Chapter 1494 - Martial Dao I am King

Boom!

Chen Fan unleashed an incomparably domineering aura that collided with Ji Lanshan and the others’ Great Dao auras.

Ji Lanshan and the others’ Great Dao auras flickered wildly, like flames struggling in a harsh wind or a fragile boat facing certain capsizing on a stormy sea; their faces underwent dramatic changes instantly.

Everyone had expected his martial Dao to be very powerful, but no one expected this: one man shaking all of their collective Great Dao auras.

“What a powerful martial Dao aura!”

“My god, the moment he released his Great Dao aura, I felt as if I heard the roars of a ferocious beast, making my scalp tingle.”

“It’s no wonder he’s so strong, killing ninth-stage half-immortals like slaughtering poultry. It all makes sense.”

“Compared to Chen Fan’s Great Dao aura, Ji Lanshan and the others’ are like fireflies against the moon.”

Chen Fan’s Great Dao aura also left the crowd shaken.

It felt as if a dam had collapsed, a volcano erupted, a tsunami struck, and even the mighty Mount Tai was crashing down, all in that single instant.

Around Chen Fan, the laws of Great Dao subtly gathered and condensed into the silhouette of a hegemon lifting a cauldron.

The domineering aura instantly suppressed all other martial Dao.

Chen Fan’s martial Dao was incomparably domineering. The Heaven Seizing Art he cultivated plundered the luck of heaven and earth, transforming him into a divine furnace that refined everything between heaven and earth. It was truly boundlessly domineering.

The Hegemonic Golden Body Mantra raised his dominance to greater heights. He became a tyrant who, ruling by sheer might, brushed aside all who dared block his path.

Chen Fan’s Great Dao aura was like an edgeless, heavy sword, unadorned perfection. It gives off a sense of oppression that crushed all, suppressing the numerous Great Dao auras.

This left many people in shock.

“How is this possible?”

Some ninth-stage half-immortals flushed red under the suppression of Chen Fan’s Great Dao aura. Beads of sweat formed on their foreheads.

His Great Dao aura was too domineering. It completely crushed them.

They had a strong feeling that if they collided with Chen Fan’s Great Dao aura, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock. And just to be clear, they were the eggs. They would be smashed into pieces in an instant.

Behind Chen Fan, the hegemon’s silhouette began chanting his Great Dao like a divine being. This was a fundamentally different Dao: aggressive, yet sturdy beyond all measure. With every chant, Chen Fan’s aura grew denser and more potent, and his dominion soared skyward, colliding with everything in its way.

Some people immediately withdrew their Great Dao aura, worried that Chen Fan’s Great Dao would shatter their Dao, also shattering their Dao heart consequently.

However, people like Ji Lanshan and Xiao Ruyue, whose resolve in their own Dao was incomparably firm, didn’t withdraw their Dao. Instead, they clashed with Chen Fan.

Although Chen Fan’s Great Dao was very powerful, and they couldn’t win against him, that was fine. They let their auras clash head-on with Chen Fan’s, risking defeat for a chance to learn from his insight.

Boom, boom, boom!

Their Great Dao collided against one another. Dao sounds echoed, and the display of Dao phenomena was extravagant.

Though Chen Fan’s Great Dao was overwhelming, he carefully controlled its intensity, taking care not to truly break his peers’ Daos, as that would spark deep enmity. After all, they were here not as enemies, but to exchange insights. Breaking another’s Dao was as grievous as stealing a beloved spouse: a wrong that could only end in blood.

“Wonderful, this Dao sound is truly wonderful.”

Many people found the sound of the collisions between the Great Dao auras to be like music to their ears, becoming deeply immersed in the experience.

They were all prides of heaven with an adequate cultivation level. The gap in their understanding of the Dao wasn’t too great. So, this Dao exchange was most suitable for them.

Had they participated in a debate among immortal-level experts, like kings or emperors, they would’ve understood nothing. They would be listening to the recitation of a celestial scripture, but to them, it would be unintelligible and potentially dangerous, possibly even injurious to the inattentive.

After all, a sovereign’s comprehension of the Dao far surpassed Chen Fan and the others; the gap between them was that of an adult compared to a toddler.

One was about to seek to validate their own Dao, while the other barely began to speak. Could the two ever be considered equal?

Time slowly passed amidst the collisions.

Three days went by in the blink of an eye.

Chen Fan’s Great Dao aura collided with Ji Lanshan and the others’ non-stop, taking in the essence and discarding the impure. Each made their own gains, and their Great Dao auras slowly grew stronger.

During a lull, Chen Fan, who’d been quietly lost in thought, suddenly looked up; a glimmer of wisdom lit his eyes, joy blossoming on his face.

“The mountain is high, but the man who stands atop it is higher. I am king on the path of martial arts!”

Chen Fan uttered a sentence that echoed in the ears of the crowd like a giant bell. Countless people’s hearts skipped a beat.

They all gazed at Chen Fan.

In an instant, they sensed a change in Chen Fan’s martial Dao.

Within that air of dominance, there seemed to be something different, allowing that dominance to metamorphose, becoming even more domineering.

The words Chen Fan had said startled them.

I am king on the path of martial arts!

What a brazen claim.

The path of martial arts was a long and arduous journey that had no end. None would ever dare to claim that they were the king of the martial Dao.

Yet Chen Fan had done exactly that. He aspired to reach the very pinnacle as the king of the martial Dao itself.

These three days sharpened Chen Fan’s once-hazy vision of his path. He now saw with perfect clarity that he would pursue the King’s Road atop the martial Dao.

The king on the martial Dao, the royal path!

The hegemon’s silhouette behind Chen Fan grew clearer and more solid. Now, the crowd could see the originally blurry face; it bore a resemblance to Chen Fan.

“Hahahaha, I, Chen Fan, thank everyone here. Today, I have found the path I have to walk and have gained immensely. Thank you again, everyone.”

Chen Fan’s crisp voice echoed as he withdrew his Great Dao aura.

“You flatter us, Brother Chen.”

“We also learned a lot from Brother Chen and gained much insight, giving us much more confidence in pushing for the immortal realm.”

Ji Lanshan and the others spoke up one after another, their faces beaming with joy. They had also benefited immensely in this Dao exchange.

Each of them had benefited from the three days of Dao exchange. No one wasted their time here.

Everyone woke up from their state of enlightenment, not feeling the slightest fatigue. Instead, they all felt rather exceptionally spirited.

Many, in fact, regretted the meeting’s end. They had savored every moment, drinking deeply of the wonderful atmosphere and reaping immense benefits.

“Everyone, the Dao Exchange Meet ends here. I’m sure everyone has made their own gains. Your cultivation will surely improve rapidly after contemplating it. I, Chen Fan, shall congratulate everyone here in advance.”

Chen Fan’s voice echoed far and wide.

“Now, I declare that the Dao Exchange Meet is over. Let’s disperse.”
