Chapter 513 - Ninth-Level Core Formation Realm

“Don’t bother wasting your breath on him. Let’s strike together and kill him, in case things go awry!” growled Xue Cang, a one-revolution Golden Core blood demon, with a savage expression.

He decided to take the lead and attacked immediately. With a swift motion, he materialized a colossal, bloody hand from thin air, which descended on Chen Fan with overwhelming power.

Although Xue Cang wasn’t as strong as Young Master Xue Jia, his cultivation allowed him to mobilize a small amount of the primeval qi of heaven and earth. This enabled him to strike with formidable momentum.

Heaven fell and earth cracked as a terrifying aura appeared.

The blood-colored hand swept down, threatening to crush Chen Fan and everything around him into oblivion.

But Chen Fan wasn't one to passively face death. He had subdued a peak one-revolution Golden Core expert, Xue Jia, so there was no way Xue Cang could kill him with such a simple attack.

He thrust his arm, and a terrifying spear light flew out. It destroyed everything in its path as it hurtled toward the large bloody hand.

Rumble!

A terrifying force erupted, ripping that large bloody hand apart and turning it into boundless blood-colored primeval qi, which dissipated into the air. The bloody light dyed half the sky red as if the heavens were weeping tears of blood.

“It seems you don’t intend to join our holy cult. Fine, destruction it is, then!”

Although Chen Fan had injured Young Master Xue Jia, it wasn’t anything severe. His combat strength didn’t dip by much. He immediately channeled his cultivation and erupted with absolute pressure and attacked.

His axe descended violently. It unleashed a devastating energy that surged through space, aiming to crush Chen Fan with the power to move mountains and part seas.

The force contained in this ax was much more terrifying than the blood-colored hand.

If Chen Fan only had to face Young Master Xue Jia, he would have had nothing to fear. However, Duan Jingtian and Xue Cang had also launched their attacks simultaneously. Their techniques were earth-shattering and tore the skies apart. If they landed on Chen Fan, he would be crippled even if he survived.

Chen Fan knew he couldn't afford to take their combined assault head-on, despite his immense strength.

Boom!

As the mountains trembled and the seas roared, Chen Fan acted swiftly.

“Break!” With a decisive stab, he shattered Young Master Xue Jia’s attack, then summoned the Purgatory Divine Halberd with his left hand to cleave through Xue Cang’s onslaught.

But as Duan Jingtian’s formidable strike bore down on him, Chen Fan had no choice but to summon the Wind and Cloud Banners for protection.

Rumble!

The Wind and Cloud Banners were about to give way. It would be dangerous if he failed to advance to the ninth level.

Blood demon cores and regular demon cores were being refined away. An enormous number of primeval stones shattered, releasing a storm of primeval qi around Chen Fan. It was as if he had become a black hole, swallowing the massive amounts of qi.

“Not good, he’s trying to break through! Hurry, destroy the Wind and Cloud Banners’ protection at once. We’ll be in big trouble if he breaks through!”

Although the trio couldn’t see Chen Fan since he was surrounded by the Wind and Cloud Banners, they could sense the shocking fluctuations coming from within.

Chen Fan was already so terrifyingly powerful while at the peak of the eighth level, strong enough to fight a peak one-revolution Golden Core expert. So, he would only become stronger with each advancement. They might not be able to suppress and defeat him then.

Therefore, the trio immediately attacked without reservations, sending devastating attacks to destroy the Wind and Cloud Banners.

Crack, crack, crack!

The Wind and Cloud Banners began shaking under the bombardment.

Both parties were fighting for time. Every second mattered.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Chen Fan’s true primeval struck the barrier that stood before the ninth-level Core Formation realm. Though it was a sturdy wall, under Chen Fan's relentless assault, it began to tear like paper.

“Open for me!” Young Master Xue Jia roared furiously. His Heaven Splitting Ax expanded and attacked the damaged Wind and Cloud Banners. With a rumble, the Wind and Cloud Banners broke.

Boom!

In that same moment, the energy inside Chen Fan erupted like floodwaters breaching a dam, shaking heaven and earth. The barrier to the ninth-level Core Formation realm collapsed.

It was like a thousand-mile-long dam crumbling from a single ant's hole, shattering instantly and disappearing like smoke. A surge of momentum exploded into the sky, forcing the trio to pull back.

“Roar!” Chen Fan roared to the skies. A wave of strength surged through him, burning and boiling like a towering wave.

An invisible wave of qi stormed out. The surrounding space boomed, and the air exploded by the inch, forming a vacuum.

Chen Fan had finally advanced to the ninth level.
