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 673: The One Who Killed You Was Earth Level Deity Leixing!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Knowing about the Treasure Tree, Chen Fan didn't hold back anymore.

He swept across the sky like a bulldozer and smacked down every monster, array and poison shield he saw. With his terrifying True Essence, nothing could stand in his way.

"There's a poisonous dragon in the river ahead of us. It's the dominator of the area and has already been cultivating for eight centuries. It can let out poison mist from its mouth and has a similar level as mine..." the Ancient Fire Ape said with its Soul Energy.

1Connate Spirit Beasts were as intelligent as humans.

But before it finished talking...

Chen Fan had already placed his hand in the river. Five invisible ten-feet fingers then appeared, creating great waves on the river as if caused by a giant hand.

"Argh!"

There came a long roar.

A hundred-meter poisonous dragon was struggling within the giant hand.

The poisonous dragon was black and there were two sarcomas on its head. It was letting out a green poison mist which burnt the air and created some crackling sounds. However, it looked like a little caterpillar while it was held by the enormous hand.

"Poof."

Chen Fan tightened his grip on the poisonous dragon, making it explode. Its poisonous blood then poured into the river and countless fish died.

Chen Fan turned around and asked, "What did you say?"

The Ancient Fire Ape widened its eyes and was totally speechless.

Ye Qincang was also startled. He thought that he was about to be as powerful as Chen Fan, but it seemed that Chen Fan had become even stronger after entering the Connate Level.

"Let's get going."

Chen Fan flicked his sleeves and flew towards the Treasure Tree.

The Ancient Fire Ape and Ye Qincang followed behind him. They sped ahead as if they were on an armored vehicle; everything in their way was smashed by Chen Fan.

An hour later.

A small mountain appeared in front of them.

"There's the Treasure Tree!" the Ancient Fire Ape yelled.

Chen Fan looked over.

The mountain was a hundred meters high and black like charcoal. It was surrounded by a large amount of Spirit Qi and there was a one-meter tree at the peak.

The entire tree was gold in color and there were three fruits growing on it. The peak of the mountain was surrounded by thunderclouds and lightning struck from time to time, which would then be absorbed by the fruits.

"This Treasure Tree blooms once every three centuries and grows only three fruits every time. By then, the monsters and dominators of the Deity Burial Valley will gather and fight for the fruits. The three fruits carry flashes of lightning, and those who eat them can become Spirit Beasts and gain Thunder Powers at the same time," the Ancient Fire Ape explained.

"Crack."

A thick lightning bolt suddenly struck the golden tree. The entire mountain was covered with electric bolts and there were glitters of golden light on the tree.

"This is..."

Ye Qincang was stunned.

That strike was comparable to the Thunder Art of an Earth Level Deity but the golden tree wasn't affected at all.

"This is a Thunder Fruit Tree. It only grows on Essence Magnet Mountain and is a rare Treasure Medicine. It produces Thunder Fruits which are used for cultivating Thunder Divine Powers," Chen Fan explained with his twinkling eyes.

"Thunder Divine Powers?"

Ye Qincang knew how frightening Divine Powers were. "Like Tian Mingzi's Wind Thunder Wings?"

"There's nothing special about the Wind Thunder Wings. Divine Powers developed after eating Thunder Fruits are several times more powerful than that." Chen Fan laughed with disdain.

"Sthh."

Ye Qincang gasped.

"This is the place most sought after by the beasts and dominators in the entire Deity Burial Valley, and the Thunder Fruit Tree is protected by an array. No one can take the fruits until they're ripe and those who pick them without permission have to die..." the Ancient Fire Ape said.

But Chen Fan had already stretched out his hand.

A giant hand then gripped the black mountain. Chen Fan was apparently trying to uproot the tree together with the mountain.

1"Bang!"

The golden tree sent out beams of golden light.

Flashes of lightning struck and immediately formed countless pillars that enveloped the entire mountain, acting as a shield against Chen Fan's giant hand.

"You think an array can stop me?"

Chen Fan sneered as he shot out two light rays from his eyes.

"Boom!"

A large amount of True Essence surged out from his body. After completing the Sky-Swallowing Painting and entering the Connate Level, Chen Fan's body was filled with True Essence which made him like a peak-stage Connate Cultivator.

So, how terrifying would it be when he attacked with his full power?

Then, an enormous black swirl appeared in the air.

The swirl was a hundred feet large and it spinned continuously above the peak. Many lightning pillars were sucked into the black hole right away.

The tree also started letting out golden light, trying to resist Chen Fan, but the mountain under it began to shake violently, seemingly overwhelmed.

Sky-Swallowing Divine Power!

It came from the Kun Peng and its power was earth-shattering.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, someone anxiously sent a strong Immortal Will from afar.

Everyone frowned and looked up. A flash of lightning flew towards them; there was a ten-meter Thunder Beast inside, staring at Chen Fan.

Ye Qincang stepped forward and said, "Senior Chen, go get the Treasure Tree. I'll deal with it."

But the Ancient Fire Ape immediately said, "It's too late..."

Then, many Immortal Wills came from all directions and each of them was as strong as that of the Fire Ape and the poisonous dragon.

When Chen Fan grabbed hold of the Thunder Fruit Tree, a great furor was caused across the entire Deity Burial Valley.

"I told you not to take the Thunder Fruit Tree. Whoever removes it will become the mutual enemy of the dominators in all the Deity Burial Valley," the Ancient Fire Ape cried.

How many Connate Beings were there in the Deity Burial Valley?

Ye Qincang wasn't so sure about it before but the massive reaction made him realize the scope if things.

Flashes of light fell from the sky and six Spirit Beasts soon showed up around the black mountain. The Thunder Leopard surrounded by bolts of lightning, the Red Tiger that sent out fire, the White Snake that controlled clouds... Every one of them seemed to be powerful and Ye Qincang quickly stepped back.

"Six Spirit Beasts," Ye Qincang said anxiously.

Who would have thought there would be so many Connate Spirit Beasts at the Deity Burial Valley? All of them would turn the world upside down if they got out.

And yet, they weren't all of them. Ye Qincang could sense that other Spirit Beasts were observing from afar.

"Trespassers, you must stop now or you'll die!" the Thunder Leopard shouted with a thunderous voice.

"No need to talk to them. Let's just tear these two men and the stupid monkey apart," a golden eagle said with its Immortal Will.

"Stop this instant!" the other Spirit Beasts howled together.

Facing six Spirit Beasts, Ye Qincang was overwhelmed and his face turned pale, while the Ancient Fire Ape stomped its foot and said, "I just led them here. I'm not with them."

In the meantime, Chen Fan ignored them as if they didn't exist.

1He kept sending out True Essence and the black swirl became bigger. Its energy made the mountain shake as if it were going to be sucked in.

"You!"

The Thunder Leopard was enraged and it immediately created a golden lightning to strike Chen Fan.

Ye Qincang immediately threw a mixed-essence attack against the lightning, but those Spirit Beasts were too powerful. His body was almost unable to withstand it.

"Kill him."

Other Spirit Beasts approached with surging viciousness.

As for the Ancient Fire Ape, it had already escaped. Apes were the most cunning and disloyal animals.

"Senior Chen!" Ye Qincang yelled.

Chen Fan didn't care at all and the Spirit Beasts were all swallowed by his True Essence when they came closer to him.

"Boom!"

Then, five light rays arrived at the black mountain. It was Earth Level Deity Leixing, Qian Yexue and the others.

"There's a Thunder Fruit Tree! I can't believe we can find something like this here. Entering the Deity Burial Valley with our sect's treasure was well worth it."

Earth Level Deity Leixing couldn't take his eyes off the golden tree.

He said with a hint of excitement, "Stop the Spirit Beasts for me. After getting the Thunder Fruit Tree, the Heavenly Thunder Sect will offer you a hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

"Sure!"

Overlord Fury and the others nodded immediately.

Even though Thunder Fruits were Treasure Medicines, they were most effective to Thunder Cultivators and were best used for practicing Thunder Divine Powers. For the others, a hundred thousand Spirit Stones sounded more attractive.

As for the Spirit Beasts, Ye Qincang and Chen Fan, the Earth Level Deities of the Realm of Kunxu didn't care about them at all.

"You're Chen Beixuan? Remember, the one who killed you was Earth Level Deity Leixing!"

Earth Level Deity Leixing stepped forward and waved.

A lightning dragon came out of his sleeve and shot towards Chen Fan. It was dense and concrete like a real dragon.

Even the Spirit Beasts were frightened.

It was the astonishing Divine Power of Earth Level Deity Leixing.

"Demon Divine Thunder."

"Senior Chen!" Ye Qincang shouted again with a worried look.

There was disdain in the eyes of the other Earth Level Deities. They knew that no humans could resist Earth Level Deity Leixing.

"What a shame."

Changhe Sword Immortal heaved a sigh.

At the same time, Chen Fan frowned and turned around with a chilly attitude.

"Is it you who's disturbing me?"

Chapter 674: Winning with a Finger

Chen Fan looked cold like a chilly wind.

A golden thunder dragon was flying across the sky. It was formed with countless bolts of lightning and each of them carried a terrifying destructive energy. Even though it wasn't as powerful as the "Five Elements Thunder," it was able to exterminate monsters and resist all evil.

Demon Divine Thunder!

Earth Level Deity Leixing dominated the Realm of Kunxu with this Divine Power and no one, except the Sect Masters, could compete with him. Countless evil Earth Level Deities had been killed by this attack.

The Spirit Beasts were all frightened when they saw this move.

But Chen Fan didn't run away and he stood there with his hands behind his back. When the thunder dragon came, the black swirl sucked it in silently.

The Sky-Swallowing Divine Power of the Kun Peng was much more powerful compared to the Demon Divine Thunder.

"Interesting."

Earth Level Deity Leixing narrowed his eyes.

Although he hadn't used his full power, his attack could have killed a normal Earth Level Deity. He had never thought that Chen Fan could survive it.

"Looks like there really is a genius in the mortal world. No wonder you could kill Xuan Luo and Tian Mingzi! However, you shouldn't have provoked the Realm of Kunxu. We're Deities from the Gate of Heaven and you're only ordinary human beings. We'll kill you for offending us!" Earth Level Deity Leixing said as he created two lightning dragons.

They flew across the air and lit up the sky.

This attack had used 70% of the power of Earth Level Deity Leixing and it frightened Elder Qijue and the others. They knew that they would be unable to withstand it even with all their trump cards.

"Go to Hell!"

Chen Fan frowned and was furious.

The Thunder Fruit Tree was protected by an array which was connected to the entire array of the Deity Burial Valley. Chen Fan was trying to break the array with his Divine Powers and uproot the tree together with the mountain. Since he had been interrupted during the last step, how could he not be angry?

"Swallow."

Chen Fan waved his hand.

A huge black swirl appeared in the sky and swallowed the two lightning dragons.

"What's this?"

Elder Qijue and the others frowned.

The Demon Divine Thunder was a secret art that could crush any Dharma Treasure.

But Chen Fan swallowed the Thunder Dragons silently as if nothing had happened. They had never seen such a strange Divine Power in the Realm of Kunxu!

Since Earth Level Deity Leixing was still unable to defeat Chen Fan after two attacks, he was a bit angry and was about to show his real strength. Then, a loud noise came.

"Boom!"

The lightning pillars around the golden tree suddenly collapsed; the tree and the Essence Magnet Mountain were both exposed in front of everybody.

"The array is broken! Get the Thunder Fruits!" Overlord Fury yelled.

All the Spirit Beasts also gave up fighting with Ye Qincang and rushed to the golden tree. Those were the Treasure Medicines that could help them become Connate Beings and cultivate Divine Powers!

The Thunder Leopard was the fastest among them.

It created a bolt of electric light in the air, instantly breaking the sonic barrier, rushing forward at several times the speed of sound.

"Stop them! The Heavenly Thunder Sect will offer you a hundred and twenty thousand Spirit Stones!" Earth Level Deity Leixing shouted and instantly turned into a golden thunderbolt, shooting towards the golden tree. The others, including Elder Qijue and Overlord Fury, also followed him.

Revenge was nothing in front of a Treasure Tree.

Chen Fan couldn't really get away anyway. As long as he was still in the mortal world, Earth Level Deity Leixing could find him and his family, and could turn the world upside down.

"Get out of my way!"

Earth Level Deity Leixing sent out a twenty-feet lightning dragon that sped towards the Thunder Leopard.

The Thunder Leopard was the descendant of the Thunder Beast. It was born with the ability to control thunder and lightning, and with the Divine Power, "Golden Divine Thunder." Its entire body was surrounded by a golden aura that protected it from other Thunder Arts.

And yet, it couldn't withstand the attack of Earth Level Deity Leixing.

"Bang!"

A loud noise came.

The shield of the Thunder Leopard cracked and it was severely injured; it fell onto the ground.

Even the Thunder Leopard was helpless against Earth Level Deity Leixing, showing how terrifying he was. The other Spirit Beasts saw this and immediately slowed down a bit.

Meanwhile, Elder Qijue and the others had already moved forward to stop the Spirit Beasts. Changhe Sword Immortal even fought three of them at the same time.

"If I take this Treasure Tree back, our sect will have at least three Connate Beings with top Divine Powers every three centuries. Years later, we'll be able to fight against the Yuntian Palace."

Earth Level Deity Leixing ran to the Treasure Tree with uncontrollable greed.

He had never thought that he could get such a great reward in this visit to Earth. Compared to the Treasure Tree, the death of Tian Mingzi wasn't important anymore.

"Crack."

When Earth Level Deity Leixing was about to take the Treasure Tree, a voice came.

"I found the Treasure Tree first and I broke the array. How dare you take it?"

"Who's this?"

Earth Level Deity Leixing turned around and saw Chen Fan standing behind him.

"Chen Beixuan?"

Earth Level Deity Leixing sneered.

Earth Level Deity Leixing said with arrogance, "I wanted to let you go. If you had escaped while I took the Treasure Tree, you would have lived for longer, but you prefer to stand in my way instead. Then, I'll have no choice but to kill you and everyone in your sect to warn the world about the power of the Gate of Heaven!"

He was the lawmaker of the Heavenly Thunder Sect and was influential in the Realm of Kunxu. Even Earth Level Deities had to listen to his orders.

"Is that so?" Chen Fan said with coldness in his eyes.

Then, Elder Qijue came on a black swirl and said, "Leixing, get the tree. I will kill Chen Beixuan. The real king of beasts of the Deity Burial Valley will soon arrive. We must hurry."

As expected, when Earth Level Deity Leixing listened carefully...

He heard an earth-shattering howl coming from dozens of miles away. A vicious beast was on its way.

"I'll spare you for now."

Earth Level Deity Leixing grunted as he turned into a huge lightning hand and covered the golden tree. This Treasure Tree was connected with the entire Essence Magnet Mountain, so the mountain had to be lifted as well in order to uproot the tree. Even Earth Level Deity Leixing had to use his full power to do so.

"But I'm not sparing you!"

Chen Fan smiled indifferently and flicked his fingers. A black True Essence then turned into a giant swirl and blocked the lightning hand made by Earth Level Deity Leixing.

"I'll be your opponent, kid."

Elder Qijue snickered.

As one of the elders of the Mieqing Sect, even their Sect Master had to respect him, not to mention Chen Fan.

"Argh!" Elder Qijue shouted.

He swayed his body and turned into a vague figure which then appeared behind Chen Fan with a strange dagger.

There were seven parts on the dagger, each carved with some special poison curses which could kill an Earth Level Deity. It was in the shape of a snake and the soul of a green snake would appear with tremendous viciousness when waved.

The Seven Snakes Dagger.

One of the Dharma Artifacts of the Mieqing Sect, a mid-grade Spirit Artifact!

Elder Qijue was famous for his Seven Star Poisons. Each of his seven poison curses could kill an Earth Level Deity. The snake soul sealed in the dagger was an ancient viper which could lower someone's vitality. Even though the dagger was a mid-grade Spirit Artifact, its power was comparable to superior-grade Spirit Artifacts.

Elder Qijue could kill the Blood Ancestor and Ye Qincang and dominate the Earth with this attack.

"Piece of cake."

Chen Fan looked calm and he raised his finger, His initial-success Divine Body was powerful enough to defeat the Blood Ancestor. Ever since his breakthrough to the Connate Level, he didn't need to take an early-stage Connate Being seriously.

"Phantom!"

Seeing such a move, Elder Qijue cracked a smile, thinking that Chen Fan had been fooled.

In a blink, two avatars appeared from Elder Qijue's body. They were each holding a dagger, moving towards Chen Fan.

Each of the daggers carried vicious Qi of Bloody Malice and were apparently as terrifying as the Seven Snakes Dagger.

It was like three Earth Level Deities attacking together and Chen Fan was in a dangerous situation.

Elder Qijue sneered and said, "The people in the mortal world are too naive. You don't know that cultivators from the Mieqing Sect always fight with all of our might! I've been dominating the Realm of Kunxu for centuries, so why wouldn't I have trump cards in my hands? Now, let me show you my 'Seven Phantoms of Mieqing.'"

The Seven Phantoms of Mieqing was the secret art of the Mieqing Sect. Their Ancestral Master had once created seven avatars of himself. Each of them could exhibit all of his original energy and this was an art assassins had to learn. Although Elder Qijue could only make two avatars, they were powerful enough to dominate the Earth.

"Hm!"

Chen Fan didn't say a word and allowed the other two daggers stab him. Then, he gently tapped the Seven Snakes Dagger.

"Crack."

Elder Qijue froze.

The green dagger let out a cry and started cracking from the tip. An unmatched energy then went towards Elder Qijue along the dagger, making him spurt out blood as if struck by lightning.

WIth just a finger.

The Spirit Artifact was smashed and the Earth Level Deity was defeated!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 675: Most Powerful of All

"Pfft!"

Elder Qijue was pushed back as he spurted out blood. His dagger cracked and exploded, and his shoulders, chest, thighs and arms were also bleeding.

Chen Fan was too powerful. Even though he only attacked with a finger, its energy was comparable to that of a nuclear explosion; not even an Earth Level Deity Body could withstand it.

In the end.

"Boom!"

The True Essence exploded and Elder Qijue was blown into blood mist.

"How is that possible?"

Seeing this sight, Cold Moon Fairy, Overlord Fury and the others were stunned and even Changhe Sword Immortal looked over.

Elder Qijue was the elder of the Mieqing Sect and was an experienced Earth Level Deity, but Chen Fan defeated him with a finger? Was Chen Fan really someone from the mortal world?

"Swish!"

A shadow suddenly came out of the blood mist and Elder Qijue appeared. He was looking pale and frightened.

If it wasn't for his Divine Power, Chen Fan's attack would have killed him already.

"How can he be so powerful? He's much stronger than Earth Level Deity Leixing or even my Sect Master. I guess only the Sect Masters of the major sects in Kunxu can compare with him."

Elder Qijue thought.

Chen Fan's True Essence had reached the peak stage of the Connate level and Elder Qijue had to risk his life to resist the attack.

"You're alive?"

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.

He had underestimated the Earth Level Deities of the Realm of Kunxu. After all, they had the cultivation arts passed down from ancient times. Although they might not be very powerful, they were difficult to deal with and had many arts that could keep them alive.

"But can your Divine Power save you once more?"

Chen Fan took a step forward as if the air underneath didn't exist, then flashed toward Elder Qijue in a second and crushed him with a finger,

"Help me!" Elder Qijue yelled.

His wrinkles instantly disappeared and his face became ruddy and smooth. His white hair also turned black and his vitality surged.

He had apparently used his secret art to restore his vitality.

"Argh!"

Elder Qijue then swayed his body and created three phantoms. They flashed towards Chen Fan with fingertips that could destroy everything.

"Mieqing Finger."

A secret art of the Mieqing Sect that carried viciousness; it could destroy someone's soul.

"Together!"

Overlord Fury ignored the White Snake and attacked from afar.

The technique he practiced was the Grand Fire Palm of Mount Thunder!

A ten-feet burning golden palm came forth. Chen Fan's power seemed to have astonished the Earth Level Deities of the Realm of Kunxu and forced them to let out their best.

"Swish!"

Cold Moon Fairy also shot out the Icy Divine Light.

A crystal clear light ray flashed across the sky. The Divine Light was formed with the chilly air of the North and was enveloped in True Essence, which could freeze everything.

Three Earth Level Deities attacking together!

Even Qian Yexue was startled.

Although she knew Chen Fan was powerful, she had never thought he would back Elder Qijue into a corner.

"The three Earth Level Deities are in this together. You'll have no chance of winning," Qian Yexue thought.

But what happened next made her eyes pop out.

"Go"

Chen Fan flicked his sleeve with a calm look and he shot out an azure palm against the Grand Fire Palm.

The azure palm was a few feet long and was like an ant before the Grand Fire Palm.

"Crack!"

The Grand Fire Palm suddenly exploded and shattered into pieces like a glass hit by a hammer. After that, the azure palm kept moving forward viciously towards Overlord Fury.

"Damn it!"

Overlord Fury was enraged; he immediately sent out several prayer beads.

There was a "King Kong Garbha Dharma Spell" in each of the beads that could withstand an attack of an Earth Level Deity. However, they were all crushed by the azure palm. In the end, Overlord Fury took out a diamond bead with hesitation and shot it at the palm.

"Om mane padme hum!"

An old monk appeared in the air, sitting cross-legged.

The old monk was repeating his mantra and his hand clashed against the azure palm, which caused an explosion in the air and both of them disappeared.

"That's the 'Mantra Diamond Bead' Elephant God Master gave me. It can withstand attacks from an Earth Level Deity for three days, but Chen Beixuan destroyed it at once. How powerful is he?"

Overlord Fury was sad and terrified.

Then, Cold Moon Fairy's Icy Divine Light and Elder Qijue's Mieqing Finger also arrived.

Chen Fan opened his mouth.

"Poof."

He sucked in the Icy Divine Light which could freeze souls and everything within a hundred feet. Cold Moon Fairy was totally dumbfounded.

Chen Fan let the three phantoms hit him.

Three black swirls then appeared in the air, and when the phantoms clashed against the swirls, they were swallowed immediately. The Sky-Swallowing Divine Power of the Kun Peng wasn't only good for attacking, but also for defending.

"Go to hell!"

Chen Fan raised his finger, immediately tapping Elder Qijue's forehead, as if it had gone beyond time.

"Impossible..."

Elder Qijue couldn't believe it at all.

Three Earth Level Deities together should have been able to crush everything in the mortal world. Why was he the one who died? He didn't understand why Chen Fan's attack went faster than his.

Even though Chen Fan couldn't use the Divine Power that controlled time completely, just a hint of its energy was already beyond Elder Qijue's imagination.

"Poof!"

The brightness in Elder Qijue's eyes immediately disappeared and his entire body exploded into blood mist. Even his Divine Soul was unable to escape in time and was destroyed by Chen Fan's finger!

Everyone went silent!

Even those Spirit Beasts and Ye Qincang stopped fighting and looked over.

Cold Moon Fairy and the others were also dumbfounded.

That was Elder Qijue! A powerful Earth Level Deity that had been a dominator in the Realm of Kunxu for centuries. He was difficult to kill even for a mid-stage Connate Being.

Such an experienced Earth Level Deity couldn't withstand the attacks of Chen Fan's fingers?

Was he really a human?

"Luckily, I ran away fast enough. Otherwise, I might have been the one who died," the Ancient Fire Ape thought as it hid far away.

Qian Yexue was also stunned. Chen Fan was much stronger than he used to be when he fought with the Blood Ancestor. During that battle, the Blood Ancestor could still fight back even though he was defeated in the end, unlike this time. Chen Fan killed Elder Qijue as effortlessly as slaughtering a chicken, and nobody dared to say a word after that.

"Yexue... Do you really believe... this man... is someone from the mortal world?" Cold Moon Fairy asked.

Qian Yexue remained silent.

She didn't know what to say anymore. As for the Spirit Beasts, they quickly gathered and stared at Chen Fan. They could sense that Chen Fan posed a more terrifying threat than Earth Level Deity Leixing.

"Brother Lei, I'm afraid we've encountered a formidable enemy," Changhe Sword Immortal said seriously as he slowly pulled out his sword.

"Hm?"

After breaking Chen Fan's shield.

Earth Level Deity Leixing saw this sight and was startled, but he then said with confidence, "Brother Changhe, stall him for three minutes and I'll go and take the Thunder Fruits."

"Three minutes. No problem!"

Changhe Sword Immortal pulled out the sword on his back.

The Sword Qi surged to the sky and cleared the clouds above him, showing the array of the Deity Burial Valley.

This leader of the Azure Mystic Sect was letting out all his energy.

His chilly, horrific Sword Qi made Cold Moon Fairy and the others fall back.

"This is the power of a mid-stage Earth Level Deity. I'm indeed much weaker than he is. No wonder Changhe Sword Immortal can split a river and slaughter a dragon!"

Cold Moon Fairy was frightened.

The Spirit Beasts had already moved aside to watch the battle between Chen Fan and those from the Realm of Kunxu.

"Senior Chen, I'll deal with him. Go get the Thunder Fruits."

Ye Qincang came up, drenched in blood.

He was the weakest warrior among the others and had been severely injured when he was besieged by the Spirit Beasts.

Chen Fan laughed and said, "It's alright. I can defeat him in just one second, let alone three minutes."

"How arrogant!" Changhe Sword Immortal said with cold eyes. His Sword Qi surged; some sword marks appeared in the sky as if it were split.

"Let's see how you can defeat me in a second!"

He stepped forward and slashed with his sword.

"Whoosh!"

Beams of azure light shot across the sky and went towards Chen Fan in all directions.

All-direction Mieqing Sword Art!

It was one of the three sword arts of the Azure Mystic Sect and was as powerful as Xuan Luo's invisible Sword Qi.

Once Changhe Sword Immortal slashed with his sword, a flash of light swept across the sky. It seemed to have split the world and the Sword Qi spread through more than a hundred feet.

Everyone was terrified.

Chen Fan cracked a smile and punched.

"One punch is enough to defeat you!"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 676: Killing Leixing!

"Splatter."

When the Changhe Sword Immortal slashed with his sword, a river appeared between the two.

The others could even hear the sound of water, which was the sound of waves formed by endless Sword Qi. Each of them was strong enough to cut through metal.

This slash could make Changhe Sword Immortal the top warrior in the world. He was indeed the leader of the Azure Mystic Sect!

"Boom!"

Chen Fan remained calm as he punched back.

Every move he made was incredibly powerful; he could smash everything without using any Divine Powers or secret arts.

"Bang!"

If Changhe Sword Immortal's Sword Qi was like a running river, Chen Fan's punch would be a tsunami! There seemed to be an enormous wave in the air.

The terrifying Essence Qi gathered and formed a wave.

Everyone was staring at the magnificent True Essence. The entire sky was covered with violent black waves as if it were a boundless sea.

Changhe Sword Immortal and Cold Moon Fairy were both stunned.

"Why is his True Essence so frightening? It's like an ocean!" everyone thought.

Chen Fan was too powerful. His punch seemed to have shattered the sky and the area of several hundred feet around him was enveloped in his energy.

The ground around the area cracked; all the rocks and trees were smashed and everyone else was pushed a thousand meters away.

"Form!"

Changhe Sword Immortal formed a ten-feet azure sword with his Sword Qi.

To tackle Chen Fan and his earth-shattering energy, Changhe Sword Immortal had to use his trump card. He then turned into a beam of light and merged with the azure sword.

"Merging the body and the sword! Controlling with Primordial Essence!"

It was the top sword art of the Azure Mystic Sect.

Lin Shuming had once produced a slash at the Earth Deity level with sixty years of Sword Qi, but he still couldn't compare to Changhe Sword Immortal.

"All directions, destroy!"

Crack!

Changhe Sword Immortal combined his Soul Energy with the Sword Qi. The azure blade aura then swiftly flashed through the black waves towards Chen Fan like a thunderbolt.

The All-direction Mieqing Sword Art was about attacking without leaving a trace.

Rumor said that Changhe Sword Immortal had once fought with a dragon and nobody noticed the dragon was dead until its head fell. Changhe Sword Immortal's attack was too fast. The onlookers could only see a flash of light.

This light seemed to have split countless black waves in half.

"Piece of cake."

Chen Fan looked expressionless.

The Earth Level Deities of the Realm of Kunxu could never imagine how powerful it would be when he attacked with his Sky-Swallowing True Essence.

"Gather!"

Chen Fan swayed his fist.

The black waves immediately came from all directions and formed a giant swirl. It spinned at a very high speed with a terrifying swallowing force. Each turn it made peeled off a layer of Sword Qi from the azure sword.

Once, twice... It spinned a thousand times per second!

Only several feet of the ten-feet azure sword were left.

"Oh no!"

Changhe Sword Immortal was anxious.

He had never seen a kind of True Essence that could absorb someone else's energy. "So, he can directly refine me if he wants? Where did he learn such a technique?"

But he didn't know.

The swallowing ability of the Kun Peng was a peerless Divine Power which could be used to destroy the world and dominate the universe!

"Bang!"

Then, Chen Fan's fist struck the azure blade aura.

Time seemed to have stopped.

Countless Spirit Beasts and Earth Level Deities widened their eyes and watched carefully. This battle would determine the owner of the Thunder Fruit Tree and the success or failure of the expedition.

"I guess Changhe Sword Immortal won't lose, will he?" Qian Yexue thought.

She still had faith in Changhe Sword Immortal a minute before, but not anymore after Chen Fan killed Elder Qijue.

"Crack."

While everyone was watching with shock.

The azure blade aura started to crack bit by bit, starting from the tip. One inch, two inches, three inches... In the end, it exploded and turned into light dots, exposing Changhe Sword Immortal.

Chen Fan immediately punched Changhe Sword Immortal's famous Divine Sword, "Kunwu."

Then, the face of Changhe Sword Immortal gradually turned pale.

"Woowoo!"

The Kunwu Sword let out a cry and the superior-grade Spirit Sword suddenly cracked. Chen Fan's fist, which was surrounded by an azure aura, punched Changhe Sword Immortal's chest.

"Pfft!"

Changhe Sword Immortal spurted out blood and was pushed a thousand feet backwards, clashing against the mountain nearby. He went through the entire mountain and created a burst of smoke.

Just a punch!

The Spirit Sword broke and the Sword Immortal was defeated!

This time, no one said a word.

Cold Moon Fairy, the Thunder Leopard and the White Snake were all dumbfounded. Who would have thought that Chen Fan could kill Changhe Sword Immortal with just a punch?

"Incredible! He's incredible!"

The Ancient Fire Ape widened its eyes and was pleased.

And Qian Yexue was completely terrified.

Chen Fan's attack not only undermined her confidence, but also lowered her self-esteem and pride.

Not even Changhe Sword Immortal could defeat Chen Fan... who else could? Although Earth Level Deity Leixing was powerful, he didn't surpass Changhe Sword Immortal by much.

This was the first time Qian Yexue felt regretful.

"Brother Changhe, I've used a secret art to increase my speed. I would only need twenty and a half minutes. After that, I'll teach this mortal kid a lesson!"

Earth Level Deity Leixing burst into laughter.

The nine golden lightning dragons in his hand turned into chains and wrapped around the black mountain, trying to lift it up. When he turned around contently, everyone else was looking at him with fright and Chen Fan was the only one left at the center.

"Where's Brother Changhe?" Earth Level Deity Leixing wondered.

He glanced over and saw two shiny broken pieces of the azure sword on the ground.

"That's Changhe's 'Kunwu,' one of the top three Divine Swords of the Azure Mystic Sect, a superior-grade Spirit Artifact. Throughout history, cultivators who had their swords broken would also die. So, has Changhe lost in a blink...?"

The heart of Earth Level Deity Leixing fell.

"You once said you'd exterminate my sect and take my Treasure Tree. What should I do with you?" Chen Fan flicked his fingers indifferently.

Earth Level Deity Leixing blanched and sneered.

"I don't know how you defeated Brother Changhe, but I certainly have my trump card. I've never been afraid of anyone else, other than the Sect Masters.

"If you agree to make peace with me, I'll share the Thunder Fruit Tree with you and we'll never talk about what you did to Tian Mingzi ever again. Otherwise, don't blame me for killing you!"

Earth Level Deity Leixing was an experienced Overlord after all. He might be trying to make peace, but his attitude was still firm and provocative.

His status in the Realm of Kunxu was much higher than that of Changhe Sword Immortal and he was the most superior person right after the sects. He had mastered different Divine Powers and secret arts, and even some of the weaker Masters couldn't compare to him.

"Go to hell!"

Chen Fan ignored his proposal. He simply raised his hand and attacked.

"Boom!"

A ten feet azure palm smacked down like an indestructible mountain.

"Let me show you the secret art I use to dominate the Realm of Kunxu, kid!" Earth Level Deity Leixing shouted.

He shook his hands and two golden lightning dragons sped across the sky with terrifying destructive power! Demon Divine Thunder was the top Thunder Art of the Heavenly Thunder Sect.

The golden lightning was so powerful that even Spirit Artifacts would be unable to block it.

And yet, Chen Fan's attack was also horrific. He had entered the Connate Level, and his body, True Essence and Divine Soul had merged into one. So, this palm carried not only the Sky-Swallowing True Essence, but also the power of the initial-success Divine Body.

"Swish!"

The giant azure palm ran over the lightning dragon.

The golden Demon Divine Thunder then hit the giant azure palm like a raindrop falling on a bronze bell; it wasn't able to destroy the palm at all.

Under such a powerful attack, Earth Level Deity Leixing also started to muster his full strength.

"Whoosh!"

Two thunder wings appeared on his back, which were apparently Tian Mingzi's Wind Thunder Wings. Two whirlwinds were created when Earth Level Deity Leixing flapped the wings.

Then, a crack like a thunderbolt appeared on his forehead.

A golden light ray shot out from the crack with an earth-shattering energy. It was dense and speedy like a laser cannon, and had gone beyond twenty times the speed of sound.

"It's the top Divine Power of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, Heavenly Thunder Eyes!" someone exclaimed.

Demon Divine Thunder, Wind Thunder Wings, Heavenly Thunder Eyes!

Earth Level Deity Leixing exhibited three Divine Powers at once. Normally, a cultivator could only have one Divine Power, but he had three. He was indeed one of the top warriors in the Realm of Kunxu.

But it wasn't the end. Earth Level Deity Leixing then waved his hand.

A long, black blade aura, formed with countless purple thunderbolts, appeared in the sky. It became a forty feet long lightning dragon and was hard enough to split a mountain.

"Purple Electric Thunder Slash!"

The top cultivation art of the Heavenly Thunder Sect.

Earth Level Deity Leixing was already able to run wild in the Realm of Kunxu with it, not to mention how much stronger he would be having three other Divine Powers.

And yet, Chen Fan wasn't scared at all and he attacked again. Those Divine Powers and secret arts didn't seem anything to him.

"Bang!"

The azure giant palm smacked down as if it were indestructible.

In a blink, the thunder wings cracked, the light ray shattered and the purple blade broke. Chen Fan's palm then smacked Earth Level Deity Leixing directly, knocking him down. He fell to the ground; a ten-feet palm mark was created right after.

