There were many teleportation arrays in the Northern Liang Country.
There was no need for Ning Fan to personally fly across the seventy million li * (500m per li) of the country.After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ning Fan and the others had already arrived at the Northern Liang Province. Zhao Shuai and the others went to the clan to hand over the ice ginseng and complete their mission. Under Great Elder Fu Bai's lead, Ning Fan, Yue Ying and Fen Fen headed to the Evening Snow Pavilion in the province.The Evening Snow Pavilion stood amidst thousands of snowy mountains, implying the meaning of a thousand mountains of evening snow.There were layers of formation light and guards outside the pavilion. Outside the formation light, there was an ancient stele with several lines of ancient characters written on it. It was the Gu Tuo demonic text."What is love in the world? It teaches you to live and die together.""Two travelers from all over the world, how many times have my wings returned to winter and summer?""Joy is fun, parting is bitter, and there are even infatuated children.""Jun Yingying's words: Vast and boundless layers of clouds, thousands of mountains in the evening snow, only the shadow goes to who."These lines of devil characters were from a long time ago. They were signed by the Giant Devil Progenitor.There was another line of small words at the bottom of the inscription."Giant Demon Six-Winged, I will not give up in life or death! If you become the devil's slave, I will follow you. "From these words, one could see that the Giant Demon Ancestor was an infatuated person. He was trapped by love but never regretted it.Ning Fan's impression of the Giant Devil Clan deepened. This clan was indeed a devil clan that valued relationships.He also noticed that the Giant Demon Progenitor had mentioned the Giant Demon Six-Winged. Perhaps the 'Monarch' referred to the Six-Winged Progenitor, whereas the 'Qie' referred to the Giant Devil Progenitor."The progenitor of the Giant Devil Clan … is actually a woman …" Ning Fan said in surprise.From this small tablet, he could guess the gender of the Giant Demon Progenitor.From the sentence 'If you become a devil slave, I will naturally follow you', Ning Fan had some guesses in his mind. Perhaps Great Emperor Mo Luo had subdued the four great devil slaves before Six-Winged Giant Devil.Liu Yi became a demon slave, and the Giant Demon Progenitor became disheartened. He willingly became a slave and followed Liu Yi.If Ning Fan's guess was correct, the ancestor of the Giant Devil Clan was an infatuated woman.Ning Fan was just thinking about this kind of secret and did not really care about it.Yue and Fen, on the other hand, felt a little sad when they saw the farewell poem on the tablet. After all, they were women.The group followed First Elder Fu Bai into the Evening Snow Pavilion. A solemn and cold atmosphere suddenly spread out from the Evening Snow Pavilion, and they could faintly hear some arguments.Along the way, Ning Fan had already been told the whole story by Fu Bai. Thus, he naturally knew what was going on in the Evening Snow Pavilion.The king of Shi Le Country, a Void-Grade cultivation country of the Rain World, came to the Giant Devil Clan.Shi Kun, the country lord of Shi Le Country, was a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator. At the same time, he possessed a strong physical body at the First Level of the Golden Body Realm. He had cultivated a fiendgod cultivation method called the Ghost Stone Divine Vein to the point of perfection. Under dual cultivation of body and magic power, there were rarely any Void Glimpse Stage cultivators who were his match at the same level as him.He claimed that he came to the Giant Devil Clan to look for Feng Xueyan so that she could help him inscribe devil marks on himself.Feng Xueyan was the eldest daughter of the Giant Devil Clan. At the same time, she was also an inscription master whose name shook the entire internal sea.Ever since she was born, she had contracted a strange illness. Her body was constantly feverish and she was unable to cultivate. Her cultivation was only at the tenth level of the Vein Opening Realm.She was sickly and said to be mute.She often needed large amounts of Pseudo Desolate Beast Monster Cores to refine into Devil Cores to prolong her life.This young lady had been a loner since she was young. However, no one knew why she was born with the inscription technique. Many body cultivators requested her to inscribe devil marks on their juniors.If she was willing to inscribe devil marks, she could inscribe any kind of general rank devil marks on you. She had even inscribed a marshal rank devil mark on a senior and became famous for a while.If she was unwilling to inscribe devil marks on you, she would hide herself and refuse to see anyone.Even though her cultivation base was low, she was especially good at hiding herself. She would not reveal any trace of her qi. No one could find her and they could only wait for her to show herself.This was indeed a strange thing.This time, Feng Xueyan was initially unwilling to inscribe devil marks on herself. However, Shi Le Country was too powerful and the Giant Devil Clan could not afford to offend them. In order to prevent her father from being troubled, she agreed to inscribe devil marks on Shi Kun's son. However, on the day of the inscription, she suddenly went back on her word and hid herself.This matter made the country lord of Shi Le Country furious. He demanded an explanation from the Giant Devil Clan. Why did the Giant Devil Clan go back on their word?Venerable Giant also had a headache because of this daughter of his. However, he knew that his daughter would not throw a tantrum when it came to major matters.There was a rumor that the night before Feng Xueyan went back on her word, the son of the country lord of Shi Le Country had sneaked into her bedroom …After learning about this news, Venerable Giant was inwardly furious. He had already guessed that Feng Xueyan's sudden disappearance must have something to do with the son of Shi Le Country.After that, a dispute broke out between both parties.The country lord of Shi Le Country proposed to either hand over Feng Xueyan and let her inscribe the devil marks on his son to fulfill the agreement between both parties.Otherwise, the Giant Devil Clan must compensate Shi Le Country.As for the compensation that the country lord of Shi Le Country wanted, it was actually the Void Inquiry Pill that the Giant