“Extreme Celestial Sect! You still have one last chance. Put down your weapons right now and surrender. We, the Three Palaces, give you our word that those who surrender will not be killed. Once we break into the Extreme Celestial Mountains, however, all of you will die!” It was then that a thunderous voice rang out, reverberating all across the sky above the Extreme Celestial Mountains.

It proved somewhat useful, affecting the morale of Extreme Celestial Sect severely. Some of the disciples from Extreme Celestial Sect appeared shaken.

There were none who were unafraid of death. In truth, these cultivators who possessed great magics were even more fearful of death when compared to the average human.

For what reason do they cultivate themselves? Was it to become stronger? At the end of the day, it was most obvious that they chose to cultivate themselves because they wanted to live longer.

At that very moment, Extreme Celestial Sect was already falling. Thus, some of the disciples began having second thoughts. That was even more so given the shouts coming from Nine Firmaments Palace’s side. Although no one from Extreme Celestial Sect’s side responded, their overall morale was indeed falling.

What should I do now? Do I take action? If I take action, the most I can do is to kill off a few cultivators. The most likely scenario is of them entangling me. If they can bring out a few more Immortal artefacts, they might even be able to kill me off.

If only I am at the Earthen Immortal stage, with the Immortal artefacts I have on me, I will be able to start a bloodbath. However, given my present level, it is simply too hard. No, it is practically hopeless.

Do I really have to just save some of them and leave? If that is the case, Extreme Celestial Sect’s days will truly be over. Sigh! How unexpected! To think that Nine Firmaments Palace could become so powerful.

As Chen Feng was pondering the issue, a bright light suddenly burst out from the Extreme Celestial Mountains. In the blink of an eye, it pierced the sky to form a faint-blue pillar of light. Next, the pillar of light rapidly swept out, attacking the cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace who were attacking the Extreme Celestial Mountains. Those who were struck were instantly vaporized. Nothing remained of them.

Shua!

The pillar of light extended far ahead, covering a distance of over 5,000 kilometres. Those caught within its assault were all incinerated like torched flies.

Seeing that stunned all the cultivators on the battlefield. No, it would be more accurate to say that they were left shell-shocked. Even Chen Feng was gaping at what he saw, left temporarily in a daze by that display of might.

Incredible! That is the might of a mid-grade Immortal artefact. Chen Feng, who was hovering up in the sky, was able to clearly see what happened just now. A chill ran down his heart. Although he was still uncertain how this Immortal artefact looked like, this display of might had already exceeded that of the Chaosage Halberd of the Thundergod that he saw in the Lightning Region.

A magic treasure that is on the higher end of the mid-grade Immortal tier. It is likely already very close to the high-grade Immortal tier. Even in the Immortal Plane, these Immortal artefacts are valuable. Unexpectedly, such a good item could exist in a cultivation world, Chen Feng thought.

The pillar of light only lasted for one breath’s worth of time, but its emergence had obliterated at least 100,000 cultivators on Nine Firmaments Palace’s side who were besieging the Extreme Celestial Mountains.

It could not even be called a massacre. Rather, it was pure obliteration. One that they could not respond or resist.

Sigh! This is probably Extreme Celestial Sect’s final move. Looks like Extreme Celestial Sect no longer has any other cards left. Although this Immortal artefact is very powerful, it cannot turn the situation around. Not unless an Ascendant Immortal is wielding it to unleash its strongest might. However, such a thing would spell disaster for Eternal World.

As Chen Feng was continuing to ponder the situation, another blue light flashed out. This time, it was not a pillar of light. Instead, it was like a meteor streaking through the sky. It seemed as though it had charged out from the ground.

The blue light flashed several times and several enemy Earthen Immortals who were situated around the Extreme Celestial Mountains were killed. Chen Feng had watched as a mid-level Earthen Immortal was turned into nothingness by the blue light’s attack. Even the pseudo Immortal artefact he wielded disappeared.

He was completely obliterated, leaving not a single trace behind.

It gave off a feeling of dread.

A pity! This Immortal artefact cannot be used all the time. Heh! If they can repeat that move a few more times, Nine Firmaments Palace’s side will end up crying.

“That’s Extreme Celestial Sect’s Extreme Celestial Geocompass! Everyone, do not be afraid! Extreme Celestial Sect does not have any Ascendant Immortals. They are simply incapable of unleashing the Immortal artefact’s power. With the earlier attack, the power accumulated within the Immortal artefact has been used up. Now is the time! Use this chance to kill our way into the Extreme Celestial Mountains!” one of the high-level Earthen Immortals from Nine Firmaments Palace shouted.

Truth be told, this high-level Earthen Immortal was also sweating. If the previous attacks had struck him, he would have died.

“Attack!”

“Attack together!”

The cultivators besieging the Extreme Celestial Mountains had exceeded one million in number. At that very moment, each and every one of them was attacking. Their attacks became like meteors – shining with various colours – bombarding the Extreme Celestial Mountains.

“Attack!”

Chen Feng was unable to stop himself. His friends were in the Extreme Celestial Mountains. His master, his friends and his fellow disciples were there. In the face of this siege from over one million cultivators, all of them would surely be killed.

Chen Feng brought out an Immortal artefact right from the start. Wielding the Heaven Piercing Lance, his attack broke space itself and power swept into his surroundings. The cultivators around him were all sent flying, but Chen Feng simply continued to charge forward. He did not display any special moves. On the contrary, he simply alternated between swinging and stabbing with the Heaven Piercing Lance.

Chen Feng’s charge killed countless cultivators. Finally, as he was about to reach the edge of the Extreme Celestial Mountains, several Earthen Immortals appeared to stop him. Two of these Earthen Immortals were armed with pseudo Immortal artefacts. Due to that, Chen Feng’s attempts to charge through them failed. Seeing that, Chen Feng had no choice to but start fighting them in earnest.

