Rebirth Of The Urban Immortal Cultivator

by Stayrr

Chen Fan, the great cultivator, failed to transcend the Tribulation of Heaven: the final stage of his cultivation. Little did he know that this accident would bring him back to Earth and turn back time to five hundred years ago when he was just a teenager. 'I had once reached the precipice of power in the known universe and could look down on the ten thousand realms with pride; I

Chapter 609: Who Do You Think You Are?

After five centuries of cultivating, Chen Fan didn't care about his family anymore.

Three thousand years were only a season to a Dao Reunion Immortal Cultivator, while ordinary people would die after a hundred years. Those two types of beings were basically two different levels of life. Cultivators could rebuild blood relations easily by transferring themselves to another body.

So, when Chen Fan was reborn, he focused on the people that used to be good to him and those he wanted to make up to.

For example, Chen Gexin, Wang Xiaoyun, An Ya, Fang Qiong, Chen Huaian, Auntie Tang... and the others from the Chen family and the Wang family. Chen Fan never had never placed Wang Zhongguo in his heart, so the best he could do for his parents was to call him "Mr. Wang." As for Xue Hongmei, he would rather die than greet her.

Wang Keqin frowned and said, "Xiao Fan, where are your manners? They are your grandparents."

"Do I know you?"

Chen Fan looked at him.

Wang Keqin almost lost his temper. They had met several times in the past and Chen Fan knew that he was his uncle, so how could Wang Keqin calm himself when Chen Fan pretended not to know him?

Wang Keqin restrained his anger and said expressionlessly, "I'm your uncle, Wang Keqin."

"My uncle? Who do you think you are?"

Chen Fan then turned to Wang Zhongguo who was seated in the master seat.

Even when Chen Fan was so disrespectful, Wang Zhongguo didn't say a word and still looked calm. Chen Fan had no idea what this cunning old man was planning.

But Chen Fan didn't mind it at all.

Wang Zhongguo was indeed resourceful, so what? He would easily be defeated in front of real power. The one who dominated the universe in the past life wasn't one of those Wise Men, but the brave, powerful North Mystic Celestial Lord!

"Sister, did you teach him to act like that?" Wang Keqin said to Wang Xiaoyun.

Wang Xiaoyun was embarrassed, but she was also unsatisfied with the old lady's attitude, so she remained silent.

Wang Zhongguo knocked on the floor with his cane and said, "Alright, that's enough."

"Since Xiaoyun is home today, ask her brothers to come for dinner. Our family hasn't been reunited in a long time."

Wang Keqin had no choice but to obey the powerful Wang Zhongguo. Even the angry old lady had to turn around and leave them alone.

Wang Chenchen watched from the side and her eyes widened. She had never thought that Chen Fan would disrespect Wang Zhongguo and still not be punished. It was such an unbelievable thing to happen in the Wang family.

"Who exactly is he?"

Wang Chenchen was extremely curious.

It was evening when Chen Fan's family arrived in Yan Jin.

The banquet was held in a small building and the chefs who cooked for the Wang family were all top chefs in the country. They could turn simple ingredients into a high-class dish and could carve a realistic Buddha on a small piece of tofu.

All the members of the Wang family came after receiving the notice.

Looking from the top of the mountain, there were many luxury cars driving towards the North Mountain from all directions. They were all limited editions of Lamborghini, Ferrari and Bugatti Veyron; each of them was worth at least five million.

Wang Zhongguo had four sons and two daughters in total.

The oldest uncle Wang Keqin, second uncle Wang Keshan, third uncle Wang Kefeng, small uncle Wang Kedong, and the two daughters, Wang Xiaolei and Wang Xiaoyun. Chen Fan's Mom was the second youngest among all, a bit older than Wang Kedong.

With so many children, their family surely had a lot of members of the younger generation, not to mention the collateral branches, distant families and godchildren who relied on the Wang family.

Soon, a group of people gathered in the building at the peak.

"Mom, Dad, we're here."

Several uncles and aunties arrived one after another.

They saw Wang Xiaoyun and her family but they weren't surprised at all. Apparently, they had been notified beforehand. Then, they glanced over to Chen Fan and a fearful look immediately appeared on their faces.

The Wang family had strict house rules.

Many people with lower positions in the family stayed outside the building. They couldn't go in before their names were called, so they peeked through the windows.

"Is that our auntie, Wang Xiaoyun?"

"So, the young man is Wang Xiaoyun's son? He looks quite handsome and the two girls next to him are so pretty and elegant. They're much better than my girlfriends."

"Lower your voice. They said our auntie's family is really powerful. Even Brother Wang Chen is scared of them."

Many members from the collateral branches or the younger children of the third generation were having a heated discussion. They weren't familiar with Wang Xiaoyun's family who they hadn't seen for more than a decade, not to mention Chen Fan. Only the senior members of the Wang family or core members like Wang Chen knew who Chen Fan really was.

Next to them were a few older people.

They were the several extraordinary members from the third generation of the Wang family. One of them was around thirty years old and seemed to be the center of the group.

"Is that Chen Fan?"

Wang Hao frowned.

He was the son of Chen Fan's second uncle, Wang Keshan.

"Haha, Chen Beixuan! The first thing he did when he arrived in Yan Jin was to beat up Zhang Yu. He was also disrespectful to grandpa and grandma. He even said that uncle isn't qualified to be his relative."

Wang Hao's brother, Wang Ben, grunted.

The son of Chen Fan's third uncle, Wang Hu, said, "Well, he's Superpower Chen after all, the one who made the European Union to step back. Even grandpa has to be careful with him. If you piss him off, I don't know what he would do to our family."

Then they looked at the couple next to them, who were the real leading figures of the younger generation of the Wang family.

Wang Chen.

Son of Wang Keqin, the top master of the Wang family. He was the most outstanding person among the third generation of all the major families in Yan Jin.

The bright, short-haired woman beside him was his fiancée, called Han Junli. She came from the Han family of Yan Jin and was Han Juntu's sister.

"Who knows if his battle with the European Union and all the rumors of Superpower Chen are real?"

Han Junli's eyes were filled with hatred.

Everyone knew that the Han family had put Han Hongkun in captivity for several years because of Chen Fan. They let him out for a while, but after Chen Fan came back from Russia, the Han family was so afraid they imprisoned him again. This time, they didn't allow anyone to be in contact with him.

As Han Hongkun's sister, how could she forgive Chen Fan?

"True or not, he's someone as powerful as the leaders of the major families in Yan Jin. Your dad and my grandpa are both humble when they talk to him," Wang Chen said calmly.

Only the National Intelligence Service and the underground organizations had the detailed information about Chen Fan. The Wang family only knew about things Chen Fan did in the past and the most recent news were blocked by the United States.

Even so, defeating Japan, Russia and the European Union was astonishing enough.

"Hehe, he wants us to respect him but he doesn't even see us as his family."

Wang Ben was furious.

Members of the Wang family had been superior for too long and were far from the Dark World, so they didn't really fear an Overlord. Even though they knew who Chen Fan was, they couldn't suppress their arrogance and anger.

Then, Wang Kefeng asked Wang Chen and some others to come in.

Wang Chen felt something was wrong once he entered the house.

Chen Fan, Fang Qiong and An Ya stood at the window with their backs facing the others, looking out at the scenery and ignoring the Wang family, while Wang Xiaoyun and Chen Gexin were sitting on the sofa. Several members around them looked discontented and the old lady was extremely enraged.

"Xiao Chen, your auntie and her family came from afar. Make some arrangements and let them stay in No.5 Villa on the mountainside of the North Mountain," Wang Keqin said.

"Yes, father," Wang Chen answered.

During the dinner, nobody at the table said a word. The younger members outside of the building were also influenced and remained silent. The old lady didn't even drink a sip of water. Only Chen Fan looked normal while Fang Qiong and An Ya talked to each other happily.

When the banquet ended, Wang Chen left with Chen Fan.

The fiery Wang Kefeng banged on the table and said, "Does he really think he's an important person? We're his uncles but he never greeted us, not even his grandparents. He's totally disrespectful and uneducated. I don't know how Xiaoyun taught him."

"That's right, it's too much. Does he think he's the President of a country? Those martial artists are just trying to butter him up." Wang Keshan sneered.

While they were enraged, they had never thought that.

Twenty years before, they had sent Chen Fan's family away and didn't regard Wang Xiaoyun as their daughter. They had never called her once throughout the last ten years. Ever since Chen Fan became powerful, they had wanted to rope him in but they couldn't be humble in front of him.

Wang Zhongguo's face darkened and he didn't say a word.

"Old man, you must deal with it. You're his grandpa and Keqin is his uncle. What did he say to you? You're not qualified to be his uncle? He really thinks he's a big cheese!"

Xue Hongmei was so angry her lips were trembling.

Chen Fan who came back heard her.

"Wang Chen, you're the heir of the family. What do you think?" Wang Zhongguo said slowly.

Wang Chen hesitated and said eventually, "Grandpa, I understand what you mean, but auntie's family is too shameless. These people might be useful to our family, but we can hurt ourselves if something goes wrong. Besides, the Wang family is a major wealthy family in Yan Jin. Why do we have to rely on him?"

The other members of the Wang family all nodded.

"It's because you haven't heard about the latest news." Wang Zhongguo closed his eyes and heaved a sigh, looking shocked and confused. "Two weeks ago, he fought with the United States and forced them to retreat."

Everyone was startled.

"What?" Wang Chen yelled.

Chapter 610: The Wang Family's Surprise

America!

The name cast a spell that silenced everyone. It was a name that belonged to the overlord of the earth.

The Wang family might not know Lin Shuming, Damon, or the Dark World Arbitration Department, because they were not from the Dark World. If they weren't related to Chen Fan, they wouldn't even try to meet him.

However, the United States of America was a different story.

It was a country that had influence everywhere. Their one hundred or so military bases covered the entire globe. Every nation, or major families lived under the shadow of the international behemoth.

Therefore, no one believed that Chen Fan could have defeated the U.S.

"It's Impossible, Grandpa. The U.S. is the world's police, why would it bow to one man?" Wang Chen said before Wang Ben could say anything.

The other members of the Wang family shared his shock and disbelief, including the old granny.

The old granny was over eighty years old and her stubbornness only increased with her age. She didn't buy any of it when she heard about Chen Fan's feats such as the Living legends and about killing a sage. She thought it was bull*t. Nonetheless, she was shocked when she heard the news.

"Grandpa, why haven't I heard anything about it?" Wang Chen asked in a deep voice.

Wang Zhongguo shook his head and said, "That's because the United States of America has blocked all the news. We're not from the Underground World, so we wouldn't know."

As a global superpower, the United States of America would never swallow the pain of being defeated. Although it wouldn't bring Chen Fan down, it was still capable of stopping the flow of information. By then, the news was only circulating on the FBI's private server.

"Dad, there is a limit to a man's capability. Chen Fan is only twenty two years old, and even if he started cultivating as soon as he was born, it's still farfetched to think that he could defeat America," Wang Kefeng said in disbelief.

The other members of the Wang family were also perplexed by the situation.

They didn't dare to question the Old man, but neither could they come to terms with Chen Fan's power.

"Chen Fan didn't defeat the United States of America, he forced the nation to back down." Wang Zhongguo tapped the floor with his cane and told everyone about Chen Fan's achievements overseas.

The room became completely silent when they heard that Chen Fan had destroyed three aircraft carriers and obliterated an entire island.

To them, aircraft carriers were invincible.

The United States of America had eleven aircraft carriers; thanks to that, they could launch an assault at any country in the world. To destroy an island under the threat of being attacked by aircraft carriers was unbelievable.

"He is.. No... it's impossible. Someone must have exaggerated the facts," Wang Keshan exclaimed.

He wanted to say that it was bull*t, but he didn't dare to call out the Old man, so he rephrased his comment.

"Director Xiao from the Special Case Departments told me personally," Wang Zhongguo said slowly.

Wang Keqin's face became serious when he heard Director Xiao's name.

The Special Case Departments had a much higher status in the government system than any other department, making Director Xiao a formidable force in Yan Jin. No one would question his words.

"He can destroy an island? He is almost as powerful as a nuclear bomb."

Wang Keqin and the others looked at one another in fear.

They didn't know how powerful Chen Fan was, and therefore they didn't respect him. However, hearing that he was as powerful as nuclear weapons had put things into perspective for them.

Even the thought of Chen Fan's power gave Wang Chen the chills.

Wang Hao and Wang Ben both gaped in disbelief. They felt as if they were listening to an overblown fiction story.

"Therefore, under no circumstances should you mess with Chen Fan. Make sure you're on his good side and treat him as one of us," Old Man Wang said in a deep voice.

The other members of the family nodded in agreement, but the scowl on their faces betrayed their true thoughts.

They admitted that Chen Fan was powerful, but so was the Wang family. They might not want to provoke Chen Fan, but they could at least avoid him. Asking them to kiss Chen Fan's a* really didn't sit well with them.

"Humph! Do you really think I want to ask Chen Fan over? I wouldn't have to do this if any of you were half as powerful as he is!" The Old Lord Wang snorted.

"Our family is on the brink of becoming irrelevant. Do you think the Xiao family, the Li family and the Qin family are going to treat you nicely once I pass away? All that I have built up over the years is going to go down the drain once you guys take over. I am the only person that has kept our competitors at bay!"

Then, the old man heaved a sigh.

He wouldn't need to cozy up to Chen Fan if the Wang family was on the right track.

None amongst the second generation of the Wang family was fit to lead the clan. Wang Chen was the most competent heir among the third generation, but it would still be another twenty to thirty years before he could really take on the responsibility.

The old man's scolding rubbed the others the wrong way.

Wang Keqin and Wang Kefeng's faces were awash with displeasure. They felt looked down upon by their own father.

Grandma Xue Hongmei broke her silence, "I think Keqin and Kefen are doing a great job. Plus, it would still take one or two decades before we have to really worry about your health. Why do we have to kiss that little sh*t's a*? I don't like his face!"

Wang Hao and Wang Ben agreed. Although Wang Chen had kept his silence, a flicker of pride flashed in his eyes.

"Fine, fine. Maybe I am overthinking."

Wang Zhongguo shook his head.

He didn't think that the Wang family would crumble at this moment, but he was a prudent man and knew the importance of being prepared. If Chen Fan really was as powerful as everyone claimed, then his support would make the Wang family one of the most powerful families in China.

"Xiao Chen, how's the talk with the Qin family?" Wang Zhongguo asked.

Wang Chen hesitated for a moment and then said, "Old Lord Qin is onboard with us, but not the rest of the Qin family, especially Qin Yaner."

"That's not important. She has no say in this matter." The old man waved a dismissal.

Young heirs from prominent families such as the Qin family or the Wang family had no voice in one of the biggest events of their lives.

Qin Yaner had extraordinary beauty and many highly sought after qualities. She was a merchandise of exceptional value to the Qin family; they would never allow any personal feelings to get in the way of profiting from her marriage.

"Aren't we concerned about the Xiao family at all? After all, the boy from the Xiao family was going to marry the Qin family's girl right before we showed up," Wang Chen said.

"So what? We didn't back out on our promise, did we? It was the Qin family. Why should I care?" Wang Zhongguo said lightly.

Everyone in the room was suddenly impressed by the old man's cunning methods.

Wang Zhongguo was a smart man, and never did he make a move without calculating three steps ahead.

He had been calculating his master plan ever since he made up his mind to invite Chen Fan over.

If Chen Fan still felt like he was part of the Wang family, Wang Zhongguo would put him in charge of the family, but if Chen Fan had no interest in reconciling with them, he would use Chen Fan as a weapon against his rivals.

Either way, the Wang family would be the winner in the end.

Even if Chen Fan saw through his ruse, he doubted that Chen Fan would harm his mother's family members.

Wang Chen was shrewd and observant, so he quickly guessed his grandpa's master plan.

Wang Zhongguo said at the end, "We need to be prepared for both cases. I know Xiao Fan has heard about your feelings, but we need to see the big picture."

Compared to using Chen Fan as a weapon, the old man would rather have Chen Fan permanently on their side. If the family could make Chen Fan feel that he was needed, Chen Fan might end up becoming the Wang family's life long benefactor.

"Understood, grandpa."

Wang Chen and the others replied and exited the room.

However, the heirs of the Wang family didn't share their grandfather's priorities. He had made up his mind to use Chen Fan as a weapon, partly because of their short sightedness and their pride.

"Hehe. He's going to mess with the wrong family. The Xiao family is not going to let Chen Fan get away with it. I've heard that one of the Xiao family's benefactors is the Ye family of Mount Yan," Wang Chen thought to himself as a smirk appeared on his face.

Wang Chen didn't believe that the Xiao family alone could bring Chen Fan down. However, he figured that any outcome would be good news for the Wang family, no matter who emerged victorious.

Wang Chen and the other family members were convinced that Chen Fan would feel tempted to ask for Qin Yaner's hand.

Qin Yaner's beauty was renowned among the Yan Jin's elites. Her sublime features were lethal to any man who lay their eyes upon her. Even the most pious buddhist monk would be unable to resist looking at her gorgeous face.

Plus, Wang Chen had learned that Chen Fan was a sucker for pretty faces and had surrounded himself with attractive diciples.

The next morning, Chen Fan and his family went out and hit most of the tourist attractions, such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City.

They returned to the Wang estate until afternoon, and they were visited by Wang Chen.

The young heir had put away his usual aloof demeanor and acted surprisingly humble.

"Auntie and Uncle, I'm hosting a party tonight at Lake Kunming. Can I take my cousins with me?"

Wang Xiaoyun nodded in agreement, smiling.

She always wished to reconcile with her family, but every time she tried to do that, she ended up being hurt again. So, she was pleased that the Wang family had finally shown some signs of friendliness to her.

Seeing his mom had agreed, Chen Fan nodded.

"Perfect. I will pick you up tonight."

Wang Chen put on a warm smile.

As soon as he was out of their villa, he made a phone call.

"Hey, Qin Tian. Your sister's fiance is coming tonight. Tell her that both families wanted her to come out and meet him."

Wang Chen put down the phone, eyes glinting.

Dusk fell swiftly and Wang Chen showed up before Chen Fan's residence on time, driving a black Audi. Although the car didn't look special, its license plates were reserved for the most powerful men in the city.

"Autumn Lake Palace is located on the east side of Lake Kunming. It used to be part of the imperial garden and was bought by a tycoon a few years ago. It was fully renovated and remodeled as a private club."

Wang Chen was very talkative along the way.

Chen Fan replied to his questions calmly.

Half an hour later, the Audi pulled over at the restaurant decorated in a traditional Chinese style.

They arrived at the Autumn Lake Palace.

Chapter 611: The Most Beautiful Woman?

Qiushui Pavilion at Lake Kunming.

It was evening. The glorious pavilion was ablaze with lights. Looking through the antique gates, a lot of beautiful maids in long historical gowns were walking around with beverages and food.

Those maids were all exceptionally gorgeous. Any one of them could be the dream girl of countless people.

"Tong was of humble birth. Even though he's a top magnate now, his taste has never changed."

Wang Chen shook his head with disdain in his eyes.

No matter how humble he pretended to be, he couldn't wipe his arrogance off his bones. Chen Fan sat in the car and remained silent.

If it wasn't for his Mom and for the purpose of understanding what the Wang family was planning, he would have never gone to a banquet like this.

"Master Wang, you're here. Why didn't you tell me?"

A fat man in luxurious clothes ran out drenched in sweat. When the maids saw him, they all bowed and said, "Mr. Tong."

Tong Zhouliang, a famous magnate in Yan Jin.

Chen Fan knew him in his past life. This man had always been in the top thirty of the Forbes Billionaire List and was worth hundreds of billions. Still, he was quite respectful to Wang Chen.

"Tong, look at your taste. You should redecorate the palace. I don't want to invite guests here anymore."

Wang Chen grunted.

"I will, I will," Tong Zhouliang replied and looked at Chen Fan. "Master Wang, who's this?"

"My cousin, Chen Fan," Wang Chen said.

"Ah, Master Chen. Please come in. Master Qin and Master Hao are both here," Tong Zhouliang said.

As Tong Zhouliang led the way in front of them, the two rows of pretty girls in historical costumes on the side bowed together and greeted them.

"Tong recruited them all from the high-ranking high schools in Yan Jin. They're all pretty, talented and obedient. If you want any of them, you can take them away."

Wang Chen was feeling complacent and he glanced at Chen Fan.

He wanted to see how surprised or greedy Chen Fan looked. Such a big spender like Tong Zhouliang was very rare in the country.

And yet, Chen Fan was expressionless, as if there was nothing special in front of him.

"Do you think you can astonish me with such a standard? A Star Clan in the universe once brought me a whole planet of beauties of different races, including Nascent Soul female cultivators and Goddesses, all for the sake of survival. I didn't blink even once."

Chen Fan sneered and shook his head.

With Wang Chen's capability, he wouldn't have become one of the top masters in Yan Jin City without the support of his family. Compared to him, Han Juntu was way more outstanding.

"Strange. Perhaps he's not interested in intimate relationships?"

Wang Chen wondered.

After walking down the corridor, they finally arrived at the main hall. The Qiushui Pavilion seemed to be a small building on the outside, but its interior was like a palace complex.

The entire palace was magnificent and enormous red lanterns lit up the hall.

Many young people were standing in the hall with a glass of wine, talking to one another. They were basically all under thirty and were indeed the junior members of the major families. Chen Fan even saw Wang Chenchen and the group of teenagers he had met the other day.

"Is that him?"

The Prada girl saw Chen Fan and was startled. Zhang Yu who stood next to her was wearing a hat to cover the bruises on his face; he was frightened, as if he had seen a ghost.

"The thing is, Wang Chen's with him. Looks like he has quite a high status in the Wang family."

The girl frowned and said, "Chenchen, did you ask about his identity last night?"

"He's indeed my cousin, but I'm not sure about the details," Wang Chenchen said and felt sorry.

Although she didn't know Chen Fan's real identity, she saw with her own eyes that Chen Fan disrespected Wang Keqin and the old lady, but even the Old Lord Wang couldn't do anything about it. Wang Chenchen was totally in awe.

"Looks like he's more mysterious than I thought! Is he a low-profile master of some large family somewhere? But the only powerful Chen family is the one in Jin City..."

While the girl was pondering, Zhang Yu suddenly said, "Is that Master Qin Tian? Why is he going for that man? He seems to be pissed."

The others heard and immediately looked over there.

Master Qin Tian of the Qin family rushed towards Wang Chen furiously and stared at Chen Fan. "Wang Chen, is he the one who wants to marry my sister?"

"Marry your sister?"

Chen Fan frowned and was confused.

"Stop denying! Everyone in Yan Jin knows that my sister Qin Yaner and Brother Xiao Xuan are meant to be together. They were already engaged and will get married soon, but the Wang family suddenly came one day and persuaded my grandpa to let you marry my sister. Do you think you can hide it from everyone else?" Qin Tian snickered and said.

"What? The Wang family wants to sabotage the Xiao family's marriage? That man wants to marry Qin Yaner?"

The news shocked everyone in the hall like a bomb dropped in a lake.

Qin Yaner was the goddess in the hearts of countless masters in Yan Jin but she had always loved Xiao Xuan. Everybody agreed that Xiao Xuan was the only one who deserved her.

And yet, the Wang family suddenly arranged a random young man to be Qin Yaner's fiancé. Who could really accept it?

"This is big news! It'll definitely cause an uproar in Yan Jin."

"Tut-tut, how dare him! How can he steal Master Xiao Xuan's woman?"

"The Xiao family is the top family in Yan Jin City and is much more powerful than the Wang family. Wang Chen can't compete with Master Xiao."

All of the guests looked at Chen Fan and gloated.

Zhang Yu and the others were completely startled.

"Chenchen, your cousin is going to steal Brother Xiao Xuan's woman?" the serious girl said as she turned to Chenchen. Nobody knew that Xiao Xuan was this girl's brother and she had always looked up to him. How could she accept that someone would take her sister-in-law away?

The girl's eyes were cold as ice.

"I don't know."

When Wang Chenchen saw that the girl was about to dish out more rage at them, she immediately held her hand and said, "Sister Xianzhu, calm down. My cousin seems to be powerful. Even grandpa and uncle tread lightly around him."

Wang Chenchen was right.

But the others thought she was joking. How would people like the Old Lord Wang and Wang Keqin be afraid of a twenty-year-old young man?

"Hm, how can you still call me sister after doing such a thing?"

Xiao Xianzhu grunted.

Meanwhile, there was a heated discussion in the hall.

"I have no idea what you're talking about. Hey kid, I already have a girlfriend and we'll soon be engaged. Leave me alone."

Chen Fan laughed and waved his hand.

Qin Tian flushed and wanted to punch Chen Fan's face. He was a bit short and was a dollface, so he hated it when people called him a kid.

"Master Qin, calm down! This is something the Old Lord Qin has decided. There's nothing you can do about it."

Wang Chen tried to stir things up.

"Hehe"

As expected, Qin Tian smirked and looked at Chen Fan.

"You think you only need my grandpa's approval? My sister will never agree to marry you. Besides, once Brother Xiao Xuan knows about it, would the Xiao family let you get away? I'm telling you, my sister will be here soon. You still have a chance to back off."

Then, Qin Tian sniggered.

A sudden idea came to Chen Fan's mind as he listened.

He finally realized what the Wang family wanted to do. He shook his head and sneered.

"I thought the Wang family had changed. If they had genuinely tried to make up for my parent's grievances, I might have agreed to help them, but it turns out that things are not as I thought. Do you really think I'd stop myself from killing because of family relations?"

"Cousin, it's my fault. I should have told you beforehand," Wang Chen said.

"We knew that you and your family had felt wronged this whole time, so grandpa wanted to find an opportunity to compensate for it. It just so happens that his old friend has a very pretty granddaughter and is regarded as the most beautiful woman in Yan Jin. You'll see her in a minute. You deserve a woman who has the top appearance, family background and talents."

He pretended to be very sincere, as if he were trying to help.

"For this, the Wang family offended the Xiao family and grandpa even went to beg his old friend, but don't worry about it, it's something our family should do to make up to you. When we tell auntie, she will also be thrilled," Wang Chen continued.

Normal people might have been fooled by Wang Chen.

The Wang family offended the Xiao family just to introduce the most beautiful woman in Yan Jin to Chen Fan. In his previous life, he might have accepted the offer and feel grateful about it.

But he had long seen the coldness in the Wang family. How would he fall into the trap?

"Hm, if the Wang family wants to make trouble, I won't stand in your way."

Qin Tian snickered.

Xiao Xianzhu looked as cold as ice as she stared at Chen Fan with her fierce eyes.

The others gathered around and witnessed the scene. Many of them were feeling jealous; they wanted to be in Chen Fan's place. After all, Qin Yaner was the most beautiful woman in Yan Jin.

Suddenly, a clamor of voices came from the entrance.

"Miss Qin is here with... Master Xiao Xuan?"

Everyone became silent.

They had never thought that Xiao Xuan, who didn't show up very often, would come to the banquet!

Everybody was looking forward to seeing them.

A couple walked into the hall. The man was tall, handsome and dignified like a born leader, while the woman was extraordinarily gorgeous who looked pure and sexy at the same time.

It was Xiao Xuan and Qin Yaner.

Chapter 612: Wussing Out?

The Xiao family was the top family of Yan Jin.

Xiao Xuan was the most outstanding master among the younger generation in all of Yan Jin. Not even Han Juntu, Li Mufan and Wang Chen were as successful as he was.

This young man, who was named the "Dragon of the Xiao family," rarely attended the gatherings of the junior members in Yan Jin. His social circle included the top entrepreneurs in the country, celebrities, foreign consortiums and senior members of the major families. Some members of this community had never ever seen Xiao Xuan before.

When Xiao Xuan walked in, his momentum immediately overwhelmed the other guests.

"Brother."

Xiao Xianzhu went to greet him and to whisper in his ear.

Xiao Xuan sized Chen Fan up. There was no hatred in his eyes, but curiosity and shock. What was so special about Chen Fan that even the Wang family would dare offend the Xiao family for his sake?

The sexy woman beside him stared at Chen Fan with her beautiful eyes; she couldn't wait to tear him apart. Even though she was furious, she looked a bit cute, like a small, angry kitten.

"Master Xiao, I didn't know you were coming," Wang Chen laughed and said.

"Forgive me for coming uninvited, Master Wang." Xiao Xuan smiled and looked at Chen Fan. "This is?"

"He's one of my cousins from the Chen family. This is his first time in Yan Jin so I wanted to introduce him to the others of the same generation."

Wang Chen was vague when he introduced Chen Fan.

After all, Chen Fan had become famous in the Dark World, and among many top consortiums and big countries. Even though not a lot of people could recognize him in real life, most of them had heard of his name.

The name "Chen Beixuan" was even more well-known!

"Mr. Chen."

Xiao Xuan smiled with his hand outstretched, trying to shake hands with Chen Fan.

Chen Fan completely ignored him, putting his hands in his pockets. He looked to the side at Qin Yaner and shook his head.

"Wang Chen, is this Qin Yaner who you want to introduce to me? She's not even as pretty as my disciple! The most beautiful woman in Yan Jin? Are you kidding me?" Chen Fan said as the hall became silent.

Countless dumbfounded people looked at him as if he were a monster.

"He... he's unbelievable! First, he ignored Xiao Xuan. Then, he said Qin Yaner isn't good-looking. He's offending the Xiao family and the Qin family to the max!" The Prada girl said.

Zhang Yu was feeling regretful.

He wouldn't have provoked a fool who didn't care about consequences. This man was completely insane!

"People like him won't be able to survive more than three days in Yan Jin's social circle!"

Someone snickered.

The others also felt the same and nodded.

Xiao Xianzhu hit her forehead, feeling ashamed.

"I've overestimated him. I thought he was a person who planned before making a move, but he turned out to be this reckless! If it weren't for the Old Lord Wang, he would have been beaten up and kicked out of Yan Jin."

Xiao Xuan was so startled he even forgot to move his extended hand.

Chen Fan said to Qin Yaner, "Go home and tell your old man that I won't accept this marriage! Don't even think about it! I'm out of his league. As for you, I don't care who you marry."

Then, he patted Wang Chen's shoulder.

"You too. Tell the old man that my marriage is not something for him to decide."

The end.

Chen Fan ignored everyone and left with his hands behind his back.

The eyes of countless people popped out.

However, Xiao Xianzhu's eyes twinkled and she stared at Chen Fan.

"I thought he was a boorish man, but he knows when to step back! He was only trying to express his attitude towards the marriage and yield to the Xiao family. Then, our family won't take revenge on him and the others will only see it as a joke, doubting his taste."

There were many smart people in the world, not only Xiao Xianzhu.

Soon, a lot of them understood what Chen Fan meant and nodded.

A tall man in white shirt sitting in the corner commented, "Looks like he's smart and he knows his place. It's just that he used a wrong way to deal with it and offended the lady."

All the people around him shook their heads and mocked him.

"Qin Yaner has always been regarded as the most beautiful girl in Yan Jin, but someone just told her today that she doesn't look good and rejected her in front of others. I guess she'll remember him forever."

In fact, not only forever!

Qin Yaner had been trembling since then and there was anger flaming within her!

Since Qin Yaner was a teenager, no one had ever criticized her appearance. She had gained countless titles throughout her life, including the campus belle in both high school and the university, as well as being mentioned as the most beautiful woman in Yan Jin. Even though Qin Yaner didn't seem to care, she actually felt smug about it. Which girl didn't like being adored?

And yet, Chen Fan rejected her in front of everyone else because he thought she looked ugly.

Qin Yaner knew it was only an excuse, but she was still furious. Especially when she looked into Chen Fan's eyes, she could truly feel that Chen Fan was indeed not interested in her at all, which made her feel heartbroken.

"Calm down. Calm down!"

Qin Yaner clenched her fists and restrained herself from going after Chen Fan.

Xiao Xuan then smiled and said to Wang Chen, "Master Wang, your cousin is incredible! Bring him out for a drink next time. I'd like to be friends with him."

Xiao Xuan had never seen Chen Fan as his rival. He thought it was only a little drama and he could handle it by himself. Chen Fan had just backed off in a special way.

"Sure... sure."

Wang Chen forced a smile while feeling furious in his mind.

Since Chen Fan had rejected the marriage, his plan had apparently failed. He even feared that Chen Fan might have discovered the Wang family's plan already. If so, he didn't know what would happen after that.

Qin Tian sneered on the side.

"Well, at least he knows his place, but... his disciple is truly prettier than my sister is."

As he spoke, he felt a hint of viciousness coming towards him.

"Qin... Tian!"

The incident which was supposed to cause a fight between two top families didn't seem to have the desired results.

However, everyone in Yan Jin's upper-class community was smart and they immediately got the idea.

"That guy seems to be supercilious, but he's actually wussing out. He used a weird way to do so."

"Right, he used a more or less decent way to back out of the situation. If he really marries Qin Yaner, the Xiao family would never let him off!"

"How clever. He stepped out of the trouble."

A lot of junior members discussed it together.

And the seniors didn't seem to mind at all.

Nobody could stop the marriage between the Qin family and the Xiao family; not the Qin family, not the Wang family, since the Xiao family was the top family in Yan Jin!

A group of people gathered in a secret clubhouse.

"Among the top five major families in Yan Jin, the Xiao family is the most outstanding and powerful."

"Behind the Xiao family is the legendary Ye family. The Old Lord Xiao and the leader of the Ye family are old friends; the Xiao family won't collapse as long as the Ye family still exists. Even though the Qin family and the Wang family are both in the top five families, they're much less powerful than the Xiaos."

The leader was the man in white shirt who was previously at the clubhouse.

"Brother Ouyang, what do you mean?" Zhang Yu asked.

"It's simple. Under such a circumstance, the Old Lord Qin would never make trouble with the Xiao family. Otherwise, even if he worked with the Old Lord Wang, they wouldn't be able to win against the Xiao family," the man answered.

Ouyang Qiong.

A famous master among the younger generation in Yan Jin.

Although the Ouyang family wasn't a large family, Ouyang Qiong was highly capable and he had established an investment alliance. Many other masters had also learned about investing, stock trading and entrepreneurship from him, having made a lot of money thanks to this. Ouyang Qiong might not be the most outstanding but he was comparable to those like Han Juntu.

