Chapter 495: Final Warning

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

"Damn it! Damn it all! This Fang Xingjian is really audacious!"

"The design, invention, experiment, and production of the Zero troop took over ten billion dollars. To think that they are destroyed just like that... Someone must take the responsibility for this!"

"Old Tang is no longer suitable to continue his work in the Planetary Defense. Send him to the court-martial."

"The problem now isn't about who will be held responsible for this, but how on earth did Fang Xingjian defeat the Zero troop? You've all seen the recordings of the scene, but we don't even know what means he used."

In the Federation's meeting room, a bunch of people were breaking out in commotion. It was not that they had not expected Fang Xingjian to be capable of standing up against the Zero troop. After all, he was an expert who had been able to push back Li Shuanghua's clone.

However, what they had not expected was that Fang Xingjian could actually defeat them so easily.

At the head of the table, a middle-aged, white-skinned, bald man, whose face was filled with scars, said, "There are so many people here, but no one is able to see what means Fang Xingjian used?"

This man was the Commanding General of the Planetary Defense of the Earth's Federation. His nickname was the Flame Demon.

Hearing what the Flame Demon said, everyone fell silent. Most of the people wore a hint of guilt on their faces, yet they could not rebuke him.

The Flame Demon knocked on the table and said, "The Fang Clan sent a letter saying that it's from Fang Xingjian. Take a look at it."

He tossed a letter onto the table, and a military officer picked it up unconsciously. The military officer tore open the letter and was about to read it. However, a gush of sword intent came surging toward them at the next moment, pressing everyone in the meeting room down onto the floor. They were not even able to lift their head.

The Flame Demon's strong and bulky body smashed into the ground with a loud boom. He was also the only one present who could manage to just barely lift up his head. Clenching his teeth tightly, he glared and seethed, "This damned Fang Xingjian..."

However, Fang Xingjian's current sword intent was even more terrifying than the one he had back in the Great Western Region. After the Flame Demon just said that line, his entire head was then smashed into the ground with a boom . From then onward, the Flame Demon was no longer able to move another inch.

Simultaneously, a voice entered everyone's hearts. It was the message Fang Xingjian had left behind in the letter.

"Before 12 tonight, if you don't hand Li Shuanghua over to me or tell me where she is, I'll flatten the Federation personally."

Killing aura surged in the room, accompanied with Fang Xingjian's message. A few military officers were unable to withstand the agitation from the killing aura, and they fainted on the spot.

After a very long period of time, the sword intent finally dissipated, and the entire room turned into a state of chaos.

"Doctor! Get a doctor over here immediately!"

"All the people who fainted must be carried out immediately."

"Make way! Make way! Don't block up the exit!"

The Flame Demon smashed his fist onto the table in fury, rendering the round table in the meeting room into dust. Behind him, an adjutant asked, "Sir, what should we do? If we don't draw a clear line from Li Shuanghua and tell Fang Xingjian her location, then Fang Xingjian will probably be bathing the headquarters here in blood tonight."

Another adjutant said, "Sir, we mustn't stay where the danger is. Regardless of our decision, it's better for us to move to another location quickly. This place is too close to Fang Xingjian. It's too dangerous."

"Damn it!" Hearing the two adujants' suggestions, the Flame Demon was even more infuriated. As the Commanding General of the Planetary Defense of the Earth's Federation, when had he even been so cowardly before?

"This Fang Xingjian is utterly lawless! A person like him who holds no regard for the society's regulations really is opposing the society as well as mankind! We must have him destroyed!

"Despot and Thunder Monarch still haven't sent their replies?"

"Lord Thunder Monarch has already been in the research room for over 30 days, and there's still no reply from him. Despot said that he enjoys seeing internal strife within the Fang Clan the most. He'll come over if he's asked to come to kill Li Shuanghua."

None of the five Divine level experts on Earth were coming forth to help the Flame Demon suppress Fang Xingjian. This was the Flame Demon's greatest worry at the moment.

However, just then, a young man, who had a 70% to 80% similarity to the Flame Demon but was much younger and had more youthful vigor, walked in. When the young man saw the infuriated Flame Demon and the chaotic meeting room, he smiled and asked, "Hi Elder Brother. It seems that you have encountered some trouble?"

Upon the young man's arrival, the Flame Demon broke into a surprised expression, "Shan Kong, why have you come back? Weren't you training in the Tower of Time?"

Shan Kong was previously part of the elite special forces of the Planetary Defense, and he was also the Flame Demon's younger brother.

Five years ago, he had been found to have aptitude for black magic and had joined the Gold Robed Mages. He had been spending a long period of time cultivating the gold-type black magic at the Tower of Time in Miracle World.

Although the Gold Robed, Silver Robed and Black Robed factions were low in number, they had always been seen as having the three strongest types of black magic for frontal battles.

Unlike the Gray Robed Mages, who performed summonings from alternate worlds to change their physical bodies, or the Green Robed Mages, who used an imitation and unification process, the Gold Robed Mages' black magic excelled in the domain of time.

The Flame Demon had always held high hopes for his younger brother. Back when Shan Kong was with the Planetary Defense, he had already been a level 29 magic prints Warrior, a powerful cultivator, and a sharp blade of the core troop. Shan Kong was a genius amongst geniuses.

During the past five years, he had been cultivating black magic in Miracle World, and his cultivation had become increasingly unfathomable. There were even many people in the Federation who felt that Shan Kong was one of the geniuses who could become the Earth's sixth Divine level expert.

"Li Shuanghua sent me news saying that you've encountered trouble."

After hearing about the situation from the Flame Demon, Shan Kong laughed out loud and said, "He's just a Demigod who has reached one tier of perfection! However, he's quite capable to be able to push back Li Shuanghua's clone. He is at most probably just at the strength of a Demigod who has two tiers of perfection."

The Flame Demon said, "That Fang Xingjian's sword arts mastery isn't to be underestimated. Shan Kong, don't be too careless."

"Brother, you've stayed on Earth for too long. Don't think that it's such a big deal for him to have destroyed so many level 29 magic prints Warriors. The level 29 magic prints Warriors on Earth are all a result of mass production. They're so much weaker compared to the level 29 Knights from Miracle World."

Shan Kong smiled, shook his head, and said, "The gap between Knights and ordinary magic prints Warriors is also the same between black magic mages and Knights. As long as they aren't people who have attained the Divine level, it doesn't matter how many people of Fang Xingjian's calibre are here. I'll kill them all."

The Flame Demon looked at the expressions of the surrounding people and said, "Shan Kong, don't underestimate Fang Xingjian too much." In his heart, the Flame Demon actually felt that his younger brother was far too arrogant and was afraid that he might offend others.

However, after having stayed in Miracle World for five years, Shan Kong was long used to the concept that Mages were of a higher status above others. Moreover, he was also a Gold Robed Mage who was quite rare in amongst the 12 factions of Mages.

Shan Kong continued, "Don't worry, Elder Brother. I will be challenging even Li Shuanghua some time later, so Fang Xingjian is of no significance at all. I want to see how far away I am from becoming a Divine level expert."

The Flame Demon shook his head helplessly, but he could only choose to trust in his younger brother. So, he started giving orders in the command post and waited for Fang Xingjian's arrival.

When it was close to 11, the Flame Demon eventually could not hold it in any longer and asked, "Shan Kong, how confident are you? Do you want me to prepare the intercontinental ballistic missile?"

Shan Kong shook his head helplessly, feeling that his elder brother was kicking up too much of a fuss. "Why is there a need for the intercontinental ballistic missile? Moreover, aren't you aware of the consequences if the intercontinental ballistic missile is used in a place like Demonic City?"

Seeing that his elder brother still wore a grim expression, Shan Kong could not help but sigh and say, "Brother, I've already learned the level 9 black magic, Gracefulness of Time. No matter how amazing Fang Xingjian is, he won't be able to defeat me."

"Gracefulness of Time? It's a level 9 black magic, so it must be very amazing?"

"Of course." Shan Kong had on a proud look. "All attacks can't surpass the speed of 30 meters per second as long as they are within a range of 50 meters around me. Not even gods will be able surpass this speed."

Chapter 496: Rising Into The Air

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

"Xingjian, there's still no news from the Federation."

Fang Yuehe looked at Fang Xingjian's back and had a vague feeling as if a longsword was suddenly pressing against his body. Even his entire face felt a slight piercing pain.

Hearing Fang Yuehe's words, the killing intent in Fang Xingjian's eyes grew increasingly stronger.

Based on what Fang Qian had previously said, in another one to two days Li Shuanghua and the others would get started on refining the Divine Weapon. However, the Federation had been stalling for time.

After one day and one night, having fought three times, the Federation had yet to completely admit the situation. They even felt as if they had been lucky for pulling through the encounters, and viewed themselves with an air of superiority of being the number one influence on Earth. This made Fang Xingjian's killing intent grow increasingly stronger.

"I gave you a way out, but you're pushing the limits."

The next instant, as Fang Xingjian activated the sword of Infiltrating Void, he had completely disappeared.

Fang Xingjian had found out the location of the Planetary Defense's headquarters in Demonic City long ago. This time around, he did not plan on holding back anymore, bent on leaving a massacre behind him. This was so that the Federation's upper echelon would not think that they could continue to stall for time and that they were still able to stand up for Li Shuanghua.

Standing in midair, Fang Xingjian looked at the headquarters, which took up several hundred thousands of square meters. The entire Planetary Defense's headquarters seemed to be as big as a University campus. Countless people were patrolling about, and various weaponry and machinery were all being prepared. Fang Xingjian could even see five to six fighter aircrafts occasionally flying through the air.

'I'm still too naive. I thought that my performance this far, having fought three consecutive times, was sufficient to astonish the Federation.

'I guess I haven't been vicious enough and this led them to think that they could maintain a neutral stand or even to subdue me.

'This time around, I must make sure that blood will flow.'

Fang Xingjian wanted to let the entire Federation know that if they did not give up on Li Shuanghua immediately, the entire Federation, the entire Earth would be faced with an unbearable and tremendous loss.

And him, Fang Xingjian, was worth a lot more than Li Shuanghua.

With a dash, Fang Xingjian, from within spatial gaps, entered over 100 meters underground. Countless sword forces that could cut down mountains and slash through rocks exploded underground, slicing through.

In a mere few minutes, Fang Xingjian had used his sword force to forcibly cut through the ground around the headquarters and to loosen up the soil, forming an oval shape. He had weakened the connection between the headquarters and the ground, and had even completely destroyed their underground defenses.

In the command post, sensing the endless tremors under his feet, the Flame Demon stood up, "What's wrong? Is there an earthquake?"

However, thinking about it, he felt that it did not make any sense. This area in Demonic City was not on the seismic belt. How could there possibly be an earthquake?

However, the tremors under his feet grew increasingly intense and even buildings were starting to sink down slightly. Everyone started to feel that something was amiss.

The Flame Demon bellowed, "Send someone to investigate what on earth is going on!"

Almost everyone in the headquarters was mobilized as they tried to find out the reason for the tremors. However, they could not find any reason. All they knew was that the ground under their headquarters continued to tremor ceaselessly. There were even infrastructures sinking, and large areas of cracks were appearing in the ground.

All the buildings that were a street away were totally unscathed.

Hearing his subordinates' reports, sensing the endless tremors coming from under his feet, the Flame Demon frowned deeply. He looked at his younger brother worriedly and asked, "Shan Kong, do you think that Fang Xingjian's the one creating trouble underground?"

"Fang Xingjian?" Shan Kong seemed totally unconcerned. "Is he trying to dig underground and bring down our buildings?

"If he can even bring himself to do something so despicable, then I've really overestimated him."

The Flame Demon sighed and said, "If it's really him, we can't let him continue like this. We must stop him."

Just as the two of them were talking, they suddenly felt that their bodies had become lighter as they suddenly started floating upward.

"This is...?"

"There's no more gravity?"

The two of them were both level 29 magic prints Warriors and Shan Kong cultivated black magic as well. They were both extremely powerful and had very fine control over their bodies. In this moment, as they felt their bodies becoming lighter, they could sense that it was because gravity was no longer acting on their bodies.

But this was not happening only to them. All the things in the room were starting to float as well.

Outside the room, all the buildings were faintly swaying, as if they were going to float into the sky. Everyone else also slowly started to leave the ground, looking at this scene in astonishment.

Terra Ingurgitation had been activated.

The activation of the level 8 Terra Ingurgitation caused all the gravitational force within a range of eight kilometers to completely disappear. Everyone looked in a daze as their bodies started to float. They were all extremely astonished.

There was someone who was on the computer, and had floated up together with the computer...

There was someone who was taking a bath, and had floated into the air together with the water droplets...

There was a couple engaging in sex, and they screamed in shock as they began to float...

As a big city in Xin Country, the population in Demonic City was extremely high. The activation of the Terra Ingurgitation this time around immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Fang Xingjian had gone deep underground, under countless high-rise buildings. The gravitational force gathered by the Terra Ingurgitation this time around was like never before.

This terrifying power was now being guided by Fang Xingjian's Swordless Path to the surface of the ground, several hundreds of meters above his head.

50 meters underground, a clean finger suddenly appeared with a flash in void space. Then, endless terrifying power exploded from the fingertip in an instant.

Guiding this astronomical power that could crush any human creations on Earth, the white finger was like a embroidery needle, carefully and gently tapping on the stratum above him.

The sword arts cultivation which Fang Xingjian demonstrated at this moment had almost reached an extreme level of the state of lifting something heavy as if it was light. The astronomical power was gathered onto a single finger, and skillfully unleashed like an embroidery needle.

The power started to spread out from a single point throughout the stratum, heading upward like layers upon layers of continuous drizzling rain drops.

It was precisely like a water ripple, extending outward from a single dot.

Wherever the power of Terra Ingurgitation passed by, the ground would be crushed into powder from the tremors. When the power reached 50 meters from the earth's surface, the violent explosive force became a compelling force. It pushed up the entire area of land that the headquarters took up, which was several hundreds of thousands of square meters, into the air.

With a loud rumble, under the astonished and terrified gazes of countless people in Demonic City, an area of land that was several hundred thousands of square meters, the size of a University campus, soared up into the air. It paused in midair for an instant, and then flew up into the sky at rapid speed.

On the plot of land, Shan Kong was the first one to react. He let out a cry in surprise and terror, and was about to dart out of the plot of land. However, he had only taken one step forward when the pressure coming down at extreme speed onto the plot of land from the sky turned into many invisible big hands and came pressing down on him.

From the front, back, left and right, all the air within a 50-meter range turned into astonishing tornados as the plot of land continued to accelerate and accelerate. The tornados then headed for Shan Kong.

The moment they came to a 50-meter range from Shan Kong, the speed of the tornados started slowing down more and more. However, the power of the impact was not weakened at all. They were like waves of tsunamis, slowly and firmly crushing toward Shan Kong.

Chapter 497: Outer Space

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

At this moment, even with a high level magic like the Gracefulness of Time, when faced with such pressure coming from all directions, there was nothing Shan Kong could do.

Bellowing furiously, gold light burst out from Shan Kong's body and countless gold prints encompassed his body, propelling it into a crazy dash.

However, as the plot of land continued to accelerate, charging into the air, the pressure coming down from the sky got increasingly stronger. This caused Shan Kong's speed slow down significantly. Each step he took felt as if he was moving several tens of thousands of meters deep in the seas.

Ahhhh!!

Roaaarrrrr!

Shan Kong's strength gathered from his entire body once again swelled up and he suddenly expanded to become over twice as big as before. Many blood vessels in his body had burst.

Around him, more and more buildings and people were being pressed into meat pies. Under the friction produced from the high speed, flames started to show, burning everything into ashes.

The Flame Demon watched everything within his sight being smashed into meat pies and then burned into ashes.

His eyes were filled with desperation and regret, 'Fang Xingjian... You're really vicious!'

With a loud boom , the Flame Demon was completely blasted into countless pieces by the wind pressure and from the high temperature.

Shan Kong also finally managed to reach the borders of the plot of land in the final explosion. By this time, the piece of land had already reached the stratosphere. He looked down and there were nothing but white fluffy clouds under him.

The moment he was about to take a step forward and leap off the land, the wind pressure was increased to the near highest limits. With a bang , Shan Kong fell onto the ground. It was as if a palm had smashed down on a toad, he was unable to move at all.

From then on, no matter how much he struggled, no matter how much force he exerted, he could only watch as he got closer and closer to outer space.

In the end, as he got closer and closer to outer space, the air got increasingly thinner. The flames gradually disappeared and the wind pressure became increasingly lower. The temperature continued to lower incessantly and frost kept forming in the surroundings.

When Shan Kong slowly stood up with a battered body, he was slowly floating and his nose could no longer take in any air. He looked at the black space around him and his eyes were in a daze.

The entire plot of land had entered outer space. Without the obstruction from the atmosphere, it no longer decelerated, but was instead continuing to accelerate as it flew out further and further into space.

Shan Kong turned his head and looked at the small blue planet that continued to shrink in size before him. His eyes were filled with desperation.

Right now, he was the only one left alive on that piece of land.

His vitality was also slowly dissipating as the temperature continued to lower and the air continued to grow thinner.

However, till now, he had not even managed to catch a glimpse of Fang Xingjian.

"Fang Xingjian..." With a bang , Shan Kong dropped to his knees. "What an amazing Fang Xingjian..."

Suddenly, as the land continued to fly, he looked in the direction of the moon and saw that behind it, there was a huge 'Left' word that had been carved on half the moon.

"What the heck is that?!"

On Earth, the scene of the plot of land soaring into the sky of Demonic City had spread out through the entire world.

The net was filled with clips of the horrifying scene people in Demonic City had taken with their cell phones and cameras.

On weibo 1 , on blogs, on various popular website portals... Everywhere, it was only discussions relating to this horrifying scene.

"On February 2037, 12.14 a.m., in the northwest district of Demonic City, a plot of land exceeding 250,000 square meters rose up into the air and broke through the atmosphere..."

"Based on the observations by the specialists from the Space Academy, after the plot of land broke through the atmosphere, it attained a breakthrough of the third cosmic velocity and will eventually fly out of the solar system about 50 years later..."

"Currently, there have been no organizations or individuals who are taking up responsibility for this event..."

"The local residents have said that after the piece of land flew up, they witnessed a man floating in midair for over five minutes..."

"The Dow Jones Industrial Average 2 took a sharp dive by 500 points this morning. We'll now invite specialists to discuss how this event would impact the world's economy."

The entire world seemed to have been stirred up by Fang Xingjian's sword attack.

However, the members of the world's top organization, the Earth's Federation, seemed to be completely silent.

They were not the only ones who were silent. All the clans who knew that this sword attack came from Fang Xingjian had all fallen silent.

North of Xin Country, Hua Clan.

Although not part of the Five Great Clans, Hua Clan was one of the Xin Country's most powerful influences. They were entrenched in the northeastern area of Xin Country, and enjoyed a monopoly over many businesses.

Right now, Hua Clan's Old Master was staring at the tablet in his hands. Standing before him, a middle-aged man said, "Father, this Fang Xingjian is too disrespectful toward us. Why did he have to cripple Meimei when he wants to find trouble for Li Shuanghua? Meimei is your granddaughter!

"We must let Fang Xingjian pay the price for this!"

The middle-aged man was clearly talking about how Fang Xingjian had crippled Hua Meimei.

This matter had enraged the entire Hua Clan. Especially after finding out that both the Federation and Li Shuanghua both wanted to deal with Fang Xingjian, all of them now wanted to be a part of it.

As the middle-aged man spoke, the other members of Hua Clan all appeared to be fired up with indignation.

However, before the middle-aged man said anything, Hua Clan's Old Master lifted his head and asked, "Which one of you can send a piece of land that has an area of 250,000 square meters flying into outer space?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Father, what joke is that? Even a Divine level expert might not be able to do something like that..."

The next instant, the Old Master projected the clip from the internet with the scene of the plot of land being sent flying into space onto a larger screen.

Looking at this scene, the Hua Clan's meeting room remained silent for very long.

Hua Clan's Old Master eventually let out a sigh and said, "Just take it as if I don't have this granddaughter."

Concurrently, to the east of Demonic City, a black man with a height of over five meters who looked like a chimpanzee was soaking in a man-made hot spring. Around him, there were numerous beautiful ladies dressed in see-through clothing serving him. They poured water for him, massaged him, and cut fruits for him.

This person was the head of the Onassis Clan, one of the Five Great Clans, and also one of the Earth's five Divine level experts. He was an extremely violent person with the nickname 'Despot'.

Right now, part of the Earth's Five Great Clans were respectively the Fang Clan, the black Onassis, as well as the white-skinned Medici Clan, with a long history, and which Jessica belonged to.

As for the remaining two, one of them was the Ford Clan, who exerted control over the latest powerful technology. The other one was the Tiandao Clan, which was the most mysterious clan. No one knew what race they belonged to, and they were also the clan with the strongest Divine level expert.

Before Despot, an old black-skinned steward with a head of white hair said, "... This is the general gist of it. Clan head, should we consider handing Caroline over to him? After all, it's unwise to offend an expert like this. We can totally join forces with him to deal with Li Shuanghua. She is the true enemy of our clan."

Despot, who looked like a huge chimpanzee, said, "Hand her over? What kind of joke is that? You want me to bow down to Fang Clan?"

The old black-skinned man had yet to react when a palm the size of a door came slamming down from the sky, slapping him into a lump of paste.

"Tell Caroline that with me around, she can continue to stay in Demonic City. If that Fang Xingjian dares to lay a hand on her, I'll tear his body into pieces."

Chapter 498: Search

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

That night, the female military officer, who had once gone looking for Fang Xingjian and given him a warning, knelt down before the building's entrance, seeking Fang Xingjian's forgiveness.

All the survivors of the Planetary Defense who were related to this event had all been arrested on the charge of antisocial behavior, and they were now waiting to be trialed by the court-martial.

Concurrently, a tremendous amount of Li Shuanghua's information, which the Federation had, was sent over and handed to Fang Xingjian.

The entire Federation seemed to have been completely subdued by Fang Xingjian's martial power.

At the center of the Pacific Ocean, above a small island which had not been recorded on maps, Fang Xingjian stood on void space. He constantly sensed the hints of light waves with his Heaven's Perception as he monitored the situation on the small island.

He had left Demonic City, the only domain which had an overlap with Miracle World. Thus, there were almost no ether particles at all here. However, for a Demigod like Fang Xingjian, the energy in his body was already sufficient to allow him to do many things.

Li Shuanghua had secretly set up a tremendous number of laboratories all over the planet,most of which even Fang Yuehe was unaware of. The only reason why the upper echelon of the Earth's Federation had a lot of information about many of the laboratories was because Li Shuanghua had utilized a lot of their resources and a large number of their specialists .

Right now, under Fang Xingjian's feet was one of the biggest laboratories Li Shuanghua possessed. It was also the one with the highest possibility of being the laboratory where the remains of Fang Xingjian's mother were stored. However, it could also be where Li Shuanghua was hiding.

Therefore, before he invaded the base, he continued to scan it carefully, gathering information.

'It seems that... she isn't here?'

Fang Xingjian's eyes squinted slightly. Then at the next moment, he had already entered between the spatial gaps and was headed toward the direction of the base.

The moment he entered, he went through the entire base. He found that most of the laboratory rooms were conducting various human experiments.

They turned men and women of unknown origins into magic prints Warriors, then they used the bodies of these magic prints Warriors to experiment on forging Divine Weapons.

Throughout the entire process, those men and women were like the lab rats. From the beginning till the end, they were grabbed and controlled by many mechanical arms, completely unable to resist.

Such brutal experiments caused even Fang Xingjian to frown.

Even in Miracle World, the various big countries would not conduct such antisocial activities in order to increase their military power. This was something that only a heretic influence like the Terrene Shrine would do.

Furthermore, when he thought of how his mother's corpse was here as well, the killing intent in Fang Xingjian's heart grew increasingly stronger.

As he walked, Fang Xingjian sent out streams of sword intent into the brains of the staff working here. Once he found his mother's corpse, he would immediately cause the streams of sword intent to explode, thereby turning all these people either brain-dead or placing them into vegetative states.

Fang Xingjian carried on walking and finally found his target in a secret room made from pure metal which was located on the lowest story of the base.

He stepped out from the void space and looked at the ice coffin before him which was over three meters in height and exuded a powerful chill. His gaze was filled with complicated emotions.

The ice coffin was very thick. However, Fang Xingjian possessed Heaven's Perception, so he could still clearly see the contents of the ice coffin very clearly.

Inside it, there was a lady who appeared to be in her 20s and seemed as if she had gathered all the spiritual Qi from the heavens and the earth. She lay in the coffin, dressed in white palace clothes, and appeared as if she were alive.

Especially her beautiful red lips, her face, her long lashes, and her fair skin... All these made her look as if she was still alive.

However, the one thing that caused Fang Xingjian's heart to palpitate the most was still her appearance.

Her eyes, nose, and mouth all had a 70% to 80% similarity to his own.

'We really do look alike...'

It was a pity that through Fang Xingjian's Heaven's Perception, he verified that the woman no longer had any heartbeat nor was she breathing.

Fang Xingjian stared at the ice coffin. His solemn expression seemed to be filled with complicated emotions as he stood there in a daze.

'This is my mother?'

Ten minutes later, a plasma sword emerged from void space with a flash of light, and a black-clothed warrior thrust a blade toward the back of Fang Xingjian's head.

This black-clothed warrior was the person in charge of the base. He was a level 29 magic prints Warrior, and he possessed the powerful ability to teleport.

Fang Xingjian had truly stayed for too long, causing this warrior to immediately notice his intrusion. He approached Fang Xingjian very carefully and then activated teleportation from outside the room, wanting to deal him a serious injury in one hit.

Till now, everything seemed to be progressing very smoothly.

The black-clothed warrior watched as the plasma longsword got increasingly closer to Fang Xingjian. Seeing how Fang Xingjian continued to show no reaction as he looked at the ice coffin in a daze, the black-clothed warrior's eyes filled with feelings of excitement.

'He's in a daze? He's really in a daze?

'This is understandable. After all, it's his mother. It's hard for one not to enter a daze when suddenly faced with such a sight.'

The black-clothed warrior thought of the stir Fang Xingjian had caused across Earth. Then when he thought of how he was going to kill such a person with just a single slash, the black-clothed warrior felt increasingly excited.

However, that was only until the next moment. The plasma longsword had already gotten close to Fang Xingjian's scalp. Then when a few strands of Fang Xingjian's hair got cut off, Fang Xingjian tapped out with a single finger.

His sword finger attacked at a later time, eerily appearing on the black-clothed warrior's forehead with a flash.

With a light and crisp sound, the black-clothed warrior's body suddenly came to a stop.

He lifted his head and looked in Fang Xingjian's direction, saying, "Great sword arts. Endless sword intent and unrivalled sword force are contained in a single sword attack that deals great destruction to your opponent body physically and mentally...

"It's true that you have the right to challenge Madam Li Shuanghua. I shouldn't have challenged you. I'm the person in charge of this base. I'm called..."

Suddenly, there was a pffft sound, and the sword ripples from Fang Xingjian's Light Pursuit slashed through the black-clothed man's throat. Fang Xingjian spoke indifferently, "You're too weak. I won't be able to remember you even if you tell me your name. It's better for your to leave quietly just like this."

A hint of non-acceptance flashed in the black-clothed man's eyes. However, it only went on for one or two seconds before he completely collapsed as both his consciousness and physical body were killed off.

Fang Xingjian looked at the ice coffin before him, and sadness filled up in his eyes. He suddenly recalled many things from his childhood. He recalled how from a young age, he had been bullied, there had been no one he could rely on, and he had to live as an orphan.

Letting out a sigh, he instructed Tyrant, "Store this into the Gates of the Netherworld."

Even though Fang Xingjian had found his mother's remains, he had yet to decide on how he was going to handle this corpse. He decided on storing it in the Gates of the Netherworld for now.

However, just as he was about to do this, another vortex suddenly appeared at the center of the coffin, instantly absorbing the entire ice coffin and the corpse in it.

"Who's there?!" Fang Xingjian glared, and overwhelming sword intent gushed out in all directions.

Tyrant said in surprise, "It's the Gates of the Netherworld. The other party also performed the Gates of the Netherworld."

At the next moment, a black-clothed man suddenly appeared at the location from where the ice coffin had disappeared. Looking at this person's silhouette, Fang Xingjian's countenance changed.

It was because this black-clothed man was the same one who had given him the purple flames back when he was still at the Fang Clan.

Fang Xingjian questioned coldly, "Who are you? Why did you snatch my mother's remains?" He kept on attempting to use Heaven's Perception to scan the other party's body, but all he could sense was pitch black darkness. He could not read anything at all.

The black-clothed man looked at Fang Xingjian and said calmly, "Come and look for me after you've become unrivalled on Earth and number one in the Empire.

"I'll be waiting for you in the City of Universal Truth."

The City of Universal Truth... That was where the headquarters of the Church of Universal Truth, which was the most powerful influence in Miracle World, were located. It was the Church of Universal Truth's sacred city, the promised city.

Fang Xingjian asked hastily, "Who on earth are you?"

"You know who I am."

The man did not say another word. Then as spatial ripples were sent out, he completely disappeared.

Simultaneously, under a glacial sheet in the Arctic, the body of the Fang Clan's third son, Fang Yueming, was floating in midair in the center of a huge ice cave. The skin and flesh throughout his body were undulating incessantly, exuding powerful green light.

Below him, Li Shuanghua wore a grim countenance as she carefully healed Fang Yueming's body.

While it was easy to heal other areas, the crucial issue was that Fang Xingjian had even dealt a serious injury to Fang Yueming's brain.

