Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1605 - Heavy Casualties

“We escaped!”

“We survived!”

“Great! Wonderful! I survived! Boohoo...”

The survivors could no longer contain their emotions. This time, death had brushed past them far too closely.

Had it not been for sheer luck, decisive reactions, and the protection of powerful artifacts, they would have shared the same fate as the others: torn apart by spatial collapse or swallowed whole by the Heaven-Shaking Hou or the great demon.

Everyone felt a sense of relief at having narrowly avoided the disaster.

The misfortune this time was too terrifying.

Out of about twenty Immortal King powerhouses, how many of them managed to escape?

As for the Immortal Platform realm experts, the demon devoured more than half of them.

The losses were staggering.

Tragic did not even begin to describe it.

Chen Fan was also one of the lucky survivors. The instant he broke free of the danger zone, he did not hesitate. He transformed into a streak of light and vanished toward the horizon without sparing a moment.

Surviving this event was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Two peerless, ominous creatures had clashed, and they were unfortunate enough to get caught in it.

Swish, swish, swish.

Numerous figures swept over and descended outside the herbal garden island. Seeing the devastation and ruins, they all sucked in breaths of cold air.

“What happened? What exactly happened here?”

“Where’s our Immortal King?”

Soon, the survivors explained what had happened.

Speculation spread as the crowd argued over the demon’s next move.

“The demon has been freed. If this continues, it will bring catastrophe to the world,” someone sighed, worry etched deep into their face.

“That’s unlikely,” another countered. “Even if the demon shakes off the Heaven-Shaking Hou, it would probably retreat to the Demon Realm. This place suppresses them too heavily.”

“Haaa, that’s all talk for the future. The various major forces have suffered heavy losses this time. Everyone thought this was a chance to rise, yet they unleashed a calamity and paid with countless lives instead.”

“Exactly. So many Immortal Kings entered the sealed land, and only a handful returned. The rest... there’s no need to say more.”

Low murmurs rippled through the crowd.

“The deep-sea giant shark tribe suffered the biggest loss. They lost all their Immortal Kings who entered the sealed land, and that demon also devoured the additional three Immortal Kings dispatched here. Tsk tsk, that kind of loss will cripple them. The other king-level forces will surge far ahead.”

“Exactly. I heard that Shark Crown Prince was killed inside the sealed land. That’s why they mobilized so many experts to intercept his murderer. But now, they have lost even more.”

They had some knowledge of the major forces’ movements.

For the treasures hidden within the sealed land, the various major forces had dispatched numerous experts and even a few Immortal King powerhouses. Instead of profit, they suffered devastating losses. Those great forces were surely weeping blood now.

Ironically, this outcome benefited the smaller factions and rogue cultivators in the Chaotic Demon Sea.

Not long after, reinforcements from the major forces arrived. Even they were struck dumb by the destruction.

“Ahhh!”

The deep-sea giant shark tribe’s people roared madly. They had truly suffered crippling damage. They could’ve endured the loss of a few Immortal Platform experts, but they had nearly lost half of all the Immortal Kings their tribe had.

Those figures were the backbone of their dominance over the seas. With them gone, the tribe’s power plummeted overnight. They immediately fell behind the other king-level forces and would be forced to endure humiliation for at least ten thousand years.

Alas, what’s happened has already happened. It was useless to regret. Could they possibly dare to seek revenge against that great demon?

As for Chen Fan, under such circumstances, he had long been forgotten.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Half a month ago, the great demon suppressed within the Chaotic Demon Sea had broken free, causing mass casualties. Every major force had lost at least a few Immortal Kings, suffering grievous damage. Independent cultivators had fared even worse.

The entire Chaotic Demon Sea descended into turmoil.

Chaotic Demon City remained lively on the surface, yet it was noticeably quieter than before. Street fights became rare. In taverns and inns, one topic dominated all conversations: the disaster half a month earlier and the losses it brought.

“How truly unexpected. It turns out that the legends are real. A great demon was indeed suppressed within our Chaotic Demon Sea.” 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

“That demon was terrifying. I saw it myself. An Immortal King from the deep-sea giant shark tribe was no more than an insect to him. Caught and eaten in an instant.”

“Haaa, hopefully the Demon Suppression Tower will suppress the demon once more. Otherwise, it will remain a threat.”

“Can’t disagree with that...”

......

A green figure rapidly streaked across the sky. It was none other than Chen Fan.

Half a month ago, Chen Fan was fortunate enough to avoid the disaster. He didn’t linger around and directly charged out of the Chaotic Demon Sea. He didn’t stop by the Chaotic Demon City either and directly headed toward Guangyuan City.

The emergence of the demon had helped him immensely, attracting all the attention of the deep-sea giant shark tribe away from him.

“The various major forces had suffered heavy losses from the demon’s emergence. They will probably lie low for the foreseeable future.”

Chen Fan’s eyes flickered.

He had not expected a trip to the Chaotic Demon Sea to turn into such a brush with death.

“I wonder if the Demon Suppression Tower managed to seal that demon again. If not, the Heavenly Realm will face a true calamity...”

“These matters are beyond me. With my current strength, I wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gap between his teeth. Still, the deep-sea giant shark tribe is badly wounded. They won’t have time to chase me. That spares me a lot of trouble.

“Whatever, the trip to the Chaotic Demon Sea is over. Danger aside, the harvest was enormous. Not only did I obtain rare natural treasures, but I also secured the remnant map piece from Shark Crown Prince. I need to find some time to study it and prepare for the Immortal King realm in advance.”

He cast these troublesome matters to the back of his mind. These were things he still wasn’t qualified to worry about. He only needed to do his best for what he could at present.

“I’ve also fulfilled my promise by obtaining the Soul Nascent Grass. Once I hand it to Gongsun Jing in Guangyuan City, I can finally return to the sect.”

Chen Fan’s eyes flickered.

It has been over a decade since he left the Featherlight Sect for the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm. Looking back, it felt like only a moment had gone by.

As for him, he had grown from the Legendary realm to the fifth-level Immortal Platform realm. From head to toe, he had undergone a complete transformation.
