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

When Chen Fan appeared on East Mountain, the CIA secret forum was the first to know about it. Countless people in the Dark World watched the battle between the Christian Church and the North Qiong Sect, as it would determine whom the world belonged to.

"Who do you think is going to win?" someone asked.

"The Christian Church, for sure! Saint Francis came in person and brought nine Immortal State Bishops with him. Without Chen Beixuan, the North Qiong Sect is definitely no match for the Christian Church," many said with certainty.

The technician of the Crimson Wings, Raphael, had even set up a live broadcasting of the battle on the forum with the help of the mercenaries in the area.

"F*k, there's an Earth Level Deity in the North Qiong Sect?"

"Where did he come from? I had never heard of him!"

"Luckily, the Christian Church also has an angel. They're indeed the most powerful in the world."

The appearance of Chen Huaian and Alan at the beginning of the battle had astonished the world. Nobody had ever thought that there would be two more Earth Level Deities.

Right when everyone was quite certain that the North Qiong Sect would lose, Chen Fan's arrival was completely earth-shattering.

The entire forum went silent at that moment.

"Who am I looking at? Chen Beixuan?" someone commented after a while.

Then, the entire forum was stirred. A lot of comments were posted, expressing how surprised they were. Chen Fan should have died after the nuclear explosion. Why did he survive?

Countless western Overlords bewailed Chen Fan's appearance.

After that, the broadcast became Chen Fan's performance. He killed the Immortal State Warriors, the Saint and many people at once, and even captured Alan.

"Fortunately, I didn't go to the North Qiong Sect."

Many were glad.

And more were still in shock! They had never seen Chen Fan's full power; his energy, which crushed mountains and split the sky, was completely earth-shattering.

"He's the most powerful person in the world. He's Chen Beixuan!" a lot of people mumbled.

"If not even a million-ton hydrogen bomb can kill him, what else can?" an old Grandmaster said and the entire forum remained inactive for a while.

Hydrogen bombs were the most powerful weapons in the world. Even though there were nuclear weapons with more explosive capacity, they knew it would be too difficult to target Chen Fan.

Black and White Demon Hunter sighed and said, "After this battle, no one else in the world will be able to control and resist Chen Beixuan."

"Right, I heard that the United States caught Chen Beixuan's fiancée and will be put on trial," someone shouted.

The others were speechless.

Right, Fang Qiong was still in the hands of the Americans. The United States was truly the dominator of the world; both the Christian Church and the Dark World seemed to be much weaker in front of this country.

"Is Chen Beixuan going to fight the United States?" someone said.

The forum went silent again.

At the Wang family's mansion on North Mountain in Yan Jin.

Old Lord Wang had announced that he would step back and let Wang Keqin to deal with the family matters when Chen Fan went missing.

In recent days, Wang Keqin had been feeling happy and everyone at the Wang family estate was constantly flashing radiant smiles, especially Xue Hongmei. After hearing word about Chen Fan's death, she ate several bowls of rice, saying that it was a blessing from God and that even the United States wanted to kill that bastard with a bomb.

Wang Keqin said at the dining table, "Dad, I heard that the Christian Church is going to visit the North Qiong Sect today."

"We should just stay out of the matters of the underground world. It's something Kunlun and Ye Qincang have to deal with," Wang Zhongguo said.

"He's finally dead. I hope all his family members also die to avenge Xiao Chen's death," Xue Hongmei said with hatred.

"Since Chen Fan is dead, the burden on our family has finally been lifted," Wang Keshan grunted.

Wang Chenchen listened to them and lowered her head. She had always adored Chen Fan but she dared not to say anything when everyone was condemning him.

Then, Wang Keqin's phone rang. He picked up the call with a smile but suddenly turned pale.

"Why? Has the North Qiong Sect been eliminated?" Xue Hongmei asked with a beaming smile.

Wang Keqin put down the phone and said seriously, "Chen Beixuan is back."

The entire hall went silent and everyone stopped eating. Xue Hongmei's smile seemed to have frozen and Wang Zhongguo's hands were even trembling.

"Chen Fan came back?"

This was totally a bolt from the blue.

The whole Wang family was clueless about what to do. Xue Hongmei was devastated, many descendants of the second and third generation were terrified, and even Wang Keqin was looking at Old Lord Wang for help.

Wang Zhongguo said, "What are you afraid of? Nothing will happen to the Wang family with me here."

Even so, Wang Keqin was still shaking. After all, he had demanded publicly for the senior members of the North Qiong Sect to be handed over to the United States; Chen Fan would never let him get away with it.

"We'll see what the United States says about it."

Wang Zhongguo shook his head and his eyes were full of disappointment.

At the same time, he regretted what he had done in the past. If only he had treated Chen Fan's family better, Chen Fan would be part of the Wang family.

Not only the Wang family, many other major families were startled by the news.

"It was a nuclear bomb! Chen Beixuan survived a nuclear explosion? Is he still a human?" Han Junli said.

Many senior members of the Han family looked serious. They knew better than Han Junli what it really meant for Chen Fan to come back alive! This meant that not even nuclear weapons could kill him; the threat of the superpowers hanging over Chen Fan had been suddenly reduced.

Old Lord Han said, "Juntu, lock up your brother and send someone to the North Qiong Sect to apologize to the Chen family."

"Yes, grandpa."

Han Juntu lowered his head.

Major families like the Xiao family and the Qin family immediately sent someone to apologize to Chen Fan, but their leaders didn't go there in person, just in case.

"Meanwhile, the United States is extremely fierce and they may not give in. One party must lose! I think Chen Beixuan is no match for them," Xiao Changfeng said.

Xiao Xuan and the others also nodded.

No matter how powerful Chen Fan was, his opponent was the United States, the dominator of the world. He didn't seem to have a chance for this battle.

Many large countries were stunned by the return of Chen Fan, but they all shook their heads after their analysis.

"Chen Beixuan went missing for a month before coming back. He was apparently injured due to the nuclear explosion, which means that nuclear weapons might still kill him. Last time, they used a million-ton bomb, so they can definitely use a billion-ton next time."

"The United States has the strongest nuclear arsenal in the entire world. They can kill Chen Beixuan a hundred times if they want."

"In order to defend their status in the world, the United States will not give in."

In fact, many hardliners in the United States also spoke.

"If one hydrogen bomb can't deal with Chen Beixuan, we'll drop ten!"

"We can't yield this time. We must make Chen Beixuan surrender. Otherwise, how can we remain as the dominators of the world?"

"Command all the aircraft carriers to the East Pacific, and keep all nuclear submarines, strategic bombers and intercontinental missiles on alert. We're fighting till the end!"

Many hawks and American consortiums worked together to assist the American Army. Among them, the Lance family was the most active. After all, Chen Fan was their enemy.

In an unknown valley in the United States.

Several bald men were discussing something in a futuristic underground base. These men had fair skin and invisible veins which exposed the light blue blood with blue glitters.

"Mr. Brooke, Chen Beixuan survived the attack."

"Looks like we've underestimated him. It's indeed difficult to kill him as he was deep in the Blood Sea and away from the explosion center."

"Next time, it'll be even harder to lure him into the explosion zone. Watch out for his revenge."

The Wise Men seemed a bit worried but the blue-eyed man in the middle said, "It's all right. We still have one more trump card. As long as we have her, we have Chen Beixuan's life."

"You mean..."

The Wise Men openly shared the feeling of excitement through their eyes.

In the meantime, after East Mountain became peaceful again.

Chen Fan opened the Green Dragon Grand Array and invited many of his friends and allies to the real North Qiong Pavilion. The large amount of Spirit Qi in the array and the Spirit Medicines astonished Azure Dragon and a few others.

"They have so many medicines here. How many Grandmasters can Kunlun make out of them?" White Tiger exclaimed.

Everyone in North Qiong Pavilion sat on the floor.

Wang Xiaoyun, Chen Huaian and An Ya were really pleased by Chen Fan's return. Wang Xiaoyun even held Chen Fan in her arms and started crying.

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I'm fine."

Yukishiro Sa and the others also smiled but there was a glint of worry in their eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Fan quickly sensed something unusual. He looked around and asked seriously, "Where's Xiao Qiong? Why is she not here?"

After Chen Fan exited the valley and took Jiang Churan to Europe, he returned as soon as he could. He heard that the North Qiong Sect had been under siege, so he didn't know what had happened to Fang Qiong.

"Fang Qiong... has been detained by the United States. The CEO of the Star World Corporation, Brooke, invited her there," Hua Yunfeng said.

"What?"

Chen Fan got up with great viciousness. The others felt as if the air in the hall had frozen.

His family and Fang Qiong were the most important people for Chen Fan. He wasn't as furious as he was right then even when the Star World Corporation dropped the nuclear bomb on him.

"Xiao Fan, calm down. The Americans will definitely send Xiao Qiong back when they know you're alive," Wang Xiaoyun said.

Azure Dragon also nodded and thought the United States would release Fang Qiong and apologize, like Russia did.

"Hm, I hope so."

Chen Fan grunted and got up immediately, getting ready to save Fang Qiong.

Then, Red Sparrow suddenly came in anxiously with a tablet.

"The United States is going to try Fang Qiong publicly and the live broadcast has already begun."

They saw Fang Qiong standing in the dock in a white shirt and two armed soldiers on both sides. In front of them were several judges.

When Chen Fan saw Fang Qiong, his body froze.

"Boom!"

A terrifying energy fell in the hall as if an ancient beast had been awakened. Even Chen Huaian stepped back and was frightened.

August 15th, 2012.

The Federal Supreme Court of the United States put Fang Qiong, the CEO of North Qiong Corp, on trial. She was facing fifty six charges, including a number of murders, and could be sentenced to permanent imprisonment or even death.

The trial was broadcast live to every country and everyone could watch it!

Chapter 706 Risen Again!

American media was too powerful. When the trial began, almost all the TV stations in the world started broadcasting.

North Qiong Corp was a rising company and their fame rested on their Vitality Serum which was regarded as the "Divine Essence of the East!" They were supported by many countries and those who bought the serum said that their bodies indeed underwent some positive changes.

And yet, in the recent month, the western world defamed them and asked many "victims" to step forward and talk about the dangers of using the Vitality Serum, including damage to children's intelligence, developing physical disabilities, cancer and producing doping effects.

North Qiong Corp immediately went from being a reputable high-tech company to a fraud company that took money and lives.

"Public trial? Hm! All of them should be sentenced to death!"

"She looks pretty beautiful, but why does she have such an evil mind?"

"Just shoot this female demon who killed so many people."

Many people who were watching the broadcast were cheering. Only a minority—who had tried the Vitality Serum and experienced the changes in their bodies—disagreed but there were too few of them.

At Yan Jin Film Academy.

Ningxin suddenly yelled, "Fei Fei, isn't Fang Qiong, the CEO of North Qiong Corp, Chen Beixuan's fiancée? The United States is holding a public trial against her."

"What?"

Xu Rongfei turned around in shock.

Wasn't Fang Qiong the girl in a white shirt on the screen?

Xu Rongfei was startled. She knew Chen Fan very well and certainly knew Fang Qiong's status in Chen Fan's mind as well. Since the United States were trying Fang Qiong publicly, did this mean that Chen Fan was in danger?

At the Fang family's mansion in Jin City.

Su Susu hugged Fang Mingde and cried her eyes out as she watched her daughter being interrogated on TV.

Fang Mingde also turned pale; he clenched his fists as he gazed at the screen. That was their only daughter; their only child, and their biggest pride.

Even so, she was being tried in front of the entire world and might even be sentenced to death, which was a complete humiliation!

At the mansion of the Wang family on the North Mountain.

Wang Keqin was thrilled. "Dad, Mom, the United States is trying the CEO of North Qiong Corp, Fang Qiong. Chen Fan will definitely surrender to save his love."

"That's great. They better sentence her to death. I want this bastard to know the feeling of losing his loved one!" Xue Hongmei gave an evil smile.

Many other members of the Wang family cheered.

Only Wang Zhongguo frowned. Chen Fan... wouldn't be threatened that easily, right?

Many people in Zhong Hai, Hong Kong, Wu Zhou and Chu Zhou City, who knew or did not know Fang Qiong, were looking at the girl in the dock on the TV.

Countless people stopped what they were doing and watched the broadcast.

This was the most influential trial with the most views throughout history, which had surpassed the one in Tokyo during the Second World War. At least one billion people were watching and the number was still increasing.

All the underground forums were in silence.

"Something big is going to happen!"

The trial soon began.

Nine superior judges of the United States were presiding over the case. They enjoyed lifelong power, and could try the Presidents and adjudicate any company or country in the world.

The only female judge sitting in the middle, Susan Lean, said seriously, "Suspect Fang Qiong, you've been charged with fifty six crimes, including murders, crimes against humanity, manufacture and sale of toxic drugs, crimes against the world, along with deeds of similar graveness. Under your leadership, North Qiong Corp has caused thousands of deaths. Do you plead guilty?"

"I refuse to plead guilty. Several countries in the world are trying to frame me and North Qiong Corp. I was invited by the CEO of the Star World Corporation for an interview in the United States. How could you arrest me?"

Fang Qiong looked up with a determined face.

"You mean these allegations are all false? The claim that 1548 people died after using the Vitality Serum is slander? The evidence provided by France, Germany, England and Japan was forged?"

There was a hint of disdain in Susan Lean's eyes.

Someone in the jury was sneering. What kind of company could make a dozen countries collaborate to fabricate evidence? No matter how strong the company was, it was an ant in front of the superpowers.

"Yes," Fang Qiong said firmly.

During the trial.

Many news were sent to North Qiong Pavilion through Kunlun.

"The Pentagon has already issued the highest war alert and mounted all missiles on the launchers. All battleships have left the port and the troops have mobilized every member they had. The Department of Defense even issued an order to spare no effort in case of war."

"The USS Abraham Lincoln has departed from the Port of Yokosuka in Japan."

"The five nuclear submarines at Guam's military base seem to have entered Japan."

"Several B-2 Stealth and Strategic Bombers have departed from the Air Force base in California, heading west..."

The faces of those in the North Qiong Pavilion looked more serious as the news arrived; it meant that the American Army was already prepared for a nuclear war.

"Sir, the American Special Envoy has arrived in Yan Jin. He said they're sorry for what happened in the Blood Sea, since it was apparently a misunderstanding. They hope that there will not be any conflicts between you and their country. Also, Miss Fang Qiong won't be tried, but she will stay in the United States as their guest for a while..." Azure Dragon said.

"Despicable!"

A'Xiu and the others were enraged.

On one hand, the United States was preparing for a world war. On the other hand, they hypocritically apologized and threatened Chen Fan with Fang Qiong at the same time, saying that she would be their guest for a while. How long would that be?

A year? Ten years? A hundred years?

Wang Xiaoyun looked worried.

If Chen Fan didn't do anything this time, the United States would go even further in the future.

Chen Fan remained silent and kept looking at the screen. The trial was still in progress.

"... There are many witnesses that can testify that they suffered from various physical disabilities, sudden illnesses and deterioration of their faculties after they drank the Vitality Serum," Susan Lean continued.

The witnesses were summoned one after another.

They came from countries around the world, including England, Japan, France and mostly India. A skinny man cried and claimed that everyone else in his village had died after drinking the Vitality Serum.

Fang Qiong looked at all of this indifferently.

She didn't deny a thing. Even though North Qiong Corp had never sold any Vitality Serum in India, Fang Qiong knew it was useless to say anything. It was only power pushing the trial, not justice. This was international politics.

"Other than your own charges, there's another special accusation against your fiancé. The Japanese government claimed that he killed thousands of soldiers in Japan," Susan Lean suddenly said.

Fang Qiong immediately blanched.

Those in front of the TV were stunned. Anyone who knew Fang Qiong was aware who her fiancé was.

Chen Fan!

The United States was going to file a lawsuit against Chen Fan as well.

Even though Susan Lean didn't say his name, the entire Dark World knew exactly who she was talking about.

At Yan Jin Film Academy.

Ningxin got up and said, "Did the United States also get him? Isn't he powerful?"

Xu Rongfei didn't say anything. She stared at the screen as she bit her lower lip; it was already bleeding.

In Jin City.

Su Susu was also terrified. "Will Chen Fan be all right? Xiao Qiong is already there. If something happens to him, who's going to save my daughter?"

Fang Mingde remained silent and his face was completely pale.

Su Susu's heart sank to the bottom.

At the mansion of the Wang Family on North Mountain.

Countless descendants of the Wang Family were thrilled.

"Yes, they better sentence all of them to death so I can feel better. Oh, my poor grandson!" Xue Hongmei said.

And on the forums in Yan Jin, London and Paris.

Many people had realized what the United States wanted to do.

"They're trying to put pressure on Chen Beixuan. While everyone in the world is watching the trial, will Chen Beixuan dare to go there and save Fang Qiong?"

"The one who arranged this live broadcast is brilliant! Chen Beixuan might not be afraid of the United States, but what about the entire world? If the evidence proves Fang Qiong guilty, she will become a sinner through the ages and Chen Beixuan will be rescuing a murderer, a devil! He will be condemned by the world and become everyone's enemy!"

"Chen Beixuan needs to yield!" a lot of people said.

The leaders of the large families—including the Qin family, the Han family and the Xiao family—also came to a similar conclusion.

"The United States is the dominator of the world after all. They're very good at killing someone by swaying the public opinion," Old Lord Xiao sighed and said.

Xiao Xuan lowered his head and felt pleased.

Meanwhile, in the United States Capitol.

The most powerful Senators of the country were having a heated discussion.

Cruz Lance, the vice president of the Senate, got up and said, "Everyone, today will be a day to remember in history. An Overlord with super powers is going to surrender to the United States of America, and this is due to the efforts made by all of us. Let us drink a toast to the judges at the Supreme Court, to the great American law and to our colleagues!"

"Cheers!"

The Senators toasted.

The eyes of those heavy hitters who controlled the entire United States and the world were filled with glints of wisdom. They believed that they could tame an eastern dragon with political tactics.

"...Sir, the United States sent you a message. If you refuse to make peace, they'll fight till the end and will not hesitate to use their nuclear weapons. Miss Fang Qiong will also go on trial and be sentenced to death," Azure Dragon said with worry.

"Countries, including England, France and Russia, hope that you can think about the overall situation and accept to negotiate for now. If the nuclear weapons are initiated, the world will be destroyed."

Ye Nantian also came with the latest news.

Wang Xiaoyun and the others turned pale.

England, France, Russia, Germany, Japan... Almost all the powerful nations in the world sent a message, saying that if Chen Fan disobeyed them, he would be against the entire world.

Li Wuchen was also there.

"...The country also hopes you can calm down and settle things through negotiation."

The North Qiong Pavilion went silent. At this moment, the entire world seemed to be opposing Chen Fan; he virtually had no allies.

Everyone looked at Chen Fan, waiting for his decision.

As long as Chen Fan was willing to yield, this battle would end. And yet, if he chose to keep fighting, nobody knew what would happen next.

Chen Fan was still standing there silently, watching the situation unfold.

"Miss Fang Qiong, if you're willing to plead guilty to all fifty six charges, we'll withdraw the allegations against your fiancé."

Susan Lean stared at Fang Qiong like a beast watching its prey in the trap.

Fang Qiong sat there alone, looking skinny.

Everyone could see the hesitation and struggle in her eyes through the screen.

"Xiao Fan," Wang Xiaoyun said anxiously.

This time, Chen Fan finally moved.

He turned around and walked towards Wang Xiaoyun and Chen Gexin, then lowered his head and said.

"Mom, Dad, please forgive me. I know that everything I did in the last few years has disturbed your peaceful lives and has made you live in fear, but I must be willful this time..."

He looked up with determination in his eyes.

"Fang Qiong is my wife, my love, my partner. She's sacrificing herself for me. I promised to take care of her forever so I don't want to give in this time."

Wang Xiaoyun didn't say a word while Chen Gexin nodded.

"You're a man. Do what you must. Don't worry about us."

Chen Fan glanced at all the members of the North Qiong Sect. Yukishiro Sa, A'Xiu and An Ya; all of them nodded and Chen Huaian also gave an encouraging smile.

He heaved a sigh, then turned around and walked to the door of the hall.

Chen Fan knew that once he stepped out, the world would never be the same! The development of human civilization would undergo a drastic change and countless people would witness everything. There might even be a nuclear war which would destroy the planet.

"But without Xiao Qiong, what does this planet... mean to me?"

Chen Fan walked with coldness in his eyes and there seemed to be fire burning around him.

"Mr. Chen, what are you going to do?"

Azure Dragon and Li Wuchen were worried.

Chen Fan walked out of the North Qiong Pavilion, looking up to the sky. He then looked back and cracked a smile.

"I'm going to get my wife back."

"And show all the humans on the planet that they've forgotten how powerful we are!"

Then, Chen Fan shot to the sky in front of everyone's astonished faces and turned into a beam of crimson light, swiftly flashing towards the United States.

On that day.

The entire population of Jin City looked up and saw a beam of light that split the sky in half.

That beam of light was fierce!

Chen Fan had risen again!

Chapter 707 Killing Along the Way

When Chen Fan shot to the sky...

The large countries around the world received the warning at the same time and countless satellites captured the crimson aura. In fact, Chen Fan wasn't hiding at all.

The crimson aura swiftly flashed across the sky.

Countless people looked up and saw the crimson aura. They thought that it was a plane or a rainbow. Some of them even filmed it and sent it to the Internet, but the whole world was paying attention to the trial and nobody noticed the footage.

"Whoosh."

Chen Fan broke the sonic barrier and flew in the sky at three times the speed of sound. He soon left China and entered the East Sea. Then, he made a turn and headed for Tokyo.

Since the battle had begun, Chen Fan had to show the United States that he wasn't a pushover.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

The alarm rang at the command center in Japan.

The Japanese Minister of National Defense looked at the crimson aura on the screen with a pale face.

"Damn it! It was the Americans who took his fiancée. Why is he coming to Japan?" Everyone was frightened. After all, Chen Fan had destroyed a fleet and killed armored soldiers before! How could Japan resist him?

"Sir, should we send a fighter aircraft to stop him?" a Major General asked.

"No take-offs! Not even one!" the Minister of National Defense got up and shouted, "Notify the American Army in Japan right away. The United States caused all this, so they must deal with it."

In fact, the American fighter aircrafts at the Marine Corps Air Station in Futenma had already taken off.

A dozen F16 and F15 fighter aircrafts went to intercept Chen Fan at full speed. The United States had prepared to fight and all the military bases around the world were standing by, but they had never thought that Chen Fan would really act.

"Warning, warning! Ahead of you is the territory of Japan. Stop advancing immediately, or it will be regarded as an act of war..." The American aircraft saw Chen Fan and started issuing warnings to him.

"So annoying!"

The crimson aura immediately flashed at several times the speed of sound.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In almost a blink, several F-16 Fighting Falcon were crushed into pieces. Then, not only did the crimson aura not stop, it kept on pushing forward.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The aircrafts turned into fireballs one after another.

Chen Fan split those supersonic fighter aircrafts in half without using any Dharma Spells. They all crashed before they could launch the missiles.

In thirty seconds, a dozen fighter aircrafts had been destroyed.

After that, Chen Fan kept going towards Tokyo.

This battle happened right above Japan and many Japanese were watching dumbfoundedly. Some of them even filmed it with their phones.

"Is... is the planet being invaded by aliens?" someone murmured.

Even though they couldn't see what the crimson aura was, they saw with their own eyes that a dozen American fighter aircrafts had been destroyed. Other than aliens, who else on Earth would dare to take down American aircrafts?

Meanwhile, the alarm rang in the military base of the United States in Japan, the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet, and the Pentagon in the United States.

The command center of the American Army was shocked by the instant destruction of a dozen aircrafts.

Minister Arnold of the Ministry of National Defense, who was also known as Minister Iron Fist, was staring at the bright red dot on the screen. It was flashing through the Japanese territory towards Tokyo.

Japan covered an area of only several hundred kilometers and Chen Fan almost flashed across the country in a blink.

"Minister, I've already ordered all the fighter aircrafts in Japan to take off and stop Chen Beixuan from entering Tokyo, so that we can protect our ally," the commander of the American Army in Japan reported, "As long as we can keep him in Japan for half an hour, the F22 fighter jet from our military base in Guam will arrive in time."

"No... His target isn't Tokyo, but Yokosuka," Minister Arnold said as he watched the fighter aircrafts being destroyed.

"Yokosuka?"

Everyone looked at the map and was terrified. "The USS Abraham Lincoln is still at the port of Yokosuka!"

Yokosuka.

The port was located at the forefront of Tokyo Bay and was the first military port in East Asia.

The American aircraft carrier fleet was usually docked here under normal circumstances. That day, the USS Abraham Lincoln had set out, so there had to be something complicated going on. Before that, the aircraft carrier was only a few hundred meters away from the shore and hadn't left the port.

"They issued the red alert today and the aircraft carrier is out. Is Russia attacking Japan?" Sergeant David said.

Most of the American soldiers had no idea what was going on.

Second Lieutenant John laughed and said, "Don't worry. We've got the Russians under control. They wouldn't dare to come, unless they want another world war."

"Woooo Woooo..."

The alarm rang, and David and John were terrified. This alarm meant that the enemy was about to attack Yokosuka! But in fact, they were both unfamiliar with such an alarm.

The last time this happened was during the attack on Pearl Harbor sixty years before.

"Where's the enemy? Is this a false alarm?" David said.

Many American soldiers who ran out of their rooms were confused.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a thunderous sound came above the Port of Yokosuka, as if a fighter aircraft were flying low. Everyone looked up and saw how a crimson aura flashed through the air from the West and stopped.

There was a man standing inside the crimson aura.

That man was covered in crimson fire as if he were a devil from Hell.

"This is..."

Countless American soldiers stared in shock at the crimson aura hovering in the sky, while the USS Abraham Lincoln immediately sailed and tried to escape to the ocean.

A cold voice came from the crimson shadow. "Kill!"

After that, a hundred feet long blade with flashes of purple lightning twined around it fell from the sky and slashed at the USS Abraham Lincoln.

That nuclear-powered aircraft carrier covered by a strong alloy, which was 333m long and could carry a hundred thousand tons of water, was split in half by the Purple Thunder Blade, directly sinking into the ocean.

"Sthh."

Many American soldiers gasped.

That was an aircraft carrier, which represented the strongest power in the world and was the symbol and life of the United States. It had sunk just like that?

Someone filmed the scene and uploaded the footage on the Internet.

At the same time, the sound of gunfire came and many soldiers finally reacted, starting to attack Chen Fan. Then, missiles were launched with him as their target.

But Chen Fan immediately flashed and the Blade Qi swept for a thousand feet.

In a heartbeat, countless thunderbolts struck from the sky. The Blade Qi cleaved the battleships, crushed the buildings and split the ocean.

Yokosuka had only the size of a small town.

All buildings, local architecture and any construction in front of the Blade Qi was shattered into little bits. Those battleships docked at the port sank into the ocean and the missiles exploded before hitting Chen Fan.

Ten minutes later.

Chen Fan stopped attacking, then he turned into a crimson aura again and left.

The surviving soldier got up from the ground and glanced around.

Yokosuka, which used to be the first military port in East Asia with dozens of battleships and thousands of soldiers, had already turned into ruins. Intact buildings were nowhere to be seen.

"Beep, beep, beep."

A voice came from the intercom again. "This is the United States' Indo-Pacific Command. We deemed critical to notify that the enemy is about to attack Yokosuka. Be on high alert and ready to fight. I repeat. The enemy is about to attack Yokosuka..."

Sergeant David picked up the intercom with his trembling hand and answered, "Sir, Yokosuka has been destroyed... We lost more than ten thousand soldiers and the USS Abraham Lincoln..."

"There's only one... enemy!"

The entire United States and many countries in the world were stunned by the destruction of Yokosuka.

Someone attacked the American aircraft carrier? This was a declaration of war against the United States! Yokosuka was the top military port in East Asia and the United States relied on it to suppress Japan. Thousands of elite soldiers were stationed there... were they all gone?

Chen Fan's terrifying energy was shown in front of the world.

It was as destructive as nuclear weapons and had caught everyone off guard.

But this was only the beginning. Since the battle had started, Chen Fan would not be merciful. How could he dispel the North Mystic Celestial Lord's anger if he didn't kill as many Americans as he wanted?

Ten minutes later.

A hundred fighter aircrafts at the American Marine Corps Air Station in Futenma were destroyed by Chen Fan.

Half an hour later.

The United States Fleet Activities in Sasebo also fell under Chen Fan's attack. Thousands of American soldiers died and the entire military base sank into the Pacific Ocean.

Forty five minutes later.

The United States Naval Base in Guam was leveled and more than ten thousand American soldiers were either dead or severely injured. After the USS Carl Vinson sailed for ten kilometers, Chen Fan caught up and destroyed all seventeen battleships, including the aircraft carrier.

In less than an hour, the United States had lost four military bases, thirty thousand soldiers and two aircraft carriers, but this was only the beginning.

The crimson aura shot across the sky towards Hawaii!

Chapter 708 A Bloodbath

Hawaii.

The most famous island in the Pacific Ocean which was a popular vacation spot. Every summer, countless tourists went there from all around the world to enjoy the sunlight, the beaches and the bikini beauties.

But at the same time, the island was the largest overseas military base of the United States. The headquarters of the Pacific Fleet was located there, tasked with suppressing the entire Pacific Ocean! The famous "Pearl Harbor" was on the third largest island in Hawaii, "Oahu."

During the Second World War sixty years in the past, Japan had once sent a fleet to launch a sneak attack on this port, an event later known as the "Pearl Harbor Incident!" The United States then participated in the war, causing Japan's defeat.

At the moment, the siren had once again gone off at Pearl Harbor.

"Attention! All soldiers prepare for battle immediately. All battleships sail and all aircrafts take off. The enemy is about to enter Pearl Harbor! The enemy is about to enter Pearl Harbor..."

The siren was ringing.

Countless American soldiers were running around.

They had enjoyed peace for decades, never thinking that someone would attack Hawaii.

Meanwhile, in the underground base of the United States' Indo-Pacific Command.

The Generals stared at the screen with pale faces. In less than an hour, four military bases in East Asia had been destroyed. If there weren't photos from the satellites, they wouldn't have believed it.

"A demon, he's indeed a demon! He killed thirty thousand of our men and destroyed two aircraft carrier fleets," Lieutenant General Ryan said with trembling hands.

"This is to provoke and to declare war against our country! He's worse than Japan back then. We must fight until the end," a hawk shouted.

The other Generals were also enraged.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Ocean Ducao said, "This is not the time for revenge. We must make the right decision. What's Chen Beixuan's next move? Will he stop or will he keep attacking? If he continues, he must be planning to cross the Pacific Ocean and target our territories. Hawaii will be the first one."

"Three aircraft carrier fleets are docked in Hawaii. Send the command for them to sail right away and go as far as possible. Also, order all the soldiers to prepare the equipment, including nuclear weapons. I've already sent a request to the Ministry of National Defense and the passcodes for the nuclear weapons will be forwarded anytime soon. The most important thing now is, where is Chen Beixuan located?"

Everyone looked at the intelligence officer.

The intelligence officer was drenched in cold sweat. "The satellites could still locate Chen Beixuan, but he disappeared after he entered the Western Pacific. It's difficult to find him in the ocean. We need some time."

"Oh no!" Ducao was startled after hearing what the intelligence officer said.

But it was too late.

"Boom!"

There came a thunderous sound.

A crimson aura stopped above Pearl Harbor.

Chen Fan traveled several thousand kilometers instantly and arrived in Hawaii! Many Generals were terrified. Chen Fan was still in Guam not long before.

Guam was three thousand kilometers away from Hawaii and even a supersonic fighter aircraft needed three hours to get there.

So, at how many times the speed of sound was Chen Fan going?

Five times? Six times?

No one dared to imagine.

And the attack had arrived.

"Swish."

The Purple Thunder Blade which was surrounded by red flames and thunderbolts swept across the air and struck the USS Nimitz. This nuclear-powered aircraft carrier then sank into the ocean.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The missiles were launched, targeting Chen Fan.

Hawaii's attacks were more violent than those in Guam and Yokosuka. After all, they were well-prepared for battle. And yet, Chen Fan didn't care about the normal missiles anymore.

"Bang."

He slashed and the Blade Qi moved in a hundred feet range. All the missiles were destroyed by the energy and they exploded in the air.

Then, Chen Fan merged with the blade and turned into a beam of light, flashing to a place a thousand feet away.

"Boom, boom!"

There were dozens of fireballs in the sky.

These fireballs were the fighter aircrafts that had just taken off, including a few F22 stealth fighters. They couldn't withstand Chen Fan's attack and immediately exploded.

"He's too powerful... He's too powerful!"

The American soldiers on the ground were all frightened.

Their anti-aircraft guns, machine guns and cannons were completely useless against Chen Fan; they burned into ashes before they could get near him. The missiles that could barely threaten him were also destroyed.

"He's an incarnation of a demon!"

Some Generals in the underground base were also trembling when they saw the attack through the video feed.

"Fire the electromagnetic cannon now!" Admiral Ducao said.

The American Army had equipped the USS Harry S. Truman with the most advanced electromagnetic cannon, which was powered by the energy of nuclear power reactors and was much more powerful than the ones used by the God-battling Team.

"Boom!"

A three-meter alloy spear was shot out from the electromagnetic cannon, flashing towards Chen Fan at twenty times the speed of sound. The USS Harry S. Truman was also pushed back several meters because of this attack.

"Whoosh."

The spear created a long white mark in the sky, which couldn't be seen with bare eyes. It had arrived in front of Chen Fan as soon as they fired it.

"Is this your trump card?"

Chen Fan stretched out his hand with his cold eyes.

He gripped the metal spear immediately.

"Boom!"

A terrifying energy exploded from his hand. The alloy spear was strong enough to penetrate an aircraft carrier. Chen Fan gripped it tight and it couldn't move forward, no matter how fast it shook.

"Sthh."

Everyone gasped while watching this.

"That's a super electromagnetic cannon that can pierce through a ten-meter steel plate! He caught it with his bare hand?" Lieutenant General Ryan yelled.

Admiral Ducao was terrified.

"Oh no, the USS Harry S. Truman..."

It was too late.

Chen Fan held the spear in his hand; he bent its body into a bow shape and shot it back.

"Bang!"

A sound barrier cloud appeared in the air and the alloy spear flashed towards the USS Harry S. Truman at a high speed. This aircraft carrier was made of steel, clearly not as hard as Chen Fan's body.

In a blink, the spear penetrated the aircraft carrier.

A giant hole appeared in the middle of the deck which was ten meters large; it went through all the decks, armors and cabins. After piercing through, the alloy spear shot deep into the ocean.

The fourth aircraft carrier, the USS Harry S. Truman, sank.

After a minute, the fifth aircraft carrier, the USS Theodore Roosevelt, was split in half by Chen Fan's slash and it sank into the ocean.

Up until then, all five aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet had been sunk.

The Navy had almost lost half of their forces!

"Sthh."

The entire underground base went silent as the Generals stared at the screen dumbfoundedly. They watched how Chen Fan carved a path of slaughter in Pearl Harbor and leveled the entire Oahu.

Countless coconut trees, tropical plants and constructions were torn to pieces by the Blade Qi.

Many battleships docked at the port sank into the ocean and the fighter aircrafts crashed one after another. The entire Pearl Harbor was flooded with blood and a lot of American soldiers died.

"This is worse than Japan's attack sixty years ago!" Lieutenant General Ryan mumbled.

Admiral Ducao clenched his fists and said, "Send a message to the Ministry of National Defense. I need the authorization to use nuclear weapons so I can blow that demon out of the sky!"

There were hundreds of nuclear warheads stored in Hawaii.

Unfortunately, the United States' Indo-Pacific Command didn't have the power to launch any nuclear weapons. They needed the authorization from the Ministry of National Defense and the White House.

"Yes, sir."

The officers quickly sent the message.

The Generals were enraged; they were waiting for the authorization to launch the nuclear missiles and blow Chen Fan into pieces. They didn't care even if they had to sacrifice the entire Pacific Fleet and Hawaii. After all, their underground base could withstand nuclear explosions.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the base shook violently.

"What's wrong?"

The Generals were terrified.

"Sir, someone's attacking the base!" The intelligence officer turned around with a pale face.

Everyone looked at the screen and watched Chen Fan standing in the sky, slashing at the mountain with his Thunder Blade.

The United States' Indo-Pacific Command had been built under an extinct volcano in Oahu.

"Bang! Bang!"

As Chen Fan attacked, the entire volcano started shaking and everyone could feel the quake, even though they were dozens of meters underground.