"So, the Qin family was only trying to see how sincere the Xiao family is. The appearance of Xiao Xuan today has definitely reassured the Qin family and the Wang family has also backed off," Zhang Yu said.

"Looks like that guy was only a pawn of the Wang family to allay the anger of the Xiao family."

Then, Zhang Yu banged on the table.

"I should have sent someone to break his legs. See, how would a member of a collateral branch be so arrogant? Haha, you're useless now. Let's see who you can rely on."

A glint of resentment flashed in Zhang Yu's eyes.

Ouyang Qiong frowned and thought.

"Theoretically, there's still a possibility that the Qin family has the support from a powerful family like the Ye family! But I guess it wouldn't be the case. There's no family in China that can compete with the Ye family!"

Ouyang Qiong immediately shook his head and forgot about such a ridiculous idea.

Everyone in Yan Jin saw it as a joke.

As for Chen Fan, many thought that he was only a pawn of the Wang family and he chose to back off once the situation was unfavorable for him. His way of dealing with it might have been a bit strange, but he would eventually submit to the Xiao family.

"The Xiao family is indeed our top family. The Qin family and the Wang family have made a huge mistake."

An elder heaved a sigh.

While everyone thought the incident was over, an earth-shattering news came out the next day.

The Old Lord Qin visited the Wang family with all the senior members of the Qin family and proposed a marriage to them.

Many were stunned!

Chapter 613: Yan Jin Was Stirred

"How is that possible? Is it true?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"It's true. My friend saw the seniors of the Qin family and the Old Lord Qin getting in the cars. They're now heading to the villa in North Mountain and I guess they'll arrive soon. I heard that they're going to settle the matters about the marriage," someone explained.

The others stared at one another.

They thought that this drama would end after Chen Fan had backed off. People might just talk about it for a while, despising the poor thing from the Wang family, and it would soon be forgotten. Yet, it seemed to be not that simple.

"There's still a chance for things to go as planned. Now that the Old Lord Qin is going there in person together with the other seniors of the Qin family, it seems that there's no turning back."

People's hands were shaking.

When the rumors were spread, the Qin family could have told people that it was a lie and the Wang family could just send Chen Fan out to deal with it. However, with the Old Lord Qin himself going to pay a visit to the Wang family, Qin Yaner would have to compromise no matter how much she disagreed.

This was getting real.

People who knew about it were frightened. Would there be fights again in the peaceful Yan Jin? Many of them even rushed to the North Mountain to see if it was true.

In a manor at Lake Kunming.

After hearing the news, Qin Yaner was so startled she dropped the lipstick on the floor. Her body trembled and her face turned pale, looking completely depressed.

Qin Tian knocked over the chair and ran out like a bull.

"I'll talk to grandpa and ask him about it."

When he walked to the door, two guards stopped him.

"I'm sorry, Master Qin. The Old Lord said you two aren't allowed to step out of the door before he comes home. Otherwise, I'll have to stop you by force!"

The guard looked serious and fierce.

Qin Tian was about to rush out but a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Xiao Tian, it's alright."

He turned around and saw Qin Yaner sitting in front of her dresser, looking calm as if she had already accepted the situation, but her eyes remained still, like stagnant water.

The Xiao family's mansion, in the Golden Autumn Garden.

When Xiao Xuan heard the news, his eyes were filled with perplexity, doubt, shock and regret. Xiao Xianzhu even jumped up and mumbled, "Has the old man lost his mind? How can he do that? Doesn't he know that you and Sister Qin are meant to be together? Why would the Qin family want to offend us?"

"It's too late."

Xiao Xuan closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with hatred and viciousness. Xiao Xuan got up and said, "All right, the Qin family and the Wang family have a lot of guts!"

"How dare he try to touch my woman! Does he really think I won't kill him?" A glint of coldness flashed through Xiao Xuan's eyes.

In the Li family, the Han family, the Ouyang family...

Countless upper-class families focused their attention on the villa in North Mountain.

In North Mountain's No.5 Villa.

Ever since this villa had been built, it had never caught so much attention. Groups of people had gathered around and looked at the villa with troubled faces.

Many of them were the junior members of the Wang family.

They had just heard that Chen Fan was going to marry Qin Yaner and all of them were having complex feelings about it.

Qin Yaner was the most beautiful woman in Yan Jin and a lot of people admired her. If she hadn't been engaged to Xiao Xuan, many men would have tried to win her heart.

Ouyang Qiong and some others had been there for a while. Suddenly, Zhang Yu yelled, "Here comes the Qin family!"

A long line of black cars were driving up the mountain. When the first few cars stopped, many brawny bodyguards got out.

The Old Lord Qin had come in person. How dignified was he!

Then, the seniors of the Qin family also got out of their cars.

"Qin Dongshan, Qin Dongfeng, Qin Donglai..."

Many famous heavy hitters in Yan Jin got out of their cars one by one and stood in front of a car in the middle. In the end, the door opened and a middle-aged man helped a white-haired old man off the car slowly.

"That's the leader of the Qin family and Qin Yaners' father, Qin Dongmu. The old man next to him must be the Old Lord Qin."

People around them held their breath and witnessed the scene.

The Old Lord Qin walked to the door and rang the bell.

"Ding dong..."

The door opened soon. It was Wang Xiaoyun.

She greeted the Qin family warm-heartedly.

"I'm here to see Mr. Chen."

The Old Lord Qin bowed.

"Uncle Qin, come in. Xiao Fan is inside. You too, Brother Dongmu," Wang Xiaoyun said quickly.

With the help of Qin Dongmu, the Old Lord Qin entered the villa, while the other seniors waited at the door.

Everyone gasped while they watched this.

"Who exactly is he? The Old Lord Qin wouldn't even visit the President himself," They wondered.

Ouyang Qiong's eyes twinkled and thought, "Even the President of a small country doesn't have such a high status. Only those of the five superpowers would have this status."

The news proved that the Qin family was serious this time.

The building was still peaceful and quiet regardless of the heated discussion outside.

Qin Dongmu helped the Old Lord Qin into the yard and saw Chen Fan. He was sitting on a wooden rocking chair, eating snacks and enjoying the sun.

"Xiao Fan, the Old Lord Qin and Uncle Dongmu are here."

Wang Xiaoyun reminded him.

Chen Fan then got up and looked at the old man.

"I've already said that your granddaughter is too ugly. Don't even think about it."

Chen Fan rejected them because he didn't want to fall into the Wang family's trap, and he was also not interested in Qin Yaner. Qin Yaner was indeed beautiful, but she was only an ordinary woman.

And yet, An Ya, Fang Qiong, A'Xiu and Yukishiro Sa had gained ethereal beauty after cultivating. Any one of them could compete with Qin Yaner.

There were so many beauties. How would Chen Fan lay eyes on Qin Yaner?

Qin Dongmu was enraged after hearing Chen Fan's response.

Who was the Old Lord Qin? What was the Qin family? And Chen Fan said he was out of their league?

The Old Lord Qin coughed and said, "Mr. Chen, you're indeed too superior for my granddaughter to marry you, but the thing is, this marriage has been decided before you were born. Your mother also knew about it."

"What?"

Chen Fan was surprised.

Fang Qiong and An Ya were also shocked.

Only Wang Zhongguo nodded.

Wang Xiaoyun then said with embarrassment, "Brother Dongmu and I used to be good friends and we had indeed arranged your marriage while you weren't born, but..."

Everyone present knew what she wanted to say.

After that, Wang Xiaoyun ran away from the Wang family with Chen Fan, while Qin Dongmu became the leader of the Qin family, and Qin Yaner also became more and more beautiful as she grew, so no one had brought up the matter again.

However, everything was different at present. Chen Fan had become so powerful and he was on the top of the Divine Roll. Even the Qin family had to fawn over him.

Chen Fan shook his head and said, "Old Lord Qin, do you think I would care about things like a prenatal betrothal? I already have a girlfriend and we'll get engaged soon. I'll organize the grandest engagement banquet. Thank you for your kindness," Chen Fan said as he pointed at Fang Qiong.

Fang Qiong blushed and lowered her head.

Qin Dongmu and the others were enraged, but they had to admit that Fang Qiong was as beautiful as Qin Yaner was.

While the others thought the Old Lord Qin would give up, the old man pondered for a second and said, "Well, Mr. Chen can marry both of them."

"What?"

Everyone was startled.

The other members of the Wang family were also shocked. Qin Dongmu wondered if his old man had lost his mind. How could he let his granddaughter be Chen Fan's second wife? Was this something the leader of the Qin family should say?

"You must be kidding. How can Xiao Fan marry two women?"

Chen Gexin shook his head immediately.

He was old-fashioned, so he couldn't accept such a thing at all.

"Other people might not be able to do that, but Mr. Chen can. He's not an ordinary person but an Immortal," The Old Lord Qin said.

The Wang family was speechless after his reply.

They finally realized how superior Chen Fan was. Even one of the five major families in Yan Jin, the Qin family, wanted their precious girl to marry Chen Fan at all costs to benefit from it.

Wang Zhongguo and Wang Keqin looked at each other and noticed how they were similarly startled.

"The Old Lord Qin is truly resolute this time. He's putting the weight of the entire Qin family on Chen Fan!"

Wang Zhongguo felt a trace of remorse in his heart.

Did he really do something wrong?

When the Old Lord Qin walked out of the building, no one knew what they had talked about, but they could guess by looking at his contented face.

The news spread swiftly and the entire Yan Jin was stirred.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 614: He's Chen Beixuan

There would soon be a marriage between the descendants of the Qin family and the Wang family.

The Old Lord Qin was letting his most precious granddaughter, Qin Yaner, marry an unknown man from the Wang family. While a lot of people thought it was a joke, reality had hit them hard.

"F*k, the Qin family is surely picking a fight with the Xiao family!"

"The Xiao family has always regarded Qin Yaner as their daughter-in-law and the Qin family also had the same idea, but they suddenly changed their decision. Are the Qin family and the Wang family working together to fight against the Xiao family?"

"The power of the Xiao family is unpredictable. The Qin family and the Wang family can't compete with them."

The entire Yan Jin was stirred.

The young people were all jealous of Chen Fan and wanted to take his place, while the older generation was worried about a fight starting in Yan Jin again after staying peaceful for so many years.

No one could get away from it!

Then, a descendant of the Wang family spread another shocking piece of news, saying that the guy already had a wife and Qin Yaner was only going to be his concubine.

"What?"

Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing the news.

"That guy from the Wang family was supposed to be out his depth, but it turns out that the Qin family was even agreeing to let Qin Yaner be his concubine? This was something unacceptable even centuries ago!"

Some elders sighed and said, "Silly Lord Qin! He's destroying a century of reputation of the Qin family!"

"The Old Lord Qin must have lost his mind. His granddaughter is the most beautiful woman in Yan Jin. How can he accept that she be someone's second wife? So, he'd rather let his granddaughter be someone's concubine than marry into the Xiao family?"

Many enemies of the Qin family shook their heads and snickered.

A lot of the younger generation members were so jealous their eyes were about to burst into flames.

The most beautiful woman in Yan Jin was going to be someone's concubine. Such a beauty only appeared once in centuries!

Zhang Yu and the others froze.

"What's wrong with the Qin family?" Zhang Yu wondered.

"I don't know what's going on with the Qin family, but I'm sure Xiao Xuan will go crazy," Ouyang Qiong said.

In fact, Xiao Xuan had indeed gone crazy.

As the leader of the younger generation in Yan Jin, he remained calm and confident even when he knew the Qin family went to the Wang family to settle the engagement. However, once he heard that Qin Yaner was going to be the concubine, he couldn't stay rational anymore.

"Clang."

Xiao Xuan broke eight antique vases; each of them was worth ten million and were all porcelains from the Song and Yuan Dynasty. The collectors would lose their minds if they saw this.

People around him were frightened and they didn't dare to stop him.

"How can the Qin family humiliate us like this? They'd rather force Sister Qin to be that guy's concubine than marrying you." Xiao Xianzhu was holding her fists and her body was shaking.

Xiao Xuan stopped, then took a deep breath and said, "I need to see grandpa immediately. Go find out the real identity of that guy from the Wang family. I want him to regret coming to this world."

"Yes, master."

The servants immediately lowered their heads.

At the same time, countless people were inquiring about Chen Fan and many of them were gloating since they knew that the Xiao family would never let Chen Fan get away. Xiao Xuan might not be able to fight against the Old Lord Qin and the Wang family, but it was easy for him to make Chen Fan pay.

"That young man from the Wang family is screwed," Many said.

Not only the outsiders, even the members of the Qin family didn't get it.

When the Old Lord Qin returned to the mansion at Lake Kunming, Qin Tian ran in and yelled.

"Grandpa, have you lost your mind? How can you make my sister marry that guy? He already has a girlfriend and you want my sister to be his concubine? Are you kidding me? Do you want our family to become the laughing stock of Yan Jin?"

Qin Yaner followed behind with tears running down her reddened face.

She could accept the arrangement her family had made for her and marry Chen Fan.

This was normal in a large family. No matter how decadent Chen Fan was, Qin Yaner should always be his only official wife. When he came home, he would have to respect Qin Yaner.

And yer, to publicly say that Qin Yaner was the second wife to Chen Fan would definitely destroy her reputation. She couldn't imagine how her friends, classmates and everyone else would mock her, saying that the most beautiful woman in Yan Jin and the daughter of the Qin family had to be someone's concubine.

"Do you all think this way?"

The Old Lord Qin glanced at the other seniors of the Qin family.

Qin Dongshan, Qin Donglai and Qin Dongfeng didn't say anything but their faces were full of dissatisfaction. Apparently, they couldn't understand why the Old Lord Qin forcibly married his granddaughter to Chen Fan. Even Qin Dongshan also remained silent.

"Ah, I thought you would understand me. How disappointing!"

The Old Lord Qin got up and banged on the table with anger in his eyes.

Qin Dongmu held his father's arm and said with dissatisfaction, "Dad, calm down. We respect your decision to find a husband for Yaner, but we can't accept that she marries some insignificant kid from the Wang family and be his concubine. Besides, is it worth it to offend the Xiao family?"

"Right, was it worth it? We're talking about the Xiao family!"

The senior members of the Qin family also had the same thought.

"You still don't understand!"

The Old Lord Qin shook his head and said, "Dongmu, with my status today, how many people in the world do you think can make me pay a visit in person and bow at them?"

"Well..."

The Qin family was speechless.

They had been too angry to think about it at the moment.

Just then, they suddenly thought it was weird that the Old Lord Qin had been respectful to Chen Fan since the beginning.

After all, the Old Lord Qin was the elder of one of the five major families in Yan Jin and was a big cheese in China. He wouldn't treat anyone like this except for the legendary Ye family behind the Xiao family.

Someone who was superior to the Xiao family would be like the Presidents of the superpowers.

"So, is Wang Xiaoyun's son someone powerful?"

Qin Dongmu frowned.

However, no matter how long he thought about it, he still had no idea what was so special about this young man. Even if Chen Fan was the richest man in China or in the world, the Old Lord Qin would never be this respectful!

"He's from the Chen family!"

The Old Lord Qin closed his eyes and continued in a disappointed tone.

"The Chen family?"

The other seniors and Qin Tian were confused. They already knew that, so why did the Old Lord Qin talk about it? Was there anything they didn't know?

Qin Yaner also wondered if Chen Fan had a special identity.

"You mean..."

Qin Dongmu finally realized who the Old Lord Qin meant. He asked as his eyes brightened.

"He's Chen Beixuan?"

"What? Chen Beixuan?"

Everyone in the living room was startled by the mention of that name.

Chen Beixuan was at the moment high above the world like the sun, on an equal footing with the big countries. The Qin family was a large family after all, so they must have heard about his name.

Having defeated Japan, Russia and the European Union, all of it was like a myth.

"Right, right! He's a twenty-year-old young man from the Chen family and has such a superior status, who else can he be if not Superpower Chen?" Qin Dongmu clapped and said while trembling, "I can't believe Xiaoyun's son is Chen Beixuan! If we only knew about it sooner, we would have made Yaner marry him long ago. Now, she can only be his concubine."

The other seniors of the Qin family were also emotional.

He was Superpower Chen!

The sixth strongest in the world who could compete with a country on his own. Compared to the European Union, Russia and Japan, the Qin family was nothing. Even the five major families in Yan Jin together couldn't compare to Superpower Chen.

The Wang family wasn't afraid of Chen Fan because they had family relations and they didn't fear that he would take revenge on them, but the Qin family would not dare to disrespect this incomparable figure, the top person in the world!

Qin Tian got up and said, "He's Chen Beixuan? Oh God, he's my idol!"

Qin Yaner had no idea what was going on. She whispered, "Brother, who's Chen Beixuan? Why do you all... seem to know him?"

Qin Yaner was a girl so she didn't care about those things.

Besides, the seniors of the family wouldn't tell her about it, and she had been living in the sunlight without having any contact with the Dark World.

"He's the most powerful person in the world right now. I heard that he defeated the Japanese brigade by himself, and the Prime Minister of Japan was so scared he didn't go out for three days. He also slaughtered the General of the North Division in Russia and went all the way to Moscow, forcing their President to beg for mercy. Moreover, he even sank a fleet of the European Union. So, what do you think? Is he strong or not?"

Qin Tian was extremely thrilled.

"Not only that, Chen Beixuan has made the United States give in not long ago. He blew up an island in front of three American generals. After that, he's risen to the top of the Divine Roll and has truly become Superpower Chen," Qin Dongmu said. The information he got was more detailed.

"Huh?"

Qin Yaner was completely stunned.

She thought Chen Fan might be the heir of some super large family or a really capable business elite, but he turned out to be Superpower Chen and the top warrior on the Divine Roll, which sounded like Superman from the movies!

"Dad, I understand you now."

Qin Dongmu nodded and his eyes twinkled.

"The Xiao family indeed has the support from the Ye family, but Chen Beixuan ranks even higher than Ye Qingcang on the Divine Roll. If we can have his support, the Xiao family is nothing! We might even be able to become the top family of China."

"That's right."

Qin Dongmu then looked at Qin Yaner and said, "Yaner, don't be mad at grandpa, but marrying Xiao Xuan has no benefits to our family."

"Xiao Xuan can only become the leader of the Xiao family and become a senior official of China after forty years, while Chen Beixuan alone is a superpower who's as superior as Russia and Japan. Even if you become his concubine after marrying him, you will still be more powerful than the President's wife and can stand on top of the world to enjoy the supreme glory. The thing is... Chen Beixuan might not want to marry you."

Qin Yaner didn't reply.

But she wasn't crying or retorting anymore.

The top of the world was indeed... tempting!

Chapter 615: Get Out of Yan Jin, or Die!

In the villa in North Mountain.

After the Qin family and the Old Lord Wang left, Chen Fan said, "Mom, why did you agree? I've met Qin Yaner only once and even Sister An and Xiao Qiong are more beautiful than she is. Besides, you should know what the Qin family is planning."

Wang Xiaoyun agreed to consider before asking Chen Fan.

The Old Lord Qin left with a contented look while Chen Fan was speechless.

With Chen Fan's current status, many families and powers wanted to seek connections with him. If he accepted every one of them, he would have to marry a hundred wives. As the North Mystic Celestial Lord, how would he lay eyes on those ordinary women?

Anyone who wanted to marry him had to be at least a Divine Cultivator of the Immortal Sect or a Dao Reunion Cultivator.

"Of course I know. The Qin family appreciates my son so much they want to give me a daughter-in-law as a gift." Wang Xiaoyun raised her chin. "You and Xiao Qiong have been together for so long but have yet to marry. I'm looking forward to having grandchildren. If you keep delaying, I'll find ten more concubines for you."

Fang Qiong was flushed with embarrassment.

But the others knew Wang Xiaoyun was joking.

Chen Fan then said in a cold tone, "The Qin family wants their daughter to marry me so that they can get my support and become the top family of Yan Jin, while the Wang family just keeps adding fuel to the situation so they can get what they want. These big families are all planning something under the table."

An Ya and the others were shocked and Wang Xiaoyun's face fell.

"Ten years later, they're still the same."

Wang Xiaoyun shook her head. She was the Queen of Jin Xiu so she knew exactly what the Wang family planned to do. She just didn't want to believe it.

"Mom, I can be lenient for your sake, but if the Wang family keeps doing this, I have no other choice but to exterminate them," Chen Fan said calmly.

"Go ahead. I will always support you."

Wang Xiaoyun took a deep breath and nodded.

The incident had yet to finish and it was still escalating.

There were a lot of earth-shattering rumors among the news.

For example, Qin Yaner and Chen Fan had been engaged before they were born and Xiao Xuan was the person butting in; Qin Yaner fell in love with Chen Fan; the Xiao family was declining so the Qin family abandoned them, and so on.

Smart people could tell that someone was agitating the Xiao family so that they would target Chen Fan.

"Strange. These news seem to be spreading out from the Wang family. What are they planning to do?"

Ouyang Qiong frowned.

All the rumors about the incident came from the Wang family and they were all about Xiao Xuan. As a man, Xiao Xuan could never tolerate them.

However, how did it help the Wang family? Did the Wang family really want to go after the Xiao family?

Even Ouyang Qiong had no idea about it.

As for Xiao Xuan, he turned pale and didn't say a word.

He had just returned from the family meeting.

The seniors of the family were having an urgent meeting to discuss if they really needed to work with the Ye family to fight against the Wang family. They never brought up Qin Yaner anymore. In the battle between major families, a girl was nothing important to them. They could find a hundred beauties like Qin Yaner whenever they wanted.

But Xiao Xuan was different.

Even though he might not have feelings towards Qin Yaner, he had never let anyone touch her. For Chen Fan to take Qin Yaner away was obviously an offense to him. If he didn't take revenge, he would be too embarrassed to go out and everyone in his social circle would mock him forever.

"How infuriating... but has Sister Qin really been engaged to that man since before they were born?"

Xiao Xianzhu heard about the rumors and was furious, but she also had the same doubt.

If it were the case, Xiao Xuan was the intervener and the Xiao family would have no say in the matter.

"I'll ask her," Xiao Xuan said as he called Qin Yaner.

"Hello... Brother Xiao?" Qin Yaner said nervously.

"They said you and that guy were already engaged. Is that true?" Xiao Xuan asked.

"...Yes." Qin Yaner replied after a while.

In fact, she already knew that when she was little but she eventually forgot since nobody talked about it anymore. Even Qin Yaner couldn't believe that the person she was engaged to before she was born was Chen Fan, who was the legendary Chen Beixuan!

Thinking of how terrifying Chen Fan was, Qin Yaner quickly said, "Brother Xiao, don't do anything stupid. He's powerful. Don't provoke him..."

But she had never thought that those words would enrage Xiao Xuan even more.

"All right, got it."

Xiao Xuan hung up and got on his feet.

"Brother, has Sister Qin really fallen in love with someone else?"

Xiao Xianzhu wondered.

Xiao Xuan clenched his fists and closed his eyes to calm himself down. After a while, he said, "Get the car ready and ask Uncle Wu to come. I'm going to the North Mountain to meet that guy."

"But Brother, the information about that man hasn't arrived yet. Could you wait for a bit?" Xiao Xianzhu asked.

"No, I have Uncle Wu. No one can stop me now."

Xiao Xuan then left with fire in his eyes.

Xiao Xianzhu was anxious, since she couldn't do anything.

After hanging up, Qin Yaner sat on her bed like a statue.

She and Xiao Xuan had known each other since they were young and had never had any deep connections with each other. Xiao Xuan was the most outstanding figure among the younger generation while she was the most beautiful woman in Yan Jin. Everyone said they should be together so Qin Yaner would naturally think the same.

But then Chen Fan appeared in front of her; Qin Yaner instantly saw a different world, a different life and a different level.

"Do you want to stand on top of the world and feel the glory with him, or marry Xiao Xuan and just grow old?"

What the Old Lord Qin said went deep in Qin Yaner's heart.

She didn't like either of them. If she really had to choose one, Chen Fan was apparently a better option.

"How should I choose?"

Qin Yaner was quite confused, so she called her best friend immediately.

"Why, Yaner? I heard that you're going to be someone's concubine."

Ye Yiren's teasing voice came from the speaker.

"It's true," Qin Yaner answered.

"Oh God, really? Has the Old Lord Qin gone mad? You're his most precious granddaughter! How would he want you to be someone's concubine? Who's that guy?"

Ye Yiren sat up, feeling shocked.

"They said he's Chen Beixuan... Yiren, you're a Martial Arts Grandmaster, you should be familiar with these things. Is Chen Beixuan really that powerful as they say in the legends?" Qin Yaner asked with anticipation.

No matter how powerful the Qin family said Chen Fan was, Qin Yaner had never seen it with her own eyes after all. She might think that defeating the United States and Japan was incredible, but she couldn't tell exactly how incredible that was.

"Chen Beixuan?"

Ye Yiren went silent after hearing the name.

"Yiren, say something," Qin Yaner said after a while.

Ye Yiren had a wry smile when she continued, "I see, it's Chen Beixuan! No wonder the Old Lord Qin wants you to marry him no matter what. My Dad would also do the same thing if he knew it was him."

"No way! You're the princess of the Ye family and your grandpa is General Ye Qingcang!"

Qin Yaner couldn't believe it at all.

Ye Qingcang had been the guardian of China for decades and his status was way higher than these big families, even the Xiao family. The Ye family was also superior; it was the top family of China.

"You're not from the Martial Arts community so you can't imagine how powerful Chen Beixuan is. He's like a Deity, a God and a Sage. He's invincible and can compete with all countries on Earth," Ye Yiren said while she was in awe.

"Grandpa once told me that Chen Beixuan is twice as powerful as him!"

"What?"

Qin Yaner was completely startled.

"I'll support you if you marry Chen Beixuan. He's an Immortal Sage and is destined to become an Earth Level Deity. By then, he'll live up to five hundred years and you'll also be an immortal if you stay with him," Ye Yiren said seriously.

"Immortal?"

"Got it."

Qin Yaner nodded and seemed determined.

Once she hung up, the phone rang again.

"Xianzhu... What? Brother Xiao went to see Chen Fan?"

Qin Yaner turned pale and the phone slipped off from her hands.

Meanwhile, in the backyard of the villa in North Mountain.

Xiao Xuan went to face Chen Fan. He was tall, handsome and elegant like a prince. Behind Xiao Xuan was a middle-aged man standing with his arms crossed.

"I must admit that I've underestimated you, including the Qin and the Wang families. They've successfully pissed me off!"

Xiao Xuan pointed at the middle-aged man behind him and said, "The man behind me is a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Maybe you don't know what a Grandmaster is, but the most important thing is, he can crush you to death with just a finger."

"Oh, really?"

Chen Fan looked calm.

"There are only two options before you. Die here or get out of Yan Jin. Choose wisely," Xiao Xuan said in a cold tone.

"What if I don't want to choose?" Chen Fan asked.

"Then, go to Hell!" Xiao Xuan said viciously.

Chapter 616: It's Him?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xiao Xuan was a clever man.

Everything that happened was apparently a scheme against the Xiao family. To get out of the situation, he had to kill the key person rather than starting a battle between the three families.

Who was the key person?

"Chen Fan," of course!

The Wang family and the Qin family were arranging a marriage because of him and people were mocking Xiao Xuan because of him. Killing or banishing Chen Fan would automatically break the relationship between the Qin family and the Wang family.

"I don't know what is so special about you that makes the Old Lord Wang have your back and the Old Lord Qin agree to let Yaner be your concubine. You might be the heir of some major family elsewhere or might come from a hidden family like the Lin family, but it doesn't matter at all. You can never imagine how powerful the Xiao family is."

There was a glint of arrogance in Xiao Xuan's eyes.

The Xiao family was the top family of Yan Jin and ranked among the top three in China. Even the Lin family wasn't as powerful as the Xiao family, not to mention Chen Fan.

"I'll give you one last chance. Leave Yan Jin and never come back, or Uncle Wu will break your limbs and throw you down the North Mountain," Xiao Xuan said.

"Wu Shenhe from the Wu family of the Northwest region?"

Chen Fan sized the middle-aged man up.

"That's me," The middle-aged man said.

"I heard that you ranked eighth on the Heaven Roll with Huo Zheng since three years ago. Also, you've mastered the Fist of Dragon Fury and have entered the mid-stage of the Transcendent State. Am I right?"

"You're right," Wu Shenhe answered.

"So, you should know who I am! And you should also know that you can't let this man threaten me. I hate being threatened."

Chen Fan shook his head.

"I don't care who you are. I'll kill anyone my young master asks me to kill," Wu Shenhe said calmly.

"What a shame."

Chen Fan heaved a sigh.

"Break his arms and legs, then throw him down the North Mountain," Xiao Xuan said as he turned around and left.

He had faith in Wu Shenhe, whom the Old Lord Xiao recruited from the Wu family ten years before. The Wu family had agreed to let go of Wu Shenhe because they owed the Xiao family a favor.

Wu Shenhe had defeated countless opponents from different families in Yan Jin ever since he became part of the Xiao family. His Fist of Dragon Fury were incredibly powerful and he was still in the mid-stage of Transcendent State just because he didn't want to exhibit his full strength. He was strong enough to enter the peak stage of the Transcendent State and enter the Dark Roll.

"Even if you're the grandson of an Immortal State Warrior, how powerful can you be at only twenty years of age? A Transcendent Grand Master like Ye Yiren is still just a Grand Master. Besides, the Xiao family can bear the consequences of beating you to death."

Xiao Xuan walked away with confidence shining in his eyes.

The senior members of the Xiao family might not agree to offend an Immortal State Overlord or a hidden family because of a woman, but if Xiao Xuan had already killed him, the Xiao family would definitely protect him. After all, he was the future leader of the family.

"One, two, three..."

Xiao Xuan counted each step he took. He knew that Wu Shenhe could defeat his enemy within ten steps.

"Ten!"

When Xiao Xuan took his tenth step, a man fell next to him.

He turned to his side confidently, but then froze right away.

The person who fell at his feet wasn't Chen Fan, but Wu Shenhe!

A hole as big as a thumb appeared on Wu Shenhe's forehead; it had pierced right through his head.

The Grandmaster, Wu Shenhe, was killed within ten steps?

Xiao Xuan couldn't believe it, but he had to.

Chen Fan walked next to Xiao Xuan and said, "During your ten steps, Wu Shenhe punched nine times but his attacks couldn't get nearer than three feet from me. Then, I moved a finger and he died."

Xiao Xuan started trembling.

Wu Shenhe was already a peak-stage Transcendent State Warrior and only the Immortal State Warriors could kill him with a finger. Among the Immortal State Warriors, there was only one who was young and came from the Chen family...

Xiao Xuan slowly turned around and said, "Chen Beixuan?"

He had never thought that his enemy was the legendary Chen Beixuan, who could single handedly compete with a country! The Xiao family was like a bunch of weak kindergarteners in front of Chen Fan, not to mention Xiao Xuan himself.

"I told you not to stand in my way. I make clear distinctions between love and hate."

Chen Fan cracked a gummy smile.

When Qin Yaner arrived at the North Mountain, she saw an ambulance driving away.

Chen Fan broke Xiao Xuan's arms and legs and threw him down the North Mountain. Xiao Xuan would have died there if the guards on the mountain didn't save him in time. However, with the current technology, he would still need to stay in bed for three to five years.

"Chen Beixuan is on the top of the world and he's an Immortal State Warrior, so nobody should offend him. Xiao Xuan was wrong. He thought that the Xiao family could protect him but what he didn't know is that even the Old Lord Xiao can't frighten Chen Beixuan."

Ye Yiren shook her head with no sympathy on her face.

"If it wasn't Chen Beixuan on the mountain today but another ordinary person, the one to fall would have been that person and not Xiao Xuan. This is the difference between their strength. Chen Beixuan is more powerful than all the Xiao family combined."

Qin Yaner didn't say a word. She looked down and seemed to have understood something.

Someone broke Xiao Xuan's arms and legs, and threw him down the North Mountain!

This news created chaos among the upper-class community in Yan Jin.

Who was Xiao Xuan? He was a third generation descendant of the Xiao family, the grandson Old Lord Xiao adored most and the most outstanding young master in Yan Jin. There seemed to be a halo around him as if he were a prince.

And yet, someone dared to break the limbs of such a superior figure in Yan Jin? Who would have the guts? Was he trying to pick a fight against the entire Xiao family?

After hearing the news, Ouyang Qiong, Zhang Yu and the others were all dumbfounded.

"It's impossible! Who did that?" the Prada girl said.

"That guy from the Wang family. People said that Xiao Xuan went to talk to him with a guard, but in the end, his guard died and Xiao Xuan's arms and legs were broken. He was thrown down the North Mountain and almost died because of it."

Ouyang Qiong had never looked so serious before.

Although there had always been battles between families in Yan Jin, no one had ever been as fierce as Chen Fan. Since he had broken Xiao Xuan's limbs, the Xiao family would surely make him suffer.

"He's going to get himself killed." Ouyang Qiong shook his head and felt pity for Chen Fan.

In contrast, Zhang Yu was thrilled.

"Haha, he's bonkers! I don't need to do anything. The Xiao family would never let him get away!"

The other families had different reactions when they got the news.

The major families, including the Li family, the Han family and the Mu family, were all stunned. They immediately sent their servants to find out the identity of this guy from the Wang family.

"He's humiliating the Xiao family publicly! Since when did we have such a brave person?"

There was a clamor of comments among the seniors of the Han family.

Everybody thought that Chen Fan was screwed. Who could escape the Xiao family's revenge?

Han Juntu frowned. He felt that this guy from the Chen family was someone he had met before.

"Is it him? If he's really in Yan Jin, the entire capital will be in trouble!"

Han Juntu trembled.

As for the Wang family, they were already feeling pleased.

"Wonderful! Our plan finally succeeded! The Xiao family will have no choice but to fight with Chen Fan." Wang Chen was excited since it was his idea.

Wang Keqin and the other seniors of the Wang family all nodded and expressed their appreciation.

Xue Hongmei even snickered and said, "Well done, Xiao Chen. Eliminate that bastard so I can live a few years longer."

Only Wang Zhongguo was frowning.