The brain had over ten billion nerve cells as well as countless other structures. Even though Li Shuanghua was a Divine level expert, she would still need to accurately repair the various electric signals and chemical reactions in order to restore the several tens of billions of cells in another person's body. This was considered as a super big operation even for her.

A Divine level expert who had transitioned from a magic prints Warrior possessed diabolic energy. Thus, they could perform various unique diabolic abilities and possessed even stronger extraordinary strength in comparison to Knights.

However, in regards to the development of the human body, they did not possess the specialty seeds which Knights had. Additionally, they had neither brain regeneration abilities nor ether organs.

As she was afraid that she would be disturbed, she had gone under the Arctic's ice sheets, and spent two days and two nights before she managed to barely pull Fang Yueming back from the gates of hell.

However, despite this, Fang Yueming only managed to keep his life for now. Li Shuanghua still needed to exert more effort before she could ensure his recovery.

Chapter 499: Joining Forces

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Just as Li Shuanghua was doing what she could to treat her son, a human figure slowly walked over from outside the ice cave.

It was a young man with silver hair. He wore white battle clothes and had a pair of black sunglasses on his head.

When the young man saw Li Shuanghua, he said, "Hehe. Old Granny Li, it seems like you have not contacted the outside world after giving your orders to the Federation 12 hours ago. You probably don't know what has happened outside, right?"

Li Shuanghua turned toward the silver-haired young man. He was from the Ford Clan, one of the Five Great Clans which specialized in technological advancements. This person had the nickname of 'Thunder Monarch'. He was one of the five Divine level experts, as well as the youngest amongst them.

Hearing what the Thunder Monarch said, Li Shuanghua replied calmly, "Could it be that... that defiant grandson of mine has done something shameful again?

"But our Fang Clan will deal with our matters on our own.

"After I've treated Minger, I'll personally suppress that vile spawn. There's no need for you to worry."

"Hehe," the Thunder Monarch snickered and said, "Right now, it'll probably require the two of us to join forces in order to suppress him."

"The two of us joining forces? What kind of joke is that?" Li Shuanghua sneered with a frown.

Li Shuanghua was a Divine level expert. The way she saw it, for her to have to personally suppress her grandson, it already seemed like she had become a laughing stock among all of the clans. If she still had to join forces with the Thunder Monarch, it would be a total humiliation.

The Thunder Monarch shook his head. "You should take a look at this first."

The Thunder Monarch took out a silver-white sphere, and at the next moment, it reflected several beams of light onto the ice walls. It played out the scenes of how Fang Xingjian had moved the earth, causing it to fly out of the atmosphere.

Moreover, this clip had been edited before, combining a majority of the scenes which had been uploaded onto the internet. Even the scenes taken by satellites were included, causing the entire picture to appear even clearer and smoother.

"This was what Fang Xingjian did 12 hours ago. The Federation has already submitted to him for now. It's said that he has just broken through your base on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, and he has obtained your daughter's corpse."

The Thunder Monarch spoke slowly, "Right now, the Earth's Federation has secretly entered a planet-wide state of being prepared for battle. After all, regardless of whether it's them or us, all of us aren't able to accept the appearance of a sudden overlord above us. What do you think?"

Li Shuanghua closed her eyes. There was no expression on her face. It was as if she was a nun who had meditated for many years.

"I never expected that vile spawn would actually be quite talented. To think that in a mere two years, he has successfully cultivated earth-shaking sword arts.

"It's a pity that despite having such power, he doesn't know that he should show his loyalty to the clan. Instead, he chose to inflict harm onto his elders and resist the Federation..."

After saying that, Li Shuanghua took in a strong breath and said, "Since his battle prowess has already reached such a level, then there's clearly a need for us to join forces. However, since we're joining forces, we must increase our chances to the maximum. What did the others say to this?"

A hint of surprise flashed across the Thunder Monarch's face. He had not expected that this old granny, whom he had thought to be old-fashioned, inflexible, solemn, and unreasonable, would agree to them joining forces so easily. He was stunned for a short moment before saying:

"No one knows which part of Miracle World Tiandao and Titan have gone to. Despot is willing to join us. However, that black devil requests that after the matter is settled, he wants half of your daughter's remains."

Li Shuanghua's eyes abruptly popped open, and there seemed to be a cold gleam flashing in them.

However, after taking a look at the dire state her son was in and then recalling Fang Xingjian's performance displayed in the clips, she swallowed her fury and said, "The price is still considered as ordinary for inviting a Divine level expert's assistance."

The Thunder Monarch smiled. "Alright, then this is settled. You should prepare first. The Federation will also have to garner up their power once again. We'll take action in one month.

"With three Divine level experts, the Federation's core troops, as well as our Ford Clan's secret weapon, we'll definitely be able to suppress him."

The Thunder Monarch's body then slowly faded away. He wondered how Fang Xingjian had been able to make such tremendous progress in just two years. It was to the extent that Fang Xingjian could even possess power which could match, or even exceed, those in the Divine level when he was just at level 29.

'It's fine. After I've caught you, I'll slowly figure you out.'

Two hours later, Li Shuanghua sent out a challenge letter to Fang Xingjian, promising a battle at the Sahara Desert one month later.

The moment this news spread, the eyes of countless people popped out in shock.

The five Divine level experts had always been thought of as being the top notch battle prowess on Earth, the dark sovereigns who ruled from behind the scenes.

Although Fang Xingjian had sent the Planetary Defense's headquarters flying with a sword attack, there were still disputes on which party was stronger—Fang Xingjian or the Divine level experts.

Right now, Li Shuanghua, a long time Divine level expert, was about to challenge Fang Xingjian. This made countless people excited, and they waited in anticipation over the result of the battle.

This was particularly because Fang Xingjian and Li Shuanghua were both from the Fang Clan, yet they had blown up the matter so much that they would not stop until one party perished. The clan's internal strife and grudges also made many people very curious.

On the highest story of the Fang Clan's building, Fang Xingjian sat cross legged and floated in midair. Tyrant stood on the spot, appearing like a ferocious beast baring its teeth and fangs at Fang Xingjian. He seemed to be incessantly accumulating his aura and power, as if he could unleash a deadly attack toward Fang Xingjian at any moment.

Then there seemed to be the vague howls of a myriad of draconic beasts in the air, And the undulating howls sounded as if there were waves of a myriad of beasts approaching.

In the entire Fang Clan's building, countless people suddenly felt helpless and alarmed. There were even faint feelings of terror sprouting ceaselessly in their hearts, as if some kind of huge beast was hiding in the darkness and would dash out at any moment to tear them up.

Compared to Tyrant's surging aura, Fang Xingjian appeared very calm, exuding no hints of aura.

However, in actuality, Fang Xingjian was now having a spar with Tyrant through their martial wills. Their sword intents and fist intents continued to clash in void space, fighting will against will, thoughts against thoughts. This caused Tyrant to break out in cold sweat continuously.

Suddenly, with a furious bellow, Tyrant retreated three steps back and said, "That's enough, that's enough. I don't want to fight anymore. Your sword intent is far too sharp. It's causing my brain tremendous pain."

Looking at Fang Xingjian's calm appearance, Tyrant suddenly said, "Do you have confidence in the coming battle? I don't think your grandmother is someone who would fight fairly."

"I already have full confidence to defeat her. However, in order to defeat the entire Federation, I'll still need stronger power."

Fang Xingjian stretch out his sword finger, and a surge of sword-shaped void figures seemed to be produced. They appeared to exude an extraordinary spiritual light in Tyrant's eyes.

Fang Xingjian continued to say, "Let's try to merge into one first. If we can succeed, it'll really be able to increase our battle prowess tremendously. After all, right now, I can only rapidly raise the progress of my sword arts. Specialty seeds, physical particles, brain regeneration, and ether organs aren't things that can be achieved within a short amount of time."

Tyrant walked over with an awkward expression and asked, "Unless there's no other way out, don't use this move."

A few minutes later, their figures merged into one. Tyrant's body seemed like layers of mercury encompassing on Fang Xingjian's body. It was as if he had become another layer of skin covering Fang Xingjian. Furthermore, Tyrant even seeped into the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor, connecting with Fang Xingjian's body directly.

Then at the next moment, the auras of over 1,440 specialty seeds surged from Fang Xingjian's body.

Chapter 500: Merger and Death

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

The merger of Tyrant and Fang Xingjian was in order to use Tyrant's unique body structure to imitate the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor and stick onto Fang Xingjian like a layer of armor.

While Tyrant did not appear any different, he had engulfed a body which was at the level of a Demigod with two tiers of perfection. After Tyrant merged with Fang Xingjian's body, Fang Xingjian could now draw out the power from the 1,440 specialty seeds.

With this merger, Fang Xingjian felt an immense amount of power was gushing forth from void space, and the vital energy and blood in his body were seething like they were part of a great surging river.

At this moment, Fang Xingjian felt as if his physical strength had suddenly increased by 10, or even 100 times. Endless amounts of energy surged forth from the many specialty seeds in his body, giving him a strong feeling of exhilaration.

With a slight step, waves of air currents seemed to form in the air, and Fang Xingjian flew out a distance of ten kilometers. With another step, sounds of thunder rang out as his body cut across the air, reappearing several thousand meters up high in the sky.

"As expected. After the two of us merged together, my physical strength rose crazily, and it's now even above that of an ordinary Demigod with two tiers of perfection.

"Now that my physical strength has increased tremendously, my battle prowess on Earth is even stronger now when paired with my sword arts cultivation.

"But... I still need to become stronger."

Thinking of his opponent this time around, negative emotions started burning up in Fang Xingjian's heart. In this battle, no matter what kind of moves his opponent made or what setup had been prepared, Fang Xingjian could not allow himself to lose.

Just then, Tyrant, who was on Fang Xingjian's skin, said, "It should be fine, right? Let's remove the merger for now."

"Hmm?" Fang Xingjian asked, "Shouldn't we get used to this a little more?"

"What's there to get used to?!" Tyrant said angrily, "Try sticking all the flesh of your body onto another man... I can't... I'm going to puke..."

"Hmm? In your current state, how are you going to puke?"

"I don't know either, but I feel that I can't take it anymore."

Up in the air, Fang Xingjian looked at the ground below him and went into deep thought. He was condensing specialty seeds constantly at all times, and he was also tempering his martial will without stopping as well.

However, in the following month, he had to bring his battle prowess up qualitatively by another notch. Ordinary methods would not make it in time.

Just then, Fang Xingjian's gaze suddenly flashed as he looked toward a street that was several tens of kilometers away.

On the street, several tens of ruffians, who were holding onto machetes, were forcing a young man into a corner.

The group's leader, a man with a beard, shouted, "Kid, do you know whose territory this street comes under? How dare you spoil things for us? If we don't take one of your arms today, we can forget about staying around here in the future."

The young man shouted furiously, "Who can ignore a group of thieves stealing things? You guys better think it through carefully. Stealing will only get you detained, but if you dare to slash me today, all of you will have to end up in jail!"

"Ohhhh, kid, you seem very arrogant."

"Slash him! Let's see if he still dares to remain so arrogant."

"Take one of his arm! He'll know what fear is after that."

In that instant, over ten people charged forth together, slashing crazily. The young man managed to block a few of them, but he was soon bathed in blood. Then at the next moment, a machete came slashing down toward his face, clearly wanting to take his life.

Confronted with this slash coming down toward him, the young man's mind instantly blanked out, and a terror he had never felt before in his life filled up his brain, causing his entire body to go numb. His muscles twitched a little, and all the blood throughout his body accelerated in circulation.

However, at the next moment, the machete shattered, and Fang Xingjian was standing before the young man.

No one present was able to see clearly how Fang Xingjian had appeared before them. These people were just those who were at the bottom of the chain, so it was impossible for them to know who Fang Xingjian was either.

The bearded man asked somewhat doubtfully, "And who would you be? You want to help this kid?"

Fang Xingjian did not look at the man but turned to look at the young man to sense the terror in his heart.

"This is the fear one feels at the moment of life and death. It might also be human's greatest fear."

Seeing Fang Xingjian behavior, the bearded man let out a cold laugh and said, "Another show-off. Brothers, kill him!"

However, an eerie sword intent passed by at the next moment, and the sounds of the machetes falling to the ground rang out incessantly. All the ruffians had turned into human vegetables and collapsed.

The bearded man let out a terrified scream as if he had just seen a ghost. Then with a bang, he dropped to his knees, struck with the realization that he had came across a powerful person. "S... S... Sir... I beg of you, please spare my life."

However, when he lifted his head, Fang Xingjian was already nowhere to be seen. The bearded man then felt a pain in his chest. He did not know when it had happened, but there was now a huge hole in his chest, and blood was gushing out from it like running water.

Sensing the terror the bearded man felt before his death, Fang Xingjian was struck with a new understanding.

'If I want to further temper my martial will, I can probably only rely on the fearr that's felt during life and death moments.'

What was the most terrifying thing in the world? Although different people might give different answers, the one answer which would appear the most would likely be 'death'.

That was a living creature's instinct, a human's instinct. Something which everyone was unwilling to face the most, yet people were left with no choice but to face it.

In the following month, Fang Xingjian tried all sorts of methods with a single goal in mind—to get close to death. He wanted to use the threat of death to push forth his potential, thereby further tempering his will and fully completing his fifth God-Slaying Sword.

So, at the beginning, he put himself in danger. He plunged down from several hundreds of thousands of meters high up in the air, smashing a large crater into the ground.

Then he went deep to the down into the sea, several tens of thousands of meters down under. In the pitch black sea, he tempered his sword arts while withstanding the terrifying water pressure.

After that, Fang Xingjian jumped into a volcano's lava, went deep underground, and watched as the stratum slowly engulfed and pressed against him.

He also soaked himself in liquid nitrogen, sensing his body's temperature lower incessantly and his heartbeat get increasingly slower.

Fang Xingjian did not inform anyone to assist him, since that would prevent him from experiencing the threat of death in the tests.

Thereafter, the various powers on Earth could no longer let him feel danger. So, he changed his method.

He strolled along the battlefield, watching as many bullets and missiles took away one life after another.

"Who are you?!" A soldier bellowed out toward Fang Xingjian, who was walking along the battlefield like a ghost. "Stop right there!"

However, the next moment, Fang Xingjian had already disappeared from before his eyes like a real ghost.

Then Fang Xingjian went to the slums and looked at the numb and desperate gazes of numerous people. He watched the many emaciated figures lay on the beds, calmly accepting death.

An old man looked dazedly at Fang Xingjian, who had suddenly appeared. Seeing how Fang Xingjian was hovering just above ground with hints of sword light wrapping around him like wings, the old man could not help but ask, "Are you an angel?"

As Fang Xingjian watched the old man smile for the last time, he disappeared in midair..

He witnessed and observed death firsthand.

During the final couple of days before the battle, the deathly aura on Fang Xingjian grew increasingly stronger. He looked like a ghost that had come from the netherworld. Fang Xingjian went to many hospitals and saw that many lives were lost everyday.

Fury, despair, terror, calm, numbness... Before death, everyone showed different emotions.

Fang Xingjian continued like that until one day before the battle. On this day, he arrived at a dilapidated hospital, found an empty bed, and lay on it.

For the past one month, he had tried out, seen, and experienced many different things. So, he now had a special understanding toward death.

However, he still seemed to be a little bit away from understanding death completely.

Fang Xingjian knew that it was time to take it one step further.

When he entered the hospital, it was as if no one was able to see him wherever he passed by. There was no one who would ask why he was lying on the bed either.

Fang Xingjian just lay there, slowly closing his eyes.

This time around, he was going to face death personally.

The moment he closed his eyes, his breath got increasingly weaker and his heartbeat got increasingly slower. Eventually, it was like his breathing had stopped completely and as if he had turned into a piece of ice cold rock.

Chapter 501: Like The Sun At The Highest Point In The Sky

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Fang Xingjian's control over his body had been increasing ever since he entered the second transition. This was particularly evident when he successively condensed specialty seeds, stimulated physical particles, and gained superb regeneration abilities. His control over his physical body had reached a brand new height.

Now, by forcibly stopping his heartbeat and breathing, it allowed him to get extremely close to death.

Right before death, Fang Xingjian had only a feeling of...

Endless emptiness...

'Is death just the emptiness?

'Having nothing... but eternal darkness... and loneliness forever...

'There's nothing... not... even... consciousness...'

Just as his consciousness started to dissipate, streams of sword intent suddenly shot out. Fang Xingjian's physical body was extremely close to death, but he forcibly relied on the indomitability of his martial will to force his consciousness awake.

This feeling was as if after a person had run for one million kilometers, yet they still continued to run on forcefully.

It was impossible for a person to run one million kilometers, and for someone to want to continue after running that distance… that was an even more impossible thing to do.

However, right now, Fang Xingjian was trying to use his extremely indomitable sword intent to keep his consciousness awake in a situation where both his heart and breathing had stopped, and his physical body was extremely close to death.

'I... definitely must not die...

'I want to seek revenge. I want Li Shuanghua to kneel down and admit her wrongdoings.

'I want to find out about my mother. I want to understand what on earth happened.

'I still want to... attain Divine level... I want to see my sword arts achieving greater heights.

'I definitely must not die!'

Accompanied with the tug-of-war between death and his consciousness, Fang Xingjian's sword intent started to grow rapidly at an unbelievable rate. He was forcing himself to become stronger under the threat of death.

Then as Fang Xingjian's sword intent continued to grow stronger, the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent which had been hidden in his body also slowly started to tremble. Confronted with Fang Xingjian's increasingly powerful cultivation, this sword intent, which had been created by some unknown Divine level expert, seemed to finally start wanting to unleash its true power.

Fang Xingjian was getting closer to death but also understanding it. He was using the terror of struggling between life and death to temper his martial will and attain a further breakthrough.

Li Shuanghua took action as well.

She first regrouped all the overseas laboratories and then withdrew all of the Fang Clan's cash, freezing the Fang Clan's cash flow. Fang Yuehe was overcome with anxiety as the Fang Clan's operations seemed to have come to a complete standstill.

If only these things allowed the people from the Fang Clan to once again understand Li Shuanghua's control over the Fang Clan, then the things that she was going to do next would just be blatant threats using brutal force.

On one day at the end of February 2037, a large mushroom cloud rose up in Xin Country's desert in the northwest.

The scorching glow lit up the skies within a range of several hundred kilometers, and the chaotic electromagnetic waves filled the skies across the entire Earth, announcing the activation of humanity's most powerful military force.

A figure walked out slowly from the center of the mushroom cloud, a deathly domain where light and heat intersected.

At the launch site several tens of kilometers away, the Thunder Monarch brows were tightly knitted. Beside him, an adjutant gasped, "She's out! She's out!"

"To think that she's able to withstand a nuclear warhead with a yield of 50 megatons!"

"Quickly, detect her current body status. Where's the rescue team? Send them over quickly!"

"It's impossible. The temperature is too high, and there's no way that they can go there."

"The magnetic field is in a chaotic state. Even our detecting devices are rendered useless."

"She seems to be coming over!"

"There's an object getting closer at rapid speed!"

At the next instant, the ten-meter-thick ground above the launch site was torn apart. Li Shuanghua appeared in the sky charred black all over. However, on a closer look, one would be able to see that her hair, skin, muscles, and other parts of her body were growing out once again. She seemed to have become younger and more tender.

Looking at the horrified crowd, Li Shuanghua said calmly, "Bring me a coat."

The Thunder Monarch looked at Li Shuanghua with a slightly grim countenance and asked, "Have you attained a breakthrough?"

Li Shuanghua said calmly, "From today onward, I'm the strongest on Earth."

When she said this, her tone was very calm and made it sound like it was a matter of fact. It was as if she was stating some general knowledge.

However, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

'Thankfully, I successfully came into contact with the First Prince half a year ago and Fang Qian also sent over the Ancient Path of Hell's research materials.

'Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to successfully imitate the Knights' power and attain the final breakthrough.'

After all, the Green Robed magic prints faction excelled in imitation and unifying of all abilities.

The Thunder Monarch's countenance turned increasingly pale, but he could not say a single word.

Nuclear weapons had always been humankind's ultimate weapons. Even Divine level experts had never really faced nuclear weapons head-on.

Right now, Li Shuanghua had just attained yet another breakthrough in her cultivation. With the power of her physical body, she had forcibly taken on the attack from a nuclear weapon with a yield of 50 megatons. This practically showed that there were no more weapons on all of Earth which could deal her any harm.

If Fang Xingjian's earlier performance had made everyone want to kill him in all sorts of ways, eliminating this overlord who had suddenly appeared... then the power that Li Shuanghua demonstrated just earlier caused the members of the Federation's upper echelon to feel really helpless. They could not bring up any will to resist.

The difference between an overlord and a god was tremendous.

In just a few days, the news of how Li Shuanghua had withstood the power of a nuclear missile with the yield of 50 megatons with her physical body had spread out.

Various influences broke into a commotion, and a large batch of members from the Fang Clan once again went over to Li Shuanghua. Countless countries and influences tried to get into her good books.

Li Shuanghua's splendor once again overshadowed the remaining four Divine level experts and Fang Xingjian. There were even busybodies who suggested that Li Shuanghua was now the strongest in the world.

As the day of the battle got closer, Li Shuanghua's reputation grew as well. She even paid a visit to several tens of the Earth's great clans and organizations, connecting all of these powerful influences together by inflicting terror. It was almost as if she had become the leader of the five Divine level experts.

She also received invitations to meet up with Xin Country's chairperson and White Hawk Country's president. Her reputation was thriving and was like the sun at the highest point in the sky. Li Shuanghua had almost become a legend.

In the entire Federation, her words held enormous weight.

Her title of being the strongest in the world also spread like wildfire. Meanwhile, Fang Yuehe was not left with many people on his side, and Fang Xingjian had also gone missing for many days and could not be found.

On the day of the battle.

Fang Yuehe had just gotten off the plane when he felt gazes cast toward him from all directions. He lifted his head only to discover that the entire airport was filled with people. This battle had attracted too much attention. So, as someone on Fang Xingjian's side, Fang Yuehe received a lot of attention as well.

However, these gazes were filled with mostly feelings of contempt, mockery, pity, as well as joy from other people's misfortune.

Ever since the news of Li Shuanghua's participation in the nuclear experiment spread out, Fang Yuehe had gotten increasingly used to such gazes. All of his hair had turned white overnight, and he no longer had the confidence and pride he had in his eyes previously. There were only endless feelings of being at a loss and not knowing what he should do next.

Chapter 502: Arriving, Life and Death

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

A nuclear missile with a yield of 50 megatons was one of the highest level of nuclear missiles which could be used for experiments. It held about 10% of the sun's solar power, being capable of destroying the entire Demonic City with a single hit. It would turn everything within a 15 kilometer range into ash, and the area within 30 kilometers of itself, into ruins.

The mushroom cloud created from the explosion would be 40 kilometers wide and 60 kilometers tall. It was seven times taller than Mount Everest.

The hot wind it produced could cause people who were 170 kilometers away to suffer from third degree burns.

The flash produced from the explosion could hurt the eyes of witnesses that were 200 kilometers away, even causing cataract and blindness.

The strong gales it produced had a pressure of 100 kilograms per square meter, and could extend up to 1,000 kilometers away in every direction.

The explosion could even cause Eurasia to move nine millimeters to the south.

The usual intercontinental ballistic nuclear missile used would only have a yield of 0.5 to 1 megaton.

A nuclear missile with a yield of 50 megatons could potentially annihilate any target on Earth.

Li Shuanghua had forcibly faced such a weapon head-on, and she had even been at the center of the explosion.

Thinking of this, a chill ran down Fang Yuehe's back. He could not think of any ways that could kill Li Shuanghua.

Other people clearly thought the same.

Therefore, Fang Yuehe, who had came to watch the battle by himself, appeared extremely miserable, unlike how he had been a month ago, when he was enjoying great glory.

Until the day of the battle, he had still yet to get into contact with Fang Xingjian. This had made him sleep less over the past three days, not even exceeding two hours in total.

There were all sorts of rumors. Some said that Fang Xingjian had escaped, some said that he had already admitted his wrongdoings before Li Shuanghua... There were even some who said that he had committed suicide as he could not withstand the pressure. Nothing good was mentioned at all.

As Fang Yuehe headed out of the airport, a row of people suddenly blocked his path.

It was Fang Clan's third son, Fang Yueming. Right now, his head was tilted as he sat on a wheelchair. He was fully covered in bandages, bearing morbid hatred in his gaze.

The person pushing his wheelchair was Li Meimei, Fang Yueming's wife, whose cultivation had been crippled by Fang Xingjian. She was now looking at Fang Yuehe with a gaze of contempt.

Some time ago, Li Shuanghua had sent people to bring her over. No one had dared to stop her.

Looking at Fang Yuehe's astonished gaze, Fang Yueming spoke while clenching his teeth, "Second Brother, you hadn't expected that I'm still alive, right?"

Fang Yuehe exhaled, saying, "Third Brother, it's good that you're alive."

"It's good that I'm alive? Do I look like I'm alive to you?" Fang Yueming smirked. "You thought that you could become the clan head, but you hadn't expected that Fang Xingjian wasn't reliable at all, right? Having climbed all the way out only to be pulled down so easily... How does it feel?"

Li Meimei also said, "Second Brother-in-law, your choice to take the wrong path this time around has infuriated Mother. I think you'd better start thinking of how you can pacify her when the time comes."

The two of them laughed loudly and left, leaving behind Fang Yuehe with a bleak expression, feeling extremely terrified.

Letting out a sigh, he continued to head toward the location of the battle. No matter what, with Li Shuanghua's power, there was nowhere he could run even if he wished to. He thought of how he was also Li Shuanghua's son, after all. The worst possible thing that could happen to him would be for him to be chased out of the clan. She could not possibly have him killed.Just as he was rushing to the Sahara Desert, Li Shuanghua was already standing atop a sand dune, hands crossed. There was not even a hint of a breeze within a one kilometer range, nor was there a single speck of sand flying in the air. Even the temperature did not seem to be experiencing any change in the least.

Countless people who were here to spectate were standing several tens of kilometers away from where Li Shuanghua was.

When a Divine level expert made a move, the damaging prowess would be very big. Even if there were many experts amongst the people coming as spectators for the battle, no one was willing to get near the battle scene.

They practically relied on their unique abilities, binoculars, detectors, satellites, or other means to observe this battle from afar.

After arriving at the battlefield, Fang Yuehe found a random place and waited there. He dared not meet his mother. One reason was because Li Shuanghua had been a person of great authority and was extremely strict with her teachings ever since he was young. This had made Fang Yuehe very fearful of his mother, from a young age.

Another reason was that, after Li Shuanghua had been revered as the strongest person on Earth, being called number one in the world, she had liaised with great clans and organizations, and she had even received the recognition of the five powerful nations. This had made her reputation grow even more, reaching an unbelievable stage.

Just as Fang Yuehe was thinking about all these, he heard a voice with a strong air of authority coming from the sky. It resonated like a breeze of prestige from the heavens.

"You unfilial son. Since you're here, why aren't you kowtowing and acknowledging your mistakes?"

Fang Yuehe's countenance changed and at the next moment, as he was sent a majestic, endless, and omnipresent power extending out from void space. With a single pull, he was brought before Li Shuanghua, dragged across a distance of ten over kilometers.

At the next moment, Fang Yuehe felt an immense pain coming from his knees as he knelt onto the ground.

Before so many experts from all over the Earth, the moment Fang Yuehe dropped to his knees, he immediately glared with bloodshot eyes, saying, "Mother, do you really have to do something like this before so many people?"

"Hmph," Li Shuanghua let out a cold snort, not caring for Fang Yuehe's fury and coldly spoke, "You defiant son. You went into cahoots with that vile spawn and you're thinking of snatching away our Fang Clan's assets. How dare you still show your face here today?"

Fang Yuehe seemed to have decided to go all out as well. Ignoring Li Shuanghua's powerful aura, he said, "Mother, I'm your son as well. Do you only have Third Brother in your eyes? Is there anything wrong with me wanting to become the head of Fang Clan?"

"That is you not knowing your own worth. With Xingchen's talent, he'll definitely surpass me in the future and he'll be the one to bring the Fang Clan to greater heights.

"Since that's the case, you should hold back your thoughts and focus on helping him clear the path for his future.

"Who would have expected that you're so foolish that you cannot be saved, even deciding to go along with that vile spawn." Li Shuanghua spoke in disdain. "That vile spawn is so arrogant and considered himself to be the best just because he had a fortunate encounter. Do you really think that he can achieve great things? You really are short-sighted. Based on this alone, the Fang Clan can't be handed over to you."

Fang Yuehe grew increasingly recalcitrant, wanting to stand up and say more. However, he sensed waves of power gushing forth from void space and his entire body was completely suppressed by the Divine level expert's will. He could not move a single inch, let alone say a single word.

This feeling made Fang Yuehe feel extremely aggrieved.

Li Shuanghua continued to speak, "You can just continue to kneel and reflect on your own actions today. Once I've taught that vile spawn a lesson, you can head back with me to Demonic City. From now onward, you can wash your hands off of matters concerning the clan."

Hearing this, the little bit of courage Fang Yuehe had managed to summon earlier seemed to vanish immediately. It was as if all of his soul and energy had been drawn out, as his eyes instantly filled with nothing but desperation and loss.

He knew that from that day onward, he would only be allowed to do nothing but eat and wait for death. He would no longer have anything to do with power over the clan.

At the same time, Tyrant turned into a white-skinned man, hiding amongst a group of people ten over kilometers away. He frowned to himself, "Damn, this old woman seems to be even more powerful now. I wonder if Xingjian will be able to handle her."

