Chapter 594: Chapter 376: The Butcher Wei Fan Has Returned
The matter of the Vajra Sect garnered much attention in the Beiding Continent, after all, so many experts died, including many from the Holy Sect of the Beiding Continent.
The news that the Demon Hunter Organization solved the issue spread, and the forces in the Beiding Continent all breathed a sigh of relief, because if the things inside the Vajra Sect were allowed to develop, who knows if it would affect the entire Beiding Continent.
The Demon Hunters announced their occupation of the Spirit Crystal Mine, and no Holy Sect dared to oppose them; instead, they sent a batch of Spirit Crystals to redeem the bodies of their people who died near the Vajra Sect.
The forces that appeared at the Vajra Sect with Holy Soldiers paid an astronomical price in Spirit Crystals before Zhou Shen returned the Holy Soldiers to them.
Many people thought it was due to Zhou Shen and the Array Master, but only Feng Hua knew that it was actually Wei Fan who resolved the matter, though Wei Fan didn’t want to claim the credit.
Indeed, most of the Martial Saint powerhouses in the Beiding Continent attended the welcome, but that doesn’t mean there are no Martial Saints in other continents. The Divinity-Sealing Seal is such a treasure that it might be famous in the Five Great Domains, and exposure could easily cause trouble.
Wei Fan and Feng Hua didn’t immediately leave Da Xu but stayed in a city near the Vajra Sect, as he planned to go into closed-door cultivation for a few days to break through the Nine-Nine True Skill and the Scripture of the Three Emperors to the Martial King Ninth Level.
[Nine-Nine True Skill (Fifty-three Scrolls)]
[Scripture of the Three Emperors (Eighth Level of Martial King)]
[Divine Silkworm Nine Changes (Second Change)]
...
[Ordinary Power: 620,000 years]
[Martial King’s Power: 15,100 years]
After Feng Hua explained the situation, Wei Fan entered the closed-door room and opened his interface.
"Martial King’s Power, enough to break through the Nine-Nine True Skill and the Scripture of the Three Emperors to the Martial King Ninth Level. Once the cultivation reaches the Martial King Ninth Level, I can undergo the third transformation of the Divine Silkworm Nine Changes."
The third transformation of the Divine Silkworm Nine Changes—he was unsure if a power of over 600,000 years would be enough, so after breaking through, he needed to prepare more power for the third transformation.
This was also why he stayed in Da Xu; the nearby Yun Jin City borders on the Demon Realm, allowing him to leave directly from Yun Jin City and head into the demon’s inner region to hunt and kill demon fiends.
After contemplating for a while, Wei Fan quickly calmed his mind and began the breakthrough.
Shortly thereafter, his aura surged like a dragon, his body radiated light, and his vigorous Blood Qi uncontrollably dispersed from his pores. He broke through both body refining and True Essence cultivation to the Martial King Ninth Realm.
"This is the power of a Peak Martial King!"
It was just a single layer of improvement, but the enhancement was far beyond before. His earlier Eighth Level Martial King self wouldn’t even withstand ten moves from his Ninth Level self.
In the past, body refining and True Essence were distinct, but after reaching the Peak Martial King Realm, a complementary relationship appeared between them, which was why this enhancement was so great.
"No! This still isn’t the full power of a Peak Martial King!"
The full power of a Peak Martial King is not just this; his Primordial Spirit has yet to undergo the third transformation. Only after it transforms can it truly be considered Peak Martial King power.
The body, True Essence, and Primordial Spirit—currently, among the three, the Primordial Spirit is not yet at the Peak Martial King realm status.
"If the Primordial Spirit also completes its transformation, perhaps I could exchange a few moves with a Martial Saint powerhouse."
Defeating a Martial Saint is impossible; a Martial King countering a Martial Saint hasn’t been seen; exchanging a few moves might be an earth-shattering affair, but that still requires the challenger to be a newly broke-through Martial Saint.
A loose concept of a Martial Saint who has cultivated in the Saint Realm for hundreds, maybe thousands of years—an aged monster—even if reaching the full Peak Martial King stage, would still have been crushed with a single finger. Martial Saints also have variations in strength, divided by realm—not all Martial Saints signify equivalence to each other.
He is a genius, and similarly, Martial Saints aren’t weaklings; individuals who achieve Martial Saint status, who were not sweeping over one continent as outstanding prodigies during their younger days.
The surging Qi Blood and True Essence gradually calmed down. Wei Fan did not immediately end his closed-door cultivation, even though Feng Hua knew many of his secrets, he needed to put on appearances. Breaking through both body refining and True Essence cultivation to the Martial King Ninth Level in just half a day would undoubtedly cause suspicion.
Wei Fan sat meditation-like for two days in the room. In his spare time, he also organized the spoils from recently slain opponents, collecting over a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals, as well as some Martial King Techniques and Divine Soldiers.
The cultivation techniques he couldn’t use, but when he returned to the Wilderness, he could gift them to old friends and similarly distribute unused materials.
"Boom..."
Until an imperceptible sound reverberated within his Primordial Spirit, pulling him from his sorting tasks.
"The Dao Collapse accelerated again!"
He knew that Qi Daozhen’s Dao was shaking again; the end of the Dao Collapse wouldn’t be much longer.
Faced with such a change, Wei Fan didn’t continue the facade, decisively concluded his closed-door cultivation, and stepped out.
"Are you alright?"
Feng Hua guarded the entrance with a worried face, worried that during a critical juncture of closed-door cultivation, the previous shock could have potentially caused an issue.
"I’m fine, just finished the breakthrough!"
Wei Fan shook his head, then moved and sat down at the dining place of the inn, ordering a bunch of food and wine.
