Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 581 - Battle Intensifies

“Chen Fan sure is amazing. Despite being besieged by Ye Cangxuan and Yin Jiu, he is unfazed!” Li Yao observed the fierce battle between the two parties from a distance, his gaze slightly narrowed.

During the battle at the Dao Palace, Chen Fan displayed godly might, defeating numerous elite members of the Battle Heaven Alliance and their two vice alliance leaders.

Li Yao had already taken notice of him then.

After a month, Chen Fan’s strength had skyrocketed again. He had shocked everyone by fighting toe-to-toe with two exceptional geniuses alone.

Li Yao regarded Chen Fan as a peer, seeing him as a rival of equal stature.

The Great Chu Empire, one of the thirty-six nations in the Hong Domain, was considered to be in the lower-middle tier, around twenty-fifth place.

For such a “weak nation” to produce a genius like Chen Fan, who rivaled him, the prince of the Great Li Imperial Court, was beyond belief.

Li Yao's father, Emperor Li, was the top figure in the Hong Domain and a Heavenly Star realm powerhouse. Li Yao had access to the best cultivation resources from a young age. Becoming the number one genius of the younger generation in the Hong Domain was only proper and to be expected.

Yet, the rise of Chen Fan was putting significant pressure on him.

Compared to him, the cultivation resources Chen Fan had access to were nothing. Chen Fan’s rapid progress suggested that, as the hundred-day trial neared its end, he might now be on par with Li Yao.

Such rapid improvement made even him, the prince of the Great Li Imperial Court, feel shocked and disbelief.

“Come to your death!” After attacking for a long time without success, Ye Cangxuan exploded with anger.

For Ye Cangxuan and Yin Jiu to team up against Chen Fan in front of so many witnesses was already a blow to their pride. If they couldn’t bring him down even after that, then they would become a complete joke.

A terrifying aura erupted from him.

A crushing force surged toward Chen Fan like a monstrous wave, aiming to obliterate his fighting spirit.

Ye Cangxuan thrust his trident with the ferocity of a sea god's ultimate attack, an attack no one could escape.

Layers of sea waves rolled up in the space, relentlessly pressing toward Chen Fan. Meanwhile, Yin Jiu synchronized his attack, bringing down his massive ax to ensure Chen Fan couldn’t defend against both fronts.

The assault was nearly impossible to block, like a flood dragon rising and falling in the waves, an exceptionally frightening sight.

Chen Fan’s eyes flashed with intense killing intent, fueling his resolve to take down both opponents.

If Ye Cangxuan’s trident was like the sea waves, Chen Fan’s Purgatory Divine Halberd would be the force breaking those waves. As Ye Cangxuan’s endless strength swept over, Chen Fan only slashed down with his halberd.

Chen Fan’s Myriad Elephants Divine Art revealed its terrifying combat strength. His strength boiled and exploded as if an ancient giant god had awakened. Every cell in his body radiated immense strength.

He was like an ancient giant god, unruffled and as solid as the strongest rock. He was like the sturdiest of rocks in the sea. No matter how turbulent the waves were, they couldn’t shake him in the slightest.

“He really is fighting two supreme experts alone!”

“They’ve already exchanged dozens, maybe even over a hundred moves, but Chen Fan still hasn’t lost any ground. He’s a little too terrifying, isn’t he!”

“If this fight continues like this, Chen Fan might really become famous because of it.”

“It’s still too early to make any conclusions!” Watching from the side, Li Yao said indifferently, “This battle has only just begun. It hasn’t reached the point of life or death yet. What comes next is the real battle.”

“It truly is unexpected that a small nation like the Great Chu Empire has produced such a terrifying heavenly genius. Hoho, it seems that after the battle three thousand years ago had caused the Hong Domain to become weak, it is now showing signs of revival.” A voice rang out at this time. It turned out to be Xuanyuan Po.

Qiu Yuexin, Gongsun Zhong, and the others have also come.

They had heard about the battle and were eager to witness it. Though they arrived a bit late, they had come just in time for the climax.

“Signs of the Hong Domain’s revival, huh...” Qiu Yuexin’s eyes, full of beauty and intensity, were fixed on the fierce combat. “The hundred-year period is almost up. The Sacred Road is about to open. I wonder how many geniuses from our Hong Domain will enter the True Martial Academy this time?”

Her words made the eyes of Li Yao, Xuanyuan Po, Gongsun Zhong, and the others narrow sharply, their gazes gleaming with intense anticipation.

“I’d almost forgotten about that. True Martial Academy... The holy land of the eastern continent martial artists, a gathering of talents. Being accepted there means a bright future in martial arts,” Xuanyuan Po remarked.

Gongsun Zhong shifted his gaze onto Li Yao and said, “Li Yao, I recall Emperor Li passed the Sacred Road’s test back then and entered the True Martial Academy. He then returned to the Hong Domain and was confirmed to have reached the Heavenly Star realm, right?”

Li Yao nodded, “That’s right! I once heard my Imperial Father say that the True Martial Academy is the true holy land. Only the prides of heaven are allowed to enter. People like us are a dime a dozen there and don’t count for much.”

Qiu Yuexin and the others fell silent.

They could be called top geniuses in the Hong Domain, but looking across the entire eastern continent, they were nothing.

The eastern continent was divided into 108 domains, and although the Hong Domain was once powerful, it had weakened significantly due to the blood calamity. Even after three thousand years, it had not fully recovered.

They could reign supreme in the Hong Domain, but when looking across the entire eastern continent, they would be like cats.

They understood this well.

Just as Li Yao and the others were talking, the battle between Chen Fan, Ye Cangxuan, and Yin Jiu intensified.

Chen Fan had pushed back Ye Cangxuan and Yin Jiu in front of so many people. They were greatly humiliated and furious.

If this goes on, their prestige would be thoroughly discredited.

“You abominable bastard, you do have some strength in you, but it’s time for this battle to end! Your fate was sealed the moment you walked in here. No matter how hard you struggle, your death is certain. No one will be able to save you!” Yin Jiu said coldly, overflowing with killing intent.

Chen Fan curled his lips and ridiculed, “If words could kill, then who needs strength?”

As soon as his words ended, Chen Fan swung his Purgatory Divine Halberd with incredible speed.

Clang!

Rumble!

A devastating force erupted like a volcanic blast, crashing into Yin Jiu’s large ax and jolting him violently. He felt a sharp pain in his hands as the webbing between his fingers tore open.

Just as he wanted to counterattack, Chen Fan chopped down repeatedly at this time.

Every attack was wrapped in unparalleled might, powerful and heavy. A strength that could shatter the stars descended.
