Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1460 - Striking Fear into the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm

As news of what happened in the Heaven Interception Great Emperor’s tomb spread, Chen Fan became an enemy of the masses. He had taken all the spoils for himself, while countless others had poured their strength into exploring the tomb, only to emerge empty-handed with heavy losses to show for it. Naturally, resentment festered.

Before long, the entire Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm descended into madness. A ​​frenzy to hunt down Chen Fan and seize both the legacy as well as the Wheel of Myriad Laws.

Although he had gained fame from the rumor about inheriting some Immortal Emperor’s legacy, drawing the pursuit of many half-immortal experts, there had also been skeptics who recognized that story as nothing more than a fabrication born of jealousy and hidden motives.

But this time was different. This time, countless people had witnessed it with their own eyes.

Whether or not Chen Fan had truly obtained Heaven Interception Great Emperor’s legacy didn’t even matter anymore; the Wheel of Myriad Laws alone was enough to drive the people crazy.

Thus, cultivators across the entire Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm took action, each determined to find Chen Fan and seize everything he had obtained within the ancient tomb.

After all, this was the legacy of a quasi-Sage powerhouse and the artifact he had used. The Wheel of Myriad Laws might even be a Sage artifact, worthy of becoming the most prized treasure of any immortal holy land.

There was no one who could resist its allure. Greed clouded reason; even those who had yet to reach the half-immortal realm joined the search, blinded by desire.

As time passed and more survivors emerged from the ancient tomb, the truth of what had happened inside spread further still. Chen Fan’s name, alongside the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, shook the entire Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm like thunder, blazing across it like a shooting star.

Within the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm, prodigies and experts were everywhere. So the deaths of a few half-Immortal realm experts wouldn’t set off any ripples; now, Chen Fan had set off a storm in the ancient realm.

“What happened in the ancient tomb is too tragic. Countless half-Immortals perished at the hands of those law creatures. Even seventh and eighth-stage half-Immortals weren’t spared. Less than a third of the people who went in survived.”

“Yeah,” another added, voice heavy. “Who would’ve thought the tomb’s appearance was actually a sinister trap? Those law creatures planned to use the fresh blood of countless half-immortals as a sacrifice to awaken the Wheel of Myriad Laws.”

“I also heard that their leader is an Immortal Platform realm expert. Even when all the top-tier ninth-stage half-Immortal experts like Ji Lanshan joined hands, they were no match for him. Ultimately, they had to trick him into revealing his true power, which got him expelled from the ancient realm entirely.”

“That’s right. If not for that, I doubt anyone would’ve come out alive.”

“But Chen Fan got all the benefits. I heard that the members of Twin Prides Alliance and the Evil Palace are furious.”

“That really is unexpected. A mere peak Void Immortal... Yet, he’s not much weaker than people like Ji Lanshan. No wonder he’s managed to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth.”

“But now, he’s everyone’s enemy. Everyone is determined to find him, even if they have to dig three feet into the earth. However, three months have already passed, and there’s still no news of him. If you ask me, he must’ve seen this coming and fled the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm the moment he escaped the tomb.”

Time passed quickly, and half a year had gone by.

Yet the search for Chen Fan raged on with undiminished fervor. There was still no word of him. Only speculation. Many people even thought that he had already left the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm. After all, anyone who had seized so many treasures and opportunities would naturally become the target of the world’s envy; in his place, the wisest choice would be the same—leave, and disappear from everyone’s sight.

Of course, even more people refused to believe that Chen Fan had already left. They searched for him frantically, truly determined to turn the entire Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm upside down to do so.

Aside from this, many people went into the Heaven Interception Great Emperor’s tomb in search of fortune. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Although the most precious treasures and opportunities within had been claimed, the Heaven Interception Great Emperor’s tomb was simply too vast. Surely, somewhere deep within its endless halls, something must have been overlooked; perhaps a fragment of divine inheritance still awaited discovery.

Furthermore, the experts among the law creatures in the ancient tomb had already been wiped out. The minions left within posed little to no threat. As a result, the Heaven Interception Great Emperor’s tomb became the most bustling place in the entire ancient realm.

Time flowed quietly, a year passing in the blink of an eye.

One year had passed, yet Chen Fan didn’t show up anywhere, and the people also didn’t find any trace of him. So, the people had gradually accepted the fact that he had already left the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm.

But just when the world began to forget him—when the waves of time had finally stilled—a single spark shattered the calm.

“He’s appeared, Chen Fan has reappeared!”

“Chen Fan has shown himself!”

“Chen Fan didn’t leave the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm! He’s reappeared!”

All of a sudden, the ancient realm, which had gone quiet, boiled over in an instant because of Chen Fan’s reappearance.

Countless people sprang into action at the news.

“My god, I received news that several top forces, like the Nine Heavens Alliance, joined hands and ambushed Chen Fan in the northwestern sea of forest. They had about a dozen eighth-stage half-immortals, twenty to thirty seventh-stage half-immortals, and more than two hundred cultivators of lower ranks. Even when facing such a powerful lineup, Chen Fan easily massacred them. The entire sea of forest was dyed red with blood!”

“That’s nothing. Su Hao, a genuine ninth-stage half-Immortal ranked eighth on the leaderboard, had made a move. But Chen Fan beat him so badly that he vomited blood within ten moves and fled in panic. If not for a secret escape art he cultivated, Su Hao would’ve been killed on the spot.”

“He hasn’t shown himself in a year. Most likely, he’s been in seclusion, refining the Wheel of Myriad Laws and digesting the Heaven Interception Great Emperor’s legacy. I’m afraid he’s even stronger now. Perhaps he’s already reached the level of Ji Lanshan and the others. It’s no wonder ordinary ninth-stage half-Immortals can’t match him. Su Hao’s defeat makes perfect sense.”

Rumors about Chen Fan’s exploits spread rapidly, leaving everyone stunned.

One after another, powerful figures tried to intercept and kill him for his treasures and inheritance, but they either returned in defeat or perished miserably. Tales of Chen Fan’s terrifying strength shook the entire ancient realm, silencing those who had been tempted but lacked the strength to act.

Chen Fan stood with his hand behind his back atop a mountain peak. Four ninth-stage half-Immortal experts floated in the void, surrounding him from all directions.
