Chapter 1661 - Pocketed, Huge Shockwaves

Boom!

Facing Chen Fan’s slash, the eldest brother raised his arm and defended himself with the ancient mirror.

Clang!

The eldest brother staggered several steps backward. His entire arm went numb, terror flashing on his face.

Chen Fan’s strength had reached a horrifying level. Despite using the ancient mirror, he couldn’t dispel Chen Fan’s attack. If this turned into a battle of pure physique and force, he would be crushed without question.

The killing intent in his eyes thickened. If Chen Fan survived today, he would become a calamity for the Demon Suppression lineage.

“Hoho, emperor artifact, huh? I have one, too!” Chen Fan smiled. With a flick of his hand, the Wheel of Myriad Laws appeared and smashed forward.

Bang!

The ancient mirror was sent flying.

The Wheel of Myriad Laws had once been a sage artifact. Even after falling in rank, it was still far beyond ordinary emperor artifacts. The ancient mirror was powerful, but the gap was obvious.

“What?” The eldest brother’s expression immediately changed drastically. He roared furiously, “How is this possible? How could you possess an emperor artifact? Absolutely impossible! There’s definitely no such emperor artifact within the sect! Absolutely none!”

𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

“What a reaction.” Chen Fan smiled faintly, eyes full of mockery. “Who told you that my artifact belongs to your sect?”

Chen Fan wielded the Wheel of Myriad Laws and struck repeatedly, suppressing the ancient mirror. The terrifying force reached the eldest brother across space, making him spew blood repeatedly.

Already severely injured, he had gambled everything on killing Chen Fan. Instead, Chen Fan revealed an even stronger emperor artifact, stripping him of his final advantage.

“Break for me!” shouted Chen Fan fiercely. Like a huge millstone, the Wheel of Myriad Laws crashed down violently, aiming to destroy everything in its path.

Rumble!

The ancient mirror finally reached its limit. Its radiance dimmed almost instantly.

Pfft

! The eldest brother spewed a mist of blood mixed with bits of his organs as he was sent flying, his complexion turned deathly pale.

The attack would have been trivial were he at his full strength; in his current state, it was enough to kill him on the spot.

Clang!

The ancient mirror flew out of his grasp and fell to the ground.

“Die!” Chen Fan said coldly, sending the Wheel of Myriad Laws crashing down upon him again.

“No, you can’t. You can’t kill me...” The eldest brother was petrified. “I’m with the Demon Suppression lineage. They definitely wouldn’t let you go for this.”

“Let me go?” Chen Fan sneered coldly, “Idiot, I plan to eradicate that entire lineage. How ridiculous. Enough, just die. I’ll be taking your ancient mirror and the Sage abomination.”

The Wheel of Myriad Laws crashed down, crushing the eldest brother into a mist of blood and dissipating.

Chen Fan curled his lips. Clasping his hand, the ancient mirror and the eldest brother’s storage ring flew into his grasp. Within the storage ring were a million immortal stones and many immortal herbs and elixirs.

“

Eh

? A remnant map piece!” Chen Fan’s eyes lit up.

He took out a palm-sized sheep skin scroll from the eldest brother’s storage ring. It was a remnant piece of a map. He had obtained the first piece long ago. The second came from the Chaotic Demon City auction. The third was taken from Shark Crown Prince.

“Good, good, good, I have four remnant map pieces now. From the looks of it, I just need one last piece to complete it. When this is over, I can study it properly back at the sect to see exactly what treasure it is. Perhaps it’s an opportunity for me to advance into an Immortal Emperor!”

Chen Fan put the remnant map piece away.

“This ancient mirror should be nothing ordinary. It should be an emperor artifact of the Demon Suppression lineage.

Hmph, hmph

, I wonder if that old fart Deng Ao will vomit blood when he finds out that this treasure is lost. Hahaha.”

Chen Fan was just about to put the ancient mirror away when multicolored light erupted from it. The mirror transformed into a streak of radiance and shot toward the distance, clearly trying to escape.

“Trying to flee? Not a chance!” Chen Fan snorted coldly and grabbed at it.

Boom!

The ancient mirror shattered his attack. Even without the eldest brother’s control, the ancient mirror wasn’t inferior to a top-level Immortal King.

“

Hmph

.” Chen Fan snorted coldly as he activated the Wheel of Myriad Laws, bombarding the ancient mirror.

The light covering the ancient mirror rapidly dimmed. The violent, murderous aura churning within it weakened, its resistance faltering.

Suddenly, a fierce roar came from within the ancient mirror. Chen Fan recognized the voice instantly. It was Deng Ao.

“Who is it? Who dares to covet my artifact!”

