Chapter 936 Attack of a Hundred Mountains
“Boom!”
Chen Fan’s presence had awakened this city.
Enormous Dharma Forms appeared outside of the city, each blooming like a Lotus flower. Azure and dark light flashed and Divine Beasts roared. Countless auspicious signs were seen. Marriages of great cities flickered; illusions of planets’ rise and fall; an apparition of a black dragon swallowed the sky... Each display represented a powerful Dharma Array.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The Beihan Region’s Royal city had eighteen Dharma Arrays and it was considered to be impenetrable. However, the City of Neverwind had hundreds of such arrays, each carefully crafted by elite array masters.
Any of those Dharma Arrays would spell trouble for a Golden Core Cultivator, much less when there were a hundred of them protecting the city.
However, Chen Fan was unfazed by this. Keeping an impassive face, Chen Fan was going to step into the City of Neverwind.
“Cultivator Chen, hold on for a second.”
A streak of light flew out from the City of Neverwind and reached the sky. An old man in a black outfit appeared.
The elder was tall and lean, with eyes glinting like a bird of prey as Powerful energy emanated out from him. He was the Feng family’s Lord Feng Huhuang. He turned to face Chen Fan and said with a serious face, “The Feng family had no quarrel with you. Why would you do this?”
“No quarrel? You have tried to assassinate me many times. Feng Ziqiu attacked me using the Heavenly Blade of Obliteration during my tribulation. You call that unworthy of a quarrel? ” Chen Fan was amused by the reply.
“What are you talking about? My Ancestral Uncle Feng Ziqiu passed away thousands of years ago. The Heavenly Blade of Obliteration is our family’s Heavenly Treasure; it has been kept inside the Ancestral Master Temple for thousands of years. I believe you must have been misguided by others,” Feng Huhuang said while feigning a pained look.
“I saw the Heavenly Blade of Obliteration disappear inside the city. Are you questioning my eyes?” Chen Fan said and narrowed his eyes.
“It has to be a misunderstanding. Our family’s conniving enemies must have poisoned your ear, trying to frame my family,” Feng Huhuang pulled a taut face and said, “Cultivator Chen, you are the Elixir Monarch, please don’t be fooled by these despicable scoundrels.”
“Very well then. Just turn off the Dharma Array and let me enter your ancestral ground to make sure the Heavenly Blade of Obliteration is still there,” Chen Fan said lightly.
“That is not possible. The Heavenly Blade of Obliteration is my family treasure. Other than the Family Lord and Grand Elders, no one else is allowed to touch it,” Feng Huhuang shook his head and refused.
“It’s not up to you to decide what I can or cannot do.”
Chen Fan cracked a smile and took a step forward. An azure energy was spread out under his feet. It shot forward and rammed into the Grand Arrays.
“What is the meaning of this? Do you want to barge into my city?”
Feng Huhuang’s face grew cold.
“Chen Beixuan, let me remind you that the Feng family is a mighty Heavenly Lord Family. We possess power that is beyond even your wildest imagination. I will say this again: you have been misguided by my scheming enemies who want us to fight. Don’t give them what they want. Peace is still an option if you stop now. Otherwise, we will annihilate you, Elixir Monarch Chen.”
“Boom!”
Even as Feng Huhuang spoke, rays of powerful energy surged into the sky.
Those energy pulses belonged to individuals much more powerful than those with Golden Cores. Their overbearing presences pressured the residents of the city to the ground; they laid low, shaking. Countless Overlords readied their arms, waiting for Chen Fan.
“Would you shut up?”
Chen Fan snorted and flicked a finger. Suddenly, Feng Huhuang’s body exploded in mid air.
“Chen Beixuan! How dare you!” an angry shout came out of Neverwind.
Chen Fan had destroyed one of Feng Huhuang’s copies. The real Feng Huhuang stood deep inside the Feng Family’s Ancestral ground and was watching Chen Fan through a magic mirror. He couldn’t believe that Chen Fan had disregarded his placating words.
Chen Fan took another step and arrived at the top of the city. His eyes shined with a bright light.
This battle of one versus an entire family was about to start.
Countless cultivators watched the battle from outside of Neverwind.
They included not only the sects and family clans from the Zilan State, but also others from the entire Beihuang Region.
The Elder from the Wu Family, Wu Wenchan, exclaimed wistfully, “He’s going to take on an entire family. We haven’t seen such a battle since Wang Xinhe rose to power.”
“Ancestral Patriarch, do you think Elixir Monarch will win?” Wu Qinyan asked.