Devil Clan had given him as the reward for completing the mission!With Ning Fan's intelligence, he could tell that something was fishy just by listening to Fu Bai's rough description.The reason why the country lord of Shi Le Country came to the Giant Devil Clan to inscribe devil marks on his son was probably because he wanted the Void Inquiry Pill.Didn't the country lord of Shi Le Country need a Void Inquiry Pill to break through to the Void Inquiry Stage?This person was a Void Glimpse Stage old monster. Moreover, he was an unrivalled expert among Void Glimpse Stage experts.The Giant Devil Clan could not afford to offend Shi Le Country. However, Ning Fan's strength, spiritual puppets and Yue Lingkong were much stronger than Shi Le Country in every aspect."Later on, I hope that Fellow Daoist can show up and intimidate the country lord of Shi Le Country on behalf of our Giant Devil Clan. At the same time, let him know that the Giant Devil Clan is not to be trifled with. Then, he can put away some of his schemes!" Fu Bai requested."Don't worry. I will still take action this time even if it's for Qiuling's sake. I know what I'm doing … However, I have a question. I've heard of a rumor before. Isn't there a Void Pierce Stage expert in the Giant Devil Clan? Why are you afraid of a Void Glimpse Stage expert?""* Cough * cough * … Fellow Daoist must be joking. This news is definitely a rumor. The members of our Giant Devil Clan are weak and feeble. How can we have a Void Pierce Stage expert? "Fu Bai let out a few dry coughs. His expression did not change but a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. Ning Fan caught it.What is he surprised about?Could it be that the Giant Devil Clan really has a Void Pierce Stage expert?However, if they really have a Void Pierce Stage expert, would they stand by and watch the Giant Devil Clan being bullied by others?Even though he was not sure if there was a Void Pierce Stage expert in the Giant Devil Clan, he was certain of one thing.Even though he was not sure if there was a Void Pierce Stage expert in the Giant Devil Clan, he was certain of one thing.Fortunately, both of them did not hold any grudges against each other. Even if the Giant Devil Clan had their own secrets, they would not target him.In the Evening Snow Pavilion, Venerated Giant, Ju Qing and Old Ancestor Dong Xu were sitting on the main seats. Xu Qiuling and a few elders of the Giant Devil Clan were sitting below them.Seven people were sitting on the guest seats. The leader of the group was a burly man in yellow robes. His muscles were strong and muscular and he looked strong and courageous. He was none other than the king of Shi Le Country – Shi Kun. His body was flowing with a vast aura force, making the air feel oppressive.Beside Shi Kun sat a yellow-faced young man. His appearance was not bad but he was skinny and weak, as if his body had been hollowed out by alcohol and women. He was not a good man. His cultivation base was at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm. He was Shi Kun's son.As for the other five people, they were the guardians of Shi Le Country. Each of them had a terrifying cultivation base of the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm."Ju Qing, I made an agreement with you to tattoo the devil marks on my son. My son came all the way to the Endless Sea from eight hundred cultivation countries. You've accepted my generous gift but you returned. You've embarrassed me! Your Giant Devil Clan must give me an explanation. Otherwise, your clan will be annihilated! ""Humph! What kind of explanation do you want?! "Venerated Giant's eyes were cold and his tone was filled with anger."Hand over Feng Xueyan or … the Void Inquiry Pill within three days!" Shi Kun said firmly."Hehe. Could it be that the reason why the country lord of Shi Le Country went through so much trouble to come to the Endless Sea was to seize the Void Inquiry Pill of the Giant Devil Clan?" Old Ancestor Dong Xu's eyes were filled with mockery. He was not a fool. To be exact, none of the people in the room were fools.Everyone could see that this series of events was planned by the country lord of Shi Le Country. His goal was to seize the Void Inquiry Pill."Humph! I'm talking to Ju Qing. Who do you think you are? How dare you interrupt us?! " The country lord of Shi Le Country suddenly stood up and took a step forward. A vast aura force that could collapse mountains and crack the earth swept across the area and pressed down on Ju Qing and Dong Xu.With just one strike, the two of them let out a muffled groan. Their eyes were filled with shock and they coughed out blood. Their injuries were not light.Ju Qing and Dong Xu had never thought that the country lord of Shi Le Country would actually be so strong. He could injure Half-Step Void Refinement Realm experts with just his aura force.The seven venerated experts of the internal sea were not even worth mentioning compared to the country lord of Shi Le Country!This person was unrivalled among Void Glimpse Stage experts!Even though Ju Qing knew that this person was plotting against the Giant Devil Clan, he was still powerless to fight against him!"Could it be that I have no choice but to open the secret place and ask the 'Eight Ancestors' for help … However, what the Eight Ancestors are planning is only to solve the problem of the slave marks of my Giant Devil Clan and let our ancestors escape from the abyss of suffering … If I open the secret place, the efforts of the eight generations of ancestors will be wasted …"Ju Qing clenched his teeth and clenched his fists. No way. I must not let the Void Inquiry Pill affect the great plan of the Eight Ancestors.However, he was really reluctant to give away the Void Inquiry Pill.It was not that he was reluctant to give away the pill itself. Instead, it was because he still hoped to use the pill to save his daughter.The reason why he organized the Pill Ceremony was to find three pill refinement masters and borrow the Three Talents Devil Devouring Formation to concoct a pill together to save Feng Xueyan's life.He had a total of three Void Inquiry Pills. All of them were pills passed down by his ancestors as a reward for inviting the pill refinement masters.The country lord of Shi Le Country obviously coveted the Void Inquiry Pill. If he was given a pill, this matter would certainly be resolved.However, without a Void Inquiry Pill as a reward, Ju Qing did not have the confidence to take out other good items to invite the pill refinement