Chapter 1157: Drenched in Divine Blood

“Boom!”

Faster than a blink, everyone was stunned by that thunderous bell sound. Even the Divine Princes and Divine Generals had spaced out for a while.

The Divine Prince from the Demon Sun Sect, Lin Yang, had been crushed to pieces by the small golden cauldron.

By the time everyone collected themselves, they saw a beam of golden light shooting out of the countless formations, flashing through miles of the sky and hitting Lin Yang. Lin Yang was an experienced Divine Prince of the Demon Sun Sect and he had already reached the peak-stage Nascent Soul level. He had all kinds of Dharma Powers in his arsenal, and was much more powerful than ordinary peak-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

But, at this moment—

His body was shattered. His entire body fell apart and countless drops of shimmering golden blood and pieces of bones flew all over the sky, as if a watermelon had been smashed by an iron hammer. The watermelon juice and the broken pieces were scattered everywhere, painting an extremely miserable view. Chen Fan’s attack, his Divine Soul holding a small cauldron, it was as if Lin Yang were a piece of tofu going against a walnut. His body, which was claimed to be the most powerful among the Nascent Soul cultivators—and the treasures of the Demon Sun Sect he had on his body—didn’t seem to be useful, at all.

“Lin Yang’s dead?”

Many people were dumbfounded; they had not even reacted.

Lin Yang was Lin He’s brother and he was recognized as the top super Overlord among the Divine Princes of the Demon Sun Sect. Normal Divine Generals were no match for him at all. The Grand Elders—who had been cultivating for fifty thousand years and were about to touch the Soul Formation Dharma Laws—were the only ones who could fight head to head with him. But then, Chen Fan had smashed him to pieces with a cauldron?

Chen Fan’s Nascent Soul was just a foot long Nine Orifices Divine Infant that was holding a small golden cauldron with three legs and two handles. It seemed good-looking and weak, but was actually like an iron hammer that could easily crush Lin Yang.

How could everyone not be frightened?

The Divine Beast descendant that was pulling Lin Yang’s chariot was a Red Fire Fiend Tiger that was a few feet long. It was a vicious beast that could frighten the dozens of Nascent Soul elders around it by releasing an earth-shattering roar to the sky. It opened its mouth and shot a thousand-foot pillar of black fire.

The fire pillar burnt over the sky and created a long black mark in the air, as if it were a trace of lava.

The most terrifying was that dozens of Golden Core Cultivators along the way were unable to escape in time. They were hit by the black fire and immediately disappeared, turning into smoke. There wasn’t even a little residue left of their Divine Souls and Spirit Treasures. The black fire also passed where a Nascent Soul cultivator was. Half of his body was gone in a blink; he quickly fell back as he screamed painfully.

“It’s the ‘Swallowing Fiend Fire!’” a Nascent Soul elder yelled.

The Divine Power that Guardian Beast had inherited that fire from the Divine Beast. It was a high-ranking fire even on the “World Thousand Fire Roll.” It was said to be able to burn everything, including the sun and the moon. When a real Fiend Tiger used this Divine Power, it could even destroy a planet.

That Red Fire Fiend Tiger might not have become a Divine Beast; still, not even the Divine Princes would dare to touch the fire spouted from its mouth. It was extremely terrifying.

“Dong!”

Chen Fan immediately turned into the Mountain River Cauldron and sped ahead.

Crack!

Some terrifying energy rolled in the sky. People could even see plumes of sacred energy rising from the cauldron. There seemed to be a massive river running in space, which was then suppressed by Chen Fan’s cauldron. Even when the Swallowing Fiend Fire made contact, the Mountain River Cauldron only released more golden light; it wasn’t damaged in the slightest.

“My cauldron was made according to the Super Sacred Treasure of a Saint in the Star Ocean. If you could destroy it with a small fire, it wouldn’t have been able to live up to its ‘Super Sacred Treasure’ title,” Chen Fan said as his body shone and flashed towards the Red Fire Fiend Tiger.

The beast let out a few Fiend Fires, but it was still unable to injure him. Its fluffy, yet vicious tiger face was then filled with humanly fright.

But then, a shout came behind Chen Fan.

“How dare you attack me! You’re digging your own grave!”

Boom!

Some more terrifying Fiend Qi rose from the place where Divine Prince Lin Yang had died. He took out a Substitute Divine Talisman to rebuild his body and Divine Soul. Blood and flesh were gathered, becoming Lin Yang again. A Fiend Sun floated behind him and the powerful Fiend Qi filled an area with a radius spanning for dozens of miles, turning the entire world into a powerful Realm of Fiends.

Dong!

Lin Yang’s black hair was standing straight as swords would. His face was full of anger; fire was emerging from his seven orifices. He was surrounded by viciousness which frightened the onlookers. This overly powerful Divine Prince of the Demon Sun Sect was truly scared and enraged at the same time.

What frightened him was that he would have died in Chen Fan’s hands after that attack, were it not for the Substitute Divine Talisman his Divine Lord had given him.

What made him furious was that he had been the only one among the seven Divine Princes present who had been crushed by Chen Fan’s cauldron and almost died. He almost lost all the reputation of the Demon Sun Sect. If that were to spread to the Star Ocean… it would certainly enrage the Grand Cultivator of the Demon Sun Sect, and he would smack him to death upon his return.

“Kill!”

A black, nameless sword flew out of Lin Yang’s chest. It was less than three inches long, entirely gray and extremely dark. However, it seemed to be surrounded by endless viciousness and fiend energy. When it flashed across the sky, a furious Fiend Snake dozens of feet long appeared in the dimension. Fiend energy filled the air, as if it were a Fiend Sword that had emerged straight of the Realm of Fiends.

