“How unfortunate, I am still incapable of advancing to the Demon Deity (Earthen) stage, otherwise we'll be able to hold on for a while longer,” the Frost Serpent said with a twinge of regret.
“Even if you are already a Demon Deity, you won't be able to do too much. At most, you can just delay our defeat for a while longer.”
“Originally, I had a.s.sumed that with the Immortal-tier Great Wave Blade in my hand, I should have no problems defending the Starry Islands. Unexpectedly, our enemies would also mobilize an Immortal artifact. They are well prepared. We should just retreat for now. After the Island Lord leads our men back, we can talk about attacking again,” the Two-headed Windbolt Wyrm said. That said, anyone could tell that – with this retreat – it will be difficult for them to attack into the Starry Islands again in the future. In front were the many far-ocean forces while the first-rate sects from the Central Plains were behind them. This was a very big disaster for East Dragon Island.
“By the time the Island Lord returns… sigh, it might already be too late.”
Suddenly, a mote of golden light flew over from afar. Next, it abruptly erupted with power, firing out countless sword beams. Like a tempest, the sword beams swept forward and over a thousand of the water yaos pursuing East Dragon Island's cultivators were grinded into pieces.
Next, the Frost Serpent felt something weighing down on his hand and found that there was a sword in his grasp. The sword shone with golden light.
“Immortal artifact!” Both the Two-headed Windbolt Wyrm and Frost Serpent cried out in shock.
“This is an Immortal artifact that I refined myself. It should be easier for you fellows to use.” Chen Feng's voice rang out from the Steel Enigma Sword.
“That's the Island Lord's voice! He actually sent over an Immortal artifact from the Planar Battlefield!” the Frost Serpent said, excitement in his voice.
“If so, there is no need for us to retreat anymore.”
“With two Immortal artifacts, defending the Starry Islands should not be an issue anymore.”
Truth be told, Chen Feng was feeling somewhat frustrated as well. While he did possess several other Immortal artifacts on his person, the Steel Enigma Sword was the only one that he had personally refined up to the Immortal tier. As for the other Immortal artifacts, those had been forcibly s.n.a.t.c.hed over. Without the suppressive effect from the Longevity Tower, Chen Feng feared that some other issues might pop up. That was the reason why he had only sent over the Steel Enigma Sword.
“With Senior Bi Qing there to defend East Dragon Island, there should be no major issues. If that doesn't work as well, I will just have to take the risk and return.” Next up, however, East Dragon Island no longer asked Chen Feng for help. Due to that, Chen Feng gradually grew relieved.
After resting for a time, East Dragon Island's army in the Planar Battlefield then moved on, joining forces with other sects to fight another three times. It was against Median World, Primal World and Spirit Orb World. And so, this phase of the Planar War came to an end.
Naturally, this was just the war in this battlefield. After this, they will have to enter another battlefield and continue fighting. The Planar War would go on for 100 years.
The cultivators under Chen Feng's command, including those from East Dragon Island and loose cultivators, totalled up to over 20,000 men. After this phase of the Planar War, however, only 10,000 men were left. East Dragon Island lost 40% of their men. Even so, every one of the survivors made significant progress. Four managed to break through to the Earthen Immortal stage while tens of them managed to break through to the Human Immortal stage.
This high-level combat power was what a sect needed the most.
With the phase over, they had a year to rearrange their forces. And so, Chen Feng led his men back to East Dragon Island. As for the several thousand loose cultivators who joined East Dragon Island's side for the Planar War, most of them chose to join East Dragon Island. Naturally, Chen Feng would not reject them. Those who could survive the Planar War were undoubtedly elites.
By the time Chen Feng led his men back, East Dragon Island had returned to a state of tranquillity. With Bi Qing, an Ascendant Immortal, there to provide protection, all the surrounding forces fell silent. Warlord Pavilion attempted to attack East Dragon Island several times only to lose in the end.
Originally, as Chen Feng was returning, he had planned on dealing with Warlord Pavilion. After further consideration, though, he finally decided to only do so after the war was over.
This time, despite coming under attack, East Dragon Island had managed to turn defeat into victory. More, they managed to stabilize themselves. They even managed to fully occupy the entire Starry Islands. Due to that, Chen Feng decided to replenish his army for the Planar War.
This time, the number of Human Immortals was increased to 150 while the number of Sky Human stage cultivators was increased to 20,000. Chen Feng had witnessed the benefits of partic.i.p.ating in this war.
One year quickly went by. As for Chen Feng, he had spent all that time tempering himself, but he did not a.s.sail the Earthen Immortal stage. In addition to tempering himself to make himself stronger, all he did was to refine his weapons and magic treasures.
It had to be said, the magic treasures within Chen Feng's body were either Immortal artifacts or Dao artifacts. Every single one of them contained world-obliterating powers. All of them were gathered within Chen Feng's body. Rather, it would be more accurate to say that they had fused to become one with Chen Feng's body, becoming part of Chen Feng's strength.
Due to that, even if Chen Feng had to enter cultivation retreat for a thousand years, he would not begrudge it as too long.
