Chapter 1017: Crushing Mangya
“Boom!”
Chen Fan had never thought that he would ever get to fight with a dead man from a hundred thousand years before in his last battle on Planet Tianhuang. That’s right, Mangya was like a dead man to Chen Fan.
He was surrounded by Death Qi and was wearing an armor made with black iron from the Underworld. Although his Dharma Power was powerful, he couldn’t hide his old, weak and declining energy. Mount Emperor must have used some kind of special cultivation art to bury him, so that he could maintain a certain hibernation state and live through a hundred thousand years.
But this had also kept Mangya from accessing the outside world.
He had only sent out a Divine Lord talisman to help detain Heaven’s Equal back then, but he couldn’t do it himself, or he would have probably died. Since Mangya had been forced out of his slumber, Chen Fan could foresee that this would be his last battle.
Mangya also understood this, so he had to give his all.
“Whoosh!”
A spear made with black iron appeared in Mangya’s hand. It was extremely heavy, as if there were another world inside. Countless chains formed by laws were twined around the handle, and there was some Death Qi around it like the Reincarnation Spear of Hell.
“A Law-based Weapon?”
Chen Fan gazed at the spear.
Same as Nascent Soul Cultivators, Dharma Treasures could also gather laws and become the rare Weapons of Law. If such a weapon was in the hands of ordinary people, they would be able to control the law energy in the world. Those treasures were the Dharma Treasures Nascent Soul Cultivators used to fight in the universe; the Heavenly Treasures used by the cultivators of Planet Tianhuang were vastly inferior in comparison.
Chen Fan thought.
Since the energy on Planet Tianhuang had been taken by the Sky-severing Array, there wouldn’t be any complete Weapons of Law. He didn’t expect Mangya to have one.
“Kill!”
Chen Fan wasn’t the least wary.
The nine-color Divine Wheel spinned behind him. He turned into a giant ape, then grabbed a mountain ten thousand feet tall and threw it at Mangya. The mountain seemed to be able to shatter the world.
“Hades,” Mangya said slowly.
As he spoke, a yellow river appeared in the sky and coursed around him. Mangya’s spear had completely disappeared and turned into the river.
Some Heavenly Lords were immediately stunned.
“It’s the Law of Hades. The law Divine General Mangya mastered is the ‘Law of Hades!'”
The others asked what the Law of Hades was.
But most Heavenly Lords ignored them. Some old cultivators explained to them instead.
After becoming a Heavenly Lord, a practitioner would form and understand one kind of law, either the common ones like water, fire, thunder, electricity, wind and earth, or the non-mainstream ones like smoky rain, red dust, soil and ascension.
Everything in the world had laws.
Even musical instruments, chess, books and paintings had laws in them. There were once cultivators on Planet Tianhuang that completed the laws of chess and they formed a chess board every time they fought, turning their surroundings into mountains and rivers. Those who were under the Nascent Soul Level would never be able to get out.
However, the Hades Law, the Underworld Law and the Reincarnation Law were very rare on any planet region and they had endless power. Some said that not even Nascent Soul Cultivators would dare to touch the Water of Hades. Once they did, they would lose all their memories.
Mangya summoned a river of the underworld just like that. How powerful was he?
“What can Heavenly Lord Chen do?”
The Xu family sisters kept their eyes wide open.
The young cultivator next to them smiled and was about to answer them.
The Water of Hades in the sky ran through the mountain as if it were invisible and clashed against Chen Fan. A giant hole was formed on his body and there was yellow smoke billowing out of the edges.
One attack.
And Chen Fan was severely injured!
“That’s indeed the Spear of Hades!”
Everyone was shocked.
Even Lord Dragon frowned.
The Divine General Mangya didn’t seem to be affected by the restrictions of Planet Tianhuang. His Law of Hades was fairly intact and even the incomplete parts showed the power of the peak-stage Nascent Soul Level.
“Kill!”
The black spear in Mangya’s hand was glittering and the river ran around the world like a yellow rope, flashing towards Chen Fan.
“Open!” Chen Fan shouted.
He stomped his foot and attacked with the giant ape’s Divine Power.
“Boom!”
Dozens of shields rose from the ground. Each one of them had been formed by yellow mud. They seemed to be fragile, but looking closely, those walls were actually glittering, as if they were made of gold. All of them were ten thousand feet tall and a few thousand inches thick.
“Boom, boom, boom.”
The river clashed against the walls and broke eighteen of them at once before stopping.
