Chapter 812 Tie Yuan Wounded

Translator: podao001

This item Chen Feng brought out was none other than the Immortal Skylodge Palace that he had not utilized in a while. It was something left behind by Ascendant Immortal Skylodge. Although it was just a low-grade Immortal artefact, it was massive, containing countless magic arrays. Not to mention, it was created using countless rare and wondrous materials. Even for an unweakened Ascendant Immortal, getting hit by it would cause serious injuries.

That was the reason behind the old man’s shock. He quickly tried to evade. However, this was a sudden sneak attack from Chen Feng. Additionally, the power of the Immortal artefact was sealing up the surrounding space. Due to that, there was no way the old man could swiftly get out from the immortal palace’s range of attack.

And so, the immortal palace smashed down against the old man. The Immortal artefact’s formidable power surged into the old man’s body, causing it to swell up rapidly as a series of popping sounds rang out from it. It was the sound of the old man’s bodily world breaking down.

“Chance! Longevity power, empower me!”

Wielding the Heaven Piercing Lance, Chen Feng linked up to the Celestial Longevity Plane and charged towards the old man with an indomitable atmosphere of power.

Since the old man was in a dire strait, he would make use of the opportunity to kill him. Chen Feng himself was burning his own life and essence, pushing himself beyond his limits. Killing off an Ascendant Immortal would greatly benefit him.

Puchi!

The lance pierced the old man’s body and its power ravaged the vitality within him.

Boom!

The old man blew up and his essence, energy and soul burned. Seeing that, Chen Feng was first overjoyed, but he then exclaimed, “Chaotically spreading his Sky Fire?! He sure is a resolute fellow!”

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

Countless streams of the power of fire slipped into the void, disappearing from sight. Chen Feng had attacked as fast as he could, but he could only hold back a few strands of the power. Seeing the space there gradually returning to a state of tranquillity, Chen Feng knew that the old man had managed to escape.

“I managed to beat back an Ascendant Immortal. Although it was done by borrowing the power of magic treasures, it is still a joyous occasion.” Chen Feng laughed. Seeing the pleased look on Chen Feng’s face, Tower secretly let out a scornful scoff.

Speaking of which, after recovering his memories, Chen Feng’s relationship with Tower had changed somewhat.

In the past, Chen Feng would interact with Tower in a very casual manner. Occasionally, Tower would ridicule Chen Feng while Chen Feng would sometimes make fun of Tower. They would disagree and joke with one another.

However, Chen Feng had come to realize how important the Longevity Tower was to the Celestial Longevity Plane and its status. A slight feeling of admiration, awe, respect and even worship towards the Longevity Tower had grown within Chen Feng’s heart. It was due to that that Chen Feng had rarely taken the initiative to converse with Tower.

Seeing the changes in Chen Feng’s attitude, Tower secretly grew amused. It was an interesting thing to see in the younger generation. Still, seeing as how Chen Feng was not talking to him, Tower did not take the initiative to ridicule Chen Feng as well.

Of course, Chen Feng’s memories of the past was only of his six-year-old self. As time went by, the relationship between him and Tower would return to their previous state.

Tower pondered for a moment before saying, “The way I see it, the old man is only backing away for now.”

“Just for now? I have already wounded him. Could he be on his way to look for weapons?” Chen Feng said smilingly.

“That is possible.” Tower smiled.

Hearing that shocked Chen Feng, who fell silent. Then, he brought out the map that he had obtained from the old man earlier and flew up as he began searching for the marked location on Planet Voidsoul.

Regardless of whether or not the map was real, he had to go check it out.

As for Lan Ling’s group, they were shocked to notice that the fight had ended. However, they were able to sense that Chen Feng was fine. Thus, they grew at ease and tacitly agreed to search for the old man’s grotto-mansion. As for the display of might from Chen Feng earlier, they were already shocked to the point of numbness. A Human Immortal who could fight against an Ascendant Immortal? They did not even know what to say.

Although Planet Voidsoul was quite big, Chen Feng had a map with him. Thus, he was able to quickly find the grotto-mansion that the old man left behind.

There is really a grotto-mansion here. Looks like he did not lie to me. He must have been planning on killing all of us right after breaking free. That’s why the map he gave me is real. He didn’t tamper with it in the slightest.

He probably didn’t expect he would encounter me. That was a mistake on his part. Chen Feng snickered smugly. Then, he brought out his magic treasures to bombard the restrictive arrays in his path.

At the end of the day, the old man was an Ascendant Immortal. Not to mention, he was a member of the Skyfire Clan. He was much stronger compared to the Ascendant Immortal from the Immortal Plane. Due to that, it was only natural for the restrictive arrays he set up to be extraordinary. Due to the passage of time, the restrictive arrays had weakened somewhat. However, they were still not the kind of arrays that the average cultivator can break. Thankfully for Chen Feng, he was in possession of Dao artefacts and Immortal artefacts. After spending some effort, he managed to break the restrictive arrays protecting the grotto-mansion.

Regarding the Immortal crystals and unique materials stored within the grotto-mansion, Chen Feng nodded. It’s a little strange. The old man was clearly a prisoner on this planet. And yet, he has grotto-mansions here? Was he staying on this planet before getting imprisoned for some reason? However, the cultivator who imprisoned the old man did not come after the old man’s grotto-mansions. Likely, it is because that person did not think highly of them.

Chen Feng mumbled to himself as he speculated. Naturally, he did not care what the situation was. All that mattered was that the harvest there was all his for the taking.