Although the plan seemed to be working, such a strategy could only be used once. When Chen Fan realized what they were planning, he would distance himself from the Wang family. Their plan couldn't make Chen Fan be loyal and work for the Wang family.

"What a pity. If I had been nicer to Xiaoyun, the Wang family wouldn't have needed to rely on Chen Fan to become the top family in Yan Jin."

Even though he said so, Wang Zhongguo felt no remorse.

As a wise elder, he never regretted what he did and he wasn't worried whether Chen Fan would take revenge on him at all.

After all, Chen Fan was his grandson and Wang Xiaoyun was his daughter. Would Chen Fan really exterminate the Wang family?

Meanwhile, the Xiao family was enraged.

Xiao Changfeng banged on the table and said, "He's challenging the Xiao family and the Old Lord's dignity. Send out all our sect-servants. We must do everything we can to eliminate that bastard!"

The other seniors of the Xiao family were also furious.

The Xiao family had dominated Yan Jin for decades and they had never been humiliated like this before. To break their descendant's limbs was the biggest provocation to the Xiao family!

The Old Lord Xiao sat with his eyes closed, looking isolated from the world.

Someone suggested quietly to find out Chen Fan's identity. After all, being able to kill the Grandmaster Wu Shenhe, he must have unpredictable power.

"No matter who he is, he can't get away from us. If it doesn't go well, our Old Lord can ask the Ye family for help. No one in China can fight against the Ye family!" Xiao Changfeng said as he intensely moved his hands.

Many seniors of the Xiao family nodded.

Then, a servant came in.

"My Lord, we've got some news. That man from the Wang family is called Chen Fan. He came from Jin City and also goes by the name of Chen Beixuan!"

Everyone went silent.

Xiao Changfeng's arms remained still in the air and even the calm Old Lord Xiao opened his eyes with shock.

"What? It's him?"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 617: Who in the World Didn't Know Him?

The entire Xiao family was silent.

All the senior members froze like statues and their faces were filled with fright.

As the top family of Yan Jin, the Xiao family surely had heard of Chen Fan. He ranked first on the Divine Roll and could compete with a country on his own. The last person the Xiao family wanted to provoke right then was definitely Chen Fan.

However, he was the one who broke Xiao Xuan's arms and legs!

The Old Lord Xiao was sitting with his eyes wide open. Those who were yelling to take revenge against Chen Fan also went silent; Xiao Changfeng's face even turned pale.

"Father, Xuan is your grandson and the future of the Xiao family. We have to avenge him..."

"But that's Chen Beixuan! What can we do?" someone mumbled.

Sadly, everyone had to agree even though they were angry.

Chen Fan dominated the world and had defeated powerful countries. If they wanted to take revenge, they would have to ask Ye Qingcang for help, unless they could use nuclear weapons. However, even Ye Qingcang might not be able to defeat Chen Fan, since Chen Fan ranked higher than him on the Divine Roll after all.

The Old Lord Xiao remained silent.

"Father!"

Xiao Changfeng yelled with desperation.

"All right." The Old Lord Xiao opened his eyes and there was a glint of sadness. "Xuan indeed offended the top warrior on the Divine Roll so he deserves to have his limbs broken. Yet, he's still a member of the Xiao family and we can't just let this go."

Then, the Old Lord Xiao got up slowly.

"Chen Beixuan is powerful but this is Yan Jin and we have our own rules. We can't let him run wild. Besides, there must be someone who can compete with him in this big world."

"Father, what do you mean?" Xiao Changfeng slightly trembled.

"Get ready. I'm going to Mount Yan to meet an old friend."

The Old Lord Xiao looked up with a determined look.

Chen Fan broke Xiao Xuan's arms and legs, and threw him down the North Mountain.

This had shocked all of Yan Jin. Only three days had passed since Chen Fan entered Yan Jin, and a lot of unimaginable things had happened, including Chen Fan rejecting the engagement, the Old Lord Qin meeting the Wang family in person and Xiao Xuan getting his limbs broken.

"That guy is screwed. Now that Xiao family is enraged, not even the Wang family can save him!"

"It's true! The Xiao family is the top family of Yan Jin. The number of businesses they control surpasses that of the billionaires. Also, they are in charge of half of the energy industry in China and are as rich as a country. The Wang family is much weaker compared to the Xiao family."

"Hehe, he's indeed a ladies' man, but he won't be able to enjoy his love affairs anymore."

Nobody thought Chen Fan could make it alive.

They expected the Xiao family to catch Chen Fan, break his limbs and throw him out of Yan Jin.

And yet, three days later... Chen Fan was still relaxing on North Mountain, watching maple leaves with his girlfriend.

On the other hand, the Xiao family remained quiet. No one said anything about it, as if nothing had happened.

"No, it's not right. Why is the Xiao family not doing anything?"

The clever bystanders noticed something was off.

With the power of the Xiao family, they had to be worrying about something if they didn't take revenge immediately!

However, Chen Fan was only a normal descendant of the Wang family. There was nothing the Xiao family needed to be afraid of!

"Strange. What's going on with the Xiao family?"

Zhang Yu was so anxious to witness the moment the Xiao family broke Chen Fan's limbs, so that Chen Fan could experience the humiliation he had suffered. And yet, the Xiao family kept quiet and still.

"I think we've made a mistake."

Ouyang Qiong frowned.

"We used to think that the guy was only a pawn of the Wang family, but it seems that he's the key person to them. The Old Lord Qin is willing to allow his granddaughter to be his concubine, Xiao Xuan brought a sect-servant to see him but ended up with fractured limbs, and now the Xiao family has not said a thing. All of this because of that guy. He's definitely not an ordinary person!" Ouyang Qiong said with certainty.

"But who exactly is he?" the Prada girl wondered.

"That's something I'm also trying to figure out..." Ouyang Qiong shook his head.

"Hm, which family in China can threaten the Xiao family, which ranked top five in the country? No one can do so except for the Ye family. I don't think that guy is more powerful than the Ye family." Zhang Yu grunted.

"The Ye family? His last name is Chen?"

Ouyang Qiong suddenly swayed his body and his eyes were filled with surprise.

"Wait, what's the real name of that guy?"

"I heard from Tong that it's something like Chen Fan," Zhang Yu said as he scratched his head.

"Chen Fan... The Chen family of Jin City... Chen Beixuan? He's Chen Beixuan!" Ouyang Qiong banged on his legs and got up with twinkling eyes.

"That explains everything! Who else can it be other than the domineering, invincible Chen Beixuan? Who else has a power like that?"

"Who's Chen Beixuan?"

While Zhang Yu was wondering, everyone next to him became serious.

Chen Fan's name had been circulating in the North for a few years. All the big families in the region had heard of the things he did, including the slaughtering of the An family and the Fu family, forcing the leaders to kneel before him. However, Zhang Yu was still young so he didn't know much about him.

All of them didn't answer but just stared at Zhang Yu with looks of pity. They thought that after pissing off Chen Beixuan, Zhang Yu might not survive the Chinese New Year.

"Well, it's better if you don't know about it."

Ouyang Qiong shook his head.

While the upper-class of Yan Jin was waiting for the Xiao family to kick Chen Fan's butt...

A secret message which came from a junior member of the Wang family suddenly started circulating among them. It said that Chen Fan was Chen Beixuan and his mother Wang Xiaoyun was the daughter of the Old Lord Wang, meaning that he was Wang Zhongguo's grandson!

Many people didn't believe it at first, but as the news spread, the Qin family tacitly admitted and the Xiao family remained silent.

When they confirmed that it was true, the entire Yan Jin was heated.

"F*k, Chen Beixuan is in Yan Jin?"

"He's the top killer in the world! I heard that he once killed the leaders of sixteen families in Jin City!"

"No wonder Chen Beixuan is the only one who can frighten the Xiao family. So, why would Xiao Xuan go to see Chen Beixuan? Didn't he know that he's the one who destroyed the Black Sea Fleet?"

Not only the upper-class community of Yan Jin, the business sector, the Martial Arts community, the underground world and many foreign powers were all startled.

Chen Fan ranked first on the Divine Roll.

He was recently in Europe. Who would have thought that he would be in Yan Jin after several days and was actually Wang Zhongguo's grandson?

"Right, I remember that Wang Zhongguo indeed had a daughter called Wang Xiaoyun. She's the former CEO of the Jin Xiu Group and the Jin Xiu Group is the predecessor of North Qiong Corp."

"How can Wang Zhongguo be so lucky to have such a powerful grandson?"

"Looks like the Qin family and the Wang family are thriving. No wonder the Old Lord Qin wants his granddaughter to marry into the Wang family," countless people said enviously.

Many big families in Yan Jin were quite jealous.

The Xiao family became the top family of Yan Jin with the support from the Ye family, while Chen Fan was the top warrior on the Divine Roll and was the grandson of the Old Lord Wang; this would give a higher status to the Wang family; they might even surpass the Xiao family sooner or later.

A lot of junior members of the Wang family felt proud; they had completely forgotten how they had treated Chen Fan and his family.

As for the rest of the large families, they stayed neutral and didn't do anything. Chen Fan had broken the rules of the upper-class community, but he was too strong for the families to fight against him.

"I'm sorry, Brother Chen has to rest. No one can visit him without further notice."

Many people visited the villa in North Mountain where Chen Fan was staying, including those from the upper-class of Yan Jin, Martial Artists, envoys from foreign consortiums, and so on.

The members of the Wang family had become Chen Fan's guards, sending these people away.

Seeing those significant figures be so respectful, the Wang family became more arrogant.

Wang Chenchen walked past the front door and finally realized how superior her cousin was. "I didn't know Cousin Chen Fan was so popular. No wonder my friends want me to get his autograph."

Wang Chenchen thought as she knocked.

Wang Xiaoyun opened the door and immediately invited her niece inside.

In the No.5 Villa, Fang Qiong was dealing with the company matters; Chen Fan was lying on the sofa like a lazy master, waiting for An Ya to peel the pears.

Wang Chenchen couldn't believe that this lazy young man was the legendary Chen Beixuan.

"Cousin, what are you reading?"

Wang Chenchen found that Chen Fan was holding an invitation letter. The letter was red with black words and it looked simple and solemn like a hundred-year-old elder.

"Oh, it's a letter of challenge," Chen Fan said.

"A letter of challenge?"

Wang Chenchen's eyes popped out.

"Yes. Interesting, isn't it? I really want to meet him."

Chen Fan put down the letter and smiled.

Wang Chenchen took a peek and saw the word "Ye" on the letter followed by another blurry word. She slowly read the rest.

"Ye Qingcang...?"

Wang Chenchen turned pale right away.

January 20th, 2012, on the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Ye Qingcang invited Chen Beixuan for a battle on the top of Mount Yan outside of Yan Jin.

The world was startled.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 618: The Most Glorious Battle in a Thousand Years

Ye Qingcang.

The founder of Kunlun and the most powerful warrior in China. Ever since he became a martial artist, he had defeated the Green Gang, the Hong Sect, the Dragon Hall, the Tantric Buddhism and the Lin family. He had ranked at the top in China for sixty years and was regarded as the guardian of the country.

Chen Fan was even stronger.

The top warrior on the Divine Roll, sixth in the world and with the might to defeat superpowers alone!

These two Overlords were going to fight it out under everyone's eyes.

The news rattled the world like an earthquake and was swiftly spread from China to Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Western Europe, North America, the Middle East...

In a blink, the entire world knew about it.

"Ye Qingcang is going to fight with Chen Beixuan?"

"This will be a battle between the top warriors of two generations!"

"We must go there! This is probably the most glorious battle in the last thousand years. Throughout history, only the battle between the Deities and Earth Level Deities could compare with it!"

The eyes of countless Dark Overlords were twinkling.

Although Ye Qingcang hadn't fought in fifty years, he still ranked high on the Divine Roll, and had defeated Lin Shuming and the adjudicators of the Christian Church. Since Lin Shuming had become a Mortal Deity, what realm would Ye Qingcang be in at the moment?

Was he an Earth Level Deity?

Nobody knew.

And Chen Fan was truly an invincible warrior of the time.

Chen Fan had defeated Japan and Russia, and had suppressed the European Union and the United States. Many people had died wherever he went, including twenty Immortal State Warriors and the five Dark Lords. The strike that destroyed an island outside London was even more astonishing.

However, a lot of people assumed that Chen Fan needed a long time to gather energy for that attack, so it might not exhibit the power of nuclear weapons this time.

"Let's go to China. I will have no regrets if I can witness the battle between the two top Overlords on Earth."

A hundred-year-old Japanese Kendo Master walked outside and looked to the West.

After hearing the news, many warriors put down everything they were doing and rushed to Yan Jin. Dark Overlords, Martial Arts Grand Masters, Mixed Martial Arts Masters and Extraordinary Masters, all of them hoped to watch the battle.

Even those old Kendo Masters who had disappeared for many years were also on their way.

"Boom!"

In a golden temple in the Amazon of South America.

Many believers wearing clothes made of leaves were kneeling and worshiping. Suddenly, a golden man shot out from the temple and rose to the skies. His entire body seemed to be made of pure gold, including his eyes, nostrils and lips.

"Has the God of Gold risen?"

Countless believers bowed respectfully and were crying tears of joy.

The golden man didn't look at the people at his feet. He looked at the East and said, "Ye Qingcang, Chen Beixuan... I can't believe you two Overlords would appear within the past few decades when I was asleep. This battle is like one between Saints. I must go and check it out!"

Then, the golden man turned into a beam of golden light and flashed to the East.

In the sacred ground of Brahmin in India.

Two Yoga Gurus were sitting opposite to each other. They looked extremely old and their bodies were like dead wood; no heartbeats could be heard.

"Chen Beixuan killed Rama. I must go and see if he really has the power of the Godfiend!" the skinny Guru said.

"All right." the nother Guru replied.

In the tundra region in Russia.

Oleg walked towards the wolf pack slowly.

Among the few elders who were gathering around a fire, the brawny one with long hair and a wolf head helmet stood up and said with disdain, "Traitor Oleg, you betrayed the War Wolf King and left the pack, then chose to join an evil human country and even helped them develop Bloodline Weapons. You've been expelled from the Elders Union. Don't ever enter the sacred Wolfland again!"

Several other elders also got up one by one.

Their hair had become white, but they were still as fierce as the Snowwolf King, Galdan.

"I'm here to deliver the news. A few days later, there will be a battle between Chen Beixuan and Ye Qingcang. The fight will be the closest to a match between Saints in the past thousand years. I hope you won't miss it," Oleg said with his hands behind his back, then turned around and left.

"Haha, what's so special about a battle between two humans? Chen Beixuan is the one who killed Galdan. We showed him mercy by not taking revenge, and now you want us to watch him fight?"

While the elders were sneering, Oleg said from afar.

"Right, I forgot to tell you that Chen Beixuan slaughtered four arbitrators from the Dark World Arbitration Department a while ago. If you think you're stronger than the War Wolf King and the Dark Dukes, you can just ignore the battle."

All the elders of the pack were stunned.

Not only South America, India and Russia, many old warriors from different parts of the world went to China. Some of them might be even older than Lin Shuming; some were even Overlords from alien races.

"This isn't a normal battle. Ye Qingcang and Chen Beixuan are both top warriors in the world and are half step away from becoming Earth Level Deities. During the battle, all their energies will be triggered and developed, so one of them would surely be able to reach the Earth Level Deity realm afterwards!" an Immortal State Overlord said.

There hadn't been an Earth Level Deity in the world for over a thousand years.

The Blood Ancestor of the Kindred was only a legend and no one had ever seen him in person. Many Immortal State Overlords were stuck below the Earth Level Deity level, which was all they wanted to achieve throughout their entire lives.

Without a doubt, Chen Fan and Ye Qingcang were the warriors closest to that level.

Their battle would inspire countless people.

"Pong, pong, pong!"

Many Overlords rushed over to China.

Azure Dragon went to Yan Jin in person and commanded his men to set up an array around the city. Many of the Overlords were banned from entering Yan Jin.

Many big families in Yan Jin were shocked.

It was only a small matter where a third-generation descendant had his limbs broken. With the current technology and the power of the Xiao family, his arms and legs would be fine and he would only have to stay in bed for a few years. But still, the Old Lord Xiao asked Ye Qingcang to avenge them, causing such chaos.

"Oh God! All the Overlords around the world are gathering here in Yan Jin. It's been a long time since this last happened."

Many were startled.

"I'm afraid only the moment when the Dark World Arbitration Department mobilized the Immortal State Warriors around the world to besiege the Dharma-rāja of the Qing Dynasty a hundred and fifty years ago could barely compare to this battle today. Neither of the two fighters are inferior to the Dark World Arbitration Department!" an old Grand Master of the Tai Chi Sect said.

"Master, Chen Beixuan has once faced five arbitrators and killed four of them, but Ye Qingcang hasn't fought for almost fifty years. Isn't there too much difference between their levels?" a disciple wondered.

The disciples and juniors also nodded.

"You fool! The Dark World Arbitration Department hid for fifty years, do you think they really did nothing within that period? They might not want to provoke the United States and the Christian Church, but do you think they would really let China get away if we were weak?"

The old Grand Master grunted.

"General Ye has been the top warrior on the Divine Roll for sixty years, and you think that's a joke? People said that four arbitrators from the Arbitration Department had once come to the East but ended up running away. General Ye definitely was much more powerful than all of the arbitrators back then, not to mention how much stronger he has become after so many years."

The faces of the disciples turned pale.

There was a heated discussion in China and around the world.

Ye Qingcang had not battled for decades but the CIA still ranked him first on the Divine Roll, and only became second when Chen Fan appeared. Even though he killed less Immortal State Warriors than Chen Fan did, Ye Qingcang was too unpredictable. Who knew if he had become an Earth Level Deity?

"Grandpa, it doesn't feel right."

Unlike the Overlords, the large families in Yan Jin were all dumbfounded.

Compared to the battle between Chen Fan and Ye Qingcang, the quarrel between the three families was nothing important. The fight of the two warriors could affect the development of the world and even the American President was watching it.

The Xiao family and the Wang family weren't significant at all.

"We were only hoping Chen Fan could defeat the Xiao family so that we could snatch their position, but the Old Lord Xiao suddenly asked Ye Qingcang for help. It's only a junior member who got hurt... why would they want the guardian of China to take revenge for them?" Wang Chen said.

He was a little confused. Although things were going as planned, the influence of the battle was far beyond the Wang Family's control.

The other members of the Wang family were also anxious.

Countries around the world, many powerful forces and consortiums were following the development of the battle, and the Wang family was only an insignificant part of them. They had finally realized how influential Chen Fan was.

"Don't panic! Our family will be the winner no matter which one of them wins. If Chen Fan wins, he's my grandson. If Ye Qingcang wins, we will still be one of the five major families in Yan Jin!" Wang Zhongguo shouted.

The rest of the Wang family members finally understood.

Right.

The Wang family would be the winner no matter what. What were they afraid of?

They nodded and cracked smiles. The old lady was beaming, while a glint of viciousness flashed in Wang Chen's eyes.

"My cousin, I hope you're the one who dies..."

Meanwhile, on the top of Mount Yan.

Two men were standing with their hands behind their backs. One of them was an elder in a black robe, while the other was a man in a military uniform. They both stood upright as if they were the same person.

After a while, the man in military uniform said, "Father, why did you agree to this battle?"

Chapter 619: The Battle Begins

Mount Yan stretched for a dozen miles and the entire mountain was covered with maple trees. In autumn, the area was full of maple leaves and was regarded as one of the eight most magnificent sceneries in Yan Jin.

The elder in a black robe and the skinny man stood on the top of the mountain.

The breeze avoided their bodies as if it were being split by a knife. The elder in a black robe was sturdy and his white hair stood upright like swords.

"The Xiao family has indeed helped our family before and the Old Lord Xiao is an old friend of yours, but we have supported them for decades; the favor should have been already returned. Besides, it's just a trouble a third-generation descendant created. You can give the Old Lord Xiao some bone-setting elixir. Why do you have to fight?" the skinny man said with worry in his eyes.

"Both of you are powerful warriors in the universe. The battle between you would only make your loved ones worry and your enemies rejoice!"

"Why, Beichen? Have you no faith in me?"

The elder in a black robe asked with a hearty voice. He had to be an easy-going man.

Ye Qingcang used to be a brigand before joining the army. He used to beat people up and rob homes to do justice. He had once dominated the Gansu and Shanxi area and was a famous figure in the country, but he eventually disappeared.

"Chen Beixuan blew up an island with a strike in front of the Americans. That power is as strong as the nuclear weapon. Not even an Earth Level Deity is capable of that," the man hesitated and said.

"It's only the power of the Dharma Treasure. Chen Beixuan hasn't truly become an Earth Level Deity. Otherwise, he would have gone straight to Washington and forced the American President to apologize."

Ye Qingcang laughed.

Even though he had never met Chen Fan, he knew many things about him.

"Aside from the power of the Dharma Artifact, Chen Beixuan has once faced the five Arbitrators alone and killed four of them! This is already terrifying! You should know how powerful the Arbitrators are," the man said.

"Haha, that's a long time ago as you've said." Ye Qingcang snickered.

"Thirty years ago, the Blood Knights trespassed on our country several times and I fought with them. At first, I was losing but then I managed to turn the tide. During the last battle, even the three arbitrators together couldn't defeat me. So, who knows how powerful I've become thirty years later?" he said as the viciousness in his body surged.

"But father, you also told me that only two of you could compete with Chen Beixuan!" the skinny man said.

"Indeed." Ye Qingcang nodded.

"Chen Beixuan is so talented and he's an Immortal Sage. Even ten of me can't compare to him, but..."

Suddenly, beams of aura shot out from Ye Qingcang's eyes.

"Talent is talent, power is power! I wasn't as powerful as the Dark Duke and his companions but I fought with them again and again, and finally defeated them one by one. A strong will is very important for battling and I know I'm better than anyone else in the world in this aspect!"

The man trembled.

This was his arrogant father who never gave up! Ye Qingcang had had over three hundred battles throughout his entire life. He might not have won every single time but he was the one who stood on top of the world rather than his opponents.

"Boom!"

Then, a crimson qi pillar rose from another mountain to the sky. The Essence Qi within three hundred meters gathered around the pillar and formed a large red cloud.

"Great, a crimson pillar and a cloud of Essence Qi! Nantian has entered the Immortal State. Our family has another Immortal State Warrior now. I will have nothing to worry about even if I die on Mount Yan."

Ye Qingcang burst into laughter, and the skinny man was in awe.

Once his brother Ye Nantian entered the Immortal State, he would be able to live up to a hundred and fifty years. Besides, Ye Nantian's cloud of Essence Qi was larger than what normal Immortal State Warriors had, meaning that he had unimaginable potential. In comparison, being the leader of the Ye family was nothing.

As time passed, more and more Overlords arrived at Mount Yan from all over the world.

Even those from the North Qiong Sect, including Yukishiro Sa, A'Xiu, Dragon Lord and Hua Yunfeng, came one after another. The villa in North Mountain was suddenly packed with people.

"Master, you'll be battling in a few days. Why are you still relaxing?" A'Xiu said.

"I'm invincible; I can defeat Ye Qingcang with one hand. What do I have to worry about?" Chen Fan yawned and lay on the sofa, while Yukishiro Sa massaged his back.

A'Xiu stuck her tongue out and said, "Braggart! Even the American research team has found out that your Dharma Treasure can only attack once and it takes a long time to recharge its energy. Be careful when you go to Mount Yan! Ye Qingcang might tear you to pieces!"

"It's only research. They don't know the exact recharging time. As long as they don't know how to deal with me, who would dare to provoke me?" Chen Fan said slothfully.

The Five Elements Thunder was only used to tell the world that Chen Fan had something as powerful as a nuclear weapon.

It wouldn't be needed after that. The United States and the rest of the countries were all smart enough; they wouldn't risk offending Chen Fan. What if his Dharma Treasure could be recharged quickly?

"Ye Qingcang remained in first place on the Divine Roll for sixty years. Aren't you worried?" A'Xiu wondered.

"It doesn't matter. Am I right, Miss Red Sparrow?" Chen Fan glanced over to the door.

As expected, the short-haired Red Sparrow walked in, wearing a black leather jacket.

Red Sparrow said softly, "I can't believe you're finally fighting with the old man."

"Ye Qingcang has studied me for almost five years. He's been waiting for me to reach a certain level, so that he could fight with me to become an Earth Level Deity."

"So, it's not that I want to fight with him. He's the one who doesn't want to let go of me.

"I might be able to get away from it once, but not twice.

"No matter what, he will still initiate a battle.

"So, why shouldn't I give him a chance?" Chen Fan said lazily.

Red Sparrow turned pale as if she had seen a ghost.

"How did you know that?"

Chen Fan stretched his body and said, "Since the day I knew that Ye Qingcang was responsible for ranking the warriors on the Heaven Roll, I've always had this speculation in mind. People thought I was the young, arrogant, successful 'Kunlun' who arranged the Heaven roll at that time but they called me 'Curmudgeon Chen.' I guess Ye Qingcang had already discovered something by then."

"Are you really the reincarnation of an ancient beast or a Sage, like the old man said?" Red Sparrow wondered.

Chen Fan laughed and continued, "Ye Qingcang allowed me to dominate China and slaughter many Grandmasters and Immortal State Warriors around the world, never coming out to suppress me, not even once. Director Xiao from your department must also be under his command."

"That's right."

Red Sparrow nodded.

Chen Fan sat up and said with his hands behind his back, "Ye Qingcang has remained undefeated for too long. If the Blood Ancestor doesn't arise, the Dark Duke and his companions are the only people on Earth that can compete with Ye Qingcang. But the descendants of the Kindred can't help with his cultivation, so he's been waiting for me to appear. Apparently, he knew that I was much more powerful than he expected, which is why he grasped this opportunity to invite me for a battle."

The North Mystic Celestial Lord could hardly be fooled. It was just that Chen Fan was too lazy to think about it sometimes. After all, he could kill his enemies with a strike whatever their plan was, so why bother?

Red Sparrow was speechless and rooted on the spot.

In her mind, Chen Fan was only a reckless killer who was powerful but not respected by others. However, she saw a new side of Chen Fan that day, one that was like an all-knowing God; no secrets could be hidden from him.

"I guess Ye Qingcang didn't ask you to come, right? He's only half step away from becoming an Earth Level Deity and has waited for this battle for so long. He wouldn't want me to hold back; he wants me to use my full power to push him to the next level.

"How important is an Earth Level Deity to a country?

"He's waited for this day to come for so long.

"He needs my help."

Chen Fan got on his feet and looked to the West.

His Immortal Will spread across all of Yan Jin and clashed hard against a Divine Soul like a wave against a reef. The other party stood firmly like a mountain, as if he had merged with Mount Yan and his force was as tough as the Immortal Will.

Their forces separated immediately once they clashed.

They both knew who the other party was.

"Yes, it was my idea to come here..."

Red Sparrow lowered her head.

Chen Fan said, "Go back. Ye Qingcang is only a typical martial artist and he's longed to become an Earth Level Deity all his life. I won't hold back, otherwise, it would be disrespectful to him."

In Red Sparrow's eyes, Chen Fan was enormous, as if he were connected to the sky.

"This man is basically a Heavenly Being."

Red Sparrow looked down and walked outside quickly. She stopped halfway; she said after hesitating for a moment, "The old man went to the Deity Burial Valley in Kunlun years ago and has changed a lot since then. Be careful."

Then, Red Sparrow left.

Chen Fan stood there expressionlessly and whispered, "Ye Qingcang has indeed many cards in his hands, but he doesn't know what I'm capable of."

Three days later, at Mount Yan.

The forest within ten miles away was packed with Overlords from around the world, including the famous Dark Overlords, Martial Arts Grand Masters, Mixed Martial Arts Masters, and so on.

Countless people looked up to the peak.

The battle was finally about to begin.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 620: The Strongest Gathered

"Dad, are you sure you want to watch the battle?"

Wang Keqin helped the Old Lord Wang get out of the car. The eighty-year-old Old Lord Wang panted and looked at the top of Mount Yan.

"I can't be at ease if I don't witness the battle with my own eyes!"

Wang Chen and the others followed behind.

Along the way to the summit, many elite warriors in black outfits were guarding the two sides of the trail. They had a dragon symbol on their chests and were apparently the mysterious "Kunlun" Guards from the legends.

Wang Chen saw a lot of weird people standing and sitting behind the warriors on the two sides of the forest.

The skinny Yoga Gurus, the two-meter fighters, the blonde Extraordinaries and the vicious Martial Arts Masters...

They all looked fierce; all of them were experts from different places.

These Overlords were all famous in the Dark World. Each of them was powerful enough to be among the top ten warriors in Yan Jin; some could even compete with the late Wu Shenhe.

And yet, they stayed in the forest and weren't doing anything reckless.

"These people correspond to half of the Dark World and their power together can destroy a country," the Old Lord Wang said calmly.

Wang Keqin and Wang Chen were frightened.

They had finally realized Chen Fan's influence and might. His battle had attracted the attention of half of the world. These brave, invincible Overlords might not even take the superpowers seriously; even so, they simply stood there, evidently wary of the two top warriors.

Mount Yan had nine peaks and it stretched for more than ten miles.

The Old Lord Wang and his family members went to the second peak. Apart from them, the other major families like the Xiao Family, the Li Family, the Mu Family and the Han Family were all present.

After a while, the Old Lord Qin also arrived with the seniors of the Qin Family and Qin Yaner.

Although Qin Yaner, who was wearing a white dress, looked a bit haggard, it didn't affect her peerless beauty at all; she made people want to embrace her instead.

"She's indeed the most beautiful woman in Yan Jin. What a shame she has to marry Chen Fan."

Wang Chen was envious of Chen Fan.

Compared to Qin Yaner, his fiancée Han Junli, was a little inferior.

"Sister Qin, you're here."

Xiao Xianzhu greeted Qin Yaner and her mother immediately stopped her.

"She's no longer our daughter-in-law. Xuan got his arms and legs broken because of her and even your Grandpa Ye has to battle to exact justice. Why are you still calling her Sister Qin?"

Xiao Xianzhu froze.

Qin Yaner forced a smile and said, "It's alright, Xianzhu. Today is the day of the battle. We'll talk later."

Qin Yaner turned around with sorrow in her eyes.

A lot of people in the social circle of Yan Jin were saying that Qin Yaner wanted to hook up with Chen Fan because of his wealth and glory, and that she didn't mind sharing Chen Fan with his girlfriend as a concubine.

In a blink, she had fallen from being the most beautiful woman in Yan Jin to the trash at the bottom.

Chen Fan was too powerful and vicious. He would kill and break someone's limbs at the drop of a hat.

Many major families in Yan Jin had decided to boycott him, and the Qin Family, who wanted to establish relations with Chen Fan, was apparently against the other families.

"Brother Ouyang, who do you think is stronger?" the Prada girl asked. Ouyang Qiong frowned. Even though he had dominated the business sector and the stock market, he had no idea about things like this.

"There's no doubt that War God Ye will win! He's a hundred-year-old Overlord, and Chen Beixuan is only twenty. How can he compete with War God Ye?" Zhang Yu said.

He had spent several restless nights and veins started to appear in his eyes.

Ever since he learned that Chen Fan was Chen Beixuan, he had been so surprised he couldn't sleep at all. He waited for this day to come, hoping to see Chen Fan lose.

Ouyang Qiong frowned and didn't say anything. The other groups of people also started discussing. Almost all of them who showed up to watch the battle were from the upper-class of Yan Jin.

Many people present knew next to nothing about the Dark World; some of them simply started talking nonsense.

A frivolous man shook his head and said, "I think all of this is fake. We're in the 21st century and people are still talking about Immortal State Warriors. Are you kidding me?"

Ouyang Qiong knew him. He was Wu Zhicheng from the Wu Family, a middle-class family in Yan Jin. Even though the Wu Family possessed more than ten billion in assets, they were kind of new to the circle and had no idea how terrifying the Dark World was.

"Brother Wu is right. Modern technologies have developed a lot and humanity can do anything. We can go to space and dive deep into the ocean. Immortal State Warriors and Earth Level Deity are only part of old superstitions," another young man said.

Ouyang Qiong knew him. He was from the Yi Family of the Beihai District. The Yi Family ranked even lower than the Wu Family and was only a small lower-class family.

Hearing them discuss and judge disrespectfully, Ouyang Qiong couldn't help but shake his head.

"These families will never thrive!"

"I think Ye Qingcang is doing this only for his fame and reputation. He hasn't showed up for decades, how can people still call him the guardian of China? He's just trying to make himself popular and superior..."

While Wu Zhicheng was talking...

A thunderclap came.

A beam of golden light swept across the sky and sped towards the mountain. Then, a man whose body was made of gold appeared. He was wearing a golden robe and he held a golden scepter in his hand.

The man stood in the air and the halo around his body lit up the mountains like a God.

The trees around him were all bent due to his energy.

"This... this is?"

Not only Wu Zhicheng, the other members of the family were also dumbfounded.

They were only a group of ordinary people. They might have seen an Internal Force Master crush a rock or a cultivator cast a spell, but definitely never a golden man who could fly.

"Is this the power of an Immortal State Warrior?"

Even members of the top families like the Wang family and the Qin family turned pale.

Those who hadn't seen Immortal State Warriors could never imagine how powerful they were. They were like the Gods that overlooked people from the sky. In their eyes, humans were just like ants.

"An Immortal State Warrior is already more powerful than a god, so what about Chen Beixuan and Ye Qingcang, who are on top of the Divine Roll?"

No one dared to imagine.

Wang Chen was extremely jealous.

A glint of ambition twinkled in Qin Yaner's eyes.

"Is this what it's like to be on the top of the world? If I could go up there and look down at everyone from the air one day, all their slandering would be nothing!"

"It's the Gold Priest of the Serpent Temple in South America. I thought he died decades ago, why is he here today?"

Many Dark Overlords were shocked.

The Gold Priest was a famous figure centuries before. It was said that he had killed hundreds of thousands in South America as offerings for the Serpent God, but was then stopped by the Christian Church. Nobody had thought that he would show up again centuries later, seemingly more powerful than ever before.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss."

The arrival of the Gold Priest was only the beginning.

