Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 728 - Demons Strike

“Sha Tunhai has a point. We must kill such an exceptional figure now while we still can. Once he matures, he will be a disaster for our noble demon race!” said another young burly man, staring into the distant void. He let out a snort, and it carried such force that the surrounding air shattered instantly, the earth splintered, and even the sky showed faint cracks.

This tall, burly youth was none other than Xiang Wanxu.

“From the calamities, I can sense the power of water, fire, earth, and wind—the four primordial elements. These aren’t ordinary tribulations. No, they’re far more dangerous. If what I sense is correct, this Chen Fan is exactly as Xue Ming described, an extraordinary figure to draw upon such terrifying forces when merely breaking through to the Heavenly Star realm. If we were in his position, we’d have already perished. He must die. We cannot allow someone like him to live.”

The speaker was a youth with golden hair and a lion’s head. His cultivation level was the same as Sha Tunhai, at the sixth-level Heavenly Star realm.

His radiant mane resembled the blazing sun, commanding attention wherever he stood.

His name was Shi Zhonglou, a demon known for his fiery temper and unmatched physical might.

Although Xue Ming’s cultivation level wasn’t the strongest here, his status was the highest, since he was from the Undying Blood Clan.

“Then can we act immediately? Everyone, hear my orders. Get into the Demons Paradise Grand Formation. Each of you offer up your favored treasures, detonate them, and open a passageway. We’ll carve open a path, force back the Eternal Divine Wind, and tear a wormhole directly to Chen Fan’s side. There, we finish him.”

The demon race had always valued hierarchy. Even Sha Tunhai and Shi Zhonglou, both sixth-level Heavenly Star realm demons, unquestioningly followed Xue Ming’s orders.

“Yes!” shouted the other demons behind them immediately.

These demon experts came together at once, offering up their own treasures and detonating them in the air. Xue Ming then threw a punch, summoning an ancient Underworld Worm.

The demons’ will and blood essence merged into a surging river, forcing the Eternal Divine Wind aside. A space-time wormhole opened, connecting directly to Chen Fan, who was seated in the eye of the divine wind, undergoing the final step of his metamorphosis.

As soon as the passageway opened, Xue Ming smiled savagely and rushed within.

“Kill!”

More than ten demon experts at the third-level Heavenly Star realm and above had gathered. The power they unleashed by detonating their treasures was immense.

Chen Fan had absorbed much of the Eternal Divine Wind. The Heaven Seizing Furnace’s aura became increasingly vast, as though a universe was burning inside it.

His heavenly star tribulation had thinned and was fading, which allowed Xue Ming and the others to break through the Eternal Divine Wind.

Xue Ming was the first to rush in front of Chen Fan, his bloodline stirring restlessly, absorbing the surrounding demonic qi.

“Lowly worm, your doom has arrived. Today will be the day you die, while you’re weak! Blood Sword!”

Xue Ming thrust the Blood Sword toward the seated Chen Fan.

Yang Shan, Sha Tunhai, and the others simultaneously launched their strongest attacks on Chen Fan.

One great killing move after another was unleashed. Heaven and earth filled with chaotic light, and terrifying forces erupted all at once.

Suddenly, Chen Fan opened his eyes. His aura erupted at once, storming out like a flood.

“Roar!” roared Chen Fan to the sky, and the sound waves were like the tide.

Finally, he had advanced into the Heavenly Star realm.

However, it was also the moment of greatest danger. Xue Ming and the others’ terrifying attacks were before him.

Though only a dozen demons, they were all experts, and their combined assault was far more devastating than Qin Wang and the hundred cultivators Chen Fan had faced before. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Rumble!

The cosmic explosion that followed shook the land. Xue Ming and the others’ attacks struck Chen Fan directly, causing a violent shockwave that seemed to tear the sky apart.

The storm forced them all backward.

“Is he dead?”

Xue Ming and the others stared fixedly at the storm, unsure of Chen Fan’s fate after enduring such a brutal onslaught.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a golden figure rushed out from the storm. It was none other than Chen Fan.

However, his clothing was in tatters, and blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth.

Despite breaking through to the Heavenly Star realm, Chen Fan’s organs had taken a beating from the combined bombardment. His qi and blood churned wildly, struggling to settle.

“Heavens, he’s still not dead!”

Shi Zhonglou’s blond hair swayed like a wave of wheat. His aura became very berserk, and his golden demonic eyes revealed a look of disbelief.

“This guy... No wonder Xue Ming was nearly killed by him and had to escape. You were right to bring so many of us here.”

Hearing Shi Zhonglou mention the past—especially his most humiliating moment—Xue Ming’s expression darkened. He snorted coldly, “Did you think I would lie to you people? Hmph, even you wouldn’t fare any better if you fought him one-on-one.”

Sha Tunhai ground his saw-like sharp teeth, a bloodthirsty look flickering in his eyes. “Alright, we are not here to mock you. This man definitely mustn’t be kept alive. We must kill him at all costs to remove this future threat!”

Chen Fan suppressed the qi and blood tumbling inside him, his gaze falling on Xue Ming and the other demons, filled with iciness. He said coldly, “You sinful demons... Instead of hiding and clinging to your miserable lives, you dare ambush me? It seems you’re tired of living. Fine, since you sent yourselves to my doorstep, I’ll send you all to hell.”

“Hahahaha, lowly worm, such an arrogant mouth you have. We’ll give you a choice: betray the human race, absorb demonic qi, and become a demon servant. Serve the noble demon race, and you might live. Otherwise, this is where you’ll die. We’ve killed plenty of human geniuses like you. Don’t make the wrong choice.”

“That’s right,” another demon added. “Kneel, swear allegiance to the demon god, and let us plant a demonic fetus inside you.”

“A bunch of empty vassals like you dares to bark in front of me? Hmph, I’ll let you know today what is called a slaughter!”

A terrifying aura erupted from Chen Fan, shocking heaven and earth, and shaking the stars. This aura was no weaker than Xue Ming’s.

Xiang Wanxu said with a cold smile, “Well, well, well. A lowly worm like you still dares to be stubborn. Pity, what a pity. A genius is about to meet a tragic end just like that. We just love to torture and kill the geniuses of the True Martial Academy!”
