Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 229 - Fifth Level Yuanfu

The nefarious qi, corpse qi, and ghostly qi exploded, generating formidable currents that surged toward the Flying Yaksha.

The Flying Yaksha wielded an extraordinary trident. Eerie ghostly qi lingered around it, transforming into ghost heads and vengeance spirits. With a swift motion, it thrust the trident forward.

Pop, pop. Pop, pop, pop...

A series of popping sounds echoed as the space was pierced. The sharp metallic aura, along with the nefarious qi and the corpse qi, clashed with the surging currents, effortlessly breaking them apart.

The space quickly returned to tranquility, revealing the frightening strength of the Flying Yaksha.

Whoosh!

The Flying Yaksha flapped its flesh wings, erupting with a godly light that covered the sky. It stretched its limbs and released its aura.

Rapidly oscillating qi currents emanated from the Flying Yaksha, and metallic divine lights descended like torrential rain, targeting Chen Fan.

“Extinguish!”

Chen Fan was like a god moving through space and time. His aura was locked on the Flying Yaksha. With his six arms striking fiercely, he disrupted the space, crushing the incoming metallic divine lights.

Chen Fan sped through the space with a single step and arrived before the Flying Yaksha.

As he thrust the Heaven Piercing Spear, divine-looking runes flickered on its surface.

A black hole spun and expanded on the spear\'s tip, carrying a terrifying suction that tried to pull the yaksha toward the spear.

“Yaksha Strike!” The spirits on the yaksha’s trident emitted mournful wails, reaching Chen Fan\'s ears and transporting his mind to an alternate time and space

This space-time was full of spirits, as if it was a place where they gathered. They covered the sky and the earth, rushing toward Chen Fan to rip him apart.

However, Chen Fan\'s resolute mind remained unaffected.

With a jolt, those spirits screamed and wailed miserably. Purgatorial flames engulfed them, and hissing sounds filled the space as the souls burned.

Some spirits turned on each other, merging into a towering, malevolent entity with a face marred by rotten sores. When it moved, pieces of rotten, putrid flesh fell from its body.

It looked so fearful that anyone would find their scalp turning numb.

This evil existence quickly launched an attack on Chen Fan. Evil-looking eyes appeared all over its body, erupting with ghostly light that shook Chen Fan’s mind.

Chen Fan felt a tremendous impact on his mind from these countless eyes.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the small golden person hiding in Chen Fan’s brow shook and emitted a golden light.

Immediately, the strange space-time dimension started crumbling.

The sky shattered, and a heavenly fire descended like a meteor shower. The eerie, ghostly aura was instantly obliterated under the onslaught of heavenly fire.

Simultaneously, the earth ruptured, and hellish magma erupted akin to a volcano. The evil entity, affected by the magma, saw its decaying flesh disintegrate like raindrops, and its eerie white bones melted away.

Finally, Chen Fan’s mind left that dimension.

Chi!

However, the Flying Yaksha’s trident already loomed before Chen Fan, approaching with an overwhelming pressure akin to a massive, crashing wave. He didn’t even have the time to catch his breath.

In the crucial moment, Chen Fan unleashed the Wings of Rain Dragon. He tore through the air, instantly flitting a thousand meters away, evading the Flying Yaksha’s attack. From afar, he looked at the Flying Yaksha with an icy expression.

When the Flying Yaksha had stabbed at him, it had also launched a secret mental assault, trapping his mind in a mysterious dimension, nearly leading to his demise.

If the small golden person had not helped him and destroyed that mysterious dimension, the yaksha would have stabbed Chen Fan’s head.

Chen Fan’s back was drenched in a layer of cold sweat.

Relying too much on his overwhelming strength, he had underestimated the nefarious qi\'s corrosive power and became vulnerable to the Flying Yaksha\'s cunning tactics. His overconfidence had nearly led to his downfall.

“I got lucky...”

His pupils sharpened, his mind focused, determined not to give the Flying Yaksha another opportunity to exploit his weaknesses.

Swish!

He flapped his Wings of Rain Dragon to raise a fierce hurricane. It blew away the skeleton jiangshis below, throwing them off balance and rolling them away.

Simultaneously, Chen Fan seemingly teleported, appearing instantaneously above the Flying Yaksha. With an icy gaze, he thrust the Heaven Piercing Spear.

The Flying Yaksha, reacting swiftly, swung its trident upward, engaging in a violent clash with Chen Fan.

“Ah!”

Despite its efforts, the Flying Yaksha was nearly instantly overwhelmed by the colossal force.

It cried out miserably as it fell from the sky, fluttering its flesh wings, its body torn and tattered from the impact.

“You...”

The Flying Yaksha crashed onto the ground, crushing a swathe of skeleton jiangshi into powder. It stood up and looked at Chen Fan, its voice filled with fear.

“Die!”

Chen Fan spat out a single word. Descending rapidly, he thrust the Heaven Piercing Spear, annihilating all defenses put up by the Flying Yaksha and soon extinguishing its life.

A large corpse core fell into Chen Fan’s hand. With a quick circulation, the white-golden heaven-refining flames turned into a stream, purifying the large amounts of evil qi on the surface of the corpse core.

A sixth-level Yuanfu realm corpse core contained massive amounts of vitality essence.

On his way here, Chen Fan had refined and absorbed large amounts of corpse cores, so his cultivation had been rising steadily.

Boom, boom!

Immediately, Chen Fan’s aura erupted uncontrollably, sweeping and suppressing everything.

All the skeleton jiangshi affected by its ripples were devastated, regardless of their cultivation levels.

Chen Fan’s aura erupted continuously, shaking heaven and earth. The surrounding nefarious qi, corpse qi, ghostly qi, and all kinds of evil qi stirred restlessly as if they had met their nemesis.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Chen Fan didn’t pay attention to any of that.

He took out a large amount of primeval stones and burst them open one after another. He absorbed their primeval qi like a whale taking in water. As he circulated his cultivation, the primeval force in his dantian rose dramatically.

The Heaven Seizing Furnace spewed vitality essence endlessly, and primeval force surged ceaselessly throughout Chen Fan’s meridians like the Yangtze River.

Rumble!

Half an hour later, a dull sound came from inside Chen Fan. Another invisible force swept out across the lands.

It even shattered a mountain. The Thousand-Year Corpse King within was directly blown to bits, leaving only a blood-colored corpse core in the air, spinning.

Chen Fan finally advanced to the fifth level after refining and devouring countless corpse cores and absorbing their essences.

Upon his return to the Spring Autumn Sect, he could undergo inspection by the elders of the Advancement Hall and be immediately promoted to a core disciple. This elevation in status would be comparable to that of an inner-sect elder.
