Unrivaled Martial Emperor

"You lunatic!"

Ye Yuanming was truly terrified.

That shocking collision earlier had severely injured them both.

Ye Yuanming was already heavily injured, and Chen Fan ignored his injuries and came rushing with the Blood Ax in hand, breaking through the violent waves. His ferocious gaze made Ye Yuanming's scalp turn numb.

Enduring the pain, Chen Fan activated the Blood Ax and slashed at him.

"Go to hell!"

His expression changed. He immediately tossed out a treasure that expanded into a small mountain, blocking his front.

Boom, tch!

The Grade-7 treasure couldn't withstand the slash from Chen Fan and was cleaved apart.

However, Ye Yuanming seized this opportunity to steady himself and fled without hesitation.

He no longer dared fight this madman; even if he won, it would be a pyrrhic victory. There was nothing to gain; only others would profit from his struggle.

"You won't get away!" roared Chen Fan and gave chase.

Soon, the two of them disappeared from the crowd's sight.

The nearby crowd stood blankly on the spot, looking at one another.

That was it? Just like that?

"Forget it. An immortal artifact's nice, but I need to stay alive. If I get involved with that lunatic Chen Fan, it's death either way."

"That's right. Either kill him at once, or wait for his crazy revenge."

"I can already imagine how Ye Yuanming feels. At this point, there's no way Chen Fan won't chase him for days."

"I didn't expect things to end like this in the end, with Ye Yuanming getting chased down."

The crowd shook their heads one after another, smiling bitterly in helplessness.

Before long, news of Chen Fan chasing down Ye Yuanming spread.

Time passed quickly, and three days passed.

During that time, the news of Chen Fan's pursuit spread rapidly. Many swore they had seen it, describing Ye Yuanming's pitiful condition.

Many people were taken aback.

About half a month ago, Ye Yuanming had chased Chen Fan for seven days and nights; now, the tables had turned.

Soon, word got out that Chen Fan had stepped into the Legendary realm, and his power had surged. Everyone sighed in realization: no wonder.

A figure sat cross-legged on a hillside.

It was Chen Fan.

As rumors claimed, he had indeed chased Ye Yuanming for three days and nights.

But Ye Yuanming, being at the peak of the Lesser Legendary realm, wasn't someone easily killed.

Of course, even though he failed to kill Ye Yuanming, he didn't let him off easy, forcing him to flee in disgrace, his reputation in tatters.

Phew.

Chen Fan exhaled a mouthful of turbid qi. He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze electrifying.

His injuries were about fifty to sixty percent healed.

"My immortal affinity is five hundred and sixty feet, still short of the required thousand. Only twenty-some days have passed. No rush. I wonder how my senior brothers and sisters are doing now."

Chen Fan stood up and looked into the distance.

He had started with three hundred and thirty feet of immortal affinity. The Golden Dragon Heavenly Lingzhi and the meteor hammer-wielding man helped him reach his current length.

Chen Fan shot out.

Now, he had already advanced to the Legendary realm. Even though he was not the strongest among the eight hundred examinees, he had the strength to protect himself now. Even if a Greater Legendary realm expert attacked him, he could defend himself.

A few more days passed.

This land was endless. Given Chen Fan's current speed, he could cover hundreds of kilometers in a flash; despite days of travel, the horizon never changed.

No wonder he had encountered so few people lately, let alone his senior brothers and sisters.

The few he did run into were quickly robbed of their immortal affinity, but he didn't kill them. After all, as long as they lived, they could keep searching.

One day, he reached a vast rift valley, drawn by the presence of others.

Swish!

He entered the valley and soon spotted someone: his second senior brother, Di Chen.

Without delay, he flew over.

"Second Senior Brother!"

"Little Junior Brother." Di Chen also didn't expect to run into Chen Fan here. A smile appeared on his face, and he said, "You've advanced to the Legendary realm. Not bad."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Compared to you, I still have a long way to go."

He sensed Di Chen's aura—late-stage Lesser Legendary.

Clearly, his senior brother had gained some fortuitous encounters as well. His immortal affinity had already surpassed six hundred feet.

"Hahahaha, your name's all over the place these days. I heard you chased Ye Yuanming for three days and nights."

"Haaa, I still let him escape ."

"Oh, please. You just advanced to the Legendary realm and dared chase a peak Lesser Legendary realm expert? No one else would've even tried."

Chen Fan dropped this matter and changed the topic. "Second Senior Brother, do you have news of our other brothers and sisters? I've covered a lot of ground over the last few days, but this place is too vast. I barely ran into anyone, only ended up here by chance, and found you."

Di Chen shook his head and said, "Same here. I haven't met them, or even heard anything."

"Haaa, there's no need to worry about First Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister, but Fourth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior sister, and the Sixth and Seventh Senior Brothers... they're the ones I'm concerned about. Plenty of people hold grudges against us. If they run into Legendary realm experts from Tianxuan or Ziyang continents, they'll be in real danger."

"No need to worry too much. They might be off digesting their gains and advancing to the Legendary realm. This is a blessed land. I've obtained quite a few opportunities and treasures over these past days. Without them, I couldn't have reached the late-stage Lesser Legendary realm."

"Mmm, Second Senior Brother, since we have met, let's stick together and push our immortal affinity to a thousand feet first. Sound good?"

"Alright." Di Chen didn't decline the offer, as traveling together would be much safer.

The two flew out of the rift valley.

Several days later.

"Second Senior Brother, someone is here."

Chen Fan and Di Chen stood in a canyon, sensing multiple people approaching from the front.

Naturally, those people also sensed them; after all, immortal affinity allowed mutual detection.

As the group arrived at the canyon, ready to strike and seize their immortal affinity, they recognized Chen Fan and Di Chen. They were both Lesser Legendary realm experts, so the group quickly turned and fled.

Although there were also two Legends among them, they were only in the early-stage Lesser Legendary realm, far from comparable to Chen Fan and Di Chen.

"Stop right there!"

How could Chen Fan let them leave? If they seized this group's immortal affinity, they could break the thousand-foot threshold.

The leader, a peak early-stage Lesser Legendary, paled and quickly begged for mercy. "Spare us, Chen Fan. I have important news!"

He had witnessed Chen Fan overcoming his tribulation and fighting Ye Yuanming afterward. He was well aware of Chen Fan's strength; with Di Chen, a late-stage Lesser Legendary, beside him, resisting was pointless.

"Oh? What news?" Chen Fan and Di Chen smirked.

"It's big. And it concerns you."

"Concerns us?" Chen Fan raised a brow. "We're standing right here. What could possibly concern us?"

"I know you're from the Peerless Peak of the True Martial Academy. Your senior brothers and sisters are currently being pursued and are in desperate situations. So, you tell me. Isn't that your business?"

"What? Say that again!"

All of a sudden, Chen Fan and Di Chen's faces changed. Their overwhelming auras burst forth, sending sand and rock flying through the canyon.
