<h4>Chapter 1016: The Hidden Hand</h4>
“Boom!”
Meanwhile, the entire Mount Emperor was shaking and many Heavenly Lord Laws appeared. Countless runes and arrays seemed to have been activated, letting out beams of light at the same time. The mountains, buildings and spiritnds made noises together, as if they were weing their master.
“This is... Divine Lord Tatian?”
Countless people widened their eyes and looked over.
Being called “Ancestral Patriarch” by the Divine Master, this had to be a person who was beyond the ordinary. The ck-robed Divine Master could already be regarded as the most powerful Divine Master of Mount Emperor, but Chen Fan was still able to stomp him down. Even if the former Divine Masters were reborn, they wouldn’t be able to beat Chen Fan. It would have to be at least Divine Lord Tatian or some peerless Overlord from that generation.
“Even if it’s not Divine Lord Tatian, it would have to be one of Mount Emperor’s founders,” Heavenly Lord Jinhai said seriously.
The power was too terrifying. There seemed to be a True Dragon hiding in Mount Emperor and it slowly came to life. Its energy continued to surge, making people worry.
<i>“Is there really a hidden old cultivator?”</i>
Chen Fan was a bit shocked.
Divine Lord Tatian became a Soul Formation Cultivator a few hundred thousand years before. Even if he could live for a long time, he would have already died by then. And yet, this would not be enough to unsettle Chen Fan, even if Divine Lord Tatian was reborn. He hadpleted an earth-shattering Grand Divine Power and thest trump card during the months in the Deity ground for the Soul Formation Grand Cultivators.
“Even if there’s a Soul Formation Cultivator, I’ll kill him!” Chen Fan said firmly.
“Boom!”
That energy rose to the peak stage of the Nascent Soul Level. While everyone was waiting, it suddenly disappeared.
Crack.
The door of the main hall on Mount Emperor opened and a man in ck armor walked out.
The armor he wore even covered his head; only his crimson eyes were exposed.
“I’m Mangya.”
“Who summoned me?”
The voice of the man in ck armor seemed to havee from Hell, making the cultivators in a few thousand miles shiver.
“That’s Divine General Mangya, the invincible Divine General under Divine Lord Tatian!”
Then.
Some old cultivators recognized him.
The other cultivators were frightened by the name. When Mangya was young, he was a young elite of Tianhuang who had once ranked first on the Longevity Roll. He fought with Divine Lord Tatian countless times. In the end, Divine Lord Tatian defeated him after bing a Soul Formation Cultivator.
Since then, Divine General Mangya followed Divine Lord Tatian around the entire Abandoned Region. All the others’ inhabitants were afraid of them.
His hands were stained with the blood of people from the other races and he was called the executor. He was a peak-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator and was only a step away from the Soul Formation realm. If it wasn’t for Divine Lord Tatian, he might have be a Soul Formation Cultivator as well.
“Why did he suddenly show up?”
Even the Heavenly Lords were trembling.
Everyone thought only some former Divine Master or ordinary Divine General under Divine Lord Tatian would show up, but the invincible Divine General Mangya was the one who actually appeared!
He was the most powerful cultivator, second only to Divine Lord Tatian.
Someone who had lived a hundred thousand years!
He might not have been as talented as Divine Lord Tatian, but his power was unimaginably terrifying.
“Heavenly Lord Chen, run!” Shenxi said anxiously. Only Divine Princesses like her knew how terrifying Divine General Mangya was. He had fought a lot of battles and killed more than dozens of Nascent Soul Cultivators.
“Toote.”
Ancestral Patriarch Jinghai shook his head.
The moment Mangya showed up, Chen Fan’s death was made certain. Mangya had surely paid dearly to go there after a living a hundred thousand years and he might even die afterwards. He had to kill Chen Fan before he did.
As expected.
The Divine Master underneath the giant ape foot shouted, “I’m the seventh Divine Master of Mount Emperor. My people have been killed by this man. Divine General, please kill him and take revenge for Mount Emperor.”
“Boom!”
When the Divine Master spoke, Divine General Mangya looked at Chen Fan with his red eyes. His viciousness enveloped the entire world.
“Was it you who disturbed my sleep and offended Mount Emperor?” Mangya asked.
