Chapter 1168  : Half Nascent Soul Power magic

“Clang!”

The three Divine Princes Qin Jian had brought with him were all Overlords from Qin Feng’s generation. They were peak-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and had the Quasi-Divine Treasure, the Yaoyang Divine Sword given by Qin Jian. The blade aura shone bright and the sword released thousands of light rays. The sword only vibrated slightly and there was immediately sharpness that penetrated the sky and Sword Qi that fell from the air; the terrifying energy made half of Asia shake.

“Swish!”

Yuan Yi also activated the Blue Sky Divine Blade. The Sword Qi swept the sky and the blade aura cracked the atmosphere.

The atmosphere that was dozens of thousands of miles thick covering Earth currently had a hundred-mile crack, just like an egg shell. Countless people looked up and saw the burning sunlight shining through the crack, as if the curtain in the sky would have been torn. Even before those four cultivators entered the atmosphere with their two Quasi-Divine Treasures, their earth-shattering energy had already affected tons of people; they fell and were trembling because of the massive pressure.

Those were Quasi-Divine Treasures!

They could crush half a continent even in the hands of the Divine Princes. Luckily, Earth had tough Dharma Laws and was surrounded by many Deity Arrays. Otherwise, those two Dharma Treasures could have sunk half the planet.

“You’re digging your own grave!”

There was coldness in Chen Fan’s eyes.

Earth was his weakness. The four of them were even going after the North Qiong Sect. Lord Dragon was the most powerful among all the members of the North Qiong Sect, but he was only a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. It would be impossible for him to resist against the four Divine Princes with Quasi-Divine Treasures.

“Boom!”

Chen Fan’s body flashed and he took a step forward, trying to stop their descent.

But why would the other Grand Elders allow him?

“Kid, where are you going? Our battle hasn’t ended yet.” The skinny old man smiled as he swayed his body and nine phantoms appeared in the sky. Each of them looked realistic; they attacked Chen Fan from all directions. Their attacks were silent and dim, but they in fact carried some terrifying, destructive energy.

Even a small planet a few thousand kilometers long would immediately shatter if it were to be smacked by the skinny old man.

“Right, Chen Beixuan. You’re not going anywhere without my permission.” The Grand Elder of the Wuji Sect also cast a spell and his hands were covered in a silver aura, letting out beams of light like a silver waterfall.

The Wuji Galaxy Painting turned into a river of billions of planets in the sky and blocked Chen Fan’s way, separating him from planet Earth.

“Brother Chen, we haven’t finished yet. How can you leave?”

The old man in linen clothes also chuckled.

A golden hammer slipped out of his sleeve before he moved. Once it appeared, it immediately grew, turning into a thousand-foot giant golden hammer and sped towards Chen Fan. Countless golden runes carved on it were shining brightly. Although it wasn’t a Quasi-Heavenly Treasure, it had been made with top Heavenly Materials and some Divine Materials; its power could compare to that of a Quasi-Divine Treasure.

The King of Falling Stars, Qin Jian, was known to be miserly, and to have many treasures.

Rumor had it that he had once fought with an elder of another sect who had a similar level as he did. That elder was known as a Half God’ and was also a Half Grand Cultivator, but Qin Jian crushed him to death with eighteen treasures. That was why Qin Jian was called the King of Falling Stars, meaning that cultivators below the Soul Formation Level would die if they met him.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Chen Fan crushed the nine phantoms of the skinny old man and stomped his foot to break the entire planet river. He then threw a punch, knocking the golden hammer away and continued fighting with the other four Grand Elders.

“Boom!”

Defeating the Divine Princes was possible with his Deity Infant and Half Nascent Soul Power. Still, he also had to fall back to counter the attacks from the seven Grand Elders.

“Are you really going to stop me?”

Chen Fan looked up with indifference in his eyes.

The seven Grand Elders either sneered, smiled in disdain or looked calm. The old man in linen clothes, smiled and said, “Brother Chen, just let the juniors deal with that themselves. We’re all Half Grand Cultivators who have one foot inside the Soul Formation Level and are ‘Half Gods’ by our own right. There’s a huge difference between us and ordinary cultivators at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul levels. If we interfere with their matters, wouldn’t we be bullying them? This isn’t something we should do.”

Even though Half Grand Cultivator wasn’t a level—

It was generally acknowledged in the universe that the gap between the Nascent Soul and the Soul Formation level was too large. They were too far apart. Many Overlords who had a divine-grade or sacred-grade Golden Core could still fight with Nascent Soul Cultivators, but even the most powerful Nascent Soul cultivators or disciples of the Celestial Sects would be helpless against the attacks from Soul Formation cultivators; their only choice would be to escape fearfully.

That massive difference in power was the reason why Soul Formation cultivators were so rarely seen. A planet region might only have one of them in a hundred thousand years.

So, Overlords who had gone beyond the Nascent Soul level, but had yet to enter the Soul Formation level, were often regarded as being in a particular stage. There were a lot of names for it, including “Half Grand Cultivators,” “Half Gods” or “Associate Gods.” However, there was no doubt that once cultivators entered that level and had a slight control of the Soul Formation Power, Nascent Soul cultivators would no longer be able to compare with them anymore; they would be unbelievably powerful.

“Get out of my way!” Chen Fan shouted and threw a punch.

Boom!

A colorful ray of light appeared in the universe. The incredibly strong power of the Deity Infant surged out, spreading in the sky. The ray was so bright it looked like a light bridge, extending directly from Chen Fan to Earth, stopping in front of the four Divine Princes.

“Not so fast, my friend.”

“Chen Beixuan, how would I let you run away?”

“Come back!”

A few old, calm and evil voices followed him.