"Is he mad? He wants to destroy the entire volcano?" Lieutenant General Ryan yelled.

In fact, Chen Fan was indeed planning to do so.

Even though the United States' Indo-Pacific Command was hidden deep under the ground, Chen Fan's Immortal Will covered the entire island and he certainly discovered those Generals who were wearing a uniform.

"Go!"

Chen Fan's True Essence surged out and the Purple Thunder Blade turned into a three hundred meters Divine Blade surrounded by thunderbolts and red flames, floating in the sky. Even the tourists on the other islands saw this.

"Crack!"

The blade slashed and split the entire mountain in half. The blade aura went down dozens of meters and destroyed the military base. Admiral Ducao was crushed into pieces before he could say a word.

After a slash.

The United States' Indo-Pacific Command had collapsed completely!

Hundreds of thousands of international tourists witnessed everything on another island, as they looked at the crimson aura in the air.

They saw the destruction of Pearl Harbor, the three sinking aircraft carriers, Chen Fan splitting the mountain and destroying the base, and how he flew away towards the United States after all this.

"Something's going to happen! Something big!" an old man mumbled.

In fact, the entire world had already been stirred because of Chen Fan's attacks! This time, not only the senior officials of the countries and the underground world, billions of people were also stunned!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 709 Astonishing the World!

Back to two hours before.

The United States was broadcasting Fang Qiong's trial live, and according to real-time statistics, seven hundred million people were watching it on their TVs, computers and cell phones.

Almost one in ten people on Earth was watching it! This broke the Guinness record and tied with the record of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.

Soon, some news circulated on the Internet.

"Something strange happened in Jin City today. A beam of red light rose from the suburbs and flew to the East."

"Right, I saw it in Jin City. Many people around me were wondering if the country had launched a missile to attack Japan."

"I'm in Wu Zhou and we saw that too..."

Some Chinese netizens started talking about the crimson aura first. Chen Fan flew across several cities, including Jin City, Wu Zhou and Zhenhai.

Then, there was a commotion on the Japanese Internet.

"I saw the American Army fighting the red alien near the coast of Yamaguchi and a dozen aircrafts were destroyed."

"Really?"

The footage was then uploaded.

A crimson aura flashed across the sky and instantly destroyed many American aircrafts, but the video was filmed from afar and the picture was a bit blurry. Many even thought that the video was fake.

When everyone was having a heated discussion.

A shocking piece of news came.

"Yokosuka was under attack and the entire port was destroyed. The USS Abraham Lincoln of the United States was also sunk!"

This news instantly startled the entire Internet in Japan and it swiftly spread around, catching the attention of many Japanese media. That was the Port of Yokosuka! The first military port in East Asia which had thousands of American soldiers stationed there.

It was earth-shattering news that the port was under attack, especially when all the aircraft carriers were sunk! Everyone knew that aircraft carriers were the life of the United States. Whenever something happened in the world, the American President would always say "Where are the aircraft carriers?"

"Is it Russia?"

"Is there going to be another world war?"

"Are aliens attacking the planet?"

Some shocking articles appeared on the Japanese media and everyone was drawn to a heated discussion. Then, the second astonishing news came.

The military base of the American Army in Futenma was also destroyed.

Fifteen minutes later.

The same happened to the base in Sasebo.

The entire Internet in Japan went silent!

Everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it! The attack on Yokosuka might be an accident, but since the other two military bases were also attacked, this meant that the other party was targeting the United States.

"Another world war is coming!" an old man said with his trembling hands.

All three military bases of the United States in Japan were destroyed in half an hour, including thousands of troops and aircraft carrier fleets. This news immediately shocked the world, just like a bomb would.

Many TV stations immediately broadcasted a news report.

"The American military bases were under attack, aircraft carriers were sunk. The identity of the attacker is still unknown."

"The Russian government said they aren't responsible for this."

"The Chinese government remains silent..."

Many famous media and TV stations started broadcasting the news. BBC, CNN, NBC... These TV stations could reach out to more than half of the world's population and were all broadcasting.

Countless working or shopping people saw the news on TV and looked up in surprise.

This time, not only Japan.

England, France, Russia, China... Almost everyone in every country watched the news and gloated, saying that the United States had gone through another 911 attack.

The American people were enraged!

They wanted to destroy the country or the organization that attacked their military bases.

But then, an earth-shattering news came.

The Hawaiian Islands had been attacked. The United States' Indo-Pacific Command had been destroyed, three aircraft carrier fleets were sunk and thousands of American soldiers were either dead or injured!

This time, there was even a video filmed by a tourist in Hawaii. In the video, a crimson flash flew around and killed wherever it flew past. He had a blade aura in his hand that was a hundred feet long and it was surrounded by thunderbolts.

"This is?"

People around the world were stunned when they saw the footage!

This was like a scene from a movie. Aliens invading the Earth, Godzilla attacking the city, Iron Man battling with Superman... What happened shouldn't exist in reality but it did.

This time, the video was a bit clearer. There was a man standing inside the crimson aura, enveloped in red flames like a demon.

"Is this even real?" Countless people wondered.

But more and more videos were published on TV.

Chen Fan destroyed a dozen fighter aircrafts above Yamaguchi, killed many soldiers and sank the aircraft carriers at the Port of Yokosuka. Then he ran wild in the base in Sasebo, destroyed everything in the base in Guam...

When those videos appeared, the most stubborn people had to accept the truth.

It wasn't any organization or a country, or an alien, behind the attacks of the military bases of the United States; instead, it was a person, a "superman" who made his appearance in front of the world!

The world was stirred!

Countless people widened their eyes as they stared at the TV.

More than a hundred TV stations around the world stopped their programming and broadcasted the videos. All TV channels, websites, news reports and media were playing the videos of the attack.

Many members of the TV stations started working crazily.

Columns, planning, live broadcasting!

These media professionals and journalists kept collecting information through all sorts of channels, hoping to find out who the attacker was. What did he look like? Was he a human or a God? Why did he attack the bases of the United States?

"I've never seen such an incident in my life, no, in human history! It's comparable to the atomic bomb explosion in Hiroshima, the First and Second World War and the invention of the steam engine..."

"This will be the most glorious incident ever in human history and a moment we will all be proud of for our entire lives!"

"Whoever shows up in the live broadcast in front of the world will become the greatest media figure in history! Because this is the moment this God or superman comes to Earth!"

— CNN News Director, three times Pulitzer Prize winner, George Steven.

In fact, just like Steven said, countless media around the world were playing the footage and many people were watching it on their computers, TVs and cell phones.

The number of people watching the live broadcasts skyrocketed.

One hundred million, three hundred million, five hundred million...

Ten minutes later, it broke the record set by Fang Qiong's trial and exceeded seven hundred million.

Twenty minutes later, the number of people watching the live broadcasts reached one billion.

Half an hour later, more than two billion!

This meant that one in three people on Earth was watching this earth-shattering broadcast and everyone had only one question in mind.

"Who exactly is that?"

"This is BBC TV and I'm your hostess, Kim Kashan. After sorting the information collected from the CIA and our news department, we've got a rough idea of where this "superman" comes from. He should be of Chinese origin. Please look at the following pictures," the blonde, hot hostess said emotionally.

"China?"

The audience was startled.

Even the Chinese people were dumbfounded. It was one of them who destroyed four American military bases and sank five aircraft carrier fleets?

A series of videos were played on the screen.

Those videos started from Hawaii, then Guam, Sasebo, Futenma, Yokosuka, Yamaguchi... Many people had already noticed that this was Chen Fan's attack route.

"But this footage can't prove the attacker is Chinese. He can also be Japanese!"

Many questioned the information available.

But then, a video was played.

It was filmed using a cell phone so it wasn't very clear, but the audience could still see a crimson aura rising from a mountain and shooting towards the East. The person who filmed it was yelling in the video and Chinese people could tell that he was speaking a Chinese dialect used in Southern China.

Kim Kashan analyzed, "According to what is seen in the video and the IP address of the uploader, the crimson aura came from a mountain in the suburbs of Jin City in China.

"It flashed across China, then went to Japan through the East Sea and started attacking.

"Based on the route, the attacker is most likely Chinese."

At this moment, the ratings of the entire BBC station soared.

The Internet was in chaos because of this report. The Chinese netizens were thrilled.

"The superman who attacked the United States is Chinese. He's a hero! The United States has been running wild around the world and we've always wanted to take them down."

Only those close to the Chen family were surprised.

That looked like the group of mansions on East Mountain where the Chen family was... And wasn't Master Chen of Jiang Bei the most famous member of the Chen family? Was this superman Master Chen?

In Yan Jin.

Xu Rongfei saw the program on the BBC and was stunned.

Ningxin was still guessing who the superman was and considering if he was the legendary Myanmar Sage, but Xu Rongfei suddenly said, "There's no need to guess. I know who he is."

"Who?" Ningxin was shocked.

"Chen Fan," Xu Rongfei replied.

At the mansion of the Wang family on the North Mountain.

"It's Chen Fan!" Wang Zhongguo said seriously.

The other members of the Wang Family were startled and Xue Hongmei sat there without saying a word. Chen Fan had destroyed five aircraft carrier fleets and half of the forces of the American Navy since he shot to the sky.

Such a peerless person was totally beyond people's imagination!

"How dare he? How dare he? It's the United States!" Wang Keqin murmured.

Right!

Everyone was terrified.

That was the United States, the dominator of the world and the mightiest superpower!

How could Chen Fan attack and declare war against them?

But everyone became speechless after watching the crimson light which crashed the aircraft carriers in the videos.

The Qin family, the Xiao family, the Han family... All of them shut their mouths and widened their eyes when they saw the footage.

They finally realized how powerful Chen Fan was!

In the past, Xue Hongmei and Han Hongkun had dared to offend Chen Fan because they didn't know that he was a dormant dragon. When the dragon finally awoke, everyone was in awe of its power.

At the Su family mansion in Wu Zhou.

Old Lord Su stared at the crimson aura in the video and glanced down.

His brothers and his son, Su Zhengde, lowered their heads and couldn't look into Old Lord Su's eyes. When Chen Fan went missing, the Su family had made things difficult for the Fang family and the Chen family. Many members of their third generation, including Su Qian, even gloated when Fang Qiong was detained by the United States.

Su Yanghao heaved a sigh.

"We finally had someone like Fang Qiong after three centuries.

"But we didn't cherish the opportunity and even pushed her away. And now, someone's challenging the United States, the dominator of the world, for her sake! If Fang Qiong were still a member of the Su Family, she would have brought us true glory."

Everyone remained silent and lowered their heads, feeling regretful.

Regardless if Chen Fan won the battle or not, he would be remembered for generations! It was because this was the first time someone fought against a superpower on his own!

This was an unprecedented feat throughout human history!

Su Xiao stood there looking at the crimson aura on the TV and was in awe.

Who didn't want their lovers to go against the world for them?

As opposed to the netizens's reactions, all the countries around the world and the underground world were in silence.

The war had begun!

All the other countries, including England, France and Russia, had never thought that Chen Fan would go head to head with the United States and they had no idea what to do. The entire Dark World was stupefied.

"Chen Beixuan is too fierce. He doesn't care about public pressure, nuclear weapons or threats to his family. The United States has underestimated him," someone sighed and said.

"No, we all did," the Observer said calmly, "We've been wrong since the beginning. We thought that Gods would obey the will of mortals, but we didn't know that they wouldn't be threatened by humans."

"Chen Beixuan is a human, not a God!" Another person retorted.

"When he shot to the sky and suppressed the world's superpowers, he was already a God! An Entity that overlooks the world high above!" the Observer said.

The entire forum immediately became silent.

Everyone was excited, as if they were witnessing the making of history.

At the same time, a land appeared in front of Chen Fan.

It was the United States!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 710 Reappearance of Nuclear Weapons

The Pacific Ocean was ten thousand kilometers wide from east to west.

China was located in the west of the ocean and the United States in the east.

Chen Fan took only two hours to fly from Jin City to the United States across the entire Pacific Ocean. He had already astonished the world and frightened everybody in those two hours.

"God has come to Earth!"

"No, that isn't God. It's superman! Superman in the East!"

"We never thought that we'd be living in a movie and witnessing this moment!"

Countless people exclaimed.

The White House, the Parliament and the Pentagon were in chaos. Minister Arnold looked at the screen with a pale face. The bright red dot representing Chen Fan had already arrived at the west coast of the United States and behind him was a messy war zone.

"Sir, the White House has called so many times. The President has sent over three Special Envoys to ask if we can stop Chen Beixuan or not! The members of the Parliament also commanded you to give an explanation," the deputy said anxiously.

"This is a moment of life and death for the United States. I request permission to use nuclear weapons," Arnold said.

The three Special Envoys from the White House nodded in agreement.

"The President asked us to bring the passcode box here. We must do everything to eliminate Chen Beixuan!"

When the enemy arrived, the mobilization of the United States was shown in full!

The Navy, the Army, the Air Force, the National Guard, the Marines... The United States set up many lines of defense in the country.

Many missiles were prepared and the entire North America became a giant missile base!

Over five thousand fighter aircrafts took off from the military bases in North America towards Chen Fan. The military strength of the United States was beyond overwhelming.

They had eleven aircraft carrier fleets, thirteen thousand fighter aircrafts, ten thousand tanks, thousands of missiles and countless military satellites. The forces they had were enough to defeat all the other countries in a world war.

When they deployed these forces, the world was stunned.

Countless people were frightened after seeing the fighter aircrafts in the sky and the weapons on the ground on TV. How would someone dare to challenge such a superpower?

But Chen Fan's power was more terrifying!

"Bang!"

Chen Fan didn't cover himself anymore when he arrived in North America. The crimson aura flashed above Los Angeles and many people in California looked up with troubled feelings.

The battle almost started in an instant.

Numerous F14, F15 and F16 fighter aircrafts flew over to stop Chen Fan. Many missiles were launched from ten kilometers away and were shooting towards Chen Fan at several times the speed of sound.

Chen Fan didn't dodge; he simply shot forward with his crimson aura.

His initial-success Divine Body was impervious to normal missiles. His True Essence had already blown up the supersonic missiles when they were a hundred meters away and there were plenty of fireballs in the sky.

"Oh my God!"

Seeing this sight, the eyes of many pilots popped out.

Even though they had seen the videos, they were still startled when they witnessed this with their own eyes. Someone could withstand missile attacks with his body?

"Kill!"

Chen Fan then merged with the blade and turned into a blade aura, which was going as fast as ten times the speed of sound!

"Swish!"

Before the pilots knew it, Chen Fan had already flashed and appeared ten kilometers further, just in front of them.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Fireballs exploded in the sky and a dozen fighter aircrafts were split in half every time the blade aura moved. Chen Fan destroyed forty three fighter aircrafts before stopping.

Ten times the speed of sound was quite difficult for Chen Fan at the moment.

The rest of the fighter aircrafts had already made evasive maneuvers out of fear. There were hundreds of fighter aircrafts; even if they couldn't kill him they could besiege and interfere with his movements.

Facing the group of escaping aircrafts, Chen Fan yelled with a cold voice.

"Sword array!"

Swish!

A ray of light shot out from the Blade Strengthening Gourd and turned into some small swords. There were ninety nine swords in the sky and each of them was a Quasi-Spirit Artifact.

It was the "Starry Sword Array" Chen Fan got from the Sword Palace!

This was the array Old Man of Nine Abandonments used to guard the Sword Palace and suppress the Realm of Cultivation in the ancient times. The ninety nine flying swords together were strong enough to kill an Earth Level Deity, and what Chen Fan focused on was the array's capability for mass killing.

"Go"

Chen Fan flicked his fingers.

The ninety nine flying swords turned into ninety nine beams of light that went after the fighter aircrafts. Each of them broke the sonic barrier, creating some squeaking sounds and bright blade auras; they were comparable to the slash Chen Fan used in Japan.

There came the sound of an explosion in the sky.

"Boom, boom!"

In a blink, almost a hundred fighter aircrafts crashed. Even though they had supersonic capabilities, they were large and clumsy. How could they get rid of the flying swords?

If people from the Realm of Cultivation saw this, they would definitely be dumbfounded.

Controlling nine flying swords at the same time was already the limit for an Earth Level Deity, but Chen Fan was controlling almost a hundred of them. Each flying sword was considerably powerful, meaning that his Immortal Will and True Essence had almost reached the Golden Core Level.

In fact, only the reincarnation of a Tribulation Cultivator like Chen Fan could control so many Dharma Artifacts at the same time.

"Boom!"

After three waves of attacks.

The sky became empty. Most of the hundreds of aircrafts crashed in less than one minute and only a few of them were able to escape.

This scene was broadcasted in the command center of the Pentagon through satellites and drones.

The entire hall was in silence.

Many Admirals, Lieutenant Generals, Commanders and Minister Arnold looked at the screen, watching the group of fighter aircrafts being destroyed by Chen Fan.

Time went by.

Five minutes later, Chen Fan broke through the second line of defense in Nevada and a missile brigade was annihilated.

Ten minutes later, Chen Fan entered Utah. The United States deployed three Air Defense Divisions there but they were all annihilated. The Purple Thunder Blade swept across the sky and killed thousands of American soldiers.

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Fan entered Colorado...

The lines of defense were destroyed easily by Chen Fan and everyone could only think of one word:

Powerful!

Indeed, those lines of defense were like steel walls during the First and Second World War, but they couldn't stop Chen Fan at all.

He could easily destroy a group of fighter aircrafts, missile bases or lines of defense.

"Sir, the 1st Cavalry Division was annihilated thirty seconds ago," the deputy said.

Everyone was startled.

The 1st Cavalry Division of the United States had a history of a few centuries and was the most elite armored division in the country. They were equipped with hundreds of tanks and countless missiles, but they still couldn't stop Chen Fan.

The most important thing was that the 1st Cavalry Division was deployed in Kansas, which was located in Midwest America and was closer to the country's capital, Washington.

Benjamin, the Navy's Lieutenant General yelled, "Sir, we must make a decision now."

"Sir, please give your orders."

The Generals got up one by one and looked at Minister Arnold.

Minister Arnold stood on the second floor, gripping the fence tight. He had white hair and his body was slightly bent.

After a while, Minister Arnold opened his eyes and said, "Fire the nuclear bomb!"

Chen Fan's route had always been monitored by the American satellites. They could easily predict his path and set up a trap in advance.

Right when Chen Fan defeated another troop, the nuclear bomb buried underground immediately exploded.

"Boom!"

The world seemed to have cracked, bringing the arrival of the apocalypse.

A giant mushroom cloud rose and stirred up several million tons of soil which then spread in all directions. Those a few hundred kilometers away could also see the fire and hear the thunderous sound.

August 15th, 2012, 5pm.

The United States detonated a three million-ton hydrogen bomb on the plains of Kansas.

The world was stunned!

Billions of people around the planet witnessed this scene through different broadcasts.

Nobody had thought that the United States would really use this weapon.

Everyone was watching anxiously; they saw how invincible Chen Fan was! Any troop or weapon in front of Chen Fan was smashed.

At the moment, nuclear weapons were mankind's last line of defense.

"He's certainly dead! Not even God can withstand nuclear explosions. The temperature at the epicenter was more than ten million degrees," many people said.

And more were feeling troubled.

On one hand, they hoped Chen Fan would survive because he was like a hero in the legends, as grand as the Monkey King or Prometheus, when he attacked the United States! On the other hand, nobody wanted to live in a world that had a God who couldn't even be killed with nuclear weapons.

In Yan Jin.

"Is he dead?"

Ningxin's eyes were wide open.

Xu Rongfei had torn the blanket and her nails penetrated deep into her palms without realizing what she was doing; she simply watched anxiously.

In Jin City.

All the members of the North Qiong Sect were extremely terrified.

Those who were weak-hearted dared not look and had already lowered their heads.

The Wang Family.

"Brave, brave!" Xue Hongmei said with her eyes as round as saucers.

In Japan, in the West, in the United States.

Many of Chen Fan's enemies were ready to cheer and celebrate his death.

"Boom!"

A beam of crimson light surrounded by flames and thunderbolts shot out of the mushroom cloud, which looked like the Monkey King rushing towards the Buddha five centuries before.

At that moment.

The entire Earth was in silence!

Everyone was stunned!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 711 Destroying Cities!

He was still alive?

The crimson aura that shot out of the mushroom cloud was clearly seen in the middle of the screen and nobody could stop thinking about it.

Anyone who had common sense knew what this meant!

"He survived a nuclear blast?"

Countless people were stunned.

This was something that could only be seen in legends or movies, but it happened in front of the world today. The destructive nuclear bomb didn't kill Chen Fan?

"He's definitely not a human. Is he God or a demon?"

The Americans were devastated.

At this moment, countless people in the world got on their knees, kowtowing to the crimson aura flashing on the screen!

"He's the incarnation of God! He must be here to punish the United States for their sins," many claimed.

Many people on the Martial Arts and Dark World forums around the world were at a loss for words. Even though Chen Fan had returned from the Blood Sea and most of them wondered if nuclear bombs could kill him, seeing it with their own eyes produced an indescribable effect.

"My nation has made a big mistake!"

Erika closed her eyes and heaved a sigh.

Many Japanese swordsmen seemed to have lost their souls.

As for the Wang Family, Wang Keqin was frozen like a statue while Xue Hongmei's eyelids couldn't go any wider. Wang Zhongguo heaved a sigh, then closed his eyes and shook his head with a wry smile.

"I pushed away such an outstanding grandson. I thought I was clever but I couldn't even see his talents."

In Yan Jin, Jin City and Hong Kong.

Many people who were close to Chen Fan were relieved.

Wang Xiaoyun even lost her energy and sat on the ground. Then she yelled, "This stupid boy! He's always making people worry."

Even so, her eyes turned red and her mind was finally relaxed.

Chen Fan's survival was a bolt from the blue for the American Army.

At the Pentagon of the United States of America.

"That's impossible! That's impossible!"

The Generals were all terrified.

Nuclear bombs were the most powerful weapons on Earth and one was enough to level a city with a population of a million people. It was totally out of their expectations that Chen Fan could withstand nuclear explosions; this outcome was something that they definitely couldn't accept.

The commander of the Navy yelled, "Keep going. If one doesn't work, then we'll launch ten, a hundred! If one million tons of explosives aren't strong enough, then we'll use ten million tons!"

Minister Arnold's fingers trembled but he didn't stop the commander.

Soon, a second nuclear bomb was heading to the Missouri state line. It was a long-range missile but Chen Fan wasn't planning to go head to head with it anymore.

He had sensed the previous nuclear bomb.

Based on his speed, he should have escaped easily from the blast radius, but Chen Fan wanted to see if his body could withstand a nuclear explosion, which was why he didn't run right away.

When the hydrogen bomb exploded, its impact was destructive. Even though Chen Fan wasn't at the epicenter, he was quite near to it. His Mercury Armor was shattered by the explosion and it turned into mercury that ran back into his body.

After that, his "Golden Flame Armor" also cracked because of the impact. His Defensive True Essence turned into dust after 0.1 second and he got out of the explosion area with only the strength of his body.

"The power of a nuclear explosion is indeed terrifying. It's comparable to an attack of a peak-stage Golden Core Cultivator. If it wasn't for my Mercury Armor, the Golden Flame Divine Power, my Connate Level and a much stronger Divine Body, I wouldn't have survived the explosion."

Chen Fan pondered.

His body had absorbed the essence of six Kindred and had become stronger. Although it hadn't reached the phenomenal success level, it already had a hint of immortality, meaning that Chen Fan was close to attain a Golden Core Body.

"Now that I've already found your limits, you'll never be able to kill me."

Chen Fan sneered.

He instantly broke the sonic barrier and left the explosion area at ten times the speed of sound.

The United States Army was already in a raging frenzy.

The third nuclear bomb was dropped near the Missouri River by a B2 Bomber.

The fourth nuclear bomb exploded near Springfield. It had been planted there in advance but the time needed for it to initiate was enough for Chen Fan to run away.

The fifth one was dropped...

The American Army dropped the seventh and the most powerful nuclear bomb. It was a seven million-ton intercontinental missile shot from a nuclear submarine. After going out of the atmosphere, it dropped at more than ten times the speed of sound and exploded in St. Louis.

Millions of people in the city witnessed the earth-shattering power of the nuclear bomb.

"That's insane!" countless people in front of the TV mumbled

The United States Army had already gone mad. They didn't care about anything else. They even planned to plant a ten million-ton hydrogen bomb in the city center, to detonate it when Chen Fan went past, but Minister Arnold stopped them.

"You think you're the only one who can do this?"

Chen Fan was also enraged after being attacked by seven nuclear bombs.

The United States was apparently determined to fight until the bitter end. If he didn't retaliate with a power of a similar magnitude, he would never be able to stop them.

"Let me show you that I'm also capable of destroying the United States."

Chen Fan's eyes were filled with coldness.

Rock Town in Illinois.

Rock Town was a famous Army base in the United States. It was an armored division with more than ten thousand soldiers stationed there to guard the gateway to Washington.

That day, all soldiers were prepared to fight as they knew Chen Fan was coming.

"What's up with this man? Why does he hate the United States? Why is he attacking us? Is this really a punishment from God?" Corporal James said with a cigar in his mouth.

"Shut up. He's only an enemy, not a God. We'll defeat him no matter how strong he is," the Second Lieutenant said.

While they were talking, someone suddenly shouted.

Many of them looked up and saw an unbelievable sight.

A crimson cloud appeared which covered a few miles of the sky like a cloud cover. Everyone's eyes popped out because of the shock.

That wasn't the evening glow. It was fire and meteorites!

"Five Elements Dharma Spells, Skyfall Spell!"

Then, an endless rain of fire rain fell from the sky like meteorites smashing down, covering the entire Rock Town. In almost an instant, all buildings, armored vehicles and constructions within several miles had been crushed by the meteorites, and the ground collapsed by a few meters.

Looking from above, a large and smooth pithole appeared on the ground as if it were a mirror.

He destroyed a town with one attack!

Thousands of soldiers were burnt into ashes.

This was the power of the Skyfall Spell! After reaching the Connate Level, Chen Fan could cast a lot of large-scale Dharma Spells that had an energy output comparable to modern weapons. And yet, these Dharma Spells needed a long time to gather energy, so they couldn't be used in time during a heated combat. Instead, they were perfect for attacking some solid targets.

This was only the beginning.

Ten minutes later, Chen Fan used the Thunderstorm Spell above Oak Lawn.

The sky above the city was covered with bolts of thunder, which turned into a white thunderball of about ten feet large. It then smacked down with a terrifying energy.

"Boom!"

A bright white light shone over Oak Lawn. It wasn't just ordinary light but the terrifying flashes of lightning, which immediately burnt down the entire city. Countless buildings turned into dust and the fortifications were destroyed.

Oak Lawn was a small city and most residents had already moved out. It had been transformed into a defensive base of the United States and more than ten thousand American soldiers were stationed there. However, all of them had died and the entire city turned into ruins.

Countless people on Earth witnessed this attack.

Billions of people immediately gasped. Such an attack could certainly compare to a small-scale nuclear weapon.

And yet, Chen Fan didn't stop.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Fan used another Dharma Spell, the Earthquake Spell. A military base built on a mountain was destroyed; the entire mountain collapsed.

Half an hour later, Chen Fan entered the Reynolds Air Force Base...

He used six Dharma Spells to destroy six enormous military bases and kill thousands of American soldiers along the way.

But this wasn't the most horrifying deed.

Forty five minutes later, Chen Fan was above Detroit.

Detroit.

This huge city located in Michigan covered an area of dozens of miles and was once known as the most glorious car city in the United States. Many car companies were founded there; there had been over five million workers during its golden years.

At the moment, the city had already become empty. A lot of car companies withdrew and the city turned into a place where thieves, gangsters and Latin Americans gathered. Dozens of murders and shootouts happened every day; many of the common citizens had left the city, leaving countless abandoned buildings behind.

Chen Fan stood in the air, overlooking this empty city expressionlessly.

"It's time to let the humans on Earth see what we're capable of."

He stretched out his hand in front of the world and countless satellites; a colorful seal surrounded by thunderbolts appeared on his palm.

Five Thunder Seal!

The energy that had been accumulated in the seal for so long was finally surging out.

"Boom!"

This time, Chen Fan initiated the Five Thunder Seal with the power of the Connate Level and released the "Five Elements Thunder," which was much more powerful than the last time he used it in London. After all, the Five Thunder Seal had just been completed back then and the accumulated energy wasn't that much. At the moment, the energy gathered in the seal was extremely strong.

"Boom!"

Detroit was struck by a bolt of lightning.

The broadcast paused for a second.

Then, thousands of buildings in the city shattered like sand castles on the beach. The whole city then exploded and disappeared.

The explosion left a flat land of dozens of miles wide.

The ground was as smooth as a mirror and the entire city, including many gangsters living there, had turned into dust after being struck by the lightning.

A city was destroyed with one strike!

This was the real power of the Five Elements Thunder!

The entire Earth went silent. All the eyes focused on the broadcasts had almost popped out!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 712 A Crimson Ligh

This was Detroit!

It used to rank among the top ten biggest cities in North America, but it was a mere shadow of its former glory, practically a ghost city. The skyscrapers that sprawled across the massive city were gone, erased by Chen Fan from the surface of the Earth.

Such terrifying power!

The scene turned everyone into a bundle of nerves, gasping in unison. Suddenly, a deadly silence fell over the entire planet as the seven billion men and women on earth were all rendered speechless by the development

Many elders kneeled on the ground and exclaimed in a shaky voice, "Such power can only belong to a God. He must be the True God who has descended on earth."

Meanwhile, most other people were still trying to overcome their fear.

They might be less afraid of such power if it belonged to a nation instead of a single man, since nations acted more reasonably than men they knew very little of. So far, no one knew if Chen Fan was good or evil, crazy or sane. He could very well be a psychopath that wielded a deadly weapon.

Meanwhile, the citizens of the United States were shaken to the core.

Most Americans had visited Detroit before and many had grown up there. Even those who had never been to the city must have driven a car that had been made in Detroit at some point in their lives. For such a renowned landmark to be completely erased from their country was a devastating blow to the Americans.

"He is such a beast! "

Even the netizens in China were shocked by Chen Fan's incredible display of brutality.

Their fear and disbelief were shared by all the other nations of the world.

Before that day, many people had already been aware that Chen Fan possessed a super weapon which he used to destroy a small island. However, the City of Detroit was not a small island; it was a metropolis that was several times larger in size.

At the White House, the United States of America...

"Damn it! Didn't you say that Chen Beixuan's weapon was not ready yet? Explain THIS to me then! His power has grown at least ten times!" the president of the United States exclaimed.

Sitting around him were ministers of different government departments; they all kept their silence.

The Director of the CIA was among them, and he, too, remained quiet.

They had grossly underestimated Chen Fan's power. When he unleashed the Five Elements Thunder in a London suburb five years back, he had drawn energy from nature only for a very brief moment.

On the other hand, the Divine Thunder that Chen Fan had just dropped was the result of more than half a year's worth of energy. Once Chen Fan had reached the Connate Level, the efficiency of Chen Fan's work was increased enormously. In addition, Chen Fan had channeled most of the Kindred's Essence into the Five Thunder Seal to boost its power.

With so much energy wrapped up inside the Thunder Seal, its attack had easily razed an entire city to the ground.

Such power was almost comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

A few officers came up to the president and urged, "Mr. President, it's not safe here, you should head to the emergency shelter right away. Chen Beixuan may arrive at any time, and we all need your leadership during this time of crisis. "

The President wanted to say something, but nothing came out of his mouth. He considered his options for a moment and eventually decided to follow the officers to the helicopters.

Meanwhile, inside the Pentagon, the event had turned many American generals into frozen statues.

Fear and shock were written all over Minister Arnold's face.

"Minister, what's our plan? Are we going to activate the Doomsday Device?"

Minister Arnold raised a hand and was going to give an order, but the hesitation and fear in his eyes got the better of him.

The Doomsday Device was a nuclear weapon created during the Cold War. During that time, the USSR had tested a fifty-million-ton atom bomb called the Khrushchev Bomb. It had completely pulverized everything within a few hundred square kilometers.

In response to that threat, the United States had also created their own super weapon: a hundred million ton nuclear bomb. It was so deadly that it would definitely cause harm to innocent civilians when used. It was powerful enough to destroy a small country on earth.

"Minister, you have to make the decision now before it's too late. "

Many generals looked at Arnold.

Minister Arnold took a deep breath to pull himself together. Even as he was about to give the order, he let out a ugly grin and said, "It's already too late."

Everyone looked out the window and saw the blue sky had turned a furious red, like boiling blood.

While Chen Fan was wreaking havoc in the United States, citizens of the other nations took to the internet to find out more about this mysterious young man. Not a lot of people knew who Chen Fan was and even fewer saw this war coming.

Some people suspected that Chen Fan was a super soldier from China, a product of the Chinese military's secret projects.

Some claimed that Chen Fan was a superman from the planet Krypton.

Many people also believed that Chen Fan was the incarnation of God, and he was going to punish the Americans for their sins.

Rumors and gossip quickly spread across the internet like wildfire.

Many people suspected that Chen Fan was the Myanmar Sage. However, the Sage was seen radiating an azure glow, while Chen Fan was surrounded by a crimson light.

"You guys are full of sh*t. That's Chen Beixuan, the number one warrior on the Divine Roll and a living legend. The United States kidnapped his fiancée so he went apesh*t on them."

Some Martial Artists from China who were aware of the situation finally broke their silence.

However, no one on the internet seemed to believe them at first.

A lone wolf takes on a powerful nation to save his lover. Such plot was not only inconceivable in real life, but also trite even by Read standards.

Over time, more and more details about Chen Fan were exposed on the Internet.

Those fuzzy images and videos when coupled with detailed witness accounts provided an almost complete picture of Chen Fan's achievements over the last five years, many of which were censored by the governments around the world until then.

In January, 2009, Chen Fan defeated the Fourteenth Brigade in Japan.

In March, 2010, Chen Fan defeated the Infantry Division 116 in Russia and killed a Lieutenant General.

In November, 2011, Chen Fan annihilated the Black Sea Fleet and downed over a dozen fighter jets from the European Union.

When those individual dots were joined together, people finally started to see the common denominator in these events.

By then, Chen Fan could no longer hide his true identity from the world.

"Is it for real? Can a twenty two year old young man do that? He defeated the European Union, Russia, and Japan, now he is taking on the United States?"

"What about the Dark World, the Blood Race and the Blood Wolf? Are you sure those are real?"

"Superpower Chen? Heavenly Chen? Curmudgeon Chen? What kind of names are those?"

Many people on the internet voice their questions.

However, if those events weren't real, how could they explain what was happening then? As the people came to terms with their discoveries, many girls quickly found themselves enthralled by Chen Fan.

"Fang Qiong is the luckiest girl in the world. If only I had a boyfriend who would start a war against the world just for me. "

Infatuation aside, many people still found it hard to believe and so they focused their attention on Chen Fan and the United States, patiently waiting for Chen Fan's next move.

Supreme Court. Washington State, USA.

Standing next to the American Parliament was the Supreme Court building. Sixteen enormous marble columns supported its roof and its entrance was flanked by two statues, representing law and order. The air inside was heavy with solemnity.

Nine Associate Judges of the Supreme Court sat in high chairs, as they went over Fang Qiong's case.

Inside the room, they were the gods and their words the bible. Not even the president could revoke their decision, much less anyone else.

The chief Associate Judge, Susan Lean was in a good mood.

She studied Fang Qiong with a smirk, as if she were a poor little critter that fell into her trap.

Fang Qiong had denied all the allegations, and insisted that she was innocent. However, as the evidence and witnesses were presented to the court one after another, her heinous crime became apparent to the jury.

"Miss Fang Qiong, you must know how weak and pathetic your defense is. With all this evidence against you, we can put you behind bars even without your confession. Don't worry, we will have your pretty little boyfriend too, so that you two can have a reunion in jail."

Susan Lean grinned.

"I am innocent, and so is he!"

Fang Qiong held her chin up, looking as strong and defiant as ever.

Susan Lean thinned her lips into a smile and kept her silence. She ordered the court to proceed with the rest of the hearing.

It wasn't long before Susan Lean found out that something was amiss in the air. There was a noticeable disturbance among the crowd and many people were staring at their cell phone screens with shock and disbelief.

"Order!"

Susan Lean hit the block with the gavel heavily.

This was the most high profile case she would ever get her hands on, so no disturbances would be tolerated.

However, people seemed to be ignoring her, and the quiet murmur had grown into an open discussion.

"What the heck?"

