Chapter 926 Facing Profound Origin

Translator: podao001

After taking back his Immortal artifacts, Chen Feng charged out from the immortal palace. He did not falter. Instead, he returned to East Dragon Island’s camp. There, he ordered them to enter a state of emergency and be prepared for a battle at any moment.

To Chen Feng’s surprise, Warlord Pavilion remained quiet. Not a single person appeared. Seeing that, Chen Feng secretly chuckled. The fact that they were so quiet meant that there was a problem somewhere. That said, them not attacking East Dragon Island was for the best. Next up, they would need to join forces to deal with the cultivators from Profound Origin World.

“Heh! Now that it’s come to this, how will we deal with Profound Origin World’s forces?”

They waited for the decisive battle to start. After sensing the sky-vaulting aura of the cultivators from Profound Origin World, the forces of East Dragon Island and Warlord Pavilion appeared on a mountain, one on either side.

To Chen Feng’s surprise, Zhan Ming, Zhan Lu and the others Human Immortals that he had killed off back then also appeared before him, looking as vigorous as ever. Only, the glare they gave Chen Feng was filled with killing intent.

“To be able to so quickly resurrect them, looks like the Warlord and his immortal palace possess quite the ability. Still, those Earthen Immortals whose souls were destroyed could no longer return.” Chen Feng smiled.

Zhan Ming and Zhan Lu swiftly made their way to stop right before East Dragon Island’s camp, where they spoke up.

“Our two forces will deal with half each. As for the rest, we can only leave it to fate.”

Chen Feng had no interest in doing anything to them and he waved them off. Seeing that, Zhan Ming and Zhan Lu returned angrily.

“Looks like the situation does not look good.” Chen Feng mumbled to himself. The aura of the distant forces from Profound Origin World swelled. One glance was all it took to determine that they were united in their objective. This was not something that East Dragon Island and Warlord Pavilion could match up against.

Still, there are some familiar faces here. Chen Feng’s gaze made its way through space to arrive at Profound Origin World’s camp and he saw a group that had attempted to ally with him back then. Only, Chen Feng had rejected them back then.

“What a coincidence.” Chen Feng smiled.

Boom!

A 10,000-zhang-long blade pierced through space as it attacked Warlord Pavilion. And thus, the battle began.

Moving away from Warlord Pavilion, another blade shot towards the cultivators from East Dragon Island. The cultivators from Profound Origin World had worked together to unleash this attack.

“Attack!” Chen Feng shouted and his subordinates attacked together. The attacks they unleashed form something of a whip, swirling around in circles to entangle the massive blade shooting towards them. This was the power of water that most of the cultivators from East Dragon Island had unleashed.

As expected, although the massive blade managed to slash its way through the layers of obstruction created by the whip, it ended up slowing down. The power behind the blade rapidly fell.

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

Next, four sword beams struck the blade in quick succession to blow it up.

“That’s just a probing attack. Profound Origin World’s side is not going all out,” Chen Feng said.

“Island Lord, what should we do?” A middle-aged, peak-level Human Immortal approached Chen Feng.

“Don’t need to ask me. Just what you usually do during our trainings,” Chen Feng replied indifferently.

“Profound Origin World’s forces are too strong. Even if we join forces with Warlord Pavilion, we are likely no match for them, unless Island Lord...”

“Enough! There is no need to ask me. When the time comes, I will take action. However, you fellows must go all out for this. Besides, the opponents’ experts might be able to entangle me.” Chen Feng waved him off. Seeing that, the middle-aged cultivator dared not say anything else and he quickly moved away.

Number wise, East Dragon Island’s cultivators were in a disadvantage. Thus, they went on the defensive. Thankfully, there were many water yaos amongst the cultivators from East Dragon Island. Most of them cultivated water-type secret techniques and layer after layer of defensive magics blocked the attacks aimed at them.

