Chapter 537 - The End of the Battle (2/2)
The other martial artists and grandmasters all nodded in agreement.
Chen Fan never liked the Lins. They had tried to kill him and harm his family many times.
However, Lin Shuming had lived up to his n.o.ble spirit by injuring only Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa and spared the rest of the Chen Family. Chen Fan was grateful for that. In addition, Chen Fan had never expected Lin Shuming’s last killing blow to force him to use the Defensive Divine Power.
“I have underestimated Lin Shuming’s power. I had never thought that he was able to fuse his own life with the sword to amplify the energy he harnessed over the last sixty years. It’s a shame that his potential was hindered by the lack of Spirit Qi on earth.”
With that thought in mind, Chen Fan’s eyes dimmed a little.
By then, he had already reached the mid-stage of Divine Sea and could make the breakthrough into the late-stage at any moment.
However, Chen Fan had no clue as to how to level up to the Connate Spirit. The number of resources required for reaching that stage would be more than the sum of that during the entire Qi Refinement Phase. It would take Chen Fan a long time to achieve his goals unless he was able to find another cave abode of a former Earth Level Deity.
“No wonder the earth had not produced an Earth Level Deity for thousands of years. ”
That being said, Chen Fan wagered that it would take him at most five years to reach Connate Spirit without any help. Plus, he was optimistic about finding another Spirit Source on earth.
“Xiao Fan, are you alright?”
w.a.n.g Xiaoyun rushed to her son and asked.
Chen Fan cracked a smile and said.
“I am fine, mom.”
Fang Qiong and An Ya also came forward and gazed at Chen Fan with a troubled look,
Chen Fan comforted each and everyone’s them, rea.s.suring them that he was unharmed. Afterward, he was greeted by the members of the North Qiong Sect, led by Hua Yunfeng. Behind them stood sect masters of all major sects in China.
“Humph!!”
After confirming Chen Fan’s victory, Yao Daoyi snorted and transformed into a flash of lightning and phased out.
Li Changsheng shook his head and flew away. Watanabe also walked over to the sea and headed back toward j.a.pan. However, the Azure Dragon stayed.
Once Chen Fan had finished catching up with his disciples and families, Red Sparrow walked over to him and said:
“General Chen, this is the vice-captain of the Kunlun unit: Gu Chenghe, Lieutenant General Gu.” Red Sparrow introduced the old man in a somber tone.
“You can just call me Old Dragon”
Azure Dragon waved a casual hand and said. He was wearing a faded military uniform. His spin was as straight as a lance and his face was filled with pride and confidence. It was evident that this old man used to be a battle-hardened commando.
“My pleasure, Mr. Gu.”
Chen Fan cracked a smile and nodded.
“General Chen, your victory has huge implications. It has stirred up no only the organizations in the Dark World, but also many Curmudgeons who had been lurking for ages. Worse, you have become a prime target for most superpowers in the world, such as Russia, the USA, and the UK. I bet they are working diligently right now to pull together special units that will be used to deal with you specifically.”
Azure Dragon’s face grew darker as he continued. “You have proven yourself as the most powerful individual in the world, therefore, can not be tolerated by… you-know-who.”
“You mean the United States of America?”
Chen Fan asked as he narrowed his eyes.
“Indeed. The United States of America is the real master of the planet. Even the combined might of China and Russia wouldn’t be able to challenge her position. Many years ago, when the Christian Church was still a powerful force, the Americans had stationed a million troupes in Europe and barged right into Vatican City and forced the Christian Church to its knees. Just imagine that.”
Azure Dragon lamented.
“I don’t understand. Even though the United States of America has nuclear weapons, they couldn’t just use it as they please. However powerful she was, can she really take on all the Immortal State Warriors at once?”
Chen Fan furrowed his brows.
“Hehe.”
Azure Dragon shook his head and cracked a mysterious smile. “You will find out the answer in due time. Just remember, don’t mess with the US, unless you are ready to face nuclear punishment.”
After he said that, Azure Dragon turned around and flew away. Before he disappeared behind the clouds, his final words drifted down from the sky:
“You are welcome to visit me whenever you are in Yan Jin.”
“Will do.”
Chen Fan answered.
After Azure Dragon was gone, Chen Fan turned around, and he was greeted by many fearful eyes.
After this battle, Chen Fan had finally become the strongest man on earth.
Except for the world’s superpowers, no other forces could bring him to heels.
The Martial Artists left the battlefield carrying a piece of sensational news. When the intelligence departments and forces in the Dark World learned about Chen Fan’s victory, they were rendered speechless.
Chen Beixuan had won!
He had defeated Lin Shuming.
One specific detail about the battle was particularly shocking to everyone. Lin Shuming’s final attack could match the power of an Earth Level Deity, but it didn’t even make a dent on Chen Beixuan. It proved that Chen Beixuan’s power was truly terrifying.
