Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 573 - Combat Strength Soars

Various insights into the Green Lotus Sword Scripture emerged in Chen Fan’s mind as he slowly grasped its secrets. His rate of comprehension was monstrous.

This was not surprising. Having obtained a Martial Dao Will fragment, even a superficial understanding of it had immensely benefited him.

A Martial Dao Will fragment was the embodiment of a Heavenly Star realm powerhouse’s comprehension of a Martial Dao Will. It was like having a Heavenly Star realm mentor analyzing and explaining the profundities of the Green Lotus Sword Scripture to him.

Furthermore, Chen Fan’s natural talent was already extraordinary; with the fragment’s assistance, his swift progress rate seemed reasonable.

As for the outside conflicts and shifting dynamics, Chen Fan paid them no mind.

While it would be difficult for an alliance to conceal itself, a lone martial artist like him could easily hide on the vast island. Avoiding detection was a simple matter for Chen Fan.

Thus, Chen Fan was not afraid of them finding him. The island was enormous, and as long as he moved a bit further away, they would be unable to find him.

Days passed, turning into weeks until a month had gone by.

“Green Lotus appears!” Chen Fan flicked a finger of his right hand, and a streak of sword qi immediately shot out.

Chi!

A green lotus appeared in the air, transformed into sword qi, and shot out. It drew a deep mark on the cave wall, extending all the way to the top.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the sound of the earth trembling rang out, as if it was about to collapse. The entire cave shook violently, with pieces of rocks falling.

Before Chen Fan could react to the situation, the cave instantly collapsed, burying him.

Rumble!

A powerful aura erupted, sending debris flying and turning it into dust. Chen Fan emerged, covered in dirt.

“Is this for real? I just tested it lightly and made a cave collapse? Luckily, my cultivation is deep. Had a Yuanfu realm expert been here, they would have been crushed to bits.” Chen Fan smiled bitterly, shaking his head. With a quick shake, he cleared the dirt on him.

Despite the mishap, Chen Fan was pleasantly surprised. The Green Lotus Sword Qi was indeed formidable. A casual test had destroyed the cave.

“Very well, after a month, I am at the seventh layer of the Green Lotus Sword Scripture, having nurtured three streaks of Green Lotus Sword Qi inside me. Not bad, not bad.”

Chen Fan was very happy.

Although he used one of them, leaving only two, he felt very satisfied with its power. The past month had not been wasted.

Chen Fan’s achievements over the past month were not limited to just the Green Lotus Sword Scripture.

After consuming a large amount of Dragon Blood Rice, his Myriad Elephants Divine Art reached the peak of the fourteenth layer a few days ago. He was now only one step away from breaking through to the fifteenth layer and achieving complete mastery.

Unfortunately, he was unsure when he would be able to make this final breakthrough, as his remaining Dragon Blood Rice couldn’t help him advance to the fifteenth layer.

Aside from this, his cultivation had also progressed. He was now a four-revolution Golden Core realm expert.

“Given my current strength, I should be equal to an eight-revolution Golden Core expert, right?”

Chen Fan was very satisfied with the results he had achieved over this past month, feeling like he hadn’t wasted his month.

In one month, his strength had gone up several steps.

Of course, he also knew that while he was improving, so were others. Li Yao and the others have most likely also broken through to the eight-revolution Golden Core realm, not to mention they also had a page of the ancient scripture. Owing to that, they would be much stronger than other eight-revolution Golden Core experts.

“I wonder what the situation outside is like now? More than half of the hundred-day trial has passed, with fewer than twenty days left. I’m afraid it would be impossible for me to break through to the Divine Nascent realm in the remaining time.

“I’ll put all my effort into pushing the Myriad Elephants Divine Art to the fifteenth layer and achieve complete mastery then. With my current strength, hunting down those six or seven-revolution Golden Core great demonic beasts won’t be a problem. I’ll refine the true dragon bloodline in them to cross over this final threshold!”

After making up his mind, Chen Fan did not waste any more time and left the valley, heading toward the depths of the Hidden Dragon Island.

The closer he got to that ghost mountain, the more demonic beasts he would find. These beasts were stronger, and those with true dragon bloodlines were more common.

Previously, he hadn’t dared venture into this area due to his lack of strength, but now, with his increased power, he felt much more confident.

In this forest, waves of beast roars shook the space.

This place was the territory of ligers, with a pride of them living here.

However, disaster struck the pride of ligers. They possessed true dragon bloodlines, and Chen Fan had no intention of letting them escape.

The liger king was very powerful, in the seven-revolution Golden Core realm, with its own consciousness. It commanded a pride of ligers and dominated an area.

The liger king was currently covered in blood, its flesh cut open. Its beastly eyes were blood red, staring at Chen Fan. It roared furiously, “Human, my clan has no grievances with you, why are you hunting down my clansmen so brutally!”

Chen Fan snapped his fingers and said heedlessly, “What reason would I need! Wouldn’t you also want to devour me to increase your strength? The true dragon bloodline inside you is exactly what I need. That’s all there is to it.”

“Roar, ah, I’ll fight you to the death!” The liger king roared furiously, then suddenly pounced at Chen Fan ferociously. Its demonic qi covered the sky, and its ferocious might filled the sky.

“Fight me to the death? Did you think you’re worthy? Just die! To be able to become the nourishment to raise my cultivation is a blessing for a beast like you.”

Chen Fan slashed down violently and mercilessly with the Purgatory Divine Halberd in his hand, tearing the space apart.

The liger king’s demonic qi was sliced apart like a rag under the halberd’s power, and its massive frame was split in half.

Chen Fan grabbed at the empty air and brought the liger king’s corpse to him. The heaven-refining flames erupted and refined the liger king’s corpse, leaving only four to five drops of true dragon blood behind.

“Not bad. Five drops of true dragon blood. This liger king’s bloodline is quite powerful,” Chen Fan noted, collecting the five drops of true dragon blood.

He continued deeper into the island, knowing that five drops were far from enough to push his Myriad Elephants Divine Art to the fifteenth layer of complete mastery. He needed more, as much as he could gather.