"Boom!"

It stirred up a cloud of dust and the earth shook. Even the Deity Burial Valley seemed to be a bit overwhelmed and a thousand-meter gap appeared on the ground!

Everyone was dumbfounded as if they had seen a ghost.

Earth Level Deity Leixing... had been defeated?

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 677: Under Siege

"That's Earth Level Deity Leixing..."

After a while, Overlord Fury mumbled.

Earth Level Deity Leixing was basically one of the strongest cultivators in the Realm of Kunxu, other than the Sect Masters and some elders. He was a mid-stage Connate Being and had mastered all sorts of Divine Powers and Thunder Arts.

Such a powerful being was smashed by Chen Fan?

"Not even the Sect Master of the Azure Mystic Sect or the Heavenly Thunder Sect can possibly defeat Earth Level Deity Leixing with one attack!" Cold Moon Fairy said seriously.

Although there might be a few times difference in the power of a mid-stage and a peak-stage Connate Being, Earth Level Deity Leixing was extraordinarily powerful. Even some weaker peak-stage Connate Cultivators were no match for him; it shouldn't be this easy to defeat him.

"Bang!"

As expected, a thunderous sound came and someone surrounded by a purple aura shot to the sky. It was Earth Level Deity Leixing.

He looked pale and was covered in blood. His black and red robe was even torn.

But he didn't care at all. He looked at Chen Fan expressionlessly.

"An Overlord like you, who already has such powerful True Essence right after becoming an Earth Level Deity, is a peerless talent unseen in a thousand years. If you join the Heavenly Thunder Sect, I can assure you that you'll be appointed the next Sect Master and we'll be even. A century later, you'll be dominating the Realm of Kunxu."

He spoke as the Deputy Sect Master of the Heavenly Thunder Sect.

Cold Moon Fairy and Overlord Fury were both stunned.

The Heavenly Thunder Sect was a major sect in Kunxu and had a history of thousands of years. Their Sect Master was even more superior than any President on Earth.

At this moment, they were willing to appoint Chen Fan as the future Sect Master, showing the great courage and magnanimity of Earth Level Deity Leixing.

He was indeed the dominator of Kunxu!

Qian Yexue looked over anxiously.

It would be the best if Chen Fan could make peace with them. After all, even if he defeated Earth Level Deity Leixing, there were many more Earth Level Deities and also the superior Sect Masters in the Realm of Kunxu. Could he defeat the entire realm?

Chen Fan flicked his fingers and said calmly, "The Heavenly Thunder Sect is nothing to me! You must pay for what you said."

"When you reach my level and live long enough, you'll understand that family and friends are going to die at some point. So, why bother?"

Earth Level Deity Leixing frowned and didn't continue.

"But if you've made a decision, I'll have no choice but to kill you for the sake of my sect!"

Chen Fan stepped forward and shouted viciously, "Come on!"

Earth Level Deity Leixing thought he had made the best offer, but he didn't know that family was the most important thing to Chen Fan! Whoever offended them had to die, even the major sect of Kunxu.

"Blade!" Earth Level Deity Leixing shouted.

A purple thunderbolt rose from his body and a four feet seven inches long black blade was formed. The blade looked ordinary but it was surrounded by flashes of lightning.

"Purple Thunder Blade!"

"The first Ancestral Master of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, Lord Heavenly Curse, made this blade with iron in Kunxu and the energy of the Thunder God. I heard that purple thunderbolts struck for ten days after the blade was complete," Qian Yexue explained.

The power of the Thunder Blade was earth-shattering. Once it appeared, the air shook, the sky was covered with thunderclouds and lightning struck continuously, as if it were the end of the world.

"This is one of the top treasures of the Heavenly Thunder Sect. Our Sect Master allowed me to bring it to the mortal world only because of the Deity Burial Valley. Today, I'll kill you here with this blade!"

Earth Level Deity Leixing gripped the blade handle firmly and his energy surged to an unbelievable level.

"Quasi-Spirit Treasure?"

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.

His attack carried all of his power and could have killed ten Earth Level Deities. Just then, he finally realized that this Dharma Artifact was the reason Earth Level Deity Leixing survived it.

"Even though a Quasi-Spirit Treasure isn't as powerful as a Spirit Treasure, it lacks only a spirit. Whoever has this treasure can kill a Connate Being. No wonder you have no shame at all. Unfortunately, I'm your opponent."

Chen Fan cracked a smile.

Only Golden Core Cultivators could make Spirit Treasures, like the complete Five Elements Thunder. Quasi-Spirit Treasures weren't much weaker than Spirit Treasures. Chen Fan's Mercury Armor and God-killing Spear were also Quasi-Spirit Treasures.

"Don't jump to conclusions!"

Earth Level Deity Leixing was enraged.

His hair was fluttering like a bunch of black snakes dancing in the air. His black blade turned into a ten feet long purple lightning dragon which created some crackling sounds. The sky was enveloped in an outrageous energy.

The Purple Thunder Blade was extremely manic and it seemed that it wanted to fly out of Earth Level Deity Leixing's hand for Chen Fan's blood.

"Swish!"

Then, Changhe Sword Immortal also came.

The talisman on his head was burning violently and a powerful energy came down from the talisman into his body, making him look like a peerless Sword Master.

"It's the Incarnate Sword Talisman from the Sect Master of the Azure Mystic Sect. Changhe Sword Immortal can now borrow his power for a minute," Qian Yexue yelled.

A Quasi-Spirit Treasure and an Incarnate Talisman.

Facing such a powerful enemy, the two Overlords immediately played their trump cards.

Then, two beams of light shot across the sky. One of them was a corpse letting out Death Qi and the other was a Spirit Beast surrounded by black flames that looked like a Kylin.

"The Zombie King of the Deity Burial Ground and the Black Kylin of Black Fire Valley," the Thunder Leopard said.

Those two guests were the most powerful Overlords in the Deity Burial Valley and were much stronger than the Thunder Leopard and the Fire Ape.

"The Zombie King was transformed from the corpse of a Sky Immortal thousands of years ago. His body is hard as steel and his battling power is endless. On the other hand, the Black Kylin is said to have the blood of a true Kylin and is extremely vicious. These two are truly the Overlords of the Deity Burial Valley!" the Red Tiger yelled.

Suddenly, Cold Moon Fairy shouted with her twinkling eyes, "Spirit Beasts of Deity Burial Valley, our prime objective right now is to kill Chen Beixuan! As long as he's alive, none of us can get the Thunder Fruits and our lives might even be at risk!"

Hearing what Cold Moon Fairy said, the Spirit Beasts were stirred.

They had seen how invincible Chen Fan was. Nobody could defeat him in a one-on-one battle.

The Black Kylin, who had the Soul Energy of some Spirit Beasts, then grunted and fired at Chen Fan with its black flame. "Whoever touches the Thunder Fruit Tree dies!"

"Bang!"

The Zombie King stepped forward and let out his frightful Death Qi.

All the plants and creatures around died after contacting the grey Death Qi. It was the terrifying Death Qi he kept over the last thousands of years and was enough to make a Sky Immortal rot!

Those Spirit Beasts were clever. They knew the most powerful person there was Chen Fan and they could only settle the scores with those from the Realm of Kunxu after he was gone.

"Roar!"

The Thunder Leopard, the Red Tiger and the others immediately followed the two Beast Kings.

The entire Deity Burial Valley was filled with viciousness and these powerful beings gathered a thousand meters around Chen Fan. Every attack they made was as powerful as Lin Shuming's slash and carried all kinds of Divine Powers. Even the Sect Master of the Azure Mystic Sect would die under this onslaught.

"You're too arrogant, Chen Beixuan. This wouldn't have happened if you listened to Earth Level Deity Leixing."

Qian Yexue fell back a thousand feet and looked at Chen Fan, while heaving a sigh.

With the four top mid-stage Connate Overlords together with two Earth Level Deities and six Spirit Beasts attacking at the same time, even the most powerful warrior in the Realm of Kunxu would have no chance of resisting.

"Senior Chen!"

Ye Qincang's eyes popped out.

He tried to rush up there but the Ancient Fire Ape stopped him.

"Talented but too haughty. He can't escape death after all."

Changhe Sword Immortal heaved a sigh and seemed to have a glint of sympathy in his eyes. And yet, he immediately formed a three-feet azure light and threw it at Chen Fan.

The azure light seemed to have split the sky like a flying sword of a Sword Immortal.

And Earth Level Deity Leixing also stepped forward and slashed with his Purple Thunder Blade.

"Boom!"

The only thing left in the sky was an enraged lightning dragon, which was dozens feet long, and it sped across the sky towards Chen Fan.

In a blink, Chen Fan was in unprecedented desperation and he stood there startled.

Such a terrifying energy was really devastating!

Ye Qincang couldn't help but to close his eyes.

"Boom!"

Countless attacks hit Chen Fan and the world seemed to be enveloped in a horrific energy that could easily crush an aircraft carrier.

The energy even ran through him and clashed on the ground.

A giant bottomless hole appeared and the array deep inside seemed to be glittering.

"Is he dead?" someone yelled.

Sieged by so many Overlords, even a real God would die, not to mention Chen Fan! Everyone looked over with excitement and saw an unbelievable sight.

"Whoosh!"

After the dust lifted, they saw an azure cocoon floating above the pit.

There was a strange beast in the cocoon. The beast was ten feet long and it suddenly opened its eyes with a terror inducing look.

The Kun Peng Dharma Form of the Twelve Sky Art Paintings.

It finally appeared!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

678 All Swallowed!

The Kun Peng Dharma Form was the first change of the Sky-Swallowing Painting.

It had one-tenth of the power of the real Kun Peng, which was already terrifying and was beyond the imagination of those from the Realm of Kunxu.

Once the Kun Peng appeared, it controlled all the Essence Qi within dozens of miles which formed a magnificent sea of Essence Qi around it.

"Impossible!"

The Earth Level Deities and Spirit Beasts couldn't believe their eyes.

Chen Fan survived such a powerful attack. What was his body made of? Was it comparable to a Spirit Treasure? And what was this weird bird? Why did Chen Fan turn into a bird?

Only Qian Yexue remembered what happened when Chen Fan entered the Connate Level.

"What's that?"

Cold Moon Fairy was frightened.

This was the first time she had seen a human turning into a beast, which was like a dominator on top of the food chain.

The Black Kylin, the Thunder Leopard and the Red Tiger were all trembling.

"Do you know how powerful I am?"

Chen Fan finally looked up.

There was a glint of viciousness in his eyes, and it seemed that he wanted to destroy everything and dominate the world.

This was the power of the Kun Peng! Its body and wings were sending out beams of azure golden light as if they were made of gold. Many black swirls gathered around it which initiated its power to the maximum.

"I'll show you what real Divine Power is!"

Chen Fan spread his arms like an eagle spreading its wings.

"Boom!"

The Divine Beast flapped its wings.

It created a storm with its incredible power! All Dharma Spells or Divine Powers were as vulnerable as ants before such an invincible energy.

"Kill!"

The Black Kylin suddenly became vicious.

It opened its mouth and let out a black flame to burn Chen Fan.

It was the Kylin Fire passed down from the Black Kylin's family. Although it had only a small fraction of the real Kylin Fire, it was comparable to Chen Fan's Li Fire Golden Eyes.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The Thunder Leopard, the Red Tiger and the White Snake were all anxious; they summoned their Divine Powers to the maximum level.

White lightning shone in the air, lightning struck and fire burnt. With so many Spirit Beasts and Earth Level Deities attacking together, even the air seemed to have cracked. The sea of Essence Qi was boiling and everything within a thousand meters was completely destroyed.

With much strong energy surging, even Earth Level Deity Leixing and the Zombie King had to pull out all the stops!

"Boom!"

Then, Chen Fan moved.

He gently flapped his wings and the Kun Peng Dharma Form immediately broke the sonic barrier.

Eight times, nine times, ten times!

Chen Fan reached ten times the speed of sound! He went beyond dimensions and nobody could see him with their eyes.

Ten times the speed of sound, which was three kilometers per second!

In a blink, Chen Fan flashed a hundred feet.

"Swish."

His sharp wings slashed like a Divine Sword, and both the Thunder Leopard and the Red Tiger suddenly let out earth-shattering roars.

Their bodies had been split in half!

The Spirit Beast Bodies, which could withstand the attacks from a superior-grade Spirit Artifact, were as vulnerable as tofu before Chen Fan's wings.

"Kill him!" the Black Kylin yelled in rage.

His black flames then turned into a whirl of fire and went towards Chen Fan, trying to burn him into ashes. However, Chen Fan had already transformed to the Kun Peng Dharma Form and mastered absolute speed.

"Whoosh."

Chen Fan spread his wings again and instantly came behind Overlord Fury.

"Protect!"

Overlord Fury was indeed an experienced Earth Level Deity. He immediately shot out twelve beads carved with Garbha Enchantments which could withstand an attack of twelve Earth Level Deities!

But Chen Fan was extremely powerful at the moment. Even a peak-stage Connate Being would fall short in front of him!

"Crack!"

The golden shield with twelve Sanskrit Dharma Curses cracked and split like a rag cut by a pair of scissors.

Overlord Fury smiled wryly and a small cut appeared between his eyebrows.

The cut then started to crack from his eyebrows down to his nose, chin and chest. In the end, his body was split in half!

The Earth Level Deity of Mount Thunder had been slashed into two pieces by Chen Fan!

"How dare you!"

Earth Level Deity Leixing and the others were all terrified.

Their attacks didn't work on Chen Fan at all. If they went on like this, all the Earth Level Deities and Spirit Beasts, except the four Overlords, would be killed by Chen Fan.

"Run!"

The White Snake and the Golden Eagle were about to escape!

However, Chen Fan was too speedy. Ten times the speed of sound was totally beyond people's imagination. A blurry white mark appeared in the sky and the air seemed to have burst apart.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

In a second.

Two more Spirit Beasts had been split in half. Chen Fan's wings were like a sharp Divine Blade that could slash metal and crack the sky!

"Go to hell!"

Earth Level Deity Leixing finally found the opportunity to attack.

The purple lightning struck and turned into a ten-feet lightning dragon.

"Clang!"

Chen Fan used his left wing and blocked Earth Level Deity Leixing's attack directly. His shiny azure wings clashed against the Purple Thunder Blade, creating the sound like that of metals hitting each other.

The Purple Thunder Blade rebounded instead of breaking Chen Fan's wings. The violent vibration of the blade caused an unmatched energy that made him spurt out blood; he was knocked away like a shooting star.

"He's too powerful. Run!"

After seeing this, the Ancient Fire Ape was completely terrified and it immediately escaped.

Cold Moon Fairy and the last two Spirit Beasts were also frightened and wanted to run away.

"You think you can escape from me?"

Chen Fan flapped his wings again.

"Whoosh!"

He flashed to Cold Moon Fairy with an unbeatable energy, creating a white mark in the sky. Cold Moon Fairy screamed and shot out an Icy Divine Light before Chen Fan smashed her together with her Protection Dharma Artifact and Divine Soul.

"Aunt!" Qian Yexue yelled.

Meanwhile, they were in the heat of the battle.

After Chen Fan killed the last two Spirit Beasts, the Black Kylin became more vicious and its body was burning, while the Zombie King stirred up the Death Qi which then swept across all directions. On the other hand, the Changhe Sword Immortal attacked with his flying sword and Earth Level Deity Leixing slashed with his Purple Thunder Blade.

The four mid-stage Connate Overlords gave their utmost!

And yet, their attacks were only giving Chen Fan a tickle. His initial-success Divine Body was already powerful and together with the Divine Body of the Kun Peng, even Spirit Treasures would be unable to deal with him.

As for the Black Kylin Fire and Blade Qi, Chen Fan had already swallowed them as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The air shook.

Chen Fan immediately fought with them and they clashed for eight times in a row. Even though one of his enemies couldn't resist his power and fell back after every attack, there were four of them and someone else would fill the position right away.

"Boom!"

The five of them swept across the area like a thunderstorm, and all mountains, valleys and forests were shattered.

"You think my Sky-Swallowing Painting is only capable of doing this?"

Chen Fan grunted indifferently after knocking the Zombie King away.

The wonder of the Kun Peng Dharma Form was beyond people's imagination. Chen Fan had only used the power of his body and the four Overlords had already found it hard to keep up.

"Swallow!"

Chen Fan stood in the air and opened his mouth. A giant black swirl then appeared.

This time, Chen Fan was finally showing the world the real Divine Power of the Kun Peng. Even though the Sky-Swallowing Divine Power wasn't meant for battling, it could be used to resist any Dharma Spells and Divine Powers.

"Oh no, fall back!"

Seeing the black swirl, Earth Level Deity Leixing was terrified.

But it was too late. The Black Kylin didn't stop in time and was sucked in by the black hole. It struggled and let out black flames, but it was no use in front of the Sky-Swallowing Divine Power.

"Whoosh."

Everyone was shocked.

Chen Fan swallowed the descendant of the Kylin which had cultivated for almost a thousand years. Once the giant Black Kylin entered Chen Fan's stomach, it turned into Spirit Qi and made his level surge.

"This is the correct way of using the Swallowing Divine Power. Who's next?"

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and glanced at the other three.

"Run!"

Even the vicious Earth Level Deity Leixing fell back, but who could get away from the Kun Peng?

After a flick of fingers, the Zombie King was swallowed by Chen Fan. The Death Qi then turned into boiling True Essence that filled Chen Fan's body.

After three flicks, Changhe Sword Immortal was swallowed together with his sword.

After ten flicks, Earth Level Deity Leixing couldn't take it anymore. He dropped his blade and was swallowed by Chen Fan, becoming an endless source of True Essence.

In just a while...

Eight Spirit Beasts and four Earth Level Deities had been annihilated.

Chen Fan defeated the entire coalition of the Deity Burial Valley and the Realm of Kunxu.

Only Ye Qincang and Qian Yexue were left, standing at the side dumbfounded.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

679 Fierce

"They're all dead."

Qian Yexue stood there in shock and with fright on her face.

Earth Level Deity Leixing was a dominator in Kunxu and he had the "Purple Thunder Blade" of the Heavenly Thunder Sect; Changhe Sword Immortal borrowed thirty percent of the power from the Sect Master of the Azure Mystic Sect; the Zombie King was transformed from the corpse of an ancient Sword Immortal, and the Black Kylin had the blood of a Divine Beast...

These Connate Overlords were top cultivators in the Realm of Kunxu, close to the Sect Masters and elders. And yet, they were all swallowed by Chen Fan, let alone the six Spirit Beasts and the others like Cold Moon Fairy.

The expedition from Kunxu was annihilated!

"Is he human or the reincarnation of a monster?"

Qian Yexue looked at Chen Fan in terror.

"Patter, patter."

The azure aura shrank and the ten feet long Kun Peng gradually turned into countless light dots, retreating into Chen Fan's body and Divine Soul. In the end, Chen Fan appeared with black hair and black eyes, wearing a white outfit.

"Phew."

Chen Fan took a deep breath and restrained his energy.

Even though the Kun Peng's Divine Power could swallow everything, he wasn't the real Kun Peng after all. Swallowing the four mid-stage Connate Cultivators had exceeded his boundary. Meanwhile, the Swallowing True Essence was trying to digest such a massive influx of energy in Chen Fan's body.

"My True Essence could only grow one percent after swallowing these people. It's way too inefficient."

Chen Fan frowned.

The Swallowing Divine Power was useful but it wasn't omnipotent. When a man ate a cow, would he gain its powers too?

That was impossible.

After Chen Fan absorbed the Spirit Qi of the four mid-stage Connate Beings, most of it would be filtered out; only a small amount of energy was useful for Chen Fan's cultivation.

"I'm not the real Kun Peng, so I can't take all kinds of energy. In order for a cultivator to rise to the top, the most important thing is devotion, which is the reason why I could dominate the universe in my previous life," Chen Fan said, looking determined.

"But one good thing about the Swallowing Divine Power is that it can extract bloodline power."

Crack!

A black flame suddenly came out from the True Essence. It was the Kylin Fire from the Black Kylin.

"The Kylin Fire is a well-known Divine Power across the universe and is as powerful as the Sky-Swallowing Divine Power of the Kun Peng. And yet, the little amount of blood from this Black Kylin is already enough for me."

Swish!

The black flame went into Chen Fan's eyes.

Then it started merging with the golden flames, gradually turning into two-color flames. The flames flickered, carrying a destructive energy.

"The Li Fire Golden Eyes can hold all kinds of fire in the world. There was once a Dao Reunion Perfected Immortal who merged 7865 types of Divine Flames. Once let out, their power could destroy a world or melt a planet. I wonder when I can achieve such a Divine Power. Looks like I'll have to swallow some gifted Spirit Beasts and Divine Beasts," Chen Fan thought as he came down from the sky.

Ye Qincang flew towards him and said respectfully, "Senior Chen."

Qian Yexue also moved closer with her pale face.

Chen Fan really astonished Ye Qincang. Until this moment, he finally realized that Chen Fan had reached a much higher level than his.

"I guess Senior Chen was a Golden Core or Nascent Soul Cultivator in his last life," Ye Qincang pondered and said.

"Senior, the Ancient Fire Ape escaped."

"Haha, I've put a restriction spell in his body. Does it really think it can run away?" Chen Fan sneered and sent out five beams of light from his hand.

After a while.

A howl came.

An azure light ball flew from afar. The Ancient Fire Ape was inside with five azure chains wound around its body.

The Ancient Fire Ape knelt and begged Chen Fan, "Please don't kill me. Please! I'll never run away again!"

And yet, Chen Fan didn't care about it at all; he let Ye Qincang deal with it. If he wasn't depending on the Fire Ape to find the Gate of Heaven and to get information about the Deity Burial Valley, he would have already smacked it to death.

"We need to pick the Thunder Fruits now."

Chen Fan turned around, and looked at the golden tree and the three fruits on it.

This time, Chen Fan let out his Divine Power without interruption.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

Rays of azure light shot out from his hand, turning into chains that wrapped around the black mountain. Each of them was as thick as a water bucket and was as hard as if made of gold.

Chen Fan grabbed with his hand and yelled, "Rise!"

Endless energy came out from his body and organs, and his body let out a thunderous sound as if a hundred atomic bombs had exploded. The terrifying True Essence made his robe and hair flutter.

"Crack."

He lifted the entire Essence Magnet Mountain with one hand.

Even though the Essence Magnet Mountain was much lighter than a normal mountain, this still astonished the two next to him.

Chen Fan stomped his foot and shouted, "Borrowing the power of the world!"

The Essence Qi from dozens of miles then formed a hundred feet giant hand and gripped the black mountain, lifting it up. Chen Fan held the mountain with one hand and cast spells with another to refine it right there.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Many golden talismans went into the black mountain.

Then, it gradually shrank to only several meters tall and Chen Fan placed it inside the Blade Strengthening Gourd.

"This... Senior Chen?"

Ye Qincang was dumbfounded.

"Thunder Fruits only grow on the Essence Magnet Mountain, which is a natural treasure. You'll be able to refine it if you know some treasure-controlling techniques," Chen Fan explained.

He was thrilled.

The most important thing in the Deity Burial Valley wasn't the Thunder Fruits but the Essence Magnet Mountain.

Such a natural treasure was the best material for making "Spirit Treasures" and Chen Fan might be able to create one if he added it to his "Five Thunder Seal." By then, he would have nothing to fear even if the Sect Masters in the Realm of Kunxu paid a visit.

"Brother Ye, the Thunder Fruits aren't ripe yet. I'll give you one when they are ready," Chen Fan said.

"Thank you, Senior Chen, but you're the one who defeated the enemies from the Realm of Kunxu, protecting China and everyone else. I'm only here to assist you. How can I take the Thunder Fruit?" Ye Qincang said seriously.

"I've already decided," Chen Fan said firmly.

This time, Ye Qincang risked his life to stop the enemies for him and the North Mystic Celestial Lord always returned a favor.

"...Alright."

Ye Qincang bowed.

After that, they flew to the Gate of Heaven under the lead of the Ancient Fire Ape. Even though the Deity Burial Valley had many Spirit Beasts, monsters, dimension gaps and deadly arrays.

Those surviving Spirit Beasts dared not to show up and fight with Chen Fan again. Some beasts that stood in their way were smacked to death.

After three hours, they arrived at the Gate of Heaven.

It still looked majestic and the stone platform was simple and elegant. Between the towering stone pillars was a light door which was moving violently like the surface of a lake in a thunderstorm.

"What's going on? Are the other cultivators coming through?"

Ye Qincang was terrified.

They had just gone through a battle and even Chen Fan could only exhibit half of his power. If the enemies came again from the Realm of Kunxu, what could they do?

Especially this time, those who came must be the experienced peak-stage Connate Cultivators or even the Sect Masters of the major sects, who were way more powerful than Earth Level Deity Leixing.

"That's unlikely. There seems to be... something wrong with the gate."

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.

He could see that the Gate of Heaven was only a passage connected to another small world. However, the passage was really unstable; it seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

"Maybe Earth Level Deity Leixing and the others forced their way through and interfered with the operation of the Gate of Heaven."

Chen Fan rubbed his chin.

The Blood Ancestor said the Gate of Heaven was fragile and it didn't allow for too many Earth Level Deities to pass through at once. Yan Jingchao had also said that it would only open at least four months later.

And yet, Earth Level Deity Leixing and the others broke through the Gate of Heaven forcefully with a Space Treasure, and even sent five Earth Level Deities in one go, including mid-stage Connate Beings like himself and Changhe Sword Immortal.

Apparently, that had totally exceeded the limit of the Gate of Heaven.

After hearing Chen Fan's explanation, Ye Qincang was excited. "So, nobody can come to our world again?"

"At least not for the moment. Unless all the Earth Level Deities enter the Golden Core or Nascent Soul Level, none of them will be able to come through the Gate of Heaven in a couple years. However, the gate will be completely stable after that and it may never shut again..." Chen Fan said as he shook his head.

"That's enough! We can prepare ourselves in these three years and we'll show the Earth Level Deities of the Realm of Kunxu the power of modern technology," Ye Qincang yelled happily.

But Qian Yexue looked gloomy.

Even Chen Fan frowned. If the Gate of Heaven was unstable, it meant that he couldn't go to the Realm of Kunxu and look for the Path of Heaven, either!

Chen Fan shook his head and said, "Alright, let's get out of here. Those waiting outside must be really worried by now."

He knew they would cause a great furor after stepping out of the Deity Burial Valley.

680 Dominating the World

While Chen Fan was battling inside the Deity Burial Valley, the outside world was also stirred.

For China and the Chinese Martial Arts Community, Chen Fan and Ye Qincang was their hope. They could only rely on the two of them to stop the Earth Level Deities of the Realm of Kunxu before the defensive front was built.

"How many Earth Level Deities have come from the Realm of Kunxu? Can Heavenly Ye and Heavenly Chen deal with them?" someone expressed his doubts on the Chinese Martial Arts Forum.

"Heavenly Chen defeated the Blood Ancestor and is as powerful as three Earth Level Deities. Together with Heavenly Ye, several Earth Level Deities shouldn't be a problem," Guo Xiaomang replied confidently.

She had become Chen Fan's follower long before and she defended him every day at the forum. Her ID name "Xiao Mang" was very well-known.

"The Blood Ancestor has already become weak after living for a thousand years. Besides, none of us know how many Earth Level Deities came from the Realm of Kunxu. No matter how strong Chen Beixuan is, he can't fight with seven or eight of them," someone said.

"According to our information, the Gate of Heaven isn't open yet, so only a couple of them can come through. Those two Heavenly Beings should be able to deal with them effortlessly. Don't worry," Little Red Sparrow assured everyone else.

Someone recognized Red Sparrow and asked immediately, "Red Sparrow, do you have any first-hand intel from Kunlun? We're so anxious!"

"We're also as anxious as you are, but please believe in the two Heavenly Beings. On the other hand, our 9th and 18th division at the Deity Burial Valley are prepared to fight; all the missile bases in the country are also ready to attack and all the fighter aircrafts are circling the sky. Even if something happens to Heavenly Chen, China has enough power to protect everyone," Red Sparrow answered calmly.

Most people at the forum were Martial Artists who had a deep understanding of China's power.

It was the second largest country in the world, right after the United States. If the Earth Level Deities really offended China, they would launch dozens of hydrogen bombs toward the Deity Burial Valley and all of the enemies would die.

However, people on the underground forums in foreign countries were mostly gloating.

"Chen Beixuan and Ye Qincang killed the Blood Ancestor and offended many countries. Now, they finally got what they deserve."

A Japanese samurai said gloatingly, "I heard that there are dozens of Earth Level Deities in the Realm of Kunxu! Even five of them can tear Chen Beixuan apart."

"What if they don't go back after killing Chen Beixuan? How can we resist so many Earth Level Deities?" another person said.

"Are you mad? The mortal world is good but the realm up there is much better. Those Deities and Entities see our world as deserts and swamps. Will you leave your mansion to live in the desert or a forest?" an experienced Overlord explained.

All the historical sects on Earth knew how the world was changing, and that the Spirit Qi was dissipating. They also understood why the Entities and Earth Level Deities left the Earth, so they weren't worried about that at all.

As for requesting Chen Fan to go to the Realm of Kunxu and apologize, that was only an excuse to intimidate him.

A friar of the Christian Church said, "According to the ancient books, the Realm of Kunxu is the place where the Eastern Deities live. There are many historical sects and more than a hundred Earth Level Deities. Even though they have declined after thousands of years, their numbers are way higher than ours."

Someone recognized the friar, who was the former Cardinal and a hidden Immortal State Overlord.

"So, Chen Beixuan will die?"

Many were excited.

The western countries, Japan and Thailand were all Chen Fan's enemies and they wanted him to die. Over the last few years, he had been running wild across the world, killing countless Immortal State Warriors and offending many people.

Someone called "Teddy Lance" said on the CIA's secret forum, "If Chen Beixuan dies, I'll invite everyone present to a ten-day stay in Hawaii for free!"

Many of them knew Teddy Lance was an important figure from the Lance family of the United States. He was responsible for managing the matters about the Dark World and the underground organizations. He was in command of hundreds of armed mercenaries and was the most superior leader in the New York area.

A Japanese tycoon also commented, "I'll take you there to stay for a month!"

"Six months!" a prince of the Thai Royal family followed.

Chen Fan had offended too many people. Once he was in danger, the entire CIA secret forum was thrilled but more of them sneered.

"Since Chen Beixuan became a cultivator, he has never lost once and has defeated countless people. This time, he might shock the world again like he used to. By then, the North Qiong Sect will deal with everyone who is cheering on the forum right now," Black and White Demon Hunter said.

Everyone then realized.

Even if Chen Fan died, the North Qiong Sect, which had four cultivators at or above the Immortal State and was the most powerful organization in the Dark World, would still be there!

"What are you afraid of? The Christian Church is still here. We should wait for them to step in. Besides, how would the United States, England and France let Chen Beixuan go after what he did to them before?" the Thai Prince said.

The King of Gong Tau, Daxin, was the guardian of Thailand but Chen Fan had smashed him to death at the Dragon Hall. That was why the Thai Royal family's passionate hatred for Chen Fan was indescribable.

"Let's see. This battle will determine the future of the world. If Chen Beixuan wins, he'll be the hero of the Earth and mankind. If he dies, we'll have to fight with the enemies of the Realm of Kunxu!" the Observer said.

The entire forum went silent.

Everyone was waiting patiently and paying attention to Kunlun. Those who supported Chen Fan looked forward to seeing him win, while those against him hoped he would die.

In the mansion on North Mountain.

Wang Zhongguo stood by the window and looked at Yan Jin.

"Father, there's no news coming yet. You've stood there for a day. Come sit down and eat something," Wang Keqin came and said.

For an ordinary family, the Realm of Kunxu, Earth Level Deities and Heavenly Beings were like legends. And yet, as one of the five major families in Yan Jin, the Wang family was still well-informed.

"Keqin, I'm regretting it," Wang Zhongguo said.

"I regret that I never realized Chen Fan was such a talent. I regret that I schemed against them when they came to the Wang family. I regret that I wasn't sane enough and led the Wang family to this situation," Wang Zhongguo continued as Wang Keqin had a puzzled look.

"Father, who would have seen his talent? We were all wrong. Nobody would have thought that the bastard could become such a superior Deity," Wang Keqin said with a wry smile.

"If Chen Fan comes out alive, we should go to apologize to Xiaoyun," Wang Zhongguo said, looking as if he were several years older.

His body was slightly bent, something that had never happened before.

"But father, what about what happened to Chen?" Wang Keqin said anxiously.

He could never forget that Chen Fan killed Wang Chen in front of them and broke off the relationship between the two families. That was his son, the heir he was most proud of.

"If he can make it out of Kunlun alive, it will mean that no one in the world can ever touch him again!" Wang Zhongguo said slowly.

Wang Keqin was startled; he didn't say another word.

Other than the Wang family, similar conversations were also held in the Xiao, the Han and the Qin families.

Even though Chen Fan was the top warrior in the world, he wasn't invincible for these major families. The nuclear weapons in England, France and the United States, including the super weapons that they were secretly developing, could threaten or deal with Chen Fan easily. The power of the superpowers was unimaginable.

Rumors said that some secret military base in China was finding a way to kill Earth Level Deities with nuclear weapons.

But if Chen Fan came out alive after defeating the Deities of the Realm of Kunxu, he would deserve the goodwill of China and the world! He would be the hero of mankind! Killing such a figure would offend the entire Chinese Martial Arts Community and half the planet.

Even the superpowers would have to yield to him.

All the North Qiong Sect members were also praying quietly at the Sword Palace.

"Don't worry, Master is invincible. He will never lose," Hua Yunfeng said.

Wang Xiaoyun, An Ya and Fang Qiong hadn't even had a sip of water and were all waiting silently. After all, the Realm of Kunxu was a legendary realm and was full of Deities.

Xuan Luo and Tian Mingzi were already powerful, not to mention their Masters and Ancestral Masters.

"We know so little about the Realm of Kunxu and the Deity Burial Valley. Qian Yexue has never told us anything in the last few months she has been with us. If it wasn't for Master, I would have already tortured her to death."

Yukishiro Sa grunted.

She had always disliked Qian Yexue because of her beauty.

"We'll only be more worried if we know too much. As Qian Yexue said, there are thousands of Earth Level Deities in the Realm of Kunxu. What can we do when dozens of them come? We have to fight for sure."

Xie Yan shook his head.

The Realm of Kunxu was still like a mystery to them. Nobody could know for sure whether what Yan Jingchao and Xuan Luo said was right.

"Let's wait and see."

Wang Xiaoyun lowered her head and prayed.

The North Qiong Sect, Dragon Hall, the Hong Sect, the Chinese Martial Arts Community, the Japanese and the Korean Kendo Communities, many underground forces, the superpowers, the top families and the consortiums, everyone was focused, waiting patiently for the result of the earth-shattering battle.

July 5th, 2012.

Chen Fan, Ye Qincang and the others came out of the Deity Burial Valley.

