Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 701 - Displaying His Divine Might

“Me!” Chen Fan stepped forward, and the space beneath him seemed to contract instantly. He quickly appeared in the sky above the battlefield.

“Chen Fan, it’s Chen Fan!” Xiao Zhen and the others recognized him immediately, shouting in disbelief.

“It really is Chen Fan!”

The rest, having heard of Chen Fan's reputation and seen his portrait, quickly recognized him as well.

Among them, one person discreetly sent word of Chen Fan’s appearance, their movements hidden beneath a casual gesture.

Xiao Yan and the other half-step Heavenly Star experts also looked at Chen Fan, their expressions complex—none more so than Xiao Yan.

Like Chen Fan, he had once walked the Gen Road as a rising genius. When Chen Fan was still unknown, Xiao Yan's title of Flame King had already shaken the Gen Road, placing him on par with figures like the First Dragon Lord.

He had even crossed blows with Chen Fan in the Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold’s microcosm. However, Chen Fan had devoured his primeval flames, deeply shocking him.

Though they hadn’t met since then, Xiao Yan knew of Chen Fan's journey, how he carved a bloody path through relentless pursuit, gaining fame that now echoed across the world.

And Chen Fan had even caused a stir on the Peerless Peak after entering the academy.

Xiao Yan felt a lot of emotions in his heart. The same thoughts weighed heavily on Li Yao, Gongsun Zhong, and others, who had known Chen Fan even longer.

From being about as strong as them two years ago, Chen Fan had now left them in the dust.

That was especially true for Li Yao, a descendant of Emperor Li and a proud son of heaven who had always stood above the rest. In the Hong Domain, he could look down on all martial artists from the same generation.

He was the first of the younger generation to step into the Divine Nascent realm, and now, at the eighth level of that realm, he was considered incredibly powerful.

Chen Fan, however, was already at the ninth level. Even more astonishing, he could fight half-step Heavenly Star experts when he was only at the seventh level. The speed of his growth left Li Yao in disbelief.

“Lowly human, how dare you sneak attack our honorable demon army?! You deserve to die!”

The asura commander’s eyes, as large as copper bells, narrowed as he noticed Chen Fan's cultivation level. Despite sensing that Chen Fan was even more dangerous than Xiao Yan and the others, he still believed Chen Fan couldn't possibly match him.

“I’ve heard that exact sentence more times than you can count. Just ten days before, an asura, one just like you, said the same thing before I killed him. You will follow him soon." Chen Fan casually picked his ear, clearly unimpressed by the commander’s threat.

The asura commander flew into a rage and said, “Insect, what did you say? You were the one who killed Xiu Yi in the mountain range? You damned insect, how dare you?!”

“Why wouldn’t I? Now, I dare to kill you too," Chen Fan replied with a smirk.

“Ahhh, you lowly worm, I’ll kill you!” roared the enraged commander, his Asura Staff surging with demonic qi, smashing toward Chen Fan with the force to crush heaven and earth.

“Hmph!” Chen Fan snorted coldly, unfazed. He reached into the void, condensing a true primeval hand that collided with the asura commander’s attack.

The earth shook, the mountains swayed, and the stars crumbled at once.

Rumble!

The asura commander was twice as powerful as Xiu Yi, yet Chen Fan, now at the ninth-level Divine Nascent realm, shattered his killing move with a casual strike. His terrifying power sent the commander flying.

Woah!

The crowd below gasped in disbelief. That powerful asura commander, a Heavenly Star realm expert, had been the key to holding them back.

Without him, they would have already broken through the demon army. It was because of his strength that they had been trapped and forced to call for outside help.

However, Chen Fan had sent someone that powerful flying with one move. The shock left them speechless, their jaws practically kissing the ground.

How strong was Chen Fan?

He wasn’t even at the half-step Heavenly Star realm, yet he sent the asura commander flying with a casual palm strike—even genuine Heavenly Star realm martial artists couldn’t do that.

“How terrifying! It’s no wonder he could become the eighth disciple of the Peerless Peak. He’s too monstrous.”

“I know, right? This asura commander is one of the strongest at the first-level Heavenly Star realm. Most first-level experts wouldn't be able to stand against him, yet Chen Fan swept him away like it was nothing. That’s too terrifying.”

“And he is only in the ninth-level Divine Nascent realm. How strong will he be in the Heavenly Star realm? Birds of a feather indeed flock together. The Peerless Peak guys are all super freaks.”

“Forget about that. Chen Fan resolved our crisis. Quickly kill these demons!”

“Right, kill the demons!”

“......”

The crowd quickly turned the tide of battle. Moments earlier, they had been struggling under the relentless pressure of the demon army, barely holding on.

With Chen Fan suppressing the asura commander, the burden on them eased dramatically, allowing them to launch a counterattack.

With Xiao Yan and several other half-step Heavenly Star realm geniuses around, the demon army was beaten back in a flash, collapsing in disarray.

“You damned lowly worm. How could you be so strong!” shouted the commander in disbelief. Chen Fan had thoroughly humiliated him.

Chen Fan smiled faintly, “I am not strong; you’re just too weak.”

“Damn human, you’re insulting the noble Asuras. Die, die, die!” roared the asura commander furiously like a maniac. His demonic qi surged, boiling and burning as he charged at Chen Fan again.

His staff swept across the sky with the force of a demon god on a rampage, destroying an area of the starry sky in a single sweep.

“Demon Sweeps the Universe!”

Air currents howled and exploded violently, but Chen Fan laughed, unfazed.

Woo, woo, woo...

“A little demon like you still dares to act tough. Die!” He strode forward, unshaken by the monstrous force, like an immovable boulder.

He unleashed the Great Brahma Sacred Palm. A gigantic golden palm lit up the darkened sky as it swept across.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Great Brahma Sacred Palm destroyed the asura commander’s attack.

The gigantic golden palm continued sweeping over, collapsing the air. With a loud boom, the asura commander exploded.

“Ah, how is this possible!” his horrified voice echoed as he was annihilated by Chen Fan's palm strike. The sheer terror of being destroyed so effortlessly was beyond comprehension.

“Demon sinner, die!”

Chen Fan cast out the Heaven Seizing Furnace, taking in the asura commander’s flesh and blood and refining it right away.

In a matter of moments, the asura commander that had ruled in the Little Demon Realm for countless years was annihilated by Chen Fan with little to no effort.
