Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 454 - What a Massive Head

“You don’t have to bother with knowing my identity. Just know one thing: I am the antithesis of you devils. You desire to hurt people and commit evil, so know that I am out there just waiting to kill every last one of you.”

Chen Fan put his hands in the form of Buddhist seals and continuously sent out Great Brahma Sacred Palms. It contained boundless golden light and the power of Buddhism, which could purify all evil in the world, purifying the Blood Corpse Demon King’s blood flames.

“Ahhh! Damn it, how dare you try to kill me! Master won’t let you off!”

The Blood Corpse Demon King truly felt the horror of death.

His blood flames danced wildly as he cried miserably, failing to break free from Chen Fan’s prison.

“You! Are you just gonna enjoy the show?! Get here and help!” roared the Blood Corpse Demon King, ordering the purple-gold jiangshi king to take action. If this continued, he would die at Chen Fan’s hand.

The purple-gold jiangshi king was hiding in a blood swamp. He had seen the entire fight, aware of how Chen Fan had worn down the Blood Corpse Demon King.

Hearing the Blood Corpse Demon King’s roar, it rushed out with a splash and attacked Chen Fan ferociously, hoping to rescue the other demon.

Chen Fan dismissed the purple-gold jiangshi king with a backhanded palm strike. “Get lost!”

A terrifying force swept out, shattering the purple-gold jiangshi king’s attack and sending him rolling over the ground.

The purple-gold jiangshi king was a tad weaker than the merit elder. Chen Fan had used every devil he had come across in the Fiendish Corpse Mountain Range to supplement his cultivation. So, he was now at the peak of the sixth level.

True primeval surged through Chen Fan like a vast, powerful river. His iron spear could seemingly hold up the sky and pierce through space and time. It dissipated the surrounding corpse qi, nefarious qi, and demonic qi.

The Blood Corpse Demon King roared again, “Blood Emperor’s Descent, Ruling the Universe!”

From the blood flames emerged a blood emperor, clad in a blood-red royal robe and crown, exuding a mighty and formidable aura. It emerged from the underworld and set off boundless blood waves, creating a vast blood sea.

Chen Fan recognized that the Blood Corpse Demon King was going all out, unleashing his ultimate move. The battle was reaching its climax.

“Blood Explosion!”

“Blood Lightning!”

Masses of blood flames and fresh blood condensed into blood-colored lightning, detonating with terrifying force. The shockwaves churned Chen Fan’s qi and blood, nearly wrenching his iron spear from his grasp.

Meanwhile, the purple-gold jiangshi king got his bearings back and attacked again, working with the Blood Corpse Demon King to suppress and kill Chen Fan.

“Hand of Death, Grappling Heaven and Earth!” [1]

The purple-gold jiangshi king unleashed a surge of shocking corpse qi. This grayish-white qi, tinged with a hint of purple, transformed into a terrifying withered palm that seemed to crush space-time itself as if it aimed to capture heaven and earth in one grasp.

Chen Fan felt a strong sense of crisis but didn’t feel afraid; instead, he felt excited.

“Good timing, I’m not afraid of you people!”

His qi erupted crazily, reaching the clouds. He pushed his golden core to the limit and golden light burst from his head.

“Strength of Myriad Elephants!”

Chen Fan’s arms swelled, like he had steel tendons and iron bones, as he unleashed the might of ten thousand elephants once more to thrust his iron spear. The backhanded thrust shook the entire Blood Flesh Swamp.

Simultaneously, he formed a Buddhist seal with his left hand. The power of his golden core surged, moving through a unique route inside him.

“Great Brahma Sacred Palm!”

Golden light radiated from the center of his palm, and the silhouette of a Buddha appeared behind him. It raised its hand and pressed down, shining with boundless golden light.

Rumble!

The iron spear’s terrifying strength erupted, stabbing the Hand of Death and shattering it. It didn’t stop there and flew toward the purple-gold jiangshi king.

Poof!

The purple-gold jiangshi king failed to react in time and was impaled by the iron spear, suspended in mid-air. A tremendous force erupted, blowing the jiangshi king apart and leaving only a corpse core the size of a baby’s head.

The Great Brahma Sacred Palm simultaneously pressed down, suppressing and crushing the Blood Corpse Demon King’s attacks. It also shattered the blood emperor’s silhouette that the Blood Corpse Demon King had summoned.

“Heaven Seizing Furnace, out!” Chen Fan roared. Divine light intertwined behind him, forming the Heaven Seizing Furnace. It descended and instantly swallowed the Blood Corpse Demon King.

The power of heaven refining erupted instantly, making the Blood Corpse Demon King scream miserably.

Chen Fan sat on the Heaven Seizing Furnace and channeled his cultivation technique, refining non-stop. Despite the Blood Corpse Demon King’s desperate attempts, his true primeval energy and determination remained unshaken.

Their battle had unleashed terrifying fluctuations and force ripples; they left the Blood Flesh Swamp shaken. Deep within this space, the clattering of chains suddenly echoed.

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

The entire otherworldly space experienced a drastic change all of a sudden.

Chen Fan sensed an impending danger, his mind tightening with unease.

He immediately slammed his palm on the Heaven Seizing Furnace, suppressing the Blood Corpse Demon King, and withdrew it into his dantian.

Rumble!

A deafening noise rang out in space as if the lord of heaven was furious. Thunderclaps rumbled, as if terrifying divine punishment was about to descend into the world to destroy it.

The noise was so intense that Chen Fan’s mind blanked, buzzing uncontrollably.

He then saw chains flickering with divine light appearing in the void. An aura that made even his soul tremble emanated from these nine chains, compelling him to kneel in worship.

However, Chen Fan gritted his teeth stubbornly and held on, sweat pouring down like rain.

Buzz!

Suddenly, two slits cracked open in the void. These slits seemed to contain two suns, emitting an incomparably dazzling light.

“Ah!” Chen Fan cried out, immediately shutting his eyes as trails of bloody tears flowed down.

Clatter, clatter...

The sound of the chains colliding became more frequent and increasingly louder.

Chen Fan shut his eyes tightly. After a while, the stabbing pain finally faded a bit. He drove his true primeval to his eyes and slowly opened them. What he saw next was a sight he would never forget.

An enormous head appeared in the void, as large as a star. Nine chains of divine light stabbed into the head from different directions, suspending it in the air.

The other end of the divine light chains faded into the depths of nothingness, their destinations unknown.

The two slits Chen Fan had seen earlier were actually the eyes of this enormous head. The blinding suns were the pupils of this colossal entity.

“This... this...”

Chen Fan was instantly stunned by the sight, his mind reeling. He completely forgot to think as his thoughts collapsed under the overwhelming shock of what he was seeing.

1. Fun fact: Zhao Gao, a member of the Tianxia Society, also used the Hand of Death in chapter 214, but without that grappling heaven and earth part. Is this a hint, or is this pure coincidence? ☜
