Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1600 - Gathered in One Place

After Chen Fan killed a ninth-level Immortal Platform realm expert in battle, he completely vanished from everyone's sight.

Speculation spread immediately. Some insisted that although he had won with the help of a powerful immortal artifact, the price was too great, and he ultimately died from his injuries in some forgotten corner. Others believed he had withdrawn into hiding to recover. There were even rumors claiming he had already left the sixth level and exited the Demon Suppression Tower altogether.

Truth and fabrication tangled together, impossible to untangle in such a short time.

However, just as the rumors were circulating, news even more shocking swept across the sixth level.

The Immortal Kings from the various major forces had finally arrived.

They had come from afar, dispatched by their respective forces, rather than emerging from the sealed land as everyone had expected. This detail unsettled many. After all, several Immortal Kings were already gathered in the sealed land, yet none of them rushed over. Instead, an entirely different group appeared.

The experts from the various forces found this strange, but the various king-level forces had tacitly sealed off the news, not responding to the people’s doubts.

The unusual situation drew the attention of many, but no one could get any information from the experts of the various king-level forces.

That silence bred unease. Some began to consider withdrawing from the Demon Suppression Tower altogether.

Judging by the current situation, even if the tower changed hands, it would never belong to rogue cultivators. In the past, when only figures like Shark Crown Prince and Young Master Poison were involved, there had still been room to gamble. Now, with Immortal Kings present, all such hopes were extinguished.

With the arrival of the Immortal King realm experts, things were gradually getting out of the rogue cultivators’ hands.

In a secluded forest, a green figure emerged. It was Chen Fan.

The rumors were not entirely wrong. He had indeed suffered severe injuries in that battle and chose to retreat to recuperate.

After all, the nine immortal souls within the Nine Immortals Bell were only in the ninth-level Immortal Platform realm in their lifetimes. Even though they could greatly support him, their effectiveness waned as his opponents grew stronger.

Victory had come at a cost.

But now, his injuries had healed, and his cultivation had also improved steadily in this environment, reaching the peak of the fifth-level Immortal Platform realm. His current combat power had stabilized firmly at the eighth level.

Once Chen Fan broke through to the sixth-level Immortal Platform realm, eighth-level Immortal Platform realm experts would be nothing more than fodder.

While he was only a hair’s breadth away from the sixth-level Immortal Platform realm, Chen Fan knew that there was no telling when he could successfully take his final step. Perhaps it required an opportunity, perhaps time.

His rise had been too fast. Though forged through life-and-death trials, faint instability lingered in his foundation.

He had no intention of breaking through immediately.

Given his current strength, even Immortal Kings might not be able to kill him easily. Consolidation was the wiser choice. Breaking through could wait until he returned to the sect.

“Immortal King realm experts have entered, huh...”

He had initially planned to leave, as the Demon Suppression Tower was dangerous, and the deep-sea giant shark tribe had already arrived. Staying meant constant risk, and he knew better than anyone that the tower could never fall into his hands.

However, after hearing that the Immortal Kings were preparing to join forces against the massive beast guarding the seventh level, his plans changed.

After making up his mind, Chen Fan immediately stepped forth, disappearing into the horizon quickly, making his way toward the entrance to the seventh level.

Along the way, he encountered countless martial artists, all transforming into beams of light heading in the same direction.

On one side awaited an unknown colossal beast. On the other stood Immortal Kings. A battle of unprecedented scale was inevitable, and merely witnessing it could bring immense insight.

Chen Fan deliberately kept his distance. The deep-sea giant shark tribe’s Immortal King was also present, so getting too close would mean exposure.

Suddenly, intense fluctuations rippled through the sky as dozens of streams of light charged over from the distance with unstoppable momentum. Some rode multicolored light, others sat astride ferocious beasts of obscure bloodlines, charging forward like a raging flood.

Every rogue cultivator turned to look. The real players had arrived.

“It’s the deep-sea giant shark tribe’s people. I didn’t expect them to be the first to show up. Weren’t they busy hunting down Chen Fan recently? They’re suddenly free now?”

“What’s more important, revenge or the Demon Suppression Tower? Killing Chen Fan means nothing if they lose their chance here.”

“Arriving first shows that they are determined to obtain it at all costs.”

Following the deep-sea giant shark tribe’s arrival, two more groups arrived majestically. The crocodile tribe. The heavenly lightning devouring toad tribe. The three dominant sea tribe overlords of the Chaotic Demon Sea Region stood assembled.

Next came the sea demon race. Though fewer in number, their presence was no less oppressive.

Only after that did the human experts finally arrive.

The horizon rumbled like thunder. Chariots tore through the skies, their wheels grinding the air itself. The men leading them radiated unfathomable pressure.

Among the crowd, Chen Fan also spotted Qi Dong, operating a bronze chariot.

An Immortal King from the deep-sea giant shark said, “If we want to enter the seventh level, we must work together and kill this beast. There’s no other way. Now that everyone is here, we may begin!”

“With our combined strength, even a creature from the primordial era will fall,” the crocodile tribe’s Immortal King said, arrogance etched into his gaze.

A sea demon Immortal King swept his eyes across the shadows and warned, “We shall slay this ferocious beast by force. To avoid harming the innocent, everyone must retreat!”

Although it was still unknown in whose hands the ferocious beast would die in the end and where its corpse would end up, they couldn’t allow the rogue cultivators to benefit from the chaos.

Those rogue cultivators stirred restlessly. Among them were a few peak Immortal Platform realm experts, even half-step Immortal Kings.

Now, the field was about to be cleared.