Even as Susan Lean wondered what was going on, the courtroom gate was pushed open and a group of men in black suits stormed in. Susan Lean recognized the person leading the group, it was the CIA Director. Why is he here?

The Director came up to the Judge sitting at the head of the table and whispered something into his ears.

The judge's face paled almost instantly.

"What's going on Lorent?" Susan Lean asked with a scowl.

Judge Lorent squeezed out a smile and said, "Your honor, let's call it a day. Something... big has happened."

"What? What would be more important than this trial?" Susan Lean asked indignantly.

"Her... her fiancé is here," Judge Lorent replied disheartenedly.

"So what? Even the president of the United States has to follow my rules in this room. No one can save her now, not even god," Susan Lean hissed.

Suddenly, she heard screams outside the window.

Susan Lean furrowed her brow and looked towards the commotion. She saw something that she would never forget.

The formerly cloudless sky had been covered with crimson clouds. She looked closer and realized that those weren't clouds at all; it was fire. The entire sky was on fire.

A crimson light traced an arc across the firmament and landed at the Washington State.

Chen Fan had arrived!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

713 Capitol Hill

After Detroit was completely destroyed.

In Yan Jin.

Ningxin yelled, "Fei Fei, why did you tell me he's so powerful? He destroyed cities and survived nuclear explosions like a Deity! If I knew earlier, I would have married him."

Her face was filled with jealousy.

"Fang Qiong is so lucky! Somebody went head to head with the United States because of her. Why doesn't this happen to me?"

Xu Rongfei rolled her eyes.

But looking at the crimson aura on the screen, she couldn't help but feel a bit sad.

The Wang Family.

Everyone remained silent. Nobody could say a word; not even Xue Hongmei and Wang Keqin.

All of them looked pale, as if they had lost their souls.

Chen Fan's attack had given the Wang Family a severe blow. After displaying a power that could control the Earth, he wasn't someone that could be defeated with gossip and conspiracies.

The Xiao Family.

"When the strength of a person reaches the maximum, all powers, money and threats become inconsequential. I used to sneer at Chen Beixuan saying that he's impersonal, but why does he need to care about what other people think? Even if the world is against him, so what? He can just kill us all."

Old Lord Xiao shook his head and smiled wryly.

Xiao Xuan blanched and clenched his fists as he looked at the screen.

The other members of the Xiao Family were trembling as they lowered their heads. All words were useless before such a power. Chen Fan was a God, a Deity, a heavenly emperor!

In the North Qiong Sect.

A'Xiu, Yu Wenjin and Yukishiro Sa were beyond thrilled.

"Master is too powerful! It'll be great if I can be like him in the future," A'Xiu said enviously.

"You will," Hua Yunfeng said.

He recalled the scenes he had glimpsed where the Overlords killed in the universe, destroyed pieces of land and split the sky. In front of such a powerful energy, the Five Elements Thunder was nothing.

"One day, Master will conquer this planet and other worlds, and we'll follow him, bathing in his glory," Hua Yunfeng said firmly.

Some people around the world were astonished while others were terrified! Chen Fan's friends were cheering while his enemies were feeling devastated.

But all this couldn't interfere with his determination.

The crimson aura kept flashing toward Washington.

Washington.

The capital of the United States and the center of the world's power.

Meanwhile, the entire city was in a panic. Everyone knew that the demon who had killed many people was about to arrive. He had just leveled Detroit. Then, would he destroy Washington as well?

Countless cars were driving out of the city.

It looked like the end of the world. All residents left their valuables and got out of Washington as soon as possible. The rich tycoons had even escaped long before on their helicopters.

"Please stay calm. Don't block the roads. The United States Army will protect you no matter what."

Many armored vehicles entered Washington and troops arrived from all parts of the country, guarding the White House and Capitol Hill. These fully-armored American soldiers were holding their guns tight with sweat in their hands.

They had never been this anxious.

Because their enemy was a superman, a God!

An attractive female reporter yelled in front of the camera,"This is BBC News and I'm your reporter, Catalina. I'm in front of Capitol Hill to deliver the latest news. The attacker will probably come to Washington but we don't know if he would destroy the city or negotiate with the United States. Let us pray that he's a rational person..."

Capitol Hill, where the United States Congress was located.

It was right at the center of Washington, between the White House and the Supreme Court. This was the center of power of the entire United States and the world. The Councillors in Congress controlled the fate of the country, and they could impeach the President and declare war on the world.

At the same time, countless soldiers and media had gathered around Capitol Hill.

Other than Catalina, reporters from CNN, Radio France, RIA Novosti and Associated Press had also gone to cover the events.

When Chen Fan's crimson aura entered the United States...

The entire world was focusing on him. Countless military satellites were operating and many supersonic drones followed him from afar. Places Chen Fan went past became ruins and thousands of soldiers were defeated. Everyone watching this was stunned and more questions came to their minds.

"Who is he?"

"Why is he attacking the United States?"

Even though netizens claimed that it was Chen Beixuan who was trying to save his fiancée, Fang Qiong, there were too many rumors and not many people believed that. More of them thought it was an alien or an incarnation of God.

A white councillor came out and tried to calm the people on Capitol Hill, "Don't worry. We're the guardians of the United States. We're confident that we can protect the country and maintain the peace in the world."

And yet, the people weren't foolish. Not even nuclear weapons could kill Chen Beixuan, so who would rather stay in Washington and die? Many reporters from BBC and CNN were also asking all kinds of questions crazily, giving the Councillor a headache.

Meanwhile, in Capitol Hill, the Councillors were in the middle of a heated discussion.

Councillors of the Opposition blamed Lance and the others for letting the Army and the Star World Corporation drop nuclear weapons, pissing off Chen Fan. Lance refuted them, saying that it was passed by resolution and everyone voted in favor.

While they were arguing.

"Boom!"

A piercing sound came.

A crimson aura shot from the west to the east and the world seemed to have split. Behind the crimson aura was fire, which enveloped the city and made the sky red.

Chen Fan is here!

Countless terrified residents in Washington stopped and looked up.

Many soldiers held their guns while being extremely nervous.

The reporters turned their cameras to the sky.

The staff in Capitol Hill, the White House and the Supreme Court all looked at the crimson aura in shock through the windows.

The crimson aura slowly stopped above Capitol Hill. The entire world was watching and billions of people were holding their breath anxiously.

"Whoosh!"

The crimson aura disappeared and a man was exposed.

The man was enveloped in fire and his face couldn't be seen clearly. He was wearing a golden armor and his black long hair fluttered in the wind. There seemed to be red flames in his eyes and the fire in the sky fell onto his back, creating a crimson cape that covered the world.

"Is he human or a god?"

Many people gasped before this sight.

In the Federal Supreme Court.

"What is that?"

Susan Lean looked at the sky curiously.

The sky suddenly became red in color as if there were a fire and a crimson aura stopped right above her head. "Is this the evening glow or is it created by some kind of high-tech projector?" Susan Lean wondered.

The members of the jury had already turned pale. Someone shouted, "It's him. He's here!"

"Please remain quiet in court!" Susan Lean yelled.

But more of them got up and ran outside. Lorent even grabbed Susan Lean and said anxiously, "Your Honor, let's go. There's no time."

"Why? We're not done with the case..." Susan Lean said coldly and was about to scold Lorent for his rudeness.

But then, Chen Fan emerged from the crimson aura. Susan Lean was shocked by this sight; she couldn't say anything at all.

Fang Qiong looked up and stared at the man.

Chen Fan came down from the sky onto Capitol Hill in front of the whole world. The white Councillor who was trying to calm the reporters saw this and froze like a statue.

Chen Fan overlooked everyone in the fire and started speaking, "You want to put me on trial?"

As Chen Fan spoke, claps of thunder came as if the world were collapsing. Countless windows on the buildings around him shattered into pieces.

A terrifying energy fell on Capitol Hill and many soldiers immediately knelt down. Ordinary people weren't qualified to stand in front of a Connate Cultivator!

People around the world were watching.

The Councillor slowly bent his body and finally got on his knees.

The reporter from BBC immediately took a picture before kneeling!

A fire fiend was standing in the sky disdaining the world; beneath him were people kneeling, including the Councillors, meaning that the United States Capitol that represented the highest authority in the country had also yielded to Chen Fan.

He stood above Washington; that image was deeply imprinted in everyone's mind. They would never forget him even after thousands of years!

"That's the most humiliating moment in human history!"

"The greatest empire of mankind surrendered to a person! This means that the Extraordinaries will rule the world! This planet will never be under our control again."

— The 44th President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

714 The United States Yielded

On Capitol Hill.

Chen Fan's arrival astonished the world. The scene where everyone knelt before him and everything he said was translated and broadcasted through countless TV stations and media around the world for billions of people to see.

Everyone was first startled, then they started to wonder.

"Is he speaking Chinese?"

"What does he mean by being put on trial? The United States is going to try him? That's why he's upset?"

The Internet in China was also stirred.

"Sh*t, he really is Chinese!"

"The United States has messed with the wrong person. He's a Deity from China."

"Wait, why do I feel like this has something to do with North Qiong Corp's trial?"

Then, the Councillor who knelt down looked up and said, "Sir, the United States didn't want to offend you... It's just a misunderstanding!"

George Wood had never been so frightened and embarrassed.

As a new Councillor, he had been assigned by his seniors to calm the media and the people, but he had never thought that Chen Fan would appear right at this moment. Chen Fan's energy made him tremble; it was as if an ancient beast were in front of them.

"Hm?"

Chen Fan's eyes were filled with anger.

"The Star World Corporation first sneak-attacked me with a nuclear bomb, then the United States detained my fiancée and put her on public trial. Your judges even claimed that they would try me as well. And now, you're telling me it was just a misunderstanding?

"I, Chen Beixuan, am not a pushover.

"Surrender, or die!"

Chen Fan spoke as loud as claps of thunder.

Countless people weren't even able to stand and they covered their ears. His voice resounded throughout Washington.

The clouds in the sky rolled because of his voice. George was smacked down with his face on the ground; he couldn't get up at all.

At the Supreme Court.

Susan Lean widened her eyes and stared at the man that came out from the fire in the sky. She had never thought that the invincible Chen Beixuan was Fang Qiong's fiancé.

People turned their attention from the judges, lawyers and members of the jury to Fang Qiong.

They were in awe, envious and remorseful.

Fang Qiong ignored them; she only looked at Chen Fan. The bravery, fear and frustration seemed to have dissipated. Only Chen Fan was left in her eyes.

At the same time, Chen Fan was on Capitol Hill.

The Councillors inside couldn't just sit there anymore.

A dignified, elegant Councillor came forward and yelled, "Mr. Chen, nobody wants to convict you. It's just a misunder..."

Before he finished talking, Chen Fan flicked his fingers and burned the Councillor into ashes.

"What else?" Chen Fan said.

Those Councillors had issued the order to drop the nuclear weapons and detain Fang Qiong, and then, they were trying to fool Chen Fan, saying that it was just a misunderstanding. How would he believe it? He was enraged; he needed the blood of these American senior officials to quell his anger.

"Sir, please calm down. We'll give you an explanation..." The second Councillor came forward, trying to convince Chen Fan.

Bang!

Chen Fan flicked his fingers again and the head of the second Councillor exploded.

"Keep going," Chen Fan said indifferently.

"Sir, you're only worsening the situation..." The third Councillor was split in half.

"Chen Beixuan, don't think that the United States will be afraid of you..." Four more Councillors tried to threaten Chen Fan but were immediately smashed into puree.

Ten Councillors had gotten up and tried talking to Chen Fan firmly, gently or respectfully, but Chen Fan killed them all without holding back. The other Councillors were frightened and the whole world was dumbfounded.

Nobody had thought that Chen Fan would dare to kill those Councillors in front of the world.

Each and every one of them represented a supreme power, and were even superior in comparison to presidents of some small countries. Hundreds of them together could even make the President of the United States step back.

In the end, none of the remaining Councillors stepped forward. All of them lowered their heads and trembled.

Finally.

The eleventh Councillor got up.

He was an old man with white hair. He looked extremely superior and dignified.

"Mr. Chen, killing doesn't solve the problem.

"Your fiancée is still in our hands and the United States still has the power to destroy everything.

"Right at this moment, thousands of nuclear weapons in our country are pointing at the entire world. They're powerful enough to destroy the planet. Maybe you don't care about the others, but what about your family and disciples? They're not capable of surviving nuclear explosions as you are. Do you really want to fight until the end and destroy the world?" the old man said firmly and he was standing upright.

Even though he spoke respectfully, everything he said was aimed at deterring Chen Fan from killing again. The nuclear arsenal that could exterminate mankind was the biggest trump card the United States had.

Many people had recognized the old man through the screen. He was one of the most powerful figures in the United States, the President of the Senate, McCain. For most of the time, even the President had to be careful in front of him.

Everyone in the world held their breath when the old man spoke.

The Earth had never been so close to an apocalypse.

"Really? Then, all humans on Earth will die with them," Chen Fan said.

He looked expressionless.

The Americans thought they could threaten him with his family, but they didn't know that the North Mystic Celestial Lord couldn't be threatened. Chen Fan would never give in, even if he had to sink North America, destroy the world or turn billions of people into dust.

If Fang Qiong died, Chen Fan would certainly destroy the United States to avenge her! If Wang Xiaoyun and Chen Gexin died, he would also do the same. Sometimes, taking a step back in the universe would make things happen again and again.

McCain looked at Chen Fan.

There was indifference in his red eyes, like God overlooking the world. Those didn't seem like human eyes. He seemed to have lived thousands of years and seen through life.

McCain heaved a sigh and finally lowered his head in front of the world.

"Sir, you won!

"The United States of America begs for an end to this battle."

As the President of the Senate and the most powerful figure in the United States, McCain was the most superior person in the country when the President was away. He yielded to Chen Fan in front of billions of people, meaning that the United States had surrendered.

In the meantime, many people around the United States were crying their eyes out!

Countless soldiers knelt on the ground and lowered their heads in shame.

Ever since the United States had been established two centuries before, it had been on top of the world, dominating the planet for half a century. They had never surrendered to anyone, especially when the other party was just a person.

Everyone in the world was relieved and was looking at the man standing in the sky with a terrified face at the same time.

He had suppressed the world on his own!

Chen Fan defeated the United States, the Earth's dominator, and stood on top of the world! There had never been such a powerful being in human history!

Many people had a hunch.

From then on, the dominator of the planet would be a single person.

"Haha, surviving nuclear explosions and destroying cities with one attack! Who else can resist such an Overlord? Chen Beixuan is not just the most powerful person in the Dark World anymore. He's the most powerful person in the world!"

Countless Dark Overlords lowered their heads and sighed.

At the same time, other people were wondering.

"Who exactly is that?"

"And who's his fiancée?"

Then, Chen Fan entered the Congress. Nobody knew what he discussed with the Councillors. When he stepped out of Capitol Hill, McCain's face was pale; he was shaking when he walked.

The United States must have surrendered its sovereign rights under humiliating terms.

Still, the American people were extremely curious at the moment, and they only cared about who this superman or Deity was.

In front of many media and cameras.

Chen Fan walked into the Supreme Court, passing through the group of Councillors.

Capitol Hill and the Supreme Court were only a few hundred meters away. The fire around his body was burning fiercely and he was enveloped in an aura. There were burn marks along his way and nobody dared to get close to him.

As Chen Fan got closer to the Supreme Court.

An idea came to many people's minds and they were all startled.

"Would Fang Qiong be his fiancée?"

Nobody had thought that was the reason Chen Fan had gone to the U.S.!

"He did this for his love!" countless people exclaimed.

Billions of women in the world were touched and their eyes were full of jealousy! The act of going against a country for his girlfriend was way more romantic than any flowers, luxury cars and diamond rings...

Chen Fan entered the Supreme Court.

The nine judges were still there; Susan Lean was trembling in her chief position and many members of the jury were standing inside. And yet, Chen Fan could only see the weak woman at the stand.

"Tip, tap."

The crowd made way for Chen Fan and Fang Qiong.

In front of billions of people in the world.

"Clomp, clomp."

Chen Fan walked forward.

The fire around his body gradually disappeared and his golden armor turned into dots of golden light. His eyes weren't red and his black hair wasn't fluttering anymore. He became an indifferent young man in a casual outfit.

The young man moved next to Fang Qiong and cracked an ashamed smile.

"Xiao Qiong, I'm here to pick you up."

"Hm."

Fang Qiong nodded. She couldn't stop crying and finally ran into the young man's arms.

At this moment, many women were crying and a lot of people were dumbfounded. Those who knew Chen Fan had their eyes wide open.

"It's him?"

715 Chen Fan Is His Name

Everyone in the world was wondering what the Superman of the Orient would look like. Some guessed that he was a wizened old sage with long flowy white beard and hair. Some were convinced that he was a divine warrior with a solemn and grim expression. The others thought that he was a deity all the while and who had presided above the clouds, watching over mortals for eternity.

However, no one had expected Chen Fan to be a young man of a seemingly ordinary appearance.

He was of average height, with defined features and pale skin, and wore casual outfits that cost no more than a thousand Yuan. He looked just like a college freshman.

"How old is he? Less than twenty years old?"

"A deadly murderer who slaughtered tens of thousands of people was a young man from Asia?"

"OMG, is he the one who forced the United States to its knees and claimed that he wouldn't stop killing until he was the last human standing on earth?"

There and then, Billions of people exclaimed in their minds at the same time.

Chen Fan's unswerving belligerence had even scared McCain into submission. However, to everyone's surprise, the savage butcher turned out to be an ordinary Asian teenager.

"Appearances can be deceiving!"

Many people lamented in their minds.

Meanwhile, females across the world were captivated by Chen Fan, as they fixed their attention on him.

On Weibo, Weechat, Facebook and Twitter, girls screamed, openly expressing their desire to marry Chen Fan.

With the unthinkable power Chen Fan possessed, he was irresistibly charming to just about any mortal woman. He didn't have to be Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise to become the girls' prince charming.

"I don't need my man to be handsome or rich, as long as he's willing to take on the world for me."

-Taylor Swift

People who had met Chen Fan before experienced much stronger shock and fear than those who had never heard of him before.

Jin City...

Qiao Luoyin was having an afternoon tea with her BFF Pei Qiuyun.

Qiao Luoyin spat tea all over her BFF's face when she saw the news about Chen Fan. Pei Qiuyun was equally shocked, and didn't even bother to clean up her smeared makeup.

"It's him?"

Chu Zhou City...

Jiang Tanqiu struggling to convince Xiao Qian's parents to offer their daughter's hand to him. Seeing Xiao Qian's parent's didn't budge, Jiang Tanqiu let out a wry smile in his mind, and was going to give up.

Suddenly, the Chen Fan appeared on the news.

Jiang Tanqiu's eyes widened in shock as he gaped at the screen in silence.

Xiao Qian screamed out her surprise.

"Xiao Qiu, Isn't that your schoolmate Chen Fan?"

Her words grabbed her parents attention, and replaced the displeasure and conceit in their eyes with joy and approval as they gazed at Jiang Tanqiu.

Si Shui...

Wu Junjie was having a party with their friends.

Xu Haoxuan stayed at his father in law's place and missed the party, but he had also caught Chen Fan on the news. He felt a wave of complicated and strong emotions rising inside of him as he watched Chen Fan pining the world under his thumb.

Yan Jin, the Hong family...

Xu Haoxuan arrived home after work and was exhausted. Although he graduated from the best university in China, he was still a nobody in the family.

However, he was greeted by the warmest smile he had ever seen on his inlaw's faces when he entered the living room.

His girlfriend Hong Mi also gawked at him as if he had just won the lottery and gained a six pack.

"Haoxuan... It's your friend... he... he—oh my goodness!"

Many of Chen Fan's old acquaintances shouted out their surprise and amazement.

Chen Fan had inadvertently changed many people's lives the moment he revealed himself to the world. This was especially true for those who were on good terms with him in the past. From that moment on, the world would look at those people and think only one thing:

They are Chen Beixuan's friends!

On the flip side, those on Chen Fan's wrong side were devastated.

Zhong Hai...

The managers of the Jin Xiu Group crowded the lobby as they watched the live broadcast. The Jin Xiu Group was a subsidiary of North Qiong Corp, and they had felt the squeeze ever since Fang Qiong had been incarcerated.

Two young girls who worked the front desk shouted at the top of their lungs once they saw Chen Fan on the news."Isn't that the Chairperson's son?"

Meanwhile, Managing Director Xu and Manager Xu turned into frozen statues.

"The Young Master?"

A few debt collectors in the lobby were terrified by the development as their faces turned green.

The Tang family...

The news pulled the rug from under Tang Jianmin.

The Tang family members had been conspiring together, planning to strike out and avenge Tang Jianfen while the Jin Xiu Group was in a crisis. However, once they saw Chen Fan's godly power on the news, they all were silenced by fear.

The Ji family...

After being picked on by many of its former rivals, the Ji family was barely a ghost of its former glory. Visitors used to flood the splendid mansion of the Ji family; at the moment, its large gate was tightly shut, no signs of life were evident. A tall middle-aged man stood like a flagpole in the quiet courtyard; his face was somber and brooding.

Old Man Ji heaved a sigh. "Daomin, I know time is hard right now, especially after Xiao Chen's death. But we still have hope as long as you're still alive."

"I promise you, father, I will restore the Ji family's former glory," Ji Daomin said.

A flicker of hatred flashed in his eyes.

"Chen Fan, It's all your fault! You ruined my family and killed my beloved son."

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a familiar face on the TV; the image cast a freezing spell on him. Life and color quickly drained away from his face.

"Why... why him?"

Old man Ji let out a sour laugh and closed his eyes in resignation.

"So be it. We are just dreaming after all. We wouldn't stand up to him in a thousand years."

Ji Daomin didn't say anything; still, his legs were wavering, and his eyes were filled with despair.

Chen Fan's appearance didn't just terrorize the Ji family, but also many other factions and families that he had a run in with. They were forced to abandon all hope after seeing how powerful Chen Fan was.

"Who is that? He looks very familiar."

"That's right! He looks like Goddess Xu's secret boyfriend, but not as handsome."

"Humph! What use are good looks when he could have the whole world?"

Many Chinese netizens chatted with each other about Chen Fan.

Chen Fan had been caught on video strolling with Xu Rongfei at Yan Jin University. That video had gone viral and was viewed by millions of people; many of which noticed the similarity between Chen Fan and the man in the news.

"Chen Fan is his real name, and he also goes by Chen Beixuan, Heavenly Chen, Superpower Chen. He's the most powerful man in the Dark World, and the strongest Earth Level Deity. He ranks number one on the Divine Roll and is the sect master of the North Qiong Sect. He's from the Chen family of Jin City and has turned twenty two years old this year."

Chen Fan could no longer hold on to his disguise as the internet users and intelligence departments around the world delved deeper into his background and connected the dots.

The world boiled over as Chen Fan's identity was finally confirmed.

"Who would have thought that the Dark World, Vampires and Werewolves were real?"

"He has been active around the world all this time, defeating Russia, Japan, and the European Union as early as when he was only sixteen years old."

"Oh my god. His other look is so handsome. Quick! hold me, I'm about to faint."

Many internet users screamed out loud.

Many girls who valued appearance more than anything else could no longer hold back their excitement and swore that they would never marry anyone else except for Chen Beixuan.

England, the BBC Television Station...

The saucy anchor at the BBC announced to the audiences with excitement in her voice, "This is BBC news, I am Kim Kashan, bringing to you the most detailed analysis on the background of Chen Beixuan, the Superman of the Orient.

"Many of you might have already learned that Mr. Chen Beixuan is the Superman of the Orient who defeated the United States. However, the latest update on the story tells us that the bad blood between Chen Beixuan and the United States might have run much deeper than we have thought.

"The United States had previously assaulted Mr. Chen while the latter was in London. However, Mr. Chen was able to turn the tables around and pushed back the Americans, aggravating them further. Later, they mobilized their aircraft carriers to a point near London.

"Their action ended in disaster as Chen Beixuan unleashed hell onto the fleet and destroyed an entire island right before the American's Navy's eyes."

The screen then showed footage of Chen Fan blowing up the island while the US captains turtled in the USS Washington. The terrified look on the US general's face made many viewers smile.

After that clip, the BBC anchor revealed to the world about what happened next. The engagement between Chen Fan and Fang Qiong, the threat from the US ambassador, Chen Fan's disappearance in the Blood Sea, the wrongful incarceration of Fang Qiong and so on.

The anchor spent a significant amount of air time describing the relationship between Chen Fan and Fang Qiong, how they had been high-school sweethearts and later met again at the university, that Fang Qiong had married Chen Fan despite the immense pressure, and several other facts, each detail being more touching than the one before.

The love story was so moving that even Chen Fan's enemies felt that the United States were the ones at fault, having instigated Chen Fan's ire.

Many girls broke down to tears after hearing about their romance.

"The most shocking revelation we have learned so far is that Mr. Chen once saved the entire human race," Kim Kashan said seriously.

Then she retold the things that happened in the Realm of Kunxu, and Chen Fan's heroic battle against the sects in the Gate of Heaven.

The world was shocked. People had never thought that there was another world parallel to this one. To make it worse, that world was filled with deadly warriors as powerful as Chen Fan. They were in awe of Chen Fan's bravery while facing tremendous danger.

"He is a hero, a saint!" countless people exclaimed.

Compared to his contribution to mankind's survival, his vicious attack against the Americans was so insignificant that it could be easily brushed off. His altruistic spirit and bravery made the United States the loser in the public eye. People also loathed the Star World Corporation for their despicable use of nuclear weapons in the Blood Sea.

Chen Fan quickly became the hero of all humanity. People who fought alongside him were also put on the pedestal by the public, such as Ye Qincang.

Meanwhile, inside the Supreme Court...

Chen Fan untied Fang Qiong and said, "Xiao Qiong, stay here. If I don't come back for you, someone else will send you back to China safely."

"Where are you going?" Fang Qiong was perplexed.

"I have some old businesses to take care of."

Chen Fan smiled thinly as a cold light danced in his eyes.

It was high time to settle things once for all.

716 Kill Them Off

For Chen Fan.

Those on Capitol Hill weren't the ones who dropped a nuclear bomb onto the Blood Sea and detained Fang Qiong for a public trial. They were only a group of puppets. The ones behind them were the Wise Men, who had overwhelming power. They posed as the senior officials of the United States, controlling the country's economy, politics and military.

For example, the Lance family only had a marginal relation to the Wise Men.

Many other Councillors, tycoons and Generals were controlled by the Wise Men and the Star World Corporation was only one side of it.

"Wait for me!"

Chen Fan kissed Fang Qiong's forehead and turned into a ray of crimson light, flashing towards the Pentagon.

The Wise Men controlled countless weapons there and Chen Fan's mind would only be eased after taking care of them.

"What is he doing?"

Susan Lean and the others were anxious.

"He's on his way to take revenge. May God forgive our sins."

McCain lowered his head. Since Chen Fan was so firm, the Councillors of the Congress couldn't do anything at all. Councillor Lance was immediately smacked to death and Chen Fan interrogated his spirit to extract some intel.

The rest of the Councillors were stunned.

No one else dared to resist Chen Fan again.

The Pentagon.

It was the largest military building in the world, located at the southwest of Washington next to the Potomac River, where the Ministry of National Defense was located. The building covered an area of 2.36 million square meters and had twenty two floors with twenty three thousand people working inside.

Looking down from the sky, the building was majestic; it looked like a giant star.

This was the supreme military center of the United States, a place where the most powerful forces on Earth were controlled. However, the entire Pentagon was in chaos at the moment. Even though countless troops were being mobilized from all directions to guard the building, nobody could be at ease.

"He's here."

When the crimson light arrived at the Pentagon, the entire building was in silence. Many officers and clerks looked at Chen Fan; the tanks, cannons and machine guns on the helicopters were pointing at him, but no one dared to fire.

Thousands of soldiers were ahead of Chen Fan, but they seemed to be invisible.

Chen Fan was covered in blood and his eyes were filled with rage. In front of such a powerful being, many American soldiers felt as if the guns in their hands were fire torches at best.

"Your government has surrendered. Do you still want to fight?" Chen Fan said.

His thunderous voice made countless glasses shatter.

Many Generals in the command center of the Pentagon turned pale. They led over millions of American soldiers to uphold their dominance and controlled the largest nuclear arsenal in the world. And yet, when Chen Fan arrived, they found themselves completely incapable of resisting.

Minister Arnold looked around.

The Commander of the African military region, the Commander of the European military region, the Chief of Naval Operations, the Army's Chief of Staff, the Air Force's Chief of Staff, the Commandant of the Marine Corps... There were dozens of four-star Admirals in the command center.

There were also many Lieutenant Generals, Major Generals and Brigadier Generals!

All the senior officials of the United States Army were there. They used to be superior and fierce, but they all looked pale and their legs were even trembling right then.

"Fine."

Minister Arnold heaved a sigh, then got up slowly and walked out of the building.

In front of thousands of soldiers, the United States Secretary of Defense and the Commander-in-chief of the Army lowered his head and said to Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen Beixuan, respectful greetings from the American Armed Forces. The Pentagon welcomes you."

Meanwhile.

Countless soldiers were shedding tears.

Even Arnold the Iron Fist Minister had yielded to Chen Fan, meaning that millions of American soldiers had also surrendered.

Chen Fan flew down and approached Arnold with hands behind his back. He said, "I'm here to settle a score and get my revenge."

He looked enraged and fierce; the soldiers and officers around him lowered their heads and dared not to look into his eyes.

Arnold and the other Generals were frightened, but Chen Fan had already stretched out his hand. He pointed at the Generals one by one.

"Admiral Gusta, the Chief of Staff of the Navy, provided battleships and intel for the Star World Corporation. He must die."

"Admiral Landers, Commander of the Strategy Department, provided a hydrogen bomb for the Star World Corporation. He must die."

"Lieutenant General Richard, NASA's Deputy Administrator, provided satellites for the Star World Corporation. He must die."

Chen Fan killed one person each time he pointed out what each of them did.

His invisible beam of light directly blew their heads up. He mentioned seventy five names consecutively, meaning that he had killed seventy five American Generals, including ten Admirals, forty eight Lieutenant Generals and a dozen Major Generals.

Many had died at the entrance of the Pentagon.

Those Generals used to command over thousands of soldiers and overlooked the world, but they were too vulnerable in front of Chen Fan.

In the end, the Generals looked pale and Minister Arnold's hands were shaking.

"Sir, are you done?"

"No."

Chen Fan's eyes were filled with coldness and disdain.

He flicked his sleeve and shot out a golden blade aura that penetrated the Pentagon. The Blade Qi broke the walls and killed many people inside the building.

Other than the Generals, there were many people who had worked for the Star World Corporation inside the Pentagon. The Celestial Lord couldn't be humiliated, so how would Chen Fan show them mercy?

He had obtained information from Councillor Lance's Divine Soul and found the list of related personnel that included a few senior members of the Star World Corporation. Under Chen Fan's Immortal Will, the entire Pentagon was exposed and nobody could escape from his blade aura.

On that day, the Pentagon became an Asura Field.

According to the statistics, more than five thousand out of twenty three thousand people in the Pentagon were killed. This day was regarded as their Good Friday! Those in the Pentagon would never ever forget about it.

"Swish!"

Chen Fan retrieved the flying sword until he felt like he had killed everyone that deserved to die, then said, "That's all."

After that, Chen Fan turned into a beam of crimson aura and left.

Minister Arnold and some of the others walked into the Pentagon and saw blood and bodies everywhere.

On August 15th, 2012, in the evening.

So much blood had been shed throughout the United States.

Although the forces of the Star World Corporation were scattered around the United States, they couldn't stop Chen Fan. The country was immediately flooded with blood and people called this the Night of Blood.

In New York.

The Star World Corporation headquarters, the three hundred-meter Star World Tower, turned into ruins and thousands of people died.

In Chicago.

The weapon research center of the Star World Corporation covered more than a hundred thousand acres of land and was a factory that had produced countless high-tech weapons. Even so, Chen Fan wiped it off completely from the face of the earth with a thunderbolt, killing thousands of people in the process.

In Philadelphia.

Thousands of mercenaries in the Security Department of the Star World Corporation resisted Chen Fan with live ammunition, but they were all slashed into half and were crushed together with the building.

In Houston.

The Star World Corporation's...

Chen Fan didn't hold back and killed all the people who were related to the Wise Men and the Star World Corporation. Even though he couldn't eliminate the entire country, he would never show mercy to the culprits.

The entire world saw how cruel Chen Fan was.

People finally realized Chen Fan wasn't only a hero who saved the world, he was also a fierce person who would do anything to seek revenge! Family was the most important thing to Chen Fan and anyone who offended them had to die!

The Lance family had sixteen branches in the United States and they were all exterminated by Chen Fan. A few hundred members had died, except for their leader.

The world was stunned by Chen Fan's actions.

"We shall never provoke Chen Beixuan and his family. This should be added to our laws and written on the Constitution!" the presidents of many countries declared.

As for Japan, they were extremely frightened.

Their Prime Minister had already traveled to Jin City to meet Chen Fan's parents and apologized personally.

The Prime Minister of Thailand even got on the plane immediately and traveled to pay a diplomatic visit.

At the Yan Jin Film Academy.

"Fei Fei, your lover is too vicious. He's killed more than a hundred thousand people," Ningxin said.

"What lover?" Xu Rongfei glared at her best friend.

"Hm, has he become your husband? How can his body be so strong? How can you take it?"

Xu Rongfei hit her forehead and was speechless.

Aside from Japan and Thailand, countless of Chen Fan's enemies traveled to China to extend their apologies. They were completely terrified.

Chen Fan defeated the United States and showed an invincible power.

He took revenge against the Pentagon and the Star World Corporation, showing his determination to settle the scores! So, who would remain unafraid when facing such a powerful and hateful enemy? The sect master of the Hong Sect, the Lee Family of the Samsung Group and the leaders of the European Union were surely having a hard time to sleep.

"Boom!"

After splitting the CIA building in half and crushing an Extraordinary, Chen Fan approached the senior officials of the CIA and pulled one of them closer with a hand gesture.

"Where are the seniors of the Star World Corporation? What weapons do they have?" Chen Fan asked.

That senior official burst into laughter. "Chen Beixuan, the power of the Star World Corporation and the Wise Men is beyond your imagination. Just wait for their revenge..."

Before he finished talking, Chen Fan had already broken his neck and glanced over indifferently.

"Next."

Many senior officials of the CIA looked at one another and someone soon gave in.

The truth about the Star World Corporation and the Wise Men was finally exposed in front of Chen Fan.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

717 An Alien Battleship?

The Star World Corporation was a thriving company established in recent years by the Wise Men of the United States, who had remained in hiding for a century.

"Nobody knows where the Wise Men came from. Around a century ago, they appeared in North America.

"They helped the American government to develop the 'Mayan Temples' and produced many ultra-modern technologies, including nuclear weapons, electromagnetic cannons, laser cannons and God-battling armors.

"The Wise Men and humans are of different races. Their blood is blue and they're born with Soul Energy. All their adults are Soul Energy Masters. Their leader can control more than ten thousand people and lift a nuclear submarine out of the ocean with his Soul Energy."

Chen Fan frowned as he listened to the senior officials of the CIA.

According to these people, the most advanced technology in the United States was all in the Wise Men's hands, and not even the Pentagon had control over them. No one knew what destructive weapons they actually had.

"Blue blood, powerful Soul Energy and a grasp of technology? They sound like the descendants of some highly-developed civilization." Chen Fan thought of the God-killing Spear.

That black dagger and the Mercury Armor both came from a powerful technified civilization.

Speaking of battling power, they were comparable to Spirit Treasures. If a top Soul Energy Overlord had them, he would be able to go head to head with a Connate or Golden Core Cultivator. Besides, both weapons were initiated with Soul Energy which matched the characteristics of the Wise Men.

"They're just a clan that survived the last century. I will simply exterminate them. They really think they can control everything?" Chen Fan said with disdain.

He let out his True Essence and crushed the senior officials of the CIA, then shot to the sky towards the south.

In his previous life, Chen Fan had exterminated countless super civilizations that once ruled the universe. Why would he be afraid of the Mayans? He first went to the few bases of the Wise Men within the United States.

Unfortunately, those bases had fallen into disuse and all the equipment inside had been destroyed with energy bombs. However, the decoration showed that the technology used in the bases was much more advanced than that on Earth.

"Haha, you can escape right now but can you run forever?"

Chen Fan grunted and turned to the direction of the Mayan Temple.

The Mayan Temple.

Located at the southmost part of the United States outside of Florida, right across the Gulf of Mexico.

