Chapter 1474 - Ultimate Test

“What could be beyond these gates?”

Chen Fan looked at the starry gates ahead, his eyes flickering.

He looked with his Eyes of Breaking Deception, but couldn’t peer inside.

“Who knows? We’ll find out once we enter these gates.” Luo Wushuang shrugged and said, “This place even had divine objects from the primordial era, like the Sacred Radiance. As the terminal point of the ancient city, what lies beyond these starry gates can’t be simple.”

“Is that so?” Chen Fan muttered softly, “If that’s the case, I must go explore. What if I could become a Sage on the spot if I stepped into it? Wouldn’t that save me thousands of years of cultivating?”

“You’re only a Void Immortal, though.” Luo Wushuang rolled his eyes.

The starry gates were bound to hold great fortune behind them, but not that great a fortune. And very likely, a great terror guarded that great fortune.

“Hehe, since Brahma created the Brahma Ancient City, he must have considered that only those below the Immortal realm would enter, right? He wouldn’t design a test just to have us throw our lives away. And besides, having come this far, how could I possibly turn back now?”

Chen Fan’s heart swelled with excitement. The thirst for adventure burned deep in his bones. As the saying went, fortune favored the bold.

Had he not endured countless trials between life and death, how could he have possibly reached this point?

True, the miraculous fortunes he’d obtained played a part; without the courage to venture into the unknown, even those heaven-defying opportunities would have been meaningless. Without that unyielding will, perhaps he’d still be struggling to survive somewhere back on the Tianwu Continent.

“Haha, that is indeed so. Let’s go together, then.”

Luo Wushuang clenched his fists tightly, his gaze blazing.

“Let’s go.”

Chen Fan couldn’t wait any longer. He strode forth, stepping into the starry gate. Next, he found himself in another void.

This was a world of nothingness. Luo Wushuang was gone; only he was here.

Rays of light shone down on him. Suddenly, a burst of incomparably blazing hot radiance shone from the depths of the world of nothingness, as if a terrifying bird was rushing toward Chen Fan.

This monstrous bird was incredibly terrifying. Chen Fan had never seen anything like it before. It arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye. Its sharp claws that could destroy everything swiped at him, tearing everything.

Chen Fan unleashed his aura. Resplendent runic light blossomed and flowed around him, as if he could suppress and kill his enemies with just his physique. He unleashed a palm strike, seemingly capable of shattering the celestial bodies.

With a loud rumble, Chen Fan was pushed back.

Bloody light lingered around the ferocious bird. Runes illuminated the sky, containing boundless might. It was like a demonic bird from the ancient era. Its aura surpassed any other experts of the same cultivation level Chen Fan had encountered.

The ferocious bird’s eyes could ensnare a person and make them fall. It rushed out once more, leaving only a blurry trail. Endless runic light erupted, striking with violent force.

Chen Fan felt as if heaven and earth were changing colors. Countless incomparably terrifying demonic birds obscured the sky as they came rushing to attack him, wanting to tear him into pieces.

Chen Fan was shaken. He knew best how strong he was after undergoing the baptism of the Sacred Radiance.

Even for a top-tier ninth-stage half-immortal like Xuan Yang, Chen Fan could beat him easily with one hand.

He was now even a bit stronger than the brocade youth, becoming unrivaled under the immortal realm.

However, the bird was suppressing him in all areas, but the shocking thing was that the bird wasn’t in the Immortal Platform realm.

Indeed, there was always someone better, a sky beyond the sky, and a taller mountain.

The more Chen Fan realized this, the more excited he felt.

Would a divine vestige be awaiting him if he passed the terrifying trial of this starry ancient road?

With a furious shout, countless laws interwove inside Chen Fan in an instant. He sent out a palm strike so devastating that it could shatter the heavens, colliding with the other side’s attack.

A chaotic torrent swept through heaven and earth. Amidst this chaos, an unrivaled sharp claw tore through space, rushing toward Chen Fan.

Chen Fan was prepared. Terrifying golden light flowed around his palm as he punched, producing another earth-shattering boom.

The ferocious beast unleashed a storm of attacks in response, and Chen Fan met them with his unrivaled physique.

Chen Fan’s aura surged overwhelmingly, as if clad in golden armor, which was much more powerful than before. His attacks contained such immense might that the void space stirred violently.

Finally, an earth-shattering roar rang out. Chen Fan swelled, becoming a golden ancient god. He grasped the wings of the ferocious bird; with a shout, golden light flashed from him as he tore it apart.

The ferocious bird was reduced to nothingness, as if it had never been anything at all, yet its strength was indeed terrifying. It was a beast from the ancient era, able to tear apart most under the Immortal realm. Its grievance filled the sky, wanting to kill everything.

Light flashed ahead once more, as though another starry gate had emerged on the ancient road, with each step leading deeper into the void, toward the divine vestige that awaited worship.

Without hesitation, Chen Fan stepped forward with an incomparably sharp gaze.

Since he had witnessed the ancient city and come across a divine vestige, how could he not look into it?

If he wasn’t strong enough and was forced to retreat, he would have no regrets. However, if he lacked the courage even to try, how could he ever hope to reach the pinnacle of the martial Dao?

Following the ancient road through the starry sky, Chen Fan strode toward the starry gates, which looked like a vortex. It was as if he had stepped into the void, appearing in another plane of nothingness.

Above the endless void, another ancient fiendish god appeared.

This was a primordial violent ape. Its tyrannical aura was overwhelming, stirring the winds and clouds.

The fiendish god raised its massive club and smashed toward Chen Fan, stirring the void in an instant.

The club fell, seemingly capable of smashing an immortal into pieces, let alone someone below that realm.

That overwhelming murderous might caused Chen Fan to tremble. This ferocious beast’s attacking power was even higher than that of the ferocious bird from before.

A loud rumble rang out. Chen Fan grew to a thousand feet tall, standing as high as heaven and earth. A black spear formed in his grasp, wreathed in divine light. With a powerful thrust, he pierced through space and clashed against the primordial ape.

Rumble!

In the void, it was like a scene of heaven crumbling and the earth splitting.

Endless destructive storms swept out. Earth-shattering explosions echoed, as if they would never cease.

Chen Fan launched wide attacks, pressing forward continuously like a golden ancient god, charging toward the rampaging ferocious beast.

The furious beast bellowed, raising its club once more, its blow fierce enough to bury the sky itself. Yet Chen Fan descended like a golden deity, his power overwhelming. The clash of divine and demonic energies tore the void into pieces.

Chen Fan simultaneously unleashed an earth-shattering palm seal that could destroy the sun, moon, and the stars, annihilating all existences.

“

Roar

!”

The fiendish ape let out a furious roar that shook heaven and earth, shattering everything. The large palm seal rumbled loudly as it descended, only injuring the ape.

Even so, Chen Fan’s expression remained unchanged. The Wings of Rain Dragon appeared at his back, stepping forward like the lord of the sky, a rain dragon itself. He turned into a blur, and his demonic palm seals attacked relentlessly with endless rumbles.

The fiendish ape blocked frantically, letting out miserable screams repeatedly. Ultimately, with a rumble, Chen Fan suppressed and annihilated it, vanishing into the void.
