Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 415 - Not Only Failing But Also Suffering a Loss

Outside the Mountain of Seals:

Young Master Xue Yi, Sword Venerable Ling Yun, Yin Yang Scholar, and others arranged the Great Destruction Formation.

At Yin Yang Scholar’s command, countless minions split up and flew in different directions, occupying various positions.

“Say, why do you think Daoist Corpse Spirit pulled that brat Chen Fan into the mountain?” Young Master Xue Yi said with a chuckle.

Once they destroyed the mountain and freed Daoist Corpse Spirit, they would all become great, meritorious servants. They would get generous rewards from him, so this was a heavenly opportunity.

Sword Venerable Ling Yun said, “Daoist Corpse Spirit has been under the seal for three thousand years, so he must be nearing complete exhaustion, his life force drained by the seal's power. His physical form likely deteriorated. He should be thinking of taking over that brat’s body.”

“That’s right, Daoist Corpse Spirit must be planning on gaining new life by possessing him,” Wanderer Hundred Poisons said.

Yin Yang Scholar said, “Regardless of Daoist Corpse Spirit's intentions, that brat is dead for sure. Let’s quickly set up the Great Destruction Formation and destroy the Mountain of Seals.”

As they conversed, they completed the arrangement of the Great Destruction Formation, occupying all directions and activating the geographical energies per Feng Shui principles, creating an unstoppable killing array.

“Quickly activate it and destroy the Mountain of Seals!” Yin Yang Scholar roared. His true primeval erupted thoroughly. Sword Venerable Ling Yun and the others didn’t hesitate either and used their powers to start the Great Destruction Formation.

Suddenly, the underground space shook. The earth split open as clumps of dirt coalesced into a colossal mountain, thrusting forth from the depths.

The demonic beings roared furiously in unison. Immediately, the dust and soil around rose and turned into a vortex. A terrifying spectacle unfolded, crackling as if heavenly lightning had ignited earthly fire.

Yin Yang Scholar and the others exerted their powers simultaneously.

“Break!”

A colossal ax materialized, descending ruthlessly upon the Mountain of Seals, its immense force capable of sundering stars.

Rumble!

The Mountain of Seals immediately erupted with resplendent light. The sealing runes on it flickered violently but remained unaffected. ƒrēewebnovel.com

“Again!”

Yin Yang Scholar and the others channeled their qi fiercely, activating the great formation, and launched attacks at the Mountain of Seals.

With much of its energy depleted, the Mountain of Seals wouldn’t last long if they attacked it continuously. And if they succeeded in destroying the mountain, they would succeed in freeing the suppressed Daoist Corpse Spirit.

Boom, boom, boom!

Deafening noises rang out. The entire internal space shook violently.

......

“Ah!” Daoist Corpse Spirit howled furiously, heedless of his surroundings. “What sorcery is this? My divine nascent is about to melt. How could this happen? Damn it, damn it!”

His divine nascent was locked in place by the golden light. A terrifying power kept melting his divine nascent, and death was slowly creeping up to him.

Daoist Corpse Spirit had been a dominant force during the ancient era, causing immense turmoil in the Hong Domain and killing countless orthodox path experts. His ferocious might was unrivaled, instilling fear among many denizens.

Numerous Heavenly Star realm experts had to join forces and ignite their life force just to suppress him. They could only keep him sealed here, wearing him down day and night with Heavenly Yang Sacred Water.

Yet, he didn’t die. He had thought he could easily possess Chen Fan, but to his growing horror, he realized that inside Chen Fan’s glabella was a force that could make him fear death.

“No! Break for me! Break!”

Fear gripped Daoist Corpse Spirit's divine nascent as it surged with immense power, even igniting its origin energy, hoping to break free from the golden chains and evade death. If this continued, his divine nascent would completely melt and he would die.

Daoist Corpse Spirit would face utter annihilation—not at the hands of a formidable foe, but at the hands of someone he had deemed insignificant, like an ant!

Meanwhile, as the small golden person and Daoist Corpse Spirit’s divine nascent fought, Chen Fan felt like he was standing at the epicenter of a cyclone, feeling like his soul was about to be torn apart. He was in extreme pain, making him roll around on the ground.

“Ahhh...” Miserable screams rang out from Chen Fan’s mouth.

Suddenly, the small golden person reached out with a palm. It seemed like an immortal was reaching out to grab the divine nascent.

Pop!

“No! Let me go! Let me go!” Daoist Corpse Spirit’s divine nascent was terrified and begged for mercy. However, it was all for naught.

The small golden person emanated an aura of supreme divine power. Daoist Corpse Spirit’s divine nascent was like ice, melting and transforming into a mass of pure energy.

Afterward, the small golden person withdrew its light as if nothing had happened.

Now that their fight was over, Chen Fan sat up, his clothes drenched in sweat, and rubbed his glabella. He came back to his senses after some time, his complexion pale.

Using his inner vision, he saw that aside from the small golden person, there was also a mass of energy emitting a gentle light in his glabella.

“Phew...” Chen Fan exhaled deeply, his eyes gleaming.

The small golden person had saved him again.

“Very well, the annihilation of Daoist Corpse Spirit's divine nascent marks the end of this ancient demonic powerhouse. I stopped the world from getting devastated it’s quite the achievement,” Chen Fan mumbled.

“And then there's this energy mass. Despite being only a fraction of its original size, considering Daoist Corpse Spirit was once a peak Heavenly Star realm powerhouse, even touching the threshold of the Nature Manifestation realm, its energy is formidable. Just this mass of energy should be enough to raise my cultivation by a few levels!”

Daoist Corpse Spirit's attempt to possess his body had backfired. Not only did he fail, but he even sealed his own fate and unwittingly became nourishment for Chen Fan's growth.

“Very well, with this energy mass and the Divine Stone of Life’s energy, I now have absolute confidence that I can thoroughly trample Duan Jingtian under my feet soon!”

An incomparably sharp light shone in Chen Fan’s eyes. Surviving such a monumental disaster had yielded incredibly bountiful rewards.

Not only did he acquire Daoist Corpse Spirit's divine energy, but also the invaluable pool of Heavenly Yang Sacred Water.

Rumble!

A deafening noise rang as the space shook violently.

Chen Fan concluded that Yin Yang Scholar and the others had started attacking the Mountain of Seals.

“Whatever, I’ll use Daoist Corpse Spirit’s divine energy to raise my cultivation first and wait for them to destroy the mountain. I’ll give them a huge surprise!”

Chen Fan’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

He had no way of leaving now, as he couldn’t break open the Mountain of Seals from the inside.

After all, even Daoist Corpse Spirit had to exhaust a huge amount of energy to tear a crack open.

Now, he could only wait for Yin Yang Scholar and the others to unleash the great formation’s powers to break it.

However, he also needed to increase his cultivation. Otherwise, facing Yin Yang Scholar and his allies would be useless, leading only to his death.
