Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 349 - Despair Again

Mountains collapsed, and the earth cracked. Even the tectonic plates shifted. Chen Fan sensed the ground giving way as if it might collapse.

The entire lakeside was sinking and collapsing. It felt like a storm capable of wiping out all life was sweeping through the area, its immense force wreaking havoc and chaos.

The terrifying qi would drown the heaven, ocean, and even the starry sky.

Amid the collision, the sky above the lake trembled violently, generating countless ripples. Numerous black lines appeared, causing the people’s hair to stand on end.

Those were spatial rifts.

The Nebulous Mysterious Realm was only a secret realm, so the space was unstable. When the forces at play exceeded its limits, it would rupture.

The combined attack of Chen Fan and a hundred others had clashed with Xue Tianhe’s attack, so while it didn’t shatter the space, it did lead to numerous spatial rifts. The power unleashed had pushed the Nebulous Mysterious Realm to its breaking point.

This was to be expected, as this space served as a training ground for disciples under the Core Formation realm. Even an Illusory Core realm martial artist with a ninety percent solid core couldn’t shatter the space.

However, Xue Tianhe was now a genuine Core Formation realm expert, while Chen Fan’s side had more than a hundred martial artists, both delivering an all-out strike. It was like a clash of two Core Formation realm martial artists.

Chen Fan’s side had gained the upper hand in the clash. They broke the sea of blood apart, forcing Xue Tianhe to step back repeatedly, leaving several footprints in the air.

The crowd erupted in excitement and regained their confidence.

“We pushed him back! Indeed, with so many of us joining forces, even a Core Formation realm blood demon is no match for us!”

“Great, there’s hope for us.”

The adage, “Even an army of ants could kill an elephant with their bites,” proved true here.

The group had a hundred individuals, all at high Yuanfu realm cultivation levels and some even at the Illusory Core realm. Such might could destroy heaven and earth.

“Attack again! Suppress these blood demons in one go!” roared the crowd, their auras becoming even fiercer.

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

As the crowd pushed their cultivation to the limit, their auras surged, generating a powerful gale.

“Kill!”

“Kill, kill, kill!”

A resounding chorus of battle cries echoed as the crowd unleashed their combined fury again.

Their assaults merged into a torrent, sweeping over the space and tearing it asunder. The space shook and cracked from the attacks as they charged toward Xue Tianhe.

“Very well, you ants are still trying to overturn the heavens. What a joke! Get annihilated, Corpse Mountain Blood Sea!”

A dangerous light flashed in Xue Tianhe’s eyes. He condensed another blood sea; this sea also had skeleton soldiers wielding all kinds of weapons. They marched forth, treading on the blood sea, qi erupting from their bony forms. It was a bizarre sight.

Rumble, rumble!

The ground quaked once more as the two forces collided with earth-shattering force, explosions reverberating continuously.

Bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang...

Terrifying hurricanes swept the area, ravaging heaven and earth.

In the chaos, bursts of light erupted incessantly, churning the lake waters violently, resulting in the deaths of many ancient piranhas that floated lifelessly to the surface.

Xue Tianhe's hands formed a circular seal, gathering the bloody light into a colossal blood hammer that hovered menacingly in the sky. It brought about a terrifying sense of oppression and smashed down violently, rupturing the air.

“Blood God Hammer!”

Xin Wuming, Chen Fan, and the others pushed their cultivation to the limit, forcibly resisting the descending Blood God Hammer.

“Break!”

A thunderous rumbling rang out; it seemed like the furious roar of the lord of heaven.

Rumble!

A powerful hurricane surged outward, and an invisible force swept through the space and threw both factions back.

Joy spread across the faces of Chen Fan and Xin Wuming's allies, while Xue Tianhe's expression darkened with frustration.

Xue Tianhe had anticipated an easy victory over them, but it was becoming apparent that the battle would be far from straightforward.

Every one of those hundred people had managed to survive in this mysterious realm until now. They had obtained plenty of benefits and greatly increased their strength. Even Xue Tianhe was powerless before a mighty group like that.

Swish, swish.

The other blood demons approached him and said, “Xue Tianhe, it seems these people are determined to resist until the end. Let us unite our forces, too. Even though you’ve advanced into the Core Formation realm, you can’t take them all down.”

Xue Tianhe did not object. He nodded and said, “Fine, then. Attack with me. Kill them all!”

The crowd, emboldened by their recent successes, felt a surge of apprehension when they saw the dozen or so blood demons preparing to join the fray.

Their confidence wavered as they realized that facing Xue Tianhe alone had already stretched their limits, and with the added strength of the blood demons, their task seemed daunting once more.

“Stay strong, everyone. These blood demons are not in the Core Formation realm, and only a few are in the Illusory Core realm. We don’t have to fear them!” Xin Wuming roared.

They could not afford to lose their momentum at this time. At this critical juncture, it could plunge them into despair.

“Hmph. We'll shatter your hopes completely with this!”

Xue Tianhe’s side did not bother to say much. They channeled their cultivations as one, causing cracking noises to resound through space.

“Blood God Arm!”

A blood-colored arm reached out from within the sea of blood. As if it had descended from the ancient desolate era, ancient blood runes flickered on it. It seemingly held the sky with one arm and could wipe out everything.

Chen Fan, Xin Wuming, and the others felt a shiver run down their spines. The attack seemed so strong that it could crush time and space.

Alas, they couldn’t retreat, as that would be no different from accepting death.

Bang, bang, bang...

Numerous explosions rang out like a barrage of cannons blasting non-stop.

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

A terrifying storm whistled and ravaged through the heavens and earth. It could seemingly even tear apart someone at the seventh level.

Boom ka!

The combined attack of Chen Fan and more than a hundred people clashed against the Blood God Arm, holding out for more than ten breaths before finally succumbing and exploding.

Poof, poof, poof...

The recoil caused some seventh and eighth-level Yuanfu realm martial artists to turn pale. They seemed heavily injured, spewing fresh blood from their mouths. They were pushed back and thrown into disarray.

Even those who were exceptionally strong, like Chen Fan and Xin Wuming, struggled to contain their violently churning qi and blood.

A sense of despair loomed over the crowd.

“Do you understand now? You are nothing more than ants trying to topple a towering tree. Your aspirations are laughable," Xue Tianhe declared with haughty arrogance, his aura radiating dominance.

Chen Fan suppressed his churning qi and blood and glanced at the crowd; their auras were also in disorder. He took a deep breath, a stern light shooting out from his eyes, and said, “Everyone, I need you to help buy me some time. I am on the verge of a breakthrough. I will have the strength to fight Xue Tianhe if I succeed.”
