“One each.” Chen Feng waved his hand and a golden bead appeared in both the Dark Kirin and Huo Yunlong"s hands.
“Golden Bead!” The two of them recognized the item at almost the same time.
The Dark Kirin was someone who had inherited the Dark Scripture, after all. As for Huo Yunlong, he was from the Immortal Plane. Thus, he was also someone with a good deal of experience.
“For cultivators who cultivate the grand dao of metal, this Golden Bead is a priceless treasure. However, I can only use it to refine other magic treasures,” Huo Yunlong said, keeping the Golden Bead.
“The gains don"t quite make up for the losses. I was wounded too badly.”
“Wounds at this level are nothing for you guys. There should be some more good items here on this planet. Right now, the most important matter is to finish off the extrterrestrial creature,” Chen Feng said. With a wave of his hand, starlight shone and a river of stars erupted outwards to create an imagery of bedazzling stars, which attempted to stop the extrterrestrial creature that was charging towards them.
Sou! Sou!
Two beams of golden light broke through the curtain of stars and – their power undiminished – slashed at Chen Feng. The extrterrestrial creature was already extremely infuriated and all it wanted to do was to kill off Chen Feng.
Wielding the Immortal Slaughter Sword, Chen Feng rapidly rushed forward, his figure flas.h.i.+ng twice to shatter the two beams of golden light.
“My turn. I"ll stop this extrterrestrial creature and you fellows go search for the treasures. But be careful. This planet feels somewhat peculiar. There might be other dangers on this planet,” Chen Feng said, riding on the river of stars with the immortal sword in hand as he stopped the extrterrestrial creature.
“You be careful.” Huo Yunlong and the Dark Kirin exchanged glances before splitting up. In just the blink of an eye, they had disappeared from sight. In their opinion, as someone who possessed the protection of pseudo-Divine artifacts, even if Chen Feng were incapable of killing off the extrterrestrial creature, he should have no issues defending himself.
That was indeed the case. Naturally, Chen Feng was no match for this extrterrestrial creature that could singlehandedly kill off that many True Immortals. However, utilizing the Bedazzling Star Map and Primary Spirit Diagram of First Origin to entangle the extrterrestrial creature was still within his capabilities. That said, it was quite close and there were several instances where the extrterrestrial creature almost managed to entrap Chen Feng. It was all because Chen Feng was not strong enough.
After exchanging blows a few times, though, the extrterrestrial creature began growing wary. It stopped acting carelessly against Chen Feng, but Chen Feng was firmly entangling it, making it impossible for it to leave. Thus, all it could do was to bellow furiously a few times as it continued fighting Chen Feng. But Chen Feng then noticed that the extrterrestrial creature was able to quickly calm down to focus on fighting him. It appeared not as concerned about the actions of Huo Yunlong and the Dark Kirin anymore.
Could there actually be other dangers on this planet? Chen Feng began feeling worried. This mysterious s.p.a.ce was simply too dangerous. One careless mistake could end with death, even for a True Immortal.
After evading the extrterrestrial creature"s attack, Chen Feng said with a smile, “Fellow senior, why bother fighting us to the death here? We are only here to find some items that we need. Besides, from what I can see, this s.p.a.ce is very big. Wouldn"t it be better for us to work together to explore this place?”
“This is my territory. This planet is my belonging. If you outsiders leave right now, I will not pursue what happened earlier. As for those Golden Beads, consider them a gift from me. But if you fellows start asking for a mile after given an inch, I have plenty of ways to kill off you fellows.”
Hearing the extrterrestrial creature"s reply caused Chen Feng to scoff inwardly.
“It"s just one planet. Surely, it is nothing compared to the corpse of a Heavenly Immortal, no?” Chen Feng continued smiling, the Chaos Chain swirling around him slowly to block all the incoming attacks.
“How did you know about that?” The expression on the extrterrestrial creature"s face changed.
“I have a way to collect the Heavenly Immortal"s corpse. How about it? Do you want to partner up? Besides, if we really have to duke it out, I am not afraid of you. Consider it properly. Rather than end up in a mutually destructive scenario, why not work together to obtain greater benefits?” Chen Feng quickly backed away to hover above an asteroid.
The extrterrestrial creature"s face flickered with uncertainty. Clearly, Chen Feng"s words did have some effect.
“I am unable to trust you. I do not believe that you can approach the Heavenly Immortal"s corpse,” the extrterrestrial creature slowly said.
Chen Feng then beckoned and strands of energy were pulled over from their surrounding s.p.a.ce. Upon arriving at Chen Feng"s palm, all the strands of energy disappeared. They were none other than the death energy that could erode everything. And yet, they were incapable of affecting Chen Feng in the slightest.
Seeing that, the expression on the extrterrestrial creature"s face flickered a few more times.
“Although you possess those magic treasures, I am still dubious about your claim. Your cultivation level is simply too low. How about this? Do me a favour and I will give this whole planet to you,” the extrterrestrial creature then said.
“This planet is very valuable. I am curious as to what kind of favour you need from me?” Chen Feng smiled.
“Help me kill a cultivator.”
“There are still others inside this s.p.a.ce?” Chen Feng"s eyes flashed with light.
“Many.”
“Deal.”
Boom!
After the two of them came to an agreement, the extrterrestrial creature"s body radiated with a glaring light and the entire planet began shaking. Countless energy fluctuations emerged from the planet and runes flashed and flew about as they all converged into streams of power before entering the extrterrestrial creature"s body.
It did not take long for the planet to return to a state of tranquillity. At the same time, Huo Yunlong and the Dark Kirin also returned to hover beside Chen Feng.
“I have removed all the restrictive arrays on this planet. From this moment onwards, this planet is yours,” the extrterrestrial creature said.
