novelThe Fifth Transformation of the Deity Wheel
| ← Ch.0939 | Ch.0941 → |
"Clatter."
A black carriage ran across the sky.
It was entirely black and had no patterns on it. The white-haired servant sitting on it was also old and seemed to be weak.
They didn't look like they were famous; they seemed to belong to a small sect or family instead.
A beast that was a few hundred meters long with a pavilion on its back flew past them, creating some strong wind. Someone on it snickered.
"Heh, they can't even afford a Black Nightmare. What kind of Young Master is that? He's a disgrace to the cultivation families."
A young cultivator sneered.
A beautiful female cultivator next to him said, "Oh, the Black Nightmare is the ancestor of the Black Flame Horses and a pure Golden Core Beast. It's said to be able to crush a mountain and dry a pond. Other than the royal families or disciples of the Heavenly Lord Families, who else can afford it?"
"Haha!" They both burst into laughter.
The carriage continued to move forward.
Zhao Juexian and the three girls had already gotten used to the sneers, so they didn't mind at all. It had been almost a year since they left the Beihuang Region with Chen Fan.
In this year, Chen Fan passed through a dozen Heavenly Regions with them and they were already thousands of miles away from the Beihuang Region.
Although the news about the battle where Chen Fan exterminated the Feng family had gradually spread, astonishing all the regions and the Heavenly Sects on Planet Tianhuang, they were too far away after all. Besides, Chen Fan's carriage was ordinary and people rarely recognized it.
Yun Yier frowned and said, "Sister Wuhua, Senior Chen has been in there for six months. He hasn't even taken a sip of water. Is something wrong?"
Mu Hongti knocked the girl's head and said, "Hm, you're able to form a valley in a couple months when you become a Connate Cultivator, not to mention Senior Chen who is even more powerful than a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord. He can stay alive without eating for a century. What can possibly happen?"
"Ow, stop it." Yun Yier pouted.
Lin Wuhua sat aside and continued to cultivate. She was wearing a black outfit as if nothing in the world could leave a trace on her. After a year, she had become more powerful and had reached the mid-stage Golden Core Level.
However, when she glanced over Chen Fan, she couldn't help but feel a bit frightened.
Lin Wuhua wasn't like Yun Yier and Mu Hongti. She had a much higher level and broader vision.
"Senior Chen is indeed strange.
"One year ago when we left the Beihuang Region, we first went to the Leiyuan Heavenly Region. He cultivated for three months under the thundercloud formed by countless thunderbolts. He then went through the Thunder Tribulation and turned into a weird Divine Beast that had a dragon head and human body.
"After that, we went deep into the universe and struggled in a dimensional storm for two months before giving up."
Lin Wuhua kept thinking about the recent events.
"But since he started practicing this cultivation art, he's been staying in the carriage and didn't even look for Heavenly Medicines and Spirit Herbs anymore. He's now surrounded by black mist and Fiend Qi, and he's dropped from the Golden Core Level to the Connate Level.
"Has Senior Chen gone crazy?" Lin Wuhua wondered.
After all, she didn't know about the mystery of the Deity Wheel's nine transformations.
Ever since the Deity Wheel had completed the second transformation and the Azure Thearch Longevity Body reached the Great Perfection Level, Chen Fan started cultivating the third transformation.
The transformation of the Kun Peng and the Thunder Loch were familiar to Chen Fan. After the second transformation of the Deity Wheel, his power had surged and his cultivation speeded up.
The Xuan Wu True Form and the Chaotic Divine Tree were constantly absorbing the energy of the world and other dimensions across the universe. Chen Fan was at the moment like two Nascent Soul Cultivators cultivating at the same time.
So, he quickly completed the third and fourth transformations, and he was getting even faster.
He spent three months looking for a place full of thunderclouds and he absorbed the power of the thunderbolts to complete the Thunder Loch Golden Core. After that, he flew out of Planet Tianhuang and turned into the Kun Peng to swallow the dimensional force to complete the fourth transformation.
But since the fifth transformation, Chen Fan had started to slow down.
Since he chose a Fiend Art for it!
"Phew!"
Chen Fan sat with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. He was breathing like a dragon.
