Although the deity ground was full of prohibition spells, they couldn’t block Chen Fan’s Immortal Will, especially after he took control of the True Martial Sky-severing Array with some Dharma Spells.
Even though he didn’t have full control of it, he could see through the deity ground freely and was able to hear everything in a ten thousand mile radius.
So.
Chen Fan was able to see what was happening outside the deity ground and he saw many Nascent Soul Cultivators, including Ancestral Patriarch Fudu and Heavenly Lord Shenyan. He was a bit shocked at first. He had never thought there would be so many more Nascent Soul Cultivators outside after a few months. Each of them was comparable to Ancestral Patriarch Hongyang.
If he hadn’t completed the nine transformations of the Deity Wheel, he would have had to avoid them.
“Has the deity ground been exposed? Are they here to take revenge?” Chen Fan wondered.
Soon, he heard something. “Mount Emperor, prohibition, the Chinese, three months, exterminated, and so on.” Even though he didn’t hear them clearly, he already had a good grasp of the events that happened in the past several months.
“Mount Emperor!”
Chen Fan was enraged.
He had never thought that an imperishable sect like Mount Emperor would go after the Chinese! A few years back, the Chinese were still a lowly race in the most remote area of the Beihan Region. Even the Barbaric Dragons with a Golden Core Perfected Cultivator could oppress them; that was how lowly they were. Even if they had gotten stronger, they still had less than a hundred Golden Core Cultivators.
However, Mount Emperor decided to kill people of such a tiny, insignificant race.
“Great, Mount Emperor,” Chen Fan said furiously.
The Grand Elder, Qin Luo, Elder Mulei, Old Ding…
Even though Chen Fan didn’t really know a lot of the Chinese, they came from Earth after all. They were people that Chen Fan felt close with on Planet Tianhuang.
But Mount Emperor had killed the Chinese because they couldn’t find Chen Fan. This completely angered him.
“I didn’t go to Mount Emperor to claim revenge for Heaven’s Equal and the Chinese, but you killed my Chinese cultivators. Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?”
Chen Fan had never been so angry since he went to Planet Tianhuang.
He was radiating viciousness. Although he tried to suppress his anger since he didn’t want Xiao Mang to worry, the deity ground still shook slightly and the energy in the dimension still frightened Lord Dragon and the others.
“Brother, are you really all right?”
Xiao Mang was worried.
Her Dharma Power wasn’t as strong as Chen Fan’s, so she couldn’t see through the deity ground and had no idea what was going on outside. And yet, Chen Fan’s expression made Xiao Mang think of something bad.
“Will your cultivation plans be ruined if we get out early?” Xiao Mang asked.
“It’s ok. It doesn’t really matter where I cultivate as long as I have the World Thousand Spirit Water,” Chen Fan replied as he glanced over the lake.
The World Thousand Spirit Water was indeed precious to Chen Fan at the moment.
But it was something that the deity ground had formed by absorbing the Spirit Qi of Planet Tianhuang throughout the last hundreds of thousands of years after all, and was deeply connected with the Spirit Veins and the array. Even powerful cultivators like Chen Fan were unable to take all of it away, as this would destroy the base of the entire Dharma Array and would also activate the killing arrays in the deity ground. By then, Chen Fan might not be able to survive.
“Each of you, take one bottle of that water. We’ll leave in three days,” Chen Fan said.
Although Lord Dragon and the others didn’t want to leave, they couldn’t disobey him. They each took out a small jade bottle and filled it with the World Thousand Spirit Water, while Chen Fan sat on a rock, facing the lake.
There wasn’t enough time.
As it seemed, Chen Fan was unable to perfect his Divine Body, cultivate the super powerful Grand Divine Arts, Deity Meridians and Deity Arts, and go further to the Nascent Soul Level anymore.
“But it’s actually a good thing. I didn’t want to reach the Nascent Soul Level with the Dao Fruit, either. If I needed such a thing, I could have used other secret arts long before.”
Chen Fan shook his head.
He knew he had been stirred by the “True Martial Sky-severing Array,” which was why he wanted to return to Earth so desperately, but he couldn’t rush it. If he didn’t have a strong foundation at the Golden Core State, he would have to put in a lot of effort to compensate for it when he went through the Dao Reunion Tribulation.
He sat with his legs crossed. His black hair fluttered in the wind and his skin was crystal clear like the most perfect piece of jade.
“I had the chance to perfect my Divine Body and cultivate Deity Meridians, Deity Arts and the Grand Divine Powers, but I guess I need to change all my plans now.” Chen Fan heaved a sigh.
He asked the heirs of the large sects in the Star Ocean to prepare those Divine Powers for him. They were all powerful and created for killing. Many of them required the Nascent Soul Level, so Chen Fan could only try to cultivate them.
And yet, Mount Emperor messed up all of Chen Fan’s plans.
He had to get out and head to Mount Emperor. After that, he would probably never have the chance to enter the deity ground again. After all, the location of the deity ground changed all the time and he might not be able to find it next time.
But there were things he had to do for the Chinese.
“Mount Emperor!”
Chen Fan looked up.
At this moment, he didn’t have a hint of hatred, just a scheming gaze, ready to avenge the deaths of the Chinese.
Chen Fan had become extremely powerful after completing the nine transformations of the Deity Wheel. With nine cultivation arts merging into one, it was like having the power of nine Nascent Soul Cultivators within him. The sacred-grade Golden Core, Divine Powers and Dharma Forms he had were even more terrifying than nine Nascent Soul Cultivators working together.
Still, the North Mystic Celestial Lord had always been well-prepared. What if… Mount Emperor had a Soul Formation Grand Cultivator?
“Although I can’t cultivate all of those deadly Divine Powers, I can complete one of them quickly. Also, I’m not going to use the Dao Fruit to enhance my power. I can put my theories to the test, to see whether I was right. If it works… I won’t ever have to be afraid of Soul Formation Cultivators anymore.” As he thought of this, Chen Fan’s eyes glittered, filled to the brim with coldness.
“Boom!”
As he started cultivating, the lake boiled again and a water spout was shot from the lake. Chen Fan then sucked in the water to nourish his body.
He began cultivating his Divine Powers again. This time… he did it for killing!
Outside the deity ground.
The fifty-third level of the Ancient Demons had already become a battlefield, with the deity ground as the boundary. On one side, there were countless warriors of the Ancient Demons led by the five Demon Commanders.
On the other, there were a dozen light spheres floating outside the deity ground. Many cultivators came from all over Planet Tianhuang and were gathering in groups. Except for the disciples of the Heavenly Sects, the other individual cultivators and disciples of small sects would definitely be defeated right away by the Ancient Demons once they entered the battlefield.
“A motley crowd.”
Xiao Hong glanced over them in disdain.
Gu Xiaoyi smiled and said, “You’re the top cultivator of the Demon-suppressing Sect and you’ve led countless disciples into the Ancient Demons Realm time and time again. It is normal that you would look down on those individual cultivators and small sects.”
“Where’s Sword Fairy and Goddess Shenxi? I’m here for them,” Jun Aochen said viciously.
Not only did those three Longevity Roll elites show up; a few other Half Heavenly Lords and young cultivators were also hiding somewhere.
The entire Ancient Demons Loch had become a trap and everyone was waiting for Chen Fan to come out!
