Chapter 1056 Eye of Darkness

Translator: podao001

“This is a great opportunity.” By then, the Dark Kirin was already gradually calming down. Next up, they had to figure out how to collect the eye.

This item was filled with the power of darkness and its eye power was incredibly formidable. Even cultivators at the same level wouldn’t dare treat it lightly.

“With the Dark Scripture, this shouldn’t be too much of an issue, right?” said Chen Feng after a moment’s consideration.

“Hard to say. There is no telling if the one who left the eye also left some other traps in place. It is possible that, as I am attempting to collect the eye, that person would make use of the opportunity to snatch my body.” Despite saying that, the Dark Kirin continued venturing forward, the Dark Scripture in hand.

It did not take long before a massive, black-coloured eyeball appeared before Chen Feng’s field of vision. Despite the bolstering power of the pseudo-Divine artifacts and Longevity Tower, just one look at it gave Chen Feng the feeling that his soul had fallen into the darkness.

The eyeball was like a planet, emanating a unique eye power at all times, which affected its surrounding space. Rather, it was completely transforming its surrounding space.

Step by step, the Dark Kirin moved forward to quickly disappear into the eyeball.

“I can only depend on myself for this. Chen Feng, do not worry. Just go do whatever you have to do.” That was the final message from the Dark Kirin.

“Tower, what level is this eye at?” Chen Feng suddenly asked Tower.

“The pseudo-Divine tier. Fusing with this treasure will not be easy for this friend of yours. Still, he possesses the Dark Scripture, so his chances of succeeding should be quite high,” Tower answered with a chuckle.

“And if he succeeds?”

“He will be able to advance to the high-level True Immortal stage quickly.”

“Incredible! So fast? I am only a starter-level Ascendant Immortal right now. Isn’t there too big of a difference here? No matter how you cut it, I am still the owner of the Longevity Tower. And yet, even Huo Yunlong’s rate of cultivation is faster than mine.” Chen Feng grew somewhat displeased.

“Your rate of cultivation is already very fast. Most importantly, your foundation is extremely solid. Just you wait until you have rebuilt the Chaos Constitution. When that happens, your rate of cultivation will be at least 10 times faster.”

“Chaos Constitution. Easier said than done. I have already devoured so much essence power but I still do not have much to show for it.”

“You are already very close to the small success phase. And that is all because you were born with the Chaos Constitution to begin with. Any other cultivator can forget about successfully creating a Chaos Constitution, no matter how much essence power they devour. Enough. Along with the opening of the fifth floor, I have obtained some more of my powers and memories. I will need some time to digest them all. If there’s nothing, do not disturb me. Given your present level of strength, you are already strong enough to fight against True Immortals. However, if you encounter cultivators from the other Celestial Planes, you would do well to evade them, particularly those from the Celestial Longevity Plane.”

After saying that, Tower fell silent.

“I am aware of that.” Chen Feng nodded. Looking at the massive eyeball that was gradually becoming hidden within the darkness, Chen Feng and Huo Yunlong then left.

“That fellow got lucky. How enviable!” Huo Yunlong said enviously. Given how big the eyeball was, one look was all it took for him to know that it was a treasure.

“No need to rush. Who knows? You might be able to find an even greater treasure next. Maybe, a Dao Seed of the Fire Essence?”

“Hopefully.”

This time, Chen Feng did not use the pseudo-Divine artifact. Instead, he brought out the Immortal Slaughter Sword, which grew to a length of 100 zhang, becoming like a warship. The two of them then sat down on it and the sword flew forward, its sword energy easily cutting its surroundings.

As they advanced, Chen Feng continued cultivating. Naturally, Huo Yunlong did not simply sat idle either. Only, it hadn’t been all that long since their previous tribulation. In order to advance again, they will have to slowly stockpile more power.

“It’s been a while since we left Eternal World. I wonder how much it has changed,” Chen Feng suddenly said.

“Is there even a need to ask? The Immortal Plane must surely have taken control over Eternal World. I think that Heavenly Firmaments Palace must be in control now.”

“It’s just a matter of time before we return. Heavenly Firmaments Palace thinks it can take over Eternal World? They’ll need to get my permission first,” Chen Feng said.

At that very moment, the cultivators from the East Dragon Island Alliance who were cultivating inside the Bedazzling Star Map had become much stronger than before. Additionally, as they were cultivating inside a pseudo-Divine artifact, their cultivation bases were growing with every passing day.

When we return, we will be sure to give the other party a good shock, Chen Feng thought. It had to be said, thanks to the massive support from Chen Feng, Heavenly Premier Absolute and the others were already close to reaching the True Immortal stage.

“I am thinking of heading to the lightning pond that you were at to cultivate for a while,” Huo Yunlong suddenly said.

“Why?”

“I feel stimulated.”

“Hold that thought. Premier Golden Earth just sent a distress signal.”

“Humph! This fellow didn’t come help us back then. Now, he wants our help?” Huo Yunlong replied with a derisive grin.

“Let’s go. It looks like Premier Golden Earth will not be able to hold on for much longer. I wonder what kind of opponent he is facing?”

...

“Run! Run! Run!”

Premier Golden Earth only had two of his limbs intact and his massive body was completely covered in wounds as he dashed through space non-stop. Several of the wounds were, in fact, see-through holes. Moreover, there were also various powers rampaging within his body. In short, he was in a horrible state, one that could end up killing him off at any moment.

“Chen Feng, hurry up and save me!” If there was any hope left in Premier Golden Earth’s heart, it was for Chen Feng to appear.

Sou! Sou!

Two more beams of sword energy pierced through space to leave two deep cuts on Premier Golden Earth’s body. The resulting streams of sword energy were like agile snakes and they furiously wreaked havoc within his body.

