Chapter 1152 - The Only Way Out?
Chapter 1152: The Only Way Out?
“Me!”
When the voice resounded, everyone turned around and looked over with wide eyes at the same time.
“Who’s that? He’s digging his own grave. Isn’t he giving a chance for Divine Lord Chen to kill by showing up like that in the Divine Lord Coronation Ceremony?” Countless Nascent Soul Ancestral Patriarchs shook their heads.
A’Xiu, Azure Dragon and the Grand Elder of the Chinese were even enraged.
Chen Fan was about to be crowned as Divine Lord, but someone had dared to make trouble in such an important event. It was a humiliation to Chen Fan, the North Qiong Sect, all the Chinese and even the Earth!
Everyone saw a thirty-year-old unknown Nascent Soul cultivator in a black robe, standing at the back of the hall.
“Who’s this? Which planet and sect is this Nascent Soul cultivator from?”
“He looks unfamiliar. I’ve never seen him before. I’ve traveled across the Star Ocean and met many Ancestral Patriarchs on all the planets, but I’ve never met this guy before. Is he a new Nascent Soul cultivator from the recent decades?”
Many were confused.
Only Heavenly Lord Anpo was a bit shocked when he saw the man in a black robe. “Him?”
“Do you know this man, Heavenly Lord Anpo?” Ningxin asked with a relaxed look.
“He’s a Nascent Soul Ancestral Patriarch from a planet at the border of the Abandoned Planet Region called Planet Tianyu. His name is Yao Xianyang. Planet Tianyu is located in a remote region and there haven’t been any Overlords on the planet, so most cultivators don’t know much about it. I met this Heavenly Lord Yao when I went past Planet Tianyu back then, but he’s just an early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator. Why would he stand against Divine Lord Chen?” Heavenly Lord Anpo was confused. There was hesitation in his eyes. “Perhaps...”
“Perhaps what?”
Before Jiang Hua asked—
A few others walked to the middle of the main hall of the North Qiong Sect, one by one.
“I also object.”
“He’s just a lowly junior from a declined planet. He’s not even a Nascent Soul Cultivator. How can he become a Divine Lord?”
“That’s right. Someone must be at least a Soul Formation Grand Cultivator or close to becoming one to have the Divine Lord title. Chen Beixuan is only a normal cultivator, with a bit more powerful Dharma Power and a bit more impressive Dharma Treasures, and he wants to intimidate us and become a Divine Lord. Don’t even dream about it!”
Among the few hundred guests that attended the ceremony, several others stepped forward to object.
In a blink, even A’Xiu was dumbfounded. She had never thought that there were that many people who weren’t afraid of dying.
“Heavenly Lord Yao from Planet Tianyu, Heavenly Lord Zhang from Planet Jiuzhu and Ancestral Patriarch Gu from Planet Chunyuan?” a guest listed where those people were from in fear. Planet Tianyu, Planet Jiuzhu and Planet Chunyuan were all located in the remote area of the Abandoned Planet Region, that was why their cultivation arts weren’t quite powerful and they didn’t have many Overlords. They were even weaker than Heavenly Jupiter and Planet Zheyuan.
Why would a few normal Nascent Soul cultivators like them dare to provoke Chen Fan?
Someone who knew him immediat talked to him, sending an anxious message with Immortal Will, “Ancestral Patriarch Gu, are you mad? Quickly, apologize to Divine Lord Chen.”
But Ancestral Patriarch Gu said coldly, with a serious look and a sense of mission, “Chen Beixuan, quickly step down if you still have self-awareness. Don’t defile the Divine Lord name. If not, the Abandoned Planet Region will become the laughing stock of the entire Star Ocean.”
“Right. Chen Beixuan, end this unnecessary ceremony and surrender now. Tell everyone how you despicably killed the honorable Divine Princes. Put down your hatred and you may still have a chance to live.”
The others also spoke righteously.
