Chapter 758 Ascendant Immortal War Soul (1/2)
“Let’s go!”
After exchanging glances, the two of them did not say much before quickly entering the passageway. The walls on either side of the passageway were also engraved with countless runes, which shone with a faint light to give the passageway a bright look.
They leisurely made their way down the stairs. After that, the opening for the passageway on the surface disappeared. Following the disappearance of the opening, the massive platform descended, embedding itself into the flat ground once again.
The disappearance of the other end of the passageway did not escape Chen Feng and Liu Wuxiang’s notice. Exchanging glances yet again, they then laughed.
“I wonder if this is good or bad? Only the two of us managed to enter this place.”
“This way, the amount of competition will lessen considerably.”
“Hopefully, there are some good items down here.”
“There will certainly be danger.”
After saying that, the two of them laughed out loudly. It was strange. In the beginning, both of them had their own motives for partnering up. Even now, the two of them still had their own plans. However, after all this time together, they had to admit that the relationship between them was getting better.
Perhaps, we can truly become friends in the future. That was the thought going through their minds.
Going down the flight of stairs took a long time. At the same time, it was also very uneventful. In the beginning, the two of them moved down one step at a time. Later, they sped up. With the exception of their own voices and the sound of the wind created in their wake, there was no other sound.
One hour later, they finally reached the bottom of the stairs. Secretly calculating, the two of them were shocked to find that they were now over 50 kilometres underground.
As they were heading down earlier, they had attempted to release their divine senses to inspect their surroundings. However, the walls on either side of the stairs possessed a suction force and the soul powers that the two of them released were devoured by the walls. After suffering from the same result a few times, the two of them no longer dared to do it again.
“I forgot. There is a Spirit Gathering Array right on top of us. This action of ours is akin to giving it food.”
“Given our present level of strength, we are still incapable of breaking a Spirit Gathering Array of this level. An item left behind by a True Immortal is not something that the likes of us can destroy.”
“Not necessarily, ha ha!”
The cultivator wore just a layer of leather over his waist, leaving his upper body and legs bare. His long hair blocked vision of his face. However, his muscular upper body revealed that he was a young cultivator brimming with vitality.
“Is he alive?”
“He should be similar to the one we encountered in the past. A war soul will likely come out again. Be careful.”
“He looks somewhat similar to a cultivator from Savage World. Regardless if he is dead or alive, I can feel a strong sense of danger.”
“I feel it too.”
Neither Chen Feng nor Liu Wuxiang dared to be careless and they split up, one dashing to the left and one dashing to the right. Their eyes were trained upon the bare-chested cultivator.
“Is he an Ascendant Immortal?”
“Definitely not an Earthen Immortal.”
“This is bad. Should we run?”
“Ha ha ha! So what if it’s the war soul of an Ascendant Immortal? Alone, we would be incapable of handling it. However, by joining forces, we should be able to fight it.”
“It’s hard to tell who would win, though.”
“The benefits will be monumental.”
As the two of them were discussing the issue, the bare-chested cultivator suddenly snapped open his eyes. The long hair covering his face was blown upwards as a result and two gaze attacks flashed forward with lightning-like speed.
Chen Feng and Liu Wuxiang saw only light flashing out before them as the attacks charged towards them.
Sou!
Chen Feng made use of the Longevity Steps to evade the attack. Even so, the light managed to graze his body and a piece of his flesh disappeared in a flash.
As for Liu Wuxiang, he stretched his hand out to unleash his Yin Yang Cavity move. A black hole, seemingly capable of devouring everything, appeared. However, in the face of the flash of light from the bare-chested cultivator, the black hole easily shattered apart. As Liu Wuxiang was backing away, his palm was pierced, leaving a bloody hole there.
“What?!”
“That is just a gaze. To think that it would be so powerful.”
“Looks like we’ll be in quite a difficult spot. Even though it can only exert 30% of its previous power, the war soul of an Ascendant Immortal will not be easy to handle.”
“If only I can rise up to the Human Immortal stage. I’m barely able to face an Ascendant Immortal right now. Rather, I might lose outright.”
After the gaze attacks were over, the cultivator who was seated cross-legged abruptly stood up. Even when seated, he was already as tall as a normal human. By standing up, he became like a giant, towering high above others. Next, a formidable aura surged out into his surroundings in a violent manner.
Deng! Deng! Deng! Deng! Deng! Deng! Deng! Deng!
Their opponent had yet to attack. And yet, the aura that his body emanated was already enough to force Chen Feng and Liu Wuxiang to back away. This opponent was simply too powerful. Just the atmosphere of oppression that he was exerting upon their souls was enough to make it so that it would be hard to even think about resisting.
The two of them exchanged glances and a bitter smile instantly appeared on their faces.
“Looks like we’ll have to go all out.”
“I fear not even going all out will help.”
