Chapter 1459 - Public Enemy

“From now on, I’m no longer with the Xiao Sect.”

Chen Fan’s voice reverberated in the tomb, shocking the crowd.

“Damn it, even if you sever ties with the Xiao Sect, you must leave the Wheel of Myriad Laws behind!”

“You’re not leaving!”

“Where do you think you’re going?”

The crowd was momentarily stunned, but they quickly came back to their senses and jumped at Chen Fan like madmen. They would never let Chen Fan leave with the Wheel of Myriad Laws.

Chen Fan glanced at the frenzied pursuers, consisting of humans and law creatures. Everyone wanted the wheel.

And whoever possessed the Wheel of Myriad Laws would face the same situation. It would be no exaggeration to say that Chen Fan had become public enemy number one.

“You want to stop me? With just you? Break for me!” Chen Fan shouted. Golden light erupted from him without restraint, like he was cast from gold. He charged into the crowd like a golden meteorite.

Poof, poof, poof!

“

Ahhh

!”

Chen Fan’s physique was now far more powerful than even low-grade immortal artifacts. It was now comparable to a mid-grade immortal artifact. Even seventh and eighth-stage half-immortals would be heavily injured even if he slammed into them.

The space was instantly filled with blood mist as humans and law creatures were slammed to death, their screams filling the air.

Suddenly, a ninth-stage half-immortal realm expert struck like lightning. A large hand reached out toward Chen Fan. “Bastard, hand over the Wheel of Myriad Laws!”

“Get lost!”

Facing the man’s attack, Chen Fan didn’t retreat in the slightest. He manifested an Eight Treasures Universe Cauldron with a shout, and he smashed it ferociously at that person. The space simply couldn’t withstand the impact, and cracks spread like spiderwebs across the air.

The terrifying Eight Treasures Universe Cauldron was like an iron mountain. It shattered the attack before crashing into the attacker, nearly smashing him into pieces on the spot.

In the entire Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm, aside from top ninth-stage half-immortals like Ji Lanshan, no other ordinary ninth-stage half-immortal would stand a chance against Chen Fan.

“

Uagh

!” That ninth-stage half-immortal realm flew out, spewing blood along the way. His face was filled with horror.

Chen Fan strode forth imposingly, his aura berserk. Grabbing onto the Eight Treasures Universe Cauldron, he swung it around wildly. Each strike sent out thunderous booms, turning human half-immortals and law creatures alike into blood mist.

The gusts he stirred were so fierce that even seventh-stage half-immortals would have their flesh ripped apart if they came too close.

Chen Fan was like a humanoid dragon, carrying the cauldron and charging ahead unstoppably. The Eight Treasures Universe Cauldron had become a supreme weapon in his hands, breaking through all obstacles in his path.

Those who dared charge at him were sent flying; none could stop his advance. Even those standing far away were forced back by the violent torrent of energy, though they fared better than those who had been smashed apart.

Soon, no one remained in front of him.

Without any hesitation, Chen Fan spread his Wings of Rain Dragon and turned into a streak of golden light as he tore through space, darting out of the tomb and vanishing into the passage he had come from.

However, the passageway ahead was still teeming with an endless army of law creatures; most were nothing more than cannon fodder. Even third-stage half-immortals were rare among them, while the majority lingered at the Legendary or Void Immortal level.

When those law creatures saw Chen Fan charging out, they launched a storm of attacks.

Chen Fan raised a single hand; with one sweeping motion, he dissolved the barrage completely. He flickered like lightning as he shot past, the Wings of Rain Dragon behind him slicing through the air like the sharpest blade in existence; countless law creatures were cleaved cleanly in half at the waist.

In front of Chen Fan, these law creatures were simply too weak. They were not even qualified to stand in his way.

Chen Fan charged forward like a hurricane, a force unto himself. Soon, he reached the spot where he had once broken through the formations: the escape route he had left behind. Without a moment’s hesitation, he surged forward and flew out.

With a swish, he exited the tomb and couldn’t help but let out a sigh in relief, feeling that the air outside was much fresher.

This operation was truly nerve-racking. It was a true act of snatching food from a tiger’s jaws, with death lurking at every turn.

Chen Fan didn’t dare linger around. After coming out, he soared into the clouds and disappeared.

......

A month quickly flew by.

During this past month, the entire Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm was buzzing with activity.

The appearance of the Heaven Interception Great Emperor’s tomb set off a storm in the entire Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm. Countless experts had gone into the tomb to fight for the treasures within.

However, the appearance of the Heaven Interception Great Emperor’s tomb was in fact a sinister plot set up by the law creatures. Their aim was to lure the people there and use their fresh blood as a sacrifice to open the final tomb and draw out the Wheel of Myriad Laws.

Because of this, the various forces suffered devastating losses during the expedition, with many half-immortal experts perishing in the chaos.

Amid the flood of news that followed, one particular revelation exploded like a bomb throughout the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm: the most coveted treasure of the tomb—the Wheel of Myriad Laws—had fallen into Chen Fan’s hands.

As soon as this information was spread, it set off a huge wave in the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm.

As information on the Heaven Interception Great Emperor was dug out, the crowd learned that he was an existence from the ancient era close to attaining enlightenment, a quasi-Sage.

Could the artifact of such a powerhouse be anything ordinary?

Not only that, news also spread that Chen Fan had obtained the legacy of Heaven Interception Great Emperor; otherwise, how could he have gained the recognition of the Wheel of Myriad Laws and seized it from the hands of so many experts?

This rumor carried even more weight than the earlier tale of him inheriting an Immortal Emperor’s legacy.

Countless people witnessed Ji Lanshan and the others trying to forcibly subdue the Wheel of Myriad Laws and failing; as soon as Chen Fan made an attempt, the artifact floated toward him as the aura of Heaven Interception Great Emperor erupted from him.

Some even claimed that Chen Fan’s massacre of those ancient emperor figures was because they contained fragments of his legacy.

With testimonies from countless people, the word quickly spread. Everyone determined that Chen Fan had definitely obtained the Heaven Interception Great Emperor’s legacy almost instantly. In just a short time, his name thundered across the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm.

After all, the people had poured an immense amount of effort into the exploration of the Heaven Interception Great Emperor’s tomb and suffered countless casualties, but they failed to gain anything in the end. Chen Fan, however, had not only obtained the Great Emperor’s legacy but also claimed the Wheel of Myriad Laws itself; in other words, he had taken everything for himself.

This drove countless people into a frenzy of rage and jealousy.

On what basis?

On what basis did they lose everything, while Chen Fan reaped all the rewards?

And thus, Chen Fan became the public enemy of the entire ancient realm.
