. It is capable of absorbing various essence powers. It is especially capable of devouring Heavenly Tribulation powers,” Chen Feng said coolly.
“Kid, you sure know a lot. How about this? You look quite pleasing. I can accept you as my apprentice. Come, kowtow and accept me as your master.” The cultivator who had taken the Essence Spirit Bead looked at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng shook his head. Waving his hand, he then brought out the Heaven Piercing Lance.
The three cultivators had higher cultivation levels than Chen Feng. However, they were only mid-level Earthen Immortals. Three mid-level Earthen Immortals were still not enough to threaten Chen Feng.
On the three Earthen Immortals" side, seeing their Human Immortal opponent bring out a battle lance caused them to snicker in a ridiculing manner. However, when they realized that the battle lance was an Immortal artifact, a look of greed flashed across their faces. Following that, though, they shuddered as fear washed over them.
Don"t joke around! Could some average cultivator bring out an Immortal artifact? Although the three of them were mid-level Earthen Immortals, how could they block the attacks from an Immortal artifact? Besides, they also did not possess any Immortal artifacts of their own as means of protection.
Moreover, not only were they incapable of utilizing the Essence Spirit Bead they obtained, the one holding it had to expend a great deal of power to suppress it instead. Without doing so, the Essence Spirit Bead would immediately fly away.
“Run!”
The three of them were quick to come to the decision. Turning around, they fled.
Only, it was already too late for that. Chen Feng would not let them go. The Heaven Piercing Lance in his hand thrust forward to pierce one of them.
Without even looking at the cultivator who was stabbed, Chen Feng then charged towards the other two cultivators. Getting stabbed by an Immortal artifact meant certain death.
Seeing Chen Feng so easily kill off one of their companions, the other two felt their souls leaving their bodies and they nearly fell in the midst of their flight.
“You fellows are Earthen Immortals, after all. First-rate characters. The fact that you fellows could make it here means that you fellows are blessed by luck. Do you fellows not possess the courage to fight me?” Chen Feng asked. The Longevity Wings had already spread out from his back and he charged forward swiftly. He will be catching up to the two Earthen Immortals in a flash.
Hearing Chen Feng"s words gave the two Earthen Immortals the impulse to puke blood. You wield an Immortal artifact! Who would dare fight you? That"s suicide!
Disregarding their thoughts on the matter, Chen Feng thrust forward with the Heaven Piercing Lance again.
“Kid, you left me no choice!” The targeted Earthen Immortal had wanted to go all out. Unfortunately, he was not fast enough and the Heaven Piercing Lance blasted a hole through him before he could utilize his ultimate move.
There was only one left. This last cultivator had considered turning around to beg for mercy. At any rate, the combat power that Chen Feng displayed had been too terrifying. The three of them had been incapable of fighting back at all.
However, a spatial pa.s.sageway suddenly appeared somewhere in front. Seeing that, a surprised look of delight appeared on the cultivator"s face and he gritted his teeth as he charged towards the spatial pa.s.sageway at an even faster velocity.
The very instant the cultivator made contact with the spatial pa.s.sageway, however, he saw a bright light flash forward and his arm – the one holding the Essence Spirit Bead – was severed.
Boom!
The spatial pa.s.sageway disappeared the moment the cultivator entered it. As for Chen Feng, he reached out with his hand and the Essence Spirit Bead ended up in his grasp.
The moment Chen Feng grasped the Essence Spirit Bead, the bead began shaking, desirous of breaking free from Chen Feng"s grasp. However, by sending out a portion of the Longevity Tower"s aura, Chen Feng was able to promptly still the Essence Spirit Bead.
Great! This spiritual bead is truly a good item. It is capable of devouring cosmic essence powers to cultivate itself and level up. At present, it is only a low-grade Immortal artifact. But with enough time, levelling up to the mid-grade or high-grade Immortal artifact will not be an issue for it. Rather, it might even be able to become a Divine artifact. Should that happen, the chances of me cultivating out the Chaos Const.i.tution will be greatly increased.
Smiling, Chen Feng placed the Essence Spirit Bead before him. Next, the power of the Longevity Tower, Heaven Piercing Lance and Netherbone Lance surged out at the same time to suppress the spiritual bead.
After spending some effort on it, Chen Feng managed to erase the wisdom that the Essence Spirit Bead developed and placed his own divine sense within it. Next, the Essence Spirit Bead transformed into a stream of light and flowed into Chen Feng"s body. Naturally, that was only the starting step of the refining process. Chen Feng would still need to spend a long time to refine it before fusing it with his body. That way, he would be able to unleash its full power.
This harvest is very satisfactory! Chen Feng stopped his cultivation efforts. He must not be anxious about this. He will surely have the time to cultivate in the future.
Chen Feng then found and entered the spatial pa.s.sageway there to head to the 10th floor of the Spirit Essence Tower.
Tsk, tsk. I managed to gain an Essence Spirit Bead on the 9th floor. The 10th floor must have something even better. I wonder, what could it be? Chen Feng grew somewhat expectant.
After entering the 10th floor, however, Chen Feng became somewhat disappointed. In the end, he recollected himself and his gaze kept sweeping around to check his surroundings.