Chen Fan defeated the Deities of Kunxu and shut the Gate of Heaven all by himself! Once the news came out, the entire planet, including the superpowers, were speechless.

He dominated the world!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

681 Couldn"t be Provoked

"Seriously?"

The records of the Christian Church or any other historical sects mentioned one fact.

The Realm of Kunxu was unbeatable! Some said that even the descendants of the Eastern Sages lived there and it was a pure land of Deities.

But Chen Fan defeated the cultivators from that realm and even shut the Gate of Heaven?

"I heard that five Earth Level Deities came from the Realm of Kunxu and two of them are Overlords and influential figures there. However, Chen Beixuan killed them all and their bodies are nowhere to be found," someone revealed.

Everyone else was terrified.

Five Earth Level Deities?

There might not even be five Earth Level Deities on Earth, and even if there were, they would have already been on their last legs. So, how could people not be shocked after Chen Fan slaughtered so many Earth Level Deities?

"From now on, the Japanese Martial Arts Community will follow the lead of China and will never offend them again," the Japanese Kendo Master, Erika, commanded with the support of the Divine Master of the Ise Grand Shrine.

The leaders of the Brahmin in India, the God of the Gold Sect in South America, the Southeast Asian Buddhism and the Vodun in Africa all gave such an order.

Chen Fan was too terrifying. He killed five Earth Level Deities! That was even more astonishing than smashing the Blood Ancestor. In the meantime, the Japanese tycoon and the Thai Prince on the CIA secret forum were both frightened and were thinking of ways to make it up to Chen Fan.

Only Teddy Lance was still being stubborn, but he dared not to show up after all.

In an old monastery of the Christian Church.

"The Realm of Kunxu is the most powerful secret realm in the legends but they also lost. Looks like we've underestimated Chen Beixuan's power," an elder in a linen robe coughed and said.

The blonde adjudicator who was wearing heavy armor frowned and said, "The Gate of Heaven isn't quite stable yet so there shouldn't be too many Overlords coming from the Realm of Kunxu. However, Chen Beixuan's power is indeed out of our imagination. He even crushed the Blood Ancestor."

"The Blood Ancestor is dead and our mission is completed. Then, should we..."

"The Blood Ancestor isn't just a person. It's a name that refers to a group of evil beings deep in the Blood Sea," a calm voice came.

The adjudicator looked up and saw a barefoot young man with fair skin and blue eyes walking towards them. He was only sixteen years old, but his energy was as vast as the sky and there was an aura around him, as if he were the incarnation of an angel.

"My Lord."

The elder and the adjudicator got up and bowed to the barefoot young man.

"The Blood Ancestor might have died but the war isn't over! We can't provoke Chen Beixuan no matter what. I see planets falling and Entities howling on him. He's the representative of Death," the barefoot young man said.

The other two, who knew the identity of the young man, weren't surprised at all.

"My Lord, why do you need to worry about Chen Beixuan?" the adjudicator asked.

The barefoot young man closed his eyes and replied, "I see father in him!"

The elder and the adjudicator were both startled and speechless.

Such a conversation was also held in many historical sects.

They were the only ones who knew how terrifying the Realm of Kunxu was. So, it was extremely scary that Chen Fan had defeated the Deities from Kunxu! That was a legendary world full of Deities!

"Change the plan. List Chen Beixuan as a first-level danger together with Russia and China," the Pentagon ordered.

From then on, Chen Fan officially became the biggest enemy of the United States. They would do everything they could and use all the nuclear weapons they had to destroy him.

All the large countries in the world took corresponding actions. Russia also sent Oleg to Chen Fan immediately to explain to him about their past misunderstanding.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan had left Kunlun and returned to the Sword Palace.

"I got quite a lot of things this time!"

After talking to his parents and the rest of his family, Chen Fan went into the secret room to see his loot.

He had swallowed four Earth Level Deities who were all mid-stage Connate Cultivators in one go; the True Essence inside his body was still trying to digest such a great amount of energy.

If he were the real Kun Peng, he wouldn't have to worry about it. There was limitless space in the Kun Peng's body and it could even digest the energy of an entire galaxy. But Chen Fan was still only a human being after all.

"The Divine Power of the Kun Peng is great but I should try not to use it. I'll be in trouble if enemies come while my body is digesting the energy. I should swallow more Spirit Beasts like the Black Kylin next time I see them. Getting their special energies is indeed useful to me."

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.

A black and a golden flame burned in his eyes.

"Whoosh!"

Two flames then came out from his eyes and intertwined into a two-color flame.

The Kylin Fire merged with the golden flame was much more powerful than it used to be. Even a mid-grade Spirit Artifact had been immediately burnt to ashes, meaning that it could also kill a normal Earth Level Deity.

"I got many weapons as well."

Chen Fan took out some treasures from the Blade Strengthening Gourd.

A cold superior-grade Spirit Robe, a diamond carved with mantras, a red ancient sword and a black blade surrounded by flashes of purple lightning.

The first three were superior-grade Spirit Artifacts from the Earth Level Deities, and the last one was from Earth Level Deity Leixing.

"The Purple Thunder Blade is a Quasi-Spirit Treasure!"

Chen Fan stretched out his hand and gripped the blade.

"Patter, patter."

A bolt of purple lightning came out from the black blade and it wrapped around Chen Fan's hand. Spirit Treasures had spirits and they chose their owners themselves. Those who weren't strong enough would be unable to use a Spirit Treasure. Even though the Purple Thunder Blade wasn't a Spirit Treasure, it was even more intractable.

"Hold!"

Chen Fan shouted and his palm let out an azure aura. An unmatched energy then forced all the lightning back to the blade and he gripped the blade handle firmly.

"Buzz."

The Purple Thunder Blade finally yielded.

"Crack."

Chen Fan slashed without using the slightest strength.

The purple Blade Qi flashed over ten feet and clashed against the wall. If it wasn't for the array of the Sword Palace and the countless talismans, it would have traveled for a hundred meters.

"It's indeed a Quasi-Spirit Treasure. Even an ordinary person can have the power of an Earth Level Deity."

Chen Fan was content.

Even for his current level, the Purple Thunder Blade was a Divine Weapon. It was powerful enough to split a mountain, a river or even an aircraft carrier!

"Quasi-Spirit Treasures are rare and even the Heavenly Thunder Sect only has a couple. Now that I have one in my possession, their Sect Master must be enraged."

Chen Fan cracked a smile.

He only had three Quasi-Spirit Treasures at the moment.

The Mercury Armor, the God-killing Spear and the Purple Thunder Blade. Even though the Five Thunder Seal was inferior to Spirit Treasures, it was a top superior-grade Spirit Artifact.

"I can defend myself with the Mercury Armor, attack from afar with the God-killing Spear, battle with the Purple Thunder Blade and turn the Five Thunder Seal into a Spirit Treasure. Then, I can defeat the entire Realm of Kunxu all by myself!"

Chen Fan was confident.

But the Gate of Heaven was too unstable, which made him struggle.

"It's really dangerous to pass through the Gate of Heaven at my level.

"Only Golden Core Cultivators can control the power of space. And yet, since the Blood Ancestor said his ancestors left the Earth through other paths, the Path of Heaven shouldn't be the only passage. There must be other passages in each major sect."

Chen Fan rubbed his chin.

"Besides, I haven't spent much time with my parents, An Ya and Xiao Qiong since I entered the Connate Level, and I haven't settled all the scores on the planet. I shouldn't leave so quickly," Chen Fan also thought about that.

Once he left the Earth, he would not return within the next decade.

If he didn't eliminate all the threats on Earth, make the North Qiong Sect thrive and give his parents powers to protect themselves, he would never leave.

"Well then, one thing at a time," Chen Fan decided, "I should first go to meet my old friends and see if they are doing well. Then, I'll visit all the major forces of the Earth and give them a warning. If they refuse to obey, I'll eliminate them. Lastly, I'll start searching for the Path of Heaven or force my way through the Gate of Heaven into the Realm of Kunxu.

"Right, what should I do with the three Thunder Fruits?"

Chen Fan frowned as he glanced at the shimmering Thunder Fruits on the golden tree.

Thunder Fruits were Treasure Medicines and only one was enough for a normal cultivator to enter the Connate Level.

However, humans didn't have thick skin and weren't as strong as the Spirit Beasts in the Deity Burial Valley after all. If a normal person took a Thunder Fruit without the protection of Divine Powers, the energy would put his life at risk.

"I'll give the first one to Ye Qincang to express my gratitude, and to establish a good relationship with China. After I leave the planet, my parents will be under their protection.

"The second one, I'll keep it for myself. The second painting of the Twelve Sky Art Paintings is a Thunder Divine Beast and the Thunder Fruit is just right for me.

"And the third one... Who should I give it to?" Chen Fan pondered.

It was a precious treasure that could be used to achieve the Connate Level.

The difference between Sages and mortals was the difference between Connate and Qi Refinement. It represented an extraordinary evolution and a transition between life levels.

Even if he gave the Thunder Fruit to one of his parents or to Xiao Qiong, they would still be no match for the Blood Ancestor and other experienced Earth Level Deities. And yet, he didn't feel quite right to give it to Hua Yunfeng or Xie Yan either, since they weren't really close.

While Chen Fan was struggling with choices...

Ye Qincang arrived with shocking news.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

682 Admiral of the Cang Dragon Uni

Ye Qincang was there to talk to Chen Fan about the Gate of Heaven.

"Yan Jingchao is dead and the Black Water Sect was annihilated. Xiao Wu and Zhang Ran are the only ones left. Although they're still grieving, they're willing to guard the Gate of Heaven," Ye Qincang said.

"Their master died because of me after all. When this ends, I'll invite them to the North Qiong Sect and teach them some real cultivation arts." Chen Fan nodded.

"Senior, is the Gate of Heaven really going to open again after three years?" Ye Qincang asked seriously.

"I'm not quite sure when it will become stable. I guess it will take at least a couple years, five years at most, but it will gradually settle after that. By then, we must be prepared to fight. We have to deal with this before I leave the planet," Chen Fan said calmly.

This was the first time he had told someone he was going to leave the Earth.

Ye Qincang knew about Chen Fan's past so he wasn't surprised at all. He nodded and said, "Kunlun decided to develop the Deity Burial Valley and the country has also accepted my proposal. This will be our top priority in the next three years."

Chen Fan considered it a logical move.

The United States could become a superpower and dominate the world because they had developed technology from the Mayan Temples.

There were countless secret treasures, bodies and books the ancient Sages had left at the Deity Burial Valley which were worth researching, let alone the monsters and beasts living there. However, no one could say for certain how many people would die in the process.

"The North Qiong Sect will also help Kunlun and I will leave the Ancient Fire Ape guarding the Deity Burial Valley. You can ask it to do anything if you want," Chen Fan said.

Since he was leaving the planet, he had to establish a good relationship with China.

"Thank you, Senior."

Ye Qincang bowed.

The Ancient Fire Ape was one of the most powerful Spirit Beasts at the Deity Burial Valley and was a Connate Overlord. With its support and knowledge of the area, China would be able to speed up the development of the valley.

Ye Qincang hesitated and said, "Senior, you closed the Gate of Heaven and protected China. Our country wants to appoint you as the Admiral of the Cang Dragon Unit to lead our soldiers. What do you think?"

"Huh?"

Chen Fan was startled.

In the end, Chen Fan accepted the title: Admiral of the Cang Dragon Unit.

Same as what he thought, China also wanted to build a good relationship with him. The title was in fact a promise to him that the country would protect the North Qiong Sect and his family even after he left the planet.

"The Cang Dragon Unit will be in your command from now on. As the Admiral, you have all the rights, including mobilizing troops and taking military aircrafts," Ye Qincang told Chen Fan before he left.

"Admiral! I can't believe our family has an Admiral!"

Chen Gexin was excited.

Wang Xiaoyun and An Ya were also happy.

Even though they had taken the superior-grade Spirit Pills and entered the Ethereal Enlightenment State, they were still thinking like mortals and were proud that Chen Fan had become an Admiral.

"We must go back and tell father about this. He'll be pleased," Chen Gexin decided.

When Chen Fan shut himself in, everyone else went into the Sword Palace so that the array could protect them from the Blood Ancestor and from those coming from the Gate of Heaven. Only Chen Huaian remained in Jin City.

"Hm, I haven't seen grandpa for a while."

Chen Fan nodded.

Soon, the Sword Palace was stirred.

It was a big deal for Chen Fan to go back to Jin City since he wasn't a nameless man anymore. He was Superpower Chen, Heavenly Chen, the most superior person in the world and the strongest Earth Level Deity. He had even saved China and mankind, and was appointed as the Admiral of the Cang Dragon Unit.

Yu Wenjin, A'Xiu and Yu Wenjin also wanted to go to Jin City with Chen Fan.

Since the crisis had been solved, Fang Qiong and An Ya had already been thinking about returning to Zhong Hai and dealing with the North Qiong Corp matters since long before.

"Xiao Jin, you should come with me and meet some old friends. The others should go back to Zhong Hai and Southeast Asia," Chen Fan said.

In the end, only Chen Fan and his family, Fang Qiong, Yu Wenjin and Qian Yexue were going to Jin City.

They took a military aircraft and flew all the way to Jin City. The Cang Dragon Unit had already gathered at Qin Chen Mountain and they were all excited when they saw Chen Fan.

"Chief!" the members of the Cang Dragon Unit shouted.

Chen Fan glanced at them.

Tank, Eagle-eyes and Rusty were all his former subordinates, and he had met Zhao Baofen in Wu Zhou. There was also one more person he was familiar with...

"Chu Minhui?"

Chen Fan looked at the brawny man with a startled face. Chu Minhui was strong like a mountain and he had apparently reached an extremely high level on the Cang Dragon Physical Conditioning Exercise. His body was definitely comparable to that of a Physique Refinement Grandmaster.

"Chief, Chu Minhui is the captain of the Cang Dragon Unit now. Captain Yue died in a recent battle," Tank said with a gloomy face.

Yue Jianqiu was also a friend of Chen Fan and he was a real soldier. Chen Fan had never thought he would die in a war.

"Chief, I will uphold the legacy of Captain Yue and dedicate my life to Cang Dragon and China," Chu Minhui shouted.

"Good!"

Chen Fan nodded.

He then looked around and said, "Now that I'm in charge of the Cang Dragon Unit, I can't stand aside anymore. Starting from today, the Cang Dragon Unit not only has to become the strongest among the Special Forces, but also in the Dark World and even the entire planet! You'll have to fight with the superpowers and the Realm of Kunxu, and to enter forbidden lands in the future. Do you have the courage to do so?"

Everyone went silent.

The Cang Dragon Unit was only an ordinary troop. The strongest among them, Chu Minhui, had only reached the level of Physique Refinement Grandmaster; none of them were strong enough to battle with the superpowers and the Realm of Kunxu.

"Till we die!" Chu Minhui yelled.

"Never fall back!" the others also shouted with determination.

The members of the Cang Dragon Unit were only a group of mortals but Chen Fan wanted to lead them to conquer the forbidden lands in the world, which was the completely supreme glory for them.

Then, Chen Fan and the others started their journey to Jin City.

"Vroom, vroom."

The military transport aircraft flew ten thousand meters in the sky and Chen Fan looked at the land through the window. That might be one of the last times he could watch the scenery of his country.

After staying in the mortal world for a period of time, he would have to leave the Earth to search for the Path of Heaven.

The Spirit Qi on Earth wasn't enough to support his cultivation, which was progressing really slowly at the moment.

"Before that, I must arrange and ensure my parents' future, giving them enough power to defend themselves. I also need to eliminate the threats of the Gate of Heaven and other forces," Chen Fan thought.

While An Ya, Wang Xiaoyun and the others were thrilled about having him back.

Fang Qiong seemed to have sensed something and she gently gripped Chen Fan's hand.

"Don't worry, Xiao Qiong."

Chen Fan gave her a comforting smile.

They soon arrived at Jin City.

It was the month of July. Summer reigned in Jin City.

There were many young girls wearing shorts or mini skirts on the streets and in the malls. Since it was the summer break, many college and high school students were hanging out with their friends.

Chen Fan and his family went to the mansion in East Mountain in a military vehicle.

"Xiao Fan is finally here. I heard that you made an astonishing achievement!"

Chen Huaian was wearing a white outfit while he practiced under the tree. Every move he made stirred up the leaves which were shattered by the energy.

"The Ethereal Enlightenment State?"

Chen Fan was astonished.

The last time he met Chen Huaian, the old man was still at the Foundation Establishment State and he had entered the Ethereal Enlightenment State just recently. Although this had something to do with the Spirit Water and the Spirit Dew he had left last time, Chen Huaian was pretty talented.

Wang Xiaoyun also relied on superior-grade Spirit Pills to enter the Ethereal Enlightenment State.

"Dad, the country even appointed Xiao Fan as the Admiral of the Cang Dragon Unit!" Chen Gexin couldn't restrain his excitement. For older generations like him, this title was more glorious than becoming an Earth Level Deity or a Heavenly Being.

"What?"

Chen Ning and Chen Guoguo were both startled.

"You are indeed our best warrior! I must gather the family and celebrate with Xiao Fan."

Chen Huaian burst into laughter.

Chen Fan was becoming something akin to a grand chancellor in the ancient times!

"Hm."

Chen Fan nodded.

He would have rejected them in the past, but since he was going to leave the planet, he couldn't decline after seeing the happy faces of his parents and his grandpa.

Gathering the family would take a couple days.

So, Chen Fan stayed at the mansion on East Mountain to spend some time with his sister, Chen Guoguo, and to lead the Cang Dragon Unit's practices. Even though he wouldn't pass down the real cultivation arts to the unit, some Physique Refinement Arts would be fine.

And Fang Qiong seemed to have sensed something, so she didn't go to Zhong Hai and stayed there with Chen Fan instead.

That day.

The sky was clear.

Chen Fan, Chen Huaian and Fang Qiong sat at the peak of East Mountain, drinking tea and chatting, while Qian Yexue was working as a servant. They all knew who she was, so they didn't mind her at all.

"Xiao Fan, there seems to be something in your mind these few days."

Chen Huaian was observant; he easily noticed that something was wrong with Chen Fan.

Fang Qiong also looked up with a worried face.

Chen Fan hesitated, then said as he put down the teacup, "Grandpa, Xiao Qiong, I... might be leaving the planet."

"What?"

The three of them were stunned.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

683 Another Connate Being

Leaving the Earth.

This idea had already been in Chen Fan's mind since he was reborn, but he had never talked about it.

He had only told Fang Qiong, Wang Xiaoyun and An Ya that he was a cultivator, but never the details about where he came from, and the others didn't force him, either. Only after becoming a Connate Being was he finally able to reveal a little bit.

Chen Huaian frowned and asked, "What do you mean by leaving the planet?"

Fang Qiong also widened her eyes and looked at Chen Fan. "Xiao Fan, are you going to the Realm of Kunxu? To the sun and moon? Space traveling?"

The two of them didn't know that there was a grand and boundless world outside the Earth where many cultivation planets and races existed. They didn't even know if aliens existed.

Qian Yexue looked slightly different.

She remembered that Chen Fan had asked her about cultivators and the Path of Heaven.

So, was he preparing to find the Path of Heaven and leave the planet as well?

"This is ridiculous. The cultivators who left in the ancient times are at least Sky Immortals, but he's only an Earth Level Deity. How can he go to the Path of Heaven? Besides, we're not even sure if it still exists after thousands of years.."

Qian Yexue sneered.

"Grandpa, Xiao Qiong, you know that I've already entered the Connate Level," Chen Fan said earnestly, "Even if I practice hard every day, my powers will only grow a little bit and it'll take a thousand years for me to become a Golden Core Cultivator. This planet is like a cage for me, I can't make any substantial progress here."

"Right."

Chen Huaian nodded.

He knew that the Spirit Qi in the Green Dragon Grand Array was completely different from that in the outside world. Fang Qiong also pondered.

"So, are you going to the Realm of Kunxu, Xiao Fan? I heard that there's a large amount of Spirit Qi, but the Gate of Heaven is shut right now," Fang Qiong said.

"The Spirit Qi in the Realm of Kunxu is also inferior when compared to a real cultivation world. Otherwise, the cultivators of the ancient times wouldn't have abandoned it," Chen Fan shook his head and said, "What I want to do is to find the Path of Heaven and go to a real cultivation planet. There will be an abundant supply of Spirit Qi and some complete cultivation arts. A world full of Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators has the best environment for me to grow!"

"A cultivation planet?"

This time, Qian Yexue and Fang Qiong were both dumbfounded.

"So, there are other livable planets aside from Earth? Are there cultivators too?" Fang Qiong's eyes popped out.

Qian Yexue was also shocked.

She thought the Realm of Kunxu was the most perfect world.

"Of course!"

Chen Fan got up with his hands behind his back and heaved a sigh.

"The universe is wide and boundless. There are trillions of planets and trillions of different lifeforms. Countless races have battled to rise to the top and the cultivation planets that exist there are countless. The Earth is only an uncultivated planet, an abandoned land at the edge of the universe."

He looked up to the sky and saw many familiar constellations.

"I wonder if my old friends are still waiting for me to go back so I can battle with them," Chen Fan asked himself.

Everyone else was stunned into silence.

If every planet in the universe had life and cultivators. How many living things were there? More than trillions?

Qian Yexue got up and said emotionally, "That's impossible. I've never heard about other planets. The Earth is the only planet that has life."

"If the Earth is the only planet, where did the cultivators of the ancient times go?" Chen Fan looked at her calmly.

Qian Yexue was speechless.

Nobody really knew where those cultivators went and even the Sect Masters of the major sects avoided talking about it.

"If there are other cultivation planets, then... are you from there?" Fang Qiong hesitated and asked.

Everyone around Chen Fan, including his parents, family, friends and disciples, all of them had the same question in their minds.

Chen Fan seemed to have become a Grand Master in one night, rising to the top of the world in five years after defeating many Transcendent State Warriors, Immortal State Warriors and Earth Level Deities.

And yet, they had never heard about his master and had never seen him practice since he was little.

"Yes and no."

Chen Fan smiled and caressed Fang Qiong's hair.

"Don't worry, Xiao Qiong, grandpa. My body wasn't taken by any old cultivator or alien. I am me, Chen Fan! Something happened which sent me back to make up for my regrets. There are a lot of things I can't explain to you right now, but I'll tell you everything someday..."

"Hm."

Fang Qiong nodded and her eyes were filled with faith.

Chen Huaian finished the tea and said, "I don't care what they say about you, but you're my grandson and the light of the Chen Family! Grandpa is always right about people."

"So, you're really leaving?" Fang Qiong asked.

Even though she was tough and had always managed the North Qiong Corp well when Chen Fan wasn't there, she felt like she was going to lose something after knowing Chen Fan was leaving the planet.

The universe was so vast. Who knew when Chen Fan would come back again?

"I have this idea but I'm not leaving yet. I must first take care of everything here, which will take at least six months."

Chen Fan smiled and comforted them. "Besides, I haven't dealt with the Gate of Heaven and there are still a lot of threats on Earth, including the Christian Church. So, how can I leave now?"

"Xiao Fan, are you leaving in a rocket?"

This idea suddenly came to Fang Qiong's mind.

"Haha!"

This time, Chen Huaian also burst into laughter.

"There used to be many races and cultivators on Earth in the ancient times. They left through the Path of Heaven, which is a Universe Teleport Array. As long as I can find and fix it, I'll be able to leave," Chen Fan smiled and explained.

"But I can come back anytime! I'll visit you every couple of years, and by the time I can travel across the universe myself, I'll come and pick you up."

He said this as if he were only going to study abroad.

Chen Huaian and Fang Qiong started to feel relieved.

Fang Qiong leaned on Chen Fan and said, "Phew, I was so worried that you wouldn't return!"

Qian Yexue sat there with her glittering eyes.

She felt that this revelation had completely changed her conception of the world.

"Chen Beixuan came from another world. No wonder his power is so unpredictable. Also, the Sky Immortals of the ancient times left with the Universe Teleport Array. So, is our world, including the Realm of Kunxu, really an abandoned land and a dead cultivation planet as Chen Beixuan said?"

Qian Yexue felt like her head was going to explode.

"Right, grandpa, let me show you something."

Chen Fan took out a fruit from the Blade Strengthening Gourd.

"A Thunder Fruit?" Qian Yexue said as she widened her eyes.

"This is a Thunder Fruit, a natural Treasure Medicine. A cultivator will be able to enter the Connate Level directly after eating it," Chen Fan explained.

"Enter the Connate Level directly?"

Fang Qiong and Chen Huaian gasped.

They certainly knew how terrifying Connate Beings were. Chen Fan, Ye Qincang and the Blood Ancestor were all powerful enough to turn the world upside down and could even live for five centuries.

"It might be difficult for a normal cultivator, but not with my help," Chen Fan said.

"I got a Thunder Fruit Tree in the Deity Burial Valley and there are three fruits. One for Ye Qincang to thank him for his help and to build a good relationship with China, and the other one is for myself. As for the last one, I want to give it to grandpa so that our family will have one more Connate Cultivator. Then I won't have to worry after I leave."

If Chen Huaian became a Connate Being.

The North Qiong Sect would be impregnable.

With the protection of a Connate Being and the array, even the United States or the Realm of Kunxu would be unable to break through the Sword Palace.

"No, you should give it to Fang Qiong, An Ya or Xiaoyun. I'm old. What would I do with that?" Chen Huaian shook his head while Qian Yexue was dumbfounded.

This was the first time she had seen someone reject a Treasure Medicine.

It was an opportunity to become an Earth Level Deity! Once he did, he could be a dominator even in the Realm of Kunxu and would be able to enjoy a longer life.

"Grandpa, this might seem to be a one in a million chance to you, but I'm confident that I can get such a Treasure Medicine anytime I want after five years. By then, all of you will be able to enter the Connate Level easily," Chen Fan said.

"I want to give it to you this time because you have the best state of mind and can quickly adapt to the Connate Level. It's hard for Xiao Qiong or Sister An to control the energy after they become Connate Cultivators. So, it's better for them to go step by step."

As for Hua Yunfeng and Xie Yan.

Chen Fan and Chen Huaian had never mentioned them. After all, they weren't members of the Chen Family and no one could guarantee their loyalty.

"Grandpa, Xiao Fan is right. You should take it," Fang Qiong also said.

"All right."

After a while, Chen Huaian finally nodded.

Then, Chen Fan started to set up an array and many talismans to cover the view on the mountain peak. Qian Yexue was astonished.

"They're mad.

"How can they eat the Thunder Fruit directly? They would need to spend three years collecting tons of herbs to make an elixir that could get rid of the Thunder Tribulation's power.

"Besides, giving it to a ninety-year-old man is such a waste. Even after he becomes an Earth Level Deity, he won't be able to go further."

But she didn't say it out loud.

Half an hour later, Chen Fan stood at the peak, while Chen Huaian was sitting cross-legged, eating the Thunder Fruit in front of Qian Yexue.

"I'll make you a Connate Being today!"

Chen Fan formed a Dharma Seal above Chen Huaian's head.

"Boom!"

A fierce energy surged out from Chen Huaian's body.

The entire sky was covered with thunderclouds and lightning struck continuously.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

684 Directly Becoming a Heavenly Being

Thunder Fruits were supreme Treasure Medicines.

They grew on the Essence Magnet Mountain and only bloomed every three centuries. Golden Core Cultivators would use them to make Treasure Pills.

And yet, Chen Fan had given one to a ninety-year-old man for him to enter the Connate Level directly.

"Bang!"

A lightning struck on East Mountain.

The array was initiated and countless clouds rolled above the mountain. A misty white dragon flew and howled in the air, and it had hair around its body which looked quite realistic.

"Dong, dong, dong."

Chen Huaian's sleeves bulged; he seemed to be in extreme pain.

Bolts of lightning exploded and his body was filled with terrifying Spirit Qi. If it weren't for Chen Fan's protection, the Spirit Qi would have blown him into pieces once he ate the Thunder Fruit.

"Earth Level Deities usually don't eat this kind of fruit without eliminating the power of the Thunder Tribulation with secret arts," Qian Yexue frowned and said, "Those beasts at the Deity Burial Valley have thick skin and powerful bodies. They only eat the Thunder Fruit when they are half a step away from becoming Earth Level Deities, and still, many of them die. Only a few of them can successfully transform and most are killed by the power of the Thunder Tribulation.

"Chen Beixuan, why don't you know about this?"

Hearing what she said, Fang Qiong immediately looked at Chen Huaian anxiously.

As expected, Chen Huaian's body suddenly shook and many thunderbolts exploded, making him bleed everywhere. This was because his body couldn't digest all the energy. There were also thunderbolts coming out from his ears, nose and mouth.

"Xiao Fan?" Fang Qiong yelled anxiously.

"He's all right," Chen Fan replied as he glanced at Qian Yexue, "To enter the Connate level from Qi Refinement is an important step to transform a human into a Deity. He must go through an enormous, terrifying change! How can he become a Connate Being without suffering?"

This was also the reason why Chen Fan chose Chen Huaian.

The old man had experienced all sorts of things in his entire life and he was tough. Fang Qiong, An Ya or Wang Xiaoyun might not be able to bear the pain.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, Chen Huaian's hands were blown into splashes of blood by the thunderbolts, exposing the bones. Then, other parts of his body also started to explode.

Arms, hands, shoulders, chest...

In the end, only his head and organs were left, while other muscles and veins exploded. And yet, Chen Huaian remained with his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to the pain.

A large amount of Dharmic Power surged out from the Dharma Seal above his head, protecting his Divine Soul.

"When I formed the Azure Thearch Longevity Body back then, I also experienced such a process, so I didn't feel the pain when I achieved the Connate Level. Ye Qincang was also the same. He achieved the Earth Level Deity Body beforehand when he went to the Deity Burial Valley, so he didn't have to go through this pain. However, grandpa is only a mortal and this is an indispensable step for becoming a Connate Being," Chen Fan thought as the Dharmic Power kept pouring down.

Chen Huaian's head was surrounded by an azure aura, as if it were an indestructible statue.

"The Thunder Fruit is a Thunder Treasure Fruit. Rather than using it to rebuild a body, I should directly mold it into a Thunder Spirit Body for grandpa," Chen Fan pondered as he immediately transmitted a spell to Chen Huaian with his Immortal Will.

Chen Huaian seemed to have received it.

"The Thunder King Body, a superior-grade Spirit Body! Once it's complete, it can create thunderstorms and control the power of lightning. There are nine Divine Powers to be initiated, including the Wind Thunder Wings and the Azure Lightning Eyes. It's a derivation of an ancient Thunder Divine Body."

The Thunder King Body was the best for Chen Huaian.

Even though it was only a superior-grade Spirit Body, it had nine Divine Powers. Once the Wind Thunder Wings were complete, he would be as powerful as Earth Level Deity Leixing and he could even cultivate the Thunder Divine Body after initiating the nine Divine Powers.

So, it was quite powerful among all the other Spirit Bodies.

"Form!" Chen Fan shouted.

"Patter, patter."

Countless beams of golden light shot out from Chen Huaian's bones and immediately turned into golden threads. These threads then formed muscles and the outline of a body in front of Fang Qiong and Qian Yexue.

"Swish."

The Spirit Qi of the world surged from all directions. They were just next to the Green Dragon Grand Array and the Spirit Qi inside was enough to push someone to the Connate Level.

"Whoosh."

The thunderclouds in the sky then formed the shape of a funnel and spinned swiftly above Chen Huaian.

The power of the Thunder Fruit and the Spirit Qi gradually formed a Spirit Body for Chen Huaian. In the end, his entire body was like gold, surrounded by a golden aura and countless flashes of lightning.

"Bang!"

The lightning dissipated.

A black-haired man seemingly in his thirties, who was robust like a bodybuilder, sat there with his legs crossed. Chen Fan, Chen Gexin and him were very much alike; he was apparently the younger version of Chen Huaian.

"He was born again!" Qian Yexue mumbled.

A cultivator had to risk his life to become an Earth Level Deity! There were many large sects that had thousands of years of history in the Realm of Kunxu but they only had a few Earth Level Deities. Even potential cultivators like herself couldn't guarantee that they could achieve that. Witnessing this transformation, she finally realized how hard it was to become an Earth Level Deity and was in awe of Chen Fan at the same time.

"Xiao Fan, has grandpa entered the Connate Level?"

Fang Qiong was surprised.

"Not yet. His Connate Spirit Body was just completed. Now he needs to break through the Gate of Connate and merge with his Soul Energy to become a Connate Being," Chen Fan said as he narrowed his eyes.

Those who ate the Thunder Fruits were mostly cultivators who had been stuck at the last step before breaking through the Gate of Connate for centuries, which even included many Mortal Deities and top beasts. They had gathered enough energy and experiences but they needed a stepping stone like the Thunder Fruits to help them complete the last step.

But to push an old Ethereal Enlightenment Cultivator into the Connate Level was ten times more difficult.

"Body, vitality, Immortal Will, merge! Open the Gate of Connate!"

Chen Fan flipped his palm and smacked the air.

"Boom!"

A myriad bolts of lightning came out from Chen Huaian's body.

Chen Fan turned those lightnings into True Essence, which filled Chen Huaian's body and organs. Then, Chen Huaian's Divine Soul also absorbed energy from the Thunder Fruit and transformed into a golden Divine Soul.

Under Chen Fan's control, everything started merging into one, becoming an Essence Core. This was originally the process used before entering the Golden Core Level. When all the energy gathered at one point, an "Immortal Divine Core" would be created.

"Bang!"

After that, the golden Divine Soul hopped out of his head with the power of the Thunder Tribulation around it and rays of light shone in all directions. At that moment, Chen Huaian felt a boundless sea of Essence Qi.

The power of the world was so vast that his soul got lost.

But with decades of experience, Chen Huaian soon got himself back together. A golden thunderbolt then shot from his head into the sky. The Spirit Qi within ten miles gathered and formed a cloud above him.

"He's really become an Earth Level Deity?"

Qian Yexue was stunned.

Chen Fan immediately cast several Dharma Spells to cover the surrounding sky view. Otherwise, the world would know that there was one more Connate Being in the North Qiong Sect, exposing their trump card.

"Whoosh!"

Chen Huaian knew that too, so he immediately retrieved his Divine Soul and cleared the clouds above him.

When he opened his eyes, they were both azure in color with two thunderbolts inside. They were apparently the Azure Lightning Eyes, which could paralyze any creature.

"Boom!"

Then, Chen Huaian got up and walked out of the cliff.

His white outfit was fluttering in the wind and he was standing in the air like a Deity.

What happened on East Mountain was kept between Chen Fan, Chen Huaian, Qian Yexue and Fang Qiong. It was the biggest secret of the North Qiong Sect! After Chen Huaian became a Connate Cultivator, he could protect the sect and Chen Fan could look for the Path of Heaven to leave the planet without any concerns.

"With grandpa and the support from China and Ye Qincang, I guess nothing can harm the North Qiong Sect, other than the Realm of Kunxu and several historical sects," Chen Fan thought.

