But before the one-month period was up, more cultivators entered the space. One of them was the Divine Monarch who escaped back then.

This time, the number of cultivators who entered was higher. Correspondingly, their levels were also higher. The number of Divine Princes and Divine Monarchs was so high that Chen Feng felt danger. In addition, there was also a high number of half-step Gold Immortals and Heavenly Immortals.

Upon discovering this group of cultivators, Chen Feng swiftly dispatched the unique creatures and Battlers to stop them. At any rate, they were cultivators from the Immortal Plane. Chen Feng had no qualms about killing them off.

However, as more and more cultivators from the other party kept entering the space, Chen Feng began to gradually pull back his men. In addition to the Gold Immortals, the number of half-step Gold Immortals and Heavenly Immortals that the other party was sending in also grew increasingly high. In the end, even True Immortals and Ascendant Immortals were sent in. These included orderly soldiers and milling loose cultivators.

As Chen Feng had over 100 million Battlers under his command, he was not afraid of them. That said, he did not want any unnecessary casualties. After clashing against the other party several times, where they killed off some of the cultivators from the Immortal Plane, the Battlers and unique creatures then began a gradual retreat before gathering up to form a Great Primordial Array, occupying an area spanning a length of five million kilometres.

As expected, fearing the power displayed by Chen Feng’s forces, the other party did not approach them. Instead, they circled around, heading farther in to search for the energy crystals.

Quickly, though, Chen Feng received a message from the other party. Their leaders wanted to talk with him.

“Not a problem. Just come,” Chen Feng replied after a moment’s consideration.

The army of Battlers swiftly opened a passageway and tens of Gold Immortals, riding an avenue of golden light, quickly appeared before Chen Feng.

Seeing that caused Chen Feng to burst into a smile. The other party had sent over so many men. Was it because they were planning to attack him? Or was it because they were afraid that he would attack them?

Chen Feng chuckled. A few amongst them were actually familiar faces.

“You’re Longevity Celestial!” Some of the cultivators there also recognized Chen Feng.

“Ha ha ha! Fellow veterans from the Immortal Court, why are you here?” Chen Feng said, laughing.

“This is the Immortal Plane. We haven’t even asked you what you’re doing here.” This person was Divine Monarch Fountain Guard, a cultivator from the East Extreme Immortal Palace. He would usually keep watch over the Spiritual Fountain of Agelessness.

“This is a separate space. Besides, even if this is the Immortal Plane’s territory, so what? Can your Immortal Court represent the entire Immortal Plane? And even if you can, what of it? Do you fellows want to start a war with me?” Chen Feng said with a smile.

“Your army is indeed very strong. But right now, you are alone,” Divine Monarch Fountain Guard said with a smile.

“Ha ha ha! Do you fellows think that I would let you fellows approach me if I do not have any means of defending myself? Fine. It looks like you fellows are planning to attack. If that’s the case, just attack.” Chen Feng then waved his hand and a Paramount Gold Immortal stage combat puppet abruptly appeared. Its formidable atmosphere of majesty swept outwards and the faces of the cultivators from the Immortal Court - Gold Immortals - sank sharply. They backed away while casting a horrified look at Chen Feng.

“A Paramount Gold Immortal!” Divine Monarch Fountain Guard’s face was ugly to the extreme.

“What, do you fellows not want to attack anymore? If that’s the case, I will not hold back,” Chen Feng said and the combat puppet moved forward, sending a punch out. Despite joining forces to stop the attack, the opposing Gold Immortals still found themselves suppressed by the other party as they kept backing away.

“Impressive. You fellows can block a punch from a Paramount Gold Immortal. I wonder, how many can you fellows block?” Chen Feng said with a smile.

“Wait! We bear you no ill will. We just want to talk with you,” Divine Monarch Fountain Guard hastily shouted.

“Is that so? In that case, you fellows should put on a better attitude. I prefer it when the people who talk to me smile.” Chen Feng then beckoned and the combat puppet returned to stand beside him.

“Longevity Celestial, is this your bug army?” Divine Monarch Fountain Guard suddenly sent Chen Feng a secret vocal transmission.