Moments later, a skinny elder appeared riding a long and peculiar looking snake. It had a pair of ten-meter wings and could soar in the sky like a dragon.

"Guru Guja, one of the three Gurus of Brahmin. He's the senior of Guru Rama, who died because of Chen Beixuan. Is Guru Guja coming here for revenge?"

Many wondered.

The snake Guru Guja was riding was the secret spirit animal of Brahmin called the "Nalanda Dragon." It was considered the king of snakes since birth and it could soar in the air.

After that, rays of black, crimson and azure aura came from all directions.

Many Immortal State Warriors with different powers were there, including the elder of the Druid Sect from Western Europe who was riding a giant eagle, the descendant of the Ice Giant who was a few meters tall and the Extraordinaries who came in a storm. Some of them were old warriors hidden around the world who people had never heard of before, and they only showed up for this battle.

The strongest ones were those from the North Qiong Sect.

Twenty Grand Masters and two Immortal State Warriors came together which frightened the other warriors. The members of the families of Yan Jin were also startled.

"Chen Beixuan is only twenty two years old and he already has such great power. Who else will be able to compete with him after a few years?"

The leaders of the Wang family, the Xiao family and the Li family started to become afraid.

When a dozen Immortal State Warriors appeared, the Gold Priest frowned and asked,"Why haven't Ye Qingcang and Chen Beixuan arrived?"

"Boom!"

A crimson aura shot across the sky from afar. The aura then vibrated and an old Russian man in old clothes appeared.

"War God Ye, your friends are here. Why don't you come out?"

The old man's thunderous voice was spread out in a hundred mile radius and even people in Yan Jin could hear him.

While everyone was startled, a hearty laugh came.

"Oleg, my friend, you're so impatient."

Someone rose after the voice was heard.

Everyone's eyes popped out. Ye Qingcang was finally there.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 621: An Earth Level Deity?

"Swish."

A man rose to the skies.

The elder in a black robe stood in the air with his hands behind his back and his eyes looked fierce. Once he appeared, all warriors, including the Gold Priest and Guru Guja, lowered their heads to express their respect to this Overlord, who had remained in the Divine Roll's first place for sixty years.

"War God Ye, it's been twenty years, right?"

Oleg heaved a sigh.

When they last met, twenty years in the past, Ye Qingcang's power still had a limit, but it seemed to be endless at the moment.

"It's like a blink of an eye to me."

Ye Qingcang burst into laughter and suddenly flew to the top of Mount Yan like a shooting star. He looked around and said arrogantly, "Chen Beixuan, I'm here. Come out and fight!"

He was wearing a black outfit and had long white hair like a demon.

The Old Lord Wang, the Old Lord Xiao and many descendants of the Yan Jin families were all frightened. The other Dark World Overlords also widened their eyes and were waiting quietly.

The battle like no other in a thousand years was about to begin.

"War God Ye came knowing that he could die. Since he isn't so sure that he can win the battle, he had to wait for you to become an Immortal State Warrior before he challenged Chen Beixuan."

Two people were standing on another mountain.

One of them was Azure Dragon who was wearing an azure robe, while the other was a handsome, murderous man.

Ye Nantian.

The Major General of the Dragon's Fang, the God of War in the military of China and the second on the Heaven Roll.

"After entering the Deity Burial Valley in Kunlun, father has become more powerful and is only half step away from becoming an Earth Level Deity. Even the Dark Duke can't compete with him now, and he can easily escape from the attack of an Earth Level Deity. But Chen Beixuan..."

Talking about Chen Fan, Ye Nantian's eyes stayed still.

At first, he still wanted to compete with Chen Fan, but when Chen Fan's level surged rapidly, he gave up on the idea. Nobody in the world knew Chen Fan better than Ye Nantian did.

"Chen Beixuan either came from the Gate of Heaven or he's the reincarnation of a Mortal Deity. Otherwise, how would a normal twenty-year-old despise everyone like Chen Beixuan does? Powers can be transferred to others but not the state of mind. Who knows how many cards he has in his hands when facing such an experienced warrior?"

Ye Nantian looked extremely serious.

Standing behind them were the members of the Ye Family and the disciples of Kunlun, including Ye Beichen, Ye Yiren, Red Sparrow and White Tiger. They were all feeling nervous.

Ye Qingcang was the pillar of the Ye Family. If he fell, the Ye Family and Kunlun would suffer a severe blow.

"Grandpa, you'll win, right?"

Ye Yiren looked up and prayed.

Suddenly, a clamor of voices came from the foot of the mountain.

Chen Beixuan was here!

Chen Fan didn't fly there like the other Immortal State Warriors.

He showed up at the foot of the mountain in a white casual wear, as if he were only a hiker.

"Rustle."

Chen Fan placed his hands behind his back and went up the stairs.

Right at that moment, Ye Qingcang opened his eyes and looked over.

The Dark Overlords, the families of Yan Jin and the Immortal State Warriors all held their breath.

Everybody knew that the battle had already started when Chen Fan showed up. A fight between Immortal State Warriors was not affected by distances.

"Crack!"

Chen Fan then looked up and saw Ye Qingcang who was a hundred meters away on the top of the mountain.

At the same time, Ye Qingcang also looked back at him.

An azure light and a crimson aura shot out from their eyes and clashed in the air, creating some crackling sounds. Two powerful Soul Energies then came out from their bodies and crashed against each other.

"Bang!"

There came a deafening sound in the air.

An invisible energy was quickly spread to both sides with the mountainside as the boundary. Many maple trees were uprooted and crushed into pieces. Their Soul Energy waves collided in the air and formed a hundred-meter wall between the two warriors.

"He turned his Soul Energy into a concrete substance?"

Everyone's eyes popped out.

Even though a Divine Master of Spirit could also do that, it wasn't easy to have such a great Soul Energy like Chen Fan and Ye Qingcang did, allowing them to fight with a mountain in between. How massive was their Soul Energy exactly?

"You have quite a strong Soul Energy. Ever since I started cultivating, you're the only person on Earth that can touch the boundary of my Immortal Will," Chen Fan said as he kept moving forward.

With every step he made, the boundary of the Soul Energy retreated a meter towards the peak.

Chen Fan walked ten steps forward and the boundary moved back ten meters. A large gap appeared on the mountain as if part of the forest were being removed.

"I read from an ancient book that the ancient cultivators had their own cultivation arts to nurture their Soul Energy, and they could turn it into a concrete object like a metal knife. I guess it's true."

Ye Qingcang's long hair was fluttering and the crimson aura in his eyes surged.

His Soul Energy clashed with Chen Fan's Immortal Will, but it wasn't strong enough and he was forced to fall back. Yet, Ye Qingcang didn't panic at all and was still very confident.

"Rise!"

Ye Qingcang stepped forward and raised his left hand as if he were holding the world.

"Boom!"

The Essence Qi within miles was stirred up; it swirled and moved towards Ye Qingcang. He soon created a long whirlwind on his palm as if he were Thor.

"A Mortal Deity!"

Everyone was startled.

Nobody had thought that Ye Qingcang had become a Mortal Deity and could exhibit his strongest power with a single move.

"The old man isn't an Earth Level Deity yet. If he uses the power of a Mortal Deity at his age, he's risking his life and can only live at most three hours longer," Red Sparrow said anxiously.

The members of the Ye Family also looked worried.

A Mortal Deity was indeed powerful, but after Lin Shuming and Li Changsheng, everyone knew that their lives would be at risk once they reached that level. Ye Qingcang had already been forced to use the power of a Mortal Deity at the early stage of the battle, but Chen Fan had never once used it since they began battling.

Ye Nantian said, "Father has changed. He's not the same as he used to be. Just keep watching."

"Go!"

Ye Qingcang threw out a few hundred-meter whirlwind from his hand and it went towards Chen Fan with an earth-shattering energy.

He created a whirlwind and attacked with the power of the entire world!

Ye Qingcang's attack was even more powerful than Lin Shuming's strike, back when he had split the ocean. He apparently had a more stable control of the Essence Qi than Lin Shuming did.

"Boom!"

The whirlwind struck like a black dragon.

Many members of the major families were trembling. They had never seen such a horrifying attack. The two warriors could easily gather the power of the world and throw out cyclones. They weren't humans, but celestial beings!

Zhang Yu stared at Chen Fan and murmured, "Die, die!"

Many others also looked forward to seeing Chen Fan lose.

But then, Chen Fan smiled and said, "Ye Qingcang, you can't defeat me with such a weak attack. Bring out your full power!"

Chen Fan flicked his sleeves.

"Boom!"

An unbelievably strong True Essence came out of Chen Fan's hand and a surging azure wave suddenly appeared in the air. The wave swept across the sky for a hundred meters like a tsunami and struck the fierce whirlwind.

"Bang!"

The azure True Essence clashed with the black whirlwind.

The two powerful energies created a thunderous sound. The trees on the two sides were immediately smashed into pieces and rocks were cracked. Just the aftereffect of the clash had leveled an area of a hundred square meters at the foot of the mountain.

How powerful!

Everyone watching the battle was frightened by their powers.

The eyes of the Immortal State Overlords had widened and they stared at Chen Fan.

Only they knew what Chen Fan's attack implied.

"Ye Qingcang had to gather the power of the Earth to create a whirlwind and Chen Beixuan blocked it with his own energy. To fight with the world with mortal power! Is this really something an Immortal State Warrior can do?" an old eagle rider said with shock.

"A month ago, Chen Beixuan battled with Lin Shuming above the East Sea. When facing the power of Mortal Deity, Chen Beixuan only relied on his Earth Level Deity body and armor. Speaking of strength, even the Kindred's body and countless secret arts of the Dark Duke and the Blood Knight are weaker when facing a Mortal Deity, but Chen Beixuan is able to fight the energy of the world with his own power, showing how strong he is!"

Oleg looked serious.

Everyone else was also terrified.

A Mortal Deity could control the Earth but Chen Fan could destroy the world with his power. Did this mean that his True Essence was comparable to the power of an Earth Level Deity?

"Ye Qingcang has no chance of winning this battle! With the body and power of an Earth Level Deity, aside from not being able to control the Essence Qi of the Earth, Chen Beixuan is actually a real Earth Level Deity!"

Guru Guja shook his head and gave up on his idea of taking revenge.

"Not necessarily," Oleg said with glistening eyes.

The others also looked at Ye Qingcang and saw that he attacked again.

"Boom!"

This time, it was way more powerful than the last strike.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 622: The Battle with Ye Qingcang

Ye Qingcang stomped his foot.

The entire Mount Yan shook and everyone could feel the ground vibrate. Many of them were frightened, thinking that it was an earthquake.

"Don't panic. He's gathering Earth Qi," the old Overlords yelled.

As expected, the Earth Qi turned into visible rays of yellow aura and surged from all directions to converge on Ye Qingcang's palm, forming the shape of a mountain peak.

"Ye Qingcang has lived in Mount Yan for decades and his Soul Energy has already connected with the entire Mount Yan. Fighting with Chen Beixuan here gives him an advantage!"

A Wise Man shook his head.

"Buzz."

As the Earth Qi gathered, the mountain peak on Ye Qingcang's palm became clearer and it was exactly the shape of the main peak of Mount Yan. It was formed with pure Earth Essence Qi and weighed over a thousand tons; even Ye Qingcang found it quite heavy.

"Chen Beixuan, take the attack of the Earth's power!"

Ye Qingcang laughed and threw out the yellow peak in his hand.

Without any constraints, the yellow peak grew from the size of a watermelon into a water tank, then a car, and finally to the size of a three-story building that was a dozen meters high.

What an overwhelming force!

It dropped from the sky with tons of weight. This was only a small part of the energy of Mount Yan but it was still very powerful.

"Summoning a dragon and throwing a mountain with one hand! This is a real Heavenly Being!"

Countless Martial Arts Grand Masters had tears welled up in their eyes.

They thought Ye Qingcang was going to lose, but he showed them how terrifying an Mortal Deity was. He gathered the power of Heaven and Earth and released an energy that was a thousand times more powerful than what humans possessed. Even modern technologies couldn't do that.

"See how I ward off your attack."

Chen Fan wasn't scared at all.

He stretched out his left hand and formed a knife with his palm to slash at the twenty-meter yellow peak.

"Clank!"

The bright azure blade aura lengthened to a few feet long and a sword made of lazurite appeared in the aura.

Chen Fan used his qi to form a knife which was as solid as a real one.

His True Essence had reached an unbelievable level.

"Clang!"

The azure sword struck the yellow peak and cracked it. Then, it went deeper inside and finally split the twenty-meter peak in half.

"Boom!"

The two halves of the yellow peak fell on both sides of Chen Fan and created two enormous craters at the foot of the mountain. Each crater was more than ten meters wide and everyone there could feel the vibration under their feet.

Chen Fan warded off the power of the Earth!

Before they knew it, Ye Qingcang had wrapped his arms around his body and started casting another spell.

"Heaven and Earth, combine!"

Ye Qingcang raised his left hand to lift the Essence Qi of the world and flipped down his right hand to absorb the Earth Qi. This time, he didn't hold back. He gathered the enormous Essence Qi and Earth Qi onto his hand and turned them into a cloud of qi. In the end, the cloud was mixed with different colors.

This cloud of qi contained energy gathered from a ten-mile area. Once it exploded, even mountains would be cracked.

"This attack is the secret art of the Mixed-Essence Sect, so it's called the 'Mixed-Essence Strike.'"

Ye Qingcang threw the cloud of qi as if he were lifting something that weighed a thousand tons.

"Crack, crack."

The cloud of qi flashed across the sky like a large bulldozer, making the air vibrate. The power of the attack astonished the Immortal State Warriors.

"This isn't just the power of a Mortal Deity. It's comparable to the level of an Earth Level Deity," Guru Guja said with shock.

Lin Shuming and Li Changsheng didn't have the body and the True Essence of an Earth Level Deity, so they could only use their Divine Souls to stimulate the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth. Such Essence Qi might seem powerful but it was in fact easy to break.

In contrast, real Earth Level Deities used their true power to gather Essence Qi, which made the energy denser and several times more powerful than what a Mortal Deity could muster.

However, the secret art Ye Qingcang was using combined the qi from Heaven and Earth, which would make an attack that had the real power of an Earth Level Deity.

"Wonderful! I've never thought I could still encounter someone able to control the power of Heaven and Earth."

Chen Fan's eyes were glistening.

Li Changsheng and Lin Shuming were like ordinary people holding a weapon. They didn't know any techniques, so they were only a bit stronger than an Immortal State Warrior, even though they had become Mortal Deities.

The secret art Ye Qingcang had used might not be a high-level one, but it was a technique for cultivators to really control Heaven and Earth. Just like when a warrior learned sword techniques, he had already become stronger than ordinary people.

"Ye Qingcang, you have indeed a much better control of the power of Heaven and Earth than Lin Shuming and other normal Earth Level Deities, but even if a real Earth Level Deity was here, I could kill him easily, let alone you," Chen Fan said. Then he tapped on the gourd on his waist and yelled, "Blade!"

"Clank!"

The sound of the flying sword being unsheathed was heard.

A golden blade aura was shot out from the Blade Strengthening Gourd and it sped towards the cloud of qi. It was the Sword of Essence Restoring that had been damaged before!

And yet, Chen Fan had used the materials of several western Divine Artifacts, so it had recovered and had become even more powerful than it used to be.

"Form!"

Chen Fan pointed.

The Sword of Essence Restoring immediately turned into a three-feet golden thread.

The golden thread was thin like a human hair and was made using the high-level technique of the Sword Immortal!

Chen Fan had once killed the four top Immortal State Warriors at the summit of Yunwu Mountain with this sword.

A cultivator could defeat anyone with one attack when they used this art.

"Poof!"

The golden thread slashed through the cloud of qi and split it into halves. Then, the energy inside the cloud exploded uncontrollably.

"Boom!"

It sounded as if a bomb had been dropped on the mountainside.

Trees and grass were uprooted, and soil was stirred up. The explosion covered an area of a hundred meters and the impact made the entire Mount Yan shake. When the smoke was lifted, a thirty-meter-wide pit appeared on the ground.

"This attack is as powerful as a blast from the Father of All Bombs."

Everyone was shocked.

The explosions had the power of a hundred tons of explosives and it could almost compare to a small nuclear weapon.

"Is this the real power of an Earth Level Deity? We're just like ants compared to them. Ye Qingcang can launch attacks like this because he gathered the energy of Mount Yan. I guess he won't be able to do the same in other places."

Many Immortal State Overlords wondered.

An Immortal State Warrior might be able to destroy a normal building, but an Earth Level Deity could easily kill everyone within hundreds of meters. Such a horrifying energy could destroy a city in half a day.

"Swish."

While everyone was pondering, Chen Fan didn't hold back and the golden thread had sped towards Ye Qingcang after breaking the cloud of qi.

It created a long mark in the air. Before the thread arrived, the peak had become chilly and many maple leaves cracked in half.

"Go!"

Ye Qingcang shouted with a serious look and sent out a dozen talismans.

These talismans seemed to have a history of a thousand years and were all made with the best skin of Spirit Beasts, and scales or blood of dragons.

Each talisman turned into an invisible shield, which was so hard that even a cannon would be unable to break it.

In a blink, Ye Qingcang was surrounded by colorful aura shields.

"The Taiqing Talisman of Dragon Tiger Mountain."

"The Mixed-Essence Talisman of Wu Dang Mountain."

"The Spirit Soldier Talisman of the Shangqing Sect of Mao Mountain."

"The Supreme King Kong Talisman of the Tantric Buddhism from the Great Glacial Mountain..."

The Chinese cultivators were enraged when they saw the talismans.

All of them were treasures of different sects which were passed down for thousand years by their ancestors and were the most valuable assets of their descendants. The major sects wouldn't use them unless they were cornered in a moment of life and death. And yet, Ye Qingcang was using a dozen of them at once.

"In the past, Ye Qingcang once brought Kunlun to our sect and expropriated all our ancestral assets!"

The blood of Shangqing Sect's descendants was boiling.

The members of other Chinese sects were also furious. Ye Qingcang was infamous for extorting Martial Arts techniques, ancestral Dharma Treasures, Dharma Artifacts, talismans and elixirs from different sects and families.

Therefore, Kunlun was almost as wealthy as the Christian Church and the Dark World Arbitration Department, and the amount of assets Ye Qingcang had was similar to what Chen Fan had.

But Ye Qingcang didn't care about it. He stared at the golden thread.

"Crack!"

The golden thread slashed the shields.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 623: A Fist That Broke Every Spell

"Crack!"

Every aura shield represented a talisman made by an Earth Level Deity and was strong enough to withstand the attacks from a tank or a cannon. Normal Immortal State Warriors would never break one, even if they attacked together for three days.

Still, turning a sword into a thread was one of the most advanced techniques. The sword thread was indestructible and could break anything.

It was an attack Chen Fan had made with his full strength.

Ever since he entered the peak stage of Divine Sea, his True Essence was as strong as that of a normal Earth Level Deity, and he could make a comparable attack.

"Crack!"

The first aura shield was broken. Then, the golden thread slashed through seven other talismans at once before slowing down.

"Again!"

Chen Fan looked vicious.

He cast a spell and the golden thread slashed again with a thunderous sound. Seeing from the outside, it looked like there was a golden thread hitting on a colorful light ball.

Those talismans were powerful indeed, but half of their Spirit Qi had dissipated over the last thousand years. Under Chen Fan's consecutive attacks, the light ball shook and seemed like it wouldn't stand much longer.

"Yikes!"

Everyone was terrified.

"Ye Qingcang has used the energy of Heaven and Earth, the secret art of the ancient Dao Sect and the power of an Earth Level Deity, but he still can't ward off Chen Beixuan's attack. Who exactly is he? Is he truly an Earth Level Deity?"

Oleg shook his head seriously.

The Gold Priest and the others also looked towards Chen Fan.

"I never thought that Ye Qingcang and Chen Beixuan would appear in the last few decades. Ye Qingcang is already regarded as the top warrior in the world right below the Earth Level Deity realm, but Chen Beixuan... Is he really not an Earth Level Deity?"

The Gold Priest was shocked.

Each and every attack Chen Fan made surpassed the level of the Immortal State. If Ye Qingcang couldn't fight with Chen Fan with his own power, he would either have to borrow the power of Heaven and Earth, or use Dharma Treasures or talismans.

"Ye Qingcang can't stand it any longer. If he doesn't come up with something else, he'll lose for sure!" Guru Guja said.

The others turned pale.

In fact, Chen Fan still hadn't played his cards yet. He had never used his invincible Earth Level Deity body, the Nine Abandonments Array, the Divine Armor and the Five-Elemental Divine Seal that suppressed the United States and destroyed an island.

However, Ye Qingcang already had his back to the wall.

Not even Ye Qingcang could compete with Chen Fan... who else on this planet could? Everyone's heart sank and they watched the battle anxiously.

"Break!"

Ye Qingcang knew that he was in trouble, so he swayed his body and soared in the air with a crimson aura surrounding him like a blood dragon. The strange black dagger on his hand was filled with blood marks and he slashed the golden thread with it.

"Clank!"

Metal colliding was heard.

The indestructible golden thread was blocked.

"Hm, ordinary Spirit Artifacts can't possibly block my attack, and even a mid-grade Spirit Artifact might be broken. Where does Ye Qingcang's treasure come from? Is it a superior-grade Spirit Artifact?"

Chen Fan was surprised.

Before he could have a clearer look, Ye Qingcang's blood dagger had already started clashing with the Sword of Essence Restoring again. The Sword of Essence Restoring carried Chen Fan's terrifying True Essence, which pushed Ye Qingcang ten meters backwards every time he struck.

After seven attacks, Ye Qingcang was pushed back five hundred meters away from the peak of Mount Yan.

At the same time, Chen Fan was only a step away from the top of the mountain. Ye Qingcang had failed to stop Chen Fan from going up since the beginning and even made him fall back.

"Go!"

Ye Qingcang was enraged and he slashed with the dagger in his hands.

"Crack!"

A crimson blade aura surged from the dagger and turned into a twenty-feet crimson blade qi.

The blade qi then slashed in the air.

Before the blade aura arrived, a light blade mark had appeared on the ground. Many maple trees were split in half and the mountain seemed to be shaking. This attack was as powerful as Lin Shuming's Earth Level Deity attack and could definitely crack a mountain peak.

"It's a superior-grade Spirit Artifact. Looks like you were quite lucky."

Chen Fan was a little surprised.

A superior-grade Spirit Artifact was different from a normal Spirit Artifact; it was several times stronger than a mid-grade Spirit Artifact. Its quality and power were comparable to Chen Fan's Five Thunder Seal, but without the Five Elements Thunder and not as many functions. However, an ordinary Earth Level Deity wouldn't be able to get a superior-grade Spirit Artifact and even the Dark World Arbitration Department lacked none.

If a superior-grade Spirit Artifact could break an Earth Level Deity body, even Chen Fan wouldn't go directly against it.

"I would worry a bit if it were a Spirit Treasure, but what can a superior-grade Spirit Artifact do to me?"

Chen Fan burst into laughter.

A Spirit Treasure was a real Dharma Treasure. A normal Qi Refinement cultivator could use it to kill someone at the Connate level and even Chen Fan would not dare to fight it. Being the case, he would not fear an attack of a superior-grade Spirit Artifact.

"Go"

Chen Fan flew into the air and turned into a long azure dragon.

The dragon head, eyes, horns, scales and claws could be seen clearly in the azure light. Chen Fan only used his body and True Essence to fight with the blood dagger without any protection.

"Clank, clank!"

All of a sudden, Chen Fan and Ye Qingcang started attacking each other continuously.

Chen Fan's fists were hard; they glistened like sapphires.

He dodged to avoid the aura of the superior-grade Spirit Artifact and punched exactly on the dagger. He swayed his fists as if he were holding a giant hammer and made the crimson aura vibrate violently.

A superior-grade Spirit Artifact was incredibly powerful. An Earth Level Deity could use it to injure Chen Fan severely.

But Ye Qingcang wasn't an Earth Level Deity after all. The dagger was fine, but Ye Qingcang was shocked by a huge force which pushed him backwards. He felt a numbness in his hands and legs, and couldn't even hold the dagger tight.

"Again!"

Chen Fan flew in the air like a dragon with an azure aura surrounding him. His hair was fluttering and there was viciousness in his eyes.

Ye Qingcang also became fierce.

"Swish."

He exhibited a rare technique with the dagger and every attack he made came from different angles.

Rays of crimson aura swept across the sky.

A superior-grade Spirit Artifact could indeed harm an Earth Level Deity, but Chen Fan was even more powerful.

His fingers tapped on the surface of the black dagger as if he were the most talented pianist.

"Dong, dong, dong."

Ye Qingcang's body shook violently.

He felt as if the dagger had been smashed by ten giant hammers and he almost dropped it because of the numbness in his hand. Chen Fan then got his chance to attack.

"Sh*t!"

Ye Qingcang thought, but It was too late.

Chen Fan put his hands together to create a symbol with the shape of a lotus flower and lightly pressed it onto his chest.

"Crack, crack."

The remaining talismans surrounding Ye Qingcang were like glass before the lotus fist. Chen Fan easily broke them and punched Ye Qingcang's chest.

True Martial Thirty-Six Forms, the nineteenth form: A Thousand Lotuses!

This form might not be as powerful as the "Wheel of Sun and Moon," but it was a deadly attack which gathered all the True Essence and energy within a punch. If the Dark Duke and the arbitrators were there, they would have been smashed and even an Earth Level Deity might not be able to withstand it.

Ye Qingcang was the same.

"Bang!"

He spurted out blood and he was knocked backwards like a swift arrow.

Ye Qingcang swept across the sky and smashed into another mountain, making it shake violently and leaving a human-shaped hole. A rock with the size of a house was even crushed into pieces.

"Did Ye Qingcang lose?"

Everyone was startled.

Ye Beichen and Ye Yiren were frightened and everyone in Kunlun couldn't believe it. The invincible Ye Qingcang, the dominator of China and the top warrior on the Divine Roll, lost the battle? How was that possible?

"Old Lord Xiao, looks like you made a mistake."

Wang Zhongguo looked at his rival with a complacent face.

Old Lord Xiao turned pale and was speechless. Everyone in the Xiao Family, including Xiao Changfeng, were trembling. Ye Qingcang was the supporter of the Xiao Family. If he lost, how could the Xiao Family continue being the top family of Yan Jin?

The other leaders of the major families of Yan Jin were all horrified. If Chen Fan won the battle, the entire Yan Jin would be at his feet. They would have to look up to Chen Fan and the Wang Family. Zhang Yu was so shocked he even knelt on the ground.

"Ah, Chen Beixuan is really unbeatable."

Countless Dark Overlords and Martial Arts Grand Masters shook their heads.

Even though Ye Qingcang had shown his ability to control Heaven and Earth at the beginning of the battle, Chen Fan was incredibly powerful and could fight against the energy of the world with his own power.

They had expected Ye Qingcang to lose.

The Immortal State Warriors also shook their heads and sighed. They knew how terrifying Chen Fan's last punch was. It was a deadly attack that carried the Soul Energy of his entire body. Ye Qingcang could never survive it unless he became an Earth Level Deity.

When everyone was completely sure Ye Qingcang was dead, Chen Fan frowned and stared at the cave.

"Strange. If he's only an Immortal State Warrior, my Thousand Lotuses should have been able to crush him into pieces, but it didn't feel right when I hit his chest."

"Is it the body of an Earth Level Deity, and... a Connate Spirit Armor?"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 624: Half an Earth Level Deity

An Earth Level Deity Body, which was a Connate Dao Body, could only be achieved after entering the Connate level.

The body of a Connate Cultivator was strong enough to withstand the attacks of missiles and cannons, and even a small nuclear weapon would be unable to kill him. With a number of Dharma Spells, Divine Powers and Protection Dharma Artifacts, he wouldn't be worried even when facing nuclear weapons.

Chen Fan's Azure Thearch Longevity Body had achieved the level of Initial Success, which was comparable to an Earth Level Deity Body, but his body had more Divine Powers and Wood Element Dharma Spells.

From Chen Fan's observation in the last five years, the Dark Duke and the other arbitrators were the closest to the Earth Level Deity Body. They were half-blood Kindreds and had a strong body that could recover quickly. However, even their bodies couldn't bear Chen Fan's Divine Sea attack, not to mention the Thousand Lotuses.

"I can't believe Ye Qingcang already has an Earth Level Deity Body. Is this what he achieved in the Deity Burial Valley? He can almost live several centuries in the world with this body," Chen Fan pondered with his hands behind his back, "A normal Earth Level Deity Body can't possibly withstand the 'Thousand Lotuses.' Is he wearing a Protection Spirit Armor?"

Among all the Dharma Artifacts, Protection Artifacts were the hardest to make.

An inferior-grade Protection Spirit Artifact was as valuable as a mid-grade Spirit Artifact and had strong defensive power. Together with an Earth Level Deity Body, it could indeed withstand Chen Fan's attack.

While everyone was shaking their heads and heaving a sigh.

"Bang!"

A crimson shadow shot out from the peak. It was obviously Ye Qingcang.

His white hair was fluttering and there was blood on the corner of his mouth. An armor appeared on his body and there was a lotus-shaped mark on it, which was made by Chen Fan's attack.

The punch left a deep dent in the armor, but Ye Qingcang didn't die nor did he suffer from any severe injuries.

"Grandpa is still alive?"

Ye Yiren jumped with joy.

The other members of the Ye Family and Kunlun were thrilled, while those from the other major families of Yan Jin and Zhang Yu were also relieved.

On the contrary, the Immortal State Warriors were dumbfounded.

"How is that possible?"

The Gold Priest couldn't believe it.

"Chen Beixuan's punch could be counted as a deadly attack. It can pierce through an aircraft carrier and even the Dark Lords can't stand it, but Ye Qingcang is only a bit injured?" Guru Guja said while shaking his head.

"You see, War God Ye's body is completely different from ours." Oleg sighed.

They saw that Ye Qingcang was standing in the air and his body was shining like a red ember. Even though he didn't seem as strong as Chen Fan, he looked extremely vicious and the Spirit Qi in his body was surging.

"Is that... a Fiend's Body?"

Guru Guja was shocked.

Although there were different ways of referring to such a being, they were basically the same thing. The East called it an Earth Level Deity, the Christian Church called it a Saint and other places called it a Fiend or an Entity.

"Other than Chen Beixuan, Ye Qingcang also cultivated an Earth Level Deity Body. Didn't the legends say it's not possible to achieve this on this planet?"

The Immortal State Warriors frowned.

To become a Mortal Deity, one only needed a high sensibility.

But an Earth Level Deity Body was different. Chen Fan's Azure Thearch Longevity Body required concrete resources, like different kinds of Spirit Dew, Spirit Pills, Spirit Medicines and Divine Crystals, while Ye Qingcang also had to use a pool of Spirit Dew to cultivate his Earth Level Deity Body. No one could get such a large amount unless they found the secret treasures of an Earth Level Deity.

"Chen Beixuan, you have an Earth Level Deity Body, and so do I.

"You have a treasure, so do I. You know a lot of Dharma Spells and I know the secret arts of all China. I'm also a level higher than you are, so I can use the arts endlessly. How can you possibly compete with me?"

Ye Qingcang stood in the air with glistening eyes.

He was surrounded by a red halo like the God of Fire. Ye Qingcang was finally about to play his trump card.

The Earth Level Deity Body was the most treasurable body in the world. With this body, Ye Qingcang could control the power of Heaven and Earth without worrying about his life, since his body could bear it.

"You need to achieve the Connate Body, the Connate Level and Connate Power to become a Connate Being, and you lack only one of them."

Chen Fan nodded but he didn't seem to be scared at all.

"Ye Qingcang, you're a step away from becoming an Earth Level Deity. What a shame! Even a real Earth Level Deity can't compete with me, let alone your fake Earth Level Deity realm!"

Chen Fan clenched his fist and his blood started to flow at a high speed.

"I'll show you how different two Earth Level Deity Bodies can be!"

"Boom!"

Chen Fan broke the sonic barrier and punched Ye Qingcang at three times the speed of sound.

A long azure mark appeared in the sky and a piercing voice came. He even created a large pit on the top of Mount Yan and there was gravel everywhere.

"Blood Kill Fist!"

Ye Qingcang also broke the sonic barrier and threw a punch.

His surging viciousness turned into a sea of blood and covered half of the sky. Ye Qingcang had dominated the world and had fought in more than three hundred battles. He gathered all of his determination and murderous thoughts into his fist as he struck.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A flash of azure aura and a ray of crimson light clashed in the air.

No one could see their battle clearly, except for the Immortal State Warriors, since they were moving at three times the speed of sound. Every clash they made created a thunderous sound and they swept across the sky like two fighter aircrafts.

The peak of Mount Yan started to become too small for their battle.

Chen Fan and Ye Qingcang kept fighting as they moved around the entire Mount Yan. Every time they flew, they could move a few kilometers in an instant, destroying everything in their path. Some people accidentally got into the fight and were immediately crushed into pieces.

"Unbelievable!"

The Yan Jin families and many Dark Overlords were in awe.

Such a battle was like a war between Entities. Normal weapons or even missiles wouldn't be fast enough to hit them. Only powerful nuclear weapons could.

"Ye Qingcang is indeed an outstanding cultivator that dominates the world. He achieved the Earth Level Deity Body on this planet and is only a step away from becoming a real Earth Level Deity. I had never seen such a person in the last thousand years."

Guru Guja heaved a sigh.

"Still, Chen Beixuan is even more powerful. Ye Qingcang has been in the underdog position since the beginning," the eagle-riding elder said.

Outsiders might not have noticed, but the Immortal State Warriors noticed this clearly.

Although Ye Qingcang had an Earth Level Deity Body, Chen Fan was way too powerful.

He didn't use any Dharma Artifacts and still had the upper hand using only his bare hands. No matter what secret art Ye Qingcang used, he couldn't withstand Chen Fan's attacks.

"Bang!"

Chen Fan's body only shook slightly after Ye Qingcang punched him, but his attack knocked Ye Qingcang away. If it weren't for the Spirit Armor, Ye Qingcang would have been severely injured.

"Damn it! We both have an Earth Level Deity Body, but why is he so much stronger than I am?"

Ye Qingcang was terrified.

