Chapter 1147: The Full Nascent Soul Power
Different from the others when forming a Golden Core, Chen Fan formed the Nascent Soul calmly and casually, since the Golden Core had been formed by gathering endless Essence Qi and Spirit Qi from a thousand mile radius, while the Nascent Soul was formed once the cultivator resonated with the Dharma Laws and merged with them to become one. The power of Dharma Laws was ethereal. Cultivators were completely unable to touch it before reaching the Golden Core and Nascent Soul levels. Apart from those nine images, ordinary people couldn’t even feel the power.
However, the demons and the Apollo Palace’s Divine Prince knelt down in the Origin Divine Palace, trembling as their minds were filled with endless fear.
In their eyes—
Chen Fan was still sitting there and his energy seemed to have largely decreased. Even the aura around his body had become dim, like a porcelain vase covered in dust, not as shiny as it used to be. However, they felt like Chen Fan had been sitting there since ancient times. Every move, every pause he made, even when his fingers slid in the air, all of it carried Dao energy.
The countless Dharma Laws in the world seemed to resonate with Chen Fan. As he breathed, a huge tide appeared in the invisible world of Dharma Laws.
In the world of Dharma Laws, they felt as if Chen Fan were the God that dominated everything, the God of Gods and the Emperor of the sky!
“Chatter, chatter!”
The demons were fine. They had already been suppressed by Chen Fan. He had even refined them to make them his clones and connected himself with their energy; they had gotten used to Chen Fan’s fierce power because of this.
However, this was the first time the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace had seen Chen Fan’s full power. His golden Nascent Soul knelt on the floor and trembled. The Solar True Fire burning around his body became gentle at the moment, acting respectfully toward Chen Fan as if facing a superior being.
“What is happening? I’m a Divine Prince. How can I kneel before a nameless man? He’s not a Divine Lord or a Grand Cultivator!” the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace shouted in his mind.
He wanted to look up. The dignity of Apollo Palace didn’t allow him to bow, but the fear in his mind because of the Dharma Laws rendered him unable to even lift a finger. The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace found that the Divine Powers of Fire and his cultivation arts seemed to have encountered something with a higher level as they faced Chen Fan. He couldn’t even use a hint of True Essence.
“Is that a Sacred Law? No, a Sacred Law wouldn’t threaten my Dharma Power. I’ve never heard of a Divine Prince being completely powerless to fight back when facing a Sacred Prince.”
The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace took swift action and mobilized the True Essence in his body. After all, he was a Divine Prince, whom ordinary cultivators couldn’t compare to. However, the Fire Dharma Power was afraid. If he attacked Chen Fan, the Dharma Spells would immediately dissipate in the air once he let them out.
The Divine Prince then realized.
It was a problem related to the Dharma Law.
Chen Fan had a Dharma Law of Fire that had a higher level than his, so his Fire Dharma Power couldn’t do anything to Chen Fan. From then on, Chen Fan would be immune to the Divine Powers of Fire. Other than Dharma Spells from a Grand Cultivator, nothing else would be able to hurt him.
And yet, the Divine Prince still had no idea what Dharma Law could have such terrifying power.
“Phew!”
Then, Chen Fan moved.
He slowly stretched his body, then unwound his legs to touch the ground and raised his hands for a stretch.
“Boom!”
When Chen Fan’s feet landed on the floor, the area within a few thousand mile radius shook, knocking the Divine Prince and many fiends down. The ground rolled like raging waves. The powerful Essence Qi in the sky formed a level-twelve storm as Chen Fan stretched his body, sweeping the entire Origin Divine Palace.
Many Dharma Laws, including the Xuanming Black Water, the Chaotic Azure Qi, the Void Dimension Storm and the Seven Malice Divine Flame appeared. The images that could almost be seen with bare eyes showed up one by one behind Chen Fan. When the Dharma Laws appeared, the raging storm of Essence Qi shook the entire palace, creating some banging sounds as the wind reached the walls. If it wasn’t for the Deity Patterns on the walls which stopped the Dharma Laws from going outside, an area encompassing dozens of square miles would have been destroyed by those terrifying images of Dharma Laws.
