Chapter 1565 - Immortal Kings Enter

Chen Fan felt incredibly refreshed.

His cells sang with delight. Countless immortal Dao laws swept out from his acupoints, and the immortal marks inside him grew even thicker.

The vast energy of the Phoenix Flame Immortal Fruit was rapidly refined through his brutal clashes with the demon jiangshi, pushing his cultivation yet another step forward.

“

Hehe

, thanks a lot. Without your help, it would have taken me much longer to enter the fourth-level Immortal Platform realm. Since you’ve already done this much, you might as well see it through and help me stabilize my cultivation, too.”

Before Chen Fan’s voice fell, he lunged forward like a ferocious tiger. His aura was now ten times stronger than before, and the entire space trembled violently.

A terrifying streak of sword qi shot through the air and slashed down in a flash.

The demon jiangshi roared angrily, realizing that Chen Fan had used it as a grinding stone to push his cultivation further. It bellowed toward the sky, gathering its power; then a faint, raspy voice resounded, “Corpse Dao Lone Sovereign!”

In the blink of an eye, endless corpse qi converged upon its fist. It was as if all the corpse qi within several miles had been summoned and condensed, forming a miniature corpse Dao kingdom.

Within this corpse Dao kingdom, a corpse god sat enthroned. His gaze was icy as he overlooked the world like a monarch surveying his domain; beneath him, an inexhaustible army of jiangshi marched across the land, conquering territory in his name.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, knowing that the demon jiangshi was going all-out.

“Good, eat my Seven Stars Fist Art!”

Immediately, a star atlas materialized behind him, spinning, shifting the position of the stars. It was as if he were stepping across seven great stars; with each punch, he toppled a star and hurled it straight at the demon jiangshi.

Rumble!

The two terrifying attacks collided head-on, setting off a destructive storm and pushing back both Chen Fan and the demon jiangshi.

He had already transitioned from being passively beaten to fighting on even footing. He was no longer inferior to the demon jiangshi in direct combat.

Moreover, as the last bit of the Phoenix Flame Immortal Fruit’s energy was refined, his cultivation would fully stabilize; when that happened, his strength would climb another level.

“Sinful beast, face your doom!” Chen Fan stopped his retreat. Sharp light radiated from his eyes. He shot forth like an arrow fearlessly, ready to fight to the death with the demon jiangshi

He planned to fully utilize the demon jiangshi’s power to stabilize his realm completely and erase any lingering hidden injuries.

“

Waghhh

!” roared the demon jiangshi, stepping forth in an imposing manner. The corpse qi around it swept like a storm, shaking the universe.

Horror suddenly flashed across its aimless eyes. Even its dazed mind sensed Chen Fan’s terror.

Boundless corpse qi transformed into one terrifying attack after another, clashing fiercely with Chen Fan.

Boom, boom, boom!

Endless demonic qi collapsed. Chen Fan fought heartily, his blood boiling. His cultivation became fully stable, with not the slightest trace of instability or emptiness.

Suddenly, the demon jiangshi laughed carefreely. Radiant bursts of light erupted from its body, signalling that it was about to fully ascend into the rank of an iron armored demon jiangshi.

“

Ohohoh, ohohoh

.”

Chen Fan’s expression changed.

“Not good, this beast is also on the verge of advancing!”

The demon jiangshi was already frightening, comparable to a seventh-level Immortal Platform realm expert. Once it evolved, its cultivation would firmly step into the seventh level; at that point, Chen Fan would be no match for it.

Forget it. Although my strength has increased, it’s only on par with the demon jiangshi before its breakthrough. I can’t kill it. I’d better leave first.

Chen Fan’s thoughts raced like lightning, and the notion of retreat quickly took root in his mind.

He wanted to slay this demon jiangshi, but he wasn’t strong enough, so he could only give up.

Immediately, Chen Fan moved. He turned into a stream of golden light and sped off into the distance.

The demon jiangshi had no intention of stopping him either, for it was at a critical juncture in its breakthrough.

......

Three months later, more and more experts gathered in the sealed land.

As the news spread, various groups found ways to transmit information out from the herbal garden island, stirring up immense waves across the Chaotic Demon Sea. No one had expected that an ancient battlefield, a sealed land, would be hidden within the herbal garden.

The moment the news was confirmed, the major powers across the sea domain stirred. Many king-level factions mobilized their Immortal Kings; soon, nearly a dozen Immortal Kings gathered outside the herbal garden.

Although the herbal garden’s barrier was incredibly powerful, the dozen or so Immortal King realm experts joined hands and shattered it after expending some effort.

The crowd rushed into the herbal garden island like a swarm of locusts at once, heading straight for the sealed land.

The sealed land had captured the hearts of innumerable people; everyone hoped to obtain a share of the opportunities hidden within.

The Immortal Kings went straight to the depths of the sealed land. Previously, Chen Fan also sensed the pressure emanating from those powerful Immortal Kings and understood that the experts outside had finally entered.

During the past three months, Chen Fan had been wandering around continuously, killing demons and vengeful spirits to train himself and consolidate his strength.

Chen Fan also studied the demonic sword during this period and gained recognition from the embryonic artifact spirit within it. He could now display immense power, gaining a fierce reputation as the Demonic Swordsman here.

As month after month passed and more cultivators poured in, small markets gradually formed in various corners of the sealed land; many martial artists chose to rest and trade in these makeshift bazaars.

Since so many martial artists had gathered here, their robust vitality also drew many demons to them. That was especially true for demons that only had a spirit form. They were desperate to seize the bodies of powerful martial artists so they could escape this prison.

In fact, rumors of top-level experts being overtaken by spirits, then going on bloody killing sprees, had surfaced again and again over the past few months.

However, most martial artists didn’t think much of it. Since they chose to enter, they were prepared to meet such an end.

“Have you heard? The Star Origin Sect’s Qi Dong was blocked by the poison flame giant crocodile tribe at the east side of the market. Both Young Master Poison and Young Master Flame have appeared. It seems like they are determined to kill Qi Dong.”

“What? Surely not! Qi Dong is the young leader of the Star Origin Sect. There’s no way the poison flame giant crocodile tribe would dare to do that. Aren’t they afraid of the Star Origin Sect’s retaliation? I know for a fact that the Star Origin Sect has sent an Immortal King here.”

“Hehe, every last Immortal King has already rushed to the depths of the sealed land. Who knows what they are doing now? Besides, the crocodile tribe also brought two Immortal King realm experts, so they have no reason to fear the Star Origin Sect.”

“But why are Young Master Poison and Young Master Flame so intent on killing Qi Dong?”

“I heard that Young Master Poison and Qi Dong stumbled upon a great opportunity some time ago: a demonic sword on the verge of giving birth to a sword spirit. Young Master Poison almost had it in his hands, but someone else took it because Qi Dong interfered.”

“What, a demonic sword on the verge of giving birth to a sword spirit?

Tsk tsk

, no wonder.”

“Qi Dong is in trouble now. He can deal with one of them, but in a one against two, he’s sure to lose.”

Among the crowd, Chen Fan overheard these people’s discussion, and his eyes flickered.