In the restaurant, these martial artists are discussing the acceleration of Dao Collapse. Although for most people, it’s impossible to gain the identity of a native resident in the Wilderness before the Dao Collapse ends, the rebound to the people outside afterward is equally significant.
In fact, some who don’t have Spirit Crystals to ride the Transmission Domain Gate have already started to hurry on foot to the vicinity of the Dao Collapse Barrier, just waiting for the Dao Collapse to end before entering the Wilderness.
"Everyone make way!"
A sudden shout rang out on the street, followed by a tremor in the restaurant.
Wei Fan looked up and saw a battalion of soldiers marching down the street, numbering around a thousand. They all possessed the power of Celestial Martial Artists, and their leading commander was a formidable expert of the Golden Body Ninth Forging.
They seemed very urgent, driving the citizens along the streets to make way as they hurried by.
"So many soldiers, could the Demon Fiends be attacking the city?" Someone showed a worried expression; without the appearance of Demon Fiends, such a large troop would never be mobilized.
"This is the heart of Da Xu. Even if Demon Fiends appear, they would be those powerful Demon Kings. How could ordinary Demon Fiends breach this place? If Demon Kings were to come, these soldiers would just be marching to their deaths."
Someone shook their head: "Probably going to support Yun Jin City. Ever since our Human Race slaughtered a group of Demon Kings, the Demon Fiend side hasn’t been satisfied. Though they haven’t sent Demon Kings, the ordinary Demon Army has continuously attacked Yun Jin City in retaliation.
It is said that the ordinary soldiers there have suffered significant casualties, and the Court has repeatedly mobilized soldiers from various places to aid in support."
"These beasts, unable to overpower our Martial Kings, attempt to retaliate on the battlefield. Such attrition will surely deplete Da Xu’s soldiers."
"Just blame Da Xu’s Princess Zhihua and Wei Fan being friends..."
...
Wei Fan’s gaze sharpened; having driven back a multitude of Demon Kings before, the Demon Fiend side now seeks further revenge.
Not targeting the Human Race powerhouses directly, they instead target the ordinary soldiers. Such continuous attacks could wipe out Da Xu’s troops.
"Will it ever end?"
The muscles on his face twitched momentarily before he quickly returned to his original appearance.
Feng Hua expressed surprise: "Why reveal your true face?"
She couldn’t understand why Wei Fan would suddenly decide to stop concealing his identity.
"Now that I have reached the Peak Martial King, let all who wish to kill me come!" Cold light gleamed in his eyes.
As a Peak Martial King, unless a Martial Saint emerges, even the Saint Son from the Emperor Dao Sect holds no threat to him. Now he needs power to prepare for the third transformation of Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations, and to break through to Martial Saint. Instead of finding enemies, let them come to him.
Previously concealing his true identity was to avoid trouble and disrupt his growth plans. Now, what he needs is battle; how can he draw out those enemies if he conceals his true identity?
Feng Hua felt a sudden chill in her scalp; she knew that the audacious butcher Wei Fan from the Wilderness had returned, ready to assert his wild presence in the Five Great Domains.
With low cultivation, arriving at the Five Great Domains—where Martial Kings are as common as dogs—Wei Fan had remained low-key, having avoided extermination despite being besieged several times. It was no easy feat for him.
Now, achieving the Peak Martial King, Wei Fan would begin his uninhibited rampage. Without the emergence of a Martial Saint, she couldn’t fathom how many Martial Kings would be needed to pose any threat to Wei Fan.
"I wonder if he can exchange a few blows with a Martial Saint..." Feng Hua revealed an expectant expression.
This guy is arrogant, but truly formidable.
The pinnacle of Body Refining Martial Arts and True Essence Martial Arts, practicing the Nine-Nine True Skill and the Scripture of the Three Emperors, such unparalleled martial arts—ordinary Saint Sons wouldn’t withstand a single punch.
"He also wields the Five Emperors Fist!"
She believed Wei Fan might be able to exchange blows with a recently breakthrough Martial Saint. It’s said that Xuanyuan Peak, during his Peak Martial King days, used the Five Emperors Fist to withstand a blow from a newly ascended Martial Saint, though heavily injured, yet surviving—creating a stunning record.
It’s crucial to understand the Martial Saint is the threshold of transcendence. The adage across the Five Great Domains is that below the Martial Saint, all are ants, and no one can rival a Martial Saint. Even sustaining heavy injuries from one punch by a Martial Saint is a monumental event.
To her perspective, Wei Fan was undoubtedly stronger than Xuanyuan Peak during his Peak Martial King phase, and his rise was relentless. Many records left by Xuanyuan Peak were already shattered by Wei Fan.
The mantle of the greatest genius in two thousand years partially shifted unknown to the world.
"Let’s go! To Yun Jin City!"
Finishing his meal, Wei Fan tossed the payment onto the table before heading outside, followed closely by Feng Hua.
"That is... Wei Fan!"
Suddenly someone noticed Wei Fan’s actions and recognized him instantly, exclaiming in shock.
His fame in Beiding Continent was considerable, from the first incident at Zilan Sect, his reputation spread across Beiding Continent—then later, slaying the Little Bull King in Linyao City, defeating Tian Qiuping of Fire Cloud Cave at Thunder Mountain, and most recently killing the Second Elder of Zilan Sect. His fame rivaled that of a Holy Sect Saint Son, surpassing some as many believed.
Yet despite his significant reputation, he rarely appeared in Jianghu, as most realized his troublesome affairs often required him to hide his true identity. This time, revealing himself shocked many.
The desire for excitement runs rampant in Jianghu, with numerous forces having dedicated intelligence personnel. It wasn’t long before the news of Wei Fan’s appearance near Da Xu’s Vajra Sect spread.
