Chapter 724 - Breaking Through to Heavenly Star
Chen Fan reached out and grabbed a fist-sized piece; it had many hideous faces and demonic silhouettes flickering across its surface.
As soon as his skin made contact with it, the enormous demonic will within rushed into Chen Fan’s sea of consciousness, wanting to turn him into a demon.
This demonic will was so potent that it could invade even a Heavenly Star realm expert’s mind, eventually transforming them into a demon.
But Chen Fan remained unfazed. He summoned the Heaven Seizing Furnace in his palm, refining the demonic qi into sacred light, alternating between light and darkness.
This piece of ore in his hand transformed into a translucent, sparkling stone, now radiating faint immortal qi and pulsing with pure, eternal power.
“So, this is a hell ore, an energy crystal on the same level as an immortal stone, huh? It is indeed peculiar. It holds a power I can’t fully grasp, yet it fills me with both fear and awe,” Chen Fan murmured, gripping the ore tightly.
The once demonic hell ore now emitted a vast and pure power that stirred a deep desire within him, far surpassing the allure of primeval stones.
“Very good. The energy contained in this one piece of hell ore surpasses that of countless primeval stones, and it’s of a higher grade. No wonder Legendary realm peak experts crave these ores.”
Chen Fan now knew that immortals existed above the Legendary realm. The tales of ascending into immortality weren’t just myths—they were real.
The power cultivated by immortals was naturally much more powerful than the power they cultivated. Legendary realm peak experts touched upon the laws of heaven and earth and tried to comprehend the power of those laws.
Chen Fan guessed that the energy within hell ores was what these Legendary experts needed to master the laws of the universe.
“Excellent. Just this one piece of hell ore is already making my true primeval stir restlessly. I’ve hit the jackpot—this is likely a mini hell ore vein,” he said, smiling as he gazed at the vein in the ground.
With a fierce stomp, Chen Fan shattered the metal-like earth beneath his feet, revealing an ore vein about ten meters long. The soil in the Hell Demon Realm was as hard as metal.
If ordinary Core Formation realm experts stomped on it, the soil wouldn’t even move. Their true primeval couldn’t cut through it, and their divine weapons wouldn’t make a dent.
Even this dense black soil was valuable, ideal for refining supreme demonic tools.
But this kind of ground was no obstacle to Chen Fan. As his power of myriad elephants erupted, the earth tore apart instantly, causing the entire continent to shake.
Chen Fan grabbed fiercely, capturing this miniature ore vein, which had nearly a thousand pieces of hell ore.
With so many hell ores, Chen Fan had more than enough to advance into the Heavenly Star realm.
“Good, very good, it’s time to break through to the Heavenly Star realm!” he declared, storing all the hell ore and preparing to absorb their energy immediately.
He sat down cross-legged on the ground, then took out fifty pieces of hell ore and threw them into the Heaven Seizing Furnace. The blazing heaven-refining flames immediately erupted, refining the demonic qi, demonic will, and extracting the boundless energy within.
As the hell ore melted away, the boundless energy surged into Chen Fan. Chen Fan swelled up like a balloon as if he was about to explode.
Although it was only fifty pieces of hell ore, it was equivalent to fifty immortal stones—the energy crystals used by immortals for cultivation. The energy contained within was immense, far surpassing that of a hundred million primeval stones.
Chen Fan’s expression changed slightly, realizing that he had underestimated the boundless energy contained in hell ores. He immediately began to channel the Heaven Seizing Art and refine the boundless energy inside him furiously.
Boom, boom!
Chen Fan’s cultivation shot to the peak of the ninth-level Divine Nascent realm almost instantly and broke through the threshold of the half-step Heavenly Star realm at once.
He had long since comprehended the power of Martial Dao Will, and after killing those monstrous geniuses, he fed their wills to his Chaos Will. Consequently, his martial will had already reached the second level.
As a result, breaking through to the Heavenly Star realm posed no challenge in terms of Martial Dao Will for Chen Fan. All he needed was enough true primeval to advance.
Under the refining of the Heaven Seizing Art, the boundless energy circulated wildly inside Chen Fan. The true primeval in his dantian was like the rising tide, surging explosively.
His aura was like boiling water, boiling violently.
Rumble!
Soon, destructive fluctuations and tribulation clouds appeared in the dusky Little Demon Realm. Nebulous clouds and chain lightning struck down, trying to stop Chen Fan\'s breakthrough and reduce him to ashes.
These lightning bolts were powerful enough to annihilate a second-level Heavenly Star realm expert. However, to Chen Fan, they were just a mild annoyance, unable to harm him.
Chen Fan continued his breakthrough.
One day passed, then ten.
Half a month passed.
By now, his aura had become terrifying, distorting the space within ten thousand meters. He was just one step away from the Heavenly Star realm.
The energy from fifty pieces of hell ore was too vast. Even after half a month had passed, Chen Fan had only refined half of it.
By now, Chen Fan’s body had mostly returned to normal after being swollen with energy.
Rumble!
Suddenly, it was as if a massive explosion went off within him. A terrifying aura erupted from his body, sweeping outward and shattering demonic mountains in its path.
At this time, tribulation water surged out from the void, wanting to drown Chen Fan.
That tribulation water was dark like ink. Wherever it surged to, the bright, pure land was dyed pitch-black.
No one could stop the tribulation water. It even had an extremely corrosive nature.
The sheer magnitude of Chen Fan’s breakthrough spread its fluctuations across hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
Many demons sensed the disturbance and rushed toward his location.
However, as soon as they arrived, they were horrified by the sight of the surging tribulation water. Panic spread through the crowd, and they fled in terror.
“Jambudvipa Tribulation Water!”
“It’s the Jambudvipa Tribulation Water. My god, why would this terrifying thing appear when this lowly worm is breaking through to the Heavenly Star realm?”
Even demons already in the Heavenly Star realm were terrified. The sight of the black tribulation water made their scalps tingle with fear, and they fled, shrieking in panic.
