Chapter 876 - Slaying the Prince (1/2)

“Impossible!” the Fiend General in a silver armor yelled.

In its eyes, the Ancient Demon Prince was an invincible being, who could fight with a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord. Although Chen Fan was powerful, he hadn’t entered the Nascent Soul Level after all, and still, he had slayed the Ancient Demon Prince!

Zhao Juexian’s jaw also dropped.

That was a member of the royal family. Its ancestor was an Ancient Demon that ruled over a planet. And yet, it lost to Chen Fan. How powerful exactly was Chen Fan?

“Argh!”

An earth-shattering roar came out from the giant pit.

A beam of black light shot into the sky and the Ancient Demon Prince appeared. Its mouth was bleeding and the body parts that weren’t covered by the armor were filled with cuts. One of its horns had also been broken. The attack Chen Fan made with three Essence Cores was astonis.h.i.+ng, as powerful as that from a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

But the Ancient Demon Prince laughed.

“Human, you’re burning your energy cores. How many more attacks like this can you make?”

Then, three of the five light rays on Chen Fan’s body dissipated; he was then surrounded by the black Xuan Wu Power and the azure Azure Thearch Power only.

The biggest difference between an Essence Core and a Golden Core was that the former didn’t have a high endurance.

If an Essence Core was a battery, a Golden Core would be an eternal fire that provided endless energy.

“Even if I have to use up all the energy in my Essence Cores, I must kill you today.”

Chen Fan raised his sword.

He didn’t hesitate at all. For Chen Fan, it didn’t matter if his energy was used up or whether his five Essence Cores were all broken. He could form five divine-grade Essence Cores again in three years.

“Boom!”

Chen Fan was surrounded by an azure and black aura, and he turned into a beam of light, shooting towards the Ancient Demon Prince again.

The Ancient Demon Prince shouted.

Rays of black light came out of its body.

The Ancient Demon Armor let out beams of light and the body of the Ancient Demon Prince produced a terrifying energy, as if there were a black sun burning and providing it with powerful energy. In front of such power, Zhao Juexian and the Fiend General in silver armor were much weaker.

“Golden Cores are categorized into nine grades! And yet, there are still divine-grade Golden Cores above. Cultivators with a divine-grade Golden Core are comparable to the descendants of Divine Beasts. I’m still inferior even if my Sky-Swallowing Python blood reaches the phenomenal success level.”

Zhao Juexian looked up and smiled wryly.

The cultivation arts used to form superior-grade Golden Cores were all in the hands of the supreme sects and historical families, while those for divine-grade Golden Cores were nowhere to be found and not even Zhao Juexian had heard of any.

Speaking of level, Zhao Juexian and the Ancient Demon Prince were both peak-stage Golden Core Cultivators.

However, the level of their Golden Cores determined their strength. One of them had a first-grade Golden Core, while the other had a ninth-grade Golden Core, which was nine times more powerful. So, Zhao Juexian would never be able to become a Nascent Soul Cultivator and take down the Ancient Demon Prince no matter how hard he tried.

“Boom!”

The world shook.

The two of them clashed again.

This time, Chen Fan was obviously weaker than he used to be, but the Tianming Sword drew an arc in the air and attacked at an incredible angle. The sky was then separated into different dimensions.

The Ancient Demon Prince was getting worried.

The Ancient Demons were known for their fighting tactics and martial arts, which were the best of the best across the universe. Even the legendary Shuras weren’t as powerful as they were. Human cultivators were indeed good at using Dharma Treasures and Divine Powers, but they were a lot weaker when it came to martial arts.

“How is that possible? He’s only a human. Why does he know such a tactic? This sword art can only be found in the ancient sacred grounds of legends that have millions of years of history.”

The Ancient Demon Prince was shocked.

“Kun Peng to the Heavenly Courts!”

Chen Fan slashed with his sword and the Kun Peng appeared behind him. Even though the Kun Peng Essence Core had shattered, he had completed the Kun Peng Painting and the blood of the Kun Peng was still inside his body, so he could use the power at any time.

The Tianming Sword then turned into the Kun Peng and flew around the sky.

“Boom!”

That slash was made at an unimaginable angle. The Ancient Demon Prince was overwhelmed. The Demon Blade of Heaven Slay broke and the shadow of the Kun Peng flashed past it.

“Crack!”

The body of the Ancient Demon Prince was split in half by the Sword Qi.

There was a cut on its forehead, which then extended to the chest. Not even the Ancient Demon Armor could protect it.

But the next second, the two halves of the Ancient Demon Prince’s body combined again.

It sneered with a cold voice.

“Human, our bodies are very well-known in the world and I’m only half a step away from becoming a Demon Commander. You can’t kill me.”

Chen Fan frowned.

The terrifying bodies of the Ancient Demons were something that drove people to despair. When they became Demon Commanders, they could be reborn. Although the Ancient Demon Prince wasn’t there yet, it was pretty close to that level.

More importantly, Chen Fan’s slash could have crushed the Ancient Demon Prince’s body to little bits, but the Ancient Demon Armor had blocked it. Such an injury wasn’t anything for the Ancient Demon Prince.

“Again!”

Chen Fan initiated the Xuan Wu Essence Core and turned into a Xuan Wu ten thousand feet tall. Surrounded by black water, he was able to control the world.
