Chapter 1316 - Wanderer Jin Hai

Boom, boom, boom!

Chen Fan struck down treasure demon spirits one after another with ease. Slaughtering them was a cakewalk for him.

After exploding, the treasure demon spirits turned into treasure qi, which he quickly absorbed.

The treasure qi in these treasure demon spirits was too rich. His Hegemonic Golden Body had already broken through to level 46 at the ice river.

After absorbing so much more treasure qi, it marched forth once more. Golden light radiated from him, making him seem like an unstoppable ancient god.

To others, these demon spirits were formidable: Greater Legendary, Invincible Legendary, and even Void Immortal level beings, each ruling its domain.

The Mystical Gates Immortal Manor, though renowned for artifact refinement, had few who could craft actual immortal artifacts.

He had quickly made countless treasure demon spirits explode and collected many treasures.

Yet, he hadn’t obtained a single immortal artifact. Most of them were quasi-immortal artifacts, or even Grade-8 or 9 treasures.

It was unsurprising, though. If every disciple could forge one, the sect’s overall strength wouldn’t be so lacking.

Still, even scraps had value. Chen Fan wasn’t that picky about it. Whenever he came across a treasure demon spirit, if he could take it, he would.

Suddenly, he discovered a powerful aura ahead, surging with treasure qi that was tumbling like a storm.

“

Hmm

? A peak Invincible Legendary realm treasure demon spirit!”

“Hey, human, how dare you slaughter my people!” said the treasure spirit. Relying on its tremendous strength, it had established its territory in this area.

The treasure demon spirits in this domain were its underlings, yet Chen Fan felled them one by one. Rage burned in the creature’s eyes, which was proof of the high spiritual wisdom these spirits possessed.

“Hoho, forget your followers, even you will be crushed!”

Chen Fan stared at this treasure demon spirit with a fiery gaze. Treasure qi shrouded the demon spirit so completely that its true form remained hidden.

“You’re courting death, human. Remain here and be my slave!”

The treasure demon spirit suddenly launched a ferocious attack. Terrifying treasure qi transformed into a sharp spike, tearing through space toward Chen Fan.

“So fast!” Chen Fan’s irises contracted, shocked by the speed of the attack. However, he didn’t panic and counterattacked instantly. A punch shot out, shaking the air.

Boom, tch!

Chen Fan’s punch destroyed the oncoming sharp spike.

“A mere treasure demon spirit dares to show off before me? Submit!”

He stepped forward, his aura overwhelming, suppressing heaven and earth. The iron-blooded aura of an army swept out from him, smashing toward the treasure demon spirit.

Rumble!

The two clashed, locked in a fierce battle. In the chaos, Chen Fan finally saw its true body: an emeici. [1]

“Excellent. I’ll bring you down and give you to Senior Sister. You’ll definitely make for a pretty decent gift.”

An emeici was a woman’s weapon; whether for Duanmu Lingxing or Zhuge Mingyue, it would be well received.

“Damned human, you want to bring me down? Not a chance!”

Under Chen Fan’s bombardment, the treasure demon spirit cried out repeatedly and frantically counterattacked, but he was terrifyingly powerful, and his physique was unrivaled. He met every attack head-on without hesitation.

“

Ahhh

, human, I’m furious! You have truly angered me!”

Chen Fan’s attacks had forced the treasure demon spirit back repeatedly. Roaring furiously, it suddenly withdrew its tumbling treasure qi.

Next, it revealed its true form: an emeici.

“Good, good, good, it’s actually an immortal artifact. No wonder it’s so powerful!”

He had suspected its identity; now, he knew for sure. The treasure demon spirit belonged to a low-grade immortal artifact.

Chi, chi, chi.

The emeici blurred forward, too fast for ordinary eyes, yet Chen Fan saw every movement. He grasped the situation effectively, tracking its trajectory with ease.

Rumble!

Ultimately, the emeici lost to Chen Fan despite its extraordinary strength. Its primordial spirit was blown apart, and it floated quietly in the air.

“The spirit of an immortal artifact is indeed powerful. Even though my Hegemonic Golden Body has already reached the peak of level 46, it still pierced my flesh,” Chen Fan muttered.

The emeici had managed to pierce his flesh numerous times, making him look battered. Thankfully, the wounds were shallow, hardly worth notice.

Just as Chen Fan put away the emeici, a powerful pressure appeared, and an icy, dry voice rang out.

“Brat, hand over the emeici!”

Next, a tall and sturdy-looking man appeared before Chen Fan, releasing his Void Immortal-level pressure to force him to submit.

However, golden light blossomed from Chen Fan, easily resisting the pressure.

“Who are you?” Chen Fan looked at the other party and asked coldly.

“I am Wanderer Jin Hai. If you know what’s good for you, obediently hand over the emeici, and I’ll spare your life,” Wanderer Jin Hai said indifferently, as if Chen Fan’s fate rested on a whim.

“Hoho, letting me kill the treasure demon spirits, then swooping in to steal my prize... What a fine plan,” Chen Fan said with a cold smile, unfazed by the fact that his opponent was a Void Immortal.

“Hmph. Hand it over or die. If you weren’t a Featherlight Sect disciple, you wouldn’t even get to choose,” Jin Hai said, voice sharpening like a blade. It seemed as if he would immediately strike Chen Fan fatally if he refused.

“Let’s fight then!”

Chen Fan’s tone left no room for negotiation.

Before breaking through to Invincible Legendary, he might have yielded. Now, not only did he feel no fear, but a spark of anticipation flickered within.

“What a bold brat. Since you seek death, I’ll grant it!”

Naturally, Wanderer Jin Hai saw Chen Fan’s eager expression. He was furious inside, and his expression was ugly, as this was a serious provocation against him, even insulting.

He was a Void Immortal-level expert, an existence on the cusp of becoming immortal. Chen Fan was only in the Invincible Legendary realm. Shouldn’t he be trembling in fear when he saw him?

Yet this youth looked at him as if he were just another opponent. It was a provocation—an insult.
