Beast Taming: I can even raise gods and demons!

Chapter 250 The Guardian of the Divine Stone, the Sealing Array (5353 words)

It was late at night.

In Chen Fan's backyard, three crippled men were drinking.

Feng Tianlin held the wine pot and served respectfully to the side.

Suddenly, the butler, Uncle Dong, led two people in.

"Principal? Director? What brings you here..."

Feng Tianlin went to meet him.

The visitors were the vice president and director of studies of the First Martial Arts University.

The head of student affairs said, "Isn't Chen Fan home? We've sent him many messages and called him, but he hasn't answered."

"Oh... Grandpa Lame and the others said Chen Fan and Chu Xuan went to the secret realm to cultivate," Feng Tianlin said. "They don't know exactly when they'll be back."

"Principal, is there something you need from him?"

"He went to the secret realm to cultivate?" The vice principal frowned and said, "It's not anything urgent, I just wanted to ask him about his challenge against the other martial arts universities."

"It's been more than half a month since he defeated Zong Hao last time..."

"He's busy," the lame man said without looking up. "Let Chu Xuan go when they return in a few days."

"Huh?" The vice principal and the dean of students were both stunned.

Just then...

A figure flashed across the field, and Li Mu had already appeared next to the cripple.

The cripple rolled his eyes and said, "Here we go again, urging you to hurry up with your armor? You really think you can treat us old folks like donkeys?"

The deaf man rolled his eyes.

The mute man continued drinking, completely unaware of Li Mu's arrival.

Li Mu shook his head: "Something terrible has happened... Where is Chen Fan?"

The mute and the deaf both raised their heads.

Li Mu's true strength was naturally far inferior to theirs.

But on Earth, in the Tang Dynasty, Li Mu was someone who could cause a major earthquake with a single stomp of his foot.

He revealed something terrible...

The cripple's expression hardened slightly: "Explain yourself clearly!"

Li Mu glanced at Feng Tianlin and the principal, who were all listening intently, and then gently waved his right hand...

"call!"

The principal and Feng Tianlin felt a blur before their eyes, and they found themselves on the campus of the First Martial Arts University.

……

in the garden.

Li Mu said in a deep voice, "Just a short while ago, an aura that made my heart tremble emanated from the Fifth Forbidden Zone..."

"What?" The three deaf men were all stunned.

Li Mu said, "I sent someone to investigate..."

"The specific situation is as follows... The various forces that entered the Fifth Forbidden Zone joined forces to tear open an opening in the ancient barrier that might contain the Five-Colored Divine Stone, and sent someone from the Nightmare Court inside."

"As soon as that person entered the Nightmare Court, he was severely injured by the power of the barrier and then thrown back."

"That's not the point..."

"The key point is that, the instant they worked together to tear a hole in the barrier, I sensed an indescribable, terrifying aura!"

"That terrifying aura escaped from that ancient barrier and then rushed out of the Fifth Forbidden Zone!"

The cripple's eyes narrowed slightly: "How terrifying?"

Li Mu remained silent for a while before saying, "Compared to the Sixth Heavenly Demon King, he's probably only stronger, if not weaker!"

The three crippled men exchanged glances and fell silent.

They had all fought against the Sixth Demon King.

They had also seen beings even more powerful than the Sixth Heaven Demon King.

but……

The cripple raised his head slightly and vanished into thin air.

The next moment, the lame man's voice rang out from Chen Fan's room: "Xiao Fan? The blind man?!"

After calling out a few times...

With a flash, the lame man returned to the stone table, his expression turning grim: "This is a bit troublesome..."

"The anomaly you sensed might be related to Xiao Fan and the others."

……

Outside the palace on the mountaintop.

Chen Fan, carrying the Heaven-Slaying Demon Blade, stood ready for battle!

But then, from inside the palace, small stone figures, each less than a meter tall, walked out step by step.

[Monster Name]: Thunder Stone Golem (Godstone Guardian)

[Combat Power Level]: ? ? ?

[Racial Ranking]: ? ? ?

[Monster Attribute]: Thunder

[Monster Status]: Friendly, Happy

If it weren't for seeing "Friendly" and "Happy" at the bottom of the attribute panel, Chen Fan would have almost slashed at them with his sword.

question mark……

Another question mark!

