Rebirth Of The Urban Immortal Cultivator

Chapter 1182: Killed with a Slash

“Yes, I killed Jiang Xu.”

Divine Lord Tatian nodded without trying to conceal the fact. His expression didn’t change a bit, either.

“Only one cultivator was able to reach the Soul Formation Level in an era. Jiang Xu was quite talented, even stronger than me. I don’t have to worry about anything while I’m still alive, but the disciples of Mount Emperor would have definitely been no match for him once I died. I’d never let such a huge threat exist, so I interfered in his battle with Mangya.

“Jiang Xu was very strong and Mangya was too weak to be his opponent. He was comparable to those so-called Half Grand Cultivators from large sects in the Star Ocean and was close to your level, but he had underestimated the power of a Grand Cultivator after all. Your planet indeed has a lot of talents, Jiang Xu a hundred thousand years ago, Heaven’s Equal five thousand years ago, and now, you. What I did was right. So, I would no longer be able to suppress you if I came later and allowed you to grow.”

The young man in black looked at Chen Fan with an indifferent yet cold look.

A hundred thousand years prior, Divine Lord Jiang—who shone over Planet East and was known as the second Grand Cultivator—was crushed like an ant with ease by the black-robed young man. A few thousand years past, he had detained Heaven’s Equal. And this day, he was going to act again, killing Chen Fan?

All the Chinese and the people on Earth who had heard the voice gritted their teeth, but also felt sorrowful.

The powerful Divine Lord Jiang had died and Heaven’s Equal had been detained for a few thousand years. What about Chen Fan?

Chen Fan was still looking calm. Even though the solemnity in his eyes had not diminished at all, his viciousness rose even higher. “So, you’re also behind the detention of Heaven’s Equal, the changes on Earth a few thousand years ago and the Universe Predators?”

Chen Fan had been wondering.

Universe Predators had already been extinct in the universe a long time before. Why would they appear in the Abandoned Planet Region? The person who could command or herd those extremely fierce monsters had to be an unimaginable Super Overlord.

“Right, that was me as well,” Divine Lord Tatian replied.

He looked at the Earth with greed, fear and yearning in his eyes. “You ants can enter and leave this planet freely and you even think it’s a peaceful hometown. And yet, in my eyes, it’s the most dangerous land there is, with dense Dharma Laws and layers of Deity Arrays. It is on par with the Thunder Pool in Heaven.”

As Tatian spoke, the greed in his eyes became stronger.

“That is why, in the last hundred thousand years, I sent out my Immortal Will while I was asleep to train a group of Universe Predators to scour the universe. They would immediately kill Overlords whenever they rose. Eighty thousand years ago, fifty-three thousand years ago, thirty-four thousand years ago and three thousand years ago, I sent someone or something to attack this planet six times in a row and I finally made it decline. I can’t believe you still had the chance to rise again.”

Six times in a hundred thousand years?

The Chinese, including the Deities from the Realm of Kunxu, all of them froze at the same time.

They had never thought that they had been in fact controlled by someone in secret while seemingly growing peacefully on Earth. Cultivators rose one after the other and were killed one by one. They could have already become the heroes, the ruling center of the entire Abandoned Planet Region. And yet, Divine Lord Tatian had killed them.

Even though Tatian didn’t tell them more about the things that happened in the past hundred thousand years, they knew that there could have been some astonishing Overlords who could have dominated the universe, but they had died in hatred by his hand.

“Tatian!”

At that moment...

Countless people on Earth gritted their teeth.

The Grand Elder of the Chinese even knelt on the ground as he trembled and cried. Azure Dragon was so furious his whole body was shaking as where he stood. The girls of the North Qiong Sect, A’Xiu, Jiang Churan and Qi Xiu’er, and the ordinary people like Chen Jiuyang, Gao Baisheng and Yang Chao—they also gritted their teeth after hearing that.

If it weren’t for Divine Lord Tatian—

Divine Lord Jiang wouldn’t have died and Heaven’s Equal would have never needed to leave, to later be detained. Countless talented Overlords from Planet East would have survived in those hundred thousand years. Earth would have been the center of the whole Abandoned Planet Region if one of them would have later risen to become a Soul Formation Cultivator; everyone would have been spared from so much suffering. People had to leave, Spirit Qi had been exhausted and the planet had been conquered by the alien races coming from other planets and the large sects in the Star Ocean.

It turned out that Tatian was behind all of it!

Suddenly, someone shouted to the sky, “Kill him!”

Even though they were just ordinary people and their voices were too weak to be heard past the atmosphere, Chen Fan seemed to have heard it. He looked at the young man in black robe with even more coldness in his eyes.

Divine Lord Tatian said with a cold voice, “Don’t look at me like that. Killing talents is what a leader should do. Chen Beixuan, I didn’t say anything when you rose and leveled Mount Emperor. Legitimacy belongs to the victor. The disciples of Mount Emperor are worthless. They weren’t able to protect their own sect and even provoked an imposing enemy. Having been eliminated was their own doing.”

