Chapter 1514 - Narrowly Escaping Death

“

Ah

!” A miserable scream left Xuan Gan’s mouth.

He pressed against his severed arm, fresh blood still gushing, and retreated with a ghastly pale complexion.

However, Chen Fan’s complexion was equally pale. His forehead was covered in cold sweat. His eyes shone with a vicious glint, and he threw Xuan Gan’s severed arm back to him.

On the thumb of this severed arm was a gray thumb ring: Xuan Gan’s storage ring. The ring had the compass that could track Chen Fan.

Fully aware that unleashing the Vicious Suppressor Saber at its maximum might couldn't kill Xuan Gan outright, Chen Fan opted for the next best solution: seizing the storage ring. With the prized item finally in his grasp, he exhaled, equal parts relief and exhaustion.

Earlier, he activated the Wheel of Myriad Laws first, using it as bait to hold Xuan Gan back, while his true killing move was the Vicious Suppressor Saber.

Each of these strikes consumed an immense amount of energy. Despite his robust reserve of law power, he could not support the expenditure. He had ignited one to two hundred thousand immortal stones to barely succeed.

Even though his plan had succeeded, Chen Fan was left completely drained.

Boom, boom, boom.

After igniting a large amount of immortal stones and pouring a bunch of elixirs down his throat, Chen Fan finally recovered some primeval qi.

He immediately activated the Vicious Suppressor Saber again, slashing at the carved wood statue that sealed the space.

Boom, tch!

The second slash again Chen Fan used up what little law power he had recovered. The vicious saber light fell on the carved wood statue, splitting it open.

Suddenly, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the carved wood statue. Then, a silhouette manifested.

“How dare you!”

Heaven and earth fell silent when this silhouette appeared. The laws of the Great Dao submitted to it, and the light of heaven and earth all gathered on the silhouette, as if it were the king of heaven and earth.

“Die!”

Wasting no words, the silhouette drove his palm down toward Chen Fan. Space collapsed. The resulting palm strike was so devastating that it felt as if the world would shatter.

The laws of heaven and earth disintegrated, turning the area into a domain of total restraint; Chen Fan couldn’t move an inch. He could only watch as the large palm seal drew close.

A look of utter despair overtook him. What kind of strength was that?

A silhouette had actually unleashed power that surpassed an Immortal King like Xuan Gan!

“No!” Chen Fan let out a furious roar from the bottom of his heart.

He tried struggling, but his efforts proved futile.

He couldn’t manipulate the laws in his surroundings. They even turned into law chains to bind him.

Yet, just as hope fled, an even mightier aura than Xuan Gan’s surged from within Chen Fan: the Heavenly Punishment Elder’s immortal will had ignited in response.

“Who dares to try to kill my disciple!”

It was a life-saving method that the Heavenly Punishment Elder had left with Chen Fan. It only sprang forth when Chen Fan stood at the razor’s edge of death, which was exactly where he teetered now.

The Heavenly Punishment Elder’s silhouette appeared before Chen Fan, restoring the frozen space to normal in an eyeblink.

“Sage Xuan, you—”

Before the Heavenly Punishment Elder could finish his sentence, the large palm seal had arrived.

“Audacious!” roared the Heavenly Punishment Elder’s silhouette furiously. Immortal light bloomed around him as he raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike.

However, the Heavenly Punishment Elder was only an Immortal Emperor, while Sage Xuan was a powerhouse who had attained enlightenment. While both of them were only trace wills, there was a huge gap in the power they could unleash.

Sage Xuan’s palm strike shattered the Heavenly Punishment Elder’s strike almost instantly, like it were tofu.

“Chen Fan, run!” Heavenly Punishment Elder left those words behind.

Immediately, the trace of immortal will burned, erupting with an even more powerful aura and rushing toward Sage Xuan.

Chen Fan’s eyes nearly popped out in anger.

“Master!”

Although this was only a trace of the Heavenly Punishment Elder’s immortal will, in Chen Fan’s eyes, it was no different from the elder himself.

Sage Xuan said indifferently at the sight, “A moth flying to a flame!”

𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Rumble!

With a loud rumble, the Heavenly Punishment Elder’s trace of immortal will self-detonated.

The destructive force it generated was extremely terrifying, comparable to the self-detonation of an Immortal King. Terrifying storms swept through the nine heavens, destroying the space.

Tears welled up in Chen Fan’s eyes. The frozen space was restored. Immediately, he activated the Void Shuttle to flee.

“Thinking of escaping in front of me?”

Sage Xuan’s silhouette had also dimmed at this point.

By now, Sage Xuan’s silhouette was fading. Although merely a fragment of Sage will, its power rivaled that of an Immortal Emperor, yet after the elder’s self-detonation, ninety percent of its might was gone.

“Die!”

However, even with only ten percent of its power remaining, the Sage will could still bring forth earth-shattering might.

Sage Xuan’s silhouette unleashed a punch. Yin and Yang evolved, inverting the universe.

It was also the Polar Divine Fist, but executed by Sage Xuan; it was the genuine Polar Divine Fist, unleashing its true power.

Chen Fan had already activated the Void Shuttle and was traversing through the void; in that instant, he felt as if the Grim Reaper had descended, flustering him. Finally, he truly felt the terror of a Sage.

“Wheel of Myriad Laws, block it!”

With blood seeping out of the corner of Chen Fan’s mouth, he ignited a hundred thousand immortal stones in an instant, which turned into a storm-like force that activated the Wheel of Myriad Laws once more.

Boom!

Sage Xuan’s strike landed on the Wheel of Myriad Laws. It let out a mournful wail as a terrifying force rushed into Chen Fan. His organs immediately ruptured, and even the Heaven and Earth Furnace couldn’t withstand the terrifying force, with cracks appearing on it.

The Heaven and Earth Furnace was the origin of Chen Fan’s strength. Receiving such a devastating attack, his vision turned black for a moment.

However, he couldn’t afford to hesitate. Gritting his teeth, he activated the Void Shuttle furiously and tore through space, disappearing.

Sage Xuan’s gaze seemed to pierce through the void. He saw Chen Fan escaping and couldn’t help but furrow his brow. However, the final strike had also depleted all of the Sage will’s power. So, he had no way to give chase.

“Sage Ancestor!” Xuan Gan walked up, pressing against his severed arm, trembling in fear.

The clan had assigned him such a vital task, and he messed it up in the end. One could imagine the Sage ancestor’s fury.

“Useless trash!”

Sage Xuan shot a glance at Xuan Gan indifferently. Leaving those words behind, the silhouette collapsed, and the carved wood statue shattered.

Xuan Gan’s complexion paled even more.

He looked at the devastating scene and was lost in thought for a moment.

Suddenly, Xuan Gan came back to his senses, a brilliant light shining in his eyes.

“No! There’s still a chance! I still have a chance! I still have a chance to make up for my failure as long as I bring Chen Fan’s head and the Wheel of Myriad Laws back to the clan!”
