Chapter 1149: Deity Art!
Chen Fan had strengthened all the cultivation arts and Divine Powers he had cultivated since his rebirth during his recent seclusion. He soon discovered that the biggest benefit of forming the Deity Infant wasn’t the nine Deity Laws or the strong Dharma Power.
In fact, the sacred grade was the highest level in the human world.
Chen Fan had formed the True Martial Sacred Body in his previous life; he had even fought against the descendants of the legendary Deities. He wasn’t any weaker than them, and he even smashed their Deity Bodies which were known to be indestructible. The Dharma Power and Divine Powers of a sacred-grade Golden Core and a sacred-grade Nascent Soul were comparable to those of a Deity Core and a Deity Infant. The difference between them was in the level of Dharma Laws and the nature of their power.
The Deity Infant was a level that could only be reached by the cultivators in the Deity Realm; there were naturally plumes of Deity Essence Force when the Infant used its Dharma Power. The Deity Essence Force belonged only to the cultivators of the Deity Realm and was of a much higher quality than normal True Essence. Not even sacred-grade cultivation arts could compare to it. All kinds of Dharma Spells and Divine Powers would automatically become more powerful when they were activated with the Deity Essence Force, and their effects would also be totally different.
For example, the Dadao Furnace Scriptures Chen Fan had cultivated in this life could originally turn into a giant cauldron to refine ten thousand arts. Then, many ancient patterns had appeared on the cauldron after his breakthrough. Looking closely, Chen Fan found that those were Deity Patterns.
The Origin Divine Palace was no more than an ordinary palace with Deity Patterns carved on it. It couldn’t even destroy Chen Fan’s attack easily.
After being strengthened by the Deity Patterns, the Dadao Furnace became more powerful and ethereal. Chen Fan would no longer need to use any Dharma Power to fight with the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace; he could simply burn him to ashes with that cauldron.
Besides, many Dharma Spells—including the Li Fire Golden Eyes, the Connate Grand Qin-na Hand and the Grand Five Reincarnation Art of Destruction—also had some astonishing changes, showing signs of developing into the legendary Deity Arts.
Chen Fan could even use the Skyfall Hammer of the simplest True Martial Thirty-Six Forms to shake the entire Origin Divine Palace. Endless Essence Qi and Dharma Laws were gathered, taking all the energy of the world in a thousand mile radius. He could even crack the ground if he attacked with his full power.
“Phew!”
The Divine Prince watched Chen Fan’s power evolve, as he stayed in a corner with fear in his eyes.
The longer he watched, the more desperate he became.
Chen Fan’s evolved Dharma Spells and Divine Powers had still been within the knowledge of the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace at first, but they had become completely unpredictable as they developed. For example, when Chen Fan slashed with the Thunder Divine Blade, the air was split and a black crack that was a few feet long would appear. Even a giant stone pillar in the Origin Divine Palace had almost been split in half by Chen Fan.
The Divine Prince was truly frightened.
He and the other Divine Princes had tried this before when they entered the palace. They had been unable to move that black stone wall, even after launching a full-power attack. The palace was old; it had stood for hundreds of millions of years. It had been built by some unknown Grand Cultivator, but the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace understood that it had to be someone of unimaginable power; maybe not even the Emperor of Apollo Palace had such a power.
“Boom!”
Chen Fan formed a circle with hands enveloped in a golden aura. He performed the True Martial Divine Fist and punched the wall. The stone wall made of an unknown black stone was dented; a fist mark the size of a sink was created. Although the wall returned to normal, that was still frightening for the Divine Prince.
In the end—
Clang! Chen Fan pulled out a black iron bar full of rust and slashed with the Flying Deity cultivation art.
Boom!
The entire palace shone brightly at that moment. There were beams of crystal clear Deity Light, thousands of aura strands and auspicious light.
Countless green bits of patina and rusts on the black iron bar were dissipated at the same time, and the iron bar released hundreds of millions of aura beams. The palace was filled with a powerful energy, making the world shake violently. The entire palace was like a small boat in the ocean. Although many Deity Patterns had appeared on the stone walls to resist Chen Fan’s power, it was all to no avail. All the fiends in a few thousand miles range knelt as they trembled; they felt as if there were a Deity King rising in the palace.
“Slash!”
Chen Fan attacked again.
The strong Deity Power surged out, almost destroying the Divine Soul of the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace. If Chen Fan hadn’t purposefully protected him, he would have been crushed to little bits, even if he was just under the pressure of the edge of the blade, let alone facing the iron bar directly.
“Clang!”
The Deity Weapon struck the stone wall.
Countless Deity Patterns emerged and Deity Light shone on the stone wall. Many golden array patterns appeared in an attempt to stop the slash, but the attack was a terrifying slash Chen Fan had unleashed using a broken Deity Weapon with the full force of the Deity Infant’s Dharma Power. Those stone walls were just part of normal architecture from the Deity Realm after all; they couldn’t block an attack that was so close to the Soul Formation Level.
“Boom!”
In front of the dumbfounded look of the Divine Prince, a hundred-foot giant crack appeared on that towering stone wall. The crack extended from one side of the wall to the other, almost splitting the entire stone wall in half. More terrifyingly, the Deity Patterns on the wall would never be restored after the slash. This meant that the hundred-foot crack would remain on the stone wall of the Origin Divine Palace forever.
The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace realized something. “Is this man as powerful as the most powerful Grand Elders of Apollo Palace?”
Chen Fan’s tactics had completely gone beyond what a Nascent Soul Cultivator could do.
He was comparable to those old monsters who had been cultivating secretly for countless years, and already had one foot in the Soul Formation Level, almost igniting the Divine Flame. He would probably be just a bit weaker even when facing the real Soul Formation Grand Cultivators.
The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace even guessed that Chen Fan could be one of the top ten cultivators below the Soul Formation Level in the entire Star Ocean.
It wasn’t an authoritative list ranked by young people like the Little South Heaven Roll, but one that had the old monsters of the imperishable sects and other sects across the planet regions, who cut themselves off from the world to cultivate and had been alive for more than ten thousand years. In the top ten! How terrifying was that?
Those old monsters had already gone beyond the Nascent Soul Level. Every move they made carried Soul Formation Dharma Laws and could easily defeat a hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators. Not even the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace was a match for them.
“This guy can truly run wild in the entire Abandoned Planet Region if the Sect Masters and Divine Lords don’t show up,” The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace thought.
Chen Fan still wanted to improve the real Grand Divine Powers, like the Jiujue Divine Thunder, the Grand Five Reincarnation Art of Destruction and the Passage Of Time. However, he decided not to after seeing the Divine Prince who was trembling in the corner.
If he performed those Divine Powers with the Deity Infant’ Dharma Power, he would really flip the world and shake both the sun and the moon. Nobody would survive within the Origin Divine Palace and an area with a thousand mile radius, except for himself.
“I’ve never had a Dharma Power that went beyond my body in my entire life. This is the first time I’ve had such a powerful Dharma Power. This is exciting.” Chen Fan smiled and shook his head. “All right, my Divine Powers and Dharma Spells are ready. It’s time for me to go out and settle the scores with those large sects.”
He raised his head and his eyes looked right above him, as if he were seeing the massive army gathering outside Earth, through the Origin Divine Palace and the vast sky!
