"What? One man defeated the Seven Great Religions? Even Tatian Shenjun was killed?" Tatian Shenjun was a legend he had heard of since childhood.
Still, Lin Yang had no reason to lie to him, so nineteen times out of twenty, this was true.
"Alas! My Chu Family has committed a grave error. I beg the Divine Lord not to implicate the family. I am willing to die by my own hand," the Chu Family Patriarch said sorrowfully.
Without waiting for Chen Fan to reply, he immediately took his own life. Naturally, he knew Chen Fan would never let him go. A Deity Transformation cultivator could not be insulted; as long as you were within his domain, speaking his true name would trigger karma.
Given his realm, he naturally knew how powerful a Deity Transformation cultivator was. It had taken him several millennia just to advance from Peak Nascent Soul to Half-Step Great Power, let alone reach actual Deity Transformation.
Achieving Deity Transformation was harder than ascending to the heavens. Even if he were granted another hundred thousand years without a fortuitous encounter, he still wouldn't be able to break through.
A difference of a single realm was like a chasm of a thousand miles.
Chen Fan remained expressionless. Killing a Chu Family Patriarch was of no consequence to him. The moniker Divine Lord Chen had been forged through slaughter all the way from the Wild Star Domain across the Lesser Southern Heaven Realm. Whether it was the ancestors of the Golden Race or the Blood Race, they were all Half-Step Great Powers; he had killed more Half-Step Deity Transformation cultivators than he had ever laid eyes on.
"If I had known this would happen, why act as I did back then? Alas!" Lin Yang sighed mournfully. Faced with the death of an old friend, he could only sigh; he wouldn't dare seek revenge even if he were given ten times the courage.
By this time, Chen Fan and Lin Yang had descended from beyond the realm directly into the Chu Family estate.
"Chen Beixuan, where is our Patriarch?" Chu Xuanji demanded. Naturally, she refused to believe that Chen Beixuan could have struck down her family's Patriarch.
"Your Chu Family imprisoned my friend Chen Beixuan, so you deserve to die. As for your Patriarch, he is already dead."
As soon as these words were spoken, an uproar swept through the crowd.
The First Elder of the Chu Family even flew straight over, roaring, "I don't believe it! What kind of trickery did you use, Chen Beixuan?" With that, he raised his sword.
"Impudent!" With a flick of his finger, Chen Fan directly nailed him into the ground.
"Hiss!" The members of the Chu Family fell into dead silence. With such divine might, killing them all with a single slap would be a breeze, and they no longer dared to act presumptuously or raise their voices.
At that moment, someone noticed the person standing beside Chen Beixuan. "Who is that?"
"He looks a bit familiar... Hiss! It's Domain Lord Lin Yang!"
"What?"
"Domain Lord Lin Yang?"
"Everyone, your Patriarch is indeed dead. Please accept my condolences," Lin Yang said, genuinely terrified that Chen Fan would wipe out the entire Chu Family. In his Lin Yang Star Domain and Tiannan Star Province, the Chu Family was a renowned and powerful clan with countless Xiantian cultivators and hundreds of Golden Core masters. Chu Xuanji had even cultivated a High-grade Golden Core. As for a God-grade Golden Core? The entire Tiannan Star Province didn't have enough to fill the fingers of a single hand—only Chen Hao of the Chen Family Martial Arts Hall had successfully cultivated a "God-grade Golden Core".
"Enough, enough. Release Ye Qingcang and the others," the Second Elder of the Chu Family said helplessly.
A few Chu Family disciples carried Ye Qingcang and Hua Yunfeng forward. The two men were already at their last gasp. At this sight, a fierce cyan light surged in Chen Fan's eyes, and every single Chu Family disciple and elder was crushed to the ground by this overwhelming divine sense, forcing even Lin Yang to take half a step back.
"If the Chu Family fails to give me a satisfactory explanation today, even if your Patriarch were still alive, I would trample and destroy your entire Chu Family clan."
Hearing that domineering yet familiar voice, the heavily injured Hua Yunfeng slowly raised his head. "It's Teacher."
*In life, friends rarely meet, like the Morning Star and the Evening Star.*
"I never expected General Chen to save us once again. Alas, I can no longer see through his realm either. I originally thought that Immortal took us away to elevate us, and now we possess Mid-grade Golden Cores," Ye Qingcang said. He assumed Chen Beixuan was a reincarnated Peak Nascent Soul, little knowing that in his past life, Chen Beixuan had been a Tribulation Crossing Immortal Venerable—a realm that didn't see one birth in ten thousand years.
"I thought we had already traveled far, but Teacher is still as formidable as ever," Hua Yunfeng exclaimed in awe. He only guessed that his Teacher might be a reincarnated Deity Transformation cultivator; after all, in his memories, turning over a hand to annihilate a continent and reversing the sun and moon was something only that realm could achieve.
Just when you think you are about to catch up to him, he only climbs higher than before.
