Chapter 989 : The Deity Intercept the Laws of Heaven
True Martial Sky-severing Array?
When Chen Fan said this name, even Luo Changshen and Goddess Qing Luo were confused. They had apparently never heard about it. Only the scruffy old cultivator frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.
Luo Changshen calmed himself down and said with a mocking tone, “Bulls**t. How would there be any array or person able to intercept the Laws of Heaven? This is totally beyond what we can do and even those ancient Saints deep in the Star Ocean don’t know how to do so.”
The others were enraged, especially when Xiao Mang saw Chen Fan as God. Watching Luo Changshen mock Chen Fan when he had no powers at all, she was furious and her face flushed.
“The fact that you don’t know about it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.”
Xiao Mang stepped up for Chen Fan.
“Haha.”
Luo Changshen laughed arrogantly and didn’t bother to refute.
The white-haired Zhao Juexian also said slowly, “Divine Prince Luo, even though you’re from the Changshen Sect, you aren’t a know-it-all. Our Master’s Divine Powers aren’t something you can imagine.”
Luo Changshen grunted and said arrogantly, “Chen Beixuan indeed knows some tricks that surprise me, but you’re people from Planet Tianhuang after all. How would you know how vast the Star Ocean and the universe are?
“The Laws of Heaven are the foundation of the universe and not even Soul Formation Cultivators can touch them. An Ancestral Patriarch in our sect came from the Purple Heaven Sacred Ground and learned from the Saints found there. The Purple Heaven Sacred Ground ranks among the top hundred in the entire Central Galaxy. Even the Saints there think that messing with the Laws of Heaven is like walking on thin ice.
“So, who else can take away the Laws of Heaven?
“I’m afraid only the Immortal Sages can be that powerful. Do you really think that your Master knows more than the Saints of the Purple Heaven Sacred Ground and surpasses them in strength?” Luo Changshen asked.
Even Zhao Juexian was speechless.
Only the top Grand Cultivators above the Soul Formation Level could be called Saints.
They were entities who looked down on the world; they were the true conquerors of the universe, superior even to complete sacred grounds and the Central Galaxy. No matter how proud Zhao Juexian was of Chen Fan, he wouldn’t think that Chen Fan was stronger than the Saints.
Suddenly.
The entire lake became cold.
Nobody talked; Chen Fan had not said a word since he last spoke.
He just stared at the Dao Fruit and felt as if his energy had become ethereal. He seemed to be thinking about something.
“Even though our Divine Prince lost his Dharma Power, he’s still much more knowledgeable than you, the people from Planet Tianhuang.”
Goddess Qing Luo was in awe of Luo Changshen. He might have lost his Dharma Power and look a bit pale, but he was still complacent and superior, which made Goddess Qing Luo admire him even more.
Xiao Mang pouted and wanted to say something, but she couldn’t refute this and tears welled up in her eyes.
When she turned around and looked at Chen Fan—
Lord Dragon suddenly said in fear, “My friend...”
“Are you talking about the True Martial... Sky-severing Array...”
“Is that the Sky... Sky-severing Array of the True... True Martial Celestial Sect?”
Xiao Mang and the others were confused.
But when Luo Changshen heard the name of the “True Martial Celestial Sect,” he froze as if struck by lightning. He seemed to have heard something unbelievable and he didn’t look arrogant anymore.
“If there isn’t another Sky-severing Array in the universe, this should be it,” Chen Fan replied with a cold voice.
He looked at the sky. There didn’t seem to be anything, but Chen Fan saw countless runes. The layers of the golden array spinned slowly, as if they had existed for billions of years.
That old array looked familiar and unfamiliar to Chen Fan at the same time.
“The True Martial Celestial Sect? The Sky-severing Array? What are they?” the sisters of the Xu family wondered.
But nobody answered.
Chen Fan, Luo Changshen and Lord Dragon remained silent.
After a while, Lord Dragon finally suppressed his fear and shook his head.
“No wonder. It would make sense if it was formed by the True Martial Celestial Sect. That is the top sect in the universe, a sect that used to have Sages. The other sacred grounds and sects can’t manage this, but the Sages of the True Martial Celestial Sect can.”
“The True Martial Celestial Sect is really powerful. What about the Purple Heaven Sacred Ground?” Goddess Qing Luo asked.
“Hm!”
Lord Dragon didn’t care to answer. He narrowed his eyes, grunted and turned around. He thought that comparing the Purple Heaven Sacred Ground with the True Martial Celestial Sect was humiliating for the True Martial Celestial Sect.
“You!”
Goddess Qing Luo was enraged.
She couldn’t maintain her elegance anymore. Her face was full of anger.
“Qing Luo, Lord Dragon is right,” Luo Changshen stopped her and said, “The Purple Heaven Sacred Ground may be one of the top hundred sacred grounds in the universe that rules dozens of planet regions and has Saints, but they’re much weaker when compared to the True Martial Celestial Sect.”
“Really?”
Even Zhao Juexian and Xiao Mang were surprised.
The Purple Heaven Sacred Ground was nothing in front of the True Martial Celestial Sect? So, how powerful was the True Martial Celestial Sect? Was it in the Top ten or or the Top Five in the universe?
“In the ancient times, thousands of races fought for the top place and there were elites everywhere. The most powerful race among the others were humans. We occupied the Central Galaxy and looked down on the world. The reason why we could do so wasn’t because of the sacred grounds, Nascent Soul Cultivators, Soul Formation Cultivators or Saints.
“It was thanks to the nine sects!” Luo Changshen stuck out nine fingers and said respectfully.
“The nine sects?”
Everyone was shocked.
Xiao Mang and the others were extremely curious. Human cultivators relied only on nine sects to survive in the universe? Where were the other sacred grounds, Divine Sects and Grand Cultivators?
“Yes, those nine sects are the only sects that have Sages since the birth of humanity. They’re known as the Nine Celestial Sects. The True Martial Celestial Sect is one of them, the first among all.” Luo Changshen nodded.
Everyone still thought that the True Martial Celestial Sect was only one of the nine Celestial Sects.
But what Luo Changshen said next frightened everybody.
“There’s also a saying that circulated across the universe.”
“Among humanity’s nine Celestial Sects, the True Martial Celestial Sect is known as...”
“The first in fighting!”
Then, everyone was stunned.
“First in fighting! Does this mean that the True Martial Celestial Sect is the strongest and the best in fighting across the universe?”
Zhao Juexian gasped.
“They may not be the strongest, but they’re definitely the best in fighting,” Chen Fan suddenly said as he looked far away, as if there were nothing in his eyes.
“Half of the worlds in the Central Galaxy occupied by humans belong to the True Martial Celestial Sect. They’re in the northern border suppressing the monsters for the sake of humanity right now. As far as I know, the True Martial Celestial Sect is already halfway into the Thousand Monster Galaxy.”
What Chen Fan said astonished the sisters of the Xu family.
“Only the True Martial Celestial Sect can make the monsters yield. I guess normal Ancestral Patriarchs and Saints wouldn’t be able to form such an earth-shattering array. I wonder which Perfected Immortal of the True Martial Celestial Sect formed this.”
Lord Dragon shook his head and smiled wryly.
Chen Fan remained silent.
He had an answer in his mind, but he didn’t want to say it.
Chen Fan looked at the Dao Fruit that was spinning continuously. He was suddenly flooded with emotions and he heaved a sigh.
“Was it you?”
“Master!”
