Chapter 94: Battles End - 94
Once Zhou Fan made the realization that hurting the ice queen would also hurt Anna, he ran towards the ice queen at full speed. In the middle of his quick travel, the dragon king got in his way and tried to stop him, but Zhou Fan sent spikes of death Qi after him and the dragon king had to back off a bit due to their strength.
With a narrow gap, Zhou Fan was able to reach the ice queen and confront her. He didn't hold back a bit as he threw his scythe at her then summoned a sword made of death Qi and chased in the direction she dodged.
Just as she jumped left to avoid the attack, Zhou Fan appeared beside her and sliced at her stomach in mid air. Anna's eyes widened and the ice queen deployed a frost shield as fast as possible.
Due to her hasty creation, the frost shield was very weak and was instantly broken through by Zhou Fan's death sword. Unfortunately, the ice queen was able to make a bit of ice at the bottom of her feet and push off with it.
That very move confirmed that the ice queen couldn't fly. Perhaps that was the biggest weakness of Anna's supreme move.
Zhou Fan didn't stop after missing once and instead unrelentingly chased her. As he moved forward to attack the ice queen a second time, the dragon king managed to destroy the spikes Zhou Fan had sent chasing him.
Zhou Fan was moments away from attacking her when a sound wave traveled towards him and interrupted his attack.
ROAR!
The soundwave was caused by the dragon king and even had a fair amount of strength imbued in it.
Although he didn't have to put too much effort into blocking the attack, he now had to restart his chase.
The battle continued in such a fashion for 20 more minutes. It caused havoc and destruction upon the area they fought in. Even the air was starting to distort from the pure strength that was radiating from them.
However, the battle was going to change very soon. Anna, who had been laying on the ground for a while, had recovered a tenth of her Qi. Although she couldn't really fight, she was now able to protect herself.
Without the burden of protecting Anna, the ice queen and the dragon king could focus all their strength into attacking. Zhou Fan was instantly pushed into a defensive situation. From the looks of it, he would not be able to win.
After another 40 minutes, Zhou Fan noticed the silhouettes of 10 giant beings in the distance. With a closer look, he could tell that they were ten of the strongest supreme beasts, each being at the tenth level of soul formation.
It was at that point when Zhou Fan finally decided to retreat. His purpose had been fulfilled and the battle was fun.
As the ten more fighters were approaching and the ice queen and the dragon king were attacking, Zhou Fan soared into the air and stood there unmoving. All of a sudden, an immense pressure flowed out of his body. It was much stronger than any other move that had been made today.
"You may have defeated me once, but I will be back. And I will be much much stronger. There will never be a day that you kill me for I cannot die. I am the grim reaper, and I will destroy your world eventually!" Zhou Fan said before creating an illusion in which deaths body turned to ashes and disappeared.
As Anna and the dragon king realized that the battle had ended, they let out sighs of relief. However, they felt a sense of foreboding. They instinctively knew that Zhou Fan wasn't bluffing when he said that he would be back.
They also felt a sense of urgency. They were itching to go back and start cultivating in preparation.
Unfortunately, there were far too many things to do in order to stabilize the current celestial lands. The dragon king had it easier, but he still needed to do some things after he exited seclusion.
With a goodbye, the dragon king and his ten subordinates left the area. Anna canceled the ice queen and stood alone above the icy battlefield.
She then remembered that her subordinates were locked in a battle with skeletons and flew to the location as soon as possible. When she arrived, there were only five people alive.
The only reason that those five were even alive was that when Zhou Fan left, the skeleton spell was canceled. Out of the ten soul formation cultivators that were currently in the central city, only five remained. Anna immediately recalled the celestial troops from their borders and ordered that all celestials gather up in what was left of the city for the next period of time.
Then, she started to repair the broken city and heal the injured people.
--------------------------
Zhou Fan, the true Zhou Fan, appeared above a mountain far from the battle. He had taken his disguise off and let out a sigh of relief. Whoever said acting wasn't hard was lying.
It was extremely hard to stay in character during the battle and he was glad it was over. Next time, he would definitely create a clone that could disguise itself as the grim reaper.
He had chosen the name of the grim reaper at the end of the battle when he realized that death would be too confusing.
Although he was exhausted and tired, Zhou Fan still felt anticipation for the next battle. After all, that was by far the funnest battle he had ever had. He also knew that next time, they would be prepared.
They would also frantically increase the strength of themselves and their people.