It was one of the seven Forbidden Lands, an ancient ruin and the home of the Wise Men.

Half an hour later, Chen Fan appeared above the Mayan Temple. A magnificent pyramid of a hundred meters tall stood in front of him. Its top was a square which was different from the pyramids in Egypt.

Chen Fan scanned it with his Immortal Will and was immediately blocked by an invisible energy shield. He wasn't surprised; instead, he was actually thrilled.

"This is it. Let's see how many attacks you Wise Men can take."

Chen Fan stretched out his hand and gripped.

"Clank!"

He pulled out a black blade. Then, claps of thunder came and flashes of purple lightning were all over the sky. As the terrifying True Essence was infused into the blade, it lengthened into a hundred meters long and was surrounded by purple thunderbolts, like the Thunder Spear of the ancient God of Thunder.

"Go!"

Chen Fan took an earth-shattering slash.

The clouds were split by the Blade Qi and the rainforest was burnt into ashes by the lightning. The Blade Qi fell from the sky and struck the Mayan Temple.

Even a building that was several hundred meters tall would crack and collapse when facing Chen Fan's slash, not to mention a hundred-meter pyramid.

But the most unbelievable was...

"Buzz!"

A blue light shield appeared above the temple. The shield was filled with a blue electric current, carrying a powerful energy. There was an explosion when the Purple Thunder Blade struck the energy shield. "Boom!"

The thunderous sound pervaded the area above the temple.

The purple lightning and the blue electric flash clashed against each other. The Purple Thunder Blade eventually used up its power and was blocked by the blue energy.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.

This was the first time his Purple Thunder Blade had been blocked, since he became a Connate Being.

"It's indeed the Mayan Temple."

"Again!"

Chen Fan shouted and his True Essence surged out. The Purple Thunder Blade expanded to two meters long like a small aircraft carrier and Chen Fan slashed again!

"Boom!"

The sound of the explosion was several times louder than the last one. This time, people dozens of miles away in Florida were also startled; all of them looked up.

In the Mayan Temple.

In a futuristic command room surrounded by a large star map and blue electric current, a group of Wise Men in silver tights were staring at the screen anxiously. All of them had transparent skin and blue veins.

"Chen Beixuan is really here?"

A bald Wise Man frowned.

He wore glasses and had an elegant appearance. Outsiders would be shocked if they saw him, since he was the CEO of the Star World Corporation and the leader of the Wise Men, Brooke.

"Chief, we've underestimated Chen Beixuan's power. He still managed to find us, even though we escaped quickly and abandoned a few bases. The politicians of the United States must have betrayed us," another Wise Man said.

"I never thought that nuclear weapons wouldn't be enough to kill him, or that he would have such terrifying weapons. Detroit was a city able to house millions of people, but he leveled it with one strike. Are all the Immortal Cultivators in the East this powerful? Even more powerful than technology?" Brooke frowned.

There were blue flashes or energy in his eyes, which looked as deep as the ocean.

If Chen Fan were there, he would know that those weren't electric flashes, but surges of Soul Energy. Brooke's Soul Energy was even stronger than that of an Earth Level Deity; it was comparable to Chen Fan's. He had reached a level in which he didn't need to rely on his body.

"Boom!"

The temple shook again and the star map vibrated.

A Wise Man who controlled the blue light ball turned around and shouted, "Sir, the shield's energy reserve has dropped to 80%. It will be destroyed after approximately seven attacks."

After hearing what he said...

The Wise Men in the Mayan Temple were startled.

They knew how terrifying the energy shield of the temple was. It could withstand the attacks of nuclear weapons, but they had never thought that Chen Fan could destroy it in less than ten slashes.

"Chief, what should we do?"

The other Wise Men looked over.

"Let's use our energy weapons and show Chen Beixuan the power of the Mayan civilization." Brooke narrowed his eyes, letting out bright electric flashes. "We wouldn't have taken action if he didn't come, but he ran into our territory."

"Crack."

As Brooke yelled.

A thick electric current came out of the pyramid and gathered above the temple. Then, an electric ball was formed in the air.

At first, the electric ball was only the size of a soccer ball. It then expanded and became as large as a house, like a little sun.

The blue electric bolts turned into pure white light in the end.

"This is?"

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and the Thunder Blade slowed down.

"Boom!"

A thick beam of light was shot out from the little sun. It had been formed with electric bolts and it flashed at a lightning-fast speed towards Chen Fan. Before it arrived, the energy inside had already cracked the atmosphere and burnt the air, creating some sparkles.

"Block!"

Chen Fan placed the Thunder Blade horizontally in front of his chest.

"Boom!"

He was pushed several kilometers backward and crashed into the rainforest. The thunderbolt created a ten kilometer long gap in the rainforest before stopping.

If someone looked down from the sky.

The entire rainforest had been split in half with the Mayan Temple as the center. The gap was a few meters wide and ten kilometers long, as if the scythe of Death would have left a trail across the ground.

"Boom!"

This was only the beginning.

The electric ball let out many thunderbolts, like a missile base launching endless rounds of missiles.

Bolts of lightning struck around Chen Fan.

Each of them was comparable to the attack of an Earth Level Deity. If Ye Qincang and the Blood Ancestor were there, they would have been killed or at least they would have ended up severely injured.

But how powerful was Chen Fan?

Even a thousand lightning bolts were unable to kill him! His initial-success Divine Body, Divine Powers and armor couldn't be destroyed by nuclear weapons, let aside some thunderbolts.

"Bang!"

Chen Fan shot into the sky and passed through the lightning. Countless bolts of lightning went through his body when they hit him, as if he were a bubble.

"Break!"

Chen Fan went in front of the temple and slashed at it.

The slash was three hundred meters long. When the purple lightning struck, people dozens of miles away could also see it. In the end, the Thunder Blade struck the Mayan Temple and the blue energy shield shook violently.

"Warning, warning! Energy reserve has dropped below 30%. Extremely dangerous. Warning, warning..."

This time, all Wise Men, including Brooke, were terrified.

"Chief, what should we do?"

Everyone looked at him anxiously.

Brooke frowned and made a decision.

When Chen Fan slashed again and was about to break the energy shield, the ground suddenly shook and the soil cracked. The pyramid rose and flew to the sky like a UFO.

"This is?"

Chen Fan stopped the Thunder Blade and frowned.

Many onlookers from Florida were also startled.

"A UFO?"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

718 An Earth-shattering Battle

The pyramid was only a hundred meters tall, but when it flew from the ground, its body under the soil was exposed, which was more than five hundred meters tall. Even the largest aircraft carrier on Earth was only three hundred meters long.

It flew into the air.

The bricks fell off one after another and exposed its true form.

The black metal and complex patterns inscribed on it were similar to those of the God-killing Spear. Many blue colored currents ran through the entire pyramid and it was enveloped in a giant energy shield, rising into the sky.

"Oh my God!"

The people in Florida were dumbfounded. Such a flying pyramid was like a UFO.

Some young people quickly filmed it with their cell phones and uploaded it to the Internet.

The Internet was immediately stirred.

Many netizens had been panicking about Chen Fan's disappearance and they were again shocked when they suddenly saw this scene. Countless reporters came by helicopter. The satellites and the whole world turned their focus to that area.

At the BBC Television Station in England.

Hostess Catalina was digging into the love history of Chen Fan and Fang Qiong. She was suddenly startled and said, "Breaking news! There's a UFO sighting close to the southmost part of Florida. Our reporters are going there right now. Here is a sample footage just found online."

In the video.

A black pyramid surrounded by electric currents was flying in the sky. It was as large as a small hill looking from afar.

"What's that?"

"F*k! Have aliens come to Earth?"

"First, the eastern deities. Then, the aliens. What's wrong with our planet?"

People around the world were dumbfounded.

They had already been stunned by Chen Fan surviving nuclear explosions. Then came the aliens. Many people thought about the rumors of the apocalypse. Would 2012 really be the end of the world?

"It's the Mayan Temple. The Wise Men restored it and got it running?"

All the underground organizations and the superpowers were stunned.

Being long-time rivals of the United States, they knew about many classified projects and information of the country, including the Mayan Temples.

At the Ye family mansion on Mount Yan.

Director Xiao said seriously, "Rumor has it that the Mayan Temple is a ruin of the Mayan civilization from the last century and it serves both as a super powerful battleship and as a fortress. However, it was destroyed in a war and fell outside Florida. The United States has many pieces of advanced technology from the Mayan Temple but I never thought that the Wise Men would really use them."

"They wouldn't activate the Mayan Temple so easily. Perhaps Chen Beixuan is there?" Azure Dragon's eyes brightened.

"Senior Chen is an Immortal Sage. The Wise Men shouldn't be his match, but I'm worried that there are some super weapons of the Maya civilization in the battleship."

Ye Qincang frowned.

The Maya civilization was a civilization that had the most advanced technology in the previous century.

The Mercury Armor and the God-killing Spear showed how much they thrived back then! Such a technology was far beyond the imagination. They were definitely able to create weapons that were even more powerful than nuclear bombs.

Red Sparrow and the others were standing aside anxiously.

At the same time.

A strong energy wave came from the pyramid.

"Chen Beixuan, you can live for more than five hundred years, so you still have a long time to go. We can settle this peacefully and we'll give you enough compensation. Otherwise, both parties will suffer."

The energy wave was like an ocean and it felt superior.

Chen Fan looked at the battleship in the sky and said, "You think you can negotiate with me with this piece of scrap metal?"

The North Mystic Celestial Lord had seen many spaceships of the super civilizations in his previous life. Those battleships were at least a hundred kilometers long and even one of them was a super fortress that had used a planet as the starting point, but Chen Fan could still crush them.

A six hundred-meter spaceship wouldn't even be regarded as a battleship in the universe, so Chen Fan wasn't scared of it at all.

"How arrogant!"

Energy waves surged.

Apparently, the Wise Men were enraged.

A Wise Man bowed and said, "Chief, we should let the people on Earth see how powerful we are." The other Wise Men also looked over.

Brooke stood in the command center looking like God; his eyes were blue, filled with electric sparkles.

The leader of the Lance Family sat in the corner and was thrilled. "Chen Beixuan, you exterminated my entire family. It's your turn now."

"Boom!"

The battle began in an instant.

A much larger lightning spear shot out from the tip of the pyramid and shone over the world. Chen Fan immediately broke the sonic barrier and dodged at ten times the speed of sound.

"Boom!"

The lightning spear struck a mountain nearby.

The mountain was crushed into pieces and the thunderbolt bashed the ground like a whip.

"Swish, swish."

The Maya battleship was in full operation and its power was much stronger.

Many gargantuan lightning spears swept across the air and cracked the ground. All trees, creatures, mountains and rocks were as vulnerable as pieces of paper in front of those spears.

Each attack was comparable to the power of a peak-stage Connate Being and even Chen Fan had to be careful.

"I can't believe the battleship is still this powerful after thousands of years." Chen Fan was shocked but he wasn't afraid. As long as there were no Golden Core Cultivators, he would still be invincible on Earth.

"Break!"

A purple lightning struck.

Chen Fan merged with the blade and turned into a speedy lightning, flashing through the air. He slashed at the pyramid and made its energy shield vibrate.

It was like a battle between two Gods.

Every move they made was earth-shattering, and the impact could go as far as ten kilometers. Citizens of Florida could see this clearly.

"Wait, who's that? Chen Beixuan?"

Countless people were stunned after seeing those explosions.

While they were curious about where the battleship came from, they saw Chen Fan fighting against it.

"Look, there's a star ring on the pyramid. Isn't that the symbol of the Star World Corporation? Is this a high-tech battleship developed by them?" an observant netizen yelled.

Everyone finally realized that Chen Fan was looking for the Star World Corporation!

"The Star World Corporation is so ambitious that they developed such an advanced weapon. Without Chen Beixuan to counter them, will they be conquer the entire world?"

At this moment, countless people on Earth were terrified; it was especially the case for many Americans. This was the first time they had seen how powerful the Star World Corporation was. Considering their forces around the United States, in Congress, the government and the Pentagon, they all turned pale.

"Bang, bang."

The battle continued.

Chen Fan's blade aura shot across the sky and went through the lightning spears, attacking from time to time. The Wise Men were apparently anxious and discovered that they couldn't hit Chen Fan easily.

Even though the battleship was massive.

It could move very quickly. It flew towards the Atlantic Ocean, trying to go underwater to escape Chen Fan's attacks.

"Where are you going?"

Chen Fan let out his Defensive True Essence and took an attack from the lightning, then slashed at the energy shield. The five hundred-meter battleship dropped and some buzzing sounds came out of the shield.

"Damn it!"

Brooke was also enraged.

"If Thor's Whip doesn't work, then initiate the God-killing Cannon. Let Chen Beixuan see how powerful we are."

His eyes were filled with electric sparkles.

"Clatter, clatter."

Many barrels came out of the surface of the pyramid and were covered in blue colored surges of electricity, similar to the electromagnetic cannon of the God-battling Team. And yet, there were thousands of them all over the pyramid.

In a blink, the pyramid became like a fully-armed brawny man.

"Fire!"

As the order was issued.

Hundreds of electromagnetic cannons fired at the same time.

Hundreds of light beams shot over the sky. Each of them was a dagger exuding blue light, moving at twenty times the speed of sound. They could crush a mountain and penetrate through an aircraft carrier. Their power was comparable to the God-killing Spear.

Even Chen Fan looked a bit serious.

"Go!"

A black swirl appeared in the air and protected Chen Fan. Then, the Armor of Golden Flame was also ignited. Facing such a powerful attack, Chen Fan had to be careful.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The hundred swift daggers struck him at the same time. The black swirl moved violently and exploded. Then, the daggers struck at Chen Fan again, making the golden flame grow and the azure light shine.

The hammer hit the bell, creating a certain "dong" sound.

In the end, even Chen Fan seemed to be overwhelmed. He was knocked out, then he plummeted, sliding on the ground for several kilometers in Florida, crashing through a dozen buildings before stopping.

"Stth!"

Countless people in the audience gasped.

Even the battleship with the most turrets only had dozens of cannons, but the Mayan battleship had a few hundred. The weapons they used were actually the terrifying electromagnetic cannons, which were more than a thousand times more powerful. It was indeed an ultimate battling machine.

"Has Chen Beixuan lost?" many people wondered.

Fang Qiong, Xu Rongfei and the others of the North Qiong Sect were also stunned.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

719 Smash the Battle Cruiser

The Mayan Battle Cruiser didn't stop after the initial strike and flew to Florida, hovering over the sunshine state. Blue lights flickered on its cannon, ready to strike again.

"Bang!"

Hundreds of light beams were shot and pummeled the land below, rending the skyscrapers into pieces.

Blue energy flashed across the sky and white hot air trailed behind it, knocking down the concrete and steel buildings as if they were houses of cards.

Be it office buildings, apartments or houses, the deadly energy rammed through them all the same, killing countless innocent people. It was apparent that the Wise Men had completely forsaken their honor.

"Ahrr!"

Saddening screams rose from the city.

People who lived outside of the downtown area turned on their heels and bolted as the city's downtown area fell into chaos. People who were watching the live feed through television had also turned into a bundle of nerves as they wondered who could stop the madness.

"Boom!"

A crimson light surged up from the ground, threatening to pierce the sky.

Chen Fan's Armor of Red Flame reflected the crimson glow of the fire dancing around him; his eyes were two spheres of conflagration. His armor had been dented around the chest area after being confronted by the Electromagnetic cannon.

Chen Fan was brimming with anger.

"Sword array!"

He tapped the Blade Strengthening Gourd and summoned a shower of Blade Aura to appear in the sky, forming the Starry Sword Array. There were ninety-nine flying swords in total, each deadlier than the other. Cold light ran down from their deadly edges, illuminating half of the sky.

"Go"

Chen Fan turned his palm.

Suddenly, countless Sword Auras arced across the firmament like burning meteors and thudded against the energy shield of the Mayan Battle Cruiser. The energy shield started to shimmer as small dents started to spread all over its surface. Those dents had been created by the initial impact with the flying swords; the damaged area grew in size as they kept pushing inward.

"Fire, fire!"

The wise men panicked.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sky had been covered by projectiles shot by the Electromagnetic cannon. The Mayan Battle Cruiser had been besieged by flying swords, but it didn't waver. The small sun-like object at the top of its deck shot out a bolt of lightning that was a few kilometers in length. This was the Mayan Battle Cruiser's other weapon: Thor's Whip.

"Boom!"

The ground trembled under the formidable joint forces of the Electromagnetic cannons and Thor's Whip.

Those weapons reduced the buildings inside Florida cities to a pile of sand with one blow.

The sunshine state had sustained heavy casualties in only a few minutes into the war.

"Dong!"

Thor's whip knocked a flying sword to the side. A few other flying swords quickly responded and started to encircle Thor's Whip, clashing into the deadly lightning energy from time to time at Chen Fan's behest.

The Mayan Battle Cruiser had been created using highly advanced technology and boasted an impenetrable defense. Not even late-stage Connate Cultivators could have pried open its hard shell, much less conventional weapons.

"During the last aeon, the Mayan Battle Cruiser was able to take on a Golden Core Cultivator. But unfortunately, it has to face me today."

Chen Fan thought to himself while holding an impassive and indifferent face.

He flew to the sky and looked down at the Mayan Battle Cruiser from above, as a halo appeared above Chen Fan's head. Within the halo was an iridescent seal. Ancient and primordial energies leaked out of the seal from time to time, in the form of lightning tendrils.

"Is that Chen Beixuan's super weapon?"

Many Wise Men were disheartened when they saw such a development.

They had seen the seal before, when Chen Fan used it to wipe out the city of detroit from the face of the earth. The terrifying sight caused so much fear in the wise men that it lingered in their minds till that day.

"His superweapon still needs to be charged before it can be used," Brooke broke the silence.

Suddenly, the ancient seal grew much brighter, as five lightning bolts struck down from heaven. Those five lightning bolts merged into one in the air and formed a large column of violent electric energy. Its surface was a shifting pattern of darkness and intense light.

Although the thickness of the lightning shaft was only one tenth of that in Detroit, it was extremely deadly nonetheless.

"Boom!"

The lightning shaft struck the ship's energy shield and created a squeaking noise that sounded like atoms being split apart. The Five Elements Thunder carried such unrelenting force that threatened to devour anything in its path, including the energy shield.

"WARNING, WARNING... Energy shield down to twenty percent."

"Nineteen."

"Eighteen."

"Seventeen."

In a blink, the energy field was down to less than ten percent, and the indicator on the dashboard turned red.

"Access back-up energy source."

Brooke ordered as soul energy surged in his eyes, spilling out and going through the wall of the room to take control of the ship. The leader of the Wise Men's personal energy had breathed a new life into the ship, giving it enough maneuverability to evade the attack.

"Crack."

The shaft of lightning missed the ship and landed on the sea instead.

The impact created a giant hole in the sea that exposed the ocean floor.

"Sthh."

The Wise Men let out a gasp of cold air after they saw such an event.

If the blow landed on the ship, it would tear apart the energy shield. Thanks to Brooke, they were saved from such catastrophe.

An old Wise Man said with gloomy scowl, "My lord, the back-up energy represents key resources saved by our ancestors for interstellar traveling. If we use all of it now, our plan of leaving the Earth would need to be delayed for another hundred years."

"If we don't kill him, we will never leave earth, " Brooke replied brusquely

The back-up energy quickly restored the energy shield. Over countless generations, the Wise Men had saved those energies for their eventual voyage into space. The storage of energy was so vast that not even the energy production of the entire north american continent could replenish half of it.

"Crack."

The lightning whip was over two thousand meters long and ten meters in thickness. It struck at Chen Fan with such ferociousness that many people watching the action nearly jumped out of their seats.

"Pathetic."

Chen Fan looked indifferent as he methodically channeled his True Essence into the Five Thunder Seal.

His Thunder Seal drew the Essence Qi within a ten kilometer radius to him, recharging the seal in an instant. Fully charged, the seal unleashed another lightning shaft that was a few times larger than the one before.

Chen Fan was infinitely close to the Golden Core realm in his level of attainment, therefore, he was able to unleash the full power of the Five Elements Thunder.

The lightning shaft carried the force of destruction and chaos—the most primordial power in the universe, and landed on the whip. The impact unleashed a flash of light that was so intense that it muted all colors and erased all shapes from this world.

People watching the battle gaped at the white screen in shock and terror.

The impact produced a deluge of electromagnetic pulse that disabled all electronic devices. The invisible pulse was followed by a more violent force wave that uprooted all buildings near the impact.

"Dong, dong, dong."

Chen Fan followed the attack with three more Five Elements Thunder and the Mayan Battle Cruiser countered the strikes with three more Thor's Whips.

The battle unleashed such an unthinkable destruction upon Florida that split the earth in half and changed the course of rivers. Over half of the cities in Florida were razed to the ground during the battle and the casualties were in the hundreds of thousands.

Over time, the battle moved from land to the ocean, stirring up tsunamis to crash onto the shore.

"That's brutal! Are they even human?"

Many people watched the battle through the satellite feed and what they saw terrified them.

At first, they were floored after seeing the Mayan Battle Cruiser's advanced technology and its ability to dominate even the most powerful conventional weapon. Then, they were shocked again by Chen Fan's godlike power.

"If god really exists, Chen Beixuan has to be one. "

Many Dark Overlords murmured to himself.

Even Ye Qincang was enamored by Chen Fan's abilities.

Chen Fan had shown him the true power of a Connate Cultivator. During the battle, Chen Fan was no less deadlier than a warrior of such a realm, Golden Core Cultivator. Such feat would be impressive even among the Immortal Cultivators of the Realm of Kunxu

"Break!"

Chen Fan shook the Thunder Seal.

Dark clouds rolled over from all directions, and countless lightning bolts descended upon the seal. Already, a lightning shaft of epic proportion was taking shape before everyone's eyes. It would unleash enough force to remove a mountain with ease.

"Together!"

Brooke shouted a command.

All wise men poured their soul energy into the battle cruiser without holding back; their effort lit up the pyramid at the top of the deck as blue lightning tendrils started to form around its surface. After a few seconds, a three thousand meter long Thor's Whip was whipped from the ship, tracing a blinding arch in the sky.

"Boom!"

This was the final showdown and the energy from both sides had reached the max level.

The Wise Men channeled every last bit of the back-up energy into the attack while the belligerent lightning shaft bore down on the ship like the God's divine judgement.

The Mayan Battle Cruiser unleashed its final attack: a three kilometer long lightning whip that lashed across the sky.

"Boom!"

The scale of the impact and its destruction was beyond words.

A whiteness engulfed the battlefield, and a blare drowned all sounds. Looking from afar, the battle field was nothing but a white dot. Hiding underneath that empty void was a violent storm of energy and sea waves that were over a hundred meters in height.

"Who won?"

Over a billion audiences watched the battle through a live feed , and they glued their gazes on the screen, waiting expectantly.

For a while, the white light had obscured the battle in the satellite feed. After the violent energy finally subsided and the whiteness faded away, the audience had witnessed a scene that would be permanently tattooed in their brains.

They saw an Invincible warrior wearing the Armor of Golden Flame; a lightning seal hovered above his head with as much balance as the warrior's divine judgment.

There was his health Under his feet was the slain behemoth. The energy shield of the Mayan Battle Cruiser cracked open as the battle cruiser slowly fell from the sky and splashed into the ocean.

Chen Fan had annihilated the invincible battleship before everyone's eyes.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

720 The Emperor of Earth

"Boom!"

The Pyramid-shaped ship fell from the sky and was engulfed by the vast ocean, stirring up waves of unprecedented size. Many people who were watching the battle let out gasps of cold air after witnessing the incredible scene.

That was a Battle Cruiser of astonishing extraterrestrial technology that was capable of annihilating an entire city.

And yet, Chen Fan sank it to the bottom of the ocean with one blow.

A Dark Overlord exclaimed on the internet, "Chen Beixuan is a beast! If the war machine of the Mayan race doesn't take him down, then who could?"

Other people shared his amazement and fear. Chen Fan had officially claimed the seat of power on earth after he had brought the United States to their knees and defeated the Wise Men. No one on this planet would ever dare to challenge him.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the Mayan Battle Cruiser broke through a giant wave and rose above the sea.

It turned out that Chen Fan's last attack had severely damaged its structure, but it didn't immobilize it. It had dived into the ocean in an attempt to escape Chen Fan.

"Crack."

Coutless brilliant rays of blue lights shot out from the metallic obsidian-colored surface of the ship: the result of the Wise Men's effort of charging up the battle cruiser. The pyramid shaped behemoth was a spacecraft and when it was much faster than any man made vehicle.

Suddenly, a giant electromagnetic coil appeared around the pyramid as the spacecraft suddenly accelerated to subsonic speed. It charged forward with the same amount of momentum as a moving mountain.

By then, the Mayan Battle Cruiser finally revealed its most powerful weapon: itself.

"You won't get away," Chen Fan said coldly.

He took a step forward, covering a thousand meters in an instant and arriving near the Pyramid. He hurled a fist at the ship's metallic wall, shattering its remaining energy shield and landing a punch directly on the ship's hull.

The impact gave off a blinding azure flash.

Chen Fan's punch was so powerful that it threatened to collapse the space and stop the passage of time. When the explosive force in his punch was finally unleashed, the pyramid was knocked off course, flying back a few dozen meters.

'"Sthh."

The wise men were shocked beyond belief.

None of them had expected Chen Fan to be not only a powerful spell caster, but also possessed an unmatched physique. Brooke's face darkened while the Lord of the Lance Family was overtaken by fear.

He had never thought that Chen Fan would chase him all the way to the lair of the wise men.

"Shit, shit! Chen Beixuan is going to kill us all!" Lord Lance said with a pale face.

"Let's lure him into the ocean and use the Doomsday Device. Get rid of him already," Brooke shouted.

Under his command, the Mayan Battle Cruiser dived into the ocean despite Chen Fan's relentless attacks. Chen Fan was able to land a few solid blows on its walls, but was unable to penetrate the walls.

"This material is similar to the one used on God-killing Spear. "

Chen Fan frowned.

He was slightly taken aback by the Ancient Mayan's technology. They were able to create a structure so tough that it could withstand attacks from a Golden Core cultivator or a nuclear bomb.

"But it's just a machine, and won't pose a threat to me unless it's operated by a powerful foe."

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes as he charged up his energy, transforming his body into a Kun Peng: a mythical behemoth that was a few times stronger than Chen Fan.

"Boom!"

Chen Fan flapped one of his wings and landed a blow on the pyramid, cracking the black metallic surface and leaving a ten meter long gash.

"Damn it! What was that?"

The Wise Men were shocked by the turn of events.

"We originally thought Chen Fan was a human... where did he get those wings?"

By the time they realized what was happening, it was already too late. Chen Fan's attacks had lacerated the ship in many places, and some attacks penetrated through layers of metal and reached the inner chambers.

"The main armor is about to give in," a wise man reported.

"Initiate the super Energy Bomb and blow him to pieces." Brooke hissed.

The Energy Bomb was the most powerful weapon of the ancient Mayan people.

It relied on raw energy to create devastating effects. Clark from the God-battling Team used it once and had annihilated everything within a hundred meter radius. The device on the Mayan Battle Cruiser had been charging up energy over the last few centuries and once detonated, it could slaughter anything within a few dozen kilometers.

However, it also meant that the Wise Men would be unable to use this device for another hundred years. Therefore, Brooke had hesitated using it until then.

"Boom!"

A large dark blob appeared at the top of the pyramid, as if out of nowhere. It grew in size rapidly, like a blooming flower of death. Be it water, sand, or sea creatures, it annihilated anything within its reach, and created a vacuum at the bottom of the ocean.

Driven by gravity, sea water gushed into the vacuum, only to be evaporated and disintegrated at a molecular level.

When the dark energy finally dissipated, a circular waterfall was in place where the dark ball used to be.

"Is he dead?"

Some Wise Men finally let out a sighs of relief.

The Energy Bomb was the Mayan people's coup de grace. They believed that it was powerful enough to slay a god. However powerful Chen Fan was, he would not be stronger than ancient gods.

Their relief was short lived; what they saw next robbed them of their last hope for survival.

"Boom!"

A few dozen kilometers away, a wash of azure light appeared; in it was a giant Kun Peng, flapping its wings. A cold fire burned in Chen Fan's eyes. He knew the Wise Men had a last trick up their sleeves, but he didn't expect it to be that powerful.

"The Energy Bomb is as powerful as the Five Elements Thunder. I would be severely wounded if not dead if it landed on me. Luckily, I was paying close attention, and the Kun Peng's form also granted me incredible speed, so that I was able to evade the blow. Otherwise, it would be a bad day for me."

The more Chen Fan thought about it, the angrier he got.

The thought of an all-mighty North Mystic Celestial Lord falling prey to a small trick didn't sit well with him.

He flapped his wings again, and charged out like the mighty Vermilion Bird that crashed through three thousand realms without stopping. Chen Fan no longer held back his strength and unleashed the star-devouring raw power of the Kun Peng Dharma Form onto the ship. The blow created an enormous crack across the space craft.

The ship's energy was running low, so Brooke could only scramble to mend the damage without being able to fight back.

"Go!"

Chen Fan doubled down on his aggression and transformed back into his human form. A blade sizzling with purple electric energy appeared in his hand. Chen Fan swung the blade around, letting its sharp tip slice open the air, unleashing a shower of lightning that concealed his body. Chen Fan hacked downward with the blade, splitting the curtain of blinding flashes from the middle like the primordial god that ended the reign of chaos and created both Yin and Yang.

Thunder Divine Blade first form: Splitting Yin and Yang.

This was an eternal art passed down by the Thunder God primordial deity. The Thunder Divine Blade was a mighty art that could rival the True Martial Divine Fist. Although Chen Fan had bestowed the Thunder Soul Sutra to his grandfather Chen Huaian, the old man would never be able to unlock its real power.

"Crack."

A black Blade Aura arced through the air and sliced open the pyramid like gutting a fish, disemboweling the ship to reveal the inner mechanical parts. The blade cut through them with ease and finally reached the command deck.

However, he wasn't finished yet.

The charged Blade Qi exploded while it got close to the Wise Men, blowing their fragile bodies into pieces.

Brooke was the only one that escaped by transforming into a ray of blue light.

"My Lord, please spare my life! I know many things about the Mayan race and their technology," Brooke pleaded.

"Noisy," Chen Fan said indifferently and bore down the blade onto Brooke.

The blade tore open the fabric of reality, ramming straight through Brooke's protective soul energy and landed on him. The thin edge of the blade unleashed an immeasurable amount of force straight down, rending Brooke's armor into pieces at first, and then splitting his body into two from the middle.

"Swish!"

A faint blue glow escaped from Brooke's cracked open skull. It quickly gained more solidity as it flew up into the sky and transformed into an apparition of Brooke.

So powerful was Brooke's Soul energy that he could exist in this form for eternity. The Demon Gods from Japan simply couldn't compare. His soul energy was even more powerful than the Divine Will of some Earth Level Deities. Therefore, although Chen Fan's attack had ruined his physical form, it had damaged very little of his soul energy.

"Sir, we can talk." Seeing Chen Fan's attacks were unable to harm him, Brooke was able to breathe for a moment.

However, he couldn't be more wrong.

"Blade of Divine Essence!"

A stream of golden light burst out from the middle of Chen Fan's eyebrows.

The light transformed into a small golden blade; its surface was covered with mythical patterns. The presence of the golden blade cast a frozen spell on the world around it, freezing everything and everyone in their tracks.

Chen Fan had used the Blade of Divine Essence to slaughter a Mortal Deity when he was at the Divine Sea level. Since then, the power of the blade had grown into epic proportions.

Brooke shivered as soon as he saw the blade.

"God Slaying Blade! This is the secret Soul Blade used by the most powerful elder of the Mayan race. How did you—"

"Kill!"

Chen Fan cut him short with the wave of a hand.

The small blade jetted out and turned into a streak of golden light in the deep ocean. It flew through a school of fish and took their fragile souls and spirits in an instant.

Although Brooke was a Soul Energy Master and possessed immeasurable soul energy, the blade made quick work of him nonetheless.

"Please, my lord! I have important information that I can share with you. My people are about to return to earth, the war is coming!"

Brooke shirked painfully.

Chen Fan didn't listen to his plea and unleashed nine Blades of Divine Essence at once. Once Brooke had finally become silent, he rolled the remaining soul energy into a ball and put it back in a pocket.

Consuming that pure soul energy could improve his Divine Will significantly. Plus, Chen Fan could access all the information that had been stored in Brooke's memory, particularly the one about the "coming war."

"What am I going to do with the pyramid?"

Chen Fan looked to the ruined battle cruiser and shook his head.

Meanwhile, his audience was speechless after what they had seen; all of them were shocked beyond belief.

August 15th, 2012...

Chen Beixuan defeated the United States and annihilated the Wise Men's battle cruiser. From that day onward, he would be the most powerful man on Earth, the unequivocal ruler of earth.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

721 Message from Space

August 15th, 2012...

On this day, humans had been dealt a severe blow! When many people opened their eyes, they found that the entire world had completely changed; it wasn't a place only for mortals anymore.

Vampires, werewolves, supermen, martial artists, warlocks, aliens...

Things that only existed in legends and stories gradually came to light. The mortals finally realized that these beings had always been hiding next to them, some of them having existed for more than ten thousand years, long before our human civilization.

"The Realm of Kunxu, the Maya civilization, the Kindred, the Werewolves... I didn't know Earth was such a dangerous place," many said on the Internet.

People found a lot of mysteries throughout history and discovered that they had been exploits or remnants belonging to some Transcendent State or Immortal State Overlords.

Ye Qincang of the East, the Christian Church of the West, the Kindred of the Dark World, the Wise Men of North America... but one person had stolen the spotlight from them:

Chen Beixuan!

"There has never been someone as powerful and invincible as Chen Beixuan throughout human history, including the history of the cultivation world! He's like a True God from the ancient times, unbeatable and incomparable!"

"He's God. He's a deity. He's an immortal!"

The Observer left this comment on the underground forum before going offline. It was circulated around the Internet and was recognized by billions of people in the world.

Since then, many sects were established on Earth.

Such as the "North Mystic Sect," the "Chen Sect," the "North Mystic Fan Club," and so on.

These people worshiped Chen Fan and thought that he was the only True God in the world! In fact, Chen Fan indeed was no different from God at this level.

On a plane above the North Pacific Ocean.

"God is just a powerful cultivator," Chen Fan said as he surfed the Internet.

The tall Fang Qiong sat next to him, wearing a red lipstick color. After killing Brooke, the leader of the Wise Men, they immediately set off for China.

The American government sent him back with the most solemn courtesy.

Sixteen of the most advanced fighter aircrafts surrounded Chen Fan while some from other countries joined in from time to time. Chen Fan was truly enjoying the treatment of the most powerful person on Earth.

"So, Xiao Fan, have you become a God?" Fang Qiong asked.

"The path I'm treading is the Immortal Dao, which is different from a God's. According to the categorization on Earth, I should be a Demigod, only a step away from becoming a True God."

Chen Fan cracked a smile.

A Connate Being was called an Earth Level Deity in the East and a Saint or Demigod in the West. Only a Golden Core Cultivator could be called a Sky Immortal or a True God!

Many Gods around the world were in fact Demigods. The Divine Artifacts Chen Fan got from the Dark World Arbitration Department had been mostly made by them.

"Which one is more powerful, the Divine Dao or the Immortal Dao?"

Fang Qiong blinked curiously.

"Each of them has their advantages and weaknesses." Chen Fan smiled with a hint of pride in his eyes. "But in this century, Immortal Dao rules the world!"

While Fang Qiong was about to speak, a coastline appeared in front of her.

They arrived in China.

Chen Fan was warmly welcomed this time.

Countless residents in Yan Jin went to the airport, trying to see the legendary superhero who had suppressed the United States. China mobilized both the police and military troops to maintain security, but they couldn't stop people from coming and the ten-kilometer passage was packed.

Chen Fan and Fang Qiong appeared and waved at the crowd, then turned into a beam of golden light and shot into the sky, amidst the exclamation of the people left behind.

It took less than two hours for Chen Fan to go from Yan Jin to Jin City.

When they arrived at East Mountain...

Fang Qiong was just as excited as a child.

"Honey, flying is really fun. I want to do it again!"

An Ya came quickly after seeing the light landing. After hearing Fang Qiong, she said, "You're already calling him Honey? What will you call him once you're married?"

Fang Qiong was no longer shy, after everything that happened in the United States. "That's how I want to call him. You can do the same if you dare!"

An Ya blushed and pinched Fang Qiong's waist.

