Chapter 973 Longevity Combat Armour
Translator: podao001
Seeing the appearance of the four cultivators, Patriarch Heavenly Sword and the others swore loudly. This is outrageous! This is the tribulation of an Earthen Immortal, but you’re actually going to send so many Ascendant Immortals against him? How unsightly!
Even Bi Qing had revealed a somewhat serious look. He wanted to see how Chen Feng planned on dealing with them. Naturally, he was not concerned about Chen Feng’s safety. Even if there were twice as many Ascendant Immortals, it would not be an issue. By mobilizing the Longevity Tower, Chen Feng would be able to deal with them all. Only, it was not too convenient to use the Longevity Tower at the moment. Additionally, Bi Qing also knew that Chen Feng would not want to do that.
“Four more have come.” Chen Feng himself was shocked. However, due to the attacks he faced from the other three cultivators, he did not think too much about it.
In the face of the pressure, Chen Feng began displaying formidable sword techniques and killer moves. Sword Intent of Wind and Lightning, Sword Intent of the Blazing Flames, Sword Intent of Meteors. He kept unleashing various moves to suppress and force the three black-clad cultivators to give ground, again and again. That was particularly so with the Meteoric Sword Technique. Streams of sword energy transformed into meteors to pierce the body of the sword-wielding cultivator. But as Chen Feng was about to make use of the chance to kill him, one of the four black-clad cultivators around them charged at Chen Feng with his battle lance. At the same time, the cultivators wielding the whip and great hammer attacked Chen Feng as well.
Gritting his teeth, Chen Feng rapidly rushed forward to unleash an arcing sword light to kill off the sword-wielding cultivator. Only, as a result of his actions, a battle lance struck him.
The battle lance pierced Chen Feng’s skin only to find that it could not advance any further. It was as though this was not a body made of flesh and blood.
“Looks like you’re not strong enough!” Chen Feng scoffed. He swung, displaying the Storm of Sword Beams to send all three black-clad cultivators flying.
Surface wise, Chen Feng was only suffering from some superficial wounds. However, he was secretly gritting his teeth. Normally, power alone would not be able to greatly affect a cultivator at Chen Feng’s level, but the enemy’s battle lance also contained the power of laws. After making its way into Chen Feng’s body, the power of laws began destroying Chen Feng’s flesh and he had to grit his teeth to fight the power, albeit secretly.
“Impressive! Using his fleshly body to take on the attack of an Immortal artifact. With this, Chen Feng should not have any issues anymore,” Patriarch Heavenly Sword said.
“It’s not that simple.” Bi Qing did not appear as relieved as the others. Bi Qing’s ability to judge the situation was greater compared to the others, after all. He was able to tell that Chen Feng was already suffering from internal injuries.
In the face of such severe injuries, any other cultivator would suffer from a decrease in their combat power. In Chen Feng’s case, however, he was able to rapidly recover by channelling the longevity-type primary energy within him.
Next up, the pressure on Chen Feng began piling up. The lance-wielding cultivator who had joined the fray was slightly stronger than the other two. More, there were three others around them as well, all casting predatory gazes at Chen Feng. There was no telling when they would attack.
Looks like I will have to resort to some other methods. For Chen Feng, the highly unpredictable Longevity Steps proved very advantageous against them.
But even that was not enough. Due to the barrier, the amount of space available had shrunk. Furthermore, there was also the suppressive effect of the Heavenly might, which caused Chen Feng’s speed to slow down as the fight progressed.
Chen Feng then deployed the Longevity Wings. By doing so, his speed abruptly became 10 times faster and he swiftly killed the black-clad cultivator wielding the great hammer.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Finally, the other three lance-wielding cultivators attacked. Even though Chen Feng was utilizing the Longevity Wings, something that could defy spacetime, their attacks had still left two bloody wounds on his body.
