Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1469 - Sacred Radiance
After Chen Fan slew the two great demons, light suddenly enveloped him and the battle arena. With a loud rumble, the battle arena dissipated, and Chen Fan vanished with it.
Next, he found himself standing on solid ground.
It was as if his feet were nailed to the ground; he couldn’t move. As Chen Fan gazed upon the vast space before him, waves rippled through his heart.
This was the real Brahma Ancient City. Under the starry sky, even after countless years had passed, one could still feel the awe-inspiring majesty of this city from the primordial era.
However, aside from its antiquity, the Brahma Ancient City was also worn down, as if it had undergone severe destruction.
“What’s going on? Wasn’t the Brahma Ancient City a city treasure forged by Great Sage Brahma? With the power of Great Dao imbued in it, how could it have withered with time? Why are there traces of devastation in this ancient city?” Chen Fan was puzzled.
What puzzled him further was that, according to legend, this city held countless treasures within. The Road of Calamity was already a brutal trial to gain entry, so why were there still great demons waiting inside to test the intruders?
Could it be that Great Sage Brahma didn’t forge the Brahma Ancient City?
Chen Fan shook his head. Speculation was useless.
He swept his gaze around and soon caught the faint sound of splashing nearby. He looked over and saw a blood pool.
Sensing his presence, the pool began to churn. Waves of blood-colored light rippled across its surface as countless runes flickered faintly within. The sight was both mesmerizing and terrifying.
“What kind of blood is this? For it to remain fresh and potent even after endless years... could it be the blood of a powerhouse?”
Chen Fan stared at the blood pool, feeling deeply shaken inside.
The further one ascended on the path of cultivation, the deeper their understanding of what true power meant. To those at his level, even a single drop of a true powerhouse’s blood contained unimaginable might.
“This blood pool could be used to cleanse one’s physique. I wonder if it can help raise my Hegemonic Golden Body to the next level.”
Without hesitation, he stepped forward.
This was the blood of a powerhouse. The immense power contained within was an invaluable treasure to him.
“Umphh!” The moment Chen Fan stepped into the blood pool, a searing agony tore through him, as if countless ants were gnawing at his flesh. A muffled groan escaped his lips.
The blood pool suddenly started boiling. The terrifying blood-colored runes rushed inside Chen Fan, as if they would refine him away, enveloping Chen Fan in intense bloody light.
Stepping into the Immortal Platform realm would reshape one’s physique. At the Immortal King realm, the very laws of the Great Dao would etch themselves into one’s bones, turning them into runic bones—a law-forged physique containing endless essence power.
That was exactly what Chen Fan felt now, as though his mortal shell was being stripped away and his bones reforged within this blood pool.
A terrifying vortex power appeared. Chen Fan furiously devoured and refined the power within the blood pool, and his bloodline and physique kept growing stronger.
Even though his physique was already terrifyingly strong, the overwhelming power he drew in made him feel as if he might shatter apart at any moment. Waves of unbearable pain wracked him, and intricate blood patterns spread across his skin, painting a fearsome sight.
He endured it, allowing this force to corrode his flesh. Afterward, a splendor washed over him, seemingly making it even more translucent and purer.
Chen Fan’s physique kept metamorphosing, as if he were going through a rebirth, faintly emitting a shocking aura.
About half a day later, he absorbed all the energy within the blood pool. With a loud boom, a formless power swept out from him, shaking the space. His eyes shone brightly, revealing a trace of joy.
The energy of the blood pool had strengthened his physique and enhanced his bloodline power.
He had come from the lower-realm continents, born without any remarkable lineage. Although his countless transformations had elevated his bloodline to one rivaling the immortal realm, such a bloodline was still far too ordinary within the Heavenly Realm, let alone here, in the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm, where true prodigies gathered.
Here, his bloodline power had no advantages to speak of.
The prodigies in the ancient realm, at the very least, had the bloodline of an Immortal King. Most usually had Immortal Emperor bloodlines, and one could even find Sage descendants easily.
After the baptism of the blood pool, Chen Fan’s bloodline power had strengthened, reaching the level of an Immortal King, nearing even an Immortal Emperor's bloodline.
“Good, good, good, as expected of the Brahma Ancient City, known as a city of treasures. Just the energy in a blood pool pushed my Hegemonic Golden Body to level 52, and it even upgraded my bloodline.”
Excitement flashed in Chen Fan’s eyes.
“Let’s take a look ahead.”
With renewed determination, he strode forward. Under the starry sky, the Brahma Ancient City loomed with an aura of age and mystery. A broken blade jutted from the ground, radiating a terrifying demonic might. Around it swirled a vast blade force field, its energy sweeping across heaven and earth as if it could slice through all existence.
Chen Fan could only glance at it from afar. The closer he got, the more he felt an almost tangible threat: one wrong step, and its overwhelming power would shred him. This was no ordinary treasure; it was sentient, and he could neither approach it nor claim it for himself.
The broken blade occasionally emitted a whimper, as if crying in sorrow. Chen Fan went very far away, but he still could feel the sorrow of the blade.
Faint splashing sounds drifted from afar. It was gentle, almost melodic, and unusually pleasant. Chen Fan turned toward the sound, and his expression froze.
Over there was a heavenly river, with streams of radiance cascading downward from the sky. The light shimmered like liquid, yet carried the intricate patterns of runes, flowing endlessly like a luminous waterfall washing over the world. Each time it struck the ground, it vanished without a trace.
“This is...”
Chen Fan was shaken inside. He walked toward it, his heart beating violently, and his breathing grew slightly hurried. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
“Sacred Radiance! This is Sacred Radiance!”
The closer he got, the more Chen Fan trembled in excitement.
Legends talked of a sacred light descending from above the nine heavens to cleanse mortal physiques: Sacred Radiance.
Sacred Radiance appeared liquid, but was actually a divine light; it was an illusory existence that couldn’t be grabbed or brought away.
Sacred Radiance could cleanse and refine the mortal frame, facilitate a metamorphosis, and stimulate one's potential. The stronger one was when they encountered the Sacred Radiance, the more beneficial it was.
As cultivators advanced, their own potential expanded, making them increasingly adaptable and formidable. For Immortal Kings, the Sacred Radiance could elevate them in a single leap, transforming them into supreme beings and dramatically increasing their chances of ascending to the level of an Immortal Emperor or Sage.