After getting his mind off the battle, Zhou Fan paid attention to the state of the Zhou World. During the battle, it started expanding at a rapid rate.
After a year or so, there would be an entire new section of the world to explore. It would also increase the size of the world by three times.
Chapter 95: Fortune Space - 95
In the meantime, Zhou Fan would have to find something to entertain him. At first, he thought about creating another race, but he decided that he doesn't want to confuse things and instead leave them as they are.
The next idea that Zhou Fan had was to make a way for the residents of the Zhou world to increase their strength. After brief consideration, he decided that the best way to do so would be to create rare encounters.
They would be reserved for the lucky and the deserving. As for the form they would be in, he soon decided that fruits were his best bet. He could design them in any way he chose and even pick out their effects.
After having the idea, Zhou Fan had to choose whether or not he would put the fruits everywhere or in a certain region. After another period of deliberation, he decided that it would be best to do both. He would put fruits in every section of the world, but he would put very few.
In a selected region, he would put a denser concentration of fruits. He would also have to populate it with powerful defenders so that you would either have to be strong enough or extremely lucky.
As for exactly where he would put them, he chose the very top of the world. Since the residents of the world didn't pay much attention to the top, he would be able to mess with it freely.
Zhou Fan then teleported to the very top of the world, the north pole. There was no flag or anything, and it was very cold. In fact, it was much colder than earth's north pole due to the existence of Qi. The Qi of the world had interfered with everything and made everything stronger as a result.
Cold Qi and snow Qi, along with the many other Qi's that could apply to the snowy terrain, flourished and dropped the temperature to an extreme degree.
Zhou Fan estimated that it was negative 500 degrees fahrenheit. Any mortal or even those at foundation establishment would freeze instantly.
The cold didn't bother Zhou Fan as he surrounded an area of 10,000 square miles with his divine sense to use as his development space.
He would call it the fortune space. It would continue to grow with the world like the rest of the planet.
Zhou Fan decided to start from the center of the development space and go out from there. The core area would be 100 square miles and be the most dangerous and most fruitious.
He would need a guardian of the area and it would need to be as strong as Anna and the dragon king at the minimum.
He would make a tiger as the king. However, it wouldn't exactly be alive. It would be extremely hard to make a living creature with talent equal to Anna and the dragon king, so Zhou Fan decided to make an artificial being. It would be able to think and act like a living being, but its strength and even its life would be completely controlled by Zhou Fan like a puppet.
It would still be able to eat, poop, and perform the daily things of a living being, but it wouldn't truly be alive. Nobody would know, however, since Zhou Fan would mask it as one. Even itself may not know it isn't truly living.
Zhou Fan started by controlling cold Qi, ice Qi, frost Qi, and yin Qi to form the shape of a tiger. He then gave it various features such as a mouth, nose, tail, and other features. In the end, it acted like and looked like a real white tiger.
Zhou Fan even considered it a living being after he gave it intelligence despite the fact that it was artificially made. Once it was born, it automatically considered Zhou Fan its father.
However, Zhou Fan simply created a cave and threw it in there, softly. He also gave it instructions directly to its brain and explained how it would continue to gain strength for a year straight until it reached the 4th level of void traversing.
He then created an invisible link between Anna and the tiger so that whenever she broke through to another level, a signal would take some of Zhou Fans Qi and increase the tiger's strength.
Naturally, Anna would never know the link existed.
After he did that, he explained the white tigers' purpose to him. His sole goal was to kill anybody who intrudes into the center of the core area. If they stayed outside a certain boundary within the core area, they would only be attacked by the other monsters or beasts that lived there.
Zhou Fan then created ten more monsters to take care of the core area. They ranged from the first level of void traversing to the 10th level of soul formation.
Afterwards, he used 1000 square miles to create an inner area. He once again created beasts, this time with the strength of soul formation 5 to nascent soul 10.
The final bit was used as the outer area. He put beasts with various strengths around it. They went from foundation establishment to nascent soul.
Overall, the farther you went in, the stronger the beasts were. The next step was to put fruits and other strength increasing items around the areas. Like the strengths of the beasts, their quality would increase the farther they were in the center.
He also made sure that every monster and beast knew not to touch the items but only guard them.
The first one he added was in the center, near the white tiger. He made a red tree that beared fruit once every hundred years. The fruit had red and black stripes and would give an amazing effect.
It would give anyone who ate it a ten times increase in cultivation speed for 10 years. In order for that effect to take place, Zhou Fan had to infuse an extremely large amount of Qi into the fruit.
