Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1012 - Central Continent Shaken

Seeing Chen Fan accept, Zhuge Qingfeng’s gaze towards him became much gentler.

At the side, the empress smiled warmly. Looking at Chen Fan, her eyes held a motherly tenderness. She said, “Child, shouldn’t you change how you address us now?”

“Chen Fan greets Godfather and Godmother.” Chen Fan knelt and bowed to Zhuge Qingfeng and the empress. Immediately, the people in the chamber palace smiled, looking joyous and harmonious. It was an extremely warm sight.

“Junior Brother, I’ll call you little brother from now on.” Zhuge Mingyue giggled.

“Sister Mingyue.” Chen Fan called out awkwardly.

Suddenly, Zhuge Qingfeng’s voice rang in Chen Fan’s ears, making his expression flicker. Looking at Zhuge Qingfeng’s anticipative gaze, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

“Xiaofan, I want to make you the crown prince of the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation. What do you think?”

Zhuge Qingfeng knew that his sons lacked the strength to rule. Even if they inherited the throne, they couldn’t suppress the ambitious princes lurking in the shadows.

Without tremendous strength, they would not be able to deter the princes.

“Please don’t, Godfather. My ambition doesn’t lie here.”

Chen Fan understood why Zhuge Qingfeng wanted to pass down the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation to him. Given his talent, he could deter the princes and rule the ancient nation in the future. But this wasn’t the path he wanted to walk.

Zhuge Qingfeng nodded slightly, betraying no emotion. He simply let the matter drop, as if the conversation had never happened.

Only the two of them were aware of this conversation.

This matter quickly spread out.

When the people of the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation learned that their sovereign had taken Chen Fan as his godson, the entire nation was thrown into an uproar. Discussions flared up everywhere.

No one expected Sovereign Zhuge Qingfeng to take in a godson.

However, when they recalled that Chen Fan was from the Peerless Peak and possessed unparalleled talent—especially after uncovering details of his feats on the eastern continent—the sovereign’s decision no longer seemed surprising to the masses. freёnovelkiss.com

Meanwhile, Chen Fan paid no attention to the public’s reaction.

Only one thought consumed his mind: on the eighth of the tenth month, he would step onto the Phoenix Stage, cut down Beishan Hong, and bring his senior sister, Qin Yao, back.

He had spent some time learning information regarding Beishan Hong.

Beishan Hong’s background was indeed formidable. He was the son of the Sun Moon Divine Sect’s sect master.

Born into such a prestigious lineage, he was born with peerless talent, surpassing even a peerless genius like Zhuge Yan. He was, without a doubt, a monstrous prodigy.

His cultivation was equally terrifying. He had already reached the ninth-level Manifestation realm, making him one of the strongest figures of his generation.

As discussions about Qin Yao and Beishan Hong’s marriage spread across the central continent, another shocking piece of news erupted like a storm.

A man named Chen Fan had declared that he would go to the Phoenix Stage on the day of the marriage and cut down Beishan Hong to stop the ceremony.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately created a stir in the entire central continent. Countless people debated and speculated, their excitement reaching a fever pitch.

“What? Someone wants to challenge Beishan Hong!”

“How is that even possible?”

“Who is this Chen Fan? Why have I never heard of him before?”

“Challenging Beishan Hong, isn’t that just courting death?”

“Maybe someone is pulling a prank. He is a complete unknown. In my opinion, he’s just a clown trying to stir up a spectacle, hoping to gain fame. But to set his sights on Beishan Hong? He’s simply courting death.”

“That’s right. It’s equivalent to offending two overlord class forces at once. Even if he hid to the ends of the world, they’d overturn the heavens and earth to find him.”

The news sent shockwaves through the continent, leaving many stunned and speechless.

Someone was actually trying to use the marriage alliance between two overlord class forces to make a name for themselves, declaring that they would stop the marriage of the century. Wasn’t that hilarious?

Many dismissed it outright, believing it to be nothing more than a farce. Some assumed the so-called challenger would never even show up on the appointed day.

No matter what, as soon as this news came out, it immediately created a stir in the entire central continent.

“Who exactly is this Chen Fan?”

“A nobody like him wants to challenge the Sun Moon Divine Sect’s pride, Beishan Hong? He must have a death wish.”

“Perhaps it’s just a gimmick. Some fool trying to amuse himself?”

However, just as the people were discussing it and Chen Fan’s name was becoming familiar to them, another piece of news came out from the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

This time, it came from the Sun Moon Divine Sect itself.

"On the eighth of the tenth month, I’ll wait for you on the Phoenix Stage to meet your end." —Beishan Hong.

When Beishan Hong accepted the challenge, a huge earthquake swept through the entire central continent, making the people dizzy.

The masses had expected Beishan Hong to ignore such a blatant attention-seeking stunt. But to everyone’s shock, Beishan Hong accepted the challenge.

With this, curiosity about Chen Fan surged to an all-time high. People across the central continent scrambled to uncover his background.

“Chen Fan, the eighth disciple of the True Martial Academy’s Peerless Peak. During the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation’s civil strife, he skipped two levels to kill Zhuge Yan overwhelmingly just before the huge battle. Recently, Sovereign Zhuge Qingfeng took him in as a godson, and he is in the sixth-level Manifestation realm.”

“He is a peerless monster of the True Martial Academy’s Peerless Peak. During the Little Demon Realm trial, he annihilated over a hundred geniuses and prides of heaven alone. At the True Martial Assembly, he took the championship of the Heavenly Star realm group and received the Grade-9 treasure, Brilliant Blade, and even received law cleansing from the academy master personally...”

“Chen Fan...”

As more of his past achievements surfaced, the people of the central continent were shaken to the core.

Only now did they realize—Chen Fan was no nameless figure. Every deed of his had been an earth-shattering event.

“The Peerless Peak, my god, I didn’t expect the True Martial Academy’s Peerless Peak to be so terrifying. Their peak master Zhang Daoling is actually a Void Immortal behemoth.”

“I heard that in the battle at the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation’s imperial palace, experts like the Warring Nation’s Prince Dawu and the Heavenly Goldenrain Nation’s female general Qingluan were forced to retreat at the mere mention of Peerless Peak.”

“Only peerless monsters can join the True Martial Academy’s Peerless Peak. Even if you are one, it’s not guaranteed—you must prove yourself. Its members are all dragons amongst men, their future unlimited. Fighting those above their level is as easy as eating or drinking to them.”

“That’s right, Zhuge Yan was also a peerless pride of heaven, yet Chen Fan skipped two ranks and killed him. Just how terrifying is this guy? Peerless indeed.”

“I thought this whole thing was just a joke, but now... it looks like we’re in for a real good show on the eighth of the tenth month.”

“......”

One earth-shattering event after another sent shockwaves through the central continent, leaving people reeling as if they were caught in a never-ending storm.

Although the matters of the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation only caused a huge commotion within the ancient nation, news had inevitably leaked out.

After all, it involved a superpower. Not to mention, the Sun Moon Divine Sect had suffered heavy losses, this was an earth-shaking huge matter.

However, this was not the end of this matter. The Ji Clan and the Sun Moon Divine Sect announced their marriage alliance to the world, causing the central continent to go abuzz.

Just as the people were talking about this grand wedding of the century, news of Chen Fan challenging Beishan Hong spread, and in the end, Beishan Hong even accepted the challenge.

Shock upon shock crashed like unrelenting waves, shaking the continent to its core.