“Not bad. You actually know about the bugs. What? Do you have any questions? Or do you think that only your Immortal Court is allowed to possess the bugs?” Chen Feng also replied using a secret vocal transmission. It would appear that, unlike Divine Monarch Fountain Guard, the other Gold Immortals might not know about the bugs.

“I don’t mean anything with that. I was just curious. How did you fellows come to this space? This is a holyland for cultivation,” Divine Monarch Fountain Guard said smilingly.

“I entered this place by accident. This place is big enough and there is plenty of energy here. As long as you fellows don’t try to cause us troubles, we can go about with our own affairs. I also do not want to lose my subordinates,” Chen Feng said.

“If so, we will not be bothering you,” Divine Monarch Fountain Guard said before leading his men away.

In truth, Chen Feng did consider gulping down this force. At any rate, this could already be considered a very formidable force for the East Extreme Immortal Palace. Them falling here would distress the East Extreme Immortal Palace.

Given the force that Chen Feng possessed, finishing them off was not a problem. However, he did not want any of his men to die here. Secondly, a large-scale battle might hasten the Great Fiends’ awakening.

Time passed and the spirit veins inside the space rapidly decreased. And yet, the wicked power instead became thicker.

Chen Feng knew that the Great Fiends may wake up at any moment.

When the one-month period came to an end, the army of Battlers began to enter the space where the Battler Bug Empress resided in an orderly manner. This was where these machines of war outshined humans. With but one order, they would immediately follow. No hesitations.

As for the unique creatures, Chen Feng utilized a summoning technique to bring them all into another mysterious space. It did not take long before Chen Feng and the Starlight Overlord Beast were the only ones left outside.

“Young Master, they have not left,” the Starlight Overlord Beast said.

“They must want to die here. We have obtained a large enough harvest this time. Let’s go,” Chen Feng said as he stood on the Starlight Overlord Beast. He peered far ahead to see Jolt Immortal’s group. They were still snatching up the energy crystals there. Likewise, the cultivators from the Immortal Plane were also furiously doing the same.

The two forces did notice the significant move from Chen Feng’s group. In the beginning, they felt surprised. However, they failed to sense any dangers. Due to that, they continued to stay there. That said, they did become more cautious.

Bang!

A mountain range blew up. Chen Feng had yet to leave, but the Great Fiends had emerged.

The mountain range originally spanned a range of half a million kilometres with mountains that were a million zhang tall. Only, due to the actions of the cultivators from the Immortal Plane, there was less than one tenth of the mountain range left.

After the explosion, a large hole, seemingly bottomless and 10,00-zhang-long in diameter, appeared there. A cold and wicked aura surged out from the hole and the entire space seemingly shook.

Chen Feng was no longer that anxious to leave. He was curious to see how the legendary Great Fiends looked like and just how strong they were.

“Hurry, close up the hole!” The cultivators from the Immortal Plane had sensed danger. One of their Divine Princes waved his hand and a massive meteor suddenly appeared out of nowhere to close up the hole.

Next, Gold Immortals rushed forward to take action non-stop, placing various seals on the meteorite.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, shook his head. The Great Fiends down there had already awakened. These Gold Immortals would not be able to stop them. He could already see the Immortal Plane in a state of turmoil. He also knew that this was the time to leave. He needed to make some arrangements for his own territory. However, he also wanted to see what would happen next.

A clone. After pondering the issue for a moment, Chen Feng sent a clone out. The clone flew quickly before disappearing from sight. After leaving the space, the clone swiftly arrived at the Longevity Alliance, where he instantly summoned the high-level members of the alliance. Without discussing anything with them, he issued one command after another. Quickly, the entire Longevity Alliance moved into action.

Moving back to the sealed hole, after strengthening the meteorite sealing the hole with some seals, the cultivators from the Immortal Plane finally breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Feng, though, furrowed his brows. There were both excitement and joy in his eyes. He knew that something spectacular was about to happen.

As expected, as the surrounding space was about to seemingly turn still, another sky-shaking booming sound rang out. Chen Feng felt as though his blood would burn up from the booming sound.