"You stupid boy! You should be pleased after making such big news. Have you ever thought about how worried we were?" Wang Xiaoyun said furiously as she approached and grabbed Chen Fan's ear.

"It hurts. Mom, please," Chen Fan begged and smirked.

If outsiders saw this, their eyes would pop out. The man who flew to Capitol Hill and made the United States yield was this boisterous young man?

"Stop it." Wang Xiaoyun didn't believe him. "Nuclear bombs couldn't kill you and you say this is painful? Do you know how worried I, your dad and Xiao Ya were..."

Tears welled up in Wang Xiaoyun and An Ya's eyes.

Chen Fan heaved a sigh, then held them in his arms and said, "Mom, sister, be at ease. I won't worry you again."

Wang Xiaoyun grunted.

"If you marry Xiao Qiong quickly and give me a grandson, I'll let you do anything you want and I won't be worried even if you die out there."

Chen Fan turned around and looked at Fang Qiong. Seeing her gentle eyes, he said, "Alright, let's do it!"

Chen Fan's promise to marry was well thought out.

It was too dangerous this time. He could have put himself and the North Qiong Sect in danger. But all enemies on Earth had been dealt with by then. The Christian Church was destroyed, the Wise Men were exterminated, the Kindred were eliminated and the United States had yielded. Nobody could threaten the North Qiong Sect from then on.

After that, Chen Fan could finally leave the planet.

And before he left, it was necessary to make Fang Qiong and his parents feel at ease.

"What does Brooke's last message mean?"

Chen Fan frowned.

The Mayans and the elders would return, the Earth would turn into a battlefield and there would be a war? Chen Fan didn't believe any of those things. During a critical moment, Brooke would certainly say something exaggerated so that Chen Fan would stop.

But Chen Fan didn't kill Brooke completely. He kept his memories.

In the study at the North Qiong Pavilion.

Chen Fan flicked his sleeve and a blue light ball appeared in the air. The light ball had been formed by Soul Energy like the stars in the universe. Each dot of Soul Energy was comparable to that of a person and there were thousands of them.

"The ancient Mayans abandoned their bodies and cultivated their Soul Energy, which was similar to some Buddhism sects and technologic civilizations. When their Soul Energy reached the maximum level, their Primordial Essence would be forever maintained. One person can turn into millions and control thousands of battleships. One person is a race, a heritage."

Chen Fan rubbed his chin.

And yet, they needed at least the Soul Formation Level to do so, and the ancient Mayans apparently had no such beings. Otherwise, they wouldn't have left the planet.

"Let's see what information I can get from his memories."

Chen Fan placed his hand inside the light ball.

A strong Immortal Will surged into his body and Brooke's life-long memories flashed by Chen Fan's eyes, from his birth to when he grew up, to later become powerful and dominate the world... Centuries of memories flooded in.

Normal people should have already felt dizzy dealing with such complicated memories, but Chen Fan was determined and couldn't be disturbed. He glanced through the things that were unimportant and looked for some key information.

"The Wise Men are indeed descendants of the ancient Mayans. In the ancient times, the Mayans lost in the Battle of Deities and ran off on their battleships. Only one was left in North America and the remaining Mayans married humans, to later establish the Wise Men group.

"The Wise Men chose the United States a hundred years ago and helped them suppress both the Christian Church and the Kindred, eventually getting control of the planet. Besides, they used the power of the United States to restore their spaceship so that they could leave the Earth to find their ancestors.

"Strange... If the Mayans are coming back, why did they leave the Earth?"

Chen Fan frowned.

Suddenly, footage from a century ago appeared in front of Chen Fan.

"I see."

Chen Fan realized.

In the video, a stone room deep in the pyramid suddenly lit up and a message came from one of the detectors. The message was short but Brooke was extremely excited, as it came from the Mayans.

"We'll return... The war will begin... We'll revive the ancient times... Descendants of the Earth, be prepared."

This message brought extreme joy to the Wise Men.

They had developed their technology and helped the United States dominate the world, but Brooke and the others waited for ten years, twenty years, thirty years... still, the Mayans had not arrived.

Once a century passed, they couldn't wait anymore.

That was why they started repairing the spaceship to search for the Mayan planet.

"For the Wise Men who don't have a long life, a century means several generations of people.

"However, a century isn't enough for a trip in space. My master, Cangqin, used to spend thousands of years traveling across the universe once. The Mayans were possibly still preparing for their journey when they sent this message. If they encountered any problems, it may take two centuries more for them to get here."

Chen Fan shook his head.

He had traveled across the universe, so he certainly knew how wide and dangerous it was. Space travel was the most dangerous activity.

"No wonder I didn't see the Christian Church, the Kindred and the Mayan battleship after returning a century later. They must have left the Earth.

"Of course, there's another possibility.

"The Mayans have already come and the war has ended. When I came back, it was already the post-war period of the planet and history has been altered."

Chen Fan's eyes narrowed and were filled with coldness.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

722 Wedding of the Century

In Chen Fan's previous life, he returned to Earth once after two centuries. At that time, he had reached the Soul Formation Level and he was an immortal. He traveled across the universe and buried Xiao Qiong in her hometown.

Even though Chen Fan only scanned through it once with his Immortal Will...

How powerful was a Soul Formation Cultivator? His Immortal Will could cover the entire world and he could split the ocean and sink the earth easily. No Connate or Golden Core Cultivators could hide from him.

"When I returned, the Earth had already formed a unified federal government and started exploring outside the solar system. Before that, there should have been a disaster that caused many casualties.

"However, that disaster wasn't recorded in history. Officials claimed that it was the Third World War, which was caused by nuclear explosions. Since then, humans on Earth worked together and resisted their enemies. Thinking of it now, this seemed to be strange."

Chen Fan frowned.

And yet, no matter if Mayans or other races returned, it wouldn't be something that would happen in a short time. Cangqin took Chen Fan away in 2022 when Chen Fan was about thirty years old. There were still ten years left and the Earth was peaceful before he left.

"These ten years are enough for me to find a passage that leads to other worlds so I can reach the Golden Core Level."

Chen Fan shook his head and forgot about his worries.

He started to absorb Brooke's Soul Energy and Immortal Will with the Soul Refining Art. He closed his eyes and the aura around his body was shining bright; golden threads gathered at his eyebrows and his Immortal Will became stronger.

At the same time, the news about Chen Fan's wedding circulated around the neighborhood.

At first, everyone thought it was fake, but after the members of the Chen family confirmed it, the upper-class community in the entire world was stirred.

It was Chen Beixuan and Fang Qiong!

The wedding of the most famous couple in the world was definitely a big deal! Billions of people on Earth would want to see it.

In the end, the wedding was decided to be held on August 31st.

Chen Fan and Fang Qiong weren't planning to make it big. They had had enough attention from the world. There were thousands of media representatives outside East Mountain every day, trying to interview them.

They were all top media, including BBC, CNN, AFP and the Wall Street News Agency.

Even if they couldn't see Chen Fan or Fang Qiong, they would also interview the members of the Chen family and the disciples of the North Qiong Sect. Many reporters even went to Chu Zhou City and Si Shui to investigate the experiences Chen Fan had as a child.

Jiang Tanqiu had become famous recently. As Chen Fan's former classmate, he had become a star in Chu Zhou City.

"Just invite some friends, classmates and members of the Chen and Fang families. If we make it too grand, the entire East Mountain will be crowded with people," Chen Gexin said.

Wang Xiaoyun pondered for a while and agreed.

"But where will the wedding take place? East Mountain Meadow or Zhong Hai?" Wang Xiaoyun asked.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Chen Fan smiled.

The wedding was getting closer. Many people around the world who knew they weren't qualified to attend the wedding arrived earlier and presented their gifts.

On August 31st.

Guests from all over the world, including the politicians of different countries, tycoons, CEOs and other heavy hitters gathered on East Mountain.

Jin City was flooded with luxury cars.

Many flights landed on the city and filled all the spaces at a few airports nearby.

Even though Chen Fan didn't invite them, they came anyway.

"Mr. Bill Gates, CEO of the Microsoft Corporation."

"Mr. Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google."

"Felipe VI, King of Spain..."

Kunlun set up some barriers ten kilometers away and military guards were stationed all over East Mountain, but nobody could stop these bigwigs from entering.

It seemed that all the top names around the world were gathering on East Mountain.

"This is too grand! I can't believe we get to see this in our lifetimes," Fang Mingde said.

"Everyone here is worth a hundred times more than you are. Your daughter and son-in-law are much more powerful," Su Susu said with disdain.

Fang Mingde giggled and said, "You can't compare me with him. He's a Sage. It's certainly our honor that Xiao Qiong can marry him!"

Their status had been rising lately because of Fang Qiong.

Who didn't want to fawn over Fang Mingde in recent days by saying that he found a good son-in-law who gave glory to the country? Even the superior mayors and CEOs of the big companies smiled at him.

When they entered the North Qiong Pavilion.

The entire place was full of bright lights and red decorations. Fang Qiong was especially beautiful that day. She was wearing a red dress, jade hairpins and red lipstick.

Chen Fan was wearing a black robe. Although it looked a bit weird, it was simple and elegant.

"Xiao Fan, my Dad wants to come and see Xiao Qiong," Su Susu said.

"The Su family of Wu Zhou City?"

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.

The Su family was Fang Qiong's family but Chen Fan had a bad impression of them. When Chen Fan was missing, the Su family had always made things difficult for Fang Qiong; Chen Fan had already respected Su Susu by not eliminating them.

"Let grandpa and Su Xiao come. The others have nothing to do with the Chen family," Fang Qiong said coldly.

In the end, most of the members of the Su family were barred from entering East Mountain; only Su Yanghao walked into the North Qiong Pavilion with the help of Su Xiao. "I'm here to congratulate Heavenly Chen and Xiao Qiong for your marriage, and also apologize to both of you!"

Su Yanghao was ninety years old and he looked a bit guilty.

He was filled with remorse.

If he had insisted back then, the Su family could also enjoy such a glory.

"You're our guests. There's no need to talk about anything else," Chen Fan said indifferently.

Other than the Su family, the Ye family of Mount Yan, the An family of Don He Province, the Zheng family from Hong Kong and the Lu family of Lin City paid a visit to congratulate them. Even the major families of Yan Jin were there.

"Xiao Fan, the leaders of the Qin family, the Xiao family and the Han family are waiting at the foot of East Mountain," Wang Xiaoyun said.

"They're not welcomed here," the Chen family said firmly.

The Chen family wasn't just the top family of Jin City, but also of China and the world! Who else dared to offend the Chen family and the North Qiong Sect?

Several major families from Yan Jin were banned from entering East Mountain.

Old Lord Qin looked at East Mountain as he stomped his foot while Qin Yaner seemed to be thinking about something. As for Old Lord Xiao, he shook his head and heaved a sigh, then left with Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan clenched his fists and felt it was the most humiliating moment in all his life.

Finally, the wedding began.

Chen Fan finished the entire procedure in front of the guests from all over the world.

That day, he wasn't the North Mystic Celestial Lord, but Chen Huaian's grandson, Wang Xiaoyun's son and Fang Qiong's husband. A Sage could be the King of Gods when he was fierce and a loyal servant when he lowered his head.

He knelt in front of his parents with a glass of wine and looked at his gorgeous wife, as if it had been a century.

On the other hand, some families were feeling gloomy.

The Wang family.

The entire mansion was extremely quiet. Xue Hongmei had a heart attack when she saw the crimson light that went to the West and she was sent to the hospital. She had been yelling Wang Chen's name and claimed that she had seen her grandson the last few days.

The other members of the Wang family were too ashamed to show up. The Wang family had become the laughing stock among the upper class in Yan Jin and nobody took them seriously anymore.

Only Wang Zhongguo sat at the peak of North Mountain and looked over to Jin City.

His grandson getting married should have been the most glorious moment of the Wang family, but he screwed up.

Wang Keqin came in and said, "Dad, the hospital called. Mom passed away."

Wang Zhongguo didn't reply; he only heaved a sigh.

In Chu Zhou City.

Jiang Churan finally returned from Romania. Chen Fan left in a hurry after sending her to a small town. She watched the astonishing battle in the United States while she was on the plane.

After she got home, Auntie Tang and Jiang Haishan cried tears of joy.

But soon, they started to ask about her relationship with Chen Fan and if they were still in contact. Jiang Churan knew what they were up to and felt troubled by this.

Chen Fan wasn't that timid young man anymore.

He was the most powerful person on Earth, someone whom the superpowers looked up to. He could destroy a country with a word and shake the world with a stomp. Countless women wanted to marry him, including princesses and daughters of tycoons.

For some reason, Jiang Churan didn't tell them about what happened to her and Chen Fan in the Blood Sea.

After experiencing the moment of life and death and staying together for a month, Jiang Churan felt as if there were some kind of weird connection between Chen Fan and herself.

"Unfortunately, he will never like me."

Jiang Churan shook her head.

That day was his wedding day.

Even though the North Qiong Sect was securely guarded, some reporters still managed to get in and secretly broadcast the event to the world. Billions of people sat in front of the screen, watching this spectacular wedding.

Jiang Haishan said as he drank, "One thing I regret the most in my entire life is that I looked down on that kid. Otherwise, Ranran would have been the one marrying him and we'd be the family on the screen."

"Hm, I wanted to introduce Xiao Fan to Ranran, but you disagreed. A fine time to be regretting it, right?" Auntie Tang said.

Jiang Haishan was indeed regretful.

He looked down on Chen Fan and thought he was just an ordinary young man. Nobody had thought that he would rise to the top in five years.

"Dad, stop. It's my fault."

Jiang Churan lowered her head.

She felt troubled. A thought suddenly came to her mind, "Would Fei Fei be attending the wedding?"

Xu Rongfei was indeed on East Mountain.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

723 Crashing the Honeymoon

"Fei Fei, Look! It's so amazing here. I would never have guessed that it's so large inside, filled with strange plants and animals. Look at that bird, it's huge! It looks golden and is at least a dozen meters long. Uh? Is that a dragon?!" Ning Xin shouted.

Ning Xin had insisted on tagging along once she learned that Xu Rongfei had received the invitation. Xu Rongfei caved in eventually, but regretted her decision as soon as they entered the Green Dragon Grand Array.

Xu Rongfei buried her face in her palm and shook her head helplessly.

Yingzhou Island cracked a smile and said, "Gold Nugget was rescued by Master from the Yingzhou Island, while White Drake is the Array Spirit of the Green Dragon Grand Array. Miss Xu, this way please. Master is waiting for you."

"Yeah."

Xu Rongfei nodded and followed up.

Only the most powerful politicians and businessmen could have been invited to visit the top of the Eastern Mountain, however, even they would be barred from entering the North Qiong Pavilion since that was reserved for Chen Fan's family and friends only. Xu Rongfei noticed Chen Fan and Fang Qiong as soon as she entered the North Qiong Pavilion.

Fang Qiong's sublime beauty made her look like an otherworldly goddess.

Chen Fan stood beside her, long dark hair flowing down to his shoulders, its color and texture contrasting the glint in his eyes. The two looked like a match made in heaven. Xu Rongfei was taken aback by the duo's breathtaking attractiveness.

"Fei Fei, welcome! Come here to see mom."

Wang Xiaoyun waved her hand.

Wang Xiaoyun had met Xu Rongfei in Yan Jin and she pitied the girl after the death of her parents, so she decided to take Xu Rongfei under her wing.

Xu Rongfei moved slowly toward Wang Xiaoyun as she replied coyly, "Mom!"

"Haha."

Wang Xiaoyun's face bloomed like a flower.

She regarded the three girls with joy. An Ya was caring, Fang Qiong was beautiful, and Xu Rongfei was kind and the most lovable.

"If my little sh*t can marry all three of them and give me three grandkids, I will be in heaven!"

Overtaken by excitement, Wang Xiaoyun didn't realize how loud she was. Chen Fan nudged her with an elbow and urged under his breath, "Mom, what are you talking about?"

"Why? Why can't I talk about it?"

Wang Xiaoyun shot a hot glare back at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan shook his head in resignation. The comical exchange made everyone laugh, including the bride.

Once they had finished the tea ceremony, the bride and the groom were to greet the guests. Ye Qincang was also sitting among the guests, he raised a cup of wine when it was his turn to meet Chen Fan.

"Senior, thanks to your battle, China won't see another war for at least fifty years. I drink in your name!"

The United States had been soundly defeated by Chen Fan and lost its seat of power in the world. This shift in the power dynamics had made the United State's rivals—mainly China and Russia—heave a sigh of relief. The United States would be quiet for a while as long as Chen Fan was still alive.

"Please look after my parents after I leave."

Chen Fan emptied the cup and talked to Ye Qincang using Divine Will.

Ye Qincang paused a second and then nodded.

In addition to Ye Qincang, Li Wuchen, Director Xiao, Azure Dragon and Ye Nantian were also invited. Red Sparrow was wearing a black dress that exposed half of her back. She colored her lips in a bold and inviting red, as if ready for a kiss at a moment's notice.

Yu Qin looked at Chen Fan with a great measure of excitement.

"General Chen, you kick a*. You are the true role model of strength and power to all Chinese soldiers, including me."

"You can do anything as long as you put your heart into it. "

Chen Fan smiled.

The last table Chen Fan visited was occupied by his friends, such as Xu Haoxuan, Wu Junjie, Yan Xiaobai, Lin Weiwei and Jiang Tanqiu. The mood was much more complicated at this table than at any other.

"I still can't believe that you are the same person that played soccer and video games with us," Wu Junjie said with a cup of wine in his hand.

"Life is a box of chocolates," Chen Fan replied.

Such it was. If Cangqin the Immortal didn't save him in his past life, he would have never become the North Mystic Celestial Lord; this wedding, and this conversation would have never taken place.

"Couldn't be more true. Let's drink to that!" Xu Haoxuan chimed in. His voice was filled with gratitude and appreciation for what Chen Fan had done for him. Thanks to him, he finally found his place in the Hong family.

Once Chen Fan had drunk with each and every guest, he scanned the crowd and said, "I thank you for coming to our wedding. Please enjoy the meal, me and Xiao Qiong will have to leave you now."

"Master, where are you going? To the honeymoon already?" A'Xiu jested.

"No, I'm going to attend the real wedding ceremony."

Chen Fan grabbed Fang Qiong's hand and strode into the main hall of the North Qiong Pavilion.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, countless golden lights beamed out of the North Qiong Pavilion as a thick cloud moved in to shroud the pavilion. The Pavilion slowly rose to the sky like the moving castle of a sage.

Ten meters, a hundred, a thousand.

The building slowly disappeared into the sky.

This incredible miracle was witnessed by millions of Jin City citizens who lived at the foot of the Eastern Mountain.

"OMG, he really is a sage!"

A guest put down his cup and marveled at the incredible sight while the people around him nodded in agreement.

Wu Junjie and his friends were overtaken by a pang of complicated emotions. They still found it hard to come to terms with reality while Chen Fan was drinking with them earlier in his human form.

However, the flying castle finally gave them a dose of reality.

They finally realized what the name "Chen Beixuan" meant to the world.

"Regardless how hard we work, we'll never be able to catch up with him. He's not a mortal, how are we to compete with an immortal?" Xu Haoxuan murmured.

Lin Weiwei and the other girls remained reticent as their minds grappled with reality.

The North Qiong Pavilion didn't stop ascending until it reached a few thousand meters above the ground.

Fang Qiong looked down from the railing; surprise and excitement were written all over her face. They were above a sea of clouds and above them were bright shiny stars so close to her that she thought she could pick them out of the sky.

Chen Fan stood beside the girl and said softly, "This building is called North Qiong Pavilion, which I named after you. It's not only a building, but also a Dharma Artifact. Once I channel Dharmic powers into the building, I can fly it to anywhere I want."

"I see."

Fang Qiong's face was lit up with glee.

She had told Chen Fan that she liked the feeling of being in the air, but she had never thought that he would make her dream come true, having prepared such a surprise for her.

"Thank you, hubby..." Fang Qiong replied coquettishly like a little kitten.

Fang Qiong's voice nearly melted Chen Fan's heart. Even in his past life, he had never seen Fang Qiong act as coy. He lowered his head and kissed the girl. Fang Qiong closed her eyes, letting tears of joy streak across her cheeks.

The two enjoyed their happiest moment in this otherworldly scenery, between a million stars and a sea of clouds.

Fang Qiong had never felt like this before.

Her worries, fear and concerns were all gone. It was as if she had turned back time, having returned to her innocent childhood when she hung out with Chen Fan all the time.

Fang Qiong pressed her body tight onto Chen Fan's chest and asked, "Xiao Fan, why did you choose me? Sister An, Fei Fei and Jiang Churan were all nice girls, and some of them are even closer to you than I am. Is it because we met when we were little?"

"Have I told you about the story of the North Mystic Celestial Lord and the Zi Qiong Goddess? It's not finished yet, would you like to hear the rest of it?" Chen Fan asked.

"Yeah."

Fang Qiong leaned into Chen Fan's arms while they both sat on the marble steps. She looked up at the starry sky and listened on.

On Chen Fan's thirtieth birthday, he went for a Class Reunion party. While drunk he decided to end his life there and then by jumping off a building. Luckily, he was saved by Cangqin the Immortal cultivator and met Fang Qiong in the Cang Min Realm. They quickly fell in love again and became each other's companions on their journey toward enlightenment.

However, Fang Qiong was killed by Chen Fan's enemy.

Her death was a huge blow to him, but he turned the anger and grief into motivation and swore to reach the final stage of cultivation in order to bring his lover back.

The rest was all history. He became the Celestial Lord in just five hundred years, but fell during the heavenly tribulation and had to relive his teenage years again.

"I see. "

Fang Qiong rose to her feet as a mix of strong and complicated feelings roiled inside of her. She finally understood the source of Chen Fan's power and confidence.

The girl padded Chen Fan's chest and said with compassion in her voice, "It must have been hard for you in your previous life."

The earth was a small planet in the universe but even here the competition was fierce and deadly. Fang Qiong found it hard to imagine the hardships Chen Fan had endured in order to achieve such height in his cultivation.

Chen Fan pulled the girl closer to him and said, "The thought of you always eases my pain. I made many mistakes in my past life; I will make sure I won't make them again."

The two of them leaned against each other for a long time until the girl finally mustered enough courage to break the silence...

"Hubby, let's get inside."

"Alright."

It was a night of blissful consummation.

When Fang Qiong woke up the next day, she noticed that Chen Fan was not beside her. She looked out of the window and saw the sun had risen from the east, the sea of clouds basked under its glorious golden lights.

Chen Fan was standing by the entrance. Sunshine outlined his figure, giving him the appearance of a War God.

That's my man, the one person that I will spend all of my life with. The thought was as sweet as honey. Even as she got out of bed to look for Chen Fan, she noticed danger was lurking.

A large bird-like creature emerged from the eastern sky, hiding its true form in the bright sunlight.

The thing traveled at an incredible speed and arrived at the North Qiong Pavilion in a blink. She finally realized that the creature was a man.

The man was wearing a dragon robe and an emperor's crown with twelve vertical tassels that draped over its front and back. The dragon's robe was covered with mystic symbols that resemble thunder. The man's body was surrounded by a golden conflagration. However, upon closer look, Chen Fan realized that they were not flames, but the glow from golden lightnings that moved about him.

"Chen Beixuan, I have been waiting for you since yesterday. Time for you to die!"

The man opened his mouth and his voice sounded like the rumbling of distant thunder. His energy shared some similar character with that of the Earth Level Deity Leixing, but was much more powerful

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and murmured to himself, "Earth Level Deity Hanshi?"

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 724 Wife, Watch Me Kill This Worm!

"Indeed, It's me."

The man floated in the air, garbed in the emperor's stately outfit. His gaze was steady and piercing; flickers of lightning flashed in his eyes from time to time. His presence was so powerful that clouds were stirred. He was no doubt the most dangerous foe Chen Fan had ever encountered on earth.

He was the Sect master of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, the Earth Level Deity Hanshi.

Fang Qiong's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of an icy cave.

The Gate of Heaven was closed, so how did he traverse to Earth from Kunxu? Earth Level Deity Hanshi was the sect master of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, an overlord in the Realm of Kunxu who had reached the late-stage of the Connate Spirit. He was far deadlier than any other opponent Chen Fan had encountered.

"I came from the Deity Burial Valley and have been waiting for you since last night. I allowed you a taste of happiness in life because that will make my revenge much more satisfying. It's time to pay for what you did to my disciples."

Earth Level Deity Hanshi fumed as he waved a fist in the air.

Even as he did that, a young couple appeared behind him; they were Xiao Wu and Zhang Ran who had been tasked to guard the Immortal Portal. They shouted at Chen Fan at the top of their lungs, "Senior Master Chen! Get out of here right now! He used an Immortal Treasure and passed the portal!"

The two's warning was cut short by Earth Level Deity Hanshi as he waved a hand and summoned an unseen force to lash out at the young couple. The young man and the girl suddenly disappeared; only a lingering mist of blood suggested that they were alive a second before. "They have betrayed Kunxu. Death to both of them!"

"Xiao Wu, Zhang Ran..."

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes as a coldness flashed across his face.

He was too slow to stop the tragedy. The young couple was from the Black Water Sect in the Realm of Kunxu, but they had been friendly toward people of the Earth. Their masters had sacrificed themselves for the Earth's survival, and so did they.

"Qian Yexue, you are the goddess of the Snow God Palace. How dare you betray your own kind? I shall take you back to Kunxu and bring you to justice."

Earth Level Deity Hanshi extended an arm, sending out a powerful surge of energy that cleared the clouds and pressed down onto the Green Dragon Grand Array. White Drake and the Green Dragon rose to the sky to defend the array, but they were no match against a late-stage Connate Cultivator.

"Boom!"

The force penetrated the defense and turned into an apparition of a giant hand filled with a sizzling electrical energy. The hand bore down on Qian Yexue and seized her, lifting her up above the clouds.

"What is going on?"

The guests at the East Mountain Meadow were shocked by the development. Chen Huaian and Ye Qincang hurried to examine the sky, and found out that they were under attack. "Sh*t, he's a powerful foe. We will help Senior Chen, while the rest of you start working on the Green Dragon Grand Array."

The two of them transformed into two streaks of light that raced across the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

Meanwhile, Earth Level Deity Hanshi had brought Qian Yexue in front of him. Qian Yexue's face darkened as soon as she saw who was after her. "Sect master Lei, how did you get here? I thought the Immortal Portal was sealed."

"Are you afraid? I would never have thought that you would betray Kunxu. You are directly responsible for the deaths of Leixing and Tianmin! I will bring you to justice today. The God's Guillotine awaits you!"

After he finished fuming, he cast a Dharma Seal onto Qian Yexue to immobilize her.

Fear flickered in Qian Yexue's eyes as she struggled to move but failed.

The mention of God's Guillotine sent fear into the Goddess' heart. That was the last place she wanted to visit.

Earth Level Deity Hanshi saw Ye Qincang and Chen Huaian charging toward him, but his attention didn't linger on them. Instead, he landed his steady gaze at Chen Fan.

"I'm surprised to see a talent such as you appear in the mortal world. You shouldn't have messed with the Realm of Kunxu. Our powers are beyond the imagination of lowly mortals."

His impassive manner made him sound like a judge reading out the final verdict.

Ye Qincang and Chen Huaian had landed near Chen Fan. They both felt an unprecedented pressure coming off from this stately old man. Ye Qincang figured that the old man's power had to exceed the combined forces of five Earth Level Deities in the Realm of Kunxu.

"His power is terrifying. Is that the true power of the Overlords in the Realm of Kunxu?"

Ye Qingcang was shocked.

The scurrying clouds suddenly stopped moving as the lightning energy that surrounded the Heavenly Thunder Sect Master started to charge up. Once unleashed, those energies would devastate everything within a kilometer radius. His gaze grew cold and threatening like a carnivorous beast of a time long past.

Qian Yexue's face paled after seeing the development.

He was powerful even by Kunxu's standards. Only a few other sect masters and Curmudgeons in Kunxu would dare to face him.

"Xiao Fan...!" Fang Qiong shouted at Chen Fan, her voice was broken.

Chen Fan ignored her, and took a large stride. Winds howled around him, tossing up his dark flowing hair and making his sleeves flap, but his steps were steady. An azure glow slowly illuminated his body and outlined his muscles.

"Three moves. If you can counter three of my moves, I will spare your life."

Golden flames sprouted from his eyes, bright as beacons.

"You're shameless."

Earth Level Deity Hanshi hissed, eyes filled with conceit. "I will let you hit me three hundred times. How about that? If you can so much as harm a hair of mine, I will leave you alone."

"Grandpa, Brother Ye, please guard the North Qiong Pavilion. Wife, I will squash this worm."

Chen Fan took a few more steps as the Divine Light burned brighter until it became a huge golden conflagration. His honeymoon had been interrupted, and their lovenest was under attack. He poured all the anger into the fire around him, until it was hot enough to burn a Celestial Lord to death.

Suddenly, the two powerful energies clashed into each other.

"Boom!"

The impact split the sea of clouds into two.

The people on the ground were shaken after they sensed the terrifying power above the clouds. The energy of the enemy was ancient and hungry. Hua Yunfeng, Xie Yan and Azure Dragon all knew that Chen Fan was up against a powerful foe.

However anxious they felt, they couldn't do anything to help.

"Please relax, everyone, we should believe in our Master's ability. He will win, he always does," Hua Yunfeng said firmly, trying to calm everyone.

The two energies were intertwined as they stirred the clouds to form two cyclones. The two twisters both grew in size as they clashed into each other.

The outpour of energy from these clashes forced Ye Qincang and Chen Huaian to retreat into the North Qiong Pavilion. The North Qiong Pavilion was a Dharma Artifact, it could therefore provide some protection. Ye Qincang also rescued Qian Yexue from the mayhem.

"Tell Heavenly Chen to be careful! He is a powerful foe. Even the Azure Mystic Sect Master fears crossing swords with him," Qian Yexue urged.

Ye Qincang let out a wry smile. They wouldn't even get near Chen Fan, much less warn him of any danger. However, the girl's words shocked Ye Qincang.

He, Chen Fan and Earth Level Deity Hanshi were all Connate Cultivators, but his power was much inferior. Earth Level Deity Hanshi could have killed him by lifting a finger.

"So that's the strength of late-stage Connate Level. No wonder Senior Chen told me that everytime I made any progress in the Connate Level, my power would increase at least ten times. The difference between an early-stage and a late-stage Connate Cultivator is as great as that between an Internal Force User and an Immortal State Warrior," Ye Qincang murmured to himself.

Meanwhile, the battle in the sky had just begun.

Chen Fan turned up his palm and lifted it. With a loud clunk, a dark blade with sizzling energy appeared in his hand. Purple electric energy arced across the blade's thick spine from time to time. The body of the blade was clear and was filled with zapping energies.

"The Purple Thunder Blade was crafted by my Ancestral Masters using the body of a Thunder God. You think you can defeat me with my own weapon?" Earth Level Deity Hanshi let out a peal of laughter.

He waved his sleeve and summoned a large Thunder Dragon. The Dragon's eyes were two balls of flashing lightning.

Demon Divine Thunder!

It was the most powerful Divine Power of the Heavenly Thunder Sect.

Leixing had used it before, but the Earth Level Deity Hanshi's execution of the art was far deadlier in comparison.

"First hack!" Chen Fan yelled.

True Essence poured into the Thunder Blade as the flashes of light intensified. The Blade Auras grew rapidly in size and reached a hundred meters in a blink, illuminating the sky with their deadly glow like legendary blades wielded by primordial gods.

The Blade Qi slit open the sea of clouds as bolts of lightning jolted up from the body of the blade, charging up its energy.

"This is..."

The Earth Level Deity Hanshi was taken aback.

His impassive face finally showed signs of fear and surprise as he witnessed how the power of the blade surged beyond what he could have ever imagined.

Earth Level Deity Hanshi had never thought to find such an amazing ability in a mortal.

"Hasn't he just reached the Earth Deity level? Why is he already more powerful than me?" Even as Earth Level Deity Hanshi pondered, Chen Fan attacked.

"Crack."

The Divine Blade swept across the sky in a flat arc.

The attack was much more breathtaking while looking from the ground. The Blade Auras sliced through clouds as thick as blankets with their sizzling purple energy. The movement of the Blade Auras sent chills down people's spines.

The blow was aimed at Earth Level Deity Hanshi. To him, it felt like the blade had hacked open reality itself, creating a fissure that sucked all matter into the void, until only the blade and its movement remained.

"Break!"

Earth Level Deity Hanshi shouted in a hurry, pouring out his Dharmic powers into the golden dragon. The dragon charged out in a zigzag pattern to stop Chen Fan's attack.

"Boom!"

A deafening blare came up when the Demon Divine Thunder clashed with the Purple Thunder.

The two energy surges struggled against each other for only a very brief moment before the dragon was split into two by the Blade Auras. The Blade Auras jetted forward at Earth Level Deity Hanshi.

Earth Level Deity Hanshi scrambled to cast defensive spells to repel the Thunder Blade, but failed.

Standing on his last leg, Earth Level Deity Hanshi was forced to rely on arts that he didn't want to use. Suddenly, the Wind Thunder Wings appeared on his back and they lifted him up to evade the deadly attack.

The Sect Master flew back a few thousand meters after only the first round of exchange.

Before Earth Level Deity Hanshi could gather himself, he heard Chen Fan's voice resound in his ears.

"The second hack!"

"crack!"

The sky was torn open by a powerful force, giving birth to a violet storm. Constant flashes of lightning merged together and formed a blade that was far deadlier and threatening than the last blade.

Color was drained from Earth Level Deity Hanshi's face as he realized that he was in trouble.

Chapter 725 Defeating a Supreme Figure

Before his arrival.

Earth Level Deity Hanshi had never thought that Chen Fan would be this powerful.

After he caught Zhang Ran and Xiao Wu and got some information from their Divine Souls, he went all the way to East Mountain without knowing that Chen Fan had once defeated countries and survived nuclear explosions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted so confidently.

"I was too careless."

Earth Level Deity Hanshi looked serious and there were azure glitters on his Wind Thunder Wings. At the same time, he took out a transparent sword from his sleeve; the weapon was surrounded by an azure lightning.

Once the sword appeared.

Bolts of lightning struck; a burst of energy that was on par with the might of the Purple Thunder Blade was shot into the sky.

Earth Level Deity Hanshi said with pride, "The sword is called 'Heavenly Retribution Sword.' It was made with the azure thunder above the Realm of Kunxu by our Ancestral Master 'Lord Heavenly Thunder,' to deal out punishments on Heaven's behalf.

"This sword is the treasure of my sect. It has killed seventeen Earth Level Deities and you'll be the eighteenth."

Another Quasi-Spirit Treasure!

It was even stronger than the Purple Thunder Blade!

But Chen Fan looked calm; he had even taken the initiative to slash with his sword.

Countless bolts of lightning turned into the Purple Thunder Blade. The blade eventually became black and swept across the air, creating a mark as if the sky had been split.

"Go"

Earth Level Deity Hanshi summoned the powers of the Heavenly Retribution Sword.

Flashes of azure lightning struck and each of them carried a destructive energy, as if they were part of the divine retribution against the world.

Chen Fan followed the blade and turned into a blade aura.

The power of Earth Level Deity Hanshi was also infused into the Heavenly Retribution Sword. The two Quasi-Spirit Treasures—the transparent Heavenly Retribution Sword and the Thunder Blade surrounded by purple thunderbolts—clashed against each other in the air.

"Bang! Bang!"

The two lightnings clashed against each other.

Each flash of azure lightning and purple lightning carried a terrifying energy, enough to crack giant stones and crush military vehicles. An area of about a hundred meter radius was immediately turned into a sea of lightning.

"Go!" Earth Level Deity Hanshi yelled.

His eyes were like flashes of light and his energy was earth-shattering. A ten feet aura was filled with a terrifying Thunder Dharmic Power. Anyone who entered that area would be crushed into pieces by the energy and the lightning bolts.

But Chen Fan kept pushing with his blade.

Chen Fan looked at Earth Level Deity Hanshi coldly. He only wanted to split this man in half, especially for having interrupted his wedding.

"Boom!"

In the end, Earth Level Deity Hanshi was overwhelmed and he was knocked backwards, creating a big hole in the clouds. The Heavenly Retribution Sword also let out some sounds and vibrated violently.

Speaking of quality.

The Heavenly Retribution Sword was better than the Purple Thunder Blade and was also a Quasi-Spirit Treasure, but one was made with thunderbolts and the other had been created from bodies of Entities. In terms of materials, the Heavenly Retribution Sword was controlled by the Sect Masters of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, having been refined many times.

