Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 398 - Extreme Metamorphosis

Heaven and earth fell silent.

Everyone looked at the figure in the air blankly, lost for words. Memories of Chen Fan\'s tribulation played in their minds like a film.

Every scene left their minds shaking, feeling an uncontrollable urge to prostrate in worship.

“It’s over...”

“Right, it has ended.”

Gradually, the crowd snapped out of their daze, though their faces still showed astonishment.

“What a truly terrifying tribulation!

"Chen Fan\'s strength is incredible. He made such a formidable tribulation look easy. It\'s astonishing."

“Today, I’ve witnessed the rise of a holy disciple firsthand.”

“The last time our sect produced a holy disciple was six years ago when Senior Brother Duan Jingtian ascended, right?”

“Who would have thought Chen Fan would come this far? Overcoming the tribulation, advancing to the Core Formation realm, and becoming a holy disciple. From now on, his status in the sect will be so high that people will look up to him.”

“Say, will the sect cancel the life-and-death match between Chen Fan and Senior Brother Duan Jingtian in eighteen months, considering Chen Fan\'s potential? It would be a great shame if such a talent died at the hands of our own.”

“......”

The entire Spring Autumn Sect heated up at once.

This was especially true for the disciples who had joined in recent years. For them, witnessing someone confront their golden core tribulation and the birth of a holy disciple was exhilarating.

“How truly unexpected. That guy overcame such a terrifying tribulation so easily. It seems our sect will soon boast another unparalleled genius.”

“For real. Six years ago, after Duan Jingtian passed his tribulation, he quickly surpassed us veteran holy disciples and left us in the dust. Now, an even more monstrous genius has appeared. The pressure is unbelievable.”

“Alright, the pressure only drives us to excel. Let\'s get back and cultivate; otherwise, we\'ll truly be left behind.”

The holy disciples wore expressions of resignation.

The Spring Autumn Sect hadn’t seen such a peerless monstrous genius in a century. Six years ago, it was Duan Jingtian; now, Chen Fan showed up unexpectedly. The veteran holy disciples felt an unprecedented weight on their shoulders.

“Ah, how frustrating. That damned bastard overcame the golden core tribulation. How could this be!”

“Damn it, why didn’t the tribulation just strike him to death!”

Conversely, the members of Heaven’s Alliance looked resentful and bitter, wishing for Chen Fan\'s death to put an end to their woes.

The alliance had suffered many losses because Chen Fan had killed many of their experts.

Duan Jingtian had been sent off to face a wall to repent as punishment, and Yuan Kun had fallen—all because of Chen Fan. The alliance had no leader now.

They all hated Chen Fan and had asked their respective god to kill him during the tribulation.

Now that Chen Fan had become a holy disciple, only Duan Jingtian could suppress him. No one else from the Heaven’s Alliance was a match for him.

After all, why would they act as Duan Jingtian’s lackey if they could enter the Core Formation realm and become a holy disciple themselves?

Had Chen Fan not existed, Yuan Kun would have won the martial arts competition and, with the Extreme Profound Elixir\'s power, he had an eighty to ninety percent chance of becoming a holy disciple.

This would have resulted in the alliance having two holy disciples. Sadly, Chen Fan had set the cat among the pigeons.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan had no idea what the members of Heaven’s Alliance were thinking; if he did, he likely wouldn’t have cared.

Now that he had broken through to the Core Formation realm, would the members of Heaven’s Alliance still dare to mess with him?

They\'d likely fear for their lives!

Hovering proudly in the air, Chen Fan remained still, seemingly in deep meditation.

Suddenly, a flood of information streamed into his mind from the tiny golden person in his glabella.

Moments later, a gleam of light appeared in Chen Fan’s eyes, reflecting surprise.

The small golden person had imparted a golden core secret art to him.

With his advancement to the Core Formation realm, Chen Fan had felt a pang of regret, as the Nine Illusory Primeval Vessel Secret Art would become obsolete. However, the small golden person refined the secret art, transforming it into a golden core secret art.

Now, his nine illusory primeval vessels could transform into nine illusory golden cores, offering immense help to Chen Fan once more.

“Hahaha, hahaha!” Chen Fan laughed out loud, his laughter resonating through the surroundings.

He had overcome the tribulation, entered the Core Formation realm, improved his physique by using the tribulation lightning, and pushed his Myriad Elephants Divine Art to the eleventh layer.

Moreover, the small golden person had upgraded his Nine Illusory Primeval Vessel Secret Art to the Nine Illusory Golden Core Secret Art, promising a substantial increase in his combat prowess.

The golden core tribulation was an extreme metamorphosis for Chen Fan, propelling him to a new height.

Henceforth, he could rightfully be considered a genuine peak expert!

In the Great Chu Empire, Core Formation realm experts were the strongest existences, in the absence of Divine Nascent realm experts. He was only at the first level, yet he would be considered a high and mighty existence like a god. No one would dare to mess with him.

“Core Formation... So, this is the Core Formation realm. What incredible power!” Chen Fan clenched his fist, feeling the strength inside him. It was so powerful it was scary.

He felt like he could reduce a mountain to dust with a single exhale. A palm strike should be able to topple mountains, overturn seas, and cut off rivers.

Power. Power to conquer the world rose from within him.

“Although I have only recently advanced into the Core Formation realm, given my immense strength, even someone at the second level wouldn’t be a threat to me. Hahaha, just wait, Duan Jingtian. In a year and a half, I’ll make you kneel under my feet and repent!”

An incomparably sharp light shot out from Chen Fan’s eyes.

Suddenly, a gust of wind arose as Wei Buyu arrived, landing beside him.

Swish!

“How are you feeling?” Wei Buyu inquired, his face also beaming with smiles. Chen Fan had easily overcome such a terrifying golden core tribulation; it went to show how deep and powerful his foundations were. His future achievements would be immeasurable.

“Very good! Very strong!” Chen Fan answered.

“Now that you’ve broken through to the Core Formation realm, you can also be considered a true expert. In ancient times, only those who achieved Core Formation were recognized as qi cultivators," Wei Buyu remarked, grinning.

“It’s indeed very powerful. My energy has metamorphosed; it\'s a level beyond primeval force,” Chen Fan said, his eyes shimmering.

Below the Core Formation realm, the energy in one’s body was primeval force. However, at the Core Formation realm, primeval force transformed into a stronger, more overbearing power—true primeval.

“Now that you’ve broken through to the Core Formation realm, you’re considered a holy disciple. I’m sure the Sect Leader will summon you very soon,” Wei Buyu said, restraining his smile.

“The Sect Leader? Why would he sum...”

Chen Fan was just about to pose a question when his expression suddenly changed.
