Chapter 935 Startle EveryoneWhen Chen Fan shattered the Blade Auras, a deadly silence filled up the entire world.

Countless onlookers gaped at the Chen Fan, unable to make a sound.

“Was he defeated?”

In plain sight, the young man stood proudly in the middle of the battlefield. The simplicity of his shirt was a stark contrast to his immeasurable power, and spoke loudly of his enlightenment. Hu Yuanshuo locked his eyes on that sight and let a few words escape his clenched jaws.

“Was he defeated?”

Seeing Chen Fan was unharmed by his attack, Luo Changshen lowered his head. Shock and disbelief flickered in his eyes.

“Was he really defeated?” the Nin family Lord said with a sour face.

No one wanted to accept reality. Feng Ziqiu had fought against Heavenly Lord Astral Sea and was ranked at the top of the Longevity Roll. However, his full-on attack couldn’t even injure Chen Fan, much less kill him.

Some Feng family elders collapsed on the ground and shouted, “How is that possible? Ancestral Uncle Feng used to be Heavenly Lord Astral Sea’s equal; a household name in Beihuang Region. How could he be defeated by a Golden Core Cultivator, even while having the Heavenly Blade in his hand?”

Everyone in the Feng family, from elders to regular members wore troubled and embarrassed looks.

Feng Ziqiu was the most powerful man in the Feng family, yet he was defeated nonetheless. Many family lords wondered who could bring down Chen Fan if even Feng Ziqiu had failed.

Meanwhile, Mu Hongti and Yun Yier beamed from side to side and cheered for Chen Fan’s victory.

“Senior Chen is so powerful! Not even the Heavenly Blade could bring him down.”

“I told you so. Senior Chen is invincible!”

Lin Wuhua had put away her usual coldness and aloofness and flashed a warm and joyful smile. Zhao Juexian was also smiling; however, there was a hint of disappointment deep inside his eyes.

“Clang!”

The edge of the Heavenly Blade of Obliteration shattered with a crisp sound. It was knocked away, flying back a few hundred miles and sinking deep into the ground. On its way, it hacked open a three thousand meter mountain. Its crimson glow started to diminish by the second as the intensity of its surrounding Dark Gales waned.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan stood firmly, letting the wind play with his sleeves and hair.

It was as if his victory were not a big deal.

By then, it was apparent who the winner was.

“Brother Changshen, did he really win?”

Violet Moon Fairy was still grappling with reality.

An attack from a fully awakened Heavenly Treasure was so devastating that Violet Moon Fairy knew she wouldn’t last longer than a fraction of a second. However, Chen Fan had countered the attack using his body. What kind of power was that?

“The body of a Heavenly Lord is indestructible. That being said, if Feng Ziqiu really was a Heavenly Lord, he might have been able to injure Chen Fan. Unfortunately, he was not.”

Luo Changshen heaved a sigh.

Fueled by his eagerness for battle, a fire burned more intensely in his eyes as he spoke.

Chen Fan’s victory was set in stone.

Without the user, a Heavenly Treasure was just a lifeless object. However, even as Chen Fan walked over to the Heavenly Blade of Obliteration with the intention to pick it up, a faint glow emerged; the blade flew up and darted away.

“You want to escape?”

Chen Fan scoffed and went after the Heavenly Blade of Obliteration.

Before he went far, he sent a message to Lin Wuhua and Zhao Juexian to leave the battlefield. Most people’s attention was on Chen Fan, so no one had noticed that they were gone.

“The Heavenly Treasure tried to escape?”

Everyone was taken by surprise.

Everyone knew that Heavenly Treasures were powerful weapons that could undo anyone who was not a Heavenly Lord. However, no one had heard of any Heavenly Treasure that would escape danger by itself.

Luo Changshen shook his head and lamented, “No. It is Feng Ziqiu. He snuck his Divine Soul in the Heavenly Treasure to avoid damage. However, the weapon is in such a bad condition that he couldn’t fight back anymore.

“This Heavenly Treasure was forged using ten thousand metals and was infused with a Heavenly Lord’s power. It was the embodiment of a Heavenly Lord’s might. Chen Beixuan shouldn’t be able to destroy the Heavenly Treasure even if he became a Nascent Soul Cultivator.” Luo Changshen finished explaining as he looked to the Northwest.

“I think Feng Ziqiu is running to get home.”

His explanation made sense to a lot of those present.

They were shocked and terrified.

Chen Fan had not only defeated Feng Ziqiu; he also wanted to kill him.

“The Zilan State is in that direction. Chen Beixuan is going to storm into the Feng family territory.”

“No wonder they call him vengeful. Ever since the rise of Heavenly Lord Astral Sea, no one has dared to challenge a Heavenly Lord family. He would be the first one.”

“The Feng family is in trouble!” Many elders claimed.

Meanwhile, in the Feng family mansion…

A scrawny man with long hair stood in front of the water screen, face taut with fear. He was Feng Huhuang, Lord of the Feng family.

The Feng family had been dealt a devastating blow. They had lost an Ancestral Chief and made a deadly enemy. Fortunately, the Heavenly Blade of Obliteration made it back.