“Hm?”
Chen Fan frowned.
He had just formed the Nascent Soul, so he was still unfamiliar with that sudden increase of power. He reached out with both hands and tried to gradually control the energy which had soared countless times.
“Hum!”
Many fire phoenixes that were only an inch large appeared and flew in Chen Fan’s hands. Then, they turned into a black creature which was the combination of a turtle and snake stepping on black water. After that, they changed into several other creatures continuously.
Chen Fan wasn’t using a hint of Dharma Power to create such changes. He only relied on the Dharma Laws.
In fact—
Even though Chen Fan had lost all his Dharma Power and was just an ordinary man at the moment, he could easily kill a Nascent Soul Cultivator with the power of the Dharma Laws around him. The palace finally became peaceful again as he got more used to the energy and retrieved the images of the Dharma Laws one by one.
The demons and the Divine Prince had almost died in the storm of Dharma Laws. They had been tortured by the Xuanming Water, fire and Taiqing Yi Wood Azure Qi, making them want to die. The fear nestled in the Divine Prince’s mind was too much to be described in words.
“Did this guy form a Nascent Soul, or did he become a Soul Formation cultivator and went through the Tribulation? Why is he so terrifying? I can’t even withstand a bit of his leaked Essence Qi…”
The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace only felt that his Nascent Soul might be fake.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan closed his eyes to reflect upon himself and started looking at the result of his cultivation. He scanned his mind, Qi Sea, Nascent Soul, limbs and organs with his Immortal Will. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes with complex glitters in his eyes. He looked joyful and a bit discontented.
“Strictly speaking about the standards of the human world, I’ve officially entered the Nascent Soul level. I formed nine Deity Laws at the same time and cultivated the ‘Nine Deity Nascent Soul’ that has never been seen in history. I’d be regarded as a peerless talent with a strong foundation even among the legendary Deities or in Heaven,” Chen Fan thought.
Normal divine-grade Golden Core cultivators were only able to master a couple of Divine Laws after reaching the Nascent Soul level and having four would already be enough for one to be regarded as the top cultivator in the Little South Heavenly Realm. As far as Chen Fan knew, even the Central Galaxy had very few cultivators who could cultivate eight or nine Divine Laws.
As for sacred-grade Golden Core Cultivators, it was even harder for them to form Dharma Laws.
Chen Fan had cultivated the level two times in his previous life, only attaining five Sacred Laws when he reached the Nascent Soul level again. This time, he formed all nine types of Deity Laws at once. It was extremely tough and his body exploded nine times. He almost became crazy and was severely injured. However, he completed it at one go and didn’t need to form each type of Deity Law one by one.
“However… this is only the standard of the human world in the universe!” Chen Fan heaved a sigh.
Cultivators in the human world usually focused on only one field of cultivation, Qi Refinement, Body Tempering or Soul Refinement. After all, very few people could manage the three of them at the same time and cultivate them to the highest level. Too much energy and too many resources were needed. Let alone everything else, Chen Fan had used countless resources to form a Golden Core Deity Body. He completed it with twelve plumes of Deity Qi in the end.
Normal ancient sects wouldn’t have such luxurious means.
That plume of five-colored Deity Qi could be sold at a sky-high price in the universe and could even be used to buy a Divine Treasure embryo. Even Soul Formation Grand Cultivators and Saints would be jealous if they saw this.
Only the top Celestial Sects or ancient sacred grounds had the resources for their disciples to cultivate all three of them.
“I’m already better than all the talents in the world after being able to form the Nine Deity Nascent Soul, and my foundation is extremely strong. Apart from the gifted monsters and those who were born with the most powerful bodies, almost no one has a stronger foundation than mine. Unfortunately, this is just the standard of the human world…” Chen Fan wasn’t satisfied and he sighed.
