Chapter 346 - End of Challenge
In the Tianwu Continent, the Nebulous Divine Palace used to be a colossal sect and the leader of the righteous sects.
The Nebulous Divine Token symbolized the Nebulous Divine Palace, a possession beyond the reach of ordinary individuals.
However, the token had lost its significance with the Nebulous Divine Palace consigned to history. Obtaining a lower-profound tier martial arts manual would serve more practical purposes.
The white light elder suddenly switched topics and said, “The Nebulous Divine Palace is gone, but if you get the opportunity to enter the Nebulous Divine Realm in the future, perhaps you can use this token to enter the core area of the divine palace and obtain the many legacies within.”
Although the Nebulous Divine Palace had faded into history, its legacies endured, their whereabouts shrouded in mystery. They might resurface one day or remain forever hidden.
The elder put the Nebulous Divine Token away and looked at Chen Fan. “Alright, kid, decide whether to proceed with the test.”
Chen Fan did not say a word; instead, he expressed his choice through his actions.
Although the prospects of obtaining the legacies of the Nebulous Divine Palace seemed unreal, even if there was no reward for the ninth stage, Chen Fan would still fight the elder to test his strength.
“Haha, good, come on then!” The white light elder laughed out loud. He suddenly pounced, generating a powerful gust of wind that enveloped Chen Fan with formidable pressure.
Chen Fan had expected him to be strong, but his heart still jumped in fright from that move.
The crowd had to join forces at the white marble plaza to slay the piranha king. It was not a feat accomplished by relying on an individual’s strength.
So, Chen Fan was facing someone as strong, if not stronger, as the piranha king alone. Although he had grown stronger since then, the pressure remained as heavy as a mountain.
“Let’s fight!” Chen Fan's eyes betrayed no hint of fear, even in the face of immense pressure.
A fierce fighting spirit rose within him. Three heads and six arms appeared at his back, ferociously attacking the oncoming elder.
Boom, boom, boom!
Terrifying booms rang out repeatedly like claps of thunder. The entire white light dome shook violently, their qi storming out, and the air exploded everywhere.
In the epicenter of their collision, the airflow collapsed, sending out ripples of terrifying force like rushing river currents.
Swish!
The elder suddenly disappeared from the spot; when he reappeared, he was already in the air, above Chen Fan.
Pressing down with a palm, the space produced a loud noise as the terrifying strength rushed over like a crashing wave.
The boundless pressure descended like a mountain, savagely tearing through the void and homing in on Chen Fan below. The elder showed no restraint in his attack.
Chen Fan raised his spear horizontally, defending himself.
Thump!
The overwhelming force bore down upon him, causing his back to bend and the ground beneath his feet to crack, fractures spreading like a spider's web.
Chen Fan’s six arms struck out ferociously. Every punch carried the strength to shake the starry sky, his strength rushing out like a flood.
“Break!”
The elder laughed out loud as his palm strike pressed down, suppressing Chen Fan. His might was unmatched.
“Northern Star Reaper Hand!” Chen Fan shouted, directly executing his ace in the hole.
Rumble!
The Northern Star Reaper Hand crushed everything.
The terrifying palm force exploded, throwing the elder back in the air and making his glowing form flicker.
“Hoho, impressive indeed. You still have such a powerful trick up your sleeve. Truly shocking.”
He had been fighting Chen Fan since the seventh stage. Chen Fan seemingly went all out in every stage, making the elder think he had used his final ace. However, he would prove that the elder had assumed wrong in the next stage.
Chen Fan seemed like a bottomless abyss, his strength seemingly limitless and unfathomable.
“But, kid, the difference in our cultivations is too great. Great Brahma Sacred Palm!”
When the white light elder struck out with his palm, boundless golden light shone, and a huge golden palm seal came flying.
Rumble!
Chen Fan channeled his cultivation, his primordial energy surging through his meridians like a mighty river. His seven illusory primeval vessels rotated wildly, abruptly raising his combat strength by seven times.
“Northern Star Reaper Hand!”
The white light elder sensed Chen Fan’s aura surging again and was astonished.
“Hmm, you really are a bottomless pit, kid.”
Boom, thump!
The collision of their attacks sent shockwaves rippling through space.
Crack, crack, crack!
The sturdy white light dome cracked open under the immense pressure, revealing numerous fissures—a truly astonishing sight.
Poof, tch!
Chen Fan flew back like a ragdoll, crashing on the ground and spewing large mouthfuls of blood.
The elder also flew back but was faring much better than Chen Fan. In the clash of their techniques, it became clear who was stronger.
Chen Fan stood back up. He bowed to the elder and said, “I have lost, Senior.”
He was no match for the white-light elder. There was no doubt about it.
An expert of the Illusory Core realm with a ninety percent solid core was too strong for Chen Fan, even though he was already at the ninth level.
However, if he could master the Nine Illusory Primeval Vessel Secret Art and use nine illusory primeval vessels, thereby unleashing nine times his combat strength, he could fight the elder to a draw.
The white light elder nodded and said, “You've shown remarkable skill. Even compared to the ancient geniuses who reached the ninth stage, you'd rank among the elite. However..."
After a momentary pause, the white light elder continued, “Although you lost, I’ll give you this Nebulous Divine Token regardless. Hopefully, you’ll find the Nebulous Divine Realm in the future and enter the core of the divine palace.”
The Nebulous Divine Token flew toward Chen Fan.
“Senior, this...”
The elder smiled and said, “Take it. If you can inherit the legacies of the Nebulous Divine Palace, you will also bring the Nebulous Divine Palace back to the Tianwu Continent. Aside from this, I would like to give you a personal gift.”
As soon as his voice fell, a streak of light rushed into Chen Fan’s brow and transformed into a martial skill—the Great Brahma Sacred Palm.
“Alright, kid, go on.”
The white light elder flung his sleeves. A light descended and enveloped Chen Fan; simultaneously, a mass of pure energy entered him, healing his injuries instantly.
Before Chen Fan could speak a word, the world seemed to spin around him, and in the blink of an eye, he found himself back on the white marble plaza.
The gates of the Nebulous Battle Palace closed with a resounding thud.
Everyone's gaze fell on Chen Fan. No one had expected him to be the last to exit. They wondered how many stages he cleared.
“It’s over.”
“The battle palace’s gate shut. It means everyone’s challenges have ended. Who can say how many stages he completed? ”
“Five or six at the most. Just because he exited last doesn't necessarily mean he's cleared the most stages. He might have simply taken longer to clear each.”
“......”
The crowd's murmurs filled the air as they glanced at Chen Fan, curious about his results.
Among them, Qiu Beihai's gaze bore a sinister edge as it fell on Chen Fan.
“This little bastard broke through to the ninth level!”
Qiu Beihai looked bitter, as he couldn’t kill Chen Fan now.
Rumble!
As the crowd talked, a terrifying qi fluctuation suddenly reached them, making the bottom of the lake tremble, and the lake waters churn intensely.