The seven Grand Elders attacked again. How terrifying was their power? Speaking of statistics, the seven of them together had almost four hundred thousand years of cultivation experience and an unimaginably strong power. Even though they followed their own agenda, never really working together, each of their attacks were still unimaginably powerful.

Boom!

The entire sky was filled with endless power.

The sky was split open, Dao Laws rumbled, Dharma Laws appeared and an endless sacred energy filled the air.

Seven unimaginable energies that were comparable to an attack of a Quasi-Divine Treasure flashed ahead and crushed everything. Even though Chen Fan had attacked with all of the power of his Deity Infant, the seven energy rays broke through it directly. Those powerful energies still had some power remaining, which struck the Earth and broke a few hundred miles of the atmosphere. The planet—which had a diameter of thousands of miles—also shook slightly.

On Earth, mountains collapsed, the ground shook and cracked; rivers rushed down rapidly.

Thousands of people were either dead or injured after that attack.

“Now!”

The four Divine Princes also brightened their eyes. They moved even faster with the two Quasi-Divine Treasures, turning into beams of light that went straight towards Earth. Once they descended, they would easily be able to suppress the entire planet and defeat the North Qiong Sect with the Dharma Treasures in their hands. By then, everyone of the North Qiong Sect would be under their control. How could Chen Fan still resist?

Qin Jian smiled and said, “Be patient, my friend. Once my loser disciples reach the Earth and bring your disciples here, we can then sit down to have a cup of tea and talk about cultivation, in order to show the true demeanor of Immortal Cultivators. Fighting with others isn’t something Half Gods like us do.”

Every time he spoke, he called himself a “Half God,” which surpassed ordinary people or even the other cultivators.

He wasn’t referring to the Entities of the alien races. Instead, it meant a Half Soul Formation Cultivator. Grand Cultivators were like dragons and Gods, and it was a stage where life would transform and ascend. There was truly a massive difference between them and the cultivators of the four lower levels.

“That’s right.”

The pretty woman in a palace gown nodded.

She released the Mountain River Universe Map in her hands; it was extended with a bright light, becoming a world that enveloped Earth. That Quasi-Divine Treasure had turned into a few thousand miles long artifact, like a curtain in the sky. It was more than a few times more powerful than when it was in the hands of Qiao Zhen and Qiao Yu; it was really difficult for Chen Fan to break through it.

“Chen Beixuan, your disciples will die. Surrender quickly. It’ll be too late for you to beg when Yuan Yi and the others exterminate the North Qiong Sect.” The Grand Elder of the Wuji Sect also attacked again with the Wuji Galaxy Painting.

“That’s right.”

Although the other few Grand Elders hadn’t started attacking, they had secretly activated their Quasi-Divine Treasures and their powers soared like dragons.

They looked calm and relaxed. Although Chen Fan was powerful, having been able to suppress many Divine Princes, he wasn’t that special in the eyes of the Half Grand Cultivators who had lived and strived for dozens of thousands of years. They might not be able to defeat Chen Fan alone, but he would never be able to turn the tides when the seven of them worked together.

“Boom!”

Unimaginably powerful energies shook the air and the planets. Countless cultivators watching the battle nearby felt like their organs had been torn apart. Even the billions of people on Earth felt their hearts sink, as if there were seven Gods rising outside the planet.

Lord Dragon, Master Ling Yun, Heavenly Lord Anpo and Li Yuan were all startled.

The power of a Half Grand Cultivator was beyond everyone’s imagination.

Even though they weren’t truly Gods with the invincible power of real Grand Cultivators who could sweep thousands of regions, they could still fly like real dragons and shake the universe like Gods. Their energy had reached the peak below the Soul Formation Level which couldn’t go further anymore!

“Kill!”

A’Xiu even gritted her teeth, then controlled the sword array to attack the four Divine Princes.

Many disciples of the North Qiong Sect knew it was a critical moment of life and death. All the Golden Core cultivators exerted their full power and released their Dharma Treasures. Even though they would be kicking a steel plate, they looked upon death as going home.

“Although this sect has only been founded for a few years, they’re really powerful!” someone exclaimed.

The eyes of a lot of Nascent Soul cultivators from other planets sitting in the main hall glittered. They were all sighing, but none of them got up. Everyone knew that they would be taking a knife to a gunfight. There was no way they could win, unless Chen Fan was able to defeat the enemies. And yet, how would that be possible? Those were the seven Grand Elders, people who were like Half Gods. Even the optimistic people like Azure Dragon didn’t have much hope in their minds.

“Fine.”

And then.

Chen Fan turned around and looked away from Earth.

The Nine Orifices Divine Infant jumped out of his mind with the Destroyer Halberd and turned into a beam of golden light, shooting to Earth with the six demons. Chen Fan looked at the seven elders with hands behind his back and said with coldness in his eyes, disdaining everyone else like a god.

“I was planning to leave this trump card for the Grand Cultivators of other planets and those behind all this. Now that you have a death wish, I’ll show you what the power of a Grand Cultivator truly looks like.”

Before he finished talking.

The air shook slightly.

The three energies, Deity Infant, Deity Soul and Deity Body, shrank and merged into one inside his body, turning into a layer of dazzling aura that enveloped Chen Fan.

At that moment, Chen Fan wasn’t moving, but there seemed to be an ancient God rising from inside his body, filling space and the entire Star Ocean. Terrifying energy shook the universe and even the world seemed to be unable to withstand him. The nearby planets shook slightly and the seven Grand Elders, who had cultivated for countless years, couldn’t help but tremble. It was as if fake gods had met true gods.

Three Deity Energies were combined and the Half Nascent Soul Power appeared!
