Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 648 - Fourth-Level Divine Nascent

Chen Fan was well aware of what the Seventh Young Master was plotting, and the change in his expression only made it more obvious. He had to be thinking about how to exact revenge. However, Chen Fan wasn’t the least bit intimidated.

As long as he continued to grow stronger, what was there to fear?

Moreover, the Seventh Young Master could try all he wanted to mobilize the Heavenly Star realm experts from the Heaven Supervisory Bureau, but they wouldn’t dare because of the True Martial Academy.

If they did, let alone the Heaven Supervisory Bureau, the academy might overthrow the entire Blue Dragon Domain.

As long as the threat didn’t come from a Heavenly Star realm expert, Chen Fan had no reason to be afraid with his growing strength.

The others quickly reached for the broken Dragon Marrow, each targeting the piece they desired.

Chen Fan reached out for another piece, but there weren’t many left. He quickly tried to take one of the few remaining pieces.

Boom!

Two huge hands collided.

Two massive hands clashed as the Third Dragon Lord and Chen Fan both reached for the same piece. Neither succeeded. In the blink of an eye, several other hands shot out to grab it.

“Hmph!” Chen Fan snorted coldly. He swung the Purgatory Divine Halberd, smashing the incoming hands. With a swift motion, Chen Fan snatched the Dragon Marrow section and stored it away.

The Third Dragon Lord and the others’ expressions were all very ugly. However, none of them pressed the issue further. After all, Chen Fan had demonstrated his overwhelming strength earlier by killing Cao Yuan.

As for the followers, since even the top geniuses might not necessarily be a match for Chen Fan, they didn’t even think about fighting him.

The Dragon Marrow had been completely divided up before long.

“Haha, with the Dragon Marrow in hand, I’ll be taking my leave first. Goodbye!” Xiao Yan laughed out loud. Nine-colored flames rose up around him, burning through the space as he left.

“Let’s go,” said the revered elder of the City Lord Manor, glaring at Chen Fan before leaving with his remaining subordinates.

Soon, only Chen Fan’s group was left in the valley. Everyone else was gone.

“Let’s move,” Chen Fan said to Qiu Yuexin and Xiao Zhen.

In the scramble for the Dragon Marrow, the two had been completely uninvolved.

Their cultivation levels paled in comparison to Chen Fan and the other top experts. From start to finish, they had merely stood aside and observed without participating.

Suddenly, the people nearby surrounded them.

“Stop right there!”

These people had planned to join hands and intimidate one of the super geniuses after they were done dividing the loot. They considered Chen Fan and Xiao Yan as the easiest targets to bully

After all, these two were like commanders without any soldiers, unlike the Dragon God Army, Heaven Supervisory Bureau, and the City Lord Manor, which all had quite a number of experts with them.

“Hmm?” Chen Fan swept his gaze around coldly, making the hearts of those blocking him shiver.

A fourth-level Divine Nascent realm martial artist stepped forward and said, “Chen Fan, we all know you’re strong, but there are so many of us here. We’ll let you guys leave as long as you hand over a piece of the Dragon Marrow.”

Chen Fan smiled coldly and said, “So, you’re trying to snatch my Dragon Marrow. Very well, but do you think empty vessels like you are worthy?”

A green lotus appeared in front of Chen Fan, blossoming with an incomparably sharp aura. The lotus quickly transformed into a streak of Green Lotus Sword Qi, which rushed out violently.

“Ahhh...” Miserable screams rang out in an instant.

The Green Lotus Sword Qi diced the thieves. Fresh blood spilled across the sky, and the air became thick with the scent of blood.

Many people were put to death by this attack in an instant.

The remaining onlookers were terrified, scrambling away in panic, their faces pale with horror.

The sheer brutality of Chen Fan’s single slash, which had diced nearly twenty people, left them in utter shock.

“Hmph.” Chen Fan snorted coldly and left with Xiao Zhen and Qiu Yuexin. No one dared to stop them.

......

Deep within a mountain cavity in the microcosm, the trio came to a halt.

Chen Fan took out a Dragon Marrow piece and tossed it to them.

“You two, absorb this together.”

“This...” Xiao Zhen and Qiu Yuexin looked at Chen Fan, feeling at a loss for words.

They did not contribute anything in the fight for the Dragon Marrow; it had been Chen Fan fighting alone.

Now that Chen Fan was offering them a piece, they felt embarrassed to accept it.

“Quit being so difficult. Quickly absorb it and raise your cultivation.”

Without waiting for a response, he pulled out the biggest piece of the Dragon Marrow and began refining and absorbing it.

This biggest piece of the Dragon Marrow was equivalent to two or three of the smaller pieces. It could be said that Chen Fan had gained the most from the Dragon Marrow fight.

Seeing that Chen Fan was already deep in cultivation, Xiao Zhen and Qiu Yuexin no longer hesitated. Dividing the Dragon Marrow into two halves, they began absorbing its energy to enhance their own cultivation.

Rumble!

Inside Chen Fan, the Heaven Seizing Furnace spun rapidly, refining a vast amount of the Dragon Marrow. It transformed into energy and rushed into Chen Fan, making his aura boil over and go berserk. Countless whirlwinds whistled and spun around him.

Chen Fan’s Dragon Marrow piece was twenty feet long, being one-fifth of the entire Dragon Marrow. The sheer amount of energy it contained was immense.

His cultivation began climbing almost instantly.

It had been less than a month since he broke through to the third-level Divine Nascent realm, making his progress astounding.

Time passed quickly as the trio continued absorbing the Dragon Marrow’s energy.

Ten days later:

Xiao Zhen and Qiu Yuexin successfully advanced to the fourth-level Divine Nascent realm.

However, Chen Fan had yet to break through. Nevertheless, his aura was already very powerful, creating pressure so intense that it almost suffocated the two who had just advanced.

The two looked at Chen Fan, who was at the cusp of breaking through, and they did not bother him.

Another five days passed.

On this day, the entire heaven and earth was in turmoil. The air currents surged very intensely, as if some kind of disaster was about to happen. The cause of this commotion was Chen Fan himself.

“He’s about to break through!”

Xiao Zhen and Qiu Yuexin narrowed their gazes, knowing that Chen Fan was about to break through.

As they had expected, in the next moment, loud rumblings came from within Chen Fan.

That was the power of his true primeval surging crazily like a river inside him. His aura reached the fourth-level Divine Nascent realm.

After half a month, Chen Fan finally broke through to the fourth-level Divine Nascent realm.

The terrifying commotion caused by Chen Fan only calmed down after half a day.

The terrifying pressure he emanated receded like the tide. After it was all gone, Chen Fan opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed across them.
