Chapter 932 - Heavenly Treasure (1/2)
“Who is that?”
The girls were floored.
By then, the entire Beihuang Region had succ.u.mbed to Chen Fan’s power. Even Luo Changshen had to put on a respectful face before him. Who would have the audacity to attack him?
What frightened them even more was the serious wounds Chen Fan’s body had sustained. After nine trans.m.u.tations, Chen Fan’s Divine Body was infinitely close to perfection. Even a Quasi-Heavenly Treasure would have only been able to leave a dent on his skin.
“Was it a Heavenly Lord?” Lin Wuhua murmured in a shaky voice.
Everyone’s hearts sank to the bottom. There was only one Heavenly Lord in the Beihuang Region, and he was the Heavenly Lord Astral Sea of the w.a.n.g Family. If it really was him, then the attack was the mighty w.a.n.g Family’s proclamation of war against Chen Fan.
“Impossible. I have heard that Heavenly Lord Astral Sea left the Beihuang Region long ago. We should have heard news of his return if he were back,” Zhao Juexian replied firmly.
Longevity Heavenly Lords were powerful beings that could live more than ten thousand years. They spent most of their time traveling in the universe and rarely did they remain in one place for a long time. w.a.n.g Xinhe, the Heavenly Lord Astral Sea was famous for his Astral Art and was very likely visiting stars in outer s.p.a.ce.
“So, he is not w.a.n.g Xinhe.”
The girls were dumbfounded.
“This energy doesn’t feel like a Heavenly Lord’s. It’s similar to the energy of a Quasi-Heavenly Treasure… No… It has to be something more powerful… Could it be a Heavenly Treasure?” Zhao Juexian suddenly opened his eyes as wide as they would go.
Meanwhile, amidst the Thunder Tribulation in the sky…
Chen Fan had been dealt a devastating blow that nearly cut him in half. But his body was already healing. Countless droplets of blood flew back into Chen Fan’s body, swiftly restoring his vitality.
He was able to recover in less than a second.
Chen Fan looked up at the weapon that attacked him. It was curved like a scythe and its dark glinting body was equally as irresistible for human’s souls, just as a black hole would draw pa.s.sing objects unto itself.
“Boom!”
A wailing gale straight from the underworld surrounded the dark long blade. Immense pressure ripple out from its glistening body and filled the air with fear. For a moment, Chen Fan thought he was facing a Heavenly Lord Essence Neonate.
“Marvelous blade!” Chen Fan exclaimed.
That was a Dharma Treasure of unthinkable power. Its energy surpa.s.sed that of any Dharma Treasure Chen Fan had seen before. There was more Qi tightly packed in the blade than the entire Yuntian Palace. It was a Heavenly Treasure true to its t.i.tle, the magnum opus of a Heavenly Lord.
This Heavenly Blade was in the hands of a man in a black outfit. He was around forty, with pale face and two eyes which were even paler. There was not a hint of emotion on his face. Chen Fan noticed that this man’s energy was similar to that of Feng Qianjue and Feng Chengzi, albeit being much greater in magnitude.
“Such insolence! How dare you sneak up on me? Who are you?”
Chen Fan stood proudly among flashes of lightning. Tendrils of electric currents licked his skin, opening it up. However, Chen Fan didn’t mind as he focused his attention on the man in black.
“Feng Ziqiu,” the man said quietly.
Zhao Juexian’s heart was seized by fear as soon as he heard the name.
Zhao Juexian said incredulously, “It’s him.
“He was a legendary genius from the Feng Family. He should be five thousand years old now. He used to be considered both friend and enemy of another powerful cultivator who was of his similar age: Heavenly Lord Astral Sea. Their compet.i.tion ended with Heavenly Lord Astral Sea taking the lead, disappearing from the public eye. How could he still be alive after so many centuries?”
Lin Wuhua and Mu Hongti felt suffocated by the tension.
If he really was the Heavenly Lord Astral Sea’s equal, he had to be extremely powerful.
Even though he had failed in his compet.i.tion against Heavenly Lord Astral Sea, the girls were still stunned by his might and talent.
w.a.n.g Xuanfeng and Feng Chengzi would pale under comparison with Feng Ziqiu.
“Be careful master! Feng Ziqiu was close to becoming a Heavenly Lord thousands of years ago. I don’t know how he had survived throughout the years, but he must be very powerful by now. The blade in his hand is a Heavenly Treasure called ‘Heavenly Blade of Obliteration’ It was made out of Underworld Black Iron that was quenched under the frozen gales from the ninth level of the frozen h.e.l.l. It’s so powerful that it can cut open s.p.a.ce itself,” Zhao Juexian shouted.
“You can’t even defeat w.a.n.g Xinhe, much less me.”
Chen Fan sneered despite the immense power coming from his enemy.
Compared to w.a.n.g Xuanlong and Feng Chengzi, Feng Ziqiu was much closer to the Heavenly Lord realm; he had also grasped the fundamental laws of a Heavenly Lord Essence Neonate. With the aid of a Heavenly Treasure, he could even injure Chen Fan, something that the thirteen elders had failed to do.
“You’re courting death!”
Feng Ziqiu’s eyes grew cold.
He swung the blade around as his body disappeared behind the weapon’s moving shadow.
A split second later, he reappeared behind Chen Fan. The dark blade sliced open the nearby s.p.a.ce and hewed at Chen Fan, carrying the wailing gale with it. This dark gale blew directly out from the underworld and could corrupt any Golden Core Cultivator’s soul upon contact. Even a Heavenly Lord would have to keep some distance from this baleful attack.
“Whoosh.”
The attack came from an unthinkable angle.
Chen Fan stepped to the side and raised an arm to block the attack. The blade went straight through his arm and severed it off his body. The terrifying Blade Qi didn’t stop there as it rammed into a mountain, leveling it in an instant.
“Bam!”
