Chapter 832 Making Things Hard

Translator: podao001

Moreover, the Four Great Academies were not the only ones to receive news that Glassy Lightning Flowers were emerging from the Lightning Pond. Thus, there was no telling just how many cultivators from the world of cultivation would be lured over.

Then, another battle would surely erupt.

The lightning powers hovering in the air within the Lightning Region automatically assailed Chen Feng and the others once they entered. Like living creatures, the strands and streams of lightning were desirous of ripping and scorching them.

However, all of them were cultivators at the Human Immortal stage. Thus, the lightning powers were simply incapable of even approaching them.

“This Lightning Region was formed 10,000 years ago. It is said that a mysterious object descended from outer space, killing countless lives when it smashed against the ground. In the end, this Lightning Region was formed. Since then, countless cultivators had entered, wanting to figure it out. However, they would all return after failing. The reason for that is because not even Earthen Immortals could enter the innermost area of the Lightning Region,” Marquis Scarletfire, who was beside Chen Feng, said smilingly.

Chen Feng nodded. He did have some knowledge about that.

Absolute Academy sent out a total of 16 people for this. Chen Feng and Marquis Scarletfire were together. At any rate, the two of them were mid-level Human Immortals and the others would not associate with the two of them as they ventured forward.

Secretly observing the group, Chen Feng noticed that two of the peak-level Human Immortals were very close and they were secretly discussing something. They were likely here together. Most importantly, Chen Feng could sense that they were secretly harbouring killing intent towards him.

However, Chen Feng was not feeling too concerned. He had fought against Ascendant Immortals before. No matter how talented these cultivators may be, there was nothing about them that would worry Chen Feng.

There were also two other peak-level Human Immortals, who moved forward on their own in an aloof manner. However, one of them also displayed hostility towards Chen Feng.

All of them were geniuses amongst geniuses. Thus, it was only normal for them to be displaying a certain level of arrogance.

Of the 10 high-level Human Immortals in the group, half of them harboured killing intent towards Chen Feng. Sensing that, Chen Feng did not know whether to laugh or to cry.

It seemed that his actions of killing off Jue Wushen and the others had still brought forth the vengeful actions of some fellows. Only, Chen Feng was surprised at the fact that they could wait so patiently, only taking action after all this time.

Is this it? They would likely be incapable of doing anything to me. It’d be a different thing if they bring a few Earthen Immortals, Chen Feng thought.

“Brother Scarletfire, our academy had dispatch so many experts out this time. If all of them die, won’t this translate into a serious loss for the academy?” Chen Feng and Marquis Scarletfire were trailing behind and Chen Feng could not stop himself from saying, a wry smile on his face.

“Heh, it’s nothing! The Four Great Academies has too many elite students. Even if a few more dies, it will not matter,” Marquis Scarletfire replied with a snicker.

“That makes sense. At any rate, the number of cultivators in the world of cultivation is simply too high.” Chen Feng nodded.

Chen Feng and Marquis Scarletfire had not been chatting secretly and everyone there could clearly hear everything they said. Due to that, Immortal Golden Soul instantly shouted at them, “What are you two babbling about? Do you two have a death wish?”

“Immortal Golden Soul, do not worry. I will kill you off later,” Marquis Scarletfire replied with an indifferent smile. He appeared to be looking down on Immortal Golden Soul.

Chen Feng knew quite a bit about Marquis Scarletfire’s strength. Thanks to his Magic Eyes of Darkness, Chen Feng could tell that Marquis Scarletfire was highly formidable. For him, defeating Immortal Golden Soul was a very real possibility.

In Absolute Academy, a student who could defeat another student who was on a higher level would indeed be quite the defiance of Heaven. Even for Chen Feng, if he were to rely solely on his own cultivation base and not his magic treasures, defeating a cultivator on a higher level would take quite some effort. In fact, he might even meet his match.

Immortal Golden Soul had wanted to take action. However, he finally held himself back. Next, a sinister smile appeared on his face. “I’ll let you be arrogant for now. Later on, though, you will die. There will be no need for me to take action.”

“Then, we’ll just have to see who dies first.” Marquis Scarletfire sneered.

They stopped talking and continued to venture forward. However, Chen Feng could sense gazes filled with killing intent secretly observing him.

“Brother Scarletfire, truth be told, there is no need for you to partner up with me.” Chen Feng sent Marquis Scarletfire a secret vocal transmission.

“It’s nothing. They are just a bunch of minor characters who cannot reach the apex. Brother Chen, there is no need to say anything else. I have my own reasons for this. At any rate, there is a conflict between me and Immortal Golden Soul.”

Due to that, Chen Feng decided not to talk too much about it. Instead, he carefully observed the lightning powers around them.

The lightning powers within the Lightning Region were very active. Their formidable power aside, they were also filled with spiritual attributes. They were harder to absorb. However, the benefits gained from absorbing and refining them was great.

After entering the Lightning Region, Chen Feng sent his divine sense out to scan the place. He found many cultivators cultivating themselves there. Some were simply absorbing the lightning powers, some were using the lightning powers to temper and refine their magic treasures and some utilized the lightning powers to temper their own bodies.

However, all of them were beneath the Human Immortal stage. Those with higher cultivation bases would venture deeper in, either cultivating themselves there or exploring the place.

Not only were there some lightning beasts of varying types there, there were also some lightning-type spiritual trees and spiritual herbs.

After absorbing some of the lightning powers there, Chen Feng stopped. The lightning powers there were not too useful for him. It would appear that he would need to venture to the Lightning Pond first.

