Everlasting Chapter 486: Iron Cage (1/2)

“A Yao King!”

Every one of the cultivators there exclaimed. None of them expected a Yao King to appear at a time like this. Additionally, it would appear that this was an abnormally ferocious Yao King.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

One flying sword after another kept striking the ape's body. However, the ape did not attempt to dodge the attacks at all because the attacks were incapable of leaving even shallow wounds on its body.

From what the cultivators there could see, there was no difference at all between this ape and the apes that they had encountered along the way. They looked similar. It even had the same size as those normal apes. However, the aura radiating out from this ape's body was simply too savage. Additionally, it was even faster. In just the blink of an eye, many of the cultivators there had died to the ape. Even more horrifying was the fact that their attacks were completely incapable of harming this ape who was impervious to weapons, fire and water.

When he found out that this ape was a Yao King, Chen Feng smiled. However, the other cultivators grew terrified. That was especially true of the loose cultivators who were watching nearby. They began running away. Even so, some had still tried to rush towards the Domain Tree. At any rate, it hadn't been easy to come across a Heaven-defying spiritual tree. It would be too much of a loss to not get something out from it.

Seeing those fellows risk their lives to rush forward, a derisive look appeared within Chen Feng's eyes. From the information Tower had provided him and what he had seen of the Domain Tree's might, Chen Feng concluded that it would be very difficult for these cultivators to break the Domain Tree's attacks and approach it. Naturally, Chen Feng was also interested in experiencing for himself how powerful the Domain Tree's attacks can be. That was also why Chen Feng was continuing to stand there without moving forward.

“It's a Yao King! This is a good opportunity. Junior Brother Chen, let's hurry up and leave this place,” Mu Qingfeng quickly said. Although Mu Qingfeng and Zhang Xuanjin had decent cultivation bases, they knew their limits. Seeing the Yao King pounce at Mo Hong's group, Mu Qingfeng and Zhang Xuanjin knew that their opportunity had arrived.

“Don't worry. However, senior brothers, you two can leave first,” Chen Feng said.

“Junior Brother Chen, what are you planning? This is a Yao King. It is the equivalent of a Human Immortal!” Zhang Xuanjin said apprehensively.

“Don't worry, I know my limits.” Chen Feng remained standing there.

Mu Qingfeng and Zhang Xuanjin looked at one another and quickly discussed the issue for a bit. Then, with a furious nod, they stood beside Chen Feng, not leaving the place.

Seeing them choose to stay surprised Chen Feng. However, he did not think too much about it as he was focused more on the Yao King.

In the face of the charging Yao King, everyone felt anxious. However, Mo Hong and his gang chose to neither retreat nor leave. Instead, Mo Hong stared intently at the Yao King. It seemed as though he was preparing a move.

“What is there to fear? There are so many of us. Can we not kill off an ape?” a cultivator from Nine Firmaments Palace shouted.

“This is unlike the apes we encountered earlier! This is a Yao King!” someone shouted dreadfully. The cultivators who had gathered up to fight Chen Feng's team of three earlier swiftly dispersed.

“Humph! A bunch of morons,” Mo Hong said with a ridiculing smile.

“Ten Thousand Threads!”

The cultivators from Purple Firmaments Palace made their move and a high-grade Prized artefact quickly spread out. It was a net forged using various rare materials. They controlled it using their magic powers and used it to block the Yao King.

Mo Hong then brought out a black iron block out and hurled it upwards. The iron block hovered in the sky and Mo Hong's hands formed one hand seal after another, causing the iron block to continuously expand in size, growing more indistinct as it did. It looked as though there were countless iron blocks stacked atop one another, or was the iron block continuously splitting up into more iron blocks that looked completely identical?

“They really do possess Sacred artefacts. No wonder they did not run away,” Chen Feng whispered.

“Sacred artefact! They really brought a Sacred artefact inside!” Mu Qingfeng and Zhang Xuanjin exchanged glances and a trace of panic flashed across their eyes.

“Ha ha! What is so strange about this? Did our Extreme Celestial Sect not bring any Sacred artefacts inside?” Chen Feng laughed.

“Naturally, we did. Unfortunately, there is no way any of them could end up with us. They are with the other stronger senior brothers.” Mu Qingfeng shook his head.

“I wonder what is the function of this fellow's Sacred artefact,” Chen Feng asked smilingly, looking at the increasingly grim expression on Mo Hong's face.

“It should be the Iron Cage,” Zhang Xuanjin said.

“Iron Cage?” Chen Feng was puzzled. He had never heard of this type of magic treasure.

“It is a magic array-type magic treasure. You will understand by observing on, Junior Brother Chen.”

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

The Ten Thousand Threads net blocking the ape was easily ripped to shreds and the Purple Firmaments Palace's cultivator revealed a look of pain. A high-grade Prized artefact was ripped apart just like that. Moreover, it had only managed to stop the ape for a moment.

However, that short moment was enough. The magic treasure that Mo Hong hurled upwards had begun revealing its might. The dark iron block had already transformed into an indistinct-looking cage with a radius of 10 zhang. Its black rays of light seemingly fused together with s.p.a.ce to entrap the ape within it. It was as though a freshly-caught wild beast had been thrown into an iron cage.

That was the Iron Cage.

To Chen Feng's surprise. The ape, which had revealed an incomparable display of ferocity, failed to break free after struggling for a bit. Rather, it grew furious and howled as the Iron Cage shrank.

“So powerful?” Chen Feng was shocked.
