Rebirth Of The Urban Immortal Cultivator-Chapter 1137 - The Astonishing Divine Infant
Just like a sapphire, the blue Earth was spinning slowly in the vast, boundless space. A ten-mile old battleship floated in the universe. It was entirely made with an unknown kind of gold, flanked by thousands of Golden Core Cultivators in silver armor who were Divine Soldiers of the Wuji Sect. There were even dozens of old Nascent Soul elders standing on the ship.
Divine Prince Yi Qian stood in the sky with his hands behind him. Many rays of powerful energy were being shot from his body in every direction, without any restraints. He was surrounded by azure thunderbolts and was the center of countless stars, attracting endless energy like a black hole.
He only attacked with his hand to counter Chen Fan’s slash, which had turned into a golden ray of light. A thousand stars were intertwined in the sky and formed a Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish, rushing towards Chen Fan like a black and white halo.
“Crack!”
In space.
Beams of light appeared and energy was shot everywhere. The halberd and the ring of black and white light clashed against each other, creating bright energy rays and exploding in the universe like fireworks. The terrifying black and white energy was interwoven with Chen Fan’s Immortal Will, which cracked the air. It was a battle outside of Earth and it completely showed how powerful the two of them were.
Billions of people on Earth looked up and watched that scene anxiously.
Normal people couldn’t see the battle in space. Only some Nascent Soul Cultivators or Golden Core Cultivators using special Divine Powers could look beyond the atmosphere and watch it.
“Kid from Planet East, you seem to be quite powerful. I can’t believe you were able to form such a strange clone with your Divine Soul. It’s a Divine Soul on the outside, but there’s a Nascent Soul formed by Immortal Will inside. How ingenious!” Yi Qian said with a gentle tone. He saw through Chen Fan’s appearance and seemed to have discovered the Nine Orifices Divine Infant inside. “I love talented people, so I don’t want to kill you. Unfortunately, you killed my brother. No matter how messy he was, it doesn’t change the fact that he was a Divine Prince of the Wuji Sect. If I don’t take revenge for him, how could the Wuji Sect rule the Star Ocean and remain superior? But still, if you’re willing to join our sect as a Divine General, I’ll convince our Sect Master to spare your life.”
He floated in the vast cosmos.
Countless stars underneath his feet formed a beam of light like a bridge and some black and white energy spinned around him like a Yin Yang Fish.
Yi Qian’s power was completely beyond that of the six Divine Princes Chen Fan had previously met. Even the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace was weaker than he was. Strictly speaking, Yi Qian was a Divine Prince in every sense; his Divine Powers, Dharma Power and level were all at the peak-stage of the Nascent Soul level.
“Kill!” the black haired and black clad Chen Fan said expressionlessly; his eyes shot out golden light rays that were an inch long.
The halberd with dragon patterns in his hand shone and produced rays of dazzling light, crushing the air. Some invisible energy that frightened the world rose from the halberd and it attacked Yi Qian fiercely.
“You’re digging your own grave.” Yi Qian sighed. His handsome face didn’t show a hint of mercy. It was full of indifference, as if he was a God that stood above the world.
“Boom!”
Yi Qian became a Yin Yang Fish again, clashing against Chen Fan’s halberd with dragon patterns.
The Yin Yang Fish was one of the highest Divine Powers of the Wuji Sect and was called the “Wuji Loop.” When the day came that it refined the Yin Yang energy into the chaotic world and went from Tai Chi to Wuji, that Divine Power would reach the peak level. By then, it would be able to crush an area with a radius of a few thousand miles, including a continent.
“Crack, crack!”
Chen Fan’s halberd was invincible and extremely sharp. The halberd with dragon patterns was the first “Thousand Divine Weapon” Chen Fan had made; it had become sharp to the extreme after a few years of refinement. Many cracks were created in the sky when Chen Fan held it in his hand.