Chen Fan's speed, strength and defensive power were way better than Ye Qingcang's and he had an especially powerful body. No matter how people attacked him, he wouldn't be injured, and even if he was, he could recover very quickly.

"I told you, you don't know anything about cultivation!"

Chen Fan looked cold and he didn't hold back.

His Azure Thearch Longevity Body was one of the best Divine Bodies in the universe, right after the several Sacred Bodies. Every time Ye Qingcang attacked, Chen Fan transferred the energy to the ocean a dozen miles away.

Ye Qingcang noticed that many maple trees were crushed into powder.

That was the power of the Azure Thearch Longevity Body. When Chen Fan was in a forest, nobody could kill him, even if they used a nuclear bomb. This kind of body was most famous for its defensive ability in the universe.

"Bulls*t!" Ye Qingcang yelled as he slashed with his dagger.

He had a superior-grade Spirit Artifact in his hand and was wearing a Protection Spirit Armor. Together with his Earth Level Deity Body, he could easily stimulate the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth to create thunderclouds and storms with every move he made.

The wind howled as if there were a storm.

"Bang!"

Chen Fan knocked Ye Qingcang out again. He snickered after seeing Ye Qingcang rush towards him.

"Ye Qingcang, do you really think your Earth Level Deity Body and Spirit Armor can stop me from killing you?"

Chen Fan tapped on the Blade Strengthening Gourd, and a colorful aura shot to the air; an ancient azure seal appeared above his head. There were five colors on the seal, including red, yellow, azure, white and black, representing the five elements.

"Five Thunder Seal!"

Once the seal appeared, almost everybody, including the Immortal State Warriors, were startled.

Chen Fan's attack outside of London was too horrifying. He destroyed an entire island in front of the American generals. Such a power still remained deeply inside everyone's heads.

"Five Elements and thunder, hear my orders!"

Chen Fan pointed at the air.

When the seal vibrated, five lightnings struck from the sky and immediately merged into one black and white lightning.

The lightning carried a destructive energy that was powerful enough to kill an Earth Level Deity!

"Lesser Five Elements Thunder!"

Ye Qingcang was immediately frightened.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 625: A Heavenly Being!

The black and white lightning carried an energy powerful enough to destroy the world. This was something that only a high-ranking Golden Core cultivator of the Five Elements Immortal Sect could create.

A Golden Core cultivator could destroy a city with an attack and even the enormous Mount Yan would be shattered.

Although Chen Fan had only exerted one percent of his power, it was already horrifying. No one below the level of Earth Level Deity could withstand his attacks and even a real Earth Level Deity could be killed.

"Haah!"

Ye Qingcang looked serious and his white hair was standing straight like a sword. His Earth Level Deity Body was sending out rays of light and many acupuncture points were opened, releasing an extremely powerful energy.

In a blink, the energy in his body gathered and turned into an essence ball.

The essence ball passed through his organs, then through the Divine Soul to his Heavenly Spirit. It was eager to open the Gate of Heaven and become a Deity.

"Clank!"

Ye Qingcang imbued all of his energy into the dagger and turned into a ray of crimson light, shooting towards the lightning.

"Go!"

Ye Qingcang's energy surged to the highest point in his entire life.

The lightning was as thick as a thigh and it struck the crimson light with terrifying energy. The crimson light then exploded and Ye Qingcang was enveloped in smoke.

After the lightning stopped flashing, Ye Qingcang appeared.

He was pushed dozens of meters backwards and all of his clothes were burnt, leaving only the red armor and the dagger. The flesh that was not covered by his armor disappeared, including his shoulders and arms, exposing his crystal clear Jade Bones.

Unexpectedly, he could still fight after those injuries.

"Again!"

Ye Qingcang yelled with anger.

As he breathed, the Essence Qi from Heaven and Earth was infused into his body, making veins and muscles appear, trying to restore his power. This new body seemed to be stronger and Ye Qingcang was apparently undergoing a transformation that made him more terrifying.

An Earth Level Deity Body might not be as resilient as the Azure Thearch Longevity Body and the Kindred's body, but it was way better than that of the Extraordinaries.

"Being able to withstand my Lesser Five Elements Thunder, your Spirit Armor must be at least a mid-grade Spirit Artifact." Chen Fan smiled.

"Ye Qingcang, you want to make use of my Thunder Art to become an Earth Level Deity? Let see if you're capable enough to do so."

Chen Fan then commanded the Thunder Seal again.

"Boom!"

This time, a lightning that was two times larger than the last one struck and the world seemed to be overwhelmed. The Essence Qi evaporated like sea water and an passage appeared in the air.

"Again!"

The crimson aura around Ye Qingcang was shining brightly and there were blood marks appearing on his black dagger and armor. Those blood marks were like the ancient runes and were releasing an incredible amount of energy, which became stronger when the marks were connected. The dagger and the armor were apparently a complete set of Dharma Artifacts.

"Boom!"

This time, Ye Qingcang was hit even harder.

He fell down a hundred meters and spurted blood. Every part of his body was hurt and even the aura on his Spirit Armor and dagger dimmed. The power of the Five Elements Thunder was too frightening. Even a superior-grade Spirit Artifact couldn't take its attack too many times.

However, Ye Qingcang wasn't angry at all. The red light in his eyes became even brighter and the energy inside his body soared like a dragon that was trying to break the last chain.

"Third attack!"

Chen Fan wasn't holding back anymore.

The True Essence poured into the Dharma Artifact and the Five Thunder Seal absorbed all the Dharmic Power like a whale drinking water. Then, the thundercloud in the sky turned into five colors and five huge lightnings struck, which immediately combined into one.

"Crack!"

It was unimaginably terrifying.

There was one lightning left in front of everyone's eyes. Its energy seemed to have gone beyond normal and reached the level of Sages.

"I guess only an Entity can make such a horrifying attack," Guru Guja mumbled.

Oleg and some of the others were also frightened.

The descendants of the Yan Jin families and those who were fragile had already knelt on the ground and looked up to Chen Fan as if they were respecting a god. As for Zhang Yu, he even hid in the corner, trembling and holding his head.

"Decades of cultivation were only intended to prepare for this moment. Let's go!"

Ye Qingcang looked fierce and determined. He was only half a step away from crossing the Gate of Heaven.

Swish, swish, swish.

Many Protection Dharma Artifacts and Earth Level Deity Spirit Talismans flew from his body. Those Dharma Artifacts were at least of superior grade and several of them were even Spirit Artifacts.

The Chinese Overlords were all enraged.

Ye Qingcang and Kunlun spent many years collecting those Dharma Artifacts and Spirit Talismans. How could they stay calm after seeing that he had spent almost half of the assets the Chinese cultivation community had?

"Boom!"

The lightning that was as wide as a bucket couldn't be stopped.

Any Dharma Spells or Protection Dharma Artifacts would immediately be shattered under the lightning's attack. Those were the only Spirit Artifacts that could hold on for a while but would still be destroyed sooner or later.

Someone introduced the Dharma Artifacts one by one, "The Nine Heaven Seal of the Laoshan Palace, the Thunder Talisman of the Divine Thunder Sect, the Twelve Heavenly Beads of Theravada Buddhism... These were all famous Dharma Treasures of Earth Level Deities throughout the last thousand years, but they can't stand Chen Beixuan's attack? Does it mean that his attack is powerful enough to kill an Earth Level Deity?"

The others were shocked.

With so many Dharma Treasures, normal people could compete with an Immortal State Warrior, but they would still be defeated by Chen Fan. So, could someone as strong as an Earth Level Deity like Ye Qingcang withstand the attack?

Everyone wondered.

The Ye Family, Kunlun and the other major families of Yan Jin were nervous; their eyes were wide open.

"Crack, crack."

The aura shields around Ye Qingcang were as vulnerable as glass in front of the lightning. In just a moment, all of them were destroyed and the lightning struck Ye Qingcang directly.

"Boom!"

A crimson aura was struck by the thick lightning and it fell from the sky, landing on the highest peak of Mount Yan. The entire mountain top was enveloped in horrifying lightning.

When the lightning dissipated, everyone looked and gasped.

A part of the highest peak of Mount Yan was cut off. The top of the mountain became smooth like a mirror, without any plants and gravel. The ground became yellowish-brown as if it had been burnt.

"It's terrifying."

The lightning cut off the tip of the mountain.

Any strong Immortal State Overlords would be frightened by such an energy. It was a power that only God could control! Other than nuclear weapons, no modern technology or any weapons could do the same.

"Where's Ye Qingcang?"

People's eyes widened and they looked at the mountain anxiously.

There was an enormous pit on the flattened mountain top and a man surrounded by crimson light was lying in the middle, seemingly severely injured. His aura became dim, the armor on his body was broken into pieces and his dagger was split in half.

"Did Ye Qingcang lose?" The Gold Priest wondered.

"No, he won. We're about to witness the biggest miracle in a thousand years!" Oleg the Russia elder said as he trembled.

The other Immortal State Warriors also stared at the crimson shadow, and even Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, looking as if he had never expected this to happen.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

While everyone thought Ye Qingcang was dead, there came a deep gasp.

The crimson man got up slowly from the ground. His clothes and armor were all torn and there were injuries all over his body, including his bones and organs; even his hair, beard and eyebrows were a mess. He looked extremely weak, as if he were going to die.

And yet, Ye Qingcang didn't care at all and he burst into laughter instead.

"After over a hundred years, I've finally come to this point!"

Then, in front of the eyes of all the astonished audience...

A lot of black hair grew rapidly on Ye Qingcang's head. The Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth was infused into his body as he breathed and eventually created a vast storm around him.

Everything within ten miles shook.

The people who were watching the battle couldn't even stand because of the strong wind and the entire situation was terrifying. Ye Qingcang was in the middle of the storm.

He placed his hands behind his back and rose from the ground.

The injuries on his arms, shoulders, thighs and chest recovered rapidly and his body became smooth and fair in the end. The Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth even formed a black robe and covered Ye Qingcang in it.

Ye Qingcang was like a thirty years old young man, with black robe and black hair, surrounded by red mist. He looked even younger than Ye Beichen and Ye Nantian.

Ye Qingcang stood in the air without using any Dharma Spells, as if the Earth were holding him up. Every move he made was connected to the world and it seemed to carry an endless energy.

"A Heavenly Being..." someone said.

Chapter 626: A Battle with an Earth Level Deity

Heavenly Beings could stand in the air and travel ninety thousand miles a day. They could live up to five centuries and would never age one bit. They could even kill someone from a thousand miles away.

These beings were called Earth Level Deities in the East, Saints in the West and Fiends by pagan religions.

There hadn't been any Heavenly Beings on Earth in a thousand years! Zhang Sanfeng, the Great Magus, the Spanish Cardinal Antonio who was the reincarnation of a Saint and the five arbitrators of the Dark World Arbitration Department, they had all been half a step away from becoming Heavenly Beings.

But this half a step was the most difficult one!

No one had ever broken through this point in the last thousand years!

People thought that there wouldn't be any Earth Level Deities on Earth anymore. And yet, they had just witnessed the birth of a Heavenly Being!

Everyone was speechless.

Their eyes popped out and they stared at the black-haired young man in the middle of the storm. The place where he stood felt like the center of the entire world.

On January 23rd, 2012, Ye Qingcang became an Earth Level Deity on the top of Mount Yan!

"Oh no, Master is in danger."

Those from the North Qiong Sect were anxious.

A'Xiu, Yukishiro Sa and Yu Wenjin were frightened and many Grand Masters and Perfected Cultivators were also devastated. It was the first Earth Level Deity in a thousand years! The Heavenly Being from the legends that could move the Earth.

He wasn't a human anymore, but a Deity! A God! A Saint!

Could Chen Fan compete with such a being?

Fang Qiong, An Ya and the others were worried.

"Xiao Fan..."

Chen Fan's opponents were just Immortal State Warriors or half Earth Level Deities like the Dark Lords, but the person in front of him right then was a real Earth Level Deity. Since ancient times, nobody had ever heard about a human who could defeat an Earth Level Deity.

A Heavenly Being was unbeatable!

Only Hua Yunfeng remained calm.

"Don't worry, Master is very experienced and powerful. He knew this would happen."

Hua Yunfeng comforted them.

He had seen how terrifying Chen Fan was in his previous life, battling with countless Overlords, shattering the world and destroying countries. In front of those Golden Core and Nascent Soul Overlords, an Earth Level Deity similar to an ant.

On the contrary, the Ye family, Kunlun, the Xiao family and many other warriors who hated Chen Fan were all thrilled.

"Grandpa has become an Earth Level Deity?"

Ye Yiren couldn't believe it.

"After cultivating for more than a century, father finally did it. No one can compete with him from now on, and our family will dominate the world for a thousand years."

Ye Beichen laughed with twinkling eyes.

"Chen Beixuan is indeed powerful, but as father said, luck and attitude are the most important things in the cultivation journey. Chen Beixuan is still inferior to father after all," Ye Nantian nodded and said.

Azure Dragon, Director Xiao and White Tiger also burst into laughter.

"Now that War God Ye became a Heavenly Being, our country will be guarded by an Earth Level Deity, and even the United States would not dare to offend us. God bless China! God bless Kunlun!"

The Extraordinaries from Japan, Thailand, Indonesia and the West hated Chen Fan with a passion.

"Kill him. Kill Chen Beixuan! Let him know that he's not the boss of the world!"

Countless people exclaimed.

In the past, they feared his invincible power and dared not to say it, but Ye Qingcang had just become an Earth Level Deity and they thought Chen Fan would definitely die.

No matter how strong a human was, he couldn't possibly resist a Deity.

Among all the audience, Zhang Yu was the most fierce. He was still trembling moments before, but then he became haughty again.

In contrast, the Wang family and the Qin family looked disappointed.

The Qin family was hoping to rely on him to compete with the Xiao family, but Ye Qingcang suddenly became a legend. Their plan seemed to be failing and they might even end up offending the Ye family.

"Chen Beixuan is so stupid! Why didn't he do something? He should have just killed Ye Qingcang!"

The seniors of the Qin family were dejected.

Someone even looked at the beautiful Qin Yaner and said, "I heard that Ye Qingcang has a grandson. He might not be as outstanding as Ye Yiren, but he's also a talent. Let's cancel Yaner's engagement with Chen Beixuan and let her marry him. With Yaner's beauty, he wouldn't reject it. Then, the Ye family would never make trouble for us anymore."

Qin Yaner immediately turned pale and her body was shaking.

She had already been under great pressure, and his former friends and classmates were criticizing her because she would become Chen Fan's concubine. They wanted to change plans to marry into the Ye family?

"I'll never accept such a humiliation. People would mock me for the rest of my life."

Qin Yaner's eyes were filled with determination.

As for the Wang family, while Wang Chen and the others were feeling pleased, the Old Lord Wang didn't seem too happy.

"Grandpa, although we didn't expect that Ye Qingcang would kill Chen Beixuan, it doesn't affect our plan at all. After today's battle, the Wang family will still be one of the five major families in Yan Jin," Wang Chen said.

The old lady also nodded. "Right, that bastard should have died long ago. I will live twenty years more if he dies!"

Wang Keqin and Wang Kefeng were expressionless, but their eyes seemed to show a hint of joy.

Wang Zhongguo heaved a sigh.

"Our family would have had the chance to become the top family of China, but his heart doesn't belong here and he's a bit unlucky."

He wasn't regretting anything.

No matter how people on the ground reacted.

The two warriors in the sky didn't care at all.

"Thank you for helping me become a Heavenly Being!" Ye Qingcang bowed at Chen Fan.

"It's been a hundred and three years since I became a cultivator. I've always stayed focused, putting everything I've got into the three hundred battles I had before. I even became a Mortal Deity earlier than Lin Shuming did. If I had not found the relics and spirit lands of the Earth Level Deity in the Deity Burial Valley to attain the Earth Level Deity Body, I would still have a long way to go."

"If it wasn't for you, I would never have the opportunity to take this step."

Ye Qingcang bowed again.

What he said was true.

The resources on Earth weren't enough to help Ye Qingcang become an Earth Level Deity. Even though he was talented and had indeed found the opportunity to achieve the Treasure Body of the Earth Level Deity, the last step required him to concentrate all of his Soul Energy in order to break through the Gate of Heaven.

If Chen Fan didn't summon the Five Elements Thunder and gave Ye Qingcang the chance to absorb its energy, Ye Qingcang would have been unable to become an Earth Level Deity.

"The end of a life is the beginning of another! The power of your Thunder Art is absolutely extraordinary. Even after becoming an Earth Level Deity, I feel like it's still out of reach and I guess only someone above the level of Earth Level Deity can control it."

Ye Qingcang flicked his sleeves, looking handsome like a young master from an ancient major family.

Chen Fan held the Thunder Seal in his hand and said calmly with azure light glinting in his eyes, "The reason why you could transform is because of your fortune and talent. Other cultivators would have died if they were confronted by my Thunder Art. So, don't thank me."

"Even so, I'll never forget your kindness. Do you want to keep battling?"

Ye Qingcang looked at Chen Fan and shook his head.

"After you became an Earth Level Deity, I've seen what you're capable of."

"Your True Qi and Dharmic Powers are as strong as those of an Earth Level Deity and your Soul Energy can cover an area of over a hundred miles. You're also connected with the Wood Elements within ten miles like a Wood Entity, so I can only kill you if I destroy all the trees in the surroundings. This might seem difficult for normal people, but it's a piece of cake for an Earth Level Deity."

Ye Qingcang looked like a Wise Man who knew everything.

"You already have the body, spirit and power of an Earth Level Deity. There's only one last piece missing, why don't you wait for some years?"

Ye Qingcang sighed.

He wasn't taking Chen Fan seriously anymore after becoming an Earth Level Deity.

Ye Qingcang's energy surged and a large amount of Essence Qi was infused into his body. His True Qi, Dharmic Powers, Divine Soul, body and connection to Heaven and Earth were all elevating.

In just a moment, Ye Qingcang had already become at least two times stronger and he became a real Heavenly Being after consolidating his powers. In the current world, no one could ever threaten him except nuclear weapons and the Blood Ancestor.

"You'll never understand my abilities and ambition. I can become a Golden Core or a Nascent Soul cultivator anytime I want, but it's meaningless to me. As time passes, you'll know the importance of a solid foundation," Chen Fan said.

He then spinned the Thunder Seal in his hand and it turned into a five-color light wheel that surrounded him.

"Ye Qingcang, don't be too arrogant. I'll show you what true power is today."

Chen Fan shouted as his True Essence surged. His powerful body spinned rapidly and he threw a punch.

Even Ye Qingcang was a bit shocked.

Chen Fan was the first person in a thousand years to battle with an Earth Level Deity with a human body!

The war began!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 627: Is He Going to Lose?

Chen Fan had only used seventy percent of his power since the start of the battle.

What Chen Fan cultivated was the top art of the Five Elements Immortal Sect. He had established a strong foundation in every state; that was the reason why he was much more powerful than the cultivators on Earth.

While at the mid stage of the Divine Sea, Chen Fan had already been strong enough to suppress the Dark Duke. Once he entered the peak stage and was only half a step away from the Connate Level, the power of his True Essence was endless. He could produce unbelievably powerful attacks if he used his full power.

"Boom!"

The Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth within hundreds of meters was churning like sea water. Before the impact of the punch arrived, people watching from afar could already feel the terrifying aura.

"Chen Beixuan hasn't shown his best yet?"

Oleg and the others were startled.

If they could barely believe that Ye Qingcang had become an Earth Level Deity, Chen Fan's full power would definitely leave them dumbfounded. Chen Fan wasn't an Earth Level Deity, but why did he have such a strong energy?

"Anyway, the power of a Fiend isn't something we can imagine. No matter how strong Chen Beixuan is, he's only a human and he can't compete with a Fiend," Guru Guja said as he placed his hands together.

The Gold Priest and other warriors also nodded.

The girls from the North Qiong Sect kept watching anxiously.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Qingcang flicked his sleeves.

The Essence Qi within several miles immediately gathered on his palm and turned into a large cloud of white mist that flew towards Chen Fan. Controlling the power of Heaven and Earth seemed much easier to him than to a Mortal Deity.

The two powerful forces clashed with each other as Ye Qingcang said, "Chen Beixuan, if you insist, I'll have to show you the power of an Earth Level Deity!"

"Boom!"

No words could describe it!

Two forces instantly clashed together and there seemed to be an earthquake on Mount Yan. The azure light and the powerful Qi Energy was shot in all directions; a horrifying shock wave was sent from the point of contact between Ye Qingcang and Chen Fan.

A part of the main peak of Mount Yan was cut off again. All the grass and trees on the mountain were uprooted and the impact of the clash was spread to other peaks. Some Dark Overlords were blown into the sky and were severely injured after they fell back down. Although members of the Wang family and the Xiao family stood far away, they also couldn't stand straight and felt the vibration of the ground.

"This... has gone beyond the power of a regular weapon, right?" someone said.

The impact of their clash swept across a thousand meters.

Not even a fuel air explosive or the Father of All Bombs were capable of doing that, only a thousand-ton nuclear weapon could be that powerful.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Chen Fan threw three punches but Ye Qingcang blocked them all.

Three energy waves struck from the sky and made the entire Mount Yan shake. The Dark Overlords on the other peaks were frightened and they quickly escaped. Even those standing in the air got blown around like little boats in the middle of an ocean, and the main peak of Mount Yan had dozens of meters shaved off.

"It's too terrifying! Is that the power of an Earth Level Deity?"

Oleg and the Gold Priest were shocked and they flew backwards in order to avoid the battling area.

The battle between Chen Fan and Ye Qingcang was still going as everyone had originally expected, but every move they made had escalated to an earth-shattering level. This had totally gone beyond the boundary of mortals and reached the level of Deities.

"Entities in ancient legends were said to be able to destroy cities, move mountains and drain seas, but it seems that these two warriors are even more powerful than the Entities!" Guru Guja said as he trembled.

The families of Yan Jin were also speechless. In a battle like this, they weren't even qualified to watch, not to mention participate in it. Many of them started to move away from the area of Mount Yan, so that they wouldn't be crushed into pieces by the impact of their clashes.

"Go further up. There's not enough space here!"

Ye Qingcang then turned into a ray of crimson light and shot to the sky.

"Okay!"

Chen Fan also turned into a flash of azure light and followed him. They flew for thousands of meters and started to fight again once they arrived in the middle of the clouds. This time, Chen Fan and Ye Qingcang had no scruples anymore and they gave it all out.

"Swish!"

Ye Qingcang launched an attack.

The mist in the sky formed a hundred-meter giant palm that flew towards Chen Fan like a dragon stretching out its claw. Even though a Mortal Deity could do the same trick, it took a really long time for him to concentrate enough energy. And yet, it seemed like a piece of cake to Ye Qingcang. Also, the cloud palm carried some crimson Qi which was apparently Ye Qingcang's own energy.

"Nothing special."

Chen Fan sneered and struck back.

A ten-feet azure palm swept across the sky with surging True Essence and crushed everything along the way.

"Bang!"

Chen Fan broke the cloud claw immediately but Ye Qingcang didn't mind at all. He waved his hands and stimulated the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth within several miles, making the clouds and mist billow. It seemed as if he were following God's will to suppress the human world.

On the other hand, Chen Fan didn't borrow any energy from the outside world, only relying on his powerful True Essence and body instead.

A punch, a kick, a clash, a strike...

He was like a fearless warrior who was fighting with God.

"Ye Qingcang, you'll soon be assimilated by the will of the world if you immerse yourself too much in controlling the power of Heaven and Earth. We cultivators should never stop battling. Besides, it's only the power of the surface of a planet. What's so special about it? You'll truly be invincible if you can control the energy of the core, the sun and the stars," Chen Fan yelled as he continued to attack.

"You're shameless."

Ye Qingcang indulged himself in the vastness of the world. He felt that the sky was boundless and its limitless power was enough to shatter the world. This energy was much stronger than the one he used to have.

"Chen Beixuan, the reason why you're not able to become an Earth Level Deity is that you don't revere the things in the world."

Ye Qingcang then formed a hundred-meter-long ice sword with the rain and slashed at Chen Fan. The ice sword seemed to be sharp enough to split an aircraft carrier.

"If you don't believe me, I'll fight until you do."

Chen Fan snickered and smashed the ice sword. After that, he broke the sonic barrier and sped towards Ye Qingcang at three times the speed of sound. White vapor trails appeared as if a fighter aircraft had just swept across the sky.

"Haha."

Ye Qingcang was calm; he didn't seem worried at all.

He put his hands together and the Essence Qi from the world formed a thick shield in front of him.

The Essence Qi was normally intangible, but he managed to turn it into a concrete wall that appeared to be a few meters thick when seen from afar. It seemed as if nothing on earth, aside from nuclear weapons, could pierce through such a shield. Once Chen Fan went into the Essence Qi, there was a sudden decrease in his speed, just like moving inside a pool of glue.

"Break!"

Chen Fan's hair was fluttering and his blood was boiling.

A bright azure light flowed around his body. In just a blink, he made all his moves consecutively, from the first form, the Skyfall Hammer, to the fifteenth, the Wheel of Sun and Moon.

Each one of the True Martial Thirty-Six Forms was incredibly powerful, not to mention all of them stringed together.

A ray of red and white light appeared, which was a Fist Seal formed with the power of the sun and moon, and Chen Fan was in the middle of it. He then broke countless shields of Essence Qi at once and shot towards Ye Qingcang.

"It's useless. As I've said, you can never imagine the power of an Earth Level Deity."

Ye Qingcang shook his head.

He raised his palm which was surrounded by a crimson aura. The aura was like a concrete substance. It carried the energy of Ye Qingcang's entire body and it was as powerful as Chen Fan's True Essence.

"Bang!"

Ye Qingcang stretched out his palm and blocked the Wheel of Sun and Moon.

The shining Fist Seal couldn't go further, either. It was the first time Chen Fan's True Martial Thirty-Six Forms failed.

"Chen Beixuan, your fist art is indeed a technique of the Sages, but the difference between states isn't something a mortal can overcome," Ye Qingcang said as he threw another punch and the crimson aura pushed Chen Fan backwards.

When Chen Fan blocked the attack, he felt that the Essence Qi around him had solidified into something like cement, trying to trap him inside. No matter what he did, he seemed to be out of tune with the world. The Ye Qingcang before him was the dominator of the world, and being against him meant to be against the world.

An Earth Level Deity could connect himself with the world!

The attack Ye Qingcang made had a similar power as the "Dimension Seal." If he could master the Dimension Seal, Chen Fan would lose to him for sure. How could a human fight with the world?

"Bang!"

Ye Qingcang didn't hold back and he punched several times again.

Every attack he made was from core techniques of different sects and families.

Chen Fan even saw the "Thousand Illusions of Rolling Cloud" of the Hong Sect. It was said that only the Ancestral Patriarch of the Hong Sect could exhibit thirteen types of arts at once, but Ye Qingcang showed nineteen consecutively. Chen Fan couldn't block the attack even with the "Thousand Lotuses" and was knocked out several hundred meters away, spurting out blood.

"Give up! It's not a shame to lose to an Earth Level Deity!"

Ye Qingcang controlled the world like an Entity.

There was disdain in his eyes and Chen Fan seemed like an ant to him.

"Ha, you?"

Chen Fan stopped and showed a hint of sympathy on his face. "Ye Qingcang, you might be the first person on Earth who's going to witness the art of the True Martial Celestial Sect. You should feel honored!"

Then, Chen Fan slowly moved into an attacking posture.

The galaxy emerged behind him and a golden halo surrounded his body, making him look like the unbeatable God of War.

Above the True Martial Thirty-Six Forms!

The True Martial Divine Fist!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 628: Defeating an Earth Level Deity!

True Martial Divine Fist!

This was an art from the True Martial Celestial Sect that dominated the universe, and only the disciples of the inner circle could learn to use it. It wasn't something that could compare with the "True Martial Thirty-Six Forms" designated for elementary disciples.

Chen Fan had used it once before and killed Barr the Undead God of War easily without engaging with a full-power attack.

This time, once the Fist Seal appeared, the entire world had already seemed unable to withstand it and was resisting its presence. It began to rain; lightning bolts started to fall from the sky and clouds billowed in the strong wind.

"This isn't a technique from the human world!" Ye Qingcang said seriously.

He could feel that danger was coming once Chen Fan started preparing for his attack. In fact, Ye Qingcang could trap Chen Fan in a cage made of Essence Qi, but the Fist Seal would break through it easily. This attack seemed to be able to shoot out of the world and destroy Heaven.

"Of course, it's the fist of an Immortal Sect!"

Chen Fan raised his hand and the ground shook.

His body was surrounded by a pure golden halo which didn't belong to any properties, such as the Five Elements and Yin Yang. All of Chen Fan's True Essence had turned into this kind of golden aura.

The True Martial Divine Fist had gone beyond the limits of all Fist Techniques and any energy could be used to control it. It could destroy anything and it wouldn't be destroyed! The disciples of the True Martial Celestial Sect had once dominated the universe and won every battle with this technique. It could even defeat a real Connate cultivator, let alone an Earth Level Deity.

"Boom!"

Chen Fan punched!

It couldn't be described in words.

The world turned upside down, the sun and moon collapsed and the galaxy shattered. Ye Qingcang even saw countless planets falling behind Chen Fan and Fiends were wailing.

This punch was a real Heavenly Fist Technique and it had gone way beyond the level of martial arts on Earth.

"Crack, crack."

Chen Fan broke free from the cage of Essence Qi around his body. He turned into a ray of golden light and shot towards Ye Qingcang while preparing his fist. Before he arrived, the great energy of the punch had already distorted the Essence Qi.

The wall of Essence Qi in front of Chen Fan was immediately smashed and the Essence Qi returned to its original form.

"This technique can interfere with my connection with the world?"

Ye Qingcang was startled.

But Chen Fan had come for him again so he didn't have time to think about it.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Qingcang stretched out his palm and a Dharma Seal appeared.

"King Kong Solar Seal."

This was the most powerful seal of Tantric Buddhism that combined martial arts, will and Dharmic powers into one. It could attract enormous energy from the universe and was regarded as the top Fist Technique of the world!

Ye Qingcang couldn't use this powerful secret art before he became an Earth Level Deity.

"Go!"

Ye Qingcang clenched his fist and punched.

The Essence Qi around him gathered on his palm and formed a Blood Seal.

A large amount of cloud Qi formed a Buddha palm behind Ye Qingcang along with the sound of Satsang. At the same time, Ye Qingcang was trying to subdue Chen Fan's energy.

"Bang!"

When the golden aura and the crimson light hit...

Ye Qingcang's black robe and long hair fluttered in the wind and his eyes opened wide. His energy surged to the maximum and the sound of Satsang became louder, but it was to no avail.

"Boom!"

He was knocked out a few hundred meters away and the Buddha cloud behind him was dispersed. The punch even created holes on the clouds in several miles.

"Impossible!"

Ye Qingcang was shocked.

The King Kong Solar Seal was the top Protection Technique of Tantric Buddhism. It was said to have been passed down from a Bodhisattva several thousand years in the past and was more powerful than an Earth Level Deity. He even used the power of Heavenly Beings and gathered the energy of the world, but he was still unable to withstand Chen Fan's punch?

"His True Martial Divine Fist is as hard as steel. Although mine is a hundred times stronger, it's as brittle as glass in comparison!"

The very thought of the last attack frightened him.

A scar appeared on Ye Qingcang's chest.

Soft golden light came out from the scar and the Earth Level Deity Body was simply unable to heal it.

"He's not an Earth Level Deity, why does he have such a terrifying energy? Where does this True Martial Divine Fist come from? I've never seen any organization called the True Martial Celestial Sect in all the books in the entire Chinese cultivation community..." Ye Qingcang thought.

But it was too late. Chen Fan punched again.

"Boom!"

This punch was even more powerful than the last one!

A golden sun appeared behind Chen Fan, and all his vitality, Immortal Will and True Essence turned into a golden light wheel. He threw a powerful punch and the giant light wheel spinned across the sky, as if it could crush everything.

"You're not an Earth Level Deity, how can you defeat me?" Ye Qingcang yelled as the crimson aura in his eyes surged.

He used different kinds of secret arts and every one of them was a peerless art from the major sects in China. Ye Qingcang even increased their energy and brought them to an incredible level.

There were even secret arts of the Christian Church and Dharma Spells of the ancient Maguses.

"Everything's useless when you face the True Martial Divine Fist."

Chen Fan was covered in golden aura and he was like a god whose entire body was made of gold. As he moved, a golden light wheel of several feet in size fell from the sky and moved towards Ye Qingcang.

"Crack, crack."

The Dharma Spells, Magus Arts, all sorts of defensive spells and shields formed by Essence Qi had become fragile before the golden light wheel.

"Arrh!"

Even though Ye Qingcang had used his full power, gathering all the Essence Qi within ten miles in his counterattack, he couldn't withstand Chen Fan's punch.

"Bang!"

Ye Qingcang spurted out blood and was flung back a thousand meters. The Essence Qi was also scattered because of the attack. Even though he had become an Earth Level Deity, he could still feel the soreness in his Treasure Body; it had almost cracked!

Chen Fan stood in the air like the unbeatable God of War. His golden aura moved to his right hand and formed a golden light ball, as if he were controlling the power of an Entity.

"Third Punch!"

Chen Fan was extremely calm.

Golden flames emerged from his eyes and immediately turned into two fire dragons that melded with the light ball in his right hand. The light ball then expanded and became two times larger. Chen Fan was enveloped in the golden flame and attacked with an unimaginable energy.

"Boom!"

Ye Qingcang focused on Chen Fan's attack.

"Let's go!"

He used the Secret Art of Sacrifice.

The Blood Qi and energy surged to the maximum, and Essence Qi within twenty miles instantly gathered behind him. The entire sky formed a large cloud cyclone.

It looked magnificent from below.

The huge cloud of Qi floated in the sky like the Milky Way and opposite to it was a burning light wheel. This burning wheel rapidly swept across the sky and sped towards the cyclone with invincible power.

"Boom!"

There was a blinding golden light and a horrifying sound wave when the golden wheel and the cyclone clashed.

"How's it going?"

Since Chen Fan and Ye Qingcang rose to the sky, everyone on the ground couldn't see them clearly anymore. After all, they were a few thousand meters apart and the clouds were also blocking their sights.

