Chapter 1150 - Conspire and Collude
Chen Fan first rose to fame on the Tianwu Continent a few decades ago during the Phoenix Stage event.
Due to the marriage alliance between the two overlord-class forces, the Ji Clan and the Sun Moon Divine Sect, countless eyes were fixed on the stage.
That day, he had defeated the Sun Moon Divine Sect's pride of heaven, Beishan Hong, and ruined the marriage alliance between the two overlord-class forces. That had nearly triggered a huge battle between two Void Immortals.
The arrival of the Featherlight Immortal Envoy, with Peerless Peak securing eight Immortal Draft Tokens, drew even more attention to Chen Fan.
By then, he was already a well-known figure across the continent, not just within a single region.
However, Chen Fan occasionally faded from public view.
For example, he vanished for twelve years while cultivating on the Myriad Demon Islands. People gradually forgot him as numerous prodigies rose to prominence and obtained Immortal Draft Tokens.
But now, he's returned, defeating the top talents of foreign forces single-handedly, even making them kneel in a row, publicly humiliating them. In doing so, he not only upheld the honor of the True Martial Academy but also restored the pride of Tianwu's martial world.
If he was once a prominent figure, he was now a household name across the continent.
Some even called him the savior of the Tianwu Continent!
Naturally, this spotlight has also turned toward the True Martial Academy, as Chen Fan was one of their own.
The prodigies of the other eight overlord-class forces had lost tragically against the disciples of the foreign forces.
The foreign forces' momentum had been at its peak when they tried to trample the True Martial Academy and shatter the martial spirit of the Tianwu Continent; instead, they met their downfall there.
Although the academy's own prodigies had been defeated earlier, before Chen Fan's return, his brilliance overshadowed those losses entirely.
As a result, countless people sang praises of the True Martial Academy for nurturing a pride of heaven like Chen Fan, calling him a role model for the entire continent.
Across the continent, the only thing people talked about was the battle at the True Martial Academy.
"Our Tianwu Continent's face is saved. Thank god."
"Hoho, you're wrong. If you want to thank someone, you should thank Chen Fan and the True Martial Academy."
"Right, right, you're absolutely right. I should thank them. It's thanks to them that our backbone remains unbroken."
"It's a shame I didn't see the battle myself. I heard that those foreigners couldn't withstand a single punch from Chen Fan. Chen Fan could've slapped them to death."
"I know, right? I heard they even tried to gang up on him in the end, but he still beat them like stray dogs, making them kneel in a row. I can almost picture it."
"I heard that although Chen Fan's cultivation is only at the Lesser Peak Manifestation realm, he has already mastered a hundred law threads, and his combat strength is at the level of a Legend. He's basically a Legendary realm expert."
"Yes, I've heard that too. The strongest disciple from the Tianxuan Sacred Sect, Wang Zhong, has also mastered a hundred law threads and thought he could act tough in front of Chen Fan. But in the end, he was nothing, completely outclassed. Chen Fan dealt with him in an instant."
"Chen Fan is our continent's savior and our role model. If you're going to marry, marry someone like Chen Fan."
"People should raise their children to be like Chen Fan."
"......"
At the heart of it all—the eye of the storm—Chen Fan remained silent.
For him, dealing with people like Xia Hou and Wang Zhong meant nothing.
His sights had already moved beyond them, toward the realm of Legends.
His legendary journey was just beginning; the road ahead remained long.
......
The Blood Heavenly Demon Sect:
Swish, swish, swish.
That day, the sound of wind being torn echoed as several Void Immortals descended upon the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect.
"To what do we owe the honor of your visit?"
Immediately, from inside the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect, the auras of four Void Immortal Supremes surged to the sky, looking at the visitors with sharp gazes.
The visitors were none other than the Void Immortal Supremes of the foreign continents, led by the Ziyang Palace's grand elder.
These foreign forces' arrival on the continent had set off a huge storm. The Blood Heavenly Demon Sect had long since gotten wind of their activities: their challenges, their provocations, and even their appearance at the True Martial Academy.
Were they here to challenge the prodigies of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect?
Noticing their hostility, the Ziyang Palace's grand elder smiled and explained, "Hoho, no need to be tense, Dao brothers, we didn't come to challenge you today. We have no ill intentions."
However, his explanation did not make the four Void Immortal Supremes of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect lower their guard.
It couldn't be helped.
A total of six Void Immortal Supremes had arrived at the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect. If their intentions were hostile, it could spell disaster.
The Tianxuan Sacred Sect's grand elder said, "Dao brothers, we've come today seeking cooperation."
The eyes of the four Void Immortal Supremes of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect flickered.
"Oh?" one of them, a dark-faced, iron-tower of a man, asked, "Cooperate? I don't see any shared interests between us."
The foreign forces' proposal caught them off guard; to the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect, there seemed little foundation for any alliance.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse us, Dao brother." The Ziyang Palace's grand elder smiled and said, "We have some understanding of the Tianwu Continent's history. The rift between your sect and the continent's other forces is deep, perhaps irreconcilable. That, we believe, is our common ground."
His words made the eyes of the four Void Immortal Supremes of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect flicker; they couldn't refute it.
The Ziyang Palace's grand elder continued, "We propose an alliance to jointly strike against the True Martial Academy and the other eight overlord-class forces!"
Those words made the hearts of the four Void Immortal Supremes of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect jump fiercely.
That dark-faced, burly man asked, "What do you mean? You intend to help us wipe out the overlord powers?"
"You jest, Dao brother." The Ziyang Palace's grand elder smiled and explained, "What we propose is this: we join forces to eliminate the prides of heaven, the top disciples of the nine overlord-class forces, within Nebulous Divine Palace's core area. What do you think?"
Naturally, they would not do this kind of losing business like helping the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect wipe out the nine overlord-class forces.
The four Void Immortal Supremes of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect exchanged glances, then the dark-faced, burly man smiled and said, "Gentlemen, please come inside."
