Zhao Jun kept trying to catch Chen Fan, but each time he was about to succeed, Chen Fan slipped away, always out of reach. He was like a slippery loach. Even if Zhao Jun set up an inescapable net of heaven and earth, Chen Fan would still find a gap to escape, driving Zhao Jun into a fury. “Zhao Jun, what did Gu Xun offer you to come after me? I’ll triple that. Let me go. How about that?” Chen Fan narrowly avoided Zhao Jun while trying to bargain. “Hmph, clever of you to guess Gu Xun sent me,” Zhao Jun said coldly, missing again. “Not that hard. I have pissed off only one idiot. Here, at least. Plus, I can see you’re also a disciple of the Featherlight Sect. So it was obvious that Gu Xun is behind this. So... Yes or no? Triple his offer.” “Hoho, sharp tongue. If you had said this earlier, I might have considered it. Now, I’m more interested in this martial art of yours!” “It’s not that I’m looking down on you, but even if I handed it over, you wouldn’t be able to master it.” “Won’t know unless I try. And letting you go means offending Gu Xun. Although I’m not afraid of him, he’s still the young patriarch of the Gu Clan, after all. If I’m out training and he sends Immortal Platform experts after me, I’m dead either way. So, you die here.” “I can offer you a thousand pieces of immortal stones. You could break through to the Immortal Platform realm with that and become a high-class disciple. Even if Gu Xun hates you and wants to deal with you, the Gu Clan will still have to weigh the pros and cons of the consequences of killing a high-class disciple.” “Hahahaha, kid, I’ll give you that you’re eloquent, and your offer’s tempting. Unfortunately, you’re just wasting your breath. Your life, your martial arts, and everything you own will soon be mine. Even your fortune, those thousand immortal stones, are only in your hands temporarily.” Zhao Jun was unmoved, leaving Chen Fan helpless. Without a choice, Chen Fan could only escape with all his might. The suppression of the Heavenly Realm was too great. Even though Chen Fan used the Wings of Rain Dragon, his speed was only about equal to Zhao Jun’s. He couldn’t shake him off. The two of them chased and fled, sweeping past the vast plains. Time passed in a blur, and half a month went by. During this period of time, Chen Fan was constantly running for his life. Once, he ran into demon bone spirits blocking his path, giving Zhao Jun a chance to almost catch him. Fortunately, he lured Zhao Jun to the territory of an Invincible Legendary realm demon bone spirit afterward, shifting the threat onto him. The distraction gave Chen Fan the break he needed to escape. He sat cross-legged in a cave. He spat out a mouthful of clotted blood, his gaze scarily cold. “Damned Zhao Jun! Damned Gu Xun!” Facing Zhao Jun, he was completely powerless to resist and could only keep fleeing. The Wings of Rain Dragon kept him out of reach, but not unharmed; shockwaves from Zhao Jun’s attacks had injured his organs. For now, all he could do was endure. But this grudge would be repaid. When he grew stronger, Zhao Jun would be the first to die. Swallowing a large handful of recovery elixirs, he quickly healed his injuries. Although he had thrown off Zhao Jun, it was clear the latter wouldn’t stop. When he got rid of that demon bone spirit, he would come hunting again. So, before that happened, Chen Fan needed to heal his injuries as soon as possible. Three days later, most of his injuries had healed, thanks to his freakish recovery speed. ; Anyone else would’ve needed at least ten days to half a month to recover from such injuries. A brilliant light flashed across his eyes. I’d better stay hidden and push my cultivation to the Greater Legendary realm first! He had already mastered over a thousand law threads. What held him back was his base cultivation, still short of the Greater Legendary threshold. Zhao Jun’s relentless pursuit had actually stabilized his foundation, giving him the perfect chance to advance. And against an opponent like Zhao Jun, higher cultivation meant better survival odds. Thus, Chen Fan took out an immortal stone. He began absorbing its vast energy and pushing toward his breakthrough. While he was in seclusion, a major event shook the outer edges of the Bone Demon Wasteland. In the western region of the wasteland, immortal light surged to the clouds. Clearly, a treasure or ancient legacy had emerged. Although the Bone Demon Wasteland was now one of the three deadliest zones in the eastern Imperial Supremacy Heavenly Domain, it was once home to countless immortal sects. These sects had long since fallen, but their legacies remained buried. That was why, despite the danger, many still ventured in. One stroke of luck, finding a sect’s ruins, could launch someone straight to the heavens. So, when an unusual phenomenon appeared in the western area of the Bone Demon Wasteland, news of it immediately spread, drawing many people over to check things out. Chen Fan, however, was unaware of this. He was fully immersed in his breakthrough. Immortal stones turned into powder one after another as he absorbed their energy, feeding the surge of his aura. The energy required for his breakthrough was enormous. He consumed three hundred immortal stones before his aura finally reached the threshold of the Greater Legendary realm. Then, like a dam breaking, it burst forth. A terrifying aura erupted from him, slamming into the cave walls. The whole cave shook violently as if it could collapse at any moment. Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes; a crackling light flashed within them. He slowly retracted his powerful aura, sealing the power within. He clenched his fist, feeling the power inside him. His strength had increased tenfold since the peak Lesser Legendary realm. The rightful source is noveⅼfire.net He could crush his former self with a single punch. “Excellent. I am finally a Greater Legend. But the cost was massive... three hundred immortal stones. At this rate, I’ll barely have enough left to reach mid or late-stage Greater Legendary,“ muttered Chen Fan. Originally, he thought that with over a thousand pieces of immortal stones, he could reach the Invincible Legendary realm or even the Void Immortal realm. However, he had underestimated just how much energy he would consume. Suddenly, he sensed some people flying in his direction. “Hoho, I wonder what kind of treasure or legacy triggered that phenomenon in the West. If it’s a treasure, I’m afraid we’re out of luck, but if it's a legacy, even leftovers might be worth it.” “Exactly. Half the region’s headed there, including even Invincible Legends and Void Immortals. I even heard some Immortal Platform realm figures are making moves.” “No way, if even Immortal Platform realm figures got involved, what chance do we have?” Tree silhouettes quickly flew toward Chen Fan’s side.
