Chapter 893 The Formidable Nine Firmaments Palace (1/2)
These changes caught Chen Feng by surprise.
The number of cultivators on Nine Firmaments Palace and Extreme Celestial Sect’s side increased at the same time.
In Nine Firmaments Palace’s case, it was understandable. However, seeing a highly formidable force charge out from Extreme Celestial Sect thoroughly shocked Chen Feng.
Even at such a juncture, Extreme Celestial Sect had still held back such a force. If it weren’t for my appearance, this force would likely not have appeared. They must be Extreme Celestial Sect’s final force. Right, I remember now. In the past, when Lei Batian and the others came to help me, they did mention that there is a place in Extreme Celestial Sect meant for training a considerable number of cultivators. Looks like he was referring to this force.
This final force that Extreme Celestial Sect deployed consisted of 200 Human Immortals and 20,000 Sky Human stage cultivators. There were also several Earthen Immortals hidden amongst them.
The strength of this force was nearly as strong as the one that Chen Feng had brought over. Most importantly, these cultivators had been nurtured through certain unique regiments. Thus, when it came to the ability to kill and wage war, these cultivators were in fact, superior to the cultivators that Chen Feng brought over.
The powers displayed by the cultivators in the Human Immortal stage and Sky Human stage were very identical.
The moment they appeared, they immediately punched a gap through the forces encircling the Extreme Celestial Mountains, fighting all their way to First Origin City to beat back the cultivators attacking First Origin City.
During this process, over 100,000 cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace were killed. Additionally, the number of casualties on their side was still on the rise.
These cultivators were practically a bunch of murderous madmen. Upon realizing that their sect still possessed such a force, the morale of the cultivators from Extreme Celestial Sect rose greatly.
However, it did not take long before another change presented itself.
Nine Firmaments Palace deployed an even greater force. On the first day, 10 Earthen Immortals leading 100 Human Immortals came forward to stop the assault from Extreme Celestial Sect.
On the second day, 30,000 Sky Human stage cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace arrived.
The Extreme Celestial Mountains was surrounded once again. This time, the encirclement was even stronger than before and the gap that the forces from Extreme Celestial Sect created back then was closed up.
Chen Feng’s forces had been heading towards First Origin City without him. However, they encountered an obstruction before reaching their destination.
A total of 10 Earthen Immortals, 100 Human Immortals and 10,000 Sky Human stage cultivators formed a line of defence to stop Chen Feng’s forces from advancing any further.
The two sides quickly clashed. The Divine Phantom Mink and the Hell Dog led the other Earthen Immortals forward to stop the 10 enemy Earthen Immortals, albeit barely.
Still, the Human Immortals from Chen Feng’s side managed to gain the upper hand. Rather, they were practically slaughtering their enemies. Just tens of Human Immortals from Absolute Academy were enough to butcher the 100 Human Immortals from Nine Firmaments Palace.
By finishing off the Human Immortals and Sky Human stage cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace, they would be able to rush forward and help the Divine Phantom Mink’s group.
Even so, once the fight began, they sensed something amiss. Although their opponents were not as strong as them, these cultivators showed no fear towards death. This fanatic display was something that their previous opponents did not possess.
Although they were able to massacre the enemy cultivators on a large scale, the cultivators on Chen Feng’s side also ended up suffering from some casualties.
That in itself was not an issue. The most pressing issue was the arrival of more reinforcements from Nine Firmaments Palace.
A total of 3 Earthen Immortals were on the way, leading tens of Human Immortals and several thousand Sky Human stage cultivators with them. It would not take long before they arrive.
Shockingly, however, there were more.
On the west side, more cultivators charged forward. Likewise, this sizable group of cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace was led by 3 Earthen Immortals.
North side, southeast side, northwest side. Again and again, cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace began appearing. Every group was led by Earthen Immortals.
Wave after wave of malevolent energy surged high into the sky.
In fact, there were even the auras of pseudo Immortal artefacts.
In the face of this pressure, the confidence of the cultivators on Chen Feng’s side took a hit. Later, even their morale was affected and their combat power began decreasing. Due to the pressure coming from practically every direction, even the faces of the students from Absolute Academy turned grim.
These geniuses were not concerned about their chances of charging out. However, they were uncertain how many of them would be left after doing so.
Over 100 Earthen Immortals appeared to completely surround the cultivators that Chen Feng brought over. At that very moment, just charging out from this encirclement was an issue for them, let alone marching forward to aid First Origin City.
“Impossible! A minor Northern Plains could actually possess this kind of power?”
“This power has surpassed that of a first-rate force in our Central Plains!”
“More, I think it might be comparable to our Holylands!”
“This must be the combined forces from Nine Firmaments Palace, Transcendent Firmaments Palace and Purple Firmaments Palace.”
“Their combined forces are scary as it is. However, this is not all of it, just a portion.”
“Guys, enough nonsense. Let’s figure a way to deal with our current situation.”
“To think that Nine Firmaments Palace would possess such a power. Will Chen Feng be all right?” They began feeling worried for Chen Feng.
The Extreme Celestial Mountains, Extreme Celestial Hall…
