“d.a.m.n it! I was teleported out?” Tie Yuanhao"s face sank. He was one of the strongest cultivators amongst the batch sent into the Ancient Battlefield of Immortal Humans. He had originally a.s.sumed that he would be able to obtain a fortune inside. Even if he cannot acquire an Immortal artefact, at the very least, he would be able to obtain an Immortal artefact fragment. Even a.s.suming he could not acquire an Immortal artefact, then at least a Dao artefact would be doable, right? Even if he really, really couldn"t get that, then at the very least, he should be able to get something that would help him rise up to the Human Immortal stage. Unexpectedly, as he was still in the midst of gathering his strength earlier, he was suddenly teleported out. He did not even get the chance to show off his move.
Seeing Tie Yuanhao getting teleported out, even the faces of the Human Immortals from Divine Demon Grotto turned dark. This was the elite genius that they had carefully handpicked for this.
Even so, the Human Immortals held onto a glimmer of hope and asked, “Did you get anything inside?”
Tie Yuanhao"s face turned flushed. After some time, he finally forced himself to answer, “Very little.”
Truth be told, it was not that Tie Yuanhao did not gain anything inside. At the very least, he did obtain the Golden Pills of Nine Apertures and Soul Acc.u.mulation Pill. Compared to some other cultivators, he was in a considerably better position.
Even so, Tie Yuanhao felt very dissatisfied. That was even more so after he found out that some other cultivators who were weaker than him had yet to come out. It was a suffocating feeling.
Hopefully, they all died inside. In the end, that was all Tie Yuanhao could think of in order to comfort himself.
Weng!
The power of s.p.a.ce rippled and another cultivator was teleported out. This cultivator was from Heartless Heaven Sect. Seeing that this cultivator"s cultivation base was roughly on the same level as him, Tie Yuanhao felt better about his situation.
Humans were peculiar creatures. It was hard to stomach seeing others in a better situation than themselves, even if the other party was an ally.
At that very moment, Chen Feng was following the h.e.l.l Dog. They quickly found another place filled with restrictive arrays.
Boom!
Without waiting for Chen Feng to take action, the h.e.l.l Dog swung its paw and a seemingly sky-engulfing blast of power roared forth to break apart all of the restrictive arrays there.
Err, why is this h.e.l.l Dog so diligent? Did it notice the Longevity Tower? Chen Feng felt puzzled at the h.e.l.l Dog"s performance.
At the end of the day, he was only a minor cultivator at the Sky Human stage while this h.e.l.l Dog was a Yao Immortal. It would not be an exaggeration to say that one puff was all it would take for this h.e.l.l Dog to incinerate him to ash.
“What a large herbal field!” After the restrictive arrays were broken, a separate s.p.a.ce was revealed. The medicinal scent coming out from the s.p.a.ce was so thick that it was practically suffocating. Observing the s.p.a.ce, Chen Feng saw that there were row after row of herbal fields neatly arranged inside. He could not even tell how expansive the entire place was.
One glance was all it took for Chen Feng to determine that the number of spiritual herbs here was over 10,000 times more than the number of spiritual herbs inside the Longevity Tower.
“Tower, I"m gonna be rich!” Chen Feng felt excited.
“Unexpectedly, this Ascendant Immortal Skylodge would leave behind so many good items before his death.”
“It"s not that simple,” Tower suddenly said with a solemn voice.
“What is happening?” By then, Chen Feng had also noticed that something was amiss. A violent aura was swelling upwards. It was a lofty and majestic aura. However, it also contained a hint of sinister and heretical energy.
“It"s the guardian of this place. I am not the only guardian Ascendant Immortal Skylodge left on this planet,” the h.e.l.l Dog said awkwardly.
“You already knew that there is something here? If so, what is this guardian? Could it be something on the same level as you?” Chen Feng turned to look at the h.e.l.l Dog. Seeing the expression on the h.e.l.l Dog"s face, a foreboding sensation suddenly rose up to his mind.
“Probably, slightly stronger than me,” the h.e.l.l Dog said, a slight hesitation in its voice.
