Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 707 - Fleeing into the Storm

Woo, woo, woo. Woo, woo, woo.

The wind whistled sharply as heaven and earth trembled.

The world in front of Chen Fan had turned golden; the Evening Star Golden Storm had seemingly engulfed the entire Little Demon Realm.

Jian Qi and the other seniors had warned Chen Fan about some of the realm’s natural disasters, including this very storm.

The Evening Star Golden Storm was one of the more terrifying natural disasters here.

For martial artists, especially powerful martial artists like Chen Fan, ordinary storms were mere strong gusts of wind. However, the Evening Star Golden Storm was different.

But this storm was different. Even a Heavenly Star realm expert would feel chills because the storm was composed almost entirely of evening star gold qi. Every wisp of evening star gold qi was comparable to a divine weapon, capable of slicing through a martial artist’s protective primeval energy and tearing them to shreds.

Not even Manifestation realm experts could escape easily from a mega-scale Evening Star Golden Storm, let alone those below their level.

“It’s an Evening Star Golden Storm!”

“My god, it’s a mega-scale Evening Star Golden Storm. Even a Manifestation realm expert would avoid this. If we get caught in it, we’ll be torn to pieces.”

“What do we do? Are we still chasing?”

“Chase? Who would dare? Do you have a death wish? Let’s block the way here. Chen Fan’s only choice is to retreat. Once he does, we’ll strike together and take him down, then leave immediately.”

“Alright, it’s decided!”

At the back, Qin Wang, the First Dragon Lord, and the others were shaken when they saw the storm ahead, like hell descending on a city.

Though proud, they couldn’t ignore the danger of such a natural disaster.

They quickly decided to stop and block Chen Fan’s retreat. Whether he pressed forward or turned back, death awaited him. They were determined not to let him live.

Woo, woo, woo. Woo, woo, woo...

Boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom, boom...

The Evening Star Golden Storm ravaged heaven and earth, its terrifying momentum, sweeping over with lightning speed. The deafening noise could simply make one faint.

It was as if hell itself was tearing through the three thousand realms, leaving no survivors.

Chen Fan sensed their movements behind him and cursed their cunning.

Trapped between the storm and his enemies, he had no way to advance or retreat.

Swish, swish, swish. Swish, swish, swish...

As the storm closed in, the sharp air scraped against his protective primeval energy, producing a harsh rattling sound.

“Evening Star Golden Storm, Evening Star Golden Storm...” Chen Fan muttered, his eyes flickering as he stood still, watching the storm approach.

Behind him, Qin Wang and the others taunted him.

“Chen Fan, you have nowhere to run. Give yourself up!”

They would rather kill him themselves than see him die in the storm.

He ignored these people. As the Evening Star Golden Storm approached, its sharp aura grew stronger.

“I’ll risk it all! Wealth comes from taking risks. The Evening Star Golden Storm might be a terrifying disaster for others, but for me, it’s an opportunity! If I can absorb the evening star gold qi within and survive, my Hegemonic Golden Body will improve by leaps and bounds!”

His Hegemonic Golden Body had reached level 6 but had been stagnant for a long time. Improving it was far more difficult than advancing in the Myriad Elephants Divine Art. The further he progressed, the harder it became.

To strengthen it quickly, he would need to absorb large amounts of metal-attribute treasures like metal spirit veins, metal primeval water, true dragon blood, et cetera.

Naturally, evening star gold qi counted too.

However, compared to metal-attributed treasures like metal spirit veins, the evening star gold qi was far more aggressive—razor-sharp and dangerous.

Infusing treasures with this qi would enhance their grade, making them deadlier and sharper.

Had it just been a small or even medium-scale Evening Star Golden Storm, Chen Fan would have darted straight into the storm to absorb the evening star gold qi.

But this was a mega-scale storm, and even he wasn’t confident about facing its overwhelming power, despite having an incredibly tough physique.

The bigger the storm, the more terrifying its power.

The evening star gold qi was already sharp enough to easily pierce through a Grade-5 treasure with ease, the tearing force of this mega-scale storm could shred Heavenly Star realm experts to pieces.

Honestly, he was sure that Qin Wang and the others couldn’t easily capture him even if he retreated. However, he hesitated because he didn’t want to give up on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After an intense internal struggle, Chen Fan decided to gamble. The danger was outlandish but so was the reward for surviving it,

Resolute, he made his move. His figure blurred as he flew directly toward the storm.

Swish!

“What”

“What is he doing?”

“Has he given up on living?”

Qin Wang and the others were stunned when they saw Chen Fan taking the initiative to fly into the Evening Star Golden Storm.

They had expected him to retreat, planning to strike together then. None of them would have dared approach the storm under normal circumstances. If not for chasing Chen Fan, they would have left long ago.

“This little bastard is dead for sure. He actually took the initiative to head into the Evening Star Golden Storm!”

“That’s right. The Evening Star Golden Storm is one of the most terrifying natural disasters in the Little Demon Realm. Anyone who encounters it should flee immediately, but he actually rushed straight in. He’s really looking to die.”

“Maybe he knows retreating means getting captured by us and dying anyway, so he chose a more dignified end by killing himself.”

“You have a point. We’ll leave after confirming he’s devoured by the storm.”

“......”

Chen Fan was extremely fast, but the closer he got to the Evening Star Golden Storm, the greater the resistance became.

The evening star gold qi tore through his protective true primeval, leaving it full of holes like a hornet’s nest. It sliced through his defenses like butter, so he withdrew his true primeval and used his physique to resist the qi directly.

Chi, chi, chi...

In an instant, many wisps of evening star gold qi bombarded Chen Fan, tearing through and piercing through his tough flesh. Fresh blood immediately spurted out.

“As expected of one of the sharpest substances. This is still only the overflowing evening star gold qi, and it’s already torn through my Hegemonic Golden Body. I wonder how terrifying the center of the storm is?”

The closer he got to the Evening Star Golden Storm, the harder Chen Fan’s heart pounded.

But now, it was already too late for him to regret it.

He was already at the periphery of the Evening Star Golden Storm. A powerful suction restrained him, dragging him toward the center of the storm.
