Chapter 780 560: Identity Exposed, Unmatched in the Saint Realm

"You beasts!"

Gu Qingshan roared in fury, instantly understanding what had happened; Wei Fan had once again encountered an assassination attempt by the Black Nether assassins.

In an instant, his killing intent boiled like water, and his hatred for the Black Nether assassins was even stronger than for those Demon Saints.

Wei Fan was fighting for the Human Race, but the Black Nether assassins sought to take this opportunity for an assassination attempt on Wei Fan. If Wei Fan hadn't discovered the hidden Black Nether assassin in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"You come to kill Wei Fan at this time, do you think the Demon Hunter Organization will let the Black Nether be eradicated?"

He charged forward, extending a massive hand that could cover the sky, intending to annihilate the Black Nether assassin.

However, even though the Black Nether assassin had been injured by Wei Fan's tripod, their speed was still swift, and with a turn, they disappeared into a great path.

"Damn it!"

Gu Qingshan couldn't help but bellow, his gigantic hand striking empty space, unable to shake out the Black Nether assassin like Wei Fan could.

"You can't escape!"

Wei Fan was filled with killing intent, as these rats had targeted him, and they would inevitably find him if he stayed in one place for too long.

He didn't know if the current situation was related to past events or to Elder Dun of the Spirit Ruins Cave he had slain; now he held the Profound Yellow Tripod, whose terrifying weight greatly reduced his speed.

Even though the Martial Arts Celestial Eye could find the hiding place of this Black Nether assassin, its speed wasn't as fast as the opponent's, allowing them possibly to escape.

So now, if he wanted to leave the opponent behind, he either had to expose his true strength or use a heavy artifact to obliterate them.

Wei Fan chose the latter without hesitation; he still didn't want to reveal his identity.

"I can't escape, and you, Wei Fan, don't think you can live either..."

With a flick of his wrist, a heavy artifact appeared in his hand, and just as Wei Fan was about to strike, his wrist stiffened, shocked by what the Black Nether assassin said next.

"Wei Ran is actually you, Wei Fan. Your true cultivation has long reached the Half-Step Saint King Realm. If I expose this, all Demon Emperors under heaven will want to kill you, and the Zhou Family might even bring out their Emperor's Soldier. You disguised yourself to kill all those with whom you have enmity, deceiving the world, but not my Black Nether eyes!"

"Boom!"

The voice of the Black Nether assassin wasn't loud, but it echoed like a muffled thunderclap in the hearts of all present.

Wei Ran was actually Wei Fan, and Wei Ran was merely a disguised identity of Wei Fan, whose true cultivation had already reached the Half-Step Saint King Level.

Everyone's hearts thundered with shockwaves, their minds stirring with tumultuous waves, dumbfounded by the earth-shattering news, and even the fiercely battling battlefield suddenly fell silent as everyone turned to look at Wei Fan with shock.

If Wei Ran and Wei Fan were truly the same person, he would be the most extraordinary being since ancient times, breaking through to the Saint Realm for over four months and cultivating to the Half-Step Saint King Realm; just thinking about such things was terrifying.

"Die!"

Wei Fan naturally wouldn't admit it and didn't think much about why the Black Nether assassin could discern this; he just wanted to silence them first.

Even if it was exposed, he might not survive, and all the Demon Emperors under heaven would surely want to kill him, and even more terrifying beings might appear.

Putting away the Profound Yellow Tripod, the Martial Arts Celestial Eye had already locked onto the position where the opponent was hiding, and Wei Fan pursued, striking out without hesitation with the heavy artifact in his hand.

"Slandering me even in death!"

Inside, Gu Qingshan's emotions surged like a tumultuous sea, and even though the Black Nether assassin's words were incredible, he already believed them in his heart. He also realized that if Wei Ran was revealed to be Wei Fan, it would be a huge trouble for Wei Fan, regardless of the truth. He couldn't let the Black Nether assassin continue speaking, lest they provide concrete evidence.

Even though Wei Fan had already struck with the heavy artifact, he still unleashed a full-force attack to completely annihilate the Black Nether assassin.

He was curious if Wei Ran was actually Wei Fan but understood the gravity of the situation more keenly.

"Boom..."

His attack and the heavy artifact struck the same place, the destructive power engulfing the sky, quickly dismantling the grand path.

"My Black Nether has long possessed Wei Fan's original aura and won't mistake it..."

Within the rays of destruction came the Black Nether assassin's final roar, and then a great path a thousand feet high appeared and was blown apart with a boom.

[Killed Black Nether assassin, gained 500,000 years of ordinary power, 10,000 years of Martial Saint power]

[Ordinary Power: 8,390,000 years]

[Martial Saint Power: 104,000 years]

"Wei Ran is actually Wei Fan; no wonder no one knows Wei Ran's origin!"

Although the Black Nether assassin was blown apart, many of the distant onlookers still believed the assassin's words, carefully analyzing that the identity of "Wei Ran" was indeed somewhat mysterious.

Moreover, what the Black Nether assassins said made sense; after "Wei Ran" appeared, those he killed, be it from the Wang Family, Spirit Ruins Cave, or Zhou Family, all had a common point—all had a grudge against Wei Fan.

If they weren't the same person, how could "Wei Ran" only kill those who had a grudge with Wei Fan?

Everyone was shocked; if Wei Fan was indeed "Wei Ran," his degree of extraordinariness would rise even further. Cultivating four to the Half-Step Saint King, it was simply mythic.

"The Black Nether Assassin's words, ninety-nine percent must be true!"

