Chapter 1420 - Ancient Emperor’s Tomb
Chen Fan sat on top of a mountain peak, his eyes flickering as the cold wind blew against him.
Things were tougher now than when he first stepped into the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm. Fewer enemies, sure, but each one was a monster to deal with.
“Haaa, it’d be great if I could break through to the peak Void Immortal level. Then even eighth or ninth-stage half-immortals wouldn’t be a problem for me.”
Chen Fan clenched his fist. His cultivation was rising quickly, but it couldn’t beat the speed at which the levels of his opponents were increasing.
Although his cultivation had been rising steadily, the speed at which it was rising could not keep up with the rising level of enemies he had to face.
From early-stage to late-stage peak Void Immortal in just a year. Impressive, yes, but breakneck speed left scars. Hidden damages were tucked away in him like cracks in fine porcelain, waiting to split wide open if he forced another breakthrough.
And the Heaven and Earth Furnace? Not enough. One refining cycle wouldn’t fix it. What he really needed was time. Time to let his foundation settle. Unfortunately, time was the one luxury his situation refused to give him.
So here he stood at a crossroad: push through now and risk his core shattering, or hold back and face the wolves at his door.
Chen Fan’s eyes flickered wildly as he struggled with his dilemma inside. After a moment of deliberation, his gaze became firm with resolve. He had decided not to force a breakthrough.
“A skyscraper needs a stable foundation. No reckless breakthroughs. If I have to wade through blades and flames, so be it. I don’t believe those eighth or ninth-stage half-immortals can kill me!”
Although he was no match for an eighth or ninth-stage half-immortals for now, they also couldn’t kill him, unless they joined forces to surround him, which was unlikely.
That meant his life wasn’t hanging by a thread. No need to gamble his future on a hasty breakthrough.
