Chapter 1122: A Chaotic Fiend G.o.d
The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace was completely stunned as he s.h.i.+vered and said, “This is the fiend that’s trapped underneath the deity ground? Why is it so big? I heard that the Demon King of the Ancient Demons is only a hundred thousand feet long, but this thing looks longer than a hundred million miles. One of its fingers is larger than a planet and its entire body is probably as large as a stellar system.”
Those who had never seen a corpse of a Fiend G.o.d could never imagine how astonished the Divine Prince was.
When people looked at the sun from Earth, it was just the size of a silver bowl, but when they were dozens of kilometers away from it, they would find that the fireball was countless kilometers long, and it would occupy their entire sight.
It was also important to consider that the Fiend G.o.d’s body was much more distant, as seen from where Chen Fan and the Divine Prince were. If the deity ground wasn’t blocking its horrifying power, the two of them would have been pushed to the ground.
“Look… Look, its chest is still… still moving. Is it still alive?” The Divine Prince was dumbfounded, and his body was shaking.
“If it’s indeed alive, it’ll be even more horrifying than when it lived during its normal lifespan,” Chen Fan replied.
A body that didn’t decay after millions of years was worth admiring, but something able to live billions of years was a frightened existence. Not even Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals were able to live more than ten thousand years; this monster was still alive after billions of years. What kind of terrifying creature was it? This was surely some famous behemoth even in the ancient times.
“Do you know what it is?” the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace asked as he trembled.
At the same time—
The six demons inside the Six Sacred Fiend World also sneaked out. They stood behind the six Ancestor Fiends and crazily sucked in the incredibly dense Fiend Qi in the environment; they looked at Chen Fan with a curious face.
That Fiend Zombie was too terrifying.
It could crush the world and frighten Nascent Soul Cultivators dozens of miles away. If it wasn’t for the deity ground, it could turn a planet to a dead zone by just lying there. Its endless Fiend Qi would sweep the world and turn half of the planet region into a realm of fiends in all the human settlements.
Let alone everything else.
Everyone knew how terrifying the Fiend Zombie was by merely looking at how its Fiend Qi leaked out to the deity ground, sp.a.w.ning myriads of Golden Core and Nascent Soul Fiends, including the Pseudo-Soul Formation Fiends in the ninety-nine Origin Divine Palaces.
“Not even the legendary Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals on the top of the universe or the Ancient Demon Lords of the Fiend World are that powerful,” the Divine Prince said with dull eyes.
“Even the corpse of a Dao Reunion Perfected Immortal would only decay after billions of years,” Chen Fan replied.
Time was the most powerful energy in the world.
Powerful cultivators—like the Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals—would also die after millions of years. Even if they found some Deity Medicines to extend their lives, they would only be able to survive for a million years more. Wasn’t that why so many cultivators wanted to ascend to the Deity Realm for the sake of longevity?
Mu Xiao, who was enveloped in black bark, asked with a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Master, do you know what it is?”
It was one of the prisoners Chen Fan brought out from Mount Emperor. It used to be at the mid stage of the Pseudo-Nascent Soul Level, but Chen Fan had been providing Fiend Qi for cultivation. The fiend ground seemed to also have helped; Mu Xiao seemed to be breaking through a bottleneck, and was about to enter the peak-stage Nascent Soul Level.
Chen Fan remained silent.
The Divine Prince also turned around. “Chen Beixuan, I know you have a mysterious background. You must be related to the nine Celestial Sects even if you aren’t one of them, since you can control the Origin Divine Palace’s array. Even so, I don’t believe you know where this Fiend Zombie came from. It’s been here for billions of years; even the most powerful cultivators of the nine Celestial Sects have no idea about its origin, at least not our Divine Emperor.”
The current Divine Emperor of Apollo Palace was known as the most powerful Overlord in the Little South Heavenly Realm.
Apollo Palace slowly rose to the top of the realm under his lead. They conquered two planet regions in a row and dominated the Little South Heavenly Realm.
If even such an earth-shattering cultivator didn’t know about it, the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace didn’t believe Chen Fan would.
In fact, Mu Xiao and the other demons were also doubtful.
“I indeed don’t know what it is,” Chen Fan answered calmly. When the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace started to look complacent, Chen Fan continued, “But I know its ident.i.ty.”
“Oh?” The Divine Prince sneered with confusion in his eyes.
“Ever since the end of the ancient time period, the Deities were unable to easily travel to the human world anymore. This beast has been sleeping here for billions of years or may have already died, even though its body hasn’t decayed. Then, there’s only one possibility: It was suppressed by the Deities during the ancient times billions of years ago. The Deity Patterns on the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion of the deity ground actually prove this,” Chen Fan said.
The history of Earth was the evidence of what Chen Fan had said.
That Fiend Zombie had been sleeping in the Earth’s core for billions of years. If it would have happened after Earth was born, the planet would have never been able to take its powerful energy, and would have exploded right away.
Chen Fan considered that as the more likely reason.
That Fiend Zombie had been sealed deep inside Earth by the Deities.
“So, Earth seems to be a place beyond my imagination. It can trap a Fiend G.o.d that is more powerful than a Dao Reunion Perfected Immortal from the ancient times. Perhaps it used to be one of the real ancient planets or a fragment of an ancient planet from the past,” Chen Fan pondered.