Chen Huaian's talent was beyond Chen Fan's imagination. Once he entered the Connate Level, he had consecutively initiated three Divine Powers. Together with the Thunder King Body and the strong battling power, he could totally compare to an experienced Earth Level Deity.

Chen Fan found a Thunder Art, which was an art from a sect in the universe, for Chen Huaian to cultivate. Although it wasn't as powerful as a Divine Art or a Sacred Art, it matched with Chen Huaian's constitution.

"After becoming a Heavenly Being, I finally realize why Xiao Fan wants to leave the planet. This is indeed a giant cage and it's so hard to make further progress here! Don't worry, Xiao Fan. I'll take care of the family."

Chen Huaian's energy was getting stronger day by day.

He was indeed a talent and was even more suitable for Immortal Cultivation than Qian Yexue and Xuan Luo.

"All right."

Chen Fan nodded. He was planning to leave for the Path of Heaven after meeting his old friends and spending some extra time with his parents and Fang Qiong.

Then, Yu Wenjin suddenly came.

"Master, Lin Weiwei contacted me and said our high school classmates would like to have a gathering. Do you want to go?"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

685 Reunited with Old Friends

Lin Weiwei?

Chen Fan was shocked.

It had been like centuries since he last heard this name. She was one of his friends in Si Shui who studied with him; they parted when Chen Fan left for Chu Zhou City.

"How did you contact them?" Chen Fan wondered with a book in his hands.

"Weiwei and I are close. She's contacted me right away since I came back from Myanmar. They've always wanted to meet you," Yu Wenjin came and said gently. As she cultivated, she had become more and more pretty; she looked like a seventeen-year-old girl at the moment.

Chen Fan got up and said, "Right, I should meet them. It's been a long time."

In fact, those who attended the gathering were all Chen Fan's old friends, including Lin Weiwei, Yan Xiaobai, Xu Haoxuan, Wu Junjie and two other girls who were their girlfriends.

They met at the high-end restaurant in Jin City, the North Coast Restaurant.

The North Coast Restaurant was a riverside restaurant which overlooked the entire river. Diners could enjoy the gentle breeze and watch the boats pass by.

"Hey, you're finally here to see us!"

Seeing Chen Fan, his old friends were all excited and they gave him hugs one by one.

Lin Weiwei also went to hug Chen Fan. She looked exceptionally gorgeous that day in her skinny jeans and vest. Also, she tied up her hair and her body figure was especially outstanding.

"Where have you been? We thought you were missing." Lin Weiwei gave Chen Fan a punch.

Chen Fan looked up.

Yan Xiaobai was still chubby and had a beaming smile on his face.

Xu Haoxuan looked dignified and next to him was a fair girl of a tall stature, with LV products all over her body. Even though she was smiling, she didn't seem to be approachable.

Wu Junjie looked a bit troubled even though he was smiling.

Chen Fan smiled and said, "I've been busy working outside so I didn't go to Si Shui to see you. It's my fault. I'll drink first!"

He had been staying away from these friends on purpose the last few years, since he didn't want to drag them into his problems. After all, Chen Fan had too many enemies on Earth; he was so worried that he would destroy their calm lives.

"Haoxuan, is this whom you always talk about?" Xu Haoxuan's girlfriend glanced at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan remembered that Xu Haoxuan had entered the Huaqin University and married a rich girl whose father was a senior official of the Ministry. Since then, he rapidly climbed up the social ladder and became one of the world's top five hundred corporate executives.

"Xiao Fan, this is Hong Mi, my classmate. We just got engaged," Xu Haoxuan said.

Chen Fan nodded.

He had never heard of the Hong family in Yan Jin. Besides, Chen Fan didn't even care about the American President, let alone an insignificant girl.

The Hong family was only a middle-class family in Yan Jin and was much weaker than the Wang family and the Xiao family. On the other hand, Hong Mi had not met Chen Fan, either, so she wouldn't know this indifferent young man was Heavenly Chen from North Mountain.

They soon settled down.

Wu Junjie's girlfriend was a sweet, beautiful girl called Li Ying.

After a few glasses of wine, their gathering soon became lively.

Chen Fan asked everyone what they had been up to recently. Yan Xiaobai inherited the family's clothing business, got married and had a beautiful daughter, same as in his last life.

Xu Haoxuan was also the same. He got accepted to the Huaqin University, met Hong Mi and joined a foreign company after graduation. The company was called "Star World Corporation" which Chen Fan had never heard of before.

Wu Junjie had made a large amount of money with his father's power and became a tycoon. This dinner was also on him.

"By the way, you were also missing when Wenjin suddenly disappeared back then. We were really worried about you until we finally contacted Wenjin and found that she was with you. So, are you two..." Xu Haoxuan joked.

Hearing what he said, Wu Junjie's hand shook for a second.

Chen Fan saw it and heaved a sigh. It seemed that Wu Junjie still couldn't get over Yu Wenjin, but it was normal.

Even though Lin Weiwei, Hong Mi and Li Ying were all beautiful...

Yu Wenjin was extraordinarily gorgeous, like a Goddess when she sat there quietly. She had always been a beauty, but after she started cultivating, plus taking Spirit Pills and Spirit Dew, her skin became more beautiful, as if she were a fairy from a story, and she had garnered the attention of the world.

"Wenjin has been learning from me lately," Chen Fan answered calmly.

The others didn't understand what he said, but Wu Junjie did.

Everyone thought Chen Fan was only the son of the Deputy Governor of the province and a normal college student, who could command Han Tianshen of Tian He City and had a strong cousin.

Still, Wu Junjie was very active in the social circle of Jin City, so he certainly knew who Chen Fan really was.

Master Chen of Jiang Bei, son of the Chen family of Jin City, Major General of the Cang Dragon Unit...

Each one of them was astonishing. Besides, the incident where Chen Fan slaughtered the leaders of sixteen families in Jin City was still circulating secretly and had become a taboo in the city. However, this was all he knew.

"I'm glad Wenjin is with you. Here, Xiao Fan. Cheers!"

Wu Junjie got up and toasted Chen Fan.

Chen Fan understood and he raised his glass.

After this glass of wine, a huge burden seemed to have been lifted from Wu Junjie and he apparently became more relaxed. He soon livened up the gathering.

When Hong Mi went to the washroom and came back after a while, she looked a bit strange.

"What's wrong?" Lin Weiwei wondered.

Hong Mi hesitated and asked,"Haoxuan, I saw one of my brothers from my circle. He has been nice to me since I was young. Can you come to meet him with me?"

"If he's your brother, we should go and meet him. Why don't we all go to make a toast?" Xu Haoxuan smiled and said.

When Yan Xiaobai was about to get up, Hong Mi said, "My brother has a very high status in the circle but we've only met a few times and I don't even know if he remembers me. We're lucky enough to see him here in Jin City. With his help, you won't have to worry about your future."

Everyone went silent and Yan Xiaobai stood there, feeling embarrassed.

"From Yan Jin?" Wu Junjie asked.

Hong Mi nodded without saying a word.

They all knew Hong Mi's identity.

If she called him her brother, he had to be a Young Master of some major family whom they would never cross their paths with. So, going there to meet him for no reason would only humiliate themselves.

Xu Haoxuan also appeared to be reluctant.

Everyone was chatting; it would be weird if they suddenly went somewhere else. Still, he didn't want to let go of such a chance that might only happen once in a lifetime.

"It's alright, Haoxuan. You should go. It's a great opportunity," Lin Weiwei said.

Wu Junjie and Yan Xiaobai also tried to convince him.

In the end, Xu Haoxuan got up and left with Hong Mi.

After they left, Wu Junjie shook his head and said, "I don't know if marrying her is good for Haoxuan or not."

Everyone saw how domineering Hong Mi was; it had to be difficult for Xu Haoxuan.

Yan Xiaobai bottomed up a glass of wine and said, "You can't succeed without any support now. He just has to keep quiet!" Society had caused a deep resentment in this fat guy.

Lin Weiwei also nodded. "When I got accepted to military school and was about to be assigned to a military district, someone took my position. My Dad was so angry he couldn't sleep for three days."

Lin Weiwei came from a military family and she had been eager to join the army since she was little.

They were all in their mid-20s and had worked for several years after graduating from college, so all of them had grumbled about some things in their lives. After all, their families couldn't really compare to the real dominant families; they were only ordinary people.

Lin Weiwei's brother was a member of the cadre, Wu Junjie's father was a division chief and Yan Xiaobai's family owned a garment factory. However, none of them were influential in Jin City, not to mention Yan Jin.

Yu Wenjin looked at Chen Fan, seemingly asking for his opinion.

Chen Fan shook his head.

He could definitely help his friends, and if he agreed, Yu Wenjin could deal with everything for him. She was one of the disciples of the North Mystic Celestial Lord and even Kunlun had to be respectful to her.

"We shouldn't interfere in their normal lives. It might not be a good idea to drag them in," Chen Fan told Yu Wenjin with his Immortal Will.

Yu Wenjin nodded.

In less than a minute, Hong Mi and Xu Haoxuan came back and everyone could see that they were embarrassed, even though they tried to hide it.

After a while, Xu Haoxuan said with a wry smile, "We were wrong. They don't know us. They didn't even let us in."

Hong Mi remained silent.

The others immediately comforted them. This was something everyone had experienced. They thought the heavy hitters would know them but they were in fact nobodies to those people. So, all of them understood how Xu Haoxuan felt.

Being ignored was a severe blow to the self-esteem of an arrogant person.

"Who was that?" Chen Fan asked.

Xu Haoxuan glanced at Chen Fan and replied, "Xiao Xuan."

He didn't tell Chen Fan any details about Xiao Xuan's identity and background. He thought Chen Fan wouldn't be familiar with the social circle in Yan Jin and wouldn't even know about the Xiao family.

"Xiao Xuan?"

Chen Fan sneered.

Wu Junjie and Lin Weiwei were startled.

"Xiao Xuan, the Young Master of the Xiao Family of Yan Jin?"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 686 Settle a Score with a Glass of Wine

Chen Fan had once broken Xiao Xuan's limbs and thrown him off the East Mountain, but the Xiao family was certainly capable of curing him. Besides, Wu Junjie and Lin Weiwei wouldn't know much about Xiao Xuan due to their status.

Xiao Xuan was superior like a noble in their eyes.

"Junjie, who's Xiao Xuan?" Li Ying asked.

Wu Junjie then explained to her and she immediately turned pale.

As the leader of the five major families in Yan Jin, the Xiao family was incomparably powerful! Even though Wu Junjie and Lin Weiwei were quite significant in Si Shui, they were nobodies when it came to the Jiang Nan Province and even the entire China.

So, everyone understood after learning that it was Xiao Xuan.

Such a top master wasn't someone they could meet anytime, and not all people were qualified to raise a toast to him.

"Let's drink! Don't think about it," Wu Junjie said.

Even so, Xu Haoxuan was still enraged. He said they weren't even allowed to get in, so they couldn't see Xiao Xuan at all.

"Xiao Xuan is the Young Master of the Xiao family and the leading figure of the younger generation of Yan Jin. Why is he here at the North Coast Restaurant?" Lin Weiwei wondered.

Everyone looked at one another.

Xu Haoxuan then frowned and said with hesitation, "Those who stopped me were people from the Wei family of Jiang Bei. I saw Third Lord Wei through the gap between the doors. I heard that Old Lord Wei and Old Lord Xiao used to be friends and the two families have always been close. Looks like it's true."

The Wei family of Jiang Bei.

Chen Fan was immediately startled.

He still had a score to settle with the Wei family. When he died at the Warg Valley in Russia, the Wei family occupied the Yun Wu Spirit Water and worked with the Hong Sect, putting the Chen family in a tight spot.

"Xiao Fan, isn't the Wei family close to you?"

Lin Weiwei suddenly asked.

Chen Fan was known as Master Chen of Jiang Bei and he started off relying on the Wei family's power. So, many people, including Wu Junjie, had always thought that Master Chen had a close relationship with the Wei family.

"Xiao Fan is only a normal college student. How would he know the Wei family? Are you kidding me?"

Xu Haoxuan shook his head.

But Lin Weiwei suddenly went silent. She remembered the sight on Wu Mountain when Chen Fan made Han Tianshen beg for mercy and forced Tang Jianfen to fall back. Apparently, Chen Fan wasn't as ordinary as everyone else thought and it made sense he would know the Wei family.

Chen Fan picked up the glass and said, "I sure know the Wei family, and I've got some unfinished business with them."

If this only involved Xiao Xuan, he wouldn't do anything as he had settled the scores with the Xiao family anyway, but the Wei family was different. The North Mystic Celestial Lord had to make them pay for what they did.

Chen Fan got up and said, "Haoxuan, come with me. Let's go to drink a toast."

"Huh? To who?"

Xu Haoxuan was shocked.

"To the Wei family and Master Xiao." Chen Fan smiled.

Everyone was dumbfounded, only reacting after Chen Fan and Xu Haoxuan left.

"What is Haoxuan doing? Was he not embarrassed enough just then?"

Hong Mi started to lose her temper.

Lin Weiwei immediately comforted her and said, "Maybe Xiao Fan really knows the Wei family. If Haoxuan goes with him, he might be able to meet the Young Master of the Xiao family. Isn't that great?"

"Haha, even if he knows the Wei family, so what? They must be doing their best to entertain Xiao Xuan and to prevent anything from going wrong. You think the Wei family would let anyone disturb him?"

Hong Mi snickered.

Indeed.

Compared to the superior Xiao family, the Wei family was only influential around Jiang Bei. When Xiao Xuan arrived in Jiang Nan, it was like having a prince visiting, so the Wei family had to be cautious, and would never let anyone else get in.

Yan Xiaobai hesitated and asked, "Should we go and check them out?"

"Let's go!" Wu Junjie got up with an excited look.

He was the only one, other than Yu Wenjin, who knew a bit of Chen Fan's identity. However, he wasn't quite sure if the Major General of the Cang Dragon Unit was enough to frighten the Wei family. After all, their guest was Xiao Xuan, the most outstanding Young Master in Yan Jin.

The six of them went out of the room and kept up.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan and Xu Haoxuan were already at the door of the Wei family's room.

The best place at the North Coast Restaurant was the River Hall built above the river. Part of the floor was made of glass which showed the flowing water underneath. This was the place where the Wei family was entertaining Xiao Xuan, and there were two vicious bodyguards guarding the entrance.

"Xiao Fan, let's go back. It's not a big deal. We don't have to make such a fuss."

Xu Haoxuan was a bit regretful and he tried to convince Chen Fan.

"We have to do this today," Chen Fan said firmly.

When they arrived at the River Hall, one of the bodyguards frowned and said, "I told you the Wei family is meeting a VIP. Others are not allowed to enter..."

The bodyguard suddenly started trembling and he looked at Chen Fan with fright.

"A'Biao, it's been a while," Chen Fan said to the bodyguard.

"Master... Master Chen?"

The bodyguard was grinding his teeth.

This was A'Biao, the top fighter under the command of Zhou Tianhao of Chu Zhou City. After Chen Fan killed Zhou Tianhao, A'Biao started working for Third Lord Wei. Since the Wei family had invited an honorable guest that day, Third Lord Wei took him there to secure the meeting. He had never thought he would meet Chen Fan.

Thinking of how cruel Chen Fan was, A'Biao also knelt on his knees.

"If you're here, then Third Lord Wei must also be here. Great! I need to settle an account." Chen Fan smiled and entered the room. The other bodyguard also felt something was wrong so he didn't stop Chen Fan.

Everyone watched Chen Fan get in.

"Creak."

The door opened.

The room had a grand and elegant design, and was over a hundred square meters. A group of people were sitting at the table, chatting with glasses of wine. The young man who was sitting at the main seat was tall and handsome, but he seemed to be a bit gloomy.

"Master Xiao, it's our honor to have you here in Jiang Nan! I raise my glass on behalf of my old man."

Third Lord Wei raised his glass with a flush on his cheeks.

"Grandpa and Old Lord Wei have been good friends for decades. It's my duty to visit Old Lord Wei in his stead." Xiao Xuan picked up the glass and sipped the wine.

Old Lord Wei, who sat next to him, looked pleased.

Wei Ziqin offered a small smile, while the other senior members of the Wei family, including Wei Changsong, Wei Changqin, Wei Zifang and Wei Zipin, were smiling brightly.

They knew that other than meeting Old Lord Wei, the main purpose of Xiao Xuan's visit was to settle his marriage with Wei Ziqin.

Wei Ziqin had been close to Xiao Xuan since they were little, and ever since his engagement with Qin Yaner was screwed, the Xiao family had been trying to arrange another marriage for Xiao Xuan. Since Old Lord Wei had offered a proposal, Old Lord Qin immediately agreed and sent his grandson to visit.

Wei Changsong smiled and said, "We'll be a family after you marry Ziqin. You don't need to be so formal."

He was the leader of the Wei family's second generation and was the governor of the province, so even the Xiao family had to respect him.

While they were chatting happily, the door was suddenly pushed open. Wei Zipin, Third Lord Wei's son, frowned, then turned around and was about to scold the guards. "What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to let anyone disturb..."

He suddenly paused and stared at Chen Fan as if he were looking at a monster.

"Zipin, what's wrong?"

The others didn't notice at first. Third Lord Wei was drunk and he looked up with his bleary eyes. He didn't mind at all the first time he saw Chen Fan, but he then widened his eyes the next second and was terrified.

"Chen... Chen... Chen..."

Third Lord Wei tried to articulate and was drenched in sweat.

Then, the others immediately felt something was wrong; they turned around one after the other. After seeing Chen Fan, everyone, including Xiao Xuan, was startled. No one had thought that he would show up.

"Master Chen? Why are you here?" Wei Ziqin said with a surprised face.

"I'm here to make a toast and settle a score."

Chen Fan smiled and walked in with a glass of wine.

"Chatter."

Third Lord Wei was grinding his teeth and his legs were shaking.

"Hey, Xiao Fan! Come out! You can't go in there." Xu Haoxuan came in and was astonished by what he saw.

Chen Fan ignored him and said to Third Lord Wei, "I asked you to take care of the Yun Wu Spirit Water and offered to give you a ten percent profit. You could have earned one billion yuan by selling it. I had done everything I could for you and the Wei Family. And yet, you betrayed me while I was gone. You yielded to the Hong Sect and even took away the Yun Wu Spirit Water from me.

"Do you really think I'd just let you get away with it?"

Everything Chen Fan said hit Third Lord Wei's heart like a hammer. In the end, Third Lord Wei fell on the ground and couldn't even stand up.

Wei Changsong frowned and said with a bright smile, "Master Chen, it's been so many years. Why don't we sit down and talk?"

"Right, Master Chen! You helped me and Wanqin get married. We've always wanted to thank you," Wei Zifang said while his wife Yin Wanqin smiled. They could only get married because of Chen Fan.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "An eye for an eye! I've already returned your favor, and now, I'm getting what I deserve. Are you trying to stop me?"

All the Wei family members froze. Who didn't know how powerful Chen Fan was?

"Hah..."

Old Lord Wei heaved a sigh and got up. "Master Chen, our family failed you! Can you please spare Third Lord Wei for my sake?"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

687 An Eye for an Eye!

Wei Fu.

The leader of the Wei family of Jiang Bei.

When Chen Fan was reborn, Wei Fu was the first Internal Force Master he had met. He gave him elixirs, amended cultivation arts for him and cured his persistent disease. The Wei family also helped Chen Fan with his career and contacted the military district of Jin City for him in return.

Old Lord Wei even went to the annual meeting of the Chen family and supported Chen Fan.

He was definitely closer to Chen Fan than anyone else, and Chen Fan also wanted to return the Wei Family's favor. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spared Wei Zipin so many times, but this time was different.

"Old Lord Wei, do you know what Third Lord Wei did?" Chen Fan looked at Old Lord Wei.

Old Lord Wei blanched and wanted to speak, but he hesitated and finally heaved a sigh. "Third Lord Wei made a mistake and it was too late when I discovered it. I'm just hoping you can show him some mercy."

"If you knew about it, why didn't you stop him or ask him to make it up to me afterwards? Now you're begging for mercy?" Chen Fan said calmly.

Old Lord Wei turned pale and was speechless.

"Master Chen, Third Lord Wei doesn't deserve to die. The Wei family will try its best to give you what you want. Please let him go," Wei Changsong said.

"You can't give me what I want."

Wei Changsong immediately went silent.

He stared at Third Lord Wei and said expressionlessly, "Third Lord Wei, I've always been good to you. That's how you repay my kindness? How should I deal with you?"

Third Lord Wei was so frightened he couldn't say a word.

Third Lord Wei still remembered that Chen Fan had slaughtered more than five hundred people from Jiang Nan to Jiang Bei back then.

"Chen Beixuan, you've gone too far!"

Xiao Xuan frowned and said, "Third Lord Wei took only a bit of your Yun Wu Spirit Water which was worth several billions! I can give you the money if you want."

As the Young Master of the Xiao family, Xiao Xuan was capable of mobilizing hundreds of billions of capital; several billions was nothing to him.

"Several billions?"

Chen Fan sneered and said, "He backed my parents into a corner and made the Chens suffer. Is that worth only several billions? What if I exterminate the Xiao family and give you ten billion?"

Everyone was stunned.

"How dare you!" Wei Changqin shouted.

Wei Changsong also said seriously, "Master Chen, I respect you because you're the Major General of Cang Dragon and an Overlord on the Divine Roll, but don't think for a moment that you can humiliate the Wei family and the Xiao family."

The Wei family was totally different at the moment.

The Wei family was only an ordinary family in the province back then, but Wei Changsong was the governor at the moment and their family became as powerful as the Ji family. Besides, Xiao Xuan was going to marry Wei Ziqin. With the support from the Xiao family, who else in China could offend them afterwards?

"Haha."

Chen Fan smiled and didn't say anything else.

With his current status, why would he take the Xiao family and the Wei family seriously? He could simply kill them all if they pissed him off. However, the others, including Xiao Xuan, didn't think so. He didn't think that Chen Fan would really exterminate the Xiao Family.

Xiao Xuan clenched his fists and said, "Chen Beixuan, you think you can do anything in China after defeating General Ye? The power of our country is beyond your imagination. Do you really think they won't use nuclear weapons to deal with you?"

"General Ye? Which General Ye?"

Everyone was confused.

After all, the Wei Family was only considered a large family within the province and they only knew what Chen Fan did in Jiang Nan Province and Zhong Hai. However, they didn't know that he had already become as powerful as a country, able to defeat many Earth Level Deities and the Blood Ancestor.

"General Ye Nantian?" Wei Ziqin wondered.

"Ye Qincang, the leader of Kunlun and the Admiral of China," Xiao Xuan said.

"What?"

The others gasped.

Even Old Lord Wei widened his eyes. Compared to Ye Nantian, Ye Qincang was way more superior. He had been the protector of China for decades and was a General that had gone through the war times, but Chen Fan had defeated him. Did that mean he had defeated the guardian of China?

"No wonder Brother Xiao Xuan is also afraid of Chen Beixuan. I didn't know he was so powerful!" Wei Ziqin thought.

Even though the members of the Wei Family knew how terrifying Chen Fan was, they couldn't give in.

Third Lord Wei was their son and brother, so they wanted him alive no matter what. Wei Changsong then said sincerely, "Mr. Chen, it was indeed wrong of Third Lord Wei and I know the Wei family can't do anything to compensate for what he did, but please spare him for the sake of our past friendship."

"Right, Master Chen. You were so close with Ziqin and Zifang back then. Please just let uncle go," Yin Wanqin said.

"Chen Fan, please spare my uncle," Wei Ziqin said.

"Master Chen, I feel so ashamed of myself. Please have mercy!" Wei Fu said as he cried and bowed to Chen Fan.

Third Lord Wei and Wei Zipin knelt and begged Chen Fan.

In an instant, everyone in the room, including Xiao Xuan, focused their attention on Chen Fan.

They remembered that Chen Fan had let many of his enemies go for old times' sake, including the Lu family, Zheng Anqi and the An family. In Jiang Nan Province, he had also spared the Su family because of Fang Qiong.

Third Lord Wei had only stolen the Yun Wu Spirit Water for a year and he could just give Chen Fan the money back. It wasn't a big deal.

Chen Fan suddenly sighed and said, "Yeah, it's just several billions. Why should I hold on to it?" After all, the Yun Wu Spirit Water was in limited supply and Third Lord Wei didn't really make a lot of money with it. He even had to give some to the Hong Sect.

The members of the Wei Family were thrilled.

Then, Chen Fan continued, "I don't care even if it's hundreds of billions. Still, if anyone offends me and doesn't have to pay for it, who else would take me and the Chen family seriously in the future?"

All of them were startled.

When Old Lord Wei was about to speak.

Chen Fan said, "Wenjin."

While Wu Junjie and the others arrived at the room and witnessed this scene, Yu Wenjin stepped forward and answered, "Yes."

"What happens to someone who offends the North Qiong Sect?" Chen Fan stood at the window and his sleeves were fluttering in the breeze.

"We kill him, together with his Divine Soul!" Yu Wenjin said firmly with a cold face.

"All right."

Chen Fan nodded.

Old Lord Wei was terrified. He yelled immediately, "Master Chen...!"

But it was too late. Yu Wenjin had already entered the Transcendent State and was as fast as thunderbolts. She flashed towards Third Lord Wei and pointed at his forehead.

"Bang!"

Third Lord Wei froze, then he slowly fell on the ground and stopped breathing.

He died. Yu Wenjin also destroyed his Divine Soul.

"Sthh."

Everyone went silent.

They were all astonished.

No one had thought that Chen Fan would kill Old Lord Wei without hesitation.

He had known the Wei family and Old Lord Wei for years and many people thought they were allies. Besides, Xiao Xuan was right in front of him, but he didn't care at all.

"Presumptuous! He's presumptuous!"

Wei Changsong's hands were shaking. He was frightened and enraged at the same time.

As the governor of the province, he had never seen such a murderer. He couldn't wait to send Chen Fan into jail and give him a death sentence. And yet, he knew this wouldn't be possible.

Wei Changqin clenched his fists and said, "General Chen, you'll pay for what you did!"

"Chen Beixuan, you humiliated the Xiao family by killing a member of the Wei family in front of me. We'll never let you get away with this," Xiao Xuan said.

"Chen Fan!"

Wei Ziqin looked disappointed and angry.

But Chen Fan ignored them and stared at Old Lord Wei as he picked up a glass of wine.

"Old Lord Wei, I had already told you the first time we met that I would punish anyone who harms me or my family. Today, I'll drink a toast to you to end this matter. From now on, the relationship between me and the Wei Family is done."

Then, Chen Fan finished the wine and left.

Old Lord Wei sat on the chair, looking pale as if he had lost his soul.

Hong Mi and Wu Junjie stood there, not knowing what to do.

"What's going on? Chen Fan argued with the Wei family and Xiao Xuan, then Yu Wenjin suddenly killed Third Lord Wei? Also, Chen Fan seems to have another name... Chen Beixuan?"

Lin Weiwei and the others didn't understand at all.

Xu Haoxuan went there with Chen Fan earlier but he still didn't understand what was happening. What he knew was that the Wei family and the Xiao family were both scared of Chen Fan. And yet, Chen Fan was only an ordinary person, why would the large families be afraid of him?

"Wait, he's Chen Beixuan? Heavenly Chen? The one who broke Xiao Xuan's limbs and threw him off North Mountain? The one who defeated Ye Qincang, the one who suppressed Yan Jin?" Hong Mi yelled.

After all, she was born in a major family in Yan Jin.

Even though she didn't recognize Chen Fan at first, she immediately reacted when she heard the name Chen Beixuan.

All of them were startled. Nobody had thought that Chen Fan was the one who had broken Xiao Xuan's limbs and suppressed all the major families in Yan Jin. The enraged members of the Wei Family were also stunned.

Yu Wenjin walked to the door, then suddenly turned around and said with a smile, "You're right, except for one thing. A while ago, the country appointed Master as Admiral Cang Dragon."

Hearing what she said.

Everyone was dumbfounded and even Xiao Xuan was terrified.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

688 Before and After

What Yu Wenjin said astonished everyone present.

The Wei Family was indeed a major family in Jiang Bei, but they were much weaker than the top families in Yan Jin and those around the world. For them, the Immortal State was already the maximum level and they couldn't imagine how much stronger the warriors above that were.

Even though Chen Fan was the most powerful person on Earth.

The Wei family didn't know how powerful he was exactly, but the title of Admiral Cang Dragon hit them hard.

Wei Zifang lowered his head and mumbled, "He's only twenty two and he's already become an Admiral?"

Being able to be appointed an Admiral at such a young age was definitely a glory! And what it represented was terrifying.

"And he's not an ordinary Admiral, but Admiral Cang Dragon! He's now as superior as Ye Qincang." Xiao Xuan looked frightened. Only those from the large families in Yan Jin knew what "Cang Dragon" meant.

It was a special title, representing supreme status.

It took more than a century for Ye Qincang to get this title after he quit being a brigand and guarded China, but Chen Fan had become immensely successful at the age of twenty. How could anyone not be jealous?

"What does that girl mean by 'suppressing Kunxu?' Is there really someone in modern times who is powerful enough to be entitled Admiral Cang Dragon?"

Everyone looked at one another.

After all, they didn't know anything about the Realm of Kunxu because of their status.

Only Xiao Xuan looked terrified. He had heard about the Realm of Kunxu and the line of defense in Kunlun, but it was confidential and his news were a bit outdated since he had been in Jin City lately.

Xiao Xuan got up and said to Wei Fu, "Don't worry, Old Lord Wei. I'll tell grandpa about it and do justice for you and the Wei Family."

Wei Fu shook his head and said with a pale face, "Third Lord Chen didn't listen to me and got what he deserved. Let's not trouble your grandpa."

"Old Lord Wei, this isn't only about you anymore. Chen Beixuan has been running amok and the superpowers won't tolerate a behavior like that."

Wei Changsong and the others glanced at one another.

The country had appointed Chen Fan as the Admiral of the Cang Dragon Unit so they must be working on building a good relationship with him. Third Lord Wei wasn't someone important. They couldn't resist even if Chen Fan wanted to eliminate everyone in the Wei family, not to mention that Third Lord Wei actually deserved to die!

But seeing how determined Xiao Xuan was, the Wei family could only agree.

Wei Ziqin was standing next to them, struggling in her mind.

This was supposed to be an engagement dinner, but it ended sooner than expected because of Chen Fan's interference.

After Chen Fan returned to the room, Wu Junjie and the others also returned. They were even more stunned than the Wei family and were staring at Chen Fan as if he were an alien.

The room was deadly silent.

Chen Fan smiled and asked, "Why aren't you talking?"

"Xiao Fan... Oh no, Brother Fan, you're amazing! You killed Third Lord Wei in front of Old Lord Wei and the Young Master of the Xiao Family, and said that you're even now. You were just like a hero in a movie!" Yan Xiaobai put his thumbs up.

"And Wenjin's attack was incredible! You were like a heroine!" Lin Weiwei's eyes twinkled.

She had always been tough, having been born in a military family, which was why she applied for military school.

Yu Wenjin's attack was as quick as a flash of lightning and she killed Third Lord Wei, who had run wild in Chu Zhou City for decades, with a finger. How awesome was that?

"I finally know what Wenjin has learnt from you!" Wu Junjie smiled wryly.

Hong Mi stood there with her trembling legs and she couldn't look into Chen Fan's eyes. All of them witnessed what happened in the Wei Family's room, but none of them knew about Chen Fan's identity and status.

Hong Mi came from a large family in Yan Jin, so she certainly knew how terrifying Chen Fan was.

He was Heavenly Chen, the one who broke Xiao Xuan's limbs and threw him down North Mountain, and a man who killed whenever someone offended him! After being appointed as Admiral Cang Dragon, who else would disrespect him?

"Xiao Fan, what's Admiral Cang Dragon? Did you really break Xiao Xuan's limbs?" Xu Haoxuan asked seriously after a while.

Everyone else finally reacted.

They were too shocked at first so they didn't give it much thought, but many doubts started bubbling up. What was Admiral Cang Dragon? Why did Chen Fan break Xiao Xuan's limbs? Why was the Wei family afraid of him?

They had many questions in their heads and even Wu Junjie wasn't quite sure.

Chen Fan shrugged and said, "Admiral Cang Dragon is only a title. I did some insignificant things for the country and they offered me the position to express their gratitude."

Yu Wenjin immediately rolled her eyes.

The insignificant things Chen Fan talked about meant slaughtering the five Earth Level Deities from Kunxu and shut the Gate of Heaven, an act that saved mankind! The superpowers might have been able to kill them with their nuclear weapons.

But if the Earth Level Deities of the Realm of Kunxu were still running wild around the world...

They could kill a President that day, destroy a city the next and sink a fleet the day after. Even the United States would be clueless about how to deal with such strong enemies, so it wasn't wrong to say that Chen Fan had saved China and the world.

Everyone's eyes popped out.

"If I can become an Admiral by doing just some insignificant things for the country, I'm willing to do so as well..."

In fact, they wanted to know more but Chen Fan didn't want to talk about it anymore. He had never planned to bring his friends into his world. It was just that he had met the Wei Family there; he couldn't just stand aside.

"Cheers! We haven't seen each other for so long. Let's not talk about these things," Wu Junjie shouted immediately.

The others could only forget about their doubts and continue chatting. However, Hong Mi became more polite this time. She used to be reluctant when everyone toasted with her before.

After that, Hong Mi started to drink a lot, helping others to fill their glasses and being nice to everyone.

Even Xu Haoxuan didn't know why his arrogant fiancée was like this and was wondering if she had drunk too much.

Only Yu Wenjin knew what was going on.

"Master is the Heavenly Being Chen Beixuan, the most powerful person in the world! He's as influential as a big country. As his disciple, I'm already on an equal footing with the leaders of the top families and consortiums. These people are only Master's friends but establishing a good relationship with them might bring her some benefits and opportunities."

Those born in the major families in Yan Jin were like Hong Mi.

They categorized people into two groups, people whom they could or could not associate with. Before what happened just then, Hong Mi thought Chen Fan and his friends weren't qualified to be her friends, so she acted arrogant. However, after knowing who Chen Fan was, she started to become respectful and was trying to befriend Wu Junjie and Lin Weiwei.

As for Chen Fan.

Hong Mi knew she wasn't qualified to talk to him so it was enough to get closer to his friends.

At the end of the day, the gathering was quite the success and everyone was pleased.

After sending Lin Weiwei and Xu Haoxuan away, Chen Fan and Yu Wenjin also got in their silver Lamborghini and waved Wu Junjie goodbye. After they left, Wu Junjie's smile started to disappear.

After a while, Wu Junjie said with a wry smile, "We're from two different worlds after all. I thought that if I worked hard, I'd be able to keep up someday. But now, I'm getting further from them."

His girlfriend, Li Ying, didn't seem to understand.

Wu Junjie cracked a smile and heaved a sigh. He tried not to think about it, but his doubts about Chen Fan's identity still lingered in his mind.

