Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 918 - Successfully Overcoming Tribulation

Chen Fan’s expression was solemn.

The five-element celestial general was simply unkillable—formed from energy, he felt no pain and didn’t fear death.

This was the most terrifying aspect: no matter what, you couldn’t beat him to death. He couldn’t be killed, but he could end you with a single strike.

Most importantly, the five-element celestial general descended bearing the will of the Heavenly Dao.

He had no emotions—just a relentless fighting machine with only one thought: battle. Such an opponent had almost no weaknesses.

If he must have a weakness, then it would be that he had no physical body.

That was the biggest weakness of the five-element celestial general.

Many cultivators focused on life essence or other areas, but none would deny the importance of the physical body.

Cultivation was like navigating a vast sea of bitterness, and your physique was the tiny boat that made it possible.

Without that tiny boat, survival was impossible. It was like seeking death.

Thinking of this, golden divine light immediately shone on Chen Fan, encasing him in golden armor, like an ancient god cast in gold.

Wielding his battle spear, he instantly became incomparably tall and charged toward the five-element celestial general like a raging storm.

The mighty five-element celestial general was the final obstacle preventing Chen Fan from advancing to the Manifestation realm.

Once he overcame it, he would officially step into the Manifestation realm.

If he lost, he would turn into ash.

If he could absorb the celestial general's energy, he might even push his Hegemonic Golden Body to level 25.

Rumble!

A terrifying collision rocked the space, and a ball of energy exploded outward.

Chen Fan could see that the five-element celestial general had crumbled slightly. Although it immediately recovered to its original state, he still felt overjoyed—he knew he was on the right track.

The general did not have a physical body, making him a mere puppet formed from energy.

So, since he couldn’t kill him, Chen Fan decided to scatter it using the most violent method.

As long as the power was great enough, even the laws could be broken, as greater energy meant greater potential to disrupt them.

Power itself was a law—ubiquitous and unstoppable.

Bang, bang, bang!

Boom, boom, boom!

Having found the breakthrough point, Chen Fan changed his approach. He no longer tried to outmaneuver the general and attack him from a blind spot. Instead, he engaged in direct, physical combat.

The Heaven Piercing Spear, capable of piercing the heavens, stabbed relentlessly. Each thrust had the force to kill a first or second-level Manifestation realm expert, sending chills down the nearby demonic cultivators’ spines.

How can there be such a terrifying monster in this world?

He had just advanced into the first-level Manifestation realm, so his cultivation had not yet stabilized. Yet, he could fight with a peak fourth-level Manifestation realm general, shocking onlookers so much that their eyeballs nearly burst.

Chen Fan paid no attention to their astonishment. His focus was entirely on his battle with the celestial general, aiming to gradually disperse its form.

Even though the general recovered very quickly after each collision, Chen Fan could sense that the recovery speed was gradually slowing down.

The heavenly tribulation was incomparably terrifying, but no matter how overwhelming, it could never erase the chance of survival.

As the ancient saying went, the Great Dao numbered fifty, yet the heavens claimed only forty-nine—always leaving one path open, a sliver of hope, a chance for survival.

Whether one could grasp it depended on their strength.

This was a battle of endurance.

Rumble!

After an indeterminate amount of time, Chen Fan finally penetrated the five-element celestial general with his spear, hanging it on his spear.

“Annihilate!” Chen Fan roared. Immense power thoroughly erupted at once, like a flood or a ferocious beast.

In an instant, the general burst apart, turning into a mass of pure energy.

This energy squirmed, attempting to recover and continue the fight, but Chen Fan didn’t allow it. The Heaven Seizing Furnace enveloped the energy, fiercely refining and absorbing it. A terrifying flow of energy surged within him.

As the five-element celestial general was defeated and disappeared, Chen Fan’s aura slowly stabilized bit by bit.

Boom, boom!

With a sound like a barrier breaking, a powerful aura erupted from Chen Fan, causing the nearby demonic cultivators to narrow their eyes.

However, the surge of his aura quickly calmed, retracting back into him.

Chen Fan clenched his fist. The corners of his lips drew back into a faint smile.

He had succeeded.

He had overcome his tribulation.

This heavenly tribulation was the most difficult he had faced, and it had taken the longest, but it had also granted him immense benefits.

Let alone his martial cultivation, just his Hegemonic Golden Body had broken through from level 20 to level 25, leaping several steps forward. Power surged within him like a torrent.

With this physical improvement, Chen Fan’s Martial Soul had also been tempered, growing stronger and more attuned to heaven and earth. He could now see five streaks of law.

The five laws were laid bare before him.

It could be said that the manifestation tribulation had catalyzed a full metamorphosis in him.

“He actually succeeded in overcoming his tribulation, this is incredible!”

“What immense strength. Now that his cultivation has stabilized, and his physique seems to have become even stronger, could it be that he can fight against a fifth-level Manifestation realm expert?”

“Hmph, who cares how strong he is? This is the Myriad Demon Islands, the demonic mountain. The heavenly tribulation can’t kill him, but we can. This damned guy dares to desecrate the demonic mountain; he deserves to die!”

“That’s right, he deserves a thousand deaths!”

“Attack, kill him!”

Those demonic cultivators’ gazes which were overflowing with killing intent fell on Chen Fan at once.

He immediately sensed an incomparably grave sense of danger. This feeling of danger was even more intense than when he faced his last tribulation.

“A person from the Tianwu Continent dares to come to the demonic mountain summit to cause trouble and desecrate the glory of the Lord of Myriad Demons. You deserve to die ten thousand times!”

A sixth-level Manifestation realm expert stepped forward, emitting an incomparably terrifying aura, like a towering wave. He directly swept towards Chen Fan, releasing icy killing intent.

Chen Fan’s gaze shone. Right at this moment, a voice came, “Audacious!”

The crowd paused, their movements freezing.

“Don’t forget your statuses. You people have only reached the summit of the demonic mountain and are still not qualified to become a disciple of the demonic mountain, let alone lay a hand on someone who has been guided to the peak of the Demonic Mountain,” the voice continued, cold and tyrannical.

“But he’s from the Tianwu Continent!” one expert argued, unconvinced.

“Since he reached the summit, he’s passed the test of the Lord of Myriad Demons. The Lord of Myriad Demons naturally has his own reason to have guided him here. Since when do you have the right to act against him?” the voice retorted.

Afterward, a middle-aged figure walked out from a demonic door, his gaze icy, sweeping toward the numerous experts.

That person looked at Chen Fan and said, “You, come with me.”

Chen Fan nodded and followed that person, walking through that demonic door.
