Everlasting. Everlasting Chapter 1123 Escape

Quickly, however, the triumphant look on Xiaoyao Zi's face disappeared. The resisting force coming out from this extrterrestrial creature was becoming increasingly strong and he slowly lost control over it.

How is this possible? I have spent ten million years refining this corpse. Will something unexpected happen just as I am about to succeed? Having reached that line of thought, Xiaoyao Zi's face turned grim and he took a medicinal pill. His aura thus grew several notches stronger.

It was rare for a cultivator at the Gold Immortal stage to take medicinal pills. Rather, they could simply rely on their cultivation bases to adjust their body, form grand dao laws and study the changes to the chaos of s.p.a.ce. Thus, a medicinal pill that a Gold Immortal would take was surely not an ordinary medicinal pill. The medicinal pill that Xiaoyao Zi took just now could increase his strength by 10%. 

Xiaoyao Zi felt puzzled. He attempted to investigate and divine what was happening only to find nothing out of the ordinary. With the exception of the extrterrestrial creature's increasing power, nothing else was happening. On Xiaoyao Zi's part, he was already too invested into this. Stopping here would mean that his previous efforts were all in vain. More, if this extrterrestrial creature's power continued growing, its broken life imprint might start up again.

Considering the consequences of such a scenario, Xiaoyao Zi hastily poured more power into his endeavour. However, the extrterrestrial creature responded by releasing an even greater amount of power.

“Urgh!” Xiaoyao Zi grunted. He had suffered from a backlash and his face turned pale. Next, he burned a drop of a Gold Immortal's blood essence. Xiaoyao Zi had decided to go all out to refine this clone.

Given the extrterrestrial creature's level of strength, Xiaoyao Zi should have a fairly smooth time refining its corpse. However, everything changed with the partic.i.p.ation of the Longevity Tower. The Longevity Tower kept utilizing secret techniques to stimulate all the power within the extrterrestrial creature's body. After a period of deadlock, Tower finally saw some results. In the face of the extrterrestrial creature's formidable might, Xiaoyao Zi ended up taking a number of wounds.

“When will we be taking action?” Even though Chen Feng was inside the Longevity Tower, he could also sense the dire situation outside.

“It's still too early for that!” Tower said, firing out more runes.

“What are all those runes for?”

“Naturally, to control this extrterrestrial creature. Given my current level of strength, you think that I can escape? That's impossible. Only by utilizing this Gold Immortal stage extrterrestrial creature would I be able to fight against Xiaoyao Zi.”

“Argh! Who is hiding inside? Get your a.s.s out here!” Suddenly, Xiaoyao Zi's voice made its way through the thick layers of flesh to reverberate inside the Longevity Tower. Chen Feng's body shuddered, as though a clap of thunder had just erupted within his sea of wisdom. The resulting reverberations caused him to bleed from his seven orifices and his skin cracked. In but the blink of an eye, he became utterly stained with blood.

“Xiaoyao Zi has found us.” Even though he was already hiding inside the Longevity Tower, Chen Feng's soul flame flickered erratically. The Gold Immortal stage was not something that Chen Feng could face.

“I underestimated him. Still, it's about done. Time to go.” After saying that, Tower disappeared. At the same time, the Longevity Tower began shaking and invisible fluctuations appeared around it. Soon enough, golden light and b.l.o.o.d.y light appeared at the same time as the Longevity Tower established a link with the extrterrestrial creature's body as fast as possible.

“So, someone is playing tricks inside!” Killing intent churned within Xiaoyao Zi's eyes. This extrterrestrial creature of chaos was his most important item. He had been refining it for so many years, it was practically part of his life now. And yet, just as he was about to succeed, someone suddenly interrupted his work. Even if it meant putting his life on the line, Xiaoyao Zi must kill off this person. 

This display of anger from Xiaoyao Zi affected the entire Scarlet Heaven Pocket Dimension. Almost every living creature inside felt fear growing from the very depths of their hearts. That was particularly so when considering the ma.s.sive turbulence created by the clash between Xiaoyao Zi and the extrterrestrial creature of chaos.

