Chapter 1070: Meeting A’Xiu

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chen Fan was extremely fast.

He spread his Immortal Will and locked his target in a heartbeat. The next second, he was above a building by a lake outside Qin Yang County. The lake was surrounded by Spirit Qi and was obviously a good place for cultivation. There was even a bamboo building next to it, full of elegance and tranquility.

But in this moment—

It was the backdrop of a battlefield.

Dozens of Connate Overlords were surrounding the bamboo building. Some of them were from the Dark Races and some were humans who spoke different languages. They were Overlords from Japan, Myanmar and Europe. They worked together to form an array and were trying to burn all the people at the lake and in the bamboo building to ashes with the Solar True Fire.

An old woman with white hair was struggling near the bamboo building.

She looked similar to A’Xiu, as if that girl had grown sixty years older.

Even though the energy exuded by the woman was more powerful when compared to that of any Connate Cultivator present, her power seemed to be blocked and she kept coughing. She seemed to have been seriously injured. If one could peer inside her body, her mind was enveloped by a ball of crimson energy. She was only able to release less than 20% of her energy. That layer of crimson energy was even absorbing her vitality, making her look older.

“Miss Xiu, just surrender. We had already found you a long time ago. We just had not caught you before. We thought we could find something else.”

“That’s right, Miss Xiu. You used to be powerful, only half a step away from the Golden Core Level. Unfortunately for you, you’ve even lost some of your powers and can only live for a few more years since our Ancestral Patriarch cast the ‘Poisonous Blood Curse’ on you. You’re already so old. Why are you still resisting?”

“Haha, I’m so happy to see the former Chief of the North Qiong Sect in this state.”

A few Connate Cultivators of the alien races taunted her.

That woman was A’Xiu.

Even if she was spurting out blood and her back was bent, she still looked determined and wasn’t planning to yield. “The North Qiong Sect will never surrender! My Master will take revenge for me someday.”

“Ha, Chen Beixuan? He’s been dead for many years. He went to Planet Tianhuang, the most powerful planet in the entire Abandoned Planet Region. They once had Soul Formation Cultivators and there are many imperishable sects. I heard that there are more than thirty Nascent Soul Cultivators. Even our Ancestral Patriarch is scared when talking about that place. Chen Beixuan is only a Golden Core Cultivator, there’s no way he can survive! Do you still think he would return?”

A Kindred in a golden robe snickered.

“You know where Master went?” A’Xiu was shocked.

“Of course, you people on Earth wouldn’t know Planet Tianhuang, but our Ancestral Patriarch knows how terrifying the planet is. Even all the cultivators on the home planets of all the alien races working together are no match to those on Planet Tianhuang. That’s the top planet in the Abandoned Planet Region. Not even Deities from the Star Ocean would dare to provoke them.

“Do you think Chen Beixuan is still alive after going to a planet region like that?”

In the end.

The aliens all burst into laughter.

A’Xiu immediately pulled a long face and her eyes didn’t have any vitality anymore. She didn’t want to believe it, but she knew those aliens had no need to lie to her.

“Master, did you really die on Planet Tianhuang?”

A’Xiu was devastated.

Then—

A familiar voice was heard.

“Who said I died on Planet Tianhuang?”

There was then a clap of thunder and a beam of golden light arrived with some terrifying energy.

The entire lake collapsed three feet and countless aliens fell from the sky.

“Master?”

The white-haired woman looked at the golden light and saw a young man with black hair and black eyes, wearing a black outfit. He looked exactly like he was back then. Wasn’t that Chen Fan?

The Connate Overlords of the alien races and the other countries were immediately startled.

“Chen Beixuan, you’re still alive. How is that possible?”

That Kindred even looked like they had seen a ghost. “Didn’t you go to Planet Tianhuang? People in the Realm of Kunxu and the North Qiong Sect saw that with their own eyes. Why were you able to make it back alive? That’s Planet Tianhuang, a planet with imperishable sects and tons of Nascent Soul Cultivators…”

“Planet Tianhuang is nothing. I’ve even gone to the Deity Realm more than once. Besides, do I need to tell you where I’m going?” Chen Fan grunted. His heart ached as he looked at A’Xiu, who had white hair and tears all over her face.

That was his favorite disciple back then.

Before Chen Fan left Earth, A’Xiu wasn’t even twenty-five and she had become a Connate Cultivator. She was like a sick old lady at the moment, and was even being bullied by a group of ants. How could Chen Fan not be angry?

His viciousness became concrete and swept the world, freezing the air in an area with a ten mile radius.

“Run.”

The Connate Cultivators of the alien races and the Overlords from Japan, Myanmar and the United States turned into rays of light and escaped in all directions. Chen Beixuan seemed to be much more terrifying after ten years had passed.

“Hm, do you think you can escape?”

Chen Fan sneered.

He gazed in the air.

Then, everything in a ten mile range froze solid, including the Essence Qi, plants, lake and humans. Chen Fan stomped his foot gently in front of the startled look of the Connate Cultivators.

