Chapter 958 Fighting a True Immortal

Translator: podao001

It was none other than the Dark Kirin, who was hiding in the dark. His move succeeded and he caught the golden-armoured cultivator. This was not just a simple grasping move. Rather, the golden-armoured cultivator had become sealed within a Dark Dimension. Most importantly, the Dark Dimension was shrinking and the golden-armoured cultivator sealed within shrank alongside it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The golden-armoured cultivator fought back, unleashing formidable attacks against this move. Seeing that, Chen Feng grew concerned. No matter how powerful the Dark Kirin was, he had yet to reach the True Immortal stage while this golden-armoured cultivator had the power of a True Immortal.

As expected, in the face of the golden-armoured cultivator’s attacks, cracks appeared on the barrier of the Dark Dimension. It was then that a dot of black light entered the Dark Dimension. With a booming sound, the Dark Dimension was compressed into a dot. Needless to say, the golden-armoured cultivator had died.

Senior Dark is so powerful? Did he recover his full power? Chen Feng was shocked to see that.

What happened next shocked Chen Feng even more. The Dark Kirin charged out from the black passageway and made a swiping motion with his paw. As a result, the three golden-armoured cultivators who were besieging Bi Qing were scattered apart.

Even though it had been only a brief moment, the three golden-armoured cultivators had beaten Bi Qing up to a miserable state. He was only able to persist thanks to the supporting power from the Celestial Clearblue Plane.

Bang!

The Dark Kirin’s attack smashed one of the golden-armoured cultivators, sending his figure flying. Chen Feng was quick to pounce and a massive astral blade pierced the golden-armoured cultivator’s body, killing him.

Sou! Sou!

Two streams of black light swiftly flew out from the Dark Kirin’s eyes. In just the blink of an eye, the streams of black light had entangled the other two golden-armoured cultivators.

That’s the Nocturnal Lightsurge and Shackles of Darkness! However, not even an Ascendant Immortal would be able to display such power with those moves. Chen Feng felt puzzled.

Sou!

A bluish-green sword beam pierced through one of the entangled golden-armoured cultivators while the Dark Kirin slapped the last one to death with one swing of his paw.

Next, the Dark Kirin’s massive body rapidly shrank, transforming into a black-clad youngster. He hovered before Chen Feng, his black clothes covered with bizarre-looking patterns. His face appeared aloof, like the incarnation of darkness itself.

“Senior Dark, just now...” Chen Feng had wanted to inquire about what happened earlier.

“That’s the power of the Dark Scripture,” Dark answered coolly.

Hearing that, Chen Feng immediately understood and he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he turned his attention to Bi Qing. By then, Bi Qing had more or less healed up. That said, he continued to absorb the power of the Celestial Clearblue Plane to heal himself.

Finally, the aura of the Celestial Clearblue Plane disappeared. Bi Qing’s figure shook and his cultivation level fell back to the mid-level Ascendant Immortal stage.

“Is this truly the end? Would it be this easy?” Bi Qing appeared somewhat dubious.

“The Immortal Plane is willing to accept this loss,” Chen Feng said smilingly. Despite saying that, though, he was quickly gathering his power.

As expected, after just several breaths’ worth of time, the space before them was suddenly sliced open and another golden-armoured cultivator stepped forward. This time, the invisible aura that this golden-armoured cultivator emanated caused the surrounding space to shake in a fragile manner.

“A real True Immortal!”

“Let’s go!”

Chen Feng and the other two quickly flew away. After travelling across tens of millions of li, the space before them was ripped apart again as the golden-armoured cultivator appeared to stop them.

This time, the three of them did not run anymore. The reason they had run earlier was because they knew that this battle would be of a greater scale than the last one. For fear of affecting Eternal World, they decided to move farther away from it.

“Are you still going to run?” the golden-armoured cultivator said nonchalantly.

“Do you know the consequences of actually coming here with your real body?” Chen Feng asked with a smile.

“There is no need for you fellows to worry about that. I will give you fellows a chance to live. Just come quietly.” The golden-armoured cultivator hovered firmly before the three of them, exhibiting an extreme state of calmness.

Suddenly, a black passageway appeared behind the golden-armoured cultivator and the Dark Kirin’s attack arrived. However, the golden-armoured cultivator casually dealt with it.

And so, the battle began.

Only when facing a real True Immortal did Chen Feng realize how terrifying such an existence was. If it weren’t for the many Immortal artifacts serving as a means of protection, just a simple thought from the True Immortal would have been enough to kill him off.

Bi Qing was only at the mid-level Ascendant Immortal stage. He no longer possessed the combat power that he had back then. Thus, after just one confrontation, he was badly wounded. Following that, he entered the great array as well and worked with Chen Feng to mobilize the great array.

The Dark Kirin linked up to the Dark Scripture, absorbing power from it. Only then was he able to fight against this golden-armoured cultivator, but that was not his real power. Additionally, he was also not a True Immortal. Due to that, he would only be able to hold on for a short time.

By utilizing the great array, Chen Feng brought forth and fused the power of the 36 Immortal artifacts to attack, but he could only annoy the golden-armoured cultivator somewhat. Rather, he could not even deal any damage to the golden-armoured cultivator. The difference between the two of them was simply too big.

I wonder, can a full-powered attack from the Longevity Tower finish him off? Or, could I bring him into the Longevity Tower? Chen Feng wondered.

“If this guy just stands still and allows me to attack him, then maybe. This is a bona fide True Immortal! I can only beat him if my strength can go up by another level or if he is stupid enough to enter the Longevity Tower, but that is impossible,” Tower responded with a ridiculing tone.

“Don’t you have some other cards up your sleeves? Hurry up and use them.”

“Looking at how strong he is, I am not feeling that confident in my final trump card.” Chen Feng shook his head.

