Chapter 1563 - Training

Demonic wind howled all around, as demons ran rampant everywhere.

Chen Fan delved deep into the sealed land, where he could clearly feel that the air had almost turned into pure demonic qi, growing increasingly peculiar. No one could tell how much resentment was mingled with that wicked, demonic qi. In the sky above, vengeful spirits coalesced, diving at Chen Fan with vicious shrieks.

The entire sky was filled with twisted demonic qi; some portions had even mutated into bizarre forms.

Boom!

Chen Fan threw a punch with the Seven Stars Fist Art. Vast stellar power erupted forth, tearing the boundless demonic qi before him into shreds.

Although the sealed land was fraught with dangers, it was also a great training ground.

“Excellent, I’ll kill these demons and vengeful spirits to temper my cultivation while searching for opportunities and treasures. It’s a perfect virtuous cycle, and I won’t have to worry about leaving any hidden damage behind!”

The idea delighted Chen Fan. The Bodhi Ancient Tree guarded his mind as he charged into the demonic qi, engaging in a fierce battle with the demons and vengeful spirits within, using combat to train himself and solidify his foundation.

In the boundless void, endless demonic qi howled, mixed with countless demons and vengeful spirits within.

A golden figure streaked through that darkness; it was Chen Fan.

His aura was powerful and terrifying. Ring after ring of law power spread outward, causing the surrounding demonic qi to explode. His aura seemed nearly uncontrollable, sweeping outward for the past ten days.

Ten days was a span so short it could pass in the blink of an eye; one might miss it just by looking away. However, they had been exceptionally fulfilling for Chen Fan.

Under such relentless slaughter, every cell in his body seemed to cheer; his law power flowed ever more smoothly, and his foundation grew increasingly solid.

Although he had run out of law power on several occasions during this time, he wasn’t stingy about using immortal stones to replenish himself. Through this high-intensity training, he intended to erase all hidden damage accumulated from his rapid cultivation.

The Immortal Platform realm could be considered another starting point on the path of martial arts. To advance further, one did not rely on talent alone; fortuitous encounters and a firm foundation were also essential.

A rock-solid foundation would allow him to climb higher in the future, avoiding the fate where everything he had built was riddled with flaws and on the verge of collapse.

After advancing in the Immortal Platform realm, even a peerless prodigy would need years of painstaking effort for each level. Ordinary martial artists might even need decades to do so.

Chen Fan, however, had taken less than a year from the moment he had become an Immortal to reach the third level. For both his second-level and third-level breakthroughs, he had relied on the power within an Immortal King’s arm and a Phoenix Flame Immortal Fruit.

Although the Heaven and Earth Furnace could refine away impurities in the energies, extracting only the purest essence, the process still did not amount to a step-by-step advance in his own cultivation; as a result, some flaws remained.

Such flaws didn’t matter when dealing with ordinary martial artists; if Chen Fan were facing the peerless pride of heaven, they could exploit them to attack him.

Chen Fan didn’t want any flaws on his path to martial arts, not even the slightest.

Only through battles of such intensity, treading the razor’s edge between life and death, could those hidden defects be hammered away. It was like forging steel: only by continuously striking and cleansing the metal of its impurities bit by bit could one forge a flawless weapon.

“

Gege

, human, offer up your body. With a body, I can finally leave this accursed place covered in darkness and wander freely in the vibrant world outside.”

A demon ahead spoke with an eerily enchanting voice, trying to sway Chen Fan’s will and make him willingly lower his guard, offering himself up. The voice transformed into waves of sound that tried to invade Chen Fan’s mind, but the Bodhi Ancient Tree blocked every trace of it.

“Trying to use such atrocious tricks on me? You picked the wrong guy!” Chen Fan sneered coldly. Golden light erupted from him as his fighting spirit soared. This demon was the most powerful opponent he had come across in the past ten days, as it was at the peak of the sixth level.

“Damned human, since you won’t comply obediently, don’t blame me.”

Seeing its technique fail, the demon flew into a rage, transforming into a gust of black wind that shot forward.

Swish!

Within that black wind, a ghost claw swiped out at lightning speed like a blur.

Countless ghostly flames blazed on the ghost claw, burning through the sky. Fiery light shot out everywhere as it swiped toward Chen Fan.

Chen Fan felt the air around him instantly ignite, turning into a terrifying inferno that crashed down upon him. It was not only a crushing physical pressure, but also an invisible mental oppression bearing down on his mind.

“Break!” Chen Fan shouted, throwing out a punch.

Rumble!

The ghost claw shattered the large star Chen Fan blasted out in an instant and continued rushing toward him, landing squarely on him and leaving a few white trails on Chen Fan’s Hegemonic Golden Body.

Rather than grow angry that its strike had failed to tear Chen Fan apart, the demon applauded gleefully and laughed in delight.

“

Gege

, what a powerful physique. Only such a physique is fit for me! Excellent, truly excellent!”

Chen Fan stumbled backward, his complexion slightly pale. His qi and blood churned violently. This demon’s strength was overwhelming, forcing him to suffer a heavy setback almost immediately.

However, he didn’t lose heart. His blood boiled even hotter, and his fighting spirit soared even higher.

“

Gege

, brat, you can’t possibly be a match for me. When I take over you, you’ll immediately break through to the seventh-level Immortal Platform realm,

gaga

."

The demon clapped its ghostly claws together, producing a harsh metallic clang. Next, it slashed down like lightning. The demonic qi filling the void swept up violently like raging currents, threatening to engulf and devour Chen Fan entirely.

All of Chen Fan’s acupoints opened up at the same time, spewing out endless sharp sword qi and tearing the demonic qi to shreds.

Two rays of blood-colored light shot out of the demon’s eyes, shrouding Chen Fan. Meanwhile, it turned into a ghostly mist and rushed directly into his mind, trying to take over him forcibly.

For the demon, escaping the restraints of this world was impossible without a physical vessel; that was one of the immutable rules of this realm.

Chen Fan’s vitality was extremely vigorous. For the demon, it was like a guiding beacon in endless darkness. Like a moth drawn irresistibly to a flame, it was determined to take Chen over Fan; only then could it truly break free.
