Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 641 - Hundred-Feet-Long Dragon Marrow

Another half a month slowly passed by.

Through relentless killing and absorbing the essence of demon cores, Chen Fan had fully stabilized his cultivation and grown even more powerful.

Now, even a fifth-level Divine Nascent realm posed no challenge for him.

Xiao Zhen and Qiu Yuexin also honed their skills through combat. With the addition of natural treasures they discovered, their cultivation steadily improved, advancing rapidly.

Together, Chen Fan, Xiao Zhen, and Qiu Yuexin formed a formidable team within the microcosm. Their power was unmatched, and they swept through the outer areas effortlessly, finding no opponents who could challenge them.

During this period, they also encountered some martial artists. Often, these encounters involved conflicts over natural treasures. Those people did not care about Chen Fan or his infamy. They would see red and charge at them.

The trio would leave their adversaries buried beneath the microcosm's surface, turning them into fertilizer.

Soon, the trio made a name for themselves in the Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold’s microcosm.

Even though they were only a small group of three, they were a very powerful force. They swept their way toward the center.

No one—not the martial artists they encountered nor the local demonic beasts—could halt their advance.

Even Qiu Yuexin, once known for her beauty, now exuded an additional layer of bloodthirsty and murderous qi, a testament to the constant battle and harsh conditions they faced.

While marveling at her beauty, others couldn't help but also be terrified of the murderous aura around her.

Rumble!

Chen Fan made the head of another unidentified fifth-level Divine Nascent realm demonic beast explode.

“This doesn’t make sense. This microcosm has already declined, and the spirit vein has dried up. Just how did these demonic beasts cultivate? All of them are incomparably ferocious,” cursed Xiao Zhen.

Their hands hadn't stopped moving for a long time, as they kept killing everything they saw along the way. After killing for so long, they had all lost their patience.

They didn't enjoy killing. If a homicidal person were in their situation, they would likely be unusually excited and feel ecstasy from all the killings.

However, Chen Fan’s group felt like vomiting.

All this would have been acceptable if they had been rewarded appropriately.

While they did find natural treasures of heaven and earth along the way, it felt like getting paid pennies for building underwater bridges.

“Perhaps this is the microcosm’s swan song,” Chen Fan said. “Just like how people experience terminal lucidity, the microcosm is experiencing one last crazy hurrah. Maybe it wants to take down all the demonic beasts inside with it.”

Even as they complained, they didn't stop killing and heading deeper in.

As they ventured deeper, the number of martial artists they encountered grew.

Everyone was heading in the same direction for one reason: news had spread of a Dragon Marrow being discovered in a distant valley.

This revelation sent the entire microcosm into a frenzy.

Most people had entered the microcosm with hopes of striking it rich, but the harsh reality of the desolate landscape had left them with little to show for their efforts.

The microcosm, on the brink of destruction, offered few opportunities and the idea of leaving empty-handed was unbearable.

Once the news of the Dragon Marrow was confirmed, everyone rushed toward the valley like madmen.

Chen Fan’s group was no exception either.

Three days later, Chen Fan arrived at that valley.

There, coiled within the valley, was a golden-bright, hundred-foot-long flood dragon. Its sheer presence radiated terrifying pressure, and each roar shook the heavens, deafening all who heard it.

“What the heck, a hundred-foot-long Dragon Marrow, this...” Xiao Zhen’s eyes went wide. “It’s become a spirit, my god! This Dragon Marrow has already become a flood dragon. If it continues growing like that, it might transform into a true dragon. So, the rumors about this place once being a dragon’s nest were true after all.”

Chen Fan was also shocked inside.

This wasn’t his first time seeing a Dragon Marrow. He had obtained a Dragon Marrow in the Hidden Dragon Island. But that marrow had only been a foot long. Compared to this hundred-foot-long Dragon Marrow, that marrow was like an earthworm.

“Obtaining it won’t be easy. It has already transformed into a flood dragon. Judging from the pressure it’s emanating, it’s comparable to a seventh or eighth-level Divine Nascent realm human martial artist,” Xiao Zhen said with his eyes narrowed.

He felt a dangerous aura from this Dragon Marrow. Xiao Zhen could feel its lethal potential, and it made his skin crawl.

In the valley, several martial artists had already gathered. They were all looking at the Dragon Marrow greedily, with fire in their eyes, but none of them dared to act rashly.

The aura of the flood dragon was so oppressive that even Chen Fan, standing amidst them, wore a solemn expression.

Even though he had advanced to the third-level Divine Nascent realm, the Dragon Marrow’s presence was still daunting. This massive, hundred-foot-long beast could potentially deliver a fatal blow if he wasn’t careful.

Suddenly, the air was sliced by the sound of figures rushing in.

Whoosh!

“Get out of my way, all of you. This Dragon Marrow belongs to our Dragon God Army!” An incomparably tyrannical voice rang out. It was none other than the Third Dragon Lord.

The group of Dragon God Army soldiers followed closely behind him, their murderous auras blanketing the valley like a suffocating fog. Their stance made it clear—any opposition would be met with immediate violence.

Before anyone could respond, a second voice, cold and sharp, rang out. The Seven Fiends Organization had arrived.

“Hmph, what do you mean it belongs to your Dragon God Army? This Dragon Marrow was discovered by our organization first, so it belongs to us!”

The air seemed to tremble as another voice thundered through the valley. The revered elder of the City Lord Manor entered the fray, his presence commanding as he approached with his group.

“You dare to lay claim to something that belongs to the City Lord Manor? Audacious fools!”

“Hoho, how lively it is here. This Dragon Marrow is without a master. Anyone who sees it has a stake in it.” A faint laughter rang out, and the temperature soared dramatically. Although the crowd had yet to see the person, they already knew Flame King Xiao Yan had arrived.

“Insolence!” Another loud voice rumbled, “All the lands under the heavens belong to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects. This microcosm is on the Great Qin Empire’s lands. So, everything belongs to the empire. Who dares to touch our Great Qin Empire’s belongings, are you looking to die?”

As this cold, overbearing voice rang out, Seventh Young Master also arrived with his people, emanating an incomparably domineering aura, looking disdainfully out of the corner of his eyes. No one dared to meet his gaze.

The major forces had all arrived. Everyone’s auras were incomparably fierce and domineering. It looked like a war would break out at the slightest disagreement.

“Roar!” The Dragon Marrow also seemed to sense that the current situation was not good. More people were joining in and they all seemed powerful, making it feel a strong sense of impending crisis.
