959 Dominate the Battle

He was the first ever Longevity Roll Elite to die in a battle.

Many people on the Divine Stage were overwhelmed with disbelief. They thought that Chen Fan would eventually be crushed under the combined might of the nine Heavenly Talents.

However, that was far from reality.

Gui Mingzi even paid the ultimate price.

The sect master of the Ghost Underworld Sect pulled a dark face, body tense with anger. Gui Mingzi was the first disciple of the sect who had the potential of reaching the Nascent Soul level.

“How dare you!”

Sect Master Fu grunted vengfully as he fixed his chilling gaze on Chen Fan. Shadows of ghostly spirits swirled around his body, snarling and howling. However, even though he was the Sect Master of a Heavenly Sect, he couldn’t say anything, nor did he dare.

After all, death was a common occurrence during battles among cultivators.

Therefore, Sect Master Fu had to keep his silence and let his anger multiply and fester.

Even as the other Sect Masters gloated over the Ghost Underworld Sect’s loss, Chen Fan had already located his next target.

“Boom!”

He took a step forward and arrived before Gongsun Kui. “I don’t remember seeing you at the Brahma Palace, why do you want to kill me?”

After he said that, Chen Fan slapped Gongsun Kui.

A force denser than mercury suddenly locked the flow of energy in the air. Gongsun Kui was paralized by the force, unable to put up any resistance.

“Cultivator Chen, please allow me to explain.”

Gongsun Kui’s face turned pale as he scrambled to explain himself.

Even as he pleaded with Chen Fan, a golden flame surrounded his body, and burned more intensely by the second. Countless golden symbols swirled around him, forming layers of protection. This was the Divine Art of Nine Burning Suns; when initiated, the user’s blood would catch fire and turn into protective energies that could sear through any Golden Core.

However, Chen Fan didn’t want his explanation. He was well aware of Gongsun Kui’s involvement in the devious ploy to undo him. Without his support, the Liyang Sword Lord would have never risen against Chen Fan.

“Go to hell!”

The golden fire had no effect on Chen Fan’s hand. It went straight through the conflagration and clamped Gongsun Kui’s head within his grasp.

“Boom!”

Gongsun Kui’s head exploded.

“Stop, PLEASE!” the Liyang Sword Lord screamed. However, he had to watch as Chen Fan grabbed Gongsun Kui’s Divine Soul in a vise grip. “Don’t come bother me ever again.”

Bang!

Gongsun Kui’s divine soul was reduced to nothing. Shock and regret was permanently etched onto the soulless face of Gongsun Kui.

He was the heir of the Gongsun family, a fabulous young cultivator who lived a successful life. He had never expected his life to end with such humiliation.

“How dare you? Do you know who he is? He is Ancestral Patriarch Gongsun’s favorite heir,” the Liyang Sword Lord shouted at the top of his lungs.

Although this brawny man was not a direct member of the Gongsun Family, he had been part of the family ever since his childhood. The death of his master’s favorite heir had upset him greatly.

“Oh? Then tell that old man Gongsun to come find me. I can help him reunite with his grandson,” Chen Fan clapped his hand and said calmly.

The Liyang Sword Lord was so mad he was rendered speechless.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Talents shock turned into fear.

In a few short minutes, Chen Fan had killed two elites. The message was clear: there was no point fighting against Chen Fan.

After evaluating the situation, most people faltered. Some even started to consider capitulating.

However, Chen Fan had already found his third target.

“If I recall correctly, my servant broke the leg of your disciple. Are you here to avenge him?” Chen Fan arrived in front of a brawny man with red hair.

The brawny man looked just like the disciple from the Red Flame Heavenly Region.

However, everyone watched as the brawny man shook his head, insisting that he was confused and didn’t mean to offend Elixir Monarch Chen.

However, Chen Fan didn’t believe him.

He could tell that he was closely related to his disciple, perhaps he was a brother.

“Boom!”

Chen Fan punched the red-haired man and shattered his Golden Core. A shower of golden blood and bone fragments fell from the sky, washing away the Heavenly Talents’ last sliver of hope

The third Heavenly Talent fell from the sky.

“Stop, stop now! We submit!”

“Stop, PLEASE!”

By then, the elders watching the development unfolding could no longer sit still. The elders of the Reincarnation Sect hurried to start the protection array formation. Meanwhile, Elders from the Gongsun Family and other sects flew to the battlefield to aid their disciples.

“We’re having a fair fight, what is the meaning of this?”

Chen Fan flicked his finger as a dangerous light glinted in his eyes.

“We submit, we surrender!” the Elders of the Gongsun Family screamed.

“What about you?”

Chen Fan turned and looked at the remaining six Heavenly Talents.