masters.This time, the pill refinement masters he wanted to invite must be at least High Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Masters … Pill refinement masters of this level were all famous masters in the Rain World. Each of them was proud and arrogant. Without paying a huge price, why would they concoct pills for Feng Xueyan …"Could it be that I have no choice but to give Shi Kun a Void Inquiry Pill …?"Ju Qing clenched his teeth so hard that they almost broke. He was a dignified man, the leader of a clan and the indomitable Devil Lord. Today, he had no choice but to lower his head.If it wasn't for the great plan of the Eight Ancestors and to wash away the humiliation of his ancestors, Ju Qing would rather die than lower his head!"Alright. I'll give you the pill …" Ju Qing gritted his teeth. After saying those words, his expression became dejected. His original image of a middle-aged burly man instantly became much older.Old Ancestor Dong Xu watched his old friend being humiliated but he was powerless to help. His heart was filled with anger but there was nothing he could say. He could only sigh.The country lord of Shi Le Country sneered. The Void Inquiry Pill was finally in his hands.Before he received the Void Inquiry Pill, Xu Qiuling stood up gracefully. Her beautiful eyes were filled with disdain and disdain as she glanced at Shi Kun."Country Lord Shi Kun, the Void Inquiry Pill is Little Sister Xueyan's life-saving item. I can't give it to you.""Humph! Who do you think you are? How dare a Half-Step Divine Transformation Realm junior butt into my business?! "Shi Kun's eyes turned cold. His aura force pressed down on Xu Qiuling like raging waves.That aura force was enough to injure Ju Qing and Dong Xu. However, when it landed on Xu Qiuling, it was like a gentle breeze. It did not cause any damage to her at all.Strange. Extremely strange!Shi Kun's expression turned slightly surprised. His aura force that was unrivalled among Void Glimpse Stage experts actually did not hurt Xu Qiuling at all. How was this possible?What puzzled him the most was that Xu Qiuling, a mere Half-Step Divine Transformation Realm junior, actually did not have the slightest fear in her eyes when she looked at him. There was only contempt."This junior is actually not afraid of me! She can even ignore my aura force! "Shi Kun's heart shuddered. His eyes gradually turned cold.Shi Kun would never know that Xu Qiuling had never been a timid woman. On the contrary, she was very bold.She was indifferent to life and death. There was almost nothing in this world that could make her feel fear or bend her back.In this life, she was the Princess Mystic Flower Physique. In her previous life, she was the monarch of flowers and plants.Her cultivation base was not high but she inherited the aura force of the Flower Monarch in her previous life.Even a Void Fragmentation Realm expert might not be able to subdue Xu Qiuling with his aura force, let alone a Void Glimpse Stage old monster like Shi Kun.She was such an extraordinary woman."Humph! I didn't expect you to have such an evil method to resist my aura force. Alright! I've decided. Today, I will not only ask for the Void Inquiry Pill as compensation but also bring you away to study the secrets of your body. You will also be considered as the compensation of the Giant Devil Clan to me! "Shi Kun's words enraged all the cultivators of the Giant Devil Clan on the scene.However, his words could not make Xu Qiuling fearful at all."You can't touch me. You can't afford to offend my man.""Haha! Ridiculous! Who is your man? I can't afford to offend him! " Shi Kun seemed to have heard something ridiculous. At the next moment, a terrifying baleful qi came from outside the pavilion, causing him to be unable to laugh anymore."I'm Zhou Ming. I'm her man. You can't afford to offend her!"(2/3) (To be continued)It was an earth-shattering baleful aura that carried with it the aura of slaughtering the common people!
In the face of this baleful qi, Shi Kun felt his breathing become sluggish. His qi instantly became chaotic. There seemed to be an illusion of a sea of blood appearing in front of his eyes. Each of the sea of blood was filled with the experts he had killed before.
Along the way, countless Vein Opening, Harmonious Spirit, Gold Core, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Severing Realm cultivators were buried in this sea of evil Qi, turning into traces of evil Qi.
This wave of baleful qi actually contained the ferocious might of the deaths of dozens of Void Refinement Realm experts. Moreover, there was also the baleful qi left behind by Void Inquiry Stage old monsters!
Shi Kun let out a loud shout and released all the mana in his body. Pieces of green stone scales appeared on his body. Just now, he was barely able to block the pressure, but he was already sweating profusely and shocked.
He couldn't imagine what kind of powerhouse could have killed so many powerhouses and accumulated such a shocking amount of evil energy!
Could it be … an unrivalled Void Inquiry Stage old monster?!
How could Shi Kun dare to offend an old monster of that level!
Shi Kun was only barely able to block the baleful aura. His son and the five Imperial Advisors he brought were directly injured by the baleful aura.
The five Half-Step Void Refinement Realm imperial advisors were bleeding from their mouths and teeth. Their primordial spirits were in excruciating pain.
Shi Kun's son had the lowest cultivation base. He was only at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm. Among the young geniuses of the current Rain World, he might be considered as a heavenly pride. However, in Ning Fan's eyes, he was just a speck of dust, an ant!
Shi Kun's son felt as if he had suffered a heavy blow to his chest. The immortal veins in his body were broken and the thousand-year-old snowwood chair that he was sitting on was directly shattered by the baleful qi. He knelt on the ground and coughed out blood incessantly. He was almost killed by Ning Fan's baleful qi!
Ju Qing, Dong Xu, and several Giant Devil Elders were also shocked.
Ning Fan's baleful qi did not suppress them. However, just sensing the ferocious might of his baleful qi made them feel suffocated.
Many gazes were fixed on the young man who was slowly walking into the Evening Snow Pavilion. All of them were filled with disbelief.
It's Ning Fan! However, even Dong Xu who had a deep understanding of Ning Fan could not imagine that the current Ning Fan had already become this strong!