So, the audience could only see rolling clouds and the lightning in the sky, as well as a vague azure aura and a crimson light clashing with each other.

"I'm sure Ye Qingcang will win!"

The warriors from Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia agreed on this point, even though they didn't like Ye Qingcang.

Their hatred for Chen Fan ran deeper than their dislike for Ye Qingcang. As for the Chinese warriors, some of them were supporting Chen Fan and the others rooted for Ye Qingcang.

However, most of them were on Ye Qingcang's side. After all, he was the first Earth Level Deity in China to have appeared in a thousand years; he had become a legendary figure.

"An Earth Level Deity is an Entity and can never be defeated by a human. Although Heavenly Ye has just become an Earth Level Deity, Chen Beixuan won't be able to keep up with him once he has a better control of his power," Guru Guja said respectfully.

He was already referring to Ye Qingcang as Heavenly Ye.

"Right! A human can never imagine how powerful a Fiend is. Chen Beixuan is too arrogant. If he would have done better if he had waited for a few more years." The Gold Priest nodded and even Oleg thought Ye Qingcang would be the winner.

The other major families of Yan Jin also changed to Ye Qingcang's side.

"General Ye is invincible!"

"General Ye? He's Heavenly Ye now!"

"Congratulations Old Lord Xiao! With the support from Heavenly Ye, the Xiao family will never decline!"

The Yan Jin families went to congratulate Old Lord Xiao one after another. While Old Lord Xiao was still hiding his feelings, the other members of the Xiao family were already thrilled and celebrating.

In the end, only those from the North Qiong Sect were still standing there.

"The Qin family wanted Qin Yaner to marry Master before and now they're there congratulating the Xiao family. Some junior members of the Wang family are also there, but Wang Zhongguo is not stopping them at all. How terrible! Master hasn't lost yet!"

An Ya grunted.

The other disciples of the North Qiong Sect also smiled wryly. Ye Qingcang had become an Earth Level Deity and people were regarding him as a god; they would surely support Ye Qingcang instead of Chen Fan.

An Ya and Wang Xiaoyun were both looking at the sky anxiously.

"Bastard Chen Beixuan, you are finally doomed! It's a shame that it wasn't me who killed you!"

Zhang Yu jumped and burst into laughter.

His hair was messy like a demon's. While everyone else was about to smile and agree with him, a banging sound came as if an atomic bomb exploded and a huge cloud of smoke appeared in the sky.

Then, someone surrounded by fire and crimson aura fell from the sky into Mount Yan like a meteorite, creating an enormous pit. Clouds of dust were stirred up and the ground shook.

"Who lost?"

Everyone looked over with joy.

They saw another man slowly descending from the sky. He had black hair and black eyes. He was handsome and was wearing white casual clothes.

"Chen Beixuan?"

They couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the young man in white clothes.

Nobody said a word.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 629: Settling Scores with a Slash!

The young man who came down from the sky was Chen Beixuan?

So, the one who landed on Mount Yan was Ye Qingcang?

Ye Qingcang lost? An Earth Level Deity lost? How was that possible? This didn't make any sense! There had never been a mortal able to defeat a Deity.

"It's impossible. Heavenly Ye will never lose!"

All of the Xiao Family members shook their heads and the Old Lord Xiao was also terrified. The other families and those from Kunlun were just as surprised.

Ye Qingcang had dominated China for decades and had always been on top of the Divine Roll. He was an unbeatable legend!

That day, this legend had lost to Chen Beixuan. It was an unimaginably severe blow to White Tiger, Red Sparrow and Azure Dragon. The descendants of the Ye Family were also unwilling to accept it; all of them raised their voices in denial. Ye Nantian and Azure Dragon turned into crimson light streams and flew deep into Mount Yan to see if Ye Qingcang was still alive.

"Did Chen Beixuan win?" the Gold Priest asked.

"Heavenly Ye had already become a Fiend and he still lost to Chen Beixuan? This is unbelievable. This had never happened before, not even in myths and legends!"

Guru Guja put his hands together and his eyes were filled with astonishment.

The other Immortal State Warriors remained silent, as they had just witnessed the birth and defeat of an Earth Level Deity. This made them wonder: if an Earth Level Deity could be defeated, what was the meaning of cultivating so many years just to reach that level?

On the contrary, the North Qiong Sect was thrilled.

A'Xiu jumped and shouted, "Master won! Master won!"

Wang Xiaoyun, Fang Qiong and An Ya were thrilled. Even though they had faith in Chen Fan, they were extremely worried since his opponent was an Earth Level Deity! He wasn't a human, but a Deity, a Saint, a Buddha!

They had never thought that Chen Fan could even defeat an Earth Level Deity. Who would dare to offend the North Qiong Sect and the Chen Family from then on?

"I told you, not even an Earth Level Deity can compete with Master."

Hua Yunfeng touched his beard and smiled.

Xie Yan suddenly realized why Chen Fan gave him the "Sword Art of Nine Abandonments" instead of keeping it for himself. "No wonder the art cultivated by an Earth Level Deity means nothing to him. An Earth Level Deity is no match for him."

Unlike the North Qiong Sect, the major families of Yan Jin were dumbfounded.

The Qin Family was supposed to be happy about the turn of events, but it wasn't the case. They had just sent someone to ask the Ye Family if Qin Yaner could marry Ye Beichen's son, but Chen Fan had suddenly won. Everything the Qin Family did had been wasted.

"Ah, what a pity. Why did I do that?"

Old Lord Qin was feeling regretful.

Qin Guochao, the leader of the Qin Family, was embarrassed. He even congratulated the Ye Family just then. Who would have thought Chen Fan was capable of defeating an Earth Level Deity?

The Wang Family was a bit better.

Even though Wang Chen turned pale, he still forced a smile and said, "It's also a good thing to our family."

"Right, Chen Fan is a member of the Wang Family after all. From now on, our family will take over the place of the Xiao Family and become the top family," Wang Keqin congratulated Old Lord Wang.

The other members of the Wang Family were having mixed feelings.

On one hand, they looked down on Chen Fan and wanted Ye Qingcang to kill him, while on the other, they were hoping to strengthen the Wang Family with Chen Fan's power. Such a tangled feeling made everyone look strange and even Xue Hongmei felt disgusted.

"Xiao Fan is indeed an outstanding descendant of the Wang Family!"

Wang Zhongguo's eyes were full of appreciation for Chen Fan.

"Whoosh."

Chen Fan came down from the sky.

His white outfit was intact, meaning that he had never used his full power during the fight. Otherwise, his clothes would have been long gone.

So, many Immortal State Warriors immediately lowered their heads to show their respect.

An elder went forward to congratulate Chen Fan, "Congratulations on defeating Ye Qingcang, Heavenly Chen. You've become a legend and risen to the top of the world!"

He was called Changchun Taoist, a famous Qi Refinement Cultivator from Zhongnan Mountain who was as powerful as Li Changsheng. Changchun Taoist didn't go out of the mountain very often, so nobody had thought he would show up.

"Congratulations, Heavenly Chen!"

Oleg, the Gold Priest and the others all bowed to congratulate Chen Fan. As for Guru Guja, how would he dare to think about taking revenge at the moment? He was afraid that Chen Fan would destroy the Brahmin in front of him. He could only smile and greet him.

Once a warrior became an Earth Level Deity, he would be regarded as a Heavenly Being. Although Chen Fan wasn't an Earth Level Deity yet, he deserved to be called "Heavenly Chen" after the battle.

Chen Fan nodded and said, "Even though Ye Qingcang is gone, you still have me here. From now on, I'll be guarding the East. Immortal State Warriors are not allowed to make trouble here. Those who violate the rule will be killed!"

"Got it!"

Guru Guja and the others knelt on their knees right away.

Although Ye Qingcang was a powerful figure in China, there were many people who didn't respect him. Li Changsheng and some others had once gathered the seven Immortal State Warriors to besiege Ye Qingcang, and the Immortal State Warriors from other countries didn't care about him, either.

But Chen Fan defeated an Earth Level Deity in the sky!

Besides, he had slaughtered twenty Immortal State Warriors in one go, half of all the warriors of that level on Earth. Who would dare not to obey him?

"After I go back, I'll run as far as I can from the East and never come here again. I'll also tell my disciples to escape when they see Chinese people!"

The Gold Priest and some others worried that Chen Fan would kill them to avoid any problems in the future.

Fortunately, Chen Fan wasn't as crazy as they thought.

Suddenly, Ye Nantian flew from afar with Ye Qingcang's body. The people present saw that there was a large fist-shaped hole on his chest. Red mist and Aether Qi were still billowing out from the hole.

Ye Nantian and the other members of the Ye Family all looked devastated.

"Don't worry. He's not dead yet. The healing ability of an Earth Level Deity Body is beyond your imagination. I guess it'll only take two to three years for him to be fully recovered," Chen Fan said calmly.

Ye Nantian was relieved.

Then, Chen Fan turned to the members of the Ye Family.

"Even though Ye Qingcang challenged me to fight, it wasn't a life and death battle; we only wanted to learn from each other. Kunlun and the Ye Family will still be ruling China. Those who offend them offend the North Qiong Sect as well, and I will kill them all."

He was actually saying this to those next to the Ye Family.

Many people who hated Ye Qingcang were thinking about how to take advantage of the situation to do him harm, but after hearing what Chen Fan said, they had to contain their anger.

Chen Fan then glanced over at the Xiao Family.

The members of the Xiao Family were frightened, and the junior members like Xiao Xianzhu even blanched.

Everyone in the world knew that Chen Beixuan would kill anyone who offended him. Since the Xiao Family asked Ye Qingcang to deal with him, how could Chen Beixuan let them get away?

"Heavenly Chen, it's all my fault. I'm willing to take full responsibility. Please don't hurt the others!"

Old Lord Xiao bowed as he trembled.

A ninety-year-old elderly was begging a twenty-year-old young man for mercy. Everyone who saw this, including Xiao Changfeng and Xiao Xianzhu, were feeling sad and enraged.

The other Yan Jin families were also stunned.

Who would dare to disrespect Chen Fan again, seeing that the most powerful family in Yan Jin had yielded to him? Those from the Wang Family immediately became arrogant, as if they had already risen to the top.

While everyone thought Chen Fan was going to fly into a fit of rage, he said lightly instead, "Xiao Xuan did indeed offend me, but I already broke his limbs. Let's just end it. It has nothing to do with the Xiao Family!"

Chen Fan then left the Xiao Family behind and looked at the other families. All of them, including the Li Family, the Han Family and the Mu Family, lowered their heads and avoided eye contact with Chen Fan. While the members of the Qin Family were feeling anxious, Chen Fan walked straight past them as if he didn't know them at all.

Old Lord Qin gave a wry smile.

Qin Yaner also turned pale and her body was shaking.

Lastly, Chen Fan looked at the Wang Family.

"Congratulations, Old Lord Wang, Master Wang! Even the other major families of Yan Jin are bowing to Heavenly Chen's power. The Wang Family is definitely going to become the top family in Yan Jin or even in all of China."

People around him quickly came forward and congratulated him.

Wang Zhongguo smiled slightly, while the other members of the Wang Family were quite smug about it, as if it were their own achievement. Even Wang Chen was thrilled and he decided to first rely on Chen Fan to strengthen the family before planning something else.

"Xiao Fan, you defeated Ye Qingcang in front of everyone else and brought honor to the Wang Family! When we go back, I'll organize parties and banquets for you and list you in the genealogy of the family."

Wang Zhongguo and Wang Chen greeted him with a smile.

But Chen Fan was expressionless and his eyes looked cold.

He then tapped on the Blade Strengthening Gourd and the flying sword appeared.

"The Wang Family humiliated my parents and tried to set me up several times. Considering my mother's relation with the Wang Family, I will only kill one of you. From now on, the Chen Family and the Wang Family have nothing to do with each other. If you offend us again, my flying sword will show no mercy."

The Sword of Essence Restoring shot out and the blade aura flashed through, cutting off Wang Chen's head and leaving a long mark in front of Wang Zhongguo.

The blade mark went across the peak and was between Chen Fan and the Wang Family.

Wang Zhongguo immediately turned pale!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 630: Top of the World

After the slash.

Wang Zhongguo was dumbfounded.

None of the members of the Wang family could believe what they had just seen.

Those who were watching next to them—including the Qin family, the Xiao family, the Immortal State Warriors and the Dark Overlords—were all frightened.

The Wang family was about to dominate China with Chen Fan's power, but Chen Fan stopped it from happening in the end! His slash not only ended the relations between the Chen family and the Wang family, but also dashed the Wang family's hope of attaining a superior status.

Wang Zhongguo stood behind the blade mark with a pale face.

Looking at Chen Fan who was standing in the air, he laughed and shouted, "Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!"

"Chen Beixuan, top warrior on the Divine Roll! I underestimated you before. The Wang family will take responsibility for everything we did," Wang Zhongguo said.

The reputation of the Wang family had dropped to the bottom once Chen Fan killed Wang Chen. How could the Wang family become one of the five major families in Yan Jin and gain a foothold in China?

Tears welled up in the eyes of Xue Hongmei and Wang Keqin.

Wang Chen was her grandson and his son!

"You... you killed Chen?" Xue Hongmei pointed at Chen Fan and was so enraged that she passed out. Wang Keqin quickly held the old lady and said with hatred in his eyes, "Chen Beixuan, you killed my only son. Our family will avenge his death!"

"I'll wait for you," Chen Fan said as he flew away.

His slash had settled all the scores. If the Wang family offended him again, Chen Fan would never be lenient again. The members of the Wang family also knew this, and they could only contain their anger.

"Xiao Fan."

"Master."

"Sect Master."

The girls quickly ran forward.

Chen Fan had completely startled the world with this battle. If he could defeat an Earth Level Deity, who else would dare to offend the North Qiong Sect and the Chen family in the future?

Wang Xiaoyun didn't even care about the Wang family anymore; she looked at the young man gently.

"This is my son, my endless pride!"

Wang Xiaoyun was feeling blessed. She leaned on Chen Gexin and stared at Chen Fan.

After a while, Wang Xiaoyun suddenly said, "It's time for Xiao Fan to get married."

"Alright."

Chen Gexin nodded.

After seeing Chen Fan slaughter Wang Chen, those who used to be envious of the Wang family started to mock them.

"The Wang family doesn't understand Chen Beixuan at all. Did they really think that he would be restrained by family relations in the mortal world? If it wasn't for Wang Xiaoyun, Chen Beixuan would have killed all of them."

The members of the other major families sneered secretly.

They didn't know what the Wang family was planning, but as more and more information came to light, everyone could see that it had been the Wang family and Wang Chen who had fanned the flames and caused the quarrel between the Xiao family and Chen Fan. Together with the information about Wang Xiaoyun leaving the family years before, they knew exactly what the Wang family had planned to do.

Ouyang Qiong shook his head and said, "Wang Zhongguo was smart, but his ambition made him irrational.

"If the Wang family had made use of their relations to rope Wang Xiaoyun and Chen Fan in, Chen Beixuan might have still helped them during critical moments. Yet, they chose to set him up and manipulate him behind his back. Do they think Chen Beixuan is a fool?"

"I guess Wang Zhongguo might be the first one to make this suggestion, but the others aren't as smart as him and have held him back. Otherwise, Chen Beixuan wouldn't just kill Wang Chen," another person said.

Everyone else shook their heads and thought that the Wang family was indeed irrational.

What fools they were to try to manipulate Chen Fan.

"Right, where's Zhang Yu?" Ouyang Qiong said as he looked around for the arrogant Zhang Yu.

Then, they discovered that Zhang Yu had been lying dead on the side with green bile acids coming out from his mouth, while the Prada girl was trembling next to his body.

News about the battle on Mount Yan were swiftly spread across the Earth.

Many forces of the Dark World and the Intelligence Departments of different countries were shocked after looking at the messages.

"Ye Qingcang is going to lose?"

"Ye Qingcang has become an Earth Level Deity?"

"Chen Beixuan defeated the Earth Level Deity and became a legend?"

There were a lot of twists and turns throughout the battle which were totally out of everyone's expectations. The fact that Ye Qingcang could become an Earth Level Deity was already earth-shattering.

Before that day, many people still doubted if Earth Level Deities did exist.

Since Ye Qingcang had become one, all the questions had been answered.

But the most astonishing thing was that Chen Fan had defeated an Earth Level Deity.

"Not even the oldest books have any records or legends about a mortal defeating an Entity and an Earth Level Deity."

Many shook their heads.

"Right, the myths of Babylon or the legends of Saints of the West and Heavenly Beings in the East are all clearly documented. The difference between an Earth Level Deity and an Immortal State Warrior is as distant as a Deity and a mortal; there can be a hundred fold difference in their powers. A Transcendent State Warrior can defeat an Immortal State Warrior, but it's impossible for an Immortal State Warrior to defeat an Earth Level Deity, even if Ye Qingcang had just become a Heavenly Being," an old Grand Master said.

After becoming an Earth Level Deity, you would have the Treasure Body of the Earth Level Deity, a constant connection with Heaven and Earth, ten times the True Qi, Dharmic powers and Immortal Will of an Immortal State Warrior, and all kinds of secret arts and powers. The battling power of a real Earth Level Deity was a hundred times stronger than that of a normal Immortal State Warrior.

So, who would believe that Chen Fan had defeated such a powerful being?

"Maybe Chen Beixuan is a peerless talent that appears once in thousands of years, otherwise, how could he reach the peak stage of the Immortal State when he's only twenty-one years old? This is also something that we can't find in any books!" Black and White Demon Hunter said.

Even though he was a famous figure in the Dark World, his explanation was still unable to resolve everyone's doubt.

There were heated discussions on every forum and even the superpowers started researching, until a video appeared.

The video was called "The Battle of Gods!"

It had been shot with satellites, drones and remote HD cameras; it was the complete footage of the battle between Chen Fan and Ye Qingcang. The publisher was called "Kunlun" who was apparently a Chinese official.

Although it was only a ten-minute video, the power Chen Fan and Ye Qingcang exhibited was unbelievable.

You could see their incredible Martial Arts techniques at the beginning, the speed of the Earth Level Deity Body and their fight above the clouds after Ye Qingcang became an Earth Level Deity.

Countless people were startled, thinking they had seen a miracle.

"It's horrifying! He can fly at three times the speed of sound, which is even faster than the most advanced F22 Fighter, and can also cut off the peak of a mountain. How could a human have this power?" some Generals in the Operation Center said.

Many Generals of the Navy and Air Force in the Pentagon and Arnold the German Minister of National Defense shared serious looks.

"The power Ye Qingcang and Chen Beixuan displayed is comparable to that of a hundred-ton nuclear weapon. I'm afraid normal weapons won't be able to deal with them. I hope the Department of National Defense can allow us to use small-scale nuclear missiles and other powerful weapons," a Major General got up and said.

The Admirals nodded. Chen Fan and Ye Qingcang had seriously threatened the world hegemony of the United States. Even their aircraft carriers were just like toys before them.

"I'll report this to the President and the Wise Men. These Overlords from the East are threatening the interests of the United States, so this war is inevitable. If our country wants to keep dominating the world, we'll need to defeat them, just like we exterminated the Soviet Union in the past."

General Nord nodded after a while.

He couldn't take his eyes off the screen.

It was showing the scene where Chen Fan made his last attack before defeating Ye Qingcang. That punch had been recorded clearly by the remote drones and satellites.

Ten thousand meters up in the sky.

A golden light wheel of a few feet in diameter was covered in flames and it rushed forward like Apollo's chariot.

Opposite to the light wheel was a cyclone as large as the center of a hurricane. It carried a terrifying energy and was deep like the Milky Way.

That scene had deeply astonished everyone in front of the screen.

The senior officials of other countries and many Dark Overlords were truly stunned.

Was it possible for humans to exhibit such energy? Both Chen Fan's punch and Ye Qingcang's Dharmic powers were astonishing.

"This punch will be recorded in the annals and no one will forget about it! It represents the possibility that a mortal can defeat an Entity. It's the beginning of a new era, the rise of the Eastern Overlords and the decline of the West!"

"It also means that Chen Beixuan has climbed to the top of the world; he has become the most powerful person on the planet. Nobody can challenge him anymore!" the Observer said on the forum.

Those who saw this comment were speechless.

January 23rd, 2012.

Chen Fan defeated Ye Qingcang on top of Mount Yan and became the most powerful person on Earth!

No one could compare to him!

Chapter 631: A Ten-Mile Dragon

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

While the world was in chaos because of Chen Fan...

All the North Qiong Sect members had returned to the villa in North Mountain. Although this villa was offered by the Wang family, North Qiong Corp had already paid the Wang family and bought several others around the area.

How could the leaders of the families in North Mountain reject North Qiong Corp when they offered to pay three times the price in the market?

Chen Fan had just risen to the top of the world. Who would dare to refuse to sell them houses?

"Xiao Fan, I saw that you've been buying houses here. What are they for? Do you want to get the entire North Mountain?" Fang Qiong asked.

"It's your engagement gift," Wang Xiaoyun said with a beaming smile.

"What?"

Fang Qiong's eyes popped out.

"I've talked to your parents about it. You two are not young anymore and will soon graduate from college. We can just settle the engagement and confirm your relationship first. Mingde and Susu have also agreed."

1Fang Qiong blushed immediately; her face was red like an apple.

She was a strong and independent woman who seldom showed this girly side of hers, so A'Xiu and the others were excited.

Fang Qiong leaned on Wang Xiaoyun and said as she glanced at Chen Fan, "Auntie Yun, what does Xiao Fan think about this?"

"Hm, if he doesn't agree, I'll kick him out from the family and end our relations!"

Wang Xiaoyun slashed with her hand, creating a deep crack on the floor and splitting an armchair into two.

"Mom, you..."

Chen Fan didn't know what to say.

Wang Xiaoyun had taken the Red Flame Spirit Pills to enter the Ethereal Enlightenment State, but she still didn't have full control of her energy, which was why Chen Fan didn't want his parents to cultivate. A good state of mind was also necessary for controlling their powers.

"Don't worry, it's only an engagement. I once promised to give you the world and you'll have it when we truly get married," Chen Fan said gently.

"Hm."

Fang Qiong nodded.

While countries and countless forces of the Dark World were stunned and worried because of Chen Fan and Ye Qincang, a secret message circulated around the world which stirred the people in Yan Jin.

Chen Fan was getting engaged.

The other party wasn't Qin Yaner from the Qin family but a young girl named Fang Qiong.

"Who's Fang Qiong? I've never heard of this name. I thought Superpower Chen would marry a girl from the top families or some cultivation talent, like Ye Yiren of the Ye family," someone wondered.

Ye Yiren and Lin Puojun had once been regarded as the Super Duo and many seniors thought they had the highest possibility of becoming Immortal State Warriors among the younger generation. Unfortunately, they weren't strong enough to compete with Chen Fan, and Lin Puojun was even killed by Chen Fan's servant.

But if Chen Fan were to marry someone, only Ye Yiren would barely qualify.

"I heard that she's been close to Chen Beixuan since they were small! She's also the one in charge of North Qiong Corp," another girl said with jealousy.

She came from an upper-class family in Yan Jin and was popular among the young masters in the city, but she was much weaker compared to Fang Qiong.

Chen Fan was the top Overlord on Earth and was regarded as Superpower Chen and Heavenly Chen.

His wife would have an even higher status than those of the Presidents and Prime Ministers of the superpowers.

The power of a President or a Prime Minister came from their position and people of the country, but Chen Fan's power came from himself. He was a country and he had a wealthy family. Whoever married him would stand on top of the world and enjoy the glory with him.

So, who wouldn't be jealous?

Many people were talking about Fang Qiong while the others were sneering at the Qin family.

"The plan of the Qin family was totally screwed. Not only were they unable to rope Heavenly Chen in, but they also offended the Xiao family. No one wants Qin Yaner anymore. How funny is that!"

"Right, even if they want their daughter to become Chen Beixuan's concubine now, he would never accept her!"

"If I were Qin Yaner, I'd jump off a building."

There were many snide remarks about the Qin family.

In the mansion of the Qin family at Lake Kunming.

The Qin family sighed all day long and Qin Yaner's mother couldn't even stop crying. She used to be so proud of Qin Yaner, then her daughter was dragged down to the bottom.

"It's my fault. If I hadn't gone to the Ye family, our daughter would have been the one engaged,not that girl called Fang Qiong," Qin Guochao said regretfully.

When Ye Qincang became an Earth Level Deity, everyone thought that Chen Fan would certainly lose. That was why Qin Guochao went to talk to the Ye family and tried to arrange a marriage between the two families. And yet, it turned out that Chen Fan had won in the end. News about it soon circulated the city and the Qin family became a laughing stock.

"It's alright. Our reputation might have been harmed but we're still a powerful family. It's just that Yaner has to bear the consequences."

Old Lord Qin heaved a sigh.

Qin Yaner looked pale and haggard.

She forced a wry smile and said, "Don't worry, grandpa. I'm not in a hurry. I still want to spend more time with you."

Old Lord Qin felt even more guilty after hearing what she said and decided to do something about it.

In the meantime, silence reigned in the Wang family.

Unlike the lively atmosphere in the No.5 Villa, many members of the Wang family had gathered on the top of the mountain without talking to one another. They were even more enraged when they heard the news that Chen Fan was getting engaged.

Xue Hongmei was so furious her hands were shaking.

She hadn't been sleeping for several days after her most precious grandson died, and Chen Fan was suddenly getting engaged. Was he trying to humiliate the Wang family?

"Dad, Mom, Chen Fan has gone too far. Xiao Chen never offended him! No one has ever done this to the Wang family. Remember, Xiao Chen was my brother's only son!" Wang Keshan said.

Wang Keqin was enraged, while Han Junli, Wang Chen's fiancée, turned pale and didn't say a word.

Wang Kefeng banged on the table and said, "Haha, Chen Beixuan always takes advantage of his power to be domineering. Let alone other places, how many people in Yan Jin dislike him? All of them are just afraid to say it. I bet that nobody will show up at their door on the day of the engagement."

The other members didn't say anything but most of them had the same thought.

Even though Chen Fan was powerful, he was quite respected since he always suppressed people by force. Everyone just avoided him and tried not to offend him.

"Hm, let see who would attend the engagement party of that little bastard! Those who go there will never be allowed in our house!" Xue Hongmei yelled angrily.

Wang Chenchen was originally thinking about going to Chen Fan's engagement party, but after hearing what the senior members said, she immediately went silent.

Only Wang Zhongguo seemed to be regretful.

The day of engagement would soon arrive.

The Chen family chose a close date since Chen Fan just wanted it to be simple. They invited some of their friends and relatives, including Chen Huaian, Chen Ning, Chen Xiao, Fang Mingde and Su Susu, so that both families could meet and settle everything.

After all, this was only the engagement, not the wedding.

And yet, Chen Fan had underestimated his status.

"Chen Beixuan is getting engaged? We have to go."

"What? They didn't invite us? We can still bring them some gifts. Even if we can't see Chen Beixuan, it's good enough to meet his parents, relatives and friends."

"I agree. Distance isn't a problem! He's the most powerful person in the world!"

Not only the Martial Arts families and sects in China, the tycoons and forces that had relations with North Qiong Corp, including the Loong family of Hong Kong, were startled.

Many underground organizations, consortiums and even countries were also stunned.

On the day of the engagement.

There was a long line of cars at the foot of North Mountain.

The line was a dozen kilometers long and continued from North Mountain to the center of Yan Jin.

Almost all of the cars were luxury models that were worth at least a million, of brands like Maserati, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz S Series, BMW 7 Series, and so on. Many of them had official markings of foreign envoys.

Countless residents of Yan Jin were gathered.

"Who's getting married? Isn't it too grand? Even the weddings of the top families of Yan Jin wouldn't be like this! Looking at the direction the cars are going, would it be related to the Wang family in North Mountain?"

"I heard that it's the engagement party of North Qiong Corp's CEO. That's why many people are going there to congratulate them," someone said.

"North Qiong Corp? This company can barely get in China's top five. His engagement party can cause heavy traffic in Yan Jin? So, is the guy from the Wang family?" someone doubted immediately.

"I heard that he's not a member of the Wang family. They banished him years ago," another person said.

"What the f*k? The Wang family kicked such a powerful person out? What a waste!"

Everyone in the surroundings was shocked and confused.

Meanwhile, the members of the Wang family stood on top of the mountain and their faces started to turn pale.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 632: Blessings from All Nations

The long line of cars stretched as far as the eye could see, just like a dragon. Even the Wang family had only seen such a sight a few times.

A junior member of the Wang family wondered, "Why are so many people going to Chen Beixuan's engagement banquet?"

Wang Keshan and Wang Kefeng turned pale.

They had underestimated Chen Fan's influence. The Wang family thought that everyone would turn against him after he killed so many people.

And yet, what they didn't know was that people were more willing to please him when they realized how powerful he was.

He could kill anyone he wanted and his disciples were everywhere around the world.

So, people would certainly respect such a superior figure.

Wang Dong, son of Wang Keshan, said, "Dad, don't worry. Those who came must be some ordinary tycoons and warriors. The truly powerful families or forces will never come to North Mountain, and the rest of the families in Yan Jin have united to boycott Chen Beixuan. He'll be gone sooner or later."

Wang Keshan nodded but he was feeling anxious at the same time.

The plan of boycotting Chen Fan was made before the battle on Mount Yan. After that, Chen Fan had become the most powerful figure on Earth, despising everyone else on top of the world.

Would those major families really comply with their commitment?

In the meantime, there was a crowd of people at the foot of North Mountain.

Many tycoons and warriors from different parts of the country and some foreign Dark Overlords had gathered in the area. The parking lot of the villa district was very spacious, but it still couldn't accommodate such a large number of people.

A disciple of the North Qiong Sect said politely, "I'm sorry, this is a private engagement banquet. It's not open to the public."

These disciples might seem gentle, but their eyes looked fierce and all of them were masters of Internal Force and peak-stage cultivators.

"We're just here to deliver our gift and express our respect to Heavenly Chen. We don't need to go up the mountain."

Then, a white-haired old man went towards the top of the mountain with the help of a young girl but the disciples of the North Qiong Sect didn't stop him. A tycoon from Hong Kong was therefore discontented and he mumbled, "Why can't we go up there while they can?"

"Have you lost your mind? He's Old Lord Xiao from the Xiao family, the top family in Yan Jin! I guess he's here to apologize to Heavenly Chen. You would have also been invited by North Qiong Corp if your status was as high as his."

Someone sneered.

The tycoon immediately shut his mouth.

The Xiao family was the most superior family in Yan Jin. Although the Chen family stole their thunder, they could still be one of the top five families in China. In fact, they were even more powerful than before, given that Ye Qincang was alive and had become an Earth Level Deity.

Compared to the Xiao family, a billionaire was nothing.

"Old Lord Xiao has arrived!"

As the disciple announced, Old Lord Xiao slowly walked to the door of the villa.

Meanwhile, the seniors of the North Qiong Sect, the Chen family and the Fang family had filled half of the backyard. When they heard that Old Lord Xiao was there, Chen Huaian, Wang Xiaoyun and Chen Gexin immediately went out to welcome him.

Old Lord Xiao yielded to Chen Fan only because he was the most powerful figure in the world.

Other than Chen Fan, nobody else was superior to Old Lord Xiao. Even Chen Huaian was a junior compared to him, not to mention Fang Mingde and the others.

"Brother Huaian, I've heard a lot about you. You must be proud to have brought up such a talented grandson!" Old Lord Xiao said.

"Please forgive Xiao Fan for offending you last time," Chen Huaian apologized genuinely.

"Forget about it. My grandson Xiao Xuan is indeed too arrogant. He deserves to remain three years in bed for offending a Heavenly Being based on some rumors. I should even thank Heavenly Chen for showing him mercy," Old Lord Xiao said.

Fang Mingde and Su Susu gasped after seeing how respectful Old Lord Xiao was when he talked about Chen Fan.

They had just arrived in Yan Jin, so they couldn't see how powerful Chen Fan was during the battle on Mount Yan, and they didn't know that he had subdued all the other families in Yan Jin!

"I'm so glad Xiao Qiong can marry a man like him."

Fang Mingde and Su Susu looked at each other, recognizing that they shared the same thought.

Su Susu was especially relieved. She had almost made Chen Fan and Fang Qiong break up the other year. If Fang Qiong hadn't insisted, directly going for the Civil registration, their marriage attempts would have been aborted long before.

The arrival of Old Lord Xiao was only the beginning.

Then, the Li family, the Mu family, the Han family, Old Lord Qin and Qin Yaner also made an appearance. After all, it was Chen Fan's engagement banquet that day and Wang Xiaoyun didn't want to shut them out.

"Old Lord Qin, your plan was totally screwed, right?" someone joked.

Old Lord Qin shook his head. "Heavenly Chen is out of our league! He's now standing on top of the world. My granddaughter isn't good enough for him!"

A glint of sorrow flashed in Qin Yaner's eyes as she heard the reply.

In a while, all the major families in Yan Jin and those from the North had gathered in front of the No.5 Villa.

His fame had spread across the entire country!

The members of the Wang family listened to the announcements and they all blanched.

"The Xiao family, the Hans, the Lis, the Mus, the Qins, the Ans, the Fus, the Wus... All of them are shameless. They had agreed to boycott Chen Beixuan together, and now they're going back on their word?" Wang Dong said furiously.

Wang Keqin and Wang Keshan both gave wry smiles.

Chen Fan was currently on an equal footing with the superpowers of the world, how could some families boycott him? He could eliminate all these major families in Yan Jin anytime he wanted. Even Ye Qincang had lost the battle, who else would dare to turn against him?

"I refuse to believe that no one else in the world would dare to deal with this bastard! People in our country might be scared of him, but not the foreign powers! He has made a lot of enemies abroad and many people can't wait to kill him!" Xue Hongmei said with anger.

Then, more announcements were heard at the foot of the mountain.

"Mr. Lee Jaehee, President of the Samsung Group of Korea has arrived."

"Mr. Mitsui Yuto, President of the Mitsui Group of Japan has arrived."

"Miss Guo Nuannuan, President of the Temasek Group of Singapore has arrived."