“Boom!”

At that moment, the world shook slightly.

Countless ripples spread in different directions with Chen Fan’s feet as the epicenter. All the cultivators of the alien races that touched the ripples were instantly torn to little bits like broken mirrors. Even if they put their bodies back together, the cracks could still be clearly seen.

Chen Fan shocked the dimension and created dimensional storms.

Those Connate Cultivators were unable to withstand the power of the storms and were immediately torn to pieces.

“Ah, Chen Beixuan, our Ancestral Patriarch will never let you get away with this…!”

Drops of blood came down from the sky and countless pieces of limbs fell. Some of their Divine Souls weren’t destroyed right away and were still screaming.

But Chen Fan waved his hand and immediately crushed all the remaining Divine Souls, killing all the cultivators for good. Then he flew down and approached the old woman.

“A’Xiu, I’m late.”

A’Xiu didn’t say anything, but her old face was covered in tears.

When Chu Minhui and Tang Yifei rushed to the lake, they saw dozens of human-shaped pits and Chen Yaoyao who was cleaning up.

“Yaoyao, where’s Perfected Cultivator Chen and your Auntie Xiu?” Chu Minhui asked anxiously.

“I don’t know. Uncle took Auntie Xiu to the bamboo building to deal with her injuries,” Chen Yaoyao said.

She had already figured out who Chen Fan was and was extremely excited. That was the Sect Master of the North Qiong Sect whom she admired the most! He was Perfected Cultivator Chen who passed down the “True Martial Thirty-Six Forms,” and was her uncle to boot.

“Hm, from now on, I also have someone backing me!”

The little girl was thrilled.

But she was still anxious when she thought about Auntie Xiu coughing and her face full of wrinkles. “I’m not sure if uncle can save Auntie Xiu or not. I only want Auntie Xiu to live longer. Then, I’ll make something good for my uncle to eat every day.”

Even though the girl was young, she knew the curse cast on A’Xiu was insidious.

That Ancestral Patriarch had only cast a spell ten thousand miles away, but it was so powerful it made Auntie Xiu spurt out blood. In the end, she was turned into an old woman and had only a few years left to live.

Not only her.

Even Chu Minhui and Tang Yifei knew.

They had been protecting A’Xiu all these years and they had also thought about curing her, but no doctors or alchemists could deal with it. That was a curse from the Ancestral Patriarch of the Kindred.

Although nobody knew for sure which level that Ancestral Patriarch was at, it had to at least be the peak stage of the Golden Core Level or above. Could Chen Fan really remove the curse from such an Overlord?

“Ah, I wanted to stop him just then, but Perfected Cultivator Chen was too fast. What should we do now?” Tang Yifei looked at the human-shaped pits and heaved a sigh.

Not only did the Connate Cultivators of the alien races were killed there, but also those from countries like Japan, Myanmar and the United States.

Dozens of Connate Cultivators had died in one go.

That was an earth-shattering feat!

Even Chu Minhui looked a bit worried. Chen Fan was indeed too reckless. He didn’t know how dangerous Earth was right that moment. It wasn’t the same planet where he was unstoppable anymore, when he was able to suppress the Grotto-heavens and alien races by himself.

“I’ll talk to Perfected Cultivator Chen when I have the chance,” Tang Yifei whispered.

After she finished speaking, she looked up with a terrified face.

“This is…” Chu Minhui said with a serious look.

“Thunder Tribulation!”

Yes, Golden Core Thunder Tribulation!

A part of the sky which had a three hundred mile radius became a sea of lightning. Countless thunderbolts struck and formed azure lightning dragons, flying across the clouds.

Claps of thunder resounded in a hundred mile range.

What would it be if it wasn’t the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation?

“Is uncle going to form a Golden Core?” Chen Yaoyao opened her mouth wide in shock.

“No… It’s your Auntie Xiu,” Tang Yifei said as she looked at Chu Minhui. They both saw their shared astonishment.

A’Xiu’s power was restored and even increased in a blink, and she was about to go through the Thunder Tribulation? Besides, the thunderclouds didn’t seem to have an end.

It would probably not be an inferior-grade or a mid-grade Golden Core, but a legendary superior-grade Golden Core!

In fact, Chu Minhui and the others had underestimated A’Xiu.

A’Xiu went through nine Thunder Tribulations altogether and formed a ninth-grade Golden Core. In the end, she was halfway through the Divine Thunder Tribulation, but couldn’t truly complete a divine-grade Golden Core, which was a shame in Chen Fan’s opinion.

However, A’Xiu was satisfied. Her curse had been removed. She restored her power and even went through the Thunder Tribulation, looking like a seventeen-year-old again.

Chen Fan asked the three of them to go inside and said, “A’Xiu, what happened to the North Qiong Sect? Why did Xiao Qiong and my parents disappear? Where’s Yukishiro Sa? Why are you the only one left here?”

A’Xiu then spoke slowly.