Countless people were waiting in anticipation for this earth-shaking battle. Not only were there many people who had come to spectate, there were also countless cameras pointed at Li Shuanghua, providing live recording on the internet.

Spies from a number of countries continued to check out the situation there, while reporting to their bosses.

However, after waiting from morning until noon, and then from noon until night, Fang Xingjian still did not appear. Everyone's expressions were getting increasingly impatient.

"It can't be that Fang Xingjian has fled, right?"

"If I were him, I wouldn't dare to come either."

"This coward. He fooled the entire world."

As more and more grievances were voiced out and many more people felt that Fang Xingjian had stood Li Shuanghua up, in a hospital, a loud baby's cry filled up the entire room.

Fang Xingjian's eyes suddenly popped open as well.

'The end to life is death; the end to death is life.'

Chapter 503: Improvement and Confrontation

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Fang Xingjian's body had been close to death for almost one day and one night. When he was woken up by the crying of a baby, Fang Xingjian's consciousness had awoke from a state of chaos. His heart started beating once again, his blood started flowing once more, his lungs started breathing, and his brain started to work bit by bit.

At this moment, Fang Xingjian suddenly had a profound understanding of death. To him, death was no longer scary.

At the same time, the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent in his mind had completely revived as well. It turned into a black sword's blade, running through his entire body.

Ever since he had gotten the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent, Fang Xingjian knew that as his cultivation improved, he would be able to unleash more and more power from the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent. The mock death cultivation this time around had even propelled the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent to undergo a change.

'The Heaven's volition; the survival of the fittest.'

From then on, Fang Xingjian gained a deeper understanding of the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent. He knew that the uniqueness of the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent was that it could continue to grow with time. As long as it continued to absorb new sword arts and sword principles, it would continue to adapt, evolve, and become stronger than before.

And since Fang Xingjian's comprehension toward death had grown, with the tempering of his martial will, the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent evolved as well. It transformed into a black-colored sword edge, filled with the aura of death, loneliness, and hollowness.

Fang Xingjian believed that if he were to activate the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent again, its prowess would no longer be comparable to what it was before.

And as for the real reason why Fang Xingjian had faced the death training, the fifth God-Slaying Sword...

Death was the finale of a person's time. When a person died, their consciousness would leap out of the long river of time. They would no longer be able to affect history, and history would no longer be able to affect them anymore. Only until they returned to the world once again would they once again enter the long river of time.

After merging the profoundness of the Infiltrating Void, Light Pursuit, and All-Conquering, using his comprehension of life and death, as well as time as the structure, Fang Xingjian had finally successfully cultivated the fifth God-Slaying Sword.

'The instance of life and death... All the changes between life and death, the process of entering and leaving the river of time, all take place in that very instance.

'Therefore, this sword shall be called Instant.'

The black-colored sword intent swelled in Fang Xingjian's body. As this surge of power extended outward, the flying birds in the sky froze midair. The sun's light rays became twisted, the clouds came to a standstill, and the air turned into a stagnanting wall. It was as if the entire world had stopped functioning.

It was not until the black sword edge had slashed before Fang Xingjian that the wall in front of him was completely torn apart.

The fifth God-Slaying Sword was one which could bring a new sword into time.

The moment this sword attack was unleashed, time would come to a stop. After the sword attack ended, time would flow once again.

Or it could be said that a sword that had not been there before had suddenly pierced into the river of time.

Of course, throughout this entire process, Fang Xingjian could only send out one sword attack. He would not be able to do anything else. Furthermore, this sword attack could only be performed within a range of 100 meters.

The sword, Instant, was one which would come and go without people knowing. It was a sword attack created from impossibilities. It was also a sword attack which could neither be dodged nor defended from.

After completing this sword attack, Fang Xingjian revealed an expression of extreme elation and satisfaction. This sword move had been created purely from his sword arts cultivation. It represented the essence of a certain peak that his sword arts cultivation had reached.

If he were to activate Heaven's Volition Sword Intent and then perform 'Instant', the prowess would be even more terrifying.

The black sword intent flashed and disappeared. Taking one step forward, Fang Xingjian appeared before a nurse. The nurse was about to scream for the doctor when she suddenly felt very groggy and said, "Today is 1st of March. It is now 11.50 p.m.."

"Oh? I'm already late?" At this thought, Fang Xingjian moved once again, disappearing with a flash.

Fang Xingjian rose into the air, and in the blink of an eye, appeared in the stratosphere. After the past one month of tough cultivation, not only had his martial will swelled up and his sword arts cultivation improved tremendously, he had also gone through numerous improvements in other areas.

Both his specialty seeds and Waves had improved by a lot and the Prodigious Astral Divine Powers Waves had already reached level 9.

His Universal Sword Dominance Lunisolar had even started seething. Fang Xingjian could sense that after he would completely defeat Li Shuanghua and release the hatred in his heart, his mental cultivation method would experience an even greater improvement.

Right now, his attributes had become:

Name: Fang Xingjian

Age:18

Strength: 30619

Agility: 31119

External Specialties: 8

Mental Cultivation Method: Level 8 Universal Sword Dominance Lunisolar

Fang Xingjian cut across the cloud layer at rapid speed, traveling at several tens the speed of sound. He managed to reach the sky above the battlefield within a few minutes.

Right now, in the Sahara Desert, countless people who had been waiting for over ten hours were becoming extremely impatient. There were even people who had started to pack up and were planning to leave.

"This is boring. To think that Fang Xingjian got cold feet."

"This is no joke. Li Shuanghua is even able to fend off a nuclear missile. Who else on Earth would be able to withstand a bashing from her?"

"Sigh, I thought that there would be a battle of the century taking place. I wonder where Fang Xingjian went into hiding."

Just then, someone pointed at the horizon, saying, "Look!"

"What's that?"

"Is that Fang Xingjian?!"

Countless people gasped as they looked toward the sky in the east. A lone black figure cut across the sky. Wherever it passed by, the cloud layer would part, and streams of air currents would gush outward in two opposite directions.

Just as everyone had noticed this strange scene, a figure already stood several hundreds of meters above Li Shuanghua's head. The next moment, Fang Xingjian's voice, together with gushes of whirlwinds, rang out for a range of ten meters in an instant. It was as if an immense thunder had exploded in the air.

"Li Shuanghua, you probably hadn't expected that there would be a day where I'd be standing before you, and defeating you."

Li Shuanghua laugh coldly as she stood up, looking at Fang Xingjian, who was floating in the sky, and said, "You vile spawn. Do you think that just because you've comprehended a few sword techniques, you'll be able to fight me?"

Fang Xingjian's gaze appeared indifferent as he looked at Li Shuanghua. The next instant, an extremely heavy intent filled with deathly aura descended from the sky, smashing against Li Shuanghua and clashing against her martial will.

In that instant, Li Shuanghua's countenance changed. During the collision of their martial wills, she had felt an extremely heavy weight. There was even... there was even the threat of death...

At that moment, she understood. She was not the only one who had improved. Fang Xingjian's improvement was even more terrifying.

Chapter 504: One Sword

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Fang Xingjian continued, "Li Shuanghua, as long as you're willing to go down on your knees and apologize to my mother, I'll let you off."

Fang Xingjian spoke very calmly, but with Li Shuanghua's character, how could she possibly agree? Not only could she not agree, but a hint of fury even flashed in her eyes.

"Your mother did not act in virtue and was deprived of morals and ethics. Moreover, she was my daughter, and I was the one who gave her life. Everything of a person is given to one by the parents. It's right and proper for me to take her life. What right does she have for me to kneel for her?"

Li Shuanghua bellowed, "You vile spawn! Scram down here!"

With this thunderous bellow, a martial will akin to a green tempest gushed fiercely toward the sky. Everywhere it passed by, the atmosphere was crushed into vacuum, and a force that could destroy an entire mountain smashed against Fang Xingjian's body. However, it clashed fiercely against the resisting pitch black Heaven's Volition Sword Intent.

Fang Xingjian's sword intent had improved and the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent had evolved. Although he still needed to deplete potential points in order to activate it, it could already take the initiative to protect Fang Xingjian.

Crackling sounds of explosions rang out ceaselessly and the surrounding air exploded from being compressed by the two waves of martial will.

Facing the attack from Li Shuanghua's martial will, the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent took the initiative to protect Fang Xingjian. It forcibly stopped the attack and stood as steady as Mount Tai.

However, Li Shuanghua was clearly not that simple. The fierce bellow was just the beginning. Accompanied by that explosive bellow, she stretched out her five fingers, grabbing fiercely into the void space.

The air within a range of ten li manifested as if it had encountered an absolute sovereign. At the same time, it was as if a black hole had suddenly appeared in the air. An endless amount of air crazily gushed toward Li Shuanghua's palm, and in the blink of an eye was compressed into a pure white sphere.

At the same time, her other hand struck out across space toward Fang Xingjian. Green light flashed explosively and the released attack was even more powerful than the explosive bellow from before. It clashed against the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent on Fang Xingjian. The tremendous sound of collision was just like the morning bell or the evening drum, resonating outward very far away.

This clash caused Fang Xingjian's body to sway slightly while his countenance changed. He did not know that for the past one month, Li Shuanghua's cultivation level had improved greatly after having taken reference from the Ancient Path of Hell's cultivation information.

After two consecutive moves, the extremely compressed air in Li Shuanghua's palm had turned from invisible to white, and then from white to gray, before eventually turning from gray to pitch black.

This was because as the wind compressed, it would also gather endless water vapor and dust.

This move was Li Shuanghua's previous ultimate skill, the Nine Heavenly Windthunder Tribulation. It was said that this move could turn the area within a range of ten li into flat land.

However, this was still not enough. After the Nine Heavenly Windthunder Tribulation was unleashed, waves of sulfuric and lava-like aura started to flow out from Li Shuanghua's body. That was the aura of hell.

Holding the Nine Heavenly Windthunder Tribulation in one hand, streams of green demonic flames came from her other hand. Sulfuric lava aura exuded, it was as if hell had descended and the mortal world had fallen.

This was a move which Li Shuanghua had invented after imitating and unifying the power of the Ancient Path of Hell--Nine Earthly Flaming Aerial Catastrophe.

One hand was a sovereign that ruled the atmosphere and controlled strong gales. The other was a devil that caused the ascent of hell and the fall of the mortal world.

Right now, Li Shuanghua's aura had reached a new extreme. Under the influence of the tremendous power, the surrounding sand started to fly up toward the sky. The spectators who were standing several to ten kilometers or so away were all wearing astonished expressions. It was because they realized that even though they were so far away, they were still being affected by Li Shuanghua's martial will. Countless people dropped down to their knees with pale countenances. It was as if they had witnessed the most bloody and terrifying scene in hell.

The Thunder Monarch, who had kept himself hidden, wore a complicated expression, "What an amazing move. Where on earth did she learn that? I can feel that if the two surges of power in her hand were to explode at the same time, they would have an extremely terrifying destructive prowess."

Next to him, Despot, who was over five meters tall, wore a grim countenance. He had always been at odds with the Fang Clan, and after seeing how powerful Li Shuanghua was now, it was not difficult to imagine what he was thinking.

He spoke in a low voice, "This martial art isn't the same as what she cultivated in the past. Now she has something that's deep and ancient, that exudes a ghostly aura, like hell. This feeling... It's probably not a martial art from Earth."

Li Shuanghua was wearing an arrogant expression. When the two different types of power from the atmosphere and hell were joined together, the three effects of wind, fire, and lightning would gather.They could form a tempest that could destroy everything.

At this moment, Li Shuanghua's power had reached a new height. She felt that her power would seemingly be able to destroy even the entire Earth. However, Fang Xingjian, who was in the air, appeared indifferent to this scene. He merely asked coldly, "Your preparations are complete?"

Li Shuanghua's eyes squinted. She had not expected for Fang Xingjian to just remain standing and not take any action from the very beginning. To think that he had allowed her to continue accumulating her powers to the maximum!

'He wants to defeat me when I'm at my strongest?'

Li Shuanghua was not wrong. This was Fang Xingjian's intention. He wanted to defeat Li Shuanghua when both her aura and power had reached their peaks, so as to completely destroy her will.

Thinking of this, the fury in Li Shuanghua's eyes grew even more grim. Moving her hands, the Nine Heavenly Windthunder Tribulation and the Nine Earthly Flaming Aerial Catastrophe clashed together fiercely, turning into a tempest that gushed forth toward Fang Xingjian.

This tempest was really as if it had come from hell. Wherever it passed by, all the air molecules would heat up and take on the form of plasma. The tempest itself even seemed to depict a scene of hell materializing and the mortal world once again turning into the hellish environment from the ancient past.

It was as if once this gush of hellish wind passed by, the entire environment would return to just how it had been many billion years ago... when Earth had been in a state similar to a big pot of chemical soup, where no life existed.

This intent that seemed to want to take away all lives was far too powerful. With its abrupt appearance, the countless spectators within a range of ten or so kilometers let out gasps. Some spewed blood and collapsed, while others wore terrified expressions. There were also some who had simply been knocked out.

In that moment, the power that Li Shuanghua displayed was far too overwhelming. Regardless of whether it was physical destructive prowess or mental destructive prowess, it had reached great extremes in both areas.

Fang Yuehe, who was situated the closest to her, felt the greatest amount of terror. It was as if he was a small boat in a raging storm, as if he would be crushed completely at any moment, not even leaving his corpse behind.

Fang Xingjian, who was facing the bulk of the impact, experienced an even greater pressure. The black Heaven's Volition Sword Intent turned into many sword edges, encompassing his body. However, it trembled incessantly under Li Shuanghua's attack. The black sword edges dissipated at a rapid rate, as if they would be completely crushed at any moment.

However, just as everyone was thinking that Fang Xingjian was going to fail, he finally made his move.

Fifth God-Slaying Sword, Instant, activated!

No one saw what Fang Xingjian's sword move was like; no one saw where Fang Xingjian's sword attack had come from; and no one saw where Fang Xingjian's sword attack ended.

There was no beginning, no ending. It was as if an additional second that had never been there before was directly entered into a video clip.

Everyone eventually could only see a sword mark bursting open on Li Shuanghua's neck, and Li Shuanghua's eyes exploding with an astonished gaze.

"You...

Before she could even finish her words, Li Shuanghua's head flew out into the air and she became a headless female corpse.

Chapter 505: Hung Up and Beaten

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Having just watched the scene of Li Shuanghua being beheaded with a single sword attack, all the people present were extremely astonished. They were unable to imagine that Li Shuanghua, who had been able to withstand a nuclear missile with a yield of 50 megatons, could be killed with just a single sword attack!

However, just when everyone thought that Li Shuanghua would die just like that, green light continued to flash on her body, assembling her body together until it was complete once again.

Then violent martial will struck against Fang Xingjian's body with a loud boom , catching him unaware and sending him flying over ten kilometers away. The violent martial will also held Li Shuanghua's fury.

'Vile spawn, do you really think that you'll be able to defeat me just like that?

'My martial will has long reached the second tier. And aside from being able to materialize my will and affect the physical world, I can directly turn my will into parts of my physical body, freely reassembling it.

'As long as my will isn't dead, my body will never die!'

At the next instant, green light burst forth from Li Shuanghua's eyes, and countless explosions occurred on the mountain over ten kilometers away. The explosions rendered Fang Xingjian, together with the entire mountain, into ruins.

Watching this astonishing scene, everyone present was struck with surprise once again. This was especially the case for the Thunder Monarch and the Despot, who were both also Divine level experts.

The Thunder Monarch was extremely astonished, "Materializing one's martial will will allow for the breakthrough of restraints to the physical body and and mind, thus reaching the Divine level. However, we've never been able to succeed in researching this.

"How on earth did Li Shuanghua progress further?"

The Despot, who was like a huge chimpanzee, stomped down on the metal ground, shattering it. He gritted his teeth tensely and thought, 'Damn it! She can turn her martial will into a part of her body? So, if her will doesn't die, her body won't die? What kind of joke is this?! To think that after the will has been materialized, it can be raised to such a degree...?

'Then it's no wonder that she can fend off a nuclear weapon with a yield of 50 megatons.'

Flashing green light encompassed the entire ground, completely submerging Fang Xingjian's body. Violent pressure gathered on every inch of skin on his body, and the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor let out waves of laments, as if it was going to explode and turn into scrap at any moment due to the high temperature?

However, at this moment, a martial will that was filled with killing intent, killing aura, and death once again gushed forth.

"Is this what you're relying on?

"Is this your trump card? Li Shuanghua...

"This is too insignificant..."

At the next moment, the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent was activated! Fang Xingjian's potential points rapidly diminished at a rate of 100,000 points per second.

It was unknown as to when it had happened but Fang Xingjian now had two White Bone Longswords in his hands. He slashed out with the one in his right hand.

With the enhancement from the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent, how powerful would the Four God-Slaying Swords' All-Conquering be?

Wherever the longsword passed by, the clouds within a range of over 100 kilometers were split into two. The rays of sunlight shining down were completely cut off, and the green martial will seemed like a parted ocean, opening a path right before Fang Xingjian.

It seemed that wherever the sword's edge passed by, there were no more physical things in the world that could stop it. Fang Xingjian moved forth and headed for Li Shuanghua.

Li Shuanghua let out a fierce bellow, and green light flashed explosively, smashing wildly toward Fang Xingjian.

Simultaneously, both the Nine Heavenly Windthunder Tribulation and the Nine Earthly Flaming Aerial Catastrophe were activated at the same time. They formed a hellish tempest, heading toward Fang Xingjian with a destructive force.

However, the attacks were useless. Fang Xingjian thrust out diagonally with his longsword, and the green light, which covered a range of several kilometers, was sliced into two with a swoosh. A hellish pathway was also slashed through the hellish tempest.

"What?!" Li Shuanghua glared at this scene as if she found it hard to accept that her attack could be slashed into two by Fang Xingjian.

Then at the next moment, Fang Xingjian was already appearing before Li Shuanghua, and the fifth God-Slaying Sword, Instant, was activated once again, slashing through Li Shuanghua's waist completely.

Li Shuanghua had only just reassembled her body, yet her brain was now slashed into meat paste.

Fang Xingjian stood before Li Shuanghua, performing Instant time and time again. Many sword lines burst open before Li Shuanghua, killing her physical body time and time again.

Li Shuanghua let out a furious bellow and charged out as her entire body shone with green light. However, she was chopped into pieces by a single Instant attack and ended up exploding in midair.

Then she started to regenerate her body once again, attacking with her martial will and sending countless Windthunders plunging down from the sky. Yet with just a glare from Fang Xingjian and the activation of the Light Pursuit's sword ripples, the Windthunders were crushed one by one. Even Li Shuanghua's head exploded from the impact of the Light Pursuit's several million sword ripples.

Ahhh!

A piercing scream rang out in void space. The scream turned into bursts of ultrasonic waves, which had the power to crush mountains, and headed toward Fang Xingjian.

However, the speed of sound was still far too slow for Fang Xingjian. Sweeping out with his longsword, Fang Xingjian destroyed all the ultrasonic waves.

Li Shuanghua's body, that had just regained its form, was once again smashed with a loud boom .

Up in the sky, green martial will started seething. However, this time around, Fang Xingjian did not even give Li Shuanghua the chance to regenerate. He thrust out with his White Bone Longsword, appearing in the middle of the green martial will like flickering light and passing shadows.

With this thrust, the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent turned into a black sword edge, exploding forth and piercing into the green martial will directly. In midair, Li Shuanghua's will burst outward explosively. It was crushed by the black sword intent and sent scattering into the air.

Li Shuanghua's martial will could not withstand being attacked by the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent and Fang Xingjian's sword arts. It kept on being pushed back in midair, with no way of resisting.

Agonizing cries rang out continuously from the void space. However, under the attack of Fang Xingjian's sword intent, the cries grew increasingly weaker, and the glow from the green martial will became increasingly faint. Additionally, the mass of the martial will got smaller and smaller.

In the end, there was only a weak glow like that from a bunch of fireflies. Fang Xingjian saw that Li Shuanghua was regenerating her body, but her vital energy and blood were now extremely weak. Not only was she unable to move, but she could no longer materialize her will either.

When the Thunder Monarch saw this scene, he was extremely astonished. "Hung up and beaten? She was hung up and beaten? How is that possible?! How can this be possible?!"

The Despot's mouth almost could not shut. He looked at Fang Xingjian and Li Shuanghua, who was now unable to move, as if he were looking at aliens.

'As Li Shuanghua's martial will had progressed to the extent that she could make them part of her physical body, she was able to fend off a nuclear bomb with her body directly. She can use her will to regenerate her body and is able to withstand a nuclear bomb with a yield of 50 megatons... Yet, under Fang Xingjian's sword attacks...

'She is so weak that she is unable to stand up to him at all?

'Damn it! It even seems like this kid has yet to use his full power.'

On the other side of the desert, Fang Yueming sat in his wheelchair while Hua Meimei stood behind it. The two of them stared at the screen before them. The scene they saw was filled with dust, explosions, and flames. However, Fang Xingjian's and Li Shuanghua's silhouettes could not be seen.

Both Fang Yueming and Hua Meimei had lost a large part of their cultivation, so they were unable to see the situation on the battlefield with their own abilities.

Fang Yueming's face was filled with expressions of hatred and exhilaration. He could not help but shout, "Quickly! Make it clearer! I want to see the sorry plight of that little b*stard!"

At the next moment, after the dust dispersed, Fang Xingjian's and Li Shuanghua's silhouettes finally appeared on the screen again. What astonished everyone present was that the person who was still standing was Fang Xingjian, while, Li Shuanghua was lying on the sand, utterly motionless. She could only glare at Fang Xingjian with great enmity.

Chapter 506: One Against Two

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Fang Xingjian looked down at Li Shuanghua, who had collapsed onto the ground. He felt a sense of exhilaration he had never felt before, and the mental cultivation method in his mind continued to circulate at a rapid speed as if it would attain a breakthrough at any moment now.

Looking at Li Shuanghua's vengeful gaze, Fang Xingjian spoke with indifference, "Li Shuanghua, are you still unwilling to admit your defeat?"

With Li Shuanghua's character, as a Divine level expert and a powerful expert who had cultivated to such heights, how could she possibly admit her loss so easily?

Even if a blade was put against her neck, she still would not admit her loss easily.

"Vile spawn, you go against human ethics and are an ingrate. Even if you win by a little today, you'll definitely be drowned in sins in the future and won't end up with a good ending."

Fang Xingjian knew that it was impossible for Li Shuanghua to admit her loss so easily. If she did not have an unbending will, it would have been impossible for her to achieve the materialization of her will, thus becoming a Divine level expert.

Therefore, when he heard this, he just shook his head. "Since you aren't willing to admit your loss, there's no way that I'll let you off easily when you have Divine level power."

The White Bone Longsword in Fang Xingjian's hand tapped on Li Shuanghua's head as he said, "I'll give you one more chance. If you're willing to apologize to me, admit your loss, kneel down before my mother in the ancestral hall and admit your wrongdoings, I'll let you off.

"If you aren't willing, I'll cripple your lifetime of cultivation right now."

"Hahahaha," Li Shuanghua laughed. "Vile spawn, do you really think that you can threaten me with something as small as this? If you want to cripple me, then go ahead. But if you want me to apologize to you, admit my loss, and kneel down and apologize to that defiant daughter who brought shame to the clan, that's impossible.

"Moreover, do you think that you're invincible just because you've defeated me? There's still the Federation, as well as other Divine level experts on Earth. They won't let you do as you wish."

"The Federation? Other Divine level experts?" Fang Xingjian smiled. He paid no heed to Li Shuanghua, who could no longer move. Instead, he lifted his head and looked toward the west.

At the next instant, he abruptly disappeared and then reappeared over ten kilometers away. He then thrust fiercely toward the ground.

With a tremendous boom , Fang Xingjian landed fiercely onto the ground, sending endless amounts of sand soaring into the air. The sand scattered out in all directions as if several ten thousand jin of explosives had been lit. The people in the surroundings either fainted from the impact or were sent flying. Countless tents, pieces of furniture, amounts of food and drink were also overturned and sent several kilometers away.

The setup, which had been originally like that of an ancient Imperial Court, now only had two people left. One of them was the chimpanzee-like Despot who remained seated where he was, looking coldly at Fang Xingjian.

Beside him, the silver-haired and silver-eyed Thunder Monarch let out a deep bellow. As his voice rang out, numerous pieces of metal alloy came flying from all directions, assembling together on his body.

As a Divine level expert of the Ford Clan, which had the greatest technological power, the set of alloy armor the Thunder Monarch was wearing could be said to have reached the peak of Earth's current technology.

Not only was it equipped with a high intelligence system, but each piece of the armor had also been forged by many layers of special alloy. It allowed the user to move as they wished deep down at the bottom of the sea, in outer space, or even on the moon. While wearing the armor, the person would not suffer from a single scratch.

The various weapons the armor was equipped with included laser beams, missiles, machine guns, plasma beams, ultrasonic waves, and circular lightning bolts. It had the destructive force of an entire army of mechanized troops.

As for the Thunder Monarch himself, he was a user of yellow magic prints.

Unlike the magic prints of other colors, yellow magic prints strived for evolution. All of the cultivator's black magic and magic prints abilities would stimulate the cultivator ceaselessly, allowing them to evolve constantly.

Such evolutions were more generic, but there were also evolutions that were unique to every single person. The power obtained from evolution by each and every yellow faction magic prints Warriors or Yellow Robed Mages would differ based on their mentalities, experiences, and characters.

This would meant that the power of each yellow faction magic prints Warrior and Yellow Robed Mage would be unique and different from those of others as they continued to evolve. Although there might be similarities, it was impossible for any two powers to be completely identical.

The Thunder Monarch cultivated yellow magic prints, and through the constant evolutions, he had obtained lightning-type abilities. When put together with the high-tech weapons that the Ford Clan constantly developed, he now had an astonishing battle prowess.

With Fang Xingjian's appearance, the trio's martial wills continued to clash wildly in the air. Countless thoughts were being exchanged in that very instant.

"Fang Xingjian, are you insane?!"

"Are you going to take on the two of us by yourself?"

"The two of you can just fight at full power. Otherwise, if two Divine level experts were to die in my hands, it would be a great pity."

"You're a lunatic."

Confronted with Fang Xingjian's reply in that short exchange, both the Thunder Monarch and the Despot knew that there was no other way out.

Then at the next instant, lightning flashed incessantly all over the Thunder Monarch's body, and the alloy armor he wore was fully activated. Over 100 emitters lit up at the same time, and over 100 beams of laser were shot toward Fang Xingjian.

The Thunder Monarch had turned all of his lightning power into laser beams and shot them out.

Just when the over 100 laser beams hit Fang Xingjian's body, the King Kong-like Despot made his move as well.

Many black magic prints swelled up all over his body. In addition to that, his aura grew tremendously. A phantom image that had the exact same silhouette as himself and was 100 meters tall rose up behind him.

Amongst the 12 factions of black magic, the black faction, which consisted of black magic prints and Black Robed Mages, had always been seen as one of the three strongest factions in face-to-face combat, together with the gold and silver factions.

Cultivators of black magic prints would not have any other extraordinary abilities. The only ability that a black magic prints Warrior had was the ability to engulf other life forms and limitlessly strengthen their physical body and mind.

Although black magic prints Warrior would not have any other extraordinary abilities, their battle prowess would already be astonishing with just their terrifying physical bodies and minds. Simultaneously, as they engulfed lives to increase their battle power, they tended to experience tremendous improvements.

This was also the reason why cultivators of the black faction, like the Despot, had a great enthusiasm for massacre and would experience frequent mood swings.

With the Despot's abrupt outburst, the muscles under his skin started slithering like numerous huge and ancient dragons. Before the impact from his fists hit Fang Xingjian, Despot's fists had already completely sucked up the surrounding air. Even the ground under his feet had plunged by one meter due to this.

Despot's strength attribute had already surpassed 400 points. This was the first time that Fang Xingjian had seen someone with such a powerful physical body.

Moreover, it was not just his physical body. Behind Despot, that extremely massive phantom image, that was over 100 meters tall, was something which was condensed from his martial will. The amount of martial will condensed was even much greater than what Li Shuanghua had unleashed earlier.

In that instant, the Thunder Monarch and the Despot had joined forces. Both Divine level experts had a deep understanding of how terrifying Fang Xingjian was. Thus, they had both gone all out. Yellow magic prints and black magic prints both burst forth together.

Over 100 streams of laser beams struck Fang Xingjian's body, and within a millisecond, the Despot's fists quickly followed after. The phantom image behind him also struck from afar, sending out violent martial will gushing forth. It was as if there was a spiritual tsunami that was going to engulf Fang Xingjian's consciousness completely.

Faced with such terrifying attacks, Fang Xingjian only performed one sword attack.

The fifth God-Slaying Sword—Instant.

At the next instant, the alloy armor that could withstand several ten thousand tons of pressure exploded at the Thunder Monarch's chest. A big hole was blasted into his chest, and he was sent flying over 100 kilometers away. Along the way, he pushed away the atmosphere and sand dunes, as well as smashed and crushed numerous hills.

Chapter 507: Chasing, Chasing, and Chasing

After Fang Xingjian sent the Thunder Monarch flying with a sword attack, the Despot came into contact with Fang Xingjian just when he had already activated the Infiltrating Void and entered the spatial gaps.

However, the Despot's martial will also came crashing down in the form of a terrifying spiritual tsunami, filling up every inch of space in the spatial gaps. Endless waves of information surged forth, as if wanting to completely fill up and burst Fang Xingjian's brain.

However, when faced with this terrifying attack, Fang Xingjian just slashed out with his fourth God-Slaying Sword, All-Conquering, without panicking.

