Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 589 - Radical Changes on the Hidden Dragon Island

Rumble!

Chen Fan shook, and the surrounding space quaked violently. He punched the air, producing a deafening roar that seemed to tear through space.

As he walked, it seemed like an ancient dragon-elephant was trampling the ground, making the earth tremble and rumble.

The entire oasis felt as if it were experiencing an earthquake. Buildings rattled noisily, and dust cascaded from the beams.

“What’s going on?”

“What happened?”

“Is it an earthquake?”

Several figures rushed outside, their faces filled with alarm and panic.

“Don’t panic!” Xiao Zhen had also rushed out. Sensing the disturbance, he quickly focused on Chen Fan’s residence. The intense aura immediately caught his attention; it felt as though an ancient, ferocious beast had awoken.

“That’s an overwhelming, oppressive aura. Chen Fan?”

Others also felt the terrifying energy emanating from Chen Fan’s house. Their faces paled with horror. The presence felt like an ancient beast had awakened from its slumber, making them tremble with dread.

Xiao Zhen’s eyes flickered, and he shouted, “It’s fine. That’s just Brother Chen practicing. No need to panic, everyone. Just go back to your tasks.”

“Phew, that guy really doesn’t spare people from worries. I thought some powerful demon beast had come to attack.”

“I know, right? The entire oasis was trembling—it felt like an earthquake or an army marching. Turns out it was just Chen Fan practicing his cultivation technique. I wonder what kind of cultivation technique he’s using to create such a commotion.”

“It should be a heaven-tier cultivation technique, at the very least. Don’t forget that he obtained a page of the ancient scripture. There’s probably some top-tier martial art on it. What we saw might be the result of him practicing that.”

“Looks like Li Yao’s advancement into the Divine Nascent realm has stimulated him greatly. If Chen Fan has made progress, his strength must be even more formidable. Do you think he has also reached the Divine Nascent realm?”

“How is that possible? The Divine Nascent realm is a whole different level from the Core Formation realm. Even if he’s improved significantly, he’s probably still only able to dominate those below the Divine Nascent realm. I doubt he’s at a level where he can compete with a Divine Nascent realm powerhouse.”

“Even so, that’s impressive compared to us. We’re only in the three-revolution Golden Core realm. While that’s not weak, we’re like ants compared to him.”

“......”

Many people looked at Chen Fan’s house, their gazes filled with awe and envy.

Who even knew him before setting foot on the island?

However, after Chen Fan retrieved a Martial Dao Will fragment, he became famous overnight on the Hidden Dragon Island.

Afterward, he cut down Nie Tao and Yun Tao.

Half a month ago, he challenged the Battle Heaven Alliance alone, taking on both Ye Cangxuan and Yin Jiu, both eight-revolution Golden Core realm peerless experts. He killed them both, thoroughly shaking the Hidden Dragon Island.

In less than a hundred days, Chen Fan went from an unknown minor character to becoming a super expert, comparable to top geniuses like Li Yao, Qiu Yuexin, and others.

This meteoric rise was enough to make even the proudest geniuses envious and grudgingly impressed. Not everyone could achieve what Chen Fan had.

“There’s still five days left. I’m planning to explore the ghost mountain. I heard there’s already quite a lot of people there. Maybe I can find some profit. Is anyone interested in joining me?” someone asked.

“I’ll go with you.”

“I’m going too.”

Many people responded positively. Even Xiao Zhen was planning to make a trip to the ghost mountain.

When he had first met Chen Fan, the latter’s cultivation was only at the peak of the ninth level, while he was a three-revolution Golden Core realm expert. Noticing Chen Fan’s extraordinary strength, he invited Chen Fan to retrieve the Earth Fire Heaven Lotus.

He was stronger than Chen Fan then. Now, however, Chen Fan’s cultivation had skyrocketed, and Xiao Zhen struggled to even catch a glimpse of his progress.

He was now a seven-revolution Golden Core realm supreme expert and had obtained the legacy of a Heavenly Star realm powerhouse. So, he could advance to the Heavenly Star realm in the future. However, compared to Chen Fan, this tiny bit of achievement was not worth mentioning at all.

A man with pride, he refused to be too far behind Chen Fan.

Despite the ghost mountain's ominous aura, it had once been the heart of Hidden Dragon Island. Even though it was now in ruins, there were surely still valuable discoveries to be made.

Calling out to the others, Xiao Zhen said, “Wait up! I’m coming with you.”

Suddenly, a deafening noise erupted, shaking the very souls of those on Hidden Dragon Island.

Rumble!

Immediately afterward, loud furious roars from demonic beasts rang out from the depths of the Hidden Dragon Island.

These roars were unprecedented as if the powerful beasts had been startled into a furious outcry.

Xiao Zhen and the others froze and looked up in the ghost mountain’s direction.

There, the winds and clouds churned violently, creating a storm-like atmosphere. The eerie winds howled as if something incomparably terrifying had awakened.

Xiao Zhen and the others saw a mass of incomparably dark clouds and mists arising on the ghost mountain. Twisted faces could be seen in those clouds as if those were the souls of those who had died on the island.

The sight sent chills down their spines. It wasn’t just the oasis that was affected; everyone on Hidden Dragon Island witnessed this scene and was struck with shock and deep fear.

“What just happened?”

Below the ghost mountain, the Heaven’s Equal Alliance, Saber Sword Alliance, Goddess Alliance, and Myriad Truths Alliance had all gathered. Aside from the four super alliances, many smaller forces were also present.

After several days of scouting, they had finally reached the foot of the ghost mountain, ready to ascend, exorcise the malevolent spirits, and claim any opportunities and treasures. However, the alarming transformation on the mountain left them uncertain of their next move.

An uneasy feeling spread in the hearts of these people.

“I feel a very powerful evil aura. I’m afraid a calamity is about to descend.” Li Yao gazed at the ghost mountain, shrouded in thick ghost qi. It was as if his gaze pierced through the cover of the eerie ghost qi and saw the changes on the ghost mountain.

Rumble!

Just as Li Yao finished speaking, the ground shook as if an army of thousands was descending from the ghost mountain, intent on annihilating everyone in its path.
