Chapter 519 Defensive Divine Power

Ever since Chen Fan had reached the Divine Sea Level, he had gained very little improvements in his cultivation.

The amount of Spirit Qi required to make any advance after the Divine Sea Level was enormous. Worse, the Azure Thearch Longevity from the Five Elements Immortal Sect was practically a black hole for Spirit Qi. On the flip side, Chen Fan’s combat ability was a few times stronger than most other cultivators.

Without those deadly arts, he would not be able to defeat three Immortal State Warriors while at the early-stage of the Divine Sea Level.

Ancestral Patriarch of Hong Sect and Xie Yan, in particular, had reached mid-stage of the Immortal State, so the combined force of theirs was even more potent.

“The amount of Spirit Qi in the Spirit Source should be enough to carry me to the mid-stage of Divine Sea level. I think it’s time to think about improving my defense arts.”

Chen Fan thought to himself while sitting with his legs folded.

Lin Langya’s blow had not only injured him but also served as a wake-up call.

Although he had achieved initial success in the Azure Thearch Longevity Body cultivation, he could still get injured. The power in Lin Langya’s strike had reached the peak level of the Immortal State, so Chen Fan wagered that Lin Shuming and Ye Qincang must be around that level of attainment as well. The strike had only left a small dent on his shoulder which was healed in an instant, the injury still didn’t sit well with him.

“If a Peak Immortal State could hurt me, then what about Earth Level Deity? If I ever have to stand face to face with an Exalted Cultivator, do I have to run away? What about those weapons of ma.s.s destruction?”

Chen Fan’s eyes dimmed a little.

Although he had gained the Connate Body, he lacked the Connate level divine powers and spells.

Before he upgraded True Essence to as powerful as that of a real Connate Cultivator, he wouldn’t be able to survive a nuclear explosion. At his current state, even Armor Penetrating Sh.e.l.ls could have wounded him.

Chen Fan still has a diplomatic relations.h.i.+p with the superpowers of the world and most of the extremely deadly experimental weapons were still locked behind the gates of research labs. However, sooner or later, they would throw the gloves off, and Chen Fan needed to be ready.

“It’s a miracle that I have found the Sword of Essense Restoring on this accursed planet. I don’t think I will be that lucky all the time.”

Chen Fan heaved a sigh.

In order to completely ward off the attacks of Immortal State Warriors, Chen Fan needed a spirit artifact at the very least. However, he doubted that he could be so lucky to stumble upon another Spirit Artifact.

“It’s nearly impossible to improve the Azure Thearch Longevity Body, and without a dharma artifact, I think my best bet is in gaining some Divine powers.”

A light glinted in Chen Fan’s eyes, as he looked at the nine Red Flame Spirit Pills inside the gourd.

Of the three-stage of the Qi Refinement level, the Ethereal Enlightenment and the Divine Sea levels were combined and called the Immortal Enlightenment phase. Once the cultivator had completed both levels, he or she could summon even more arcane power to unleash powerful spells. They could call upon the natural elements and turn dirt into golems who would fight to the death. In the eyes of an ordinary human, these cultivators were no different than a G.o.d, although they were technically not G.o.ds yet.

By now, Chen Fan had gained access to three arts: Li Fire Golden Eyes, Yi Wood Spirit Qi, and Pa.s.sage Of Time. Of the three arts, the Li Fire Golden Eyes was an attack spell, the Yi Wood Spirit Qi was a buff spell and the Pa.s.sage Of Time was an ultimate spell that should be saved for the last moment.

Chen Fan reckoned that it was the right time to gain another spell that he could use to protect himself.

“The nine Red Flame Spirit Pills should help me to gain any protection divine powers, but which one should I choose?”

Chen Fan rubbed his chin and started to reflect on the spells he used in his past.

“The Protection of the Chi Emperor? No… this spell required the divine blood of the Chi Emperor.”

“Black Gold Dharma Robe? No, it wouldn’t work either. I will need the aether and blood of three-legged Black Gold Beast. Plus, even if I got the material, I will need to cultivate inside the son for thirty years. At my current level, I will be reduced to ashes before I can even get close to the son.”

“Bulwark of the Fire G.o.d? It’s still too difficult, I am afraid. I need the spirit of the Fire G.o.d anyways.”

Chen Fan went through one after another Divine power, winnowing out the ones that were impossible to pull off right now.

In the end, Chen Fan had settled on one.

“Armor of Red Flame. Inferior-grade protection divine power. It can form a fiery armor around the user. It is one of the least powerful divine powers in all of the fire element spells.”

“f.u.c.k me..”

Chen Fan let out a wry smile.

The Defensive Divine Power was much more difficult to pull off compared to ordinary powers due to their extraordinary power. The Protection of the Chi Emperor, for example, could help a Void Returning level cultivator easily escape the wrath of a much more powerful cultivator.

The nine Red Flame Spirit Pills could help Chen Fan to forge the Armor of Red Flame at the most.

In fact, most cultivators wouldn’t worry about the Defensive Divine Power until they had reached the Connate Spirit level. Most cultivators below the Connate Spirit Level only resorted to Spirit Artifacts as their means of protection.

“Fine, fine… it’s better than nothing. Luckily, these divine powers are not only upgradable, but it could also be transformed into The Protection of the Chi Emperor.”

Chen Fan shook his head and gave in.

Despite the inferior rating of the Armor of the Red Flame, it should make Chen Fan nearly invincible. His only threats would come from nuclear weapons and Earth Level Deities.

“Let’s start now!”

Chen Fan fished out a Red Flame Spirit Pills from his gourd.