'In terms of quantity, your martial will is greater than that of the Thunder Monarch and Li Shuanghua combined. However, in terms of quality, you're merely piecing together the countless spirits you engulfed.'

An All-Conquering attack slashed out from the spatial gaps, turning the over-100-meter-tall phantom image into two. Confronted with Fang Xingjian's sword attack, the massive amount of martial will, which had been like a tsunami, was now like a block of butter that had encountered a butter knife. It was slashed into pieces, leaving only a sphere of black light, which was its core. This was a gush of martial will which truly belonged to the Despot.

Roar!

The heavy blow dealt to the Despot's spirit caused him to let out an earth-shaking and terrifying cry. His muscles swelled up once again in great fury, and he turned into a black giant that was over ten meters tall. Lowering his shoulders and dropping his elbows, power rose up from his feet, flowing through his entire body. Then as his muscles twisted like raging dragons, his strength amplified wildly.

As his punch struck out, it was as if the entire scenery had changed. The layers of clouds above the Sahara Desert were blown off, and all of Africa's weather changed rapidly as a terrifying sandstorm swept through the entire desert.

In a small city at the borders of the Sahara Desert, the sky, which had been bright and clear at the beginning, instantly turned dark. Countless passerbys stopped in their tracks and looked toward the sandstorm that was gushing toward them. Then they screamed out loud and scattered off in all directions.

During the next ten minutes or so, the entire city was drowned by the sandstorm.

In northern Egypt, all the airports were called to an emergency stop. The great sandstorm raged through the entire North Africa for the following one week.

This one move brought rise to a magnitude 7 or 8 earthquake. However, this one punch that affected the entire North Africa was split into two right before Fang Xingjian. Upward from the Despot's fist, his wrist, arm, elbow, and shoulder were all slashed into two.

The Despot's massive arm, which was five meters in height and several tens of tons in weight, smashed into the ground like a building. He let out a furious bellow and punched out with his other fist.

Amidst stifled booms, Fang Xingjian could even sense the many atoms and molecules being crushed. Streams of light radiation and explosions came gushing toward him together with the Despot's fist.

To think that this was a scene that was achieved from purely physical strength! How terrifying was the level of the Despot's physical strength?!

However, it was still useless. The All-Conquering sword slashed out at an angle, and the Despot's other arm, which was over five meters long and over two meters thick, was sent flying away with a swoosh . The arm crashed into the ground and caused a lot of sand to spray up.

The surrounding spectators started to retreat frantically. Compared to the battle between Li Shuanghua and Fang Xingjian, the Despot, who had gone all out, was like a creator of natural disasters. He swung his fists about without a care, creating terrifying sandstorms and tornadoes.

"Quick, run!"

"A tornado is coming over!"

"Damn it! Our car has been turned over!"

"Where's the guide?"

At the next instant, a tsunami of sand, which was over 1,000 meters tall, came gushing toward them. Everyone was stunned.

"Quick... Run quickly!!!"

On the battlefield, over a million waves of Light Pursuit sword ripples gushed toward the Despot like fierce tides. The Despot was completely drowned for a single second, and when he appeared once again, the black skin all over his body had been ripped off. One could see the countless muscles and blood vessels, fully exposed, as he lay down on the ground, half dead.

The Despot bellowed, "Fang Xingjian! You shall die a horrible death! Are you planning on going all out against us?!"

Fang Xingjian did not give a reply to him. He seemed to merely brush against the Despot and then sent his deadly sword intent directly into the Despot's mind. Fang Xingjian's voice rang out in Despot's mind. "If you say another word, I'll kill your entire clan."

The Despot's face flushed red, and he trembled in anger. However, under that seemingly physical deadly sword intent, he could not say another word.

It was because he knew that Fang Xingjian was not joking. If he were to really say another word, Fang Xingjian would definitely kill his entire clan.

After having temporarily crippled the Despot, Fang Xingjian's gaze absorbed endless light waves, and he looked toward at the Thunder Monarch who was several tens of kilometers away.

The Thunder Monarch's battered alloy armor was emitting smoke and spraying out liquid plasma as if it was free.

Then he flew out toward the east like a meteor. In the short period of time Fang Xingjian had taken to look at him, the Thunder Monarch was already over 60 kilometers away from Fang Xingjian, and was continuing to accelerate.

If the Despot could be said to be power-typed fighter, then the Thunder Monarch was one that was highly mobile and specialized in extremely far distance battles.

Right now, the Thunder Monarch was planning on escaping to Demonic City directly and then flee to Miracle World.

Faced with the Thunder Monarch who wanted to escape, Fang Xingjian arrived behind Tyrant with a flash. After a short exchange of information currents within one-hundredth of a second, Tyrant was now already encompassing Fang Xingjian's body. In that very instant, auras from 1,440 specialty seeds on his body surged up, and waves of physical strength seethed in his body like a great river.

Then at the next instant, Fang Xingjian abruptly squatted down, and there was a tremendous boom . The sand under his feet seemed like it had been struck by a huge invisible palm, and the ground within a range of 100 meters sank in two meters deep.

The power from Fang Xingjian's legs burst out like a bomb, and endless sand soared into the sky, forming another sandstorm that extended into an area spanning several tens of kilometers away. Fang Xingjian was now like a rocket—no, he shot out with a speed that far surpassed that of a rocket.

Under the tremendous speed, everything seemed to be at a standstill. The flying birds were motionless, the sandstorm appeared to have been frozen, and the air was like cement, knocking into his face.

Fang Xingjian thrust out with his longsword, and the All-Conquering was activated. The space before him was slashed apart and gave way to a vacuum passageway, removing all forms of air resistance.

With each step Fang Xingjian took, his foot would stomp down on the air, creating an explosion that would resonate out to a far distance away. Streams of air currents gushed out in all directions, some bringing up endless sand, and some destroying mountains and rocks, while others cleared up the sky to present a cloudless state.

Under the full outburst, Fang Xingjian's speed instantly reached a new extreme, and his entire body came to a slight pause as he dashed out over 30 kilometers away. With a few more flashes, he arrived over 50 kilometers away.

Right now, the Thunder Monarch's mind was completely overwhelmed by terror.

'Powerful... unrivalled...

'How can there possibly be such terrifying sword arts in this world?

'Thankfully, I've made my escape. I must leave Earth immediately. Only by escaping to Miracle World will I be able to tap into diabolic energy to get away from Fang Xingjian.'

The diabolic energy on Earth was far too weak. It was only in Miracle World that magic prints Warriors or Mages would be able to tap into diabolic energy for their battles.

Just as the Thunder Monarch was thinking of this, di di di di sounds rang out from the alloy armor's security alarm. On an electronic map in the screen of his helmet, a red dot was chasing after him at an unbelievable speed.

Chapter 508: In Desperate Straits

The Thunder Monarch turned back to see a black dot abruptly appearing in midair. Then he blinked, and the black dot had already become Fang Xingjian, appearing over ten kilometers behind him.

With an astonished gasp, the Thunder Monarch shot out over 100 laser beams immediately, hitting Fang Xingjian. Simultaneously, several tens of small-scaled missiles shot out toward Fang Xingjian.

However, with a horizontal slash of sword light that Fang Xingjian sent out, all the laser beams only heated up his body for less than one-hundredth of a second. Then the laser beams were split into two by the many streams sword light. The laser beams reflected onto the ground, creating many huge trenches.

Simultaneously, Fang Xingjian's body continued to accelerate. Millions of sword ripples were sent sweeping out, and all the small-scaled missiles were crushed. Fang Xingjian arrived less than 100 meters away from the Thunder Monarch.

The Thunder Monarch's face was pale, but he was a Divine level expert after all. Although he was terrified of Fang Xingjian's power, it did not affect his performance in the battle at all.

Scorching white light burst out from his body. Streams of circular lightning gushed forth and turned into plasma that was several hundred thousand degrees celsius, encompassing his entire body.

Layer and layers of plasma engulfed his body completely, then after abruptly shrinking by a layer, it released a glob of plasma, shooting it toward Fang Xingjian.

At this moment, the damaging prowess that the Thunder Monarch displayed could be said to be comparable to that of a plasma cannon of the starships from legends. Any blast from the plasma cannon would be sufficient to penetrate any armor on Earth.

Its ability to instantly unleash a great destructive force within an area could even be comparable to that of a nuclear missile.

Yet when this sort of plasma blast shot out toward him, Fang Xingjian did not even give it a second thought and slashed out with his sword again, activating the Light Pursuit. In that instant, over one million sword attacks were unleashed, wiping out the plasma globs and the liquid plasma they held.

However, due to this, Fang Xingjian's speed slowed down by a notch, and the Thunder Monarch managed to increase the distance between them once again.

The two of them continued on like this, with one chasing and the other fleeing. Wherever they passed by, there would be thunderous sounds as laser beams, sword ripples, and shots from plasma cannons crashed into the ground. Many mountains were destroyed, and many lakes evaporated.

The speeds of the two people were really too fast. With one of them giving chase while the other fled, they had already crossed Africa and arrived at Asia in slightly over ten seconds.

Compared to the battle against the Despot, in this battle between Fang Xingjian and the Thunder Monarch, the damaging powers got increasingly weaker. However, the impacted area got increasingly larger due to their high mobility.

"They're here, they're here. They've passed through the borders."

In central Eurasia, the command post of the air force of a certain country was in a state of chaos.

"Launch out all the homing missiles we have. Bring down that Fang Xingjian!"

"We can't. They're too fast."

"Our homing missiles aren't able to catch up at all."

"Damn it! The aftermath of their attacks destroyed the entire Royal Air Force station in Essex."

"Where are they? Where are they right now?"

"They're gone... They... have already passed by our country."

At the top of the Himalayas, three mountain climbers were slowly headed toward the peak.

However, at the next moment, two black lines cut across the skies, appearing before them and then vanishing.

Under the trio's astonished gazes, rumbling sounds of thunder rang out and several hundred light pillars cut across the horizon. There were also countless invisible sword ripples slashing out on the mountain peaks. The entire Mount Everest had over 100 meters of its slopes vaporized.

A mountain climber looked at the gushing avalanche and bellowed, "Run!"

At the foot of the mountain, countless people came out from their cars, houses, and hotels. With mouths agape, they looked upon this scene which made it seem as though the world was coming to an end. They saw that endless amounts of snow were being blasted into the sky and then turning into a raging snowstorm under the impact from the strong gales. Avalanches and explosions were encompassing the entire Himalayan range at a rapid speed.

"They've entered our borders!"

"Where are they?"

"Northwest Province... No... No... Their speed are too fast... They've already arrived at the Central Province..."

"What kind of joke is that?! What happened to the Skynet? What about the anti-missile system?"

"They can't catch up to them!"

In the joint command post of Xin Country and the Earth's Federation, several hundred military officers were in a busy and chaotic state.

A commander looked at the two light spots that were traveling at a rapid speed and mumbled, "This is... The true destructive power of Divine level experts? It hasn't even been a minute and they've already crossed all of Eurasia, destroyed countless mountain ranges, cities and military, and now, they're returning just like that?"

In this moment, a feeling of dejection, that was beyond what anyone had felt before, filled up the hearts of everyone present. Confronted with such power... mobility... and destructive force... How on earth could they possibly do anything?

Just then, an adjutant went up to the commander and said, "Sir, the chairman of the Federation has given the approval for you to activate nuclear missiles at the crucial moment. We mustn't let Demonic City be destroyed by their hands. We must stop them before they arrive!"

In the sky, 10,000 meters above the land.

The Thunder Monarch and Fang Xingjian had already arrived at the center of Xin Country in the blink of an eye. They had only engaged in battle for less than a minute, yet the Thunder Monarch already felt extremely exhausted. Regardless of whether they were laser beams, missiles, plasma cannons... or even if he attacked with poison and lightning... All his attacks would be slashed down by this lunatic before him. The Thunder Monarch really felt as if he was at his wits end.

However, just then, three intercontinental ballistic missiles, which were over ten meters long, flew toward them.

The intercontinental ballistic missiles were slower than Fang Xingjian and the Thunder Monarch. However, the missiles were coming from the opposite direction, so the amount of time it took for the two sides to meet depended on the combined traveling speed of both sides. Therefore, the missiles met up with the two people in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

In a mere couple of seconds, the pressure at the center of the nuclear explosion was several billion times stronger than it used to be. All the atoms in the air were robbed of their electrons, forming high temperature and high pressure plasma bodies. X-rays, beta rays, alpha rays... All sorts of radiation burst forth.

A fireball with a diameter of over 50 kilometers was formed in midair, and it was as if it was a second sun in the sky.

At this moment, within a range of over 1,000 kilometers, almost all of Xin Country could witness this circle of light in the sky

Meanwhile, in the very middle of the shock waves, Tyrant, who was on the surface of Fang Xingjian's skin, received the first impact. Then, just like an onion which was slowly peeled away in layers, over 70% of Fang Xingjian's body was vaporized within a millisecond. The high temperatures and high pressure plasma shock waves were mixed with various radiations as they hit against Fang Xingjian's body.

In this moment, Fang Xingjian only felt as if every bit of flesh on his body was dying, and every single cell was withering.

If he did not show any resistance, his body would really turn into powder within the next one-hundredth of a second.

However, although his physical body, which had a material structure, was dying... the things which formed it—things which were even smaller than physical particles—underwent a different transformation.

His martial will was now so strong that it could solely exist for one day and one night even if his body were to fully die. In this process where Fang Xingjian's body was incessantly being diminished, he could feel that the 1.08 billion physical particles in his body were changing.

He could sense that, under the impact from the nuclear explosions, the physical particles in his body were exploding one after another. They were just like candles in his body, which was originally dark to begin with, getting lit up by the impact of the nuclear explosion. It was as if countless worlds were being shattered in Fang Xingjian's body.

Under the impact of the nuclear explosion, over 100 physical particles were seething and raring to go.

Chapter 509: Breaking Through

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

'This feeling...?

'The physical particles in my body are being stimulated incessantly?'

However, upon feeling that his brain was about to reach its limits soon, Fang Xingjian did not allow himself to stay to savor the feeling. He swept out continuously with his longsword, sending away the high temperature shock waves in the surroundings. Then he brought the Thunder Monarch along with him as he entered spatial gaps.

In the joint command post of Xin Country and the Federation in Demonic City, everyone was extremely nervous.

"Powerful tremors are being detected in the Western Central Province!"

"All electronic communications across the Central Province have been destroyed. They probably won't recover within 48 hours."

"Fire has broken out in the Southern Central Province."

"The mushroom clouds from the explosions have exceeded an area of 100 kilometers and are continuing to spread out."

"The smoke and dust clouds are still moving around, and we're unable to locate Fang Xingjian's traces with the satellites."

"Is he dead?"

"He should be. Those were three nuclear missiles, each with a yield of 50 megatons. The explosion this time around will probably have an irreversible impact on the entire Earth's geomagnetic field, environment, and atmosphere."

"Hold on..."

Just then, a deafening rumble of thunder rang out from above the command post, and countless amounts of soil fell down. It was as if some kind of heavy item had plunged down from the sky.

'What's going on?"

"Who is attacking us?"

"Project the view of the security camera onto the screen."

Through the projection, they saw that Fang Xingjian was standing on the armor-plated ground. With one hand, he was grabbing onto the Thunder Monarch, who was now in a terrible state due to the impact of the explosions and covered in blood. In Fang Xingjian's other hand, he held onto a White Bone Longsword, thrusting it down and penetrating through armor-plated ground as he headed down, deeper into the underground base.

"Damn it! Why is he charging over here?!"

"All personnel be on the highest level of alert! All personnel be on the highest level of alert! Warning, this is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill."

A loud boom rang out. The wall, from which the sound emerged, was blasted open, and Fang Xingjian walked out slowly. The moment he appeared, over 100 mechanized troops started shooting at him.

The security alarm for the entire base rang out, and countless troops were mobilized. In the darkness, numerous mechanized warriors stood closely together, trembling abruptly. Then at the next moment, many pairs of blood-red eyes lit up in the darkness. There appeared to be several ten thousand of them.

Shutter door after shutter door continued to close down, and poison, flames, and electric currents continued to fill up every inch of space before Fang Xingjian.

Fang Xingjian just sent a sword attack sweeping out. It then formed several million waves of sword ripples, slashing countless robots into pieces. Toxic gas was being swept away, while the shutters were being destroyed. The base's full defenses were unable to stop Fang Xingjian for even a single second.

"Damn it!"

"He's coming over!"

"West Section 3 has been completely destroyed!"

"The 1st, 3rd, and 6th units have been wiped out."

"All robot troops have been annihilated!"

"The armor plating on the 32nd story has been broken through."

"The mechanized troops reinforcements will only be able to arrive in another ten minutes."

"The target is continuing to advance..."

"The target is progressing toward the final barrier. The defensive force field is activated... Now, it has been destroyed... For him to be able to do all this in just a single attack..."

Fang Xingjian continued advancing step by step. Facing the storm of metal coming toward him, Fang Xingjian's Light Pursuit sword ripples were like laser beams with a high level of accuracy, breaking each and every one of the several ten thousand metallic bullets.

Following that, there were incessant attacks from missiles, machine guns, and toxic bombs coming from the metal walls. However, all of these attacks would be destroyed by Fang Xingjian's Light Pursuit sword ripples.

"The target has broken through to the 52nd underground story."

"The 3rd Robot Unit has been annihilated."

"The 52nd underground story has fully collapsed. The number of casualties is unknown..."

"Damn it, what about the reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements?"

"The target has arrived at the final barrier."

"Destroying the final barrier that is 30 meters in thickness with just a single sword attack... Such destructive prowess..."

"He is coming."

In the command post, the commander with the greatest authority looked at the layer of metal armor plating on the ceiling under his head and slowly closed his eyes. At the next moment, streams of light shot out from the armor-plated ceiling. There was a loud boom , and the entire layer of armor plating was slashed into pieces. Then Fang Xingjian and the Thunder Monarch landed slowly.

Sending sword intent gushing out, Fang Xingjian's voice rang out concurrently in the minds of the people who were the highest ranking military officers in the Federation and Xin Country.

"From today onward...

"You people will control the future of Earth...

"And I will be the one to control whether you live or die."

In the Sahara Desert, Li Shuanghua's lower body was buried in sand, but her entire body was completely unable to move. Her strength had been fully depleted in her earlier battle with Fang Xingjian. She was already at her limits just maintaining her consciousness, let alone being able to move.

Right when a sandstorm covering up the skies, there was a soft cry, and the sandstorm was dispersed. Fang Xingjian slowly descended from the sky and appeared before Li Shuanghua.

Li Shuanghua looked at Fang Xingjian and asked coldly, "What? Vile spawn, are you here to kill me?"

Fang Xingjian spoke calmly, "You've always been wanting to kill me, your grandson. Right now, I'm only asking you to apologize to me, and kneel down and apologize to my mother. Repent. If you do that, I won't kill you. Yet you aren't even willing to do that?"

Li Shuanghua closed her eyes like she did not care to continue the conversation with Fang Xingjian.

Fang Xingjian continued, "Do you think that the Earth's Federation, the other five great countries, or the other Divine level experts will be able to save you?"

Li Shuanghua opened her eyes, looked at Fang Xingjian, and said, "Do you think that you'll be able to suppress the entire world just by yourself? What a joke."

"It has only been four minutes and 50 seconds since I just left, and I've already defeated the Thunder Monarch and the Despot. I also made a trip to the joint command post of Xin Country and the Earth's Federation. They've already agreed for me to take over your place to become the newly appointed council member of the Earth's Federation."

The corners of Li Shuanghua's lips curled up, and her eyes filled with a sneering expression. "Do you think that I'll believe such a childish lie?"

Fang Xingjian shook his head. "Li Shuanghua, it doesn't matter where you believe it or not. Today, I'll first cripple you of your cultivation. We'll have a lot of time to have a long chat after this. I'll definitely get you to bow down."

With a tap of his sword, Infiltrating Void exploded in Li Shuanghua's brain. It pierced into a few nerves in her brain, cutting off Li Shuanghua's control over her physical body.

In that instant, Li Shuanghua felt as if the strength in her body started to dissipate.

As her control over her physical body had plunged, she was unable to gather the strength from her muscles and bones. If this were to continue over a long period of time, preventing her from training her body, she would get weaker and weaker, and get closer and closer to being an ordinary person.

However, the most lethal thing was that from this day onward, every time she wanted to focus her attention in her consciousness, her brain would experience an immense pain as if it had been pricked by needles. She was no longer able to activate her martial will and thus was also unable to regenerate her body, unable to attack, and unable to cultivate.

For the whole of the next day, all the members of the world's higher echelon were put through a storm like never before.

The first to bear the impact of the storm was, of course, the Fang Clan. Starting off with Li Shuanghua, Fang Yueming who was Fang Clan's third son, as well as Fang Yueming's wife, several hundred people from the Fang Clan were sent to Demonic City's prison.

Fang Clan's second son, Fang Yuehe, on the other hand, had soared to great heights in status. He had become the spokesperson for the Fang Clan and was left to be in charge of everything in the Fang Clan.

Chapter 510: Meeting Again

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Three days had already passed since that world-shaking battle. With just Fang Xingjian's unrivalled sword arts, the entire Fang Clan had submitted to him. The Fang Clan's second son, Fang Yuehe, even went through an intensive reformation, chasing out or locking up the elderly members and people who had pledged their loyalties to Li Shuanghua the past. He did all this in order to gain complete control over the Fang Clan.

As one of the Five Great Clans on Earth, the influence of the Fang Clan far surpassed what ordinary people could imagine. They had powerful influence over the areas of medical, finance, property, food, industrial, military, and politics.

Even if Fang Yuehe were to take over everything by making necessary adjustments and transformations, he would still need one or even two years to complete the entire process.

However, all these were no longer of any concern to Fang Xingjian. He only existed as the Fang Clan's clan head, and Fang Yuehe was the only one who handled the specific matters.

In fact, putting his power aside, Fang Xingjian was merely an 18-year-old young man. He could kill countless numbers of Fang Yuehe single-handedly... However, in terms of his abilities in management, finance, laws, and other areas, there was no way for him to catch up to Fang Yuehe, who had been managing the clan's affairs for many years.

Moreover, he knew that his greatest support was his strength. Spending time that he could be using on cultivating to manage the clan and expand their influence would simply be neglecting matters of importance for trivialities.

During these couple of days, Fang Xingjian had been staying on the top story of the Fang Clan's building, condensing his specialties while comprehending his takeaways from the battle.

This time around, after his battle with three great Divine level experts, Fang Xingjian gained new comprehensions toward his sword arts. Moreover, defeating Li Shuanghua and suppressing the Federation had released him from his inhibitions, reducing his feelings of hatred tremendously. With that, his mental cultivation method finally attained a breakthrough to level 9.

Furthermore, when he encountered the nuclear explosions at the very end, he even got a new idea toward condensing physical particles.

Right now, Tyrant had already turned into a young boy and was sitting at the side in a bad mood. He looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "Hey, when are we going back? Both the density of the ether particles and diabolic energy here are far too low. I can only recover when I get back to Miracle World."

Due to the nuclear missiles during the battle three days ago, over 90% of Tyrant's physical body had been vaporized. Furthermore, he had continued to lend Fang Xingjian a lot of his power during this entire trip on Earth, causing his recovery speed to become extremely slow. As such, he would only be able to recover completely after returning to Miracle World.

Fang Xingjian said, "Wait till I've settled everything here. Or maybe there's some other way out..."

Just then, Fang Yuehe walked in. He looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "Xingjian, Caroline has been brought here. When she heard the news of your great victory three days ago, she immediately thought of escaping to Miracle World and was seized by the Navy on the spot."

Caroline, the black lady from the Onassis Clan, which the Despot belonged to, was the person who had kidnapped and tortured Fang Xingjian over two years ago.

Right now, Fang Xingjian did not even have to take action personally. The Onassis Clan had seized Caroline and the countless members from the branch she belonged to, including her parents and younger siblings, together with their several hundred subordinates, servants, and relatives.

Within three days, there had been so much bloodshed that the blood could form a river.

After killing over one-third of the Onassis Clan's direct descendants, the Onassis Clan then transferred several trillions of their wealth to the Fang Clan. This amount was comparable to the GDP 1 of certain countries for an entire year.

Similarly, the Ford Clan, which the Thunder Monarch belonged to, had also paid a great price, giving up countless companies, organizations, as well as the results of their research in science and technology. They could be said to have been dealt a great blow.

However, for them, there was no other way out. The Divine level experts of these two clans were both in Fang Xingjian's hands, so they had no choice but to give in.

"Caroline?" Fang Xingjian said with indifference, "Bring her over for me to take a look."

A few minutes later, a badly mutilated black lady, who seemed to have been tortured to the verge of death, was dragged over by a guard and thrown to the ground.

Caroline lifted her head and glared at Fang Xingjian with a vengeful gaze. "Fang Xingjian, my greatest regret right now is that I didn't chop off your head back then."

Fang Xingjian took a look at Caroline. The latter had already become a level 29 magic prints Warrior. However, the female expert, who had enjoyed a high status previously, now seemed to be in a sorry plight.

"Tyrant, eat her up."

Caroline had yet to react when a black shadow pounced onto her suddenly. It wrapped her up gradually like a lump of modelling clay, then it started to digest her.

Tyrant had been craving for a very long time. If it were not for the fact that Fang Xingjian had been keeping his eyes on him, Tyrant would long have started to engulf living creatures to replenish what was depleted from the regeneration of his physical body.

Caroline started to struggle frantically as her face filled with extreme terror. She kept on crying out in agony, pleading for mercy. Not many people would be able to stand watching their physical body get engulfed like this.

Fang Xingjian let Caroline cry out in agony at the side while he turned to Fang Yuehe and asked, "Has the Federation given the approval in regard to the matter concerning the nuclear missiles?"

The nuclear explosions, which Fang Xingjian had experienced previously, had stimulated over 100 of his physical particles. Therefore, his interest in nuclear missiles had elevated. He planned to attempt experiencing nuclear missiles again, or even nuclear radiation, to see if he could use them to accelerate the rate at which he condensed physical particles.

Throughout the entire Miracle World, there were not been many Demigods who had been able to satisfy perfection tier of achieving 1.08 billion physical particles. If Fang Xingjian could achieve this, he would have the chance of becoming the first person in history to complete all five tiers of perfection.

"There's no problem regarding the nuclear explosions. As for the nuclear radiation experiments, the research laboratory has also been prepared," Fang Yuehe said, "We can start any time."

Fang Xingjian nodded, satisfied. He then asked, "How's Li Shuanghua?"

Fang Yuehe replied, "We've locked her up by herself. At the very beginning, she experienced headaches the moment she started cultivating, but she seems to have gotten used to it now and still undergoes basic training everyday. Although she isn't able to unleash her battle power, her will to fight is still very strong."

Fang Xingjian knew that there was no way that Li Shuanghua would submit so easily. Every Divine level expert possessed extraordinary talent, determination, and mind. Even when they were placed in desperate situations, they definitely would not give up. Otherwise, they would not have become Divine level experts.

Fang Xingjian said, "Let's go and take a look at her."

In the underground prison located in the southeast of Demonic City, Li Shuanghua wore blue prisoner clothings but continued doing push-ups on the ground. Her eyes were filled with fighting spirit, as if she was not affected in the least from having her cultivation crippled.

However, as her cultivation had been crippled, the training she was going through was now about the same as what ordinary people did. There was no way for her to conduct internal exercises such as circulating her vital energy and blood, as well as moving her bones and muscles. Additionally, there was also no way for her to unleash any extraordinary strength. Regardless of how much she trained, she could only reach the level of olympic champions at most.

Just then, the sound of engines started to ringing out, and the steel door to the prison was gradually opened. Li Shuanghua stopped her training and looked toward the door.

Accompanied by Fang Yuehe, Fang Xingjian entered slowly and said as he looked at Li Shuanghua, "Seems like you're still in good spirits. As expected of a Divine level expert... You haven't given up hope despite the fact that things have come down to this."

Li Shuanghua spoke coldly, "Vile spawn, what on earth do you want? I'll say it first, even if you kill me, you can forget about getting me to bow down to you."

Chapter 511: Despot

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

"Fang Xingjian, do you really think that I'm a three-year-old kid? If I kneel down and apologize, you won't kill me? If you want to break down my martial will and humiliate me, you'll have to tell a better lie than that.

"Now that things have come down to this, one of us will have to die. If you want to kill me, then go ahead. But you can dream on about humiliating me."

Li Shuanghua then looked toward Fang Yuehe and said coldly, "Defiant son, are you going to abet the enemy as well?"

Fang Yuehe lowered his head and spoke with indifference, "Mother, ever since you became the clan head, you've been doing whatever you wished without showing any restraint, going against logical thinking and showing favoritism. All you know how to do is to save all the good things for Third Brother. Do you really think that everyone accepts the way you do things?

"If it wasn't for the fact that you're powerful and a Divine level expert, everyone would have long since overthrown you from your position."

Li Shuanghua looked at Fang Yuehe, her eyes flashing with hints of fury. "Alright, alright, alright. Remember what you've said today. When I've recovered my power and regained control over the Fang Clan, the first person I will kill will be you, you defiant son."

"Mother, admit your loss," Fang Yuehe said calmly. "Things are already set in stone. Xingjian's sword arts have astonished the world. You don't have a chance."

Li Shuanghua merely sneered as she did not believe Fang Yuehe's words.

Therefore, the Fang Clan's second son, Fang Yuehe, said, "Mister Thunder Monarch and Mister Despot, please come in. Bring along Third Brother and his wife as well."

The Thunder Monarch, with a head of silver hair, and Despot, who had shrunk to a height of just slightly over two meters, walked in slowly.

