The vast, windy and cold space should have been empty, but countless people were focusing their attention on a certain place. Not only cultivators on Earth and in the Abandoned Planet Region; a lot of Overlords in the Star Ocean were also watching that place with their supreme Dharmic and Divine powers.
Those Grand Cultivators in the Star Ocean were stunned, enraged or became vicious when Chen Fan eliminated the coalition army of thousands of sects, but none of them did anything.
That wasn’t just because of the special restrictions on Dharma Laws in the Abandoned Planet Region; they also considered that Divine Lord Tatian might still be alive.
“Tatian thought he could get away by faking his death and hiding his Divine Soul in the body of his youngest son to survive, sleeping on Planet Tianhuang and dominating the entire world in the dark. And yet, he has no idea his actions have always been under our watch.”
On an extremely vast planet deep in the Star Ocean.
A three-legged golden bird with a length of three hundred miles flapped its wings as it looked towards Earth with a cold smile. “He suppressed Planet East’s development, trained Universe Predators, killed those cultivators who had the potential to become Divine Lords several times and even ruined our plans for the Abandoned Planet Region many times over, so we still can’t really control the planet region after countless invasion attempts in the last hundred thousand years. He thought what he did was perfect. How ridiculous!”
The three-legged golden bird flapped its wings gently, creating countless fire storms on the surface of the planet. Many fire spirits even morphed into human shapes and flew around it, which made it look like the God of Fire in the legends.
That son of the Golden Bird Emperor had already awakened its Golden Bird Bloodline. It was then comparable even to the real Golden Bird Divine Beasts found deep in the universe. Its Dharma Power was incredibly potent. Many soldiers of Apollo Palace guarding Planet Lieyang also had to fall back, or they would have easily been dragged into its fire.
A loud, majestic voice emerged from deep inside the planet. “Tatian was awakened in the Abandoned Planet Region after all. He’s been sealed in that barren region by us for a hundred thousand years, so it’s normal for him to be a bit shallow. However, I never thought that guy would be able to force Tatian out. His power is a little above my expectations. Looks like I’ve underestimated this kid from Planet East.”
High in that planet’s sky, a ten thousand feet long painting appeared. It showed the view outside Earth, the very scene when Divine Lord Tatian had shown up. Not just the Golden Bird Emperor and his youngest son.
Meanwhile.
Many nameless Grand Cultivators in the eight planet regions around the Abandoned Planet Region in the Little South Heavenly Realm were also watching. Although they couldn’t personally enter the Abandoned Planet Region, their Grand Cultivator Dharma Power helped them see the things in another planet region with ease.
The three-legged golden bird lowered its head and said, “Father, do you think this guy still has hope?”
The tall giant sleeping deep inside the planet slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the painting. “Although Tatian is a Pseudo-Soul Formation Cultivator, he cultivated in that planet region and is the child of that planet region. Even if he’s restrained by the incomplete Laws of Heaven that rule in the Abandoned Planet Region, he still has the real power of a Soul Formation cultivator, as long as his feet are inside the Abandoned Planet Region. We’d also find it knotty to deal with him. Theoretically speaking, that kid shouldn’t have any power to turn the tides.”
The three-legged golden bird smiled and said, “Brother said he may be the reincarnation of a Grand Cultivator.”
“Hm, even if he is, that’s merely his previous life. He might still carry some of his past energy after being reborn; it’s likely that only a tenth or a hundredth of it remains. No matter how powerful is a hundredth of a Grand Cultivator’s power, how would he be able to fight with a Pseudo-Soul Formation cultivator? He has no chance at all, unless he was a Saint in his last life,” the Golden Bird Emperor said calmly.
Normal Grand Cultivators hadn’t reached this level, but the Golden Bird Emperor had gone deep in the domain of the Soul Formation level. He knew clearly that although the so-called Reincarnation Grand Cultivators might seem powerful and superior, they were only like phoenixes without feathers which were even inferior to chickens. And yet, their talent and wisdom were much stronger than that of normal cultivators and their power was considerable.
At least the Golden Bird Emperor wouldn’t not cower before the reincarnation of a Grand Cultivator who had yet to climb back to peak status, and he didn’t even have the interest to make a move.
“Ask someone to bring your brother back when things on Planet East end. He’s my son, no matter what,” the Golden Bird Emperor said with a cold tone while he closed his eyes slowly, ready to resume his slumber on the fiery planet.
The three-legged golden bird also nodded.
Qin Jian, the King of Falling Stars, was saved after Divine Lord Tatian had won. Divine Lord Tatian was an ignorant and fearless kid like Chen Fan. Although he was considered invincible in the Abandoned Planet Region, he was a Soul Formation cultivator after all and he knew how powerful the Golden Bird Emperor and Apollo Palace were. When he made Apollo Palace anxious, the Golden Bird Emperor was ready to use all the trump cards of the imperishable sect to eliminate Tatian and Mount Emperor completely, regardless of the risk of dying.
The three-legged golden bird looked at Chen Fan on the screen, who was close to being defeated, screen and said with a smile as it turned away, “I’ll send an incarnation to Planet East after the kid dies; Tatian will show me some respect…” He stopped caring about it afterwards.
