Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 450 - Corpse King Formation

Chen Fan came to the Fiendish Corpse Mountain Range and boldly pushed forward.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...

He startled the jiangshi and skeletons, roused from decades, if not centuries, of slumber.

He was much stronger now, compared to when he first came here. He unleashed a palm strike, and a terrifying force washed over the space like a long river. The jiangshi and skeletons were powerless to resist and were smashed into smithereens one after another.

Undeterred, Chen Fan pressed onward. His cultivation used to be low, so some ten-thousand-year corpse kings had escaped his notice then. However, they had no way of hiding from him now.

With a single gesture, he unearthed a mountain, reducing both it and the ancient corpse king slumbering in its bronze coffin to rubble.

These powerful beings—high-level Yuanfu realm experts—fell like mere pawns before Chen Fan's might.

As if the ten-thousand-year corpse kings weren’t enough, Chen Fan’s senses spread out and penetrated deep into the earth, which was connected like a maze. However, its power could no longer block off Chen Fan’s probing.

Chen Fan stomped heavily on the ground, creating a huge hollow with a rumble. He jumped right in.

Soon, the distant underground blew up and dirt flew everywhere. Chen Fan emerged from there, eliminating the ten-thousand-year-old corpse king in the underground maze.

“Awesome. I sure missed many ten-thousand-year corpse kings back then. Every one of them was incredibly powerful. If they were to run out, they would have caused great destruction in the world!”

Chen Fan was in a good mood.

He seemed like an unbeatable existence in the Fiendish Corpse Mountain Range, thanks to his strength. He slew numerous ten-thousand-year corpse kings with an unstoppable momentum, accumulating great karma. Perhaps his tribulations in the future would be just a bit less powerful.

Scree!

A sharp whistle suddenly rang out in space, making layers of nefarious and corpse qi in the distance erupt. A sound wave was darting toward Chen Fan.

“Interesting, there’s actually Core Formation realm corpse kings here!”

With a casual smack, Chen Fan destroyed those oncoming soundwaves. The earth in the distance burst open, and a jiangshi covered with purple hair emerged. It also had a pair of long, blood-sucking fangs at the corners of its mouth, looking hideously terrifying.

This was a purple-gold jiangshi—a king among jiangshi. The corpse qi around it formed a cloud-like mist. It was likely thirty thousand years old, which helped it reach the Core Formation realm.

“Human, you deserve to die a thousand deaths for slaughtering my people!” said the purple-gold jiangshi king.

Chen Fan smiled coldly and said, “You and your kind bring harm even in death, turning others into jiangshi and whatnot. I merely cleanse the world of your malice and earn a bit of karma for my service. So, you will join your “people” soon.”

“Your arrogance knows no bounds, human!” The purple-gold jiangshi king was enraged.

The jiangshi king roared, and the surrounding mountains blew up, along with the ground. A tempest of corpse qi surged, stirring the very clouds.

Numerous jiangshi kings emerged—all as strong as the purple jiangshi.

“Well, thank you for coming out. It saves me the trouble of finding you guys later. I can just kill you all now.”

Aside from the Core Formation realm jiangshi kings, many Yuanfu realm corpse kings had also emerged, arranged like soldiers behind the purple-gold jiangshi king. They formed formations capable of challenging even a Core Formation realm expert.

“Die!” Chen Fan did not say much. He brandished his iron spear, breaking the sound barrier as he charged forward. A trail of white air streamed behind him, the thunderous noise echoing like distant thunder.

“Little ones, go bring down that damned human!” roared the purple-gold jiangshi king. Its terrifying corpse qi rushed to the skies. Streaks of purple-gold light shot out like divine weapons, hoping to riddle Chen Fan.

However, with a shake of his arm, Chen Fan swept the iron spear across, shattering these purple-gold lights.

“Go to hell!” Chen Fan closed in on a purple jiangshi, striking it down effortlessly. This first-level Core Formation realm jiangshi fell, its core now Chen Fan's prize.

Rumble!

The purple-gold jiangshi king was furious, as it hadn’t expected to lose a general so early. It roared repeatedly, and corpse qi surged and rushed toward Chen Fan.

Chen Fan did not try to fight the purple-gold jiangshi king directly. Instead, he slaughtered his way into the corpse king formation.

Thrusting his spear, Chen Fan unleashed a torrential force akin to a mountain flood, shattering the corpse king formation and killing the Yuanfu realm kings with ease.

Chen Fan was like an unrivaled master, wielding his iron spear, seemingly capable of killing any gods or Buddhas standing in his way. Every spear thrust would kill numerous corpse kings, further enraging the purple-gold jiangshi king, whose futile protests echoed endlessly.

He destroyed numerous corpse king formations In the blink of an eye. The only evidence left to prove that they were once corpse kings was their corpse cores.

The purple jiangshi kings—the Core Formation realm experts—also fell one after another, failing to withstand Chen Fan’s power.

“Damn it! The remaining purple jiangshi kings, form a corpse king formation and follow me to annihilate this damned human!”

The purple-gold jiangshi king, now trailing behind Chen Fan, finally grasped the gravity of the situation. The remaining purple jiangshi kings hastily assembled, forming a formidable Core Formation realm formation.

A wave of destructive power surged toward Chen Fan, infused with the evil energies of the Fiendish Corpse Mountain Range.

“Hahahaha, good timing. Today, I will cleanse the Fiendish Corpse Mountain Range of its threats by eradicating all demons and devils, and restore peace to this world!”

Chen Fan wasn’t afraid as he faced the formidable formation of purple jiangshi kings. His aura instantly skyrocketed, shaking the heavens. All the nearby nefarious qi and corpse qi dissipated, seemingly having met their nemesis.

Under the purple-gold jiangshi king’s lead, the remaining dozen or so purple jiangshi kings channeled their cultivation in unison. Corpse qi surged, covering the skies and the sun. A bone spear dripping with fresh blood appeared amid the corpse king formation.

This bone spear seemed forged from the bones of gods or spirits, entwined with nefarious qi. Ghosts of those who had died unjustly appeared, launching mental attacks aimed at Chen Fan's soul.

“Kill!” roared the purple-gold jiangshi king. The blood-dripping bone spear locked onto Chen Fan and flew toward him.

Looking from afar, it was like a huge pillar trying to crush a fly.

Chen Fan felt some pressure and his eyes flickered. “Interesting!”

The bone spear exuded a terrifying power capable of disintegrating even a third-level Core Formation realm expert. This spear could kill even those at the seventh level.

It was no wonder that the Fiendish Corpse Mountain Range could exist until now. After all, it could threaten even Core Formation realm experts.

Its environment here was too treacherous for martial artists. If one just tried to clear it thoughtlessly, their true primeval would be exhausted. Facing the attacks of the corpse king formations, the purple jiangshi kings, and the purple-gold jiangshi king, one could do nothing but regret their actions.