“Clang!”

Chen Fan turned around and used the cauldron to knock the black sword away. Then, he clashed against the Red Fire Fiend Tiger again and swore to kill that Divine Beast descendant after countering a sneak attack.

The Red Fire Fiend Tiger also jumped a few thousand feet away obediently. When Chen Fan tried to kill it, Lin Yang had already rushed forward in anger with the sword in his hand. Chen Fan had to show his true form and fight with Lin Yang with the shiny dragon-patterned halberd.

“Clank, clank!”

Chen Fan showed his true form and struck with the halberd, immediately launching dozens of attacks. The halberd clashed with the sword in Lin Yang’s hand and thunderous sounds were heard, creating ripples in the sky like those seen in water and making the air shake violently.

Many Golden Core Cultivators nearby were even killed by the impacts of their battle.

Even the Nascent Soul elders had to step back. Only the Divine Princes were still standing arrogantly on the chariots like six nails, stably remaining on the battlefield and watching the two of them fight.

Chen Fan and Lin Yang used the most powerful energy they had.

Chen Fan’s halberd was like a dragon surrounded by a torch-like aura, while Lin Yang’s sword was full of astonishing viciousness; each attack carried the terrifying fiend energy from Hell. Normal Nascent Soul cultivators would have gone crazy and fallen into the fiend world because of the fiend energy within that sword, even if Lin Yang merely wielded it. However, Chen Fan had the Nine Orifices Divine Infant. His Immortal Will was as deep as the ocean and his Taoist mind was as tough as iron. Why would he care about fiend energy at the Nascent Soul level?

Boom!

In the end, the entire sky was in chaos.

Other people could only see a golden ray of light and a beam of black light intertwining in the sky. Every time they clashed, a banging sound akin to thunder was heard and bright light appeared in the sky, shining like the sun.

“Crack!”

Lin Yang slashed viciously, which looked like a black thunderbolt and created an inch long wound on Chen Fan’s arm. However, the halberd had also penetrated his chest and he almost died again.

But Lin Yang burst into laughter.

“Chen Beixuan, I’m not a loser like Lin He and Yi Qian. You’re destined to be killed by me today, if this is all you have. Stop resisting and die by my sword. In fact, the Grand Cultivators said that whoever kills you will become the Earth’s ruler. The Grand Opportunity on this planet would be mine, and the family and people you’re protecting will at my mercy.

“By then, I’ll send them down to Hell to meet you.” Lin Yang laughed as he constantly swayed the black sword in his hand.

“Hm!”

Chen Fan only grunted and slashed with the halberd from an unbelievable angle, as if it were the horn of an antelope. It miraculously went past the black sword and hit Lin Yang.

Boom!

Countless beams of black light were shot out of Lin Yang’s body, but he was still unable to resist the attack and was split in half. Although he was powerful, even stronger than Yi Qian—someone at the top of the peak-stage Nascent Soul level, the most powerful Nascent Soul Cultivator Chen Fan had ever met after his rebirth—there was still a massive gap between him and Chen Fan in terms of Martial Arts. Chen Fan was like an adult fighting a child; all the tactics Lin Yang had used were full of flaws and could easily be dealt with in Chen Fan’s eyes.

So—

Even though Lin Yang’s power was similar to that of Chen Fan’s clone, he was completely unable to withstand the attack. He could merely inflict small injuries in return.

Luckily, Lin Yang still had two Substitute Divine Talismans, so he quickly rebuilt his body again. Still, there was a hint of fear in his face after all. He knew the difference between Chen Fan and himself when it came to fighting. He then shouted, “Brother, help me!”

Roar!

The Red Fire Fiend Tiger dashed in the air with countless Fiend Patterns underneath its feet and the fire around its body began to burn the dimension. It sped down and its terrifying vitality shook the air and the surrounding space. That attack wasn’t inferior to one dealt by a peak-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator; it was even stronger.

“Dong!”

Not even Chen Fan would want to confront it with his body. He could only turn into the Mountain River Cauldron and clashed with the Red Fire Fiend Tiger.

Bang! The Red Fire Fiend Tiger let out a cry and was knocked a few thousand feet away. It was indeed a descendant of a Divine Beast; its body was incredibly powerful. It only felt a bit dizzy after going directly against Chen Fan’s Mountain River Cauldron, and could still stand up while shaking. Lin Yang would have been crushed to death if it were him receiving the attack.

However, Lin Yang also took this opportunity to heal and then rush forward with the sword again.

Boom!

Chen Fan was still besieged by Lin Yang and the Red Fire Fiend Tiger. Although he was powerful and able to suppress the two of them, he couldn’t deal with them at the same time.

The Divine Princes watching on the side had already gauged Chen Fan’s strength.

“He’s nothing special. Even though he’s a bit more powerful than I am, there isn’t a huge difference; he’s only comparable to Qin Feng,” a few Divine Princes said secretly.

“This is Chen Beixuan? Too disappointing.” Qin Feng even shook his head.

However, it made sense after thinking it further. Chen Fan was merely someone from the Abandoned Planet Region after all. How strong could he be? The peak-stage Nascent Soul level was already his peak. Even those Grand Elders of the Divine Sects, who were over fifty thousand years old, were barely able to touch the higher levels or go halfway to the Soul Formation Level.

“Boom!”

When Chen Fan killed Lin Yang for the third time—

Another Divine Prince yelled and joined the fight!

“My turn!”