The two of them no longer showed any signs of the imposing presence and valiance they previously had. Rather, they were just like ordinary people now. Clearly, they had also been crippled of their cultivation by Fang Xingjian. They could no longer summon any strength from their bodies, display any prowess from their martial wills, or unleash any extraordinary strength.

This was especially so when Fang Xingjian had dealt them serious injuries and then crippled them of their extraordinary strength immediately after. This prevented their wounds from recovering fully, forcing them to remain in a constant state of being severely injured. If it was not because Fang Xingjian had treated their lethal injuries, it was possible that their physical bodies would have died completely.

Watching this scene, Li Shuanghua's eyes narrowed, appearing to be just like a cat's. She stared at the two Divine level experts like she could not believe this.

Thereafter, the Fang Clan's third son, Fang Yueming, and Hua Meimei were both dressed in prisoner clothes as they walked in together. When they saw Li Shuanghua, who was held captive, strong feelings of despair flashed across their eyes. Then when they looked at Fang Xingjian, their hearts filled with emotions of hatred, fury, despair, and loss.

Seeing that their greatest support, Li Shuanghua, had lost to Fang Xingjian, they were at a loss, despairing over what the future had in store for them.

Fang Yuehe, who was standing by the side, continued to say, "Both Mister Thunder Monarch and Mister Despot were suppressed by Xingjian single-handedly and have been crippled of their cultivation. Right now, they are temporarily staying as guests at the Fang Clan's abode."

Hearing these words, Li Shuanghua's expression changed slightly. On the other hand, Fang Yueming's and Li Meimei's countenances changed drastically as greater feelings of despair filled their eyes. They started to look toward Fang Xingjian with pitiful gazes like they were begging for mercy.

Fang Xingjian could sense that with the appearance of the Thunder Monarch and the Despot, Li Shuanghua's will was clearly been shaken. Although she appeared as if there had not been any changes, she was, in actuality, very astonished by the Thunder Monarch's and the Despot's failure.

Fang Xingjian looked at Li Shuanghua and said, "Thunder Monarch, Despot, if the two of you are willing to show me your full support in the Earth's Federation from now onward and support Fang Yuehe, I can let you off. I can even consider removing the sword intent restriction I've placed on your bodies."

"What?!"

"Is that true?!"

Both the Thunder Monarch and the Despot lifted their heads in unison, looking at Fang Xingjian in disbelief. If they were in his shoes, having defeated two Divine level experts after so much effort, there was no way that they could let the two of them off so easily.

The Thunder Monarch frowned and asked, "Aren't you afraid that after we've regained our cultivation, we'll continue to go against you?"

Fang Xingjian spoke with indifference, "With my sword arts, it just takes a single thought for me to kill you guys. So what if you were to recover all of your cultivation?

"Even if the two of you were to attain a breakthrough again, it'll still be extremely easy for me to kill you, let alone if you were to recover your cultivation. If you don't believe me, you can try it out after you've recovered your cultivation."

Hearing what Fang Xingjian said, the two of them frowned and went into deep thought. The Despot was the first who could not bear it.

The Despot, who had gotten used to violence and a powerful physical body, really could not get used to being in a weakened state for three consecutive days. After all, his power had come from his physical body and spirit, which were the foundational aspects of an individual. How unaccustomed must he be feeling now that his cultivation had been crippled? How bad must he be feeling now?

It should be said that amongst the three Divine level experts present, the Despot was the one who had the greatest degree of reliance on his physical body.

Moreover, his current state was thanks to the strong will that Divine level experts had. If it were someone else, it was possible for the person to have committed suicide just like that.

Right now, after hearing what Fang Xingjian said, the Despot said directly, "Fang Xingjian, my conflict with you is merely because of Caroline. The branch that she belongs to has already been wiped out completely, and we've also handed her over to you.

"Therefore, the conflict between us is considered to be settled. As long as you can recover my cultivation, I, as well as the entire Onassis Clan, will serve you as our lord from today onward."

There was a mixture of both truth and lies in the Despot's words as it was impossible for him to have a high degree of loyalty to Fang Xingjian. If the situation were to change, it was very likely that he would rebel.

After all, which Divine level expert would not be faced with countless mysterious encounters and which of them would not be extremely talented? Moreover, which of them would not see themselves as the center in which the world revolved around?

However, after the Despot finished his words, Fang Xingjian merely nodded. "What you say makes sense." He then threw a sideward glance toward the Despot and said, "But who said that you can talk to me while standing up?"

As Fang Xingjian finished his words, the Despot's face immediately turned flush red. Traces of blood could be seen in his eyes as he said, "You want me to kneel down to you?"

"Didn't you say that you're going to revere me as your lord?" Fang Xingjian waved his hands, and an explosive surge of power burst forth. The air was compressed and turned into layers of pressure, pressing against the Despot's body. All these caused the Despot to slowly kneel down onto the ground.

Watching the Despot's bloodshot eyes and extremely savage expression, Fang Xingjian spoke nonchalantly, "You can't accept this?"

The Despot lowered his head. He was afraid that if he were to lift it, the killing intent in his eyes would be too obvious. Instead, he clenched his fists and let out a low bellow, "Fang Xingjian, enough! From today onward, the entire Onassis will revere you as our lord. Both my clan and I will become the Fang Clan's subordinates."

Accompanied with his actions and words, the Despot's eyes abruptly turned dark, and the martial will in his mind continued to shatter.

This sort of humiliation was a serious blow for a Divine level expert in the condensing of their martial will.

Despot said dejectedly, "I accept this."

Fang Xingjian nodded and tapped out with a single sword finger, removing the sword intent restriction he had placed on the Despot. Then he healed the damage he had dealt onto the Despot's brain.

The Despot grabbed onto his head and let out a agonizing cry. However, he soon stood back his feet, and the black magic prints throughout his body extended out continuously. His vital energy and blood started circulating, and his tendons, bones, and muscles began to stretch. His injuries had already begun to heal, and he was regaining his strength. In another one or two hours, he would probably be able to recover at least half of his battle power.

Chapter 512: Unyielding

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

When the Despot finally got his strength back once again, he felt his powerful physical body and the seething power growing incessantly within it. Then the Despot broke into an excited smile.

However, at the next moment, he saw that Fang Xingjian was still shaking his head, saying, "Now that you've regained your strength, I can now bring up the other matter with you."

"What?" The Despot looked at Fang Xingjian, puzzled.

"I received some news. Your clan's steward said that if Li Shuanghua wanted you to join forces with her, you would want half of my mother's remains. Was this something you said?" Fang Xingjian's gaze was sharp like sword light, encompassing Despot's entire body. In that instant, Fang Xingjian's killing aura seemed to have materialized and covered the Despot entirely.

Hearing this, the Despot knew that he was in trouble. Standing up suddenly, he was about to flee at full power.

Black magic prints flashed wildly, turning into surges of materialized power and exploding on Fang Xingjian's body. Simultaneously, the Despot backed off abruptly, wanting to escape.

However, even at peak condition, the Despot had not been a match for Fang Xingjian. So, how could the Despot possibly win against Fang Xingjian now when he was only just starting to recover?

The Despot's martial will struck against Fang Xingjian's body and was stopped by the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent. Fang Xingjian did not even sway in the least.

Simultaneously, the Despot's physical body had just taken one step back when Fang Xingjian launched out an attack across space with his palm. The Despot's body was crushed, and he was pushed into a metal wall like a meatball.

The Despot's body became twisted and deformed. He looked at Fang Xingjian with vengeance-filled eyes and said, "Fang Xingjian, with the way you go back on your words and act on your free will, you won't end up in a good plight."

Fang Xingjian smiled. "You call this acting on my free will?"

He shook his wrist and tossed Tyrant out toward the Despot while saying, "Tyrant, let him know what it means to be acting as one pleases."

Looking at the body of this Divine level expert, Tyrant was extremely excited. Although the Despot was in a bad condition, with his vital energy and blood in a weakened state, the attributes of a Divine level expert were still there.

Tyrant's physical strength would definitely increase once again after engulfing the Despot's body.

At the next moment, the entire prison was filled with agonizing cries and munching sounds, as well as the sounds of bones and flesh being crushed.

Looking at the extremely brutal scene before them, Fang Yuehe, Fang Yueming, and Hua Meimei all revealed terrified expressions. Even the Thunder Monarch could not really bear to watch this scene. Li Shuanghua was the only one who had remained expressionless from the very beginning, as if there was nothing that could shake her heart anymore.

Immediately following this, Fang Xingjian looked toward the Thunder Monarch.

Under Fang Xingjian's gaze, the Thunder Monarch felt that the pressure in his heart was extremely heavy. The Despot's terrible plight seemed to have been imprinted into the Thunder Monarch's mind, becoming a scene that he would never be able to forget.

Various contradicting thoughts flashed through the Thunder Monarch's mind until they all turned into a single sigh.

The Thunder Monarch's eyes revealed a helpless gaze as he said to Fang Xingjian, "Fang Xingjian, if I revere you as my lord, will you do the same thing to me as what you've done to the Despot?"

Fang Xingjian shook his head. "I don't really have a grudge against you, nor do I have any opinions about you. As long as you're willing to come under me, I'll naturally be willing to let you off."

Hearing Fang Xingjian's reply, the Thunder Monarch nodded and said, "Then that's fine. Fang Xingjian, as long as you recover my cultivation, from today onward, I'll stand with you in the Federation and also revere you as my lord."

It was so hard for one to gain the power of the Divine level. All the Divine level experts had gone through much work and effort just to reach this cultivation level. Now, all he was being asked to do was to submit to Fang Xingjian. How hard could that be? It was not as if he was like Li Shuanghua or the Despot, who had various feuds with Fang Xingjian and were therefore unwilling to submit.

Moreover, looking at the Despot's terrible plight, the Thunder Monarch could not find the words to reject Fang Xingjian.

Thinking of the possibility of watching himself being eaten up bit by bit... even the Thunder Monarch could feel the hairs on his body stand up.

After hearing the Thunder Monarch's words, Li Shuanghua lifted her head abruptly and said, "Are you crazy?! You're going to submit to this vile spawn just like that? When Tiandao and Titan come back, or when the Mage Association finds out the situation here, do you think that you'll end up in a good plight?"

The other two Divine level experts in the Federation, Tiandao and Titan, were in Miracle World and had yet to return. Furthermore, the Fang Clan's Fang Xingchen was the disciple of the Mage Association's Black Mage King, and he had a close connection with the Fang Clan and Li Shuanghua.

The Thunder Monarch smiled bitterly. "Even if the Black Mage King were to come to Demonic City, he won't be able to perform much black magic here. As for Tiandao and Titan, even if they have attained another breakthrough, they won't be a match for Xingjian.

"Old lady, why can't you understand this? With Fang Xingjian's current cultivation, he's able to inspire awe throughout the world and become the strongest on Earth. Why do you have to remain so stubborn?"

Fang Yuehe joined in as well, "That's right. Xingjian's sword arts is unrivalled. Moreover, how long has it even been since he started cultivating?

"Not only is he the head of our Fang Clan, but he is also our hope for Earth's future. With him around, we won't have to remain on the disadvantage when we speak with the Mage Association or even other Divine level experts in Miracle World.

"Mother, it's better for you to give in. It's inevitable for Xingjian to become the strongest on Earth and become the pillar of the Federation. Why can't you get over this?"

Fang Xingjian smiled and sent out his Infiltrating Void, removing the sword intent restriction on the Thunder Monarch.

The moment the sword intent restriction was removed, the Thunder Monarch started activating the martial will in his body. Electricity flashed on his body, slowly restoring his physical body and battle prowess. This caused the Thunder Monarch to wear an expression of joy.

Li Shuanghua looked at the Thunder Monarch, who had regained his power, and sneered, "For you to submit so easily, you're leaving your martial will impure. This is the equivalent of leaving a flaw in your heart, and you'll no long have the spirit to press on forward with an indomitable will.

"Even if you recover your power right now, you won't be able to gain greater heights in the future. While it appears to be the easier way out, you're in fact cutting off your future prospects. Your decision is really ignorant and laughable."

A sneer flashed on the Thunder Monarch's face as he said, "Li Shuanghua, are you still going to be stubborn? Moreover, my ideologies are different from arrogant people like you.

"In my opinion, the path of martial arts is one in which one can submit or assert themselves in different situations. Being able to bear with various setbacks and failures, as well as being able to admit one's weakness, is what it truly means to have a powerful will.

"If one can't even accept the tiniest bit of failure, leaving behind flaws just because of a single loss, then a will like that is what it truly means to be weak. To not lose heart despite repeated failures, and to not regret despite having to go through multiple deaths 1 ... Do you really understand the meaning behind these words?"

Fang Yuehe took over and continued speaking, "Mother, admit your defeat. After all, it doesn't matter how much you brag about it. Because no matter what you say, we can kill you easily right now. You don't even have the right to escape. This is reality.

Or do you think that the Black Mage King or Fang Xingchen will be able to save you? Considering Xingjian's current battle prowess and how the Black Mage King won't be able to tap into diabolic energy in Demonic City, it would be impossible for the Black Mage King to win.

"As for Fang Xingchen... Why don't you open your eyes to take a look at Xingjian's current cultivation? Fang Xingchen's aptitude won't be able to be a match for Xingjian even if he were to come chasing after him on a horse. Do you still not understand this?"

Li Shuanghua did not say a single word and remained expressionless, as though she could not be bothered continuing the argument with them. It was also as if there was nothing which could affect her decisions.

Chapter 513: Kneeling Down

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Just then, Fang Xingjian spoke again, "Third Uncle, do the two of you wish to keep your lives? If you're willing to mend your ways, turn over a new leaf, apologize to me... and if you can persuade Li Shuanghua to lower her head as well, I can consider giving you a way out."

The expression in Fang Yueming's gaze changed instantly, revealing a strong sense of hesitation. Although he now had neither extraordinary strength nor authority, it was still good to be able to remain alive. This was especially when Despot's and the Thunder Monarch's examples had just been shown to him so clearly. Fang Yueming was really terrified.

Li Meimei did not think about it too much and quickly pulled Fang Yueming to kneel down together with her as she said, "Xingjian, your talent is astonishing, and you've even shaken the entire world single-handedly with a single sword.

"We were short-sighted previously and could not recognize the majesty of Mount Tai. We were wrong to have looked down on you. Please be magnanimous and let us off this once. From today onward, we'll definitely repent on our ways and provide our full assistance to you."

The Fang Clan's third son, Fang Yueming, bellowed angrily, "What on earth are you saying?! Are you crazy?! Even if you don't mind the shame, I do!"

Li Meimei shouted as well, "Fang Yueming, you useless bum! It really is my bad luck of eight generations to have gotten married to you. You've been listening to what your mom said for your entire life, revolving your life around her. Just who exactly is your wife, her or me?

"This old lady has now gone crazy and wants to die. I don't want to be brought down together with her."

"You..." Fang Yueming looked at his own wife like he was looking at a stranger.

Li Meimei pulled Fang Yueming to make him stay kneeled down on the floor. She cried out, "Fang Yueming, can you be a man for once? Even Lord Thunder Monarch and Lord Despot have both submitted, yet you still want me to die together with you and your mother?"

Fang Yueming's expression kept changing. To begin with, he was a profligate son, and he was extremely fearful of death. However, when facing Fang Xingjian, he could never get himself to lower his stance.

However, after the Thunder Monarch, the Despot, and his wife submitted to Fang Xingjian in succession, he could no longer hold it in anymore.

Fang Yueming looked at Li Shuanghua and said, "Mother, the situation really is now set into stone. Why don't you just apologize? Moreover, no matter what, Xingjian is a member of our Fang Clan. If you're able to admit your wrongs and join forces with him, our Fang Clan will be the strongest clan on Earth. Haven't you always wanted to bring prosperity to our Fang Clan?"

"Shut up!" Li Shuanghua's eyes opened wide, and a rage, which was like nothing before, was burning in her eyes.

Even when Li Shuanghua had been defeated by Fang Xingjian previously and when she had her cultivation sealed up, there had never been such rage in her eyes. However, right now, even her youngest son whom she doted on the most had spoken up to persuade her to submit to Fang Xingjian. This filled up her will with great rage.

Li Shuanghua glared at Fang Yueming and said, "You defiant son! Are you also going to turn to this vile spawn Fang Xingjian and rebel against our Fang Clan? If he threatens you, then you should be demonstrating your will with death, not giving in even if he kills you!"

Hua Meimei shouted, "Mother! Yueming is your son! If you really dote on him, then just apologize to Xingjian. Do you really want to see your own son get killed?"

"Shut up, b*tch!" Li Shuanghua wanted to stand up and dash over to kill Hua Meimei, but her physical body was so weak now that she was about the same as an ordinary person. However, it took Fang Xingjian merely a single thought to stop her actions, rendering her unable to move. When Fang Xingjian saw this scene, he felt a strong exhilaration in his heart, and his mental cultivation method flowed increasingly smoother, as if all the negative emotions in his heart had been cleared up.

"You b*tch. As of today, you're expelled from the Fang Clan, and you're no longer a member of our Fang Clan. When I get out of this place, you'll be the first one to be killed by my hands."

Fang Clan's second son, Fang Yuehe, shook his head, "Mother, you're still thinking of getting out?"

Fang Yuehe had long since been completely disappointed by his mother's biased personality and stubbornness. At this moment, he pointed at his third brother and his wife, saying, "Mother, do you know that you've been too great of a failure in your management of the Fang Clan? In our process of taking over the Fang Clan, we haven't run into a hint of resistance at all. Everyone has long been against your rule, but we have just been suppressed by your overwhelming power.

"Look, even Third Brother, whom you doted on the most, wishes to go against you. Right now, you've been forsaken by everyone around you. Do you still not understand whether your way of doing things all these years is right or wrong?"

Every single muscle throughout Li Shuanghua's entire body started to tense up, and the will in her mind was being activated wildly. Although she was in so much pain that her expression appeared twisted, she was still summoning her strength madly, wanting to break out from Fang Xingjian's restrictions.

"You defiant son! Do you really think that you guys have gained the upper hand? As long as you don't kill me, I'll get out of this place one day. Then I'll suppress all of you and reform the Fang Clan!"

Fang Xingjian looked at Li Shuanghua's savage expression and felt extremely exhilarated. His mental cultivation method circulated faster and faster, and his mastery rose rapidly, showing signs of being able to attain another breakthrough. "Take them away."

Fang Yueming and Hua Meimei were taken away by the guards. At this moment, both Fang Yuemimg and Hua Meimei were truly anxious. Seeing that they were dragged out by the guards, Fang Yueming shouted out nervously, "Xingjian! Xingjian! Don't kill me! Please, I beg of you! As long as you're willing to let me off, I'll definitely be able to get the old lady to lower her head!

"Right now, she's but a cripple. If you allow me to put her through torture everyday and feed her with faeces, she'll definitely give in!"

Hua Meimei also shouted frantically, "Li Shuanghua, you old hag! Are you really going to just watch as your son and your daughter-in-law die like this? You old hag! Quickly kowtow to Fang Xingjian and apologize!"

Fang Xingjian smiled and said to Li Shuanghua, "Li Shuanghua, you're really a failure as a person. You can't even discipline your own child."

At this moment, Li Shuanghua seemed to have completely entered a calm state and said with indifference, "I'll just take it that I never had defiant children like these. As for my martial will, you can forget about getting me to lower my head before you, not even if you kill me."

"Of course, I won't kill you so easily. I'll only think of it as a victory after I get you to completely submit and lower your head before me." With that Fang Xingjian waved his hand and got the guards to leave Fang Yueming and Hua Meimei behind. He said, "Since you aren't willing to admit your mistakes no matter what, then I can only use violence to get you to submit."

As he spoke, Fang Xingjian had already brought Li Shuanghua, Fang Yuehe, Fang Yueming, and Hua Meimei to the Fang Clan's ancestral hall.

Looking at the spirit tablets before them, Fang Xingjian said nonchalantly, "Over two years ago, it was here that you used violence to force me to kneel. You threatened me, wanting for me to give up my freedom and become Fang Xingchen's slave for life.

"Li Shuanghua, how do you think I compare against Fang Xingchen with my achievements today?"

Li Shuanghua remained silent, and Fang Xingjian said, "Right now, my talent and cultivation are over 10,000 times more powerful than Fang Xingchen's. Li Shuanghua, these sons and that grandchild you brought up are nothing but a bunch of useless crap when compared with me. Do you still not understand?

"Two years ago, you tried to force me with violence. Today, I shall use violence to get you to repent and atone for your sins."

As he spoke, Fang Xingjian waved his hand. The air flowed and pushed Li Shuanghua right before the spirit tablet of Fang Xingjian's mother, Fang Yueru.

"Li Shuanghua, today, you can first kneel down to my mother and admit your mistakes. Repent and atone for your sins."

Looking at this scene, Li Shuanghua finally could not hold it in anymore, "B*stard, you want me to kneel down to this defiant daughter? Is your mother able to accept me kneeling before her? Aren't you afraid that she'll be overcome with anger in the netherworld?"

Chapter 514: Admitting Defeat

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Fang Xingjian shook his head. "Stubborn as a mule." As he spoke, he slammed his palm down, using his pure physical strength to compress the air. It was as if there was an invisible palm pressing Li Shuanghua down onto her knees.

Li Shuanghua was forced to kneel down with a bang, and her face turned into a purplish-red color like that of pork liver. Streams of green light kept on being emitted from her body, as if wanting to break through the restriction.

Looking at the state she was in, Fang Xingjian let out a cold laugh and shook his wrist. Tyrant immediately pounced forth and encompassed her body. He seeped slowly into Li Shuanghua's body, engulfing it ceaselessly.

"You... You b*stard!" Li Shuanghua could sense that her body was being engulfed ceaselessly. It must be known that Tyrant had only just engulfed the body of a Divine level expert. Although the Despot had suffered from serious injuries and had not been able to summon any of his powers, his physical attributes had remained unchanged. Tyrant received a great amount of nutrition from consuming the Despot.

As her body was slowly being engulfed by Tyrant, Li Shuanghua's martial will continued to turn into part of her physical body to make up for the loss. When she realized that her martial will was being depleted at a rapid rate, there was finally bewilderment in her eyes.

"Do you think I'm unaware that you've been trying to accumulate your power all this while, wanting to break through my sword intent?

"Today, I'll remove all of your cultivation completely. You'll be able to focus on repenting and apologizing to my mother every day in peace."

As Fang Xingjian spoke, he tapped out a finger across space, and a stream of sword intent came slashing down once again. This time around, Li Shuanghua felt that she had completely lost control over her own martial will. It was like a surging river, seeping out of her body incessantly to try and make up for the loss her body was suffering from.

However, Li Shuanghua's body continued to be engulfed by Tyrant. This meant that the power of her martial will was being depleted non-stop.

In the blink of her eye, her will had depleted rapidly, and there was now lesser and lesser of it. In the end, her will was even weaker than that of an ordinary person, and her physical body had deteriorated to a state where she now looked like a 80-year-old person.

By this time, even if Fang Xingjian were to remove the sword intent restriction he had left on her, Li Shuanghua would still have to cultivate again from scratch for her to get back her cultivation.

At the next instant, Tyrant moved away from her. He had just managed to absorb a large amount of flesh and blood from two Divine level experts. Although the physical body of a magic prints Warrior was a far cry from that of a Knight, it was still a great nourishment for him.

Fang Xingjian tapped out with his finger, shooting out three consecutive sword intents and leaving them in Li Shuanghua's body. If any martial will were to appear in her body, it would be dispersed by these three streams of sword intent.

From this day onward, Li Shuanghua's cultivation was truly lost. She was now no different from an ordinary old lady.

At this moment, Li Shuanghua, who was down on her knees, seemed to have aged by 30 years, and her eyes were filled with despondence.

Fang Xingjian looked toward Fang Yueming and Hua Meimei, saying, "Why aren't the two of you helping her to kowtow and admit her wrongdoings?"

"Yes, yes." Fang Yueming nodded and bowed submissively. "Leave it all to us."

As Fang Yueming spoke, he and his wife were already pressing Li Shuanghua down from both sides. They then pushed down her head to force her to kowtow while kneeling.

Fang Yueming shouted, "Xingjian, don't worry. Leave this old lady to us in the future. We'll guarantee that she'll sincerely kowtow to Eldest Sister and admit her wrongdoings three times a day, in the morning, afternoon, and at night."

Li Shuanghua was so angry that she was trembling. In the end, droplets of tears trickled down from the corners of her eyes.

In this moment, with her strength lost and martial will crushed, she was even forced by the youngest son, whom she had doted on the most, to kneel down before her deceased eldest daughter.

Li Shuanghua's world finally collapsed completely in this instant. Her eyes expressed that there was no grief greater than despair.

Li Shuanghua looked at Fang Yueru's spirit tablet and laughed in despair. "Fang Yueru, you defiant daughter. You really got yourself a great son. My son is no match for yours. It's my loss."

Fang Xingjian shook his head and left the Fang Clan's main residence.

Behind him, Hua Meimei landed a slap on Li Shuanghua's face. She then pressed down on Li Shuanghua's head, sending it banging toward the ground. "You old hag! What are you going on about? Quickly admit your wrongdoings and apologize!"

Over the next few days, Fang Yueming and Hua Meimei continuously pressed Li Shuanghua's head pressed down onto the ground , forcing her to kowtow.

Faced with Li Shuanghua's unwillingness to submit, Fang Yueming and Hua Meimei would resort to either violence and reprimands at every single chance. Right now, they were already venting all of their frustrations onto Li Shuanghua.

Even if Li Shuanghua refused to eat, they would pry her mouth open and force the food down her throat.

They did this especially because Fang Xingjian was still in Demonic City. Both Fang Yueming and Hua Meimei were afraid that if they were to slack in the slightest, they would be killed by Fang Xingjian. Therefore, they continued to pressure Li Shuanghua day and night.

When the servants came across Li Shuanghua, they too were full of contempt, sneering and throwing her cold looks. Li Shuanghua had been too harsh with the clan's regulations in the past. She had dealt punishments over the smallest issues, and she had even caused the deaths and injuries of countless maids and female attendants.

Countless people secretly harbored feelings of hatred toward her. Now that she was crippled of her cultivation... Although the servants did not do much at the beginning, some of them started stepping all over her after one or two days.

There were even outsiders of the Fang Clan who would secretly sneak into the Fang Clan's ancestral hall to watch Li Shuanghua old and pitiful state, where she had no means of resisting in the least.

It had only been a few days' time, but Li Shuanghua felt as if it was longer that the entire lifetime she had been through. Waves of humiliation and the feeling of having been dropped from the tallest peak to the lowest point, the feelings of despair expressed in her eyes grew increasingly stronger. Li Shuanghua entered the lowest point in her entire life.

One night, when Fang Yueming and Hua Meimei were deep asleep, Li Shuanghua took out a long piece of cloth. Then she walked over and stood below the eaves.

Behind her, Fang Xingjian stood in the shadows without saying a word.

The next morning, Fang Yuehe came to the highest story of the Fang Clan's building and reported, "Xingjian, Li Shuanghua committed suicide by hanging last night."

Fang Xingjian spoke nonchalantly, "Let her have a proper burial. Oh, one more thing. As a Divine level expert of her generation, she needs to have a few companions in death."

Fang Yuehe's countenance changed into one of shock. "You're saying..."

"Fang Yueming and Hua Meimei have committed too many acts of evil. My heart won't be able to be at ease if I keep them alive."

"I understand."

At this moment, the Fang Clan's matters had completely come to an end. Fang Xingjian felt as if his mind was completely at peace, and his mental cultivation method was being circulated to an extreme speed. A silver light was expanding in his mind.

The Universal Sword Dominance Lunisolar mental cultivation method finally stepped into level 10 at this moment.

At the next instant, Fang Xingjian opened his eyes. There seemed to be silver light shining out from his eyes as he said to Fang Yuehe calmly, "Prepare to start the nuclear experiments tomorrow."

During this period of time when Fang Xingjian was handling the matters on Earth, a huge change occurred in Miracle World.

At midnight on the 1st of March.

Up in the night sky of Miracle World, trillions of starlights lit up concurrently for the entire night and then disappeared once again.

In the mountain range located to the north of the Empire, the First Prince looked at the starlights in the sky and laughed out loud, "Rivers of stars ascends, and the world undergoes a metamorphosis. It really is as I've calculated. Today is a good day for me to break through to the Divine level."

Countless experts, both inside and outside of the mountain range, dropped to their knees. Then streams of aura soared into the air, turning all the living creatures within 100 li into dust. At the next moment, shouts which were like earthquakes and tsunamis gushed forth.

"Wishing Your Highness domination over the entire world for generations to come!

"Wishing Your Highness domination over the entire world for generations to come!

"Wishing Your Highness domination over the entire world for generations to come!"

The First Prince shut his eyes together tightly, and streams of aura, which were like sulfur from hell, extended out from his body. It was as if they were gradually materializing.

"With the seventh onslaught getting closer and closer, the time of the world's metamorphosis that I've been waiting for has finally arrived. The path to progress has opened up, and a torrential era is going to be born. Countless experts, heroes, and sovereigns will appear out of nowhere."

The First Prince revealed an excited smile as many sparks representing his great ambitions lit up in his eyes. "It will be proven that I'm truly the strongest."

Chapter 515: Faraway

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

The Mage Association's headquarters was located in Phantom City, the capital of the Uranlis Federation which was on the shores of Miracle World's Western Sea.

At the center of the city, all the buildings were shrouded in a thin layer of fog.

Unlike Sky City which was the Empire's capital, Phantom City where the Mage Association was located was said to have been transferred to an alternate dimension. Although one could see it and hear it, without permission, one would never be able to enter it.