He sized Chen Fan up and gave a mocking smile. “You’re only a Golden Core Cultivator with strong Dharma Power. However, your Divine Power is powerful and you practiceplete cultivation arts that don’t belong to Tianhuang. You must be a cultivator from another region, right?”
“A cultivator from another region?”
Everyone was startled.
Heavenly Lord Jinhai asked quickly, “Divine General, I’m Jinhai from the Reincarnation Sect. Are you saying that Chen Beixuan isn’t from Tianhuang?”
“Right, I’ve never seen any Divine Power like his, at least not from around here. It has a strong, ancient energy, so it’s probably from arge sect outside of the Abandoned Region,” Divine General Mangya said.
At this moment.
Everyone looked at Chen Fan in shock and even the Divine Master took a deep breath.
That was it!
No wonder there was suddenly a cultivator who could kill Nascent Soul Cultivators at the Golden Core Level. He even defeated the Divine Master with a Divine de. It would make sense if Chen Fan wasn’t from their region. Those who were at the level of Ancestral Patriarchs would understand that therge sects in the Star Ocean were truly powerful.
“But isn’t Chen Beixuan Chinese? Are there Chinese people on others as well?” someone wondered.
The others were also confused.
Right.
Chen Fan had never hidden his identity as Chinese and he was proud of it, which was why the Heavenly Lords didn’t doubt where he actually came from.
“You’re a Chinese cultivator?”
Divine General Mangya stared at Chen Fan with shock, doubt and viciousness in his eyes. Chen Fan felt like Mangya was definitely going to kill him!
“That’s right. I came from Earth, which is what you call East,” Chen Fan said indifferently.
He thought he was getting close to the truth. It was time to solve the mystery of why Heaven’s Equal had been captured and why the Chinese were cursed.
“Haha, you’re a descendant of East. No wonder you can break through the Law restrictions of Tianhuang,” Divine General Mangya said and cracked an evil smile.
“I followed Divine Lord Tatian to East back then and killed your ‘Divine Lord Jiang,’ leaving his sword in the Realm of Kunxu.
“That guy was the cultivator who had the highest chance of bing a Soul Formation Cultivator on East, but I killed him. I’ll never forget the excitement of eliminating such a talent even after a hundred thousand years. It’s incredible! So, when his descendant came to this, Heaven’s Equal, I issued an order to detain him and put a prohibition spell on your people to avoid the rise of another Divine Lord Jiang.”
Mangya burst intoughter excitedly.
“What?”
Everyone was astonished.
It was in fact Mangya’s order to put a prohibition spell on the Chinese and there was a conspiracy behind all this.
Chen Fan looked colder as Mangya spoke. He had once seen a mountain ten thousand feet tall in the Realm of Kunxu. It was said to be the weapon “Divine Lord Kunwu,” used to build the Realm of Kunxu.
Divine Lord Kunwu had to be the “Divine Lord Jiang” Mangya talked about!
“So, this actually started a hundred thousand years ago,” Chen Fan mumbled with a nine-color fire in his eyes.
“What I did back then was right. Your people certainly have unlimited potential. Even though Divine Lord Jiang was killed and Heaven’s Equal was locked up, you showed up after a few thousand years. I should have exterminated your race on East!”
Mangya shook his head.
“You! Deserve! To die!” Chen Fan said with a cold voice and the fire in his eyes was burning fiercely.
He had never wanted to kill someone so badly. Everything that happened was finally pieced together; the hidden hand behind the suffering of the Chinese for countless years was right in front of him.
“You killed our Divine Lord and captured our talented people only because of your conspiracy. I’ll do whatever I must to settle the scores with you, even if I have to die!
“Even if Divine Lord Tatian is still alive, I’d still kill him and offer his blood to my ancestors!” Chen Fan said.
He swore to kill the Divine Lord of Mount Emperor!
Then.
Chen Fan stomped his foot.
Poof!
Chen Fan stomped the Divine Master to pieces in front of everyone else. The armor couldn’t protect him and Chen Fan crushed both his body and his soul
“How dare you!”
Viciousness surged out of Divine General Mangya, shaking the world.
Chen Fan only said a word.
“Kill!”
The most brutal fight on Tianhuang was about to begin!
