Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 481 - Seizing by Force

“What is that?”

“What’s happening? The sky suddenly turned dark.”

“Is someone from the demonic path attacking our sect?”

“Impossible! Who from the demonic path would dare to attack a major sect like us? And even if they did, wouldn’t they target the weaker mountain peaks at the fringe? We’re living at the cultivation peak of our alliance leader, Jingtian Peak, protected by the Nine Halls Golden Pagoda.”

“Not good, someone is trying to take the Nine Halls Golden Pagoda above Jingtian Peak! Who exactly is it, how dare they! Quickly go call Senior Brother Xie Feng and Senior Brother Wan Luo.”

Many Heaven’s Alliance members were cultivating on Jingtian Peak, as the area was filled with rich primeval qi of heaven and earth.

Ordinary inner sect disciples couldn’t enter the Heavenly Vein Mountains, but alliance members could, as they had Duan Jingtian’s protection. This was another reason why so many willingly worked for him.

As Chen Fan channeled his cultivation to forcibly grab the Nine Halls Golden Pagoda, many experts on Jingtian Peak soared into the sky, thinking demonic forces were attacking their sect.

As they ascended, they saw Chen Fan standing in the distance, his clothes billowing in the wind, looking like an ancient god gazing down at them.

His qi had transformed into a large hand with three fingers. Each finger emitted a powerful suction force, trying to pull the Nine Halls Golden Pagoda.

Duan Jingtian had painstakingly refined each of those nine golden pagodas.

Apart from guarding Jingtian Peak, it also pulled in the surrounding primeval qi of heaven and earth to this mountain peak, creating a holy land for cultivation.

The Nine Halls Golden Pagoda, placed on Jingtian Peak, was integrated with the peak’s advantageous geographical position. Trying to forcibly remove the golden pagodas was nearly impossible unless one could shift tectonic plates.

However, Chen Fan didn’t care, as he could easily uproot a mountain and rip the earth apart.

The depth of his qi and the immensity of his strength had simply reached an unimaginable level after his recent advancement. Under the Divine Nascent realm, he was one of the strongest cultivators.

The Nine Halls Golden Pagoda was a Grade-4 exceptional quality treasure—a rare and highly coveted defensive artifact. Even Divine Nascent realm powerhouses considered it valuable. Naturally, Chen Fan wouldn’t let it go.

During his trial at the Dragon Mountain Blessed Land, Duan Jingtian had abused his position of power and took Chen Fan’s Ice Jade Snow Lotus. He intended to take Duan Jingtian’s Nine Halls Golden Pagoda as payback.

As Chen Fan grabbed at it, his energy erupted. The entire Jingtian Peak shook as if doomsday had arrived. The mountain shook violently, about to collapse.

“Chen Fan, what are you doing?”

“What audacity, Chen Fan! You dare take Senior Brother Duan Jingtian’s Nine Halls Golden Pagoda! Have you no regard for the laws?!”

Whoosh, whoosh.

Two figures rushed out from Jingtian Peak—Xie Feng and Wan Luo. They were infuriated by Chen Fan’s attempt to take the Nine Halls Golden Pagoda.

“Chen Fan, what you’re doing is provoking us, violating the sect rules, and venting your anger! Do you want the elders to punish you? How dare you damage Senior Brother Duan Jingtian’s cultivation peak!”

With a twirl of his hands, more than ten flying swords appeared around Xie Feng’s hands. Each flying sword was filled with a green light and was at the level of a Grade-3 treasure.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Clapping his hands, Xie Feng sent those flying swords toward Chen Fan, trying to riddle him.

“A pearl as small as a grain of rice dares to show its tiny brilliance?” [1]

With a quick grab, Chen Fan caught Xie Feng’s flying swords. A casual rub severed their connection to Xie Feng, and Chen Fan added them to his own collection.

“You...” Xie Feng nearly vomited blood in frustration seeing Chen Fan stealing the flying swords he had bitterly refined. His eyes were wide with rage, feeling the urge to rush up and fight him to the death.

Meanwhile, Wan Luo was so scared that he quickly put his treasures away, not daring to use them.

“No need to make such a fuss. Duan Jingtian abused his strength and status to steal my Ice Jade Snow Lotus. Today, I am just returning the favor.

“You’ve abandoned your dignity as martial artists to become Duan Jingtian’s lapdogs. Get lost! You small fries are not worthy to meddle in the affairs between me and Duan Jingtian.”

Chen Fan shot a glance at Xie Feng and Wan Luo in disdain before striking with his palm again.

It seemed the heavens were shaking in anger. Xie Feng and Wan Luo felt like they had been struck by lightning, and they spewed out fresh blood, falling like birds with broken wings.

Below, some executives of the Heaven’s Alliance revealed looks of despair when they saw Xie Feng and Wan Luo plummeting. They roared furiously, “Quick, channel your cultivation and activate the Nine Halls Golden Pagoda. We mustn’t let this beast take it away!”

Since their establishment, the Heaven’s Alliance had never faced such humiliation—someone coming to their doorstep to seize the Nine Halls Golden Pagoda by force was a blatant insult.

Immediately, the Heaven’s Alliance members on Jingtian Peak channeled their cultivation and injected it into the Nine Halls Golden Pagoda.

“You small fries want to stop me? You truly don’t know your place!” Chen Fan smiled coldly, channeling more of his cultivation. He gripped the nine golden pagodas and lifted them violently, causing the air to crackle.

“Quick, inform Elder Liehuo, Merit Elder, and the others!” roared someone furiously. Someone else quickly sent a communication jade talisman flying out of Jingtian Peak.

Chen Fan didn’t try to stop them. He continued exerting his immense power to seize the Nine Halls Golden Pagoda.

“Chen Fan, Senior Brother Duan Jingtian will be out very soon. You’re dead, you’re so dead!” Xie Feng and Wan Luo roared desperately.

Chen Fan sneered coldly, “I’m actually worried that he would go into hiding. No need to yell here; it’s useless. No one can stop me from taking the Nine Halls Golden Pagoda!”

Suddenly, two furious roars rang out like thunder.

“Insolence!”

“How dare you!”

The entire space suddenly changed. A fiery palm seal that covered the skies descended, blasting toward Chen Fan.

“Hmph!” Chen Fan’s gaze turned cold, and he snorted. He grabbed with both hands, pulling out the nine golden pagodas from Jingtian Peak. They flew toward his hands.

As soon as the treasure left Jingtian Peak, a third of the mountain sank into the ground. It was now considerably shorter than the other peaks.

Chen Fan had used his cultivation to push down the mountain into the ground.

Crackle, rattle!

Countless buildings collapsed into ruins, stripping the peak of its former majesty. It seemed like it had been raided by bandits.

1. An interesting saying that usually means something positive, like even something small can shine brightly. In this context, it’s used disparagingly since a weakling is trying to stand up to an expert, overestimating their own capability. ☜
