Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1097 - Huge Windfall

Chen Fan refined the blade, crimson like blood jade.

His understanding of the Dao of blades immediately reached an extremely profound level, encompassing all of Huo Qi’s lifelong insights.

He became a grandmaster of the blade Dao.

His mastery reached a level so perfect, even ghosts and gods couldn’t comprehend it—almost merging with the heavens themselves, uniting with the sharpness and fury of natural law.

“Hahahaha, good, excellent! Huo Qi obtained the legacy of a blade Dao behemoth, and now, by refining this living blade, I’ve inherited it myself. I’ve become a grandmaster of the blade Dao, and my skill has soared by leaps and bounds!” Chen Fan laughed out loud.

Huo Qi was also slain in an instant. Although he had the Vicious Suppressor, an unrivaled blade, Chen Fan’s strength became infinitely close to a Lesser Legendary realm after he revealed the Bodhi ancient tree. Huo Qi just couldn’t resist someone that powerful.

Gui Ku, still stunned nearby, suddenly shivered. Without hesitation, he turned to flee, even sacrificing his lifespan to activate the Blood Escape Technique.

“Run!”

Chen Fan had even crushed the incomparably ferocious Huo Qi, so his death was certain.

However, there was no way he could escape from Chen Fan in his current state.

Chen Fan reached out with the Hand of Sky Rending Stars. It swept across the sky, catching hold of Gui Ku’s neck. His throat rasped, clogged as if with phlegm, unable to utter a word.

“Let me go!” Gui Ku kept kicking his feet. His face, once pale enough to make one question if he was even alive, was now flushed red as he struggled to speak. “If you’re so talented, let me go. We’ll fight fairly. I-in ten years, I will w-w-win against you. Defeating me now means nothing. I will only consider you talented if you win against me again. I’ll admit my defeat only then.”

“Are we children playing house? You failed once, so I should wait? A ten-year promise? A bet? To say something like that, you must be out of your damn mind! You only get one chance. Win, live; lose, die. In your next life, remember not to make me your enemy. They always end up dead.”

Puchi!

Like crushing an egg, he crushed Gui Ku to death.

Once, there were elites from the five major powers high above Yellow Spring Lake. Only Beishan Xue and Beishan Hong escaped, barely, paying dearly with their lives. Bai Yang, Fu Buping, Huo Qi, and Gui Ku—all prodigies of their generation, nurtured by their factions—lay dead at Chen Fan’s feet.

They all were “once-in-a-century” geniuses. Unfortunately, before Chen Fan, any genius seemed childish and laughable.

In pursuit of more Red Spider Lilies, they had fought fiercely, suffering heavy losses in the lake’s depths. Weakened, they became easy prey; everything they fought for now belonged to Chen Fan.

That said, things nearly went sideways. He didn’t expect Huo Qi to have a supreme cursed blade like the Vicious Suppressor.

If Chen Fan didn’t have the Bodhi ancient tree, he might’ve stood no chance against Huo Qi and Gui Ku.

But now, all the Red Spider Lilies the others had gathered—nearly a hundred—were his. Adding the twenty-odd he already carried, he now held around a hundred and thirty in total.

These Red Spider Lilies were the culmination of those jiangshi’s essences. They contained not only a massive amount of energy but also the power of law.

Moreover, the people Chen Fan had killed were top-tier prodigies, nurtured with care by powerful factions. Their treasures were also extraordinary, all of which now belonged to Chen Fan. Even putting everything else aside, the primeval stones alone totaled over a hundred million.

What pleased Chen Fan the most, however, was the Vicious Suppressor.

From Huo Qi’s memories, he learned that Huo Qi once went to the Fiendish Corpse Mountain Range and entered that mysterious space, obtaining the Vicious Suppressor.

Chen Fan recalled entering that very space by accident himself, where he saw a colossal head bound in iron chains—a memory that still sent chills down his spine.

Even with his current knowledge, that head struck him as terrifying. It had definitely reached the level of a true immortal, perhaps even surpassing that.

He even suspected it might be stronger than the special envoy from the Phoenix Ancient Realm who took Qin Yao away.

Since Huo Qi obtained the Vicious Suppressor from that space, Chen Fan speculated that it could be an immortal artifact, a weapon surpassing even the finest treasures.

Though just a theory, the thought was compelling.

Having killed Bai Yang, Fu Buping, Huo Qi, and the others this time, he had filled his pockets to the brim. The hundred and thirty Red Spider Lilies were enough to produce a Legendary realm expert or two.

If he consumed them all, he could step into the Legendary realm immediately.

Of course, Chen Fan did not plan on doing so.

The laws contained within the Red Spider Lilies had been cultivated by the jiangshi in their lifetime. They weren’t Chen Fan’s own insights.

To progress further in martial arts, one had to advance step by step, relying on personal comprehension.

In the Yellow Spring Lake, the jiangshi roared continuously. Their ferocious gazes were locked firmly onto Chen Fan, filled with resentment, hatred, and brutality, but he ignored them all.

However, to prevent trouble, Chen Fan flew out of this region.

......

A few days later, news of Chen Fan’s feat—killing four peerless prides of heaven: Bai Yang, Fu Buping, Huo Qi, and Gui Ku—spread throughout the entire ancient battlefield, setting off huge waves.

Although he was already famous before this, that was only among those in his generation.

Bai Yang, Fu Buping, and the others were peerless prides of heaven from the generation before Chen Fan’s. They were all Legendary realm seeds, meticulously cultivated by powerful forces.

Now, Chen Fan, a brilliant cultivator from the younger generation, had killed them. It immediately created a huge commotion.

These weren’t mere rising stars; they were veterans who had already reached the quasi-Legendary level and were steadily advancing toward full Legendary status.

Barring accidents, they were bound to become Legendary realm experts and reach even greater heights.

Yet now, all of them had fallen to Chen Fan.

It became clear: Chen Fan had already surpassed the top talents of his generation—and was now challenging, and even defeating, the legends of the last.
