Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1599 - Center of Attention

The people on the sixth level were stunned. The news crashed into their minds like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, detonating unexpectedly and leaving them utterly blank for a moment.

Chen Fan actually killed Shark Crown Prince. How was that possible?

That was Shark Crown Prince, a young master-level figure in the Chaotic Demon Sea, whose terrifying strength was said to rival that of some old monsters.

He was the one who harvested lives wherever he went. Since when had he become prey? And at the hands of Chen Fan, no less?

“How is that possible? How could that possibly happen? That is Shark Crown Prince! Let alone Chen Fan, even other young master-level figures can’t kill him!”

“Didn’t Shark Crown Prince lead people back to the fifth level months ago to hunt Chen Fan? After that, Chen Fan appeared on the sixth level, and Shark Crown Prince vanished. So this is what happened. He failed and died instead.”

“How dare he? He actually dared to kill the Shark Crown Prince. Does he not want to live anymore? Does he want to make an enemy out of the entire deep-sea giant shark tribe?”

“Insane. Savage. Ruthless. None of those words is enough.”

“No wonder the deep-sea giant shark tribe erupted the moment they arrived on the sixth level. A roar spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers... now it makes sense.”

“I know, right? Shark Crown Prince is the future king of the deep-sea giant shark tribe. Killing him is an irreconcilable blood feud. There’s no way the tribe lets this go.”

“But Chen Fan is too bold. After killing the prince, he still dared to come up to the sixth level. He’s completely disregarding the deep-sea giant shark tribe.”

Once the truth of the news was confirmed, the sixth level exploded into chaos. It was as if a meteor had smashed into still water, sending waves sky-high.

The news was sensational.

People like Shark Crown Prince were successors to various king-level forces. Their strength was unquestionable, and their background terrifying. No one touched such people lightly. That was an unspoken law.

Yet Chen Fan had shattered it.

Naturally, most people assumed his end was inevitable. With the deep-sea giant shark tribe mobilizing its experts, Chen Fan should have been cornered, forced to pay for his madness.

The peril Chen Fan was about to face was clear.

But reality slapped everyone in the face.

Instead of fleeing, Chen Fan struck first. He ambushed the tribe’s pursuers, slaughtered three eighth-level Immortal Platform realm experts, and escaped from the peak Immortal Platform realm experts in one piece.

The sixth level erupted into chaos instantly as soon as the news spread.

Everyone had expected Chen Fan to be crushed. Instead, the deep-sea giant shark tribe suffered real losses.

Although a king-level force, nurturing three eighth-level Immortal Platform realm experts took plenty of resources. There weren’t many of them in the entire deep-sea giant shark tribe; each of them was a treasure. While not crippling, the blow was heavy.

“Chen Fan is truly heaven-defying. It seems that unless an Immortal King takes action, no one can capture him.”

“It’s worse than that. If they’re careless, even ninth-level Immortal Platform experts could die.”

“How could this be? He’s only in the fifth-level Immortal Platform realm. How can he cross three or four realms and still kill his enemies?”

“I heard that he has an incredible immortal artifact that is enhanced by nine immortal souls, boosting his strength significantly. The shark tribe misjudged him and walked straight into an ambush. By the time the ninth-level experts reacted, three of their people were already dead.”

“Tsk tsk, like I said, his identity must not be simple since he dared to kill Shark Crown Prince. That much is obvious.”

“Who knows? Perhaps it's an artifact he obtained in the sealed land.”

“At this point, without an Immortal King, they truly can’t touch him.”

“Relax. The shark tribe’s Immortal King just hasn’t arrived yet. Once he does, Chen Fan won’t escape. They’ll seal every exit. The moment he leaves, he dies.”

“That’s right. King-level forces aren’t to be trifled with.”

“But why are they still not here? What’s delaying the Immortal Kings? Word was sent out long ago, but there still isn’t any news of them.”

“Apparently, the Immortal Kings are stuck. They entered the deepest region of the sealed land and got trapped in some ancient tomb.”

“I see...”

As one shocking development followed another, Chen Fan’s name spread like wildfire. He surpassed the so-called young masters and became the unquestioned focal point of the sixth level.

An elder in the peak Immortal Platform realm had led the deep-sea giant shark tribe to hunt down Chen Fan, but they were ambushed instead. The slap to their face was so loud that even bystanders felt secondhand pain.

While shocked, the crowd also grew more terrified of Chen Fan.

Amid the uproar, Chen Fan was quietly elevated to an unprecedented status: the strongest figure of the younger generation.

Naturally, the deep-sea giant shark tribe refused to swallow this insult. They placed a bounty on Chen Fan and kept raising it—one million immortal stones for his head. Moreover, whoever succeeded would gain the tribe’s protection.

Although many feared Chen Fan’s strength and methods, people stirred restlessly upon learning that the bounty had been raised and that they would even become honored guests of the deep-sea giant shark tribe.

A million immortal stones were astronomical wealth even for Immortal Kings.

Greed ignited hearts. Courage followed illusion.

Thus, in the following months, Chen Fan encountered dozens of attempts on his life from eighth and ninth-level Immortal Platform realm experts. Even seventh-level martial artists tried their luck.

As bodies piled up, the hunters thinned.

At first, Chen Fan could face ten ambushes in quick succession. Later, half a month might pass without a single encounter.

Evidently, Chen Fan killing his pursuers struck fear into those people.

Although Chen Fan was only in the fifth-level Immortal Platform realm, with the Nine Immortals Bell in hand, he could kill eighth-level Immortal Platform realm experts easily and could even fight ninth-level experts. Across the entire Chaotic Demon Sea Region, how many people could reach that level?

In the most recent ambush, Chen Fan unleashed a series of hidden cards while empowered by the Nine Immortals Bell and killed a ninth-level Immortal Platform realm, thoroughly terrifying the people.

Previously, Chen Fan could easily kill eighth-level Immortal Platform realm experts by relying on the Nine Immortals Bell’s power, but could only hold his own against a ninth-level Immortal Platform realm expert.

Now, he could kill them.

That single fact extinguished most people’s greed. From that point onward, only the deep-sea giant shark tribe continued the pursuit.