Following that, Chen Feng began fighting against the five black-clad cultivators. He relied on his speed to deal with them and was able to avoid falling into a disadvantageous position for the time being. Even so, the barrier encasing them was gradually shrinking. It was an extremely disadvantageous development for Chen Feng.
“Good!”
When the cultivators in East Dragon Island saw Chen Feng make use of his speed to kill off the black-clad cultivator wielding the great hammer earlier, they had cheered. However, seeing the five black-clad cultivators join forces to besiege Chen Feng, their faces turned dark.
“To think that something like this could happen! In all my years cultivating, I have never heard of such a Heavenly Tribulation!” Patriarch Hegemon Sword had a more fiery temper and he instantly made to leave.
“Hold! Where are you going?” Bi Qing asked.
“I’m going to help Chen Feng!” Patriarch Hegemon Sword shouted.
“This is a Heavenly Tribulation. If you go, you will definitely be pulled to the Immortal Plane,” Bi Qing said.
That’s right! Hearing that, Patriarch Hegemon Sword felt his heart turning cold and he promptly halted. Earlier, his rage had taken over and he forgot about that.
“But Chen Feng is in danger.” Patriarch Heavenly Sword said as well. They were all able to advance to the mid-level Ascendant Immortal stage thanks to Chen Feng. They were still hoping to be able to shine alongside Chen Feng in the future. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Chen Feng was like a straight path to the top. Thus, nothing must happen to Chen Feng.
“Even if you fellows go, you wouldn’t be able to help much. It’d be better to just stay here,” Bi Qing said.
Although Bi Qing’s words were hard to swallow, they all knew that he spoke the truth. Thus, despite their anxiousness, they all suppressed their emotions and waited.
In the face of the five black-clad cultivators’ combined siege, Chen Feng felt a suffocating pressure bearing down on him. Without the speed of the Longevity Wings, he would have lost already.
The whip-wielding cultivator sealed many of Chen Feng’s evasive options while the four lance-wielding cultivators rushed towards Chen Feng to engage in a melee battle with him. On Chen Feng’s side, he had already displayed 120% of the Longevity Sword Technique’s essence.
Charge out! Gritting his teeth, Chen Feng endured a hit and his Longevity Wings flapped to promptly bring him out from their encirclement. The sword in his hand then swiftly stabbed forward to pierce through the barrier. Next, Chen Feng flew out from the barrier. Without the barrier to restrain him, Chen Feng’s movement speed rose greatly. Under such conditions, even if there were several more black-clad cultivators, even if Chen Feng was incapable of defeating them, he would still be able to evade their attacks.
Chen Feng’s plan was certainly a good one. With enough space, he was able to rely on his peerless speed to counter attack. Sword light flashed out and two of the lance-wielding cultivators were wounded. He was even able to hack off part of the whip-wielding cultivator’s whip.
Just as Chen Feng was about to kill off one of them, the tribulation clouds parted and more cultivators descended. This time, up to six cultivators appeared.
All six was riding a wyrm each. Wielding an assortment of weapons, they all had a river flowing above their heads. Moving to take up positions around Chen Feng, they once again set up a barrier. The pressure emanating from this barrier was even stronger than the previous one.
Seeing that, Bi Qing’s face sank and he immediately leapt up into the sky to quickly enter outer space.
“You fellows stay here first. I’ll check it out.” Patriarch Heavenly Sword and the others had wanted to follow suit when they heard the words that Bi Qing left them.
“Alright, let’s stay here for now. But if any danger befalls Chen Feng, I will take action, even if it means risking an ascension!” Patriarch Heavenly Sword said furiously.
“It should be fine.”
“There are 11 Ascendant Immortals there. Even if all of us go there, it will still not be an easy battle.”
“Do not forget, Chen Feng possesses a Divine artifact. Even if his tribulation fails, he should be fine, right?”
“That is true. Hopefully, it will be fine. I didn’t think that the Immortal Plane would be so insidious and petty. Looks like I have been thinking too highly of it in the past.”
“What about the Immortal Plane? In the end, is it not a place made by cultivators like us?”