As for Warlord Pavilion, Chen Feng did not bother giving them too much attention. He only knew that they had utilized their Immortal artifacts to engage in a spectacular battle with those from Profound Origin World.

Finally, the cultivators from both sides made contact and they began killing one another in close combat.

The initial clash left all parties with casualties.

A stream of cultivators charged towards the cultivators from East Dragon Island.

“So, it’s you. How unexpected. Back then, we did not form an alliance. And now, here we are as opponents,” one of them, a dark-faced cultivator with a mighty body, said with a smile. It was none other than the loose cultivator, Chen Xuan.

Chen Feng nodded. Next, black light shot out from his eyes. As a result, Chen Xuan cried loudly as his figure hurtled backwards. The black light charged forward and the tens of cultivators near Chen Xuan were all sent flying as well.

Chen Feng had only just beaten them back instead of directly killing them. Following that, Chen Feng utilized his Magic Eyes of Darkness to display the Nocturnal Curtain move and their surroundings seemingly became covered by a black curtain, causing the cultivators there lost their sense of sight. Due to that, the rate at which Profound Origin World’s cultivators were attacking fell. In fact, it also became somewhat chaotic.

However, it did not take long before the Nocturnal Curtain move was sliced into pieces by several rays of sword light. Next, countless sword beams shot towards Chen Feng.

By then, East Dragon Island’s army had already finished up their preparations. Three water dragons roared as they charged forward, creating chaos amongst the cultivators from Profound Origin World.

Chen Feng’s objective was not to simply kill. Rather, it was too sow as much chaos as possible amongst the ranks of the cultivators from Profound Origin World.

That said, Profound Origin World’s side was quick to respond. At any rate, the ones who could participate in this Planar War were all handpicked elites. More, Profound Origin World was a world with a greater foundation than Eternal World. It was said that the cultivators from Profound Origin World could absorb Profound Origin energy to cultivate themselves. Unfortunately, the amount of Profound Origin energy was both limited and lacking. All in all, it could only be put on the same level as the other low-level life-bearing worlds. In fact, it was not even on the same level as the Demon Plane.

After a series of clashes, East Dragon Island’s army finally exhausted all of its moves. Having gone all out, they did manage to inflict some casualties and sow chaos amongst the enemy. However, the enemy cultivators were quick to reorganize and East Dragon Island’s army gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

Despite their circumstances, Chen Feng felt somewhat fortunate. The ones he faced were the loose cultivators from Profound Origin World. At that very moment, the cultivators from Profound Origin World’s first-rate sects were engaged in battle against Warlord Pavilion. With just a glance, Chen Feng was able to determine that Warlord Pavilion will not be able to stop their opponents from clinching a victory.

Still, Warlord Pavilion possessed Immortal artifacts, Earthen Immortals and a high number of Human Immortals. They should be able to hold on for a while longer.

Chen Feng’s divine sense scanned and he was able to clearly determine the circumstances of every cultivator from East Dragon Island. Truth be told, since their first battle in this Planar Battlefield, East Dragon Island had been suffering from casualties. There was no such thing as a war without any casualties, after all. No matter how powerful a certain force may be, there was no way for it to avoid casualties.

By then, East Dragon Island’s army had lost close to 20% of their combat power. A portion of the loss was from bodily wounds. Chen Feng had kept these cultivators into the Longevity Tower so that they may recover there.

A loss of 20%. When compared to the other sects, this was neither too much nor too little. For Chen Feng, however, it was high enough. Even so, Chen Feng also knew that more losses were inevitable.

The only exception would be for him to forbid his men from engaging in any more battles, but doing so would be a violation of the rules. That said, putting them in a safe place for a moment should not be an issue.

The momentum of the cultivators from Profound Origin World grew increasingly strong and East Dragon Island’s army was finally incapable of holding on. Cultivators were constantly falling and Chen Feng found that he was left with no time to collect all the soul powers of the fallen cultivators.

