Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 639 - Microcosm Opens

“Frightening, too frightening!”

“So this is Chen Fan’s strength? It’s no wonder he dared to challenge the Dragon God Army alone. With such tremendous strength, even I could do it. Why would I even fear them then?”

“The three so-called peerless old devils thought Chen Fan would be an easy target due to his cultivation. But he turned out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. They all met their ends in his hand, tsk tsk.”

“What a monster! This is what true power looks like.”

“......”

The crowd stared at Chen Fan, their expressions a mix of awe and fear.

Many had only heard rumors about his battle with the Third Dragon Lord. They had presumed that the Third Dragon Lord returned empty-handed because he didn’t want a full-scale fight.

Now, they saw the truth: Even if the Third Dragon Lord had chosen to fight back then, could he have defeated Chen Fan?

Highly unlikely!

Seeing Chen Fan’s overwhelming strength up close erased any doubts.

Even though he was only in the second-level Divine Nascent realm, no one dared to look down on him.

The three so-called peerless old devils learned that lesson too late. They were already regretting it in their graves.

“Impressive, I didn’t expect someone like that to show up on the Gen Road. Things are about to get a lot more interesting.”

Xiao Yan’s smile widened as nine differently colored flames danced in his palm.

Seventh Young Master, Cao Yuan, and the others now looked at Chen Fan with newfound respect, any trace of scorn long gone.

They also hadn’t been too happy that someone like Chen Fan, only at the second level of the Divine Nascent realm, had a Sky Dragon Token. But after witnessing his power firsthand, they couldn’t deny he deserved it.

With such strength, he was bound to be one of their main competitors in the microcosm.

As Chen Fan landed on the mountain peak, hundreds of awe-struck eyes followed him, but his face remained calm as if nothing had just happened.

“Amazing,” Xiao Zhen murmured, feeling so overwhelmed that he nearly knelt on the spot.

When the three old devils had made their move, Xiao Zhen felt worried for Chen Fan. But in a matter of moments, they were dead, their wretched lives snuffed out as easily as a candle flame.

Qiu Yuexin’s pretty eyes were also trembling.

She had personally witnessed Chen Fan undergoing his divine nascent tribulation and knew that he was no weakling. Still, she hadn’t expected him to be so powerful. It was overwhelming, leaving her with an unsettling sense of defeat.

Was the gap between geniuses really this wide?

She had recently advanced to the second-level Divine Nascent realm, but now that joy was gone. The distance between her and Chen Fan seemed to grow wider by the moment.

Suddenly, another group descended—the Third Dragon Lord and his followers.

They were filled with icy killing intent. Their faces were cold and pale, and they were soaked in blood, clear signs they had just emerged from a fierce battle.

It wasn’t just Chen Fan who had faced an ambush; the Dragon God Army had been attacked as well.

Many people in the surroundings looked at Chen Fan and then at the Third Dragon Lord. They sucked in cold breaths as they realized just how powerful the younger generation had become.

“Come, let’s go over,” Chen Fan said, glancing at the Third Dragon Lord before flying off with Xiao Zhen and Qiu Yuexin. They soon landed on the mountainside.

This area was a flat land, with sand blowing everywhere. Through the gusts of wind, they could faintly make out an old plaza beneath them, once the heart of the Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold.

In ancient times, the Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold had been a thriving, top-tier sect, but now, only ruins remained.

On the plaza, the Dragon God Army was crowded around the Third Dragon Lord, exuding a sense of superiority as if they were gods looking down on mortals, their arrogance palpable.

Several corpses lay scattered in front of the Dragon God Army—veteran cultivators who had once been infamous. They were all in the fifth-level Divine Nascent realm, but they had all died at the hands of the Dragon God Army.

Though the ambush Chen Fan faced involved fewer enemies, the Dragon God Army had been attacked by a much larger number of old devils.

However, the Third Dragon Lord had killed them all. He truly had gained his fierce reputation from a bloody path, proving why he was worthy of the dragon lord title.

On the left of the Dragon God Army was the group from the City Lord Manor, led by their revered elder. They did not meet with any ambushes from any old devils.

To the right of the Dragon God Army was the Heaven Supervisory Bureau’s Seventh Young Master and his men.

The area in front of them was similarly clean. Evidently, not even those famous old devils dared to challenge the Heaven Supervisory Bureau.

On the side of the Seven Fiends Organization, several corpses could also be seen. They had also met with ambushes, but those people failed in their attempt.

As for Flame King Xiao Yan, his appearance was clean.

“Since everyone is here, let’s begin,” said the Third Dragon Lord indifferently, not even sparing Chen Fan a glance as if he was a dead man not worth his attention.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a loud rumble echoed across the area.

A massive gateway materialized on the open ground, featuring nine keyholes shaped like sky dragons, clearly visible for all to see.

A wave of ancient, desolate aura swept over them. It felt as though a long-dormant power had been unleashed, rushing skyward.

“Roar!”

Above the gateway, a sky dragon’s silhouette appeared, its immense presence flooding the area. With a thunderous roar, it shook the very heavens.

“It’s here! The Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold’s microcosm has revealed itself. Get ready, everyone.”

Eyes lit up across the crowd, burning with anticipation.

“Let’s do it,” said the Third Dragon Lord indifferently. He waved his hand, and four Sky Dragon Tokens appeared, which he quickly inserted into four of the keyholes.

Chen Fan and the others also took out their Sky Dragon Tokens and inserted them into the keyholes.

Buzz, buzz.

Rumble!

As if awakened, the enormous gateway began shaking violently. Deafening noises rang out and it looked like it was about to collapse.

Finally, an earth-shaking commotion rang out.

With a thunderous crash, the gateway slowly opened. Between the two towering doors hung a curtain of white light, radiating an ancient, desolate aura.

“Let’s go!” Chen Fan shouted and was the first to rush out.

Xiao Zhen and Qiu Yuexin also shot out like lightning, following closely behind him. Light shot out from Chen Fan’s Sky Dragon Token and enveloped the trio.

The Third Dragon Lord, Xiao Yan, and the others also sprang into motion, rushing toward the gateway like bolts of lightning.

The gateway wasn’t fully open yet, but it didn’t matter. With their Sky Dragon Tokens, they could enter slightly ahead of the rest, giving them a chance to claim some advantages.

Swoosh, swoosh.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Fan, the Third Dragon Lord, and the others rushed through the doors almost simultaneously, enveloped in light, and vanished into the white space beyond.

Some onlookers tried to follow, but as soon as they touched the white space, they let out horrified screams before being engulfed by the shadow of a sky dragon.

A wave of fear swept through the crowd. Those without Sky Dragon Tokens had no choice but to wait anxiously for the gateway to fully open before they could enter.