Only Xu Qiuling's eyes were still as calm as before. Her clear and cold eyes were staring at Ning Fan. Her smile was like a crescent moon, which was so beautiful that it could move one's soul.
"Big brother, you're back."
Come back … not come …
It was because wherever she was, the edge of the world would be his home. No matter where he goes, it would be his home.
"Ling 'er, I'll take care of this matter. You can rest assured. For your sake, I can guarantee the safety of the Giant Devil today. No one will be able to hurt him … "
Ning Fan nodded at Xu Qiuling with a smile. Then, he left Elder Fu Bai and the two ladies behind and walked towards Shi Kun alone.
Every step he took felt like he was stepping on the Great Dao.
With every step, an even sharper aura would rise and stab towards Shi Kun!
Seeing Ning Fan walking towards him step by step, Shi Kun's face turned as grim as iron. He could already tell that Ning Fan was not a Void Inquiry Stage old monster like he had imagined. Instead, he was just a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert.
Thinking that he was frightened by a Divine Transformation Realm junior, thinking that a Divine Transformation Realm junior dared to ruin his plan, dared to hurt his son, the Imperial Master, Shi Kun's expression became even more gloomy, his killing intent surging.
"Zhou Ming? The newly appointed Revered Elder of the Rain Palace? Hmph! A mere Soul Formation Venerable Elder actually dares to be rude to me, courting death! Do you know that even the Void Refinement Realm palace lord of the Rain Palace has to treat me as an equal? Who do you think you are?! "
Shi Kun was not a member of the Rain Palace. Even though he had heard about Ning Fan's identity as a Revered Elder of the Rain Palace, he did not know how highly regarded Ning Fan was by the Rain Sovereign.
Currently, Shi Kun only wanted to obtain the Void Inquiry Pill. After seeing Ning Fan's true cultivation base, he no longer put him in his eyes.
Ning Fan stopped walking and stared at Shi Kun coldly from a distance of three zhang * (3.33m per zhang).
Shi Kun also released his aura force. After all, he was an old monster who was unrivalled among Void Glimpse Stage experts. When he unleashed his full aura force, he certainly would not lose to Ning Fan.
With a flick of his sleeves, he helped his son up. Looking at the severe injuries of his son whose immortal veins were completely destroyed, Shi Kun's killing intent towards Ning Fan rose to another level.
"Father, kill him. Crush the Giant Devil Clan and avenge me!" His son said viciously.
"Don't worry! Even if I offend the Zhou Clan today and the Rain Palace will punish me severely, I will still annihilate the Giant Devil Clan and avenge you! Stone Killing Technique! "
Shi Kun tossed his half-crippled son to the five imperial advisors. With a wave of his hand, he displayed a teleportation technique and sent the imperial advisors and the others one hundred thousand li * (500m per li) away. Then, he took a step forward. With the immense strength of his golden body, he stomped on the ground.
The force of his stomp turned into an unimaginable destructive storm, directly turning the entire Evening Snow Pavilion into dust.
The destructive force was still spreading. Within one hundred thousand li * (500m per li), countless snowy mountains were destroyed by Shi Kun's stomp.
After that tremendous force spread, countless broken rocks on the ground seemed to be possessed by ghosts. They gathered together and formed several gigantic rock arms. Each of them was one thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall.
Tens of thousands of rock arms stretched out from the ground. They clenched into fists and hurled themselves at Ning Fan and the others.
Each of the gigantic rock fists was powerful enough to kill a Divine Transformation Realm expert!
When tens of thousands of gigantic rock fists attacked at the same time, even a Void Refinement Realm old monster would find it hard to survive!
Such a terrifying magic technique fluctuation caused the land within seventy million li * (500m per li) of the entire Cold Northern Country to tremble slightly as if there was an earthquake.
Countless cultivators soared into the sky and looked in the direction of the province of the Cold Northern Country. How could they not know that there were experts fighting in that direction?
Each of the old monsters used the teleportation formation within the country to rush to the province.
The old monsters who were near the battlefield also turned into rays of travelling light and flew towards the battlefield to find out what was going on.
Many of the old monsters who hurried to the battlefield were shocked and exclaimed in surprise when they saw Shi Kun summoning tens of thousands of rock arms.
"Isn't this man Shi Kun, the king of Shi Le Country? Why did he appear in the Endless Sea?"
"This is the technique that Shi Kun is proud of, the Stone Killing Technique! Shi Kun cultivates the Ghost Stone Divine Veins which allows him to control tens of thousands of rocks with the power of ghosts and gods. In the past, he severely injured an Early Void Refinement Realm expert with just a single move of the Stone Killing Technique … He actually used such a terrifying magic technique in the territory of the Giant Devil Clan. Could it be that he wants to destroy the entire clan?! "
"Shi Kun is an unrivalled expert among the Void Glimpse Stage experts. In the entire Rain World, he is a famous old monster. Why would he come to the Giant Devil Clan to cause trouble? The two of them have nothing to do with each other. There shouldn't be any hatred between them. This doesn't make sense … "
"Say, do you guys think it's because of the Void Inquiry Pill … * Cough * … The Giant Devil Clan does not have a Void Refinement Realm expert but they still held the Pill Ceremony on their own and invited pill refinement grandmasters to help them complete their missions. They even took out a Mid Grade Sixth Revolution Pill as a reward … * Tsk tsk tsk. A Mid Grade Sixth Revolution Void Inquiry Pill. This is something that will drive many Void Glimpse Stage old monsters crazy …"
"Sigh, it doesn't matter why Shi Kun has enmity with the Giant Demon Clan. Since he has made a move, the Giant Demon Clan will definitely be exterminated today. There is no need to watch anymore … This Elixir Ceremony can no longer be held. All of us have come to the Giant Demon Clan to watch the ceremony in vain …"
All the old monsters sighed, but no one thought that the Giant Demon Clan could withstand Shi Kun's anger.
