Unrivaled Martial Emperor

In a valley, Huang Wuji looked at Chen Fan and the others and asked, "How are you feeling?"

It had been five days since the battle. They had spent that time recuperating here.

Before Huang Wuji arrived, Chen Fan and the others had been fighting with all their strength, risking their lives in a desperate rampage. Their combat power soared, but the aftermath was harsh.

When reinforcements joined Zi Dongyang's side later on, even that rampage wasn't enough. Chen Fan and the others were forced into a defensive state, taking heavy damage, internally and externally.

"I'm fine. Mostly recovered." Chen Fan exhaled a breath of turbid qi. He still felt slightly weak, but that was no major issue.

Duanmu Lingxing and Jian Qi, though also mostly healed, still looked pale.

Before Chen Fan and Di Chen arrived, they had relied on Duanmu Lingxing alone to hold on. Facing the indiscriminate bombardment from people like Luo Hao and Zi Dongyang, her foundation had suffered.

Jian Qi had it no better: Zi Dongyang severed his left arm.

"It's all my fault for being useless. If I were a little stronger, Senior Sister and Jian Qi wouldn't have suffered such heavy injuries." Zhu Yue's eyes turned red as she looked at Jian Qi's missing arm.

Under Luo Hao and the others' relentless pursuit, they had become burdens to Duanmu Lingxing and Yan Weiyi.

Zhuge Mingyue's expression was also dark, filled with guilt.

Jian Qi's pale face revealed a smile as he said to Zhu Yue, "Senior Brother, this is not your fault."

Di Chen asked, "What do we do next?"

Chen Fan said, overflowing with killing intent, "We suffered a major loss. We can't just let it slide. Besides, I'm sure that Zi Dongyang, Luo Hao, and the others are likely contacting forces from Ziyang, Tianxuan, and the other continents to wipe us out.

"Once they gather, they won't just outnumber us; they'll also overpower us. Senior Brothers and Sisters, I think we should first find opportunities to help Fifth Senior Sister, Sixth Senior Brother, and Seventh Senior Brother advance to the Legendary realm. Once all of us reach that level, we'll crush those from the other continents and make them pay."

Chen Fan didn't want to let Zi Dongyang and the others go unpunished.

But they weren't ready yet. At the very least, Zhuge Mingyue, Zhu Yue, and Jian Qi were holding them back. If they struck now, the trio's lack of strength would drag them down.

"Right, Little Junior Brother has a point. Mingyue, Sixth, Seventh, you guys are only a step away from the Legendary realm. There are plenty of opportunities here. Let's hold off on revenge for now and focus on helping you step into the Legendary realm. Once you've crossed that threshold, it'll be our turn to act."

Huang Wuji agreed with Chen Fan's plan. They would push the trio's cultivation up first before doing anything else.

This land was abundant with opportunities. Many had already broken through to the Legendary realm, starting their journey as true Legends.

At this point, quasi-Legends were barely above cannon fodder.

"Let's get moving, then."

Di Chen, Duanmu Lingxing, and the others had no opinion.

......

As Chen Fan had predicted, Zi Dongyang, Luo Hao, and the others were contacting forces from the continents that had formed a deep grudge with the Tianwu Continent, like the Tianxuan, Ziyang, and Tianhun continents.

The foreign forces, having suffered major losses at Tianwu, had issued orders to the top talents of their sects before the Immortal Draft Assembly had begun: eliminate all Tianwu's cultivators.

As word from Zi Dongyang, Luo Hao, and the others spread, the people of the various continents scattered across the land sprang into motion, rushing over to join up with Zi Dongyang's group.

News of the fierce battle from days ago had already circulated. Many learned how the group of five from the Tianwu Continent had nearly been wiped out, only surviving thanks to the arrival of Chen Fan and Di Chen.

Huang Wuji's later arrival had completely overturned the situation. The siege collapsed, resulting in devastating losses for Zi Dongyang's group. Many of their elites were killed.

These fallen were not nobodies: they were top talents from prestigious sects across the continents. Their deaths enraged their allies. One after another, they rallied to Zi Dongyang, determined to strike back and take revenge on Chen Fan's group.

Even though there was Huang Wuji, a Greater Legendary realm, many from the opposing continents had also reached the fourth test. Some had gained immense opportunities and stepped into the Greater Legendary realm as well.

Now, elites from several continents had gathered, numbering forty to fifty. There were three Greater Legends and twenty to thirty Lesser Legends.

This force was nothing short of terrifying.

"I'll skip the unnecessary nonsense. I'm sure your sect gave you clear orders before the Immortal Draft Assembly began: find a chance to eliminate the Tianwu Continent's people and settle the score. There's no doubt about that."

Luo Hao's gaze swept through the crowd present, his voice resounding through space.

"We didn't get any chances in the first three tests. The fourth test is a good opportunity for us to take revenge and seize immortal affinity. That said, if we want to kill them, we must work together. No single continent can take on Chen Fan's group alone."

A cold voice followed—Ji Feixue, a slim man beside Luo Hao and a Greater Legendary realm expert from the Underworld King Palace, stepped forward.

"Luo Hao, we know that. Cooperation is certain, but they've likely figured that out and gone into hiding. The test ground is vast. It won't be easy to find them."

On Luo Hao's left side, Ye Yuanming spoke up.

"That's simple. We split up. With three Greater Legends among us, each can lead a team to search. After finding them, send a signal to contact the others, then we'll surround them with our full force!"

Not long ago, Ye Yuanming had been at the peak of the Lesser Legendary realm. After Chen Fan broke through, he had chased Ye Yuanming for days. But now, his aura had clearly risen; he had stepped into the Greater Legendary realm.

It turned out that he had obtained an opportunity during this period, using it to break past the bottleneck.

His hatred for Chen Fan ran deep. Now, empowered and fueled by vengeance, Ye Yuanming was determined to find him and settle the score once and for all.
