Chapter 817 Battle

Translator: podao001

Due to the collapse of the surrounding ice, the runes and restrictive arrays hovering around the palace lost the supporting power of the power of ice there and they began weakening at a steady pace. Next, Chen Feng jabbed forward with the lance and a stretch of the runes were shattered.

As expected! Chen Feng grew delighted and he brought out the other Abyssal Ice Orb. The two Abyssal Ice Orbs contained the grand dao that an Abyssal Ice Behemoth cultivated. Thus, there was no need for Chen Feng to exert himself greatly for it before the two orbs automatically absorbed the surrounding power of ice.

Boom!

Chen Feng’s rate of advance began rising. Finally, the lance in his hand carved open a path for him to stand before the palace.

The palace was neither particularly big nor striking. In fact, it seemed somewhat dilapidated as it rested there silently. However, Chen Feng sensed something exerting a wondrous alluring power over him from somewhere deep inside the palace. The alluring power was very strange. It was not acting against his soul. Rather, it was acting against the insight acupoints inside his body.

Seven of the opened acupoints within Chen Feng’s body slowly stirred. Gradually, the rate at which they were stirring grew before they finally started pulsing vigorously. Even his heart was affected, shaking in a manner resembling drum beats. Wave after wave of a yearning notion surged through Chen Feng’s body.

Strange. It’s the Seven Aperture acupoints. Just what is attracting my Seven Aperture acupoints?

Chen Feng had wanted to step forward, only to have his advance obstructed by an invisible barrier. Unable to hold himself back, Chen Feng then stabbed forward with the lance in his hand.

Chen Feng’s action was the equivalent of stirring a hornet’s nest. The collision between the two Immortal artefacts produced a formidable shockwave, which spread outwards to destroy layer after layer of ice. Even the ice field around him began quaking. As for the palace, it radiated hazy rays of starlight. The rays of starlight then gathered upon the spire of the palace to form a massive ray of starlight, shooting through the thick layer of ice above to reach the firmament.

As a result, the formidable atmosphere of an Immortal artefact enveloped the entire planet. Even those residing on other life-bearing planets were capable of sensing that, let alone the cultivators who were on Planet Voidsoul.

“What a formidable Immortal artefact! It is definitely not just a low-grade Immortal artefact. At the very least, it is a mid-grade Immortal artefact!” The same thought flashed across the minds of the cultivators on Planet Voidsoul and some old monsters who had been secluding themselves on the planet were alarmed.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, was in a somewhat wretched state. The earlier collision had sent him flying and even the lance in his hand was knocked away. In the end, however, it transformed into a stream of light before flying back to his hand.

Energy streams surged vigorously around Chen Feng as his muscles kept trembling. Blood trickled down from his pores while cracks could be seen on other places. It was a somewhat horrifying sight to behold.

Chen Feng gripped the Heaven Piercing Lance while his eyes shone with light. The wounds on his body quickly healed up. This is bad! That collision created too big of a commotion. It will surely lure over a high number of cultivators!

Sou! Sou!

Before Chen Feng could even finish that line of thought, someone had already arrived.

It was none other than the old man from the Skyfire Clan. By then, the old man had already recovered. With a healthy amount of muscles on his body, his appearance and even his disposition had undergone a world-shaking transformation. He now had the appearance of a middle-aged man.

Likewise, the aura he radiated was different. It was incomparably deep, giving others the impression that just one glance in his direction would cause their souls to become lost within. Sensing that, Chen Feng knew that he had recovered most of his power.

In other words, this opponent he faced was a genuine Ascendant Immortal.

“Kid, to think that you could make your way here. Unexpectedly, you would be able to find the thing that I had spent so long searching for. You really are lucky,” the old man said, laughing skywards.

“However, your luck end here! Because I will be killing you soon enough.”

“You want to kill me? It won’t be that easy.” Chen Feng smiled and brandished the lance in his hand once to unleash the formidable atmosphere of an Immortal artefact.