“Heavenly Lord Families are unthinkably powerful. The Feng family has lorded over the City of Neverwind for ten thousand years, and must have shored up significant defenses during such a long period of time. Although Chen Fan wields an impossible amount of power and is able to counter a Heavenly Treasure with bare hands, I don’t think he could easily sack the City of Neverwind,” Wu Wendin shook his head and said, “However, neither do I think that the Feng Family is able to harm him. I think that the Feng Family will have to give up and succumb to Chen Fan in the end.”
The Wu Family members were shocked by the answer.
Not even a Heavenly Lord Family could defend against Chen Fan’s provocation... What could they do if they were in the Feng family’s shoes? The thought filled many Wu Family members’ hearts with despair.
Their despair was shared by many other families.
The Nin Family, the Hu family and many other sect masters had arrived at the same conclusion about the outcome of the battle.
The Feng family had fortified the city’s defenses for ten thousand years. As powerful as Chen Fan was, he was not a Heavenly Lord and couldn’t do the impossible.
“Even if he couldn’t take out the Feng family, he would be able to force the Feng Family to their knees. That will make him the second strongest man in the Beihuang Region, right after Heavenly Lord Astral Sea,” Many people exclaimed.
However, Chen Fan didn’t share their opinion.
He looked down at the city in the clouds with an indifferent expression.
Feng Huhuang’s voice reverberated above the city, “Chen Beixuan, if you back down now, I will forgive your impudence as well as the death of Yuqiu. We could amicably part ways. Otherwise, I will awaken the Ancestral Patriarchs and show you the might of a Heavenly Lord Family.”
“Hand over Feng Ziqiu and Heavenly Blade of Obliteration, or die,” Chen Fan said calmly.
“Jerk!”
“Enough!”
“Dream on!”
Countless curses rose from the City of Neverwind.
Chen Fan heard the roaring of the black dragon as the illusions of celestial bodies started to move. The world in front of Chen Fan turned darker as time and space lost their meaning. Countless dark gales burst out of the gate to the underworld and ripped across space, snarling and roaring.
Chen Fan reckoned that the Grand Array inside Neverwind had been initiated. It surrounded the city with powerful energy that would swallow a Golden Core Cultivator within seconds.
However, Chen Fan was still unfazed. He stood firmly; his body was suffused with an azure glow that warded against the harmful energies.
“Do you really think you’re safe behind your turtle shell?” Chen Fan cracked a smile and said, “I will show you the real meaning of strength.”
Chen Fan extended a hand and closed his fingers.
“Boom!”
Under many shocked stares, a ten thousand meter tall mountain rose from the ground and soared into the sky. Then it landed heavily on the city of Neverwind.
“What?”
Feng Wuyan and the other elders were petrified.
The mountain was larger than a city, and yet, Chen Fan had snatched it up with one hand and hurled it at them. The impact would be as devastating as a metroid strike.
“Boom!”
The mountain plunged into the City of Neverwind.
Suddenly, countless Dharma Arrays took effect. Chen Fan saw a fiery phoenix shrieking at the sky; powerful Sword Qi bore down onto the mountain; a black dragon soared, trying to lift the weight of the mountain. Those Dharma Arrays held the weight of the mountain for a second, but quickly gave in.
This was only the beginning.
“Second mountain.”
“Third.”
“Fourth.”
Chen Fan seemed to possess Divine Forces befitting of a legendary Heavenly Immortal. He was able to lift a mountain with the wave of a hand, and in a blink, he had summoned hundreds of mountains, then slammed them against the city of Neverwind.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The impact gained frequency and vigor.
Although the Dharma Arrays over the city of Neverwind could ward off the attacks of a Heavenly Lord, the relentless pummeling seemed to be too much. Chen Fan had showered the city with his raw power. Not even a Heavenly Lord could have held his ground against such a relentless onslaught, much less those at the Golden Core.
“This is a true display of a Heavenly Lord’s might.”
Many onlookers were stunned.
Golden Core Cultivators were able to tap into the energy found in nature, however, they couldn’t lift a huge mountain. It blew everyone’s mind to see Chen Fan continuously hurling mountains at the city.
“Crack, crack.”
Layers of Dharma Arrays took effect to defend against the brute force, and one after another, they exploded. After being pummeled by over a hundred mountains, only a third of the Dharma Arrays remained.
“Phew!”
Even as Feng Huhuang was heaving a sigh of relief, he watched as Chen Fan closed his fingers and hammered down at the city.
“Those mountains were only an appetizer. This is my real attack!”
At first, the punch was ordinary, however, with each inch forward, its power surged and multiplied. By the end, the earth shook and the sky moaned under unthinkable pressure. The giant fist had filled up all the space in between Heaven and Earth, ready to crush everything.
“Boom!”
The City of Neverwind crumbled like an egg under the immeasurable weight of the punch. Everything inside the city was turned into dust.
No one survived the brutal attack.
The development terrorized the onlookers.