This seemingly harmless little stone golem is actually on the same level as the Void Terror Demon we saw before?

Chen Fan dared not be careless. He raised his hand, pointing the tip of his knife at the small stone figure, and said, "Stand there and don't move. Who are you?"

The little stone man stopped and spoke in a child's voice: "Stand still, who are you?"

Chen Fan: "I'm asking you!"

Little Stone Man: "I'm asking you!"

Chen Fan: "Mimicking my speech?"

Little Stone Man: "Trying to talk like me?"

Chen Fan: "The person who did this last time, I've already smashed their head in."

Little Stone Man: "The person who did this last time, I've already smashed their head in."

Chen Fan grinned: "Authentic good herbal tea, authentic good voice! Welcome to 'The Voice of China,' sponsored by JDB, the leading herbal tea brand.

Little Stone Man: "..."

Chu Xuan and the others behind them: "..."

After a while, the little stone man tilted his head slightly and said, "Don't misunderstand, I was actually learning your language just now."

The little stone man spoke haltingly, but his enunciation was clear.

"I am the guardian of this place..."

The little stone man's words quickly became fluent: "Strictly speaking, I am a puppet created by the Dutian God Clan, given life by them, and responsible for guarding this place."

"The Dutian Divine Clan?" Chen Fan's expression shifted slightly. "The Dutian Divine Clan you're referring to, is it the Dutian Night Clan?"

The expressions of Chu Xuan and the others behind him also changed slightly.

They had heard about the "Dutian Night Clan" from Chen Fan several times before.

"Yes," the little stone man nodded and said, "The Dutian Night Clan is the Dutian God Clan, the most powerful god clan in the vast God Realm."

Chen Fan's eyes narrowed slightly. He beckoned to Ye Hao behind him, then pulled Ye Hao in front of the little stone figure and asked, "Do you know him?"

Ye Hao: "..."

Everyone: "..."

The little stone man shook his head: "I don't know him."

"Among you, only you possess a divine body..."

"But...why is he carrying the Heavenly Pillar?"

"And him, he..."

The little stone man pointed at Chu Xuan and Shen Daodao and said, "Why is it that they have no divine power at all, yet they were able to make the Heavenly Sacrifice Stele and the Twelve Wings of the God King recognize them as their masters?"

"Ouch, my head hurts a little..."

"So many years have passed, I can't remember many things."

"It's alright if you can't remember..." Chen Fan said, "Since you recognize the sacrificial stele and the pillar that reaches the heavens in their hands, you should also recognize the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade in my hand, right?"

The little stone man nodded: "Of course I recognize it."

Chen Fan said, "Then tell me, what exactly is going on here?"

The little stone man blinked, scratched his head, and said, "Let me think..."

"More than ten thousand years ago, it seems that some strange change occurred in the vast divine realm."

"This caused countless rifts to appear in different dimensions, connecting them all..."

Chen Fan and the others: "!!!"

Cracks appeared one after another in the sky above Blue Star and Tianyu Realm because of an anomaly in the God Realm.

The little stone man continued, "The Ancient God Realm was also affected, and it became connected with another small world."

"And the area where you and I are now is the rift connecting the Ancient God Realm and that small world."

crack……

Sure enough!

Chen Fan and Chu Xuan were deeply shocked.

As expected, a rift appeared in the Ancient God Realm, connecting it to Earth!

The fifth forbidden zone is the rift connecting the Ancient God Realm and Blue Star!

The little stone man said, "Later, several adults used their immense supernatural powers to repair the rift in the ancient god realm."

"However, a Void Demon, along with a group of minions, managed to escape."

"The esteemed officials went to great lengths to set up a grand formation, and then used the Five-Colored Divine Stone to suppress the Void Demon here."

"However, after ten thousand years, the seal began to loosen."

"Those little demons would occasionally rush out and attack the outermost barrier like madmen."

Little devil?

The Void Terror Demon was just a minor demon in your eyes?

Chen Fan subconsciously glanced at the little stone man's height.

This little guy has quite the big mouth.

Chen Fan said in a deep voice, "You just said the seal has loosened... I think it's more than just a loosening, isn't it?"