“Immortal artefact?” The old man’s eyes shone and he laughed.

“I also have an Immortal artefact! Besides, I have already recovered my strength. Even though you possess Immortal artefacts, it is useless. Your cultivation level is just too low.”

“Is that so? You really want to kill me? Then, go ahead. However, it will not be easy. The time you will need to kill me will be enough to attract other cultivators.” Chen Feng laughed, seemingly unconcerned that the old man would attack him.

“You sure are bold. However, you are correct. There are indeed some other experts here on this planet. In order to avoid any unexpected situation, I will have to kill you quickly.”

“Hold it!” Suddenly, Chen Feng shouted.

“What? Do you have any last words? Or do you want to beg for mercy? Useless! Today, you will die.”

“I just want to know your name. As a dignified Ascendant Immortal, you must surely have a majestic title, no?” Chen Feng laughed, his eyes seemingly pondering something.

“Humph! You are already on Death’s door. And yet, you still have so many questions? Fine, I will grant you that. You may call me Immortal Monarch Starfire.”

“Immortal Monarch Starfire. Truly, such a boastful title.” Chen Feng shook his head.

Shua!

Wielding a flaming forked spear in his hand, Immortal Monarch Starfire strode forward as he moved to attack Chen Feng.

It was then that someone else arrived. An extremely formidable cultivator broke his way through space to arrive there and he simply charged towards the palace.

The aura that he radiated was even stronger compared to the aura from Immortal Monarch Starfire. Even without attacking, the aura coming off him was already capable of inundating the sky.

“What? Someone’s here!” Immortal Monarch Starfire’s face sank. He had assumed that by killing off Chen Feng, he would be able to obtain the palace. Unexpectedly, someone would arrive so quickly. Additionally, this newcomer was in no way weaker than him.

With the arrival of this newcomer, the situation became problematic for him. He could no longer spare the time to deal with Chen Feng anymore.

Immortal Monarch Starfire made up his mind in a flash. Ignoring Chen Feng, he then thrust the flaming forked spear in his hand forward to attack the newcomer.

“Courting death!”

In the face of the flaming forked spear, the newcomer merely waved his hand to knock the flaming forked spear away. Flames spread out furiously and the flaming forked spear flew back into Immortal Monarch Starfire’s hand. As for the newcomer, the collision had only shaken his body slightly while he remained unscathed.

He had relied on his fleshly body alone to send an Immortal artefact flying. Seeing that shocked both Chen Feng and Immortal Monarch Starfire.

“Sir, who are you?” Immortal Monarch Starfire gripped the flaming forked spear, a grim expression on his face. He could already sense a faint feeling of danger originating from this newcomer’s body. It was a danger capable of killing him off.

The newcomer was one zhang tall, his upper body left bare and countless mysterious patterns could be seen inscribed upon the surface of his body. A formidable power flowed within him and just one punch from him was enough to destroy a planet.

“Heh, kid! Unexpectedly, you would run all the way here.” The formidable cultivator turned to look at Chen Feng and his face revealed a grin. He utterly ignored Immortal Monarch Starfire. Seeing the formidable cultivator, however, Chen Feng felt a chill running down his heart.

Oh, no! The two of them are acquaintances. This is bad. Seeing the newcomer talking to Chen Feng, Immortal Monarch Starfire’s heart lurched.

However, the formidable cultivator then continued, “You sure can run. In the end, however, you will still die.”

“So, it’s you, Wicked Barbarian Deity. You want to kill me too? However, this doesn’t seem like a good time for that.” Chen Feng smiled. Again, he did not appear particularly concerned.

Wicked Barbarian Deity? That’s right, this fellow is clearly a Wicked Barbarian Deity. How unlucky of me! How could someone like this be here on Planet Voidsoul? Not to mention, this is a very formidable Wicked Barbarian Deity. Immortal Monarch Starfire pondered.

