Chapter 530 - The Battle of a Century (1/2)
Chapter 530 The Battle of a Century
Lin Shuming and Chen Beixuan were both the most powerful overlords of the world, and they were going to have a showdown.
Most people who heard the news were shocked beyond belief. Lin Shuming had been cultivating in seclusion for sixty years, and as soon as he was out of his seclusion, he had proven his power by crus.h.i.+ng an Immortal State Warrior during a fight. Based on his performance, a lot of people believed that he could take on at least three Immortal State Warriors at the same time.
On the other hand, Chen Beixuan was no slouch on the battlefield either.
The news from Singapore indicated that Chen Beixuan had only unleashed two punches and two palm strikes.
The first palm strike had killed Wu Guanchao, and the two punches ended the lives of Daxin and his pet snake. The last palm strike had quashed Sohabi into smithereens.
His incredible abilities gave him the appearance of a divine sage.
He had brought the Immortal State Warriors to heels so easily as if they were insects.
“Not even Ye Qincang had such incredible powers fifty years ago when he faced off seven Immortal State Warriors,” someone exclaimed.
For the longest time, Ye Qincang was considered the most powerful man in China.
He had dominated China and forced many Immortal State Warriors into hidings. He had used the Kunlun Units and expelled many powerful sects out of China. In the end, seven Immortal State Warriors joined forces to rose up against him, but their counter strike was quashed by Ye Qincang.
Both Lin Shuming and Chen Fan had displayed more power than Ye Qincang fifty years ago.
“This is going to be one of those momentous events that happen once every hundred years. It is going to be even more stunning than that between Lin Shuming and Watanabe, or the Ancestral Patriarch of the Hua Family. History will forever remember this fight.”
Many grandmasters could no longer hold back their excitement, so they rushed to Zhong Hai to witness this fight of the century.
Lin Shuming had barged into the Chen family to seek to avenge for the death of Lin Langya and Lin Puojun. This was going to be a fight to the death, and there should be only one fighter living at the end of the battle.
Kaboom!
Someone claimed that they had seen a flash of lightning at the top of the Dragon Tiger Mountain.
From the flash of lightning, an old man wearing an outfit with a symbol of Eight Trigrams printed on it emerged. His hair was messy and unruly, and he was holding a Thunder Seal tightly as he charged toward the East Sea.
Many people also saw another old man dressed in a Daoist outfit at the peak of the Wu Dang mountain. The old man stepped over the edge of a cliff but instead of falling to his death, he continued ambling forward while walking on air. Meanwhile, a Tibetan monk with a kind face boarded a plane, leaving his entourage staring at him on the tarmac; some of them were chanting an ancient sutra.
The fight had not only caught the attention of grandmasters and martial artists but also the curmudgeons.
Meanwhile, the users on a martial arts forum had all boiled over.
[OMG! I feel like history is repeating itself. What happened a hundred years ago is happening again in the exact same way. Only a couple of years ago, even a grandmaster was a rare sight.]
[This battle is as momentous now as it would have been if it happened a hundred years ago. Chen Beixuan and Lin Shuming would have been strong contenders for the top three spots on the Divine Roll a hundred years ago.]
[One was the most powerful swordsman in China and the other… an outright freak. Who would win?]
Posts and comments such as these sprouted out all of a sudden.
[The winner must be Chen Beixuan. He had killed six Immortal State Warriors by now. That’s more than the average number of Immortal State Warriors on each continent.]
[Not necessarily. Lin Shuming had been cultivating in seclusion for sixty years, and he must have already reached Earth Level Deity. I think he had purposefully held back his power in front of us.]
[Does Earth Level Deity really exist? I thought it was just a myth.]
Everyone deliberated with each other about the development.
The focus of their discussion was whether or not Lin Shuming had reached Earth Level Deity.
Earth Level Deity had always been a myth. The only written record of such a level of attainment was a thousand years old.
The only proven case of an Earth Level Deity was Sword Secret the Exalted Cultivator. The mighty warriors came after him, such as Zhang Sanfeng from Wu Dang Sect, the Great Magus from the Dark Witch Sect, Lin Shuming, and Chen Beixuan, and none of them was proven to be Earth Level Deity.
The last Earth Level Deity in the west was St. Augustine, who died almost two thousand years ago.
Therefore, not a lot of people believed in the existence of the Earth Level Deity.
Meanwhile, inside the base of Kunlun.
“Humph! Not even the Great Magus could reach Earth Level Deity, I doubt Lin Shuming was able to pull it off. ”
An old man wearing military fatigues snorted. He linked his hands behind his back and kept his back as straight as jack pine.
Director Xiao stood beside the old man and forced a smile onto his face. The energy flowing around the old man was much more powerful than that of the Ancestral Patriarch of Hong Sect.
Meanwhile, a man wearing an azure outfit with dragon images on it stood behind the old man and chimed in from time to time. He called the old man “Teacher.”
Meanwhile, at Mount Foguang at Taiwan Province…
A girl with refined features wearing all white walked out of an intricate building. Although her face suggested that she was in her thirties, her eyes seemed to hold the secrets of century-old stories.
She was greeted by many tyc.o.o.ns of Taiwan, as well as politicians. They stood obediently before the building and waited for the woman.
