Chapter 1078 - The Battle Began (2/2)

“That’s right. He’s been gone for a decade and Ye Nantian has already surpassed him.”

“I think Azure Dragon and the others must have been frightened by the Dark Races. If there’s someone on Earth who can reach the Nascent Soul Level, that must be Ye Nantian or Sacred Eye.”

“Chen Beixuan is going down.”

Countless people made comments along those lines on the underground forum.

Even the experienced Immortal State Warriors and Connate Overlords shook their heads.

Some people refuted and said Chen Fan didn’t want to enter the Nascent Soul Level only because the laws on Earth were incomplete, but the others immediately disagreed with them. A lot of Connate Cultivators were desperate to become Golden Core Cultivators as long as they could get through the Tribulation, no matter what grade of Golden Core they could form, let alone the Nascent Soul Level. Even a fake Nascent Soul Cultivator was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, one who could be on top of everyone else, and becoming the best cultivator on the planet!

“Chen Beixuan is at the end of his wits.”

Sacred Eye shook his head.

Chen Fan had no idea about this.

In the past seven days, some of the remaining disciples of the North Qiong Sect arrived in Chu Zhou City from all around the world. Those who were willing to go there were loyal disciples; after all, Chen Fan might not be able to survive after this day. The eight alien races were about to arrive and destroy the world. Still, those disciples chose to be there.

“Two elders at the Connate Level, seven Divine Sea Cultivators, thirty-three Ethereal Enlightenment Cultivators and twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivators.” A’Xiu brought the list of the remaining disciples.

She spoke while tears ran down her face.

How powerful had the North Qiong Sect been in the past?

Chen Huaian was a Golden Core Cultivator.

Hua Yunfeng, Xie Yan, A’Xiu, Yukishiro Sa, Yu Wenjin… All of them were peak-stage Connate Cultivators. There had been dozens of elders at the Connate level and thousands of Divine Sea and Ethereal Enlightenment Cultivators. They even had a hundred thousand Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

But then.

There was so little of them left. The North Qiong Sect might now even be on par with some second-rate families or small sects in the country, in terms of disciple count.

“It’s enough.”

Chen Fan’s eyes seemed to be burning. “Have them enter the inner sect, I’ll teach them myself. From now on, they’ll be the first group of disciples and elders who will revive the North Qiong Sect. I want the universe to know their names in the future.”

“Yes, Master.”

A’Xiu nodded.

The Dark Races, the Taichu Temple, other cultivators, sect, consortiums, families and superpowers… All of them looked at Yun Wu Mountain.

Finally.

The seventh day arrived.

That day, billions of people on Earth were ready to watch that peerless battle on televisions, computers and cell phones. Some people called it the “greatest battle between humans and aliens.” There was still a great controversy surrounding whether Chen Fan could be the strongest or not, but it was seen without a doubt that the eight alien races were powerful forces.

“Ladies and gentlemen, you’re watching Mango Live and I’m your host, Jiang Hua. The ‘battle between Golden Core Cultivators’ is about to begin. Perfected Cultivator Chen of the North Qiong Sect hasn’t left Yun Wu Mountain in days. According to a reliable source, he was sitting on one of the mountain’s cliffs, waiting for the eight alien races to arrive. So, how many Golden Core Cultivators would the alien races have? You can now scan the QR code below to place a bet,” Jiang Hua said at the broadcast center in the Tian Shen Building.

Not only Mango Live.

Other Internet platforms and casinos also had games for people to place bets.

They could bet how many Golden Core Cultivators of the eight alien races would show up, how many cultivators there would be, how long Chen Fan could stay alive and who would win the battle in the end. Most of them thought that the eight alien races would send at least one and at most ten Golden Core Cultivators.

Since Chen Fan was the top cultivator on Earth back then and had defeated the Mayan fleet alone, everyone thought he wouldn’t lose so easily. Besides, he had help from the cultivation world in China. Many people were still betting for Chen Fan to win. After all, he was one of the human race and they all hoped he could defeat the alien races.

Then—

A banging sound was heard and countless people looked up.

A ray of crimson light flashed over the sky. It was obviously a Golden Core Cultivator from the alien races. However, it was only the beginning. After that, one, two, three… ten twenty, thirty beams of light…

In the end, a hundred terrifying cultivators appeared on Yun Wu Mountain, covering the sky.

At that moment, everyone on Earth was dumbfounded!