“Our Sect Master suppressed Planet Tianhuang and killed the Divine Princes of the large sects in the Star Ocean with his own power, and is recognized by the public as the Divine Lord. How would he kill them despicably as you say? You’re simply slandering him.” Qi Xiu’er widened her eyes.
“Chen Beixuan is just a Golden Core cultivator and the Divine Princes had already become Nascent Soul cultivators. How can a Golden Core cultivator kill Nascent Soul cultivators? He must have used some despicable means.” Yao Xianyang shook his head and snickered.
“That’s right. Chen Beixuan, have you thought about what the large sects in the Star Ocean would do to planet Earth and the whole Abandoned Planet Region after you killed their Divine Princes and angered them? How can we resist those large sects with our meager power? We’ll certainly be crushed to pieces if we stand against them!” Ancestral Patriarch Gu was enraged. In the end, his eyes widened, as if they were going to burst. If other people didn’t know better, they would have thought he was a righteous vigilante.
A’Xiu, Shenxi and Azure Dragon were so furious that their faces turned purple.
The black clad Lin Wuhua even pulled out her sword with a cold look. The Sword Qi filled the main hall. She couldn’t wait to kill those men who were talking nonsense.
But then, Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes and said, “So, what do you think I should do?”
“Simple. End this so-called Divine Lord Coronation Ceremony and dismiss the North Qiong Sect. Tie up your hands and kneel before the grave of the dead Divine Princes to apologize to them. If I say something good about you, the Divine Princes from the large sects in the Star Ocean may spare your life,” Ancestral Patriarch Gu smiled and said while he caressed his white beard and his long sleeves fluttered in the wind.
“And what if I don’t?” Chen Fan continued.
“Then, when the army comes, the entire North Qiong Sect and the Earth will be smashed to little bits. Even if I want to help you, the Divine Princes won’t listen to me.” Ancestral Patriarch Gu shook his head.
“Hm, you’re just some dogs of the so-called large sects in the Star Ocean after all, barking on behalf of your masters. My Master even killed the arrogant Divine Prince Yi Qian like a chicken. Why would he be afraid of the large sects in the Star Ocean?” Qi Xiu’er sneered.
“You ignorant girl. You’re just a toad at the bottom of a well. How would you know how terrifying the large sects in the Star Ocean and the Grand Cultivators are? Little girl, you’ll regret what you said today for the rest of your life!” said Ancestral Patriarch Gu angrily.
The others were also enraged and they joined in to condemn Chen Fan.
“All right, get out of here. Today is the day Master becomes Divine Lord. I don’t want to kill you and get the hands of the North Qiong Sect dirty,” A’Xiu replied gently.
Chen Fan had made another caldron of Butian Pills in the past six months, with the “Butian Medicines” he had gotten from the Reincarnation Sect, all for A’Xiu to strengthen her foundation and form a Golden Core again. This time, she had made it through the Tribulation and completed a divine-grade Golden Core, a top one among divine-grade Golden Cores.
At this moment, A’Xiu was surrounded by a golden aura and a sun behind her was about to shoot up into the sky. Although she was a Golden Core cultivator, her power was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator! She was even stronger than Ancestral Patriarch Gu and Yao Xianyang.
The Ancestral Patriarchs who attended the ceremony noticed that even though Shenxi, A’Xiu, Qi Xiu’er and Jiang Churan were just Golden Core cultivators, they were all quite powerful. They were either shrouded in chaos, surrounded by Red Sparrows or floating in the sky like the sun. Each of them had formed a divine-grade Golden Core.
“Together with Goddess Xiao Mang on Planet Tianhuang, the North Qiong Sect already has five future Divine Princes and a Divine Princess a decade after they were founded. They’re as powerful as the large sects deep in the Star Ocean. That’s an impressive feat. How did Chen Beixuan teach them?”
Everyone was terrified.
Although the Changshen Sect and the Wuji Sect had a few generations of Divine Princes, they were born over countless years. In the recent five thousand years, Yi Qian and several others were the only ones who had formed a divine-grade Golden Core in the powerful Wuji Sect. They might not be able to surpass the North Qiong Sect.
