Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Holding the storage ring, Chen Fan extended his divine will and quickly scanned its contents.

There weren't many items inside. In fact, it was surprisingly sparse.

Swish.

With a thought, a faint golden talisman paper appeared in Chen Fan's hand.

He could sense the fluctuation emitting from it that caused one's heart to palpitate.

Gu Tianxing said, "This is the Dawn Suppression Divine Talisman. Remember that once you enter the Four Fiends Space, all you need to do is activate it and embed it into the Dawn Suppression Iron Chains holding down the Blood Emperor's corpse."

He nodded and said, "But Senior, I've only been to the Fiendish Corpse Space before. I don't know the layout of the other three places, so I can't enter them unless spatial tunnels open."

"That's easy. I'll pass on the method to open the spatial tunnel to you."

A beam of white light shot into Chen Fan's glabella, instantly converting into knowledge. He then put away the talisman and took out a sword: two fingers wide, three feet seven inches long.

Gu Tianxing's gaze fell on the sword, revealing a nostalgic look, and he said, "This is Heavenly Punishment. It's a low-grade immortal artifact, and my personal weapon. I hope it serves you well."

Chen Fan examined the Heavenly Punishment sword, comparing it to the Vicious Suppressor. He concluded that the Heavenly Punishment sword was far inferior to the Vicious Suppressor.

"Oh, right, Senior, what is this?"

He put away the Heavenly Punishment sword and took out a broken piece of tortoise shell with tiny, dark golden characters carved on it.

Gu Tianxing was slightly taken aback and said, "I obtained it by chance in the past. I studied it before; the characters carved on it are probably a chapter of a cultivation technique. It's extraordinary but not complete. If you obtain the remaining text in the future, perhaps you can unravel its mysteries."

Suddenly, Chen Fan raised his eyebrow slightly before putting away the broken tortoise shell.

"Hmm?"

Aside from these, there were also some Grade-8 and 9 treasures in the storage ring, as well as some middle and upper-heaven tier martial arts.

If this storage ring were thrown into the world, it would spark a bloody storm on the Tianwu Continent. Even Void Immortal Supremes would make a move to seize it.

"Haaa, it's been three thousand years. I hope the worst-case scenario doesn't happen. Otherwise, I would have truly sinned." Gu Tianxing sighed again and said, "Alright, Chen Fan, you may leave now."

"Alright. Oh, Senior, what about the others who entered the divine palace..."

"They can't reach this place. Each person has their own opportunities. Their fortune will decide what they can obtain. That said, there are still plenty of treasures left. Go fight for them if you're willing." Gu Tianxing smiled.

Chen Fan nodded, bowed, and said with a serious expression, "Everything Senior has done for the Tianwu Continent, we, the future generations, have engraved it in our hearts. Please rest assured, Senior. I'll do my utmost to complete the sealing mission."

Gu Tianxing nodded in gratification and said, "Good, very good! Go on, this is all I can do. My remnant soul is nearly spent. How I wish I could return to the Heavenly Realm... just once more..."

......

Inside another palace, Chen Fan casually sent a withered corpse flying with a flick of his spear, then seized a cauldron filled with elixirs.

After leaving Gu Tianxing's place, he did not leave the divine palace. Instead, he went around to collect loot.

Gu Tianxing had already said that he could fight for the items if he was willing.

How could he willingly let go of such an opportunity?

Even if he didn't have any use for them, his friends and family would need them.

Not many had entered the divine palace to begin with, and even fewer had passed the second test. So, he hadn't encountered anyone else in the divine palace.

During his looting spree, however, he did come across quite a few jiangshi and broke out into several huge battles.

Rumble!

After an indeterminate amount of time, a deep rumble echoed throughout the palace. A beam of light enveloped him and forcibly ejected him from the divine palace.

He reappeared underneath the staircase.

The others who had entered the divine palace were also sent out.

The crowd broke into murmurs and complaints, a mix of frustration and excitement.

"Hmm? What's going on? Wasn't I fighting a fiery jiangshi?"

"Damn it, just a little bit more, and I could have killed the withered corpse and obtained treasures."

"Hahahaha, so close, so close. I snagged this Grade-9 treasure literally at the last second before getting kicked out!"

Chen Fan also saw Yan Weiyi and the others, and he hurriedly walked over.

"Senior Brothers and Sister, how did you do?" Chen Fan asked.

He wasn't sure if they had managed to enter the divine palace or obtain anything worthwhile.

Yan Weiyi nodded with a smile and said, "Not bad, I got a little harvest."

"Me too," Zhuge Mingyue added.

Just wish we had more time." Zhu Yue pouted slightly, but still smiled.

Judging by their expressions, their harvests were good.

"How about you, Little Junior Brother? You were the first to enter. I bet your haul was the biggest." Zhu Yue asked.

Chen Fan smiled and said, "It was alright."

"Alright, the exploration of the core area has ended. It's time to leave," said Yan Weiyi.

"Mmm." Chen Fan and the others nodded.

Shortly afterward, the other academy disciples came over.

Naturally, some looked thrilled, while others wore bitter, defeated expressions.

"Let's go. Back to the academy." Chen Fan waved his hand and flew toward the entrance.

The crowd had no choice but to leave, as a repelling force had emerged in the core area, pushing them to leave.

Swish, swish, swish.

Thus, numerous figures flew across the sky in the direction of the entrance.

Of course, during this period, battles also erupted.

Some, driven by jealousy, launched sneak attacks on those who had entered the divine palace and emerged with treasures. These ambushes quickly escalated into fierce skirmishes.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Chen Fan.

Although many people were jealous of Chen Fan and the others' harvests, no one dared to make a move.

He alone was enough to deter these people.

Rob Chen Fan?

What difference was there between that and courting death?

......

Deep in the ancient battlefield, outside the colorful stone door:

Although a month had passed, the experts of the various major forces hadn't left. They had set up camp here, waiting patiently for those inside to return.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look! The stone door is changing!"

Immediately afterward, countless gazes looked over.

The colorful stone door began to melt, slowly unraveling into multicolored lights.

Zhang Daoling narrowed his gaze.

Murmurs and speculation rippled through the camps.

"It looks like the time is up, and they're about to come out."

"So soon? It's only been a month. I wonder what kind of opportunities they obtained?"

The Nebulous Divine Palace's core area had taken immense effort, yet it remained open for only a month. It felt too short.

Zhang Daoling said, "The closure of the core area seems predetermined. Prepare to receive them."

The gazes of the experts of the True Martial Academy turned serious.
