Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 959 - Intense Fight

As soon as Chen Fan entered the cold pool, a very terrifying chill invaded him through his pores, trying to freeze his blood.

His Hegemonic Golden Body was incredibly powerful, comparable to a Grade 7 or 8 treasure. Still, it couldn’t fully ward off the intense cold. If anyone else were in his place, they’d have been frozen on the spot.

Chen Fan channeled his Hegemonic Golden Body Mantra but did not put up a layer of protective true primeval around himself. It was a way to temper his Hegemonic Golden Body, allowing it to progress.

To his surprise, the cold pool wasn’t dark—it was brightly illuminated, which was a welcome discovery. The visibility was clear to a thousand meters underwater.

Given the pool’s ability to corrode divine will, he knew the importance of seeing clearly. Without strong cultivation and divine will, one’s divine will would freeze upon release. If low visibility were added to that, it would make the situation even more perilous.

Chen Fan tested his own divine will. As soon as he released it, a sharp pain shot through his mind as the chilling energy invaded along his divine will.

Fortunately, his divine will was incredibly powerful and could withstand the cold. This allowed him to see deeper into the pool.

Soon, Chen Fan headed toward the depths of the cold pool, where he sensed intense fluctuations—someone was fighting.

As he carefully approached, he discovered two sixth-level Manifestation realm experts fighting over a treasure.

Chen Fan was disappointed, as he had thought that someone had discovered the Herbaceous Water Spirit.

He did not get himself involved in the skirmish. A Grade-6 treasure was nothing to him

It was precious to the residents of the Dead Region. After all, even some high-level Manifestation realm experts didn’t have one, which just underlined the scarcity of the resources here.

Chen Fan’s divine will spread out, sensing the true primeval fluctuations in the water.

Finding the Herbaceous Water Spirit in the cold pool was like searching for a needle in a haystack. With no clues, he could only rely on these fluctuations to guide him.

Once discovered, the Herbaceous Water Spirit would inevitably spark a battle. There was only one spirit, and everyone wanted it. Naturally, chaos would follow.

The fight would generate fluctuations, and Chen Fan had to rely on them to navigate. It was a process of trying his luck.

After all, not all fluctuations stemmed from fighting over the Herbaceous Water Spirit. Some, like the one he just sensed, could be skirmishes over other treasures.

Moving swiftly like a fish in water, he darted through the pool, tracking the fluctuations. Unfortunately, he came up empty each time.

He soon realized that many weren’t here for the Herbaceous Water Spirit but to kill and plunder instead.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the pool water surged violently, forming an undercurrent that rushed toward Chen Fan.

Chen Fan calmly sent out a palm strike with a flip of his hand and shattered the sneak attack. He turned around and saw a middle-aged man looking at him with an icy gaze.

“Brat, hand over all your treasures, and I can spare your life. Refuse, and this pool will be your grave!”

This middle-aged man emitted a peak sixth-level Manifestation realm aura, which pressed toward Chen Fan like a towering wave to force him into submission, saving him the trouble of making a move.

Evidently, the middle-aged man was also here to kill others and seize their treasures.

Chen Fan smiled coldly and directly charged toward him. “Trying that nonsense on me? Unlucky for you!”

“Insolence!” The middle-aged man was furious, surprised to see a fourth-level brat refusing a peak sixth-level expert like him. Chen Fan had even dared to take the initiative to attack. This was outright humiliation!

“I wasn’t planning to kill again, but since you insist on dying, I’ll oblige!” Killing intent swept out from the middle-aged man, transforming into a raging shark that lunged at Chen Fan with a ferocious aura.

That shark’s maw looked as if it would devour heaven and earth, releasing a thick scent of blood as it sought to tear him in half.

“Petty tricks!” Chen Fan swung his arm, sending out a streak of sword qi that cleaved the shark into two. The sword qi continued whizzing toward the middle-aged man, splitting the pool water.

Boom, tch!

Blood sprayed as a deep gash split his chest, flesh mangled and exposed. His face twisted in shock.

Chen Fan did not care about any of it and closed in on him.

His berserk aura pressed over, filling the middle-aged man with horror. He had spent his life preying on the weak, only to become the hunted today.

The terrifying attack shrouded over; he could hear the grim reaper calling for him. He immediately roared, “Don’t kill me! I know the Herbaceous Water Spirit’s location!”

A fierce wind slashed across the middle-aged man’s face like a blade.

After some time, the middle-aged man opened his eyes, looking at the iron fist right in front of his eyes. Cold sweat poured over him.

Had he reacted a second later, he would’ve been obliterated.

“Speak. Where is it? If you lie, not even going to the ends of the earth will save you.”

Chen Fan retracted his fist and looked at the middle-aged man indifferently.

If the man truly knew the Herbaceous Water Spirit’s location, it would save him from aimless searching.

“It’s over there.” The man pointed, his heart still pounding.

Chen Fan said, “You discovered the Herbaceous Water Spirit but didn’t try to seize it?”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, “I only passed by and saw experts locked in a battle so fierce the space turned dark. With my measly cultivation, how could I dare intervene? When I left, I caught a glimpse of the Herbaceous Water Spirit.

“Those seventh and eighth-level Manifestation realm experts were probably fighting over it. I know my limits—I wasn’t after the spirit, just hoping to scavenge some treasures.”

“Alright, I hope you didn’t lie to me. Otherwise, hmph hmph...”

Before his voice faded, he shot forward without hesitation.

The Herbaceous Water Spirit had already been found, and a brutal fight was underway—or perhaps, it had already ended. There was no time to waste.

Soon, Chen Fan sensed intense fluctuations coming from the water.

The fluctuations were more intense than anything he had sensed previously.

Chen Fan carefully dove over. He discovered many people engaged in a chaotic fight not too far ahead.

Terrifying power erupted, shaking the land for tens of kilometers as the battle raged, darkening the sky. They were going all out.

At the heart of the chaos, an azure mass of water—shimmering in a vaguely human shape—radiated a beautiful light.

This humanoid azure light was none other than the Herbaceous Water Spirit.
