Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1467 - Great Demon Guardians

“It’s actually the Brahma Ancient City. How truly unexpected. The legends were true.”

Xuan Yang and the others gazed at the majestic sky city, trembling with excitement.

“Look! Isn’t that guy on the ancient path Chen Fan!”

“Let’s go, we need to hurry over. We can’t let that little bastard get a head start!”

Xuan Yang, Xie Qingjin, and the others sped forward, heading toward the Brahma Ancient City.

They had gained nothing inside the Heaven Interception Great Emperor’s ancient tomb but had lost many of their experts. Unexpectedly, the heavens had shown them another route to compensate them.

That was the Brahma Ancient City. If they had to choose between the Heaven Interception Great Emperor’s ancient tomb and the Brahma Ancient City, they would choose the latter without any hesitation.

The Brahma Ancient City was bound to have more and better treasures than those found in the ancient tomb. It was a city of treasures the Great Sage Brahma had spent his entire fortune building. A quasi-Sage couldn’t compare to it.

Xuan Yang and the others went mad with excitement.

Chen Fan? Heaven Interception Great Emperor’s legacy? None of them was more important than Brahma Ancient City.

They were all prides of heaven with great statuses and powerful bloodlines; each could have advanced to the Immortal Platform realm long ago, yet had chosen to remain within the ancient realm. Like Chen Fan, they were determined to build an unshakable foundation, which required the divine object to cleanse and refine their immortal platforms.

They shared the same belief as Chen Fan: the divine object they sought was most likely hidden within Brahma Ancient City.

Swish, swish, swish.

They charged forth like a swarm of locusts, looking to charge into Brahma Ancient City. However, the pressure of the Great Dao descended upon them like an invisible hand, swatting them from the air.

“Damn it, there’s rule suppression in place. We can’t fly into the city directly!”

“It seems like we must pass through this ancient path to enter Brahma Ancient City. Makes sense. Great Sage Brahma commanded immense prestige; his domain cannot be defiled. We must approach with sincerity.”

“It seems like Chen Fan is struggling on the ancient road. Could there be some hidden principle behind it?”

“Who cares. We’ll find out after stepping on it ourselves.”

Their group directly stepped onto the ancient road, but their expressions changed immediately.

The pressure of the Great Dao on this ancient road was even stronger than the force that had pushed them down earlier. And from deep within the void came that ancient, echoing voice: Road of Calamity.

“This is the Road of Calamity. We can only advance by enduring the tribulation. This is a trial!”

“It’s no wonder Chen Fan is struggling to advance despite his terrifying strength.”

They quickly realized the truth. Yet, no one gave up. A mountain of gold and silver was right before their eyes, almost within reach.

However, reality was cruel.

How many people could be compared to Chen Fan?

Among the hundred-odd figures gathered there, only twenty or thirty managed to move forward beneath that crushing, destructive force. The rest could only retreat in frustration after a single attempt.

“As expected of an enlightened powerhouse. The destructive force of the Road of Calamity alone is already this terrifying. I feel like I am about to fall apart under this destructive force.”

Endless mysterious light radiated from Xuan Yang, shining dazzlingly. Yet despite his shining aura, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead as the boundless force of destruction pressed down upon him.

“This road is both a trial and an opportunity,” he murmured through gritted teeth. “If we can endure it, our physiques and bloodlines will surely benefit.”

Xie Qingjin wasn’t doing any better than Xuan Yang.

The emergence of the Brahma Ancient City attracted countless cultivators. No one was willing to miss this chance.

However, very few could set foot on the ancient road and embark on the arduous journey.

The Road of Calamity stopped countless people, and they could only watch the others struggling, feeling indignant inside.

Several days later, Chen Fan endured excruciating pain, but still tightly guarded his mind, refusing to let his will collapse. If his will scattered, the calamity power would surely kill him.

Many had already lost their lives on this ancient road, shaking the resolve of others.

This road was incomparably dangerous.

Moreover, it was only the entrance. To reach Brahma Ancient City, one had to conquer the entirety of the Road of Calamity.

Nine days later, Chen Fan finally reached the end.

The destructive force lifted. He felt utterly fatigued, even lightheaded. He closed his eyes and took several deep breaths, finally recovering after some time.

The Road of Calamity was far more brutal than he had imagined.

Then, as if to reward his perseverance, a radiant light descended upon the ancient path. Warmth flowed through his body as a restorative power surged within him, mending every wound and washing away all traces of fatigue.

After that miraculous power circulated several times through him, Chen Fan discovered that his Hegemonic Golden Body had advanced to level 51, becoming even stronger.

Nice! Chen Fan cheered inwardly.

He looked behind, and he saw Xuan Yang and Xie Qingjin’s groups. He also saw Xiao Ruyue, Ji Lanshan, and the others, all struggling to advance on the ancient road.

“Look, Chen Fan has reached the end of the Road of Calamity!”

“Damn it, he took all the benefits inside the ancient tomb. Now, he’s the first to enter Brahma Ancient City. Is he a child of fortune?”

“I know, right? He enters the city first and will obtain the benefits inside. Damn it, why can’t it be me?”

Countless gazes shot toward Chen Fan, piercing through the air—burning with envy, jealousy, and barely concealed resentment.

Naturally, Chen Fan felt their stares, but he paid no attention to them. He stepped forward, passing through a curtain of light on the ancient road. Then, his vision flashed white, and he found himself standing before an ancient city.

It was ancient and majestic.

This place was sacred and not to be desecrated.

Lifting his head, Chen Fan looked at this ancient city. A feeling of awe rose within him, feeling an instinctive urge to bow before its grandeur.

“Are these all ancient demon beasts?” Chen Fan mumbled, looking at the demon beasts carved on the ancient city walls. Those carvings were so vivid that it felt as if a single glance would make one fall into a trance.

Among the demon beasts were the Taotie, Hundun, Qiongqi, Suanni, and so on, all great demons with unmatched ferocity. They were like guardian deities, standing watch here. Even though they were mere carvings on the wall, Chen Fan could still feel an aura of savagery assaulting his senses. [1] 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The gates of Brahma Ancient City stood wide open, yet what lay beyond was hidden from sight. Waves of violent energy surged outward, hinting at unfathomable mysteries within.

However, Chen Fan didn’t hesitate for a single moment and strode forth.

In an instant, he felt as if he had traversed through a world of voids, a primordial world filled with endless, terrifying, great demons.

With a loud rumble, Chen Fan appeared in a battle arena within this void world. Loud rumbling noises reverberated through heaven and earth, and two great demons appeared before him.

Great demons truly guarded the Brahma Ancient City.