All the members of the Feng family were seized by a mix of anger and fear.

The Heavenly Lord Families had gotten used to the safety at the top of the food chain. This sense of safety had turned into complacency and arrogance. They believed that no one could ever harm them, since any affront would imply going against a Heavenly Lord.

In their eyes, Chen Fan was no more important than a servant. They would forever pin Chen Fan under their thumb as long as he wasn’t a Heavenly Lord.

“Insolence! He defeated Ancestral Uncle Feng, and now he is after our entire family?”

“Turn on the Grand Array and summon my legions. Let’s show him the might of a Heavenly Lord Family.”

“I agree! We can’t take his insult.”

Many Feng family members and elders fumed.

The third elder Feng Wushang stepped forward and asked, “My lord, what should we do?”

“We will teach Chen Beixuan a lesson if he shows up,” Ninth Elder Feng Wuyan also put in hotly.

A Heavenly Lord Family would enjoy mustering a heavy clout in any region.

Although none of them were Chen Fan’s worthy opponents, the situation would greatly favor them if the battlefield was on their Ancestral ground. Over the last ten thousand years, the Feng family had set many secret arrays and traps all over the Ancestral ground. This would even deter a Heavenly Lord from entering.

Someone sneered and said, “I don’t even think he’s smart enough to locate our Ancestral ground.”

Despite their fear for Chen Fan’s power, they were confident in their defense.

“An Ancestral Chief from the Feng family tried to assassinate Chen Beixuan with a Heavenly Treasure!”

“Chen Beixuan overpowered a Heavenly Treasure with his bare hands and defeated both Feng Ziqiu and Heavenly Blade of Obliteration.”

“Chen Beixuan is heading toward the Feng family territory now.”

Many cultivators followed this battle and they spread the news all over the Beihuang region.

That battle had been so epic that some people called it the battle of heaven.

The two had leveled mountains and changed the course of the river, laying waste to a large swath of land in the State of Ancient Medicine. Everyone who witnessed the battle felt they were watching a fight between two gods.

“Chen Beixuan’s power has far exceeded any Golden Core Cultivator. He could easily crush Ancestral Patriarchs as if they were insects.”

“Since when did our Beihuang homeland produce such a mighty figure? He reminds me of Jun Aochen and Li Huaixian who sat at the top of the Longevity Roll.”

“Not even a Heavenly Treasure was able to subdue him.”

Countless people marveled at Chen Fan’s power.

Meanwhile, the news filled the Perfected Cultivator Xuannu and the Sanshan Sect Master with fear. Moments before, they had been calculating their next move, wondering if they should put Fang Yan into confinement as they had promised.

At the moment they hoped that they could jail Fang Yan for ten thousand years just in case Chen Fan decided to extend the punishment to everyone related to Fang Yan on a whim.

A lot of cultivators were floored, overwhelmed with fear after hearing that Chen Fan had gone after the Feng family.

“Heavenly Lord Families have lorded over the Beihuang Region for ten thousand years. No one would ever dare to ruffle their feathers. I think Chen Beixuan’s action is too much.”

“Just so. Heavenly Lord Families are powerful forces to be reckoned with.”

“It’s too early to say that. Chen Beixuan could ward off the attack of a Heavenly Treasure, he might be able to bring the Feng family to their knees.”

Everyone focused their attention on the Feng family.

The Heavenly Lord Family had stayed in the seat of power for too long; many people rooted for Chen Fan, wanting to see the families fall.

However, even the most optimistic person thought that Chen Fan could at most force the Feng family to apologize; eliminating the whole family would be too optimistic a plan. They thought no one could do that, not even the Wang family’s Heavenly Lord.

Meanwhile, the air in the Alchemy Guild was filled with a mix of complicated feelings.

Elder Situ and the Guild Master both fell into deep thoughts.

A long sigh was heard coming from the Wu family territory in Zhenhai City.

“Atta boy! He’s going to rule the Beihuang Region from now on.”

The Wu family sisters grew silent after hearing this.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan was closely following the Heavenly Blade of Obliteration.

Swish!

The dark wash of light ripped across the sky. It’s sharp tip easily penetrated the air as it reached ten times the speed of sound.

However Chen Fan was hot on its heels. Each step he took summoned a golden path under his foot. The path even led Chen Fan into the Dimensional Storm, but it remained closely behind the Heavenly Blade of Obliteration.

“Damn it!” Feng Ziqiu screamed in his mind.

He didn’t expect to fail, much less the annihilation of his body. His Divine Soul had sustained heavy injuries so he was forced to turtle inside the Heavenly Blade of Obliteration. He would never fully recover his power, but survival was his top priority at the moment.

“Chen Beixuan, you have ruined my cultivation. I will make you pay for this!”

Hatred burned more intensely in his eyes. He doubled down on his escape and disappeared into thin air.

Chen Fan stopped and looked into the distance.

He saw a great city on a mountain above the clouds. A dark wash of light flickered and flew into the city.

It was the City of Neverwind, the home city of the Feng family.
