Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1057 - Parents in Trouble

As news of Chen Fan's escape from a Legendary realm expert spread, the man himself had gone into seclusion—his injuries too severe to ignore.

This encounter made one thing painfully clear: his strength was woefully inadequate against a Legendary realm expert.

Even top-tier Greater Peak Manifestation realm experts could kill him.

Although people find it astonishing that he escaped from a Legendary realm expert—and it was a miraculous feat that could go down the annals of history—Chen Fan knew that in front of absolute strength, he was still completely powerless to resist.

If not for his vast reserves of treasures, which he detonated at critical moments, he wouldn’t have even escaped the Colossal Clouds Heavenly Peak.

Not only that, a vague sense of unease rose in Chen Fan’s heart.

The Blood Demon Cave, a remnant of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect, was nearly impossible to eradicate. Its unique cultivation techniques held an irresistible allure; it was too tempting for the greedy and ambitious to ignore.

No matter how many times it was purged, there would always be those willing to embrace its forbidden path for the sake of power.

Therefore, the resurgence of the Blood Demon Cave barely raised an eyebrow.

Even at its peak, the Blood Demon Cave had merely been one of the hundred and eight branches. Weak overall, without a single Manifestation realm expert. It posed no real threat.

However, this time, the Scarlet Moon Hall had shown themselves.

The Scarlet Moon Hall was one of the thirty-six halls, ranked in the top ten. Not even ten Blood Demon Caves combined could come close to its strength.

During the blood calamity that swept through the Tianwu Continent, the orthodox alliance led by the Nebulous Divine Palace had targeted the nine palace halls and thirty-six halls, as they were the real threats in the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect.

In the great battle of the past, countless orthodox forces were wiped out, and even the mighty Nebulous Divine Palace became history. The Blood Heavenly Demon Sect was also crippled, with its nine palace halls and thirty-six halls nearly wiped out.

Yet now, Scarlet Moon Hall—one of those halls—had resurfaced. This could only mean one thing: after three thousand years of recuperation, the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect’s halls had regained their strength.

Was the reappearance of Scarlet Moon Hall a signal that the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect was about to make a comeback?

While Chen Fan was in seclusion, the Tianwu Continent plunged into turmoil.

It was as if the Scarlet Moon Hall’s emergence had forced an opening. One by one, the remnants of the sect revealed themselves, shaking the world with their actions.

When several prodigies of the Demon Advocate Sect, Thousand Autumns Temple, and Myriad Transformation Fairy Palace were out training, experts of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect intercepted and killed them. The successors of three superpowers perished.

Even elites like Di Chen, Huang Wuji, and the others were targeted. Huang Wuji, intercepted by a top-tier Greater Legendary realm expert, managed to survive thanks to his own comparable strength.

However, Di Chen wasn’t as lucky. A Lesser Legendary realm expert had targeted him.

Although his strength was top-tier among the Greater Peak Manifestation realm, he was still no match for a Lesser Legendary realm expert. As a result, he returned with grievous wounds.

This hunting of orthodox sect members wasn’t limited to the Peerless Peak. Elites from the nine main peaks of the academy, nurtured with great care, also fell victim to ambushes. Some returned gravely wounded, while others perished.

Aside from the eastern continent, the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect’s experts also appeared in the central, southern, western, and northern continents, targeting peerless talents, successors of the nine overlord-class forces, and heirs of superpowers and cults.

Chaos loomed over the Tianwu Continent.

Fear spread as many worried their names would appear on the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect’s must-kill list.

This enraged the nine overlord class forces and the numerous superpowers. They immediately dispatched their experts to search for the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect’s remnant experts. Some remnant experts were found and suffered devastating losses, their forces nearly wiped out.

Unfortunately, this also gave the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect’s experts another opportunity to ambush and kill more orthodox experts. Even Invincible Legendary realm apex experts fell in these ambushes.

The news sent shockwaves through the Tianwu Continent.

On the Tianwu Continent, Invincible Legendary realm experts were the absolute peak powerhouses, just below Void Immortals. Such experts had powerful vitality and long lifespans and were very difficult to kill.

Yet, some Invincible Legendary realm experts had shockingly perished after being ambushed while wiping out the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect’s remnants.

Only now did people realize that after three thousand years of dormancy, the sect’s survivors had fully recovered.

Take the top five halls of the thirty-six halls, for example. Their overall strength was comparable to the current superpowers. Meanwhile, the higher-ranked nine palace halls were no weaker than the overlord class forces.

Three thousand years ago, the Tianwu Continent’s orthodox forces united to destroy the sect, wiping out seventy to eighty percent of its halls. Yet, many legacies remained.

Also, some halls were crippled but not eradicated. Now, they had recovered and joined forces. Their overall strength was even stronger than any single overlord-class force.

The continent braced for chaos—a storm was brewing.

The Blood Heavenly Demon Sect had yet to show up, and its revived halls remained hidden, biding their time.

Therefore, despite the tension, no major battles erupted. The nine overlord class forces and numerous superpowers had launched a sweeping purge after their elites were ambushed, dealing heavy losses to the sect, including Invincible Legendary realm experts.

Perhaps shaken by the setback, the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect retreated into obscurity once more.

Naturally, Chen Fan was unaware of all this.

The injuries he had suffered in Nie Han’s hands were too severe, so he had to spend an entire year recuperating.

A year later, Chen Fan emerged from his seclusion and learned of the recent events on the Tianwu Continent, especially the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect’s reappearance.

Although he wished he could wipe out the remnants of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect immediately, he knew his current cultivation was far too weak.

One day, while meditating atop a sea of clouds in the rear mountains of the Peerless Peak, he suddenly stood up. A terrifying aura erupted from him, scattering the swirling mist..

Just a moment ago, the true primeval incarnation he had left at his parents’ side had dissipated.

After returning from the Myriad Demon Islands to the Great Chen Empire, he had created this incarnation, its strength comparable to a first or second-level Manifestation realm expert.

Now, its connection was severed—it had completely dissipated.

Something had happened.