“The Divine Princes behind us are here for the safety of the North Qiong Sect and the Earth. Little girl, you don’t appreciate people’s kindness and even dare ask us to leave? You’re impudent...” Ancestral Patriarch Gu widened his eyes, furious.
A’Xiu didn’t bother to speak. She immediately struck an ancient fist pose.
Boom!
Her body was enveloped by a golden aura once she took that stance. She was drenched in the golden light like a Goddess of War. A golden light wheel appeared behind her. The entire main hall shook as she threw a punch.
The sky was filled with powerful golden vitality, which shook the area within a ten mile radius.
The fist carried sharp golden glitters that were incomparable, unstoppable and indestructible, as if a Deity God from Heaven were performing a Fist Art of the Deity Realm in the human world, making every single person who witnessed the attack feel terrified.
The supreme Fist Art the True Martial Celestial Sect had used to dominate the universe.
The True Martial Divine Fist!
“Boom!”
Ancestral Patriarch Gu and Yao Xianyang were just early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, some were barely Pseudo-Nascent Soul Cultivators. How would they be able to withstand a powerful punch from A’Xiu? The leaders were knocked out of the North Qiong Sect’s main hall, and the dozens of disciples who had followed them were even torn to pieces by the terrifying vitality.
“This head disciple of the North Qiong Sect seems elegant. I can’t believe her fists can be this domineering.” Many people were frightened.
Ancestral Patriarch Anpo and Master Ling Yun were as powerful as A’Xiu, or even stronger than she was. And yet, they didn’t have such a terrifying power, one that was able to defeat a few Nascent Soul cultivators like A’Xiu when they were Golden Core cultivators.
“You’re digging your own grave, little girl. You’ve just cut off the only way out for your Master and the North Qiong Sect. When the army of the Star Ocean arrives, the entire Earth will turn into a sea of blood. You’re all going to die...” Heavenly Lord Zhang of Planet Jiuzhu crawled up and shouted after being knocked away. He had spun eight times in the square facing the hall with dust all over his face.
Crack!
The air exploded.
A black hand formed with bark of withered trees reached out and grabbed Heavenly Lord Zhang easily, as if he were a little beast. Then, in front of everyone’s frightened looks, a giant head came out and swallowed the yelling Heavenly Lord Zhang whole.
Gulp, gulp.
Mu Xiao chewed with disdain on its black face. It thought that Heavenly Lord Zhang was too weak. Its appetite had grown ever since Mu Xiao followed Chen Fan; it would only eat those above the mid-stage or peak-stage Nascent Soul level.
“No, you can’t kill me.”
Yao Xianyang and the others were terrified. They turned into beams of light and tried to escape, but Mu Xiao and the Soul Eating Beast caught them and threw them into their mouths one by one, chewing them to little bits. The Soul Eating Beast even swallowed their Nascent Souls.
In the end—
Ancestral Patriarch Gu was the only one left and the demons surrounded him with evil intentions. They ground their teeth, rubbed their claws and drooled, as if they were about to swallow him. The others in the hall didn’t care about him anymore and they were about to congratulate Chen Fan for becoming the Divine Lord.
Suddenly—
A spear fell from the sky and landed in front of Mu Xiao and the others.
After that, an extremely strong, fierce voice resounded all the way from space, covering the entire Earth.
“Chen Beixuan, the Divine Princes are here. Come forward, kneel and surrender. Otherwise, the entire Earth will be crushed to pieces. Billions of people will drown in a sea of blood and you will be responsible for it!”
At that moment.
Billions of people on Earth looked up.
Countless Golden Core cultivators in armor covered the entire sky like Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. Even the sun became dim with such a large number of them.
Song Yufeng, who had just stepped out of the courtyard, shook his head and heaved a sigh.
“They’re finally here.”
Jiang Feifei looked up and was dumbfounded. Her face was full of fear.
March 3rd, 2028.
On the day of the Divine Lord Coronation Ceremony, the coalition army of the seven Divine Sects in the Star Ocean arrived on Earth!
