Chapter 1030 Great Gap

Translator: podao001

The 5,000-kilometre-long gully was 50 kilometres wide, with a depth of 1,000 metres. An aura of destruction kept emanating out from it. All the living creatures that had been occupying the space there had their bodies ripped apart. Even those within a radius of tens of li from the gully were affected.

It was a light of destruction.

But that was just the beginning. The scarlet-coloured beam of light then continued to rampage about. Everywhere it went, mountains and rivers would be destroyed and the lands would crack apart. Even Ascendant Immortals would have their bodies incinerated by the beam of scarlet light.

A second beam.

A third beam.

They were followed by the fourth and fifth beams. It did not take long before 10 beams of destruction descended. In just several breaths’ worth of time, an area on Eternal World, spanning a radius of five million kilometres, had been turned upside down. Mountains were utterly wiped out and the surface level of the ground itself fell. As for the buildings there, they had been obliterated.

The obliterated place had housed countless forces. There had been tens of empires there. And yet, all of them had disappeared. Naturally, some had been moved away beforehand. Even so, many civilians were still sucked into this calamity and killed in the process.

Seeing that, flames burned within Chen Feng’s eyes.

He then waved his hand and a cluster of stars appeared in the sky and the beams of destruction were sucked in, disappearing from sight. They had failed to leave even a single ripple behind.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Several motes of starlight flashed, becoming like streams of light. Next, everyone saw several of the warships struck by the streams of light. One of them was even broken into two from the attack.

Seeing that, the cultivators cheered in delight and they all cast looks of awe at Chen Feng.

“Fellows, you should already understand our present situation, right? Those with strength, don’t hide it. Hurry up and bring it out, or else this world will be destroyed and none of us will be able to escape.” Chen Feng’s voice rang far into the distance. His gaze swept out to finally rest upon those from Heavenly Firmaments Palace.

Just recently, the two parties were still hostile towards one another, fighting each other with no way to end hostilities. At that very moment, however, they had to face this unstoppable threat together.

“We can send someone over to negotiate with them,” someone suggested.

“Idiot!”

“If someone is willing to step forward to do that, they may go ahead. We will not be stopping you.”

“We can choose to submit.”

“Heh! We won’t stop you either.”

“Chen Feng.” A cultivator from Heavenly Firmaments Palace arrived before Chen Feng. He was a half-step True Immortal from the Immortal Plane.

“Before this, I have already informed the Immortal Plane about this. I believe you fellows should already know what to do,” Chen Feng said.

“We have also utilized a secret technique to inform the Heavenly Firmaments Palace in the Immortal Plane. At present, however, the other party has sealed up space and we can no longer send any messages out.” The half-step True Immortal shook his head, his expression ugly to behold. The pressure bearing down on them from outer space was giving this half-step True Immortal an intense feeling of danger, the deathly kind.

“If so, there is nothing else we can do. We only have two other options. The first is to just wait for our deaths. The second is to die fighting,” Chen Feng said, extending one hand to stretch out his five fingers. Next, the Bedazzling Star Map abruptly unfurled to cover most of Eternal World. Most of the attacks from the other party disappeared into the starlight from the Bedazzling Star Map.

Naturally, it was an unpleasant experience for Chen Feng. He would only be able to endure for a short time.

“Everyone, prepare for battle! If we fight with our all, we might be able to last until the Immortal Plane sends reinforcements. That way, we may be able to survive!” Chen Feng’s voice spread out through the Bedazzling Star Map to reach every corner of Eternal World.

“A pseudo-Divine artifact! It’s the one we sensed back then. Looks like Soulsift and Earthmount had died to this person.”

“It’s just a pseudo-Divine artifact. Not even a real Divine artifact would be able to stop our advance.”

“Fire everything!”

All 10,000 Immortal-tier warships roared as they launched their attacks. Even before their attacks reached Eternal World, the hearts of some cultivators have already stopped beating. The atmosphere of destruction was so strong that even Ascendant Immortals were incapable of resisting. In fact, some began fainting.

As for Chen Feng, he was only able to maintain the Bedazzling Star Map for less than one breath’s worth of time. After that, the Bedazzling Star Map rapidly shrank before falling into Chen Feng’s hand. Chen Feng’s face had turned pale and his figure swayed, almost incapable of standing straight.

“Say, Tower. Do you think I will be able to gain anything this time? There are so many True Immortals and Ascendant Immortals. There is also the treasure hoard that they had accumulated through their acts of plunder. If I can obtain those, I can establish a force of my own in the Immortal Plane.” Chen Feng communicated with Tower while working on his recovery.

“A good idea. I’ll support you.”

“When can you open the sixth floor?”

“Heh! If I can open the sixth floor, I would be able to easily finish off all the 100,000 warships.”

“So powerful? You’re not just boasting here, are you?”

“Humph, what do you know? I kept a strand of my power from the past in the sixth floor.”

“You’re not lying to me, are you?”

“Why would I lie to you? Only, opening the sixth floor will not be easy. This is a very dire situation. If the Immortal Plane does not intervene, this world will be a goner.”

“I know that. But what I want to know right now is, can you break out?”

“That’s not a problem. What is it, kid? Are you thinking of running away already?”

“If absolutely necessary, staying alive is more important. Before that, though, there is a need to fight. It would be for the best if we can collect a few of those warships.”