As he breathed, plumes of black smoke billowed out from a banner in his hand and his body absorbed them. Six giant black holes even appeared behind him. The pure Fiend Qi that came out of the black holes was dense, which then became like drops of lava.
What was more frightening was that the screams of ghosts and whispers of demons resounded in the black holes.
Even though the three girls were powerful, they would not dare to look directly at the black holes. They had looked at them once before, but they felt like their souls were about to be sucked out of their bodies. They would have died if it wasn't for Chen Fan.
"It's terrifying!"
Yun Yier patted her chest.
They had no idea what cultivation art Chen Fan was practicing, but they knew it was frightening. While he was still cultivating, he could already suck in the souls of Golden Core Cultivators. So, how powerful would he be once he finished?
In fact, Chen Fan was indeed cultivating an unprecedented Fiend Art.
The "Six Sacred Ancestor Fiend Art!"
This Fiend Art wasn't as well-known as the Blood God Heavenly Art and the Manghuang Fiend Art on Planet Tianhuang, but it was something that truly frightened the Realm of Cultivation deep in the universe.
Thatis, since the last being who cultivated this Fiend Art was the Jiuming Fiend Lord!
The Jiuming Fiend Lord wasn't from this universe, but from a mysterious realm of demons. It destroyed dozens of planets and ate countless souls once it showed up. It also leveled an ancient sacred ground and killed many Void Returning Cultivators. Even Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals found this vicious Fiend Lord troubling.
The Jiuming Fiend Lord wasn't the most powerful across the universe. Cangqin, Chen Fan's master in his previous life, could certainly beat the Jiuming Fiend Lord.
And yet, the Fiend Art it practiced was too terrifying.
The "Six Sacred Ancestor Fiend Art" was said to be one of the top three Fiend Arts. Once it was completed, a cultivator could communicate with six ancient fiends and borrow their power. Every one of the ancient fiends had the strength of a peak-stage Void Returning Cultivator. When they merged together, they would be like a Dao Reunion Perfected Immortal. Besides, they each equaled a live, so there were six lives in total. Someone even cultivated the "Six Sacred Ancestor Fiend Art" to the highest level where each ancient fiend had the power of a Dao Reunion Perfected Immortal.
When the six of them merged into one, they could conquer all worlds and go through the Tribulation easily!
Unfortunately, the Jiuming Fiend Lord met Chen Fan.
Chen Fan had just reached the Dao Reunion Level back then and was the youngest Dao Reunion Perfected Immortal in history. He ran into the Jiuming Fiend Lord and they immediately started fighting.
Even though the Jiuming Fiend Lord had six incarnations and six lives, Chen Fan still managed to kill it. They fought for three months and the impact of the battle destroyed dozens of planets.
And because of that battle, Chen Fan became famous and was known as the Perfected Immortal who was most desperate to go through the Tribulation in history.
And the "Six Sacred Ancestor Fiend Art" also fell into Chen Fan's hands.
"Crack."
The black banner in Chen Fan's hand was finally overwhelmed. The last bit of its energy was consumed. It cracked and turned into a piece of weathered wood.
Then, the six black holes behind Chen Fan also turned into humanoid forms.
But these human forms looked strange.
There was a giant with three heads and six arms, and was covered in scales.
There was a demon surrounded by Ghost Qi and bones.
There was...
They all carried a terrifying and ancient energy, as if they belonged to ancient times. The Divine Soul of ordinary people would be taken away if they looked at these fiends and even Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords had to be careful as they dealt with them. They were the six ancient Sacred Fiends. Every one of them had supreme Fiend Arts and were frightening even thousands of years after they died.
"What a shame. I can't directly form a sacred-grade Golden Core and transform into these six Fiends."
Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes and heaved a sigh.
Planet Tianhuang was a cultivation planet, not a fiend planet or realm of demons after all. There might be abundant Spirit Qi there, but the Fiend Qi was too thin. Chen Fan completed fifteen Banners of Heavenly Fiend after eliminating the seven fiend sects. Together with the energy of the six demon realms, he had only pushed the Deity Wheel to the Connate Level and it was impossible for him to complete the fifth transformation.
"Luckily, there's still the Ancient Demon Loch, " Chen Fan thought.
He had expected this when he cultivated this Fiend Art.