And yet, when the halberd struck the Yin Yang Fish, it was as if it were chopping a ball of cotton; the Yin Yang Fish was soft and rigid at the same time, while being extremely tough at the same time. Chen Fan was trying to break water with a knife… The halberd kept letting out bright golden light, but it still wasn’t able to split the Yin Yang Fish in half. Instead, the black and white energy turned into ropes and slowly twined around the halberd, enveloping Chen Fan in the unpredictable Yin Yang energy.
“My ‘Wuji Loop’ was made by combining the lifeless energy in Hell and the vitality in Planet Wanwu. I spent three thousand years refining it to this black and white diagram, putting all the Dharma Laws and domains of life and death inside, and it has a base with Dharma Laws as chains. Even peak-stage Nascent Soul Divine Generals would die if my Wuji Loop ensnares them. Your Divine Weapon would never be able to break it no matter what you do,” Yi Qian said calmly.
He was only mentioning it in passing—
But that Wuji Loop covered the world and surrounded Chen Fan, turning into a giant black and white sphere.
People had still been able to see Chen Fan before, but they were only able to see gleams of golden light at the moment. Although a halberd tried to cut the sphere open sometimes, it was like trying to sever water with a knife. The black and white energy kept circulating and there was no way they could be truly cut off. Even the golden glitter disappeared in the end. Chen Fan was completely locked up inside.
“His Majesty’s ‘Wuji Loop’ was already perfect. I’m afraid it’s even comparable to the second Divine Prince’s ‘Yin Yang Eye’ and the first Divine Prince’s ‘Azure Dragon Star Refinement Art.’” A haggard elder in a white robe smiled as he touched his beard.
The Wuji Loop, the Yin Yang Eye, the Azure Dragon Star Refinement Art and the Wuji Galaxy Painting of Wu Kai the Divine Prince Candidate were among the strongest Divine Powers of the Wuji Sect, which were the real Divine Powers for the Soul Formation level. They were all incredibly powerful.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
Black and white energy flashed in the air with some sharp swishing sounds. They were moving at an extremely high speed, splitting the sky.
This violent exchange was terrifying to the Blood Ancestor of the Kindred, Heavenly Lord Anpo and Master Ling Yun, who were watching the battle on the ground. Master Ling Yun even smiled wryly.
“The Divine Lord is too careless. Yi Qian is the third Divine Prince of the Wuji Sect and a truly mature one at that. He’s nothing like the six Divine Princes from before, who had just entered the Nascent Soul Level. Not even normal Nascent Soul Cultivators can resist them as they go deeper and further in the domain of the Nascent Soul Level. However, Divine Lord has only sent his clone. How would he be able to fight with Yi Qian?”
“Senior Ling Yun, is Divine Prince Yi Qian that powerful? Didn’t Master kill Divine General Yin Hai easily?” A’Xiu asked quickly.
“He’s not just powerful. There’s a world of difference between him and normal Nascent Soul cultivators! Yin Hai can’t compare to him at all.” Master Ling Yun smiled wryly, then shook his head and added with a sigh, “You still haven’t reached the Nascent Soul level, so you have no idea that the power of a peak-stage cultivator can be ten times more powerful than that of an early-stage cultivator. It’s like a dog fighting an elephant, let alone the Divine Princes on top of all the Nascent Soul cultivators.”
“Oh, why?” Master Ling Yun said quickly.
All the members of the North Qiong Sect were shocked.
The Nascent Soul level was divided into nine grades, just like the Golden Core level. The weakest ones were the Pseudo-Nascent Soul Cultivators on Planet Tianhuang. They didn’t have complete cultivation arts and the Dharma Laws weren’t intact, so cultivators could only become half Nascent Soul cultivators without the real energy of the Nascent Soul level, which resonated with Dharma Laws. The Divine Domains were the best explanation; none of the Nascent Soul Overlords in the Abandoned Planet Region knew cultivation arts for developing Divine Domains, while they were actually standard Divine Powers a Nascent Soul cultivator should have.
