Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Seeing Chen Fan activating the Dawn Suppression Divine Talisman, the Blood Emperor's eyeballs nearly popped out, and he vomited blood in anger.

"Little bastard, you..."

Chen Fan laughed out loud as he darted away at full speed.

"Haha, Blood Emperor, thank you for the gift."

As Chen Fan activated the Dawn Suppression Divine Talisman and struck it toward the chains, the Blood Emperor, caught off-guard at such close range, had no way to stop him. He could only watch as the talisman's powers surged into the Dawn Suppression Divine Iron.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Whoosh.

Moments later, the nine Dawn Suppression Divine Iron Chains erupted with even more resplendent light. The black spots that once flickered within, evidence of years of corrosion and refinement by the Blood Emperor, vanished completely.

Now infused with the talisman's restorative force, the eroded areas recovered in an instant.

Crackle!

The nine chains shimmered like conduits of divine lightning, flashing arcs of energy surged across them before lashing out and striking the Blood Emperor's head. His miserable screams immediately rang out.

With the Dawn Suppression Divine Iron repaired, they radiated even more punishing force.

Meanwhile, the Blood Emperor, already depleted from years of slow consumption and severely wounded by the small golden figure in the past, was now at his weakest.

Consequently, the Blood Emperor's head couldn't resist the Dawn Suppression Divine Iron, as it had recovered to eighty or ninety percent of its powers. He cried out in pain from the attacks, cursing Chen Fan.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan had already arrived at the spatial tunnel. He could leave the Fiendish Corpse Space with just a step.

The Blood Emperor was extremely furious.

"Ahhh, you damned little son of a bitch, how dare you deceive and fool this emperor?! You're courting death. You're courting death, you know that?"

He had thought that with the Enticement Technique and the lure of power, he could control Chen Fan.

Although Chen Fan had the protection of the small golden person, if the Blood Emperor didn't attack him, the small golden person wouldn't counterattack.

Confident in his setup, the Blood Emperor was sure Chen Fan would eventually give in.

Earlier, Chen Fan's behavior seemed to confirm this. He appeared enticed, giving the Blood Emperor hope of breaking free.

He had known that Chen Fan couldn't break the Dawn Suppression Divine Iron with the bloody ax. After all, how could the treasure keeping his suppressed break from a mere mid-grade immortal artifact?

His real plan was to lure Chen Fan into attacking it, triggering a counterattack. With Chen Fan's weak cultivation, he'd be unable to endure the chains' counterattack.

That, in turn, would trigger the Mark of the Gods inside Chen Fan, making it attack the Dawn Suppression Divine Iron.

No matter how powerful the Dawn Suppression Divine Iron was, the Blood Emperor had eroded much of its power over the years. Facing the attack of the Mark of the Gods, it would surely break, setting him free.

It was a perfect plan until it failed.

Chen Fan had never succumbed to temptation. Everything he displayed earlier was just an act.

Now, the Blood Emperor's killing intent toward him had peaked, rivaling even his hatred for the Nebulous Immortal Palace.

Had he known that Chen Fan carried Dawn Suppression Divine Talismans and came specifically to reinforce the seal, he would've never allowed him near the Dawn Suppression Divine Iron.

Even if Chen Fan had activated the talismans, he could've intervened.

But now, it was all too late.

The Blood Emperor had thought Chen Fan was under his control; unexpectedly, Chen Fan had merely been playing along.

Facing the enraged Blood Emperor, he laughed lightly and said, "Hoho, you want to kill me? Try it after you break free."

The Blood Emperor's plans were indeed perfect. Even if Chen Fan had the small golden person, it wouldn't have made any moves as long as the emperor didn't attack Chen Fan. Chen Fan was supposed to fall for the bait.

What he hadn't expected was that Chen Fan also carried a divine item—the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

"Ant! Little bastard! How is this possible! How could you possibly resist my Enticement Technique? How?! Even if you are protected by the Mark of the Gods, I never attacked you or invaded your soul. How could you?" roared the Blood Emperor, overwhelmed with fury and disbelief.

He had suffered a complete reversal.

Losing a mid-grade immortal artifact didn't count for much at all for him. It couldn't even be considered a loss.

What infuriated him was that he had already eroded fifty to sixty percent of the Dawn Suppression Divine Iron's powers. Now, thanks to Chen Fan, his ten thousand years of effort were wasted.

Thinking of this, the killing intent in the Blood Emperor's heart surged violently like the Yangtze River, breaking the dike.

"Hoho, you still call yourself an Immortal Emperor. I didn't think you would be this stupid. I was just playing along with your little game. Entice me? Defy the heavens and rewrite my fate? Cast my immortal platform? What a joke! Since when have I needed anyone to change my destiny? Immortal platform? I'll forge it myself.

"Let alone the Immortal Platform realm or the Immortal King realm, I will reach the Immortal Emperor realm on my own. Who needs your help?!"

Chen Fan waved the bloody ax in his hand and laughed. "I came here to reinforce the seal. I didn't expect to walk away with a mid-grade immortal artifact, too.Tsk tsk, thank you so much for your generosity."

His words caused the Blood Emperor to vomit blood in anger and smoke to rise from his head.

"Ahhh!

"You damned ant, how dare you trick me. How dare you trick me!"

"You're so stupid. Who else would I trick if not you?" Chen Fan sneered coldly.

"Damn it, ant, you damned ant, you've thoroughly offended me, you know that? From this moment on, your fate has completely changed. This Dawn Suppression Divine Iron cannot shackle me. The day I break free will be the day you die. I'll capture your soul, turn it into a soul lamp, and let it burn for a thousand years, screaming every day. Your friends, your family, this entire continent—all will pay for your arrogance!"

"I'll be waiting, that is, if you ever manage to break free. However, I'll have already stepped into the Immortal Emperor realm and surpassed you completely. When that day comes, it'll mark your true end, demon."

With those words, Chen Fan turned and stepped into the spatial tunnel.

"Ahhh!" The Blood Emperor's head rampaged wildly. A terrifying aura kept erupting and sweeping out, forming a terrifying storm in space, destroying heaven and earth.

However, no matter how much he rampaged, he could not break free from the Dawn Suppression Divine Iron's shackle.

Now that the Dawn Suppression Divine Iron's power had recovered, escaping it within anything less than several thousand years was utterly impossible.