Many chairpersons of the world's top consortiums came one after another. They were all among the top five hundred companies in the world, which had more than a hundred billion dollars in assets. Some of them were even in charge of several companies at the same time, being as wealthy as countries. Even the leaders of some small countries had to be respectful to them when they paid a visit.

And yet, they were extremely deferential in North Mountain, like subordinates and juniors.

"We're here to apologize to Mr. Chen Beixuan. Our descendants had once offended him and the Li family is really sorry about that," Lee Jaehee said, feeling terrified.

"Sorry, Master is with Miss Fang. He's not seeing anyone at the moment," Yukishiro Sa said with a cold voice.

"It's alright. Please convey my apologies."

Lee Jaehee bowed a few times. Standing next to him, Mitsui Yuto was also begging for Chen Fan's forgiveness and was willing to offer half of the shares of Toyota Motor Corp.

Even though Chen Fan had killed his father, Mitsui Kazuo, and defeated Japan, Mitsui Yuto didn't hate Chen Fan at all and was even begging him.

Seeing this happen, many Chinese warriors finally realized how powerful Chen Fan was right at the moment.

"He's the most powerful person in the world! Master is like the United States now. No one will offend him again and anyone who does will come to apologize immediately! Otherwise, Master will wipe out their entire families," Hua Yunfeng said as he placed his hands behind his back.

"We should go and look for those who didn't come to North Mountain to apologize to Master and help him settle the scores. We must let the world know that the North Qiong Sect also has warriors like us other than just a Heavenly Being!" Xie Yan said.

The two legends were both strong enough to be among the top ten warriors on Earth. If they worked together, only a few Mortal Deities could compete with them.

They saw the arrival of the Presidents of many top consortiums around the world, including the noble families from Europe and the members of some Royal Families.

The members of the Wang family became gloomy.

The old lady was even trembling and she almost passed out again.

"Fine, let's not compare ourselves to them." Wang Zhongguo shook his head and turned around. When he was going back into the villa, a voice suddenly came from the foot of the mountain.

"Mr. Yamamura Kyuki, the Special Envoy of the Japanese Prime Minister has come to congratulate Mr. Chen and Miss Fang on behalf of the Japanese government."

Everyone was shocked; they thought they had misheard.

Even a country's leader had sent their Special Envoy?

Wang Zhongguo stopped and listened carefully. A series of announcements then resounded through the mountain.

"Mr. Rohn Schneider, the Special Envoy of the German Prime Minister has come to congratulate Mr. Chen and Miss Fang on behalf of the German government."

"Mr. Oleg, the Russian Special Envoy has come to congratulate Mr. Chen and Miss Fang on behalf of the Russia President."

"The Special Envoy of the French President..."

"The Special Envoy of the British Prime Minister..."

"The Special Envoy of the President of the European Union..."

The entire North Mountain was shocked when these Special Envoys arrived. Everyone stood in awe of those cars with the flags of each country, and the Envoys representing different superpowers.

"This..."

When Wang Zhongguo was about to say something, the last announcement came.

"President Obama of the United States has sent the Under Secretary of State to congratulate Mr. Chen Beixuan and Miss Fang Qiong."

Everyone went silent.

Wang Zhongguo turned pale while the others were dumbfounded.

What a prestigious figure Chen Fan was!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 633: Yan Jin Covered in Red Maple Leaves

England, France, Russia...

These were all superpowers on top of the world and they controlled the fate of Earth. If the Earth was a chessboard and the other countries were the pieces, then these three countries would be the players.

But this wasn't why Wang Zhongguo was desperate.

What truly frightened him was Clint Johnson, the American Under Secretary of State. He represented the most powerful country on Earth and the will of the United States!

"Even the United States has sent their Envoy to Chen Beixuan's engagement banquet?" Wang Keshan mumbled.

It was the United States of America!

It was the dominator of the planet which controlled the life and death of all countries. Since the United States had sent their Special Envoy, it meant that Chen Fan's status had risen way beyond their expectations!

Wang Chenchen's father, Wang Kedong, said, "We've totally underestimated Sister Xiaoyun's child. We thought that he was only someone who could do a bit of magic, not someone who could face the superpowers and military weapons. And yet, he's already risen to the top of the world and even the United States has to be careful with him."

The United States would respect anyone who was powerful and bully those who were weak. So, the presence of their envoy symbolized the recognitionition of Chen Fan's status and how seriously they took him.

How powerful was he to be on an equal footing with a country?

"If we would have sincerely apologized to Sister Xiaoyun and Brother Gexin, making up for the past in the first place, we probably would have been standing there and accepting all those blessings. Our family would have become the top family in Yan Jin, in China, and even in East Asia!"

Everything Wang Kedong said was a severe blow to everyone else.

Wang Keqin and Wang Kefeng couldn't contain their hatred at all, while Wang Zhongguo's hand was even trembling; he couldn't hold his cane right.

As for Xue Hongmei, she couldn't even say a word anymore.

Who else could defy Chen Fan on this planet?

Many members of the Wang Family were confused.

Those who came to congratulate Chen Fan were completely astonished.

"Dozens of countries have sent their special envoys, including four of the five superpowers. I guess this can compare with the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton!" a young master from a middle-class family said.

"Haha, Prince William has a superior status only because of the glorious history of the British Empire, but Chen Beixuan is different. He's climbed to the top of the world after five years of cultivation. The key fact is that we're only talking about an engagement banquet. Can you imagine what it will be like on their wedding day?" someone sneered and asked.

Everyone gasped.

Considering Chen Fan's current status, his wedding would cause a great furor across the world. By then, even the leaders of the powerful countries would make an appearance to congratulate him!

"We are totally different from Chen Beixuan. We're only normal people while he's a Deity. We can't compare with him, even if we work hard for a thousand years and become the world's wealthiest people."

Ouyang Qiong shook his head.

The Prada girl standing next to him was especially bright and fashionable that day; her eyes were filled with envy and admiration. Not only her, many other girls were also staring at Fang Qiong with jealousy.

A lady from a large family said, "It's only because they've known each other since they were little. If Chen Beixuan had met me first, he wouldn't have married this girl."

The girls around her rolled their eyes. Some of them who thought they had better body figure, appearance and family background than Fang Qiong started to look for opportunities to talk to Chen Fan. After all, their engagement could be cancelled anytime and they could also get a divorce even after they were married.

"He's a hundred times better than those young masters from the wealthy families. If I can marry him, I'll become the First Lady of the world and will remain young forever. So, who else can be a better candidate than he is?"

All their hearts leaped.

At the same time, Chen Fan was greeting his guests in the building. Up until then, only a few guests could really talk casually with him. Many envoys who attended the ceremony knew how superior Chen Fan was, so they were all acting humble and polite.

Only the representatives from the superpowers could talk to him more.

Chris, the British Special Envoy, smiled and said, "Mr. Beixuan, I hope our friendship will be long-lasting."

"Sure, I should visit London more often. I've got quite a few friends there," Chen Fan replied.

Chris immediately froze. Chen Fan had scared the hell out of them in the month he stayed in England; he even battled with the American fleet close to London and blew up an island.

The British government was still thinking how they should explain to their people that an island near the Thames estuary suddenly disappeared! It was a few kilometers large!

"Sure, sure!"

Chris gave an embarrassed smile and didn't say anything else.

Oleg waved at Chen Fan and whispered to him, "General Chen, your battle with General Ye was indeed incredible, but you have to be aware of the Blood Ancestor. According to KGB's intel, the Dark Duke has been more active. He has slaughtered people in several villages consecutively and is trying to wake the Blood Ancestor with blood."

"I will."

Chen Fan nodded.

"I hope the next time we meet will be the day you get married. My President told me that it was a shame he couldn't come this time, but he'll definitely attend your wedding in person!" Oleg said in the end.

What he said caused an uproar.

Fang Mingde was startled. The Russian President had ruled Russia for twenty years and was a heavy hitter in the world... he would attend the wedding of Chen Fan and Fang Qiong?

"Our daughter has really found a great husband!"

Fang Mingde smiled wryly.

As for Su Susu, she was so guilty she wanted to find a place to hide. The more powerful Chen Fan was, the more she hated herself for looking down on him and having tried to separate them.

The last one who came forward was Clint Johnson, the American Special Envoy.

"Mr. Chen Beixuan, congratulations on behalf of President Obama. We hope that you can observe international laws, maintain global order and uphold justice along with the United States of America," Clint said politely.

"Please convey my message to your President. Don't mess with me or I'll mess with you! This is how I do things," Chen Fan said.

"Of course," Clint smiled and said.

The banquet continued until late in the evening and the lights in the villa lit up the entire North Mountain. Countless people refused to leave even if they couldn't see anything inside. In the end, Chen Fan and Fang Qiong got engaged in the presence of the Special Envoys.

Chen Fan even made red maple leaves grow to celebrate with Fang Qiong.

The young girl was completely moved and started crying.

Yukishiro Sa and A'Xiu were also envious of her.

When the residents of Yan Jin got up in the morning, they found that the red maple leaves which could only be seen in autumn had suddenly grown back during winter. The entire mountain turned red and it looked as if the city had put on a traditional Chinese wedding dress.

"It's a miracle! Why are there red leaves on the maple trees in winter?" many Old Lords wondered.

Those who knew what happened were thrilled.

How incredible!

The old sergeant of the Ba Ji Sect said, "He's indeed Heavenly Chen. This is the real power of a Heavenly Being! An ancient legend said that Wu Zetian had once made peonies bloom in Luoyang, and today, Heavenly Chen made the maple leaves grow again like an Emperor."

Gao Baisheng and Guo Xiaomang were shocked and jeaous.

They used to think that being able to crack a stone or fight with a hundred people alone was enough to dominate the world, but the fact was the difference between their power and Chen Fan's was as wide as the distance between the sky and the ground.

"When I go back, I'll shut myself in and will never come out if I don't enter the Transcendent State. I want to experience what it's like to defeat Immortal State Warriors and Earth Level Deities," Gao Baisheng said.

"Good to know that you have such a strong determination and will! It'll surely be worth it even if you can't become a Heavenly Being."

The skinny old sergeant burst into laughter.

Not only the Ba Ji Sect, many other organizations in the Chinese Martial Arts community, including the Tai Chi Sect, the Xin Yi Sect, the Gu Family, the Seven Kill Fist Sect, and the entire Dark World were astonished.

Unlike leveling the peak of Mount Yan, the skill Chen Fan had exhibited this time showed the power of a Heavenly Being.

The research departments of many countries were urgently revising their assessments about Chen Fan.

In our modern society, the power of creation was way more terrifying than a pure destructive power. Scientists couldn't kill people but they could develop nuclear weapons, electromagnetic weapons and space-based weapons for killing.

Who knew what Chen Fan was capable of? With extra ingredients, the Vitality Serum could immediately turn into a deadly poison.

This was what cultivators did.

Wheeling and dealing.

Chapter 634: Ye Qincang, You're Too Young

Mount Yan had been bustling for a few days before it returned to serenity.

During those days, Chen Fan and Fang Qiong enjoyed receiving blessings from everyone. He also felt happy just by seeing the beaming smile on her face. The reason why Chen Fan had returned was to make up for his family and loved ones.

"What a shame! Xiao Qiong said there were too many people here so she was embarrassed to stay in my room."

Chen Fan laughed and shook his head.

The great North Mystic Celestial Lord had been reborn for several years but he was still a virgin!

However, Chen Fan didn't mind it at all. He and Fang Qiong were destined to continue their journey of cultivation and live a million years.

Compared to such a long life, a few years was only an insignificant part of it! In Chen Fan's eyes, Fang Qiong wasn't mature enough. Her perfect moment would arrive when she grew and became Zi Qiong Goddess.

"After this, we should proceed with our next agenda."

Chen Fan's eyes were glittering.

On Mount Yan outside of Yan Jin.

The Ye Family mansion had been repaired after several days, but the main peak of Mount Yan had become shorter, attesting to the horrific magnitude of the recent battle.

"How can Chen Beixuan be so powerful? Grandpa couldn't defeat him even after becoming an Earth Level Deity."

Ye Yiren looked at the main peak of Mount Yan and still could not believe what happened.

Ye Nantian shook his head and said, "Father just became an Earth Level Deity and his power isn't stable yet. Chen Beixuan is indeed powerful and his attacks have gone beyond the level of an Earth Level Deity. I wonder where he learned such a terrifying art."

Even though he had entered the Immortal State recently, his power was as stable as many experienced Immortal State Warriors and he was very observant.

"Uncle, is grandpa all right?" Ye Yiren asked anxiously.

"Don't worry. Father is an Earth Level Deity after all, and Chen Beixuan also held back a little during his final attack. He woke up after a few days of rest, and I guess he'll be fully recovered in five years at most," Ye Nantian said.

While they were talking, a ray of azure light swept across the sky. Ye Nantian was immediately stunned.

"Chen Beixuan?"

The azure light then landed in front of them and Chen Fan appeared.

"I would like to see Old Lord Ye please," Chen Fan said as he gave them a nod.

Chen Fan's visit to Mount Yan terrified the entire Ye Family.

The members of the Ye Family stared at Chen Fan anxiously. Given that Ye Qincang was still recovering from his injuries, Ye Nantian and Azure Dragon were the only ones guarding the Ye Family and they couldn't bear any attack from Chen Fan.

"Is he coming to kill General Ye?" Many thought.

Even Ye Qincang became nervous, knowing that Chen Fan had once promised to protect the Ye Family. After all, the Ye Family was at its weakest right then and it was the best time to eliminate Ye Qincang. Who knew if Chen Fan had changed his mind?

"Let him in."

A strong Immortal Will was transmitted to everyone's minds.

It was Ye Qincang's voice!

Ye Beichen and the other members of the Ye Family stepped aside respectfully and Ye Nantian led Chen Fan to a garden at the back.

There was a large loquat tree which covered half of the garden with its leaves.

Ye Qincang was standing under it with his back facing Chen Fan.

He kept staring at the loquat tree as if he hadn't noticed Chen Fan was there.

Ye Qincang started talking emotionally, "I used to be a brigand in the Northwest region and then joined the army later on. My wife had always been by my side no matter what. She was the first Red Sparrow when I first established Kunlun. Unfortunately, she was severely injured while she tried to protect me in the battle where the seven Immortal State Warriors besieged me. She died after a few years, leaving our son Nantian behind.

"I planted this loquat tree the year she passed away and it's been forty years since then. The little sapling grew into such a large tree. The passage of time is like the flow of water and we never know how fast it goes."

He slowly turned around with his final words.

He stood upright in his black outfit; his black hair and black eyes made him look like a young man. However, his eyes seemed to show how much he had been through the decades.

Ye Qincang said respectfully, "I realized that you're not what they said after knowing more about you. You haven't encountered any miracles or found any ancient treasures. Aids might be able to increase your power, but not your attitude!

"When I look at you, I feel like there's an old beast standing in front of me. I've never seen a glimmer of panic in your eyes, as if there's nothing in this world that can surprise you. Should I call you Chen Fan? Or..."

"Just call me Chen Beixuan! Beixuan is the name my teacher gave me. I haven't been addressed as Chen Fan in a long time," Chen Fan said calmly.

He seemed to have acknowledged Ye Qincang's conjecture.

Ye Qincang furrowed his brows and said, "I knew you were also a cultivator! Senior Beixuan, did you come from the Gate of Heaven? I've read through all the books from each sect in China, but there's no record about Immortal State Warriors defeating Earth Level Deities or a sect called the True Martial Celestial Sect."

This hundred-year-old man was addressing Chen Fan as "Senior."

And yet, the two of them found it natural. Chen Fan was the reincarnation of an ancient beast and was much more powerful than Ye Qincang, so it was normal to call him Senior.

"Haha, the Gate of Heaven is nothing!"

Chen Fan laughed.

He got up and paced, then looked up and said, "Ye Qincang, you are indeed talented, but you have no idea how big the world is! The Earth is so small compared to the boundless universe, not to mention the Gate of Heaven."

"If not the Gate of Heaven, then..." Ye Qincang wondered.

Chen Fan didn't answer and he looked up to the sky quietly. He wondered what his teachers, brothers, allies, friends and enemies in his previous life were doing.

In the meantime, the night had come and the sky was glimmering with stars.

"Did you come from Heaven?" Ye Qincang frowned and asked.

Modern people knew that the Earth was the only normal planet in the universe and there wasn't anything like Heaven and Hell, so Ye Qincang thought that Chen Fan was fooling him.

"Not from Heaven, but deep in space," Chen Fan said.

Ye Qincang was startled.

Humans had only traveled to the moon and scientists were still uncertain if there was life out there in the universe. If Chen Fan really came from space, it would totally turn the world upside down!

"So, there are cultivators and humans in space?"

Ye Qincang couldn't believe it.

"The universe is wider than you can imagine and the Immortal Cultivation culture doesn't exist only on Earth. Billions of years ago, human cultivators had battled across the universe with thousands of alien races, but you don't need to know about it right now. You'll understand when the time comes."

Chen Fan smiled and looked far away.

Ye Qincang nodded, then took a deep breath and said, "I thought that becoming an Earth Level Deity would mark the end of my cultivation journey and I could live for several centuries. Above that is the legendary Sky Immortal and cultivators at our level would already be respected like the Buddha. I didn't know that there were also cultivators in space. Did those ancient Sages and Gods go deep into the universe as well?"

"Haha, what's an Earth Level Deity?"

Chen Fan burst into laughter and his eyes were filled with disdain.

"Only the ignorant people on Earth would call a Connate Cultivator a Deity. In the universe, one can only be called a Deity after entering the Dao Reunion level!"

Chen Fan sneered.

"Connate? Dao Reunion?" Ye Qincang wondered.

He had never heard of these names and there were no records at all in the old books.

Chen Fan explained, "There are eight cultivation stages in the Realm of Cultivation, including Qi Refinement, Connate, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Void Returning, Dao Reunion and Tribulation.

"The Qi Refinement level is divided into three states: Internal Force State, Transcendent State and Immortal State. You reached the Connate level once you became an Earth Level Deity, and that is only the start of your cultivation journey. Below that, you don't even count as a cultivator."

"What?"

Ye Qincang was so shocked he fell on the floor.

How powerful would the following stages be if an Earth Level Deity was only at the second cultivation stage? Dao Reunion was five levels away from the Connate realm!

An Earth Level Deity could defeat a hundred Immortal State Warriors and could also kill a hundred thousand Internal Force Warriors! This was only the difference of one level. So, if there were two cultivators that were five levels apart, how different would their powers be?

Did it mean that a Connate Cultivator was as weak as an ant to a Dao Reunion Cultivator?

"For a Dao Reunion Perfected Immortal, three thousand years is only one season and one can live more than a million years. You would also be able to swallow the sun, flicking off the stars, walk in the universe, bathe in the galaxy and sleep on the sun and moon. Only then can you be called a Deity!" Chen Fan said.

Ye Qincang was dumbfounded.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 635: Deity Burial Valley

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ye Qincang had never felt so weak before.

He was the former top warrior on the Divine Roll, the guardian of China and the only Earth Level Deity of the times. Nobody on this planet was stronger than him, other than Chen Fan. In the last few days after he became an Earth Level Deity, Ye Qincang felt that his power and connection with the world had been continuously increasing and he was confident that he could battle with Chen Fan again two years later.

And yet, Ye Qincang had never thought that he would learn about a completely different world from Chen Fan.

A world that he could never imagine.

"Swallowing the sun and flicking off the stars? Is that still what a human can do?" Ye Qincang exclaimed.

"The moment you enter the Connate level, you'll no longer be a mortal but a cultivator. Immortal Cultivation is a journey of evolution. What we truly strive for is not to dominate the universe, but to have an everlasting life," Chen Fan said with his hands on his back.

"Thank you for teaching me a lot." Ye Qincang got up and bowed to Chen Fan. "What level did you reach in your previous life?"

"Haha."

Chen Fan cracked a smile but didn't reply.

He was a Tribulation Cultivator in his previous life!

A Dao Reunion Cultivator was a Perfected Immortal and a Tribulation Cultivator was the King of Deities and the dominator of the universe, but Chen Fan didn't bother to explain to Ye Qincang. After all, for the Dao Reunion or the Tribulation level, killing Ye Qincang was a piece of cake.

So, Ye Qincang didn't ask anything else.

He knew Chen Fan had surely achieved the Connate level in his previous life, to be able to defeat an Earth Level Deity at the Divine Sea level, but was he a Golden Core Cultivator or a Nascent Soul Cultivator in the end? Ye Qincang had no idea and he dared not to think about the stages beyond that.

If Chen Fan was already a Dao Reunion Perfected Immortal, why would he need to stay on Earth? He could level all of China easily!

Then, Chen Fan told Ye Qincang some basic knowledge about the Realm of Cultivation and the reason why he came.

1"You said you've been to Deity Burial Valley in Kunlun. Did you find anything special there?"

Ye Qincang replied, "I'll tell you the truth, since you already know about the Gate of Heaven and Deity Burial Valley.

"The Deity Burial Valley in Kunlun is one of the Seven Forbidden Lands together with the Dragon Lake in Chang Bai Mountain, the Devil's Cave of Babylon, the Mayan Temples and three other places. In fact, it's not dangerous because of its topography but because of the enormous array it has!"

"An array?"

Chen Fan frowned and was a bit surprised.

Ye Qincang said, "Yes, the array stretches for a hundred miles around the entire mountain and there are all sorts of dangers inside. I almost died when I went there and I'm sure I'd be injured even if I entered after becoming an Earth Level Deity.

"It used to be a battlefield where the Entities fought in ancient times. There were a lot of marks of the battles and also dead bodies and relics of Entities and Sages. I found the energy from one of them and that's how I achieved the Earth Level Deity Body. The dagger with blood marks and the armor were also found there, but they were already in a battered state."

Chen Fan nodded.

His Lesser Five Elements Thunder might be powerful, but not enough to destroy a superior-grade Spirit Artifact.

The dagger and the armor must have suffered from corrosion after countless battles and thousands of years. Otherwise, Chen Fan might not have defeated Ye Qincang so easily.

"The battlefield of the Entities. No wonder it's called Deity Burial Valley," Chen Fan pondered and said.

To be able to create an array surrounding so many mountains that stretched over a hundred miles was a feat beyond what a Connate Cultivator could do.

Only Golden Core Cultivators working together could produce such power, or the array would not be able to kill an Earth Level Deity. It seemed that there really were Golden Core Cultivators on Earth in the past, but they had become decrepit with time.

Ye Qincang said seriously, "Also, I think that the Gate of Heaven is located deep inside the Deity Burial Valley."

"Oh?"

Chen Fan's eyes widened.

He was only half a step away from the Connate level and it was time to look for the Gate of Heaven.

"The peak of Qin Mountain, the East Sea, deep in Kunlun, Mount Shu... These were the places mentioned in books where the Gate of Heaven is located. However, no Immortal State Warriors has ever found it no matter how hard they tried. Zhang Sanfeng and the Great Magus didn't even return from their search. I've been thinking there shouldn't be anything they can't find with their powers, except when it comes to the Deity Burial Valley," Ye Qincang said.

"Right, the Golden Core array in the Deity Burial Valley would be dangerous even for an Earth Level Deity, not to mention an Immortal State Warrior. It's indeed a good way to hide the Gate of Heaven."

Chen Fan nodded.

"I was afraid to go inside that time since the array is too powerful. It twisted space and not even armies and tanks can get in. If not, I'd also like to see what the Gate of Heaven looks like."

Ye Qincang heaved a sigh.

"Don't worry about it. According to the intel I've got, the Gate of Heaven is open. Someone from the Snow God Palace has already come to the human world. You should be able to enter the gate," Chen Fan said.

"The Gate of Heaven is open?" Ye Qincang was shocked and he laughed. "I've read in the books that the Snow God Palace is indeed one of the most powerful sects on the other side of the gate, which is comparable to the Mixed-Essence Sect in the ancient times, but..."

He suddenly hesitated.

"Many books said that those sects only recruit the destined ones. They seem to have a quota so they can't take too many people back with them. Besides, the cultivators from the gate have always looked down on humans. They might not let us in."

"Haha, we'll slaughter our way in then! Let's break that Gate of Heaven."

Chen Fan snickered.

Ye Qincang was first shocked, but then he understood Chen Fan's point.

The cultivators from the Gate of Heaven were very respected in ancient China. They traveled around the world and had always ignored the normal people, even the large sects in the Chinese cultivation community. One of the sects once wanted to capture those cultivators but ended being completely exterminated, and all three of their Immortal State Ancestral Masters were killed.

No one dared to provoke them since then.

Everyone worshiped them like Gods and thought that both the legendary Heaven and the Realm of Cultivation were behind the gate! Even Ye Qincang was afraid of them.

But Chen Fan was different. He came from the real powerful sect in space. Although Ye Qincang didn't know which level Chen Fan had attained in his previous life, he had the feeling that not even the cultivators from the Gate of Heaven would be able to defeat him.

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to look into it. I'm sure even the cultivators from the Gate of Heaven would leave traces."

Ye Qincang nodded.

While they were talking.

Two men and a woman suddenly appeared in a valley enveloped in mist deep in Kunlun.

1All three of them were wearing historical outfits, which were a little different from the Chinese traditional clothes.

One of the men was a brawny man with a blade on his back while the other was a skinny thirty-year-old man in a blue gown, who was an Immortal State Warrior with powerful True Qi.

The woman was wearing a white gown, floating in the air with a frosty look. Among the three of them, she had the highest level of cultivation.

"The human world is so filthy. It's making me uncomfortable even after just a while."

The man with a blade shook his head and said, "I don't think we'll find any potential disciples in this world. It's ridiculous for the sect to still send us here to check. We've abandoned this piece of land for a long time and the environment should have already killed all the good warriors, even if there's any left."

"The Gate of Heaven opens once in centuries. We should have to bring someone back," the man in a blue gown said.

He overlooked the human world like the gods looking at people from above. For the Gate of Heavens' cultivators, Earth was indeed like dust and the place they came from was truly like Heaven!

"I heard that an elder from the Snow God Palace found someone good not long ago," the man in blue gown added as he glanced at the woman with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Yes, one of our elders used a secret treasure to come here earlier while the Gate of Heaven was about to open. She found a twenty-year-old girl who didn't know anything about cultivation but had a rare Ice Spirit Root, a potential person that can directly become a Heavenly Being."

The woman in a white gown nodded. She didn't talk much.

The brawny man with a blade said enviously, "Tut tut, an Ice Spirit Root! It's a rare being even in our realm and can no doubt become an Earth Level Deity after fifty years. The Snow God Palace is so lucky!"

"So, there's still something good about the human world," the man in the blue gown said with arrogance.

"I'll go and explore this foreign world first, to see if I can find anything special. I hope those so-called Immortal State Warriors won't let me down."

The brawny man laughed and tapped his back.

A long, black blade moved close to his grasp and he turned into a ray of black light, shooting into the sky.

"Ah, he's so reckless. We've haven't visited the human world for several centuries, who knows how much it has changed?"

The man in the blue gown shook his head with disdain in his eyes.

"Lei is right. The cultivation world here is chaotic and I bet they don't even have a complete cultivation art. Besides, their power must be much more inferior than ours and Earth Level Deities have been extinct for a thousand years. Let's go, Snow Fairy."

The woman in white gown kept her cool and silent attitude.

It seemed as if nothing in this world could attract her.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chen Fan left Mount Yan once he finished teaching Ye Qincang the basics of Immortal Cultivation. He reckoned that the trip was worthwhile after all, since he had not only learned the secrets of the Deity Burial Valley and the Gate of Heaven, but he had also secured Ye Qincang's help.

Ye Qincang was the symbol of the powerful Kunlun, so he was bound to be a useful ally.

The North Qiong Sect will be able to grow its feathers under Kunlun's protection. In addition, Kunlun's resourcefulness would make Chen Fan's quest for Immortals much easier.

"I've heard that every time the Gate of Heaven opens, chaos ensues. The immortal cultivators from the Gate of Heaven seem to be much more powerful than their mortal counterparts and once they cross the gate, they usher in destruction to the world, annihilating even the most powerful sects. They are powerful Immortal State Warriors, well versed in the ways of Immortal Cultivation," Chen Fan thought to himself.

The only Immortal Cultivator he had met ever since he was reincarnated was Sword Secret the Exalted Cultivator and he had read his Sword Art of Nine Abandonments. Although the sword art was far from being advanced, it was an Immortal Cultivation art nonetheless.

Ye Qincang's Dharma Cultivation stemmed from the primordial art of the Mixed-Essence Sect; it could not compare with the real Immortal Cultivation methods.

"That being said, however powerful they are, I will utterly destroy them if they mess with me," Chen Fan said as his eyes glinted.

Although Chen Fan had learned the location of the Deity Burial Valley, he wasn't planning on visiting it just yet.

He had just been engaged and thought that he should spend more time with Fang Qiong and travel around the world. Meanwhile, he would keep his eyes peeled for any opportunities to level up during his travels.

"Li Changsheng said that his Ancestral Master had recorded multiple possible locations for the Gate of Heaven. Any one of those locations could have a surprise waiting for me. Maybe my hope for leveling up again lies in one of those spots."

As Chen Fan thought to himself, he suddenly realized that he had arrived at a university.

His eyes found the plaque hanging above the entrance.

"Yan Jin Film College"

"Why am I here? Ah! right, this is Xu Rongfei's school. She should be in her fourth year now. I wanted to visit her ever since Xu Ao's death, but other things kept on getting in the way," Chen Fan thought to himself wistfully.

He still felt guilty for what had happened.

Both Auntie Tang and Xu Rongfei had been nice to him. Xu Ao had also been one of his most trusted confidants before his death. If not for him, the Hong Sect and Lin Tashan would have never killed Xu Ao.

"Since I am already here, I might as well visit my old friend."

Without using his Divine Will, Chen Fan walked into the school with thumbs tucked in his pockets.

The Yan Jin Film College was the breeding ground for Chinese celebrities. It's alumni included many renowned actors and directors. Any aspiring student could be a rising star in the future. To attend the school was also the dream of many teenagers in China.

Chen Fan was using the appearance of the Azure Thearch Longevity Body. His long black hair flowed to his shoulders, contrasting with the clean white shirt he was wearing. His tall and handsome appearance had tugged the heartstrings of many girls around the campus.

"Uh? That stud looks familiar. He is even more handsome than Wu Lufeng."

"Is he from our school? Maybe he is from the faculty of acting? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"What do you think? Should I give him my number?"

Many attractive young girls wearing fashionable clothing and carefully made up faces giggled and whispered with each other, glancing at Chen Fan from time to time.

A handsome man was just as a luring sight to girls as a gorgeous bombshell to young men.

By then, Chen Fan had shed some of his youthful appearance, replacing it with a manly and imposing demeanor; it made his already perfect look sublime.

It wasn't long before the girls started to approach him, trying to strike up a conversation.

However, Chen Fan's impassive expression had deterred them from flirting with him.

Even as another girl was about to walk away with disappointment, Chen Fan spoke up and asked her in a warm voice, "Do you know where Xu Rongfei's dorm is?"

The girl was elated by Chen Fan's attention, however, she looked disheartened all over again as soon as she heard Xu Rongfei's name.

"He is here for Xu Rongfei."

"I bet he's just one of Sister Xu's pursuers. No wonder we've never seen him around here."

"There goes my chance of dating a babe magnet."

The group of girls looked disappointed and sad.

One of them quickly gathered herself and walked over to Chen Fan with a healthy dose of confidence. She was wearing glamorous makeup, a red sweater and black yoga pants with beige boots.

"Are you looking for Sister Xu? She's been taking a lot of gigs recently but she is free now since it's the winter break. She stays in dorm number five, I can take you there."

"That would be wonderful."

Chen Fan nodded as a pang of guilt rose inside of him.

Home must have reminded Xu Rongfei of many tragedies, so she had decided to stay at school during the spring festival.

Chen Fan's guide introduced herself while they walked toward Xu Rongfei's dorm.

Her name was Zhang Haiyun, and she was the chairwoman of the Student Arts Council. She would have to be the cream of the crop to secure that position, therefore, it spoke loudly of her talents.

Zhang Haiyun thought that Chen Fan would be impressed by her introduction, but to her surprise, Chen Fan nodded and kept his silence.

"Despite the ordinary clothing he wears, he carries a surprisingly unswerving calm and impassiveness about him that would make even the elite heirs of Yan Jin pale in comparison. He must be someone important."

Zhang Haiyun thought to herself as the smile on her face turned brighter.

"Are you seeing Sister Xu? She is quite popular among the rich heirs you know. The dorm manager told me that she throws away a bucketful of roses each day. I heard that Young Lord Wu, the son of the Tian He Entertainment's owner, is also interested in her."

Zhang Haiyun probed Chen Fan passive aggressively.

Of late, Tian He Entertainment had surpassed Hua Yi Entertainment, becoming the most influential company in the industry.

"Okay."

Chen Fan didn't mind at all.

His indifference had made Zhang Haiyun hesitate a little.

Was Chen Fan putting on that pretentious air to mask his insecurity, or was he really that confident?

It wasn't long before they reached dorm number five.

Lo and behold, there were many luxury cars in the parking lot, and the most ostentatious one was a silver Lamborghini with an outrageously large spoiler. Not all of the rich heirs were there for Xu Rongfei, some were the rich boyfriends of other young starlets.

"That Lamborghini belongs to Young Lord Wu. It's worth more than twenty million," Zhang Haiyun said.

However, her remak didn't seem to pique Chen Fan's attention. She added, "I will try to ask her to come and see you, but I won't make any promises. Even Young Lord Wu has been waiting here for hours and he's still waiting."

"Tell her that her old friend Chen Fan is here," Chen Fan said.

He could sense her presence even without using Divine Will.

Zhang Haiyun started off.

Many girls walked past the dorm and were stunned by Chen Fan's sublime appearance. Many of them even attempted to ask for his number. The commotion made enough of a disturbance to alert the residents of the building, and many more girls peeked out of their windows. They saw a handsome young man surrounded by a group of girls.

Meanwhile, the men waiting in luxury cars were glaring at Chen Fan with jealousy.

"I'm driving the best car and wearing the most expensive watch, but I still can't compare with a pretty boy." A fat middle-aged man grunted under his breath.

