Chapter 449: Reduced to a Mist of Blood (1/2)
“What happened? What is going on here?”
“This is bad! The nine-storey tower earlier is a very powerful magic treasure. We are now trapped inside it!”
“What artefact tier is this magic treasure at? Even our Sacred artefacts are feeling fearful. Could it be a Dao artefact? Or perhaps, an Immortal artefact?!”
After trapping the bandits, Tower retracted some of his aura. Thus, the kneeling bandits were able to get up. Even so, their three Sacred artefacts were still shivering.
“Who cares what artefact tier it is at? All I know is that things are not looking good for us now. If we cannot charge out, all of us might die here,” the middle-aged scholar said.
“Utilize the Sacred artefacts together! I don’t believe we cannot charge out,” said the young cultivator wielding the Sinister Demonwind Flag.
“We have no choice but to go all out!”
After getting enveloped by the Longevity Tower, the bandits realized that they were in trouble. Following a brief discussion, they pushed forth the strongest amount of power they could muster.
Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!
Mouthful after mouthful of blood essence were sprayed out from each of the bandit’s mouth. All of the blood essence then converged before falling upon the three Sacred artefacts. The Sacred artefacts, which had lost the will to fight earlier, began exuding strands of aura.
“Ignite the blood essence!”
“Ignite the blood essence!”
Weng! Weng! Weng! Weng! Weng! Weng!
Their invisible soul powers began fluctuating wildly and they began flowing like rivulets, converging upon the three Sacred artefacts.
“Ignite the soul!”
“Ignite the soul!”
“Ignite the soul!”
It was an abnormally impressive sight. The bandits from Skycloud Mountain were using such an extreme method to stimulate their powers in order to empower the three Sacred artefacts. Even if they were to succeed in overcoming their current predicament, their cultivation bases would plummet. It was something that would require a long time to recover.
Seeing the soaring blood energies secretly shocked Chen Feng as well. If he were not within the Longevity Tower, he would have turned tail and run. Even so, Chen Feng was feeling concerned. At any rate, there were so many Sky Human stage cultivators burning their life force. This power they created with their actions could destroy a 10,000-zhang-tall mountain. Although the Longevity Tower was extraordinary, Chen Feng was not feeling too confident.
“Don’t worry! Let me show you my power.” Tower snickered, not viewing the bandits’ actions as a threat. Rather, he allowed them to continue gathering their power.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Finally, thanks to the all-out efforts from all of the bandits to empower them, the three Sacred artefacts recovered their atmosphere of majesty. Slowly, they hovered up and rays of light began shining out from them.
“Chen Feng! You still have a chance! Let us out, otherwise we’ll both face mutual destruction!” the insidious-looking man suddenly said.
“Mutual destruction? Ha ha ha ha ha! What a joke! No matter how you look at it, this is more like moths flying into flames. How can you call this mutual destruction?” Chen Feng laughed.
“In that case, do not blame us for attacking together! Everyone, attack. Attack together, use all your powers to empower the Sacred artefacts and kill Chen Feng,” the insidious-looking man said.
“All right. Sinister Demonwind Flag, attack!”
“Starsource Sword, break through!”
“Skysoar Warship, smash through!”
The Sinister Demonwind Flag was ghastly and sinister, the Starsource Sword was invincible and the Skysoar Warship was massive in size. The three Sacred artefacts formed the ‘品’ formation to charge towards Chen Feng.
“Tower, it’s up to you now.” Chen Feng did not possess the ability to fight against an attack of this level. Thus, he could only rely on Tower.
“Relax. This is a piece of cake.” Tower snickered again. Clearly, he did not have a high evaluation of the incoming attack.
As the three Sacred artefacts were about to arrive before Chen Feng, Tower abruptly extended a palm out. Next, the palm rapidly expanded in size. Light flowed to radiate a glossy, faint-yellow shine across its surface, which was covered in patterns. Countless runes flashed across the surface of the palm. Like the hand of a Heavenly God, the palm silhouette then pressed down against the three Sacred artefacts.
Even before making contact with the palm, the aura they sensed coming from the palm caused the three Sacred artefacts to tremble. Fear. Submission. Finally, they fought. Not against the palm, but against the control of the bandits from Skycloud Mountain.
“We lost control! How is this possible?”
“This is bad! Give it everything you have, fight to the very end!”
“I don’t have anymore power left. I have burned up almost all of my blood essence!”
“If so, burn it all! Better to fight to the death than die here!”
The bandits went mad in their attempts to fight back. Even so, they could not turn the situation around. The huge palm silhouette kept pressing down. Finally, the three Sacred artefacts began wailing and they swiftly shrank. As they shrank, so too did Tower’s palm silhouette. Finally, the three Sacred artefacts shrank to a length of three inches each before flying into Tower’s palm.
“Three Sacred artefacts collected in such an easy manner?” Chen Feng was dumbfounded.
“That’s right. It is that easy.” Tower responded with a smirk.
“That move you used just now is the Great Longevity Palm, right?” Chen Feng suddenly asked.
“He he, that is right. You noticed? When you have overcome Lightning Tribulation, you will be able to use it as well,” Tower said with a chuckle.
