Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 875 - Arrived at the Tomb

Everyone carried their thoughts, harboring an agenda as they moved toward the tomb.

Sensing the sinister gazes from Shang Ziyan and the black-robed man, Chen Fan sneered in his heart but remained cautious—carelessness could lead to failure.

As the saying went: harm none, but always guard against harm from others.

That was especially true in an ad hoc squad like this, where schemes were rampant, and betrayal over personal gain was commonplace.

Among them, only Su Tong was barely trustworthy.

The black-robed man hated Chen Fan due to that white-robed man incident. Shang Ziyan viewed him as a threat to his authority over the group, resulting in a consistently hostile attitude.

Now that the two were together, the likelihood of them scheming against Chen Fan had sharply increased.

What hidden ace does Shang Ziyan have? It’s like he thinks he will win against me. Hoho, whatever, you have a hidden card, but who’s to say I haven’t kept my full strength hidden? If you really want to deal with me, I’ll make sure you’re the one caught off guard!

In a manner of speaking, among all those who had entered the secret realm, even the so-called top ten seeds who had broken through to the first-level Manifestation realm would find it impossible to kill Chen Fan.

While he wasn’t invincible here, survival was never an issue.

But these two are indeed a source of trouble!

Killing intent grew in his heart. Faced with constant scheming from Shang Ziyan and the black-robed man, he had no intention of showing mercy.

With that resolve, Chen Fan chopped a peak Heavenly Star realm demon beast to the ground with his arm.

After pushing forward for close to half a month, they finally arrived in front of a huge mountain range. Chilling winds howled, carrying the eerie wails of ghosts and the distant howls of wolves.

The mountain range stretched endlessly; its end was nowhere in sight. It should have been grand and majestic, but a sinister atmosphere overshadowed its grandeur. Gloom hung heavily, blotting out the sky. Strange, inhuman cries echoed intermittently, striking fear into their hearts.

Woo, woo, woo. Woo, woo, woo.

The biting winds swept out, chilling them to the bone and making them shiver uncontrollably.

All of them were people with high cultivation, but they still could not help but shiver, sensing a looming, unspeakable terror deep within the mountain range.

They knew that this was not an ordinary cold. With their cultivation, they could withstand temperatures hundreds or over a thousand degrees below freezing. This chill, however, pierced their very souls, warning of the grave danger hidden within.

Even so, none retreated or showed fear. They all understood that fortune favored the bold.

Gu Tian frowned as he studied the mountain range ahead. He had dabbled in landscape feng shui and saw through the extraordinariness of this huge tomb at a glance.

“What a huge tomb. This is the Eight Gates Heavenly Yin Grand Formation, drawing Yin qi from the surroundings to create a corpse-rearing den. Such extravagance... the tomb’s owner has likely become a terrifying jiangshi.”

Chen Fan also saw through it at a glance, his broad knowledge extending to landscape feng shui as well.

“Gege, wealth is sought through braving risks. If it weren’t dangerous, how could there be a method here to break through to the Manifestation realm? Pretty boy, if you’re scared, get lost with your tail between your legs now.” The black-robed man laughed insidiously.

Gu Tian’s expression turned cold in an instant. Intense killing intent swept toward the black-robed man as he said coldly, “You’d better show me some respect if you don’t wish to reunite with your dead brother!”

Those words struck the black-robed man’s sore spot and he blew up at once.

“Pretty boy, you’re courting death!”

“Enough!” Shang Ziyan shouted, suppressing the auras of both sides. He continued icily, “Both of you, shut up. The tomb is right in front of us. If anyone causes trouble now, don’t blame me for showing no mercy!”

Su Tong’s voice echoed in Chen Fan’s mind, followed by the appearance of a map that was quickly absorbed. He gained a general understanding of the Sky Suspended Secret Realm, dispelling his earlier uncertainty.

“Chen Fan, this is our objective. The tomb is in this mountain range, and it is infested with jiangshi. Rumor has it this range was formed from the convergence of the secret realm’s Yin qi, making it a land of extreme Yin.

“Many claim that this place is an ancient battlefield where countless experts fought and killed one another. Their restless souls gathered to create this eerie terrain. I’ll send you the map now.”

As Chen Fan examined the map closely, Su Tong continued,

“In the last Demonic Child Selection Battle, someone accidentally discovered the tomb’s entrance, revealing it as a massive underground structure spanning hundreds of kilometers. The Yin qi it releases has gradually turned the entire mountain range into a haven for jiangshi, with the creatures in its vicinity succumbing to its influence.”

Chen Fan nodded, understanding the dangers within.

Jiangshi were the most difficult to deal with. They were impervious to the elements, immune to pain, difficult to injure, and not in the three realms and six paths. A jiangshi could fight against two or three martial artists of the same cultivation level easily. [1]

“Everyone, that tomb is inside this mountain range. You have to watch out because that sinister fog contains terrifying corpse poison,” Shang Ziyan said.

Everyone showed a look of understanding. Aside from Chen Fan, who had only just learned about this, the others had known about this.

Such preparation made sense as they had entered the secret realm with one goal in mind: to advance to the next realm.

A perfect true primeval qi shield appeared on everyone, completely enveloping them.

The corpse qi, corpse poison, nefarious qi, Yin qi, and evil qi couldn’t come close to them.

However, when they stepped into the mountain range, they still immediately felt the terror of the mountain range.

Their true primeval shield produced sizzling sounds as the terrifying corpse qi tried to corrode it, underscoring its potency.

Fortunately, their cultivation was profound. If some seventh or eighth-level Heavenly Star realm martial artists were in their places, they would have met a terrible fate.
