Chapter 1127: One Slash!
“The Ancestral Patriarch of the Gold Clan really said that?”
“Yes, a few divisions of the North Qiong Sect in South America have already been leveled by the Golden Core Overlords of the Gold Clan. I heard that the Ancestral Patriarch of the Gold Clan is ready to head to the North Qiong Sect to settle the scores with them.”
“The people of the North Qiong Sect are doomed.”
Some people felt sorry for them; some snickered, some just watched this as a drama and some were thrilled.
The entire Internet was in chaos. Following the arrival of dozens of forces, Chen Fan and the North Qiong Sect weren’t the only powerful beings on Earth anymore. After the arrival of the Heavenly Lords from Planet Huosang, Planet Yangu and Planet Blue, all of them went to meet Heavenly Lord Anpo. They called themselves his juniors and acted like they were his disciples. Even the Ancestral Patriarch of the Gold Clan was respectful to him, not daring to be rude. Everyone then realized Heavenly Lord Anpo was truly a famous cultivation senior in several parts of the universe.
Someone had even claimed that Heavenly Lord Anpo was only half a step away from becoming a Soul Formation Cultivator, to reach the level of Divine Lord Jiang.
That would be too terrifying.
How powerful was Divine Lord Jiang? Even the top Divine General of Divine Lord Tatian, Mangya, would have been unable to deal with him. He couldn’t be described as a normal late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator. Regardless of those on Planet Tianhuang, Heavenly Lord Anpo was almost the top cultivator in the entire Abandoned Planet Region.
A disciple of Anpo even snorted. “I told you my Master is superior. We asked Chen Beixuan, a Golden Core Cultivator, to come to meet Master, but he didn’t show up. So now, Master would certainly not let this alone.”
A few disciples from Planet Tianlan also said they wouldn’t intervene.
The Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords of the other planets also stood aside. The Gold Clan was a battling force to them. Earth was a planet they had carved up, so they surely didn’t want a troublemaker like Chen Fan.
The world was worried.
One night.
A giant golden hand that was an acre large appeared above Chu Zhou City, crashing down on Yun Wu Mountain. While it was still ten thousand meters away from the ground, its terrifying energy was felt; the water in Yan Gui Lake shook with the pressure. Many ordinary people or low-level cultivators had even knelt on the ground. They couldn’t withstand such a horrifying energy.
“It’s a Nascent Soul Cultivator! The Ancestral Patriarch of the Gold Clan is attacking!” someone yelled.
“Slash!”
On the peak of Yun Wu Mountain, A’Xiu was standing on top of the North Qiong Pavilion with a broken sword in her hand. She slashed at the sky coldly. An unbelievably bright and sharp blade aura struck, leaving a deep mark on that golden hand.
“Poof!”
Countless drops of blood with golden glitter fell from the sky, as if it were raining blood.
Argh!
There was a heavy cry in the sky and an angry voice came out from the clouds, “The North Qiong Sect will fight with the Gold Clan till the end.”
A’Xiu slashed a second time as a response.
Boom!
The silver white Sword Qi flashed in the sky, gathering a few hundred flying swords that looked like the bright stars in space. They dived into the void and chased opponents in the sky. There was blood and flesh all over within a range of dozens of miles around Chu Zhou City. A half an arm made with gold that was dozens of feet long was cut off in the sky and it fell, creating a giant pit on the ground.
The Ancestral Patriarch of the Gold Clan screamed as he flashed to the east.
News about that battle almost spread across the world at the speed of light and the whole Earth was astonished. The Ancestral Patriarch of the Gold Clan attacked the North Qiong Sect and he lost? Someone even heard from cultivators of other planets that an Ancestral Patriarch of the Gold Clan had been severely injured. One of his arms had been cut off.
“The sword array of the North Qiong Sect is so strong. Even though Chen Beixuan is not here and it’s controlled by a little girl, it’s extremely powerful, enough to kill Nascent Soul Cultivators!” someone exclaimed.
Many foreign forces and consortiums that showed up were immediately terrified; none dared to say anything. Even the disciples of other planets became pale.
“We’ve underestimated the North Qiong Sect. Considering those two slashes, that array can already be regarded as a peak-stage Heavenly Array, or even one with a higher level. It can be listed as a Half Divine Array,” said Heavenly Lord Yaron of Planet Expedition.
“It’s just a sword array. It can only protect one region. Can it protect places outside of Yun Wu Mountain as well?” The others grunted.
As expected.
Someone soon destroyed a branch of the North Qiong Sect in Southeast Asia. Although the North Qiong Sect had already started evacuating their members in the rest of the world, there wasn’t enough time and there were still a lot of disciples in other countries. They were immediately met with disaster.
“Boom!”
The full-power attack of a peak-stage Golden Core Cultivator was like a small-scale nuclear weapon. It destroyed a mountain; killing a few hundred outer sect disciples and officers of the North Qiong Sect who were still inside.
“The North Qiong Sect is just like an ant. Next,” said a cultivator from another planet, who was enveloped in black fog, and whose face couldn’t be seen clearly.
Japan, Myanmar, Korea, Australia, Southeast Asia…
Many divisions were destroyed one after another.
The branches the North Qiong Sect built around the world in the past six months had just become weak spots and centers of their enemies’ attacks. Countless disciples and innocent people died almost every second.
Those cultivators from other planets didn’t care if people were members of the North Qiong Sect. Their attacks could level a city or a village and kill thousands of people. Humans around the world could only clench their fists with hatred in their eyes as they saw this. Those who were members of the North Qiong Sect even started crying.
In Okinawa, East Sea.
Bang!
An Overlord enveloped in a golden aura reached out cruelly and formed a hundred-foot hand, in an attempt to smash the North Qiong Tower in the center of the city to pieces.