Xu Haoxuan and Hong Mi drove back to their four-star hotel in a red BMW Z4.

When Hong Mi went to college five years back, her family bought her this BMW. She drove it specially for Xu Haoxuan's sake since he was going to a gathering with his old friends.

"Honey, I will also get a Lamborghini in the next three years so we can drive around Yan Jin," Xu Haoxuan said when he saw the roadster which reminded him of Chen Fan's Lamborghini.

He had joined the Star World Corporation recently and had already been promoted to department head because of the background of his father-in-law.

"You might be able to buy a Lamborghini, but you can't surpass your friend," Hong Mi said as she entered the room and threw herself down on the king size bed.

"I don't think so," Xu Haoxuan said.

Xu Haoxuan was a haughty person and he never gave up. He had always been the top student since he was little. Hong Mi's father liked him a lot, which was why he let Hong Mi marry him.

"I don't know anything about Kunxu and I don't understand how Xiao Fan became an Admiral at such a young age, but I'm still young. I believe I'll be able to become a billionaire after a few decades," Xu Haoxuan said confidently.

He added, "Did you know there are hundreds of Admirals in the world, but only a few top billionaires? For example, Bill Gates, Buffett and the CEO of the Star World Corporation. When they visit a country, they can even meet their President. So, if I become a billionaire, am I not better than him?"

After hearing what Xu Haoxuan said, Hong Mi burst into laughter.

She rolled on the bed. Her reaction confused him. When she finally stopped, she said, "Chen Beixuan isn't an ordinary Admiral. He's the Admiral of the Cang Dragon Unit.

"Haoxuan, do you remember the engagement banquet on North Mountain six months ago?"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

689 He"s a Deity, Not a Human!

"You mean the engagement banquet that caused traffic jams across Yan Jin, the day when the city was covered with red maple leaves?" Xu Haoxuan frowned and said.

On that day, all the maple trees in Yan Jin had turned red! Cars from all over the world were stuck in traffic, and countless upper-class people and Special Envoys were there.

Even those born in Yan Jin had never seen such a sight.

"I heard that the engagement banquet was for a member of the Wang Family and the CEO of North Qiong Corp. Many envoys from different countries attended as if it were the wedding of the British Prince. But what does it have to do with Xiao Fan?" Xu Haoxuan wondered.

"Chen Fan was the one who got engaged!" Hong Mi said.

"What?"

Xu Haoxuan was completely shocked.

"Your friend also goes by the name Chen Beixuan!

"He's the founder of North Qiong Corp. He came from the Wang Family but killed Wang Chen, their Young Master, in front of Old Lord Wang. On the day of the engagement banquet, not only the ambassadors of some countries were attending, even the Presidents of over a hundred countries, including the United States and England, sent their Special Envoys to North Mountain to congratulate him," Hong Mi said.

Xu Haoxuan turned pale and was stunned by everything she said.

The status of the United States and England was incomparable! Even a hundred small countries together weren't as powerful as the United States, but the American President had also sent his Special Envoy to the engagement banquet. Only a few people in the world deserved such an honor!

"How is that possible? How is that possible?"

Xu Haoxuan mumbled, " Xiao Fan is only an ordinary person. Even if he's joined the army and made great contributions, why would the American Special Envoy come? Also, he killed Wang Chen but the Wang Family simply let him go?"

"He's Chen Beixuan! Heavenly Chen, Superpower Chen, who is as powerful as a country!" Hong Mi said coldly.

"Superpower Chen? Heavenly Chen?" Xu Haoxuan raised his eyebrows and his eyes were filled with astonishment.

Hong Mi sat next to Xu Haoxuan, took his hands and said, "There are some things I'm not quite sure about either. The Hong Family is only a middle-class family in Yan Jin, but I heard from my father that Chen Beixuan defeated the superpowers and Ye Qincang by himself. He's the most powerful being in the world! Even if your wealth is around the trillions, you're just like an ant in front of him."

Then, Hong Mi slowly told him everything she knew.

Even though she didn't really know much, Xu Haoxuan was already startled.

"He defeated the Russian Infantry Division, destroyed the Black Sea Fleet and forced the United States to fall back?" Xu Haoxuan was dumbfounded; he felt as if he were listening to a fairytale.

Although Yu Wenjin had swiftly killed Third Lord Wei with a finger, she only knew a bit more about Martial Arts in other people's eyes. And yet, Chen Fan was like a superman or a celestial being.

If he were just an ordinary person, how could he lift a tank?

"It's impossible! It's impossible for a person to be this powerful, not even in the movies." Xu Haoxuan shook his head, still doubting the things he had just heard.

"If those things weren't true, why would the Wei Family be scared of him? Why didn't the Xiao Family come for him after he broke Xiao Xuan's limbs? Even the Wang Family remained silent after he killed one of their descendants. How did Chen Beixuan become an Admiral at the age of twenty two? Have you thought about it?" Hong Mi grunted.

Xu Haoxuan immediately went silent.

He couldn't find a reason that could explain everything.

"Haoxuan, your friend isn't a normal person. He's an Entity, an incarnation of a Deity!"

Hong Mi stared at her boyfriend and said, "The best thing that ever happened to you in your life isn't getting into Huaqin University or meeting me, but having such a friend! Hold on to him and you'll rise to the top! Perhaps one day, even the wealthiest people in the world would have to bow to you..."

Xu Haoxuan's mind had already become a mess and he had only one question.

"Xiao Fan... is really a Deity?"

While Xu Haoxuan was still astonished.

Chen Fan and Yu Wenjin had already arrived at the mansion at East Mountain.

After meeting his friends in the gathering, Chen Fan had taken down a load off his mind. He could finally focus on searching for the Path of Heaven.

Yu Wenjin hesitated and said, "Master, do we need to help them?"

"No, I guess everyone knows who I am now after meeting the Wei Family. Being the friends of Chen Beixuan is enough for them to run wild in China. What other help do they need?"

Chen Fan shook his head.

"How about the Wei Family and the Xiao Family? You just let them go after killing Third Lord Wei? I feel that Xiao Xuan won't give up," Yu Wenjin frowned and said.

"I've settled the scores with the Wei Family. We used to be close after all. I don't want to stir any more trouble." Chen Fan walked towards the mansion with his hands behind his back and continued with viciousness in his eyes.

"As for Xiao Xuan, I'll kill him if he does something stupid again. This time, I won't hold back."

Yu Wenjin nodded.

People like Xiao Xuan were like ants in Chen Fan's eyes. He knew that the Xiao Family wouldn't seek revenge even if he killed Xiao Xuan.

Meanwhile, Xiao Xuan was about to contact the Xiao Family.

"Xiao Xuan, there's no need to tell your grandpa about it," Old Lord Wei said.

"Yeah, Brother Xiao Xuan. Third Lord Wei did something wrong after all, so it's reasonable for Chen Fan to kill him. There's no need to drag the Xiao Family into this," Wei Ziqin also said.

"This isn't only about the Wei Family and Chen Fan anymore. I've also got accounts to settle with him," Xiao Xuan said and his eyes seemed to be on fire.

Xiao Xuan still remembered.

Six months before, Chen Fan broke his limbs and threw him off North Mountain. If the security guards hadn't found him and sent him to the hospital, he would have died. He stayed in the hospital for several months until the Xiao Family got him Spirit Fruits and cured his injuries, so that he could walk again.

He could still feel the pain as he thought about it.

"Chen Beixuan, you're too arrogant. Do you really think that no one in the world can deal with you?" Xiao Xuan was enraged and he immediately made a phone call.

"Hello, Xiao Xuan. How are you feeling? Stop thinking about what happened in the past. Have you met Xiao Fu's granddaughter? I think she can marry you in the future."

There came Old Lord Xiao's voice.

"Grandpa." Xiao Xuan's nose turned red and tears welled up in his eyes, but he continued, "I'm great. I feel much better after visiting different places in the country. I've also met Old Lord Wei and his granddaughter. Ziqin is a nice person."

"Great, great."

Old Lord Xiao heaved a sigh.

Although his grandson had been cured, he was still grumpy and kept breaking things at home every day. Old Lord Xiao knew he wanted to take his revenge, but it was apparently impossible. So, he asked Xiao Xuan to go on a holiday to relax his mind.

"Right, grandpa forgot to remind you not to provoke Chen Beixuan and the Chen Family when you're in Jiang Nan. Chen Beixuan has just settled the chaos at the Gate of Heaven," Old Lord Xiao said.

After all, the Jiang Nan Province had more than ten million people and Chen Fan was always going here and there. How would Xiao Xuan see him? But then, Xiao Xuan said, "Grandpa, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I met Chen Beixuan today."

"What?"

Old Lord Xiao, who was laying on the bamboo chair, immediately sat up. The nurses and guards next to him all looked over with shock. He quickly asked, "You didn't offend him, did you?"

Xiao Xuan then continued with anger, "Not me, but Old Lord Wei's third son. He offended Chen Beixuan years ago and Chen Beixuan killed him."

"Grandpa, Chen Beixuan has no respect for the Xiao Family and China. Not even Ye Qincang in his younger years acted as arrogant as he does! I think the families in Yan Jin should work together and force Chen Beixuan to..."

"You fool!" Old Lord Xiao shouted before Xiao Xuan finished.

"Do you know who Chen Beixuan is? Do you know what he did recently? Do you know what Admiral Cang Dragon means?" Xiao Xuan yelled.

Xiao Xuan had been around the last few months so he didn't really know what Chen Fan had done.

He then said, "Isn't Admiral Cang Dragon similar to Ye Qincang's Admiral Kunlun? The Ye Family is only a bit more powerful than the Xiao Family, Chen Beixuan has no chance to exterminate our family. Isn't he afraid that the country would go after him?"

"Similar to Ye Qincang?"

Old Lord Xiao sighed and sounded disappointed. "Xiao Xuan, hatred has blinded your eyes and made you irrational.

"If only you knew, Ye Qincang once said that not even ten warriors like himself would be able to defeat Chen Beixuan!

"Chen Beixuan killed five Earth Level Deities in the Deity Burial Valley and shut the Gate of Heaven, saving China and mankind!

"Senior officials appointed Chen Beixuan as Admiral instead of Marshal only because of the United States. If you knew all of this, you would never say something so naive."

Xiao Xuan could feel Old Lord Xiao's disappointment.

"What?"

He blanched and was totally startled.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

690 The Wei Family"s Regre

Settling the chaos at the Gate of Heaven, killing five Earth Level Deities, being appointed Admiral Cang Dragon...

Such news was like a spear that stabbed deep into Xiao Xuan's heart, leaving him terrified and speechless.

Old Lord Xiao frowned and asked anxiously, "Did you really offend Heavenly Chen?"

"I..." Xiao Xuan couldn't speak further.

"You fool! Are you still eager to die? Do you want to back the Xiao Family into a corner?" Old Lord Xiao was enraged; the shouting led to a coughing fit.

"Grandpa, don't be mad. I just told him the Xiao Family wouldn't let him get away," Xiao Xuan explained.

"Go and apologize to Heavenly Chen immediately! If he doesn't forgive you, don't you ever come back to the Xiao Family again!"

Old Lord Xiao hung up furiously.

Xiao Xuan put down the phone and looked around. The senior members of the Wei Family sat there, looking terrified. Old Lord Xiao's voice was so loud that everyone in the room could hear clearly.

That was why they were so shocked.

Even the Xiao Family, the top family in Yan Jin, was afraid of Chen Fan, showing how superior and terrifying Chen Fan was right then.

"Admiral! It's the highest position in the army that has been empty for decades. After the Second World War, Russia was the only country that kept the title until 1997. And now, our country has appointed Chen Fan as Admiral Cang Dragon..." Wei Changqin said.

Wei Changsong and the others were dumbfounded.

They finally realized how ridiculous they had been, trying to fight with Chen Fan. He could have exterminated the Wei Family in an instant.

"Is Chen Fan that powerful?" Wei Ziqin looked down with a troubled face.

Old Lord Wei was extremely regretful.

"Our family missed the opportunity! We would have become another Xiao Family or even stronger if we would have maintained a better relationship with Chen Beixuan, especially when Ziqin also liked him back then..."

But they had missed their chance after all.

At night, Xiao Xuan and the Wei Family went to the mansion on North Mountain to see Chen Fan and tried to apologize to him. Unfortunately, Yu Wenjin came out and stopped them.

"Master is practicing. He isn't free to meet any guests right now. Please leave."

"We're here to see Admiral Chen to apologize for our mistakes," Old Lord Wei bowed and said. Xiao Xuan stood behind him expressionlessly and didn't say a word.

Bowing to his own enemy was quite a severe blow to Xiao Xuan's self-esteem.

Yu Wenjin pondered and nodded. "Alright."

Only the senior members of the Wei Family could enter the mansion while the rest stayed outside. When they walked into the backyard, Chen Fan was playing chess with his grandpa. Even though Chen Huaian had become a Connate Being which made his hair turn black, he could easily cover his younger features with a bit of illusion spells.

Qian Yexue stood aside like a servant.

"Admiral Chen, everything that happened in the past was my fault. I thought our friendship was enough for you to spare my son, so I didn't ask him to apologize to you. I was wrong! I hope you can forgive the Wei Family."

Old Lord Wei walked up and bowed.

The members of the Wei Family almost cried when they saw this sight.

A while later, Chen Fan said, "Old Lord Wei, I told you the Wei Family and I have settled all our past matters. You don't have to apologize. I won't do anything to the Wei Family as long as you don't piss me off."

"That's good," Old Lord Wei said with a glint of disappointment in his eyes.

After the Wei Family apologized, Xiao Xuan stepped forward and bowed at Chen Fan. "Heavenly Chen, I was wrong. Please forgive me."

Chen Fan tapped his fingers on the chessboard and asked, "Hm? What did you do?"

Xiao Xuan said with a hint of guilt in his eyes, "I shouldn't have criticized you. Third Lord Wei deserved to die and it was reasonable for you to kill him."

"And?" Chen Fan said lazily.

"And I shouldn't have threatened you," Xiao Xuan blushed and said.

"Anything else?" Chen Fan shook his head.

"Still not enough?"

Xiao Xuan looked up furiously.

"Xiao Xuan, you think that everyone in the world would respect and admire you because you're the Young Master of the Xiao Family and the leading figure of the younger generation of Yan Jin, but you have no idea that there are people above you, who you can't afford to offend," Chen Fan said, "Do you know that I could have killed you when you threatened me today? No one dares to piss me off, neither the Xiao Family nor China."

Not even a Grandmaster could be offended, let alone a Heavenly Being.

Threatening a Connate Cultivator was disrespectful! Chen Fan could have killed Xiao Xuan if they were in the Realm of Cultivation, but he had become much less vicious after being reborn on Earth.

Xiao Xuan turned completely pale after hearing what Chen Fan said.

He finally realized how different he and Chen Fan were. He then slowly bowed and knelt on the ground. "I... Xiao Xuan... am begging you... for mercy."

He seemed to have used all of his energy to utter every word.

Old Lord Wei and Wei Ziqin didn't know how to react. Making a Young Master of a large family kneel was even more humiliating than killing him.

Only Qian Yexue looked calm.

The Realm of Kunxu followed some of the customs of the cultivation world, where Earth Level Deities were as lofty as Sages. An Earth Level Deity could kill a mortal who offended him without having any consequences.

Xiao Xuan knelt on the ground for a while before he heard Chen Fan's voice, "Get out. I'll think of this as if nothing happened, but next time, I'll kill you and the entire Xiao Family."

"Understood," Xiao Xuan replied as he got up.

Those of the Wei Family wanted to help him but he flung their hands off and left without looking back.

Wei Ziqin stood there, staring at the gloomy Xiao Xuan and then at Chen Fan; she felt a hint of repentance in her mind.

Xiao Xuan left the Jiang Nan Province; even his marriage with Wei Ziqin was cancelled.

Chen Fan didn't care about those things. He stayed with his parents and Xiao Qiong in Jin City for many days before preparing for his journey.

Chen Fan smiled and comforted Fang Qiong, "Don't worry, Xiao Qiong. Even if I find the Path of Heaven, I wouldn't leave the planet before clearing the threat of the Gate of Heaven. Grandpa, I'll be counting on you."

After handing everything to Chen Huaian, Chen Fan finally started his journey.

The Gate of Heaven was shut temporarily, so Chen Fan could only find another passage to leave the Earth.

Chen Fan thought, "The only way for cultivators of the ancient times to leave the Earth was through an Universe Teleport Array. So, there must be a teleport array left somewhere on the planet. Once I find it and repair it, I'll be able to get going.

"According to the Blood Ancestor, aside from the cultivators of the East, many Entities in the West and the ancestors of the Kindred also left. Looks like the West also has teleport arrays like this, but their destinations might be different."

Chen Fan was a bit doubtful.

It would certainly be ideal to go to a cultivation planet through the teleport array in the Realm of Kunxu, since Chen Fan was an Immortal Cultivator and was more familiar with the cultivation world. However, it would also be acceptable for him to go to the former base of the Kindred first and find another way out afterwards.

"I hope the Kindred didn't realize I made a pill out of their ancestor," Chen Fan thought.

He had a rough idea where the Universe Teleport Arrays on Earth could be.

"The cultivators of the East left the Gate of Heaven in the Deity Burial Valley and set up a strong Golden Core array. So, it looks like the other teleport arrays should be in the other Forbidden Lands."

Chen Fan rubbed his chin.

There were seven Forbidden Lands on Earth.

The Deity Burial Valley in Kunlun, the Dragon Lake, the Mayan Temples, the Devil's Cave of Babylon and the Blood Sea in Romania. These Forbidden Lands were all related to the ancient myths and were most likely the last bases left by different races or gods.

"I've already been to the Deity Burial Valley, the Mayan Temples are being controlled by the American Army, and there's an extremely powerful Connate Spirit Beast, probably a thousand-year-old dragon, in Dragon Lake according to Kunlun... I guess the Blood Sea in Romania is the best option for now."

The Blood Sea was where the Blood Ancestor former resting place.

The Blood Ancestor was dead, meaning that nobody was guarding the Blood Sea. Besides, the Kindred had apparently left the planet and the teleport array they left behind might be in the Blood Sea.

"Next stop, the Blood Sea in Romania!"

This time, Chen Fan left alone. He didn't take anything with him, except the Blade Strengthening Gourd; even Qian Yexue stayed at the mansion on East Mountain. He left without telling anyone, so none of the others knew.

"Whoosh."

The plane flew across the sky.

Chen Fan was thinking about what to do next in the plane as he sized up the air hostesses. Immortal Cultivators might be more reserved, but Chen Fan didn't want to behave like a stone after all.

Suddenly, the girl with sunglasses sitting opposite to him yelled.

"Chen Fan?"

Chen Fan looked up and saw the girl take off her sunglasses, showing her beautiful face.

"Jiang Churan?"

Chen Fan was a bit surprised to see an old friend on the plane.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

691 Against the Christian Church Alone

After six months, Jiang Churan looked more mature and elegant. She had her hair down and was wearing sunglasses, an oversized sweater and a pair of skinny jeans, like an urban girl.

The last time they met was on Yun Wu Mountain when Chen Fan killed seven Immortal State Warriors.

"It's been a while. Are you going to Europe too?" Chen Fan smiled and said.

The two of them held many grudges against each other in the past, but Chen Fan stopped caring about them as time passed. On the contrary, Chen Fan started to find their friendship treasurable since he had fewer and fewer old friends left.

"Yeah, what a coincidence."

Jiang Churan cracked a smile.

She stared at the indifferent young man in front of her. Who would think he was the most powerful person in the Dark World, the Sect Master of the North Qiong Sect and the famous Sage in Myanmar?

"Why didn't I see how outstanding he was like Fei Fei did back then?" Jiang Churan thought and heaved a sigh, but she didn't show it on her face.

Having met by surprise, they would naturally start talking about their former classmates.

"You terrified them last time when you walked on the lake. Li Yifeng and Si Yinxia immediately went back to school to study because of you. I heard that Si Yinxia was accepted into Harvard Business School. Also, Yang Chao was selected as the main player in the national basketball team..." Jiang Churan said excitedly.

Chen Fan smiled and nodded without saying a word.

"And that little girl called Lin Lulu. She adores you and sees you as her idol. She asked me for your number and address, and something about your interests, personality, and so on. She even wants to marry you." Jiang Churan covered her mouth and giggled. Then, she looked at Chen Fan.

"Why don't you think about it? It should be fine for you to marry several women now."

"It's indeed not a problem, but it would be meaningless! Once I marry them, I must take responsibility and take care of them. I can't just watch them die after a hundred years and burn them into ashes, right?"

Chen Fan shook his head and sighed.

This was something Chen Fan and every cultivator had always been scrupulous about.

In his previous life, Chen Fan had traveled across the universe and battled with countless races. He met a few women, but he didn't accept them as partners.

The most important thing for partners was the company itself. Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals had at least a hundred thousand years of life, so only immortals of their level or those with the body or blood of Divine Beasts could be their partners. Otherwise, they would be unable to stay together for a lifetime. At the moment, Chen Fan could still collect Treasure Medicines for his parents, Fang Qiong and An Ya to enter the Connate Level.

But, after reaching the Dao Reunion or the Tribulation Stage, even Deity Medicines would no longer be useful. Chen Fan could only watch them die.

Speaking of this serious topic, Jiang Churan also went silent.

"Let's not talk about it. So, why are you going to Europe? You should have graduated from college, right? Do you have a boyfriend?" Chen Fan asked.

Jiang Churan stroked her hair and said, "I'm going there for a seminar. There are a lot of people in Europe that are interested in superpowers and the Sage of Myanmar. I'm the secretary of the Superpower Association and a few European forums invited me there."

"Hm."

Chen Fan nodded.

He knew that there had been some rumors circulating on the Internet after the battle in Myanmar.

All kinds of superpower forums, vampire websites and werewolf homes had been established, creating a trend across the world. There were even heated discussions about the coming apocalypse in the year 2012, after some news about the Realm of Kunxu were leaked.

"You're the Sage of Myanmar. I want to know if the apocalypse is really coming in 2012," Jiang Churan laughed and said.

"Don't worry. Even if the apocalypse comes, I will stop it."

Chen Fan gave her a beaming smile.

The plane landed in Italy's capital, Rome.

There were no direct flights going from Jin City to Romania. Besides, Chen Fan wasn't quite ready to go there yet.

"Although the Blood Ancestor is dead, the Blood Sea used to belong to the Kindred ancestors after all. There might be some hidden dangers inside. I could be in great trouble if I run into a Golden Core pure-blood Kindred. I should first ask around."

Chen Fan knew there wouldn't possibly be any Golden Core Cultivators on Earth.

At the Golden Core Level, cultivators could leave this planet to travel through the universe with their own bodies, but they had to be well-prepared.

Besides, the purpose of this trip wasn't only to find the Path of Heaven, but also to frighten the forces and sects in the world, so that his family would be safe after he left the Earth.

"Other than the Realm of Kunxu, the most prominent historical sects on Earth are the Christian Church, the Vodun in Africa, the God of Gold Temple, the Brahmin in India and Tantric Buddhism. Among all of them, the strongest one is definitely the Christian Church."

Chen Fan looked at the Northwest corner of Rome.

"During the heyday of the Christian Church, there were Saints and nine Immortal State Warriors dominated the world. They suppressed the Dark World Arbitration Department and almost exterminated the Werewolves and the Kindred. The Blood Ancestor was also injured by Saint Augustine. So, visiting the Christian Church is the simplest way to get information about the secrets of the Blood Sea."

The Christian Church was located in the Northwest region of Rome.

It was a small country that covered only an area of forty four square meters, which was the size of a large commercial center or a golf course. And yet, it was also the center of belief of one-sixth of the world's population.

After exchanging numbers with Jiang Churan...

Chen Fan left and walked alone on the streets in Rome in the direction of the Vatican.

He looked around like a tourist and sometimes stopped to try the Italian food. When someone asked him to take a picture for them, he was also willing to help.

Three hours later, Chen Fan finally entered the Vatican.

"Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name..."

There were many believers and tourists from all over the world on a square full of flowers and Extraordinaries could be seen everywhere. Chen Fan could sense the powerful energy of those people without using his Immortal Will, and he knew they were all Grand Masters.

But they all seemed well-behaved like mice that had seen a cat.

The Christian Church had kept the Earth in check for thousands of years and had an extremely long history. It was truly a dominator of the world. Even the nuclear weapons of the United States could only make them hide, so who would try to provoke them?

As Chen Fan walked further in, there were fewer people. He stopped at a guarded door and a priest in a black robe asked with a smile, "My dear child, how can I help you?"

Even though he looked gentle, there was a hint of the Gift of Light inside him and he was apparently a real member of the Christian Church.

"I want to see your person in charge," Chen Fan said calmly with his hands behind his back.

The priest in the black robe frowned and said, "You want to see the Pope? I'm sorry, he's not here, but he holds a service at St. Peter's Basilica Church every couple of months. You can attend it if you want."

"The one I want to meet is not that puppet, but the person who's really responsible for the Christian Church," Chen Fan said.

"Who are you?"

The priest instantly became vicious and the Gift of Light surged in his body, forming a white aura around his body. He was apparently an S-Level Extraordinary.

"It's none of your business. Ask your boss to come out."

Chen Fan stood in front of the church indifferently.

"How dare you make trouble here at the Christian Church! What an arrogant and ignorant person!"

The priest grunted and formed a white light, which looked like a cross-shaped light blade. It was extremely hot and created beams of light in the air.

"Swish!"

The priest in the black robe slashed at Chen Fan immediately.

He cast a Divine Spell of the Christian Church called the "Holy Cross Light Blade Spell," which Adam had used to split a ten-meter mountain. Even though the priest wasn't as powerful as Adam, he had a strong foundation and a stable performance.

"Clang!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Fan didn't avoid it. He flicked his fingers and crushed the Holy Cross Light Blade. The energy hit the priest hard like a hammer.

"Poof."

The priest spurted out blood and was knocked out of the church.

While he was in the air, he was astonished. The Holy Cross Light Blade was formed with pure Gift of Light and was able to split metals. How could a human destroy it with his fingers? That would be impossible, unless he was a Martial Arts Grand Master or someone at an even higher level.

"Pong, pong!"

After defeating the priest, Chen Fan ran straight in without covering himself.

Everyone who stood in his way—including the armored soldiers of the Christian Church, a group of adjudicators of the Religious Court wearing black outfits and white gloves, and some monks—was knocked down.

Even an Immortal State Cardinal couldn't withstand Chen Fan's attack.

"The Christian Church is quite powerful. Even normal guards know how to control Internal Force. I guess there are a thousand soldiers in the entire Vatican, which means there are a thousand Internal Force Masters! Not to mention there are other Divine Masters, Extraordinaries, adjudicators and Cardinals," Chen Fan pondered as he kept walking.

The Christian Church was a dangerous place for everyone else, but he went in as if there were nobody inside.

"Bang!"

Another Immortal State Cardinal had been smacked against the wall. In less than half a day, many members of the Cardinals had finally realized they were facing a tough enemy. They stopped moving forward and looked at Chen Fan anxiously.

"Ring, ring, ring."

The alarm rang at the Vatican.

This meant that there were enemies in the city and everyone had to prepare to fight. The last time this alarm rang was fifty years before when the American soldiers invaded the Christian Church.

"Mr. Chen Beixuan, what did we do to make you come for us?"

An elder walked out with the help of a blonde knight and bowed to Chen Fan.

"Finally someone who recognizes me."

Chen Fan smiled and looked at the elder. "You're the person responsible for the Christian Church? Well, a Saint is indeed powerful enough to be in charge. I never thought that the Christian Church would still have a Saint in this era. You hid well!"

Everyone was immediately shocked.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

692 The Saint Yielded

A Saint?

It was a being on an equal footing with the Earth Level Deities in the East.

Everyone was startled after hearing what Chen Fan said.

They knew that there hadn't been a Saint in the Christian Church since Saint Augustine died a thousand years before. Even the priests and monks were unaware of his existence!

"Swish."

The others looked at the elder.

The elder had white hair and his face was full of wrinkles. He seemed to be exhausted, seemingly about to fall down at any time. The blonde knight next to him was extremely respectful as if he were serving a king.

Everyone knew this blonde knight. He was the chief adjudicator of the Religious Court; he had once ranked second on the Divine Roll in the past. His body was surrounded by the raging Gift of Light! They knew that only a real bigwig of the Christian Church could make him act so respectfully, but nobody would have imagined that the elder was a Saint.

"Saint Francis, you're alive?" an old Cardinal suddenly yelled.

"The 42nd Pope, Saint Francis?"

This immediately caused a great furor.

Francis was the most outstanding Pope in the last five centuries, who brought the Christian Church to their golden age, to stand independently from the British Empire. And yet, this was two centuries in the past; he would have been three hundred years old if he were still alive.

"It really is Saint Francis! I've seen his painting in the Pope's hall," another bishop exclaimed.

Then, everyone knelt on the ground and said with tears in their eyes, "Our great, respected, sacred Saint Francis! Please protect the Christian Church..."

The elder walked forward slowly.

His body was sending out beams of gentle white light which shone upon all those present. He didn't feel tired anymore and his scars started to heal. His white hair gradually turned black; his wrinkles disappeared and he stood upright, turning into a brawny middle-aged man.

"Mr. Chen Beixuan, you're an Earth Level Deity of the East. Why did you come to the Christian Church to make trouble?"

Saint Francis' Gift of Light surged and became as wide as an ocean, which was much stronger than the power of the Blood Ancestor; it had almost reached the peak of the early Connate stage. If Chen Fan didn't exist, he would definitely be the most powerful Overlord on Earth.

"I wanted to see your person in charge but they didn't listen and even pointed their swords at me," Chen Fan said, "The Christian Church is a bit rude. Is this how you treat your guests?"

"Bullsh*t! You're the one who trespassed the restricted area!" a priest said.

Chen Fan then glared at him, making him step back.

"Sir, you're the most powerful person in the world, the Overlord that dominates the East. Why care about the mortals? Just tell me what you want and the Christian Church will do its utmost to help you."

"All right! I want you to give me all the records and books about the seven Forbidden Lands," Chen Fan replied.

All the Christian Church members were startled.

The seven Forbidden Lands were the oldest mysteries on Earth. They were related to the secrets behind the disappearance of all the legendary Entities. Each of them was extremely dangerous, and countless lives had been sacrificed to get that information... And yet, Chen Fan simply wanted to take it all away?

"Sir, that is classified information of the Christian Church. We can't lend it to you. Please leave," the blonde knight said seriously.

"You misunderstood what I said. I'm here to take those records, not borrow them," Chen Fan said.

The North Mystic Celestial Lord dominated the universe and could kill whoever he wanted. How would he be constrained by morality? The Christian Church had to give him the records anyway and Chen Fan wanted to take this opportunity to frighten them, all in order to keep their parents from harm after he left.

"How dare you!"

The bishops were enraged.

Chen Fan wanted to take away the records from the Christian Church forcefully? All the members were completely irritated.

"Lord Francis, I request the adjudicators to take action. Have them punish this man who broke into the sacred grounds and humiliated the Christian Church," a bishop knelt and said.

The other members also shouted.

The Christian Church had been founded for thousands of years. Even the American soldiers couldn't enter so easily back then, not to mention there were also Saints lying in wait.

Chen Fan remained silent and took a step forward.

"Boom!"

A powerful energy surged out of Chen Fan's body and an image of the Kun Peng appeared behind him.

The Kun Peng was a few thousand miles wide which covered the entire sky. Its terrifying energy was spread across the square; many members of the Christian Church collapsed, unable to bear the pressure.

Only the eight Immortal State bishops were still standing, letting out beams of white light.

"Sir, don't do this." Saint Francis also let out his energy to protect the members behind him.

"Hand over the records, or die!" Chen Fan said with his cold eyes.

He finally showed the true form of the Celestial Lord, a mighty and domineering existence. His energy surged forward like a thousand-mile tsunami and Saint Francis had no chance of fighting back; it was like a little boat in front of a giant wave.

The elder turned pale and seemed to be struggling.

When everyone else thought he was about to attack, he suddenly heaved a sigh and said as he lowered his head, "The Christian Church will follow your orders."

"My Lord!" the bishops yelled.

But Saint Francis said firmly, "Go! Take out all the records about the seven Forbidden Lands and give them to Mr. Chen Beixuan."

He was a Saint and the former Pope, so no one in the Christian Church would disobey him.

Soon, the records were gathered.

There weren't many of them; they were the size of a safe when stacked together. Many of them were written on parchment and every page bore endless drops of blood of the Christian Church. The Overlords in the past had risked their lives to get all that information from the Forbidden Lands.

"All right."

Chen Fan stored them in the Blade Strengthening Gourd and left.

The elder then dismissed the others and went deep inside the Vatican along with the knight.

"Why did you give in? We've been in the Vatican for thousands of years and there are many arrays and Sacred Artifacts left by the Saints. Together with your power, not even nuclear weapons can destroy the city. We are more than able to fight with Chen Beixuan, and we also have our Lord here," the blonde knight said resentfully.

"The Lord told us not to provoke Chen Beixuan. He has the power of an Entity. I didn't believe it before, but I was able to sense his powerful energy just now. Not even a group of Saints like myself can compare to him," the elder said.

There was a glint of fright in his eyes. When he faced Chen Fan, he felt as if he were in front of a fierce ancient beast which could swallow him in a blink, and the image of the Divine Beast behind Chen Fan was even more terrifying.

"The Divine Beast behind him is the Kun Peng in the ancient Chinese legends, which has the power to swallow everything," a gentle voice said.

"My Lord."

The elder and the knight knelt down.

A barefoot young man in a white robe, who had fair skin and blue eyes, made his appearance. He looked at the elder and nodded.

"You did great. We aren't ready to get out in the world again. Chen Beixuan isn't our primary goal. He probably came here for information about the seven Forbidden Lands because he's planning to go to the Blood Sea. I'm sure he'll run into the monsters dwelling inside it, and that is a good thing for us."

"Besides, I feel like Chen Beixuan has noticed my presence."

The young man narrowed his eyes.

"What?"

This time, even the elder was stunned.

The two of them were the only ones who knew the real identity and superior status of the young man. He hid deep in the Christian Church and was surrounded by layers of arrays, but Chen Fan could still detect his existence. So, how powerful was Chen Fan?

"Luckily, we didn't provoke him."

Both of them were glad.

Chen Fan slowly walked out of the Vatican and looked back at the city.

For everyone else, the Vatican was only an ordinary city, but in Chen Fan's eyes, it was surrounded by countless powerful arrays and many beams of light shot up to the sky, shining over the sacred city.

As he went deeper, there were more and more arrays and seals, and the Gift of Light became stronger.

The Christian Church was definitely the most powerful sect on Earth. With so many arrays formed by the Saints, Chen Fan even wondered if nuclear bombs could destroy the sacred city or not.

And yet, the Christian Church couldn't block Chen Fan's Immortal Will.

"The Christian Church is indeed powerful. I can sense a pure light energy deep inside its core. That energy is completely different from the one cultivated by mortals... but it's similar to the one harnessed by the Light Race seen in other parts of the universe."