This was a clash between two Gold Immortals. The shockwaves from their battle could devastate a whole stretch of starry s.p.a.ce. Rather, they could even affect a small part of the universe, even the laws of s.p.a.ce-time, the nature of energy and the grand daos.

“A great change has happened to the Scarlet Heaven Pocket Dimension. Disciples from the various sects, hurry up and leave!” The shockwaves alarmed the Six Daos Sword Faction and the other three sects. Immediately, they dispatched their experts to enter and investigate what happened. In addition to discovering what happened, they would also pull out the disciples from their respective sects.

Bang!

Thanks to the machinations of the Longevity Tower, the extrterrestrial creature had completely resurrected and the power hidden deep within its blood and genes burst out like a volcanic eruption.

A simple exchange of blows between the two sent Xiaoyao Zi flying, but he swiftly charged back into the fray, the wounds on his body healing up in an instant.

“Great Carefree Image Technique!” Xiaoyao Zi was terribly infuriated and he displayed his strongest killer move. The surrounding stars shook and a figure of Xiaoyao Zi appeared, again and again. Ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand…

In just the blink of an eye, a billion Xiaoyao Zi could be seen hovering all across the starry s.p.a.ce. More, every one of them was constantly moving around to form wondrous magic arrays. At the same time, their speed increased as they superimposed on one another to release a thick aura that covered the sky and surround the extrterrestrial creature of chaos.

“I had spent 10 million years of blood and effort on this. No one is allowed to s.n.a.t.c.h it away!” Xiaoyao Zi's white beard disappeared and his old face immediately turned ruddy and firm while his body became increasingly mighty. It was as though time was rewinding. In the end, Xiaoyao Zi became a young man br.i.m.m.i.n.g with vitality.

The attacks from the extrterrestrial creature of chaos, on the other hand, were very simplistic. There were no unpredictable or wondrous attacks. Instead, it simply roared and smashed its way forward. Relying on the monstrous might of its body, the extrterrestrial creature of chaos trampled through the many bodies of Xiaoyao Zi, causing many of them to disappear away. It did not take long before it successfully created a way out.

“You want to run away? Not so fast!” Xiaoyao Zi waved his hand and his bodies transformed into torrential streams of power. Like ropes, the streams of power wrapped around the extrterrestrial creature of chaos. As for Xiaoyao Zi's main body, a small, black-gold bell had appeared in his hand. Even though it did not appear to be particularly special, when Xiaoyao Zi lightly shook it, Chen Feng, who was inside the Longevity Tower, cried out loudly and fell to the floor. Countless steel needles made their way into Chen Feng's sea of wisdom to instantly rip apart his sea of wisdom into pieces. Even his soul flame was nearly extinguished as a result.

“d.a.m.n it! This is a Divine artifact's soul-type attack!” Chen Feng cried out again while his soul broke apart. After enduring for a moment, his soul flame also began to break apart. Only, it did not immediately dissipate away. Even so, Chen Feng knew that he would not be able to last long.

Roar!

During that critical moment, Chen Feng utilized all the secret techniques that could be of use there. The Soul Subduing Mantra, Heavengulping Absorption Technique, Longevity Sealing Technique, Primary Self Anchoring Mantra, Yin Yang Mantra and even the Yin Yang Vortex. He attempted to destroy the steel needles that were piercing his soul.

Only, it was not that effective. His soul remained in a state of chaos. Even his divine sense was beginning to dissipate away. Rather, his soul flame had been scattered apart already.

Weng!

The Blood Mustering Bead released a wave of b.l.o.o.d.y light, which rapidly expanded in size to envelop Chen Feng's entire sea of wisdom. Following Chen Feng's will, various runes swiftly appeared and flew about to gather up his scattered divine sense and soul flame while sealing up the steel needles that were flying around.

