Chapter 1191 - Third Visit to the Fiendish Corpse Mountain Range
The people from the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect and the foreign forces were on the run, while the people of the Tianwu Continent pursued them.
One side chased, the other ran. It was a chaotic and intense scene
The stream of people from the various major forces of the Tianwu Continent was like a monstrous flood, sweeping across the ancient battlefield in unstoppable momentum.
Anyone caught was killed on the spot, without exception.
As for those Void Immortal Supremes and Legendary realm experts, they abandoned their allies and fled the battlefield at full speed.
Their cooperation with the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect ended up in a double loss for them, nearly costing them their own lives.
Chen Fan was also among the crowd, hunting down the people from the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect.
Soon, the chase extended beyond the battlefield.
Once outside, Chen Fan used the chaos to head straight toward the Hong Domain.
The foreign forces no longer posed a real threat. Now, all they cared about was escaping the Tianwu Continent.
As for the matter of hunting the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect, the exclusion of Chen Fan didn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
Given his meager cultivation, he could deal with those below the Legendary realm but was nearly useless against stronger foes.
So he left the rest of the hunt to others; he had more important things to do.
Whoosh.
In the sky, Chen Fan spread his Wings of Rain Dragon and tore through the atmosphere. He was like a lightning bolt, flashing across the sky at an extreme speed.
About half a day later, he appeared outside the Fiendish Corpse Mountain Range.
His eyes flickered, seeing all kinds of nefarious qi like corpse qi, ghost qi, and Yin qi converging and intertwining within the mountain range.
He still remembered his first time here. He had been in dire straits at the Spring Autumn Sect, having offended the Heaven's Alliance and Duan Jingtian, and his life hanging by a thread.
He had overheard a conversation between Heaven's Alliance members and learned that Duan Jingtian had sent Chu Tiange and some others here to collect the Fountain of Life. Chen Fan followed the lead and swept through the Fiendish Corpse Mountain Range, broke into numerous underground tombs, and eliminated several corpse kings.
In the end, he killed Chu Tiange and the other key Heaven's Alliance members, seized the Fountain of Life meant to aid Duan Jingtian's breakthrough, and began his rise.
His second visit came after breaking through to the fifth-level Core Formation realm.
That time, he crushed even the thousand-year and ten-thousand-year corpse kings without restraint. He also entered the Fiendish Corpse Space for the first time and saw the Blood Emperor's head.
But before that power, he had been helpless.
If not for the small golden figure protecting him, he would've become fertilizer in that eerie domain.
This was his third visit.
Now, on his third visit, he was no longer the same.
He was now at the Lesser Peak Manifestation realm and possessed combat strength at the early-stage Lesser Legendary realm. Compared to his first and second visits here, he was much stronger.
Furthermore, his first two visits here had been to use the energies of those thousand-year and ten-thousand-year corpse kings to raise his cultivation.
This time, his purpose was different: to reinforce the seal on the Blood Emperor.
"Blood Emperor... Even a sect from the Heavenly Realm couldn't kill him. They could only dismember him, and suppress and seal it in different places. It goes to show how terrifying the Blood Emperor's cultivation was." Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, muttering to himself, "This seal might hold him for now, but not forever. He's a ticking time bomb. It's best to eliminate him entirely.
"Unfortunately, my current cultivation level is too low. If I want to annihilate him, I will have to open the door of immortality and go to the Heavenly Realm to raise my cultivation first."
Thinking of this, Chen Fan's gaze turned sharp.
No matter what, he had to go to the thirty-three heavenly domains.
And at the upcoming Immortal Draft Assembly, he had to secure enough immortal affinity to open the door of immortality and begin his cultivation in the Heavenly Realm.
Only by growing stronger could he enter the Phoenix Ancient Realm to get Qin Yao and eliminate the Blood Emperor, who was like a bomb that could explode at any time, threatening the entire Tianwu Continent.
As he was right now, he was too weak.
Chen Fan's gaze became resolute.
He believed that he could succeed.
"Forget it, these things can wait until I'm strong enough. Thinking about them now is pointless. I should reinforce the Blood Emperor's seal first and buy myself some time."
Turning into a blur, Chen Fan rushed into the Fiendish Corpse Mountain Range.
......
Boom, boom, boom!
Bursts of explosions rang out.
Several young cultivators were locked in a fierce battle against powerful corpse kings.
A youth in the fifth-level Yuanfu realm and three in the fourth-level Yuanfu realm were struggling against a seventh-level corpse king, completely outmatched and barely holding on.
"Senior Sister Xu, help, we can't hold on for much longer!"
Not far away stood a graceful woman in a flowing white dress, her temperament cold and composed. Wielding an ancient sword, she slashed out with sword qi, striking three eighth-level corpse kings. Sparks flew as she drove them back again and again.
"Junior Brother Mo, hold on for just a little longer. I'll be there as soon as I finish with these three."
Encouraged by her words, the four disciples continued to grit their teeth and fight. They were all elite and core disciples of the Spring Autumn Sect, and their cultivation was strong.
Under Senior Sister Xu's lead, they had entered the Fiendish Corpse Mountain Range to slay corpse kings and obtain their corpse cores.
From the moment they entered, they had swept through the range, digging out and destroying corpse kings wherever they found them.
Thus, as they continued hunting, they reached the depths of the Fiendish Corpse Mountain Range.
The strength of the corpse kings in the depths of the Fiendish Corpse Mountain Range was incomparable to that of those in the outer region.
Their current situation made that clear: they faced three eighth-level and one seventh-level Yuanfu realm corpse kings.
If it weren't for the powerful Senior Sister Xu, at the ninth-level Yuanfu realm, this squad would likely have perished here.
Senior Sister Xu was indeed powerful.
She faced the siege of three eighth-level Yuanfu realm corpse kings alone, fearlessly. She was like a female sword immortal, leaving wounds on the three corpse kings as she swung her ancient sword.
Suddenly, her aura flared. Gathering her strength, she slashed at a corpse king.
"Annihilate!"
The terrifying sword qi ravaged heaven and earth, cleaving the corpse king.
Senior Sister Xu didn't stop and sent out another two slashes, killing the remaining corpse kings.
Chi, chi!
Though victorious, the effort had taken its toll. Her face turned pale, and sweat streamed down her brow.
After killing the three corpse kings, she rushed toward the seventh-level Yuanfu realm corpse king.
Puchi!
As a white light flashed, Senior Sister Xu cut down the corpse king that had been pressuring Junior Brother Mo and her other companions.
Junior Brother Mo and the others wiped their sweat and gave her a thumbs up.
"Amazing, Senior Sister Xu."
"Quickly collect the loot and recover your true qi," said Senior Sister Xu as she took out elixirs and threw them into her mouth to recover.
The five of them soon mostly recovered and continued going deeper.
"Look, Senior Sister Xu, what's that ahead?"