"After that Void Terror was blasted away, the people outside have already torn a hole in the barrier!"

The little stone man stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief: "You...you found out!"

"..." Chen Fan almost went berserk: "Even a fool could see that!"

"There are five-colored divine stones and a great formation here. Can't you directly use the power of the formation or the power of the five-colored divine stones to blast away those...little demons?"

"Yes, I have," said the little stone man. "For over ten thousand years, I've been doing just that."

Chen Fan and the others: "..."

The little stone man said, "But... my power is almost exhausted."

"The Five-Colored Divine Stone requires powerful energy to activate."

"Right now, both I and the Five-Colored Divine Stone are extremely weak..."

"That's why we didn't open an upward path for you before."

"I originally thought you had the ability to break through the great formation and reach the top of the mountain."

"I didn't expect you to be so useless."

Chen Fan turned to look at Ye Hao: "Is this little guy looking down on me?"

Ye Hao shook his head: "Brother Fan, it doesn't seem like... he's just looking down on you!"

Chen Fan glanced at the little stone man.

I'll let it slide today, considering the bunch of question marks on your attribute panel.

Chen Fan asked, "How powerful is the sealed Void Demon?"

The little stone man raised his head, blinked, and after a while said, "Very strong."

"How strong is 'very strong'?"

"have no idea."

"..."

"But now that you're here, that's good..." The little stone man pointed at the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade in Chen Fan's hand and said, "By combining the power of the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade, the Heaven-Reaching Divine Pillar, the Heaven-Sacrificing Stele, and the Twelve Wings of the God King, plus the Five-Colored Divine Stone, we should... perhaps, be able to blast it to pieces."

should?

perhaps?

Chen Fan silently looked at the short man in front of him.

This little stone man seems pretty unreliable.

I'm a little annoyed...

I came here specifically to retrieve the Five-Colored Divine Stone.

Now, not only can we not obtain the Five-Colored Divine Stone, but we also have to sacrifice our Heaven-Severing Demon Blade.

You can't completely trust what that little stone man says...

What if this guy is planning to destroy the Heavenly Demon Blade, the Heavenly Pillar, and other divine artifacts?

Then the little stone man turned around and walked into the palace, saying as he went, "Gentlemen, please follow me."

Chen Fan and Chu Xuan exchanged a glance and slowly followed.

Before long, the little stone man led everyone to the center of the palace.

On a stone platform in the center of the palace floated a yellowish-brown divine stone that emitted a divine light.

One of the five-colored divine stones!

"Chen...Fan..."

Just as Chen Fan approached, the voice of the Five-Colored Divine Stone rang in his mind again.

To Chen Fan's surprise...

This five-colored divine stone actually uttered the name "Chen Fan"!

Chen Fan walked up the steps on the stone platform.

The small, five-colored divine stone slowly circled him twice.

Chen Fan smiled slightly: "Long time no see."

Chu Xuan and the others below: "!!!"

The little stone man was also surprised: "You've seen the Five-Colored Divine Stone?"

"I've seen it in my dreams," Chen Fan said. "Perhaps... I've seen it in a past life?"

Chen Fan subconsciously extended his right hand.

The five-colored divine stone flew up and slowly floated in the palm of his right hand, emitting a warm light.

next moment……

Everything centered around this palace suddenly appeared out of thin air in Chen Fan's mind!

Palaces, mountains...

The forest outside.

Beneath the mountain lies a massive cave.

Inside the cave, countless thick chains bound an enormous humanoid demon!

A demonic knife was stuck in the chest of the humanoid monster...

The Heaven-Slaying Demon Blade!

Chen Fan looked down at the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade in his hand.

That's right...

It's exactly the same!

Even their auras are the same!

It truly is the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade!

At that very moment, Chen Fan suddenly felt a connection between himself and the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade stuck in the Great Demon's chest!

The Heaven-Severing Demon Blade in his hand, like the one in the Great Demon's chest, seemed to be connected to his soul, like his arm...

Just as Chen Fan was carefully examining the demonic blade on the demon's chest, the demon suddenly raised its head and "looked" at Chen Fan!

Six eyes...

