The terrifying torrent was like a river, breaking through the crystal wall and slamming into Chen Fan like a ferocious beast. A single thought flashed through the minds of the onlookers. They were aware of the terrifying might of Gu Xun’s move. Chen Fan’s crystal wall was instantly destroyed, unable to resist it in the slightest. To them, the best-case scenario was Chen Fan surviving with serious injuries. And despite being mentally prepared, the Pine Crane Longevity Fist being broken so swiftly still caught Chen Fan off guard. As the Torrent of Turbulent Times struck, Chen Fan roared and pushed his cultivation to its limit, facing the deadly attack head-on. Hegemonic Golden Body, Chaotic Heaven Demonic Art, Nine Heavens Astral Sutra, and Heaven and Earth Furnace—he unleashed all his strength. The Torrent of Turbulent Times instantly swallowed him. Chen Fan felt as if he was about to be torn into pieces. The terrifying chaotic will struck his soul, trying to drag him into oblivion. However, the Bodhi Ancient Tree firmly guarded his soul, shielding it from corruption. The Torrent of Turbulent Times raged on. The terrifying force struck him repeatedly like endless mountains with no end in sight. “How terrifying... I can’t believe it. If Gu Xun reaches major mastery with this move, who could withstand it? As expected of the Gu Clan’s pride, he truly deserves his place.” “I can say for sure that kid from the lower realm is dead. Even a Greater Legendary expert couldn’t survive this move, let alone him.” “Think the sect will punish Gu Xun if he actually killed the kid?” “Hard to say. Although the sect allows competition, it’s under the condition that no one strikes to kill. If Gu Xun finishes off this kid, the sect would probably step in, though most likely just give him a symbolic punishment.” The crowd looked at the scene of devastation, horrified. The terrifying Torrent of Turbulent Times was like a violent mudslide, wrapped in infinite power that ravaged in waves, shaking the space, stirring the winds and clouds. The entire heaven and earth trembled as a result. Finally, the torrent stilled. Yet its chaotic aura lingered in the air, as if refusing to fade. “Definitely. Maybe not even a corpse is left.” Dozens of eyes turned to the storm, eager to see the outcome. Although they all believed that Chen Fan couldn’t have withstood the Torrent of Turbulent Times, they still wanted to see it with their own eyes. Suddenly, violent coughing echoed from within the chaos. Everyone froze, and their hearts skipped a beat. Not even Gu Xun was an exception. What had they just heard? How was that possible? Even if he withstood it, he should definitely be so heavily injured that he had fainted. How could he still be conscious? The coughing grew louder and clearer, confirming the crowd’s disbelief. “Cough, cough, cough...” It wasn’t their imagination. Their eyes widened in shock. As the storm fully dissipated, the scene came into view. Chen Fan, in a horribly battered state, was half-kneeling on the ground. Blood streamed from his seven orifices, and a pool of fresh blood lay at his feet. It was a gruesome sight. Yet, his rising and falling back proved he was still alive! All of a sudden, the nearby crowd burst into a commotion. “He’s alive, this guy is still alive!” “My god, he actually withstood it. He withstood it! It’s unbelievable!” “Unbelievable, indeed. But though he survived, he’s clearly severely injured. How much strength does he have left?” Gu Xun was also dumbfounded. He was well aware of the terror of this move. Even an ordinary Greater Legend couldn’t withstand it, let alone a Lesser Legendary realm martial artist from the lower realm. He had once crushed a Greater Legend from the lower realm with a single blow, leaving him bleeding. If a Greater Legend couldn’t withstand his power, how could that brat? So, he had never taken Chen Fan seriously. Although it was somewhat shameful for him to have failed to take down Chen Fan with the Hand of Golden Sun, Gu Xun was sure Chen Fan wouldn’t survive his deadliest move. Fresh chapters posted on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet As for the sect punishing him after killing Chen Fan... Gu Xun believed that with his status and talent, even if the higher-ups punished him, it would amount to nothing more than a short seclusion. There was no way they’d raise a fuss over some lower-realm bumpkin. So, when he executed Torrent of Turbulent Times earlier, he had aimed for Chen Fan’s life. “How is this possible?” Gu Xun exclaimed in shock. Chen Fan raised his head and looked at Gu Xun coldly. If not for his incredibly resilient Hegemonic Golden Body, he would’ve died on the spot, despite his combat strength being at the Greater Legendary level. He had to admit that Gu Xun was truly worthy of being a pride of heaven of the Heavenly Realm. His strength and foundation were monstrous, far beyond what Chen Fan could match. Although heavily injured, he could still fight. On the other hand, Gu Xun’s true primeval was exhausted. This was his chance to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Chen Fan suppressed his injuries and charged toward Gu Xun. A spear appeared in his hand, blossoming with dazzling light as he stabbed toward Gu Xun violently. Gu Xun’s expression changed drastically. Gritting his teeth, he mustered the last bit of true primeval inside him to defend against Chen Fan’s attack. However, his defense was broken through in an instant. The Holy Spear of the Sun drove straight in and pierced Gu Xun. Suddenly, resplendent light immediately erupted from Gu Xun. As the young patriarch of the Gu Clan, he naturally had multiple layers of protection. He wore a defensive vest, a low-grade immortal artifact that could withstand a strike from a high-level Immortal Platform realm expert. Even though it failed to penetrate Gu Xun, the terrifying force contained in this attack sent him flying. Chen Fan followed him like a shadow and used his spear like a staff, striking Gu Xun violently. Since Gu Xun tried to take his life, there was nothing to say. Even if he couldn’t kill Gu Xun, he would teach him a lesson he wouldn’t forget. The terrifying force penetrated Gu Xun’s defensive vest and rushed into him. In an instant, he felt as if his organs had shifted positions and had ruptured. He spewed fresh blood furiously like a fountain. He crashed heavily into the ground like a cannonball, setting off dust clouds that reached a thousand feet high and sending the earth shaking violently.