“Kid, I will not be taking action to help you here. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to temper your divine sense. Whether or not you can get rid of all the obstructive inner demons that you have acc.u.mulated will depend on what happens here!” Tower's voice arrived.

“That's right, my son. I will also not do anything. You must rely on yourself for this. I believe that you will be able to get through it.” Boundless' voice also echoed within Chen Feng's sea of wisdom.

Easier said than done! This is a Gold Immortal! Chen Feng had wanted to shout back, but he couldn't even do so. His sea of wisdom was in a state of chaos and his soul flame had burst apart. Due to that, his six senses and spiritual senses began feeling numb. It felt as though his body was unwittingly drifting in the depths of s.p.a.ce. Sensing that, Chen Feng knew that this was not a good sign. His life force and essence were sinking away. Failure to recollect himself meant that he would face the same fate at the mindless extrterrestrial creature.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Chen Feng's attempt to protect his divine sense kept failing and it became increasingly hard to recollect his dispersing divine sense. It was then that every one of his insight acupoints began spraying out the power acc.u.mulated within them. Like great rivers, the power surged into Chen Feng's sea of wisdom.

Like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, Chen Feng's sea of wisdom became even more chaotic. However, the rivers of power also pummelled the steel needles invading the sea of wisdom into pieces. In the end, a wisp of soul flame converged to transform into Chen Feng. Opening his mouth, that Chen Feng then inhaled and all the scattered parts of his soul flame were pulled in. This body, formed using his soul flame, grew even stronger and more tangible. Then, pressing his hands down, the turbulence within his sea of wisdom calmed down. Longevity-type primary energy poured in and the badly damaged sea of wisdom swiftly recovered.

My divine sense was damaged and my soul flame has been reduced by half. However, their quality has doubled. This could be considered as a blessing in disguise. Chen Feng had successfully stabilized the chaotic situation and dealt with the danger. Even so, his body was in a somewhat weakened state. Earlier, Chen Feng had given it his all, forcing himself to go beyond his limits. Naturally, it also meant that he had seriously exhausted the essence, energy and soul power that he had stockpiled within his body.

Following that, Chen Feng continued to work on his recovery. Only after his essence, energy and soul power had recovered to their peak levels did he turn his attention back to his body.

An extrterrestrial creature the size of a mountain range was lying in front of Chen Feng. Just looking at it caused Chen Feng's divine sense, which he had to struggle arduously to recover, to become unstable again.

This was the body of a Gold Immortal stage extrterrestrial creature. The coercive atmosphere of might that it emanated was simply too strong. With a thought from Chen Feng, a barrier emerged from the Longevity Tower to block the offensive power of the atmosphere of might.

“Tower, you succeeded?” Chen Feng asked, feeling shocked and delighted.

“Naturally. Didn't you succeed as well?” Tower appeared before Chen Feng, a smile on his face. 

“I nearly died there.” Chen Feng shook his head, sighing.

“I also nearly failed. Still, that Xiaoyao Zi will definitely become enraged to the point of puking out blood. This extrterrestrial creature's body is something that Gold Immortals would fight over. Additionally, he had also spent ten million years refining it. It is indeed the best item to be turned into a clone. A pity, your strength is still too low. You still cannot use it,” Tower said with a smile. 

“My own strength is still the most important thing here,” Chen Feng said smilingly. Silently calculating the time, he then grew shocked.

“I actually spent 10 years in cultivation! Where are we now?”

“You'll know once you go out.”

With a flash, Chen Feng appeared outside the Longevity Tower. Only then did he realize that he had returned to his own grotto-mansion inside the Six Daos Sword Faction.

“So, I have returned. Will Xiaoyao Zi come out?” Chen Feng grew somewhat concerned.

“Xiaoyao Zi was badly wounded in the fight. Back then, he did come to this world as well. If it weren't for the appearance of two Gold Immortals who then besieged him, tsk, tsk, it would have been hard for me to sneak away. Naturally, even if Xiaoyao Zi were to appear here now, he would not be able to find me,” Tower revealed a smug smile.