With a beckoning move, he collected all the items within the grotto-mansion into the Longevity Tower. Naturally, while doing so, he had also inspected the items carefully. However, he did not find anything of note.

I wonder if Lan Ling and the others managed to gain anything. Right, they are not strong enough and they also do not possess powerful magic treasures. Even if they find the grotto-mansion, they will likely be incapable of breaking open the restrictive arrays protecting it. After considering it, Chen Feng then moved to look for Lan Ling’s group.

As Chen Feng had secretly left an imprint on them, he was able to quickly locate them.

Upon arriving, he saw that the five of them were joining forces to attack the restrictive arrays protecting the grotto-mansion. However, despite having exerted themselves to the point of getting soaked in sweat, they were incapable of doing much to the restrictive arrays.

“Chen Feng, you are finally here! Hurry, help us break these restrictive arrays!” Seeing Chen Feng, Hu Xian’er’s eyes revealed a look of delight and she quickly shouted.

Chen Feng had obtained a map from the old man while Lan Ling’s group of five obtained another map from the old man. The restrictive arrays protecting the two grotto-mansions were practically identical. Due to that, Chen Feng was able to gain a rough estimate of the items inside the grotto-mansion.

Next, Chen Feng brought out the Deepsea Maelstrom and began attacking the restrictive arrays. Seeing the display of power, they all stared with widened eyes.

“A top-grade Dao artefact! He sure has a lot of good items on him.”

“That’s actually a Dao artefact refined from a massive maelstrom. How enviable!”

“Yes. Although our Absolute Academy recruits genius cultivators from every corner of the world of cultivation, the number of starter-level Human Immortals who can bring out a top-grade Dao artefact is rare.”

“This fellow truly possesses an endless array of cards.”

Seeing Chen Feng attack the restrictive arrays with his magic treasure, Lan Ling’s group of five simply stopped what they were doing. Instead, they watched Chen Feng. On Chen Feng’s side, he did not mind. After he was done blasting apart the restrictive arrays outside the grotto-mansion, the five of them looked at Chen Feng the way one would look at a ghost.

“All right, the restrictive arrays are broken now. I will leave the rest to you fellows,” Chen Feng said, panting slightly.

“Chen Feng, since you are the one who opened the restrictive arrays, you can take half the items inside this grotto-mansion,” Lan Ling said.

“Forget it. I already gained something earlier,” Chen Feng said, waving his hand.

“That’s right! Senior Brother Chen even has a top-grade Dao artefact. Why would he care about items like these?” Hu Xian’er smiled at Chen Feng, a soul-alluring gaze coming out from her eyes. Seeing that, Chen Feng inwardly let out a wry smile.

“No matter how you cut it, this place is something that an Ascendant Immortal left behind. If you are not willing to take half, we will not take anything from this place either,” Lan Ling said again.

“Junior Sister Lan’s words make sense!” Tie Yuan and Feng Jian nodded.

Seeing that, Chen Feng helplessly responded, “Very well. In that case, I will not hold back.”

“That’s more like it. I will go check it out first,” Tie Yuan said, taking the lead to walk inside.

Suddenly, Chen Feng sensed something amiss and he blurted out, “Be careful!”

However, it was already too late. A banging sound rang out and flames erupted from within the grotto. Next, Tie Yuan grunted as his figure flew out. Feng Jian rushed forward to catch him, but he had already fainted.

Sou!

Chen Feng waved his hand and the Deepsea Maelstrom flew out. At the same time, water currents surged into the grotto-mansion to collide against the Sky Fire that was set up inside. Water and fire collided, producing billowing smoke, which then flew out from the grotto-mansion.

In the end, Chen Feng beckoned and strands of Sky Fire flew out from the grotto-mansion to fall into his palm.

“All right, it’s safe to enter now.” Chen Feng’s palm shook as he collected the Sky Fire. That was a top-grade power of fire that he could slowly devour and refine to improve his cultivation base.

“What kind of fire is that? How can it be so powerful?” Chen Xing’er uttered out in surprise.

“A variant fire that does not exist on our Eternal World.” Chen Feng gave a casual answer.

“Let’s go check Tie Yuan first.”

Tie Yuan was in a very miserable state. His whole body was charred and there was no way to clearly see his face. The life force within him kept weakening. Furthermore, he was unconscious. He would not live long unless he was treated soon.

Feng Jian quickly brought out some medicinal pills, shoving them all into Tie Yuan’s mouth. As for Lan Ling and the others, they quickly channelled their strength to treat Tie Yuan.

However, despite their efforts, they were unable to do much. Tie Yuan continued to remain in an unconscious state. And although his aura had stabilized somewhat, his vitality continued to weaken.

“Let me.” Chen Feng stepped forward to channel a stream of longevity-type primary energy into Tie Yuan’s body. Next, he brought out some Dawnsource Crystal Water, which he poured onto Tie Yuan’s body.

Pa!

As Tie Yuan’s body absorbed the Dawnsource Crystal Water, the cracked skin on his body began cracking apart as new flesh and skin grew. At the same time, his vitality surged vigorously. After the longevity-type primary energy circulated within his body a few times, Tie Yuan opened his eyes and sprayed out a stream of black, fiery energy out from his mouth.

“He made it!” Everyone there felt delighted and they all cast grateful looks at Chen Feng.

“I was really unlucky. However, I did not die in the end. That’s all right, I suppose.” The shock from what happened earlier was too great. Tie Yuan could practically feel the God of Death calling out to him earlier. In the end, however, a formidable power had dragged him back to life.