Even the handsome young heirs felt they had been outdone by Chen Fan.

An attractive young girl wearing a tank top pushed open the window and then shouted at her dorm mate, "Fei Fei! Look! There is a real stud down there. Xiao Ya and Ermao are both going to ask him for his number. "

"Ningxin, close the window. Do you want everyone to see you in that skanky tank top?"

Xu Rongfei was sitting on a chair with her legs folded while reading a book.

"Humph! Why would I care? They are lucky that I'm not charging them for the view." Ningxin snorted.

She landed her gaze on the book Xu Rongfei was reading, and she wasn't impressed by the title.

"Sutra of Huang Ting? Come on! I really think there's an old man living inside of you. Did you hear what I just said? THERE IS A STUD!"

Xu Rongfei cracked a smile.

Her appearance had aged well like a fine wine. Her body had gained more curves while her face was more elegant.

The unique charm she had about her was approved by many heavy-weight directors.

Zhang Haiyun emerged into the room while Ningxin kept on yelling at Xu Rongfei.

"Sister Xu Rongfei? There's a guy called Chen Fan who wants to see you. He said he's an old friend of yours."

"Thud!"

The book fell from Xu Rongfei's hand.

She was stunned by the development and found it hard to believe what she had heard.

Chapter 637: The Goddess' Boyfriend

"An old friend from Chu Zhou City."

"Chen Fan?"

This name made Xu Rongfei freeze as if under a spell. Ningxin then waved and said, "No, no, you think anyone can meet our superstar? A guy has been waiting for her downstairs for six months and yet Fei Fei has never gone down to meet him..."

Before Ningxin finished her sentence.

Xu Rongfei had already gotten up and rushed out the door, leaving Zhang Haiyun and Ningxin confused.

"What...?"

Ningxin was very confused.

She had lived with Xu Rongfei for four years and knew that her roommate had always been cold towards others. Xu Rongfei never socialized with anyone outside of the movie sets, including the top directors and CEOs of the entertainment companies; it was the first time she saw this excited.

"Why is she acting as if her boyfriend were here?"

Ningxin mumbled.

Zhang Haiyun also looked shocked.

Xu Rongfei saw Chen Fan immediately after she got downstairs.

Even though he looked different, Xu Rongfei had met him at the West Lake and she had recent photos of him that her father, Xu Ao, had given her. So she was quite familiar with his appearance.

"Fei Fei, it's been a while."

Chen Fan cracked a gentle smile.

Xu Rongfei stood there and sized Chen Fan up. It seemed as if she wanted to etch his face in her heart in case he disappeared again.

Meanwhile, people around the dorm felt something was off.

Xu Rongfei had been rising to fame lately and was given the title, the "Goddess of the People." So, she had drawn everyone's attention once she showed up.

But the surprising thing was... Xu Rongfei seemed to know this mysterious hunk!

Were they together?

The richlings who were waiting for Xu Rongfei immediately turned pale and were hoping that this wasn't true.

"Brother Chen Fan," Xu Rongfei said.

She looked at Chen Fan with her round and watery eyes like an abandoned puppy and her voice was soft and gentle like a little girl's.

Everyone else went silent and their eyes popped out.

"I'm sorry I've never come to see you these few years. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer anymore." Chen Fan gently stroked Xu Rongfei's head and sighed.

"Hm."

Xu Rongfei lowered her head.

Her nose turned red and tears welled up in her eyes, but her heart felt extremely warm.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Xu Rongfei had always kept herself aloof from men, and yet she was leaning on a guy like a sweetheart in front of their eyes.

Ningxin went downstairs and was dumbfounded by that sight.

"This is the first time I visit your academy. Mind showing me around?" Chen Fan smiled and said.

"Sure."

Xu Rongfei also showed a beaming smile.

People around them watched Chen Fan and the most beautiful girl in the dorm walk away together but there was nothing they could do.

"Where did he come from? How can he take away my dream girl from me?"

"Oh God, Goddess Xu has never been involved in love affairs in the last four years. Is he her hidden boyfriend?"

"Breaking news! It's going to cause a furor in the entertainment industry."

Some people were devastated, some were astonished and some were furious.

The paparazzi outside the dorm who had been tracking Xu Rongfei immediately took pictures of the two like crazy.

A handsome man stared at Chen Fan and Xu Rongfei with a gloomy face while he sat in a silver Lamborghini.

When he saw Chen Fan's back, doubts came to his mind.

"Strange. Where have I seen this guy?"

Master Wu wondered.

Chen Fan and Xu Rongfei walked side by side.

The Yan Jin Film Academy covered a large area and offered different courses, including literature, performance arts, directing, visual arts, animation, and so on. Each course had a long history and many celebrities had studied in the academy.

Xu Rongfei introduced, "Brother Chen Fan, this is the Department of Literature, where many famous screenwriters graduated from. For example, Zhang Wei, the screenwriter of 'Go La La Go!' and Ding Xiaoyun, the screenwriter of 'Love on a Journey.'"

It seemed that she really liked the film and television industry and knew a lot about it.

"I've been planning to make a movie called 'Legends of Beixuan' with the most famous director in China. The script has already been written! So, I'm currently saving money and will be able to invest on it after a few more years," Xu Rongfei said with anticipation.

"Very well. I'll be the leading actor and you'll be the leading actress. What do you think?" Chen Fan smiled and said.

"Really?"

Xu Rongfei's eyes glittered.

"Of course," said Chen Fan as he patted her head.

Xu Ao's death was one of the things Chen Fan felt guilty about; he would try to make it up to Xu Rongfei by giving her everything she wanted.

The two of them chatted as they walked around.

Xu Rongfei held Chen Fan's arm, then she leaned her head on his shoulder with a contented smile.

Since she had always been a popular figure in the academy, everyone was startled when they saw her being so close to a man.

Students immediately showed up on the forum of the academy.

"The Goddess has a boyfriend!"

"Xu Rongfei went on a date with a mystery man."

"Exclusive news: Xu Rongfei's boyfriend is her high school classmate."

Different shocking posts appeared on the forum one after another.

Those students who went home for the Chinese New Year were thinking that it was a shame they couldn't witness it. After a while, uploaded photos were circulated on the Internet.

Someone forwarded the photos to Weibo.

The students from the Yan Jin Film Academy were very active there.

They were all handsome guys and pretty girls, and a lot of superstars were their seniors. Once they forwarded the photos and told everyone that it was Xu Rongfei, it became the most searched topic in a matter of seconds, surpassing those about some movie stars cheating or getting a divorce.

.

"F*k, seriously? Xu Rongfei has never had any dating rumors since she became an actress!"

"Xu Rongfei who played Lu Yanqi in 'Legends of the Sword Immortal?' No way! My dream girl is so pure and cool. She wouldn't be attracted to any man!"

"There are photos on the Internet. You can see for yourself."

Soon, Weibo was stirred.

A lot of people quickly went to Weibo and scrolled over the photos one by one. The photos were a bit blurry. They could only see Xu Rongfei walking with a man and leaning her head on his shoulder, but they couldn't see what the man looked like because of the distance.

"I don't think it's Xu Rongfei," someone doubted.

"Hundreds of people at Yan Jin Film Academy witnessed it with their own eyes. It must be Xu Rongfei," another person said.

Many people were wondering who the man was and what he looked like.

"If I find out who the guy is, I'll go and beat him up right away," they thought.

An hour later, a post appeared on Weibo and was immediately forwarded by countless students.

"Exclusive! Goddess Xu Rongfei and Her Boyfriend (With HD Photos.)"

The post was created by Birdie Studio, which was the largest paparazzi company in China. They had captured the entire incident with their advanced equipment and HD cameras.

The faces of Xu Rongfei and Chen Fan were clearly seen in the photos.

There was also an intel saying that Chen Fan was Xu Rongfei's classmate in high school and they had known each other since they were young, which was why he could win her over.

This post had confirmed their relationship.

Countless people were depressed because of it and many were thinking that Chen Fan was only an ordinary man who didn't deserve her at all.

While the heated discussion on Weibo was ongoing...

In a luxurious mansion in the outskirts of Yan Jin.

An arrogant man was holding a pretty starlet, smoking on the bed.

He was Wu Zhicheng, the person that mocked Chen Fan on Mount Yan. The Wu family of Yan Jin was a middle-class family that had only a ten billion worth of properties, but the "Tianhe Entertainment Corporation" they operated was an influential company in the entertainment industry. Many movie stars were under their company and Wu Zhicheng was regarded as a successful figure in Yan Jin.

"Wow, Master Cheng, the superstar from your company, Xu Rongfei, has been spotted with a guy!"

This starlet wasn't quite famous but she had a pretty face and a perfect figure. Besides, she was bold enough in bed which was why the Master of Tianhe would sleep with her.

After scrolling through Weibo, she was startled and yelled, "Xu Rongfei, isn't Brother chasing after her? Why does she suddenly have a boyfriend?"

Wu Zhicheng frowned.

His brother, Wu Zhifan, had always been Xu Rongfei's suitor, otherwise he would have already slept with her. Besides, getting involved in scandals was the last thing starlets who had just entered the industry wanted, since it would ruin their future.

"Let me see..."

Wu Zhicheng took the phone and saw Xu Rongfei standing intimately with a man as if they were a lovey-dovey couple.

"F*k, she's really in a relationship."

Wu Zhicheng was enraged. When he was about to get stroppy, he glanced at the man's face and was completely stunned.

"It's... Chen Beixuan?"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 638: Please Forgive Us!

Wu Zhicheng was also there during the battle on Mount Yan. Even though he stood far away because of the lower status of the Wu family, how could he not recognize Chen Fan?

He was Chen Beixuan, the most powerful person in the world!

The starlet next to him said, "Brother Cheng, I think you should punish her a bit!"

Xu Rongfei's career had been thriving over the last two years and many people in the industry were envious of her fame.

"Slap!"

Wu Zhicheng slapped the starlet.

"Brother Cheng, why did you do this to me?"

The starlet was startled.

"If you say something bad about Xu Rongfei again, I will kill you, believe it or not!" What Wu Zhicheng said frightened the starlet, but he didn't know that his legs were also trembling.

He would have never thought that...

Xu Rongfei's boyfriend would be Chen Fan!

Although Chen Fan had already gotten engaged on North Mountain a few days back, it was normal for a big cheese like him to have more than one woman, so Wu Zhicheng would certainly misunderstand it. After all, he had also never heard of anyone in his social circle who only had one partner.

"I didn't know such a powerful person had her back! Fortunately, I didn't force her to sleep with me. If not, the Wu family would have been exterminated by Chen Beixuan."

Wu Zhicheng was terrified.

Xu Rongfei had been rising to fame after playing several leading roles and was regarded as the "Goddess of the People." However, the seniors of Tian He Entertainment thought that Xu Rongfei was too arrogant because she wouldn't comply with the unspoken rules. The other female stars were willing to perform in different events or drink and sleep with the seniors of the company, but she didn't even want to dine with them, as if she were a princess.

"She's indeed making a lot of money for our company, and Li Xinru and Zhifan adore her. If not, I would have cut all her jobs long before."

This was exactly what Wu Zhicheng's father said.

He realized then that Xu Rongfei wasn't arrogant. She was truly superior!

"Why didn't she just tell us she's Chen Beixuan's girlfriend?" Wu Zhicheng said as he suddenly thought about his brother, Wu Zhifan, and he called someone immediately.

"What? He's heading to the Yan Jin Film Academy? Stop him quickly and ask him not to provoke Xu Rongfei!"

Wu Zhicheng hung up and rushed out of the door right away.

At the same time, the Internet had been chaotic.

Such earth-shattering news instantly aroused people's passion for gossiping.

Many said with pity, "What a shame! Xu Rongfei should stay away from any dating rumors and maintain her image. Having a boyfriend now would hit her career hard."

"Yeah, I heard that she has quite a bad relationship with her company. After this incident, the seniors might restrict her activities."

Xu Rongfei's manager, Sister Li, immediately called her.

"Fei Fei, are the photos on the Internet real?"

"What photos? I'm eating with Brother Chen Fan." Xu Rongfei widened her eyes and wondered.

"You... Ah, what should I do with you?"

Sister Li was enraged.

She had no idea why Xu Rongfei still had the mood to eat right then.

"Fine, just don't make any more trouble. Remain silent when the paparazzi show up to question you. I'll deal with it."

Sister Li started calling each website to ask them to delete everything about the incident and found someone to send out messages on behalf of Xu Rongfei's studio, saying that those photos were fake.

Xu Rongfei hung up, looking confused.

In the meantime, they were in a restaurant near the academy. It was small, but the private room was beautifully decorated and the food was also delicious.

Xu Rongfei's roommate, Ningxin, was also there with them.

She opened her eyes wide and glanced at Chen Fan and Xu Rongfei like a curious baby.

Ningxin was looking really cute in a sleeveless mini dress with a yellow down jacket and a white pompom hat.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Fan smiled gently.

Ningxin rolled her eyes and said, "Your photos have been circulating across the Internet and the incident has become the most-searched topic on Weibo. I guess everyone knows that Xu Rongfei has a boyfriend now."

"Huh? Will you be alright, Brother Chen Fan? I don't want Sister Fang to misunderstand us."

Xu Rongfei was worried.

She knew that with Chen Fan's current status, such an incident would cause a great furor once it was exposed.

"Who's Sister Fang?" Ningxin wondered.

"You knew about our engagement?" Chen Fan was surprised.

"Hm."

Xu Rongfei lowered her head, looking a bit sad.

"What? You're engaged?" Ningxin jumped up and her eyes popped out.

"Xiao Qiong doesn't mind about these things, and it wouldn't affect me either. Don't worry."

Chen Fan smiled and conforted Xu Rongfei.

He was the most powerful person on Earth and one of the two Earth Level Deities in China. In order to resist the United States, China would protect him no matter what and Kunlun also had his back, so a little rumor would do him no harm.

"Hm."

Xu Rongfei nodded.

However, Ningxin was so furious she couldn't help but get up and scold him, "Hey, have you no shame? Don't think that you can do anything you want just because you look handsome!

"You're an engaged man but you still came to see Fei Fei and even said you'll be fine after being exposed. You'll be fine but Fei Fei won't! She's at the height of her career and is having conflicts with her company at the same time. Do you know how much impact such an incident would have on her future? It might ruin her entire life! The seniors of Tian He Entertainment have always been looking for Fei Fei's weaknesses..." She yelled continuously like a machine gun.

Xu Rongfei immediately stopped her roommate and apologized to Chen Fan.

"Is your company making things difficult for you?" Chen Fan frowned.

"No, it's just that I don't really like socializing with people and some of the seniors are discontented about it," Xu Rongfei said softly.

"Don't worry, I'll deal with it. You just focus on your work."

Chen Fan nodded with coldness in his eyes.

Ningxin was speechless when she heard that.

"Who do you think you are? Do you really think Tian He Entertainment would be scared of you? Are you the young master of the Wang family, or do you work for the Xiao family?"

She didn't say this out loud though, because she didn't want to upset Xu Rongfei.

Since then, she had been silent and was really dissatisfied with Chen Fan, thinking that he was a liar, a play boy and a beast...

And yet, Xu Rongfei was thrilled to see Chen Fan after several years and she enjoyed eating with him.

"I'll be in Yan Jin these few days. If you want to see me, go to the North Mountain. Xiao Qiong and the girls like you a lot and they always ask me to introduce you to them," Chen Fan said.

"Of course."

Xu Rongfei nodded.

Ningxin remained silent.

When the three of them were about to leave, a tall, handsome man came into the room with a gloomy face.

"Master Wu?"

Ningxin was stunned and she immediately shot Chen Fan a warning glance.

She knew that this young master from Tian He Entertainment had a fiery temper. He had once sent someone to break a leg of one of Xu Rongfei's suitors.

"Wu Zhifan, what are you doing here?"

Xu Rongfei was shocked.

"Fei Fei, you're in great trouble. Sister Li called me several times and asked me to talk to you. You better issue a statement to tell the public that you're not in a relationship, for the sake of your image and career," Wu Zhifan said.

"Right, you must be Fei Fei's boyfriend. If you really want the best for her, you better step up and tell everyone that you're just a normal classmate to Fei Fei. Her career is thriving and you should know how this dating rumor would affect her development."

Wu Zhifan looked at Chen Fan as if he wanted the best for them.

"Wu Zhifan, it's none of your business. Also, don't call me Fei Fei," Xu Rongfei said with an expressionless face.

"Fei Fei, you must think it through. You signed a five-year contract with Tian He Entertainment and the company has the right to control you. The contract clearly indicated that you can't date within five years and you're now violating this term. The company can ask you for compensation or even sue you."

Wu Zhifan started to sound threatening.

Xu Rongfei was startled.

She was still a newbie to the industry when she was offered the contract. Li Xinru had fought for more liberal terms for her back then, but Xu Rongfei hadn't thought about this particular one as she wasn't planning to date in any case. And yet, Wu Zhicheng suddenly brought it up to threaten her.

Ningxin was extremely anxious.

She glanced at Chen Fan and found that he didn't care about Wu Zhifan at all and was drinking tea calmly, making her feel completely disappointed.

"Fei Fei's boyfriend is not only a play boy, but also irresponsible. He's such an as*le! I must persuade her to break up with him!"

While Ningxin swore furiously in her mind.

The door opened again and Wu Zhicheng came in anxiously.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Wu Zhifan was shocked.

Then, Wu Zhicheng quickly walked towards Chen Fan, dropped down on his knees and said with his trembling voice, "Greetings, Heavenly Chen. I'm Wu Zhicheng from the Wu family.

"Please forgive us!"

Silence immediately fell on the room.

Wu Zhifan froze and couldn't believe what he just saw.

Chapter 639: Being Respected Like an Ancestor

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Meanwhile, the room was completely silent.

Chen Fan sat there and drank his tea calmly as if he didn't see a man kneeling in front of him. Xu Rongfei widened her eyes and found it odd.

Ningxin and Wu Zhifan were both dumbfounded. Everyone knew he was Wu Zhicheng, the Master of the Wu Family.

"Brother... Why are you kneeling? Get up!" Wu Zhifan said.

The name "Heavenly Chen" gave him a bad feeling. He heard about him every day from the upper-class community of Yan Jin, but he couldn't imagine that this young man in front of him was the person who defeated an Earth Level Deity.

Wu Zhicheng didn't reply and kept his head on the floor..

After a while, Chen Fan put down the cup and said, "You remember me?"

"I... I saw you fight on Mount Yan," Wu Zhicheng said with a trembling voice.

Even though he got there as fast as he could, he knew he was late and Wu Zhifan must have already offended Chen Fan based on the situation in the room, so he immediately knelt and apologized. In the meantime, he could only pray that Wu Zhifan didn't go too far.

"Then you should know what will happen if you offend me."

Chen Fan tapped his fingers on the desk and Wu Zhicheng felt as if a hammer were pounding on his heart.

"The Wu Family... is willing to do anything... to make it up to you. Please let my brother go," Wu Zhicheng said.

"Let him go? Alright."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "If the Wu Family can do something for me, I'll spare you."

"Please," Wu Zhicheng said.

"It's simple. Terminate all your current contracts with Xu Rongfei and draft a new one without any mandatory rules.

"You must give her the best resources, the best remuneration package and the best manager, and treat her like your own child. Let Fei Fei do what she wants to do, even if she wants to dismantle the company. If I find out she's upset, I'll come for your family," Chen Fan said calmly.

Ningxin was startled.

This wasn't a contract! He was instating Xu Rongfei as a superior, just like their ancestors! To let her do whatever she wanted, including tearing the company apart? Even the top superstars didn't have the right to do those things.

Xu Rongfei's eyes even popped out; she just couldn't believe it.

"Alright."

Wu Zhicheng nodded.

He knew that he would definitely die if he refused to do it. Chen Beixuan had always shown great resolution in taking revenge. It was only because of Xu Rongfei that he could talk so much with Chen Beixuan.

"Go on. Take your brother with you."

Chen Fan waved his hand.

Then, Wu Zhicheng bowed and left the room together with Wu Zhifan. Once they got out, Wu Zhifan immediately said anxiously, "Brother, he's gone too far! Dad and the directors won't accept his condition. Why did you agree?"

"If I didn't, you would have died in there," Wu Zhicheng said.

Wu Zhifan immediately turned pale and replied, "Seriously? This is Yan Jin. How would Chen Beixuan kill somebody here?"

"He's a Heavenly Being. It's a piece of cake for him to kill ordinary people like you and he has thousands of ways to do so," Wu Zhicheng said as something came to his mind.

"You didn't watch the battle on Mount Yan so you can never imagine how terrifying he is. He's an Entity on top of everyone else! Dad would never reject his request, even if this ruins our family business."

Wu Zhifan froze and was filled with remorse.

When they left, Xu Rongfei jumped with excitement and went into Chen Fan to hug and kiss him. "Thank you, Brother Chen Fan!"

She stared at Chen Fan with her twinkling eyes.

Xu Rongfei remembered the first time they met. Chen Fan stepped up for her like Prince Charming and beat Zhou Tianhao up. Since then, Chen Fan had always been in her heart.

"Alright, you're not a kid anymore. Get up. You're the Goddess of the People!"

Chen Fan smiled and patted Xu Rongfei's waist.

"No, you're already engaged to Sister Fang Qiong. We'll have less opportunities to meet in the future," Xu Rongfei said with a gloomy look.

Chen Fan remained silent.

The two of them came from two different worlds after all and he didn't come back for Xu Rongfei.

Then, a cry of exclamation broke the silence of the room.

"Oh God, who exactly are you, Chen Fan? How did you make Wu Zhicheng beg you? It's Wu Zhicheng, the Master of the Wu Family! He's in charge of most of the matters in Tian He Entertainment. Tell me, are you a Young Master from a super wealthy family and playing Cinderella with Fei Fei?"

Ningxin looked at Chen Fan.

As a student at Yan Jin Film Academy, Ningxin was clearly aware of the power Tian He Entertainment and the Wu Family had. If they liked somebody, they could make him or her the most famous movie star in China even if beauty was lacking.

So, it was truly unbelievable that such an influential figure would kneel before Chen Fan and accept his terms. Ningxin was completely in awe.

Chen Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "Maybe because he was afraid that I'd punch him."

Ningxin then sat next to Chen Fan and tried to force him to tell the truth.

The three of them left the restaurant after a while. Chen Fan walked Xu Rongfei and Ningxin to the entrance of the academy, then he gave them his number and left.

Looking at Chen Fan's back, Ningxin then said to Xu Rongfei with jealousy, "Why didn't you tell me you had such a powerful boyfriend?

"Right, is he really engaged?"

Ningxin's face suddenly fell.

"It's true. A few days ago, the city was covered in red maple leaves and there was a ten-mile line of cars. That was the day he got engaged," Xu Rongfei said.

"The mysterious guy on North Mountain whom people talk about on the Internet?"

Ningxin covered her mouth and gasped.

On Chen Fan's engagement day, many large families and envoys from different countries made an appearance to congratulate him. Even the people in Yan Jin had never seen such a grand event like that. There was a ten-mile line of cars which caused traffic jams in Yan Jin all day, and the city was covered in red maple leaves which was a magnificent scene people would never forget.

"There were heated discussions about it on the Internet and it's still the most popular topic on Weibo right now. I only know the girl is North Qiong Corp's CEO, but no one has information about the guy. Everyone is guessing that he must be some Young Master from the Wang Family or the Xiao Family. Fei Fei, tell me! Who's he?"

Ningxin widened her eyes like a curious baby.

Xu Rongfei hesitated and said, "If I'm correct, he's the 'Myanmar Sage' you used to be fond of."

"What?"

Ningxin stood there open-mouthed.

Chen Fan went back to the villa after leaving the Yan Jin Film Academy.

It was still the Chinese New Year. Chen Fan stayed with his family and girlfriend every day and went around Yan Jin. Chen Fan felt content when he saw smiles on Fang Qiong and An Ya's faces.

During this period of time, Wu Zemin, the leader of the Wu Family, paid a visit to North Mountain with Wu Zhifan to apologize to Chen Fan, but Yukishiro Sa didn't let them in. When they got back, Wu Zemin beat Wu Zhifan fiercely and went to apologize to Xu Rongfei again.

Many girls who stayed at the academy saw this and were stunned.

The news about Xu Rongfei having a strong backer who forced the CEO of Tian He Entertainment to apologize to her was spread across the entertainment industry, and many movie stars who used to look down on Xu Rongfei suddenly became respectful to her.

"Thank you, Brother Chen Fan."

Xu Rongfei went to North Mountain to thank Chen Fan with Ningxin.

She was extraordinarily beautiful and sweet. When she saw Wang Xiaoyun and Chen Gexin, she called them uncle and auntie.

Wang Xiaoyun had already met Xu Rongfei during the annual party of the Chen family years before and she had once treated Xu Rongfei like her daughter-in-law. After knowing Xu Ao died because of Chen Fan, she felt really sorry for Xu Rongfei so she told everyone that she would be her godmother.

"Chen Fan, listen to me. Fei Fei will be your sister from now on. Take care of her, okay?" Wang Xiaoyun said as she grabbed Chen Fan's ear.

"Yes, Mom."

Chen Fan smiled wryly and raised both of his hands.

Xu Rongfei, An Ya, Fang Qiong and the others covered their mouths and tried to hide their smiles. Chen Fan was so superior that only Wang Xiaoyun could kick his a*. Other people wouldn't even breathe in front of him.

Ningxin gasped.

She finally understood what kind of person Chen Fan was after a few days.

"As powerful as a country, top warrior on the Divine Roll, able to move mountains and shatter the earth, he defeated an Earth Level Deity..." Even all these descriptions weren't as shocking as seeing Old Lord Qin and Old Lord Xiao apologize to him.

"He's a big cheese with everyone in the upper-class community of Yan Jin under him. No wonder Wu Zhicheng and his Dad are so frightened. The Wu family is nothing compared to the Xiao family and the Qin family," Ningxin thought as she looked at Xu Rongfei with an envious face.

Under the protection of a brother like him, who else in the world would do her wrong? Xu Rongfei could probably do anything she wanted in the entertainment industry from then on!

Ten days later, the winter break ended.

Chen Fan left Yan Jin and started his journey around the world.

"Let's go to the East Sea first," Chen Fan said calmly.

Chapter 640: Islands on the East Sea

Since Chen Fan had become so powerful, the only thing that was worth pursuing was the Connate level.

The Connate level was the real beginning of the cultivation journey and only by reaching this level could Chen Fan arrange everything for the future.

Even though he defeated Ye Qincang, it was only because the man had just become an Earth Level Deity and the secret art of the True Martial Celestial Sect was quite powerful. Chen Fan certainly would certainly have to be more careful when facing the experienced Earth Level Deities or nuclear weapons.

"I'm now at the peak stage of the Divine Sea. In order to achieve the Connate level, I need at least three bottles of Spirit Dew of Earth Level Deities or five hundred pieces of Divine Crystals."

Chen Fan looked far away.

"The East Sea, Qin Mountain, Mount Shu, the West Desert... and the Deity Burial Valley in Kunlun.

"These are all places where former cultivators discovered some traces of the Sages. I'll leave the Deity Burial Valley for last, since I'm already sure that it used to be an ancient battlefield and that it has a Golden Core array surrounding it. The Golden Core array is extremely powerful and it's too risky for me to enter at my current level."

Chen Fan then turned into a ray of azure light and flashed to the East.

A normal Immortal State Warrior could only travel a hundred kilometers at once, but Chen Fan's True Essence was so strong at the moment that it wasn't a problem for him to travel several thousand kilometers without stopping.

"Swoosh!"

He swept across the sky.

Chen Fan hadn't felt such freedom in a long time. He flew thousands of meters up in the sky with clouds around him. His speed was comparable to a subsonic fighter and he arrived at the East Sea in four hours.

The East Sea was extremely wide.

Old legends stated that the entire area to the east of the country was regarded as the East Sea.

Apart from the Crystal Palace, the Dragon Lord had also lived in the East Sea, and the Ten Lands and Three Islands were located there as well. Emperor Qin Shihuang had once sent his men there to look for the Sages but they couldn't find any of them.

What Chen Fan was looking for were the Ten Lands and Three Islands.

"Whoosh."

The fishermen on the Bo Sea suddenly saw a ray of azure light right above the ocean. It was Chen Fan. His Immortal Will flashed across the surface of the Bo Sea in all directions, resembling a giant spider web.

Even if he was only at the peak stage of the Divine Sea, his Immortal Will could already be able to cover an area of more than a hundred kilometers. Chen Fan would need less than a day to scan through the entire Bo Sea.

"Ancient books state that the Ten Lands and Three Islands are located on the Bo Sea, but no modern technology can find them. So, it's apparently covered by a giant array or even hidden inside a space crack by a Golden Core or a Nascent Soul Cultivator," Chen Fan thought.

The Bo Sea wasn't too big and Chen Fan had almost finished his search after half a day. Suddenly, he was shocked by what he found and his eyes were twinkling.

"Is that... an array?"

He immediately threw out a blade aura.

The invisible blade aura slashed at the air and caused ripples similar to those made when something is dropped in the water.

"There's indeed an array and it even carries some space energy. It was probably set by a Golden Core Cultivator." Chen Fan was excited and he quickly tapped on the Blade Strengthening Gourd.

"Rise!"

The golden aura shot across the air and hit on the array. The ripples spread out further and the whole surface was vibrating as if it was going to break. Chen Fan knew that this was due to the interference of the external forces on the array, making it difficult to maintain the illusion.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Chen Fan threw eighteen slashes at once.

Each of the blade auras was bright and twenty-feet long like a dragon.

The array was a super large Illusion Array probably created by a Golden Core Cultivator. And yet, its power had eventually dissipated after thousands of years and its foundation was unstable.

After the consecutive attacks of Chen Fan's flying sword, the array shook and a crack appeared on it.

Chen Fan immediately merged with the sword and turned into a long ray of light to shoot through the crack. When Chen Fan got in, the array repaired the gap and everything soon returned to normal.

After a while, a boat sailed past; people had no idea there was an invisible array.

"Phew, I'm finally in."

Chen Fan saw an island of around hundred square miles which was enveloped in mist. There were plants, animals and a ten-meter-long bird flying above it in the sky.

"According to the descriptions, this must be the Ten Lands and Three Islands."

Chen Fan looked back and saw a thick layer of mist that carried a powerful force that was able to cut off his Immortal Will.

But he didn't find it weird.

"People would have already discovered such a large island if it appeared on the Bo Sea. There might even be a war between the countries in East Asia to claim it."

Chen Fan cracked a smile.

After that, Chen Fan slowly flew to the island. It wasn't too big and Chen Fan's Immortal Will could immediately envelop the entire place. Even though there were many beasts living there, there didn't seem to have any traces of Earth Level Deities as said in the legends.

"The Spirit Qi here is five times more abundant than in the outside world, which is why these normal animals evolved into beasts. And yet, they aren't powerful enough to support the entire settlement so I guess those Earth Level Deities have already died," Chen Fan pondered.

Then, a giant eagle that was almost thirty meters wide came down from the sky. It had black, shiny, sword-shaped feathers, a pair of fierce eyes and golden yellow claws.

"Swish!"

The eagle dived and caught a twenty-meter snake from the grass. The snake had a body as thick as a water bucket and weighed several tons, comparable to the Yin Snake Chen Fan had seen before.

The eagle then grabbed the snake and rose into the air to break its head with sharp claws.

In a blink, the snake's sturdy body was cracked into a few pieces and it died right away.

"What a strong eagle."

Chen Fan clapped and was thrilled.

The eagle should have reached the Divine Sea level and its body was as strong as a normal Immortal State Warrior. Chen Fan's Immortal Will also sensed that it was one of the most powerful spirits on the island.

"Wee!"

The eagle screamed when it saw Chen Fan.

Its piercing sound wave spread in all directions. How powerful was a full-power cry of an Immortal State Animal? The leaves within dozens of meters were crushed, trees were bent and many other animals escaped as fast as they could.

"You can't hurt me with such a weak attack."

Chen Fan smiled and the sound wave felt like a gentle breeze to him.

"Whoosh!"

The eagle stretched its wings out, looking angry.

Its ten-meter-long wings slashed like swords. This was the eagle's best attack which caused the air to explode. Then, a white mark appeared and shot towards Chen Fan!

"Haha!"

Chen Fan laughed and knocked the eagle on the ground with the azure aura in his hand. When the eagle was trying to resist, Chen Fan flipped his hand.

A thunderous sound came from the air and a giant azure palm pressed the eagle down.

The eagle was as weak as a baby under the powerful azure palm.

"Hm, you're surrendering? Looks like you're quite intelligent."

When the palm was about to press harder, Chen Fan sensed a Soul Energy surge which seemed to be begging him for mercy. He had never thought about killing this eagle. After all, being able to achieve the Immortal State on Earth was really incredible.

"Fine, I'll spare you."

Chen Fan retrieved the azure palm.

The eagle got up but it didn't escape. Instead, it came close to Chen Fan and rubbed its head against him like a puppy.

"Knock it off! Now, take me to the center."

Chen Fan got onto the back of the eagle and it also nodded obediently.

"Boom!"

It broke the sonic barrier and reached a supersonic speed like a fighter aircraft. Even powerful people like Chen Fan couldn't keep flying at such a speed for a long time; but unlike humans, eagles were born to be good at flying and were able to do so.

Chen Fan stood on the back of the eagle and said, "This is awesome. I don't have to use my power to fly from now on. Do I look like the pilot of a fighter aircraft?"

The eagle flew swiftly and they arrived at the center of the island.

Chen Fan jumped off and saw some ruins.

The ten-feet walls and the paintings on them showed how grand this palace had to be in the past and even Earth Level Deities might have paid a visit there.

However, the walls had become extremely vulnerable; even though there were arrays and runes on them, Chen Fan could turn them into ashes with a gentle touch.

"Without going beyond the universe, even Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals would die, not to mention Connate Cultivators!"

Chen Fan heaved a sigh.

He walked all the way to the deepest place of the ruins and saw an enormous black stele with a word carved on it.

"Yingzhou!"

"This is the Yingzhou Island of the Ten Lands and Three Islands?"

Chen Fan was shocked.

Then, he found that there were more words carved behind the stele and he was startled after reading them.