The wave of attacks from the enemy knocked the Bedazzling Star Map back and the remaining attacks riddled Eternal World with holes. After that, the warships remained still while cultivators emerged from them, transforming into streams of light to enter Eternal World.

The ones leading the invading cultivators were True Immortals. Even the weakest amongst the invading cultivators was an Ascendant Immortal. The level of this invading army once again plunged those on Eternal World’s side into chaos.

The strongest level that a cultivator could reach in Eternal World was the Ascendant Immortal stage. For that to be the weakest in the invading army, this was an incomparable gap.

“Even though they are strong, they will suffer from the suppression of worldly laws here. Additionally, Eternal World has existed for billions of years. It must surely have some more experts,” Bi Qing suddenly said as he brandished his sword to lead the charge.

Bi Qing had already broken through to the True Immortal stage for real. Thus, he would not cower, not even in the face of a whole group of True Immortals. On the contrary, he exuded a desire for battle.

“Thirty Thousand Li of Clearblue Sky!”

Sword energy rippled outwards, coiling around continuously with an air of majesty. After having reached the True Immortal stage, Bi Qing began displaying various secret techniques.

This one move from Bi Qing engulfed several Ascendant Immortals and a True Immortal and they were incapable of extricating themselves.

“Good!”

“Kill!”

Bi Qing’s actions lifted everyone’s spirits. Following that, the entire Eternal World shook and streams of light emerged from the depths of the ground to enter the bodies of all the cultivators on Eternal World’s side. Due to that, they felt their essence, energy and soul power becoming a notch stronger. It felt as though there was an endless power within them.

This was the support from Eternal World.

“Fight!”

Waving his hand, Chen Feng and Huo Yunlong then charged forward as well, followed by over 100 Ascendant Immortals. They were the full might of the East Dragon Island Alliance.

Chen Feng could sense it. By now, Eternal World had managed to raise over 10,000 Ascendant Immortals. Even so, in the face of this fleet of invaders, this force from Eternal World was still too weak.

If I can break through to the Ascendant Immortal stage, by mobilizing the pseudo-Divine artifacts, I will be able to stop up to ten True Immortals. In truth, the number of cultivators on both sides was not that high. And yet, the resulting power from the cultivators there was something that not even a billion Earthen Immortals could display. In just several breaths’ worth of time, the cultivators from Eternal World were broken and dispersed. They suffered from serious losses and the courage that they had just mustered was broken as well.

Due to that, they began fleeing. In just the blink of an eye, less than 10% of the cultivators remained. Even the East Dragon Island Alliance had suffered from tens of casualties. And that was despite having Chen Feng and Bi Qing in the lead.

“Forget it. You fellows, get in.” Chen Feng waved his hand and starlight flashed. Next, the Ascendant Immortals behind him were brought into the Bedazzling Star Map.

“This is an existence surpassing the Immortal artifact. Now, position yourselves according to the position of the stars. Whether or not we can kill off the enemy next will depend on your assistance.” Chen Feng’s voice reverberated across the starry space inside.

By then, Bi Qing was no longer able to hold on. So far, he had killed two True Immortals and tens of Ascendant Immortals. His accomplishments astounded both sides. Later on, however, several True Immortals came together to attack and seriously wound him. In the end, he too, had to enter the Bedazzling Star Map.

The last group of Ascendant Immortals was finally broken down. The battle ended as quickly as it began. The cultivators from Eternal World were simply incapable of fighting back.

“A minor world thinks to suppress us?”

“Break!”

Tens of True Immortals joined forces to display an unknown secret technique. Shockingly, they succeeded in ripping apart the suppressive effect exerted by Eternal World. Chen Feng could even hear a wail coming from the depths of the earth. It sounded like the wail of a grievously wounded animal.

Eternal World’s essence is damaged. Chen Feng understood what just happened.

If it weren’t for the fact that the enemy had True Immortals, Chen Feng would be able to utilize his magic treasures to hunt them all down. In the face of so many True Immortals, however, Chen Feng could do nothing of the sort.

Other than the Ascendant Immortals from the East Dragon Island Alliance, the Ascendant Immortals from some other forces also approached Chen Feng. They wanted to seek protection from Chen Feng. Some were from Heavenly Firmaments Palace.

Chen Feng merely hesitated for a moment before bringing them all into the Bedazzling Star Map. In order to mobilize the power of the pseudo-Divine artifacts, he will need their assistance.

“Leave Eternal World. We’ll fight them in outer space.”

“This isn’t fighting, this is just fleeing.”

By relying on the pseudo-Divine artifacts in his possession, Chen Feng charged forward in an attempt to create an opening. However, breaking through the blockade formed by the enemy to enter outer space was no easy feat. One careless mistake would leave him trapped within the enemy’s encirclement. At any rate, the many True Immortals on the enemy side were not just there for show.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, waves of formidable energy fluctuations charged into the sky from Eternal World. The energy fluctuations then transformed into attacks. Sweeping forward, the attacks killed off a high number of Ascendant Immortals and two True Immortals.

“True Immortals! Unexpectedly, there are actually two True Immortals hiding in Eternal World.” Chen Feng grew excited. Next, he directed the Longevity Tower to exert a suction force to devour all the essence, energy and soul power of the killed Ascendant Immortals and True Immortals.

“This is probably the final show of power from Eternal World. But even if it is 10 times stronger, it will not change the outcome.” Bi Qing shook his head.

1 li = 0.5 km
