That broken sword was the biggest reward he had gotten ever since he entered the deity ground or even since his return to Earth. It was just a normal sword of a Heavenly Soldier back then which had lost all its Spirit Qi. It had even turned into a black iron bar that looked useless.
But Chen Fan was happy to have it.
A Deity Weapon was a Deity Weapon after all. Its level was much higher than Divine Treasures. It was like having a Divine Treasure for him. Even if it didn’t have the power and Divine Powers a Divine Treasure had, it was sharp and was able to break any Heavenly Treasure. Chen Fan had finally found a weapon he liked after having been reborn.
“You don’t even have a name, so I know you’re not a famous weapon. Feel honored since you’re able to follow me.” Chen Fan smiled and walked out of the Weapons Pavilion.
He glanced around to ensure he didn’t miss any treasure, then turned into a beam of light and went after the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace.
Even though the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace tried to hide himself.
The sword intent inside his body made him bleed from time to time, leaving more and more blood on the floor. Chen Fan quickly went deep into the Origin Divine Palace and finally reached a magnificent hall.
It was more than ten times larger than the other pavilions.
Chen Fan entered.
He saw the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace standing on one side of a well. He had turned into human form enveloped in a golden fire-like aura and he looked over coldly.
“How dare you come after me! You have no idea what you’re doing.”
“You’re just a Divine Prince. How would I be afraid of you?” Chen Fan walked forward and replied calmly.
“Haha, do you think you can kill me with that Sword Art? Don’t you know I’m different from those losers? How would I be killed by sword intent?” The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace sneered.
He had stopped there to rest for a bit. His energy rose, his face became ruddy and his body became surrounded by fire. Chen Fan even saw the red wound on his forehead disappear. That sword intent seemed to have been wiped off forcefully by the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace.
Chen Fan stared at him for a while and suddenly chuckled.
“A Soul Formation Cultivator made you a Natal Spirit Treasure. No wonder it can suppress my sword intent. But do you really think you can completely rid yourself of my Flying Deity with that?”
The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace said, “Hm, I may not be able to get rid of it right now, but my Ancestral Patriarch will help me deal with it easily after I kill you and return to the Star Ocean. As for you, even if you run away from me today, the entire Earth and the North Qiong Sect will still die with you!” His energy was being gradually restored. Then, he took out a herb with the shape of a dragon and crushed it with his hands; then he opened his mouth and immediately ate it. His power instantly reached the highest level again, as if he had never been injured.
“A Quasi-Divine Medicine that’s fifty thousand years of age?” Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.
“That’s right. Chen Beixuan, I underestimated you and only fought with you with just one weapon outside the palace. Now you’ll realize how terrifying the Apollo Sect is and how powerful a Divine Prince can be,” said the Divine Prince he took out three pills, which released some sacred energy; they were Quasi-Divine Medicines that looked like fire.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The fire around the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace became larger after taking three Quasi-Divine Medicines, turning into a sun behind him in the end. His energy was also a few times more powerful than it used to be, as if he were about to break through the peak-stage Nascent Soul Level. His eyes were glittering and energy surged out of his mouth, ears and nose. He also seemed a bit overwhelmed by the medicinal power of the three pills.
But it wasn’t enough.
He took out something the size of his fist that was surrounded by golden light from his ring and said to Chen Fan, “Chen Beixuan, you may not have heard of this treasure.
“This is the ‘Apollo Armor’ made by our Divine Emperor. It can only be used three times, but it’ll grant me the power above the Nascent Soul Level, just like a Soul Formation Grand Cultivator every time I use it. There are only a few treasures like this in the Apollo Palace and they’re only offered to Divine Princes like me. I didn’t want to use this treasure, but I have to since you’ve formed the three flowers of energy, which are something I’ve never seen before,” said the Divine Prince as he opened his hand.
That golden light surrounded him and turned into a golden armor. The armor was entirely made with gold and it carried a sacred energy.
Once the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace donned the armor, his energy surged and reached an unimaginable level.
“Boom!”
In the sky.
The shapeless Dharma Laws appeared. Some of them even turned into chains. The golden Dharma Laws representing the sun were burning and they twined around the entire palace.
The energy of the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace soared continuously. His body didn’t change, but there seemed to be an entity rising behind him, looking at the entire human world.
“Chen Beixuan, you’re like an ant in front of me. I can stomp you to death. You don’t know how powerful and how terrifying I am right now!” said the Divine Prince.
His voice shook the world and even the temple let out some thunderous sound.
A golden spear appeared in the hand of the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace. Even though he was just a Nascent Soul Cultivator right then, he was surrounded by fire and was unbelievably powerful like the God of War, with the energy of the Apollo Armor and the spear that seemed to be able to penetrate Chen Fan and split his body in half.
As he faced the Divine Prince, Chen Fan slowly raised the black iron bar in his hand.
“This in my hand is a Quasi-Divine Spear made by a Soul Formation Grand Cultivator and I’m wearing the ‘Apollo Armor’ offered by the Divine Emperor. How would you be able to injure me with that indifferent black metal? Are you nuts?”
The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace burst into laughter.
Chen Fan remained silent and slashed with the sword.
The next second, a beam of light was shot through the hall. The “armor,” the energy, the Dharma Treasure, everything seemed vulnerable.