It’s about time. These cultivators are all the elites that I brought out. To have all of them die here is not worth it. Thus, Chen Feng took action. The Longevity Tower abruptly flew out. Hovering up in the sky, it then sucked in all of the cultivators on East Dragon Island’s side.

“Fellows from Profound Origin World, let’s just stop here.” Chen Feng’s voice came from the Longevity Tower.

“An Immortal artifact! It’s just a low-grade Immortal artifact. Everyone, attack together! Even if we cannot break this Immortal artifact, we can quake those inside to their deaths!”

“Attack!”

“Bring out our Immortal artifact!”

The attacks from tens of thousands of cultivators from Profound Origin World struck the Longevity Tower that was hovering up in the sky. Rotating slowly, it simply allowed the attacks to strike it. Only during the occasional pauses from Profound Origin World’s side would it fire out one or two counter attacks of its own.

Later, the cultivators from Profound Origin World also brought out their Immortal artifacts. The shockwaves from just one clash between the Immortal artifacts caused the entire battlefield to shake.

Inside the Longevity Tower, all the cultivators brought inside were seated in a complex arrangement and all of them channelled forth their power to help the Longevity Tower block the attacks.

“Island Lord, will we be able to stop them? They also have Immortal artifacts,” one of them asked, a note of concern in his voice.

“Don’t worry. Although this Immortal artifact of mine is only at the low-grade Immortal tier, its body is very hard. Even if the enemy mobilizes a mid-grade Immortal artifact, they will still be incapable of doing anything to us,” Chen Feng responded calmly.

That was the truth. At that very moment, the Longevity Tower had – as a result of absorbing some strands of Divine artifact power and Immortal artifact fragments – fallen into a state of slumber. Due to that, only a limited portion of its power could be utilized. Even so, it should have no problems serving as a shield against enemy attacks.

More, the Longevity Tower was still able to absorb energy. Due to that, most of the attacks aimed at the Longevity Tower actually had their energy absorbed by the Longevity Tower instead. The same was true for the attacks from the enemy’s Immortal artifacts.

In the end, the Longevity Tower did not even deign to counter attack. It simply rotated slowly up in the sky. After spending some time attacking to no avail, the cultivators from Profound Origin World grew frustrated and they began hurling verbal attacks at it. Chen Feng, however, did not care. He simply did nothing as they continued shouting.

The enemy cultivators looked at the Longevity Tower, feeing terribly vexed. More, looking at it gave them a headache. Due to that, they decided to simply give up on attacking the Longevity Tower and instead focused all their attacks on Warlord Pavilion.

You want to hide and not come out? Fine! I’m not fighting you!

“Island Lord, they are attacking Warlord Pavilion. Should we take action to help?” one of the cultivators there stepped forward and asked. He was not a cultivator from East Dragon Island. Rather, he was a loose cultivator who joined in later.

“What is it? Do you want to go out and help them?” Chen Feng asked.

“I wouldn’t dare. I will obey whatever Island Lord says,” the cultivator hastily said.

“If so, hurry up and just go back!” Chen Feng shouted, an air of majesty erupting out from him to shock the cultivator into rapidly backing away. This move from Chen Feng caused the cultivator to become completely soaked in his own sweat.

“Looks like my reputation is not strong enough. Or perhaps, it is because my authority is not high enough? Or is it because the name East Dragon Island is not famous enough?” Chen Feng said. Hearing those worlds, the cultivators from East Dragon Island immediately straightened their backs, their essence, energy and soul powers growing a notch stronger. Seeing that, the hearts of the loose cultivators shuddered.

“East Dragon Island, are you fellows planning on just watching the show?!” Suddenly a furious voice made its way over to them.

“Ha ha ha! Looks like Warlord Pavilion will not be able to hold on for much longer.” Chen Feng laughed and ignored it.

“If our Warlord Pavilion is defeated, your East Dragon Island will be left alone! How will you deal with this enemy force?” The Earthen Immortals from Warlord Pavilion were finally incapable of holding back.
