Chapter 1336 - Ominous Stars Alliance

Chen Fan said without hesitation, “I’ll take it!”

Since the reward for this mission was so rich, its difficulty would be shockingly high. However, he was confident enough to charge even into a dragon’s den.

“Young man, take it.” The elder handed a golden book to Chen Fan.

When Chen Fan received it, the golden book flashed. That elder smiled somewhat gloomily and said, “Young man, I forgot to tell you. You can’t abort the mission. To quit is to withdraw from the sect, punishable by lifelong imprisonment under the Featherlight Sect.”

“Oh?”

Chen Fan flipped open the golden book and saw the summary of the mission. A bandit group had risen in Chenzhou, a remote region of the Imperial Supremacy Heavenly Domain. They call themselves the Ominous Stars Alliance, led by the Nine Ominous Stars, each a Void Immortal expert, leaving devastation in their wake.

These ominous stars are mighty. The various immortal sects had attempted to eradicate them on several occasions, but they had all ultimately failed.

The sects had even mobilized Immortal Platform realm experts before. Whenever such powerhouses appeared, the bandits vanished like smoke; the moment the coast was clear, they returned to plunder, murder, and burn.

Their creed was simple: kill all, rob all, burn all. Their sins were countless.

“Ominous Stars Alliance, huh? I’ll go kill them all.”

Chen Fan accepted the mission and walked out of the Merit Hall.

“This disciple does seem a little arrogant and presumptuous. It’s a mission even Immortal Platform realm experts couldn’t complete. Those bandits are cunning and well-informed. I fear they already know we’ve issued this mission and are preparing for him.”

“Just wait and see. There’s not much hope anyway.”

“

Hmph

, it’s good to let this brat suffer a little. It’ll teach him that he’s not invincible just because he killed Lin Heng. In this world, there are more people stronger than Lin Heng than the sand in the river.”

The elders murmured, doubtful that Chen Fan could succeed.

......

Chenzhou, northwestern edge of the Imperial Supremacy Heavenly Domain:

It was a remote area, bordering a vast, boundless ocean, barren of resources.

Few sects existed here, and martial cultivation was weak; reaching the Immortal Platform realm was already enough to be called a top expert. Because of this, no one had ever suppressed the Ominous Stars Alliance, despite their endless crimes.

In a cave, the alliance chief of the Ominous Stars Alliance, the Earthly Fiend Star, was receiving reports from his subordinate.

“Chief, according to our information, a disciple named Chen Fan from the Featherlight Sect received a mission to eradicate us.”

The Earthly Fiend Star, leader of the Nine Ominous Stars, was tall, thin, and clad in a hideous devil mask: a green face with jagged fangs.

He was seated at that moment, with nefarious qi enveloping him. It seemed like countless grievous souls were wailing, and threads of law manifested around him, with golden light and lightning flashes, revealing his deep cultivation.

“What kind of character is this Chen Fan person?” asked the Earthly Fiend Star lazily, without lifting his gaze.

Over the years, eight hundred, perhaps a thousand, disciples had received the mission to eradicate their alliance. Not one had succeeded. All had become corpses beneath their blades.

So, the Earthly Fiend Star felt no concern when he heard of Chen Fan. It was just another fool who didn’t know the meaning of death coming to find out.

“Reporting to Chief, according to our information, Chen Fan is a rookie disciple who joined the Featherlight Sect a year ago, and he seems to be a genius from the lower realms...”

“Genius?!” The Evil Star, ranked second out of the Nine Ominous Stars, laughed coldly and said disdainfully, “The lower realms are nothing more than barren lands. What kind of geniuses could they have? Down there, they may shine. But up here, they’re worthless.”

“Hoho, Second is right, genius or not, too many have tried to eradicate us over the years, and how did it turn out? All of them have lost their lives. Chen Fan will be no exception. He’s a fool to dare oppose our Ominous Stars Alliance, so let’s kill him and refine his soul.”

The other ominous stars sneered coldly, disregarding Chen Fan.

“Our Ominous Star Fortress is hidden deep in the void. Few could ever locate it. Even if Chen Fan comes, he won’t find us. Should we reveal it, lure him in, and crush him?”

“You’re right. Given that person’s cultivation level, he can’t find our fortress. For years, we’ve poured resources into refining the Ominous Star Fortress, and it’s on the verge of advancing into a mid-grade immortal artifact. Even immortals would struggle to sense us.”

“Hoho, once the Chief ascends to the immortal realm, we’ll sweep through all of Chenzhou, wiping out all the forces here. We’ll head to other places and rob them clean again. In the future, we, the Nine Ominous Stars, will all be Immortals.”

“Recently, the assassins of the Skull Association sent us an invitation, and even used an immortal elixir as bait, but I won’t fall for their trap. Only after we reach the immortal realm will we be qualified to negotiate with anyone.”

Swish!

The head chief, Earthly Fiend Star, grabbed at the void, pulling a young woman in the Greater Legendary realm out of the prison.

She was the daughter of a patriarch from a clan he had annihilated, now reduced to his toy.

The young woman let out cries of despair, but it was useless. The Earthly Fiend Star ravaged her as he wished, until she let out a shriek and breathed her last.

Bang!

The young woman exploded into a mist of blood, which the Earthly Fiend Star absorbed.

“It’ll be even more perfect if my Nutrient Harvesting Divine Art can absorb the virgin essence of Void Immortal experts.” Earthly Fiend Star said with a savage, evil smile, “Brothers, open up the Ominous Star Fortress, lest that guy can’t find us. When I capture him, I will ravage him before killing him.”

Usually, to prevent surprise attacks, the Ominous Star Fortress would be hidden in the void, ensuring none could find it.

Soon, an enormous fortress appeared in the empty sky out of nowhere. It was none other than the Ominous Star Fortress.

The moment it appeared, mocking laughter rang out.

“Searching high and low, only to stumble upon it with ease! Did you really think you could hide from me?”

“You thought you could hide from me?”

Chen Fan had already forced his way inside. The outer defenses had failed; even the warning arrays hadn’t triggered. His infiltration skills had reached an astonishing level.