Earlier, the magic arrays of the Extreme Celestial Mountains had stopped most of the million plus attacks aimed at it. However, the attacks that managed to get past the magic arrays were still enough to inflict considerable casualties to the cultivators on the Extreme Celestial Mountains.

The Extreme Celestial Mountains shook violently as various defensive and offensive magic arrays appeared. Some were destroyed again and again and some kept emerging.

Wan Jiecheng himself led a group of elders to the frontlines. However, despite his position as the Sect Master, he was only at the Human Immortal stage. Given the scale of this war where Earthen Immortals would rampage about, any stroke of misfortune could end with a Human Immortal’s death.

“Chen Feng! You’ve finally shown yourself! Back then, you were so fast so run away! To think that you would still have the guts to appear. If you had immediately ran back to the Central Plains, we would be unable to do anything to you for the time being. But today, you will be unable to escape this calamity!”

Several auras tore through space, creating rumbling sounds as they did. Next, the power of an Immortal artefact charged out from void space.

Experts have appeared.

A total of three high-level Earthen Immortals appeared. They mobilized a massive seal, which they sent pressing down against Chen Feng.

“Yet another Immortal artefact. Is Nine Firmaments Palace giving me another present?” Light flashed out from Chen Feng’s back and the Longevity Wings flapped, bringing Chen Feng’s figure into the midst of the cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace.

There were over 10,000 cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace around Chen Feng. Due to that, the massive seal came to a sudden halt. Chen Feng, however, attacked. The Heaven Piercing Lance in his hand stabbed out and a formidable force smashed against the seal. The shockwaves created by the clash quaked the 10,000 plus cultivators around him and sent them flying.

“Come on, then! Do your worst!” Chen Feng’s figure flashed forward to enter yet another group of cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace.

“Dome of the Fire Dragon!”

Chen Feng had wanted to attack when everything before him suddenly flashed. Space itself was transformed, turning fiery-red in colour. A magic treasure had come to wrap around him.

It was a fire-type magic treasure. Moreover, it also contained the might of a dragon and the power of laws of an Immortal artefact.

“Another Immortal artefact, eh?”

Roar!

A colossal fire dragon appeared all of a sudden, bellowing as it attacked Chen Feng.

“Break!”

Chen Feng’s figure fluttered and the lance in his hand kept swinging about. After a few moves, the fire dragon was destroyed.

Roar!

More fire dragons appeared. These fire dragons were even stronger than the previous one.

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

At the same time, more attacks shot towards Chen Feng from various directions.

How troublesome!

Chen Feng waved his hand and the Immortal Skylodge Palace appeared once again. Back then, Chen Feng had utilized the Immortal Skylodge Palace to smash the Immortal Clearsky Palace, nearly destroying it in the process. In doing so, however, the Immortal Skylodge Palace was also damaged. Despite knowing that, Chen Feng had no time to consider that anymore. The moment the Immortal Skylodge Palace appeared, Chen Feng swiftly used up one million Immortal crystals for it.

Boom!

An overpowering wave of power surged out from the Immortal Skylodge Palace and the surrounding fire dragons and attacks charging towards Chen Feng were all swept aside.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

Cracks began spreading across the Dome of the Fire Dragon and Chen Feng simply smashed his way towards the cracks. The momentum behind the Immortal Skylodge Palace was terribly savage. With just one collision, two Earthen Immortals who were too slow in evading were torn apart.

Chen Feng went wild once more. He ignored whether or not his body could handle the stress from his actions, ignored how badly damaged the Immortal Skylodge Palace was and simply burned even more Immortal crystals to further empower the Immortal Skylodge Palace.

Just as Chen Feng was about to utilize his Immortal artefacts to start a bloodbath, he saw the distant Extreme Celestial Mountains flying up. Seeing that caused Chen Feng to back away somewhat.

What is going on here?

The Extreme Celestial Mountains encompassed a radius of several million li. It was like a gargantuan city. At that very moment, it rose up from the ground. At the same time, it shone with yellow-coloured energy waves.

The energy waves swept forward and countless cultivators were damaged by them.

Earlier, Nine Firmaments Palace had gained the upper hand in the war and was already on the brink of breaking into the Extreme Celestial Mountains. Unexpectedly, however, this suddenly happened.

The Extreme Celestial Mountains became like an awakened monster. It radiated with a mighty power as layer after layer of magic arrays appeared to encase the entire mountain range.

At the same time, the Extreme Celestial Geocompass attacked again. Every time it flashed with blue light, either one or several Earthen Immortals would be killed off.

That was a high-tier weapon while its opponents were high-levelled cultivators.

Seeing that, Chen Feng could not stop himself from bursting into laughter.

Unexpectedly, the Extreme Celestial Mountains is itself an Immortal artefact. Not to mention, it is a very formidable Immortal artefact. Things are getting interesting. Nine Firmaments Palace is hiding its true power, but Extreme Celestial Sect also has something that allows them to fight back.

Although the Extreme Celestial Mountains had floated up, it was still continuously absorbing the essence power from the depths of the earth. At the same time, the massive mountain range began shrinking. Various types of light flashed as the mighty atmosphere of an Immortal artefact enveloped the lands and sky.

After laughing for a brief moment, Chen Feng quickly recollected himself. The expression on his face was no longer as grim as it was earlier. Even so, there was still a look of concern there.

“The Extreme Celestial Geocompass and Extreme Celestial Mountains. They are both mid-grade Immortal artefacts. Extreme Celestial Sect sure has a great foundation. Even so, it will not be enough to stop Nine Firmaments Palace. They will still be incapable of overcoming this calamity.”
