Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1478 - Mystical Realm Battlefield

A single drop of dragon blood had elevated the level of his bloodline to that of a Sage. Chen Fan couldn’t help but be in awe of the might of the black dragon.

He was only an ordinary person with no background whatsoever. For him to be able to come this far, aside from luck and a few fortuitous encounters, was thanks to his fearless will, his refusal to shrink from hardship, and his resolve to take risks.

“Many thanks to Senior for your generous gift.” Chen Fan cupped his fists and bowed deeply in gratitude, showing his genuine sincerity.

It wasn’t that he coveted the bloodline of a Sage; rather, by elevating the level of his own bloodline, he could open the door to greater possibilities, perhaps even surpass those born with privilege and fortune.

Why did prodigies usually emerge among those with powerful backgrounds? Because they had their ancestors' blessings, providing them with a powerful bloodline. They were born extraordinary, and their starting points were much higher than those of people like Chen Fan.

“Enough. I only granted this to you because of the trace of dragon blood within you,” the black dragon said coolly. “Otherwise, do you think I’d bestow the blood essence of a dragon on just anyone? You’re overthinking.”

The black dragon spoke indifferently, but Chen Fan understood the value of this drop of blood essence. If it were available to the outside world, even Immortal Emperors would fight tooth and nail for it.

“I’ve already sent everyone else within the divine city out and have closed off the entrance. Do you wish to leave now?” asked the black dragon.

Chen Fan nodded.

He couldn’t take the scepter with him for now, and there was nothing other than that divine statue here. No other treasures were available for him. However, that drop of a black dragon’s blood essence had made this trip worthwhile.

“Go on.”

A mysterious force enveloped Chen Fan and sent him out of the divine city. When he reappeared, he was at the entrance.

Luo Wushuang, Ji Lanshan, and the others were also here. Seeing Chen Fan appear, they all wore strange expressions.

Chen Fan was the last person to come out.

“What’s wrong?”

“They were all sent out together.” Luo Wushuang shrugged and said with a smile, “Tell me honestly, how many tests of the starry sky ancient road did you pass?”

Obviously, Chen Fan couldn’t tell the truth. If he revealed that he had passed the ninth test and inherited the divine city, news would spread like wildfire; he would be hunted down even if he hid away in the Featherlight Sect.

He shrugged and said, “I passed the eighth test and failed the ninth. The ninth test is simply too difficult. No one under the immortal realm can pass it.”

His words immediately resonated with Luo Wushuang. The latter said, “Right, I was the same. The ninth test is too much. I almost died there.”

Although Xuan Yang, Xie Qingjin, and the others were standing far away, their ears perked up, and they heard their conversation, shocked inside.

They all know how terrifying the tests on the starry sky ancient road were. Most of them had passed the fourth or fifth test, but Chen Fan and Luo Wushuang had actually passed the eighth.

“Alright, let’s go. Since we’ve been driven out, the Brahma Ancient City must be closing,” said Chen Fan unwillingly.

Luo Wushuang nodded and said, “Alright, let’s leave together.”

Then, the two stepped forth, sweeping into the distance.

Since Chen Fan had already inherited the divine city, it would not open easily in the future.

Xuan Yang and Xie Qingjin watched as Chen Fan and Luo Wushuang left. They exchanged glances, their eyes surging with icy killing intent.

They didn’t gain anything of value in the Brahma Ancient City. They merely got a moment in the light of the Sacred Radiance, which didn’t have much of an effect.

On the other hand, Chen Fan and Luo Wushuang had undergone the baptism of the Sacred Radiance and had transformed. Such a fortuitous encounter was enough to drive them crazy with jealousy.

The two of them nodded subtly, seemingly resolving themselves for something.

......

Chen Fan and Luo Wushuang sped through the void at extreme speeds.

The two of them had gained the greatest benefits on this trip to the Brahma Ancient City. They had both received the baptism of the Sacred Radiance, stimulating their potentials. Their futures were limitless.

“Brother Chen, I’ll be leaving the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm soon to prepare to push for the immortal realm. What about you?” Luo Wushuang asked.

He had come to the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm because he had heard there was a land of treasures in the Heavenly Realm; he had come with a heart of curiosity.

Truth be told, within the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm, only the Brahma Ancient City held some allure for Luo Wushuang.

“I came to the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm only to search for the divine object to cleanse and refine my immortal platform. Now, I have obtained it, so I don’t plan on walking on the path of the half-immortal transitional realm. So, I’ll be leaving the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm soon, just like you, and push for the Immortal Platform realm.”

Luo Wushuang had witnessed Chen Fan collecting the Sacred Radiance. So, he did not need to hide this from him.

“Mmm.” Luo Wushuang nodded and said, “Brother Chen can achieve the heaven-defying feat of killing ninth-stage half-immortals like ants while being a Void Immortal. You’ll surely be a renowned figure in the future. I look forward to meeting you again at the Mystical Realm Battlefield. We’ll have a drink and catch up then.”

“Mystical Realm Battlefield?” Chen Fan looked confused. He asked, “Brother Luo, what’s that place?”

“You don’t know?”

Chen Fan shook his head.

Luo Wushuang explained, “The Mystical Realm Battlefield is a brutal meat grinder in the Mystical Realm. It’s very vast, and within the Mystical Realm lies the secret to eternal life. So, those Sage powerhouses venture into the Mystical Realm to search for the secret...”

Luo Wushuang gave a rough introduction to the Mystical Realm.

Like the Heavenly Realm, the Mystical Realm was a vast world by itself. However, its laws and Heavenly Dao were more perfect than those of the Heavenly Realm, making it easier for one to attain enlightenment. It was a gathering place for true experts.

Luo Wushuang came from a top force in the Mystical Realm, the Pioneer Palace Hall.

According to Luo Wushuang, the Pioneer Palace Hall had received the legacy of a primordial god and had even slain deities before, with countless experts in its ranks.

Chen Fan couldn’t help but feel a yearning for it.

However, Chen Fan also knew that the Mystical Realm was still far beyond his reach. At the very least, he would barely gain the qualification to venture into the Mystical Realm after breaking through to the Immortal King realm.

Suddenly, Chen Fan asked, “Brother Luo, since you came from the Mystical Realm and have vast knowledge, do you know about the Phoenix Ancient Realm?”

“Phoenix Ancient Realm?” Luo Wushuang looked at Chen Fan in surprise. He nodded and said, “Of course, I know. The Phoenix Ancient Realm is one of the top forces across all realms. The origins of the phoenix and dragon clans could be traced back to the primordial era. Back then, they competed for the position of the ruler of heaven and earth, but they gradually declined. Still, the Phoenix Ancient Realm and the Dragon Island are two of the strongest forces. What, did you offend someone from the Phoenix Ancient Realm?”

“My wife possesses the phoenix bloodline and had undergone bloodline nirvana and was forcibly taken away by the Phoenix Ancient Realm’s people...”

Chen Fan didn’t say much, but Luo Wushuang could sense the heaviness in his words.

Luo Wushuang fell silent. If it were any other force, there might have been hope. But the Phoenix Ancient Realm—one of the most formidable powers in existence—was no easy foe. For Chen Fan to take her back from them... would be nearly impossible.
