Unrivaled Martial Emperor

With Mo Yue's death, the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect's schemes and its collusion with foreign forces failed.

After killing Mo Yue, Chen Fan took no further action.

To stop Mo Yue's self-detonation, he had forcibly launched another slash. His Hegemonic Golden Body barely held together, teetering on the brink of collapse, and even the Heaven and Earth Furnace struggled to suppress his injuries.

And there also wasn't a need for him to act now.

The elites of the various major forces were enough to deal with the remaining people.

Yan Weiyi and the other disciples of the True Martial Academy also flew over, forming a protective circle around him in case of any surprises.

While Chen Fan recovered quietly, the killing continued.

Facing the pursuit of the elites of the various major forces, the people of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect and the foreign forces couldn't resist; they were cut down like weeds.

The rogue cultivators didn't fare much better. Many were killed, and the rest scattered in panic.

Soon, the killing in the blind valley stopped.

No one from the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect or the foreign forces could escape.

The massacre had terrified the remaining rogue cultivators, making them scatter in all directions and hide to lick their wounds.

After resolving the situation, the people of the various major forces didn't linger and left with their people.

Soon, only the disciples of the True Martial Academy were left in the blind valley.

But unlike during their entrance—with a hundred strong—only twenty to thirty survived, a stark reminder of the heavy losses they had suffered.

The academy's losses were the heaviest among the various major forces.

Due to Chen Fan, the people of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect and the foreign forces focused heavily on the academy disciples, making them prime targets during the chaos. Many enemies actively hunted them down.

Yet, no one complained.

Everyone had anticipated this outcome before entering the core area.

How could one expect to gain opportunities without paying a price?

The surviving members of the True Martial Academy sat down cross-legged on the spot to recover.

Half a day later, these people left in small groups of three or five.

The exploration of the core area wasn't over, and staying by Chen Fan's side wasn't an option.

Thus, only the four disciples of the Peerless Peak were left guarding Chen Fan.

Time flew quickly, and three days passed.

Chen Fan hadn't moved a muscle, sitting cross-legged in silence the entire time.

Finally, he opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of grey, turbid qi.

"Phew."

Yan Weiyi, Zhuge Mingyue, and the others asked with concern, "How are you feeling, Little Junior Brother?"

Chen Fan had played the key role in thwarting the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect and the foreign forces' conspiracy.

Had he not killed Xia Hou, Xue Yin, and the others by himself, the rest of the disciples from the major forces, despite combining forces, would've been no match for five Legend-level experts.

In short, Chen Fan had saved their lives.

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Senior Brothers and Sister, I'm fine. I'm already mostly recovered."

"That's good." Yan Weiyi and the others nodded.

Chen Fan scanned his surroundings. Seeing everyone had left and only the traces of the huge battle remained, he said, "They all left?"

Yan Weiyi replied, "Mmm, they left three days ago. The core area is vast; everyone's scrambling to find opportunities and grow stronger. Especially after your fight, people are digging for treasures like madmen."

Chen Fan knew Yan Weiyi was referring to the Vicious Suppressor. He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "They've got it wrong. I didn't obtain the Vicious Suppressor here, it was a trophy from the ancient battlefield after I killed Huo Qi."

He recounted how he obtained the Vicious Suppressor.

Zhu Yue laughed out loud, "Hahahaha, so that's how it is. In that case, we really should thank Huo Qi. If it's not for him, you might've been in real danger. And the best part, he was from the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect. I wonder if their higher-ups would cough blood if they found out."

Yan Weiyi, Jian Qi, and Zhuge Mingyue also couldn't help but smile.

They hadn't expected a member of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect to "gift" him the saber.

Chen Fan said, "I wonder when the Nebulous Divine Palace's palaces will appear. The real opportunities and legacies are in there."

Yan Weiyi and the others withdrew their smiles and nodded. "That's right. Although the core area has quite a few opportunities and treasures, they're nothing compared to what's hidden in the palaces."

"Yeah, but no one knows if those palaces are even here," Jian Qi said.

Zhuge Mingyue clapped her hands and said, "Let's go. Since we're gathered here, let's move together. It's safer."

"Alright." Chen Fan did not object to it.

The opportunities in the core area weren't very attractive to Chen Fan, but it was useful for Zhuge Mingyue and the others. Acting as their bodyguard for once, he didn't mind.

Suddenly, a change occurred.

Rumble!

A silhouette suddenly appeared in the sky—a cluster of buildings.

Countless palaces, pavilions, and grand halls stretched endlessly, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, casting light across the entire core area.

In the blink of an eye, the silhouette solidified, like a heavenly palace suspended above the nine heavens, boundlessly magnificent.

All of this appeared out of thin air. Such methods were beyond imagination and shocking.

"This is... the Nebulous Divine Palace?" Chen Fan sucked in a breath of cold air, shocked to his core.

A fiery look showed in his eyes involuntarily.

Even he couldn't resist the temptation of such a legacy. Who knew what treasures or trials awaited inside?

"The Nebulous Divine Palace has appeared!"

Yan Weiyi and the others trembled at the sight, their faces filled with joy.

"It appeared. It appeared."

"I wonder what kind of opportunities and legacies are inside?"

"Such a vast and majestic aura. No wonder it ruled the Tianwu Continent three thousand years ago."

In every corner of the core area, everyone saw the unmatched majestic cluster of buildings in the sky that emitted a boundless aura, and were shaken to their cores.

Such a feat, suspending an entire palace city in the air, was beyond mortal comprehension.

Immortals, only immortals had such means!

"The divine palace has appeared, hahahaha, it's appeared. My chance to rise has come!"

"It's finally here, the Nebulous Divine Palace, the legacy of an immortal is mine, all of it is mine!"

"Whether I can rule over the Tianwu Continent in the future depends on this."

"Hahahaha, our chance is here!"

Countless cultivators were stirred into a frenzy, their eyes blazing with ambition as the legendary Nebulous Divine Palace made its grand appearance.