The tallest tower, which was over 1,000 meters tall, was located at the center of the Phantom City. This tower was the Magic Tower where the Black Mage King, the top expert in the Mage Association, was located.

Right now, Fang Xingchen, who was from the Fang Clan's third generation, was kneeling on the ground. After being tested to have the aptitude to become a Red Robed Mage, Fang Xingchen had become the disciple of the Black Mage King and had been cultivating in the Phantom City for the past two years.

Fang Xingchen, who was only about six years old, appeared to have grown to take on the appearance of a kid who was about 13 or 14 years of age. He now had a height of 1.5 meters, and he had also developed strong muscles.

In particular, his face looked mature and made it impossible for one to tell that he was only six years old.

There were now two small bumps on his forehead as if there were things nurturing inside them. It was clear that for the past two years, his training in the black magic of a Red Robed had progressed tremendously.

Right now, Fang Xingchen was kneeling on the floor, and his eyes were flashing with deeply rooted feelings of vengeance. "Master, my parents and grandmother were all forced to their deaths by that b*stard, Fang Xingjian. Please kill Fang Xingjian and help me take revenge."

Right in front of Fang Xingchen, there was an old man whose body appeared thin and dried up like a set of skeletons. The old man was seated in a rocking chair, rocking to and fro.

Hearing Fang Xingchen's words, the old man said slowly, "Xingchen, I won't take action for things like these.

"You want me to step out to deal with a mere Fang Xingjian, a b*stard kid who hasn't even attained the Divine level? What a foolish thought. Others would laugh if news of this were to spread.

"The most important thing in this world is one's reputation. If one is shamed and thus no longer has a strong heart and will, he won't be able to achieve anything in his cultivation."

Fang Xingchen lifted his head, seemingly unable to accept this, and protested, "But..."

The Black Mage King frowned, slapped the chair, and said, "Isn't it just the death of your parents? When I came out to explore the world at the age of ten, my entire family had been thrown into the river to feed the fish. Am I not still perfectly fine?

"If you want to exact revenge, then train yourself to reach greater heights. In another few years' time, you can press down on that b*stard's head and feed him faeces. This is how things should work."

Fang Xingchen lowered his head with a grim expression. It was clear that he was dissatisfied with this outcome.

Just then, a stream of gray fog seeped in slowly from the windows, forming a lump that faintly seemed to be the form of a human figure.

The Black Mage King's eyes shook a little, and the scar on his face that was like a centipede appeared increasingly savage. "Gray Worm? You aren't dead yet? You still dare to come to my place? Aren't you afraid that Silver Lunatic will chop you up?"

The person who had just arrived was one of the top notch characters amongst the Gray Robed Mages. He was the Worm King, a Gray Robed Mage and member of the Terrene Shrine's upper echelon who worked from the background.

Hearing what the Black Mage King said, the gray fog shivered a little and turned into an extremely large and ugly worm. He grinned and said, "It has been many years since we last met, but you're still as ugly as ever. The person Silver Lunatic wants to kill the most right now is probably you. He has no time to come and cause me trouble.

"The world's metamorphosis is coming, and the density of ether particles will be increasing by thousands or even ten thousands times. Cultivation speed will get increasingly faster, and the true path to what lies after the Divine level will be opening up soon. There'll be many more experts emerging from those people from the Church of Universal Truth."

"You're here to tell me about these?" The Black Mage King said with a cold smile. "When has our Mage Association been afraid of them? What on earth are you here for? If you still aren't going to say it, then I'll crush you, this worm, to death."

The Worm King's embodiment smiled as he said, "Fang Xingjian is from Earth, right? He killed quite a number of our people. I'm just here to ask one thing. Is he related to you guys?"

Hearing the name, 'Fang Xingjian', a hint of light flashed in Fang Xingchen's eyes. The Black Mage King shook his head and said, "You want to lay your hands on him? He isn't one of us and just came running over from Earth on his own. He seems to be of mixed blood of someone from Earth and someone from Miracle World. He has the body of someone from Miracle World and has even cultivated the Empire's path of Knights."

The gray worm revealed a satisfied smile. "I understand. Then we won't hold back anymore."

The Black Mage King said in disdain, "He's in Demonic City right now. You Gray Robed Mages are useless without diabolic energy. If you head to Demonic City, you may just be rounded up and killed by him."

"Hmph, I don't need you to tell me that. Of course, we have our ways."

"Then scram."

In the extreme north of Miracle World, passing by the plains of the Steel Lion Kingdom and then passing by the Markecel Papal State, there was where the frosty country, Manjaar, was located.

Manjaar's rule was unlike the governing structure that the Empire's royal family used to reign over the regions which ruled over the cities. It was also unlike the Federation system the Mage Association had, the free and unrestricted style of the Steel Lion Kingdom, and the slavery system in the Sand Country. Additionally, it was even more different from the religion based Papal State.

Manjaar, a country that was located in the frost, continued to have a primitive tribal structure.

The Chief of all the tribes was called King Manjaar.

This generation's King Manjaar was Netherwolf Zack, from the Frostwolf Tribe.

Right now, inside the Frostwolf Tribe, a silver-haired man was laying next to the bonfire, silently watching the meat grilling above the fire.

The silver-haired man appeared to be about 30 to 40 years of age. His skin was smooth, and he looked strong with a long and slender figure. Additionally, his eyes reflected endless vicissitudes of life.

Beside him was Manjaar's strongest expert and the current King Manjaar, Netherwolf Zack who had attained Divine level over 20 years ago. He was on his knees, helping the silver-haired man grill his meat while wearing an extremely respectful expression.

Suddenly, the tent was opened, and a young man with short silver hair walked in, accompanied by a strong stench of blood. The smell seemed to have turned into something material, wanting to enter everyone's noses.

Upon smelling this stench of blood, Netherwolf was almost on the verge of breakdown. He looked at the young man with short silver hair and asked, "What did you do?!"

The young man with short silver hair did not look at him but turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Master, I've killed all those who deserves to die."

The middle-aged man nodded. Beside him, Zack shouted in fury, "Who are you guys?! Who on earth are you guys? Why are you bathing my Frostwolf Tribe in blood?!"

Right now, the unrivalled Netherwolf, who had ruled over the entire ice plains, was wearing an expression of despair and fury.

He had been happily enjoying a hunt with a few Elders and Priests when these two people descended before them.

The middle-aged man had not made a move. The young man was the only one who had attacked consecutively, defeating all of the Frostwolf Tribe's Elders and Priests.

As the strongest expert of the ice plains, the Netherwolf had not been able to withstand a single punch.

With himself included, a total of three Divine level experts and over 20 warriors at level 29 had not even been able to withstand a mere greeting from the other party.

Hearing the Netherwolf's howl, the silver-haired middle-aged man threw him a sideward glance and said, "When your Frostwolf Tribe engages in battles with other tribes, it's a matter of survival of the fittest. Therefore, I won't care about it.

"However, one month ago, after you guys defeated the Shadowwolf Tribe, you did not just massacre their warriors. You people even raped the women and children, killed the pregnant ladies, tortured the young girls, and even dug out the fetuses in the women's stomachs, piercing them to death.

"The entire Shadowwolf Tribe was turned into a state of hell in the mortal world. This made me very unhappy.

"It made me... very upset.

"If you guys aren't killed, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

The silver-haired middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Your actions lack tact."

Chapter 516: Explosion

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

King Manjaar was stunned. He had not expected that the other party had come knocking on their door for something like this.

"Just because of this? Just because of something like this? You've killed so many of our Frostwolf Tribe's Elders and Priests... Do you want to annihilate our Frostwolf Tribe?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Everyone who has made a move on the Shadowwolf Tribe has all died. I didn't kill the rest. Of course, if other tribes were to bully your tribe, we wouldn't stand by and do nothing either."

However, King Manjaar was no longer taking in what the other guy was saying.

"Ahh!"

King Manjaar let out a furious bellow, and a huge phantom image of a wolf rose from his back. This was the Heavenly Disaster Wolf, condensed from his martial will. It was something which had been passed down in the Frostwolf Tribe for many generations.

With King Manjaar's cultivation, the Heavenly Disaster Wolf, which was condensed from his martial will, was fully capable of bringing about earthquakes, gales, tsunamis, or even causing volcanoes to erupt.

If he were to attack at full power, he would even be able to directly contaminate his opponent's martial will and weaken their abilities.

In the past, King Manjaar had once crushed over 100 second transition experts with a wolf howl from his Heavenly Disaster Wolf. He had even used its aura of heavenly disasters to weaken the will of a Demigod with two tiers of perfection, causing his opponent's cultivation to regress to level 20.

Even amongst the many Divine level experts on the ice plains, King Manjaar and his Heavenly Disaster Wolf were considered to be one of the best.

The phantom image of the Heavenly Disaster Wolf let out a furious bellow, bringing about an endless heavenly disaster aura, then he pounced toward the silver-haired middle-aged man.

Before he even reached, the strong gales he created had already sent the entire tent flying.

The earth started to quake.

Tornadoes blew in the skies.

The area within 100 li was filled with lightning strikes and windstorms.

There were even cracks forming in the ground, spurting out streams of lava.

Many natural disasters had emerged. In such a desperate situation, streams of will that one could neither fend off nor withstand gushed forth.

However, faced with King Manjaar's all out attack, the silver-haired middle-aged man merely pouted his lips, spurting out a mouthful of saliva.

The saliva spurted out like lightning, striking and dissipating the Heavenly Disaster Wolf's body. King Manjaar's physical body also exploded, then it continued to fly out several tens of kilometers away, crushing an entire mountain in the far distance.

The martial will contained in the saliva even crushed King Manjaar's will, killing this Divine level expert completely.

Then the windstorm came to a stop, and the earth stopped its quake. Yet, the silver-haired middle-aged man merely wiped his mouth as if he had just killed an ant.

However, he suddenly stood up, lifted his head, and looked toward the southwest direction with a puzzled expression.

The short-haired young man asked curiously, "Master, what's wrong?"

The silver-haired middle-aged man broke into a hint of a smile. "Someone's mental cultivation method has reached level 10."

"Huh?" The short-haired young man asked puzzledly. "Isn't our mental cultivation method only passed down to one person in each generation? Why is there another person who knows about it now?"

The silver-haired middle-aged man first appeared puzzled and then confused. In the end, he merely smiled and shook his head. "This is interesting. He should have been your disciple, but someone did something, and now, he's going to surpass you instead."

"Huh? Then what should we do?" The short-haired young man asked.

"What else can I do? Wait till he comes to the ice plains, the two of you can then fight it out then. The one who wins will be the Master."

"What if he isn't willing?"

"We have always been the type of people who win people over through virtue. You'll just have to beat him up till he is willing to accept this."

"But we still have to wait for him here..." The short-haired young man felt vexed. "Can't we be the ones to head over?"

The silver-haired middle-aged man shook his head, and a hint of nostalgic flashed in his eyes. "I promised someone that unless he's dead, I'll never take a step out of the ice plains."

Elsewhere, just as various changes were occurring in Miracle World, Fang Xingjian also started his training on Earth.

In the desert to the northwest of Xin Country, Fang Xingjian stood several tens of kilometers high up in the air by himself, looking down at the ground which had a circular shape.

'The matters with the Fang Clan have finally been settled.

'Next, I'll be dealing with the matters in Miracle World.

'I must settle matters with the First Prince, and I also want to annihilate the Terrene Shrine.

'And...'

He then thought of his mother's corpse which the black-clothed man had taken away. Although he felt a little anxious, he felt that the black-clothed man did not harbor any ill intentions toward him.

Moreover, regardless of whether it was the First Prince, the Terrene Shrine, or even the unfathomable black-clothed man... Fang Xingjian would require great power to get in contact with them and resolve everything.

So, right now, the most important thing for him to do was cultivate.

'I'll first train up my physical particles to perfection through nuclear explosions.'

In Xin Country's command base, Fang Yuehe, Tyrant, and a few of Xin Country's and the Federation's generals had gathered together. They each wore different expressions as they looked at the Fang Xingjian displayed on the screen.

"Operation 312 is officially beginning. Starting the first nuclear explosion."

"The missile with a yield of 0.5 megatons has been fully loaded."

"Preparation for Southern Wind 41 is complete."

Fang Yuehe watched with a worrying expression as the preparations for the intercontinental ballistic missile were made. After all, Fang Xingjian had now become the greatest pillar in the Fang Clan. Additionally, although many clans in the Federation appeared as if they were in submission to him, there were many people who were secretly waiting for the chance to make their move.

Fang Yuehe could imagine that if anything were to happen to Fang Xingjian, countless hungry wolves would pounced forth, swallowing the entire Fang Clan whole till there was nothing left of it.

He could not understand why Fang Xingjian had to undergo this nuclear missile experiment. It would be good if there were no dangers, but if some accidents were to occur, it would be extremely bad for them.

At the next moment, the intercontinental ballistic missile was launched into the sky. It pierced through the cloud layers at Mach 2 speed and went straight toward Fang Xingjian.

Simultaneously, as it struck Fang Xingjian, the nuclear missile exploded. The missile, with a yield of 0.5 megatons, was a far cry from one with a yield of 50 megatons. However, the shock waves, heat, and radiation which had exploded in that instant were still very terrifying. In particular, the high temperatures and high level of pressure in the center were sufficient to render every material thing in human civilization into dust.

However, Fang Xingjian's body toughness was now comparable to that of a level 29 Divine Weapon, and he still had the protection from the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor. When he was in danger, he could even perform Infiltrating Void and hide between spatial gaps. Fang Xingjian was not afraid of being struck by nuclear missiles at all.

Compared to the damaging force of nuclear missiles, Fang Xingjian was more concerned about how the various radiations from the nuclear missiles would stimulate the physical particles within his body.

Under the violent gush of the energy, Fang Xingjian could sense endless radiation and corpuscular flow striking against the physical particles in his body. Under such stimulation, the physical particles in his body started to awake, just like how many candles were being lit up.

This continued on for about 0.1 seconds. Fang Xingjian felt as if his physical body had reached its limit and was about to breakdown. Therefore, he performed Infiltrating Void and entered the spatial gaps, comprehending the changes to the physical particles in his body.

About 20 minutes later, an explosive bellow rang out across the skies, completely pushing away the mushroom cloud from the nuclear explosion, and revealing Fang Xingjian's unscathed body.

After being blasted once, Fang Xingjian could already sense that 200 physical particles had awakened in his body.

In terms of prowess, a nuclear missile with a yield of 0.5 megatons was definitely a far cry from one with a yield of 50 megatons. However, what Fang Xingjian needed right now was neither the high temperature nor high pressure. What he needed was the nuclear radiation. A missile with a yield of 0.5 megaton would allow him to be encompassed by the nuclear radiations for a longer period of time.

Therefore, a nuclear missile with a yield of 0.5 megatons was more suitable for him, and its effect would be better as well.

Surges of majestic power exploded from the physical particles, filling up his body both inside and outside. They formed streams of electricity and moved around his body.

'Nuclear missiles contained the profoundness of the microscopic world, and physical particles are also things in Miracle World.

'Because I've inherited the bloodline of Miracle World and have the physical structure of the people in Miracle World, my body is formed by 1.08 billion physical particles.

'Nuclear explosions are the released power from the microscopic world, and they can stimulate the explosions of the physical particles. It's just like opening a brand new world, establishing the small worlds in the physical particles inside my body.

'There's no problem. As long as I can avoid injuries when I experience each explosion, I will be able to make use of nuclear explosions for my cultivation and stimulate all 1.08 billion physical particles.'

This was not the extent of it. For Fang Xingjian, a nuclear explosion with a yield of 0.5 megatons was actually easier to control, and it would also have less impact on the environment and the geomagnetic fields. It would deal less damage on electronic devices and also cause lesser societal unrest.

Chapter 517: Three Months

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Streams of thoughts flashed past very quickly in Fang Xingjian's mind. The next moment, he had already opened his eyes and put up an OK hand sign toward the sky.

After seeing Fang Xingjian's signal through the satellites, Fang Yuehe nodded and said, "Continue. Shoot out another nuclear missile with a yield of 0.5 megatons."

Just like that, Fang Xingjian put up with the blasts from nuclear missiles time and time again. More and more physical particles were stimulated in his body, and strength surged throughout his body like roaring mountains and howling seas.

As the power which exploded from the physical particles continued to grow, Fang Xingjian felt somewhat unaccustomed to it. This caused waves of radiations to burst forth incessantly from his body, forming many circles of light.

At the beginning, there were many clans observing Fang Xingjian's nuclear experiments. When they heard that the missiles Fang Xingjian used were with a yield of 0.5 megatons, they did not think much of it.

After all, Li Shuanghua had even managed to withstand a nuclear missile with a yield of 50 megatons previously, so what did missiles with a yield of 0.5 megatons matter?

However, after watching how Fang Xingjian come out unscathed after being struck with missile after missile, all of them slowly started to feel astonished.

After one day and one night, over 1,000 nuclear missiles had exploded on Fang Xingjian's body. As such, all the clans who were observing this scene had started to feel stricken with terror.

Just then, the nuclear explosions stopped. However, it was not because Fang Xingjian could not take it anymore. Instead, it was because the large amount of nuclear radiations and corpuscular flow had caused serious damage to the earth and destroyed a tremendous number of electronic devices.

There had been far too many nuclear explosions, which had impacted Fang Xingjian's surroundings despite him staying several tens of kilometers high up in the sky.

Therefore, from then on, Fang Xingjian changed the methods. Since any form of nuclear radiation would be able to stimulate the physical particles in his body, he went to the greatest nuclear power plant there was. He did not wear any protective clothing and went straight next to the reactor.

In order to get a deeper impact from the reactor, he performed Infiltrating Void directly and then entered the internal part of the nuclear reactor. Then he started to experience the chain reaction from the nuclear fission.

Corpuscular flow smashed crazily against Fang Xingjian's body, and his physical particles were awakened one after another, releasing surging energy currents.

As the amount of power Fang Xingjian could utilize increased, the prowess of his sword arts cultivation got increasingly stronger although his physical body had not improved by much.

Amidst the five tiers of perfection, the toughness of one's body determined the defense capabilities of one's physical body.

Specialty seeds determined the physical body's strength.

Brain regeneration determined the body's recovery abilities, calculative abilities, and the power of one's will.

Ether organs determined the amount of information and energy one could accept from ether particles. They also affected one's energy recovery abilities as well as one's observation skills.

As for the number of physical particles, that determined when one's skills would be unleashed explosively. The more stimulated physical particles there were and the more power one stored up day by day, the greater the unleashed prowess from their techniques would be.

The more tiers of perfection one achieved, the better one's body would be developed. So, when it was time to strive to attain the Divine level, the power one had when their consciousness materialized would be even stronger.

Now that Fang Xingjian had more power to activate his sword techniques, the prowess of his Five God-Slashing Sword would be even more powerful than before.

For the Infiltrating Void, the area of the spatial gaps one he could enter would be wider, and his speed of entering the gaps would be faster.

For the Light Pursuit sword ripples, Fang Xingjian could now perform nine million streams of Light Pursuit sword ripples at once.

For the All-Conquering sword, Fang Xingjian could now create a valley that was over ten kilometers long. He could also wipe out a nuclear missile with a yield of 0.5 megatons with a single sword.

For the Instant, the area it could reach now broke through 100 meters and reached 120 meters.

However, Fang Xingjian was clearly still not satisfied with these. So, he had gone straight into the reactor and ha not come out since. The physical particles in his body increased crazily at rocket speed. It was only when his physical body could not take it anymore that he came out to take a break.

1,000... 10,000... 10,000... one million... ten million... In just one day, the number of physical particles which had been awakened in Fang Xingjian's body had already reached ten million.

However, compared to the total of 1.08 billion physical particles, ten million was still far too little. Therefore, over the next few days, Fang Xingjian would spend his time in the reactor almost everyday. His physical body was incessantly subjected to impacts from various nuclear radiations and light radiations, causing his power to rise tremendously at rocket speed.

In the end, Fang Xingjian even pulled Tyrant in together with him to condense physical particles through the reactor.

Tyrant was originally a Demigod who had attained two tiers of perfection to begin with, and he had even engulfed the corpse of two Divine level experts recently. Right now, his five great attributes had already attained a breakthrough to 500 points. Although his martial will was still multiple times weaker than Fang Xingjian's, his physical body was multiple times stronger than Fang Xingjian's.

Having entered the nuclear reactor, along with Fang Xingjian performing Infiltrating Void occasionally to help out in their training, Tyrant's cultivation improved at a tremendous rate.

Just like that, the two of them stayed in the reactor for three months.

Three months later, even though Fang Yuehe had become the wielder of power in the Fang Clan, as well as a top notch character in the world, he was now waiting quietly at the entrance of the nuclear power plant.

Concurrently, amidst the countless mountains and endless stretch of skies, as well as on the ground, many magic prints Warriors stayed hidden as if they were all waiting for Fang Xingjian. They had been waiting curiously at the nuclear power plant for the entire three months, wanting to know what on earth had happened.

After a really long time, the door to the nuclear power plant opened slowly, and two silhouettes walked out. However, when Fang Yuehe saw the two of them, he broke into an astonished expression.

Fang Xingjian's and Tyrant's hair had grown to a very long length. However, their heads of hair were unlike those of ordinary people which draped down their shoulders. Instead, Fang Xingjian's and Tyrant's heads of hair were floating up like flames burning on the tops of their heads.

The stranger thing was that as their heads of hair fluttered like flames, they themselves were emitting a white glow.

From afar, it was as if white flames were burning ceaselessly on their heads.

The two of them were also exuding streams of faint white light, with hints of thin electric currents exploding outside their bodies.

Looking at the two people who continued to emit light, Fang Yuehe's mouth was agape as he asked, "You... What's the matter with the two of you?"

Tyrant did not say anything, while Fang Xingjian replied, "The energy is too strong, and we keep unleashing radiation. I think we'll probably need to take a few weeks to get accustomed to it."

Fang Xingjian threw a glance toward Fang Yuehe and said, "Go ahead with the preparations. I won't be staying on Earth for long before I head back to Miracle World."

Elsewhere on the shores of the Miracle World's Western Sea, at an area close to the where the two worlds overlapped, there were nine Gray Robed Mages standing silently in midair, looking down at the seawater while remaining motionless.

"He's not here yet?"

"We've already waited for three months."

"We might as well just head over to the other side."

"That won't do. The diabolic energy there is too weak. We might end up being the ones failing miserably."

"How is that possible? For the past three months, the density of the ether particles and diabolic energy have been increasing at a tremendous rate. Moreover, our cultivation has improved immensely during this period of time. On the other hand, Fang Xingjian has been staying in the other world all this time. His cultivation has probably been stagnant."

"That's right. With our achievements for the past three months, we'll be able to crush Fang Xingjian."

"Let's wait."

With the last male voice ringing out, the other eight people disappeared one after another. Only one person remained in midair, keeping his gaze on the seas.

Chapter 518: Returning

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

In Demonic City, at the Fang Clan's manor.

Chests and chests of gold were being shipped over and casually left on the ground. They emitted a piercing glow under the sunlight.

The surrounding guards looked at the overwhelming number of gold bars with greed and yearning shining out from the eyes of every one of them.

However, no one dared to take any action. No one was foolish enough to dare to try something funny right in front of Fang Xingjian.

Tyrant walked amongst the gold bars, absorbing them incessantly using the Gates of the Netherworld.

There were not as many heavenly and earthly treasures on Earth as there were in Miracle World, and technological devices were practically useless after being brought to Miracle World.

So, the only thing that Fang Xingjian could think of bringing back from Earth was gold.

After all, the Empire was also using gold as a currency. Gold was of great value regardless of the location.

While watching Tyrant store the many chests of gold, Fang Xingjian inhaled and asked, "Has the ether particles density grown stronger?"

This was something he had discovered after coming out from his training in seclusion. Ever since he returned to Demonic City, Fang Xingjian noticed that the density of ether particles throughout Demonic City was over several ten times more than what it had been before. This was causing the ether particles domain across all of Earth to continue expanding.

Fang Yuehe nodded and said, "That's right. Based on the reports from Miracle World, all of Miracle World went through a metamorphosis three months ago, and the density of ether particles has grown tremendously since then. The amount of diabolic energy present has also continued to increase.

"Regardless of whether they were Knights, magic prints Warriors, or Mages... everyone's cultivation speed has gotten increasingly faster."

"To think that there's such a thing?" Fang Xingjian said. Then he thought, 'Could it be related to the seventh onslaught?'

Fang Xingjian went on to ask, "Do you know about the seventh onslaught?"

Fang Yuehe was stunned and asked in return, "What seventh onslaught?"

Shaking his head, Fang Xingjian did not ask any further. It was because there was no way that the people on Earth could cultivate the path of Knights. Moreover, magic prints were affiliated to the evil gods and would be targeted by the Church of Universal Truth.

Therefore, even after so long, the people from Earth did not understand much of Miracle World, and most of the knowledge they had came from the Mage Association.

Thinking of the Mage Association, Fang Xingjian asked again, "Haven't the other two Divine level experts appeared yet? What about the Mage Association?"

Fang Yuehe replied, "They haven't appeared. It's as if they have disappeared. As for the Mage Association, they're treating as if nothing has happened. However, Xingchen got someone to pass along a message."

"What is it?" Fang Xingjian did not harbor any ill intent against his younger cousin. After all, back when he was in the Fang Clan, Fang Xingchen had only been four years old and there had been no feuds between them.

However, now that Fang Xingjian had killed his parents, there was no way that Fang Xingchen could let him off. Fang Xingjian would not let Fang Xingchen do as he wished either. Therefore, the battle between them was inevitable.

Fang Yuehe said, "Xingchen said that within three years, he'll personally come to settle his feud with you."

Fang Xingjian did not think too much of this. With Fang Xingchen's age, even with three years of cultivation, it was impossible for Fang Xingchen to be a match for him.

He said, "I'll be leaving Demonic City. Therefore, I plan to leave a stream of sword intent on you. Firstly, it's so that it can protect you. Secondly, if anything were to befall on you, I'll be able to find out any time."

Fang Yuehe nodded. "That's how it should be." Of course, Fang Yuehe greatest hope was that Fang Xingjian would not leave. Only then would both Demonic City and the Fang Clan be safe without any worries. However, Fang Yuehe was also aware that Fang Xingjian's aspirations were not with the Fang Clan and that it would be impossible to persuade him to stay. Therefore, Fang Yuehe chose to show his full support.

Level 29 experts were already be able to turn their martial will into various forms, leaving them on someone else. So, this was of course, not an issue for Fang Xingjian, who was a Demigod who had attained two tiers of perfection. Additionally, as martial will transmitted information at a speed close to the speed of light, once the sword intent was crushed by someone, Fang Xingjian would be able to sense it immediately.

Fang Xingjian tapped out a finger on Fang Yuehe's forehead, and an unusually sharp sword intent gushed out, surging into the depths of Fang Yuehe's consciousness.

Then Tyrant walked over from the other side and said, "The Gates of the Netherworld is fully filled with gold. Shall we get going?" His tone seemed to be slightly astonished and agitated.

The amount of gold Fang Xingjian had told him to bring along was over 500 tons. That wealth was comparable to a country's. In Miracle World, this amount of gold was sufficient for a country's expenditure. It could be said that for Fang Xingjian's future cultivation, he no longer need to worry about money.

Fang Xingjian could only have so much wealth because he was unrivalled on Earth and had taken control over the Fang Clan, the Despot's Onassis Clan, and the Thunder Monarch's Ford Clan.

Having spent this period of time on Earth, Tyrant had already noticed the differences between Earth and Miracle World. These were two different worlds. However, he had not negative feelings toward this.

After all, the evil gods he placed his beliefs in did not belong to Miracle World begin with. The many onslaughts Miracle World had experienced were all from fighting against people from other worlds.

Mages were better able to accept situations like these.

Fang Xingjian nodded. "Let's go."

At the next moment, both silhouettes completely disappeared, leaving Fang Yuehe standing there in a daze. In the end, Fang Yuehe let out a long sigh.

'He's gone?

'This time around, the Federation has suffered great casualties, and the project for cloning magic prints Warriors has been approved by all council members.'

Fang Xingjian's appearance had completely crushed the Federation's prestige this time, which also let them understand the difference in power between Earth and Miracle World.

Facing such a great difference, the magic prints Warrior cloning project which had been repeatedly put on hold previously was now fully activated. Simultaneously, they also went ahead with the space colonization project and the superhuman project. A total of three major projects were now ongoing at once.

The whole Earth was like a super motor which had been activated at full speed in order to shorten the gap in power they had with Miracle World.

Fang Yuehe had told this to Fang Xingjian previously, but the latter showed no interest in this.

However, Fang Yuehe himself clearly understood the value behind it. He knew that history was headed toward a brand new juncture.

'After experiencing a tremendous amount of pain firsthand, all of the Federation's upper echelon have now experienced a strong sense of danger. This time around, the person who came had been Fang Xingjian. What if some other Divine level experts were to come next time? All of Earth's military power will likely be improving at a rapid rate for the next over ten years or even several decades.

'And if the Fang Clan wishes to continue to remain at the very top, we must lead the trend.'

Fang Yuehe was not thinking of going against Fang Xingjian. It was just that after knowing the changes in the Earth's trends, he hoped to get a share of the profit as well as continue to maintain his position in the Fang Clan.

Just then, Fang Yuehe's cellphone rang. He picked it up, "Hello, this is Fang Yuehe.

"Hmmm?

"What?!

"You mean the back of the moon?

"Mmm.

"I understand.

"I'll be right there."

Putting aside Earth's developments, two men had suddenly appeared on the shores of Miracle World's Western Sea, and they were emitting streams of white light from their bodies. Their long hair looked just like burning white flames.

