Chapter 1042 Formidable Extra-terrestrial creature

Translator: podao001

“The planet is quite interesting. Despite its state, the fact that it could continue to exist proves that it is extraordinary. However, I am more interested in figuring out why the True Immortals from the Immortal Plane would go to the planet. Could there be some other mysteries on it?” Chen Feng said with a smile as he stretched a finger to tap space. As a result, the image of the distant planet became clearer and clearer. In the end, they were able to see several True Immortals stuck inside a set of highly peculiar restrictive arrays. An extra-terrestrial creature the size of a small mountain was lying down outside the restrictive arrays. Occasionally, it would release a roar and the resulting soundwaves from its roar would enter the restrictive arrays to seriously wound the True Immortals.

Sou!

A stream of light charged into the restrictive arrays and one of the True Immortals there was instantly killed. His soul was shattered, incapable of reforming itself anymore.

“This extra-terrestrial creature is very strong. Its attacks contain highly formidable power of death. Looks like it was also born here. Either that, or it has been cultivating the grand dao of death from the very beginning.”

“Very strong. It is slightly harder to deal with compared to the cultivator from the Soulgobbling Clan earlier.”

“Not necessarily. The attacks of the Soulgobbling Clan cultivator are very mysterious. This extra-terrestrial creature possesses ferocious might and its cultivation of the grand dao of death has reached a profound level. But when compared to the bewildering methods of the Soulgobbling Clan cultivator, I think this extra-terrestrial creature should be slightly easier.”

Chen Feng’s team knew that the other party must already be aware of them. Thus, after a brief discussion, the three of them revealed themselves.

“Ha ha ha ha! This is quite the lively place!” Huo Yunlong laughed.

“Chen Feng, now is not the time to be standing on the side lines. As long as you fellows help us, we can forget about what happened in the past. Additionally, you fellows will have the Immortal Plane as your backer in the future. How about it? Can you see our sincerity?” Seeing that it was Chen Feng’s team, one of the True Immortals quickly said.

Chen Feng and the others exchanged glances before abruptly bursting into laughter. It was as though they had witnessed something most amusing.

“I really wonder how you fellows can cultivate up to this level.” There was a highly ridiculing expression on Chen Feng’s face.

“Firstly, you fellows were the ones who coveted my magic treasures to the point of disregarding your reputation and chased after me for years. If news of this spreads out, you fellows can say goodbye to your reputation.

“After entering this space, you suffered from serious losses. And now that you are in danger, you want us to help you? If you are asking for help, you should show us sincerity. You guys, can you see their sincerity?”

The Dark Kirin merely shook his head. Huo Yunlong, on the other hand laughed louder. “What sincerity? All I can see is their insufferable arrogance. They are already on death’s door, but they still don’t seem to understand their situation.”

“That’s right, they are already on the verge of dying,” Chen Feng said, stretching his hand to jab with a finger, sending a strand of unassuming sword energy through space. The strand of sword energy made its way through the restrictive arrays and one of the True Immortals inside grunted. When the strand of sword energy disappeared, a deep, freshly-inflicted sword wound could be seen on his body.

“Chen Feng! You’re courting death here!” The True Immortal grew infuriated. If it weren’t for the restrictive arrays, he would have charged forward to go all out against Chen Feng.

“Stop joking around. The relationship between our two sides have always been an endlessly bloody one. Me attacking you fellows now is just a normal state of affairs. How is this courting death?” Chen Feng then waved his hand to send surging sword beams forward. Like a torrent of power, the sword beams slashed their way towards the True Immortal who spoke up earlier.

“Slash!”

Likewise, the Dark Kirin also attacked. How could he not take advantage of such a good opportunity?

Previously, in the face of the restrictive arrays and the extra-terrestrial creature’s attacks, the True Immortals were already feeling highly pressured. Rather, they were already on the brink of falling apart. And now, with the participation of Chen Feng’s team of three, three more of the True Immortals there were immediately killed off.

