Chapter 964 - Killing a Nascent Soul Practitioner with One Hack (1/2)

“Wait a second.”

When the faint voice was heard, everyone felt as if time had stopped. Trees, gra.s.s, animals, and wind, everything in a ten kilometer radius from the Reincarnation Sect froze, not moving in the slightest.

Although the audience was unable to move, their minds raced.

Many young cultivators couldn’t figure out why they wouldn’t move.

But the elders knew what was happening.

“Seal of Heaven and Earth! This is the ability of a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord! It must be from one of the Reincarnation Sect’s Ancestral Patriarchs. But which one? Xuhuang, Jinhai or Hongyang? ”

Connate Cultivators could cast a spell over a few square kilometers area to stop the flow of Essence Qi.

Golden Core Cultivators could tap into the Essence Qi in a much larger area and command it.

However, the Nascent Soul Cultivators spell was called the Forbidding Art. They could deny the movement of everything around them. Since such power was built upon nomological insights of the universe, the Seal of Heaven and Earth had stopped the pa.s.sage of time. Chen Fan’s Grand Divine Power, Blade of Time was also one kind of Seal of Heaven and Earth.

It was indeed a terrifying art.

However, not even a Nascent Soul Cultivator could keep this art for too long. In a few seconds, the Essence Qi started moving again and people found out they could move again.

Grand Elder Lin Shan was ecstatic. He kneeled and bowed to the mountain.

“Disciple Lin Shan welcomes you, Ancestral Patriarch Hongyang.”

Tens of thousands of disciples of the Reincarnation Sect dropped to their knees and kowtowed to the voice.

“That’s Ancestral Patriarch Hongyang, the oldest Ancestral Patriarch of the Reincarnation Sect. He reached the ultimate enlightenment thirteen thousand years ago, I can’t believe he is still alive.”

Many senior elders exclaimed.

Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man descend from the sky with hands linked behind his back.

Despite the white hair on the man’s head, his face only had a couple of wrinkles. He seemed to be in his early forties. However, his gaze was much more wizened compared to the rest of his appearance. Wisdom and knowledge flashed from time to time in his eyes. He floated in the air without using any art. It was as if he were naturally buoyant.

Nascent Soul cultivators would gain nomological insights, therefore, their actions could defy earthly principles such as physics.

“Welcome, Heavenly Lord Hongyang.”

The Ghost Underworld Sect Master stepped forward and kowtowed.

Heavenly Lords were the most powerful beings in Tianhuang. They were so rare that there were more Heavenly Regions that Heavenly Lords. They could bring down anyone who was under the Nascent Soul level and could pin entire Heavenly Regions under their thumbs with ease.

While facing these Grand cultivators, no Sect Master would dare to look at them in the eye.

“Hm.”

Ancestral Patriarch Hongyang nodded. Then he regarded Shenxi for a brief moment, nodded approvingly and then looked at Xiao Mang. “Very good,” he said.

In the end, he looked at Chen Fan.

“Your body is br.i.m.m.i.n.g with Fiend Energy. I’m impressed. Although the Primordial Fiend Ancestor had a much higher level of attainment than you, the potency and purity of his energy was a far cry from yours. I wager that your Fiend Art is from the Fiend Realm instead of the mortal world. Am I right?” Ancestral Patriarch Hongyang said in a booming voice.

As if magic, words flew out of his mouth and became many brilliant symbols that slowly blended into the rest of the world. Nascent Soul Cultivator’s nomological insights of the universe meant that anything they did and said would become a permanent part of reality.

“It’s none of your business. Why are you stopping me?”

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, face impa.s.sive.

“Nothing, you don’t need to be afraid. I am simply impressed by your power and your extraordinarily rare talent,” Ancestral Patriarch Hongyang said with a smile.

His face beamed from side to side, however, the tension in the air was palpable.

To a Heavenly Lord, any one below the Nascent Soul realm was as insignificant as an insect. Anyone would instinctively feel scared in the presence of a Heavenly Lord, just as a human would in front of a vicious tiger. Even the Sect Masters and Grand Elders stood in silence and fear.

“You have already seen my art, can we leave now?” Chen Fan said as he held onto Xiao Mang’s hand and started off.

“Hold on a second.”

Ancestral Patriarch Hongyang’s body disappeared and reappeared in Chen Fan’s path once again. He said, “Cultivator Chen, please leave Xiao Mang with us. She is our disciple.”

“She is my sister, and she was only living with you people temporarily.”

Chen Fan frowned.

“Once she becomes a disciple of the Reincarnation Sect, she will always be one of us! I don’t care who you are, I will do whatever I can to stop you from taking her away. Failing to do so would be a disgrace to our ancestors,” Ancestral Patriarch Hongyang said with a serious face.

“Hehe, sounds like you really want my sister.”

Chen Fan’s gaze grew cold.

“She belongs to us,” Ancestral Patriarch Hongyang shook his head and said, “The Reincarnation Sect is not ungrateful for the help you offered to her. We can admit you as my final disciple and I will teach you unthinkable arts. You will be a powerful force to be reckoned with.”

“You want me to become your disciple?”

Chen Fan was amused by the suggestion. A deadly intent grew thicker in his eyes.

He was the North Mystic Celestial Lord who had surpa.s.sed Immortal Cultivator Cangqin. What could a Nascent Soul Cultivator teach him?

“I think what you’re really after is my Fiend Art.”

Chen Fan sneered.

He had taught Shenxi the Divine Art of Chaos.

However, without mastering the art, Shenxi would be unable to teach others the art. It was a failsafe Chen Fan had used to prevent his potential enemies from becoming too powerful while he rose to power on Tianhuang.

“If I were your master, I would never allow you to use those insidious Fiend Arts. Examining your Fiend Art fully would be one of my duties,” Ancestral Patriarch Hongyang said.

Everyone felt a chill down their spines.

They initially thought the Grand Elder Lin Shan was a ruthless ruler, but Ancestral Patriarch Hongyang had really opened their eyes. Admitting Chen Fan as his final disciple was a ruse, what he really after was to strip Chen Fan’s powerful art from him and use it for himself. If Chen Fan dared to defy him, he could easily do away with him in the name of sect rules.

“He is ruthless. Are all Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords like this?”

Everyone was terrified.

Xiao Mang widened her eyes incredulously. She couldn’t believe that the Ancestral Patriarch could be this shameless.

Meanwhile, Wu Shan and the Sect Master of the Ghost Underworld Sect looked at Chen Fan gloatingly. They were convinced that Chen Beixuan would cave in sooner or later.
