Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1510 - Ill Premonition

Swish!

Chen Fan grabbed out with a large hand, seizing Cao Zhengyang’s thick immortal mark. He directly devoured and refined it.

He now stood slightly hunched, his forehead covered in sweat, and his chest rising and falling fiercely as he panted heavily. To restore his depleted energy, he burned through a hefty stash of immortal stones. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The finger that killed Cao Zhengyang earlier was the second form of the Heaven Interception Finger: Heaven Breaking Form.

The Heaven Interception Finger had three forms, and each form was more powerful than the last. The latter two forms were killing moves.

Chen Fan had been pondering the secrets of this second form and managed to glean some insights. Yet, due to his then-inadequate cultivation, using it had always been out of reach. If he attempted to force it, he risked draining himself completely, reduced to nothing but a desiccated husk.

This was a sacred art, a powerful divine art created by a Sage.

Let alone an Immortal Platform expert, not even Immortal Kings or Immortal Emperors could execute it easily.

However, having broken through to the Immortal Platform realm, Chen Fan could already execute the first form, Heaven Imprisoning Form, relatively easily with his robust reserve of law power. It was also much more powerful than before, shattering Cao Zhengyang’s Void Invincibility Art at once.

When Cao Zhengyang was preparing his ultimate attack earlier, igniting his immortal mark and immortal Dao laws to unleash several times his combat strength, Chen Fan had forcibly executed the second form: the Heaven Breaking Form, with the mindset of testing its might.

Its might was undeniable; it didn’t disappoint Chen Fan. It easily killed Cao Zhengyang, rendering him completely powerless to resist.

However, the consumption of energy for the Heaven Breaking Form was equally shocking. Ordinary martial artists could only execute it freely after becoming Immortal Kings.

As for Chen Fan, even with his rich reserves, having ten times the law power compared to others, he would need to break through to the high-level Immortal Platform realm to execute it with relative ease.

That strike earlier had completely drained the law power inside his dantian, and even that was not enough. He had to ignite large amounts of immortal stones in an instant to make up for what was lacking.

The consumption is terrifying. As expected of a Sage art. Even a low-tier one isn’t something I can easily execute as I am now. Right now, I can’t use it recklessly, except as a last-resort trump card, Chen Fan thought.

The first form, Heaven Imprisoning Form, was better in the sense that he could execute it with relative ease. Although its consumption was also immense, he could still support it with his robust reserve of law power to execute it once or twice.

For the second form, the Heaven Breaking Form, however, he could only execute half of it, even with a full reserve of law power. It would be fine if he managed to kill his enemy, but it would turn tragic for him if he failed.

Still, by his reckoning, even half of Heaven Breaking Form at his current stage should be enough to threaten fifth-level Immortal Platform experts; for those at the fourth, it was pretty much a death sentence.

Suddenly, information regarding the Void Invincibility Art appeared in Chen Fan’s mind.

“Mhm, this Void Invincibility Art is indeed profound. Carving out a void space to redirect an opponent’s attack into it. The bigger the void space, the more power it could absorb. It’s enough to place someone in an undefeatable position among those in the same cultivation level. It is worthy of its name of invincibility.”

All this information came from Cao Zhengyang’s immortal mark. Chen Fan absorbed his immortal mark. Naturally, Chen Fan learned all about the cultivation techniques Cao Zhengyang practiced.

While many of those techniques didn’t catch his eye, the Void Invincibility Art—of an unranked but dazzling tier—spoke to him deeply.

Through his battle with Cao Zhengyang, Chen Fan had gained a clear understanding of his current strength.

Ordinary third-level Immortal Platform realms would not be his match. Chen Fan wouldn’t have to fear top-tier third-level Immortal Platform realms like Cao Zhengyang either. If he cultivated the Void Invincibility Art, he could proclaim himself king under the fourth-level Immortal Platform realm.

Cao Zhengyang’s storage ring also fell into his possession. His gains were rather abundant. There were two to three hundred thousand immortal stones. It seemed that Cao Zhengyang had cleaned out the Cao Clan’s accumulations over the years after massacring them.

Aside from this, there were also some immortal artifacts, immortal metals, elixirs, and so on.

Cao Zhengyang had completely cleaned out the Cao Clan’s treasury. A rough estimation said that these items were worth hundreds of thousands of immortal stones.

Chen Fan immediately replenished his previous expenditures.

“I’ve become an immortal, so it’s time I return to the sect. It’s been seven or eight years since I left. I wonder how my senior brothers and sisters are doing. First Senior Brother should have also overcome his immortal ascension tribulation and become immortal.”

Chen Fan’s complexion finally recovered somewhat. Sweeping a glance at the people in the surroundings, he turned into a golden stream of light and disappeared into the horizon.

He learned from Cao Zhengyang’s memories that there was a teleportation array in the Evergreen Immortal Nation’s capital. Walking back to the Featherlight Sect without it would eat up several years, much better to cheat time with the array.

“He’s finally gone.”

“Phew... this is too terrifying! What kind of a monster is that? Not even the third-level Immortal Platform realm Cao Zhengyang is his match and was killed with a single strike.”

“I know, right? The finger that killed Cao Zhengyang is truly terrifying. What a scary divine art. It made my soul tremble in fear.”

“If a monster like that doesn’t meet a premature end, he would surely become a huge figure in the Heavenly Realm in the future.”

“He must be a pride of heaven nurtured by some top-tier clan of the immortal nation.”

The crowd watched Chen Fan’s departing figure and secretly sighed in relief.

The pressure Chen Fan had given them was too much.

Although he had only just become immortal, in their eyes, he was no different from a ferocious beast.

They couldn’t afford to provoke such a figure, nor do they wish to do so.

Fortunately, they didn’t make a move earlier. Otherwise, not only would they face misfortune, but they might even implicate their clans.

......

A month later, in the imperial capital of the Evergreen Immortal Nation:

The imperial capital was alive with endless streams of people and flowing carriages, a hive of activity.

As a top-tier immortal nation in the central region of the Heavenly Realm, with two Sage powerhouses overseeing it, it was comparable to an immortal holy land.

Being the imperial capital of such an immortal nation, it was naturally incredibly prosperous. As such, the capital teemed with formidable experts; a mere first-level Immortal Platform martial artist like Chen Fan wouldn’t stir any waves here.

Chen Fan had no plans to stay for long in the Evergreen Immortal Nation’s imperial capital. After arriving, worn out from travel, he made his way directly to the teleportation array.

The teleportation array was under the control of the Evergreen Immortal Nation, with experts assigned specifically to guard it. No one dared to cause trouble here. If one wanted to use the teleportation array, they had to obediently pay the fee of a thousand immortal stones.

“Hiss, it’s so expensive!”

Chen Fan was a little lost for words, but he still paid the fees.

Watching the parade of travelers, he calculated, surely Evergreen earned tens of millions in immortal stones from this service alone. To call it a money-making machine would be an understatement!

Soon, it was Chen Fan’s turn.

He stepped into the teleportation array along with nine others. The moment immortal light runes shone, Chen Fan felt a premonition, and his heart suddenly tightened, like a disaster was about to strike.

The feeling was very intense, nearly sending Chen Fan into panic. However, before he could take any action, a blinding light engulfed him and the nine other figures.
