Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 333 - Nebulous Battle Palace

Ten days went by in a flash.

In a small, dense forest:

Puchi!

Chen Fan killed another blood demon with his spear and muttered, “I wonder how many more blood demons there are in the Nebulous Mysterious Realm.”

Several blood demons had attacked him when he came to this small forest.

These blood demons were far weaker than Xue Tianhe. The strongest of them had recently reached the eighth level. Chen Fan slew them easily.

“It’s been almost a month since I entered the mysterious realm. I'll consider this training session over if I don't find any valuable treasures in the next few days.”

Chen Fan calculated in his mind. Over the past ten days, he had encountered some minor opportunities, but they had little impact on his cultivation.

Just as he was about to leave the small forest, the space suddenly shook violently.

Tens of thousands of miles away in the east, a rainbow light rushed into the sky, piercing the heavens.

“What’s that?” Chen Fan’s gaze narrowed fiercely.

This phenomenon was too grand. Everyone in the Nebulous Mysterious Realm could see it. The primeval qi of heaven and earth in the mysterious realm had also become much more active; it seemed it was about to go berserk.

“Is some huge opportunity appearing in this world?”

Chen Fan quickly spread his Wings of Rain Dragon, confirmed the direction, and flew east.

Meanwhile, the entire Nebulous Mysterious Realm was shaken.

Everyone witnessed the astonishing phenomenon in the eastern sky regardless of their location or what they had been doing.

They quickly stopped whatever they were doing. Their eyes flickered in excitement, and they immediately flew over in haste.

“Haha, this is unmistakably the sign of a rare treasure emerging. I must obtain it! Perhaps I can break through to the Core Formation realm with this.”

“Heavens, such a grand phenomenon. The treasure must be truly extraordinary," one remarked in awe.

“Heh heh, always opposing me, aren’t you? Just you wait. The day I get my hands on that treasure is the day you die.”

“What shameless boasting. You have to get past us if you want to take the treasure.” “......”

Regardless of their previous pursuits, be it exploring alone or fighting to the death, most people put down whatever they were doing and hurried toward the rainbow pillar.

......

In a canyon, a youth with a sword to his back condensed his qi into a sword and slew two eighth-level Yuanfu realm demon beasts. He smiled faintly after picking the natural treasure these two demon beasts were guarding.

Suddenly, he saw the phenomenon. This youth looked to the distance, and a shocking sword light burst from his eyes.

“This is... the Nebulous Battle Palace’s opening. Good, very good! With my current strength, I can conquer the seventh stage at the very least. After obtaining the prize from the battle hall, I will be seventy percent confident in breaking through to the Core Formation realm.”

This young swordsman unleashed his sword intent. His sword shot out of its sheath and floated in front of him. He jumped up on this sword and sped off as fast as lightning.

......

Near a river bank, a purple-clothed woman was treading on water. A light flickered in her beautiful eyes when she saw the phenomenon.

“Legend has it that the Nebulous Mysterious Realm had a battle palace in ancient times. This battle palace is usually invisible, only revealing itself at specific opportune moments. Some speculate it requires sufficient vitality energy to unlock, a theory not entirely unfounded.

“After all, this realm is a trial ground where death is inevitable. Their deaths would result in an abundance of vitality energy. Looks like many who entered the mysterious realm have died, thus unlocking the Nebulous Battle Palace.

“The Nebulous Battle Palace is supposed to be a treasure trove. It also has the Nebulous Divine Token that allows one to become a core disciple of the Nebulous Divine Palace.

“The Nebulous Divine Palace is now gone, but it will appear again one day. If I have that token, I can join it and have a certain advantage.”

She rose into the air and sped off at great speed.

......

Qiu Beihai and Lin Sihan were on a mountaintop.

Pointing to the east, Lin Sihan directed Qiu Beihai's attention to the colossal rainbow pillar illuminating half the sky.

“Senior Brother, look over there.”

Qiu Beihai, equally stunned, turned his gaze in that direction, his eyes darting with excitement.

Lin Sihan asked, “Senior Brother, could it be that an exceptional treasure has appeared in the world?”

Qiu Beihai answered, “No, the Nebulous Battle Palace has opened. It’s the core area the Nebulous Divine Palace used in ancient times to test their disciples. It only opens when certain conditions are met.”

“I didn’t expect to see it. We've truly struck luck. It’s filled with treasures, some of which can easily help me advance into the Core Formation realm. It would save me years of cultivation!

“Let’s not waste any time. It caused too big of a commotion, so everyone must have seen it. Countless others are likely rushing there as we speak. We should depart immediately to avoid falling behind.

“I can break through to the Core Formation realm as long as I enter the battle palace and obtain its treasures.”

Qiu Beihai swiftly launched himself into the air, streaking through the sky like an arrow.

His protective primeval force rubbed violently against the air, giving birth to a blazing flame. His whole person was like a big ball of fire. Everywhere he passed, rumbling noises rang out.

“Wait for me, Senior Brother!”

......

On a mountainside, Xue Tianhe nonchalantly discarded the drained corpse he held. His evil gaze was set on the rainbow light pillar, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

“The Nebulous Battle Palace has opened, huh.”

“Damn it! The righteous factions and the Nebulous Divine Palace were the reason behind our downfall. Yet, blood demons can not enter the battle palace, or else the energy within would obliterate us. Damn it! Damn it!” Xue Tianhe cursed.

The treasures inside the Nebulous Battle Palace were also tempting to him. However, Xue Tianhe wouldn't dare to venture into it.

“Never mind. I'll wait outside. I will move when those who have cleared the stages come out. I will snatch their treasures. I will use this opportunity to break through to the Core Formation realm and kill everyone in the mysterious realm!”

A very sinister light flashed across Xue Tianhe’s eyes. His form blurred into a streak of crimson light, shooting off.

......

The air blowing against his face was as sharp as a blade.

Chen Fan was like a big bird, flying across the skies extremely fast. Countless people were rushing to the battle palace with all their strength.

Swish, swish, swish.

Sounds of wind breaking rose and fell in his ear as the air churned.

These people executed all kinds of martial arts, all speeding across the sky. Their protective primeval force rubbed fiercely against the air, producing thunderous roars.

While tens of thousands of miles may seem daunting to ordinary folk, requiring ten days to half a month to cross, or Yuanfu realm experts like Chen Fan, it was merely a matter of an hour or so.