It was easy to cultivate the true form of the Kun Peng and the Thunder Loch, as Chen Fan had a strong foundation and Planet Tianhuang had the powers of space and thunder he needed. Even so, he still stole a lot of Heavenly Medicines and Heavenly Materials from the Heavenly Lord Families in the past six months. He even swallowed eight Void Dimension Crystal Mines at once, enraging the sects in a Heavenly Region.
And for the "Six Sacred Ancestor Fiend Art" to reach the phenomenal success level, he needed to eat at least a Nascent Soul Fiend Art Cultivator or practice for more than three years.
Planet Tianhuang might not have any Nascent Soul Fiend Art Cultivators, but there were quite a lot in the Ancient Demons Loch. Luo Changshen might be planning something, but Chen Fan didn't care.
Although he still had to be careful with Mount Emperor, he could definitely defeat a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord.
He had to go to the Ancient Demons Loch.
Let alone the fact that there were Divine Medicines and Divine Materials.
"Retreat!" Chen Fan yelled.
The Fiend Qi around him went back into his body.
If the Ancient Demon Prince were there, it would be terrified.
Chen Fan might not have much Fiend Qi, but the Fiend Qi he had was much purer than that of the descendants of the Ancient Demons and was as heavy as mercury.
As for the Blood God Sect and the seven Fiend Sects, their Fiend Qi wasn't even worth mentioning.
If Chen Fan's Fiend Qi was the thickest and most refined aviation gasoline, that of Lord Blood God would be ordinary oil diluted by water a hundred times.
This meant that Chen Fan's Fiend Qi was a hundred times more powerful than theirs.
He would be able to defeat a Fiend Art Cultivator or an Ancient Demon effortlessly and nobody would be able to fight evenly with him, except for the Demon Commanders.
This was what the Fiend Arts did.
Those cultivators or races that practiced Fiend Arts would be restrained by the Fiend Arts or Fiend Qi of a higher level.
"Senior Chen, you're awake?"
The three girls in the carriage immediately sensed it once Chen Fan moved.
Yun Yier and Mu Hongti approached him excitedly and even Lin Wuhua felt relieved when she saw Chen Fan was all right.
Even though Lin Wuhua was always cool, she knew Chen Fan was an important person.
If something happened to him, the Heavenly Lord Families in the Beihuang Region would seek him for revenge. By then, not only the Chinese, the Xuanming Grotto-heaven and the entire Beihan Region would be eliminated from the face of Planet Tianhuang.
"Don't worry, I was just trying out a cultivation art. I'm fine, " Chen Fan said.
He was wearing an azure robe at the moment and no longer had Fiend Qi around him, just a if he were a hardworking student. If the three girls hadn't seen what happened just then, they would have been fooled.
"Where are we now?" Chen Fan asked.
Zhao Juexian, who was sitting outside the carriage, replied respectfully, "We've gone past the Liyang Heavenly Region two weeks ago and we're now in the Reincarnation Heavenly Region. We're five hundred thousand miles away from the Reincarnation Sect."
"The Reincarnation Heavenly Region?"
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.
He sent out his Immortal Will and felt that the surrounding Spirit Qi was a bit denser than in the Beihuang Region. The cultivators in this land must be much more powerful than those in the Beihuang Region and there had to be more elites here.
"This is indeed one of the top ten Heavenly Regions."
Chen Fan looked up.
Right then, the Beihuang Region and the Reincarnation Heavenly Region weren't important to him anymore. Since the fifth transformation of the Deity Wheel, Chen Fan had reached an unpredictable level.
Even though the Deity Wheel wouldn't have all nine cultivation arts before completing the nine transformations and he could only use one power each time, the North Mystic Celestial Lord was already able to kill a normal Nascent Soul Cultivator when his power was close to the Nascent Soul Level, let alone Chen Fan who had mastered countless secret arts and forbidden Divine Powers.
Besides, Chen Fan felt that the Deity Wheel was about to reach the initial success level. By then, he might be able to use five cultivation arts at the same time.
"I wonder if Xiao Mang is doing all right."
Chen Fan looked far away.
From the day he arrived on Planet Tianhuang, this girl was the only person that was in his mind; four years had passed since Shenxi had taken her back to the Reincarnation Sect.