“The ancient times?”
Mu Xiao, the Divine Prince and the others were startled.
These “ancient times” did not allude to the era people on Earth and the Abandoned Planet Region talked about, but a much earlier time before the universe was formed, a primordial era. Those were the real ancient times when Fiend G.o.ds and Deities fought. A planet could be as large as a galaxy back then, with a diameter of billions of miles.
In such an era, even ordinary humans might have bodies as powerful as those of Golden Core or Nascent Soul Cultivators.
In fact, there were so many ordinary people only because the Spirit Qi dissipated and the primordial world was shattered. The human race had been quite famous in the past. Each one of them could fight dragons and tear eagles apart, not to mention those Fiend G.o.ds born from chaos.
“This is the legendary Chaotic Fiend G.o.d?” The Divine Prince of Apollo Palace started trembling again.
Chaotic Fiend G.o.ds!
Those ent.i.ties were the stuff of old legends. They belonged to the Primordial Race, meaning that they had come into existence even before the world was created. The True Dragon, the Heavenly Phoenix, the Xuan Wu, the Kun Peng and the Divine Ape came from the bloodline of the Chaotic Fiend G.o.ds. There had already existed the very first True Dragon and the first Kun Peng before the world was born; of course, their bloodline and power were certainly much more powerful when compared to what their descendants inherited.
Their descendants were still comparable to Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals when they reached adulthood, after countless generations, which showed how powerful their ancestors had been.
Those legendary Chaotic Fiend G.o.ds were said to be able to flick planets away, capture moons and stars, and cover the sky with one hand. The most powerful ones among them were even able to create worlds, and were on an equal footing with the ancient Heavenly Venerates. How terrifying was that? To a certain extent, the Deities in Heaven weren’t much stronger than the Chaotic Fiend G.o.ds.
“Is it really a Chaotic Fiend G.o.d?” Even Mu Xiao was stunned.
The “Soul Eating Beast” that looked like a monkey trembled. Its black fur stuck out and it rolled into a ball, fearfully looking at the Fiend Zombie floating in the dimensional storms.
“Yes, and no,” Chen Fan replied.
“Master Chen, what do you mean?” a demon asked with a hoa.r.s.e voice.
The other demons and the Divine Prince also turned around and looked at Chen Fan.
“The Chaotic Fiend G.o.ds were born from chaos and they can be divided into birthed Fiend G.o.ds and nurtured Fiend G.o.ds,” Chen Fan said, “Birthed Fiend G.o.ds came to being with the world and are the truly powerful ones. Each of them is comparable to a Deity in Heaven, or even more powerful. Strong Divine Beasts like the Candle Dragon, the Red Sparrow, the Kun Peng, the Zhuyan and the True Dragon can kill Mysterious Deities. As for nurtured Fiend G.o.ds, they appeared after the world was born. Not all of these Fiend G.o.ds are powerful. The strong ones can be compared to the Heavenly Venerates, but the weak ones are only on par with Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals or Grand Cultivators and Saints.
“As the bloodline weakens generation after generation, the weakest among them may fall to the Nascent Soul or even the Connate and Golden Core levels. So, they can’t be called Fiend G.o.ds anymore. They’re just ordinary races.”
Chen Fan looked at the giant fiend body. “Although it’s powerful and it still hasn’t decayed after billions of years, it’s inferior to the real Chaotic Fiend G.o.ds that truly dominate the world and travel in Heaven. It has the level of a normal Mysterious Deity, so it should be a nurtured Fiend G.o.d.”
“A nurtured Fiend G.o.d?” Mu Xiao and the others were shocked.
“How do you know that? Why do I feel you’re just bluffing?” The Divine Prince stared at Chen Fan doubtfully. He had only managed to see Soul Formation Grand Cultivators in all his life, so he had no way to gauge powerful cultivators above that level, including the Saints and Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals. Chen Fan suddenly said that it was a nurtured Fiend G.o.d comparable to a Mysterious Deity. How could the Divine Prince of Apollo Palace not doubt him?
In fact, he didn’t even know what a Mysterious Deity was.
That level was too high for him; he was countless stages behind. Not even the Divine Emperor of Apollo Palace would see one in his entire life, let alone the Divine Prince.
“Haha.”
Chen Fan chuckled, not bothering to refute.
Was that Nascent Soul ant worthy enough for the North Mystic Celestial Lord to lie?
Chen Fan lowered his head and looked at the fiend body that was billions of miles long. There were mountains on top of it; a single black scale could be a few thousand miles large, comparable to a continent. Chen Fan could even see a lot of creatures living there. They had different races and civilizations, just like humans. There might even be Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators.
“For them, this fiend body has existed for billions of years and may even be older than Earth. So, is it like an ancient planet, an incredibly large ancient planet full of Fiend Qi?” Chen Fan whispered.
Other people might not know.
But Chen Fan had indeed fought with the Deities from Heaven in his last life. He had even fought with Fiend G.o.ds born from chaos, killing more than one of them, so he was able to identify whether the fiend was a birthed or a nurtured Fiend G.o.d just by looking at it.
“I thought I’d need a few centuries more to return to the level I attained in my previous life. I think I’ll be able to shorten the time with this Fiend Zombie.” Chen Fan’s eyes shone brighter and brighter as he looked at the gargantuan corpse.
