Chapter 585 - Dust Settled

“Where are the Battle Heaven Alliance members?” Yin Jiu roared angrily, desperate to rally the remnants of the alliance to unite and take down Chen Fan.

With Ye Cangxuan dead, Yin Jiu knew he couldn't face Chen Fan alone.

He didn’t want to die, but would Chen Fan show him any mercy?

Obviously not!

So, his only option was to assemble the remaining Battle Heaven Alliance members to encircle and attack Chen Fan, buying time for his escape.

The fate of these people was of no concern to him—he was only focused on saving himself.

However, no one answered his call even after ten breaths’ time.

The entire space was quiet. Only the sound of wind blowing could be heard.

The alliance members only looked at Chen Fan with pale faces. Yin Jiu’s plea was clearly a death sentence, and they weren’t foolish enough to walk into it.

Suddenly, wind-breaking noises rang out.

Swoosh, swoosh.

It turned out to be the Battle Heaven Alliance members retreating rapidly. Not only did they refuse to help, but they also pulled back further, fearing Chen Fan’s wrath if he survived.

Yin Jiu’s fate was of no concern to them.

Yin Jiu felt so frustrated he could vomit blood.

Chen Fan did not stop these people from leaving either.

They were only minions obeying Yin Jiu and Ye Cangxuan’s orders. The two of them were the real masterminds.

“It seems like no one will be helping you,” Chen Fan mocked, looking at Yin Jiu.

Yin Jiu’s expression became discouraged and defeated.

His plan to sacrifice the alliance members to save himself had failed. The members were obviously afraid of Chen Fan, not to mention they weren’t idiots. There was no way they would obey him now.

They had joined the alliance for a single reason: to avoid being bullied by others while competing for opportunities on Hidden Dragon Island.

Now that Ye Cangxuan had died and Yin Jiu’s death was imminent, the Battle Heaven Alliance was all but wiped out. After barely surviving, was it worth it to throw their lives away now?

They hadn’t followed Ye Cangxuan or Yin Jiu out of loyalty—why would they serve as human shields for Yin Jiu now?

Yin Jiu looked at Chen Fan, terrified. He hadn’t expected Chen Fan to turn the tables so completely, leaving him in this desperate situation.

“I am sure you never expected that things would end like this. Your trap ended up hurting yourself. Even your subordinates have forsaken you. Any last words?” Chen Fan looked at Yin Jiu indifferently, seemingly looking at a corpse.

Yin Jiu’s expression became calm all of a sudden. He stared fixedly at Chen Fan and said coldly, “I regret not hunting you down personally when you still hadn’t matured. None of this would have happened if I had.”

“Ridiculous!” Chen Fan laughed, shaking his head in disdain. “It wouldn’t have mattered even if you had. You’re no match for me now, and you wouldn’t have been back then either.”

Yin Jiu remained indifferent.

Chen Fan’s words were not wrong.

Yin Jiu was now in the eight-revolution Golden Core realm. Naturally, he could easily kill the Chen Fan from before with his current cultivation; unfortunately, that wasn’t his cultivation level back then.

“Your mistake was provoking me. You thought you could bully me into surrendering my Martial Dao Will fragment because I am alone. The second you made the decision, your fate was sealed,” Chen Fan said indifferently.

“Hahahaha!” Yin Jiu laughed out loud coldly and shouted, “The winner is king. I lost today because I’m not strong enough, but it won’t be easy for you to kill me. Die!”

As Yin Jiu shouted angrily, he came rushing over with his large ax, wanting to split heaven and earth apart and return it to a state of primal chaos.

He was at the end of his rope now.

Since Chen Fan would not let him off, he might as well fight him to death. Even if he had to die, he would not make it easy for Chen Fan.

Yin Jiu ignited his golden core. His aura instantly soared, rolling and tumbling.

He had no other way.

Chen Fan remained unmoved. He sent a palm strike to slash the aura. A large golden palm swept across the sky, blasting toward Yin Jiu.

Puchi!

Yin Jiu spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood and was pushed back several steps.

“I’ll send you on your way!”

A cold, fierce light shot out from Chen Fan’s eyes. He strode forth imposingly, stirring up a vast aura behind him, suppressing heaven and earth and causing the space to rumble. Yin Jiu was oppressed to the point of being pushed back, unable to hold himself together, his eyes flickering.

Too powerful!

Chen Fan was too strong!

Despite igniting his golden core and gathering the powers of heaven and earth, Yin Jiu was being crushed under this terrifying aura.

Chen Fan’s attacks were becoming faster, beating Yin Jiu relentlessly. He kept spewing blood repeatedly as he flew around like a leaf in the wind, powerless to retaliate at all.

The crowd was simply stupefied.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

Yin Jiu’s bones cracked and shattered. Fresh blood dripped onto the ground.

The crowd looked at one another in disbelief. Was Yin Jiu going to die like this?

Bang!

Chen Fan sent Yin Jiu flying with a palm strike. He crashed into a mountain peak in the distance, pulverizing it.

“Die!”

Chen Fan condensed a Heaven Piercing Spear in his hand and hurled it out.

Boom, tch!

The Heaven Piercing Spear pierced Yin Jiu again, the momentum carrying him backward. He collapsed several mountain peaks before getting nailed to a hundred-foot-tall mountain.

Everyone was at a loss for words.

Yin Jiu had fallen as well, crushed by Chen Fan, and was nailed to death on a mountain.

This moment became an indelible memory, a mental image seared into the minds of countless onlookers. As they gazed at Chen Fan’s invincible figure, awe filled their eyes. Who could possibly stand against someone like him?

Li Yao?

Though Li Yao was immensely powerful, even he might not be a match for Chen Fan.

“The show has come to an end. How spectacular. It’s time to go.” Li Yao took one last, deep look at Chen Fan before finally waving his hand and leading the Heaven’s Equal Alliance members away with a sense of majesty.

It was clear that challenging someone like Chen Fan would only lead to trouble.

“There’s still twenty days left. I must advance to the Divine Nascent realm before the trial ends. Otherwise, crossing the Sacred Road will be nearly impossible,” Xuanyuan Po said, his interest waning as he departed with his people.

“Let’s go.” Qiu Yuexin did not say anything. She had a cold and cheerless personality. Now that the curtains had closed on the huge battle and the dust settled, it was time for her to leave and seize the time to search for the final opportunity.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Soon, the four major alliances’ people left in succession.

Although the two supreme geniuses, Ye Cangxuan and Yin Jiu, had perished, their fall brought about the rise of a new star: Chen Fan.

Soon, the people who came to watch the show also left.

Swish, swish.

Xiao Zhen and the others flew over. He looked at Chen Fan and said, “How are you, Chen Fan? Are you alright?”

Chen Fan shook his head and said, “Nothing major. Just that I’ve exhausted myself a little too much. I got you guys into trouble this time.”

“You’re not to be blamed. We can only say that the Battle Heaven Alliance’s people are too shameless and despicable.” Xiao Zhen and the others shook their heads one after another.
