Chapter 917 Take on All of You at the Same TimeHe had dealt with the cream of the crop among the Beihuang Region’s young elites with one blow.

Many cultivators let out gasps of cold air. Some were shaking uncontrollably, unable to cope with the brutal reality.

“By the mother of all gods. He killed five top young elites with a single blow. How powerful is he?”

Many people shook their heads incredulously.

The shock and terror in the air was ten times worse than the mere surprise when Chen Fan killed Hu Xiao with a finger jab. When the Azure Thearch Longevity God Killing Hand bore down onto its enemies, even the Longevity Roll elites had felt threatened.

“Such power! That palm strike could easily place him on the Longevity Roll with rank higher than Heavenly Jade Sword Prince,” a sect master cried out.

However, more people thought about the consequences of Chen Fan’s action than his power.

“That’s it, he’s dead.”

A senior cultivator wearing a patched cloth looked up at the plateau with trembling fingers.

“He’s more than dead.”

The scholarly man heaved a sigh.

Meanwhile, the Wu family members were appalled by Chen Fan’s actions. Wu Xiao screamed at the top of her lungs, “Chen Beixuan, why did you kill them?!”

Feng Yuqiu, Nin Haichao, and Shang Hangkong, all of them belonged to Heavenly Lord Families and were heirs of those mighty factions. Each of them had been groomed to be the next dominating power in their region. Chen Fan might have been able to mask his killing of Hu Xiao under the excuse of a personal feud, but he had no reason to kill the five heirs.

“The Beihuang Region has almost ten Heavenly Lord Families, and Chen Fan started to fight with six of them regardless. He has nerves of steel,” Violet Moon Fairy shook her head and lamented.

Meanwhile, Situ Cheng’s shock had slowly turned into a gloating sneer. He looked at Chen Fan, thinking of his death by the families’ revenge.

The Wu Family sisters had been overtaken by fear and shock. Even Wu Baisu furrowed her brow and shook her head in disappointment. “Elixir Monarch Chen is too hotheaded…”

Meanwhile, Wu Qinyan was so terrified that she couldn’t utter a word.

The Wu family was also a Heavenly Lord Family, but that didn’t ease her fear. All the five victims were also from Heavenly Lord Families, and that didn’t deter Chen Fan from landing the killing blow.

“Azure Thearch God Killing Hand! What an Art!”

Heavenly Jade Sword Prince narrowed his eyes where flashes of sharp light shot out from within. Already, his blood was boiling as he readied himself for a thrilling battle.

“Chen Beixuan, you have crossed the line!” Wang Xuanlong scoffed coldly.

“You forced me into a corner first. Am I supposed to let you take me to the rigged trial without fighting back?” Chen Fan said with an icy smile.

“Even the Alchemy Guild admitted that your title of Elixir Monarch was questionable. We are the overseers of the Beihuang Region, why can’t we put you on trial?”

“Too much talking. Just bring it on if you think you can handle me,” Chen Fan cracked a derisive smile and said, “You think you can dominate the land because you are either the descendants of Heavenly Lords or listed on the Longevity Roll. But did you know that neither means anything to me? You are just pathetic crawling insects in my eyes.”

“Enough!” Lichen shouted.

Meanwhile Gufen spread out his fingers, commanding a golden palm that was shrouded by a coat of holy fire to descend from the sky. The hair and the pores on the energy palm made it look real and vivid. The flame surrounding it burned with great intensity. The sky was suddenly filled with the sound of monk’s chanting.

“It’s the Palm of Mahavairocana. Legend has it that the founder of the Saint Fire City, the Heavenly Lord Mahavairocana was a follower of the Buddha. His belief had obviously influenced his arts.”

Perfected Cultivator Xuannu widened his eyes in disbelief.

Saint Fire City was located at the top of a Divine Flame mountain in the south. Legend said that the mountain had been engulfed by Divine Flame that had been burning for a hundred thousand years. The Saint Fire City’s disciples drew energy from the flames to cultivate all kinds of Fire Element Divine Powers. They were mostly known for their Fire Element Body Tempering Art.

“Boom!”

The attack shattered everything in its way.

The ground caved in and many mountains crumbled. In the sky, countless fire balls hurtled down like a shower of meteors, burning many holes in the firmament. A terrible shock wave ripped across space and winded many cultivators.

“Such power! Is that the real strength of Longevity Roll elites?”

The Sect Master of Sanshan Sect marveled at the sight.

The incredible display of strength astonished everyone.

There had been many rumors surrounding the Longevity Roll. However, only a handful of individuals had seen those on the list in action.

“It’s just so so.”

Chen Fan’s face was indifferent. He reached and slapped his enemy.

