Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1500 - Driven into a Corner

The people who had planned to take advantage of this moment to strike instantly froze, their feet retracting as they lifted their eyes to the sky in horror.

“The heavenly tribulation is still not over!”

There, a terrifying heavenly might was brewing that sent people into despair. Even the faintest wisp of its aura made their scalps tingle; it felt as if death itself was about to descend.

The rolling tribulation clouds in the sky hadn’t dissipated. Instead, they swelled and churned even more violently, growing thicker, darker, wilder. It was as though everything so far had merely been an appetizer, and the real feast of destruction was about to begin.

A crushing heavenly might pressed down on everyone’s hearts, and they felt like kneeling and lowering their heads. This was true heavenly might: the power that governed all creation, all life and death.

“This... It’s still not over, and with this heavenly might, my god, does it intend to kill him? Were all those earlier strikes just a warm-up?”

“What kind of sin could he have committed to enrage the heavens like this? It’s as if they won’t rest until he’s dead, no matter what.”

“He’s done for! He’s absolutely done for! He can’t come out of this alive!”

“That’s right. The previous tribulation nearly killed him. Now, something even more terrifying is brewing. There’s no hope left. Such a pity... to force the heavens to respond with this level of fury, he truly must be a once-in-an-era genius.”

“Indeed. If such a figure could overcome this life-or-death tribulation, he’d soar freely beneath the boundless sky; his future would be limitless.”

“Such a pity that the heavenly tribulation will reduce him to ashes. He’s a big fat sheep. What a waste... though it’d be nice if he left that storage ring behind before he dies.”

The nearby crowd murmured, their faces tinged with pity but not all for the same reason. Some mourned the fall of a peerless genius, a pride of heaven about to be extinguished; others regretted the fortune that would vanish into ashes along with Chen Fan’s death.

Naturally, Chen Fan didn’t pay any heed to these people.

As the one facing the tribulation, standing at the center of the heavenly tribulation, he knew the terrifying might of the heavenly tribulation better than anyone else present.

Even the faint destructive aura radiating from the heavens made his very soul tremble.

But Chen Fan wasn’t one to sit idle while doom gathered above. He swiftly pulled out large quantities of recovery elixirs and swallowed them, then ignited immortal stones to replenish the law power he had exhausted.

The upcoming heavenly tribulation would be his real life-or-death tribulation.

His future would be limitless if he overcame it. If he failed, he would return to the earth.

In just a few moments, Chen Fan had mainly recovered from his injuries.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a thunderstorm began sweeping across the sky again.

The heavens didn’t want to give Chen Fan too much time to recover. It tried to use this opportunity to destroy Chen Fan and prevent such a monstrous figure from continuing to exist.

What came wasn’t mere lightning but countless weapons forged from thunder itself. Each one shimmered with elemental fury: fire, ice, wind, and more, their destructive power far surpassing ordinary bolts.

Each weapon contained unimaginable laws, condensed from countless threads of laws.

Such methods were only possible in the Immortal King realm, where countless threads of law could directly take the shape of a desired weapon.

These weapons were each equivalent to a low-grade immortal artifact. Any one of them could easily kill an expert below the immortal realm. Even an immortal realm cultivator would meet a tragic end if they showed the slightest carelessness.

Bang!

A lightning ax chopped down, nearly splitting Chen Fan’s head open and sending fresh blood spattering.

“Roar!” Chen Fan let out a fierce roar. Endless sword intent gathered in his hand and surged to the sky, rampaging wildly and slashing at the weapons falling from the sky.

Rumble!

Another round of terrifying collisions occurred, setting off energy shockwaves in all directions and crushing the space, shattering the earth.

The impact pushed Chen Fan back, spewing fresh blood from his mouth.

“What a terrifying heavenly tribulation.”

“Each of those weapons gives off an aura so oppressive, I can barely breathe. Just one strike could kill me outright, or even cripple an immortal realm expert.”

“This level of tribulation... It’s the stuff of legends! They say such ‘forbidden tribulations’ only appear to annihilate the utterly wicked, or those too heaven-defying for the world to contain.”

The crowd nearby sucked breaths of cold air in succession.

It was their first time witnessing such a terrifying tribulation.

Chen Fan attacked with all his might, resisting falling lightning weapons that filled the sky.

The fall of each weapon was equivalent to the full-powered strike of an immortal realm expert. There was simply no way to pull any cheap tricks; he could only face it head-on.

If it weren’t for Chen Fan’s powerful physique, the tribulation would have reduced him to paste long ago.

Even so, he wasn’t having an easy time. His Hegemonic Golden Body was in tatters from the onslaught.

This tribulation was far crueler than the last—not only stronger, but denser, more relentless, as if heaven itself had decided: Chen Fan must be erased, no matter the cost.

This left Chen Fan speechless.

He hadn’t committed any evil to incur heaven’s wrath. On the contrary, he had done many good deeds to accumulate positive karma. By all logic, the heavens should have shown mercy, at the very least, left him a path to survive.

But now, Chen Fan simply couldn’t see any hope of survival.

The lightning tribulation of weapons fell one after another, striking Chen Fan, breaking his bones and tearing his tendons. His flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Suddenly, numerous figures appeared in the sky.

“Kill!”

Loud battle cries shook heaven and earth. A terrifying pressure swept out. Lightning troops clad in iron armor rushed down, wielding their weapons.

These lightning troops were more than twice as strong and numerous as the lightning troops Chen Fan had dealt with in the past. There were even Immortal Platform realm generals mixed among them.

In an instant, they charged. Their warhorses thundered through the void, slamming into Chen Fan like mountains of steel. The impact sent him hurtling through the air like a meteor, blood spraying in arcs.

Rumble!

Before he could even recover, the lightning troops surged after him, their weapons whistling through the storm. Swords, spears, halberds, and a storm of killing blows rained down, giving him no moment to breathe, no space to stand.

Chen Fan steadied himself with difficulty.

He knew that he absolutely couldn’t fall into a passive position. If he did, there would be no hope for him to reverse the situation.

“Kill!” Chen Fan roared furiously with bloodshot eyes, charging toward the army of lightning troops. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

He had no retreat, no path of escape, only the desperate resolve to fight. To claw out a sliver of life from the jaws of annihilation, to wrest his destiny back from heaven itself.