Deng Ao had probably left a wisp of his primordial spirit within the ancient mirror, which meant that the ancient mirror was most likely his personal artifact. He had only loaned it to the brothers to capture the Sage abomination. Now, with them facing annihilation and the mirror about to fall into Chen Fan’s hands, that dormant spirit could no longer remain silent.

The awakened primordial spirit roared furiously, attempting to intimidate Chen Fan into retreat.

“So what if I covet it?

Hmph

, old fart, I’ll take a bit of interest first. This ancient mirror will do just fine!” Chen Fan smiled coldly.

Instead of backing down, he drove the Wheel of Myriad Laws forward with explosive force. The terrifying power surged out, instantly annihilating Deng Ao’s primordial spirit.

After getting rid of the primordial spirit and nearly shattering the ancient mirror, the multicolored rays withdrew with a mournful cry.

“Submit!”

Chen Fan reached out again. This time, the ancient mirror didn’t dare resist, obediently accepting his authority.

“That’s more like it.” Chen Fan smiled in satisfaction and put the ancient mirror away.

“

Roar

!” The Sage abomination roared continuously, absorbing the resentment of the eldest brother lingering in space and recovering slightly.

“Foolish human,” it thundered. “Release this Sage, and I shall bestow upon you a Sage art. Eternal life, glory rivaling the sun and moon, all can be yours.”

For the first time, the Sage abomination spoke in the human tongue.

“You’re nothing more than a Sage abomination,” Chen Fan replied coldly. “Trying to tempt me? How laughable.”

“You... This is blasphemy. This is blasphemy against a great Sage!” The abomination hadn’t expected Chen Fan to react this way, “Release me, and I will teach you the martial arts of the Sages, peerless secret techniques, and even grant you insight into the great Dao. All of it, in exchange for my freedom!”

“Don’t waste your energy. Let you go? That was never an option.” Chen Fan shook his head, smiling coldly. With that, he sealed the Sage abomination into the Wheel of Myriad Laws.

......

When Chen Fan returned to Chaos City, the entire city was in turmoil.

Over a thousand experts had left for the Land of Chaos, but a mere hundred returned alive. The losses were catastrophic, especially for the top ten forces. Several leaders had died tragically. With their heads gone, a reshuffling of power in the city became inevitable.

Under such circumstances, the Sky Fire Merchant Guild remained uninvolved. They had withdrawn early, preserving their strength. Moreover, their guildmaster recovered fully and broke through to the top-level Immortal King realm in one breath, cementing the guild’s position among the top ten forces. They transformed into a colossal force ranked within the top three of the city’s forces.

On the day the crowd returned from the Land of Chaos, a terrifying pressure descended upon Chaos City. Soon after, a brutal massacre began. Demon race experts were slaughtered in droves, and even human cultivators with close ties to the demons were wiped out. No one was spared. Chaos City was drowned in blood.

Soon, the people learned that the Featherlight Sect’s Demon Suppression lineage had descended.

It was said that several key figures of the Demon Suppression lineage had perished in the Land of Chaos. Worse still, their leader Deng Ao’s Demon Subduing Mirror had been lost, provoking their uncontrollable fury.

Only then did the people realize that the opening of the Land of Chaos had even drawn the Featherlight Sect’s Demon Suppression lineage. Whatever they were seeking had to be extraordinary, or they would never have allowed the Demon Subduing Mirror to be brought along.

The experts of the Demon Suppression lineage searched the city repeatedly, yet found nothing. Based on their intelligence, no one in the city possessed the strength to threaten the experts they had sent. With the Demon Subduing Mirror in hand, their experts should have been able to retreat safely even against an Immortal Emperor.

Although Chaos City was in a unique position, it didn’t have any true experts who possessed such capabilities. The slaughter of the demons was nothing more than an outlet for their rage.

The Demon Suppression lineage didn’t let this matter rest. Losing a few experts was acceptable, but losing the Demon Subduing Mirror was not.

The mirror was one of the few top-tier emperor artifacts of the Featherlight Sect. They couldn’t afford to lose even a single one.

After more than ten days of fruitless searching, the lineage was forced to accept a grim conclusion: the trio had likely fallen to the Sage abomination, which may have even devoured the Demon Subduing Mirror.

There were even rumors claiming that this matter had drawn the attention of the Featherlight Sect’s higher-ups, prompting an emergency meeting that lasted through the night. Losing Quasi-Emperor experts was insignificant. Again, losing the Demon Subduing Mirror was not.

There were also whispers that many high-ranking figures were furious with Deng Ao for privately misusing an artifact meant to safeguard the sect’s stability, all for the sake of his disciple’s advancement. Calls for his impeachment grew louder, demanding his expulsion from the Demon Suppression lineage.

In addition, Deng Ao had always acted arrogantly, offending many people. They had been dissatisfied with him for a long time; with the Heavenly Punishment lineage taking the opportunity to beat them down, the Demon Suppression lineage suffered a considerable blow.