“Killing you is easy. One move will be enough for it,” the Wicked Barbarian Deity said coolly and he gripped his fist. Next, a sky-vaulting wave of energy radiated out. It was such that even Immortal Monarch Starfire felt threatened by it.

“If so, just go ahead.” Chen Feng brandished the lance in his hand.

“You don’t have an Immortal artefact. Killing me with your bare hands will probably not be easy, no?” Chen Feng said smilingly.

“It’s enough.” After saying that, the Wicked Barbarian Deity fired a punch at Chen Feng.

Instantly, the world before Chen Feng’s eyes transformed. Everything disappeared as space collapsed. All the streams of energy converged upon a singular point, which was occupied by a massive fist.

Upon seeing the fist, Chen Feng’s soul stopped moving and his ability to think came to a halt. Not even the emotion of fear could rise up within him.

Suddenly, a fiery wave of energy washed over Chen Feng’s entire body, allowing him to recover. Next, he stabbed forward with the lance to strike the incoming fist. After that, a power wrapped around Chen Feng as his figure was sent blasting away. In just the blink of an eye, Chen Feng had disappeared deep into the ice there, not responding in the slightest. There was no way to tell if he was dead or alive.

After firing out the punch to send Chen Feng flying, the Wicked Barbarian Deity acted as though he had done something unimportant. He then gave Immortal Monarch Starfire a glance and said, “You still haven’t run away? Do you have a death wish?”

“Ha ha ha! Sir, taking this Immortal Warsoul Mansion alone will likely not be easy. If the two of us get into a fight, our battle will surely end up triggering some unexpected situations. The way I see it, it would be better for us to join forces,” Immortal Monarch Starfire said smilingly.

“Join forces? With you? Who do you think you are? Since you refuse to leave, die,” the Wicked Barbarian Deity said, sending a fist against Immortal Monarch Starfire.

He had attacked the instant he said he would, without a hint of hesitation or compromise. He was looking down on this Ascendant Immortal.

“Humph! You think I am afraid of you?” Immortal Monarch Starfire grew infuriated as well. In his opinion, even though this opponent was stronger than him, he who possessed an Immortal artefact was no weakling. If he had to fight the Wicked Barbarian Deity, then so be it. There was no telling who would lose in the end.

Thus, the two formidable characters began fighting. The Wicked Barbarian Deity was instantly able to gain the upper hand, suppressing Immortal Monarch Starfire throughout the fight. And yet, despite his might, it would appear that he had yet to fully recover. It seemed as though he was still suffering from some hidden wounds. Add the fact that Immortal Monarch Starfire possessed an Immortal artefact in hand, there was no way for him to emerge victorious anytime soon.

Moving back to Chen Feng, the punch from the Wicked Barbarian Deity had blasted him out from the layer of ice. During that critical moment, Tower had taken action, mobilizing the power of the Longevity Tower and the two Immortal artefacts to protect his body. If it weren’t for that, the punch would have obliterated Chen Feng, body and soul.

Incredible! This is an absolute difference in power. Even with an Immortal artefact in hand, it is still useless. That fellow’s strength has reached the realm of monsters.

I almost died just now. Thinking back to what happened earlier, Chen Feng felt somewhat fearful.

“Tower, what level is the Wicked Barbarian Deity at?”

“A mid-level Ascendant Immortal. However, his body is incomplete, otherwise that attack earlier would have left you in a half-dead state, the protection of Immortal artefacts notwithstanding.” There was a solemn quality within Tower’s voice. At any rate, the Heaven Piercing Lance and Netherbone Lance were only low-grade Immortal artefacts. Despite Tower’s assistance, facing a mid-grade Ascendant Immortal would be difficult.

“Thankfully, the two of them ended up fighting each other. If he punches again, heh!” After saying that, Chen Feng stood up, his gaze peering through the ice as he attempted to observe the battle between the two.

Observing the battle between such high-level characters was a great harvest.
