“I’ll remember you!” Murong Qing said his last words before his silhouette collapsed. This was only a trace of his immortal will, not his true self. Furthermore, although he was an Immortal King realm powerhouse, a trace of immortal will couldn’t sustain much of his powers. At most, it could only display strength at the high-level Immortal Platform realm. Had it carried his true Immortal King might, not even the detonation of the Blood Ax could’ve saved Chen Fan, he would’ve been crushed without a chance to resist. Murong Clan, Imperial Supremacy Heavenly Domain: As an Immortal Emperor clan, the Murong Clan’s history could be traced back to a million years ago. In a large courtyard that was like a majestic palace hall, a figure suddenly opened his eyes. This person was none other than Murong Qing. “The immortal will I left on Ting’er has been triggered!” A fierce light flashed across Murong Qing’s eyes. Next, as though peering through space and time, the events in the Apex Mystic Immortal Manor’s remains replayed before him. “Interesting, he detonated his treasures to block my strike... Hmm, this saber...” He saw Chen Fan detonating his treasures, unleashing the Vicious Suppressor saber, and narrowly surviving. Murong Qing’s gaze sharpened. “It left a mark on my heavenly monument even when wielded by a Greater Legendary ant. That saber’s not ordinary. It’s definitely a king-grade immortal artifact...” A peculiar look flashed across Murong Qing’s eyes. “He actually escaped death. Interesting, too interesting. Very well, I’ll remember you!” He slowly closed his eyes once more. “The Immortal King’s immortal will has dissipated. What terrifying might. As expected of a powerhouse existence!” “That monument was made entirely of laws, suppressing everything. That was too terrifying.” “An Immortal King’s immortal will struck, yet that kid survived?” “My god, what was it that he detonated? An immortal artifact, right? No way a low-grade one could produce that kind of force. It had to be a mid-grade immortal artifact, right? Damn it, he actually detonated a mid-grade immortal artifact. He’s simply a wastrel!” “It can’t be helped. Facing an Immortal King’s immortal will, his life was at risk. Who would hesitate to use an artifact in that situation? Still... got to respect the guts it takes to blow up something like that without blinking.” Countless divine wills collided between heaven and earth, discussing the earlier events. Many in the vicinity had witnessed it firsthand. Chen Fan, trapped in a death scenario, had detonated treasures to carve out a path to survival against an Immortal King’s will. Chen Fan charged deep into the flaming mountain range, right into a den of flaming monsters. Startled by the shockwaves, the monsters stirred and lunged at him. Without hesitation, Chen Fan drew the surrounding flames onto himself, masking his presence from their senses. He quickly found a cave and slipped inside. He had sustained severe injuries, worse than ever before. He didn’t know how strong that Immortal King was, but even the trace of will he’d faced exceeded most Immortal Platform experts. If he didn’t have the Blood Ax, he might’ve been forced to detonate the Vicious Suppressor saber as a last resort. He couldn’t hold it in any longer and spewed blood furiously as soon as he entered the cave, only for it to sizzle and evaporate instantly, burned away by the flames still clinging to him. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn ɴovelfire.net He hurriedly stuffed recovery elixirs into his mouth, like they were candies. “Damn it, I lost big this time!” The Heaven and Earth Furnace rotated fiercely, refining the medicinal properties, slowly healing his injuries. The detonation of the Blood Ax had nearly neutralized the heavenly monument. Its powers were greatly reduced, but it was still comparable to the full-powered strike from a Void Immortal expert. Had his Hegemonic Golden Body not reached level 43, making his toughness comparable to a quasi-immortal artifact, he wouldn’t have merely suffered a broken body. Half of him would’ve been obliterated on the spot. “Murong Ting! Murong Ting!” Chen Fan kept repeating Murong Ting’s name. He had planned everything carefully: bait Murong Ting into underestimating him, then unleash the Blood Ax for a killing blow. But he hadn’t expected Murong Ting’s defenses to be so strong. That purple inner vest blocked most of the power, but the remaining force still ruptured Murong Ting’s organs and threatened his life, but it also triggered Murong Qing’s immortal will. None of this had been part of Chen Fan’s plan. Then again, it wasn’t entirely unexpected. He only knew Murong Ting was from the Apex Mystic Sect; he hadn’t known anything about his powerful background. Time passed quickly. A month had gone by. On this day, Chen Fan finally opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid qi. He consumed a huge amount of valuable recovery elixirs and immortal stones during this one month of recuperation. Finally, his injuries had stabilized, and he had recovered around fifty to sixty percent. There was no helping it. Even with his monstrous recovery speed, the damage had been too severe. If it had been any other Greater Legendary realm cultivator in his place, they would’ve died on the spot, even with treasure detonations. Chen Fan could withstand it all because of his powerful Hegemonic Golden Body. “I will settle this score sooner or later. When I see Murong Ting again, let’s see if there’s still an immortal will to save him.” A sharp glint flashed in Chen Fan’s eyes. He wasn’t the kind to swallow a loss quietly. Once he was strong enough and the opportunity came, he would take revenge without hesitation. This time, he’d not only been seriously injured; he’d lost nearly everything he’d built up over the years. His treasures and resources were gone in one night. He didn’t believe that there were more immortal wills on Murong Ting. However, Chen Fan also knew that after this incident, Murong Ting would not underestimate him again. Worse, he had already detonated the Blood Ax, and the Vicious Suppressor saber couldn’t be used carelessly. Killing Murong Ting next time wouldn’t be easy. “Middle-stage Greater Legendary realm.” Chen Fan stood up. As soon as he moved, crackling noises rang out all over from him like firecrackers were set off. He had sat cross-legged like a statue for an entire month, not making the slightest movements, even though he was enduring the pain of the blazing flames tempering his physique. He felt like he was about to rust. Throughout that month, he’d endured the pain and consumed every last immortal stone he had. Most of the energy had gone into strengthening his physique, but some also went into cultivation. As a result, his Hegemonic Golden Body advanced to level 44. His cultivation also broke through. Now, he was officially at the middle-stage Greater Legendary realm. “I wonder what the situation outside is like now? Have they found a way out?” Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly as he walked out of the cave. The flaming monsters outside didn’t notice him, allowing him to openly walk right past them. Suddenly, he overheard someone speaking in the distance. It turned out that the way out of this flaming mountain range had been found. “Good news, the way to leave this flaming mountain has been found.”
