Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 643 - Battling Cao Yuan

“You’re talking to me?” Chen Fan looked up, his cold gaze was like two sharp swords, rushing into Cao Yuan’s eyes and making his soul tremble.

For a moment, the image of a towering heavenly god flashed in Cao Yuan’s mind—Chen Fan. It was as if he stood above all, commanding the gods with an unchallenged authority.

“Hmph!” Cao Yuan's expression became ugly and he snorted coldly.

With a surge of spiritual will, he shattered the divine figure in his mind, glaring icily at Chen Fan with his demonic eyes.

“You’re still not qualified to obtain the Dragon Marrow. Get lost now, and you can still leave with your life intact. Otherwise, die!” Cao Yuan’s voice was cold and domineering.

A terrifying demonic aura spread from him, darkening the very air around him as if the light itself recoiled in fear.

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

Anguished wailings that seemed to originate from Avici Hell rang out.

Pitch-black demonic whirlwinds swirled behind Cao Yuan, making him seem even bigger and scarier.

The overwhelming devilish pressure was as if a demon had descended upon the world, instilling fear in all who felt it.

“Qualifications?” Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, his gaze icy and unyielding. With a swish, he disappeared on the spot, appearing in front of Cao Yuan as if he had teleported and sent a punch flying at him.

Rumble!

The punch detonated the air like a series of explosions, a shockwave of white qi rippling out and violently shaking the surrounding space.

“You’re courting death!”

Seeing Chen Fan had dared attack first, anger flashed in Cao Yuan’s demonic eyes.

Chen Fan had blatantly humiliated his unmatched demonic prestige.

Cao Yuan threw a punch almost simultaneously. His demonic power distorted the space, and for a moment, heaven and earth seemed to fall into silence.

Before their fists made contact, the air between them compressed and exploded repeatedly. It kept bursting and crackling noisily. The fierce qi wave rushed out to the sides.

Rumble!

When their fists finally collided, it sounded like a meteor crashing to earth.

Thump!

The demonic qi on Cao Yuan instantly exploded, and he flew back.

Pop, pop. Pop, pop, pop...

Cao Yuan steadied himself, his expression ugly.

He wanted to forcibly remove Chen Fan from the field; unexpectedly, he had been sent flying by Chen Fan’s first attack. It was a humiliating slap to his face that stung deeply.

The demonic pressure around Cao Yuan grew more intense.

Boom, boom.

Demonic cultivation techniques were rare, and few dared to practice them. But when someone achieved mastery in these arts, they became incredibly fearsome.

Such techniques were domineering and could very easily backfire on the practitioner. Among all cultivation techniques, it carried the highest risk of failure.

A single mistake could easily throw the practitioner into qi deviation.

The demonic power could turn against them, stripping away their humanity at best, transforming them into mindless killers—or at worst, making them explode, leading to a gruesome death.

Moreover, even if one succeeded in learning a demonic cultivation technique, one would still have to go through horrific pains that ordinary people could not endure. If one wanted to obtain the power of the demonic path, one needed to withstand its overbearing nature.

Thus, only those with immense determination and willpower would dare to practice demonic cultivation techniques. Even if the opportunity was right before them, hesitation would be inevitable.

People of the demonic path were not all evil demonic beings like the blood demons. The Tianwu Continent, therefore, accepted cultivators of the demonic path.

Cao Yuan was someone with great fortune. He had once obtained the legacy of a demonic path expert. After enduring intense suffering during his cultivation, he achieved notable success in demonic techniques, becoming a heavenly genius on the Ancient Trial Road.

Having practiced such techniques, Cao Yuan's nature became even more devilishly domineering.

Now that he was sent flying by Chen Fan, the rage he felt was explosive. That rage immediately burned, and his demonic intent surged to the skies.

“I’m going to tear you apart!” Cao Yuan shouted, his voice becoming hoarse. Overwhelming demonic qi surged from him and rose to the sky, dyeing the space pitch-black, as if a demonic god had descended into the world and was about to go on a horrible killing spree.

Rumble!

The space trembled as if thunder cracked on a clear day. Cao Yuan moved with such speed that he broke through the sound barrier, charging toward Chen Fan enveloped in immense demonic power.

The oppressive force was suffocating.

Even Xiao Zhen and Qiu Yuexin, who had both reached the third-level Divine Nascent realm, struggled to breathe under Cao Yuan’s pressure despite being far away. Their faces were marked by horror.

Cao Yuan instantly arrived in front of Chen Fan, reaching out as if he would tear Chen Fan apart. It was incredibly terrifying.

Riiip!

“Hmph!” Chen Fan snorted coldly, approaching fearlessly. A brilliant golden light radiated from him, and his eyes gleamed with a terrifying sharpness.

Although his opponent was a demonic cultivator, he was not afraid.

He was eager to test Cao Yuan’s true strength!

As Chen Fan stepped forward, the space trembled violently.

It felt as though his footsteps weighed billions of pounds. His hands, glowing with golden light, collided violently with Cao Yuan's attack.

Thump, thump, thump!

Chen Fan’s physique was incomparably tough, like a golden ancient god capable of splitting heaven and earth with a single hand and tearing apart gods and demons alike.

But Cao Yuan, a demonic cultivator hardened by brutal training, was no slouch either.

His physique was formidable, and his demonic power was overwhelmingly fierce. He fought Chen Fan with a crazed determination, his movements wild and relentless.

Boom, boom, boom...

The clash between them was like a battle of gods, each punch landing with immense force.

The intensity of their blows made nearby spectators’ eyes twitch and their minds reel. They could hardly believe such powerful young experts existed in their world.

Widespread air turbulence and chaos ensued.

Deafening noises rang out nonstop. A destructive storm swept through heaven and earth as if it was going to destroy the world.

Waving his palm, Cao Yuan sent a terrifying and overbearing demonic seal crushing over.

With a resounding rumble, heaven and earth seemed to shatter as the seal hurtled toward Chen Fan, intent on obliterating him.

Chen Fan stood unshaken, his golden light shining even more brilliantly.

A torrent of terrifying force erupted from Chen Fan, shaking the void. Kicking off with his feet, Chen Fan unleashed a punch that rocked both sky and earth.

Rumble!

Terrifying fluctuations rippled out, shattering the void. The qi wave was like a massive tide, sweeping out.

“You damned bastard, die for me!”

Cao Yuan was furious and drew his demonic saber.

A sharp aura swept out. A pitch-black demonic light shot out, cutting through space and splitting it in half.

Chen Fan was like a heavenly god, clasping his palm. The Purgatory Divine Halberd appeared in his hand and rushed out like a huge dragon.

Rumble!

The immense force rippled through the space, making it crumble.

Unperturbed, Chen Fan tore through the storm of energy and charged at Cao Yuan, delivering a devastating blow with the Purgatory Divine Halberd.

Rumble!

The air exploded under the force of the attack. Cao Yuan vomited a mouthful of blood and was hurled backward over a hundred meters.