Chuckling, Chen Feng then waved his hand and the planet disappeared. It was not stored inside one of the pseudo-Divine artifacts. Rather, it was brought into the Longevity Tower. Although Chen Feng had been in control of the two pseudo-Divine artifacts for quite some time, he had the most faith in the Longevity Tower. At any rate, he still could not fully control the two pseudo-Divine artifacts. If would be a serious loss if something were to happen.
Watching the planet disappear, the extrterrestrial creature sighed. The planet was very strange. Although it had been tens of thousands of years since it obtained it, it had yet to fully grasp it. There were still some mysterious places there that it had yet to fully explore.
However, thinking about what they would be doing next, the extrterrestrial creature"s mind calmed down.
“Before I help you kill that someone, you will need to help me kill some fellows. Naturally, the one who contributes the most gets more loot,” Chen Feng said with a smile.
“Not a problem,” the extrterrestrial creature replied.
“One more question. My name is Chen Feng. How should I address senior?”
“I dare not claim to be a senior. You can just call me Premier Golden Earth.”
“Premier Golden Earth, your name reflects your person.” Chen Feng felt amused.
As the two of them were chatting, several cultivators – positioned around them – began revealing themselves. They were none other than the True Immortals from the Immortal Plane who were chasing after Chen Feng. Chen Feng had noticed them at the same time that they found him. That was why he had asked Premier Golden Earth for help. On Premier Golden Earth"s side, he simply thought nothing of the True Immortals. More, he would also be able to gain something by killing off the True Immortals.
“The death seekers are here. Since we will be partnering up, we should practice a little first.”
As Chen Feng spoke, starlight flashed all around his body. A river of stars flowed and a cl.u.s.ter of stars enveloped the surrounding s.p.a.ce. In just the blink of an eye, their surroundings had transformed into a starry s.p.a.ce, with the True Immortals encased within it.
“Attack!”
Both Huo Yunlong and the Dark Kirin disappeared from sight. Seeing that, Premier Golden Earth hesitated for a moment. After making up his mind, he gritted his teeth and joined the fight.
It was a very simple battle. Due to the pressure from the pseudo-Divine artifacts that Chen Feng brought out, the three of them had an easy time dealing with the True Immortals. Huo Yunlong managed to kill one, the Dark Kirin sealed up two while Chen Feng made use of the Primary Spirit Diagram of First Origin to sweep up one. As for Premier Golden Earth, he killed off five of them almost immediately. The remaining three responded by unleas.h.i.+ng their full might, displaying secret techniques to turn tail and run away.
Seeing this result, Chen Feng felt his heart stirring. Back then, his party had to flee from the True Immortals all the way until they reached this mysterious s.p.a.ce. But now, it would appear that the True Immortals had suffered from serious casualties. Most important of all, this had happened without a b.l.o.o.d.y battle between Chen Feng"s side and the True Immortals from the Immortal Plane.
Just consider it bad luck on their part for casting greedy eyes upon me. However, if we hadn"t come across this place, we would likely still be flying through s.p.a.ce.
“Premier Golden Earth, it"s about time you tell us who we are up against, no?” When Chen Feng said that, he noticed a peculiar look flash across Premier Golden Earth"s face. It looked like fear.
“That"s right, senior. Are you not afraid that we would just book it now that we"ve already gotten what we wanted?” Huo Yunlong interjected.
The Dark Kirin nodded, in agreement with Huo Yunlong"s view.
“If you fellows know just how many treasures there are here, you will understand my actions from back then. Compared to what we will be obtaining next, that planet is nothing. Still, this is a gamble. I am betting that you fellows would be willing to work together with me, betting that you fellows will be able to unleash the power that I need you to unleash. But if you fellows dare lie to me… hah! Even if it means chasing you fellows to the ends of this universe, I will kill you all,” Premier Golden Earth said.
“Do you even have that ability?” Huo Yunlong said, a note of displeasure in his voice.
“All right, then. Since we are allying with one another, let"s talk about the details. We are new here. So, we do not know much about the situation here. I hope you can explain it to us,” Chen Feng said.
“This place is incredibly ma.s.sive. I used to be a star wanderer, but it"s been 300,000 years since I first entered this s.p.a.ce. That said, even now, my understanding of this s.p.a.ce is far from sufficient. Rather, it would not be an exaggeration to say that I have only understood a smidge of this place.
“Though, one thing I can confidently tell you fellows, there are the corpses of Heavenly Immortals here, more than one. This is also why the power of death here would become increasingly strong. It is also why so many outsiders would die here.”
“More than one.” Chen Feng and the others exchanged glances.
“Are you certain those are Heavenly Immortals?”
“Certain! I had personally seen three corpses before. One is a human cultivator, one is a yao beast and another is a ma.s.sive unique, extrterrestrial creature. However, the atmosphere of power their corpses emanate is simply too strong. I was incapable of approaching them.” After saying that, Premier Golden Earth paused, seemingly recalling what happened back then.
“For real?” Chen Feng secretly asked Tower. After pondering for a moment, Tower said, “I can indeed sense two waves of power, both at the Heavenly Immortal stage. But there is a great distance between the two. As for the third corpse, I cannot sense it. Still, this extrterrestrial creature is likely telling the truth.”
“In other words, this mysterious s.p.a.ce also plays host to other formidable cultivators and extrterrestrial creatures?” the Dark Kirin then asked.
“Yes. In truth, there are many characters that are stronger than me here. Ranking wise, I am only somewhere in the lower-mid ranking. Additionally, this place I am occupying is just the peripheral area. There are not many treasures here. It is said that the very depths of this mysterious s.p.a.ce contain treasures that are even more valuable compared to the corpses of Heavenly Immortals.” Saying that, a fiery look glinted across Premier Golden Earth"s eyes.
