Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 723 - Undying Nine Transformations

The crowd that had once scattered in panic felt the intense fluctuations in space and turned their heads. They saw Chen Fan sending the undying blood demon flying with a palm strike.

“Look, Chen Fan and that undying blood demon are fighting!”

The crowd sucked in breaths of cold air.

Hiss!

Shockingly, a ninth-level Divine Nascent realm martial artist had sent a fifth-level Heavenly Star realm demon flying.

They had all witnessed Chen Fan’s might in his fight against Qin Wang and over a hundred others. However, that hadn’t been enough to convince them that Chen Fan could trounce the undying blood demon.

So, as they saw the demon flying away like a kite, they felt shaken inside.

The undying blood demon, also surprised by the outcome, felt his honor insulted. He roared, “Ahhh, you lowly worm, you’ve hurt me. You’ve hurt me deeply. I’ll suck all of your blood essence and eat your flesh!”

Chen Fan turned a deaf ear to the undying blood demon’s threat. He executed the Flood Dragon Fist Scripture consecutively, crashing down and breaking the undying blood demon into thin leaves.

Most would have perished under such a relentless assault, but the demon's vitality was extraordinary.

He continued to roar angrily as several streams of terrifying auras erupted, and a massive blood-colored hand descended from the sky.

“Break!”

Chen Fan slashed out with his halberd, tearing through the sky, and destroying the bloody hand.

“Lowly worm, you can’t even imagine the true might of us undying blood demons. But to be able to fight me this well, I have to admit you are indeed strong. But it’s useless, I am undying!”

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Undying Blood Clan truly deserved to be one of the nine royal clans of the hell demon race. Their claim of being undying was indeed extraordinary.

His attack struck the undying blood demon but barely caused any damage.

“Undying, huh?” A cold gleam flashed across Chen Fan’s eyes. A furnace appeared behind Chen Fan, hovering. A terrifying aura spread from it as if it could refine all things in heaven and earth, even the heavens themselves.

“Try this!”

Chen Fan rushed toward the undying blood demon with the Heaven Seizing Furnace in tow.

“Kaka, what is this?”

The undying blood demon felt a strong sense of crisis, something he had never experienced before.

Even the Manifestation realm expert from the True Martial Academy could only heavily injure him, not kill.

But now, facing the Heaven Seizing Furnace, he truly sensed the aura of death.

This furnace could definitely refine him to death.

“Get lost!”

Panic flashed across the undying blood demon’s face as he felt the furnace suppress his undying power. He unleashed his overwhelming aura and blasted it toward the Heaven Seizing Furnace.

“Hmph, hmph.” Chen Fan sneered coldly and broke through the undying blood demon’s attack in a flash. Then, the Heaven Seizing Furnace rushed toward the demon.

Rumble!

The heaven-refining flames surged from the Heaven Seizing Furnace, turned into a fire dragon, and bit toward the undying blood demon.

“Ah!” shrieked the undying blood demon, mournfully.

“Undying Nine Transformations!”

A blood-colored mist rose from the undying blood demon. He twisted nine times before a mysterious force suddenly erupted from him. Like an ancient giant worm, the demon burrowed into the void and disappeared. Any traces of the wormhole vanished in a flash.

“Hmm? That is an incredible art of the demon race.”

Chen Fan did not expect this undying blood demon to have such a method up his sleeve. He spread out his tremendous spiritual power but couldn’t locate where the demon had gone.

This undying blood demon is amazing! Chen Fan couldn’t help but praise inwardly, his eyes flickering.

Even though he had firmly restrained the demon’s power, it still managed to escape his grasp.

“No way, Chen Fan actually fended off that undying blood demon. My god, my eyes aren’t playing tricks on me, are they? That’s a fifth-level Heavenly Star realm undying blood demon!”

“I feel like I’m about to suffocate.”

“What a monster. I wonder what kind of cultivation technique he’s practicing. It's so incredible, being able to restrain an undying blood demon.”

“......”

The nearby crowd was incredibly shocked.

Chen Fan ignored them. His figure distorted and vanished from sight.

In the distance, the undying blood demon landed on an ocean with dark golden waves, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood. His complexion was pale, holding a blood-colored sword in his hand.

Pfft!

“Damn it, damn it. What power does that lowly worm cultivate? How can he restrain my power of undying? Damn it, I suffered heavy injuries in just a few moments. Damn it!”

The undying blood demon let out low, angry roars, his words containing a sense of fear.

“This lowly worm definitely cannot be left alive. He must be killed. He can choke off my powers, so I can’t fight him alone. I need to find others to kill him together!”

Indignation and murderous intent filled the undying blood demon's face as he blurred and vanished from the ocean, heading off to who-knew-where in search of allies.

Chen Fan appeared on top of a demonic mountain, holding a map. He had received this simple map from Yuan Tong earlier.

“It should be just ahead. I wonder how many hell ores there will be.”

He tucked the map away and gazed toward a pitch-black, extended demonic mountain ahead, his eyes flickering with a brilliant light.

He had used up pretty much all his primeval stones. If he wanted to break through to the Heavenly Star realm, he would need a massive amount of resources.

Thankfully, the energy contained in hell ores was of a much higher grade than that of primeval stones. Even a small quantity should suffice to help him advance.

Despite having killed Qin Wang and the others, establishing himself as the top rookie in combat prowess, Chen Fan realized he still couldn't reign supreme here. Some of the demons that slipped away from the academy’s net, like that undying blood demon, could threaten him.

In the huge realm, he definitely wasn't the only one to escape the academy’s seal. There would be other powerful demons. He would be in danger if that undying blood demon went to look for helpers and came back to deal with him.

Therefore, for Chen Fan, his top priority right now was to break through to the Heavenly Star realm.

Then, no one could kill him, unless a genuine Manifestation realm expert took action.

With a leap, Chen Fan crossed five thousand kilometers in an instant and swung his halberd, blasting the ground. His true primeval cut the metal-like earth open, penetrating thousands of feet deep.

Clang!

Immediately, Chen Fan saw heavy, pitch-black crystals in the depths of the earth.

This crystal was none other than hell ore.

“I found it, this is the place!”

Chen Fan’s eyes beamed with happiness.