And yet, Chen Fan was much stronger than Earth Level Deity Hanshi.

"It's impossible. How is this possible?"

Earth Level Deity Hanshi was stunned.

He was the Sect Master of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, a supreme figure of the Realm of Kunxu with a Quasi-Spirit Treasure, no less. How would he lose to someone from the mortal world?

"If you have a Spirit Treasure, you might be able to fight with me. A peak-stage Connate Being is nothing to me." Chen Fan sneered and moved forward.

The Purple Thunder Blade let out some buzzing sounds.

This was a rare moment it could beat the Heavenly Retribution Sword after thousands of years.

Earth Level Deity Hanshi froze. The Spirit Treasure couldn't be used, unless it was a matter of life and death. Although he was the Sect Master, he dared not to take it to Earth and become the sinner of the sect.

Earth Level Deity Hanshi shouted, "Heavenly Thunder Dharma Body!"

A giant phantom, which was also wearing a dragon robe and the emperor's crown, appeared behind him. A terrifying energy surrounded it, as if it were Lord Heavenly Thunder.

Once the phantom appeared, Earth Level Deity Hanshi became even fiercer than before.

"It's surprising to see there's a Dharma Body Art on Earth, but it was only created by you. How can it stop me?" Chen Fan's hand didn't stop moving.

"Bang."

A thunderbolt struck when the Thunder Blade slashed.

Earth Level Deity Hanshi also went forward with his sword. The phantom behind him followed suit, pulling a semi-transparent sword out of thin air. The sword was similar to the Heavenly Retribution Sword, as if there were two Earth Level Deity Hanshi present.

Dharma Body was a secret art of the Realm of Cultivation. It could elevate the might of all kinds of Divine Powers and Dharma Spells once achieved.

Chen Fan's Kun Peng Dharma Form and Tong Shan's Tiger Demon were also Dharma Bodies, but Earth Level Deity Hanshi's could never compare to the Kun Peng Dharma Form of. Even Tong Shan could defeat him after entering the Connate Level.

"Boom!"

The Thunder Blade and the Heavenly Retribution Sword clashed again.

This time, Chen Fan didn't hold back anymore. He slashed and split the Heavenly Thunder Body, hitting Earth Level Deity Hanshi dead on.

"Ahrr!" Earth Level Deity Hanshi screamed.

He clashed against a mountain near East Mountain and split it in half. If his Earth Level Deity Body wasn't strong enough, he would have been smashed into pieces.

"Again!"

Chen Fan came down from the sky with coldness in his eyes.

Earth Level Deity Hanshi was frightened.

This was the first time he felt his life was threatened. Chen Fan's terrifying power was beyond his imagination. "Not even the Sect Master of the Azure Mystic Sect or the Master of Yuntian Palace are as strong as him."

Earth Level Deity Hanshi shot out from the mountain and flapped his Wind Thunder Wings, then turned into a white lightning and escaped.

He couldn't imagine why there was such an Overlord in the mortal world.

"You can't get away!"

Each step Chen Fan took covered a thousand feet. Even though he had not summoned the Kun Peng Dharma Form, his speed had reached five times the speed of sound and he instantly caught up with Earth Level Deity Hanshi.

Chen Huaian and the others were dumbfounded.

The powerful Earth Level Deity Hanshi was brutally beaten by Chen Fan?

"That's a supreme figure..." Qian Yexue said.

Ye Qincang shook his head. "Senior Chen's power has reached a point beyond our imagination. I'm afraid that not even the powerhouses in the Realm of Kunxu are a match for him."

"Boom, boom, boom!"

They clashed a few times.

Every time Earth Level Deity Hanshi tried to escape, Chen Fan slashed him down from the sky.

"Heavenly Thunder Dharma Body."

"Heavenly Thunder Eyes."

"Dragon Thunder Hand..."

Many secret arts and Divine Powers of the Heavenly Thunder Sect were released from Earth Level Deity Hanshi's hand. As a peak-stage Connate Cultivator who had lived five hundred years, he was extremely powerful and knew an unimaginable number of secret arts.

But Chen Fan broke all of the Dharma Spells and Divine Powers.

Earth Level Deity Hanshi spurted out blood several times.

He had never met such an enemy. Chen Fan didn't even use a Divine Power or Dharma Spell, and still, his attacks were overwhelming. Chen Fan's True Essence was so powerful it could kill him.

"Boom!"

Once again.

Earth Level Deity Hanshi's Divine Powers were subdued by Chen Fan and he fell from the sky onto a highway, smashing a hundred meters of the road and forming a human-shaped pit.

The Sect Master of the Heavenly Thunder Sect couldn't bear it anymore.

"Chen Beixuan, do you really think I can't deal with you?"

Earth Level Deity Hanshi ran on the road with a vicious look.

"Nonsense!"

Chen Fan ignored him and slashed as he flashed forward.

"Go to hell!"

Earth Level Deity Hanshi took out a black and white jade ball surrounded by two qi dragons from his sleeve. There were flashes of lightning around the jade ball, carrying a destructive power.

Qian Yexue saw the jade ball in the air and was startled.

"Oh no, it's the Yin Yang Thunder of the Heavenly Thunder Sect. I heard that it took the Earth Level Deity of the sect more than a century to make one. It's powerful enough to shatter the earth!"

But it was too late.

Earth Level Deity Hanshi had set it off.

"Boom!"

Two black and white air currents exploded and turned into a terrifying thunderstorm. The entire three-kilometer area was enveloped by black and white qi. The highways, trees, lawn and rice fields nearby were completely destroyed.

"Bang!"

A golden ray of light escaped from the thunderstorm and Chen Fan appeared.

He was wearing the Armor of Golden Flame and the power of his Divine Body was surging to the maximum. The Five Thunder Seal above his head let out beams of light.

"How dare you!"

Chen Fan was enraged. He had never thought that Earth Level Deity Hanshi would have such a tactic available; it was as powerful as the energy bombs of the Wise Men. If Chen Fan hadn't turned on his shield in time, he would have been severely injured.

"Still not dead?"

Earth Level Deity Hanshi gasped.

The Yin Yang Thunder was the treasure of the Heavenly Thunder Sect. Even the Sect Master of the Azure Mystic Sect couldn't survive its attack. So, how strong was Chen Fan's body?

"Take one more strike from me."

Then, Earth Level Deity Hanshi immediately attacked again, but this time, he shot at East Mountain.

A distraction!

"Oh no!"

Chen Fan was startled. He quickly turned into a beam of light and flashed towards the Divine Thunder at several times the speed of sound. If the Divine Thunder exploded, everyone on East Mountain would die.

As he kept up with the Yin Yang Thunder, he cast a few Dharma Spells and sealed the Divine Thunder. At the same time, Earth Level Deity Hanshi had already turned into an azure light and disappeared in the sky.

"I'll kill you no matter where you go."

Chen Fan was enraged; he immediately ran after him.

When both of them disappeared, only the mess near the East Mountain was left.

"The fireworks for the wedding were a bit late!"

Wang Xiaoyun smiled with embarrassement.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 726 Entering Kunxu!

Earth Level Deity Hanshi was a supreme figure.

He had cultivated for a long time and was a Sect Master in the Realm of Kunxu. He had participated in countless battles, mastered endless secret arts and had a lot of Defensive Dharma Treasures on his body. Killing him was too difficult.

But he had been backed into a corner by Chen Fan.

He ran all the way to the west, to the Deity Burial Valley. Apparently, he wanted to get to the Gate of Heaven, but Chen Fan wouldn't let him. If Earth Level Deity Hanshi returned to Kunxu, the entire realm would be stirred. When the Gate of Heaven truly opened, the Earth Level Deities from that realm would enter the planet; not even Chen Fan could stop hundreds of them.

"Go to hell!"

Chen Fan stuck out his finger and crushed a Spirit Artifact.

Earth Level Deity Hanshi had to use the Blood Escape Spell again. His thumb exploded and turned into a blood mist that enveloped him, but Chen Fan immediately broke the sonic barrier and chased after him at five times the speed of sound.

Don He Province, Zhong Zhou, Xikang Province...

The two of them went across half of China. In the end, Earth Level Deity Hanshi entered the Deity Burial Valley and Chen Fan stopped him at the Gate of Heaven.

At the Deity Burial Valley.

The Gate of Heaven was still standing on the stone platform. Earth Level Deity Hanshi was only a hundred steps away from it, but at the same time, he looked gloomy.

Because there was a person between himself and the Gate of Heaven.

Chen Fan!

He stood in front of the Gate of Heaven as if he were isolated from the world and Earth Level Deity Hanshi was blocked a hundred steps away.

"What a shame!"

Earth Level Deity Hanshi heaved a sigh.

He became calm again. "I'd have taken out the treasures from my sect if we were in the Realm of Kunxu. They can certainly kill you. I just wasn't able to bring too many Dharma Treasures this time."

Chen Fan flicked his fingers and said, "Even if you had a Spirit Treasure, I can still kill you."

"You're shameless."

Earth Level Deity Hanshi grunted and said no more. He turned around and looked at Chen Fan. "Chen Beixuan, you're indeed a rare talent. You might be able to become a Sky Immortal like those in the ancient times, to be on an equal footing with my Ancestral Master, the Old Man of Nine Abandonments and the Lord of the East House. Still, this world has limited your development, you've reached the highest level you can achieve in this world."

"Nothing can save you."

Chen Fan came with his hand behind his back.

Chen Fan was furious, since Earth Level Deity Hanshi interrupted his wedding festivities and tried to destroy East Mountain.

"No, what I mean is, when the Gate of Heaven opens in three years, the deities in Kunxu will come to the mortal world and you'll definitely die!" Earth Level Deity Hanshi burst into laughter.

"Three years is like the blink of an eye to Earth Level Deities like me. Three years later, those who come, including the Sect Master of the Azure Mystic Sect, the Master of Snow God Palace, Elephant God Master and Cloud Heaven Thearch, all of them are more powerful than I am. You might be able to kill me, but can you kill those deities in Kunxu?"

"Hm!"

Chen Fan wasn't worried at all.

As he walked, his body let out beams of azure light and his Armor of Golden Flame was burning violently, as if he was a God.

"Boom!"

The last battle began.

This time, Earth Level Deity Hanshi exerted himself to the limit and used all kinds of forbidden secret arts. The Heavenly Thunder Dharma Body appeared and Lord Heavenly Thunder moved fiercely with the Heavenly Retribution Sword in his hand.

Chen Fan didn't care, throwing punches immediately.

His Divine Body was indestructible. He could break the Dharma Form of Lord Heavenly Thunder, including all kinds of Dharma Artifacts and secret arts. Chen Fan took ten steps at once and punched ten times, crushing seven Spirit Artifacts and knocking a Quasi-Spirit Treasure away. In the end, Earth Level Deity Hanshi couldn't bear it anymore and flew backwards, making a thousand-meter trench on the ground.

"Forbidden Secret Arts, Mixed-Essence Divine Thunder!"

Earth Level Deity Hanshi spurted out blood and his white hair fluttered in the air.

Many kinds of Divine Thunders were released from his hand.

Black Divine Thunder, Azure Divine Thunder, Purple Divine Thunder, Yin Yang Divine Thunder...

In a blink, Earth Level Deity Hanshi used nine Thunder Arts in quick succession; the nine Divine Thunders combined into a colorful thunder ball which carried a horrifying energy.

Chen Fan said, "It's similar to the Five Elements Thunder, but your level is too low. If you practice for a hundred thousand years more, you might be able to create another cultivation art that can compare to the Five Elements Thunder."

As the reincarnation of the Celestial Lord, the biggest advantage he had after being reborn wasn't the vast knowledge, which included all sorts of arts and spells, but his discerning ability.

"Explode!"

Earth Level Deity Hanshi struck the thunder ball.

"Boom!"

The Mixed-Essence Divine Thunder exploded. This was a forbidden secret art of the Heavenly Thunder Sect. Countless seniors of the sect had died because of it, so they banned their disciples from practicing it. Its power was indeed terrifying.

A ball of lightning exploded.

The area was surrounded by thunderbolts and half of the stone platform was destroyed. The Spirit Beasts in the Deity Burial Valley hid in a corner and were trembling. They could feel the massive power resulting from the two energies clashing against each other. Each of the energies could level the entire Deity Burial Valley.

"Whoosh."

After the lightning weakened, Earth Level Deity Hanshi was panting in a corner of the stone platform. When the Divine Thunder exploded, he slipped aside and avoided the center of the thunderstorm, but Chen Fan was only fifty steps away from it. He must have been swept away.

"Not even a Sky Immortal is able to withstand the Mixed-Essence Divine Thunder of the Heavenly Thunder Sect. Chen Beixuan, you're still too weak..."

Earth Level Deity Hanshi smiled. Even though his body was full of injuries and half of his meridians were broken, he was thrilled since he was able to defeat such a powerful enemy.

"Is that so?"

A clear voice came from the lightning mass.

Earth Level Deity Hanshi stopped laughing and looked over in shock.

Chen Fan was enveloped in an azure aura as he moved forward, letting the lightning strike him like the waves hitting on a reef.

"You're alive?"

Earth Level Deity Hanshi widened his eyes and said with fright in his eyes, "No Earth Level Deity can withstand my Mixed-Essence Divine Thunder! That is, unless you have the body of a Sky Immortal... but how is that possible? If you do, doesn't it mean that you're only half a step away from becoming a Sky Immortal? But you're only at the early stage of the Earth Deity level!"

Sky Immortals!

Even in the ancient times, they were beings that could shake the world and were regarded as the True Gods in the West! When the Earth collapsed, the Sky Immortals also managed to escape the planet.

There hadn't been a Sky Immortal in the Realm of Kunxu for thousands of years.

The Sect Master of the Azure Mystic Sect was barely close to that level.

"A Golden Core Body? I haven't achieved that yet but I'm close," Chen Fan replied and stepped on Earth Level Deity Hanshi who lay on the ground. He wasn't able to bear it.

Crack!

The bones of Earth Level Deity Hanshi broke and his chest was dented. Even his heart was crushed. He would probably die after being injured so severely.

"Chen Beixuan, even if you kill me, you'll be the same as me one day. The others in the Realm of Kunxu will take revenge for me. I'm waiting for the moment they come into the mortal world and turn this piece of land into Hell."

Earth Level Deity Hanshi burst into laughter.

"Really? you won't survive to see that day."

Chen Fan then stomped on the head of Earth Level Deity Hanshi and turned around, walking towards the Gate of Heaven! The body of Earth Level Deity Hanshi had been destroyed and his Divine Soul started to shatter. He looked at Chen Fan in confusion.

He only saw Chen Fan walking to the Gate of Heaven and turning into a light ball. There was a weird beast inside.

"It seems to be the Kun Peng, a legendary Divine Beast.

"What is he doing?"

Earth Level Deity Hanshi was confused.

The last thing he saw was that the Kun Peng spread its wings and clashed against the Gate of Heaven. The entire gate shook and Chen Fan gradually entered.

"He's going into the Realm of Kunxu?"

The Earth Level Deity Hanshi was shocked.

"It's impossible. Nobody can cross the Gate of Heaven without the power of a Sky Immortal and a Space Treasure. He's going to die..."

Unfortunately, Earth Level Deity Hanshi couldn't watch Chen Fan die. His Divine Soul exploded and golden flames came out from it, burning him to ashes.

Ye Qincang and Chen Huaian arrived and only saw Chen Fan for a moment.

"Take care of the North Qiong Sect and wait for me to return..."

Everyone looked at the Gate of Heaven in surprise.

"He entered the Realm of Kunxu by himself?"

Qian Yexue was dumbfounded.

That was the legendary Realm of Kunxu, a world full of Earth Level Deities; there was a chance that even Sky Immortals were hidden inside. Only Qian Yexue knew how terrifying the Realm of Kunxu was and how many Overlords there were.

Ye Qincang looked around and said, "Senior Chen volunteered to go in there and suppress Kunxu. We must remember that he's the hero of all mankind! From now on, those who dare to offend the North Qiong Sect will be the enemies of Kunlun and China."

Everyone nodded.

At the ancestral hall of the Heavenly Thunder Sect in the Realm of Kunxu.

Located inside a mountain surrounded by clouds and thunderbolts...

The elders of the Heavenly Thunder Sect were sitting in the hall quietly with their legs crossed. Suddenly, a tablet set at the highest place exploded.

All the elders opened their eyes at the same time and were clearly startled by this.

Those tablets carried a hint of spirit of the disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Sect. If they died outside, the tablet would break. The one at the top belonged to the Sect Master...

An elder said as he trembled, "The Sect Master died in the mortal world."

In a blink, the news spread across the entire Realm of Kunxu.

Everyone was stunned.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 727 First Time In Kunxu

The Heavenly Thunder Sect was a major force in the Realm of Kunxu.

Although the sect's ranking was unimpressive, no one could question the strength of the Earth Level Deity Hanshi. Therefore, his downfall in the mortal world had caused panic in the Realm of Kunxu.

It wasn't long before people in Kunxu saw countless rays of light streaming toward the Yuntian Palace at the center of the realm. Each light represented an Earth Level Deity; they were gathering at the Yuntian Palace to discuss the implications of the latest development.

Meanwhile, the low level cultivators in Kunxu also started to boil over after they heard the news.

"Have you heard? Earth Level Deity Hanshi's Spirit Tablet is broken. He was killed in the mortal world."

"Heavens! First it was Tian Mingzi, Earth Level Deity Leixing, and Changhe Sword Immortal... now it's the Sect master Hanshi. What is going on in the mortal world? Which mortal could have made such quick work of an Overlord in Kunxu?"

"A lot of things must have changed over there."

Cultivators in Kunxu discussed the development among each other.

Over the last few thousand years, the Gate of Heaven had been opened many times to allow Kunxu Cultivators to travel to Earth. Nearly all of them considered themselves much more superior and enlightened when compared to the mortals on Earth.

This was the first time for Overlords in the Realm of Kunxu to be killed in the mortal world, pulling the rug from under everyone.

Inside the Snow God Palace...

Lu Yanxue was wearing a plain outfit, but it couldn't hide her exquisite features. She was taken aback when she heard news about the mortal world in the chattering of her sect sisters.

"I wonder how Xiao Wu and Chen Fan are doing," Lu Yanxue thought to herself.

"Lu Yanxue, the Sutra Library is still messy, clean it again. Hurry!" a woman with a thin face and tall stature said in a cold voice.

Lu Yanxue lowered her head and replied obediently, "Yes, Sect Sister Qi."

Even as she shuffled out of the grounds quietly, she heard snide remarks behind her, "She's just a mortal, who does she think she is? I would have her working outside the temple among the lowest-tiered disciples if it weren't for Aunt-Master Hong."

"Senior Sister, be careful with what you say. She has the Ice Spirit Root, she is special."

"Hehe, she'll become an Earth Level Deity if the sun rises from the west."

As the sneers and snickers got louder and more obnoxious, Lu Yanxue lowered her head and left without saying a word.

Meanwhile, at the Yuntian Palace...

The palace grounds were paved with fire jade, and its massive ceiling was supported by pillars embellished with golden dragons. Smoke from incense burners lingered around the exposed beams. An angry Earth Level Deity shouted hotly, "Let me take the Dharma Treasures from all sects and storm the mortal world."

"I will go with you. We can't let our beloved disciples' deaths stay unavenged."

"The Heavenly Thunder Sect will follow you as well."

Meanwhile, the sect master who sat at the head of the table looked at each of them, observing the flickering concern in their eyes.

They were still trying to come to terms with what had just happened. The Earth Level Deity Hanshi had been a force to be reckoned with, and his sudden death told them that things weren't that simple.

However, they were used to sitting on their high horses. Content breeds arrogance. They were convinced that as long as they reopened the Gate of Heaven, the cultivators in the Realm of Kunxu would annihilate their mortal opponents.

"All sects should go back and prepare for the reopening of the Gate of Heaven. We shall trample over the mortal's dead bodies," Cloud Heaven Thearch said. He sat on top of a high platform and his body was shrouded by a thick mist.

"Will do!"

The Earth Level Deities nodded.

Fire burned in their eyes. Chen Fan had aggravated them again and again, killing many of their peers. They anxiously waited for the reopening of the portal to rain death and destruction onto earth as revenge.

However, unknown to the cultivators in Kunxu, Chen Fan was already on his way to find them.

"Susu!"

Inside the portal between the Realm of Kunxu and Earth, a wash of azure light darted left and right, trying to avoid the deadly energy swirls.

Chen Fan carefully flew past a few deadly energy clusters as he thought to himself, "I am still not powerful enough to traverse the portal in my human form. I'm fortunate to have learned the Sky-Swallowing Painting and attained the Kun Peng Dharma Form. The Kun Peng was a creature that thrived in between dimensions, while in this form I can use the ability called Great Chaos Art to aid my journey in this deadly environment.

"That being said, this form can only take me to alternative universes that are closely linked to Earth, such as Kunxu. It wouldn't help in a portal that leads to a far away world."

A few dimension shards grazed his body, instantly opening up a couple of wounds. However, Chen Fan was unaffected by the treacherous journey.

He would never have peace of mind while the realm of Kunxu still existed.

"Plus, the Path of Heaven might be inside the Realm of Kunxu. I had to pay a visit sooner or later." Chen Fan's eyes grew cold as he opened up both wings and shouted, "Open!"

"Boom!"

With a loud noise came an opening at the end of the portal.

The opening was shrinking in size rapidly, almost as soon as it appeared. Chen Fan charged forward, transforming into a thin streak of light that dashed through the opening.

Meanwhile, the cultivators guarding the Gate of Heaven thought that they felt the gate shake a little, but when they took a second look, nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary.

A few hundred kilometers away from the Gate of Heaven, a portal suddenly opened up, spilling out a wash of azure light.

"Whoosh!"

The light dissipated, revealing Chen Fan and an apparition of the Kun Peng. The beast smirked at the sky and disappeared into Chen Fan's body.

Chen Fan's body was covered with wounds. One wound ran from chest to waist, nearly severing him in two. Such an attack should have killed a Golden Core cultivator. The journey had taken a toll on Chen Fan's system; his strength had dropped from the Connate Level to that of a Foundation Establishment practitioner.

However, Chen Fan was not concerned about this setback.

He took a deep breath and cracked a satisfying smile.

"Such rich Spirit Qi. I haven't felt so good in ages. It's almost as if I were back in the Realm of Cultivation."

The Spirit Qi in Kunxu was more abundant than in any place on earth.

Chen Fan surveyed his surroundings and found a forest ahead of him. The trees in the forest were all over a hundred meters tall and under their massive canopies were all kinds of cryptids. A giant golden bird swooped down and snatched a prey the size of an elephant.

"Creak—crack"

Chen Fan wanted to stand up, but found that it was impossible. He activated his inner sight and realized that half of his meridians were torn; even his invincible Jade Bones were cracked at some places. Worse, there was only half of his True Essence reserve left in his system.

"I might have pushed myself too far. The space portal is still too much for me."

His injuries were much more serious than what he had sustained in the Blood Sea.

However, Chen Fan didn't seem to be worried.

"The Azure Thearch Longevity Body has been widely known for its rejuvenation ability. With the abundant Wood Element Spirit Qi in this realm, I should be able to recover to full strength in less than three months. Plus, I still have the Divine Child inside the Blade Strengthening Gourd."

The power of the Divine Child made Chen Fan second guess himself. He wagered that he wouldn't be able to contain him if he were to release him at the moment. It was better to wait until he turned him into a Treasure Medicine.

"I shall annihilate the Realm of Kunxu as soon as I am fully recovered," Chen Fan thought to himself as he slowly closed his eyes.

"Phew."

He sat cross legged under a giant tree.

He adjusted his body and set it into an embryonic state, drawing Wood Element Spirit Qi toward him. As countless little wisp of green energy entered his body, his wounds started to heal and his breath became stronger.

Mid-stage Foundation Establishment... late-stage...

Three days later, Chen Fan was back at the Ethereal Enlightenment Level.

Half a month later, Chen Fan had reached the Divine Sea.

Just as his power increased, so did the amount of Wood Element Spirit Qi he required. Wood Element Spirit Qi from a thousand meter radius was slowly funneled toward him.

Chen Fan drank the dew condensed on the leaves when thirsty and ate the Essence Gathering Pills when hungry.

Fang Qiong and An Ya had stuffed the Blade Strengthening Gourd with all kinds of food and amenities, including a vehicle. If Chen Fan craved for fresh meat, he would lure a small beast out of the woods using his Divine Will and later BBQ the critter over open fire.

The beasts in the Realm of Kunxu grew up in an environment filled with Spirit Qi; as a result, their meat was extremely juicy. If Chen Fan wasn't in a hurry to recover his strength, he would have fallen prey to gluttony, sampling all the wild beasts in the woods.

One day, Chen Fan was harnessing Spirit Qi under a tree as usual.

He had been sitting like that for weeks; not even the patch of fallen leaves over his shoulders could distract him. Most of the wounds on his body were healed so he had regained his godly appearance. Even the wounds inside his body were healing at a rapid rate.

Suddenly, a girl's voice came up from a distance, "Dad, I sense many Spirit Qi threads converging here. Could it be a Spirit Medicine?"

Then, Chen Fan heard a quick succession of footsteps landing on crunchy leaves.

A deep voice came up, "Xiu'er, be careful. There might be beasts around here." Suddenly, the bush before Chen Fan opened up, revealing a cute young girl in a flaming red outfit.

The girl gaped in surprise as she discovered Chen Fan, then she jerked her head to a side while shouting in panic.

"What's going on?" The deep voice sounded concerned. The speaker sped up, then acted just as shocked when he arrived before Chen Fan.

Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes.

He examined the two intruders, and then looked back at himself. Then and only then did he realize he was naked from top to bottom. His clothes had been destroyed in the portal.

The North Mystic Celestial Lord met the people of Kunxu in his birthday suit.

Awkward...

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 728 Who Are you?

"Ahem."

It would take a lot to embarrass a Celestial Lord, but being naked in front of strangers seemed to be too much even for Chen Fan. He summoned a black robe with an art. The middle-aged man was shocked by Chen Fan's ability and respect surfaced on his face.

"I am Junior Cultivator Qi Mufeng, and this is my daughter Xiu'er. It is my honor to meet you, Immortal Master."

"Immortal Master?"

Chen Fan was taken aback.

The girl kept her face buried in between her palms while only peeking through her fingers. She followed her father's example and bowed to Chen Fan. "My name is Qi Xiu'er. Nice to meet you, Immortal Master."

"You may rise."

Chen Fan furrowed his brow.

Chen Fan sensed Internal Force inside the father-daughter pair. Qi Mufeng was at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment, while Qi Xiu'er had just reached the introductory level.

"They would have been powerful internal force warriors if they lived on Earth, but in Kunxu, they are nobodies," Chen Fan thought to himself.

Qi Mufeng and Qi Xiu'er rose to their feet.

"I was wounded while fighting against a powerful foe and was forced to recuperate here. Ah... Where am I, and who are you?" Chen Fan used the easiest excuse he could come up with.

Although Qi Mufeng remained unconvinced, the unwary girl believed every word Chen Fan had said. So she answered all of Chen Fan's questions.

Chen Fan learned that anyone who reached a level of attainment higher than Ethereal Enlightenment would be called Immortal Master in the Realm of Kunxu.

He also learned that the mountains around him were part of the Manggu Range, which stretched across the entire realm. Many monsters and Fey Beasts lurked in these mountains; the further one went, the more dangerous it was. Chen Fan was standing right on the mountain range's boundary.

"We are from Qishan City just outside of these mountains. My father is the City Lord," Qi Xiu'er said with pride on her face.

Chen Fan cracked a smile.

He had learned from Qian Yi Xue that the Realm of Kunxu's population was in the hundreds of millions, scattered in countless settlements. These settlements were independent city states, and could be as large as metropolises on Earth. Although those settlements were autonomous, each of them was affiliated to a major sect, and had to listen to the Sect Masters' orders.

"Qishan City is under the Eastern River Sect's protection. According to the sect rules, we are required to report your presence to the Immortal Masters of the Eastern River Sect," Qi Mufeng said slowly.

"Eastern River Sect? I've never heard of it. How does it compare with the Heavenly Thunder Sect or the Azure Mystic Sect?"

Chen Fan yawned.

Qi Mufeng tightened his back as his face became serious. "The Heavenly Thunder Sect and the Azure Mystic Sect are Exalted Sects that have been around for thousands of years, they are guarded by Supreme Overlords. The Eastern River Sect only had one Earth Level Deity in its heyday. May I ask if you are from the Heavenly Thunder Sect or the Azure Mystic Sect?"

Admiration and fear were written all over Qi Mufeng's face.

A Immortal Master from a large sect obviously deserved much more repect than even the Sect Master of the Eastern River Sect.

"Sure," Chen Fan replied.

Chen Fan not only knew cultivators from those sects such as Earth Level Deity Hanshi and Earth Level Deity Leixing, but he had also killed all of them.

Qi Mufeng bowed deeply to Chen Fan and invited him to visit Qishan City. Chen Fan accepted the invitation.

By then, his wounds had almost recovered and he had also reached the Divine Sea level again. With the help of many tricks and devices under his disposal, he was confident about his safety.

"I should head out and look for some medicine to create Grand Pills using the Divine Child. That should help me recover even faster," Chen Fan thought to himself.

"Immortal Master Chen, which Sect are you from?"

"Immortal Master Chen, have you seen real sages? What do they look like?"

"Immortal Master Chen, my sister was taken away by elders of the Immortal Sect. My dad said he's going to send me away to the Immortal Sect as well."

Qi Xiu'er prattled on.

Her innocent face bloomed like a flower and reminded Chen Fan of his disciple A'Xiu.

As soon as the three of them left the forest, they were greeted by a cavalry column. The soldiers were wearing black armor and riding tall beasts with horns on their foreheads.

"My lord, my lady."

A young man leading the black knights got off his mount and strode toward them. His steps carried formidable energy and confidence, a telltale sign of his Transcendent State power. If he lived on earth, he would have been a new rising star in the Martial Arts world. The knight's gaze landed on Xiu'er.

Qi Mufeng introduced the two, "Immortal Master Chen, he is the captain of the city's guard, Qi Dong. Qi Dong, this is Immortal Master Chen, our guest. Please treat him with the utmost respect."

"Immortal Master?"

Qi Dong looked up and found that Chen Fan was just an ordinary young man. A flicker of conceit flashed across his face, but he quickly masked it with a smile.

He then offered Chen Fan one of the horned beasts as a steed.

They rode swiftly across the landscape and Chen Fan was amazed by the endurance and speed of his mount. Qi Xiu'er was riding in the same saddle with Chen Fan and she kept on throwing questions at him.

Sensing the girl's excitement and curiosity, Chen Fan wagered that Qishan City had to be a very secluded place that rarely had any visitors. While in a good mood, Chen Fan offered the girl a few jokes for good measure, making the girl giggle uncontrollably.

Qi Dong watched their interaction quietly with a furrowed brow.

After a while, they finally reached Qishan City.

Qishan City had been built at the foothills of the Manggu Range, and took up nearly half of a large hill slope. It was big enough to allow ten thousand residents to live within its walls comfortably.

Qi Mufeng prepared a banquet in the City Lord's Hall to welcome Chen Fan. Many elders of the Qi Family and the leaders of Qishan City were invited. Chen Fan scanned the guests and none of them had reached the Ethereal Enlightenment realm.

"Divine powers form naturally once a cultivator reaches the Ethereal Enlightenment. No wonder they address people as Immortal Masters when they attain such a level," Chen Fan thought to himself.

Qi Dong raised a bronze cup and asked, "My name is Qi Dong, leader of the Black Knights. Allow me to drink in your honor. I wonder, which sect are you from and what level of attainment have you achieved?"

Qi Mufeng furrowed his brows and chided, "Manners! He's an Immortal Master."

"My lord, I don't recall ever having an Immortal Master visit our hovel in the middle of nowhere. I have to recommend caution and prudence," Qi Dong said with a smirk.

His words caught the elders of the Qi family by surprise and made them think.

The Heavenly Thunder Sect and the Azure Mystic Sect were the most powerful sects in Kunxu. Even their disciples were formidable; they would hardly deign themselves to visit small cities such as theirs.

"Are you questioning me?"

Chen Fan put down the cup and plastered on a half-smile.

He had no quarrel with Qi Dong, but the lewd gaze he directed at Qi Xiu'er was definitely a sign of what drove his animosity.

"No. I just hope our lord will be more careful. If you really are from an Exalted Sect, I will apologize to you with my utmost sincerity."

"He's right, which Exalted Sect member would visit Qishan City? Not even the elders from the Eastern River Sect would want to visit us if they didn't have to collect donations from us."

"Maybe our lord was fooled by his small tricks."

"I agree with Qi Dong."

The elders nodded in agreement, leaving Qi Mufeng between a rock and a hard place. He thought Chen Fan was an Immortal Master after seeing him summon a robe out of thin air. However, he couldn't be certain about Chen Fan's origins.

"Did he really lie to me?" Qi Mufeng wavered.

Qi Xiu'er's face flushed red and she shouted, "What do you mean Qi Dong? Immortal Master Chen said he is from an Exalted Sect, are you calling him a liar?"

"My lady, the world is a dangerous place. Let this be one of your lessons."

Qi Dong continued, "If you really are from an Exalted Sect, then please show us your sect badge. As you know, all members of Exalted Sects carry an unique badge as identification."

Everyone looked at Chen Fan.

Even Qi Xiu'er was taken aback; she looked at Chen Fan anxiously. The badges were symbols of the sects' integrity and honor. No one would dare to forge something that carried so much meaning for the powerful sects.

Chen Fan toyed with the wine cup and remained silent.

"See? He doesn't have it." Qi Dong stepped forward as energy inside of him flared. One of his hands touched the hilt of the blade strapped to his waist and said, "You have lied to our Lord. Please leave the city or else..."

His aggressive energy hung in the air; it was enough to strike fear into any mortal's heart.

Chen Fan looked up.

"Who are you to question me?"

"You!" Qi Dong shouted as he pulled out his sword.

Chen Fan flicked a finger and hissed, "Get out of my face."

A jet of invisible force came out from the tip of his finger and rammed into Qi Dong; his body was sent flying through walls and disappeared in the courtyard.

A deadly silence fell over the hall...

No one dared to speak a word as they gaped at Chen Fan in disbelief. Qi Dong was the strongest fighter in Qishan City, having reached the Transcendent State. Not even the sect master of the Eastern River Sect could have defeated him so easily.

"Immortal Master, he really is an Immortal Master!"

The turn of events elated everyone.

Qi Mufeng raised his wine up and apologized to Chen Fan while Qi Xiu'er fixed her infatuated gaze on Chen Fan like a silly fan girl.

Many elders also rose to drink in Chen Fan's name. Everyone seemed to have already forgotten about Qi Dong.

After the banquet, Chen Fan decided to stay in Qishan City for a while. He could recuperate while gathering herbs to create a Treasure Medicine.

On the third day, Qi Mufeng went to look for Chen Fan with a sour face.

"Immortal Master Chen, the elders of the Eastern River Sect have arrived."

Chapter 729 Kneel and I"ll Spare You!

Previous Index Next Add Bookmarks

The Eastern River Sect.

The power leading the seventeen cities within five hundred miles which represented millions of people. Although they weren't quite famous in the Realm of Kunxu and were only a bit more powerful than the Black Water Sect, they were an Immortal Sect after all. The Lord of a city had to be respectful even to their disciples.

The three masters of the Eastern River Sect arrived on their cranes.

The giant white cranes were six meters long. Their feathers were hard like steel and their sharp claws were shiny. The three of them arrived at the mansion and the elders of the Qi Family immediately went out to greet them.

The leader yelled, "Ask Qi Mufeng and the guy who's pretending to be the disciple of an Exalted Sect to come out."

He was around fifty years old and was wearing a black robe with a white crane pattern, which was the logo of the Eastern River Sect. He had the energy of a Sage and there were glitters flashing in his eyes. He was apparently an Ethereal Enlightenment Master, which was the same as a Martial Arts Grandmaster on Earth.

While an elder was about to explain, "The Lord is on his way..."

Qi Mufeng came and said with a smile, "Why didn't you tell me you're coming? We've already made our contribution a while ago. Do we have to make another donation again?"

The young man on the left shouted, "Qi Mufeng, your Captain reported that someone's pretending to be an Immortal Master of an Exalted Sect here. Quickly hand him over!"

Then, Qi Mufeng realized that Qi Dong was also on the crane but was hiding in the back and was startled by this. He said, "Qi Dong, what have you done?"

