Chapter 1146: Forming the Deity Infant
Whoosh!
In the old, towering palace entirely made of an unknown black stone, wind stopped blowing, Essence Qi froze, dust fell on the floor and even time seemed to have stopped. Only Chen Fan was sitting in the air alone with his legs crossed.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes…
A long time later.
Chen Fan didn’t have the tiniest bit of energy around him, like a clay sculpture. All of the golden light went back into his body and there wasn’t even a movement of Dharma Power. His skin also looked dull as if he had died thousands of years before.
Such a condition lasted for three days and three nights.
Suddenly…
Boom.
Chen Fan’s body cracked.
Countless light golden pieces of bone, azure blood and organs enveloped in a five-colored aura cracked and blood splashed all around the entire Origin Divine Palace. Even his head was gone. There was only a sphere of golden light left, expanding quickly. Chen Fan’s Divine Soul could be seen floating inside it, trying to balance the powerful Essence Qi within his body.
An unclear voice sounded. “Form!”
Swish!
Countless drops of blood and pieces of bones and organs in the surroundings seemed to have been grabbed by an invisible hand, gathering back in the golden light sphere, forming Chen Fan’s body.
In less than two days the body had been rebuilt.
Boom.
His body exploded again and the golden light sphere expanded to a larger size than it used to be. The strong light moved violently and there seemed to be countless air currents moving about, which were on the verge of breaking the entire light ball.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan’s Divine Soul still looked indifferent. He only shouted again.
Drops of blood and many bones came together again and formed Chen Fan’s body.
Just like that.
Nine times in a row.
Chen Fan’s body broke nine times, more shattered time after time. In the end, there wasn’t even a small tiny piece of bone. All of it had turned into small particles. However, Chen Fan still brought his body parts back together. It did get harder towards the end and the fire on Chen Fan’s Deity Soul also seemed a bit dull. His Deity Body wasn’t as perfect and powerful as it used to be, just like a flawed diamond.
However, Chen Fan had still been reborn nine times with his supreme Divine Powers each time his body was shattered.
Every time he was reborn—
Although the energy of his Deity Body became weaker, countless azure thunderbolts struck and imprinted many Dharma Laws inside, giving his body a hint of ancient, eternal and uncertain energy. Those Dharma Laws not only entered his body, but also his True Essence and Divine Soul, which made the golden light sphere shrink at the same time.
“Boom!”
When he was reborn the ninth time—
The golden light sphere in his body finally shrunk to the size of a goose egg. It let out rays of gentle light like a placenta. An endless, illusory energy surged inside and an astonishing miracle unknown to the world was happening.
“Boom!”
An extremely vague sound came from that golden placenta, like a baby’s heartbeat.
Then.
Thump, thump, thump!
The second, third, forth… The sound became stronger, one after the other. It shook the world in the end, as if God were playing the drum. All creatures in a hundred mile range felt that their bodies were weak.
“Boom!”
When the ninth sound was heard—
The fiends below the Nascent Soul Level in a thousand mile radius were all crushed at the same time. Even the Nascent Soul Fiends bled and were severely injured. All of them were terrified and they ran away like crazy.
Even the demons in the Six Sacred Fiend World and the Divine Soul of the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace also emerged and looked at Chen Fan dumbfoundedly.
“What’s happening?”the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace wondered.
He had been trapped in the Six Sacred Fiend World for more than a year, so he had no idea what was happening out there. Mu Xiao and the Soul Eating Beast then said with a hoarse voice, moved by joy, “Master… is going through the Tribulation to form the Nascent Soul!”
Even though their bodies had been crushed and their Divine Souls had been killed by Divine General Yin Hai, they had made a complete recovery after a few months resting in the Six Sacred Fiend World. All of their wounds had been healed and they became even more powerful than they used to be.
“Going through the Tribulation to form the Nascent Soul? This guy is truly a Golden Core Cultivator?” The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace was completely stunned.
He thought Chen Fan was also a Divine Prince who had used a divine-grade Golden Core to form the Nascent Soul, but was much more powerful and talented than he was, may very well be the descendant of some Celestial Sect or sacred ground.
He had never thought that Chen Fan would truly be a Golden Core Cultivator and was forming the Nascent Soul right then.
“How could there be a Golden Core Cultivator in the world, one who could kill almost a hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators and easily defeat our Divine Prince alone?” The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace was frightened. “Are those sacred grounds and Celestial Sects deep in the universe really that terrifying? Any of their Golden Core cultivators can defeat the Nascent Soul Divine Prince of the Little South Heavenly Realm?”
That was the first time the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace felt fearful of Chen Fan from the bottom of his heart.
More like, scared of the towering, unpredictable old sect behind him.
When facing a powerful sect that could shake the world by showing just a corner, Apollo Palace, his place of birth, was completely weak, fragile and vulnerable. Any Grand Cultivator from Chen Fan’s sect could easily crush the entire Apollo Palace with a finger.
