Chapter 1198 - Great Dharma of Slaughter

The sudden epic battle shook the entire Tianwu continent like an earthquake of magnitude nine had occurred.

For the past month, the continent had been in turmoil.

On the Tianwu Continent, the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect was synonymous with the evil path.

So when the sect suffered a crushing defeat, like a dam bursting, countless people rose up, each contributing to its eradication.

Its palaces, halls, and hidden branches across the continent were swiftly destroyed.

Facing the united Tianwu Continent, the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect was completely powerless and was destroyed.

“The Blood Heavenly Demon Sect colluded with the foreign forces to overthrow our continent.”

“Chen Fan provided powerful support at the crucial moment and reversed the disadvantageous situation.”

“Three of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect’s Void Immortal Supremes, Xue Luo, Sen Luo, and White Bones Green Savage, have perished. Two of them were cut down by Zhang Daoling, and the other was besieged to death by the combined forces of Chu Qingtian and the others.”

“The foreign forces suffered heavy losses. Aside from their nine Void Immortal Supremes escaping with heavy injuries, everyone else perished in the ancient battlefield.”

“The various major forces of the Tianwu Continent besieged the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect’s headquarters, but were stopped by their super formation.”

“......”

News spread like crashing waves—relentless, echoing across the continent.

Three Void Immortal Supremes had fallen. What does it signify?

This was no doubt like a nuclear bomb, shaking the entire continent.

In the past, even the death of a Lesser Legendary realm expert would have caused an uproar.

In this battle, even the number of fallen Lesser, Greater, and Invincible Legendary realm experts couldn’t be counted on both hands.

Yet, their deaths were nothing more than a tiny wave in the sea in front of the death of a Void Immortal Supreme, drowned in the blink of an eye.

Ultimately, justice prevailed.

The Blood Heavenly Demon Sect, which had only recently reemerged, was once again crippled, forced to shut its doors and cling to life on the brink of collapse.

This outcome was welcomed by the citizens of the Tianwu Continent. Chen Fan’s name spread throughout the entire continent again, as at the most critical moment, he had turned the tide.

Even though Chen Fan didn’t change the situation with his strength, he had brought out the Vicious Suppressor saber and the Heavenly Punishment sword, handing them to Zhang Daoling and Chu Qingtian. This alone was an enormous contribution.

Without this, the outcome would’ve been drastically different.

However, the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect wasn’t fully annihilated, giving it a sliver of hope for resurgence.

Thus, the various major forces began retreating like the tide.

Although they had failed to annihilate the demon sect this time, it no longer posed a major threat. The continent’s powers also vowed to keep a close watch on its every move.

Thus, there weren’t any more large-scale battles, only some small skirmishes here and there.

Finally, Chen Fan also returned to the True Martial Academy.

Shortly after he returned to the Peerless Peak, Chen Fan received a summons from Chu Qingtian to visit the True Martial Hall for a discussion, mainly regarding the Heavenly Punishment sword.

Chu Qingtian appealed to Chen Fan both emotionally and logically, and after offering many benefits, Chen Fan agreed to hand over the Heavenly Punishment sword, allowing the academy to keep it as a symbol of strength and unity.

He had no regrets.

Although it was an incomparably precious immortal artifact, he already possessed one of even higher grade: the bloody axe he had swindled from the Blood Emperor.

So, he didn’t feel any heartache handing it over to the academy. Instead, it made the academy owe him a favor. When he entered the Heavenly Realm, they would take good care of his family.

As for the Vicious Suppressor saber, Zhang Daoling returned it without hesitation, warning him not to use it unless absolutely necessary.

Chen Fan understood his kind intentions. He was also well aware that the saber was terrifying, capable of driving one into mindless slaughter.

He’d avoid using it... at least until he was strong enough to control it.

For three days, Chen Fan was busy with all sorts of matters.

Three days later, he finally had a moment of peace.

On a mountain peak, the vast sea of clouds rolled.

Chen Fan sat cross-legged in front of the cliff, holding a piece of broken tortoise shell in his hand.

This relic, obtained by Gu Tianxing, contained a partially recorded martial arts technique.

When Chen Fan had learned it was only a remnant and that the rest would require luck to find, his interest cooled slightly.

However, at that time, the small golden person in his origin acupoint had moved.

He hadn’t shown any reaction before Gu Tianxing’s remnant will; soon after leaving the core region, war broke out, which left him with no time to examine the fragment.

“For it to trigger a reaction from the small golden person, this shell must be anything but ordinary,” Chen Fan muttered, narrowing his eyes slightly.

He stared at the tiny, dark golden characters on the tortoise shell; simultaneously, his divine will spread out, probing.

The moment his divine will came into contact with the tortoise shell, his mind rumbled like a lightning strike from the clear sky.

Immediately afterward, the world before his eyes changed.

The tiny, dark golden characters on the tortoise shell seemed to come to life, dancing before his eyes, emitting infinite golden light.

Chen Fan calmed himself.

“This is...”

Those tiny golden characters kept growing larger, forming a passage.

But, just as Gu Tianxing had said, the martial art was incomplete, missing large portions, including the beginning. It was impossible to cultivate.

Suddenly, the small golden person in Chen Fan’s origin acupoint reacted.

Buzz!

Golden light blossomed. The golden figure seemed to open its mouth, and a voice echoed directly in Chen Fan’s mind.

Immediately, Chen Fan felt a sharp pain in his mind, as if it was about to explode.

Half an hour later, he finally came to his senses.

In his mind now appeared a cryptic, profound, and nearly incomprehensible scripture.

“Great Dharma of Slaughter!”

Chen Fan’s eyes flickered.

The passage that appeared in his mind was called the Great Dharma of Slaughter. It was the martial art recorded on the broken tortoise shell.

But unlike the incomplete version on the shell, what he now possessed was complete. The small golden figure had filled in the missing parts of the remnant scripture.

“What tier of martial arts is this Great Dharma of Slaughter? For the small golden figure to react and complete it... It must be extraordinary.”

Chen Fan’s heart beat violently.
