Chapter 1076 - The Time Has Come

Chapter 1076: The Time Has Come

Different from what people thought, Chen Fan was relaxed at the moment. He donned an ancient linen robe, then A’Xiu tied up his black hair into a bun with a jade hairpin. He looked like a studious Young Master.

Chen Fan fetched a boat and traversed the Yan Gui Lake down Yun Wu Mountain.

The lake showed golden glitters in the sunlight; it had been a place sought after by tourists once. Many local people of Chu Zhou City would also go there to rent a boat and enjoy the summer sun with their families. But then, the entire city was in silence.

Many people had already left Chu Zhou City, as if they were running from an earthquake.

In just a couple days, Chu Zhou City was almost emptied.

On the other hand, many cultivators in China and around the world were heading towards the city.

“Master, these people aren’t scared! You may even destroy Yan Jin University and crack the earth when you fight with the alien races. Aren’t they worried about being dragged in?”

A’Xiu glanced around and sighed when she saw the crowd.

“You silly! I should just kill myself if I can’t kill a few Golden Core Cultivators without making a scene. Wouldn’t it mean that all my hard work in the last decade was wasted?” Chen Fan poked the girl’s forehead and laughed.

“That’s right! Master is someone who dominated Planet Tianhuang. A few Golden Core Cultivators are nothing to him.” A’Xiu chuckled.

Chen Yaoyao and Auntie Tang were making fish. It was fresh fish that was as long as an adult’s arm and its scales also had a hint of golden color. It had actually broken a part of the boat with its tail when Chen Fan caught it; it seemed to be a mutated monster, but Chen Fan slapped it and put it into the pot.

“Hm, it smells so good. You cook much better than my mom,” Chen Fan said.

Auntie Tang smiled with worry in her eyes.

The time for the battle was getting closer. Chen Fan didn’t seem to care about it, but the pressure from the outside world left Auntie Tang out of breath.

“Can Xiao Fan win this battle?” Even Auntie Tang wasn’t sure.

Jiang Feifei sat aside coldly and was planning to watch Chen Fan die.

Only A’Xiu knew that, although Chen Fan seemed to be relaxing on the boat, his Immortal Will had spread out and merged with the Yun Wu Mountain, Yan Gui Lake and Chu Zhou City.

There was a golden talisman flashing through Chen Fan’s eyes almost every second and A’Xiu felt that the Essence Qi around them was changing. The Essence Qi, the energy and laws seemed to have formed a trap that enveloped the entire city.

“Master is forming an array!” A’Xiu realized.

And yet, she couldn’t see what kind of array it was and how Chen Fan was forming it. She might not have even noticed that if it wasn’t because she was next to him. A’Xiu was completely in awe of such a tactic.

In fact…

Chen Fan was indeed forming an array.

When he heard the message from the eight alien races, he knew he had nothing to be afraid of, but he wouldn’t be able to protect Auntie Tang, A’Xiu, Chen Yaoyao, the Su family, the Lu family and many other ordinary people he knew while he fought.

Those Dark Races might not be powerful for him, but they had a large number of members. With the threat from the Taichu Temple, the Wuji Arena and the hidden Apollo Palace as well, Chen Fan was planning to build a headquarters for his sect.

This time—

He abandoned East Mountain in Jin City and planned to use Yun Wu Mountain as the base.

That place had a dense Spirit Qi and was where the Spirit Veins in Jiang Bei were gathered. Chen Fan was at the moment attracting all the Spirit Veins and Spirit Qi to that place, from the entire province and a few other nearby provinces.

People were unable to feel the Spirit Veins moving towards Yun Wu Mountain and they also couldn’t see the energy currents in the sky.

In a blink.

The Spirit Qi on Yun Wu Mountain and in Chu Zhou City became denser.

However, nobody noticed that and many cultivators only felt that their progress rate had become a bit faster. Chen Fan also buried some array materials in Yun Wu Mountain, the Yan Gui Lake and around Chu Zhou City.

He had looted six imperishable sects and dozens of planets at one time, so he had tons of materials, which filled more than half of the Blade Strengthening Gourd.

“Golden Essence Crystals, Earth Yellow Essence, Thousand Ice Pillars, Dragon Divine Stones…”

Many Spirit Materials and Quasi-Divine Materials were buried after Chen Fan refined them. They would connect with the Spirit Veins and the entire Yun Wu Mountain to form a large array.

The array would cover a hundred miles, enveloping the entire Chu Zhou City and Yan Gui Lake with Yun Wu Mountain as the center. Not even Nascent Soul Cultivators would be able to destroy it, let alone Golden Core Cultivators.