The massive meteorite and the seals on it blew up in an instant, transforming into energy fragments that scattered around the place. A larger hole had appeared and a colossal Fiend appeared before Chen Feng’s line of sight.

Its body was as muscular as that of yaos and demons, at least 1,000 zhang in height. Its body, resembling that of a panther, was shrouded by thick wicked power. Its pair of eyes was like two compact suns and its gaze swept around. Every where its gaze went, space would seemingly burn up.

It had thick and muscular limbs, sharp claws, hook-like spikes jutting out from every part of its long tail and sword-like teeth. The fur on every part of its body flashed with electrical radiance.

Strong! Its strength surpasses that of a Divine Monarch. It is already close to the Paramount Gold Immortal stage. Chen Feng’s eyes flashed with light as he quickly sensed the Fiend’s strength.

Seemingly having sensed Chen Feng’s gaze, the Fiend turned its head to look at Chen Feng. Instantly, Chen Feng saw two beams of light shooting at him. He dodged and the two beams of light flashed by to instantly pierce a distant mountain.

“Very strong,” Chen Feng said, his eyes turning blood-red. His Longevity Wings then unfurled, reaching a length of 1,000 zhang. The Longevity Wings were completely blood-red in colour and the laws of blood rippled across its surface.

Even the Longevity Combat Armour that he wore had turned blood-red in colour. At the same time, blood energy kept emanating outwards and a bloody light charged into the sky. Chen Feng had seemingly emerged from a sea of blood, looking even more like a blood cultivator that a blood cultivator from the Blood Plane.

Weng!

Inside Chen Feng’s body, the Blood Mustering Bead rotated non-stop as Chen Feng pushed his laws of blood to their limits.

Firstly, it was to display his own strength. Secondly, it was to eliminate the Fiend’s feelings of hostility towards him.

As expected, seeing Chen Feng radiate such wicked power, the Fiend was taken aback. Next, it retracted its gaze. Due to that, however, the cultivators from the Immortal Plane became the unlucky ones.

“Were you fellows behind what happened just now?” The sound waves from the Fiend were somewhat grating, giving others the sense that their souls were being sliced.

“Attack!” Divine Monarch Fountain Guard said, waving his hand. Next, a massive stone stele suddenly appeared to smash down on the Fiend.

Heaven-subduing Stone Stele! Chen Feng’s eyes lit up as he recognized the magic treasure.

The stone stele was rectangular in shape with mountains and rivers engraved on it. It shone with a grey lustre and Chen Feng could sense that it was world power. Immediately, he recognized this highly ancient and renowned magic treasure.

It was a pinnacle existence amongst mid-grade Divine artifacts.

In the beginning, Chen Feng had assumed that the Fiend would evade. After all, judging from its appearance, this Fiend should be very fast. But the Fiend merely chuckled as it faced the incoming stone stele. A pair of broad wings appeared on its back and they flapped to send out one wave of light after another.

Boom!

The Heaven-subduing Stone Stele smashed onto the Fiend’s body, surprising Chen Feng. However, he quickly understood what the other party planned to do.

The stone stele smashed down, breaking the Fiend’s wings. Breaking sounds could be heard coming from the bones of the Fiend’s body and it released a furious roar. Clearly, the attack had wounded it.

“Ha ha ha! Although your level is very high, you have been sleeping for a long time now. Did you end up becoming stupid because of that? My Heaven-subduing Stone Stele can subdue and kill even Divine Monarchs! You are still not a Paramount Gold Immortal. And yet, you dare take it head on? You fool!” Divine Monarch Fountain Guard laughed smugly.

“Is that so? This is indeed a decent magic treasure. However, you want to use it against me? It seems a little lacking,” the Fiend said.

“I think you may not know this, but there are none who can escape after getting suppressed by my Heaven-subduing Stone Stele.” Divine Monarch Fountain Guard grew even more smug.

“Unfortunately for you, I am a Fiend born from chaos, not some weak humans like you. Now, open!” the Fiend said, its colossal body abruptly sinking, causing the lands to shake. Next, deep cracks appeared.

It is using the Heaven-subduing Stone Stele’s power to enlarge the opening. Divine Monarch Fountain Guard has made a mistake this time, Chen Feng thought.