Tyrant put his hands across his chest, took in a deep breath, and then said, "It's really true. The ether particles density is very high." After saying that, he lifted his palm and gray light burst forth, turning into a huge ball of light.

"The density of diabolic energy has also gotten higher. Right now, it's very convenient to borrow the powers of the evil gods from beyond the heavens."

Beside him, Fang Xingjian asked, "Is it because of the seventh onslaught?"

"It should be."

Just then, nine figures suddenly charged over from all directions, surrounding the two of them.

Tyrant put his hand out to stop Fang Xingjian. He smiled and said, "Leave it to me."

Chapter 519: Eruption

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Tyrant looked at the nine figures who were headed toward them and suddenly smiled, "Stridor? Why have you come here?"

The nine figures surrounded Fang Xingjian and Tyrant. Unexpectedly, all nine of them who were wearing gray robes looked exactly the same.

Hearing Tyrant's words, the nine silhouettes by the name of Stridor spoke at the same time, "Tyrant? You dare rebel and join Fang Xingjian?"

Tyrant shrugged and communicated with Fang Xingjian through his will. "This guy is one of the three greatest geniuses the Terrene Shrine has nurtured in the recent ten or so years. In the past, he was of around the same level as me.

"His ability is to split and clone himself. However, the highest number he can reach is only ten. There's one more that's always hidden so that he can remain safe."

Tyrant looked at Stridor and said, "Don't say stuff like rebellion. We're all Gray Robed Mages. We place our faith in god and are loyal to ourselves.

"I now have new ideas toward the future and am no longer interested in the Terrene Shrine. As for you... You've been waiting here... Could it be that you're waiting for us?"

Stridor let out a sneer and said, "I was originally only here to capture Fang Xingjian. I hadn't expected to meet you who have rebelled. It doesn't matter. I'll capture the two of you together.

"It's such a pity. Three months ago, I might not be a match for the two of you. However, the world has undergone a metamorphosis, and in these past three months, I've received a qualitative improvement from who I was in the past." Streams of gray light rose from all nine Stridors concurrently. With the surges of light, it was as if there were nine gray suns in the sky.

Looking at the Gray Robed black magic that was about to be unleashed, Tyrant smiled, "Qualitative improvement? It's the same for me."

The speed at which Stridor performed his black magic was very fast. This was especially the case when all nine of his clones performed the black magic at the same time. It increased the black magic's effect and prowess.

Gray Robed black magic focused on using the power and flesh of living creatures from an alternate world.

A large black hole suddenly appeared, and a figure that was several hundred meters tall slowly emerged from it.

It was a huge nine-headed snake with a height of several hundred meters and a body covered in scales.

Even when it was all curled up, its body was several hundred meters tall, and each of its heads was like a skyscraper. This huge snake weighed several hundred thousand tons.

The snake emerged from the dimension door and landed in the sea. It was as if ten aircraft carriers had been dropped into the water at the same time, sending several ten thousand tons of seawater splattering into the sky and then falling back down as a heavy rain.

Concurrently, its nine heads swayed incessantly, releasing many astonishing cries which spread out far into the distance.

"Level 10 black magic, Hydra," Stridor began. However, he did not seem to want to take action immediately. So, instead, he continued to speak slowly, "Three months ago, the Black Mage King was the only one in the entire world who could perform level 10 black magic. However, after three months of tough cultivation, I'm now able to perform level 10 black magic as well."

"This Hydra has a body that's close to being indestructible. Its physical strength can destroy a small island or lift up an entire city. Each of its heads holds the power of a different disaster, and it can freely unleash nine types of level 1 to 10 black magic.

"Do you know that it..."

While Stridor was still giving his introduction, Tyrant had already charged out to stand before one of the Hydra's heads. As Tyrant wrapped his two hands around one of snake's chins, the power throughout his body erupted explosively. Then piercing white light burst out from his body as if white flames were burning on his body.

How strong was Tyrant's battle prowess right now? Even he himself was not sure. His physical body was currently that of a Demigod with two tiers of perfection, and he had even engulfed the bodies of two Divine level experts in a row.

The even more terrifying thing was that after he underwent training together with Fang Xingjian using nuclear radiations, 1.08 billions of physical particles had gotten stimulated in his body. It was a feat which had not been achieved before.

Putting aside the prowess of his martial will and looking solely in terms of physical body and strength, Tyrant was even more terrifying than some Divine level experts.

With this abrupt explosion, an overwhelming force came gushing out from his body immediately. Streams of vital energy and blood erupted from his body, and the Hydra's chin became deformed. Its entire body, which weighed several hundred thousand tons, was sent flying with a boom. Tyrant had tossed it into the air with a single throw.

Bang!

However, although Tyrant's strength was very powerful, the area it could affect was just his shoulders. Earlier, after tossing the Hydra over ten meters up into the air, Tyrant grabbed out with his two hands and managed to tear off a huge chunk of flesh off from the Hydra's chin.

Amidst its terrifying cries, the Hydra, with one of its heads covered with blood, was sent flying out a distance of several hundred meters.

Stridor's mouth was agape, as if he were looking at the descent of god.

Tyrant clenched his hands into fists, dissatisfied. Looking at the Hydra, that was now plunging down toward the sea, his mouth twitched. "Tsk, it's really heavy." As he spoke, he had already put out his palm, aiming its center at Hydra's location.

For the past three consecutive months, Tyrant had trained day and night in the nuclear radiation, continuously stimulating the power of physical particles. After doing that, not only did he manage to possess an extreme amount of energy, but based on the nuclear reactor's process, he had also finally created his own martial arts—Erupting God-Perishing Palm.

This represented that Tyrant had gradually gotten out of the black magic's restrictions and started to use his own power for battles.

At the next moment, scorching white light continued to come forth from the center of Tyrant's palm. A high temperature and pressure continued to extend out wildly toward the position he was aiming at.

In less than a second, light and heat which could penetrate the entire world had already fully and completely encompassed the Hydra, turning into a light pillar and shooting out toward the sea.

The atmosphere was being heated up, and the seawater continued to be evaporated. Under the great pressure from the atmosphere which was several hundred thousand times stronger than usual, the Hydra cried out crazily and in great agony. Streams of shock waves came crashing down, and it was as if there were countless experts attacking it at the same time.

The even more terrifying thing was that Tyrant showed no signs of stopping. The energy from his body continued to gush forth madly, and the light pillar continued to expand out. In the blink of an eye, it entered deeper and deeper into the sea, incessantly creating great explosions under the sea.

This carried on for ten whole seconds before Tyrant slowly came to a stop, and the scorching light coming from the center of his palm gradually dissipated.

When he lifted his head, there was no more Hydra to be seen.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh sounds rang out, and Stridor frantically escaped in nine different directions while wearing an astonished look. However, Tyrant slowly lifted up his finger and pointed toward the back of one of the clones.

At the next moment, his locked-on nuclear attack began. A corpuscular flow emitted crimson red light, shooting out from his fingertip and vaporizing Stridor, who had fled over ten kilometers away.

After nine consecutive attacks with his finger, nine streams of crimson red light pillars pierced through the air, crushing Stridor's body to the extent that nothing of it was left.

Tyrant grinned and said, "Right now, I seem to be overly strong."

However, Fang Xingjian looked at the sea under his feet and remarked nonchalantly, "You performed the God-Perishing Palm for far too long earlier. A huge explosion has occurred under the water, and it is going to cause a tsunami."

"Huh? Something like this can happen? " Tyrant scratched his head and asked, "Then what should we do?"

Fang Xingjian reached out his palm and pointed it to toward the sea while saying, "Try it one more time."

Chapter 520: Could It Be That They Are Gods?

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Deep under the sea, a great army of troops, with over 100,000 in number, were swimming at rapid speed.

They were all monsters whose upper bodies were close to that of humans, but their lower bodies were fish tails.

These monsters had pointed ears, and their eyes emitted a faint fluorescent light. Their teeth were extremely sharp, with each tooth being as sharp as a blade.

The even more astonishing thing was their speed when they were swimming in the sea.

Even at a depth of over 10,000 meters underwater, they were totally unaffected by the pressure of the water and could swim at a rapid speed of over 80 kilometers per hour. This was a great display of their terrifying physical attributes.

The more astonishing things were the prints on these monsters, which incessantly emitted faint purple light containing hints of mysterious aura.

At the very front of this army was a merman whose size was ten times bigger than that of the others. The length of his body was over 20 meters, and he had a total of six arms. He wore a set of pitch-black armor, which covered his densely packed purple prints. His aura was especially astonishing. It was deep like the sea, making him seem like a sovereign of the seas.

"Finally! I've finally succeeded!"

This man, who was like the legendary merman, called himself the Sea God, and he was among the first batch of people who had come to Miracle World from Earth. He was also among the earliest batch of magic prints Warriors.

The purple magic prints that the Sea God cultivated were different from other magic prints. People with purple magic prints had the ability of reproducing, propagating, and making copies of themselves.

They could achieve something as minor as propagating their own body parts for self-recovery, or something as major as continuing to reproduce and increase their energies.

After over ten years of tough cultivation, the Sea God had not only attained the Divine level, but he had also reproduced subjects under the sea, reaching a count of several million.

He could ceaselessly reproduce various mother bodies, including worker mother bodies, warrior mother bodies, constructor mother bodies, and so on. These mother bodies could then endlessly reproduce by using themselves as the prototype. They could create tens of thousands of various mermen, including worker mermen, warrior mermen, and constructor mermen.

The army of 100,000 behind the Sea God was a carefully nurtured merman army created by his duplication and self-reproducing abilities.

This was even more evident as his subjects had improved tremendously in the recent couple of months following the world's metamorphosis. The army he was leading now had a total of 100,000 mermen, and each of them had a battle prowess of the first transition or higher. Amongst them, 10,000 of them had even reached to be of the second transition or higher.

However, their development had also depleted a large amount of the resources he had at the bottom of the Western Sea. It was getting harder and harder to mine for resources, and the rate of their development was increasingly slowing down.

'From what I know, such military prowess is already stronger than the Empire on the shores of the Western Sea,' the Sea God made a judgement. 'Now, I only have to fight my way onto the shores, killing my way through and gain all sorts of experiences and resources. Then my subjects will be able to continue to reproduce and level up.'

'With 10,000 magic prints Warriors at level 29, 100,000 magic prints Warriors at level 29, or even one million magic prints Warriors at level 29... So what if we encounter Divine level experts? We'll still crush them with our numbers!'

The Sea God was full of disdain toward the common theory in Miracle World of using an individual's martial power to crush an entire group.

To him, the reason no one could crush Divine level experts with numbers was only because the number of people was too small.

'Wait till I've pillaged my way, creating ten million second transition magic prints Warriors. By then, all Divine level experts will have to give way to us! Having a great number of troops is the strongest power, and it is the way of the King! Hurrah to the human wave attack tactic! [1] 1 ' As these thoughts ran through the Sea God's mind, his eyes burned with great zeal.

As long as he could take over the Western Sea shores and create an army with over one million in number before the Empire could react, he would not be afraid even if two or three Divine level experts were to appear. Moreover, the Sea God himself was also a Divine level expert.

As long as he could lead his army to the shores of the Western Sea and kill his way through while strengthening his army, he would already have become an influence that no one in the world could undermine by the time everyone else noticed what was happening. He would be like the Myriad Star Palace or The School of Sword Arts, an existence which even the Empire's royal family could not eradicate and could only seek to form an alliance with.

Just as the Sea God was thinking of these, a light pillar came down from the skies, piercing through the boundless sea and landing onto the sand at the bottom of the sea.

Accompanied by a rapid spread of high temperatures, countless bubbles were created in the sea water, and waves of huge explosions occurred at the bottom of the sea. The waves of great turbulence were produced, and they attacked the Sea God's army.

"There's an expert!"

The Sea God opened his eyes and activated his Divine level will. Streams of purple light burst forth explosively, forming many barriers to block off the impact of the great explosions. The explosions only gradually disappeared after ten whole minutes, but the turbulence produced at the bottom of the sea continued on. They even formed reverse currents in the sea, causing the water to seethe.

The Sea God let out a sneer and got his army to wait on the spot for further instructions, while he darted out at a great speed toward the surface of the water.

The Sea God's speed was extremely fast. Even if he was just using his physical strength, he would be able to travel across a distance of over 1,000 meters. In a few seconds, he had already gotten close to the surface of the water. He pushed his head out of the water, casually did a scan with his martial will, and discovered Fang Xingjian and Tyrant who were standing in midair.

'Who are these two kids?'

Just as the Sea God was thinking of this, white light shot out from Fang Xingjian's palm.

That terrifying light with a high temperature and astonishingly high pressure was like a sun had plunged down from the sky, smashing into the water. Wherever the light passed by, the air and sea water would all be heated up into plasma.

A large amount of sea water was being evaporated. The high temperatures, which reached several thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand degrees celsius, heated up countless animals, boiling up the area within several kilometers into a batch of seafood chowder.

The white light once again pierced through layers of the sea, continuously heating up the seawater and eventually unleashing a great explosion at the bottom of the sea.

The explosion blasted through a large piece of the rock stratum at the bottom of the sea, and seawater seeped through, causing unrest on the surface of the sea. Therefore, new waves started sweeping out in all directions, with a part of them being negated after coming into contact with the tsunami from earlier. The rest of the waves continued to dash out toward the shore.

'Damn it, it's coming toward me?

'How on earth did they find out about my operation?

'These two people are really powerful. Are they the Empire's Divine level experts?'

Just as the terrifying attack was unleashed, the Sea God retreated frantically. The purple martial will was like a cocoon of light, protecting him and continuously fending off the repercussions from the attack.

That was right. This attack, the God-Perishing Palm, was not targeted at him to begin with. Therefore, the Sea God only needed to fend off the repercussions of the attack.

'What powerful means. But it's a pity that you missed.' The corners of the Sea God's lips curled up into a cold smile. 'Then it's my turn to make a move.'

In the sky, Fang Xingjian frowned. "It seems to be worse?"

"Mmmm..." Tyrant put out his palm. "Idiot. The explosion you created is even more powerful than mine. The tsunamis weren't able to negate each other. I'll have another go."

The Sea God was just about to make a move when another light pillar, which seemed to be able to pierce through the world, descended. All of the seawater on the surface seemed to be boiling, incessantly seething and releasing steam while producing bubblings sounds.

'Hmph, are the two of you trying to deplete my martial will by taking turns to attack?

'But you've missed again. Is it because the power from this attack is too powerful and thus hard to control? Is that why it's easy to miss?'

The Sea God's gaze focused on them, and his purple martial will grew increasingly condensed, keeping away the high temperatures and pressure while continuously protecting his physical body.

However, this was just the beginning. As the two people in the air took turns to attack, the despair in the Sea God's gaze grew.

"That won't do. You've exerted slightly more power again this time around. I'll have another go."

"No, no... You've exerted slightly less this time around."

"The tsunami seems to be growing bigger and bigger."

"Mmm, it's 500 meters tall now."

"It's still not working... There's a bit too much power..."

"There's too much steam. There's going to be a storm. Tyrant, go blow them away."

"The volcano at the bottom of the sea is going to erupt. This shouldn't be the case... How many meters have we broken into the earth's crust?"

If the Sea God's gaze had the initial expression of being on guard and feeling grim, then one minute later, his gaze had turned into that of astonishment and terror.

Five minutes later, the Sea God's gaze turned into one of anguish and despair.

Ten minutes later, his eyes were filled with numb emotions as he lifted his head to look at the two people who were standing in midair. He thought, 'These two people are so powerful... Could it be that they are gods?'

Chapter 521: Splitting Up

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

After using much effort to finally calm the seas, Tyrant wiped his forehead and said, "That was so tiring... I'll need at least a week to replenish the energy that I've depleted today."

Fang Xingjian inhaled deeply, and the surrounding wind and clouds started to move like, a strong gale was going to blow.

He breathed in a tremendous amount of ether particles into his lungs, but compared to his depletion from earlier, it was far from being adequate.

Fang Xingjian said, "Although the ether particles density has increased by a lot, we've yet to attain perfection in our ether organs. Thus, our abilities to absorb energy and information from ether particles are insufficient, and our rate of recovery is still too slow compared to our depletion rate."

Tyrant sensed the ether particles in the air and said, "With such a high density of ether particles, the cultivation speed for many people has quickened. However, if the will of second transition Conferred Knights aren't strong enough, it would be easier for them to become deranged when faced with an amount of information that is so many folds more, right?"

Fang Xingjian nodded and looked toward the Sea God's location in the sea. Tyrant, who was beside Fang Xingjian, looked over as well. "A purple fish? Oh, that's not right. He seems to be a magic prints Warrior?"

Just as the two of them looked toward the Sea God, the latter's face turned ghastly, and his muscles shivered fiercely like a bolt of lightning had just passed through him. The purple light all over his body swelled up, as if wanting to instantly split the sea into two. In the blink of an eye, the Sea God had shot out over ten kilometers in distance as though something was chasing after him.

'I have to leave! I have to leave immediately!

'To think that there are such terrifying people in Miracle World!

'It's better to head north. I mustn't make an enemy out of these two people.'

In that instant, the Sea God left for somewhere very far away, swearing to stay far away from the shores of the Western Sea from then onward. He would never return to this place again.

Tyrant smacked his lips as he looked at the Sea God, who had escaped far into the distance, with a hint of greed. He ran his hand through his hair, which was emitting white light, and asked, "Aren't we going to capture him?"

"I don't know him, and we don't have any feuds with him. So, there's no need to bother," Fang Xingjian said. Then he looked toward the Great Western City and beckoned, "Come, let's head back."

Inside an extraordinarily extravagant manor in Great Western City, the place was completely pitch black, and all the servants had disappeared, leaving behind an eerie feeling.

This was Hildebrand's initial manor. This person, who had been favored by the gods, was ranked third in the Regional Academy.. Ever since his grandfather, his clan's pillar and a Demigod who had attained one tier of perfection, died three months ago, the status of his clan had plunged rapidly and great conflict had arisen between the various branches. The clan's influence and wealth had continued to crumble, and Hildebrand then became extremely depressed and fired all the servants in the manor.

It was said that he would drown himself in alcohol everyday, and there would occasionally be terrifying shouts coming from deep within the manor.

In the basement of the manor, Hildebrand grabbed his head while kneeling down. His eyes were agape, and his pupils moved unconsciously. Currently, his expression was hideous.

"Get out!

"All of you get out right now!"

"It's no use. Hand over your body."

"Give it to me!"

"No, give your body to me!"

"All of you, scram! His body is mine!"

For the past three months, the density of ether particles had increased rapidly. Not only was there more energy, but the information contained in the ether particles had also increased. The cultivation for Conferred Knights also faced more challenges to one's will.

Ether particles contained various information about the past, present, and future, Of course, they also contained a lot of personal information. Throughout history, countless people of great personage had left behind information remnants of themselves.

It could be said that there were both advantages and disadvantages to Knights that the experiences, history, and other information could bring.

It was just like how when Fang Xingjian was in the Sacred Land. His will had been strong enough, so he had been able to directly learn the sword arts experiences left behind by experts in the past.

People with weak wills would be affected by the flood of personal information and end up in a deranged state.

Therefore, when facing the rapidly increasing ether particles, powerful Knights would be able to directly read these pieces of information, pick out their essences, and thereby improve their cultivation.

For people whose wills were not strong enough, they could go crazy or even enter a vegetative state.

Due to the density of ether particles being too strong and there being too much information, they could be affected in completely new ways. The cultivator could be affected by these waves of personal information and result in having split personalities.

It would be like the rumor of getting possessed by deceased souls, with the deceased souls being revived.

For the past three months, Hildebrand had plunged down to the lowest point of his life. Under such a situation, a tremendous amount of information had gushed into his brain. Many things that represented a person's memories and emotions slowly sedimented into his mind, throwing his brain into an increasingly chaotic state.

In Hildebrand's consciousness, a red-haired middle-aged man said, "Give up, Hildebrand. Right now, your will is heavily scarred. If this were to go on, the personal information of more and more people will enter your mind, and you will go completely crazy."

Another golden-haired fatty popped out into his consciousness and said, "Damn it! This is also the first time I've encountered something like this. The last time I woke up, it should have been several hundred years ago."

"This isn't called awakening," a monster who was covered with countless heads and tentacles all over said, "It's just that the density of ether particles has increased, causing the personal information of people like us, who have already died a long time ago, to gush into his body. We've been revived once again with the help of his brain."

"As ghosts?"

"We can also be said to be his other personalities."

Several ten sets of consciousness of weird shapes and sizes continued to quarrel in Hildebrand's brain, attempting to seize a space for themselves to survive.

Hildebrand bellowed, "All of you, scram!"

"You must be kidding me. I'm the world's top swordsman from 300 years ago..."

"I'm the Guardian King of the Church of Universal Truth..."

"Hehehehe... How I wish I can kill all of you..."

"I'm the King of Darkness, the number one genius in black magic from over 1,000 years ago. Listen to me..."

"Everyone hold it. Let's listen to what this idiot has to say."

All of them were great experts to have been able to leave behind their information in ether particles, still survive after entering a Knight's consciousness, and even to the extent of being able to be 'revived' in a Conferred Knight's consciousness.

Right now, too many pieces of personal information and memories had been absorbed into Hildebrand's consciousness. If they were to start fighting, there would be no end to it, since none of them would be willing to give in.

Just then, in Hildebrand's mind, another set of consciousness was starting to awaken after having gained sufficient memories and other information.

In Hildebrand's consciousness, a man wearing a white coat slowly opened his eyes. Before him, there were giants who were thousands or tens of thousands times taller than him. There were also extremely hideous monsters, as well as people who seemed to have been Kings who ruled over the mortal world.

Looking at the other wills which were exuding extremely dangerous auras, the man in a white coat rubbed his eyes and said, "Am I dreaming?" He tried to feel his body and asked, "Can someone explain what is going on?"

"Loser," a strong man who was covered in golden armor all over and riding on a black dragon said, "I'm Morudo, king of the ocean, king of the sky, and king of the earth. I stand above all the gods..."

Another kid who was wearing a gown said impatiently, "You're but the ruler of a small island. You are a Divine level with three tiers of perfection from 3,000 years ago. If you had been born 500 years later, I would definitely have kicked you like a ball."

The little girl looked at the man wearing a white coat and said, "Kid, the seventh onslaught is coming. Do you understand? Anyway, this body is in a very bad situation. Tell us who you are first. If you have a great background, we might listen to you."

Countless monsters, heroes, and priests looked at the man wearing a white coat. The man blinked and said, "Erm, I remember that I was working in the Beijing Mental Health Center previously."

Chapter 522: First Onslaught

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

"Where is Beijing?"

"What is a mental health center?"

"This person's clothes are very strange."

Just as the many deceased souls were looking at the man in a white coat with curiosity and doubt, an elderly man walked out slowly while holding onto his cane. He asked, "You said that you're from Beijing?"

The little girl asked, "Grand Duke Alba? You're from the Jade Dynasty 5,000 years ago. Do you know of this Beijing?"

This man who was called Grand Duke Alba was a top scholar of the Jade Dynasty, which had ruled over the world 5,000 years ago. Everyone was filled of admiration for his great knowledge.

Grand Duke Alba nodded and said, "The world that we're in has been subject to some kind of unknown curse. Based on the records on the Book of Origin, a total of 12 disasters will descend upon us. They can also be referred to as the 12 onslaughts.

"Each time before the disasters descend, the God of Universal Truth will increase the density of ether particles in order to protect this world, causing the abilities of human to strengthen at a rapid rate. It will also allow the souls of deceased people like ourselves to have another chance to return to the human world.

"In addition to my experience while I was still alive, this is already the third time I'm here to fend off against the danger."

Hearing Grand Duke Alba's words, everyone was shocked. This old man, who appeared to have a low profile, could be the one with the highest cultivation and knew the most mysteries amongst all of the people present.

"However, before the Book of Origin existed, legend has it that before the first onslaught, there was once a generation which was known as the Miracle Generation. It was a very, very amazing generation, but due to the first onslaught, the civilization of that generation was destroyed completely.

"With the successive appearance of the onslaughts, the records which were left behind could be said to be pathetic. I only got to know of Beijing from visiting countless ancient monuments."

As Grand Duke Alba finished speaking, the gaze everyone directed toward the man in a white coat was now totally different. It was now full of reverence, curiosity, and respect.

This was especially because the other party's information had existed for such a long period of time. So, how powerful would his will be?

As the top scholar of the Jade Dynasty, Grand Duke Alba had great enthusiasm toward history. At this moment, he looked at the man in a white coat and asked, "May I ask, what was the civilization of the Miracle Generation like before the first onslaught?"

"Oh? You're asking this...?" The man wearing white coat scratched his head, seemingly troubled. "It's a little hard to explain with just words."

"That's alright," Grand Duke Alba said, "Right now, we're all just information. We don't have any power, but it's very convenient for us to communicate as long as you're willing to transmit your information. You just need to think of what you've seen or heard. Then we'll be able to see them."

"Oh, is that so?" The man in a white coat clapped his hands together and said, "Then that's fine. Back in our generation, things were really very interesting."

Then a magnificent scene appeared before the many monsters, heroes, sovereigns, and experts.

On a small planet, various heroes, who could surpass lightspeed, move planets, and travel across time, were engaged in battle. Superman, The Flash, Thor, Hulk... Many powerful characters displayed astonishing strength.

Outside the planet, there were various gods, buddhas, devils, and angels... All of them were paying close attention to the humans' planet.

They watched as Galactus devoured a planet, Superman lifted up an entire continent, and a race called the Saiyans destroyed world after world.

"Wait a minute. Why are the Saiyans drawn?"

"Oh, they aren't real," the man wearing white coat said. "You must remember that people like the Saiyans, Pirate King, and Naruto are all fake, while Superman, The Flash, Sun Wukong, and Santa Claus are real."

Seeing that everyone was nodding seriously, the man in a white coat continued to recall, "Let me tell you, people like you guys who continue staying on your own planets won't have good future prospects. Only people like Luke Skywalker, who left his planet and went through tough training, would be able to save the entire galaxy."

The little girl asked, "Who is Luke Skywalker?"

The man wearing a white coat said emotionally, "He is a great warrior, a hero who is well-known throughout the galaxy. He is also my mentor."

Then there were scenes of all sorts of spacecrafts, battlecruisers, the Death Star, and the Zergs 1 .

Watching the humans' fleet of aircrafts cruising along in the galaxy, fighting against various robots, Zergs, orcs, and Protoss, Grand Duke Alba was taken aback, "This is the Miracle Generation? How powerful... To think that a generation like this was destroyed..."

Just then, the man in a white coat had also gotten an understanding of the history of Miracle World though his exchange with Alba.

The man in a white coat said, "I didn't expect that humans would be placed though such a trial either. I probably died before the first onslaught. It's a pity that my great cultivation wasn't put to use."

By now, everyone was already gazing at the man in a white coat with respect and awe.

Seated on the back of a black dragon, Morodo—the king of the ocean, king of the sky, and king of the earth—said, "We have yet to ask for you name... Sir, what do you think that we should be doing now?"

"I'm called Taiyi," the man in a white coat said with a solemn expression. "People call me True Lord Qingshan. I once killed millions and millions of living creatures, journeyed through a myriad of worlds, and managed to wipe out an endless stretch of the universe with just a light tap of my finger.

"After reaching the very top,I became disillusioned with the mortal world and lived a reclusive live in the Beijing Mental Health Center, contributing to humanity's mental evolution.

"If you can believe in me, we'll unite and face this seventh onslaught together."

"Alright!"

"True Lord Qingshan, go on. We'll all listen to you."

"Everyone shall listen to True Lord Qingshan!"

"Then I shall take this responsibility upon myself!" Taiyi let out a loud bellow and said, "Since that's the case, let's make a blood oath today to form an alliance, unifying our forces as a group in order to stand up against the seventh onslaught. I announce that the name of the group shall be called ' Shang 2 '.

"Right now, our first goal is for everyone to be able to be revived by borrowing another body. We'll then gather all the reincarnated people in the world to join forces to fend off the seventh onslaught."

Elsewhere, Fang Xingjian returned to the Sacred Land. The moment he did, he saw that Fang Qian was floating in midair, and burning gray flames were burning all over her body.

"What a strong diabolic energy," Tyrant said as his brows twitched, "At this level, she can probably be a match for a Demigod with two tiers of perfection."

Half a year ago, Fang Qian had only been able to stand up against a Demigod with one tier of perfection. Furthermore, although it was easy for magic prints users to level up, they would need to train up slowly in order to advance after reaching level 29.

Now, the power of Fang Qian's magic prints had gotten so strong that she could even stand against a Demigod with two tiers of perfection. What a terrifying progress rate this was! It showed how great the effects of the world's metamorphosis were.

Following the arrival of the two people, Fang Qian abruptly opened her eyes. When she looked at Fang Xingjian, her eyes glimmered with a yearning to try fighting against him.

For the past three months, not only had the density of ether particles increased, but it had also gotten increasingly easier to gain diabolic energy. This allowed Fang Qian's confidence to soar tremendously, and she even wondered if she could try challenging Fang Xingjian.

However, just when she merely revealed a hint of this thought on her face, Fang Xingjian threw her a slight glance.

With just this one glance, Fang Qian felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head.During just this one glance, she felt as if she had already been torn up into many pieces, with a myriad of swords piercing into her hearts. The strong feeling of death encompassed her entire body, and the diabolic energy on her body went out of control. The gray flames broke down, and she dropped to the ground.

Chapter 523: Situation

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Fang Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Your sword intent has become even more terrifying. It seems like your trip this time around to Demonic City was smooth sailing."