“Not enough.”

Chen Fan shook his head.

That array gathered the energy in a few thousand miles’ radius with the Spirit Veins. It would be great for defending, but not enough for attacking. Nascent Soul Cultivators couldn’t do anything about it, but they would also remain unscathed.

“More.”

Chen Fan took out the Blade Strengthening Gourd.

Even though the gourd was a Spirit Treasure, it really wasn’t a good one, but it had been with Chen Fan since the beginning, when he was weak. It evolved every time Chen Fan became stronger. It became more spacious and it also had more Divine Powers. It was the top Dharma Artifact Chen Fan had at the moment.

Right then, Chen Fan was about to use its “Blade Strengthening” function.

“My friend, please help me protect the Earth.” Chen Fan patted the gourd and sighed.

“Boom, boom!”

The Blade Strengthening Gourd vibrated in the air, as if it were nodding.

After that, Chen Fan cast a spell and let out a series of golden talismans. He pulled the Spirit Qi and Spirit Veins from a few thousand mile range to himself, as if he were dragging a thousand-ton bull, and connected them to the Blade Strengthening Gourd.

“Buzz!”

The green body of the Blade Strengthening Gourd then shook and there were sounds of swords moving around.

After that—

Chen Fan buried the Blade Strengthening Gourd deep into the Yun Wu Mountain.

That moment, the entire Yun Wu Mountain was immediately imbued with a hint of vicious energy, as if there were great dangers inside. Chen Fan heaved a sigh. The array was only supported by the Spirit Veins moments before, but adding the Blade Strengthening Gourd gave it a core. The gourd was holding the power of the entire array.

“The Blade Strengthening Gourd has been with me for many years. Its power is comparable to that of a Heavenly Lord’s Spirit Treasure, or even stronger, but that’s not all.”

Chen Fan gazed in the air.

The core of the Blade Strengthening Gourd was the “Blade Strengthening” function.

Chen Fan had killed millions of his enemies, including Connate, Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators in the past decade. Even if some weapons and Dharma Treasures had been broken, he still collected them and stored them in the Blade Strengthening Gourd. With countless Spirit Artifacts, Spirit Treasures and Heavenly Treasures, the Blade Strengthening Gourd had turned into an invincible killing treasure.

“Pixiu, Rosemallow, Asura… The nine flying swords of Sword Secret the Exalted Cultivator.

“The Starry Sword Array I got from the Sword Palace.

“The ‘Wangwo Sword’ of Li Chen, the Heavenly Jade Sword Prince.

“The broken sword of Heaven’s Equal.

“The Sword Array of Six Illusions from the elders on Mount Emperor…”

Many flying swords were placed in the Blade Strengthening Gourd and nourished by the vicious energy. With the Heavenly Materials and Divine Materials Chen Fan added, their levels improved more and more.

In the end, Chen Fan chose 9999 flying swords of at least the Spirit Artifact level. 990 of them were Spirit Treasures and nine were Heavenly Treasures. They had been stored in the Blade Strengthening Gourd for many years.

This day.

Chen Fan cast a spell and shouted, “Rise!”

Swish!

9999 beams of light shot up over the sky and turned into thousands of stars, flying around. Each flying sword had a different attribute, like gold, fire, sharpness, weight, poison, coldness… All of them were extremely sharp and could easily kill Connate Cultivators. Dozens of them together could even kill Golden Core Cultivators.

When those swords merged into one, they would be even more terrifying.

“Merge!”

Chen Fan merged the swords with his body and then let out a ray of golden light. This action cracked the sky and the laws on Earth were producing some screeching sounds. Even Chen Fan felt the sharpness of the swords; even the skin of his Immortal Golden Body felt as if it were being pricked by needles.

Chen Fan was certain that this sword could hurt him.

“Haha, done.”

Chen Fan burst into laughter. Once the array was formed, the entire Yun Wu Mountain and Chu Zhou City turned into an Asura Ground. Not even Nascent Soul Cultivators would be able to get out.

Chen Fan didn’t have to worry anymore after setting up this array.

“This array covered the sky and the swords formed a galaxy. I’ll call it the ‘Sky Galaxy Array,'” Chen Fan thought as he looked at the sky, waiting for the arranged hour to come. He wanted to give the eight alien races, the guests from the rest of the universe and the people on Earth a big surprise.

One day, two days, three days…

The sun rose.

It was the seventh day. The time for the battle had arrived!