“Damn it!”

Premier Golden Earth was infuriated. However, there was nothing he could do about it. Back then, he had discovered a treasure zone. But before he could enjoy it, he ended up becoming a target of pursuit. If it weren’t for the fact that he had made some sacrifices, he would have been incapable of escaping. Even so, the situation did not bode well for him. Without any assistance, he would certainly be caught and killed in the end.

Boom!

This time, it was a beam of fire which struck Premier Golden Earth. Flames burned and Premier Golden Earth had to give it his all to extinguish the flames on him. Doing so, however, slowed him down.

“Hold on!”

Just as Premier Golden Earth was gradually falling into a state of despair, he heard Chen Feng’s voice.

Due to that, he grew energized and vitality burst forth from within him once more. At the same time, he also felt somewhat touched. Unexpectedly, this human cultivator would actually come save him.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

One after another, beams of sword light appeared to swiftly form a sword array, which protected Premier Golden Earth. Following that, even stronger sword light and flames appeared to assail the cultivators chasing Premier Golden Earth.

“Who? Who dares interfere in the matters of our Heavenly Sword Order and Heart Seizer Faction?” A voice shouted out and the attacks that Chen Feng and Huo Yunlong sent forward were destroyed. At the same time, another force locked down Chen Feng and Huo Yunlong’s positions from afar.

“Are you all right?”

The Chaos Chain flew forward to swiftly pull Premier Golden Earth over. When he was finally in front of Chen Feng, Premier Golden Earth released a sigh of relief. His massive body shrank to assume his human form and he fell onto the Immortal Slaughter Sword.

“Do I look all right to you?” Premier Golden Earth’s aura was in a highly unstable state. Even so, his eyes remained bright.

Chen Feng said nothing else. With a wave of his hand, he sent a stream of longevity energy into Premier Golden Earth’s body. In response, Premier Golden Earth’s body shuddered as the wounds on him healed at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Thanks to Chen Feng’s assistance, Premier Golden Earth was also able to quickly expel the hostile sword energy within his body. Even his severed limbs were already growing back.

“How did you end up in such a wretched state?” Huo Yunlong asked, gloating somewhat.

“Be careful. The other party has numbers on their side.” Premier Golden Earth simply responded while giving Huo Yunlong a look of indifference.

Sou!

The Immortal Slaughter Sword that they were on instantly swerved. It kept on breaking its way through space at a much faster velocity and it did not take long before it pulled far away from their pursuers.

“The other party does not have any experts on their side. We should stop and kill them off.” Huo Yunlong suggested.

“They have nearly 10 True Immortals on their side. We will not have an easy time with them. Besides, this is not the best time to be starting a fight with them.” Chen Feng had his own plans for this.

Speaking of which, many of the cultivators inside the Bedazzling Star Map had broken through again. These cultivators all needed to undergo their tribulations once more. Those below the Ascendant Immortal stage could simply undergo their tribulations inside the Bedazzling Star Map. This was the universe that the pseudo-Divine artifact had created by itself.

In order for the stronger Ascendant Immortals to undergo their tribulations, however, they will need to make contact with the grand dao laws outside. By relying on the Bedazzling Star Map alone, such a thing was only possible if Chen Feng could cultivate up to the True Immortal stage and unleash the Bedazzling Star Map’s full power. Barring that, the Ascendant Immortals would not be able to undergo their tribulations.

At any rate, no matter how powerful a pseudo-Divine artifact may be, it was still no match for the grand dao laws of the universe.

In the end, Chen Feng managed to shake their pursuers. Then, finding a tranquil spot, they set up an illusion array around them and stayed there.

Premier Golden Earth’s wounds healed up rapidly. Thanks to the longevity energy that Chen Feng provided, not only did the wounds not leave behind any internal damage, Premier Golden Earth’s cultivation base was able to rise up slightly. It was an unexpected surprise.

“Compared to this place, I prefer the Death Dimension,” Premier Golden Earth said.

“The dangers in the Death Dimension are tens to hundreds of times greater than this place. However, this place is also not bad. There are many treasures here. Only, our luck is not too good and we have not found any. By the way, I wanted to ask. What happened to you back then?”

Chen Feng could not leave this place yet. There was still no news from the Dark Kirin.

“I found a treasure zone.” When he said that, Premier Golden Earth’s face turned dark as he grew somewhat furious.

“Treasure zone? What kind of treasure zone?” Chen Feng and Huo Yunlong exchanged glances.

“A Yin Yang treasure zone. I have never even seen it before. I have only heard of it in legends. It is a place where yin and yang exist in harmony. The power of yin and yang there is extremely pure. Even for a True Immortal like me, upon sensing it, I was unable to control myself slightly. If I can cultivate inside the treasure zone, not only would my cultivation of metal and earth advance, there is even the possibility of me cultivating out the grand dao of yin and yang,” Premier Golden Earth said excitedly.

“A Yin Yang treasure zone.” Chen Feng and Huo Yunlong exchanged glances. They were feeling tempted as well. For a cultivator at Premier Golden Earth’s level to say that, the power of yin and yang contained within this treasure zone must surely be extraordinary.

“If there is something so good, we’ll have to take action. Back then, we couldn’t get the eye of darkness. But this time, we must surely get a share of this Yin Yang treasure zone.” Chen Feng’s eyes shone.

“Let’s hurry. I can’t wait any longer.” Huo Yunlong’s eyes were also shining.

Chen Feng nodded.

Before heading out, however, Chen Feng took action to link up with the grand dao laws of the universe to allow the Ascendant Immortals in the Bedazzling Star Map to undergo their tribulations.