Chen Feng fired out a great palm silhouette, which made its way into the restrictive arrays, attempting to capture the essence, energy and soul power of the three killed True Immortals. However, a burst of slicing power flashed out and the great palm silhouette that Chen Feng created was shredded.

“Looks like this planet is quite something,” Chen Feng said.

“In order to explore the planet, we must first deal with the extra-terrestrial creature.”

After that, the three of them stopped attacking. There were still six True Immortals there. Leaving them alive would exhaust the power of the restrictive arrays somewhat.

On the other side, even though the six True Immortals were aware of what Chen Feng’s team had in mind, they could not stop fighting against the restrictive arrays. The restrictive arrays were constantly exerting pressure on them while launching attacks at them. Additionally, there was also the extra-terrestrial creature that would fire out attacks at them every once in a while. Due to all those factors, stopping their actions of fighting the restrictive arrays would lead to death. Even so, they knew that the chances of them making it out alive was low.

Knowing that they would die, the True Immortals pushed themselves beyond their limits to bring out an unprecedented level of combat power. The restrictive arrays kept bursting and one of them successfully broke out, fighting his way to arrive before the extra-terrestrial creature. He managed to leave a serious wound on the extra-terrestrial creature’s body before the extra-terrestrial creature displayed its might, opening its mouth to simply devour the True Immortal.

“Earlier, when the extra-terrestrial creature devoured him, its actions contained profound grand dao powers. Those True Immortals are goners,” Chen Feng said.

In the face of death, the remaining five True Immortals began burning up their essence power to boost their strength, becoming 10 times stronger. Due to that, they were able to break apart nearly the entire set of restrictive arrays entrapping them as they broke out. Two of the five True Immortals charged towards the extra-terrestrial creature while the other three charged towards Chen Feng’s team of three.

“One each,” Chen Feng said as a river of stars gushed out from the Bedazzling Star Map to instantly engulf the three True Immortals. Next, the Dark Kirin and Huo Yunlong made use of the opportunity to attack.

Later, however, Huo Yunlong moved back, grumbling unhappily. “Didn’t you say one each?”

“You’re too slow.” Earlier, the Dark Kirin had utilized the Dark Scripture to seal up two of the three True Immortals while the third was completely swept into the river of stars that Chen Feng sent out. Due to that, Huo Yunlong’s attack ended up hitting thin air.

As for the two True Immortals who went after the extra-terrestrial creature, they had disappeared.

Chen Feng then exchanged glances with Huo Yunlong and the Dark Kirin. After that, they moved towards the broken planet. Upon landing on the planet, the three of them immediately noticed a high number of special details about the place.

“Although this planet is broken, its core remains. The gravitational force has yet to disappear and there are also faint streams of energy fluctuating about. It means that this planet is only broken, not dead.” Chen Feng’s divine sense spread out and his Magnetic and Four Extreme acupoints spun into action. Next, an invisible power spread out to envelop the planet.

“The majority of this planet contains exotic metals. Additionally, they are all brimming with vitality. They are perfect for forging magic treasures,” the Dark Kirin said.

“Could there be any cosmic essence power here?” Chen Feng’s divine sense transformed into a drill to make its way into the inner part of the planet, but it did not take long before layers of power stopped his divine sense from advancing any further.

It was then that the extra-terrestrial creature arrived before the three of them.

“What kind of extra-terrestrial creature is this?”

“I don’t recognize it. There are billions of unique extra-terrestrial creatures in this world. Surface wise, this extra-terrestrial creature cultivates the grand dao of earth, but there is also the power of metal brewing within its body. I think this fellow wants to launch a sneak attack at us.” The Dark Kirin exchanged secret vocal transmissions with Chen Feng and Huo Yunlong.

“This planet must have some good items.” Next, Chen Feng stamped heavily. With the support of his magic treasures’ power, layer after layer of power then charged into the inner part of the planet.

As a result, the massive broken planet shook and Chen Feng found some places of interest.