Chen Fan rubbed his chin.

The Light Race was a prominent race in the universe; it had a much higher ranking compared to the mid-grade races like the Kindred. Every member of the Light Race was powerful and was a Connate Being from birth.

"Are there pure-blood members of the Light Race on Earth? If there are, their battling power must be much stronger than that of the Blood Ancestor. I might be able to make a furnace of Treasure Pills with them."

Chen Fan thought and shook his head.

He didn't bear any grudges against the Christian Church after all. He wouldn't use anyone to make pills without a reason. His current priority was to search for the Path of Heaven in the Blood Sea.

"Let's see what's recorded in the books from the Christian Church."

Chen Fan went to a coffee shop and started reading the records of the Christian Church. Many of them were written in ancient Hebrew, thousands of years in the past, but it wasn't a problem for him. He had learned all the languages on Earth before he visited the West.

"Deities around the world... Aberration of the planet... Battle of Deities... Invasion of foreign races... Defeating the enemies... Deep in the Blood Sea... Leave the world... An ancient door?"

Chen Fan read through many secrets of the ancient times.

The records of the Christian Church were much more detailed than those of Kunlun and the Sword Palace, and every piece of information was earth-shattering. Suddenly, Chen Fan stopped reading.

"An ancient door?"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 693 The Secret of the Blood Sea

An ancient door?

This caught Chen Fan's attention.

The teleporting arrays used by different races or civilizations worked differently. In the Realm of Cultivation, it would be a platform with an array carved on it, which opened a passage that would send a person to another platform.

And yet, those in other places might not be the same. For example, the Zerg developed insect holes, while Entities and demons built teleport doors like the Gate of Heaven. This ancient door would most likely be a teleport door used to leave Earth.

Chen Fan read through the text.

"The ancestor of the Kindred suffered a severe blow..."

"They decided to leave the mortal world and return to where they came from... They built an ancient door with blood and lives... The door is connected to their origin deep in the universe... The ancestor left seven Kindred on Earth to guard the door and wait for a chance to come back..."

"Right, connected to the universe. This must be an Universe Teleport Door."

Chen Fan's eyes brightened.

Five years after his rebirth, he finally found a way to leave the Earth.

"Looks like the ancestor of the Kindred must be at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul Level, or they wouldn't have been able to build an Universe Teleport Door that could take their entire race with them. I guess it's deep in the Blood Sea. Wait, there are seven Kindred guarding the door?"

Chen Fan frowned.

He thought the Blood Ancestor was the only member of the Kindred on Earth, but it seemed that it wasn't the case.

"So, there are still six pure-blooded Kindred in the Blood Sea guarding the door? No wonder the Christian Church has never gone deeper over the last thousands of years. But why aren't they coming out? Perhaps they can't leave the Blood Sea for too long?"

Chen Fan shook his head and forgot about it.

He had become a Connate Being and had completed the Sky-Swallowing Painting, so he was powerful enough to kill even ten of them. The Kindred had pure blood and strong powers. If he swallowed them, he might be able to complete another kind of Divine Power!

"Let's keep reading and see what else I can find."

Chen Fan continued reading the records.

Most of the information the Christian Church had given him was about the history of the Kindred.

According to the records, Earth was a thriving cultivation planet in the ancient times. Sages of the East and Entities of the West were on an equal footing. Even other races, including the Kindred and the Dark Wolves, would travel across the universe to visit.

At that time, the East had established the Heavenly Courts to manage the Sages in the world and there were many pantheons in the West. However, the planet started to change and the Spirit Qi gradually dissipated; it wasn't enough to support so many Entities and Sages anymore.

Because of this, a brutal war broke out.

Many Entities and Sages slaughtered across the Earth and nobody could escape. Countless civilizations were destroyed, many ancient cities collapsed and the entire cultivation world was set on fire.

It was what the East called the "Battle of the Deities."

"The Battle of the Deities lasted for centuries and when the pantheons were about to make peace, enemies from alien races invaded the planet and a more brutal war broke out..."

Chen Fan's finger slid across the parchment.

"Alien races?"

He frowned.

The Christian Church used the phrase "alien races" which had a lot of meanings in Hebrew, including Hell, abyss, universe. So, Chen Fan couldn't tell where the enemies came from.

The information suddenly became unclear at this point.

The records didn't explain who the enemies from the alien races were, but mentioned that they were extremely terrifying. Then, it immediately talked about the ancestor of the Kindred building the "Blood Door" and leaving the planet.

"The door is made with blood and bones of billions of people and countless souls were embedded in it. It's located deep in the Blood Sea and only the blood of a true God can open it, which would lead to the most evil origin..."

"Their ancestor left seven Kindred emissaries sleeping in the Blood Sea to guard the door. The world is drenched in blood whenever they are awakened..."

"Never battle with them at the Blood Sea. They are immortal..."

The information stopped right there.

The remaining data was collected by people of the Christian Church in recent centuries. However, their subsequent explorations had all been done by Transcendent State or Immortal State Warriors and they couldn't go really deep inside the Blood Sea. So, Chen Fan only glanced through those sections.

"Immortal?"

Chen Fan rubbed his chin and thought, "The Kindred indeed have some secret arts that make them immortal when they're at their ancestral grounds or somewhere with a lot of fresh blood. I was able to turn that Blood Ancestor into medicines only because he came all the way to Qin Chen Mountain."

And yet, Chen Fan wasn't worried at all.

As the reincarnation of a Tribulation State Cultivator with countless secret arts and forbidden spells, defeating immortals was a piece of cake.

"Alright, let's go."

Chen Fan put away the books and got up.

Even though there was some information about the Devil's Cave of Babylon, the Mayan Temples and the Changbai Heavenly Lake, Chen Fan would certainly go to the Blood Sea first since he knew there was an Universe Teleport Door.

The Blood Sea was located outside a barren land deep in Romania, Eastern Europe.

The flatland was a thousand miles wide and had no signs of life. Through the centuries, a lot of adventurers had gone to the legendary Blood Sea to explore the origins of vampires, but they couldn't find anything.

Merkava.

It was an old town close to the Blood Sea. It had been built thousands of years in the past and many adventure teams would pass by on their way to the Blood Sea.

"More and more people have come to explore the Blood Sea in recent years. Do they really think that there are vampires?"

A group of bald men were drinking beer and chatting in a pub.

"They're all young people who have been brainwashed by the vampire culture on the Internet. The Blood Sea is only a bit red. Didn't the experts say it's because of the high iron content? They think the Blood Sea is filled with blood just because there's some kind of red algae?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

The special attributes of the Blood Sea had already caught the attention of scientists long before, but they couldn't find any explanations. One thing they could be sure of was that the sea had not been formed by blood.

One of them suddenly said, "There are indeed legends saying that some Kindred are sleeping deep in the Blood Sea. In the last few months, all the people and animals in the Bura Village, Ontario Village and Grimm Town were captured, leaving them completely deserted. Some said that these people would be sacrificed to awaken the vampires in the Blood Sea."

The entire pub went silent.

Those villages were near Merkava and were also located along the coast of the Blood Sea. The Romanian government was deeply concerned about the disappearance of those residents and the rumors about the Kindred caused an uproar, attracting many people with thirst for adventure.

"I guess it's because the Dark Duke woke the Blood Ancestor."

Chen Fan pondered as he drank inside the pub.

He took only a short time to go from Italy to Romania. Europe had convenient transportation options, so he didn't need to rush and he visited many places along his journey.

"It was just an accident," a bald man smiled and said.

"But I heard that all the people in Dinghu Village went missing at the same time last night," another man said.

This time, everyone was startled.

Such an incident was as terrifying as a curse.

"People missing again? Yesterday?"

Chen Fan's hands froze.

He had turned the Blood Ancestor into a pill and had killed the Dark Duke; someone else did this.

"Is someone planning to wake the remaining six pure-blooded Kindred in the Blood Sea?"

Chen Fan put down the wine glass, looking shocked.

He immediately paid, then turned into a shadow and sped towards the Blood Sea. The Blood Sea was a few hundred miles wide and the water was red as blood; no fish could live there.

"Whoosh."

Chen Fan flashed across the sea like a motorboat. As he went deeper, the mist became thicker and eventually he couldn't even see what was ahead.

"The Yin Qi is very dense. Looks like the Blood Sea is located on a Yin Ground."

Glints of golden light flashed in Chen Fan's eyes.

The Yin Qi couldn't block his sight. He shot out two golden light rays from his eyes and the mist was immediately dissipated.

"I can sense the strong dark forces. It seems that I'm getting close to my destination."

Chen Fan sped up.

The red water under his feet gradually became denser, becoming almost as thick as blood in the end.

"Boom!"

Chen Fan saw a giant red lake appear right after leaving the misty area.

This lake didn't look too different, but Chen Fan could see that the entire lake had been formed by real, thick blood and was filled with Blood Qi!

"This is the real Blood Sea, formed by the blood of billions of souls."

Chen Fan looked cold.

How many people were killed to fill such an enormous blood lake?

Ten million? One hundred million? How brutal were the murders in the ancient times? How devastated were the people back then? Compared to the ancestors of the Kindred, Damon the Blood Fiend was nothing.

"I will claim justice for them."

Chen Fan looked up and saw a towering old castle far away.

He had finally arrived.

The Kindred's sleeping place had been built at the center of the Blood Sea.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

694 Killings

In the entire Blood Sea.

The outer part was red sea water while the inner part was a blood lake. The six Blood Ancestors were most likely sleeping at the center of the castle.

"Swish!"

Chen Fan flew directly to the stronghold.

"Why are there so many ordinary people?"

Chen Fan frowned.

He had already sensed some weak energy traces around the castle.

These energies belonged to mortals; there were possibly hundreds of them inside.

"Are they guarding the six Blood Ancestors? But it doesn't make sense. Those who serve them should have at least a bit of dark energy, but these people are all mortals."

Chen Fan was startled.

He scanned the entire Blood Sea with his Immortal Will.

At first, his Immortal Will was unable to probe too far because the Yin Qi had previously blocked it; once he reached the lake, he was finally able to see everything inside the castle.

A group of young people wearing gothic clothes were taking pictures or writing something inside the castle. They seemed to have traveled from all parts of the world. Some of them had blonde hair, some had black hair and some had brown hair.

"Who are these people? Why are they inside the castle? Where are the six Blood Ancestors?" Chen Fan thought as he suddenly sensed someone familiar.

"Jiang Churan?"

Chen Fan was shocked.

Wasn't the girl with sunglasses, wearing a white sweatshirt and a pair of skinny jeans Jiang Churan? She was there taking pictures excitedly.

"Swish!"

Chen Fan flashed to Jiang Churan and asked her with a stern tone, "Why are you here?"

"Chen Fan? You're also here?"

Jiang Churan was at first surprised, then she became thrilled.

"Were you also on the Star World Corporation's ship? Why didn't I see you?"

"This castle is amazing! It's located deep in the mist and probably has thousands of years of history. It's like the World's Eighth Wonder and it will definitely astonish the entire world. There are many paintings that prove the existence of vampires in the past," Jiang Churan exclaimed.

"What Star World Corporation? It's dangerous here. What are you doing?"

Chen Fan frowned and was even more anxious.

"Oh, I'm here with the European Superpower Association. They organized this adventure for us to visit Romania and look for proof about the Kindred. The Star World Corporation in the United States sponsored the trip, so I think there must be something astonishing!" Jiang Churan explained.

"Hi, brother. Are you Jiang's friend? My name is George. I haven't seen you around before. I thought I would recall the information of every person who came to this adventure!" A blonde young man came over.

He was tall, handsome, and was dressed in gothic clothes with a big skull printed on the chest which made him seem a bit rebellious.

"Adventure?"

Chen Fan glanced at the rest of the people present and found it ridiculous.

They were only a bunch of ordinary people and they dared to enter a place where even the Christian Church would tread lightly. The Blood Sea was one of the seven Forbidden Lands. They thought they could enter this easily?

"Brother, are you listening to me? Did you follow us in secret?" George said with an upset look.

"You said you came with the Star World Corporation. Where are they?" Chen Fan ignored George again and looked at Jiang Churan.

She pointed at an elegant white man.

"That's Mr. Haysum! He's the one who sponsored this adventure and hired a ship to bring us here."

Chen Fan felt like he was looking at a joke.

"How can I help you, sir?"

Mr. Haysum approached them.

While George was about to accuse Chen Fan of being a stowaway, Chen Fan slashed with his finger and an arc-shaped azure light swept across the air, splitting Mr. Haysum in half.

"Arrh!"

This action shocked the young people around them; everyone screamed at the same time.

Even Jiang Churan was confused, and George stared at Chen Fan.

"You killed him? You killed Mr. Haysum?"

Chen Fan didn't reply; he kept looking at Haysum indifferently.

Then, everyone found that Haysum wasn't bleeding at all. Instead, there were flashes of electricity coming from his body and there were a bunch of metallic devices inside.

"A robot?"

Everyone was stunned and Jiang Churan's eyes popped out.

"Not even Immortal State Warriors would dare to go deep in the Blood Sea, since the Yin Qi in the area is enough to take someone's life. The Blood Qi and the Blood Beasts lurking in the sea can even kill an Immortal State Warrior. So, why did you bring them here?" Chen Fan asked with his hands behind his back.

The broken Haysum suddenly turned around and said with blue glitter in his eyes.

"How can we rouse the honorable Blood Ancestors if we don't prepare some sacrifices? Chen Beixuan, even though you've arrived early, this ceremony was specially prepared for you."

Then, Haysum exploded.

A ball of blue electric bolts surrounded it and it soon turned into broken pieces of metal.

"The United States... The Star World Corporation... An intelligent robot."

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes; he had some ideas about who was behind this. The young people around him were all stunned and frightened by the exploding Haysum and the message he had delivered.

"Sacrifices... What does that mean?" George wondered.

"The sacrifices needed to awaken the Blood Ancestors."

Chen Fan looked up.

One Blood Ancestor needed the lives of a few villages, so how many did six of them need?

"Boom!"

As he was speaking.

Six giant iron pillars rose slowly from the Blood Sea outside of the castle.

The pillars were dozens of meters tall with many chains entwined around them to restrain six black monsters.

These monsters were a few meters tall. Their bodies were covered with black scales and their skin was pale. There were two long fangs in their mouths and a pair of bat wings on their backs. They were the Kindred.

"Zlopp, zlopp."

Countless people were so frightened they couldn't even stand.

Although they liked superpowers and vampires, every one of them, including George, turned pale and started trembling when they met the real Kindred.

"Chen Fan, this... this is...?"

Jiang Churan looked at Chen Fan with a pale face.

"This is a trap for me. I didn't know I'd drag you into this." Chen Fan frowned.

Jiang Churan was only there for recreation traveling. She had never thought that the Star World Corporation would use this group of young people as sacrifices. Chen Fan said, "Don't worry, I'll protect you."

"Roar."

After Chen Fan finished.

The six monsters opened their eyes and produced beast-like roars.

Suddenly, there was a terrifying burst of energy coming from the castle. Countless hexagrams formed an enormous sacrificial array.

The array was initiated in an instant; Chen Fan only had time to create an azure aura to protect Jiang Churan.

The others froze and blood suddenly spurted out from their heads. The blood was extracted by the power of the array and was funneled to the Blood Ancestors. George and all the other young people were trembling as their blood was being drained.

"Whoosh."

Hundreds of blood lines were combined into six blood rivers that ran into the bodies of the six Blood Ancestors.

In a blink, the Blood Ancestors swallowed all the blood in the bodies of the few hundred young people and they started struggling to get rid of the chains. Then, six energy blasts were shot to the sky, enveloping the entire area.

"Trespassers must die!"

The six pure-blood Kindred flapped their wings and flew to the sky.

All of them had pale faces, fangs and red eyes like demons.

Their energy reached the maximum level; any of them was more powerful than cultivator masters like Cold Moon Fairy. Two of them were even five meters tall and their might was comparable to that of Changhe Sword Immortal.

Four of them were early-stage Connate Kindred while the other two were mid-stage Connate Kindred!

They were definitely powerful enough to level the Earth. This was indeed one of the seven Forbidden Lands and a legacy of the Kindred.

"I'm here to look for the Universe Teleport Door and take revenge for the dead."

Chen Fan smiled; he was completely unafraid.

"How dare you! The Blood Door is a restricted area our ancestors left behind. It's not a place where you can enter."

The six Kindreds roared.

Their voices resounded through the entire Blood Sea! Countless red Blood Beasts rose from the sea and stared at Chen Fan. At the same time, Jiang Churan was completely terrified; she couldn't say a word.

What she saw was completely beyond her imagination.

This was even more astonishing than the battle on Yun Wu Mountain. After all, these were all monsters!

"The Wise Men in the United States planned to kill me with a bunch of losers like you? How ridiculous!" Chen Fan shook his head with disdain in his eyes. "I turned your friend, Reinhardt, into a pill and ate it. Your Kindred blood is quite pure, but it isn't any stronger than some Spirit Beasts."

"Roar."

Hearing what Chen Fan said, the six Kindred were enraged.

They flapped their wings and sent out a three-inch crimson aura from their paws which flashed towards Chen Fan at several times the speed of sound, aiming to tear him to pieces.

"Kill!"

Chen Fan didn't say anything. He immediately flicked his sleeve and shot out a ray of black light. It was so swift it almost reached twenty times the speed of sound. It seemed to be the "God-killing Spear."

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The black light ray pierced through the six Kindred and they exploded into splashes of blood.

Chen Fan killed all of them with one attack!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

695 Slashing a Blood Ancestor

Chen Fan slaughtered six Blood Ancestors with a spear!

This was the power of the God-killing Spear! The black spear taken from the Americans was incredibly powerful once it was initiated with Immortal Will and it could reach twenty times the speed of sound! Even Connate Overlords would be unable to react in time.

The six Blood Ancestors were fierce at first! They immediately took the lives of a few hundred mortals and Chen Fan could not react in time to save them. Jiang Churan thought she would die, but Chen Fan killed the Blood Ancestors.

"Are they dead?"

Jiang Churan's eyes popped out.

"It's not that easy."

Chen Fan cracked a smile.

The Kindred were famous for their astonishing regeneration abilities and could not be killed under normal circumstances, not to mention in the Blood Sea. According to the records from the Christian Church, the Kindred would never die while they were in the Blood Sea.

As expected, six spouts of blood shot out from the sea.

The six Blood Ancestors came out of the blood, looking hesitant. Even though there was still a hint of viciousness on them, they were floating in the sky with fright, not daring not to move any closer to Chen Fan.

"Buzz."

The blue God-killing Spear flew around Chen Fan, creating dots of blue light. This Soul Energy Weapon from a superhuman civilization was almost as powerful as a Spirit Treasure, even though it didn't have a spirit.

One of the five-meter Blood Ancestors said, "The God-killing Spear?"

"You recognize it?" Chen Fan asked.

"This is a god-killing weapon of the ancient Mayan that was bathed in the blood of God. I can't believe you have it," another Blood Ancestor said, "Trespasser, you're indeed powerful. If you're willing to give us the sacrifice behind you, we'll allow you to leave the Blood Sea."

Jiang Churan turned pale.

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

"Then I'll take your life!" The leader of the Blood Ancestors smiled. "You might be powerful and have a god-killing weapon, but we're invincible while at the Blood Sea."

The other Blood Ancestors sneered at the same time. "We haven't had blood from an Earth Level Deity of the East in a long time."

Each of them was powerful, fierce and vicious.

Jiang Churan's face became even paler, but Chen Fan wasn't scared at all. He heaved a sigh and said, "I was only looking for the Universe Teleport Door your ancestor left... killing you wasn't part of the plan, but I changed my mind when I saw the ten-mile Blood Sea."

His eyes looked even colder.

"The Blood Sea was formed with the blood of countless humans. As a member of mankind, I'd be ashamed to meet my ancestors and the Celestial Lords if I can't avenge their deaths!" Chen Fan said loudly, and it sounded like there were countless claps of thunder.

Even though Chen Fan was an Immortal Cultivator, he was also a human.

In the universe, the nine largest sects suppressed humans and battled with thousands of races. Chen Fan had represented mankind in the wars fought in his previous life, having defeated many enemies from the alien races. As the reincarnation of a powerful human, he couldn't just stay with arms crossed after seeing this sight.

"Kill!"

Chen Fan's hair fluttered in the air and his body let out beams of azure light. He then shot to the sky towards the six Blood Ancestors.

The God-killing Spear immediately broke the sonic barrier and flashed forward, creating light blue ray at the end.

"Kill!"

This time, the Blood Ancestors were ready.

Even though they couldn't go faster than twenty times the speed of sound, they cast a spell and each of them created many doppelgangers so that the God-killing Spear wouldn't find its targets. A beam of blue light flashed over and only two Blood Ancestors exploded.

"Boom!"

Chen Fan didn't hold back at all.

His azure aura shone all over the sky, and his Divine Body and True Essence merged to form a steel battleship.

"Boom!"

The three-meter leader of the Blood Ancestors was smashed and its chest exploded. The powerful energy immediately tore its wings apart and blew its entire body into little bits.

But this was only the beginning. The energy of the punch kept going, striking another Blood Ancestor. Its momentum was only blocked after that, when it reached the leader of the Kindred who was five meters tall.

"Wither."

Then, another Ancestor cast a complicated spell and pointed at the air, shooting a black ray into Chen Fan's body. This was the best curse of the Kindred.

The Withering Curse!

It could weaken any plant or creature. Even an Earth Level Deity would be drained immediately and the Divine Soul could only leave the body.

Still, Chen Fan's energy had risen to the maximum, as if he were a little azure sun in the sky. He took the attack of the curse and his aura dimmed for a second, but it immediately brightened up again.

"How is that possible?"

The leader of the Kindred was stunned.

No Earth Level Deity could withstand the Withering Curse; the only options would be to fight it with Dharma Treasures or to escape with secret arts.

"Unless he's almost immortal and has achieved the body of God?" the leader thought and found it ridiculous. A true God would be the top being on Earth even in the ancient times, but Chen Fan was in his twenties. How would he be able to achieve the body of God?

But it didn't have time to think further.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Chen Fan flashed across the sky like a fighter aircraft.

Each of his attacks carried the energy of an exploding planet. No Kindred could withstand his punch, and even the two mid-stage Connate Kindreds exploded right after a blink.

"Whoosh."

The Blood Ancestors rose again from the Blood Sea and were all looking anxious.

After all, they weren't immortal and their Divine Soul would be crushed some day if Chen Fan kept attacking.

"Initiate the Dark God-refinement Array," the Kindred leader shouted and waved. A staff flew out from the Blood Sea and landed in its hand. The object carried terrifying energy; it appeared to be a superior-grade Spirit Artifact.

"The Staff of Death!"

It was a Sacred Artifact which represented the power of death and was the top Divine Artifact among the seven of the Kindred.

The other Blood Ancestors also summoned their Divine Artifacts one after another.

"The Corrosion Bracelet, the Dark Magic Bottle, the Ring of Death, the Silver Left Hand and the Withering Crown."

Six superior-grade Dharma Artifacts came forth. Each Blood Ancestor was holding a different Divine Artifact; they harnessed their powers to form an hexagram-shaped array. The dark forces on their bodies surged and the sky suddenly darkened, as if they were in Hell.

The Dark God-refinement Array!

It was an array formed by six Blood Ancestors with six superior-grade Spirit Artifacts and was said to be able to refine gods.

Chen Fan stood inside the array and could feel the dense dark forces. This energy was terrifyingly corrosive; it carried a true sense of Hell. Even the body of an Earth Level Deity would rot and his soul would be contaminated if he touched it.

"Sizzle."

The dark forces and the azure light around Chen Fan twined together; when they made contact, it sounded as if a piece of hot iron were being quenched in water.

Smoke was billowing and the forces were trying to consume Chen Fan's flesh, but the Azure Thearch Longevity Body was extremely strong; they would need at least several days to achieve this.

"Your array needs at least seven people to be fully activated. It's much weaker with one of you missing... it's completely harmless like this."

Chen Fan smiled.

The Blood Ancestors were immediately startled.

Their forefathers had passed down the Dark God-refinement Array and left seven Divine Artifacts for the seven Kindred. And yet, Reinhardt had taken the last one, the "Blood Holy Grail," to Qin Chen Mountain and was swallowed by Chen Fan, who also kept the Blood Holy Grail. Only six of them remained and the array was incomplete.

"Break!"

Chen Fan stepped forward and his energy surged.

Then, an ancient Kun Peng appeared behind him, spreading its wings. Its horrific energy came out of Chen Fan's body, filling the entire array.

"Boom!"

How frightening was it when Chen Fan exhibited the full power of the Kun Peng?

The attack was comparable to that of a peak-stage Connate Being and it immediately broke the Dark God-refinement Array. The six Blood Ancestors were knocked out, almost dropping their Divine Artifacts.

"Damn it!"

The Blood Ancestors had never thought that Chen Fan would be this terrifying.

However, it was too late. Chen Fan flashed to three-meter Blood Ancestor who was holding the "Corrosion Bracelet" and made a grabbing motion.

"Clank!"

He pulled out a black sword out of thin air.

The purple thunderbolt wrapped itself around the blade, making the black sword look as if forged from flashes of lightning. This was apparently the Quasi-Spirit Treasure, the Purple Thunder Blade!

Chen Fan slashed with the blade and a bolt of lightning struck with a destructive power.

"Oh no!"

The Blood Ancestors were terrified.

The one who was holding the Corrosion Bracelet even shot out a beam of green corrosion light as an attempt to stop Chen Fan, but who could withstand the attack of his Quasi-Spirit Treasure?

"Clang!"

A crisp sound came.

The purple lightning went past the corrosion light and slashed at the Corrosion Bracelet. The bracelet, made with copper and inlaid with many emeralds, was split in half! The blade aura then kept moving forward and slashed the Blood Ancestor behind it into two pieces.

"Bang."

That Blood Ancestor was struck by a bolt of lightning and exploded into a blood mist which instantly evaporated. Not a spec was left.

Even the Divine Soul was obliterated!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

696 Killing Them All

There weren't immortals in the world.

Just like Chen Fan's Azure Thearch Longevity Body, if it borrowed the wood forces from the thousand-mile forest; nuclear weapons weren't strong enough to kill him. As for the Blood Ancestors, since their Divine Souls were connected with the Blood Sea, they could use the power of the sea to rebuild their bodies.

But what could they do if their Divine Soul was also destroyed?

"Bang."

A bolt of purple lightning struck down.

This artifact was the treasure of the Heavenly Thunder Sect. Crafted by a Sky Immortal, it was an extremely terrifying and rare Quasi-Spirit Treasure on this planet. Chen Fan could kill any peak-stage Connate Beings with it. A Kindred would be unable to withstand its attack; both body and Divine Soul would be destroyed by the lightning.

"No!"

The other five Blood Ancestors yelled.

They had been in the Blood Sea for countless years and were Kindred of the same generation, so they were close like brothers. Since Chen Fan killed one of them, they were determined to take revenge.

Their leader who was wearing the Withering Crown cursed Chen Fan with a resentful look, "How dare you kill Rusfan! I'll dig out your heart so I can seal your Divine Soul inside. I'll make it last for ten thousand years so that you live forever in pain!"

"Kill!"

Chen Fan didn't say anything.

In his eyes, these stupid Kindred had been manipulated; those behind this plot were the Star World Corporation and the American Wise Men. After killing them, Chen Fan would have to pay a visit to the United States and settle the scores with the Wise Men.

"Bang."

Another flash of purple lightning struck.

Chen Fan slashed with the black sword in his hand.

The True Essence then turned into a ten feet long electric dragon surrounded by flashes of lightning, cracking in the air with a terrifying energy. The Blood Sea was therefore split in the middle, creating a long gap.

"Our dearest ancestor, please grant us power!"

The Blood Ancestors didn't fight back recklessly.

Instead, they whispered in an ancient language with an evil power. When the spells started working, the ten-mile Blood Sea became fierce.

The waves were raging.

There was red lightning in the sky; bean-sized blood drops started pouring down. The entire world was like crying angrily. As the Blood Ancestors waved their claws, the powerf of the Blood Sea went towards Chen Fan.

"Splatter."

A hundred-meter blood wave was formed between Chen Fan and the Blood Ancestors. Countless monstrous Blood Beasts roared inside and the wave tried to drag Chen Fan down to Hell like a giant hand.

"Kill!"

Chen Fan looked calm.

The purple lightning dragon split the blood wave; many red and ugly Blood Beasts were smashed by the blade aura and the Blood Qi was also dissipated.

"Roar!"

Five giants of dozens of meters tall appeared behind the waves.

They had been formed by the blood in the Blood Sea, as if the Blood Ancestors were wearing armor, and they flashed towards Chen Fan from all directions.

Each move they made carried the energy of the entire Blood Sea.

"Chen Beixuan, can you feel your energy decreasing? We're the dominators of the Blood Sea! You won't be able to borrow any power from the world or even to refill your energy."

The leader of the Blood Ancestor burst into laughter.

The Blood Sea was like a sacred land built by the ancestor of the Kindred; it was a completely isolated world. In the Blood Sea, the Blood Ancestors were the Entities and this was their country.

Some invisible chains then came from all directions, wrapping around Chen Fan's body. The world didn't give him energy and even slowed him down at the same time.

As he struggled, he found it more difficult to escape, just like a fish caught in a dense puddle of glue.

"So what? I can still kill you with a slash."

Chen Fan put the sword forward.

The purple thunderbolt seemed to have reached the end of time.

His energy was enough for him to fight for three days and three nights. Besides, Chen Fan could swallow the entire Blood Sea if he pushed the power of the Swallowing Divine Power to the maximum.

"Form!"

Chen Fan slashed gently as if he were just opening a door.

"Swish."

The attack was silent; there wasn't any blade aura or lightning dragons.

But the air seemed to have frozen and a crack appeared. Countless red chains broke and the large raindrops were also split.

The invisible wave moved from Chen Fan to the five Blood Ancestors. It reached the thirty-meter Blood Ancestor at the front—the one who was holding the Dark Magic Bottle—neatly splitting him in half.

The wave kept moving forward.

"Poof, poof, poof."

It then slashed four more Blood Ancestors as it moved forward, finally weakening when it reached the fifth. It only injured the Blood Ancestor with the Withering Crown.

A silent slash had slaughtered five Blood Ancestors!

This attack had even split the Blood Sea; the four Blood Ancestors were as vulnerable as tofu in front of him. The pressure from the world didn't seem to affect him.

"Roar, roar!"

The five Blood Ancestors let out an earth-shattering roar at the same time.

They couldn't believe that the power of the Blood Sea couldn't suppress Chen Fan. He had such terrifying energy! Normally, an Earth Level Deity could only exert the power of a peak-stage Immortal State Warrior once he entered the Blood Sea and even a Sky Immortal would be affected.

"You think several little vampires can take over the world?"

Chen Fan snickered.

Golden Core Cultivators could control the world; outsiders going into their land would be the same as offending the whole world.

The Blood Sea was like an enormous Golden Core land, a sacred land of the gods on Earth. However, the five Blood Ancestors were only Connate Beings and they didn't have complete control of the energy.

"Suppress!" the Blood Ancestors shouted.

"Boom!"

The Blood Qi surged into their bodies and healed them. They stretched out their claws and formed many red chains out of thin air that were wrapped around Chen Fan.

The Blood Ancestors used the original power of the Blood Sea to capture Chen Fan.

"It's useless. You're like children driving a truck. The energy is too strong for you and you can't control it." Chen Fan slashed right away.

"Bang."

The blade aura swept across the sky!

Then, Chen Fan and the Thunder Blade merged into one and turned into a purple lightning. The red chains broke one by one and the purple lightning flashed for a hundred feet, hitting a Blood Ancestor.

The thirty-meter Blood Ancestor was split in half.

Then, a Kindred wearing the Ring of Death was exposed.

This Blood Ancestor, called Howard, said as a slit appeared on its forehead, "How is that... possible?"

The slit extended to its neck, chest, abdomen, and in the end, it was split in half. A purple blade aura then exploded from the slit and blew Howard's body into a blood mist. Its Divine Soul had also been destroyed by the lightning!

The second Blood Ancestor was dead!

Chen Fan was terrifying with the Quasi-Spirit Treasure in his hand! These Blood Ancestors had extremely high battling power after taking the energy from the Blood Sea.

Howard and some of them were comparable to mid-stage Connate Beings and the two leaders were even close to the peak stage. And yet, they were still vulnerable before Chen Fan, dying with one slash!

"Howard!" the remaining four Blood Ancestors yelled.

Unfortunately, they weren't immortals anymore and their Divine Souls had been destroyed by the lightning. So, how could they resurrect? These Blood Ancestors were indeed tough to deal with. If it wasn't for the Purple Thunder Blade, Chen Fan would only be able to engulf them with his Swallowing Divine Power.

But the Purple Thunder Blade was made with the body of the Thunder God and was made for killing monsters and demons. So, it was like the bane of the Kindred.

"And you."

Chen Fan stood there holding his sword with a cold look.

"Bang."

A bolt of purple lightning struck down from the sky.

All the blood waves and chains summoned by the Blood Ancestors were split by Chen Fan. His True Essence and his Quasi-Spirit Treasure together might even be able to destroy a sacred land of the Gods, not to mention a mere fake like the Blood Sea.

After seven finger flicks.

The Blood Ancestor called Flare—who took people's Divine Souls with the Dark Magic Bottle—was killed by Chen Fan, and his Divine Soul was burnt into ashes. The third Blood Ancestor was down.

After fifteen flicks.

Blood Ancestor Carnes—who had the Silver Left Hand and controlled the power of Death—was crushed into pieces together with its Divine Soul, and its Silver Left Hand was also cracked. The fourth Blood Ancestor died.

After thirty two flicks.

Dracula—one of the two Kindred leaders and the most powerful Blood Ancestor, who had brought destruction and death to the world with the Staff of Death—was slashed thirteen times. Then, Chen Fan summoned the "Lesser Five Elements Thunder" and destroyed its Divine Soul.

Only Nicolas remained in the end; he was the Blood Ancestor with the Withering Crown. He stood on the Blood Sea with a pale face.

Jiang Churan looked up and stared at that young man with the thunder blade and fluttering hair.

In just ten minutes.

Five out of six Blood Ancestors had been defeated!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

697 The Real Tactic

"Whoosh."

The wind was howling and the Blood Sea was raging.

Blood started raining from the sky, as if expressing sadness because of the five Blood Ancestors' demise. Even though the Blood Sea didn't have a soul, it had been created by the ancestor of the Kindred. Since five of them had died, troubled emotions could be sensed.

"Clang!"

Chen Fan stood in the air holding his sword with disdain in his eyes.

The appearance of the six Blood Ancestors had only lasted for a dozen minutes, but most of these Overlords—who had guarded the door in the Blood Sea and fought the Christian Church for countless years—had already been killed by Chen Fan. Only Nicolas, the last Blood Ancestor, had barely survived.

"Do the American Wise Men really think they can kill me with these losers? Didn't they know that I killed five Earth Level Deities and six Spirit Beasts in the Deity Burial Valley?"