“What? Stronger than you?!” Chen Feng"s eyes instantly bulged out.
The formidable atmosphere of coercion grew increasingly terrifying and a ma.s.sive yao beast emerged from the void. Upon seeing just how large the yao beast was, Chen Feng took in a sharp breath. The invisible sense of oppression caused Chen Feng to reflexively take several steps back.
It appeared to be a snake-type yao beast and was at least 10,000 metres long. No, it would be more accurate to call it a wyrm. Its ma.s.sive body brought a formidable sense of oppression down upon Chen Feng. Seeing its strong, dragon-like talons and s.h.i.+ning scales, Chen Feng could sense that this was truly a powerful existence.
However, the part that shocked Chen Feng the most was that this ma.s.sive wyrm possessed two huge heads. Seeing that, Chen Feng instantly froze and an odd smile appeared on its face.
“This is-” the h.e.l.l Dog spoke up.
“I know, it is a Two-headed Icefire Wyrm,” Without waiting for the h.e.l.l Dog to finish, Chen Feng interrupted it.
“Wrong. It is not the Two-headed Icefire Wyrm. It is the Two-headed Windbolt Wyrm,” the h.e.l.l Dog said solemnly.
“Eh?” Chen Feng"s face froze, feeling somewhat embarra.s.sed. After a closer inspection, he saw that, even though this two-headed wyrm was similar in appearance to the Two-headed Icefire Wyrm, its colour and the patterns on its body were different.
At any rate, wind, lightning, ice and fire were different elemental powers. Thus, the appearance resulting from the different elements would be different as well.
The Two-headed Icefire Wyrm he encountered in the past was red and white in colour, but this Two-headed Windbolt Wyrm"s body was of a faint-cyan colour.
Additionally, the formidable atmosphere of coercion that it was emanating was over 10,000 times stronger compared to the one that the Two-headed Icefire Wyrm had unleashed. There was a world of difference between a Great Yao and a Yao Immortal, after all.
“Another Yao Immortal. h.e.l.l Dog, let me ask you. How many guardians did Ascendant Immortal Skylodge leave behind on this planet?” Chen Feng"s eyelids twitched.
“Including me, there is a total of four. Originally, Ascendant Immortal Skylodge had many powerful subordinates under him. Unfortunately, many were killed in the war back then. Almost all of them had died there, leaving only the four of us,” the h.e.l.l Dog said sadly.
“If that"s the case, there should be no need for a fight, right? You can just step forward and talk it out with him,” Chen Feng said smilingly.
“I have a bad relations.h.i.+p with Windbolt.” The h.e.l.l Dog let out a dry laugh.
Chen Feng"s face sank and he secretly communicated with Tower.
“Tower, you"re up. This is also a Yao Immortal. Since you can handle the h.e.l.l Dog, this Two-headed Windbolt Wyrm shouldn"t be an issue, right?” Chen Feng was not feeling too concerned.
“He he he he!” Tower merely snickered, not replying at all. Chen Feng had failed to notice the contorted expression on Tower"s face.
“Boundless! Time for you to s.h.i.+ne!” Tower"s face contorted a few times. Finally, he bellowed loudly and his voice bombarded Chen Feng"s sea of wisdom. However, Chen Feng did not notice anything at all.
“I don"t have that much power. I must not waste it,” a deep voice replied.
“That"s your son! Do you not care about him?” Tower snapped back.
“It"s just a minor Yao Immortal. What, are you telling me you cannot handle it? Enough, if there is nothing else, don"t disturb me.”
“You!!!”
Tower became enraged, causing the Longevity Tower to tremble. This time, Chen Feng was able to instantly notice it. However, he simply a.s.sumed that Tower was making preparations.
“h.e.l.l Dog, why did you come here? Why aren"t you guarding your place? Are you itching for a beating here? Also, what is this little human doing here?” The Two-headed Windbolt Wyrm finally spoke. Its four eyes stared at Chen Feng and the h.e.l.l Dog at the same time. It gave Chen Feng the feeling that both time and s.p.a.ce had been sealed.
