As expected, the old man is up to no good. Him hiding his strength aside, most of the things he said earlier were lies. However, the map should be real. I want to see just what he plans on doing in the end. Chen Feng quickly made up his mind.

Boom!

The Deepsea Maelstrom in his hand began rotating furiously to assail the magic array.

As a top-grade Dao artefact, the Deepsea Maelstrom was also an offensive-type magic treasure. That one strike caused the magic array to shake.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Chen Feng continued empowering the Deepsea Maelstrom to attack. For him, this was something of a training session. Recently, he had been spending his time refining this top-grade Dao artefact. In order to utilize more of its power, however, he will need to grow stronger. Additionally, he also needed to train himself by constantly using it.

This right here was an opportunity for him to train himself. At any rate, Chen Feng could not care less about the loss of some spiritual energy. The mountainous pile of spirit stones of varying grades within the Longevity Tower was not something that Chen Feng could exhaust through his normal cultivation sessions.

Chen Feng used but one breath’s worth of time to bombard the magic array at least 100 times. It was even greater than the combined attacks from Lan Ling and the others.

Seeing Chen Feng work so hard to break the magic array, the old man immediately burst into a smile. He could seemingly see freedom.

This old man is just too full of schemes. According to him, there are only the few of us here. However, he had secretly fooled who knows just how many more.

Speaking of which, I am also one of those who were fooled. After reaching that line of thought, Chen Feng smiled.

The Deepsea Maelstrom rotated rapidly and everything sucked into the deep, central part of the magic treasure would be ripped to shreds.

Grabbing the Deepsea Maelstrom, Chen Feng then abruptly changed its attack trajectory, releasing stream after stream of compressed power at the magic array.

After three joss sticks’ worth of time, Chen Feng collected the Deepsea Maelstrom and stopped attacking.

“Ha ha ha! Little brother, why did you stop?” The moment Chen Feng stopped; the old man appeared beside Chen Feng. There was a smile on his bony face. However, it looked even more scary compared to his non-smiling face.

The series of attacks from Chen Feng earlier was simply too ferocious. Should he continue attacking with that level of might, the time he needed to escape would be greatly reduced.

“Sigh! I’ve consumed too much power. I need to recuperate for one month,” Chen Feng replied with a bitter smile.

“Recuperate for one whole month? Surely, it’s not that serious. From what I can see, you are still brimming with energy. Aren’t you doing all right now?” The old man did not believe Chen Feng in the slightest. While Chen Feng saw the old man as a highly crafty and dishonest fellow, the old man also did not believe Chen Feng. In the old man’s opinion, despite his young age, Chen Feng was like a cunning rogue.

“This is a top-grade Dao artefact. Any other cultivator would find it hard to attack even once with it. Earlier, I had utilized our Longevity Clan’s secret technique to push myself beyond my limits. I say, old man. In order to help you break free, I am going all out here. Are you not going to show any gratitude at all?” Chen Feng shook his head as he deliberately put on an act of lethargy.

This little brat! The old man swore inwardly. He knew that Chen Feng was trying to get some benefits from him.

“I can give you some Immortal crystals in advance. What do you think? 100,000 pieces. That should be enough to make up for your loss, no?” The old man suppressed his emotions, forcing out that ugly smile on his face.

“Do I look like I lack spirit stones? You should show sincerity, old man! Sigh! I can feel my vitality draining away. I think I might not be able to recover even after one month.” Chen Feng shook his head, revealing that bitter smile on his face again.

“You don’t want spirit stones? I have some spiritual herbs on me. They are all over 100,000 years old. These are my valuable assets.” The old man gnashed his teeth.

“Spiritual herbs that are over 100,000 years old? Not bad. That will do. Bring out some and let me have a look.” Chen Feng grew delighted. Of course, he did not let it show.

“Here!” The old man waved his hand and a vortex appeared in mid-air. Next, one spiritual herbs after another flew out to land before Chen Feng.

There were 10 spiritual herbs in total. All of them were rare, with their own characteristics. The medicinal power contained within some of them shocked even Chen Feng.

“Not bad!” Chen Feng nodded, collecting the spiritual herbs. Then, he stood up and roared. Following that, a formidable aura charged out from Chen Feng’s body.

Chen Feng was back to his prime and he mobilized the Deepsea Maelstrom to attack the magic array once more.

This guy! Seeing how quickly Chen Feng changed, the old man grew so furious that he ended up with internal injuries.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The power coming from the Deepsea Maelstrom grew ever stronger and the magic array kept shaking, its power constantly diminishing. Not to mention, certain power lines ended up breaking due to the attacks.

Sensing the weakening magic array, the old man was secretly overjoyed. He then thought that bringing out some spiritual herbs for this was worthwhile.

However, good times don’t last long. It did not take long before Chen Feng stopped attacking again.

“What now?” The old man felt frustrated.

“I’ve finished using up the 10 spiritual herbs,” Chen Feng said coolly.

“What? Are you making fun of me?” The old man grew somewhat furious.

“I’m not making fun of you here. You saw the attacks I fired out earlier. With my help, it will be just a matter of time before you escape. However, how can I help you if the benefits are not good enough?” Chen Feng said as-a-matter-of-factly.

“It’s simple, 20 spiritual herbs. All of them must be at least 100,000 years old.”

“20!? Not to mention, spiritual herbs that are over 100,000 years old? Do you think those spiritual herbs are like cabbages?”

“Forget it, then. I will just sit here and slowly recuperate.” Chen Feng then sat down cross-legged, the Deepsea Maelstrom continuing to rotate in his hand. However, it was no longer attacking.

