Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1447 - Forced to Self-Detonate

Chu Yun let out a furious roar. It had been a very long time since he suffered such a huge loss and sustained such heavy injuries.

“Roar!”

Chen Fan stepped forward, giving chase. Dazzling golden light radiated from him like a tiny sun. His voice was cold, filled with killing intent.

“No matter how fiercely you roar, even the heavens can’t save you today!”

Chu Yun’s eyes turned bloodshot. Law power erupted fiercely from him, condensing into a dragon’s claw that lunged toward Chen Fan.

However, Chen Fan caught the claw and tore it apart, neutralizing Chu Yun’s attack cleanly.

“It’s useless. No matter how hard you struggle, it’s futile.”

His fist force ripped through the atmosphere like thunder and struck Chu Yun once again. At this point, Chu Yun was completely overpowered.

Rumble!

The void collapsed on the spot, cracking like a shattered mirror and spreading in all directions.

Chu Yun spewed fresh blood furiously. Under Chen Fan’s relentless iron fists, it seemed as if he might crumble into fragments like a porcelain doll. His eyes were wide with disbelief as he roared again and again.

“Impossible! Impossible! How can this be! How could you possibly be this strong! It’s impossible for you to be this powerful!”

His mind reeled. Everything he believed had been turned upside down; their roles should have been reversed.

“What’s impossible about this? You just have too narrow a worldview and are ignorant.” Chen Fan sneered coldly, not caring at all, and swung his palm forward.

His palm expanded into a colossal seal that blotted out the sky, annihilating everything in its path. Nothing could stop it.

Chu Yun fled desperately, but it was futile.

“Damn it, how could you be this powerful!”

Finally, Chu Yun realized that he was no match for Chen Fan. Even fleeing became extremely difficult.

Seeing Chu Yun try to flee, Chen Fan stepped forward and shot forth like an arrow, unleashing a punch.

“Go to hell!”

Chu Yun finally went crazy.

“Damn it, don’t be so full of yourself. Even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me. You can forget about getting anything, hahahaha!”

Chen Fan had driven him to the brink. Chu Yun didn’t care anymore. Endless law power began gathering inside him and exploded all of a sudden, sweeping outward.

“Not good!” Chen Fan roared.

Chu Yun charged right into the river of immortal stones and exploded.

The self-detonation of a ninth-stage half-immortal realm expert was terrifying beyond measure. The impact obliterated everything in its path.

Countless immortal stones instantly vaporized, and the explosion triggered a catastrophic chain reaction. One after another, the immortal stones detonated, forming a massive shockwave that tore through the entire passageway. Ancient formations shattered like glass, disintegrating as waves of destruction rippled outward.

Chen Fan instantly sensed that the passageway was about to collapse.

Chu Yun’s self-detonation not only prevented him from seizing the priceless immortal stones but also threatened to drag both him and Li Yu into the abyss.

“Quickly run!” Chen Fan’s expression changed drastically, and he roared furiously. He grabbed a handful of immortal stones from the river, swept Li Yu up, and charged toward the tomb.

A deafening explosion followed.

Boom!

The shockwave hit Chen Fan head-on, sending him flying through the air. He crashed into a nearby passageway, shattering several formations on impact. The crushing force pressed down on him, making his chest tighten painfully.

Despite the toughness of his Hegemonic Golden Body, he received an internal injury from this. The self-detonation of a ninth-stage half-immortal realm expert was indeed terrifyingly powerful.

However, this little internal injury was nothing to Chen Fan. He could fully recover from his condition after a short recuperation.

What truly frustrated him was the loss of the river of immortal stones.

At a conservative estimation, there were at least ten million immortal stones in that river. Had he claimed them all, he would have become wealthy beyond imagination, enough to secure his cultivation for many years to come.

He had no foundation in the Heavenly Realm and had to fight for everything he needed. But now, that golden mountain had been reduced to nothingness before his eyes. The ache in his heart was far deeper than any physical wound.

Although cultivation couldn’t be reduced to the mere accumulation of immortal stones, in reality, one’s cultivation speed was closely tied to how many of them one possessed.

The more immortal stones one had, the faster one could cultivate, without ever worrying about running short of resources at crucial stages.

“Damn it!”

Chen Fan felt incredibly frustrated.

There were over ten million immortal stones, but he only managed to grab about a hundred thousand of them. Under normal circumstances, such a haul would have thrilled him. But after witnessing tens of millions of stones right before his eyes—and walking away with only a fraction—the sense of loss made him feel like coughing up blood.

Worse still, if his guess was correct, not every passageway contained immortal stones. That meant he had likely missed his only chance to become rich overnight.

But now, it was useless to brood about it. It was impossible to get it back. Furthermore, the army of law creatures was closing in and probably occupied the entrance. It was unrealistic to go back.

Chen Fan had no other choice but to move forward. Moreover, he didn’t wish to give up on the Immortal Emperor’s legacy either. He now had the qualifications to compete for it.

Suddenly, a groan of pain pulled him back to reality.

“Ouch.”

It was Li Yu.

Although Chen Fan had swept him away at the last instant and saved him from a devastating blow, even Chen Fan had sustained internal injury from the explosion. Li Yu, without Chen Fan’s monstrous physique, had clearly suffered worse.

Of course, Li Yu also felt the pain of losing over ten million immortal stones all of a sudden.

If Chen Fan had obtained them, he would have certainly shared a small portion with Li Yu.

But now, everything was lost to Chu Yun’s self-detonation. In the end, it had all been for nothing.

“Let’s go, we have no time to waste. I’m afraid we’re already lagging behind the others,” said Chen Fan.

The river of immortal stones was gone; there was no point in dwelling on it. What mattered now was entering the tomb and competing for the Immortal Emperor’s legacy.

With a swish, Chen Fan shot forth at lightning speed.

Large amounts of immortal stones ignited inside him, replenishing his energy.

Although he had driven Chu Yun to self-detonate at the end of their battle, Chen Fan had depleted much of his energy from the intense clash, especially after using the power of martial Dao manifestation.

Had it not been for his solid foundation, anyone else, even one who had grasped the power of Martial Dao Manifestation, would likely have fallen before Chu Yun.

Ahead was the most central region of the tomb. Chen Fan had to recover his strength to its peak, not only to vie for the Immortal Emperor’s legacy, but also to face whatever dangers might be waiting in the shadows.