What a formidable aura! Chen Feng thought. This was his first time seeing such a formidable yao beast. Naturally, the aura of the broken sword that Tower had previously refined was stronger than this. However, they are two different existences. One was a magic treasure while the other was a living creature.
“Two-headed Windbolt Wyrm, did you forget the command that our master, Ascendant Immortal Skylodge, left us before his death?” the h.e.l.l Dog said.
“Naturally, I remember. He just wants to find someone to pa.s.s on his legacy. Are you by chance referring to this kid? Ha ha ha! Too weak! He is not even a Human Immortal! He cannot even endure a puff from me, how can he pa.s.s my test?” The Two-headed Windbolt Wyrm sneered.
“He has already pa.s.sed my test. What else do you want? Surely, you don"t plan on continuing to stay here forever?” As the h.e.l.l Dog spoke, its body began expanding, growing to a length of 1,000 zhang, a match for the Two-headed Windbolt Wyrm.
“Incredible!” Seeing the h.e.l.l Dog grow bigger all of a sudden, Chen Feng was shocked.
“Are you thinking of fighting me? You"re just a defeated soldier. Get lost, or I will beat you up real good. It has been a long time since I fought, my whole body is already itching for a fight,” said the Two-headed Windbolt Wyrm as it gave the h.e.l.l Dog a hostile glare.
“The test that you mentioned earlier, does that involve me beating you?” Chen Feng suddenly asked.
“Originally, that is not the case. However, I find you an eyesore. So, that will be your test now. Ha ha ha! You may choose to attack or retreat, but before you retreat, make sure you take this doggy with you. Naturally, I will be beating it up first.” The Two-headed Windbolt Wyrm turned to look at Chen Feng, an amused expression on its face.
“Sigh!”
Chen Feng sighed. Although he was already quite strong, it was also dependent on who he compared himself against. Against Sky Human stage cultivators, Chen Feng was practically G.o.dlike, a dazzling existence. However, in the face of Human Immortals, he would have a hard time. That was especially so in the face of a high-level Human Immortal. Such an existence would be able to instantly kill off Chen Feng with just one move, let alone this Yao Immortal.
“Fine! I"ll exchange some pointers with you!” The h.e.l.l Dog gave Chen Feng a glance. Next, it gritted its teeth and charged at the Two-headed Windbolt Wyrm.
Its charge caused their surroundings to transform and circular ripples spread out all around them.
Naturally, the h.e.l.l Dog had its own plans. Since getting wounded by the mysterious existence within Chen Feng"s sea of wisdom, the h.e.l.l Dog had decided that it would follow Chen Feng unswervingly. It would surely be able to benefit greatly from this decision in the future. Thus, this was a good chance for it to put on a good performance.
“Bring it! Let me see if you have made any progress over the years.” The Two-headed Windbolt Wyrm snickered and one of its head swayed as it opened its mouth. Next, a circular lightning sphere shot out from its mouth.
Boom!
A loud, sky-jolting boom rang out and the lightning sphere erupted against the h.e.l.l Dog. The h.e.l.l Dog"s hairs were all standing on end and sparks of lightning could be seen flas.h.i.+ng through the surface of its fur. It was quite the awe-inspiring image.
“It"s only so-so,” the h.e.l.l Dog said with a scoff.
“Is that so?” The Two-headed Windbolt Wyrm then turned its other head over as well and opened its mouth to fire out a tempestuous storm.
This was no ordinary storm. Rather, it was a storm created by a Yao Immortal. Just a strand of the wind power contained within the storm was enough to slice apart a mountain. This storm it unleashed was enough to wipe out an empire within Eternal World.
Thankfully, Ascendant Immortal Skylodge had already refined this planet before. If it weren"t for that, a fight between the two Yao Immortals would have been strong enough to casually shatter this small planet.
As the storm was roaring forward, the Two-headed Windbolt Wyrm"s eyes flashed with a cunning look and strands of lightning power flashed out to enter the storm. It was like adding water into a pot of boiling oil. The storm expanded and its power multiplied.
1 zhang = 3.333 m