“That’s strange. What Nascent Soul is he forming? Would he be able to master Divine Laws or even Sacred Laws by making use of his terrifying talent? Images appeared in the sky and resonated with the Dharma Laws of the world when our Divine Prince formed the Nascent Soul. The more images appeared and the larger the area covered by the images was, the stronger is the Nascent Soul. Why doesn’t he have any images? Has he failed?” the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace wondered.
Then.
A river with black waves appeared behind Chen Fan. It was entirely black and the black water inside it ran quickly with the Xuanming energy which could freeze everything.
The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace widened his eyes.
No!
Not only behind Chen Fan.
A black river of thousands of miles long appeared in the sky above the entire vast deity ground. Raging Xuanming Black Water clashed against itself and turned into some giant waves across the sky.
An image of the Nascent Soul appeared. It was so massive that it almost covered the entire deity ground.
But that was only the beginning.
Then, a towering Chaotic Divine Tree that held up the sun and moon appeared. Countless chaotic air currents ran down from the Divine Tree. Each of them could easily kill a Golden Core Cultivator. Every branch of the Divine Tree had a galaxy and every leaf seemed to have a world inside.
After that, an enormous Kun Peng flew around the sky with a world on its back. It was enveloped in the endless energy of the chaotic space, turning into a giant black hole, covering the sky and the sun.
The Xuan Wu, the Azure Thearch, the Kun Peng, the Thunder Loch…
Nine images appeared one by one.
Each of them was earth-shattering; they covered the entire deity ground. At that moment, all the cultivators looking for the opportunity in the deity ground and the Nascent Soul Fiends looked up at the same time and saw that astonishing scene. Some images couldn’t be contained and they expanded out of the dimension to Earth. A lot of people looked up and saw that strange phenomenon in the sky, but they mostly thought that it was just a mirage or some kind of art performed by a cultivator. They shook their heads and forgot all about it, making it only a topic for casual conversation.
But the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace was truly astonished.
“One, two, three… There are really nine images and each of them is extraordinary. If I’m not mistaken, aren’t they the Divine Beasts, the Xuan Wu, the Kun Peng, the Red Sparrow and the Thick Soil Giant Ape? All of them powerful Divine Beasts across the universe! Ordinary Divine Beasts couldn’t compare at all. There are only a scant few cultivation arts about them left. Every one of them are secret arts of the ancient sects and sacred grounds. However, this guy has cultivated nine of them?”
The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace watched the Dharma Laws in the world resonating with each other. Many Deity Patterns in the entire deity ground were roiling. When the images of the six Ancestor Fiends appeared, all the fiends within a radius of thousands of miles from the deity ground bowed at the same time, as if they had seen their master.
The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace thought as he became more terrified, “Who exactly is this guy? Why can he form nine Dharma Laws at the same time? I feel like each of them is superior and even more powerful than Divine Laws, as if he were the God of Deities. All his cultivation arts are strong; they resonate with the Dharma Laws of the entire world, making the world feel excited!”
Nine images appeared at the same time.
Even the most talented cultivator in the history of the Little South Heavenly Realm had at most four images. He formed four Divine Laws, dominating the planet regions around the Little South Heavenly Realm. He was known as unstoppable, finally becoming a Divine Lord.
And yet, Chen Fan formed nine images. How much more terrifying was his talent than that of the renowned Divine Lord in history?
In the end, the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace didn’t dare to think about it anymore.
And for Chen Fan, everything would happen without extra efforts. Once his Golden Core broke and his Nascent Soul was completed, the nine images were the most basic things he would have. When those nine images appeared, the golden placenta shining gentle light inside his body had also started to dim slowly.
Buzz!
A three-inch Nascent Soul sat cross-legged in the middle of the Qi Sea in Chen Fan’s dantian. It was just the size of a child’s palm and it had delicate features, similar to Chen Fan. The Nascent Soul seemed to be insignificant, but it was letting out beams of gentle light, carrying an eternal, free and perfect energy, as if it wouldn’t move a bit even if the sun and moon collapsed or the planet was destroyed, sitting there like the Buddha.
At the same time.
The nine Divine Forms—including the Xuan Wu, the Kun Peng and the Thunder Loch—appeared one after another behind the Nascent Soul. They turned into a nine-colored light and surrounded the Nascent Soul like a giant wheel.
“Boom!”
When the Nascent Soul appeared—
The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace, Mu Xiao, the Soul Eating Beast and all the Nascent Soul Fiends in a few thousand miles seemed to have encountered their biggest enemy. They all knelt towards the direction of the Origin Divine Palace as they trembled and bowed to Chen Fan, respectfully and fearfully.
A long sigh sounded in the palace. “Ah!”
Then, Chen Fan slowly opened his tired and complex eyes.
Two decades after having been reincarnated and going through quite a bit of difficulties, the Nine Deity Nascent Soul was finally completed.