The Great Demon's six eyes flashed with a sharp light simultaneously!

"what!"

Chen Fan screamed in agony, feeling as if a sharp thorn had suddenly pierced through his head!

Everything went black as Chen Fan fell straight off the stone platform!

"Bang!"

Shen Hongxiu caught Chen Fan as he fell.

Another princess carry...

Ye Hao rushed over, exclaiming, "Brother Fan, what's wrong? What happened?"

A flash of light appeared in the air, and the five-colored divine stone had already circled around Chen Fan's head once.

Chen Fan rubbed his head, feeling as if the thorn had been pulled out, and felt much better.

"You fucking..."

Chen Fan jumped down from Shen Hongxiu's arms, a flash of anger in his eyes, and reached down to grab at something below!

"boom!"

There was no sound from the outside, but for some reason, a booming sound rang in the minds of Chu Xuan and the others at the same time!

Under Chen Fan's "gaze," the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade, which was stuck in the chest of the Great Demon in the underground cave, suddenly plunged three inches deeper!

The great demon, who was already on the verge of death, suffered an even greater drop in strength after being stabbed by the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade!

"What happened?"

Chu Xuan was a little worried about Chen Fan's condition and couldn't help but ask.

Chen Fan said in a deep voice, "Just now, after the five-colored divine stone floated in my palm, a great formation centered on this mountain appeared in my mind, as well as the image of the six-eyed demon sealed under the mountain."

"He saw me too..."

He glared at me.

"I felt like a sharp spike had pierced my head."

"But he's not feeling well either..."

"He had the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade stuck in his chest. I can control the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade, so I stabbed him again with all my might!"

Everyone present couldn't help but wipe away a bead of sweat.

Chen Fan suddenly turned around and looked at the little stone man: "Tell me, what should we do now?"

The little stone man gently touched the five-colored divine stone floating in the void with his finger.

Immediately, points of light began to flicker in the void.

The array diagram that had previously appeared in Chen Fan's mind was now in front of everyone.

The little stone man pointed to each of the four positions on the array diagram, and then said, "Place the Heaven-Sacrificing Stele, the Heaven-Reaching Divine Pillar, the Twelve Wings of the God King, and the Heaven-Severing Demon Blade in these four places to strengthen the seal."

"After that, I need crystal cores, a large number of powerful monster crystal cores, to reinforce the formation."

"I still need your power; I need the Five-Colored Divine Stone to absorb your power..."

Shen Daodao, who had been silent until now, suddenly became furious and shouted, "Damn it, I knew you weren't a good person the moment I saw you! You're just after the divine weapons we have!"

"It's just that Brother Fan was talking to you, so I didn't have a chance to interrupt!"

"I haven't even had a chance to properly enjoy the twelve wings of the God-King, and you already want to take them away?"

"No way!"

Ye Hao frowned as well.

Chu Xuan remained expressionless, neither confirming nor denying.

Chen Fan gently patted Shen Daodao's shoulder and comforted him, "The divine weapons we possess are merely projections... Even if we use them here, we can still summon them again when we return to the Angel God King Realm and the Ancient God Realm."

"If we don't do as he says, and that void demon escapes, the Demon City is doomed..."

"No, I'm afraid the Tang Dynasty is doomed."

At this point, Chen Fan's face turned bitter as he said, "I'm not exaggerating... The Void Terror Demon that attacked the barrier earlier was very likely an existence comparable to Minister Li Mu."

"And you just heard about that kind of being..."

"The little stone man said that was just a 'little brother'!"

"The little stone man can manipulate the five-colored divine stone and easily destroy those 'minions,' but he's helpless against the demon suppressed beneath this mountain!"

"That's... a god-like being!"

Shen Daodao and the others immediately turned pale.

At this moment, the blind man spoke in the Beast Taming Space: "Xiao Fan, do as that stone man said... I've been observing this formation the whole time."

"He's right. Placing these four divine weapons in those four locations will solidify the great formation."

"Since you can communicate with the Five-Colored Divine Stone, you can control this great formation."

"And on the chest of the suppressed demon, there was a Heaven-Severing Demon Blade..."

"With a little time and proper handling, you might be able to completely destroy that demon once and for all!"