Under Shi Kun's control, tens of thousands of stone arms clenched into fists and smashed down. The tremendous power was enough to flatten mountains and rivers.
Ju Qing, Dong Xu, and all the other Giant Devil Elders knew that this technique was not something they could defend against when they saw how powerful it was.
Xu Qiuling, Yue Lingkong and Fen Chi, on the other hand, were calm and composed. Each of them had endless confidence in Ning Fan. They did not think that Ning Fan would lose to Shi Kun at all.
"Yue 'er, you don't have to do anything this time. Let me do it. All of you, retreat further away … "
Ning Fan pointed a finger at them. Countless traces of black smoke rolled up the people behind him and sent them out of the battlefield.
He raised his head and looked at the innumerable stone fists. His eyes were filled with disdain. He did not try to dodge them and just let them smash down on him.
* Boom * * Boom * * Boom *
Tens of thousands of fist lights engulfed Ning Fan.
The ground cracked. Wind and snow flew everywhere. Smoke and dust engulfed heaven and earth. No one could clearly see whether Ning Fan was dead or alive under the fist lights.
Shi Kun smiled coldly. He could clearly feel that all of the fist lights had hit Ning Fan. In his opinion, Ning Fan was dead for sure.
Each of the old monsters who were watching from the side sighed. Even though they could not see clearly and did not even know who was fighting against Shi Kun, most of them were certain that Ning Fan had died under the fist lights.
The wind and snow dispersed!
The smoke and dust dispersed!
Above the ruins of the mountains and rivers, Ning Fan who was wearing white robes and golden armor slowly appeared.
His black hair danced wildly like a devil. His golden armor shone brilliantly like a heavenly deity. When the tens of thousands of fist lights landed on his golden armor, it only caused faint ripples of lightning light. It could not cause any damage to the golden armor at all.
Shi Kun's expression changed drastically. When he saw the golden armor on Ning Fan's body, he was filled with disbelief!
What kind of golden armor is that? It's not a magic treasure but an illusion formed by a magic technique!
It's just an illusion formed by a magic technique. Yet, it easily blocked my full-powered attack … How is this possible?!
Shi Kun was not a cultivator of the Endless Sea. Thus, he naturally did not know about Ning Fan's crazy battle achievements.
At this moment, he began to realize that he had underestimated Ning Fan. This young man was definitely not as simple as a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator!
Countless old monsters stared at Ning Fan who looked like a heavenly deity clad in golden armor. Each of them did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Only then did they gradually realize that the young man who was fighting against Shi Kun was actually the number one devil lord of the Endless Sea … Ning Fan!
Exclamations rose again. However, this time, not everyone supported Shi Kun's victory.
"It's Venerated Ming! That young man who looks like a heavenly deity clad in golden armor is definitely Venerated Ming. There's no doubt about it! Is Venerated Ming standing up for the Giant Devil Clan?! "
"Venerated Ming's infamy is not any lower than Shi Kun's. Look … Isn't that Venerated Moon standing over there? * Cough * * Cough * … Venerated Ming, Venerated Moon and four Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppets … It seems like Shi Kun will be the unlucky one this time …"
"Venerated Moon doesn't seem to want to make a move, and Venerated Ming doesn't seem to want to summon his puppet either. Do they want to fight with Shi Kun with their own strength? Even though Revered Ming had once killed Lu Jiefen with a single punch, Shi Kun is an unrivalled expert among Void Glimpse Stage experts. He is completely not on the same level as Lu Jiefen … It's hard to predict the outcome of this battle … "
"However, Venerated Ming's golden armor seems a little familiar. This old man seems to have heard of it somewhere before … That's right, this is … this is!"
The devils of the Endless Sea were all shocked, and their eyes were burning.
They remembered what the Golden Armor was!
"This is the Armor of Primordial Lightning! This was the supreme technique that made the Thunder Sovereign famous! It's rumored that the Armor of Primordial Thunder is extremely difficult to cultivate. Other than the Thunder Sovereign, no one in the Zhou Clan is able to cultivate it to the level of Golden Armor or above. To think that Revered Ming has actually done it! "
"For Revered Ming to possess such a technique, it further proves that the Zhou Clan has a close relationship with Revered Ming. We cannot afford to offend him! For him to be able to cultivate this technique to such a level, it shows that his talent is shocking and unparalleled! "
"The Thunder Sovereign's secret technique is actually going to flourish in the hands of Revered Ming!"
As the devils of the Endless Sea, there was no one who did not admire the Thunder Sovereign.
It was a kind of worship that was close to fanaticism. Thunder Sovereign Bu Zhou had fought against the three sovereigns of the Sword World all by himself without being defeated. He had made a name for himself and his name had once spread far and wide in the Rain World.
He was a legendary expert. The fact that the secret technique of such an expert appeared in Ning Fan's body made countless old monsters excited.
At this moment, countless old monsters even wondered if Ning Fan would become the next Thunder Sovereign Bu Zhou after ten thousand years since he was so ferocious!
"We must befriend this young man. We must never offend him. His future is immeasurable!"
With the lightning armor protecting his body, Ning Fan stood firmly under the attacks of the stone fists. He was as steady as a mountain.
Looking at the tens of thousands of stone fists that continued to attack him, Ning Fan's eyes flashed with cold light. Layers of illusory black dragons appeared on his arms. Heaven and earth were filled with the roars of angry dragons!
"Void Technique, Double Dragon!"
