Chapter 1641 - Half-step Immortal King Realm

“What? Chen Fan stormed Phantom Law Heaven alone, charged straight into the Apex Mystic City, and fought ten opponents alone. Three Half-step Immortal Kings died, and he captured seven others. After crippling their martial arts, he publicly sealed them outside the Featherlight City!”

“That’s only part of it. Nangong Xian and Jiang Tianyi were also present. Chen Fan reached across space, seized them instantly, and sealed them alongside the others.”

“I was there. I saw it with my own eyes. Huangfu Qing merely opened his mouth, and Chen Fan grabbed him like livestock, shattered his cultivation, and sealed him on the spot.”

“I’ve heard that the Apex Mystic Sect’s people captured Huang Wuji and the others because Nangong Xian and Jiang Tianyi orchestrated it behind the scenes. Later, an order even came down from a Demon Suppression senior forbidding anyone from rescuing them. It was clearly bait meant for Chen Fan.”

“And yet the trap backfired. Chen Fan crushed the whole scheme effortlessly, reduced them all to crippled wrecks, and forced them to kneel outside Featherlight City forever, to be mocked by passersby.”

“Chen Fan is too ferocious. Ten Half-step Immortal Kings, all top-tier figures, yet in front of him, they were no better than kittens, disposed of at will.”

“

Haaa

, regardless, it’s best not to mess with this fiend. The tide is in his favor now. I’m afraid even Immortal Kings cannot suppress him. On top of that, Heavenly Punishment Hall is backing him. That’s why he dares to act without restraint.”

“Indeed. Huangfu Qing only said a single sentence and paid with his cultivation. Chen Fan didn’t care in the slightest that he was a prodigy of the Demon Suppression lineage.”

“This time, the Demon Suppression lineage and the Apex Mystic Sect gained nothing and instead smashed themselves bloody against solid iron.”

“To be fair, Chen Fan’s move also brought great prestige to our sect and completely crushed the Apex Mystic Sect’s arrogance. I heard that they later sent several Half-step Immortal Kings into the Phantom Law Heaven to free the seven imprisoned Half-step Immortal Kings, only for all of them to cough blood from the backlash of the restraining art.”

As news of the incident within the Phantom Law Heaven spread, it quickly set off a storm within the Featherlight Sect. Everyone was shocked by Chen Fan’s overwhelming strength, ruthlessness, and brutality.

Even ten Half-step Immortal Kings together couldn’t put a scratch on him. Each was suppressed with a single strike and condemned to a fate worse than death.

He had already displayed immense strength by sealing Nangong Xian outside his cave, leaving even seventh and eighth-level Immortal Platform experts helpless against his restraints. His name had already begun circulating widely back then.

But Chen Fan’s strength was limited back then. Half-step Immortal Kings could still handle him. If not for Wan Yimei and Dao Xu stepping in, Jiang Tianyi would have severely injured him.

And yet how long had it been since then?

Barely a year or two had passed, and Chen Fan’s growth was explosive. Slaughtering Half-step Immortal Kings was now no different from butchering chickens.

Chen Fan paid no attention to the storm he had set off. After freeing Huang Wuji and the others, he entered the Earth-character secret realm to cultivate.

At the ninth level, he was essentially invincible under the Immortal King realm. However, his combat strength was still a hair’s breadth away from being comparable to an Immortal King.

While he was growing stronger, so were his enemies. Take the Golden Jade Pavilion’s Crown Prince Jin, for example. Rumors said he was already forcing his way toward the Immortal King realm and was on the brink of success.

Once he became an Immortal King, he would undoubtedly seek Chen Fan immediately. Preparation was unavoidable.

Earth-character secret realm:

The moment Chen Fan entered the secret realm, countless gazes locked onto him.

“Look, it’s Chen Fan. He came to the secret realm to cultivate.”

“Given his current strength, he could seize the number one secret realm among the disciples.”

“He must be preparing for his Immortal King breakthrough. I heard he possesses a Nine-Transformations Grand Mystic Golden Elixir. Once he steps into Half-step Immortal King, he could immediately ascend fully by consuming it and become an unrivaled powerhouse.”

“Looks like the sect is about to gain yet another Immortal King.”

Nearly everyone knew that he had defeated ten Half-step Immortal Kings of the Apex Mystic Sect, with seven of them still kneeling before the Featherlight City. Even deep inside the secret realm, the news had spread explosively. Many had already branded Chen Fan as someone absolutely untouchable.

Chen Fan ignored their discussions and sped through like a lightning bolt and reached the zone reserved for the top ten Earth-tier secret realms.

Grabbing a passerby, he casually asked who occupied the top ten. Then, without hesitation, he flung a Half-step Immortal King of the Demon Suppression lineage out of the third-ranked secret realm and took it for himself, igniting another wave of whispers.

The crowd murmured endlessly. Chang Ping, despite his rage, could do nothing after being expelled.

“Seeing is indeed believing. Chang Ping is no weakling among the Half-step Immortal Kings. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to occupy the number three secret realm. Yet Chen Fan tossed him out like trash.”

“How truly terrifying. I’m afraid Chen Fan really possesses strength on par with an Immortal King.”

The cultivation environment in the Earth-character secret realm was much better than the Man-character secret realm. The rich primeval qi of heaven and earth had turned into a liquid form.

Chen Fan entered the secret realm and immediately began his secluded cultivation.

Time passed like a blur. Three years had already passed.

Chen Fan had spent that time cultivating bitterly within the secret realm.

Boom, boom!

Currently, he resembled a Heaven-and-Earth furnace, roaring with blazing flames. Mountains of natural treasures and oceans of immortal stones surged within, releasing boundless energy.

Threads of law could be seen interweaving within Chen Fan’s blood, flesh, tendons, and bones, as if his bloodline was forged from the laws. This was the hallmark of an Immortal King law body.

Anyone witnessing this would be dumbstruck. Chen Fan hadn’t stepped into the Immortal King realm, yet he was already forging an Immortal King law body. It was utterly unheard of, and yet it was happening.

Boom!

His aura erupted like a dam shattering. Laws manifested into countless phenomena around him.

Swish.

Suddenly, Chen Fan’s eyes snapped open.

After three years of bitter cultivation, he was finally a Half-step Immortal King. Moreover, he had already forged his immortal king law body, pushing his combat strength above the threshold of the Immortal King realm.

“Good, good, good! The Immortal King realm is indeed powerful. Now, I feel like I can kill a Half-step Immortal King realm expert with a single punch. Even that half-step difference is like heaven and earth.”

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, a brilliant light flickering.

Just as Chen Fan broke through in his cultivation, an extraordinary figure arrived at the Earth-character secret realm. A vast Immortal King pressure swept outward, suppressing oceans and shaking all beings with fear.

A man in golden robes appeared. His features were refined, his expression domineering, and a crown rested upon his head. With a single step, he crossed an immense distance and appeared instantly outside Chen Fan’s secret realm.

“Chen Fan, come out here!”
