Everlasting Chapter 983 High Prince Five Poisons (1/2)

By then, Bi Qing and the others had already charged out from the remaining streams of poison. But what happened next caused Chen Feng's eyes to widen with shock.
Spheres formed from potent poison kept bursting out from the bottom of the ocean. Some flew to a distance of hundreds of thousands of li from the epicentre. The moment the black spheres made contact with the ocean surface, it caused black water to splash outwards. By the time Chen Feng and the others recollected themselves, the surrounding ocean region – spanning a radius of half a million kilometres – had become pitch-black again. Rather, it was several times thicker than before. Worse, the poison spheres were continuously flying out from the bottom of the ocean.
Sou!
Their final teleportation array was sent forward and the spheres were teleported away. However, there were too many of them. Moreover, all of them were the compressed form of potent poison. Thus, it did not take long before the teleportation array was eroded away as well.
“Tower, can these things be devoured?” Chen Feng secretly asked.
“Yes. Poison is also a form of energy. Since you have cultivated the Heavengulping Absorption Technique, you will be able to devour various types of energy. Only, some time will be needed to refine it. Besides, this poison is not really potent poison. Only the core of the Poison Plane could be considered as potent poison. If there is a chance in the future, you can go try it for yourself. Of course, your cultivation of the Heavengulping Absorption Technique has to first reach a certain level,” Tower said nonchalantly. It seemed he did not view what was happening as anything of importance.
Hearing that, Chen Feng grew elated. Additionally, a plan also formed in his mind. If he could collect all the potent poison here, they would become a killing move in future fights. Unleas.h.i.+ng this poison out during a battle would result in a nightmare, for the enemy, of course.
After considering that, Chen Feng reached out with his hand and grasped. Next, one of the poison spheres – s.h.i.+ning with black light – flew into Chen Feng's hand, where it disappeared with a flash.
“Chen Feng, what are you doing?” Patriarch Heavenly Sword and the rest were flabbergasted. Only Bi Qing revealed an ambiguous smile as he observed Chen Feng's actions. He had understood what Chen Feng was trying to do.
As the Heavengulping Absorption Technique continued to take effect, the poison sphere that could even scare Yao Overlords was stripped away. Its poison dissipated and it finally disintegrated into energy streams. All of the energy streams were refined and absorbed by Chen Feng.
I can indeed refine it! Chen Feng was immediately overjoyed at the results. Next, however, he sighed. While he could indeed refine it, speed was an issue. Given his level of strength, refining seven or eight of them would not be an issue. But there was an endless number bursting out from the bottom of the ocean. In Chen Feng's opinion, he would have to be a True Immortal if he wanted to refine the poison within the ocean region there.
Despite that, Chen Feng had still decided to make use of the Longevity Tower. In just the blink of an eye, over 1,000 poison spheres had been sucked into the Longevity Tower.
These things are too fierce. Unless absolutely necessary, it'd be best to not use them. After the poison spheres entered the Longevity Tower, there was a need to create a separate s.p.a.ce for them, otherwise they would corrode away all the items that Chen Feng was keeping inside the Longevity Tower.
Bi Qing and the others from East Dragon Island were able to look on calmly as Chen Feng absorbed the poison spheres. They all knew about the Longevity Tower, after all. However, the same could not be said of the four Yao Overlords. Seeing Chen Feng's actions caused a chill to run down their hearts.
Due to Chen Feng's actions of utilizing the Longevity Tower, the poison spheres no longer shot into the surrounding ocean region. Instead, all of them flew into the Longevity Tower.
“The grade of this poison is too low. Also, there are too many impurities inside them. There is no need to absorb them.” The Longevity Tower had long since recovered to the Immortal tier. It thus became very discerning and selective. For the Longevity Tower, this poison was not worthy.
“Even if you don't want it, we can keep it. I need to do some research on the poison from the Poison Plane,” Chen Feng said smilingly.
By Chen Feng's estimate, the poison that he had absorbed could easily kill off tens of Ascendant Immortals. If he were to unleash this poison in a large-scale war, tens of millions of cultivators would die. Thinking of that caused Chen Feng to become even more worried. Back when the blood cultivators entered Eternal World, Chen Feng had felt confident in his ability to deal with them. But what if some experts were to come over from the Poison Plane and unleash such potent poison? Even if they could stop it in the end, it would still spell a great disaster for Eternal World.
Sou!
Suddenly, a large poison sphere flew out. Before the Longevity Tower could collect it, it exploded out of nowhere to form a minor barrier, encasing Chen Feng and the others.
“Ha ha, what an insidious move!” Chen Feng did not feel too concerned. Due to the Longevity Tower's might, the minor barrier instantly dissipated away and even the poison there was devoured.
“Careful!”
Bi Qing abruptly rushed forward, the sword in his hand slas.h.i.+ng out. Following that, sword light erupted and a pitch-black monster was revealed.
“A bat!” All of them were surprised. This hidden creature trying to launch a sneak attack on Chen Feng was a large bat with a ferocious appearance. Unlike Blood Bats, this one was completely black and strands of poisonous energy radiated out from its body.
“Bats are very common. However, those that can live in the Poison Plane is a different story. They could be called Poison Bats.” That sword attack from Bi Qing had only managed to force it to reveal itself. It had not killed off the Poison Bat. A second attack from Bi Qing then hacked the Poison Bat into two before shattering away the severed parts.
The expression on every one of their faces turned grim. It was as though a great enemy was standing right before them. It was just a small bat. And yet, Bi Qing had – despite his formidable level of strength – failed to kill it with one sword attack.
“I was careless. I actually failed to notice it.” Chen Feng shook his head.
“But the Poison Plane is far inferior compared to the Immortal Plane. It should only be on par with the Demon Plane. How could a random bat from that world be so powerful? This does not make sense.”
“Maybe they sent the strong as vanguards.”
Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!
Next, more Poison Bats appeared without respite. Every one of them was as strong as an Ascendant Immortal. In just the blink of an eye, the number of Poison Bats had exceeded 100. By joining forces, Chen Feng and the others managed to kill off over 30 of them. As time went on, however, the pressure exerted by the Poison Bats forced them to retreat far away.
To their relief, the Poison Bats did not pursue them. Instead, they scattered about, seemingly waiting for something.
After the number of Poison Bats exceeded 200, a ma.s.sive hand suddenly emerged from the bottom of the ocean. Five fingers, just like that of a human. Only, the hand was as white as jade.