“You ants, Chen Beixuan is the one to blame. He provoked the Gold Clan and that’s a capital offense!”
While he was yelling coldly and was about to smack the North Qiong Tower.
“Swish!”
A blade aura appeared in the sky and immediately penetrated the Overlord with a golden aura, splitting his body in half from his head to his feet. Even his Divine Soul and Golden Core inside him were crushed by the Sword Qi.
“A flying sword?” There was a vague exclamation in the air.
That flying sword disappeared immediately.
Not only in Okinawa.
Around the entire world, all the cultivators from other planets who dared to attack the North Qiong Sect were killed by the flying sword at the same time. A hidden Nascent Soul Cultivator wanted to take the opportunity to catch that flying sword, but a few hundred flying swords suddenly appeared in the sky. Under the lead of a flying sword that had the level of a Heavenly Treasure, those swords had almost killed that Nascent Soul Overlord as well.
The Sky Galaxy Array was supported by nine swords at the Heavenly Treasure level, which were able to kill nine Nascent Soul Cultivators at the same time when released! The sword array would cover wherever the Sword Qi reached on the entire Earth.
At that moment.
The world was astonished.
Everyone was frightened by the power of the Sky Galaxy Array.
To think there was such a terrifying sword array. No wonder Chen Fan left without worries. Ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators would be unable to resist the Sky Galaxy Array. While the cultivators of the other planets felt hopeless and the Gold Clan was fearful, Heavenly Lord Anpo, who hadn’t spoken for a while, suddenly spoke.
“The North Qiong Sect’s array looks quite similar to my old friend’s ‘Northern Dipper Sword Array.’ I wonder if Heavenly Lord Chen got it from my friend or if he stole it along with other tactics. Please dispel my doubts.”
“What?”
The world was startled after hearing this. Was Heavenly Lord Anpo saying that Chen Fan had stolen his old friend’s Northern Dipper Sword Array?
A’Xiu was so furious her face became flushed. She shouted, “This is the ‘Sky Galaxy Array’ my Master created it by himself. It’s a secret array of his sect and is completely different from the ‘Northern Dipper Sword Array.’”
“That’s right. You’re just bluffing, Anpo! You said they look similar. Then, show us the ‘Northern Dipper Sword Array.’”
Anpo didn’t reply to her. He just said calmly, “If Heavenly Lord Chen won’t answer, I’ll have to go into the North Qiong Sect in person. This is about my friend’s legacy. I must do this.”
Then.
He really moved, driving the old bronze ship and turning into a beam of light in the sky. He landed on the top of Yun Wu Mountain, putting pressure on the North Qiong Sect. Planet Tianlan had sent an extremely powerful line-up. There were three Nascent Soul Cultivators and dozens of Golden Core Cultivators. That old ship was a few hundred feet long and was covered with a metallic glow, as if the God of War had just arrived.
Anpo went there in person.
Nobody knew exactly how powerful that top cultivator of the Abandoned Planet Region was.
Even A’Xiu felt a heavy heart. Although she had faith in Chen Fan, she started to doubt if the Sky Galaxy Array would be enough to deal with Anpo.
“Since Heavenly Lord Chen isn’t here, can you please hand over the array map on behalf of Sect Master, so I can identify if it’s my friend’s ‘Northern Dipper Sword Array?’” Anpo was still looking nice at the moment. He spoke while his white hair and beard fluttered.
“Don’t even think about it!” A’Xiu replied to him with a slash.
But when the Sword Qi reached dozens of feet away from Heavenly Lord Anpo, it dissipated. The terrifying Sword Qi that was able to kill Nascent Soul Cultivators seemed to be useless at the moment.
“He’s indeed the top cultivator of the Abandoned Planet Region.” Many people in the audience watching that scene through live-broadcasts gasped.
“Don’t be so stubborn, A’Xiu,” Anpo said gently as his robe and sleeves fluttered in the wind like a Deity in the clouds.
“Kill!”
A’Xiu slashed dozens of times at once and the other Golden Core Cultivators of the North Qiong Sect also took out their Dharma Artifacts, turning into countless rays of light to attack.
But Heavenly Lord Anpo only flicked his sleeve gently and swept all the Sword Qi and Dharma Artifacts aside. He made every move calmly; the way he did it so effortlessly made everyone’s heart sink.
“This guy’s Dharma Power seems to be more terrifying than Master’s!”
Even A’Xiu was in despair.
When she gritted her teeth, and was about to take out the Blade Strengthening Gourd to fully activate the Sky Galaxy Array, and to awake all 9999 flying swords to kill Anpo.
Suddenly—
A beam of bright silver light flashed across the air like a flying sword.
“Poof!”
Anpo was immediately startled when he saw the blade aura and he quickly flashed dozens of feet away, but the bronze ship below him was unable to escape. Following a banging sound, it was split in half by the blade aura of the Flying Deity. Dozens of Golden Core Cultivators turned into blood mist.
“Who’s that? Chen Beixuan?” Anpo looked in the distance with stern eyes. His sleeves had also been cut off by the blade aura, which made him feel terrified. If he hadn’t dodged quickly enough just then, he would have died with that sword attack.
The three Nascent Soul Cultivators, including Xing Hu and Xuanlong, even took to the sky, as if they were facing their biggest enemy.
“You’re not worthy of Heavenly Lord Chen’s attack!”
A soft voice was heard. A woman dressed like a court lady—who was pretty as a painting and moved like a green lotus—walked in the sky with a bronze sword in her arms.
She was only a Golden Core Cultivator.
But behind her—
One, two, three… Eight Nascent Soul Cultivators walked out. Their fierce energy was exuded, sweeping over the entire world.
Earth was shocked!