Bang! Bang!
A whip attack struck Chen Feng, followed by a lance attack. Due to that, Chen Feng’s figure tumbled a few times, cutting quite a wretched sight to behold.
“Kid, how are you holding up? Do you need me to help you?” A secret vocal transmission then came from Bi Qing, who was hovering far away. Seeing the state Chen Feng was in, he almost couldn’t stop himself from taking action.
“No need! This isn’t anywhere near that point. I still have many moves that I have yet to bring out!” Chen Feng then laughed loudly.
Seeing how confident Chen Feng was, Bi Qing grew relieved.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Chen Feng stretched out a finger to tap his forehead all of a sudden. Next, three booming sounds rang out in quick succession as three Dao artifacts within his body’s insight acupoints blew up. They were the Divine Goldenlight Net, Flaming Sword and Bronze Armourbreak Axe. These magic treasures had been with Chen Feng since he was still very weak. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Chen Feng had been the one to cultivate them up to their present level. That was particularly true of the Flaming Sword, which could split up to form an Eight Trigrams Sword Array. The resulting power from this move caused Chen Feng’s whole body to shake. Naturally, all the strands of essence and broken fragments of the magic treasures also fused with the Longevity weapons.
As for the streams of power, they all surged towards his First Origin acupoint. Finally, they spread out from Chen Feng’s glabella.
All the others saw was Chen Feng tapping his forehead before a stream of faint-cyan energy flowed out from his forehead to instantly encase his whole body. Runes flashed and moved about and a layer of faint-cyan armour appeared over him. Amidst the faint-cyan colour of the armour were some flowing blood-red colour, almost hidden from view. Additionally, strands of black light were also emanating from the armour.
“Longevity Combat Armour!” Chen Feng uttered coolly.
Shua!
The Longevity Wings on Chen Feng’s back became even more tangible and his speed rose up by one level. Next, Chen Feng focused his attention on one of the black-clad cultivators and sent out a Volcanic Sword Technique forward. This sword attack contained within it an atmosphere of indomitability and it ignored all other attacks.
Bang!
The Steel Enigma Sword pierced the black-clad cultivator with the whip and volcanic power erupted from within the cultivator’s body to rip him to pieces.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three battle lances struck Chen Feng’s body, causing him to tumble backwards. However, with a flap of the Longevity Wings, he smashed another cultivator aside.
After Chen Feng stabilized his position, all of the black-clad cultivators and even the cultivators watching the tribulation in East Dragon Island stared at him in shock, their eyes bulging widely.
The three Ascendant Immortals’ attacks had most certainly struck Chen Feng, but all it did was cause him to tumble about while his body remained unscathed. Rather, the attacks had failed to leave even a mark on the surface of the armour.
Chen Feng was the only one who was aware of the true situation. Although the armour appeared unaffected, its energy had depleted slightly.
“Heh, the Longevity Combat Armour! Doing this is like bullying them.” Bi Qing, who was far away, started laughing.
“Bullying? There’s more!” With a thought from Chen Feng, the Blood Mustering Bead floated out and a drop of blood fell upon Chen Feng’s body. The Longevity Combat Armour was instantly covered with blood-red runes. Following that, the Blood Mustering Bead transformed into a beam of red light, which shot towards one of the lance-wielding, black-clad cultivators.
After Chen Feng killed the whip-wielding cultivator, the other six cultivators who set up the new barrier took action. The six wyrms that they brought with them were also at the Ascendant Immortal stage. That meant a total of 12 Ascendant Immortals were joining the fight.
Despite having to face them, Chen Feng did not reveal any look of fear. Instead, a maniacal look of battle fervour was etched on his face. This was a good chance for him to utilize the various secret techniques from the Longevity Scripture.
Bang!
The Blood Mustering Bead smashed one of the cultivators to his death. Keeping the Steel Enigma Sword, Chen Feng then sent stream after stream of light out from his eyes to sweep the incoming cultivators.