Their group advanced swiftly, not stopping along the way to quickly cover a distance of tens of thousands of li. This was due to the intense competition between the Four Great Academies.

It was then that one of the peak-level Human Immortals at the front said, “You two, go handle those lightning beasts.”

His name was Sword Immortal Azuretip. He was one of the two Human Immortals harbouring killing intent against Chen Feng. His cultivation base was formidable, strong enough to fight against an Earthen Immortal.

“Why should we do it?” Marquis Scarletfire was quick to respond.

“If I tell you to go do it, then just go do it. The four of us are the captains for this task. If anyone disobeys our orders, we four will be sure to quickly put them down. What is it? Are the two of you thinking of going against our orders?” Sword Immortal Azuretip’s eyes glinted with iciness.

Hearing Sword Immortal Azuretip’s words, some of the cultivators there snickered. The others simply looked on impassively to see what would happen next.

Marquis Scarletfire had wanted to retort again when Chen Feng secretly stopped him.

“Disobeying orders. That’s not the right thing to say. Here, we are all team mates. So, you have no right to order us to do anything. However, dealing with some minor lightning beasts is not a big deal for us,” Chen Feng said, striding forward to take the front position on the team. Seeing Chen Feng’s actions, Marquis Scarletfire had no choice but to follow suit.

“Humph! You’re just a mid-level Human Immortal. You think that you can put on airs just because you have a backer? Absolute Academy is not a place for you to be haughty,” Sword Immortal Azuretip said with a scornful smile.

By then, a group of lightning beasts had already charged towards them.

The lightning beasts coming at them were not all of the same type. However, all of them possessed the power of lightning within them. The number of lightning beasts was very high at over 1,000. However, with the exception of the three Yao Kings leading them, the others were only at the Great Yao stage.

Chen Feng and Marquis Scarletfire aside, any one of the cultivators in their team could have handled all of the lightning beasts. It would appear that Sword Immortal Azuretip was treating Chen Feng and Marquis Scarletfire as servants.

“Attack!” Chen Feng was the first to attack, displaying the Great Longevity Palm right from the start. A massive palm silhouette charged forward like a mountain to smash the lightning beasts.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A high number of the lightning beasts were knocked away by the palm silhouette’s charge and all of them cried out in misery even as light flashed out from their bodies.

Boom! Boom!

The Yao Kings then took action. Lightning crackled, assuming various forms and undergoing a series of compression processes. Surprisingly, it was a secret lightning technique.

“These lightning beasts are innately capable of comprehending some secret techniques and skills. Human cultivators on the same level as them would truly be no match for them.” Marquis Scarletfire attacked as well and a volcanic-like power instantly erupted. Flames swept forward with a ferocious and unstoppable atmosphere of power.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, did not utilize any moves that were particularly flashy. He simply fired out a few more Great Longevity Palms.

Finally, the few Yao Kings were killed off. Seeing how formidable they were, the other lightning beasts scattered. On Chen Feng and Marquis Scarletfire’s side, they did not give chase.

Although the cultivators there were surprised at how fast Chen Feng and Marquis Scarletfire were able to clear the lightning beasts, they did not say anything before continuing their advance.

Next up, lightning beasts would continuously appear. Naturally, it was up to Chen Feng and Marquis Scarletfire to deal with them once more.

“Chen Feng, let’s just leave them and go forward on our own. Those two fellows are incapable of stopping us.” Displeased, Marquis Scarletfire sent Chen Feng a secret vocal transmission.

“Don’t worry. Just consider this as training. At any rate, there are some gains to be had here.” Chen Feng responded with a smile on his face, his hand holding onto a yao core.

“Sigh! Just what are you thinking?” Marquis Scarletfire sighed.

“They want to plot against me. However, what they do not know is that I am also looking for an opportunity to plot against them. Besides, this is my first time here. I am not too familiar with the Lightning Region. Having them help me explore this place is a good thing.” Chen Feng smiled.

“You sure are insidious. However, those fellows are not to be underestimated either. Be careful.”

“If they anger me, I will just have to kill them off directly.” Suddenly, killing intent rose up from Chen Feng.

“Truth be told, there are no formidable lightning beasts here. Only after entering the Lightning Pond will we encounter lightning beasts that are strong. Moreover, the lightning powers within the Lightning Pond are very strong as well. In addition to having to deal with the lightning powers around us, we will also have to contend with the lightning beasts there. Don’t think that everyone here is an expert. When the time comes, there is no telling just how many would end up dying here.” Marquis Scarletfire snickered.

As the two of them led the way, fighting off the lightning beasts as they did, Sword Immortal Azuretip and the others were secretly observing the states that Chen Feng and Marquis Scarletfire were in. In the end, the look of contempt on their faces turned to one of seriousness. At the same time, they secretly discussed how they should deal with them.

“The Lightning Pond is just up ahead. Let’s rest for a day.” Marquis Scarletfire then sat down on a piece of rock. He had been constantly engaged in fights along the way. Even someone made of iron would feel exhausted from all that.

“You cannot rest! Head directly into the Lightning Pond!” Sword Immortal Azuretip shouted.

“Fine, you fellows go ahead. The two of us need to rest for a while,” Marquis Scarletfire said lazily.

Chen Feng smirked and stopped as well.

“Looks like the two of you want to disobey our orders. Immortal Golden Soul, Immortal Earthslip, you two go capture Chen Feng and Marquis Scarletfire,” Sword Immortal Azuretip said.

“No problem.” A ferocious grin flashed across the faces of both Immortal Golden Soul and Immortal Earthslip. Next, their auras burst outwards as they made ready to attack Chen Feng and Marquis Scarletfire.