"I just don't want my Lord to be fooled by bad people," Qi Dong said.

"You!" Qi Mufeng was enraged. When he was about to speak, a cold voice came.

"Are you talking about me? Looks like you haven't learned your lesson!"

Everyone turned around and saw Chen Fan and Qi Xiu'er. After putting on clothes of the Realm of Kunxu, Chen Fan immediately painted the picture of an elegant young man. He was wearing an azure robe and his hair was tied up with a golden ring. He looked as handsome as a noble.

"Are you the one who is pretending to be the disciple of an Exalted Sect?"

The three masters of the Eastern River Sect looked over with disdain in their eyes.

Chen Fan hid his energy; he only looked like an ordinary mortal to outsiders. He didn't look like an Immortal Master who had many Divine Powers.

The master on the right shook his head and said, "Looking good, but you're only a mortal."

The master on the left said with a grunt, "Pretending to be an Immortal Master of an Exalted Sect and fooling the Lord of the city. You must be executed."

The leader said firmly, "Come here. Kneel down and prepare to die!"

The words of the three masters brought silence to the entire mansion.

The elders of the Qi Family dared not say anything. The Eastern River Sect had been dominating the Manggu Range for more than four centuries and generations of the Qi Family lived under the Eastern River Sect. Who would have the guts to resist them? They had the power to control the lives and deaths of their people.

Qi Dong looked at Chen Fan with a thrill reflected in his eyes.

"Immortal Master Chen indeed has Dharmic Powers and Divine Powers. He might not have attained them while under an Exalted Sect, but there must be an origin..." Qi Mufeng tried to explain and the young man on the left waved his hand, letting out an invisible energy.

"It's none of your business."

Bang!

Even though Qi Mufeng was an Internal Force Master, an Ethereal Enlightenment Cultivator was no match to the Martial Arts Grandmasters. The energy swiftly moved eight feet and struck his body. Qi Mufeng spurted out blood and was knocked out six meters backwards, falling on the ground with a pale face.

"My Lord!"

"Grandpa!"

All the members of the Qi Family yelled.

Tears were running on Qi Xiu'er's face. She went forward to help Qi Mufeng, then she said with a furious look, "My father only said something and you went and did this to him. Is the Eastern River Sect so rude?"

"Right, does the Eastern River Sect think Qishan City is empty?"

Some young members of the Qi Family pulled out their swords and gazed at the three masters.

"How dare you! If you keep being so disrespectful, we'll exterminate the Qi Family and ask someone else to lord over Qishan City," the leader said.

Members of the Qi Family were frightened.

They finally remembered how cruel the Eastern River Sect was. Ten years in the past, the Li Family in Autumn Cold City had a quarrel with an elder of the Eastern River Sect and that elder simply exterminated the entire family because of a so called disrespect.

A few elders of the Qi Family looked at Qi Dong and were stunned.

The Eastern River Sect only wanted to change to a more obedient Lord as they weren't satisfied with Qi Mufeng! Chen Fan was only an excuse. They would have still gone there eventually, regardless of Chen Fan's visit.

An elder sighed and said, "I should have told my Lord to respect the masters who come to collect donations and give them more money and Spirit Stones. He thought that he'd be fine being obedient, but now, someone's here to settle the scores."

Qi Xiu'er's heart fell, once she saw the actions of the Eastern River Sect's superior masters, and especially, the reactions of the Qi Family members who dared not to say a word and the complacent Qi Dong.

She finally realized that her father was nothing to the disciples of the sect.

"What should we do? What should we do?"

Qi Xiu'er was devastated and she glanced at Chen Fan as if she was looking at her last hope.

Chen Fan stepped forward calmly.

Even if Qi Xiu'er didn't ask him for help, Chen Fan would step up, considering their hospitality and what the masters of the Eastern River Sect said.

"Looks like these people think that I'm a pushover because I was injured. It's time to kill someone and suppress the Realm of Kunxu."

Chen Fan approached the masters with hands behind his back.

"Why? You're begging us now? It's too late! If you kneel down and kowtow to the masters, they might spare your life," Qi Dong sneered and said.

"I wonder, who gave you the guts to act this way?"

Chen Fan heaved a sigh.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed slightly. An energy was manifested which dragged Qi Dong towards his hand. Chen Fan made a gripping motion.

"Bang!"

The commander of Qishan City's guards was crushed into a blood mist and his Divine Soul was also destroyed without being able to say a word.

"Stth!"

Everyone went silent.

The masters of the Eastern River Sect became serious and they looked at Chen Fan in shock.

Everyone knew how powerful Qi Dong was. Even the strongest among the three of them would struggle to kill him. And yet, Chen Fan killed Qi Dong as easy as slaughtering a chicken, which completely terrified the others.

The elder who led the three of them frowned and said, "You've gone too far, friend. Qi Dong was one of my men."

They immediately called Chen Fan their friend after seeing how powerful he was, but Chen Fan didn't care about them. He looked up to the sky with hands behind his back without looking at the three masters.

"Kneel and apologize to Lord Qi and Xiu'er, then I'll spare you!"

"How dare you!" the Taoist on the left yelled.

The other two were also enraged. Their leader then said, "You're indeed powerful, but don't you think that you can run wild in the territory of the Eastern River Sect after killing Qi Dong. The Eastern River Sect has an Earth Level Deity, six Immortal State Warriors and many disciples. You can't fight with Sages no matter how strong you are."

The members of the Qi Family, including Qi Mufeng and Qi Xiu'er, were startled.

An Earth Level Deity!

This was a being that sat on top of the people of the Realm of Kunxu. The large sects could rule Kunxu because they had Earth Level Deities.

Otherwise, there would be hundreds of Internal Force Masters in Qishan City who could crush the three masters of the Eastern River Sect. Even Immortal State Warriors would be unable to defeat a hundred thousand soldiers. After all, people in the Realm of Kunxu had basically practiced Internal Force and their level was much higher when compared to people on Earth. Only Earth Level Deities could ignore everything and smash everything. They could kill everyone no matter how many enemies there were.

Chen Fan widened his eyes and shouted, "Kneel down!"

A fierce energy immediately surged out of his body.

The Eastern River Sect representatives felt like there was a mountain above them; the three white cranes screamed and fell on the ground. The three masters wanted to fight back, but they all knelt on the ground in less than a second.

"An Immortal State Warrior! You're an Immortal State Warrior!"

Their leader was shocked.

A Transcendent State Cultivator was an Immortal Master! An Immortal State Warrior was also a heavy hitter in the Realm of Kunxu. The Eastern River Sect only had a few elders who had achieved the Immortal State.

Chen Fan was so young, and yet he had the power of an Immortal State Warrior. Only disciples from the large sects could be so talented.

"Is he truly a disciple of an Exalted Sect?" They wondered.

After that, the three masters of the Eastern River Sect apologized to Qi Mufeng respectfully in front of the members of the Qi Family.

Their leader even gave Qi Xiu'er a bottle of Spirit Pills and asked her to forgive them.

The eyes of Qi Xiu'er popped out.

The masters of the Eastern River Sect were like Sages and they would slaughter people in the mortal world. They had never been so respectful. Nobody could avoid the urge to look at Chen Fan.

Only him could make the three masters of the Eastern River Sect act so respectfully!

"This is truly the power of an Immortal Master of an Exalted Sect. We're indeed lucky." Qi Mufeng burst into laughter while Qi Xiu'er was in awe.

Then, the three masters approached Chen Fan with a beaming smile.

"We've already apologized. We can leave now, right?"

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes. "I'm only sparing you from death. Did I say that I'll let you go?"

"Huh?"

The three of them were dumbfounded.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 730 Chen Beixuan, Who Are You

According to Chen Fan's plans...

There were only three things he had to do in the Realm of Kunxu.

To save Lu Yanxue, find the Path of Heaven and kill warriors in Kunxu until they stopped despising the Earth! He had to recover and further cultivate to do all these things.

The storm in the space passage was too terrifying. Even after two weeks, Chen Fan was only halfway through his recovery. It would take at least three months for him to heal completely, so he desperately needed enough Spirit Medicines to create a peerless medicine.

"Heavenly Essence Herb? Nine Phoenix Dragon Fruit? Ice Lotus? These are all Treasure Medicines or Quai-Spirit Medicines and there are only a few in the entire Realm of Kunxu. Other than the ones kept in the Exalted Sects or found in the forbidden lands, we've never seen or heard of any of them."

After Chen Fan talked about the Spirit Medicines, the three masters of the Eastern River Sect turned pale.

"If you know nothing, then what's the use of you three?"

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes viciously.

"Wait, Immortal Master Chen, I've heard of the Ice Lotus. It's planted deep in the Snow God Palace and it blooms every five centuries. It's a Treasure Medicine of the Snow God Palace and can kill a person," the leader said quickly.

He was called Qing He, the senior of this generation of the Eastern River Sect. The two guys next to him were his juniors, Qing Yuan and Qing Feng.

After hearing Qing He's description, Chen Fan frowned. Not withering for thousands of years, letting out an aurora when it bloomed, turning people nearby into ice. It indeed sounded like the Ice Lotus.

"Looks like I have to go to the mountain behind the Snow God Palace."

Chen Fan rubbed his chin.

The three masters of the East River Sect had no idea Chen Fan would be interested in the treasures of Snow God Palace. That was an Exalted Sect, one of the seven large sects in Kunxu; there was a supreme figure guarding the palace.

After that, Chen Fan cast a curse on the three of them and allowed them to leave. When they were out of Qishan City, Qing Feng said furiously, "I will take revenge. Those bastards of the Qi Family dared to point their swords at us. They should go to Hell!"

"We must discuss this and report to Master. We have to tell him that there's an Immortal State Master who seems to be a disciple of an Exalted Sect," Qing He said with a hint of hatred in his eyes.

After the three of them left, the members of the Qi Family suddenly became worried.

"Immortal Master Chen, they're the masters of the Eastern River Sect. You're an Immortal Master of an Exalted Sect so you certainly have nothing to fear, but Qishan City can't bear the consequences," Qi Mufeng said with a wry smile.

"Father, why are you worried about them? We have Immortal Master Chen and Sister is a disciple of the Mixed-Essence Sect. When she comes back, she'll exterminate the Eastern River Sect," Qi Mufeng said.

Chen Fan raised his eyebrows. He had heard about Qi Xiu'er's sister many times. She was extraordinary and had been under an Immortal Master from an Exalted Sect for decades. She had already reached the peak stage of the Transcendent State on her last visit, so it was very likely that she had attained an even higher level by then. Besides, she was beautiful and even the elders of the Eastern River Sect had their eyes on her.

"Your sister is too far away after all."

Qi Mufeng shook his head and sighed.

And yet, he started to become respectful to Chen Fan and did everything to help him find any of the Spirit Medicines he needed.

Until one day, Chen Fan stopped him and asked him what he wanted. Qi Mufeng then hesitated and said, "Our daughter, Xiu'er, has always been naughty, ever since she was small. If she can be your disciple, the Qi Family will do everything it can to serve you."

Chen Fan smiled and glanced at Qi Xiu'er.

She put her hands behind her back and turned her face to the side, pretending like she wasn't listening. She was apparently nervous.

"Well..."

While Chen Fan was about to speak, a voice came from outside.

"Father, I'll take Xiu'er to the Mixed-Essence Sect. No need to give others trouble."

Then, a woman entered. Once she came in, the room became brighter; she looked gorgeous in her white gown.

"Qingwei, you're back."

Qi Mufeng forced a smile.

Even Qi Xiu'er also greeted the woman, "Sister."

"I heard that we have a guest here, so I took the chance to stop by and take Xiu'er with me," Qi Qingwei said as she glanced at Chen Fan, "Which sect are you from? I know all the core disciples of the seven Exalted Sects, including Yuntian Palace, the Azure Mystic Sect, Mount Thunder, Snow God Palace, the Mixed-Essence Sect and the Dashi Sect. Someone young and successful like you should be familiar to me. Why haven't I met you before?"

"I usually shut myself in to practice. It's normal you haven't met me," Chen Fan replied.

"Is that so?"

Qi Qingwei didn't believe it.

Chen Fan had already noticed her presence, right when she entered the city. What shocked him was that Qi Qingwei was only a few years older than him but she had already reached the peak stage of the Immortal State, similar to the young master of the Azure Mystic Sect and Qian Yexue.

"This must be the future heir of the Mixed-Essence Sect," Chen Fan thought.

As expected, two disciples of the Mixed-Essence Sect came in and said respectfully, "Senior, we've warned the Eastern River Sect and their Sect Master promised us that they will never disturb us again. He has also punished the three masters who came last time."

"Sister, have you become a senior of the Mixed-Essence Sect?" Qi Xiu'er asked.

Even Qi Mufeng looked up in shock.

"Three years ago, she defeated all the seniors in the sect, in a battle and went all the way to the top. When she becomes a Sage, she'll be the next Sect Master," one of the disciples said with pride.

Sthh!

Everyone in the room gasped.

The Mixed-Essence Sect was one of the seven large sects in the Realm of Kunxu and was on an equal footing with the Azure Mystic Sect and Yuntian Palace. It had thousands of years of history and Ye Qincang even got the cultivation art of the Mixed-Essence Sect from the Deity Burial Valley.

Qi Mufeng was the Mixed-Essence Sect's top disciple of this generation, and she would be in charge of the sect in the future. How talented was she?

"There's finally glory for the Qi Family!" Qi Mufeng was so excited that his hands were trembling. The elders were also crying emotionally.

Those who looked down on Qi Mufeng lowered their heads.

"Even though the Eastern River Sect has an Earth Level Deity, he is already four hundred years old so he doesn't have much time left. They won't offend the Qi Family anymore as they want their sect to survive. Don't worry," Qi Qingwei said calmly without looking at Chen Fan. Instead, she turned around and told Qi Xiu'er, "Xiu'er, go pack you things and come with me.

"I'm going to the Gathering of Lantai on September 9th. By then, all the elites of the large sects in the entire Kunxu will gather at the Fury Dragon River to battle for the leader's position. You should come with me and meet the real heavy hitters of the Realm of Kunxu."

"Huh? The Gathering of Lantai is about to start?" Qi Xiu'er's eyes brightened and she glanced at Chen Fan. "But I really want to learn from Immortal Master Chen. He's really powerful and he knows a lot of Dharma Spells..."

"Hm?"

Qi Qingwei narrowed her eyes. Qi Xiu'er was so terrified she almost cried.

"You should come with me and have a look," Qi Qingwei said to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan chuckled and was about to reject the offer. How would the North Mystic Celestial Lord listen to the orders of such a woman?

However, Qi Xiu'er ran over and pulled Chen Fan's sleeve. Looking at her face, Chen Fan patted her head and said, "Alright, I'll go with you."

"Brother Chen is the best."

Qi Xiu'er gave a beaming smile.

Qi Qingwei frowned but refrained from saying more.

Since they didn't have much time, they set off right after they packed their things. Chen Fan had the Blade Strengthening Gourd so he put everything inside, but Qi Xiu'er was different. She was going to the Mixed-Essence Sect to learn and Qi Mufeng packed seven bags for her.

Luckily, Qi Qingwei had brought an Immortal State Beast.

The giant beast had scales all over its body and its four feet were as thick as posts. It was dozens of meters long like a moving mountain, and every step it took shook the world. Rumor had it that it was an ancient beast called the "Earthquake Beast." It carried a house on its back like a moving palace and it could clearly display Qi Qingwei's status in the Mixed-Essence Sect.

They stopped from time to time along their journey.

All the lords of the cities they went past greeted them respectfully, and the sects also sent people to meet them. Their trip was extremely smooth which showed the power of an Exalted Sect.

Chen Fan also took the opportunity to buy some Spirit Medicines.

There was abundant Spirit Qi in the Realm of Kunxu and there was a wider variety of Spirit Medicines than on Earth. If he wanted to make a peerless medicine to breakthrough, he needed all sorts of medicines. Qi Qingwei only observed him in silence.

The two disciples of the Mixed-Essence Sect laughed at the back.

"Not everyone can brew elixirs, and there's no use buying so many Spirit Medicines. It's not that his chances to succeed would improve if he adds more types of Spirit Medicines."

Chen Fan ignored them. The disciples of Kunxu wouldn't understand the Elixir Brewing Arts of the Sages. They would be terrified if they knew those were only half of the Spirit Medicines, and that the main ones were made with the angel of the Light Race.

Only Qi Xiu'er tagged along everyday to help him. She was looking forward to seeing Chen Fan succeed in making the medicines.

One day, two days, three days... His injuries gradually healed and almost all the medicines were gathered.

Roughly ten days later, they were quite close to Lantai Mountain. While everyone was resting, Chen Fan sat somewhere as usual and a shadow suddenly moved close to him.

"Chen Beixuan, who are you?"

Qi Qingwei's beautiful face appeared in the dark.

She was cold and fierce!

Chapter 731 Gathering of Lantai

"Would you believe me if I told you I used to be a Heavenly Being who could dominate an entire planet with ease?"

Chen Fan opened his eyes with a half smile on his face.

Chen Fan had registered a cold glare trained on him everytime he was with Qi Qingwei. He didn't bother to question her since she had not attacked him yet.

By then, Chen Fan felt that most of his wounds had healed and he was on the verge of a full recovery.

"You claimed to be a Cultivator from an Exalted Sect, but none of the disciples in the seven major Exalted Sects is named Chen Beixuan. I had people search in all their listings. I bet that you are either from a cultivation family or a secluded sect. Either way, you better stay far away from my sister."

Qi Qingwei's questioning gaze was as cold as ice.

"You think too much," Chen Fan replied.

"I am the Senior Apprentice-Sister of the Mixed-Essence Sect and the future Sect Master. If you marry my sister, you would become my in-law. Xiu'er is still a babe in the woods, so I need to look out for her. You weren't planning to accept her as your disciple only because of her talent, were you?"

Qi Qingwei smirked.

Qi Xiu'er was a lovely goofball, but she was far less talented in terms of cultivation compared to her elder sister. It would even be impossible for her to reach the Ethereal Enlightenment realm, let alone the Divine Sea.

"Haha, Qi Qingwei, you think too highly of yourself," Chen Beixuan laughed and continued, "I have travelled in many worlds, and never once did I rely on a woman for survival. Plus, do you really think that you're that much better than your younger sister?"

Qi Qingwei grew quiet, but her eyes were filled with indignation.

She had made a name for herself after reaching the peak of the Divine Sea in her twenties. In the Realm of Kunxu, only Qian Yexue or the Young Master of the Azure Mystic Sect could rival her talent. There was no doubt that she was going to reach the Earth Level Deity realm—a feat that only one in ten million people could achieve. Qian Yexue simply couldn't compare.

Chen Fan asked abruptly, "What if I told you that Qi Xiu'er's talent is at least a hundred times greater than yours? She has the potential to surpass the Earth Level Deity realm and become a Sky Immortal in the future."

Being the North Mystic Celestial Lord, Chen Beixuan would not fall for a random girl so easily. He had decided to take Qi Xiu'er in only because he noticed the presence of the Divine Meridian in her body.

"Haha."

Qi Qingwei snickered; she turned her head back and began to walk away. "There will be many powerful cultivators at the Gathering of Lantai. Be mindful of what you say. If you piss off some big wig, no one will be able to save your hide, not even me..."

Chen Fan closed his eyes once Qi Qingwei was finally out of sight.

"Qi Qingwei, you have been living under a rock. You would never be able to grasp the full extent of my power."

Qi Qingwei left Chen Fan alone after that conversation.

Chen Fan didn't mind the arrogance of the Mixed-Essence Sect's disciples; he actually enjoyed the quietness without them. On the other hand, Qi Xiu'er approached Chen Fan almost everyday, asking information about the outside world. Chen Fan entertained her with wild stories about Earth and the Universe.

Qi Xiu'er supported her curious head with palms and asked, "Are there really mighty Immortal cultivators out there in space? How would they compare against the Earth Level Deity from the Azure Mystic Sect?"

"A Perfected Immortal can defeat a billion Azure Mystic Sect cultivators with only one finger. A drop of blood from a Perfected Immortal is enough to annihilate an entire planet," Chen Fan said calmly.

"What a load of nonsense." The two Mixed-Essence Sect disciples who happened to pass by snorted.

A young man in a white outfit snickered and said, "The Azure Mystic Sect Master is the most powerful Earth Level Deity in the Realm of Kunxu. He was believed to be undefeatable three hundred years ago. Other than the Cloud Heaven Thearch in the Yuntian Palace, no one can rival his power. Not even a sky immortal is able to fend off a billion Azure Mystic Sect Masters, much less anyone else."

"Chen Beixuan, you can only fool a little girl, but as long as Senior Apprentice-Sister Qinwei is around, you will never be able to marry Xiu'er." The other disciple shook his head.

Qi Xiu'er's face flushed red as she waved her fist at them.

"Don't mind them. They are living under a rock," Chen Fan said.

After the two disciples were gone, Qi Xiu'er asked disheartenedly, "Immortal Master Chen, they say that I only have a Crude Spirit Root and the best thing for me is to marry an elite disciple from our sect. But I want to be like my sister, I want to be strong and powerful. I don't think I will ever be like that though."

In the Realm of Kunxu, a person's Spirit Root quality was the deciding factor for selecting talent.

A Crude Spirit Root was of the lowest quality, which could then be graded as Inferior, Medium, Superior and ultimately the Supreme grade.

A Crude Spirit Root was at the bottom, and people with Crude Spirit Roots would never be able to reach the Ethereal Enlightenment realm. Only those who had Supreme-grade Spirit Roots could reach the Earth Level Deity realm. Cultivators such as the Young Master of the Azure Mystic Sect or Tian Mingzi possessed the best quality Spirit Roots.

The girl already knew that her inborn talent was lacking, but she had kept that sore spot hidden until then.

"Silly girl, you don't have a Crude Spirit Root, you have the Red Sparrow's Divine Meridian. You are destined to reach the nine heavens to compete against the most powerful beings in this universe. Those idiots have no idea what they are talking about."

Chen Fan burst into laughter.

Chen Fan scanned the girl's system with his Li Fire Golden Eyes and found a Red Flame in the shape of a bird deep inside her soul energy. The bird flapped its fiery wings and was ready to reveal itself.

"A Red Sparrow's Divine Meridian?" Qi Xiu'er murmured to herself.

Chen Fan explained calmly, "There are countless variations when it comes to Divine Meridians in the vast universe, but the Red Sparrow's Divine Meridian is not just any Divine Meridian. The Red Sparrow is the Lord of Fire, a Divine Beast; therefore, the Red Sparrow's Divine Meridian is among the most potent Divine Meridians. Those who possess it can easily reach the Soul Formation realm, if not the Void Returning level. You might even become an Immortal if you try hard enough."

A Divine Meridian was in essence similar to a Divine Body, but unlike Divine Bodies, Divine Meridians were given at birth and couldn't be obtained through cultivation. The Kun Peng Form Chen Fan had used was one kind of a Divine Meridian. In fact, it was one of the most powerful Divine Meridians.

"Really?"

Qi Xiu'er was shocked, but hope and glee slowly lit up in her eyes.

From that day onward, Qi Xiu'er became much quieter. Instead of asking Chen Fan useless questions, she listened to Chen Fan's teachings carefully and started cultivating in earnest.

As time flew by quickly, the gathering of Lantai was about to begin.

Lantai Mountain was located near the shores of the Fury Dragon River. It was shaped like a broad leaf pointing upwards. An arena had been built at the top of the tallest mountain where young cultivators would gather to compete. The winner of the competition would become the next ruler of Kunxu.

"There should have been many more powerful contestants this year. Cultivators such as the beautiful Qian Yexue from the Snow God Palace, Tian Mingzi who perfected the Wind Thunder Dao Body and the Young Master of the Azure Mystic Sect who possesses the Dao Body of Nascent Divinity—all of them were strong candidates to win the competition. However, they went missing after they entered the mortal world," someone exclaimed.

"It doesn't matter, the Realm of Kunxu is full of amazing talents," someone else said.

"Li Wenchan from Leiyin Mountain developed the Diamond Body as a teenager. He was only half-step away from achieving the same level of attainment as the Elephant God Master. Bai Suxian from the Snow God Palace was once defeated by Qian Yexue, but she's a powerful contender nonetheless. Qi Qingwei from the Mixed-Essence Sect is also a force to be reckoned with. Her Mixed-Essence Infinity Force is quite something.

"Not to mention the many inner disciples from the Azure Mystic Sect, the Dashi Sect, Fentian Valley, and the Heavenly Thunder Sect. Oh, and you-know-who from the Yuntian Palace."

The mentioning of the Yuntian Palace made everyone quiet down.

The Thearch's Son

The son of the Cloud Heaven Thearch was said to possess Divine Powers the moment he was born, granting him the unthinkable ability to control the passage of time using his eyes. He had since dominated the Realm of Kunxu and was feared even by the Young Master of the Azure Mystic Sect.

"The realm of Kunxu is full of talents. I can't wait to see all of them become Heavenly Beings and bring all the other worlds to their knees!" an elder exclaimed.

Qi Xiu'er heard the old man's words and she was seized by embarrassment. She hunched her back a little and moved closer to Chen Fan. Her action didn't sit well with her elder sister as a cold light came up in Qi Qingwei's eyes.

The Gathering of Lantai would take place at the Lantai Mountain.

Only a small handful cultivators were qualified to fight in the arena; most other cultivators could only wait at the bottom of the hill. As time went by, more and more cultivators gathered at the foothill.

The Gathering of Lantai happened every twenty years and was one of the biggest events in Kunxu.

Many Earth Level Deities would attend to watch the competition, and to spot talented young men and women who could be potential proteges. This was the time for the young generation to shine.

Qi Qingwei looked into the distant river and said, "A thousand year old white water dragon dwells inside the Fury Dragon River. He comes out of hiding every twenty years to harness the moon's energy. The person able to capture the beast and make use of its energy can shave off ten years' worth of hard work.

"However, over the last hundred years, only the Azure Mystic Sect Master and the Changhe Sword Immortal have been able to pull it off. "

Her words gave the people around her a sense of admiration toward those senior cultivators.

Qi Xiu'er looked up at Chen Fan and exclaimed, "Immortal Master Chen, I want to be like Changhe Sword Immortal and force the old dragon to give up his energy. That would be so awesome!"

"A thousand year old white water dragon is a very precious thing. If I could take its Inner Essence so I can mix it with the Divine Child, I might be able to create an even more powerful Grand Pill."

Chen Fan gazed at the river and was lost in thought for a moment. Suddenly, he remembered Qi Xiu'er.

"Changhe Sword Immortal is weak. I can beat him with just one hand. Don't be like him."

Chen Fan's words attracted many glares from people around him.

A scornful voice shot up, "Changhe Sword Immortal is the most powerful cultivator from the Azure Mystic Sect. He subjugated the white water dragon by severing the flow of the river. Who the heck are you to question his ability?"

Chen Fan furrowed his brow and looked at the speaker.

He saw five people, three men and two women walking toward him.

The leader was a man in a dark robe that was covered with a thunder motif. Lightning energy flashed in his eyes, bringing out the coldness in his smirk.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 732 The Gathering Of Talents

"That's Wu Tengshan from the Heavenly Thunder Sect. He's the heir of the Grand Elder from the Heavenly Thunder Sect and is only next to Tian Mingzi in terms of power. But I've also heard that he's a savage brute." Information along those lines was shared amongst the crowd.

As a major sect in Kunxu, the Heavenly Thunder Sect never lacked for outstanding young cultivators. Tian Mingzi would compete; he was closely followed by many of his peers.

Wu Tengshan wore an ugly grin on his face as he sauntered toward Chen Fan. Aggressive lightning energy zapped out from his eyes; it was apparent that he had reached the Divine Sea level. If he were on Earth, he would have ranked among the top five on the Divine Roll.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and asked, "I beat them up, do you also want to give it a try?"

Everyone was floored by the development. Wu Tengshan was a powerful young cultivator with a bloodthirsty reputation. It was unwise for Chen Fan to publicly provoke him.

"Who is this young man?"

"I've never seen him before. Could he be some Curmudgeon in disguise?"

The onlookers murmured to each other.

"How dare you!"

Anger flashed in Wu Tengshan's eyes as he took a step forward. Even as Wu Tengshan was about to strike, Qi Xiu'er looked to Qi Qingwei for help. Qi Xiu'er was from Kunxu, and she knew how deadly Wu Tengshan was.

Qi Qingwei furrowed her brow and broke her silence, "Wu Tengshan, he is a guest of the Mixed-Essence Sect. If you two need to settle things, I suggest you wait until we leave."

Wu Tengshan paused and examined Chen Fan with a scornful look.

"Very well. I will let it slide for now. We will talk after the competition is over. Somebody is in for a lot of suffering."

After saying that, Wu Tengshan snickered loudly and walked away.

Qi Qingwei gave Chen Fan a cold glare. "This is the last time I help you for Xiu'er's sake. Know your place. Any of these warriors can squash you like a little worm."

Qi Qingwei pulled a taut face and left; the two disciples of the Mixed-Essence Sect trailed behind her. Both were openly gloating.

Chen Fan and Qi Xiu'er were left alone.

By then, almost everyone knew that Chen Fan had a run in with Wu Tengshan, so no one dared to approach them.

Qi Xiu'er was evidently troubled.

"Immortal Master Chen, I've heard that Wu Tengshan has done many terrible things. He tortured a Heavenly Thunder Sect Disciple for three days before he eventually killed him. He is so bloodthirsty that he lost the leader's position in his own sect to Tian Mingzi."

"Maybe we should ask my sister to warn him to stay away. My sister is the Senior Apprentice-Sister in the Mixed-Essence Sect, he might listen to her."

Chen Fan padded Qi Xiu'er's head and said, "Don't worry, I've already defeated Sword Immortal Changhe; Wu Tengshan is the least of my worries. If he really pisses me off, I will wipe out the entire Heavenly Thunder Sect."

Qi Xiu'er giggled and said, "You are shameless. Even I know you're lying. You can't even defeat my sister."

"I don't like to fight against girls."

Chen Fan lied.

Although the run-in ended without any bloodshed, many people noticed that someone from the Mixed-Essence Sect had dared to provoke Wu Tengshan. Chen Fan had stayed at the Mixed-Essence Sect's camp and it was hard for him to ignore the gloating or curious glares from its members.

All the while Qi Xiu'er had been trying to find a solution to ease the tension.

However, Chen Fan didn't seem to mind the threat at all.

He knew that once he made a full recovery, he would be able to kill Wu Tengshan with ease. There was nothing to be worried about.

"Swish."

As the opening day of the gathering of Lantai drew near, more and more talented young cultivators arrived from all over Kunxu. Some of them were friendly, some were cold and distant and some were extremely attractive.

"She is the Princess of the Southern Kingdom, one of the ten beauties of Kunxu. Her father is the Lord of thirty six settlements in the South and wields more power than an elder of the major sects."

"Is that bald monk in a white outfit Li Wenchan from the Leiyin Mountain? He looks almost feminine. I can't believe he reached phenomenal success in the Diamond Body."

"Zi Tianyu from the Fentian Valley is also here. He is Zi Xingkong's brother, the oldest heir of the Zi family."

The Princess of the Southern Kingdom was breathtakingly beautiful. She decorated her long hair with elegant jade hair pieces and covered her body with a revealing dress.

She wrapped a white airy fabric around her chest, barely covering her belly. She had legs for days, and each thin ankle was decorated with two jade bands that clinked against each other as she ambled across the field. She was flanked by a dozen royal guards with imposing stature.

Meanwhile, Li Wenchan was wearing a plain white monk's robe, but his simple outfit couldn't hide his sublime appearance. Many girls ogled at him as they drooled.

Zi Tianyu stood at the bow of a fire ship that flew across the sky. His hair was on fire and so were his eyes. His solemn expression revealed very little of his thoughts.

"The Princess of the Southern Kingdom is well known for her beauty. Her father is an overlord at the mid-stage of the Earth Level Deity realm. She is as powerful as Wu Tengshan.

"The Zi family of the Fentian Valley is the most influential family in Kunxu. As the leader of the family, Zi Tianyu commands as much prestige as a leader of a major sect. As for Li Wenchan, he is one tough nut to crack, literally. I don't think I can penetrate his defense."

Qi Qingwei offered remarks about all the newly arrived cultivators.

"Sister, you are the best, I am sure you can beat their a*es and become the winner." Qi Xiu'er pumped her fist in the air.

"Winner?"

Qi Qingwei shook her head. "No one else can win if he competes."

Everyone knew whom Qi Qingwei was talking about.

The son of the Cloud Heaven Thearch.

All the warriors of his generation looked up to him as an example. Rumor had it that no one could force him to use more than eighty percent of his strength. The Young Master of the Azure Mystic Sect had crossed swords with him three times, but he had confessed to everyone that the Thearch's Son always had an upper hand during the three fights.

"Come on, Sister. You are the Senior Apprentice-Sister of the Mixed-Essence Sect. You are no less powerful than him," Qi Xiu'er urged.

"Xiu'er, you have never seen Thearch's Son in action, so you can't imagine how dangerous he is." Qi Qingwei looked into the distance wistfully. "Three years ago, the Thearch's Son was already at the Mortal Deity level, only a half-step away from the Earth Level Deity realm. Three years have passed, only God knows how powerful he is now."

A mix of respect and admiration shined in Qi Qingwei's eyes.

The revelation also shocked everyone around her, including Qi Xiu'er. Qi Xiu'er found it hard to believe that her competitive sister would accept publicly that she was weaker than someone.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan lolled in a chair and was lost in his own thoughts.

"Idiot."

Qi Qingwei glared at Chen Fan. She compared Chen Fan with the Thearch's Son in her mind and the result only deepened her dislike for Chen Fan. Compared to the ambitious Thearch's Son, Chen Fan was a couch potato.

"I can't let him have Xiu'er," Qi Qingwei reminded herself.

After Li Wenchan, the Princess of the Southern Kingdom and Zi Tianyu's arrivals, more outstanding young cultivators showed up.

Daoist Chang Song, the most powerful sword master from the Azure Mystic Sect; Yun Feng, the second heir to the Yuntian Palace; Zhang Yulong, the head disciple of the Dashi Sect.

The crowd boiled over when the members of the Snow God Palace showed up.

"Swish!"

A giant white crane appeared in the northern sky. Riding on its back were a group of girls all in white outfits. They all carried an icy charm about them, making them look like goddesses descending from heaven.

"Humph! Bai Suxian." The Princess of the Southern Kingdom snorted in jealousy.

She was the focus of everyone's attention until Bai Suxian showed up. Many powerful heirs and cultivators had shadowed her around, eager to win her favor. But then they all flocked away to see Bai Suxian.

"Legend has it that the art from the Snow God Palace can give women an otherworldly beauty. It appears that the legend is true. They say that Qian Yexue is the most attractive in the Snow God Palace, but after seeing Bai Suxian with my own eyes, I can't imagine anyone who could be even more attractive. It's a shame that I will never find out since Qian Yexue fell in the Mortal's world," Zi Tianyu exclaimed.

"Hehe, I heard a secret just yesterday. Qian Yexue's Spirit Tablet is still intact," the Princess of the Southern Kingdom said with a smirk.

"What?"

Everyone was stunned by the revelation.

All the cultivators who went to the Mortal world had died, except for Qian Yexue. How was Qian Yexue still alive while even the five Earth Level Deities, including Sect master Lei, had fallen?

Did she desert during the battle?

Did she betray her own kind?

Or was she captured?

So many possibilities but none of them would do any good to Qian Yexue's image. Some perverts had already started to fantasize the torture mortals would inflict on such a pretty thing.

"What a shame," Zi Tianyu lamented.

Unknown to Chen Fan, many people around him were convinced that Qian Yexue had succumbed to a pervert. He sat calmly inside the camp as a powerful energy rose and fell, each wave more intense than the one before. His body was suffused with a glow that turned more brilliant by the second. He was on the verge of leveling up.

After a while, the roiling energy finally subsided.

Chen Fan opened his eyes, flashing lightning through his eyelids.

He was only a half-step away from his former Connate Spirit state.

"I'll be fully recovered in less than six days. By then, I will kill the white water dragon and create the Grand Pills. The Realm of Kunxu will then have a taste of my might," Chen Fan said coldly.

Suddenly, a loud commotion came up outside the camp. People were screaming as if they had seen a super star.

The Thearch's Son had arrived.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 733 Challenge from Wu Tengshan

"Whoosh."

A palace appeared in the sky, enveloped in mist. There were servants in white uniforms running around the palace.

