415 Gang Up On Him! (1/2)

Adam, the Son of God.

Rumor had it that he was at least in his eighties, yet he looked as young as a teenage boy.

He was born in the 1930s, in a quiet German village. He had awakened the Gift of Light as soon as he was born. Due to his talent, he was taken into a monastery somewhere in Northern Europe and the monks had taught him numerous divine secret arts. When he turned twenty, he was deemed worthy to be the next leader of an overarching brach of all churches in the world that arbitrated internal disciplinary matters.

When he was twenty, Adam committed an unspeakable heresy and slaughtered everyone in the monastery, including the father that had raised him. Afterward, he embarked on his journey in the Dark World.

Even since he entered the Dark World, he had impressed everyone with his incredible power.

Right off the bat, he had killed the most powerful man in India, the Brahmā

Then, in the Middle East, he had defeated to Mercenary band from Kuwait.

In Europe, he had made the British Special Air Service unit struggle for three months. The unit was the toughest brigade in the United Kingdom.

Adam had claimed the seat of power in the Dark World since the seventies until a few months ago. In the last forty years, many had tried to challenge his dominance but none had succeeded. Even the late Sword Sage of Japan, Takemiya Hiro had held a private sparring event with him but was defeated by Adam.

He was born with the Gift of Light, and his power was strengthened by the Sacred Arts of the Christian Church, making him the most powerful Overlord in the Dark World. People started to call him the Son of God after seeing his power. If not because of the raw and untamed nature of his power, he should have already entered the Immortal State. Even though he was not officially an Immortal state warrior, he was revered all over the world and was considered the most powerful man in the world until the rise of Chen Fan.

”Huu! Huu!”

Adam flapped his wind and swoop down on Chen Fan like a diving bomber. An intensely bright white light came up in his eyes and his razor-sharp winds sliced through the air with a hiss.

”Bang!”

Chen Fan landed another kick on Zeus, but let The Fool successfully sneak a Magus Poison curse on him. Chen Fan stomped the ground and launched himself straight into the air like a dragon until he was above Adam. Then he bore his fist down onto Adam from above. His fist shined a bright azure light that lit up the sky.

”Kaboom!”

Chen Fan collided with Adam.

The azure fist aura quickly abated as soon as it landed on the white glowing winds, letting out a sharp and jarring metal to metal scraping noise. Many people couldn't stand the gut-churning, finger curling noise and so they covered their ears.

”Another Spirit Body?”

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and felt the force bounce off of the solid, but seemingly insubstantial white glow.

Zeus's Thunder Spirit Body was only in the Initial stage, and could only be triggered for a short period of time. Adam's Spirit Body had already achieved Initial success and could be used at will. It was called the Divine Light Spirit Body and was relatively stronger than most power Spirit Bodies.

Adam's body was reinforced by the Gift of Light from inside out. The light energy had infused with his bones, sinews, muscles, and even his blood, granting him a nearly indestructible body. Not even the machine gun bullets could make a dent on his skin. He should be in his eighties, but he looked like a young man; that was another benefit of the Gift of Light. Although he had not yet reached Immortal State, he should be able to live to a hundred and fifty or so if not longer.

All of that was because of his level of attainment in his Spirit Body cultivation.

A Connate Spirit Body, could greatly prolong the cultivator's life and toughen his physique with withstand cannon fire. Meanwhile, the Spirit Body could also complement Adam's awakened power, making him as powerful as an immortal state warrior.

If a cultivator could achieve Phenomenal success in their Spirit Body cultivation, they could live for at least five hundred years and withstand a blast from a long-range ballistic missile.

If Chen Fan hadn't gained Initial success in his Spirit Body cultivation using the Spirit Core of the Connate Spirit Wood, he might be about as powerful as Adam right now.

”It's a pity that your Spirit Body is just a normal one, while I have cultivated the Azure Thearch Longevity Body, one of the Five Elements Spirit Bodies. and the most powerful Divine Body in the universe!”

Chen Fan laughed out loud and let one of Adam's wings land a blow on his back. Adam's blow didn't have any effect on Chen Fan. Chen Fan about-turned and punched. His fist went through Adam's white pulsing protecting aura and onto Adam's chest.

Adam let out a painful cry and was sent stumbling back a few dozen meters before he managed to regain balance.

”His body is even tougher than mine?”

Adam's mind reeled.

Ever since he had awakened the Gift of the Light and gained the Spirit Body of Divine Light, only armor-piercing rounds and high caliber sniper rounds could have threatened his life. Meanwhile, his wings were made out of pure divine energy and were sharp enough to cut through thick rebars. However, when his wing landed a blow on Chen Fan's back, it barely made a scratch. Chen Fan's counter-attack, on the other hand, had easily pierced through his protecting aura and winded him in the process.

”He must possess some kind of God Form, a very powerful one while at it. At least it is much more powerful than mine. Worse, he must have already mastered the art as well.” Adam gave Chen Fan a knowing glance as he felt a pang of jealousy rise inside of him.

There were two types of Overlords in the world.

The first kind relied on hard work and diligent cultivation. They were the Martial Artists, Daoists, Spellcasters, Onmyojis, and Feng Shui Masters. These Overlords required training at a very young age and their progress was slow but steady.

The other kind of Overlords was the Extraordinary Ones. Although they also needed to cultivate, the main source of their power was from their inborn abilities and gifts that were capped out to a certain level as soon as they were awakened. Because of their headstart from birth, they considered themselves superior to the cultivators of the other category. Once an Extraordinary Once reached the peak of his power, he would awaken the so-called God Form.

Both Zeus and Adam had possessed God Form, which made them as powerful as an Immortal State Overlord.
