Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 917 - Five Elements Celestial General

“Manifestation realm! He is now a Manifestation realm expert!”

The expressions of those people in the vicinity changed, struggling to hide their shock.

They had expected him to die facing the five-element lightning Tribulation. Surprisingly, he absorbed the power of the five-element lightning Tribulation to temper his flesh.

They could clearly sense that thanks to the five lightning bolts Chen Fan’s physique had grown stronger by leaps and bounds.

He had withstood the tribulation and advanced to the first-level Manifestation realm—a feat that left them stunned.

Their gazes turned toward Chen Fan as if he were a monster.

Instead of killing him, the five-element lightning Tribulation had actually made him stronger, acting as a catalyst for his breakthrough.

Rumble!

Crackle!

It was as though the heavens themselves were enraged, their dignity defied.

Lightning coiled within the tribulation clouds before crashing down like a relentless storm, striking all at once instead of one by one.

“Hiss, hiss.” The crowd gasped.

Unlike before, they made no assumptions about whether he would survive. After all, getting slapped in the face once was enough. They just remained silent and watched intently.

“Hahaha, great, come at me!” Chen Fan laughed, his powerful first-level Manifestation realm aura sweeping across the heavens as if to shatter the universe.

Chen Fan’s enormous hand swept violently, shattering countless lightning bolts of the five-element lightning Tribulation and absorbing their energy. The remaining strikes landed on him harmlessly.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Apart from the five-element lightning Tribulation, another army of lightning men appeared, transformed from the five-element lightning. Wielding elemental weapons, they charged down like an unstoppable flood.

The weakest were half-step Manifestation realm, while squad leaders were in the Manifestation realm. Commanders leading hundred soldiers were at the second-level Manifestation realm, and the one leading thousand soldiers were at the third level.

Their collective momentum was terrifying.

“Kill!” Chen Fan was fearless. Clasping his hand, a Heaven Piercing Spear condensed in his grasp.

Chen Fan stomped his foot fiercely, soaring into the air like a roc as he charged into the midst of the five-element lightning soldiers.

Boom, boom, boom...

Amidst the lightning soldiers, Chen Fan rampaged like a war god, obliterating them one after another.

He was now a first-level Manifestation realm expert and his Hegemonic Golden Body was inching toward level 24. Using all that strength, he launched an all-out assault. He let the soldiers’ attacks land on him, and they only left superficial wounds on him.

Like a man possessed, he began to slaughter them crazily, simultaneously absorbing and refining these energies. He demolished ten to twenty soldiers at a time.

The brutal battle raged on for three full days.

It was like two different tragic battles.

The five-element lightning soldiers had an overwhelming numerical advantage. Under their attacks, Chen Fan seemed like a lone leaf caught in a storm, tossed chaotically by the fierce winds.

Yet, despite their overwhelming numbers, they couldn’t harm him. Instead, they were endlessly slaughtered, their energy absorbed to further strengthen Chen Fan.

For three whole days, explosions echoed continuously as Chen Fan killed the five-element lightning soldiers.

The commotion drew an increasing number of demonic cultivators, who arrived one after another, their expressions frozen in shock at the sight of Chen Fan’s unrestrained massacre.

Gu Ling and Cao Shi have long since reached the summit of the demonic mountain and entered a demon palace hall. Now in the fourth-level Manifestation realm, they had just come out of seclusion and were also shocked by the commotion.

When they saw Chen Fan battling against the five-element lightning soldiers, they were stunned beyond words.

They had seen him kill Mu Tianfang, a second-level Manifestation realm expert, while being at the peak Heavenly Star realm. So, they deeply understood the terror of Chen Fan’s strength.

Now, seeing him face a manifestation tribulation of such intensity, they couldn’t help but compare it to the far less terrifying tribulations they had endured when breaking into the Manifestation realm.

Now, they finally understood why Chen Fan was this terrifying.

If the manifestation tribulation he faced was so terrifying, how could Chen Fan not be tremendously powerful and terrifying?

Monstrous geniuses had their own tiers.

If they were considered among the best of them, Chen Fan belonged to the handful at the absolute pinnacle.

Three days had passed but the tribulation clouds showed no signs of dispersing—they were becoming heavier.

Chen Fan slightly exhaled a breath of turbid qi.

He was exhausted. Whether he could successfully overcome his tribulation depended on the upcoming final calamity.

Soon, this final calamity appeared—a five-element celestial general. He was on a horse and wielded a mighty weapon. The five elements had fused to give birth to the five-element general.

He radiated an extremely dangerous aura, sending chills down the spines of those around him.

The general was almost as strong as Demon King Xuan Ting, who was at the peak of the fourth-level Manifestation realm.

Hrururu.

Seemingly sentient, the general’s warhorse charged toward Chen Fan.

Its hooves cracked the sky with each step, its movements almost instantaneous. In the blink of an eye, the Five Elements Celestial General was before Chen Fan.

Almost immediately, the general slashed down with his five-element long saber, producing a sharp whistle. Chen Fan was caught off guard and quickly thrust the Heaven Piercing Spear to block.

Rumble!

The collision between them shook the sky and made it crumble.

Chen Fan was sent flying backward, despite his Hegemonic Golden Body at level 24. A slight tingle ran through his arm—not from the immense force, but from the numbing five-element lightning.

He steadied himself. A sharp light burst out from his eyes as he charged toward the general. With a powerful thrust, he aimed the Heaven Piercing Spear at an impossible angle, intending to collapse the sky itself.

Yet the Five Elements Celestial General remained unfazed, striking downward with his long saber.

Chen Fan’s heart raced, and he swiftly retreated as the saber came crashing down with enough force to tear heaven and earth apart.

Surrounding demonic cultivators let out disappointed murmurs, silently acknowledging that Chen Fan’s quick retreat had saved him just in time.