"Yuntian Palace is indeed the top sect in Kunxu. They allow their disciples to use the 'Feiyun Pavilion,' which is a treasure that's worth more than ten thousand Spirit Stones! It's said to be able to withstand the attacks of an Earth Level Deity," someone exclaimed.

Li Wenchan, Zi Tianyu and Bai Suxian were all staring at the person at the front of the palace.

A young man in an emperor's robe stood at the fences of the Feiyun Pavilion. His hair was fluttering in the wind and he was wearing a golden crown. There were nine dragon motifs embroidered on his robe. He looked fierce and superior as if he were the emperor.

Qi Qingwei had a complex feeling when she saw the man who was arriving.

The Thearch's Son!

The top cultivator among the younger generation of the Realm of Kunxu!

His arrival meant that the Gathering of Lantai had officially started! The Feiyun Pavilion didn't come down to the ground but descended over Lantai. Then, a majestic voice came.

"Everyone, please gather around."

"All right, let's see if you're really invincible!" Zi Tianyu burst into laughter and the Purple Fire Wings appeared on his back, shooting towards the sky onto Lantai.

"Amitabha."

Li Wenchan took a step and he started walking in the air towards Lantai.

"It's the Divine Foot. He managed to attain this Divine Power."

Many were stunned.

Then, Bai Suxian, Qi Qingwei and the Princess of the Southern Kingdom also cast their spells and flew into the air. Zhang Yulong from the Dashi Sect even created a force dragon and rode on it.

Lantai was a thousand meters tall and was extremely steep, so only Immortal State Warriors could go up there. The others couldn't fly and could only stay down there, waiting for the result of the battles.

"Stay here, kid. I'll get back to you when I come down from Lantai."

Wu Tengshan gave a chilling smile, then a gust of wind rolled him up and left.

Qi Xiu'er grabbed Chen Fan's hand and mumbled, "Immortal Master Chen, we should go. They won't be coming down any time soon."

"You might not be able to go even if you want to."

Chen Fan shook his head.

Qi Xiu'er was startled. She found that Wu Tengshan's guards and friends were looking at them. "Don't try to run away, kid. You'll be dead no matter where you go."

"I'm not going to run. I'd love to see what Wu Tengshan is capable of since he dared to threaten me." Chen Fan smiled and held Qi Xiu'er by the hand.

"Girl, didn't you say you wanted to see what the Gathering of Lantai looks like? I'll take you up there."

Then, Chen Fan held Qi Xiu'er in his arms and flew to Lantai.

The people around them were immediately terrified. They didn't know that Chen Fan was also an Immortal State Warrior. Being able to reach the Immortal State at such a young age would deem him an elite in Kunxu.

Even those from the Heavenly Thunder Sect frowned.

"You're an Immortal State Warrior, so what? Senior Wu isn't someone an Immortal State Warrior can defeat."

They sneered and waited for the drama.

Everyone turned to look when Chen Fan arrived at Lantai with Qi Xiu'er. Those present basically knew all the Immortal State Warriors of the younger generation, so they felt a bit weird after seeing such a stranger.

"Who is he?"

The Princess of the Southern Kingdom looked over with interest.

The energy Chen Fan showed to the others was only that of an early-stage Immortal State Warrior, but he looked handsome which aroused the curiosity of the Princess.

"He's with the Mixed-Essence Sect and he knows Qi Qingwei. I heard that he offended Wu Tengshan down the mountain," Zi Tianyu said.

"What a shame. Wu Tengshan will kill him no matter how handsome he is," the Princess of the Southern Kingdom said.

Qi Qingwei was startled. She frowned and said, "Xiu'er, come here."

Qi Xiu'er was still in shock so she listened to her sister.

Chen Fan turned around and saw Wu Tengshan grinning at him. He didn't care at all and kept observing all of Lantai. There were dozens of people sitting around and they were all above the Immortal State realm. Almost all the elites of Kunxu's younger generation had gathered there.

Chen Fan glanced over at those from Snow God Palace but Lu Yanxue wasn't there. He frowned and sat down in a corner with his legs crossed. He decided to ask them about Lu Yanxue after the Gathering of Lantai ended.

"Why did you come up here?" Qi Qingwei said.

There was a rule on Lantai. Whoever went up there would be regarded as one of the competitors for the leader position and could be challenged at any time, which was why Qi Qingwei didn't take Qi Xiu'er with her.

"I don't know. Immortal Master Chen asked me to come."

Qi Xiu'er looked confused and cute.

"Hm, he's so reckless. Let's see what will happen to him when Wu Tengshan finds him." Qi Qingwei grunted and pulled Qi Xiu'er behind her.

"Stay behind me. No one will challenge you."

"Hm."

Qi Xiu'er sat down obediently.

Suddenly, several beams of light fell from the sky onto the eight peaks of Lantai Mountain. Everyone, including the onlookers down the mountain, was startled. No one dared to speak at this point.

The Earth Level Deities had arrived!

When the light dissipated, eight fierce Sages appeared. They came from the seven Exalted Sects and the Zi family of Fentian Valley.

They were there to supervise, but they wouldn't interrupt the battles. All of them sat on the peaks without saying a word and nobody dared to disturb them. Even in the Realm of Kunxu, Earth Level Deities were superior beings.

"The Gathering of Lantai begins!"

The Thearch's Son got up and said, "Anyone who wants to issue a challenge, please come forward. You can also challenge me."

Zhang Yulong chuckled and said, "Haha, you're invincible. Who would dare to challenge you?"

The others nodded.

The most powerful person was usually challenged last in the Gathering of Lantai.

"I'll go first. I want to see the cultivation art of Snow God Palace." The Princess of the Southern Kingdom got up and looked at those from the Snow God Palace.

Bai Suxian walked to the stage without saying anything.

They were both powerful fairies; they were also among the top ten most beautiful women. Their family backgrounds were just as impressive. So, their battle immediately caught everyone's attention.

"Boom, boom!!"

The two of them started fighting. The Princess of the Southern Kingdom had a pair of golden rings, which were a set of mid-grade Spirit Artifacts comparable to one of a superior-grade. On the other hand, Bai Suxian only sent out two rays of Icy Divine Light.

Everyone was watching anxiously,

Only Chen Fan sat in the corner with his back facing the others, closing his eyes to cultivate. His energy fluctuated with the waves of the Fury Dragon River as if he were merged with the world. His broken meridians and acupuncture points started to heal with the help of the Spirit Qi, and his body started to become a perfect gem piece.

"Dong!"

In the end, Bai Suxian knocked out the golden rings of the Princess of the Southern Kingdom which made her surrender. After that, more and more young elites stepped out and challenged one another.

Li Wenchan, Qi Qingwei and Zhang Yulong had been challenged.

But they showed the others how powerful the large sects were. They took down their enemies in three or five attacks. Li Wenchan even stood there and allowed a flying sword to slash him which didn't injure him at all, making his rival surrender in the end.

The Earth Level Deities watched silently. One of them said, "Even though there are a lot of elites among the younger generation, those from the seven large sects and Fentian Valley are the best."

The Earth Level Deity of the Azure Mystic Sect added, "After all, the majority weren't raised in the large sects with many top secret arts and Dharma Artifacts. It's a shame that Xuan Luo, Tian Mingzi and Qian Yexue died in the mortal world. Otherwise, they might have been able to give the Thearch's Son a hard time. Li Wenchan and the others are still too weak."

The Earth Level Deity of the Dashi Sect suddenly asked, "Right, White Fairy, I heard that Snow God Palace once brought a girl back from the mortal world. Is that true?"

"Indeed," White Fairy of Snow God Palace said.

"The mortal world is weird and unpredictable. Even Earth Level Deity Hanshi died there. The seven Sect Masters have decided to use secret treasures to open the Gate of Heaven and send someone to assess the situation. They also need to search the soul of the mortal woman in your palace to understand the situation in the mortal world," someone from Yuntian Palace said.

"I understand," White Fairy frowned and said.

Compared to the safety of the Realm of Kunxu, Lu Yanxue was nothing. Thinking of the consequences of the soul-searching process, White Fairy felt a bit sorry for the girl.

"You're from the mortal world after all."

White Fairy heaved a sigh.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The battles were still in progress on Mount Lantai.

After dozens of battles, everyone's strength could be gauged.

Still, the Thearch's Son remained mysterious and superior. He hadn't fought with anyone yet.

Li Wenchan, Qi Qingwei, Bai Suxian and Wu Tengshan were all at the highest level. They were the elites of the large sects who had reached the peak stage of the Immortal State or had even become Mortal Deities!

Mid-stage Immortal State Warriors like the Princess of the Southern Kingdom belonged to the moderate level, same as the other elites from the seven large sects.

Finally, the early-stage Immortal State Warriors were at the lowest level.

Only the Thearch's Son, Qi Xiu'er and Chen Fan hadn't battled yet. Then, Wu Tengshan got up and looked at the corner.

"Chen Beixuan, I'll challenge you."

Everyone saw a man, who had long hair and had his back facing the others, sitting in a corner.

Who was that?

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 734 Killed with One Hand

Zhang Yulong scoffed at Wu Tengshan, "Wu Tengshan is an elite of the Heavenly Thunder Sect and the son of the Grand Elder, and yet he's challenging a nameless person. What a disgrace to the Heavenly Thunder Sect."

"Wouldn't the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sect do anything to take revenge? He's powerful and is a good friend of Cloud Heaven Thearch. Not even Earth Level Deity Hanshi is able to deal with him," Zi Tianyu said.

"Come here. I'll protect you if you're willing to be my lover." The Princess of the Southern Kingdom chuckled. The Southern Kingdom had always been open minded and the princess was famous for her boldness, so no one was surprised.

"You're shameless."

Qi Xiu'er stuck out her tongue.

Chen Fan was still sitting there, hanging by a thread. His breath seemed to be following the movement of the Fury Dragon River, but Wu Tengshan and the Earth Level Deities didn't notice that.

"Why? Are you scared? If you're scared, you can surrender and kneel before me. Then, jump off Lantai and never show up in front of me again," Wu Tengshan said arrogantly.

Everyone looked at Chen Fan. Some were doubting, some felt sorry for him and others were gloating.

They knew of Wu Tengshan's strength. Even though he wasn't as powerful as Li Wenchan, Qi Qingwei and Zhang Yulong, he was comparable to Daoist Chang Song, Zi Tianyu, Yun Feng and Bai Suxian, and was way stronger than the others.

Chen Fan didn't reply; he kept his eyes closed.

This time, even Li Wenchan frowned. He widened his eyes and looked at Chen Fan. "Brother, you can't reject a challenge on Lantai. If you don't want to accept it, you have to leave."

Chen Fan remained silent.

Even Qi Qingwei shook her head. He was stubborn and shameless.

The Princess of the Southern Kingdom was a bit pissed.

Although she liked Chen Fan's appearance, people from the Southern Kingdom appreciated warriors who never gave up and fought until the end! Chen Fan was a coward in her eyes right then.

"Fine, that's enough."

The Thearch's Son spoke.

Wu Tengshan dared not to disobey him and he mumbled as he sat down.

"This kid humiliated Changhe Sword Immortal, saying that he can kill him with one hand. I must teach him a lesson and let him know the power of the large sects and Exalted Immortals."

Even the Earth Level Deities who sat aside widened their eyes after hearing this.

Changhe Sword Immortal was a talented and superior figure, who once defeated many cultivators on Lantai and killed a white dragon! How could someone humiliate him? Wu Tengshan knew that the Thearch's Son admired Changhe Sword Immortal the most and would never tolerate such disrespectful behavior.

"Oh, really?"

The Thearch's Son frowned.

Daoist Chang Song, the leader of the Azure Mystic Sect, got up and said furiously, "Changhe Sword Immortal is my master. How dare you say that!"

This time, even the Princess of the Southern Kingdom remained silent.

This was about the face of the Exalted Sects. If they didn't teach Chen Fan a lesson, how could they maintain their power?

"Sister."

Qi Xiu'er was about to cry.

Qi Qingwei said coldly, "This is his fault. He just likes to bluff. Even if I save him now, can I save him forever?"

"But..." Qi Xiu'er was extremely anxious. She wanted to say that Immortal Master Chen was only joking.

And yet, everyone there was superior and powerful. She couldn't say anything.

"Calm down, Daoist Chang Song. Let me go first." Wu Tengshan smiled.

Then, Chen Fan finally opened his eyes.

He got up and turned around, looking at Wu Tengshan. "Did you yell and interrupt my cultivation?"

"Wu Tengshan said you humiliated my master. Is that true?" Daoist Chang Song said expressionlessly. Chen Fan ignored him and kept staring at Wu Tengshan.

"You've been disrespectful to me since we met down there. Do you really think that I'm a pushover?"

"What's wrong with disrespecting you?"

Wu Tengshan stood arrogantly and his body was covered with flashes of lightning.

Chen Fan didn't answer. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Wu Tengshan.

"Whoosh."

A strong invisible energy appeared and Wu Tengshan was pulled towards Chen Fan as if he were being sucked into a black hole.

"Go!"

Wu Tengshan used the strength of his entire body and tried to escape from the True Essence, but Chen Fan kept holding that posture.

Then, Wu Tengshan realized that the invisible energy was as steady as a mountain and his body was involuntarily going towards Chen Fan's hand.

"Boom!"

Chen Fan had dragged Wu Tengshan from a hundred feet away.

Then, Chen Fan stepped on his head and said, "What about now?"

"Bastard, let me go!"

Wu Tengshan was enraged and his body let out beams of golden light. He was extremely vicious as he had never been so humiliated before.

"Chen Beixuan, I swear I'll catch you and strike you with lightning for a thousand years to destroy your Divine Soul..."

"Bang."

Chen Fan pushed Wu Tengshan's head into the ground with his foot and broke his bones.

Everyone then woke up from the shock.

They stared at Chen Fan as if they were looking at a monster.

Wu Tengshan was a disciple of the Heavenly Thunder Sect. Even though he was weaker than Qi Qingwei and Li Wenchan, he was a peak-stage Immortal State Warrior after all. And yet, an early-stage Immortal State Warrior was stepping on him right then.

Qi Qingwei was also stunned.

She had never thought that Chen Fan would be so powerful. Although he might really have sneak attacked, he was strong enough to enter the peak stage of the Immortal State and was comparable to the elites.

Li Wenchan from Mount Thunder came out and said, "Brother, we should think about the face of the others during the battles. Let's just release him first."

"He's right. Wu Tengshan might have been rude, but he did that for my master's sake. If you want to fight, I'll fight with you," Daoist Chang Song said.

"Release Wu Tengshan and start the battle again."

The Thearch's Son spoke.

"Right, let me go. You sneak attacked me. We should start the battle again and see how my Divine Thunder deals with you!" Wu Tengshan couldn't speak so he used his Immortal Will.

"Bang!"

This time, Chen Fan stepped on him hard once again.

A human-shaped pit that was a few meters deep appeared on Lantai. Wu Tengshan's limbs were broken, his chest dented and his organs had almost exploded.

Chen Fan had used 30% of his power and no Immortal State Warrior could bear it. However, a white aura appeared around Wu Tengshan's body. It was the talisman given by his father, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sect. It was extremely strong and couldn't even be destroyed by an Earth Level Deity.

"How dare you!"

Daoist Chang Song was enraged.

They had tried to convince Chen Fan but he still did that. He was blatantly provoking them! Even Li Wenchan became serious. He talked to Chen Fan twice but Chen Fan ignored him, which made him feel as if his face had been lost.

"You think the seven Exalted Sects can't deal with you?"

Li Wenchan got up slowly.

A steady and indestructible will gathered around him and his body was covered in glitters of golden light, as if the Buddha had come to Earth. He had apparently initiated the Diamond Body.

Daoist Chang Song didn't say anything, simply pulling out the sword on his back.

"Release him!"

Yun Feng shouted!

"Chen Beixuan, kill me if you can. Otherwise, I'll exterminate your sect once I break free," Wu Tengshan shouted. He wasn't afraid of Chen Fan's attacks because of the talisman, so he gradually became more arrogant.

"Really? All right," Chen Fan replied calmly.

He pulled Wu Tengshan up. While everyone thought he was going to yield to the seven sects and release Wu Tengshan...

"Poof."

Chen Fan's energy turned Wu Tengshan's body and Divine Soul into blood mist. The white aura around Wu Tengshan was also dissipated.

Before Wu Tengshan died, he still looked frightened.

He was the son of the supreme figure of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, a peak-stage Immortal State Warrior. He even had the protection talisman of his father!

Why would anyone kill him? How could anyone kill him?

The entire Lantai was in silence.

Even the Thearch's Son was startled. Nobody had thought that Chen Fan would really kill Wu Tengshan!

"How is that possible?"

The eyes of the Princess of the Southern Kingdom popped out and she couldn't believe it at all.

Chen Fan was only a normal Immortal State Warrior in their eyes. But just then, he killed Wu Tengshan and broke the talisman of a supreme figure so easily, which was completely beyond their imagination.

Qi Qingwei froze there.

"He... he killed Wu Tengshan?"

Qi Qingwei widened her eyes and was overwhelmed by disbelief.

Even though Qi Qingwei had always thought that Chen Fan was powerful, she didn't know he was that strong. What terrified her was that he could kill someone without hesitation.

"That was the son of the Heavenly Thunder Sect's Grand Elder. This is bad," Zi Tianyu said with a wry smile.

Everyone knew that the Grand Elder would do anything to take revenge and was extremely powerful. Otherwise, someone would have already dealt with Wu Tengshan.

"How dare you!" Someone shouted from the side.

A thick thunderbolt struck. Apparently, the Earth Level Deity of the Heavenly Thunder Sect was enraged. He was planning to ignore the rules and fight directly.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 735 Surprise!

All Seven Exalted Sects and the Zi family had sent Earth Level Deities to observe the competition. Since Wu Tengshan was the son of the Heavenly Thunder Sect Elder, he became the figurehead within the sect after the death of Earth Level Deity Hanshi.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a large man with a dark face and angry rounded eyes appeared in the air. He was the Earth Level Deity from the Heavenly Thunder Sect, Exalted Cultivator Bronzebeard.

"Who are you? How dare you kill a disciple of my sect?" Exalted Cultivator Bronzebeard shouted; his threatening voice carried so much pressure down onto everyone on the ground that they felt as if a small mountain had been dropped over their heads.

Most young elites gathered on the mountain scrambled to safety. Stronger ones such as the Princess of the Southern Kingdom gritted her teeth and struggled to hold out. Meanwhile, Qi Qingwei and Li Wenchan were able to stand their ground firmly after gathering themselves.

Chen Fan and the Thearch's Son were the only two who were seemingly unaffected by the pressure.

Chen Fan pointed at the arena and said with an indifferent face as energy roiled inside of him, "You have something to say? Why don't you come up here and settle this?"

By then, he was almost fully recovered and the Fury Dragon River had also given him a great boost in terms of level of attainment. He was on the verge of re-entering the Connate Spirit realm again. A thrilling battle would be the perfect catalyst to stimulate the leveling up process.

"How dare you!" Exalted Cultivator Bronzebeard fumed, golden lightning crackled in his eyes as he raised a palm, ready to strike out.

Suddenly, Li Wenchan shouted, "Exalted Cultivator, please refrain from interfering with the competition. "

"Agreed. You will have lots of chances to teach him a lesson. You are an Earth Level Deity, thus you are forbidden from entering the arena as tradition dictates," Daoist Chang Song said.

"It's our fight, so leave it to us," The Thearch's Son put in.

Li Wenchan and his powerful peers were proud elites, therefore they would not let Exalted Cultivator Bronzebeard interfere with their business. The Exalted Cultivator's involvement would give the young elites an image of weakness; it was something that Li Wenchan would never accept.

"All right."

The light in Exalted Cultivator Bronzebeard's eyes dimmed a little as he gave the Thearch's Son a furtive glance. Then he turned around and backed off.

Chen Fan stood still with his hands linked behind his back. His indifferent expression suggested that he was scared of neither the Exalted Cultivator Bronzebeard nor of Li Wenchan. Although he hadn't fully recovered yet, he was confident that he would win the competition.

"Who's next?" Chen Fan asked casually.

"Chen Beixuan, you think too little of us. Wu Tengshan was the weakest among us and you killed him only because of his carelessness. Do you really believe that you can defeat all of us?" Daoist Chang Song said with a smirk.

Although he lacked the Dao Body of Nascent Divinity that the Young Master of the Azure Mystic Sect had, as one of the leaders in the Azure Mystic Sect, he was a renowned sword immortal. Plus, his older age also gave him an advantage in terms of depth of knowledge and experience compared to his younger counterparts.

"Clank!"

Daoist Chang Song started a sword art and commanded the blade to leave its sheath.

The body of the ancient sword that he carried on his back was covered with patterns that resembled the bark of a pine tree. Suddenly, the sword turned into a path of yellow glow as it charged out. Chang Song's technique was simple and to the point, with a great economy of movement. Each movement had a purpose and gave very little room for Chen Fan to breathe.

"Daoist Chang Song really lives up to his position as the lead Sword Immortal at the Azure Mystic Sect. His Sword Art of Cang Mountain can rival the Sword Art of Chagnhe. Although Xuan Luo has a Dao Body of Nascent Divinity, his sword art would pale under comparison with Daoist Chang Song," The Thearch's Son remarked.

His words shocked everyone.

Xuan Luo was the name of the Young Master of the Azure Mystic Sect. If the Thearch's Son considered Daoist Chang Song's sword art better than Xuan Luo's, then Daoist Chang Song's sword art had to be unthinkably powerful. The revelation made people second guess their confidence in Chen Fan, especially Qi Xiu'er.

She grew elated after seeing Chen Fan unleash his full strength. However, Daoist Chang Song's belligerent Blade Qi disheartened her almost immediately.

Swish, swish, swish.

Endless yellow energy beamed up into the sky and formed a path of formidable Blade Qi the size of a mountain. Daoist Chang Song took a deep breath and hurled the huge Blade Qi at Chen Fan.

Although Daoist Chang Song had not reached the Mortal Deity realm yet, he had displayed an impressive strength that showcased his solid foundation at the Divine Sea level.

"Forfeit the match now, I might still be able to save your life," Qi Qingwei suddenly shouted out.

She was the Senior Apprentice-Sister of the Mixed-Essence Sect, the Sect master's favorite. If she vouched for someone's life, even the sect master of the Heavenly Thunder Sect would have to oblige. Lights came up in everyone's eyes as they registered the girl's affection toward Chen Fan. Chen Fan had proven his talent by killing Wu Tengshan and it wouldn't be too hard for a major sect to groom him into an Earth Level Deity.

"Haha."

Chen Fan laughed and ignored the girl. He focused his attention on the threatening Blade Aura and said. "Qi Qingwei, you have no idea who I am and what I am capable of."

After he said that, Chen Fan reached out an arm and flicked a finger.

"I will show you the real meaning of power today."

Daoist Chang Song poured out energy that he had been accumulating over fourty years and transformed it into a giant yellow Blade Aura that was able to crush through an aircraft carrier. However, Chen Fan's counter measure was rife with levity.

"What a jerk."

Qi Qingwei furrowed her brow in disapproval.

She had offered help for the sake of Qi Xiu'er, yet Chen Fan ignored his last chance of walking out of the arena alive. To Qi Qingwei, Chen Fan was already a dead man.

Tears welled in Qi Xiu'er's eyes. However she was shocked by an incredible development.

"Bang!"

The yellow Blade Qi fizzled away like a bubble as soon as it came into contact with Chen Fan's finger. Daoist Chang Song's energy should have been tougher than steel, but it simply disappeared.

Chen Fan sent out an invisible force from the tip of his finger and landed on the ancient blade under Daoist Chang Song's horrified eyes.

"Crack!"

The blade was a mid-grade Spirit Artifact. However, it could not bear the stress and shattered into pieces. Chen Fan followed up with a seemingly gentle tap on Daoist Chang Song's chest.

Suddenly, Daoist Chang Song exploded from the inside, turning into a puff of crimson mist.

Chen Fan countered a powerful Sword Art, broke a sword and killed Chang Song with three taps of his finger.

Everyone went silent!

The outcome had caught everyone by surprise.

Qi Qingwei's smirk curdled on her face as she grappled with what had happened. Meanwhile, the result shocked Li Wenchan and Zi Tianyu to the core. Even the Thearch's Son was taken aback by such an outcome.

He was convinced that Chen Fan had killed Wu Tengshan because of the element of surprise. However, he didn't expect Chen Fan to kill Chen Fan with a simple jab.

"How come he is so powerful?"

Qi Qingwei's heart raced as she struggled to come to terms with reality.

Meanwhile, Yun Feng from the Yuntian Palace rose to his feet and shouted, "That's witchcraft. You must have used a lowly witchcraft spell!"

Three seconds later...

Yun Feng was slammed down onto the ground and was ground by an unseen force into a pulp.

The Mieqing Sect representative rose up and protested, but five seconds later, Chen Fan had decapitated him and threw his headless corpse off the arena.

Everyone became silent.

In a few minutes, Chen Fan had killed four young elites. Although Yun Feng and Wu Tengshan were not the strongest among their peers, the ease displayed in their execution terrified everyone.

"This is... impossible"

Admiration lit up the eyes of the Southern Kingdom's Princess.

Qi Xiu'er was stupefied by the development. She blinked a few times as she tried to understand what had just happened.

"Amitabha, please accept the challenge of a humble monk."

Li Wenchan stepped forward. He carried a string of beads in one hand as his skin shimmered with a golden glow.

Standing to his left was a furious Zi Tianyu, and to his right was Zhang Yulong from the Dashi Sect. Two force dragons hung from Zhang Yulong's arms, they let out a deep droning as they writhed and twisted their bodies.

The most powerful elites finally stepped in.

Worse, three of them got involved at the same time.

"You can choose any one of us as your opponent," Zhang Yulong announced proudly.

Everyone looked to Chen Fan expectantly. Let it be Li Wenchan, Zi Tianyu or Zhang Yulong, Chen Fan was in for a tough fight. Those present were convinced that these three top elite cultivators would be able to force Chen Fan to reveal his true power.

Qi Qingwei rose to her feet and was going to say something, but she hesitated and eventually sat back down.

Her strength was on par with that of Li Wenchan and it was better for her to wait and see how their fight would turn out.

"I will fight all three of you at once. I'm in a hurry." Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and answered without even looking at his challengers.

"How arrogant!"

Chen Fan's response didn't sit well with the three elite cultivators. No one, not even the Thearch's Son or Xuan Luo would dare to take on three elite cultivators at once.

"Boom!"

Zhang Yulong attacked first. The two force dragons left his arms and charged at Chen Fan.

The Dashi Sect specialized in Soul Energy.

Zhang Yulong used an Art called the Dragon Reigning Art. It was one of the seven deadliest arts in the Dashi Sect. Once perfected, one could summon eighteen force dragons. Although Zhang Yulong's execution was far from perfect, it was deadly nonetheless.

"Boom!"

Chen Fan slapped the golden dragons, shattering them in an instant. Those dragons had been formed by powerful soul energy and could break steel with ease. However, they were as fragile as paper dragons under Chen Fan's attack.

"Let me try!"

Zi Tianyu opened his mouth, puffing out a purple flame as thick as a newborn's arm.

The fire crackled in the air as it lanced forwarwd. This was the secret art Purple Fire Divine Body from the Fentian Valley. It was able to burn an Earth Level Deity to death.

"Phew."

Chen Fan blew air toward the fire and snuffed the flame in a blink.

"Bravo!"

Li Wenchan let out a peel of laughter, then took a step forward and hurled a fist at Chen Fan's chest, as his body was suffused with a golden glow. His punch was so powerful that it would split open a mountain.

However, Chen Fan was unfazed by the deadly punch and allowed it to land on his chest. To everyone's surprise the blow didn't seem to do much.

"It's my turn now."

Under Li Wenchan's shocked eyes, Chen Fan cracked a broad smile, and punched out, turning the world upside down.

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001

Chapter 736 Killing Spree

"How is that possible?"Chapter

Everyone was shocked after seeing how Chen Fan had countered the three young cultivator's attacks and held out against Li Wenchan's raw attack. Zhang Yulong and Zi Tianyu were both among the top five most powerful young warriors in Kunxu.

Li Wenchan was the strongest of the three thanks to his Diamond Body. He was believed to be able to defeat an Earth Level Deity.

So tough was Chen Fan's body that he had withstood a direct blow from Li Wenchan. Even the Thearch's Son was taken aback; it took him a while to take in the development.

However, when he saw Chen Fan's attack, his shock was replaced by fear.

"Boom!"

Chen Fan didn't use any fancy techniques as he punched directly. His fist unleashed a powerful pulse of True Essence that bore down on its target like a mighty waterfall.

Li Wenchan only had time to cross his arms before his chest to cast a Diamond shield. However, the energy shield shattered into a million pieces under Chen Fan's fist.

Chen Fan's blow landed on Li Wenchan chest, hammering its chest bones in. Li Wenchan spat out a gush of golden blood and was knocked back a few hundred meters.

"Stth!"

Shock and disbelief even crawled onto Bai Suxian's stone-chiseled face.

Li Wenchan's Diamond Body could withstand a direct attack of an Earth Level Deity's flying sword. How did Chen Fan cause so much trauma with a punch?

A hint of regret surfaced in Chen Fan's eyes.

He was disappointed about the damage he had dealt. If his injury didn't hamper his strength, he could have killed that young man.

"Again!" Chen Fan shouted.

He pointed upwards with a finger, shooting a stream of black flame into the sky. It was the Kylin Fire. Zi Tianyu's face paled after he saw the black flame and hurried to charge up his energy, summoning layers of fire to block the attack. However, the Kylin Fire melted his defense with ease.

In the end, Zi Tianyu was able to escape the deadly Kylin Fire alive, despite the numerous burns he had suffered. The Kylin Fire had also devoured his dark hair.

After that, Chen Fan landed his deadly gaze on Zhang Yulong.

"Bang!"

He shot out a pulse of deadly Divine Will from his eyes. Zhang Yulong cracked a cold smile. The Dashi Sect was well known for its proficiency in mind-force. Chen Fan had played right into his hand.

However, as soon as their Divine Wills crashed into each other, Zhang Yulong's body trembled as blood streamed out from his face. The impact felt harder than ramming his head onto the Kunlun mountain.

In a blink.

Chen Fan had brought the three elite cultivators to their knees.

"He defeated fist with fist, fire with fire and will power with will power! Chen Beixuan has reached an unthinkable level of attainment in all three aspects of cultivation: Body, Divine Powers and mind. He is a true Earth Level Deity," Bai Suxian said, her face taut with respect.

Meanwhile, the other cultivators near the stage were shaken to the core.

Qi Qingwei was rendered speechless. All three elite cultivators were stronger than her, and yet, Chen Fan had made quick work out of them. Did this mean that Chen Fan was going to emerge victorious?

"I don't believe it!"

Li Wenchan finally gathered himself, and despite the heavy injury on his chest, he doubled down on his attack. The golden glow on his body became more intense as the energy inside of him surged.

He lifted one foot and took a step forward with difficulty.

"Boom!"

Li Wenchan's footstep caused a tremor in the ground. A shockwave of energy ripped out from under his foot as a golden halo appeared behind Li Wenchan.

Surrounded by the divine light, Li Wenchan looked like Buddha in the flesh.

"A Mortal Deity!"

The development piqued the attention of the eight Earth Level Deities who had been observing on the sidelines.

Meanwhile, the other young cultivators were elated by the incredible scene.

They could finally witness the full power of elite cultivators. Li Wenchan had reached the Mortal Deity realm a while back and was much more powerful than any Immortal State Warrior thanks to his ability to use the Power of Heaven and Earth.

"I won't surrender either. "

Surrounded by roaring energy, Zi Tianyu flew to the sky as he reached a new level. Essence Qi of a belligerent fire element circled around him and formed a cyclone that linked the energy of the earth and the sky, with Zi Tianyu right in the middle.

Shrouded by a purple flame, Zi Tianyu looked like a Fire Godfiend.

Another Mortal Deity!

Meanwhile, Zhang Yulong let out a peal of deranged laughter as terrifying soul energy gathered around him, forming four mind-force dragons.

Zhang Yulong stepped on one of the dragons and rose to the sky like a sage ascending to heaven.

The third Mortal Deity.

In a blink, all three of them entered the Mortal Deity realm. As they tapped into the forces of nature, their energy made the waters of the Fury Dragon River roil.

"What is going on?"

People beneath the Lantai Mountain rose to their feet in excitement.

"I sense three Mortal Deities. Could it be that three of the combatants have broken through? Maybe the battle is about to end," someone said.

"It shouldn't be. It has just begun," another person in the audience said.

Even as everyone wondered what was going on, another intense battle was about to take place on the Lantai Mountain.

Chen Fan was unfazed by the threat of the three Mortal Deities. He looked into the distant river and noticed a writhing water dragon lurking under its waves.

"Chen Beixuan, you should feel honored to see our full power."

Zi Tianyu wore the fiery energy like another layer of skin. Without incredible power, the Zi family would have never been listed alongside the major sects.

Qi Qingwei pulled a taut face.

Taking on the combined forces of three elite cultivators was suicide. Not even Bai Suxian could last more than one second.

"Perhaps only the Thearch's Son could hold out against three at the same time."

Qi Qingwei looked at the Three Pure Ones and noticed that the young man had become even more distant than three years in the past.

Chen Fan said nonchalantly, "You talk too much, let's do it already."

"You are courting death!"

Zhang Yulong thinned his lips into a cold smile as he commanded the four mind-force dragons to charge at Chen Fan. Behind each mind-force Dragon was a powerful cyclone.

So powerful were a Mortal Deity's spells that no mortal could survive their deadly rampage.

Zi Tianyu also shot out divine flames from his eyes. Those Divine Flames turned into a rain of fire that fell above Chen Fan. Hidden inside the fire was a purple fire wheel that charged at him.

This was the superior-grade Spirit Artifact: Wheel of Divine Flame

Li Wenchan was the last one to lash out.

He had sustained the heaviest injury, but his counter attack was the most powerful out of the three.

"Boom!"

Li Wenchan stepped forward as his body slowly absorbed the energy in the halo. His body grew larger as his skin gained a metallic texture.

Li Wenchan extended an arm and slammed it down onto Chen Fan.

"Arhat Golden Body!"

Everyone was shocked by the development.

This was the most advanced art practiced at the Leiyin Mountain. Rumor had it that only the Elephant God Master had mastered such an art. No one had thought that Li Wenchan also had access to this art. Although he could only unleash ten percent of the art's power, the attack was devastating nonetheless...

Chen Fan remained calm; suddenly, he broke the sonic barrier.

"Boom!"

Chen Fan flew up into the sky like a dragon, a streak of white turbulence trailed behind him. He rested one hand before his chest and formed a seal, then pressed his palm down.

"A Thousand Lotuses!"

"Boom!"

The attack shattered the four mind-force dragons, and then went after Zhang Yulong. Zhang Yulong blanched and scrambled to cast protection spells.

However, resistance was futile before the mighty Thousand Lotuses.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Chen Fan's attack blew through a dozen will-force barriers and landed squarely on Zhang Yulong's forehead.

"Bang!"

Zhang Yulong's body exploded from the inside and turned into countless fragments.

Chen Fan didn't stop. He reached out a hand and snatched the Wheel of Divine Flame in the air. Zi Tianyu was elated by the development. Even as he was going to double down on his art and sever Chen Fan into two, Chen Fan hurled the wheel back at him.

"Bang!"

The Wheel of Divine Flame flew back with ten times its former speed. It sliced open the air as it arced across the sky. Before Zi Tianyu could shore up any defense, the wheel went through his body, severing him into two.

The second elite cultivator was slain.

Chen Fan turned around and slammed a palm into Li Wenchan's palm strike.

An eye for an eye.

"Boom!"

The impact of the five meter tall golden Arhat with the average-sized teenage boy let out a blaring noise louder than a Buddist temple's bell chime.

Li Wenchan's body let out a flash of brilliant golden glow as he charged his Arhat Golden Body to the max. However, his strength was a far cry from Chen Fan's. It wasn't long before blood started to spill out from all the apertures of his face.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan's face remained calm as a faint azure glow appeared on his body.

His initial-success Divine Body could defeat a Connate Cultivator with bare hands!

"Boom!"

Li Wenchan's palm was split open and the wound quickly extended to his shoulder, chest and finally his head. His body exploded, turning his mortal coil into a shower of blood.

Chen Fan was the only one left standing in the arena. He linked his hands behind his back and looked into the distance with divine indifference in his eyes.

In a blink.

He had killed three elite cultivators.

All the while, he had only used one hand.

He had killed all three of them with one hand!

64c3e69bf75c4d1715a59001