When he punched out, the black dragons would fall. When he punched out with both punches, heaven and earth would die!
At the moment when he punched out, Ning Fan's right arm shone with golden light. His strength actually did not lose to the First Level of the Golden Body Realm.
Under the enhancement of the Corpse Devil Body, even though his strength was not as strong as the Second Level of the Golden Body Realm, it was still slightly stronger than Shi Kun who was a senior body cultivator.
* Rumble *
An unparalleled fist light blasted out. Tens of thousands of stone arms were crushed by Ning Fan's fists!
Shi Kun's eyes widened in disbelief.
The countless stone arms that he had formed with his full strength were actually destroyed by Ning Fan with a single punch!
He did not want to admit it but he had no choice but to admit that Ning Fan's body refinement realm was actually slightly higher than his!
"Not good!"
While he was in a daze, Ning Fan's figure flashed and suddenly disappeared. Then, he appeared behind Shi Kun.
A strong sense of danger filled his heart. It made Shi Kun suddenly turn his head and collide with Ning Fan's fist bones.
* Rumble *
Both of their fists collided with each other. Both of them used their full strength!
Ning Fan took a few steps back continuously. He was inwardly surprised. Shi Kun's body refinement realm was not ordinary. Perhaps his strength could be considered as above average among the First Level of the Golden Body Realm.
He only took a few steps back but Shi Kun had taken hundreds of steps back!
Every step he took, he would cough out a mouthful of blood.
Every step he took would shatter countless mountains and rivers!
He had actually suffered serious injuries during the exchange of blows with Ning Fan!
"This … How is this possible?!"
Shi Kun could not imagine that not only was his physical body weaker than Ning Fan's, but it was also not just by a little bit!
He could not understand why Ning Fan's physical body was so strong even though he had not completely broken through to the Golden Body Realm!
(1/3) (To be continued.)
After injuring Shi Kun with a single punch, Ning Fan's long hair fluttered in the wind. He approached Shi Kun in a ray of travelling light and fought against him with the strength of his physical body.
Shi Kun became even more astonished. Every time his punches and kicks collided with Ning Fan, he would feel as if he was hit by a thousand mountains, causing his chest and abdomen to hurt.
He had always been proud of the fact that he was unrivalled among Void Glimpse Stage cultivators in both body and magic power. He was especially proud of the strength of his physical body.
Today, however, his magic power was obviously higher than Ning Fan's but he lost to him in terms of physical strength. How could he remain calm?!
The green stone scales on his body were shattered by Ning Fan one after another. Seeing that the injuries on his physical body were worsening, Shi Kun's eyes turned ruthless. He suddenly threw a punch at Ning Fan, using the force of the collision to increase the distance between them.
He patted his storage pouch and took out a black jade bottle. With a pained expression, he crushed the jade bottle.
There was only a drop of black liquid in the jade bottle. As the jade bottle was crushed, it flowed out. It was as viscous as blood and filled with vast energy. Shi Kun sucked it into his stomach and refined it.
All of a sudden, strange black scales appeared on Shi Kun's physical body. His qi became even more gloomy. However, his physical body was slightly stronger than before. It was now almost on par with Ning Fan's.
Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. He could naturally tell that the black liquid was some kind of secret blood medicine that could increase the strength of one's physical body within a short period of time.
Many old monsters in the surroundings sucked in a cold breath. Obviously, they had recognized the origin of the black liquid.
"The core blood of a sovereign beast! There's no mistake. This is … This is the core blood of a sovereign beast. It's demon blood that is secretly refined from the demon core of a sovereign beast! The energy contained in a drop of the core blood of a sovereign beast is almost equivalent to that of a sovereign beast's demon core! "
"What?! A sovereign beast?! That's a ferocious beast comparable to a Void Fragmentation Realm expert! The energy contained in the core blood of a sovereign beast is violent. Even a Void Refinement Realm old monster would need to use countless spiritual herbs to harmonize the energy in order to refine a drop of the core blood of a sovereign beast. Even if Shi Kun is unrivalled among Void Glimpse Stage experts, it's impossible for him to directly consume the core blood of a sovereign beast! "
"You're right. This isn't the true core blood of a sovereign beast. It has already been diluted. It has probably only been one hundred percent of its energy. That's why Shi Kun could directly consume it."
"Even if it is a diluted Sovereign Beast Core Blood, its value is still immeasurable. I didn't expect Shi Kun to be so fearful of Venerated Ming. They had just exchanged blows for a short while, and he had already started to consume the secret medicine …"
Just like what the old monsters had said, the value of a sovereign beast's core blood was immeasurable. If it wasn't because Ning Fan had pushed him too hard, Shi Kun would certainly not be willing to consume this bottle of diluted core blood.
He had once found the corpse of a Sovereign Beast in some ruins by chance. He dug out a Beast Core from the corpse and used a secret technique to refine a drop of Sovereign Beast Core Blood.
For golden body cultivators, imperial beast core blood was a rare body-tempering treasure.
Shi Kun had kept that drop of Sovereign Beast core blood in his storage pouch all this time, keeping it close to him. He could not bear to give it to anyone.
He was only willing to dilute a bit of Core Blood from the Core Blood and store it in a jade bottle as a secret medicine to temporarily increase his strength at a critical moment.
If it wasn't for the fact that his physical body was weaker than Ning Fan's, he would definitely not be willing to consume this secret medicine.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After consuming the secret medicine, Shi Kun's entire body was covered with black scales. His strength increased tremendously. Both of his fists were wide open, carrying an unparalleled aura force. He actually managed to block Ning Fan's attacks.
As the battle continued, Shi Kun's aura force became stronger and stronger. Even though he had a bad character, his strength was not to be underestimated. He was definitely a famous figure in the Rain World.
