Chapter 1100: Who’s a Pawn?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A “Fiend Zombie” had been buried under a deity ground thousands of years in the past. It might even have already been there before Heavenly Lord Jiang, Heaven’s Equal and Master Cangqin lived there.

“Did a real ‘Deity’ do this?”

Chen Fan’s eyes glittered.

The Deity he mentioned wasn’t a Dao Reunion Perfected Immortal that people would talk about, but someone who had ascended. However, a real “Deity” was rare, there would be only one in a million years. Chen Fan went through the Tribulation when he was five hundred years old, which was why he was known as the most possible person to ascend next. Of course, he had actually gone way past this level in his previous life.

“One or a few Deities formed this deity ground millions of years ago and trapped a ‘Fiend Zombie’ inside, so that its Fiend Qi wouldn’t contaminate the world. That Fiend Zombie isn’t just a Dao Reunion Fiend Lord. It might even have the same level as the six Ancestor Fiends…” Chen Fan thought as his Divine Soul spinned, creating some sparks. Many things he wondered about in his previous life and this life appeared and began to connect like pearls.

“But why did Master and those from the Five Elements Immortal Sect, the Ascension Celestial Sect and the Dadao Sect come here? To strengthen this array?”

Chen Fan frowned.

Looking closely, he found that even though the deity ground was contaminated by Fiend Qi, there were still Deity Patterns on rocks, mountains and oceans. Those words and graphics were extremely old. Not a lot of people across the universe would be able to recognize them; even Master Cangqin would be confused.

Because those were “Deity Patterns.”

Only Tribulation Deities or real Deities could understand.

However, that wasn’t a big deal for Chen Fan. He had had a pretty good understanding of those “Deity Patterns” in his previous life.

There was golden fire burning in his eyes. His Li Fire Golden Eyes had been activated to the maximum level and he even used the “Nine Orifices Nascent Soul” to look around the “deity ground.”

Even though there were many dimensional storms around it, Chen Fan was certain about a few things.

“The main Fiend Qi of the Fiend Zombie is still being suppressed by the ‘deity ground.’ The Fiend Qi that leaked out is just a bit of its power, maybe less than one out of ten thousand.”

If the Divine Princes or the Grand Cultivators from the Star Ocean were there, their eyes would pop out.

The Fiend Qi was powerful in their eyes and a peak-stage Nascent Soul Fiend Fetus could be formed by gathering a plume of it. With more of this substance, a Nascent Soul Fiend Material could be created and it could even turn the entire “deity ground” into a fiend ground with dangers everywhere. Some Divine Princes of the large sects might have died already, but Chen Fan was only guessing. How powerful exactly would the Fiend Zombie be? If it were alive, it would probably frighten the entire universe.

Even though the Fiend Zombie was powerful, Chen Fan wasn’t afraid.

He had killed more than one being of the same level in his previous life. He was just shocked that there would be such a “creature” in the human world, and on Earth of all places. Chen Fan had never heard of it, even though he had lived there five centuries before.

“That’s right. I was just an ordinary person before I left Earth. I had just become a Soul Formation Cultivator when I returned. How could I discover the plan of the Deities in the ancient times?”

Chen Fan shook his head.

He was still frowning.

Although there was an unbelievable creature inside, the treasures found within were indeed precious for the disciples of the imperishable sects in the Little South Heavenly Realm. One “Fiend Spirit Stone” was already enough to make countless Nascent Soul and Soul Formation Cultivators fight over it.

But those treasures weren’t quite important to Master Cangqin or the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

“What’s the Grand Opportunity they’re looking for? They formed so many arrays on Earth and around the entire Abandoned Planet Region; they even used the ‘True Martial Sky-severing Array.’ Such formation would only be used for an earth-shattering opportunity. There’s no way it’s just for strengthening this array.” Chen Fan pondered.

He felt as if there were many secrets behind this. He even wondered if it was part of the plan when he had been taken away from Earth in his previous life.

“If I’m someone important in their plan, Master Cangqin would have come to pick me up even if I was on Planet Tianhuang. The Path of Heaven seems long for Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators, but Soul Formation Cultivators only need a day to travel across the path. And for the Dao Reunion Perfected Immortals, who can swallow the sun and can live millions of years, the entire Abandoned Planet Region is at their fingertips.

“However, in 2020, he took away Xiao Qiong, Grandpa, Ye Qincang and many unrelated people, leaving me here. Does this mean I’m not important at all?” Chen Fan kept on guessing.

He felt so close to the truth.

“If I’m not important, then who is?”

Chen Fan was certain.

Among the people Master Cangqin took from Earth in his previous life, he was the brightest and most successful. He had never heard of Ye Qincang, Hua Yunfenga and Xie Yan back then, so those people might have been stuck under the Soul Formation Level, or when they finally reached the Void Returning or Dao Reunion Level, Chen Fan had already been reborn.

He looked up at the sky and glanced over every corner of the vast “deity ground.” Chen Fan even saw some cultivators surrounded by auras of different colors. They could either be enveloped in Fiend Qi or silver glitters, or bright like the sun. All of them were flying around the deity ground like shiny little humans.

At this moment—

The ones Chen Fan could still see through the dimensional storms were the truly powerful cultivators from the Star Ocean. One of the young men was enveloped in an aura like Apollo, which made Chen Fan narrow his eyes a bit.

The Divine Prince of the Apollo Sect!

“Just wait for me. I’ll enter the deity ground soon and kill you all!” Chen Fan whispered with coldness in his eyes.

But he was still confused. If Chen Fan wasn’t the most important pawn, who was? And what exactly did the Celestial Sects want?

“Perhaps…”

Chen Fan was suddenly shocked.

He looked up and activated his Li Fire Golden Eyes to the highest level. His eyes were like two golden torches as he scoured the deity ground.

Then.

An unimaginable sight appeared in front of Chen Fan.
