Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1638 - Phantom Law Heaven

The purge of the rebel base ended with ruthless efficiency. Hidden chambers, sealed tunnels, secret vaults—nothing escaped the veteran experts. Every last remnant was eradicated.

The Featherlight Sect’s crackdown shook the entire Heavenly Prison. Restless criminals immediately reined themselves in, their ambitions crushed under the weight of fear.

Cao Wujiang’s high-profile extermination wasn’t just a purge. It was a warning to those criminals that the Featherlight Sect was still the one in control of the Heavenly Prison.

These criminals were never equals. No matter how violently they struggled, they could never escape. If they crossed the line, annihilation would come without mercy.

Chen Fan and Ling Fei, having played key roles in destroying the rebel base, were swiftly rewarded.

Aside from various elixirs, herbs, and natural treasures, they also received a large amount of contribution points.

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

Chen Fan’s time in the Heavenly Prison had also come to an end.

He had spent the last six months traversing through the harshest locations, ranging from barren lands overrun with all kinds of beasts to death zones where all sorts of primeval qi converged.

He deliberately chose suffering. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he went to every location with a perilous environment, like a monk on a pilgrimage, to temper himself.

Backed by enormous resources and relentless pressure, his cultivation surged forward, breaking into the ninth-level Immortal Platform realm.

The speed was terrifying, but the cost was just as extreme. He had exhausted no less than a million immortal stones. He was, once again, a pauper, and he didn’t even have many natural treasures of heaven and earth left either.

He had reached the limit of what the Heavenly Prison could offer.

The timing was perfect, though. His time in the Heavenly Prison was up. Chen Fan exited without spending contribution points to extend his stay, feeling no hesitation.

After exiting, Chen Fan directly turned into a stream of light and returned to his cavern.

However, his senior brothers and sisters weren’t cultivating in their caverns. They had gone to the Phantom Law Heaven.

Chen Fan rested for three days. Just as he was preparing to plan his next steps, a piece of news reached him.

Huang Wuji and the others encountered the Apex Mystic Sect’s members within the Phantom Law Heaven and were captured. They even announced that they would execute Huang Wuji and the others publicly as a warning to others.

Chen Fan’s fury erupted. Terrifying killing intent surged outward, crushing the surrounding space and pulverizing everything nearby.

Poof, poof, poof!

“Apex Mystic Sect...”

Killing intent flickered in his eyes. Without wasting a single moment, he tore through the sky and headed straight for the entrance to Phantom Law Heaven.

Some Hua Alliance members witnessed his departure. One after another, communication talismans were activated, their expressions cold and murderous.

......

The Phantom Law Heaven was a place under the joint control of the ten immortal holy lands of the Imperial Supremacy Heavenly Domain. It served as a place for disciples under the Immortal King realm to train and search for treasures.

According to legend, it was once a divine nation from the primordial era, ruled by a god. After its fall, the ten holy lands discovered it, plundered its core treasures, and reshaped it into a cultivation realm. Over the years, countless cultivators had seized opportunities within and soared to prominence in a single leap.

“So, this is the Phantom Law Heaven, huh?”

Chen Fan immediately sensed the difference between this place and the Heavenly Prison. The primeval qi here was dense and harmonious, far more suitable for cultivation.

However, he was in no mood to wander around the Phantom Law Heaven now. After learning the location of Apex Mystic City, he immediately turned into a stream of light and headed that way.

The news of Huang Wuji and the others being in captivity spread like wildfire throughout the Phantom Law Heaven. The Apex Mystic Sect made no attempt to conceal it, openly declaring their intention to execute them publicly. Other holy lands watched in silence, waiting to see the Featherlight Sect disgraced.

When the news first broke, the Featherlight disciples were furious and ready to rescue them. Then, suddenly, everything went quiet. An order had been issued, forbidding intervention.

Chen Fan understood immediately. The Demon Suppression lineage had intervened. They had likely warned those who wanted to rescue Huang Wuji and the others. They intended to use the Apex Mystic Sect as a blade to kill him through others’ hands.

......

The Apex Mystic City was the headquarters of the sect's disciples. The city was massive and very prosperous.

Above the city gates, several figures were suspended in the air, covered in blood and wounds. They were Huang Wuji and the others.

The passersby pointed their fingers and murmured among themselves.

“Tsk tsk, they’re the Featherlight disciples about to be publicly executed? How pitiful.”

“It certainly is. Some Featherlight disciples were going to make a rescue attempt originally, but nothing happened afterward for some unknown reason.”

“I heard that some higher-ups of the Featherlight Sect had given orders forbidding others from intervening in this matter.”

“Eh? It looks like these people had offended the higher-ups of the Featherlight Sect and were abandoned.”

“I know, right? How pitiful.”

Swish.

A green figure appeared outside Apex Mystic City. It was Chen Fan.

From afar, he saw Huang Wuji and the others hanging above the gates. Rage surged violently within him, killing intent pouring from his eyes like a storm.

“Apex Mystic Sect, I’ll make you understand what despair truly is.”

Swish, swish. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Chen Fan charged forward at once. With a wave of his palm, he swept Huang Wuji and the others to him.

The Apex Mystic disciples on the city wall immediately shouted upon seeing someone attempting to rescue them, “Who goes there?”

“The one who will kill you!”

Chen Fan launched a palm strike, crushing these people into a paste of meat.

Boom, boom!

Several powerful auras surged to the sky within the Apex Mystic City almost instantly.

“Who is it? What audacity you have, to dare kill our Apex Mystic Sect’s disciples. You deserve a thousand deaths!”

“Brat, how dare you. You dared to rescue the people we wanted to kill and even killed our people! I’m going to skin you alive!”

In mere moments, ten Half-step Immortal King realm experts appeared, their oppressive presence sealing off the heavens.

Chen Fan ignored them. He stuffed recovery immortal elixirs into Huang Wuji and the others’ mouths, helping them dissolve the medicinal potency.

Soon, Huang Wuji and the others regained consciousness and saw Chen Fan. They immediately exclaimed, “Little Junior Brother.”

“I’m late, Senior Brothers and Sisters. I made you suffer.”

“Quickly leave, Little Junior Brother. This is a trap. They’re using us to lure you here.”

“I know.” Chen Fan nodded, but showed no intention of leaving. “Don’t worry, Senior Brothers and Sisters. I’m going on a killing spree today. I’ll strike fear into these pigs and dogs and make them tremble in fear when they hear my name.”

“Little Junior Brother, you...”

“Rest assured, Senior Brothers and Sisters. Since I dared to come, I’m confident in my strength. You only need to watch how I slaughter them to avenge you. They dared to plot against my senior brothers and sisters; they must pay the price in blood!”

TL Note:

Aren’t the seniors known to be top geniuses with king-grade immortal platforms? The other high-ranking officials just let them do this?