He remembered a passage he had seen on a tall ancient stele somewhere near the Deity Realm that described the cultivation levels in Heaven. He still remembered one of the sentences clearly.
‘The Nascent Soul level is when the Deity Infant, the Deity Body and the Deity Soul reach the Nascent Soul Level and combine into one to create an endless energy called the Full Nascent Soul Power. This is truly the start of the cultivation journey…
‘This so-called ‘Full Nascent Soul Power’ is the most basic energy a creature in Heaven has after cultivating to the Nascent Soul Level and combining his energy, vitality and spirit. I heard that cultivators in Heaven use it as a foundation to make a set of rules corresponding to strength, calculating the amount of power a cultivator has at a certain level.’
Of course—
Strength gradings were just numbers; anything could happen during a real battle. A few numbers couldn’t determine the result. Divine Powers, Dharma Spells, treasures, arrays, talismans, martial arts and even combat awareness were all key factors that affected the outcome of the battle.
Solely speaking of strength, Chen Fan wasn’t the one who had the highest strength value in his previous life, but he had been the only one who was able to rise to the top of the universe, overlooking from above.
“However, the ‘Full Nascent Soul Power’ is indeed the base. With this power, I’ll truly be able to survive in the universe and travel across worlds. I can also go through the passages that connect two worlds and go around the chaotic dimensions without being torn apart by dimensional storms. I heard that cultivators in Heaven are only regarded as real cultivators after obtaining the ‘Full Nascent Soul Power’, to have the chance of becoming immortal in the future, like a grown beast,” Chen Fan thought.
The Full Nascent Soul Power had all kinds of powerful Divine Powers, far more than just strength value. There was only one sentence about it in the description of the ancient stele: ‘Once the Full Nascent Soul Power is achieved, a cultivator will be able to defeat a Soul Formation Cultivator!’
Reaching the Soul Formation level was even more difficult than going to Heaven.
Even when Chen Fan had become a Nascent Soul Cultivator in his previous life, he wouldn’t have dared to say that he could fight against Soul Formation Cultivators. And yet, the Full Nascent Soul Power could suppress Soul Formation Cultivators. So, how terrifying was it?
Chen Fan looked into his body.
He found that although his Deity Infant had been completed and he had nine types of Deity Laws which were extremely terrifying, the resources in the Origin Divine Palace weren’t enough for his Deity Body and Deity Soul to reach the Nascent Soul Level as well. Simply put, only his Deity Infant had reached the standard Nascent Soul Level of the Deity Realm at the moment, while his Deity Body and Deity Soul were still at the Golden Core Level.
“Dharma Power of the Nascent Soul Level, body and Divine Soul of the Golden Core Level. So, my energy can only attain the ‘Half Nascent Soul Power’?’” Chen Fan frowned.
There was too little Deity Qi in the Origin Divine Palace. Chen Fan was planning to look for more resources and leave the Abandoned Planet Region after a couple of years to enter the Nascent Soul Level. However, given the impending threat of the large sects in the Star Ocean, he had to rush and do this earlier. This time, he was only able to step one foot into the Nascent Soul realm.
“And yet, I don’t mind having just Half Nascent Soul Power. I don’t think anyone in the Abandoned Planet Region can resist my ‘Half Nascent Soul’ attacks with my Divine Powers.” Soon, Chen Fan picked up the pieces and snickered.
For a period of time—
Chen Fan remained seated in the hall, gathering some spare Deity Qi and cultivating his Divine Powers again. The wonders and power of the Deity Infant were completely out of Chen Fan’s expectations. He cultivated many Divine Powers and Dharma Spells in this life, including the Li Fire Golden Eyes, the Primordial Five Elements Divine Weapon and the Connate Grand Qin-na Hand. The activation of the Deity Infant made them show a completely different power; even the True Essence had some magical changes which Chen Fan didn’t expect.
Meanwhile, the Divine Lord Coronation Ceremony was getting closer.
It started raining in the entire Earth and the Little South Heavenly Realm; a raging storm arrived.