Fang Xingjian nodded and responded, "Li Shuanghua has committed suicide. Right now, Fang Yuehe is the Fang Clan's clan head."

From there, Fang Xingjian briefly shared the events that had happened. Fang Qian looked at Fang Xingjian as her eyes filled with astonishment. She never would have expected that Fang Xingjian had handled things on such a large scale. Not only had he forced Li Shuanghua to commit suicide, he had also taken over the Fang Clan, killed the Despot, and gotten the Thunder Monarch to submit. Within such a short period of time, he had defeated three Divine level experts.

Although this was also related to the environment on Earth, as well as with Fang Xingjian's immunity to diabolic energy, things had still gone far beyond Fang Qian's expectations.

Thinking of this, Fang Qian looked at Fang Xingjian with a hint of anticipation and asked, "Xingjian, if Fang Xingchen comes to look for you, can you save my younger brother's life?"

"Your younger brother?" Fang Xingjian recalled how he had been intended to be Fang Xingchen's apostle. Then after he escaped, Li Shuanghua had chosen a child from the branch family to become Fang Xingchen's apostle. That boy was Fang Qian's younger brother.

Fang Xingjian nodded. "If he comes to look for me, I'll spare your brother's life."

"Thank you," Fang Qian said. "You just came back and must be very concern about the situation in the Great Western City, right?"

"That's right. How's the situation here?"

Although Fang Qian had been staying in the Sacred Land all this time, it did not mean that she was unaware of the situation in the outside world. As a magic prints Warrior of the gray faction, she had been able to summon lifeforms from alternate worlds to help her investigate the situation in the outside world.

"It's not optimistic," Fang Qian said, shaking her head. "Three months ago, the First Prince was successful in his attempt to strive for the Divine level. From then onward, the entire central government started to have a change of blood, and the First Prince's people started to take on important positions. Two months ago, the important positions in all eight major regions also started going through changes.

"Right now, the Deputy Governor of the Great Western Region is Benjamin. With the backing of the First Prince's influence, he has already supplanted the Great Western Region's Governor Devitt. Rather, it can be said that all personnel related to the Second Prince's faction in the Great Western Region have either been supplanted or marginalized."

Tyrant, who was standing beside them, said, "Although First Prince George's aptitude isn't the best, it's true that he is in fact very lucky. Not only has he received the full nurturing of the Ancient Path of Hell, but he has also gained the advantage of the world's metamorphosis. By the look of things, even the Empire's King has chosen him to be the successor.

"He has both favorable geographical and human conditions. Furthermore, he became a Divine level expert on the path of the Knights and did not have to borrow even a bit of diabolic energy. The physical bodies of Knights are much stronger than those of magic prints Warriors to begin with. He probably won't be as easy to deal with as Li Shuanghua."

Fang Xingjian nodded. In his view, Divine level experts on the path of Knights were much more amazing than Divine level magic prints Warriors. Moreover, the First Prince had access to the royal family's resources and had strived for the Divine level as a Demigod with four tiers of perfection. He would probably be much stronger even when compared with other Divine level Knights.

Thinking of this, Fang Xingjian asked, "Tyrant, do you know the difference between the strong and the weak amongst those in the Divine level?"

Tyrant replied, "There are definitely differences. But I'm not a Divine level expert of the Terrene Shrine, so I have no idea of the specific details. I only know that the Divine level can be segregated into ten tiers. The difference between Divine level experts of different levels are beyond one's imagination.

"However, before the world went through a metamorphosis, people could only reach the first tier Divine level at most. It's only after the world's metamorphosis that they can now attain a further breakthrough."

In the past, the Divine level experts in the entire Miracle World had only been able to reach tier one of Divine level. However, when the world's metamorphosis started, the density of ether particles and diabolic energy had increased wildly, causing Miracle World's entire magnetic field to go through changes. It was only then that the tiers beyond tier one of Divine level could be attained.

Fang Xingjian suddenly thought of Li Shuanghua's performance. From being able to materialize her will, she reached a level where she could turn her will into her blood and flesh. Had this been because she had attained a breakthrough, moving from tier one of Divine level to tier two of Divine level?

Was it because the changes in Miracle World had resulted in the changes to Earth?

Fang Xingjian asked another question, "Then what about the National Selection? Has it ended?"

Fang Qian shook her head and said, "It has been decided that this year's National Selection will be postponed to three months later."

Elsewhere, in the Great Western Region's Regional Academy, a young man with a pair of upward slanting brows, who was wearing a Knight's attire, headed in the direction of the Sacred Land. He exuded a sharp aura, as if he were an unsheathed sharp sword. The young man seemed like he would not cower in the least, regardless of what would happen before his eyes.

Behind him, the academy's Superintendent quickly said, "Sir... Sir... Please wait... Fang Xingjian is still training in seclusion. Why don't we wait for a few more days?"

The young man came to a stop and turned to look toward the academy's Superintendent, saying coldly, "I'm Lord Benjamin's Chief Assistant, and I'm now left to be in charge of the Regional Academy's matters. Fang Xingjian is merely a student without even any official post. What right does he have to turn me away?

"Moreover, his right to use the Sacred Land has long expired, yet he has still been hogging the spot all this time. It has affected the resource distribution throughout the entire academy. This is something I can definitely not tolerate."

Fang Xingjian had been allocated one year of use of the Sacred Land by Governor Devitt. One year had already passed since the Regional Selection last year. So, of course, the limit for his use of the Sacred Land would already have been up.

With the world's metamorphosis, the density of ether particles had soared tremendously. The density of ether particles in the Sacred Land had also soared to even greater heights due to the increase of the ether particles' density in the outside world. Therefore, the value of the Sacred Land was now even higher than before.

Hearing what the young man said, the academy's Superintendent just felt he had a great headache.

This young man was not an ordinary person. His name was Asto. He had the title of Swordless Sword and had been ranked number three in the previous National Selection. Right now, he was also Deputy Governor Benjamin's Chief Assistant, and for the last month, he had held control over the entirety of the Great Western Region's Regional Academy.

This young man, the Swordless Sword, was most well-known for having been able to stand up to The School of Sword Arts' Supreme Chief, Heng Tianxiao, for a total of 3,000 moves. In the end, the young man had lost because he had been too tired to keep up. He then became a renowned Demigod in the Empire.

Considering the moves the First Prince had been making during the last three months, his next move would be to have a great reformation, splitting up the roles of the Regional Academy's Headmaster and the region's Governor.

In the past, the positions of the Regional Academy's Headmaster and the region's Governor had both been assumed by the same person. This was a drawback left behind by the eight Divine Continent experts who had founded the country. Right now, the First Prince's reformation was clearly to further weaken the power held by the Governors of the various regions.

With how each region's Conferred Knights emerged from the Regional Academy, and with the Headmaster being the Governor of the same region, how immense would the Governor's influence be?

The First Prince wanted to make use of the news that he had successfully attained Divine level and that both the Empire's King and Ancient Path of Hell's Sect Master, who had been Divine level experts for a very long time, were supportive of him. Furthermore, he had numerous experts under him. These allowed the First Prince to have an overwhelming influence.

Relying on his current overwhelming prestige and influence, the First Prince wanted to completely reform this drawback in the system.

From there, the Great Western Region, being the Second Prince's important base, was given special attention by the First Prince.

Right now, even the blind could tell that the future Governor of the Great Western Region would probably be the current Deputy Governor, Benjamin. Meanwhile, the future Regional Academy's Headmaster would probably be the current Chief Assistant, Swordless Sword Asto.

The academy's Superintendent would suffer from bad headaches each time he thought of all those chaotic and dangerous conflicts.

Regardless of whether they were the previous Governor, Head of Department, and the others... or the future powerhouses backed by the First Prince in his plan for the reformation... The Superintendent did not want to offend any of them.

The Superintendent could only sigh and continue to follow Asto, as they headed toward the Sacred Land.

Chapter 524: Intercept

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Asto headed slowly for the Sacred Land. The reason why he was walking so slowly was because he wanted to give the other party time to prepare.

He believed that with the current prestige of the First Prince and the current situation Fang Xingjian was in, they would choose to make the correct decision.

Anyway, Asto had decided to make his way there to apply pressure on Fang Xingjian. If the latter were to act on impulse and decide to fight it out, it would be bad. However, even if Fang Xingjian wished to fight it out with him, Asto still had the confidence to suppress him.

Concurrently, he thought of the relevant information in regard to Fang Xingjian. The latter's sword arts potential was considered to be amazing, even to Asto.

'It's a pity that he was born in the wrong generation, or it can be said that he has chosen the wrong path,' Asto thought. 'Fang Xingjian, even if the others don't know where you've gone, do you think that we aren't aware either?

'Although I have no idea why you've headed there, but the way you openly flew toward the shores of the Western Sea... Do you really treat us as dead?'

The First Prince—or rather, the upper echelon in the First Prince's faction—knew of Earth's existence. This was further accentuated after they started working with Li Shuanghua and managed to get even more information about Earth.

However, aside from doing some special research, they did not place Earth's martial prowess in high regard. They knew that it was a desolate land and that there were no experts there at all. Although the people of Earth leveled up fast, they were a far cry from Knights when compared at the same level. Even their Divine level experts were a far cry from the Empire's Divine level experts.

'It's a pity, Fang Xingjian... Although you have outstanding talent, of all times, you chose to leave at the most crucial point when the world went through a metamorphosis. For the past three months, the density of ether particles have increased at a rapid rate. Not only have all the top notch experts in the world grown stronger at a tremendous rate, but they've also been able to receive all sorts of information from the ether particles, dating back from ancient times till now, regarding cultivating experience and secret martial arts. It can be said that all top notch experts have improved tremendously.

'These three months have been deadly for you. It's this period of three months that has caused there to be a great difference between you and the current experts.

'Two years ago, I had yet to perfect my sword arts and ended up losing to Heng Tianxiao's Astral Obscurity Sword after 3,000 moves.' Asto sighed. 'With you defeating Heng Tianxiao, I have wanted to prove myself by defeating you. However, with the passing of these three months, Heng Tianxiao would probably have improved tremendously by now.

'Even if I defeat you now, I won't be able to prove that I'm stronger than Heng Tianxiao.'

Just as Asto was thinking about these, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and stood at the entrance to the Sacred Land with 100 times the density. He then looked at the several people who were heading toward him.

They were Zhou Xingwen, Anderson, and Lilia.

Before Fang Xingjian left, the three of them had been imparted with the legacy of the third level of mystical prints. Their aptitude could be said to be worlds apart compared to how they had been in the past.

Then with the world's metamorphosis during the last three months and the rapid increase in the density of ether particles, their cultivation speed had been increasing tremendously. After all, aside from increasing their aptitude, the mystical prints also had the function of filtering the information, reducing the chances of them becoming deranged.

Zhou Xingwen had already reached level 25 now and was starting to condense specialty seeds. 50 streams of aura rose up from his specialty seeds. Lilia, who was standing next to him, had also completed her second transition and reached level 24. She was ceaselessly absorbing all sorts of light and heat energies from the surroundings to replenish her own energy.

The most surprising of them all was Anderson. Right now, the aura of over 100 specialty seeds was rising from his body. Not only had he reached level 25, but he had also surpassed Zhou Xingwen.

However, although their progressions were already very fast, they were far from being able to threaten Swordless Sword Asto.

As an expert who could fight a close match with The School of Sword Arts' Supreme Chief, Asto had long been a Demigod with two tiers of perfection in his body's toughness and in the area of specialty seeds. Moreover, he had been making preparations to attain the third tier of perfection in brain regeneration all this while.

For the past three months, he had been receiving information impacts from the ether particles and engaging in long discussions with countless experts from way back in the history. He continued to train his sword arts and martial will time and time again, growing stronger at rapid speed in all aspects. His cultivation had also finally reached a new juncture for breakthrough.

One week ago, he had finally completed the ability for brain regeneration, so he now owned a physical body that was close to being indestructible.

Asto's Killing technique, the Swordless Sword, had even received a boost from various ancient sword techniques and become even more perfect.

'I heard that after Heng Tianxiao was defeated, he went to The School of Sword Arts' previous Supreme Chief to restudy his sword arts. I wonder how much stronger he has become now.'

Even with Zhou Xingwen and the others right before him, Asto's mind was still full of thoughts of his rival, Heng Tianxiao.

Zhou Xingwen said, "Lord Assistant, may I ask why you've come to the Sacred Land?"

Asto threw a cold glance at Lilia and said, "The Sacred Land is a forbidden land in the academy. Everyone can only train in the respective areas based on their entitlements. What is this girl doing here? I recall that she isn't a student of the academy, right?"

Zhou Xingwen had not expected Asto to not show any civilities in the least and to cause trouble by immediately bringing up the matter of Lilia. He thought, 'It seems like there's no room for discussions.'

Then Zhou Xingwen said, "She's a servant Xingjian specifically asked for, and she is in charge of taking care of his daily life. The academy allows each cultivator to bring one or two servants to stay with them, right?"

"Hmph. Don't let me find out that she has used the Regional Academy's resources. Otherwise, even if it's Fang Xingjian, I won't let him off," Asto declared. Then he spoke nonchalantly, "Where's Fang Xingjian? Why hasn't he come to meet me?"

Zhou Xingwen answered honestly, "Xingjian is currently training in seclusion. Before he went in, he instructed us that no one is to disturb him."

"Hmph, he is merely a student of a Regional Academy. Since when does he have such rights? His right to use the Sacred Land has already expired. He can't possibly still want to hog the spot, can he?"

Zhou Xingwen said, "Lord Governor has given the instruction that as Xingjian is making preparations for the National Selection, he can be given an exception and his right to use the Sacred Land can be extended for three months."

"Ridiculous," Asto scoffed, and streams of sword intent seemed to fill up the world, pressing toward Zhou Xingwen and the other two. Their faces turned extremely pale, and they shook as if they were about to fall.

"It's not as if the entire Regional Academy's resources belong to Fang Xingjian alone. With so many students waiting in the line, why should he be given an extension? Without any fairness, how can one manage the entire academy? How can everyone be appeased?"

Zhou Xingwen's teeth were clattering under the immense pressure, but he summoned up the courage to say, "Sir, this is the instruction from the Governor. He said..."

"B*stard!" With a loud bang, Asto's palm sent Zhou Xingwen flying. Zhou Xingwen crashed into over 100 big trees and over ten mounds before he dropped to the ground.

Asto looked coldly at Anderson and Lilia, who were left. "Right now, I'm the one in charge of all the matters in the academy. It's also the First Prince's intention for the roles of the Headmaster and Governor to be split into two in the future. It's the future policy of the country. Do you guys still have any problems?"

Anderson frowned and clenched his fists tightly. The shadows under his feet started trembling like he would take action any moment now.

Asto looked at Anderson coldly, as if he was waiting for him to make his move.

With Anderson's personality, he was not one who could tolerate someone acting so arrogantly toward him. However, Asto was a Demigod after all and not Anderson's match. If Anderson were to make a move now, he would just be asking to be humiliated.

"Have you said enough? If you have, then scram. The academy's matters aren't for you to get involved in."

Just as Anderson was hesitating, Lilia made her move. With a cry, Lilia's longsword thrust out toward Asto at lightning speed.

Chapter 525: Swordless Sword

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Lilia's sword attack was as fast as a falling meteor. With a single thrust, sound explosions rang out continuously. Everywhere her sword passed by, it seemed to have created a vacuum passageway in the air, and her sword's speed reached 15 times that of supersonic speed.

From this one sword attack, one could tell that Lilia had improved tremendously during this past period of time. In fact, she was never one who lacked passion in sword arts. It was just that her talent had been insufficient and she had no great teacher to provide her with guidance. That was why there had been a limit to her strength.

However, she then managed to get guidance from a grandmaster of sword arts like Fang Xingjian, and she also received the mystical prints to increase her aptitude. With these, in addition to her passion and hard work which were not lacking, Lilia had improved at a tremendous rate.

In particular, due to Fang Xingjian's influence on her, Lilia had chosen the Windstorm Sword Hero for her first transition and the Gale Wind Sword Deity for her second transition. Her speed bested the second transition experts who were of the same level as her.

Her current attack lashed out at 15 times that of supersonic speed, and the space within a 100-meter range seemed to have been sliced into two by this sword.

Lilia's rate of improvement was already very fast, and she was also one of the higher ranking ones amongst those of the same level as her. However, she was facing a Demigod with three tiers of perfection.

As the person who was ranked third in the National Selection, Asto's talent was undeniable. Furthermore, he had even signed the Hell's Map and gained the power representing 'nihility' amongst the 36 Hell's Maps. With that as his foundation, working together with his sword arts cultivation, he had created his unique Killing technique, the Swordless Sword.

Currently, Asto had not moved an inch. The tip of Lilia's sword was just one A unit of length (one zhang = 3.3 meters) zhang 1 away from Asto's body when she let out a stifled snort. Then it was suddenly as if she had collided into a mountain. Her longsword was shattered, and she was sent flying out while splurting a mouthful of blood.

Lilia rolled over ten rounds on the ground before the power from Asto was neutralized. She lifted her head to look at Asto, thinking, "What was I hit with earlier?"

Asto's Swordless Sword was a power which could change ceaselessly between the illusionary and the real world.

When he managed to turn his own power into an illusionary one, his sword force would neither affect nor be affected by anything in the actual world.

Streams of sword force continued to linger within one zhang around him, neither affecting the physical nor being affected by the physical world.

It was when Asto transformed this surge of sword force into part of reality that the sword force began to affect the physical world.

As the illusions were unaffected by the physical world, he could apply a spinning sword force around himself. Unaffected by the physical world, the spinning sword force would not weaken, and it would forever circle around Asto's body until it was turned into something real one day.

Therefore, while it seemed as if there was nothing at all within one zhang around Asto, there were, in fact, countless illusionary spinning sword forces being stored there. The amount there was probably countless times beyond Asto's limits.

Relying just on the Swordless Sword within the one zhang range around him, it would be no problem for him even if he had to forcibly take on a Divine level expert's attack. Furthermore, having reached the level of perfecting brain regeneration, someone with his level of defense was rare in this world.

Asto looked at Lilia and said, "It's a death penalty for one to assault one of the country's Conferred Knights. Die."

As he spoke, Asto tapped out with his finger, sending forth a gush of sword force which was around him. He turned it from something illusionary into a part of reality, shooting toward Lilia.

The terrifying sword light compressed the air, leaving behind streams of white force in the air which struck toward Lilia's head like a laser beam.

Anderson's countenance changed, and streams of black shadows flashed, appearing before the sword force. There were shadow blades slashing out from each shadow, trying to fend off the white force in the air.

However, although it seemed that Asto had launched a casual attack, the sword force he had transformed was comparable to a full power attack with the strength of his physical body. With that being said, how could Anderson possibly be able to fend it off?

The shadow blades were crushed, and Anderson dropped to the ground, with blood flowing out from his seven apertures.

The sword force did not weaken in the least and continued to strike toward Lilia.

Just as the sword force was about to shoot through Lilia's head, Lilia raised up her right hand, extremely skillfully forming sword fingers and slashing out. It split the sword force into two, passing by Lilia on each of her side. The split sword force pierced through the forest for several kilometers, leaving behind two long trails of ruins.

"Hmmm?" Asto frowned. He could not understand how Lilia had managed to fend off this move.

On the other hand, Lilia was a little stunned as well. Just then, Fang Xingjian's voice rang out in her mind, "Don't be afraid. Just act in accordance to my instructions."

Amidst the spatial gaps, Fang Xingjian stood right next to Lilia. Simultaneously, he transmitted hints of sword intent into Lilia's brain, giving her instructions on the actions she should take.

Lilia said excitedly, "Master! You've come out from your seclusion?"

Fang Xingjian replied nonchalantly, "Focus. We'll talk after dealing with this person."

Lilia nodded and wiped off the blood from the corner of her lips. She formed sword fingers with one hand and pointed at Asto while leaving her other hand behind her back. This was a standard pose expressing that she was ready to take on her opponent.

Asto smiled. "Interesting. Let me see how many more moves you can manage to receive from me."

As he spoke, Asto launched out another attack with his hand, sending over 1,000 streams of sword force gushing out and heading toward Lilia like a violent storm.

Then Lilia felt as if her body was being grabbed onto by someone, like there was a big and strong hand grabbing her wrist from the void. Even though over 1,000 streams of forces were encompassing her, she felt no terror at all. There was only serenity in her mind.

She waved around continuously with her sword fingers, creating many afterimages and connecting them to form many vortexes.

The over 1,000 sword forces, which had struck toward her, seemed like wanderers who had returned home. They become a great tornado, spinning on the tip of Lilia's fingers.

"What?!" Asto looked at this scene in disbelief. To think that the other party had not only just fended off his sword forces, but she had even turned them into her own power!

"Excellent, excellent, excellent. I hadn't expected that you're another genius. However, for you to dare to challenge the Empire's authority so easily, don't blame me for being vicious."

As Asto spoke, his surroundings trembled a little. Those were the fierce sword forces he had transformed. Over 10,000 streams of sword forces gushed forth. In terms of both speed and strength, they far surpassed the standard of a level 29 Conferred Knight.

The unleashed power could be said to be earth-shaking and world-changing.

The sword forces had merely just appeared when violent sound waves gushed forth toward the entire Sacred Land.

However, the sword forces did not extend outward. They were condensed at one spot and launched in an attack toward Lilia like a light needle.

The speed of the explosive attack made it seem as if Lilia would be crushed within one-thousandth of a second. It created a ten-centimeter-wide vacuum passageway which extended several tens of kilometers behind her and was charging through everything material.

This attack was one that purely utilized one's achievement level to bully others. With Lilia's five attributes, there was no way that she would be able to react. Moreover, even if she could react to it, there was no way that she would be able to fend it off.

However, right now, Lilia had Fang Xingjian backing her up.

Therefore, when the sword forces were just about to strike Lilia's chest, Fang Xingjian also activated the Infiltrating Void. This caused an explosive force to burst at Lilia's arm, forcing Lilia's sword fingers point toward Asto's sword force.

With this collision, the sword forces seemed to have turned from a violent wild beast into a gentle sheep. They continued to throb on Lilia's palm, no longer showing any signs of attacking.

Chapter 526: Countering and Lying In Ambush

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

'What?' Asto looked at the scene before him in disbelief as he bellowed furiously in his heart, 'What situation is this?! My attack is the combination of over 10,000 streams of sword force, and its speed far surpasses Conferred Knights' reaction. To think that she's able to tap on it instantly and just to happen to break the balance of the 10,000 streams of sword force? Is she a human or a ghost?'

That was not all. Lilia's entire arm was soon unable to hang on under Fang Xingjian's control. Her flesh tensed up like it would disintegrate at any moment now.

Despite her powerful physical body, which she had cultivated with the third level of mystical prints and with her job transition as a Gale Wind Sword Deity, Lilia was unable to withstand Fang Xingjian's power.

Therefore, with a light tap of her finger, the one point, in which 10,000 streams of sword force had merged together, was already slashing out toward Asto.

Facing his own attack which had been turned into his opponent's power and then used to against himself, Asto's expression turned extremely cold. The killing intent he felt toward Lilia had also risen to greater heights.

Faced with Lilia's counter-attack, Asto swung his hand casually, unleashing several tens of thousands of sword force which exploded out. He wanted to fend off the attack from Lilia and then continue to attack and kill her.

However, just as the attack, which was a condensation of 10,000 streams of sword forces, arrived right before Asto, it suddenly exploded, turning into a myriad of meteors and thrusting toward his face.

'What?! To think that she can let the sword force explode in midair? How on earth did she do that?'

Before he could figure out the principles of Lilia's attack, Asto quickly controlled the sword forces around him to neutralize the scattering attacks. However, as he unleashed streams of sword force in succession, his countenance also turned increasingly grim.

With each stream of sword force he unleashed to clash with his opponent's sword force, his own sword force would instantly be absorbed by the opponent's sword force and then shot back toward him.

Asto felt like he was up against a boundless sea. Each time he attacked, his attacks would just rebound right back.

An extremely intense battle broke out within a range of one zhang around Asto, and he continued to handle the attacks while breaking out in cold sweat. However, as he unleashed more and more explosive sword forces, the sword forces which were sent back toward him increased as well.

The terrifying attacks slowly inched toward his body like they would smash his entire body at the very next moment.

'Impossible!

'How could such a thing happen?

'To think that I would lose out to a young lady who hasn't even a condensed a single specialty seed?!'

By the time Asto was thinking of escaping, it was already too late. The densely packed sword forces encompassed and gushed out incessantly toward his physical body.

Asto could only watch as the explosive sword forces he had unleashed continued to be turned back on him by his opponent and then also as the wildly seething sword forces continued to inch closer toward his body like countless locusts.

If it were Lilia's attack, Asto, who had attained perfection in his body's toughness, would be able to easily take the attack head-on even if he neither moved nor dodged.

However, right now, he was facing his own attacks. In this instant, it was as if he was being surrounded and attacked by several hundreds or thousands of copies of himself.

Finally, with a cry of despair, Asto was instantly covered in blood as he knelt down onto the ground.

However, that was still alright. As an expert who had mastered the level of brain regeneration, Asto would be able to revive even if he were slashed into tiny pieces. Moreover, right now, he had only been slashed to the extent that his skin and flesh had split open.

"Damn it! I'm going to kill you! This time around, I'll definitely not let you have the chance to make use of my sword force!"

Just as Asto let out a furious bellow and was about to make his move, Lilia's cold voice was transmitted into his brain through information currents.

"If I were you, I'd take a look at the words on myself."

Asto was slightly stunned. Then at the next moment, blood mist sprayed out from all over his body, revealing that densely packed blood writings had been engraved on his body.

On Asto's chest, there were big characters in the color of blood, 'Complete Counter of the Swordless Sword'.

It was not that the earlier attacks had not killed Asto, but rather, the intention of the attacks had been to slash through his skin, leaving large carvings of words.

Right now, words had been carved all over his body, writing down the methods on how to neutralize his sword force and the method of countering his Swordless Sword.

In that instant, Asto's eyes were agape, and he seemed to be at a loss.

He wanted to immediately recover his physical body and kill Lilia.

However, if he were to recover his body's condition, what would happen to the method of countering the Swordless Sword? He had a deep craving to read the contents and perfect his sword technique.

Asto scanned through it with his Heaven's Perception and recorded the words and patterns left on his body. However, the feelings and aura he sensed were both extremely profound, preventing him from comprehending it within just a short moment.

Should he leave these scars on his body? If he were to do that, he could forget about going out in public again.

"Ahhhh!!!!"

Asto let out an agonizing cry which sounded like the cry of a wild beast that was on the verge of death. Then, bringing along a series of afterimages, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Asto's final decision was to find a deserted location and first study the method of countering his sword technique thoroughly.

By then, both Zhou Xingwen and Anderson had already arrived next to Lilia and were looking at her in slight disbelief.

Anderson, especially, was wearing an extremely complicated expression. "Lilia, how on earth did you do that?"

Lilia's face flushed red as she smiled and said, "It wasn't me. Master was the one who did that."

"Xingjian?"

At the next moment, Fang Xingjian emerged from the spatial gaps. Upon seeing his appearance, Zhou Xingwen broke into a surprised expression. "Xingjian, you've come out from your seclusion?"

Fang Xingjian nodded. "Call everyone over. Get the Head of Department and Governor here as well. I have some matters to discuss."

Zhou Xingwen nodded excitedly. Fang Xingjian's return from his seclusion was too timely. Moreover, having just seen how easily Fang Xingjian had defeated Asto, Zhou Xingwen could not stop grinning.

During this period of time, they had suffered a lot under Asto's hands.

Thinking of Asto, Zhou Xingwen could not help but say, "Oh, right, Benjamin's side..."

Fang Xingjian replied nonchalantly, "Don't worry. As long as Asto manages to comprehend the sword technique on his body, he won't dare to go against me anymore. As for Deputy Governor Benjamin sent by the First Prince... There will be someone else to deal with him. Regardless if it's Asto or Benjamin, they will feel too ashamed to want to handle the matters of the Great Western Region."

From the back door of a luxurious manor in Great Western City, Tyrant jumped over the wall with a light leap. By the time he landed on the ground again, he had already taken on the appearance of a maid.

Following the path leading deeper into the manor, he passed by a corner and saw a group of maids. By that time, he had already turned into a fully equipped guard.

Advancing just like that while changing continuously, Tyrant arrived at the manor's master bedroom in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the decor in the master bedroom, Tyrant's lips twitched. 'He's quite rich.' However, recalling the things he had in the Gates of the Netherworld, Tyrant started grinning.

He took a look in the master bedroom, the study, and then finally the toilet.

'If I were to turn into a toilet bowl, I would definitely catch everyone by surprise, right?

'That's not right. A Demigod seems to not need to poop.

'Then what if I were to turn into a bed? A Demigod doesn't need to sleep either...

'Hmmm, if it's at the study desk, there are plenty of books and documents that have been flipped through. There are also signs of usage. It seems that he still maintains the habits from when he was a mortal when dealing with work.'

Thinking of this, Tyrant eventually walked behind the study desk, and then reached out his hand to store the chair into the Gates of the Netherworld.

Next, hints of gray light flashed on his body as he activated level 5 black magic—Flesh-matter Transformation. In that instant, his entire body had turned into a chair that looked the same as the original one.

It was not just in appearance. Even the physical structures of the chair were exactly the same as the original one.

This level 5 black magic allowed him to turn himself into some commonly seen material. In the past, Tyrant would not have been able to sustain it for very long even if he were to activate it, as he had been unable to transfer his will onto a physical item for an extended period of time.

However, ever since he started training together with Fang Xingjian, he had continued to temper his will incessantly. Right now, even if he were to turn his physical body from flesh to another material, he would also be able to sustain the state for six hours.