Chen Fan smiled and walked forward.

Every step he took separated the blood clouds above him and the waves underneath.

The five-meter Nicolas with the Withering Crown turned pale; it stared at Chen Fan anxiously. This was the first time it felt frightened in thousands of years.

Chen Fan was too powerful.

Not even the energy of the entire Blood Sea was able to contain him, and he had killed five Blood Ancestors! The Thunder Blade in his hand was a veritable bane to them.

"Kill!"

Nicolas launched an attack using the Withering Crown.

After all, it was the strongest Blood Ancestor and had lived countless years in the world. Its dark energy was comparable to the power of a mid-stage Connate Being. As he activated the crown with its full power, a small Blood Sea projection appeared behind it.

Then, he attacked with the energy of the entire Blood Sea.

A hundred-meter crimson light ray appeared in the sky, with enough power to crack the air and crush an Earth Level Deity. The Withering Crown even let out beams of green light; it seemed as if it would evaporate all of Chen Fan's blood.

"Clang!"

Chen Fan raised his sword with coldness in his eyes.

A bright light shone on the Thunder Blade and it clashed against Nicolas' blood claw.

"Boom!"

Spouts of water shot out of the Blood Sea.

This was the horrific energy storm caused by the Blood Sea's surging energy. It started spreading everywhere and the blood rain in the sky was blown away.

"Swish, swish."

In a blink, Chen Fan slashed thirteen times.

Each slash carried the power of a peak-stage Connate Being which could be used to kill an Earth Level Deity. After that, the energy of all the thirteen slashes tore the blood claw apart and struck Nicolas.

"Bang."

It sounded like an earth-shattering bolt of lightning.

The bright blade aura was strong enough to split the universe.

First, the Withering Crown worn by Nicolas exploded, and the mini Blood Sea behind it was also crushed. In the end, Nicolas' left arm was cut off and the blade aura split its body in half, starting from its shoulder and going through its stomach.

"Roar!"

Nicolas screamed and fell into the Blood Sea. Half of its body had been blown into blood mist.

"Go to hell!"

Chen Fan went after it in the Blood Sea.

Then, an array appeared above the castle and a terrifying energy was gathered, intent on absorbing Jiang Churan's essence. Apparently, it was a ruse prepared by Nicolas so that he could buy some time to escape.

Chen Fan frowned and broke the array immediately, then he formed an aura around Jiang Churan and held her in his arms.

"Huh?"

Jiang Churan suddenly saw Chen Fan in front of her.

"Follow me."

Chen Fan held her with one arm while he used his sword with the other. Then he turned into a flash of purple light and dived into the Blood Sea. The purple light made a passage in the thick blood so that they could run after Nicolas.

"Thank you... for saving me."

Jiang Churan lowered her head and said gently while in the purple aura.

"Of course! You're my classmate and also Auntie Tang's daughter! But I couldn't save the others in time," Chen Fan said calmly.

When the array was initiated, Chen Fan didn't react fast enough and a few hundred young people died. Chen Fan blamed the Blood Ancestors for it so he had to kill Nicolas.

"Classmate? And it's just because of my mom?"

Jiang Churan was disappointed but she quickly smiled again and looked up.

"Swish."

There were layers of seals in the Blood Sea and it got harder and harder as they went deeper. Still, the Purple Thunder Blade was powerful; it could slash open any kind of seal.

In the end, the purple light broke the last barrier and an ancient door appeared in front of them.

The door was located deep in the Blood Sea. It had been completely built with white bones and was about dozens of meters tall. Glitters moved on its surface, as if it was indeed connected to an alien world.

"We're here!"

Chen Fan's eyes brightened and he immediately rushed to the door.

Even though it was located inside the Blood Sea, there wasn't a drop of blood within a hundred meters, which implied that an invisible shield was surrounding it.

"Huh? What's this?"

Jiang Churan covered her mouth.

There were bones of beasts, bodies of the alien races, and many human skulls on the door. It exuded a sense of the ancient times; it looked like a magic door to Hell.

"This is the Door of Blood built by our great ancestors which leads to our origin. They will return to Earth through this door someday. By then, the entire planet will turn into a sea of blood and us Kindred will drink as much blood as we want and dominate the world," Nicolas said as it leaned on the door and coughed.

Half of its body had been cut off, so only half of its wings remained, making it impossible to escape. Besides, bolts of purple lightning were flashing on its wound, corroding its body at all times. Even though it was the most powerful Blood Ancestor, it would slowly die due to such a severe injury.

"This is only a Universal Teleport Door that connects to some Kindred planet deep in the universe."

Chen Fan walked to the door and touched it gently.

"It's useless, trespasser. The door can only be opened with the blood of a True God! How would there be a real Entity on this planet? You'll be trapped here forever."

Nicolas burst into laughter and spurted out black clots.

The blood of the True God?

Chen Fan frowned.

He read from the records of the Christian Church that a "True God" was a being in charge of a piece of land. In the Realm of Cultivation, it would be the Golden Core Cultivators, and on Earth, it would be the Sky Immortals.

Such beings could travel across the universe with their own bodies; all of them had left the Earth ages before. Why would they stay on this barren planet?

"Nonsense!"

Chen Fan flicked his finger and created a gold and black flame.

The golden Divine Flame and the black Kylin Fire combined and became a two-colored flame, falling on Nicolas's body. The Li Fire Golden Eyes immediately burnt Nicolas into ashes before it could even scream and its Divine Soul was also destroyed.

"You want to leave the planet?" Jiang Churan asked in shock.

"It's only a thought. I haven't decided the exact time I'm leaving," Chen Fan said as he sent his Immortal Will into the door to see how it had been built and how he could open it.

Jiang Churan immediately went silent; there was a glint of sadness in her eyes.

Chen Fan asked, "Right, what's that Star World Corporation you talked about? I've been hearing that name often in the last few days."

"The Star World Corporation is a high-tech company that has thrived in recent years.

"Their headquarters is located in the United States but they have many divisions around the world. The smart phones and software they have developed are really popular and they have replaced Apple as the largest technology company in the United States. I heard that the market value of the company has exceeded trillions of dollars and their CEO, Mr. Brooke, has become the top tycoon in the universe."

Jiang Churan added angrily, "But I can't believe they would do something like this. Even though they sponsored our adventure, their ultimate goal was to carry out a dark ritual and wake the demons. Chen Fan, I would have died if it wasn't for you."

Jiang Churan looked at Chen Fan with gratitude.

"It's nothing," Chen Fan replied indifferently.

He had never heard of the Star World Corporation in his previous life.

It seemed that the American Wise Men were behind this. When Chen Fan fought against the last Wise Man, his final words implied that he had a strong master. Besides, many robots had been sent to lead the adventurers into the Blood Sea to wake the six Blood Ancestors, which should be according to their leader's commands.

"I can't believe people would still provoke me after I suppressed Kunxu! Looks like I have to visit the United States and clear all the threats on Earth before leaving," Chen Fan said coldly.

But then, his hand suddenly stopped.

"The Wise Men are resourceful. Their leader has controlled the United States and dominated the Earth for a century. I'm sure they know I killed many Earth Level Deities in the Deity Burial Valley, but they still think that the Blood Ancestors can defeat me? This doesn't seem like something they'd do. Unless somebody else is behind this, the only thing that can harm me on Earth is..."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Churan wondered.

Chen Fan looked extremely serious.

He looked above at the surface of the Blood Sea. There was suddenly a bright light which shone through the Blood Sea and lit up the entire sky like a little sun.

"Boom!"

A mushroom cloud rose from the Blood Sea.

It was extremely bright; it carried a terrifying energy that surged in all directions. The explosion could be seen clearly, even from a hundred miles away. Countless people looked up and watched this sight with dumbfounded expressions.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

698 The Earth-shattering Nuclear Weapon!

"Susan, it's time to go home."

Logan, the old fisherman, told his daughter as he put away the fishing net.

The villagers of Merkava lived right next to the Blood Sea and had been fishermen for generations. There might not be many creatures in the Blood Sea, but there were some delicious whitebaits.

The blonde, tanned Susan looked up and was about to answer, but she suddenly widened her eyes and stared at something far away. There was a bright light at the center of the Blood Sea enveloped in mist.

The light was so bright that everything in front of her turned white.

Then, a white mushroom cloud rose with terrifying light and heat. It went straight to a few thousand meters in the sky like a volcanic eruption and could be seen clearly a hundred miles away. In the end, the impact and the sound came, lifting the mist above the Blood Sea and surging in all directions.

The Blood Sea was in chaos.

"This... This is..." Susan said with her trembling lips.

"A nuclear bomb! Someone dropped a nuclear bomb! Is the next world war coming?" Logan's hands trembled as he recalled the terror during the Cold War.

Not only them.

The villagers around the coast of the Blood Sea all looked at the beautiful mushroom cloud. The impact of the explosion even bent the trees and broke the glasses of many houses as if the apocalypse had just arrived.

When the mushroom cloud rose.

Alarms in the military base of the superpowers rang at the same time.

"What's wrong?"

Director Xiao looked at the warning signs on the screen and frowned.

"A nuclear explosion inside the atmosphere? In which country? It looks like Eastern Europe? Those countries have nuclear bombs too? Maybe the former Soviet Union left them behind?"

A nuclear explosion would cause a small-scale earthquake and the seismic waves were different from those of a normal earthquake, so the countries could detect it very easily and would know where it happened.

Red Sparrow walked over quickly in her heels.

"Director, the center of the explosion was located on a flatland in Central Romania. The might of the blast detected is of about a million tons, most likely a hydrogen bomb. And..."

Then, Red Sparrow looked up with anxiousness in her eyes. "This is where the Blood Sea is located. According to our intel, Chen Beixuan seems to have gone there."

"What?"

Director Xiao was so shocked he dropped his cigarette.

Other than China.

Almost all the large countries, including England, France, Russia, Japan and Germany, detected the explosion. Ever since the Cold War, there hadn't been any nuclear explosion tests in the world.

The explosion of this million-ton hydrogen bomb in Romania immediately astonished the whole planet! In modern society, anyone who dared to drop a hydrogen bomb in Europe would certainly be doomed! Some said that the senior officials of the European Union had called upon an urgent meeting.

There was also a heated discussion on the Internet.

Someone uploaded the video of the explosion, immediately catching massive attention.

"Oh God! It's really a nuclear explosion!"

"Based on the height of the mushroom cloud, it's definitely a hydrogen bomb which is of at least a million tons. Why did they drop a nuclear bomb? Is Russia invading the European Union?"

Countless people commented on the Internet.

"Is it possible that the United States dropped a nuclear bomb to eliminate aliens or some kind of monsters?" a person asked and was immediately jeered at.

In Yan Jin.

Xu Rongfei was doing facials and her best friend, Ningxin, suddenly yelled.

"Fei Fei, look! A nuclear bomb exploded in Romania."

"Huh?"

Xu Rongfei was startled.

In Jin City.

Chen Huaian was practicing. His moves might seem powerless but could in fact break a mountain.

Suddenly, Chen Guoguo ran to him with a tablet.

"Grandpa, there was a nuclear explosion in Europe."

"Hm?" Chen Huaian frowned and took the tablet. When he saw the location of the explosion, he felt worried.

"It's this... where the Blood Sea is located?"

In Zhong Hai.

Wang Xiaoyun was working in the Jin Xiu Group and An Ya came in.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Xiaoyun looked up and saw An Ya's anxious look. "Mom, isn't Xiao Fan in Europe? Didn't he travel to Romania to look for the Blood Sea?"

"Yes! It's one of the seven Forbidden Lands and the Blood Ancestor came from that place..." Wang Xiaoyun said and found that An Ya turned pale.

She didn't understand what was going on so she glanced at the tablet in An Ya's hands, and was then terrified.

Not only those in Yan Jin, Zhong Hai and Jin City, countless others related to Chen Fan saw the news report. Many of them thought it was a normal nuclear explosion, except for a minority who knew where Chen Fan was.

On the coast of the Blood Sea in Romania.

Several fair-skinned, bald and blue-eyed men were staring at the mushroom cloud. There was a star on their chest which was the logo of the Star World Corporation.

"There's no way Chen Beixuan could survive the explosion of a million-ton hydrogen bomb! The atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki back then was only dozens of thousand tons," a Wise Man said.

"Unfortunately, we couldn't bring more nuclear weapons here because we had to fool the European Union. Besides, Chen Beixuan's Immortal Will is too sensitive. We could only detonate the bomb after he dived into the Blood Sea, which was why he was away from the explosion center. Otherwise, he would have died from the heat," another Wise Man said.

"No matter what, he's dead by now. No one can survive a nuclear explosion. Now, we should contact Leader and start dealing with North Qiong Corp," the leader of the group said with certainty.

Then, they turned around and left.

Things had settled at the moment the bomb exploded! Anyone would have been shattered in front of a nuclear bomb no matter how powerful he was. Not even the Blood Sea could withstand the energy of the bomb, not to mention a human.

When the Wise Men returned, some shocking news had been spread across the Dark World.

The Star World Corporation was behind the nuclear bomb attack. They had detonated a million-ton hydrogen bomb on the Blood Sea in order to eliminate Chen Beixuan.

"What?"

The world was stunned.

Everyone froze when they heard about it.

"It's Chen Beixuan?"

The underground forums were stirred.

Countless people joined in and discussed.

After Chen Fan suppressed the Realm of Kunxu, he had been the most powerful Overlord on Earth! Even the superpowers were scared of him. So, many wondered if nuclear weapons could kill Chen Fan. They had never thought that their doubts would have been answered that day.

"Earth-shattering!"

Many people's hands were trembling.

Once a nuclear bomb exploded, no one would be able to hide it from the world and billions of people would know about it! Having used it to attack Chen Fan, the Star World Corporation indeed had dared to undertake this by any means!

"How did the Star World Corporation get a nuclear bomb?" someone wondered.

"I heard that the Star World Corporation is supported by the American Army, so the United States is in fact the one who did this. They finally eliminated him," another person replied.

"It's fine if Chen Beixuan is really dead, but if he's alive, he won't let any of them get away. By then, a world war will break out!"

Some of them were worried.

Many believed that Chen Fan had died.

After all, nuclear weapons were able to suppress the Earth and were also the reason why the superpowers could be so superior in the world. A million-ton hydrogen bomb could easily level a city, so it was impossible that Chen Fan was still alive.

"Chen Beixuan is finally dead!"

Countless western warriors gloated.

The furious countries of the European Union suddenly felt a bit pleased and Japan even started celebrating. The Japanese Prime Minister had publicly announced that the demon was dead!

At the same time, the North Qiong Sect was devastated.

"Seriously?"

Yu Wenjin couldn't believe it.

"Xiao Fan did go to Europe to check out the Blood Sea," Wang Xiaoyun said with great sadness.

"F*k the Star World Corporation! F*k the United States!"

A'Xiu was enraged. She couldn't wait to go to the United States right then and behead the CEO of the Star World Corporation.

"Don't worry, Master will be fine," Hua Yunfeng comforted them.

But this time, he wasn't quite sure, either.

After all, it was a nuclear weapon! He could feel the earth-shattering power just by watching a video on a screen, so how much pressure would Chen Fan bear at the center of the explosion?

"Just trust Xiao Fan! The only thing we can do now is to protect ourselves and wait for him to come back," Chen Huaian said. Everyone felt calm with him guarding the North Qiong Sect.

Then, Wang Xiaoyun suddenly shouted, "Oh no! Xiao Qiong is on her way to the United States to have a business meeting with an American company. The plane has already departed... That company seems to be the Star World Corporation."

"What?"

Everyone was startled.

"When it rains, it pours."

Meanwhile, at the Universal Teleport Door deep in the Blood Sea.

A giant azure cocoon of dozens of meters large lay there like an enormous bird egg. The evaporated Blood Sea and the huge pit around it showed how powerful the nuclear bomb was.

The cocoon floated there as if thousands of years had passed! Then, it suddenly moved; a hand broke the cocoon and stretched out.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

699 The World Has No Chen Beixuan

An azure cocoon with mysterious fire patterns and the image of a howling Kun Peng was floating deep in the Blood Sea.

"Crack."

The cocoon started cracking, creating spiderweb shapes and exposing what was inside.

Chen Fan sat in front of the Blood Door cross-legged and was surrounded by a golden aura. Inside the golden light was the Armor of Golden Flame and a girl with silver glitters around her was leaning on him.

"Phew!"

Chen Fan opened his eyes slowly.

Crackling sounds were heard and his Armor of Golden Flame disappeared in the fire, showing Chen Fan's body.

Chen Fan was naked at the moment, since his clothes were shattered by the power of the nuclear bomb.

The crystal clear Divine Body started to crack. Even though the cracks were as small as spiderwebs, they were all over Chen Fan's body; he looked like a glued porcelain vase after being smashed, beautiful and fragile.

Nuclear weapons were too powerful.

Although Chen Fan wasn't right at the center of the nuclear explosion, the heat he had endured was as high as a hundred million degrees. He was only a few meters away from the bomb and the Blood Sea had weakened the power a bit, but he had borne at least half of the energy.

"If I was alone, I might not have been injured, but Jiang Churan and the Universal Teleport Door were also here."

Chen Fan heaved a sigh.

He glanced at the girl covered in silver glitters.

When the hydrogen bomb exploded, Chen Fan immediately pulled Jiang Churan into his arms and used his Defensive Divine Power to shield the area within dozens of meters with his True Essence, and put the Mercury Armor on Jiang Churan's body.

The Mercury Armor was something Chen Fan retrieved from the God-battling Team of the United States.

It had the defensive power of a Spirit Treasure and not even an energy bomb could break it. Chen Fan would have been completely fine if he had used both the Defensive Divine Power and the Mercury Armor on himself, but he had to save Jiang Churan.

"Unfortunately, my energy is weaker than it used to be. I only protected Jiang Churan, but I couldn't cover the teleport door." Chen Fan looked at the Blood Door.

It had turned into a pile of white bones.

The teleport door had always been fragile and it needed a lot of arrays for protection. It used to be guarded by the seven Blood Ancestors and nobody could enter this place. Who would have thought the Star World Corporation would suddenly detonate a nuclear bomb?

Not even the land of the True God could bear an internal nuclear explosion, not to mention a fake one without protection. The teleport door had already shattered the moment the bomb exploded.

There was even a giant pit at the bottom of the sea with Chen Fan as the center.

The pit was around a hundred meters wide, just like a meteorite crater, and the castle above them was blown into little bits. There was even a giant hole in the Blood Sea.

"The Star World Corporation? The United States?"

Chen Fan looked cold.

He had never felt so defeated since he was reborn and he even survived the battle in Warg Valley, but this nuclear explosion had nearly killed him. After all, it was a million-ton hydrogen bomb which was a hundred times more powerful than the usual nuclear weapons.

"Let's find a place to heal first, then I'll take revenge!"

Chen Fan wrapped Jiang Churan in a yellow aura and dug into the ground.

He found a valley in Eastern Romania and formed an array there to start the healing process. This time, Chen Fan was severely injured. His injuries seemed to have been made by a peak-stage Golden Core Cultivator.

The Armor of Golden Flame was shattered into pieces instantly and his Divine Body was also cracked. However, with Chen Fan's level, it would only take a couple of months for him to recover as long as he didn't die.

"Whoosh."

The strong Wood Element Spirit Qi gathered at the valley from all directions.

The small cracks on Chen Fan's body started to disappear, becoming a crystal clear gem again.

While Chen Fan was healing, the entire world went through a massive change because of the battle.

The next day.

The spokesperson of the American Army said there was a military exercise in Romania and they detonated a million-ton hydrogen bomb! The European countries condemned the United States for a bit and forgot about it.

After all, there weren't any casualties this time as the explosion took place on a wasteland.

But the underground world was stirred.

Everyone knew it wasn't a military exercise but an attack on Chen Fan. They were all waiting for the result of the nuclear explosion to see if Chen Fan was dead or not.

A few days later after the radiation was reduced, the Star World Corporation immediately sent people into the Blood Sea to see if Chen Fan was alive. However, the Blood Sea had already returned to normal and it was even more difficult to go deep inside, so the progress of the Star World Corporation's probing was slow.

As time went on, one day, two days, three days... Chen Fan had yet to show up.

"Chen Beixuan died in the nuclear explosion!"

At first, this was only a doubt of several people. Then, it became a mutual thought of the whole western world. Even though nobody had found his body, many of them said that anything close to the explosion center would have been melted; Chen Fan must have already turned into ashes.

"Don't forget about Warg Valley," someone said.

But most of them had been carried away by the joy of victory.

Countless people in the underground world were cheering for the power of modern technology and the death of Chen Fan. Not long before, Chen Fan had suppressed Europe and forced the Christian Church to yield, so his death was a total relief for the Europeans.

"Chen Beixuan indeed went to the Blood Sea and he's not a True God, so he might not have been able to survive," a Saint of the Christian Church said in public.

The others finally realized there was a Saint in the Christian Church! And the Saint's statement served them as confirmation. The entire world then believed Chen Fan was dead.

"From now on, the world has no Chen Beixuan!"

Countless people on the underground forums felt sad.

They watched Chen Fan grow and became the most powerful person in the world, an invincible legend! Still, this legend had died that day.

Both the Star World Corporation and the American Army were the ones who killed this legend.

"After all, the United States is the strongest country on Earth. No wonder the Christian Church doesn't dare to resist even if they're protected by the Saints. Their nuclear weapons are way too terrifying."

A lot of people were frightened.

Many countries in the world congratulated the United States one after another.

The Japanese Prime Minister said the United States had defended the Earth, eliminating the demon and protecting mankind.

The French President said what the United States did was right, decisive and courageous.

The British Prime Minister said the United States was still the only leader of the world.

The United States suddenly became extremely fierce and powerful as if the world had gone back to the 90s, when the Soviet Union disintegrated and the United States could do anything they wanted!

The condemnation from China didn't get any attention at all and the country seemed especially weak and lonely in front of the power of the entire world.

"North Qiong Corp is an illegal company and has caused thousands of deaths."

The United States then claimed that the Vitality Serum sold by North Qiong Corp was a poisonous drug mixed with stimulants that had caused countless deaths.

The CIA had detained Fang Qiong, the CEO of North Qiong Corp, who went to the United States for a business meeting and the Supreme Court of the United States had filed a lawsuit against her.

She was facing fifty six allegations.

That is, including seventeen murders and three crimes against humanity. Once the lawsuit was filed, Fang Qiong might be sentenced to a thousand years in prison or even death.

The North Qiong Corp branches in North America, South America and Europe were all closed down by the local governments.

Countless western media outlets started denouncing North Qiong Corp. Many members of the management were arrested and the countries even threatened China to hand over all of their staff for an international trial.

In Jin City.

The senior members of the North Qiong Sect and the Chen Family were gathered in the mansion on East Mountain.

Everyone looked enraged and worried. There had been a lot going on recently at North Qiong Corp and they had been under the pressure of the entire world. Such pressure came from more than a hundred countries, including the superpowers and dozens of developed countries.

Even China could barely withstand such a great pressure, not to mention North Qiong Corp.

"How's Xiao Qiong?" Wang Xiaoyun said with worry.

"Fang Qiong has been detained since she got off the plane. The CIA sent dozens of members of the God-battling Team led by a Soul Energy Master. Our guards wanted to fight back but that man immediately stopped them. So, Fang Qiong asked everyone to put down their weapons and stop resisting," Hua Yunfeng said.

Fang Qiong was an Ethereal Enlightenment Cultivator and her guards were even stronger, but they still weren't powerful enough to fight with the United States.

"F*k the Star World Corporation! F*k the CIA!"

A'Xiu banged on the wood table and cracked it. "We must think of a way to save her!"

"It's impossible. Fang Qiong must be locked in the most secure base in the United States. She's their trump card. Once Chen Fan comes back, they'll use her as bait to capture him," Chen Huaian shook his head calmly.

Everyone went silent.

"What about the Dragon Hall?" Wang Xiaoyun asked after a while.

"Not good. Xie Yan is already there but the American aircraft carriers have entered the Strait of Malacca and arrived in Singapore. The Lee Family has surrendered and the Dragon Hall has been occupied. Xie Yan is now leading his disciples to fight in Borneo..."

Another bad news came.

Thailand had already planned to form a coalition to go to Myanmar and exterminate the Magus Sect. Meanwhile, almost everyone in Southeast Asia was against the North Qiong Sect.

"What did the Chinese government say?"

Wang Xiaoyun felt hopeless.

"China has done everything possible. After all, it's not the most powerful country in the world. They've been so kind bearing the pressure from a hundred countries for us and not handing us over. However, pressure keeps on increasing and they might not be able to withstand it for too much longer."

Chen Huaian shook his head. "We can only rely on ourselves now."

Everyone looked at each other and saw how they shared the anxiousness and desperation in their eyes.

Was the great North Qiong Sect going down?

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

700 The Extraordinary Transformation

The threats on the outside world were increasing.

Since Chen Fan never showed up, rumors about his death seemed more like a fact. This time, the United States planned to do anything to fight till the end, whether Chen Fan was dead or not.

If they allowed Chen Fan to grow any further, not even nuclear weapons would be able to kill him in the future!

July 15th, 2012.

A million-ton hydrogen bomb exploded above the Blood Sea and Chen Fan had gone missing.

July 16th, 2012.

The American Army admitted what they did and detained Fang Qiong, North Qiong Corp's CEO. The Supreme Court of the United States made fifty six accusations against her and she could be sentenced to permanent imprisonment for every one of them.

July 18th, 2012.

Countless branches of North Qiong Corp were shut down and investigated. The company used to be the top Chinese company with a market value in the trillions, and in a heartbeat, it became the most notorious company throughout history.

July 20th, 2012.

The Ninth Fleet of the United States entered the Strait of Malacca and into Singapore. Singapore surrendered and Xie Yan led the members of the Dragon Hall out of the country, hiding deep in the forest in Malaysia. The American Army then started looking for them around Southeast Asia.

July 22nd, 2012.

With the support of the United States and Japan, Thailand formed a coalition in Myanmar to exterminate the Magus Sect.

When the United States started exerting their powers, the entire world was startled. Many countries finally realized how frightening the only superpower and the dominator of the world was!

North Qiong Corp seemed to be weak in front of the United States.

"No matter how strong a company is, they can't compare with a superpower. We didn't fight back in the past not because we didn't want to, but because we couldn't!" a Saint of the Christian Church sighed and said.

Many adjudicators were terrified.

The power of the United States was endless; only a True God could battle against this superpower. The United States had twelve aircraft carrier fleets and more than one million heavenly armed standing army, while their allies had almost ten thousand nuclear warheads.

Once the United States was determined, any country or force had to be wary!

"Even if Chen Beixuan comes back with the super weapon he used to destroy the island, he can't make the United States yield. They're determined to defend their supremacy on Earth," many predicted.

At the United Nations Security Council in New York.

"The Vitality Serum produced by North Qiong Corp is a highly toxic chemical. There are thousands of cases in the world that can prove it has killed people, and China is still trying to cover up for them!" the American Ambassador said.

"These examples have never been confirmed by the experts. We can assure you the Vitality Serum is safe and effective. North Qiong Corp is not a group of murderers..." the Chinese Special Envoy tried to explain.

"Who said it's not true? Our people drank the Vitality Serum and a hundred and thirty seven of them died. This is enough evidence!" the Japanese Ambassador said.

"Fifty nine people died in our country."

"Thirty six in ours."

"Our country..."

England, France, Germany, Italy... Many developed countries provided evidence, proving the Vitality Serum did kill a lot of people.

India even claimed that thousands of people in a village died after drinking the Vitality Serum, which made many Special Envoys raise their eyebrows. The Vitality Serum was expensive and it wasn't even sold in India!

Facing the accusations of the large countries, China couldn't deny a thing.

Power was an axiom!

When everyone said you murdered somebody, there was no way you could deny it even if you were innocent, since you didn't have the right to speak.

"If China doesn't hand over the leader of North Qiong Corp in two weeks and still tries to shelter these criminals, my nation will impose sanctions on them!" The United States used their trump card.

"We second it!" Japan was the first to agree.

"We second it!"

"We second it!"

"We second it!"

Many other countries agreed! Only the Russian Envoy shook his head and made a gesture showing he couldn't help. This time, the entire western world supported the United States and nobody could resist them.

The United States issued an ultimatum and requested the world to find the murderer in two weeks.

This also caused a great furor in the Dark World. Those who were defeated, injured or suppressed by Chen Fan also showed up.

The Divine Master of the Ise Grand Shrine said, "Not only North Qiong Corp, those from the North Qiong Sect also helped Chen Beixuan. Yukishiro Sa, A'Xiu, Yu Wenjin, Xie Yan, Hua Yunfeng... They must also be detained for the trial of the Dark World!"

The Chinese Martial Arts Community was enraged since Japan had betrayed them once again. They had never thought that Japan would be the first to mutiny before Chen Fan's body was found.

"Right! Our King of Gong Tau, Master Daxin, was a compassionate person but Chen Beixuan and Xie Yan murdered him. We can't just let them get away!" the Thai Prince said.

Then, other forces also spoke one after another.

Guru Guja of India said Chen Fan had killed his brother "Guru Rama" and was the enemy of the entire Brahmin, so they also thought the North Qiong Sect should pay for his sin.

Other organizations like the Diablo Mercenary Band and the Crimson Wings also said that Chen Fan had killed their former leader and that the North Qiong Sect was going to pay for it.

Soon, almost half of the organizations in the Dark World stepped forward to condemn the North Qiong Sect.

Chen Fan had made too many enemies around the world. Some families and sects in China thought Chen Beixuan had killed too many people and that China shouldn't help him.

The major families in Yan Jin also wanted to do something.

When Chen Fan was there, they dared not to do anything stupid, but once he died, they had no concerns anymore. If it wasn't for Ye Qincang, the Xiao Family and the Wang Family would have already dealt with North Qiong Corp.

Even so, Wang Keqin of the Wang Family still came up and said, "North Qiong Corp is indeed harmful to the people and the country. We should hand over the senior members of the company to quell the world's anger."

These news hit North Qiong Corp hard, but then another more crucial news was swiftly spread across the world.

Saint Francis of the Christian Church addressed the public.

Chen Fan had taken many secret treasures and books from the Christian Church and humiliated them. So, Saint Francis was going to lead the bishops to the North Qiong Sect and settle the accounts.

The world was stunned once the news came out.

Countless Overlords in the Dark World, including many Immortal State Warriors, came from around the world to gather at the North Qiong Sect!

In a blink, the North Qiong Sect became the enemy of the world.

And yet, Chen Fan, who was hiding in a valley in Romania, was completely unaware of that.

The most important thing for him right then was to heal. The nuclear weapon had been too powerful and it almost destroyed his Divine Body.

"Whoosh."

Some Wood Element Spirit Qi came from all directions.

The Azure Thearch Longevity Body was famous for its "longevity" and had one of the top recovering abilities among the Divine Bodies. With sufficient Wood Element Spirit Qi, Chen Fan could recover even if he had become a skeleton.

The cracks on his body started to heal.

"No, it's going too slow. I'll need at least three months to recover completely but I can't wait for that! The United States won't stop once they start their plan. I wonder how Xiao Qiong and my parents are doing."

Chen Fan was anxious.

He hesitated for a bit and finally took six red pearls from the Blade Strengthening Gourd.

There were blood red flames burning in the pearls.

"What's that?" Jiang Churan asked.

"The essence of the Kindred. When the six Blood Ancestors died, I took their essence with Dharmic Power and was planning to make elixirs and a pot of medicines out of it, but I don't have time to do that now. I will simply consume them," Chen Fan explained, then swallowed them and initiated the Swallowing Divine Power.

After all, the Kindred weren't the descendants of Divine Beasts and there was a lot of evil energy in their blood. If Chen Fan used their essence to make medicines, he would be able to adapt slowly to the transformation, and if he took them all at once, there would be some side effects. Still, he had no time to waste.

"Boom!"

How powerful was the essence of the six Kindred?

The energy was even stronger than the Swallowing Divine Power Chen Fan had used in the Deity Burial Valley. After all, the Kindred was a race from the universe and two of them were mid-stage Connate Beings.

"Swish!"

A red flame came out of the cracks on Chen Fan's body. This red flame carried the purest blood power and an extremely dark energy. Countless illusions appeared in front of Chen Fan as if there were some devils trying to drag him down to Hell.

Chen Fan sat in the fire cross-legged and the azure aura around his body became calmer.

Refining his body with demon's fire!

His body healed continuously inside the Hellfire.

Many wounds healed and he seemed to be much stronger than he used to be. In the end, Chen Fan turned into an azure gem enveloped in the blood red fire. He was undergoing an extraordinary transformation, achieving a Divine Body of a higher level.

One day, two days, three days...

One week, two weeks, three weeks...

A month later when Jiang Churan almost finished the Essence Gathering Pills and thought Chen Fan wouldn't wake up.

He opened his eyes.

"Bang!"

Two bolts of lightning struck the cave.

A red flame burnt in Chen Fan's eyes like true Hellfire.

He got up slowly with an extremely powerful energy exuding from his body. It seemed as if he were going to tear the sky apart, then shake the sun and the moon! His azure Divine Body shone brighter, and some red and golden threads were entwined around it, making the body seem immortal.

"It's time for revenge!" Chen Fan said coldly.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

701 Before Mount North Qiong!

The ultimatum given by the United States and the Christian Church was getting closer.

North Qiong Corp and the North Qiong Sect had prepared for the worst. Several members of North Qiong Corp's management, including Zheng Anqi, Lu Yanwu, Zhou Jinyi and Cheng Danqin, had been evacuated and taken to the Sword Palace.

Many members of the Chen Family like Chen An, Chen Ning and Chen Guoguo also left.

Hua Yunfeng, Yukishiro Sa, A'Xiu and some of the others were still on East Mountain, waiting for the Christian Church and the Immortal State Warriors. They had never told the world that Chen Huaian had become an Earth Level Deity and this had become the North Qiong Sect's last card.

"Madam, you should also go to the Sword Palace. We'll stay here," Hua Yunfeng said.

Wang Xiaoyun shook her head. "Xiao Fan has spent his whole life running North Qiong Corp and the North Qiong Sect. As his mother, it's my responsibility to keep them going no matter if he's dead or not."

"Let Xiaoyun stay. She has reached the Ethereal Enlightenment State. She can help," Chen Huaian said.

The old man seemed to be connected to the thunder in the sky and his energy was surging endlessly. In just two months, Chen Huaian had reached a higher level; even an experienced Earth Level Deity would be stunned by his progress.

"Right, we'll stay."

An Ya nodded firmly.

In the end, only Hua Yunfeng, Yukishiro Sa, A'Xiu, Chen Huaian, Wang Xiaoyun and Qian Yexue stayed in the mansion on East Mountain, while the others were all sent away.

Half of the forces of the North Qiong Sect were in Southeast Asia.

However, the American Army stationed there had already arrived and was going after Xie Yan and the Dragon Hall. Some said that the leader of the American Wise Men came in person and many wondered if he was the CEO of the Star World Corporation, Brooke.

