Unrivaled Martial Emperor Chapter 164 -Xiaobai Awakens

Chapter 164 – Xiaobai Awakens

Chen Fan didn’t leave the clan or his residence like a noble lady, committing all his energy to cultivating.

Relying on the Heaven Seizing Furnace’s terrifying refining ability, Chen Fan refined the three demon cores and absorbed their essence.

Within his dantian, primeval qi surged like an ocean, revolving and compressing endlessly.

In the deepest part of his dantian and primeval qi, liquefied primeval force could be seen.

The three demon cores had an immense amount of vitality essence, nearly doubling Chen Fan’s primeval qi compared to before.

Chen Fan could take on Yuanfu realm experts with his Qi Grandmaster cultivation for two reasons: his strong physique and incredible primeval qi reserve that far surpassed the reserves of ordinary martial artists.

Primeval force and primeval qi operated on distinct levels, where a mere wisp of primeval force could triumph over a substantial mass of primeval qi.

Logically speaking, a Qi Grandmaster could never defeat a Yuanfu realm expert.

However, Chen Fan just had too much primeval qi; it was unreal.

His primeval qi had also mutated, acquiring lightning characteristics, rendering it more potent than that of his peers.

He could rely on all these factors to defeat Yuanfu realm experts, a feat unimaginable for anyone else in his position. Reead latest 𝒏ov𝒆ls at n𝒐v/el/bi𝒏(.)com

As the days passed, Xuanyang City returned to a peaceful state.

Although Chen Fan, Chen Zhengqing, and Chen Tianxiong were in closed-door cultivation, Chen Clan’s day-to-day operations weren’t affected.

After about two days of chaos due to the change in leadership, the Tan and Liu clans’ businesses also began operating orderly.

Meanwhile, the other martial clans in the city waited with bated breaths. After all, no one knew what the Chen Clan had in store next.

However, as several days elapsed, the Chen Clan appeared to have settled into a calm state. No news came from them, just like the old days.

They feared that the Chen Clan would wipe out their clans and annex them next, making Xuanyang City theirs. However, it seemed the Chen Clan didn’t have such plans, bringing relief to those closely associated with the two fallen clans.

In the blink of an eye, half a month went by.

Chen Fan had stayed in secluded cultivation for half a month.

He had spent the time converting his flooding primeval qi into primeval force, causing a faint luster to emanate from his skin, akin to a flowing water curtain.

Chen Fan peered into his dantian. The flood of primeval qi had all liquefied after constant condensation and compression, progressing his cultivation further.

The conversion of primeval qi to primeval force had given him a qualitative leap in strength, with the latter possessing a fierceness absent in the former.

If primeval qi was like a tree branch in a martial artist’s hand, then primeval force equated to a finely forged sword treasure. The distinction in strength between the two was readily apparent.

Pish!

Suddenly, Chen Fan’s eyes shone, and he pointed out with his finger.

Immediately, a beam of primeval force shot from the tip of Chen Fan’s finger, creating a meter-wide crater on the marble floor.

“Amazing!”

A hint of joy appeared in Chen Fan’s eyes.

Despite the primeval force in his dantian being less than half of his original primeval qi, its power had multiplied several times.

“The next step is to form my primeval vessel and break through to the Yuanfu realm!” Chen Fan’s eyes shone with excitement.

Ordinary peak-stage Qi Grandmasters would need a lot of time to form their primeval vessel even after all their primeval qi had liquefied into primeval force.

For instance, Chen Fan’s grandfather, Chen Tianxiong, had spent years as a peak-stage Qi Grandmaster without forming his primeval vessel, highlighting the difficulty of progressing from being a Qi Grandmaster to a Yuanfu realm expert.

For most, insufficient accumulation of primeval force made all attempts to form a primeval vessel futile. However, this wasn’t an obstacle for Chen Fan.

The primeval force in his dantian was several times that of other peak-stage Qi Grandmasters. He could try to advance to the Yuanfu realm anytime.

He, however, chose to delay the process, opting first to deepen his accumulation further.

“Hmm?”

Chen Fan suddenly frowned. With a thought, a huge “cocoon” appeared before him. It was the transformed state of Xiaobai.

The cocoon was flickering rapidly, flashing about ten times in a breath. It flickered very quickly and very intensely.

Chen Fan sensed the vitality and the aura inside the cocoon, which were very powerful.

He stared intently at the cocoon, his eyes shining. He mumbled, “Could it be that Xiaobai is about to awaken?”

Xiaobai had transformed into this cocoon state, and Chen Fan had learned that he could recover faster by absorbing demon beasts’ blood. So, Chen Fan hunted many demon beasts to hasten Xiaobai’s recovery. He had brought Xiaobai along even when he had entered the Dragon Mountain Blessed Land.

Chen Fan didn’t even know how much essence Xiaobai had absorbed from the fresh blood of demon beasts.

If Xiaobai were to break out of his cocoon and awaken, Chen Fan didn’t know what level he would be at.

However, if he had to guess, he believed Xiaobai would be a tier-one, ninth-level beast comparable to a human Qi Grandmaster.

Hum…

A humming resonance accompanied the intensifying flickering, drawing in the primeval qi of heaven and earth, forcefully channeling it into the cocoon.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Simultaneously, Chen Fan heard a vigorous, rhythmic heartbeat from within the cocoon, resembling the beats of a powerful drum.

Chen Fan didn’t make any rash movements and just watched the cocoon. He was now certain Xiaobai was about to awaken; he felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

Xiaobai had suffered severe injuries at the hands of Sun Wenshan because of Chen Fan, leading to his transformation into a cocoon state for recovery.

Chen Fan regarded Xiaobai not as a mere demon beast but as a friend and companion.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Subtle cracking noises, akin to distant thunder, reached Chen Fan’s ears. Focused on the cocoon, he observed as hairline fissures appeared.

Crack!

The entire cocoon abruptly shattered like an eggshell, revealing Xiaobai.

Chen Fan noticed a faint golden luster on Xiaobai’s fur, lending him a mystical appearance, though it swiftly dissipated.

“Kiki.”

Xiaobai saw Chen Fan and cried cheerfully. He had also missed Chen Fan.

“Xiaobai.”

Chen Fan grinned and lifted Xiaobai into his arms, rubbing his head vigorously. “You’ve finally awakened.”