“Kid, you’re not thinking about sending me to deal with him, are you? I’ll tell you. Only when your cultivation base has increased can you exert even more of my power. As it is, I will not be taking action. Not unless you can lock him up inside the Longevity Tower. In that case, there will be no need for you to worry about anything else.”

“Easier said than done.”

By then, the entire stretch of outer space had become pitch-black in colour and not a single star could be seen. Chen Feng could even see black-coloured energy currents entering the great array.

“The Dark Scripture has linked up with the Dark Plane. Looks like the Dark Kirin is going all out,” Bi Qing said.

Chen Feng had also cultivated the Dark Scripture. He had even cultivated the Magic Eyes of Darkness. And so, amidst the power of darkness, it felt as though he had become a fish in water. His eyes shone with black light and he was able to see farther and sense far more than usual.

He could see a massive scripture appearing above the Dark Kirin’s head. It had a simplistic appearance, but black-coloured flames kept radiating out from it. However, there were two words shining with golden light on it. The two words were none other than ‘Dark Scripture’. Again, Chen Feng was someone who had cultivated the Dark Scripture. The moment the Dark Kirin brought out the Dark Scripture, the Dark acupoint within Chen Feng’s body roared. The Dark Talisman inside spun non-stop to link up with the aura of the Dark Scripture, bringing Chen Feng a great deal of benefits.

Additionally, the Dark Scripture had also linked up to the Dark Plane, allowing it to receive the support of the Dark Plane. Thus, Chen Feng felt his Dark acupoint growing ceaselessly. His entire being became enveloped within a thick power of darkness and black light surged within his two eyes. It was as though they had become two black holes, capable of devouring the Heavens.

“The Dark Scripture!” Seeing the scripture, the golden-armoured cultivator was initially shocked. Next, however, he laughed.

“Unexpectedly, I would run into the Dark Scripture formed by the essence of the Dark Plane. Lucky!”

Boom!

Chen Feng watched as the golden-armoured cultivator fired out a punch at the Dark Scripture. The simplistic-looking punch contained the power of True laws and immortal dao laws. Everywhere it went, light would surge forward and the darkness around it was blown away. Even the Dark Scripture was shaking violently.

The Dark Kirin had long since assumed his real body, but even his colossal body – supported by the power of the Dark Plane – was incapable of stopping the golden-armoured cultivator’s attack. The golden-armoured cultivator was already a True Immortal, after all. In the face of True laws, everything else was illusionary. Might was all that mattered.

If it weren’t for the restrictions the golden-armoured cultivator faced for coming here, the Dark Kirin would have lost long ago.

“I’ll control the great array!” Bi Qing shouted.

Chen Feng nodded. Next, he utilized the Longevity Tower’s power to instantly link up with East Dragon Island. At that very moment, East Dragon Island was in a slight state of chaos. Even so, it was still at an acceptable level.

A gigantic magic array then appeared above East Dragon Island before spreading outwards. It spread through every part of East Dragon Island’s territory. Furthermore, thanks to the power of the Immortal artifacts, the rate at which the magic array was operating soared.

“All cultivators of East Dragon Island, give the great array your energy!” Chen Feng’s voice reverberated across a radius of millions of li around East Dragon Island.

The cultivators from East Dragon Island did not hesitate at all. Even those who were in the midst of cultivation had quickly woken up to channel their strongest energy into the great array.

“Quickly!”

There was a number of Ascendant Immortals standing guard within East Dragon Island and they all shouted in unison. East Dragon Island had a total of 22 other Ascendant Immortals besides Bi Qing and the Dark Kirin. Around half of them had left to deal with Heavenly Firmaments Palace’s attack while the remainder rapidly took the position of array cores for the magic array. Due to that, the magic array was able to operate even faster.

Extreme Celestial Sect, Heavenly Sword Faction, Four Great Academies and even the cultivators from the other forces took action. At that very moment, in all of Eternal World, East Dragon Island shone with unparalleled brightness as over 100 million cultivators channelled forth a stream of power each into the great array. Next, the great array – through a wondrous method – transported all that power into the Longevity Tower.

The 100,000 great arrays on the second floor of the Longevity Tower spun violently. Even four True laws were thrown into them and the resulting product kept compressing even as it linked up with the surrounding Immortal artifacts to create a resonant state.

“Hmm?”

The golden-armoured cultivator who was in the midst of fighting the Dark Kirin frowned as he sensed a slight foreboding feeling. Just as he was about to check it out in detail, Bi Qing’s attack – unleashed using the great array – arrived at the same time as the Dark Kirin’s attack.

Although the golden-armoured cultivator was confident in himself, he did not act carelessly in the face of the attacks. On the contrary, the golden-armoured cultivator was feeling very wary. He knew quite a bit about the Dark Scripture and how powerful it was.

“All right! Let’s do it!” Chen Feng held the Longevity Tower in his hand as the Longevity Wings abruptly unfurled from his back. It spread to a span of over 500 kilometres. If it weren’t for the Longevity Tower’s assistance in suppressing it, Chen Feng would have lost control over it. There were strands of black colour on the Longevity Wings. More, there were also various streams of light on the Longevity Wings, the manifestation of the power of over 100 million cultivators in East Dragon Island.

The massive Longevity Wings gave a light quiver and Chen Feng instantly appeared before the golden-armoured cultivator, the concept of space becoming nothing to him. Then, with a swing of his hand, a lance appeared to stab the golden-armoured cultivator.

Chen Feng’s actions were beyond lightning fast. Even though the golden-armoured cultivator was able to register Chen Feng’s sudden appearance before him, even though he knew that the situation did not bode well for him, he did not even have the time to react before golden light flared before him and a lance pierced his body.

A hint of dread rose up from the golden-armoured cultivator’s heart.