Then there was the early stage, the mid-stage and the peak stage of the Nascent Soul level.
Cultivators would normally have completely different Dharma Powers as they advanced and became stronger. It was difficult for them to fight with cultivators of a higher level. After all, their Divine Powers were much more powerful with a higher level. The strongest ones were the peak-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. Many Divine Generals, like Divine General Yin Hai, Divine General Naran and Divine General Mangya, were at that level. That was the peak of normal Nascent Soul cultivators. The next step was to reach the lofty and seemingly unreal Soul Formation level.
But Divine Princes were different.
Divine Princes had already formed a divine-grade core at the Golden Core level; they would already have mastered the “Divine Laws” once they entered the Nascent Soul level.
What were Divine Laws?
They were things above the Dharma Laws and had the power of overriding normal Dharma Laws; only Soul Formation Cultivators had such a terrifying power. Divine Laws were much more powerful than ordinary Dharma Laws and their Divine Powers were also much stronger. For example, Divine Prince Yi Qian had control of two types of Divine Laws, life and death. That was why his Wuji Loop was much beyond the peak-stage of the Nascent Soul level.
So—
When seen from the scope of the planet regions in the Star Ocean, the strength of a sect was also determined by the number of Divine Princes they had, apart from seeing if they had Soul Formation Ancestral Patriarchs or not. The more Divine Princes they get, the more powerful they were and the more potential they had for the future, since Divine Princes were much stronger than other Nascent Soul cultivators. For example, Yi Qian could easily defeat Divine General Yin Hai.
Of course, this was just a common situation and there were exceptions. In Chen Fan’s previous life, he had already killed Divine Princes after forming a seventh-grade Golden Core and was much more powerful than his peers when he entered the Nascent Soul level.
Different kinds of bloodlines, Divine Powers, Dharma Spells, Spirit Treasures, Body Arts and Array Arts resulted in differences in power.
However, Chen Fan was apparently being suppressed by his Divine Prince Yi Qian. Yi Qian only stood in the air with silver glitters in his eyes. He was able to suppress Chen Fan only by putting one hand behind him and reaching out another to control the “Wuji Loop.” The Wuji Loop formed by black and white energy twined around Chen Fan tighter and tighter. It shrank from thirty feet, twenty feet to five feet… three feet, almost smashing Chen Fan into meat sauce.
A’Xiu, Jiang Churan, Auntie Tang and Su Yanghao looked at the sky anxiously.
Even though they weren’t able to witness that thrilling scene, they knew that Chen Fan was in danger by looking at the faces of people around them. Many Nascent Soul cultivators seemed to be terrified.
That black and white sphere shrank from a hundred feet to five feet right then. Everyone was able to imagine how strong the pressure inside was. Even a Heavenly Treasure would immediately shatter if it was placed inside the sphere.
That was Yi Qian’s power, the third Divine Prince of the Wuji Sect!
Master Ling Yun shook his head and said without a hint of hope, “If Divine Lord Chen were here in person, he would still be able to fight with Yi Qian directly. A clone of his Divine Soul is useless.”
The Wuji Loop shrank, becoming smaller and smaller, as if it were about to squash Chen Fan.
Even Divine Prince Yi Qian shook his head and heaved a sigh. While the dozens of Nascent Soul elders on the Wuji Star Ship showed a trace of joy… a beam of bright golden light suddenly emerged from the ball made with black and white energy.
That golden light was so sharp and so bright that not even the black and white sphere—which had the strength to crush a planet—was able to contain it, at all.
Everyone looked up and saw.
One, two, three… Countless rays of dazzling golden light appeared, making the entire black and white sphere transparent. In the end, even the billions of people on Earth were able to see a child-like golden infant sitting at the center of the black and white sphere with its eyes closed.
That infant was entirely made with gold and was only eight inches large, but it had nine orifices, and there was an eye on its forehead and belly button respectively, like a Divine Infant that came from Heaven.
Then, the Divine Infant opened its eyes!
