Chapter 89: Death - 89
When the girl looked to the ground and saw her ear, she exploded in rage. When had a soul formation cultivator ever had to endure such pain?
She instantly shot out thousands of arrows towards Zhou Fan. Each and every one of them had power comparable, if not higher, to the previous arrows.
Instead of dodging the arrows like last time, Zhou Fan flicked out with a finger and shot an enormous wave of tumbling wind towards the volley of arrows. The arrows that were heading for Zhou Fan flew in random directions away from him.
The girl, who didn't expect such a defensive move, was stunned. As she stood there stunned, three of the arrows Zhou Fan sent back coincidently flew straight at her body. By the time she noticed them, it was too late. The arrows pierced her stomach, leg, and arm, flying her back into the ground.
Zhou Fan quickly made sure she was alive before he continued standing in the air, waiting for the rest of the soul formation cultivators.
He didn't have to wait long before 5 more people appeared in front of him. Each and every one gave off a pressure that screamed soul formation.
Seeing the destruction that Zhou Fans battle caused, along with the passed out celestials, the new arrivals felt an extreme amount of vigilance.
However, they didn't speak to Zhou Fan. They simply stared at him until three more people showed up. The three people also gave off the pressure of a soul formation realm cultivator.
With a quick look, Zhou Fan was able to tell their strengths. The strongest was a young looking man with the strength of a tenth level soul formation expert. Although he looked young, it was clear to Zhou Fan that he was the oldest of the bunch.
The young looking man took a step forward and spoke out. "Who are you and what do you want?"
He said those words with a solemn tone of voice. After all, there was a completely unknown threat of unknown strength and it was at their doorsteps. In some ways, such a thing was even more fearsome than if the dragon king himself showed up.
A million ideas started to go on in Zhou Fan's head after hearing the question. Although he could continue his current act, there was a better solution. Such a solution was able to pressure every existence within the Zhou World to increase their strength as much as possible.
Otherwise, there would only be oppression and tyranny from the few groups who held power. With a threat to all living beings, tyranny could be avoided and all could grow to their fullest potential.
No talent would be killed in fear of them growing too much, but helped even further to reach their fullest in the fastest time.
As Zhou Fan continued to think of the idea, he could only consider it full of pros and with only a single con. That con would be the deaths that would need to happen to cause fear. However, Zhou Fan was more than willing to sacrifice the few for the benefit of the many.
As he came to the conclusion that the idea would be the best possible plan, Zhou Fan put it into action.
"Are you truly curious who I am? Can you handle the truth of my identity?" Zhou Fan asked in a sinister tone. He said it with a rough voice that gave a chill to all who heard it.
"What do you mean? I asked who you are!" The young looking man commanded.
"Fine. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. You could have died peacefully." Zhou Fan said in the same voice as before.
As the eight figures wondered who he could possibly be and why he would possibly say that, Zhou fan grabbed his face. Much to everyone's astonishment, he began pulling on it. Then he pulled it harder and harder until his entire face came off like a mask.
Every single celestial shivered in fear at what they saw. Fear could be seen on their faces as they looked at Zhou Fan. Instead of the face that they once saw, they now saw a skull.
An empty skull with a green light as his eyes. The skeletal face then donned a robe and a scythe without anyone understanding how. The robe was pitch black and the scythe was eerily silver along with its black handle.
"I am death. I am the end. I have come for you and your people." Said Zhou Fan in his new outfit.
His voice rang across not only the entire celestial lands, but the entire Zhou World. The sinister and evil voice woke both Anna and the dragon king up from their seclusion, and alerted the monkey king.
As for the cultivators looking at Zhou Fan, they nearly sh*t their pants. As they were shivering from fear, Zhou Fan appeared above one of their heads and slashed down with his scythe. Death Qi covered the entire thing and even covered the entirety of Zhou Fan.
Due to the fact that the person he chose wasn't paying full attention, his scythe cut through the girl's body from shoulder to waist. Since she was a cultivator, a normal cut like that wouldn't be able to fully kill her in an instant. Unfortunately, Zhou Fan had slashed with Death Qi. She died within seconds of being cut.
In fact, even a slight nick would result in a soul formation cultivator losing their life. Zhou Fan felt bad for the person, but he needed to make them fear him or the charade wouldn't work.
As the other cultivators saw their friend and colleague get instantly killed, they scrambled away like rats. The girl Zhou Fan killed earlier was at the 6th level of nascent soul. The fact that she was killed without resistance was enough to make even the most battle hardened person present run away.
Of course, Zhou Fan wasn't going to let them go like that. He once again moved above another person and killed them in the same exact way.