Being an invincible Divine General, Mangya had more tactics than that. He started drawing some runes in the air with his finger.
“Oh no, Mangya is summoning the Ghost God of the Underworld,” a Heavenly Lord exclaimed.
Rumor had it that Mangya was born in the mysterious “Underworld Heavenly Region.” He had then been buried for a hundred thousand years, so nobody could imagine how powerful he was.
“Swish!”
There seemed to be a crack in the sky.
A giant claw emerged; it was covered with scales and was surrounded by Ghost Qi. The nails on the claw were extremely sharp, just like knives. Once it appeared, the world was filled with a terrifying energy; the cultivators in a thousand mile radius felt a chill down their spines.
“Underworld Summoning Divine Art!” Mangya shouted.
The Ghost God heard his call and another giant claw came out of the black crack. Its energy was comparable to that of Mangya. Most importantly, it was a Ghost God from the Underworld, and no one knew how many years it had been killing in that cruel world. Its power was extremely strong and the fake Nascent Soul Cultivators on Planet Tianhuang would never compare to it.
“Kid, I’ll offer your flesh and blood to the Ghost God of the Underworld!” Mangya said with a mocking tone.
“Roar!”
After the last roar.
The Ghost God came out of the crack and appeared in the world.
It was a few hundred feet tall and it had two hard horns on its head. It was covered with azure scales; its eyes were as bright as lanterns and there were lots of fangs in its mouth. There was a trident in its hand and its energy had apparently reached the peak stage of the Nascent Soul Level.
“This kid is the reason you summoned me?”
The Ghost God narrowed its eyes and stared at Chen Fan. There was a hint of greed and viciousness in it. “Although you’re just a Golden Core Cultivator, I smell something like the Divine Beasts on you. Your blood and body must be tasty. I’ll be able to reach the Ghost King level if I eat you.”
“Really?”
Chen Fan sneered.
The huge wound on his chest was healing.
“Kid, it’s too late for you to fight back now. This is a Divine Art I got from a disciple of a large sect in the Star Ocean. It can be used to summon the Ghost God of the Underworld. The power of the Ghost God is completely beyond logic. We can never compare to it.” Mangya burst into laughter.
He was thrilled about having the opportunity to kill another Chinese talent.
“Hm! The Ghost God of the Underworld?”
Chen Fan grunted.
He had received the title of North Mystic Celestial Lord in his past life not only because he had defeated the elites across the universe, but also because he had suppressed thousands of worlds, let alone a mere Nascent Soul Ghost God. He had once gone to the Underworld and killed countless Fiend Gods and Ghost Gods; even Ghost Kings and Ghost Emperors had died by his hands.
That was why he had been known as unbeatable!
“Kill!” Chen Fan shouted.
He turned into six fiends, then they merged into one in front of everyone else. He became a Fiend God that had six heads, nine faces and twenty-six arms. It was ten thousand feet tall and was enveloped in some dark Fiend Qi. When he opened his eyes, countless beams of light were shot out, as if he could see through thousands of worlds.
“Mangya, you said the Ghost God of the Underworld is invincible. What about my six ‘Ancestor Fiends?’ Are they powerful enough to fight with the Ghost God?”
Chen Fan’s voice shook the world.
The Ghost God wasn’t paying attention at first, but when it saw the six Fiend Gods, its eyes popped out. “The six Ancestral… Ancestor Fiends?”
The Underworld and the Fiend World were connected.
Chen Fan’s ‘Six Sacred Ancestor Fiend Art’ had the power of the six Ancestor Fiends. Each of them was a super powerful Fiend God that had once dominated the Fiend World. They were much more superior and stronger than Ghost Gods, even after they died.
“Damn it! Why is there a descendant of the Ancestor Fiends here? Mangya, you tricked me!” The Ghost God shouted as it turned around and tried to make its escape back to the Underworld.
“Too late,” Chen Fan said.
His twenty-six different arms covered with black scales stuck out and grabbed the Ghost God.
“Argh!”
The Ghost God couldn’t resist in time and Chen Fan directly tore it into twenty-six pieces.
“Poof!”
There were countless drops of black blood and azure scales in the sky. The Ghost God was torn apart before it could even fight back.
Chen Fan even stepped forward and approached Mangya. He ignored the river and covered the world with his hand.
“Since you killed my ancestors, I’ll exterminate Mount Emperor in return!”
The fiend’s hand was earth-shattering.
Divine General Mangya seemed to be as weak as an ant under that hand; crushing him would be an easy task.
