Chapter 70: Tower (1/2)
Boom!
Light suddenly flashed out before Chen Feng and his feet landed upon soft ground. Next, a rich fragrance of flowers entered his nose.
“What is this place?”
Looking around, Chen Feng saw that they were standing amidst a sea of flowers with soft green grasses growing on the ground. Raising his head, he saw that the clear sky was a deep blue colour while the clouds rolled about thousands of li away (1 li = 0.5 km).
“A good scenery.”
Even Lu Ta, who would usually show an indifferent attitude, was unable to stop himself from praising the place.
“Judging by the level of my magic power, we should be over 1,000 li away from the place,” said Ye Ziming after a moment’s pondering.
“One thousand li away. In other words, we have yet to even make our way out from Black Origin Mountain Range?” asked Chen Feng curiously.
“No, Black Origin Mountain Range is very big. It is not possible to get out of here with just one spatial array, unless I am at the Sky Human stage. Either that, or if I possess a highly powerful spatial-type magic treasure,” said Ye Ziming.
“Although we are not out of this place, we did at least make it out from that dangerous situation.” After saying that, Chen Feng sat down and began to heal his injuries.
“You two, protect me,” said Chen Feng as he looked at both Ye Ziming and Lu Ta.
“Why should we? The two of us have suffered from injuries as well,” replied Lu Ta candidly.
“I told you earlier, I have only sucked the Great Yao inside. I have not restrained it. If it escapes, the three of us will be in hot soup,” said Chen Feng calmly.
“Brother Chen’s words are reasonable. The two of us will protect you,” said Ye Ziming with a smile. After that, he moved to the side and stood still. He was actually going to stand guard for Chen Feng.
Seeing Ye Ziming’s actions, Lu Ta went silent. He too, moved to the side and the two of them stood guard on the left and right of Chen Feng. Should anything happen, the two of them would step forward to handle it.
Huh, you can’t blame me for being too cautious. After all, we have only known each other for a short period of time. There is no telling what is going on within the minds of others. I cannot trust others so easily. A guilty Chen Feng thought to himself.
Next, with a thought, Chen Feng’s figure disappeared, leaving only a dark-yellow little tower on the ground.
“Eh?”
Seeing Chen Feng disappear, both Ye Ziming and Lu Ta were taken aback. That was especially true for Lu Ta. After seeing the Longevity Tower, though, a glint of greed flashed through his eyes and he moved towards the tower.
“Wait.”
Ye Ziming spoke up, stopping Lu Ta.
“Brother Chen should be in the process of restraining the Purplebolt Silverlight Wyrm. We should protect him properly,” said Ye Ziming coolly.
Lu Ta’s face froze. Then, without saying a word, he turned and returned to his post.
After Chen Feng entered the Longevity Tower, he saw the Purplebolt Silverlight Wyrm roaring as it bombarded the wall of the Longevity Tower. Furthermore, thanks to the mess wrought by the Purplebolt Silverlight Wyrm, even the Four-eared Spirit Monkey had managed to extricate itself from its shackles. One yao beast and one Great Yao roared ceaselessly within the Longevity Tower.
Earlier, Chen Feng had only sent out a portion of his divine sense. Thus, he could not unleash the Longevity Tower’s strongest level of power. Naturally, restraining the Purplebolt Silverlight Wyrm was out of the question.
After entering the Longevity Tower, the first thing Chen Feng did was to restrain the Four-eared Spirit Monkey once more. The Four-eared Spirit Monkey had been locked up within the Longevity Tower all this time, leading to a decline of its might and aura. Thus, it was easily restrained by Chen Feng.
However, facing the Purplebolt Silverlight Wyrm, Chen Feng knew that it would not be easy.
“Longevity Tower restraints, bind!”
After restraining the Four-eared Spirit Monkey, Chen Feng sent out a grasping motion towards the Purplebolt Silverlight Wyrm. The surrounding streams of energy gathered together to wrap around the Purplebolt Silverlight Wyrm.
However, with just a minor flick of its body, the Great Yao managed to break apart the shackles wrapping around it. After that, crackling sounds could be heard as an electric current flowed through the horn on its head. Next, a purple-coloured thunderbolt shot out towards Chen Feng, arriving before him in an instant.
Shua!
Just as the purple-coloured thunderbolt was about to strike Chen Feng, he disappeared only to re-appear over a hundred metres away. During that critical moment, Chen Feng had utilized the Longevity Tower’s restraining functions to shift himself away. If that attack had struck home, he would most certainly be torn apart. If that were to happen, Chen Feng would receive the honour of being a cultivator who had died within his own magic treasure.
“How dangerous! Have a taste of my Longevity Chains!” Chen Feng shouted aloud as his hands continued forming hand seals. Next, the Longevity Tower gave a shudder. Then, every energy stream within the first level of the Longevity Tower rose before swiftly condensing into thick chains. The chains were grey in colour and they shone with a light of tangibility. It was as though they were made from iron.
This technique that Chen Feng had just displayed was one of the secret techniques from the Longevity Scripture. However, as Chen Feng’s cultivation base was lacking, he could not condense out the Longevity Chains in the outside world. He was presently borrowing the Longevity Tower’s power to unleash this move.
As expected, after the Longevity Chains were condensed out, it displayed its prowess. The chains circled around every part of the Purplebolt Silverlight Wyrm’s body before tightening, wrapping up the Great Yao within its bound. It did not take long for the chains to tie the Great Yao up.
“Puny human. You think that you can lock me up with the power of a magic treasure? Feast your eyes on true power!”
