Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 795 - Law Cleansing

Chapter 795 - Law Cleansing

The True Martial Assembly had come to an end.

The assembly allowed killing, resulting in the death of many geniuses. It was arguably the most brutal iteration in the assembly's history.

Every force involved in the assembly suffered the loss of their top talents.

This was a brutal competition where everyone risked their lives to achieve greatness.

Many people even said that in this iteration of True Martial Assembly, everyone—regardless of their strength and talent—was merely a stepping stone for the champion.

The champion's road to invincibility was paved with corpses. Even the strongest could become mere corpses, adding a chilling element to the competition.

Despite the brutality, this iteration of the True Martial Assembly also sparked deep reflections and gave rise to a legend of invincibility.

Those who shone brightly at the assembly were destined to become authorities of the eastern continent, holding up a side of the world.

This event solidified Chen Fans’ position as the strongest figure among the younger generation of the eastern continent, ensuring his name would echo across the world.

Chen Fan had steadily moved forward in this assembly, obtaining the Heavenly Star realm group’s championship with only sixth-level cultivation. No one knew how far he would go in the future, but everyone believed that the Legendary realm was just the beginning of his journey.

Mu Wuji, the overseer of the assembly, showed up again.

“The True Martial Assembly has ended. The three champions emerged right before your eyes. They earned it with their strength. Now, we shall start awarding them.”

The spatial arena slowly closed. All the light was withdrawn. The brutal battle aura also disappeared.

Mu Wuji handed out the rewards to the champions, making countless people envious.

Holding the Brilliant Blade in hand, Chen Fan’s heart burned with excitement.

This was a Grade-9 treasure—no, a top-tier Grade-9 treasure—a supremely precious item that even peak Legendary realm experts would covet.

With the Brilliant Blade, Chen Fan was like a tiger gaining a pair of wings.

“Perfect. The Purgatory Divine Halberd was destroyed in the battle with Wanxin. Now I finally have a worthy weapon.”

Chen Fan stroked the Brilliant Blade as if he was caressing his lover.

Aside from the Brilliant Blade, Chen Fan also obtained many other treasures. He had also received rewards and trophies for every victory. It could be said that this True Martial Assembly was a windfall for him.

Beyond the prizes from his match victories, the trophies for slaying other geniuses were worth an astronomical sum.

The geniuses Chen Fan had killed were all peerless talents from major forces, nurtured with the best resources their sects could offer. Now, all of that had become Chen Fan’s spoils.

“Damn it, why did I lose in the first round? I didn’t get anything!”

“Forget it. Just being alive is the best reward you could ask for.”

“That’s right. Did you see how many geniuses died in this iteration of the True Martial Assembly? You were lucky to lose your fight and not your life. You must’ve saved a lot of good karma in your past life.”

“Haaa, you guys have a point, but look at all the rewards Chen Fan got. How can I not be envious?”

“What’s the use in feeling envious? The champions had to risk their lives numerous times for that. Have you forgotten all those who wanted Chen Fan dead? I’m afraid he would have become one of those corpses if he hadn’t been strong.”

“......”

Countless people murmured. Their eyes were ablaze. Their tones carried a thick trace of envy.

Aside from the champions, the second and third placers also received generous rewards.

In this True Martial Assembly, the various superpowers, top-tier sects, and the academy poured an immense fortune into the event.

“Alright, you people, come with me.”

After handing out the rewards, Mu Wuji flung his sleeves. Immediately, Chen Fan and the other eight top placers were lifted by an invisible force, being pulled toward the depths of the True Martial Academy.

Chen Fan and the others did not panic, fully aware that they were being taken for a special reward—law cleansing.

Before the assembly had begun, Mu Wuji had said that the champions would gain an audience with the Academy Master Chu Qingtian—a Void Immortal, who would personally cleanse their bodies using the power of law.

On the other hand, the second and third placers would receive law cleansing from Legendary realm peak experts.

Soon, Chen Fan and the others arrived at a large palace hall.

Inside, six peak Legendary realm experts stood, their auras so vast they seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth with a single strike.

“You three, come with me,” Mu Wuji said to Chen Fan and the other champions.

The higher the cultivation of the one overseeing the law cleansing, the greater the benefits to the recipient.

Academy master Chu Qingtian had reached the pinnacle of understanding and mastering the law. He was only a step away from integrating those laws into himself and achieving true immortality.

The six runners-up revealed looks of envy, aware of the difference between receiving law cleansing from a Legendary realm and a Void Immortal.

Following Mu Wuji, the champions arrived at a hall, where a magnificent figure stood. It was none other than the True Martial Academy’s academy master, Chu Qingtian.

“Disciple Chen Fan,”

“Disciple Di Chen,”

“Disciple Liu Mubai,”

“Greets the academy master!”

Without Mu Wuji needing to introduce him, Chen Fan immediately recognized this imposing figure as the True Martial Academy, a behemoth of the Tianwu Continent.

Chu Qingtian looked at the three and said with a smile, “Very good. This True Martial Assembly was teeming with geniuses. The other powers also had some exceptional talents. Yet, you three managed to claim the championship, greatly boosting the reputation of our academy. Well done.”

“You flatter us, Academy Master. This is what we should be doing,” said Chen Fan and the others.

Chu Qingtian nodded and said, “I shan’t say anything superfluous. I hope you will cultivate even harder in the future and step into the Legendary realm sooner. I even hope to see you break through your limits and become true immortals.

“Now, prepare yourselves. I’ll begin the law cleansing.”

At his command, the three narrowed their gazes and sat cross-legged in anticipation.

Chu Qingtian silently grabbed at the void.

Immediately, the surrounding space shifted, and the trio felt an overwhelming aura pressing down on them, making them feel like ants.

Chu Qingtian struck out three times with his palm. Immediately, the power of laws descended on them, beginning the cleansing process.

Chen Fan felt a profound change, as though his entire being had fused with the void.

What were the laws?

Laws were the essence of everything in the world.

Chen Fan could feel his blood, flesh, tendons, bones, and membranes crave something ferociously. They had an extreme desire to devour the power of those laws.