“Let me go check it out.” Chen Feng’s figure then flashed to disappear from sight. The extra-terrestrial creature had wanted to stop him only for Huo Yunlong and the Dark Kirin to stop it.

“Humans! You wanna die?!” The extra-terrestrial creature sent out a soul wave and layer after layer of restrictive arrays emerged from the ground and their surroundings to encase both Huo Yunlong and the Dark Kirin. After that, the extra-terrestrial creature’s body swiftly shrank to the size of a human before moving forward to unleash a punch. An earthen-yellow astral fist smashed its way towards Huo Yunlong and the Dark Kirin. At the same time, a golden-coloured blade of light shot towards the distant Chen Feng.

As expected, it was secretly brewing the power of metal earlier. Chen Feng was already 50,000 kilometres away from the extra-terrestrial creature, but the attack arrived in a flash. In response, Chen Feng’s figure darted into a massive hole on the planet.

The blade of light struck the ground, leaving a deep gully there.

Here!

The entire planet was riddled with holes. It was one of these holes that Chen Feng had entered earlier. Upon entering, he sensed faint energy fluctuations coming from deep inside the hole. Without thinking too much about it, Chen Feng hastily entered to swiftly find what appeared to be a naturally-occurring cavern. In addition, there was also a teleportation array there. Who knows how long it had been there?

When he saw the teleportation array, Chen Feng’s eyes lit up. But he quickly turned his gaze away from it. He had determined that the teleportation array was completely damaged. Repairing it would take some time. Moreover, there was no telling where it would lead to.

The item there that had attracted Chen Feng’s attention was a golden-coloured bead located nearby. It hovered within a certain space, with countless runes flowing around it. One glance was all it took for Chen Feng to determine that it was absorbing the power around it. Rather, it was even absorbing the power from the entire planet.

A Golden Bead born from the power of metal. It absorbs the power of metal to strengthen itself and give birth to spiritual attributes. The quality of this Golden Bead is high enough. Even its spiritual attributes are high enough. True Immortals would be fighting one another over it. Only, it has yet to truly develop wisdom. Additionally, this place lacks the nurturing power of Heavenly Tribulation. Chen Feng waved to grab the Golden Bead.

The instant the Golden Bead made contact with his hand, Chen Feng heard a furious bellow coming from the extra-terrestrial creature. At the same time, another agile, golden-coloured blade of light surged through the hole to attack Chen Feng.

Sou!

With a wave of his hand, Chen Feng tossed the Golden Bead forward. Golden light flared out brightly. In the face of the blade of light, the Golden Bead exploded into motes of power of metal. All of them were collected by Chen Feng and poured into his Metal acupoint. That one Golden Bead allowed his Metal acupoint to expand several times bigger and an Immortal artifact to advance by one grade.

Due to that, Chen Feng’s heart became even more inflamed. In his opinion, there should be more Golden Beads on this planet.

Chen Feng flew out from the cavern to swiftly move across the planet’s surface. Every now and again, he would dart into another gully leading into a cavern. As expected, it did not take long before he found another Golden Bead.

On the other hand, Huo Yunlong and the Dark Kirin were no longer capable of holding the fort. After seriously wounding the two of them, the extra-terrestrial creature set up some restrictive arrays around them before going after Chen Feng.

Suddenly, starlight flashed out and Chen Feng appeared before the restrictive arrays. The Primary Spirit Diagram of First Origin transformed into a river to assail and break open the restrictive arrays, allowing Huo Yunlong and the Dark Kirin to escape.

“Chen Feng, did you find anything good? If there is nothing, we will have suffered from a serious loss this time,” Huo Yunlong said with an unhappy tone.

Both Huo Yunlong and the Dark Kirin were grievously wounded. If it weren’t for the protection of the Dark Scripture, the two of them may have ended up with the same fate as the True Immortals from the Immortal Plane. This unknown extra-terrestrial creature was simply too strong.