Not only him.
Many Grand Cultivators deep in the Star Ocean also shook their heads. As they watched Divine Lord Tatian attack, they knew the matter in the Abandoned Planet Region was finally going to end. The next thing on the Grand Cultivators’ agenda was to plan and see who could get the biggest share from Tatian by different means.
“Hm?”
Suddenly—
All the Grand Cultivators were startled; they turned around at the same time. The three-legged golden bird also looked over in shock. They saw that the giant painting hanging above Planet Lieyang was shattered all of a sudden. Their sights were blocked by fog; they were no longer able to see what was happening on Earth anymore.
“What’s going on?”
The three-legged golden bird was shocked, at first thinking it had something to do with its own Dharma Power. Light flowed on its jade-like wings and they suddenly lit up like a halo. It performed a Divine Power to try and see through planet regions to reestablish the view of Planet East again.
But, out of the three-legged golden bird’s expectation.
Nothing appeared on the painting. Its golden, mountain-sized eyes of fire could only see a fog covering Earth and the entire solar system. Even its Dharma Power was unable to pierce through it.
“I can’t see through it? That’s impossible!”
The three-legged golden bird frowned; it had clearly been angered by the result.
When its body released rays of light and was about to stimulate its power again, a majestic voice suddenly rose from deep inside the planet, “It’s useless. Someone used a Grand Divine Power to cover the entire Planet East Region. You will definitely be unable to see anything inside with your Dharma Power.”
“That’s impossible. There must be someone who’s at least on par with me, in order to block my Dharma Power. Not even Tatian can do this. Is there another Soul Formation cultivator in the Abandoned Planet Region? There shouldn’t be. We all know that Tatian is the only Soul Formation cultivator in those parts. How could there be a new Soul Formation cultivator right under our noses?” The three-legged golden bird was astonished. The shock in its mind had surpassed its worries about Chen Fan’s Dharma Power.
“Maybe, as your brother said, that kid really is something. He may truly be a capable reincarnation of a Grand Cultivator.”
The tall, fierce giant inside the planet slowly showed up. He looked at Earth seriously with a hint of anger in his eyes. “Hm, I want to see who that is, daring to provoke and fool me again and again.”
After that.
The giant let out his Dharma Power and his body was surrounded by fierce fire. Two beams of golden light were shot out of his eyes like fire torches and immediately pierced through space as it passed through countless planets, flashing towards the Abandoned Planet Region and Earth.
That Golden Bird Emperor was the Overlord among the Soul Formation cultivators. How terrifying was his power when he was enraged? That pair of light rays were unimaginably strong. All the mountains, forests, trees, cultivators and planets in front of them were immediately pierced through. The earth-shattering energy even made the guards around the entire Planet Lieyang tremble.
“Father is enraged.” The three-legged golden bird was thrilled.
Chen Fan would never stand a chance even if he was the reincarnation of a Grand cultivator. After all, in terms of level, the Golden Bird Emperor was only half a step away from the so-called Reincarnation Grand Cultivator level.
“Well, let’s see what else the kid is hiding.” The three-legged golden bird smiled.
“Boom!”
Then—
Those two pillar-thick rays of golden light piercing through space suddenly cracked. The body of the Golden Bird Emperor was even pushed into Planet Lieyang by an unimaginably powerful energy that appeared out of nowhere. He fell down and crashed into the planet like a child being slapped by his parents when he was playing around. A giant, bowl-shaped pithole a few thousand miles long was created on that planet covered with fierce fire.
Meanwhile.
Not only on Planet Lieyang.
At the territories of the Niekong Sect, the Taichu Divine Realm, the Wuji Sect and even the Fey God Sect—the Grand Cultivators deep in the ancestral halls of those imperishable sects suddenly grunted and were thrown backwards. Some were even pushed further into the core buildings and almost destroyed the ancestral halls of their own sects.
“What’s going on?”
The three-legged golden bird froze there.
Even with the wisdom of a Divine Lord, that Prince of Apollo Palace was also unable to react at the moment. It only widened its eyes, which were as large as mountains, and looked at the planet in confusion.
Soon, the earth-shattering roar of the Golden Bird Emperor rose from Planet Lieyang, making countless creatures in the entire planet region tremble.
“What a bunch of ants!” said Chen Fan after killing Divine Lord Tatian and drawing a line in front of the Grand Cultivators peeking on Earth from Star the Ocean through countless galaxies with one hand. Then, he turned around to look at the Earth.
Right at the place where he was looking—
Everyone was dumbfounded as they looked back at him. Even Qi Xiu’er, Jiang Churan and Auntie Tang felt as if that were the first time they had met Chen Fan.
Even Chen Fan’s favorite disciple, A’Xiu, was currently in shock as she stood in Chen Fan’s hand—which was as massive as a planet. She could not believe that the Deity in front of her was Chen Fan. Billions of people on Earth remained silent at that moment; even the sound of a needle falling would have been heard. Qin Jian, the King of Falling Stars, had lost his soul and his face was extremely pale. He trembled under Chen Fan’s gaze, not daring to look away while he was unwilling to believe it.
How could the human world have such a being?