"Stone Sword, slash!"
Shi Kun's aura force reached its peak. His eyes flashed with brutal killing intent. He made a grabbing motion with one of his hands. Countless broken stones on the ground suddenly flew up and condensed into a gigantic green stone sword.
That gigantic green stone sword was also condensed by a magic technique. It was a Low Grade Mortal Void Magic Technique.
As soon as the sword light condensed, Shi Kun raised his sword and slashed. A green sword light swept across heaven and earth. The vast sky of tens of thousands of li * (500m per li) was cut into pieces by the sword light, revealing the dark and gloomy hollow space.
That ray of sword light was enough to kill any cultivator below the Void Refinement Realm. Countless cultivators who were watching the battle held their breaths.
However, Ning Fan was not bothered by such a powerful sword light at all.
With the dazzling golden armor protecting his body, Ning Fan was like an ancient deity. He let the sword light slash on his golden armor without dodging at all.
The slash of the sword light gave off a heaven-destroying and earth-shattering sound. The sword qi that leaked out pierced through countless layers of clouds.
However, no matter how sharp the sword light was, it could not leave a single scratch on the golden armor.
Ning Fan remained unscathed after taking on Shi Kun's slash head-on!
The sturdiness of the Primordial Lightning Armor once again shocked the world. Countless old monsters were speculating that perhaps even Void Inquiry Stage old monsters would not be able to break through such a sturdy lightning armor. As long as Ning Fan has the lightning armor, Shi Kun would not be able to hurt him at all.
In this battle, Ning Fan was already in an invincible position!
Shi Kun fell into deep astonishment. He could not believe that he, a dignified old monster who was unrivalled among Void Glimpse Stage experts, could not hurt a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm junior. How could this be possible?!
"Art of Self Manifestation!"
Ning Fan took a step forward. Golden light shone around his body and condensed into two golden shadows.
The two golden shadows were both at the First Level of the Golden Body Refining Realm. One man and two shadows surrounded Shi Kun in an instant and launched their strongest attacks without mercy.
Patches of the vast sky were shattered by the two shadows. Shi Kun who was at the center of the attacks managed to block Ning Fan's attacks with his gigantic bluestone sword. However, his body was continuously hit by the two golden shadows, causing his injuries to gradually worsen.
What kind of identity did he have? He was a dignified Void Refinement Realm old monster who could move unhindered in the Rain World and the lord of a Void Grade Cultivation Country. However, he was actually beaten to such a sorry state by a junior. How could he tolerate that?!
"Zhou Ming, don't you go too far! The matter between me and the Giant Devil Clan has nothing to do with you at all. Why do you have to interfere?! I won't accept this! "
* Chi *
Shi Kun coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood essence. His gigantic bluestone sword gave off an extremely dangerous and ferocious light. With a horizontal slash, the sky was cut into pieces and the earth was split into two!
That was Shi Kun's furious attack. With his strength that was unrivalled among Void Glimpse Stage experts, it was already infinitely close to a Void Pierce Stage attack!
Such a powerful slash still could not break the lightning armor's defense. Ning Fan remained unscathed.
The two golden shadows, on the other hand, had one of their arms and one of their legs severed by Shi Kun's furious slash. Both of them were already severely injured.
Shi Kun laughed complacently. His eyes were filled with madness and ferocity.
Each of these golden shadows was at the First Level of the Golden Body Refining Realm. They had the strength of an ordinary Void Refinement Realm expert. But so what?
Under Shi Kun's furious attack, even the golden shadows could only sustain severe injuries.
Each of the old monsters who were watching the scene felt their hearts palpitate. The destructive power of that furious slash was enough to severely injure or even kill an ordinary Void Glimpse Stage expert!
Shi Kun's strength was indeed worthy of his reputation. The title of being unrivalled among Void Glimpse Stage experts was definitely not groundless!
Ning Fan's eyes turned slightly solemn. This Shi Kun was indeed very strong. If it was before he entered the Black Lightning Tower, he would certainly not be his opponent.
However, after experiencing the trials in the Black Lightning Tower, Ning Fan's combat power had skyrocketed even though his cultivation base did not improve. Both his offensive and defensive techniques had improved tremendously. People like Shi Kun were no longer worthy of his attention.
In his devil form, Ning Fan could kill a Void Inquiry Stage expert!
Facing Shi Kun, Ning Fan did not even need to transform into his devil form. He was very confident that he could kill Shi Kun on the spot!
"You've gone too far! Zhou Ming! You're just a revered elder of the Rain Palace. How dare you offend me? You deserve to die! "Shi Kun raised his sword and thrust it at Ning Fan. He did not believe that he could not break the defense of Ning Fan's lightning armor.
"So what if I've bullied you?!"
Ning Fan's black hair danced wildly in the air. His eyes flashed with a cold light. His right palm shone with thousands of rays of golden light and he slammed his palm on Shi Kun's gigantic green stone sword.
The force of that single slap was earth-shattering. Countless hollow spaces were forcefully shattered.
When Shi Kun's sword was suddenly slapped by Ning Fan, he only felt an unparalleled force colliding with his sword. His gigantic sword immediately shattered!
At the same time, the injuries of the two severely injured golden shadows behind him strangely healed in an instant. Then, they launched heavy attacks at Shi Kun's back.
* Boom * * Boom *
Two rays of fist light landed on Shi Kun's back, shattering the black scale armor on his back. He fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string. He stared at the two golden shadows with extreme shock and anger. His face was filled with disbelief.
"How could this be?! I've clearly severely injured your two golden shadows. Why can these two golden shadows recover in an instant?! "
Shi Kun had no idea that these golden shadows were the product of the Self Manifestation Technique. Unless they were killed in a single blow, they could instantly recover no matter how severe their injuries were.
