Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1430 - Sudden Attack

Xiao Ruyue stepped forward and welcomed Chen Fan.

“Welcome to our Xiao Sect.”

Chen Fan had already used the Heavenly Falcon Alliance to prove his strength. Although he was only a peak Void Immortal level, no one here would dare to treat him as such.

Even Fan Tianying, a peak eighth-stage half-immortal, took a beating from Chen Fan and was nearly crippled. Treating him like an ordinary peak Void Immortal would have been nothing short of a joke.

The Xiao Sect was ranked last among the Five Absolutes. Now, with Chen Fan joining them, their overall strength had received a tremendous boost.

Li Yu also stepped forward and gave Chen Fan a friendly nod.

“Welcome. I am Li Yu.”

Evidently, Chen Fan’s performance earlier had earned him Li Yu’s recognition, even respect. Although Li Yu was an extremely proud person, believing himself to be no weaker than Fan Tianying, he had to admit that Chen Fan could also crush him in a fight.

He recalled the time when he first encountered Chen Fan. Chen Fan had just entered the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm; ignorant, inexperienced, and fresh from the Lower Eleven Heavens. Both he and Xiao Ruyue had looked down on him with thinly veiled contempt.

Who could have thought that in less than two years, Chen Fan would rise step by step, carving his name across the ancient realm?

Now, he even used Fan Tianying as a stepping stone to soar and become a top figure in the ancient realm. It truly felt like a dream.

Who would have thought that the boy they once dismissed would not only catch up but surpass them so completely? Even an Immortal Emperor’s legacy alone could not have forged such a feat.

“Xia Yan.”

“Yan Zhen.”

The other two eighth-stage half-immortals of the Xiao Sect also greeted Chen Fan.

Both of them were on the Immortal Conferral Leaderboard. Although they were not as powerful as Li Yu, they had respectable strength.

Xia Yan had a slightly well-built figure; his presence radiated heat, like a living furnace. It was as if magma churned within him; once erupted, it would surely shock heaven and earth.

Yan Zhen was rather slim, his eyes slightly sunken. A cold, serpentine aura surrounded him. He gave the impression of a venomous snake lurking in the dark, silent and deadly, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Among the Five Absolutes, the God Killer Palace was the strongest, with five eighth-stage half-immorts. As for the Celestial Maiden Alliance, Evil Palace, and Twin Prides Alliance, they each had four of them, and only the Xiao Sect had three.

Now, however, Chen Fan’s arrival had filled that gap.

“Chen Fan.” Chen Fan returned a nod to Li Yu and the others.

“Hahahaha! You have really made me see you in a whole new light! When the Alliance Leader and I first saw you, you had just entered the ancient realm. And in our next meeting, you will be this strong. Who could’ve thought that? Who could’ve imagined that by the time we met again, you’d already become this powerful? With you joining the Xiao Sect, we can feel much more confident about our trip to the ancient emperor’s tomb.”

Li Yu’s personality was much like his attire: bold, direct, and unpretentious.

“Mhm.” Chen Fan nodded.

Although the legacy in the ancient emperor’s tomb was very tempting, Chen Fan was aware of his own limits. It would be very difficult for him to seize it; his chances were slim to none.

After all, there were five ninth-stage half-immortal realms present, not including those hiding in the dark. And they all wanted the legacy.

Suddenly, waves of rumbling noises came from the ground.

Then, a huge crack formed on the ground as if it was ripped apart by an enormous hand, cracking little by little as a terrifying aura came forth.

The ancient emperor’s tomb had opened!

The crowd rushed into that crack almost instantly. Even the hidden loners who’d been waiting in silence emerged at lightning speed, rushing in one after another.

Everyone moved with blinding speed, surging toward the crack and unleashing their own techniques. Each was at least at the Void Immortal level; most were half-immortal realm experts. When they sprang into motion, they looked like blurs.

Swish, swish, swish.

The crowd arrived at the edge of the crack almost instantly.

“Quick, enter!”

Xiao Ruyue’s voice rang out.

“Alright.”

Chen Fan and the others nodded sharply and plunged into the churning abyss.

Rumble!

Rumble!

The instant Chen Fan entered, before he could even steady himself, a series of deafening explosions erupted ahead.

The restrictions blocking the crowd vanished instantly. Leading the charge was none other than Ji Lanshan. His massive hand expanded to the size of a mountain and came crashing down. Every barrier before it turned to dust on impact.

“So strong, as expected of the number one on the Immortal Conferral Leaderboard. The might of his Flying Cloud Hand is too terrifying.”

Gasps rippled through the crowd.

Behind Ji Lanshan were people like Xie Qingjin, Leng Rushuang, and the others. Their momentum tore through countless restrictions as they vanished from sight, leaving the rest in their wake.

Xiao Ruyue also made her move with astonishing momentum, sweeping through the battlefield with crushing power; every restriction that touched her aura collapsed instantly.

Seeing the leaders of the Five Absolutes entering first, the crowd quickly grew impatient.

Everyone knew that the first to enter would reap the greatest rewards. Those who came late might find nothing but scraps left.

The crowd quickly gave chase. Chen Fan also followed closely behind.

Although he wanted to chase after them, people like Ji Lanshan were too fast. In just the blink of an eye, they had already vanished from sight.

Suddenly, an icy, thunderous boom rang in Chen Fan’s ear.

“Die!”

All his hair stood on end as an extremely dangerous feeling washed over him.

Rumble!

A deafening boom resounded as a terrifying, oppressive force swept toward him.

Chen Fan quickly realized that a ninth-stage half-immortal was attacking him.

“Break!”

Chen Fan didn’t have any time to think. He turned around in a hurry and unleashed a saber slash. A flaming saber tore through space and collided with the oncoming large hand in the air.

With a loud rumble, the flaming saber instantly shattered, turning into countless sparks that flew out in all directions. However, the great force behind the strike still struck Chen Fan and sent him flying out as he spewed blood along the way.

Finally, Chen Fan saw his attacker. It was a man in blue clothing.
