“They aren’t powerful?” Tang Yifei said.
A few hundred Golden Core Cultivators, a thousand Connate Cultivators and a Nascent Soul Ancestral Patriarch were just a tiny part of those Dark Races. Their Ancestral Patriarchs were either on their home planets or deep inside the planet Earth, as they looked for the deity ground. Such powerful forces could destroy Earth a hundred times over, but they weren’t even worth mentioning for Chen Fan.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
They had no idea what was worth mentioning.
Azure Dragon frowned and said slowly, “Although forces like the Taichu Temple, the Wuji Arena and the Sun Palace were founded by cultivators from other planets, we’ve tried to test how powerful they are. I’ve fought with their Overlords. Those forces are indeed stronger than the Dark Races, but they have at most a couple of Nascent Soul Cultivators only.”
He was the most qualified person to say that, as he had once fought with cultivators from the Sun Palace before.
“That’s right. Those sacred grounds and the Dark Races are all from outside of the planet. They wouldn’t be any stronger than the Kindred and the Dark Wolves.” Chen Jiuyang and Tang Yuanqin nodded.
Chen Fan cracked a smile but he didn’t refute.
They weren’t referring to the same thing when they said “outside of the planet.”
What Azure Dragon and Chen Jiuyang referred to was planets other than Earth, like the home planets of the alien races, Planet Tianhuang, Planet Zheyuan, Heavenly Jupiter and other planets in the Abandoned Planet Region. However, what Chen Fan referred to was the large sects in the Star Ocean, including Apollo Palace, the Changshen Sect, the Fey God Sect and the Demon Sun Sect.
Those were super forces that had Soul Formation Grand Cultivators and tons of Nascent Soul Cultivators. They were powerful enough to conquer the planets in the entire Abandoned Planet Region. Even though their Grand Cultivators couldn’t enter the planet region for some reason, their secret treasures and arrays were so terrifying that not even the Earth and the alien races combined could resist them.
Chen Fan didn’t return to Earth for the Dark Races, but for those large sects of the Star Ocean.
When the banquet ended and the guests left—
Chen Fan went to a room and took out a few Overlords of the Kindred from his sleeves, throwing them onto the ground. “Tell me, where did your Nascent Soul Ancestral Patriarchs go?”
He kept them alive for that very purpose. They were all wearing a black and red capes with one to five golden lines embroidered on them. They were the elders of the Kindred.
However, they all sneered and remained silent as they faced Chen Fan’s interrogation.
“You’re quite dauntless!” Chen Fan said calmly and raised his finger. A beam of azure light was shot out, crushing the head of one of the elders of the Kindred.
The core in its mind even exploded. If Chen Fan didn’t control his energy with his Dharma Power, half of Yun Wu Mountain would have collapsed. Even so, the entire room was a mess. There was blood everywhere and the other few elders were also covered in blood.
“Still not talking?”
Chen Fan pointed at the second one.
With barely time for a blink, the second elder was also killed.
The third, the forth, the fifth…
Chen Fan killed five elders of the Kindred at once. In the end, the entire floor was covered in blood, which was half a finger thick.
When Chen Fan looked at the sixth and eldest Kindred.
That old Overlord knelt on the ground and said with a respectful and fearful tone, “Please forgive me, Heavenly Lord. I’ll talk. I’ll tell you everything. Please don’t kill me.”
Even though cultivators of the Kindred race were arrogant, they couldn’t resist someone as cruel as Chen Fan.
Soon after—
Chen Fan found out everything he wanted to know from the elder.
According to what it said, the eight Dark Races opened the Path of Heaven and each sent at least several Nascent Soul Ancestral Patriarchs with a few hundred Golden Core Cultivators there. And yet, most of them had gone deep into the planet’s core with the Divine Princes. Only one, which was the Ancestral Patriarch of the Kindred, was left on the outside.
The surface of the Earth was only one-thousandth of Planet Tianhuang, but its core was extremely large. The Deities had once buried worlds and deity grounds there during ancient times, with battlefields, mansions and graves of the ancient Sages everywhere. Those were all dangerous places, but there might be Grand Opportunities hidden as well.
A “deity ground” or a “sacred ground” was the ruin of an ancient battlefield.
That was the Grand Opportunity!
The Divine Princes from the Star Ocean came to Earth for this. The entrance of those deity grounds and sacred lands was usually located in the Grotto-heavens, mountains and oceans, which was why people saw Deities from other planets deep in mountains and forests.
“What’s the Grand Opportunity?”
Chen Fan frowned.
If those on Planet Tianhuang, Planet Zheyuan and Heavenly Jupiter—like the Dao Fruit and the Heart of Wood God—weren’t Grand Opportunities, what brought those disciples of top sects to this planet had to be something better than ordinary Quasi-Divine Medicines and Quasi-Divine Materials.
“I’m not sure, those Divine Princes are extremely powerful. Even our Ancestral Patriarchs seem to be afraid of them and act like servants. We never dared to ask too many questions,” the elder of the Kindred answered, “However, I heard that they’re in the deity ground inside planet Earth and they’ve been stuck there for six years. There seems to be some development recently, so all the Divine Princes have gone there.”
“What about the Taichu Temple and the Wuji Arena?” Chen Fan asked again.
The elder of the Kindred didn’t know much.
It said that the cultivation sacred grounds had been established by the top sects in the Star Ocean to suppress Earth, but it didn’t know which sects did that exactly. It only knew that the “Sun Palace” had been founded by a servant of the Apollo Sect’s Divine Prince.
“The Apollo Sect?”
Chen Fan’s eyes glittered.
That top sect of the Star Ocean seemed to be the one who led the others to attack Earth. According to the elder, many forces followed orders from the Apollo Sect. At least four of the eight alien races were under their command.
“Hm, then, I’ll first eliminate all your forces here and find you in the deity ground.”
Chen Fan grunted and smashed the elder of the Kindred. He then got up and walked out of the tower.
It was time to settle the scores with their master.