The six of them, including Xiao Hong, were shaken to the core. Pride, reputation and even life, they had lost everything. The catastrophic defeat might even have a negative impact on their cultivation.

However, Chen Fan had robbed them of all hope and confidence.

“Fine. Elixir Monarch Chen is indeed more powerful than us. We surrender.”

In the end, Xiao Hong and the others lowered their heads, trying to swallow the bitter defeat.

When Chen Fan finally returned to the Divine Stage, everyone looked at him with a newfound insight about his power.

Moments before, they only knew Chen Fan as the Elixir Monarch, but at the moment they saw him as the person who defeated nine Heavenly Talents. A worthy opponent, if not a major threat to Jun Aochen and Gu Xiaoyi.

“It’s unthinkable! He has earned himself a spot in the top three list of the Longevity Roll!” a senior cultivator exclaimed.

The young generation cultivators looked at Chen Fan with shock and disbelief.

They were mesmerized by Chen Fan’s otherworly movement, unforgiving strength and ruthless demeanor.

“He really lives up to the reputation of being an Elixir Monarch.”

“Bravo!”

Wang Xuanlong lifted his cup and sent its content down his throat.

Many other cultivators from the Beihuang Region were exhilarated by the development. Despite Chen Fan having caused significant turmoil in the Beihuang Region, they rooted for him deep down.

“Brother.”

Xiao Mang arrived with a whiff of fragrance. She threw herself into Chen Fan’s arms.

An attractive girl in his arms and his enemy under his boots, Chen Fan looked as glorious as ever. Many people wagered that only Chen Fan was worthy of the attention of the True Dragon Goddess.

Meanwhile, Wu Shan, Zhou Kun and Li Dani were disheartened.

The disciple of the Red Flame Heavenly Region pulled a dark face as he lamented the death of his brother and his inability to fight back.

“One day, I will make him pay,” Wu Shan said.

However, even he didn’t believe that would ever happen.

Chen Fan had defeated many Heavenly Talents in a fair fight. No one could blame him for the death of his opponents. Even the Sect Master of the Ghost Underworld Sect had to swallow his anger in silence. Plus, even if he challenged Chen Fan right then, he knew he wouldn’t survive.

Meanwhile, Hua Nonyin and Sisi eagerly gave Chen Fan infatuated stares.

Sisi was floored. She had thought that Xiao Mang’s brother was a selfish slob, arrogant and lazy. However, he had not only turned out to be the Elixir Monarch, but he also brought down many Heavenly Talents. He even earned Jun Aochen’s respect.

“So that’s why you acted the way you do. You are powerful enough to be ranked on the of the Longevity Roll’s top three.”

Hua Nonyin heaved a sigh.

She had been convinced that Chen Fan was an arrogant fool. However, she was captivated by Chen Fan’s power. Meanwhile, the other female cultivators from the Violet Moon Peak were considering Chen Fan their idol.

“Phew!”

Chen Fan returned to the stage while surrounded by elders of various sects.

Despite himself, Elder Jueyan squeezed out a smile on his face and said, “Elixir Monarch Chen is indeed powerful, almost too powerful.”

“It was a fair fight. Why? Do you think I overreacted? Maybe we can have a round as well. I promise I’ll only use one hand.”

Chen Fan gave him a sidelong glance and a crooked grin.

His reply drained life and color out of the elder’s face. He hurried to wave his hand.

Although he was the elder of the Reincarnation Sect, a thousand year old curmudgeon, he wasn’t a match against Chen Fan.

The exchange sent a chill down everyone’s spines.

In the end, Elder Yuelon stepped in and begged Chen Fan to let the matter slide. Meanwhile, concern flashed across Grand Elder Lin Shan’s face, but it didn’t stay there.

It wasn’t long before the other sect masters received some kind of message which brightened their mood quite a bit. Some of them looked to the entrance from time to time expectantly.

Everyone sat down and the drinking continued.

Two hours later, clouds started to gather above the Xuantian Mountain. However, Shenxi was still nowhere to be seen. Someone asked, “Grand Elder. What is Shenxi waiting for?”

Lin Shan’s face softened a little and answered with a smile, “She’s waiting for a guest. He will aid her in the tribulation.”

“Oh? Which friend?”

Everyone was perplexed.

Who would be powerful enough to aid through a Golden Core’s Tribulation? Even as everyone pondered on, Chen Fan seemed to have realized something.

“Haha, he has arrived.”

Lin Shan suddenly rose to his feet.

A disciple announced the arrival of a guest.

“The first Heavenly General of the Alchemy King, and the heir of the Medicine God has arrived.”

“The First Heavenly General of the Alchemy King and the heir of the Medicine God?”

A swell of surprised murmurs rose from the crowd. Even Jun Aochen was shocked by the announcement.