The old man considered it for a moment. In order for him to break free, he would need this kid’s power. Thus, gritting his teeth, he waved his hand to bring out another 20 spiritual herbs.

Kid, I will let you have fun for now. However, once I break free... heh! Thinking of that, the old man secretly smirked.

“Good! Since the items can keep up with my demands, I will be sure to work hard.” Chen Feng smiled, collecting all the spiritual herbs with one wave of his hand.

It was true. Next up, the attacks from Chen Feng were all very powerful and he unleashed over 100 attacks in the span of just one breath’s worth of time, not stopping at all in between.

Seeing Chen Feng put so much effort into it and sensing the weakening restraints, the old man could not stop himself from laughing inwardly.

The Deepsea Maelstrom rotated at an even greater pace to release even more formidable attacks. Likewise, Chen Feng grew more proficient in using the Deepsea Maelstrom, allowing him to unleash even stronger attacks with it.

This time, Chen Feng attacked the magic array 1,000 times. Then, after taking a short break, he attacked again. Seeing that, the old man nodded. He thought to himself. Although this kid is crafty, he did indeed contribute greatly.

However, after unleashing another 200 attacks, Chen Feng then sat down on the ground, panting for breath. Sweat flowed down his body and he appeared very weak.

After resting for a long time, Chen Feng showed no signs of getting better. Finally, the old man could no longer hold back.

“Kid, are you putting on an act here?”

“Do I look like I’m putting on an act?”

“You’re not thinking about getting more spiritual herbs, are you? I don’t have much valuable items left.”

“Heh! Not much valuable items left? Then, I’m afraid you will be incapable of getting others to work for you anymore.”

“Kid, are you thinking of going back on your words?”

“So what if I am?”

“You have a death wish!”

“We’ll have to fight it out to see who dies in the end.”

“Fine! What do you want?”

“It’s simple. I don’t need items like spirit stones and spiritual herbs. I just need you to link up to the Celestial Skyfire Plane and let me absorb the power of that Celestial Plane.” Finally, Chen Feng revealed his goal.

“That’s impossible.” The old man refused.

“Then, there’s nothing else I can do.” Chen Feng shook his head and simply kept the Deepsea Maelstrom.

Boom!

A formidable aura emanated out from the old man’s body, accompanied by thick killing intent. Finally, Chen Feng’s actions had succeeded in utterly infuriating the old man.

“In that case, I will kill you.” The old man grew in size, spikes poking out from his body. On the tip of each spike was a dancing strand of fire.

“Heh, you want to attack? Great! It just so happens I want to see just what kind of skills the Skyfire Clan possess.” Chen Feng abruptly jumped to his feet, taking the lead by firing out a Great Longevity Palm at the old man.

“The Great Longevity Palm. Not bad. However, your cultivation of this technique has yet to reach perfection.” The old man sneered and strands of fire emerged from his body continuously before converging to form a flaming spike. Then, with a sudden stab, it pierced through the Great Longevity Palm. Its momentum did not disappear and it continued to charge towards Chen Feng’s glabella.

An ice orb appeared before Chen Feng. The moment the flaming spike made contact with it, it was instantly extinguished, leaving only a cloud of water vapour.

The ice orb was none other than the Abyssal Ice Orb. Its power of ice was just right in countering the old man’s power of fire.

“A high-grade Dao artefact formed using the power of ice!” The old man’s eyes flashed and the flames on every one of his spikes burned with greater intensity, swelling up to form a curtain of fire, which enveloped his entire body.

“I’ll show you the secret technique of our Skyfire Clan.”

Boom!

Flames surged forward like a great river. Even the sound of flowing water could be heard coming from it. Fiery waves galloped forward with a seemingly unstoppable momentum that could destroy everything in its path. Its target, Chen Feng.

Using the power of fire to create the dao of water. He is truly not a simple Earthen Immortal. Chen Feng did not evade. Instead, he waved his hand to bring out another Abyssal Ice Orb, which he placed before him while the other Abyssal Ice Orb flew in an arcing trajectory, intent on smashing down on the old man.

“To think that you would actually possess two of them. Even so, it is useless! Now, watch as I burn you to death!”

“I would really like to see how you plan on doing that.” Chen Feng sneered, stretching his palm forward to activate the Demonic Heavengorging Art, creating a swiftly-rotating black hole on the palm.

Boom!

The waves of fire assailed the Abyssal Ice Orb, causing dazzling sparks to erupt. The Abyssal Ice Orb was indeed very powerful and it managed to unravel nearly all the power behind the waves of fire. As for the remaining power of fire, they were all devoured by Chen Feng.

“The Demonic Heavengorging Art? How is that possible? You cultivate the Longevity Scripture. How can you cultivate the Demon Clan’s supreme cultivation technique?” The old man was astounded. Next, however, he felt extreme coldness assailing his whole body. The other Abyssal Ice Orb was already upon him.

Popping sounds rang out from the old man’s bones and a stream of fiery-red energy surged out to strike the Abyssal Ice Orb, knocking it off-course. However, the power coming out from the Abyssal Ice Orb had still sent a shiver down the old man’s spine.

“Demonic Heavengorging Art!” The black vortex on Chen Feng’s palm grew ever stronger and even space began contorting. Not a single strand of the power of fire drifting around had the chance to dissipate away as Chen Feng devoured them all.

“Old man, your power of fire is quite good. However, this amount is too small. More!” Chen Feng revealed a savage grin.

“Fine, I will make your wish come true. I would like to see how a minor Human Immortal like you plan on absorbing my Sky Fire!” The old man’s skinny body began swelling up, flesh emerging within his body to give him a more fleshly appearance. The flames in his eyes burned without respite and every flash of light from the flames would cause the old man’s aura to rise by a notch.