Black Dragon Great Saint was in turmoil internally, because he originally knew there was a connection between Wei Ran and Wei Fan, but even he hadn't imagined that "Wei Ran" was actually Wei Fan.

It wasn't that he lacked wisdom, but rather this kind of thing seemed utterly impossible in the past. Even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors hadn't been so brilliant, even appearing dim in comparison.

Many people actually already believed it. The Black Nether's assassination attempts on Wei Fan weren't just one or two times, and Wei Fan had also killed the contemporary Saint Son of Black Nether. Moreover, with Black Nether's capabilities, they couldn't have been mistaken about something like this.

"Killing to silence won't work; we know you are Wei Fan. You both possess the Martial Arts Celestial Eye; there couldn't be such a coincidence in the world!"

A Demon Saint shouted, face full of shock and despair. Everything was exposed by the Black Nether Assassin, and there were too many clues linking Wei Fan and "Wei Ran."

Back at Lingxu Cave, the Black Nether assassin's failure and subsequent slaying after using the Tunneling Divine Skill was clearly the ability of the Martial Arts Celestial Eye.

Wei Fan was also aware of this flaw, but he couldn't let the Black Nether Assassins go. In fact, from the moment this Black Nether Assassin shouted those words, the matter couldn't be concealed anymore. It was likely that during the last time at Lingxu Cave, the Black Nether assassin had already discovered that Wei Ran was indeed him.

Even if this assassin didn't have the chance to say it, Black Nether had other assassins who knew about it.

In fact, he knew this matter couldn't be hidden for long unless he broke through to the Martial Emperor Realm and avoided fighting. Once he fought someone, his cultivation would be exposed; it was merely a matter of time.

He had always been reluctant to expose himself, as he had not yet accumulated enough power to charge into the Martial Emperor Realm. He worried that exposure might affect the accumulation of his power, though today's battle had yielded not insignificant gains.

"The Heavy Artifacts on your body were collected from the time of the Spirit Ruins Cave's destruction!"

Another Demon Saint realized that the Heavy Artifacts on Wei Fan's body weren't provided by the Demon Hunter Organization. Previously, they didn't connect these things because they didn't know that Wei Ran was Wei Fan.

"Always so keen on exterminating entire clans, you are indeed the same person!"

"I wondered why Wei Fan disappeared, and Wei Ran appeared, then Wei Fan appeared, and Wei Ran disappeared. Turns out, they're the same person."

Another Demon Saint roared in anger and astonishment. All along, the two people they wanted to kill were actually the same, making a fool of the entire world.

"Let's go quickly, Wei Ran is Wei Fan, we can't kill him. Only the Demon Emperor can!"

These Demon Saints were already filled with dread from being slaughtered by Wei Fan. Now knowing his true strength instilled greater fear. If they didn't escape before Wei Fan erupted in fury, all Demon Saints would perish here.

"By revealing my identity, do you all so eagerly want me to admit that Wei Ran is indeed me? Alright, I admit, Wei Ran is my disguise."

Wei Fan's eyes shone with a cold glint, the icy killing intent seemingly freezing time and space.

He knew that no matter what he said, some would hold fast to the belief that Wei Ran was him. Those with grudges against him, including the demons, wouldn't dare bet on them not being the same; they would inevitably try their utmost to kill him. Continuing to hide had no meaning.

Since that was the case, it was better to unleash his strength and slaughter overwhelmingly, shaking the world with unmatched power, massively acquiring the Power of the Human Path, and breaking through to Martial Emperor as swiftly as possible to ensure himself any chance of survival.

"No..."

All the Demon Saints' expressions drastically changed, belatedly realizing that forcing Wei Fan to admit was tantamount to unleashing the "Wei Ran" Killing God upon them.

Whether or not the Demon Emperor would come to slay Wei Fan was unknown, but once Wei Fan unrelentingly displayed his true power, he would undoubtedly annihilate all the Demon Saints present.

"Boom..."

The Great Dao roared, laws twisted, a torrent of terrifying power spilled from Wei Fan, shattering the void and shaking the heaven and earth.

Everyone was struck with awe, their scalps tingling, as a grand Dao towering 12,000 zhang pierced through the real world and the void, plunging into the boundless emptiness.

"He isn't just a Half-Step Saint King; he's already cultivated to an invincible Saint King realm!"

A Great Saint Level Demon Saint cried out in a trembling voice, their Primordial Spirit quivering, feeling as if pressed by an Eternal Divine Mountain.

During the battle of Lingxu Cave, the power "Wei Ran" displayed was only at the Half-Step Saint King Realm. But now, before them, Wei Fan had achieved Dao Condensation Perfection, with a Dao height of 12,000 zhang, far beyond any Half-Step Saint King.

"Saint King!"

"Wei Ran is truly him!"

"Am I witnessing a legend, achieving Saint King in four months!"

"Turns out we've always underestimated him!"

"No wonder he concealed his identity to kill enemies!"

...

Even the Human Race's Martial Saints fell silent in quick succession, overwhelmed with shock.

At this moment, even the heavens and earth trembled; only shock pervaded everyone's hearts.

Though they had already reached this conclusion in their hearts, when Wei Fan openly admitted it and displayed his world-shattering cultivation, their hearts could not help but churn violently.

"This is impossible, who are you really!"

Yuan Jiuling was filled with disbelief. He had once confronted "Wei Ran" and knew that at that time, "Wei Ran's" cultivation wasn't nearly this high. And he couldn't believe anyone could cultivate at such a rapid pace.

Achieving Saint King in four months, what did that make them, the Saint Kings, useless?