Chen Fan’s Azure Thearch God Killing Hand was part of the Azure Thearch Longevity Art. It had been passed down directly from the Azure Thearch himself and was considered an elite art even among immortals.

“Whoosh.”

The energy palm was much smaller in size compared to the previous time, but it shined with a blinding golden light. Upon close inspection, one would find that the light came from countless golden inscriptions that covered the palm. Each inscription stroke enunciated a mystic purpose; when spoken out loud, it could kill a god.

Crack!

The Palm of Mahavairocana clashed against the Azure Thearch God Killing Hand.

To everyone’s surprise, the flaming golden palm was split open from the middle. The crack widened, spreading hair thin lines across the surface of the palm like a spider web. In the end, the energy palm was shattered into a thousand pieces with a blaring din.

“Not good!”

Gufen’s face changed color and was going to pull back.

Chen Fan didn’t allow his escape and covered the few thousand meters distance in the blink of an eye, landing a slap on Gufen’s chest. Suddenly, Azure energy mixed with an explosion of fiery blood spilled out from Gufen’s chest. The impact made a deep metallic noise that sounded like the bell chimes in ancient temples.

Before the droning of the impact subsided, a wave of bone snapping sounds was heard, coming from within Gufen’s body. Chen Fan’s palm had made a dent on his chest. The young elite lost balance and fell from the sky like one of the fireballs he had summoned. He slammed onto the ground, making a giant and deep crater.

“Stth!”

Many gasped.

They never thought that Chen Fan could defeat a Longevity Roll elite as easily as he dealt with Hu Xiao.

“That’s impossible! Gufen is the Young Lord of Gufen City, the heir to a Heavenly Lord. I’ve heard that he had even mastered the Mahavairocana body and could withstand a full blow from a Heavenly Lord.”

Perfected Cultivator Xuannu was wide eyed, overcome with disbelief.

There was no doubt in everyone’s mind that Chen Fan was at the early Golden Core stage. His victory against Gufen perplexed them.

“It’s not over yet!” a roar came up from the deep crater on the ground.

Gufen turned into a ray of golden light and soared toward the sky. Engulfed in flame, he looked as fearsome as the Budda’s Diamond Warrior.

“Hm!”

Chen Fan didn’t even glanced at him. He made a wide stride and arrived before Long Hua.

“You want to fight with me?”

Long Hua’s tall frame was taut with anger. She scoffed and furrowed her brow.

A terrifying pulse of energy rippled out from her body as a Heavenly Dragon with violet eyes appeared behind her. The enormous dragon looked every bit as real as the ones in the legend. Its eyes held a fearsome gravitas that nearly forced everyone to their knees.

“Blade Arise!”

Long Hua reached a hand to her back and pulled out a scintillating Divine Blade made entirely out of Violet Gold.

The Divine Blade was a few meters long and its presence added to Long Hua’s surging energy. In a blink, she had surpassed the late Golden Core stage and reached an unknown level of attainment.

A web of violet energy appeared in the air. Its insubstantial strands were ellusive and real at the same time.

Senior Golden Core Cultivators would have known that such a web was made of Divine Patterns. It described the fundamental principles that bounded the world together. Such art could only be used by Grand Cultivators who had reached a great enlightenment. No one had expected Long Hua to summon such power.

“That blade is called Dragon’s Bane. It was created by a Heavenly Lord using the Violet-Eyed Dragon’s rib. It is a Quasi-Heavenly Treasure. I can’t believe that Long Hua would have brought their family treasure to this fight.”

Wu Baisu’s face changed color.

The others were quiet and they looked at each other with fear.

The power of a Quasi-Heavenly Treasure was only under Heavenly Treasures. They had to be crafted out of Heavenly Grade materials by heavenly lords. Although they were one notch below Heavenly Treasures, they outperformed any Spirit Treasures. The Ancestral Patriarch of the Wu family had slaughtered the entire Flying Feather Sect using a Quasi-Heavenly Treasure: the Sea-swallowing Cauldron.

Crack!

The Dragon’s Bane overpowered the binding force of the world and tore a large hole in the fabric of reality. Long Hua charged out, turning into a streak of violet energy. Her power was much greater than Gufen’s.

However, not even a world-shattering power such as that could make Chen Fan waver. He reached out with a finger and tapped on the body of the blade. The impact knocked Long Hua back a few hundred meters.

“Stth!”

The development shocked Wang Xuanlong and Lichen.

Chen Fan had overpowered a Heavenly Treasure with his bare hand.

They had never heard of such power, much less witness it. Long Hua’s face darkened as she shot a fearful glance at Chen Fan; her face was awash with disbelief.

“I told you that you’re too weak.”

Chen Fan shook his head and linked his hands behind his back.

“I will take on all of you at the same time.”