“So, you’re not here for Mount Emperor?” Chen Fan frowned.

“Haha, Chen Beixuan, you’ve underestimated me... Or, it would be more appropriate to say you’ve underestimated a Soul Formation Cultivator.” Divine Lord Tatian burst into laughter, but the coldness in his eyes remained. He kept his gaze on Chen Fan.

“It’s just Mount Emperor. I don’t care if it’s exterminated. How would I do anything for a group of unimportant cultivators? I’m here because you’re disturbing me.

“Chen Beixuan, you may not know this, but I had already noticed you when you were on Planet Tianhuang. I saw you as a baby back then, thinking that you would need a few thousand years to be able to stand in my way. I would have gotten the Grand Opportunity on Planet East and left this shabby place by then. I don’t mind giving you this planet region, but who would have thought you’d progress so fast? It’s completely out of my expectations, so I can’t let you live anymore.”

Divine Lord Tatian’s expression had not changed since the beginning.

What the black-robed young man said gave people chills down their spines. He had sent his subordinates to attack Planet East and kill the talents, including Chen Fan right then. He wasn’t taking revenge for Mount Emperor or his descendants; it was merely to fight for the sake of Grand Dao. He was afraid that the rise of Chen Fan and Planet East would threaten his position.

Many cultivators from the Star Ocean in the surrounding area turned pale.

Divine Lord Tatian was much colder than the cruelest killer.

Countless cultivators on Earth started condemning him on the Internet, but even though they were doing so, they still felt cold in their hearts. The man cared for no one and would resort to anything, even occupying his son’s body, to pursue a Grand Dao. So, what else wouldn’t he do?

Chen Fan flicked his fingers and said calmly, “You want to kill me just because I’m standing in your way?”

“I’m not going to kill you. You rose and attained Dharma Power and Divine Powers which I don’t even understand in a really short time. This can’t be due to cultivation arts from Planet East or Planet Tianhuang. You must have gotten the opportunity left by the ancient Deities on Planet East. Don’t worry. I’ll let your disciples, servants and your sect go after taking you down. I’ll simply catch you to ask about the Grand Opportunity,” Divine Lord Tatian said coldly.

“What if I don’t tell you?” Chen Fan asked.

“Haha.” Divine Lord Tatian chuckled with disdain in his eyes. “Chen Beixuan, you’ve overrated your own strength and underestimated the power of a Grand Cultivator. You’ll remain an ant in my eyes if you don’t become a Grand Cultivator, no matter how powerful your Divine Powers are, how much Dharma Power you have and how strong your weapons are. I may just need a bit more effort to deal with you.”

“Really?” Chen Fan replied.

The aura around his body became brighter and brighter. There were petals releasing golden rays of light appearing ten feet around him. They fell from the air and then disappeared right away, repeatedly and endlessly. Each petal carried terrifying Deity Laws, like the Dharma Laws from the Deity Realm, full of the energy of freedom; just as if they would go beyond that world at any time. His Deity Body, Deity Infant and Deity Soul began to intertwine, gradually merging into one. They formed an illusory, half-finished Deity Halo above Chen Fan’s head.

“That’s the kind of energy I speak of; it’s so ethereal and superior. Although weak, it seems to be much more powerful than my Soul Formation power. This isn’t the energy you should have. It has to be the power of the ancient Deities.” A trace of greed appeared on Divine Lord Tatian’s face.

Chen Fan was like the world’s best delicacy in his eyes. He could not wait to attack and swallow Chen Fan immediately.

Before Divine Lord Tatian made a move, Chen Fan suddenly said, “Wait, one last question.

“Are my disciples, Xiao Mang and the others doing all right on Planet Tianhuang?”

Chen Fan was enveloped in an aura and his body became more and more illusory. His voice seemed to be coming from the outside world. The broken sword in his hand also shone brighter. It seemed to have become a light sword in the end, with an intense interweaving of energy.

“They’re just a bunch of ants. Why would I care about them?” Divine Lord Tatian said impatiently, “Are you done? Although I was reborn in this body, there’s a time limit. Quickly surrender if you’re done asking questions; I still have to go to the deity ground and get the Grand Opportunity.”

“Crack!”

What he received as a response was a blade aura that penetrated the sky.

The blade aura was extremely bright, as if it were about to break the universe. At that moment, that beam of light—one that could break the sun and moon—was the only thing left in everyone’s eyes. Chen Fan was holding the broken sword tight with both hands, while in the midst of the blade aura. He merged with the sword and turned into a ray of dazzling blade aura, as if his entire body was infused by the light. All his Dharma Power, Divine Powers and soul were combined with the blade aura to make a single entity.

Boom!

There seemed to be a door opening in the sky. Nine Deity Generals stepped out with their swords attacked with a slash, splitting the ocean.

The Grand Divine Power, Flying Deity.

It appeared again!