He was about to kill another celestial, but a loud voice followed by an immense attack interrupted him.
"STOP!"
Chapter 90: Battle - 90
When Zhou Fan looked over, he saw a slash of space Qi flying towards him at a speed faster than light. The ground started to rumble and a pressure descended upon Zhou Fan as it came closer.
Zhou Fan turned his body towards the attack and slashed out with death Qi, forming a similar crescent that collided with the Space Qi in mid air.
Due to the fact that Zhou Fan held his strength back at the level of a level five void traversing cultivator, the attacks stopped traveling when they collided and pushed at each other in mid air.
The tug of war lasted for three more seconds before both powers dissipated. As they did so, a woman dressed in light purple robes appeared in the air. Her entire body was giving off an incredible amount of killing intent and her eyes were on the verge of popping.
Zhou Fan stood still in the air as the killing intent covered him. He let it drown him for a moment before he released a killing intent of his own.
In order to keep up with the character of death, he made sure that his killing intent was more powerful and far more sinister. Even so, Anna simply shivered for a moment before she snorted and blocked the killing intent from even reaching her.
"Who are you?" She asked. It appeared that she hadn't heard the earlier conversation.
"I am death. I am the end. I have come for you and your people." Zhou Fan repeated in the same way he had earlier.
"When you say "your people", I assume you mean celestials. Are you in cahoots with the other races?" She asked solemnly.
"No. I have come for all the residents of the Zhou World. I will decimate all living beings and set sail upon the bones of your kin. In your brief moments of life before I slaughter you, I will make sure you feel absolute despair.I am death. I am the end. I have come for you and your people. I have come for your world." Zhou Fan said.
The final goal was not to simply grow the celestial's strength, but to grow the entire Zhou World's strength. Even those of the future should have nightmares at the mention of his name.
When Anna heard Zhou Fan's words, her eyes flew open. For a moment she seemed shocked. Then, she started to laugh.
"Are you telling me that you think you can destroy the world? With your meager strength nonetheless? Hahahahaha! You and what army?" She asked mockingly. Her words made sense. Before, Zhou Fan could only tie with her. If she were to work together with the whole world, it could only spell 'Zhou Fans' doom.
"What army?" Zhou Fan asked rhetorically.
He then let his scythe float beside him as he raised his hands in the air.
"RISE!" He said, his words echoing throughout the Zhou World once again.
Cracks started to form in the ground around the area where Zhou Fan and Anna were fighting. All of a sudden, a skeletal hand reached out from the ground. It seemed to set off a chain reaction as similar skeletal hands reached out from the ground and pulled themselves up. What crawled out of the ground was not a living being, but a skeleton.
The skeletons had not come back to life, but were powered by Qi and had the sole instinct to kill other life.
There were two types of skeletons that were "Reanimated". The first type were the ones that had lived in the past. That group was made up entirely from dead celestials. The other type was the one that Zhou Fan had constructed in that second where he raised his hand.
They were made completely out of Qi and resembled humans more than celestials. However, they were perfectly disguised and nobody would notice that they were made up from Qi.
Zhou Fan was winging the spell, but the results were great. Even the stoic and brave Anna had a face as white as a sheet of paper. She stared at the skeletons and her face became even whiter when she recognized some of the skeletons.
Many of them had died by her side in the wars with the other races. She even saw a few of her most trusted generals and students that had died long ago.
Besides the emotional effect of the spell, there was another part of the spell that made it terrifying. The skeletons that were raised from the dead had the exact strength they had when they died. That meant that at this moment, more than 10 soul formation cultivators joined Zhou Fan's side, including the ones he killed not long ago.
Once all the skeletons got out of the ground, Zhou Fan looked at Anna.
"This army." He said simply. "And as I kill more and more of your friends and family, even your enemies, my army will only grow stronger."
Without another word, the army of skeletons started to attack the soul formation cultivators that had been watching in the back since the start of the battle. They were immediately outnumbered in terms of soul formation cultivators and the nascent soul cultivators were just an icing on the cake.
For the first time since the start of the battle, Anna was starting to think that she may lose. However, she hadn't battled for 10,000 years for nothing. As she saw the soul formation cultivators on her side being pushed back, she instantly started to attack Zhou Fan with all her might.
She first punched forward with her fist covered in space Qi. Zhou Fan counter attacked with the tip of his scythe and they both pushed each other back. Due to her Space affinity, she was almost equal to Zhou Fan who only used Death Qi and restrained his strength to the fifth level of void traversing, despite being at the fourth level of void traversing herself.
Zhou Fan moved around with the scythe and became more and more used to using it. He eventually started to push Anna back. She responded by revealing another one of her affinities. Ice Qi.