"Don't worry, we have our old man and the Green Dragon Grand Array. We can hide inside the array if anything goes wrong. I don't think that one Saint from the Christian Church can defeat the North Qiong Sect."

Hua Yunfeng snickered.

The time had come.

On August 15th, 2012, the former Pope of the Christian Church, Saint Francis, led the nine Immortal State Bishops and many other members of the Religious Court to East Mountain, to meet the North Qiong Sect.

Before the Saint of the Christian Church arrived, countless Overlords from the Dark World had gathered around East Mountain.

"There are so many people! I didn't know Chen Beixuan had offended this many," White Tiger said.

In front of him was a crowd that surrounded the mountain.

Many Dark Overlords from the West, Africa, the Middle East and Japan, who held grudges against Chen Fan, were there. Since Chen Fan was dead, they wanted to vent their hatred on the North Qiong Sect.

"Have you evacuated the residents around the area?" Azure Dragon asked.

"Don't worry. This is the suburb of Jin City; there are only a few mansions. Everyone has evacuated and our troops have set a restricted area around the periphery, saying that there's a military exercise. The residents won't come here," Red Sparrow said seriously.

Having so many Dark Overlords and the Christian Church paying a visit was a massive load for Kunlun. The Special Department almost mobilized everyone to East Mountain, except Ye Qincang who had to stay in Yan Jin.

Black Tortoise frowned and said, "The North Qiong Sect might have some top warriors, but the Christian Church has a Saint. How can they fight with the Christian Church?"

"Father told me Chen Beixuan always plans ahead. He must have left something for them," Ye Nantian said.

Then, there was a commotion.

A beam of light swept across the sky and landed on East Mountain.

A bald elder, who was skinny and covered in gold, appeared.

"It's 'Guru Guja' of the Indian Brahmin. Chen Beixuan killed his brother Guru Rama and he's coming for revenge," someone yelled.

Guru Guja remained silent.

Some people wondered why he didn't take revenge when Chen Fan was there, but they didn't dare say it out loud.

Soon, more Immortal State Warriors arrived from all directions.

"The Priest of the God of Gold Temple."

"The Divine Master of the Ise Grand Shrine."

"The elder of the Russian War Wolves."

"The Patriarch of the Druid Sect of Northern Europe..."

All Immortal State Overlords were shining bright.

Everyone else was shocked. They thought there weren't many Immortal State Warriors left on Earth after Chen Fan killed plenty of them, but a dozen showed up that day.

"Boom!"

A pure white light shone over the mountain.

"The Christian Church is here."

Countless people, including the Immortal State Overlords, got up and looked over.

A wood ship flew in the sky, coming towards them. The ship was made of some unknown Divine Wood and was covered in white sacred glitters, like the legendary Noah's Ark.

"It's a sacred ship! I heard that the Saints of the Christian Church would tour the world on this ship in the past. It can float in the air for a week without falling. I can't believe they brought it here," someone exclaimed.

The rest were dumbfounded. They had never seen such a Dharma Treasure in modern society.

"Boom!"

The sacred ship landed and nine bishops came out. Every one of them was surrounded by sacred light, with power comparable to an Immortal State Warrior.

"The nine Immortal State Bishops!"

Many people gasped and those of the North Qiong Sect were startled.

Then, a blonde adjudicator helped an elder get off. The elder had no sense of life, just like a dead tree, but everyone knew him.

"Saint Francis, the 42nd Pope!"

"Ahem."

The elder coughed and said with his narrowed eyes, "Chen Beixuan took dozens of Sacred Artifacts and secret books from the Christian Church in the Vatican. Please give them back to us."

"Hm! Master doesn't need any Sacred Artifacts. Why would he care about them? You're lying," A'Xiu said.

Guru Guja stepped forward and said, "But everyone knows Chen Beixuan killed my brother Guru Rama."

"Right, he caught five of our Demon Gods to make a Spirit Artifact which made the Ise Grand Shrine the only one left among the six shrines. The North Qiong Sect must admit what he did," the Divine Master of the Ise Grand Shrine shouted.

"And Europe."

"And Thailand..."

The Immortal State Warriors made accusations against the North Qiong Sect one by one.

All other Immortal State Warriors, except the elder of the War Wolves, supported the Christian Church and those of the North Qiong Sect looked cold.

Many of the Immortal State Warriors in fact didn't bear any grudges against Chen Fan, like the Priest of the God of Gold Temple. Chen Fan had never been to South American but the Priest claimed that Chen Fan killed one of their disciples during the battle with the Black Sea Fleet.

"If you want to exterminate the North Qiong Sect, then fight with us."

Hua Yunfeng came forward and his Burning Cloud Qi Energy surged to the sky like fire.

He had already entered the Immortal State, and after two years of cultivation, he had reached the mid-stage Divine Sea. Seeing this sight, many were frightened.

"Come on!"

Yukishiro Sa, A'Xiu, An Ya, Wang Xiaoyun and Qian Yexue were all ready.

Every one of them had practiced cultivation arts and entered the Ethereal Enlightenment State. Together with many Spirit Artifacts, their power was comparable to the Immortal State Warriors. Besides, some Immortal State Warriors hesitated after seeing Tong Shan, who looked like the incarnation of the Tiger God, standing there quietly.

Hua Yunfeng seemed to be powerful.

Qian Yexue was even more famous and was a Goddess from Kunxu.

Tong Shan was even more powerful. His Tiger Demon's Physique Refinement Art was enough to tear an Immortal State Warrior apart. The giant axe in his hand was full of Malice Qi, making the others feel terrified.

"The North Qiong Sect is indeed the top sect in the world. They're too powerful," many mumbled.

These people could definitely defeat all the Overlords present.

"Hah..."

The elder then heaved a sigh, took a step forward and stretched out his left hand. "God has mercy on the world, but people are ignorant and disrespectful."

"Boom!"

An endless Sacred Power came out of the elder's body! The entire East Mountain shook violently as if it were going to collapse.

A Sacred Light Giant Hand dozens of meters large fell from the sky and headed towards the members of the North Qiong Sect like God's hand.

Before the hand arrived, its terrifying energy had frightened everyone and Tong Shan even roared as an image of the Tiger Demon appeared behind him.

"This is the power of a Saint. He can crush all the Immortal State Warriors."

Countless people were terrified.

The world could finally see the attack of a Connate Being after Chen Fan battled with Ye Qincang and killed the Blood Ancestors.

"Boom!"

The Tiger Demon rose and tried to protect everybody, but the giant hand smacked it down immediately. When the Sacred Light Giant Hand was about to smash the members of the North Qiong Sect...

Suddenly, a giant hand appeared and lifted the Sacred Light Giant Hand.

"You're a guest. Isn't it rude for you to do such a thing?"

An old man's voice came from afar.

Saint Francis was stunned.

"What?"

Everyone was shocked.

An elder, who was wearing a formal attire like a Sage, came out of the crowd. Every move he made seemed to be carrying the energy of the world and he was floating in the air.

"An Earth Level Deity?"

Those who knew what this meant gasped.

Apart from Chen Fan, there was another Earth Level Deity in the North Qiong Sect? This was totally beyond everyone's imagination! Even Red Sparrow and White Tiger were dumbfounded.

"Isn't that Chen Huaian? When did he become an Earth Level Deity?"

Red Sparrow's eyes popped out.

"So, this is the trump card General talked about. Chen Beixuan is indeed unpredictable," Azure Dragon said.

Being able to make an old man become an Earth Level Deity, Chen Fan's power was unimaginable!

"There's an Earth Level Deity in the North Qiong Sect. Does it mean that they will win the battle again?"

People's hearts sank.

An Earth Level Deity had the strongest battling power and even a dozen Immortal State Warriors would be unable to defeat him.

Everyone looked at the Christian Church to see what they would do.

"I didn't know there was another Earth Level Deity in the North Qiong Sect! I've underestimated Chen Beixuan." The elder heaved a sigh and suddenly smiled. "Luckily, I've prepared for it. My Lord, it's your turn to shine."

Phew.

A barefoot, blue-eyed young man came out.

A pair of realistic ten-meter wings spread on his back. The young man was like an incarnation of an Entity and was much stronger than Francis. The pure Gift of Light in his body astonished everyone else.

"This is..."

Chen Huaian looked serious.

"An angel?"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

702 Those Who Offended the North Qiong Sect Must Die!

"An angel?"

Not only Chen Huaian, everyone else shouted.

The wings on the back of the son of God were realistic and they had not been formed by Divine Arts. He looked very similar to the legendary angels. And yet, angels were only myths and had been extinct for thousands of years. Why would he show up here?

"My name's Alan, the son of God," the son of God said with an aria-like sound. It was the first time they heard the language he used, but they immediately understood what he said.

He was the son of God?

The Christian Church was unbelievable. They had been hiding an angel!

"Master once told me that there used to be many angels in the world. Looks like it's true," Hua Yunfeng said.

All the faces of the North Qiong Sect's members paled after this.

The power of Alan was earth-shattering! He was the descendant of God and an angel. Could Chen Huaian really fight with him?

They found that Chen Huaian looked extremely serious and bolts of lightning gathered behind him. Even though he had achieved the Thunder King Body and completed the "Thunder Soul Sutra" Chen Fan passed down to him, he was in a desperate situation, facing a Saint and an angel.

"Boom!"

Alan started attacking.

He summoned the Holy Cross Light Blade and spread his wings, flying into the sky. Then, he slashed, creating a white blade aura of dozens of feet long.

The white blade aura was like a giant Holy Cross Light Blade!

The Light Blade was like the weapon of God and was powerful enough to crush a mountain.

"Divine Art, Art of the Holy Cross!"

Everyone was terrified and even Azure Dragon was astonished. Alan was way stronger than Francis and Ye Qincang; his slash was comparable to the attack of Earth Level Deity Leixing.

Chen Huaian stepped forward and yelled, "Divine Thunder of the sky, hear my command."

"Boom!"

Thunderclouds gathered and a dozen flashes of lightning struck around Chen Huaian. The thunderbolts formed a cage which protected the members of the North Qiong Sect.

"Boom!"

The Holy Cross Light Blade struck the thunderbolt, creating a thunderous sound.

The impact spread all over East Mountain. Rocks collapsed, trees were crushed and the tip of the mountain was cut off. Many mansions even shattered into dust.

A mushroom cloud rose as if a small-scale nuclear explosion had been detonated.

Those under the mountain were terrified after seeing this happen.

"Boom!"

Chen Huaian was pushed backwards and his face turned red.

Although he practiced the original cultivation arts, he had just entered the Connate Level, while the son of God seemed to have endless Sacred Power.

"If the North Qiong Sect hands over all their cultivation arts and stays in the Vatican to confess for ten years, I can forgive your sins," Pope Francis said.

"No way!" Chen Huaian shouted as he shot out thunderbolts from his eyes. "Again."

Boom.

This time, he shot into the sky and cast a spell to summon lightning. Countless thunderbolts then gathered around and the sky became a sea of lightning. There were even lightning dragons flying around.

Chen Huaian used his full power to exhibit a deadly tactic from the "Thunder Soul Sutra." He formed a cage with the thunderbolts trying to capture Alan, but Alan seemed calm; he wielded the Holy Cross Light Blade in his hand.

Beams of white light shot across the sky with an energy that could break anything.

The white light immediately broke the cage and blocked all the attacks. Then, the Wind Thunder Wings appeared on Chen Huaian's back and he controlled the storms and thunder. His eyes let out azure light, trying to paralyze Alan with his "Electric Azure Eyes."

But the body of an angel was too strong.

Alan withstood Chen Huaian's Divine Power with his own body.

"Bang!"

Thirty seconds later, Alan smacked Chen Huaian down from the sky with his Punishment Sword Art. Chen Huaian spurted out blood and fell on East Mountain, creating a giant pit.

"Father!"

"Sir!"

Wang Xiaoyun and the others were anxious.

"I'm fine."

Chen Huaian got up but there was still blood on his lips and a long wound on his shoulder, which was shining white light and couldn't be healed.

Alan was unpredictable and Chen Huaian was no match for him.

"What do you think? If you're willing to confess, I'll forgive the North Qiong Sect," Francis said again.

"The North Qiong Sect will not give in!"

A'Xiu stepped forward.

Hua Yunfeng, Wang Xiaoyun, Yukishiro Sa and An Ya also came up with determination in their eyes. Seeing this sight, Qian Yexue sighed and decided to stand with them as well.

"Stubborn."

White light shone in the eyes of Francis and he stretched his hand out.

This time, his power was even stronger and the Sacred Light Giant Hand covered the entire sky like a thundercloud. When Chen Huaian was about to attack, Alan stopped him immediately.

"Growl."

There came the sound of a dragon.

A white dragon flew out of the clouds and it stopped Saint Francis with its claws.

"Is this the spirit of the Green Dragon Grand Array? I'm prepared for it."

Saint Francis burst into laughter.

The Sacred Power in his body surged out and he took out a staff. It was apparently a superior-grade Sacred Artifact which carried a large amount of Gift of Light. As he attacked with the staff, the White Drake screamed and the scales on its body fell off.

After all, it hadn't reached the Connate Level and was only fighting with Francis with the power of the array.

"Bang, bang."

Four Connate Overlords battled in the sky.

The entire sky was covered in thunderbolts and white light, and the Essence Qi was rolling. Compared to Alan and Francis, Chen Huaian and the White Drake seemed to be losing ground.

"Growl."

The Divine Soul of the White Drake was cracked by Francis' "Great Collapse" and its hundred-meter body exploded. Only its spirit returned to the array and it wouldn't be able to recover in a short while.

Then, Chen Huaian was knocked down on the ground by Alan. He spat blood and couldn't stand anymore.

In a blink, the North Qiong Sect fell into a desperate situation.

"He lost after all."

Azure Dragon heaved a sigh.

"The Christian Church is too powerful. Aside from a Saint, they also have an angel. I'm afraid even Chen Beixuan would be helpless against them." White Tiger shook his head.

"That's it?" Red Sparrow lowered her head and tears welled up in her eyes.

Many Dark Overlords were cheering. The Christian Church had defeated the North Qiong Sect and the West had won the battle.

The Divine Master of the Ise Grand Shrine laughed and said, "From now on, the North Qiong Sect doesn't exist on Earth anymore."

"Not only do we want to eliminate Chen Beixuan, but also his sect."

The Patriarch of the Hong Sect smiled with hatred. Even though he had changed a body, he had only reached the early stage of the Immortal State. If Chen Fan had not died, he would have never shown up.

"Kill!"

Guru Guja stepped forward.

The nine Immortal State Bishops were also ready to attack the North Qiong Sect with their Divine Arts.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a golden blade aura was shot from afar at an unimaginable speed.

The blade aura pierced through Guru Guja's head, which immediately separated it from his body. The Divine Soul of this superior Yoga Guru from India was also destroyed.

"This is?"

Many Immortal State Warriors were startled.

Even Saint Francis was stunned and he looked down.

Many Dark Overlords down the mountain suddenly fell one after another, just like wheat harvested by farmers. A young man in a black shirt came with his hands behind his back. He had dark hair and there seemed to be a red fire burning in his black eyes.

"Chen Beixuan?"

Seeing that young man, countless people yelled.

Chen Fan was a famous figure and everyone in the Dark World knew him.

Many Immortal State Warriors turned pale and the Divine Master of the Ise Grand Shrine even fell from the sky.

"It's really Chen Beixuan?"

Red Sparrow couldn't believe it.

And those of the North Qiong Sect cheered.

"Master is back!" A'Xiu shouted. Yukishiro Sa and An Ya were also thrilled.

Chen Huaian cracked a smile as he coughed up blood.

"I knew my grandson wouldn't die so easily!"

Chen Fan came forward while everyone's terrified eyes looked at him.

After each step he took, a dozen people would be shocked to death by an invisible energy, and the golden flying sword also slaughtered an Immortal State Warrior in the sky.

"Thud."

Chen Fan took seventeen steps at once.

Seventeen Immortal State Overlords fell from the sky and hundreds of Dark Overlords in the mountain died. A river of blood appeared within the crowd.

The eighteenth step!

Chen Fan arrived at the top of East Mountain.

The hundred Dark Overlords around him turned into blood mist! And the three Immortal State Warriors of the Christian Church in the sky were split in half.

Countless Dark Overlords were screaming and escaping.

Walking on blood!

"Chen Beixuan?"

Francis narrowed his eyes as if he were facing a formidable enemy! Even Alan frowned.

Nobody had thought that Chen Fan would appear on East Mountain without any injuries. It was unbelievable!

"Grandpa, Mom, are you alright?"

Chen Fan ignored Alan and Francis, and looked at all the members of the North Qiong Sect.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Chen Huaian laughed as he coughed up blood, but his face was full of joy. "Your grandpa can still live for five centuries!"

Wang Xiaoyun and An Ya nodded with their teary eyes.

Chen Fan turned around and glanced at the son of God with his cold eyes. He sneered and said, "I let you go in the Vatican that day and you really think that I dare not to kill?"

"Today, I'll warn the world with the blood of an angel."

"Those who offended the North Qiong Sect must die!"

Clang!

Chen Fan pulled out the Purple Thunder Blade.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

703 Astonishing the World

When the Purple Thunder Blade slashed.

All the thunderbolts around East Mountain struck the black blade, turning into a ten feet long purple lightning dragon.

"Why is he still alive?"

The Patriarch of the Hong Sect trembled and he wanted to escape.

More than twenty Immortal State Overlords had shown up, and Chen Fan had killed twenty one of them, leaving the Patriarch of the Hong Sect, the Divine Master of the Ise Grand Shrine and the adjudicator of the Christian Church.

"We must kill Chen Beixuan, or none of us will be able to get away," the adjudicator grunted.

Chen Fan was too powerful. The nine Immortal State Warriors of the Christian Church were annihilated in this battle and there were probably just a few Immortal State Warriors left in the entire world.

Francis looked extremely serious with the Light Divine Staff in his hand and he used several Divine Arts on himself, while Alan raised his Light Blade.

"Kill!"

This time, Chen Fan didn't say anything.

In a heartbeat, the three Connate Overlords clashed against one another.

The terrifying lightning dragons flew in the sky and bolts of lightning struck. When the power of a Quasi-Spirit Treasure reached the maximum, even the most powerful Blood Ancestor couldn't withstand the attacks.

"Clank!"

Chen Fan slashed Francis down from the sky.

The blade aura exploded and cracked the Defensive Dharma Spells on Francis' body. If his linen robe didn't let out some holy light to block the Blade Qi, he would have been killed.

The Saint Robe, a superior-grade Spirit Robe, had an astonishing defensive power.

However, Chen Fan didn't care about it at all. He kept attacking and thunderbolts continued striking from the sky, crushing the rocks and cracking the ground.

"Help me."

Francis was terrified.

Even though the Saint Robe was a Dharma Artifact from the former Saints of the Christian Church and was protected by a powerful energy, it couldn't withstand Chen Fan's violent attacks. Francis spurted out blood every time Chen Fan slashed at him, and the robe became brighter and brighter.

"Clang!"

Alan flapped his wings and blocked Chen Fan's attack with his Holy Cross Light Blade.

"Boom!"

A terrifying energy exploded at the contact point of the Light Blade and the Thunder Blade.

All the rocks at the peak of East Mountain collapsed and countless trees and buildings shattered. Hua Yunfeng and the others immediately hid inside the Green Dragon Grand Array, but those at the foot of the mountain weren't so lucky. They were heavily hit by the energy.

"Crack!"

Alan's Light Blade broke.

It was only formed by Divine Art, so how could it withstand the power of a Quasi-Spirit Treasure?

But it had bought some time for Francis to recover and he came fiercely with the Light Divine Staff, letting out several Divine Arts.

"The Great Collapse."

"The Blade of Divine Light."

"The Grand Adjudication Art."

These Divine Arts had been passed down from the ancient times. Some of them had been completed by the Saints of the Christian Church in the past and more were created by their founder. They were all powerful, especially the Great Collapse which could dissociate anything into particles.

And yet, Chen Fan went against the Divine Arts directly with his body and he only shook slightly.

After consuming the essence of the six Blood Ancestors, his Divine Body had become much stronger and more unpredictable.

"Go to hell!"

Chen Fan drew a semi-circle in the air with his blade and slashed seven times. Each slash created a thin blade aura which was formed by bolts of lightning; each looked like a purple light wave.

The wave swept across the sky and the air shook as if it was overwhelmed.

Seeing how terrifying Chen Fan's attack was, Francis raised the staff and said quietly, "The Angel's Advent."

A pair of white wings spread on his back like angel's wings.

The wings wrapped Francis in them and formed a giant ball of light.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Seven blade auras hit the light ball one after another and the sky was filled with sparkles. Even though the Angel's Advent was a top Divine Art of the Christian Church and was said to be able to survive the attack of a missile, it seemed to be a bit overwhelmed under Chen Fan's attack.

After the first slash, the wings cracked.

After the third slash, the light ball broke.

After the fifth slash, the blade aura tore the Saint Robe apart.

After the seventh slash, Francis was knocked away.

A slit appeared on his forehead and extended down to his left leg, almost splitting him in half. If the Light Divine Staff didn't block a slash for him at the critical moment, he would have been killed.

"Sthh."

Many people gasped after seeing this.

Francis was the former Pope, the Saint of the Christian Church and had a Divine Artifact, but he couldn't even withstand one attack from Chen Fan. Chen Fan's seven slashes were in fact one slash which created seven layers of energy. At his current level, he could make fascinating attacks with any weapon.

Azure Dragon said seriously, "Chen Beixuan is really shocking the world this time."

At the same time, Alan had started attacking again, trying to stop Chen Fan.

"Clang, clang, clang."

The two of them battled in the sky.

Both Chen Fan and Alan were going beyond three times the speed of sound! A beam of white light and a flash of lightning interlaced in the air.

Every time they clashed...

Rocks shattered and the earth collapsed.

A hundred meters of East Mountain were cut off when they fought and they even seemed to be able to level the entire mountain. Apparently, the son of God was way more powerful than Francis was.

He was holding the Holy Cross Sacred Sword.

It was the sword of the ancient Roman guards and was as long as the height of two humans. There were holy flames covering it; it created bursts of fire and a thunderous sound every time it slashed.

"A Quasi-Spirit Treasure?"

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.

Only a Quasi-Spirit Treasure could remain intact after clashing continuously with the Thunder Blade.

The son of God must have been adored by his father which was why he was given a Quasi-Spirit Treasure.

"This sword is called the 'Heavenly Fury.' It was made by my father with the icy iron from Hell and the fire from Heaven. The day it was completed, it started a fire all over a mountain and it took ten days to put it out."

Alan said arrogantly, "Mortal, you're powerful and fortunate enough to see this Divine Sword."

"How dare you be as haughty as I am? I've even killed the Gods of the Light Race."

Chen Fan sneered.

The Light Race was a large race in the universe which occupied countless planets. They promoted their beliefs and had certainly confronted mankind.

Chen Fan used to represent the True Martial Celestial Sect in the wars. In one occasion, he had battled with twelve Gods of the Light Race all by himself and killed seven of them in the end, astonishing the universe.

"How dare you blaspheme against God!"

There was anger in Alan's blue eyes.

The Gods of the Light Race were Void Returning Beings and had an extremely high status among their people. What Chen Fan said was akin to humiliating the idols of a follower.

"Divine Retribution Sword!"

Alan slashed with all his might.

The Holy Cross Sacred Sword was surrounded by milky fire which seemed like it could even refine the air! The fire was pure and comparable to the Kylin Fire. Not even Earth Level Deity Leixing would have dared to fight the sword directly.

Fire and lightning were twining around the ten-feet-long Holy Cross Light Blade and fell from the sky as if the retribution from Heaven had come.

"Blade!"

Chen Fan vibrated the Thunder Blade.

Claps of thunder immediately came.

A terrifying lightning came out of the black blade and turned into a dragon, flashing towards Alan. In a blink, only the milky fire and purple lightning were left in the sky.

"Boom!"

The fire and lightning exploded and seemed to have crushed the sky.

A powerful energy cut off the tip of the mountain and a massive mushroom cloud rose as if another nuclear bomb had exploded. The few thousand Dark Overlords quickly escaped from East Mountain and the slowest were smashed by the energy.

"It's terrifying!"

Countless people were trembling.

The battle between Chen Fan and Alan completely showed how powerful peak-stage Earth Level Deities were. Even Ye Qincang and Francis were as weak as children in front of them.

The Patriarch of the Hong Sect said, "Who's going to win?"

Everyone widened their eyes and saw a man shooting across the sky like a meteorite, clashing into a mountain thousands of meters away.

That man had wings on his back and was wearing a white robe, which was apparently Alan.

Meanwhile, his lips were bleeding, feathers were coming off from his wings and there was a mark on his chest. The purple lightning had hit him squarely, almost splitting him in half.

"The son of God lost?"

The adjudicator couldn't believe it.

And the hearts of countless Dark Overlords sank.

Even Alan, who had a Sacred Sword, lost to Chen Fan. So, who else could be a match for him? Them?

"Whoosh!"

The Divine Master of the Ise Grand Shrine immediately created a black mist and ran away.

A cold voice was heard, "Since you're already here, give me your life."

"Boom!"

Then, there was a clap of thunder.

The Divine Master was struck by a thunderbolt; this Japanese Grand Onmyoji didn't even have time to scream.

Bolts of thunder continued to strike from the sky.

The Patriarch of the Hong Sect and the adjudicator were then also struck.

"No!"

Francis screamed as he turned into a white ray of light, trying to escape. Although he was injured, he was a Saint after all and he had the Light Divine Staff. His speed broke the sonic barrier; he wanted to run away while Chen Fan was resting!

"Go to hell!"

Even though Chen Fan had not appeared, a blade aura had struck Francis from an unbelievable angle. The Saint of the Christian Church was frightened; he was split in half together with the staff. His Divine Soul was also smashed into little bits.

The Saint had been killed with a slash!

Countless Overlords at East Mountain were left dumbfounded and speechless.

Chen Fan had astonished the world!

704 Kill All Enemies Before Stopping

"Dead, all dead!" a Japanese Kendo Master looked up and mumbled.

The Patriarch of the Hong Sect, Guru Guja, the Divine Master of the Ise Grand Shrine, the adjudicator... Chen Fan killed these famous, powerful Immortal State Overlords easily! The former Pope and Saint, Francis, was also dead.

East Mountain was flooded with the blood of the Overlords.

That day's battle had shocked the world and frightened the Dark World.

But it wasn't the end!

Chen Fan walked out of the smoke with the Thunder Blade and his eyes seemed to be burning. Those from the Christian Church had attacked the North Qiong Sect when he was injured and threatened to exterminate them; Chen Fan was determined to completely eliminate this threat.

"Swish!"

Alan flew from the ground.

His blue eyes glanced over Francis' body. "Mortal, how dare you kill the messenger of God! You've committed a sin, and when God comes to the mortal world someday, you'll be sent to Hell forever."

"If there's a God, I'll just kill him!" Chen Fan said.

There was disdain and viciousness on his face! The North Mystic Celestial Lord dominated the universe, killing countless Entities and exterminated many large races. How would he be afraid of a so-called "God?"

That person would at most be a Golden Core or a Nascent Soul Cultivator at most.

Alan lowered his head and prayed, "Mortal who blasphemes against God, you'll confess and see the greatness of God in the end."

"I was planning to turn the six Blood Ancestors into a peerless medicine, but I've used them because of you. So now, I'll use you, the descendant of the Light Race, instead!"

Chen Fan smiled and came forward.

The blood of the Light Race was much purer than that of the Kindred and could definitely be made into a peerless Treasure Medicine.

"How dare you!"

There was unprecedented anger in Alan's eyes.

The Sacred Sword in his hand suddenly started burning and turned into a Holy Sword of dozens of meters long. As the son of God and an angel, Alan had always been superior and despised humans as if they were ants. Nobody had threatened to make him into medicines in all his life.

"Bomb!"

The battle began again.

This time, Chen Fan didn't hold back anymore.

His True Essence was infused into the Thunder Blade and formed an earth-shattering blade aura. The entire sky turned into a sea of lightning and countless purple thunderbolts struck like golden snakes.

Alan also started exerting himself. His eyes, ears and nostrils let out beams of holy light and his wings became blades, making a cross-shaped blade aura in the sky!

Alan was only a mid-stage Connate Being.

But the Light Race was a large race in the universe and Alan's blood came from a True God, which was pure and much better than that of the normal members. So, he was even stronger than Earth Level Deity Leixing in terms of battling power.

"Dong, dong, dong."

Every time the Sacred Sword and the Thunder Blade clashed, a sound resembling a giant drum was heard.

The white light and the purple lightning were intertwined. They fell into the ground, then went deep inside East Mountain and finally came back out to the sky. A gap of several kilometers long appeared along the way and countless Dark Overlords were crushed into pieces.

"Bang!"

Chen Fan slashed from afar with great power and struck Alan.

"Defend!"

A white aura appeared behind Alan. There was someone with a pair of wings behind his back inside the white aura, carrying a terrifying energy. The four wings then enveloped Alan and formed a Light Holy Ball.

"Clang!"

The blade aura clashed with the Holy Ball, creating countless light waves.

"This is?"

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.

"This is a Protection Divine Art my father granted to me. It carries his power and not even dozens of Earth Level Deities can break it," Alan said.

As the son of God who came to Earth, how would he have no trump cards? This Protection Divine Art was very similar to the "Angel's Advent" Francis had cast but it was ten times more powerful.

"Is that so?" Chen Fan yelled.

The Thunder Blade suddenly turned into a hundred-meter lightning dragon, making nine consecutive attacks, which were much more powerful than the previous ones.

Nine lightning dragons roared and flashed towards the Light Holy Ball.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The Light Holy Ball shook violently and many feathers fell off, but it withstood the attacks! Qian Yexue was frightened. She knew that Chen Fan's slashes were powerful enough to kill Earth Level Deities and even Earth Level Deity Leixing couldn't survive the attacks from the nine swords together.

"It's useless. This Divine Art came from a True God and is enough to withstand any attack. Unless you become a True God, you can never break this shield."

Alan smiled with disdain.

A True God was a Golden Core Cultivator. None lived on Earth, not even in the secret lands! Those who had reached the Golden Core Level had already left the planet to travel across the universe.

This time, even Chen Fan frowned and stopped attacking.

Yukishiro Sa and A'Xiu were also anxious. Was something going to happen?

"Chen Beixuan, you're powerful and unique among mortals! I can see my father in you, but you shouldn't offend us. Just wait for your trial!"

Alan heaved a sigh, then turned around and left.

"Wait," Chen Fan said.

"Why? Do you want to apologize? It's too late," Alan said.

Chen Fan rubbed his chin and replied, "No, I'm thinking how I can break your turtle shell without hurting you. After all, I still have to use you to make medicine."

He wasn't joking.

Chen Fan could certainly make attacks comparable to those of a Golden Core Cultivator, with the "Five Elements Thunder" in the Five-Elemental Divine Seal and or a small nuclear weapon he got in Russia.

Alan would die if Chen Fan used both weapons.

"Fine! This attack was actually prepared for those from the Realm of Kunxu, but I'll let you see it first."

Chen Fan sighed and stepped forward, slashing with the Thunder Blade.

"Crack."

A black blade aura appeared.

It was three feet long and was covered in flashes of purple lightning. In the end, it became black in color and the sky was filled with thunderbolts.

Looking through Chen Fan, there was an ancient God standing in the sea of lightning with a sword, who could split the air with a slash!

"Is this... the 'Thunder Divine Blade' in the 'Thunder Soul Sutra?'" Chen Huaian exclaimed as his eyes popped out.

The Thunder Divine Blade!

A sword art the ancient God of Thunder had used to dominate the universe. It was said to be able to kill a Perfected Immortal! During the heyday of the God of Thunder, he had used it to split a Divine Beast in half.

"Bang!"

Right when Alan's face was still full of disdain.

The black blade aura had struck the Light Holy Ball.

The four angel's wings were supposed to be powerful enough to withstand an attack of a missile, but the black blade cracked them as easily as cutting butter. The blade aura then swept across the air and hit Alan.

"No!"

Alan widened his eyes and couldn't believe what he had seen.

There were eight Protection Divine Arts on his body but they had all been broken by the Thunder Divine Blade. In the end, the blade drew an arc and cut off the wings on his back.

"Arrh!"

Alan screamed and fell from the air.

All the powers of the Light Race came from the wings on their backs. Losing the wings would mean losing the core of their energy.

"Seal."

Chen Fan slashed again.

The blade aura turned into a cage that trapped Alan inside. It then became a thunder ball that fell from the sky and entered the Blade Strengthening Gourd.

The remaining Dark Overlords were frightened.

If the powerful son of God died, how could they resist Chen Fan?

Those in the front were especially terrified as they heard Chen Fan mumble about making medicines with the son of God. They immediately knelt and said, "Heavenly Chen, we've been blinded by the Christian Church. We're only here to watch the battle and we've never wanted to offend the North Qiong Sect."

"Right, we only came here to join in the fun!" a group of people yelled.

Many Japanese warriors even claimed that they had arrived to provide aid to the North Qiong Sect after knowing that the Christian Church was on its way.

A member of the Thai Royal Family even rushed to Chen Fan and begged for mercy on his knees.

This time, Chen Fan didn't trust them anymore.

"Kill!"

He shook the Thunder Blade.

Boom.

There came a clap of thunder. Then, hundreds of thunderbolts struck like spears shooting from the sky, turning the Japanese and the western warriors into charcoals.

But it wasn't enough. Chen Fan looked vicious and he was determined to kill all his enemies before stopping.

"Boom!"

Flashes of lightning struck one after another.

The Martial Artists from Indonesia, the Venerables from Western Europe, the Extraordinaries from North America, the Masters from the Hong Sect, the Rainforest Warriors from South America... Chen Fan slaughtered all those who offended him and came to attack the North Qiong Sect.

After thousands of thunderbolts, it finally stopped.

Meanwhile, only half of the Dark Overlords at the foot of the mountain were left. Thousands of them came from all over the world trying to attack the North Qiong Sect, but half of them ended up being killed.

"Hail Heavenly Chen."

The remaining Overlords didn't show how frightened they were; they simply knelt on the ground instead to thank Chen Fan for his mercy.

Looking at the terrified Dark Overlords, those of the North Qiong Sect felt like they were dreaming. Had they won? Half of the Overlords in the world had gathered to exterminate the North Qiong Sect but they had been killed by Chen Fan instead?

"Two Saints, twenty four Immortal State Warriors, over a hundred Grandmasters and thousands of Dark Overlords. They were all elites of the underground world, but Chen Beixuan killed them all by himself. He's really dominating the world!" Azure Dragon said as his hands trembled.

After this battle, there would be no Immortal State Warriors and Grandmasters in the entire world, and the Dark World would decline. Even mentioning Chen Fan's name would make them shake, let alone think about becoming his enemies!

Red Sparrow lowered her head and said, "I can imagine how this is going to startle the world."

In fact, the world had already been startled!