With a loud bang, he crashed into the ground. His body created a gigantic pit that was several thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) in size.
When he crawled up from the pit, he was severely injured but he was still alive. He was indeed worthy of his strength that was unrivalled among Void Glimpse Stage experts.
He raised his head and looked at Ning Fan. His eyes were filled with madness.
A terrifying aura force spread out from his body. He had decided to use his strongest trump card to determine the victor of this battle!
All the rocks on the ground beneath his feet began to move. It was extremely strange.
Shi Kun's body emitted waves of evil ghostly light. His body began to grow in size in an instant.
"Dao of Ghost Stone, Stone God True Body!"
In just a few breaths' time, Shi Kun's body grew to five thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall, turning into a green stone giant.
He held an ancient green stone shield in his left hand and a gigantic green stone sword in his right. He let out a furious roar like an ancient god.
At this moment, Shi Kun's combat power was already infinitely close to the Void Inquiry Stage!
"This is … This is … the 'Fiendgod True Body' …" Each of the old monsters who were watching the battle was so shocked that they could not utter a single word.
Some of them did not know the method of Shi Kun's magic technique. Thus, they chose to remain silent.
Some of them recognized the essence of this magic technique. It was too shocking and they could not believe it.
Many fiendgod cultivation methods had secret techniques that allowed one to transform into a giant. However, there were also different levels of them.
An ordinary giant transformation could only be called the 'Giant Body'. Even though their physical bodies were strong, they could not display the abilities of the ancient fiendgods.
However, if one could cultivate the Giant Body to the extreme, they could cultivate the 'True Body' and possess the abilities of the ancient fiendgods. They could even have the chance to imitate the ancient divine weapons of the ancient fiendgods!
Shi Kun's son who was almost killed by Ning Fan looked at his father who had turned into a giant with a face full of pride and admiration.
"Imperial Advisor, you guys look! This is my father's strongest trump card, the 'Stone God True Body'! The cultivation method that my father cultivates is a fiendgod cultivation method called 'Ghost Stone Divine Technique'. It is rumored to be a cultivation method left behind by a revered god of the ancient stone clan. Not only did my father cultivate the Stone God True Body, but he also imitated the ancient divine weapons of that revered god! Look, the stone sword and stone shield that my father is holding are the divine weapons of that revered god! With these divine weapons in hand, no matter how strong that Zhou Ming is, he will not be a match for my father! "
Shi Kun's son did not conceal his voice at all. Those who were paying attention could hear him. Looking at Shi Kun who had turned into a giant, they became even more fearful.
From afar, an elderly man in golden robes and five pill masters were standing in the sky, watching the battle.
The five pill masters were the pill masters of the Scarlet Heaven Palace who were severely injured by Ning Fan.
As for the elderly man in golden robes, he was the palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace, Mo Xiu!
Mo Xiu's eyes swept across the battlefield. When he passed by Ning Fan, a hint of anger flashed across his eyes. However, due to the Rain Sovereign's order, he suppressed his anger.
His eyes swept across the giant Shi Kun and for the first time, his expression turned solemn.
"The Fiendgod True Body, huh … Humph. This Shi Kun is really impressive. He has actually cultivated the Fiendgod True Body and even imitated two ancient divine weapons. Even this old man would need to spend some effort to defeat Shi Kun. There's no need to watch anymore. Unless that Zhou Ming has a Void Inquiry Stage cultivation base, he will definitely die today. "
Yue Lingkong was anxious. She did not expect that Shi Kun had cultivated the Fiendgod True Body. Little Cucumber was really in danger now. She wanted to save him.
Even Xu Qiuling who was usually calm revealed a worried expression. She felt uneasy.
Fen Chi was also worried about Ning Fan. It was not easy for her to fall in love with a man. How could she bear to see him in danger?
However, no matter how worried the three ladies were, none of them intervened in Ning Fan's battle.
That was the battlefield that belonged to Ning Fan. What they should do now was to trust Ning Fan.
They believed that he would win. They believed that he would not lose.
If you are like an eagle, I will accompany you to conquer the world! If you are defeated, I will accompany you to make a comeback!
Shi Kun raised his head and laughed coldly. His voice was like thunder.
"Zhou Ming! Ever since I condensed the Stone God True Body, this is my second time displaying it. For the first time, I used this true body to kill the strongest bandit cultivator in Shi Le Country … "
His laughter did not stop. Many old monsters were extremely shocked.
Shi Le Country was once a country where bandits roamed freely. The strongest bandit leader was a Void Inquiry Stage old monster. That bandit leader's Void Inquiry Stage cultivation base had advanced to the next level using a secret technique. His cultivation base was superficial and he could be considered as the weakest among all Void Inquiry Stage experts.
Even so, the weakest Void Inquiry Stage expert was still several times stronger than a Void Glimpse Stage expert.
However, that bandit leader suddenly went missing and Shi Le Country was also wiped out by Shi Kun alone. He killed countless bandits and took over the country.
No one knew that the bandit leader was killed by Shi Kun.
The reason why Shi Kun told everyone about this today was to let them know that he was so strong that he could even kill a Void Inquiry Stage expert, let alone a mere Ning Fan!
"The shield I hold in my left hand is called the Eight Chi Shield. It can deflect all Void Glimpse Stage magic attacks!"
"The sword I hold in my right hand is called the Ten Fist Sword. A single sword can deliver the strength of ten Void Glimpse Stage punches, which is comparable to a Void Inquiry Stage attack!"
"Zhou Ming, since you are able to die under the sword and shield of my fiendgod true body, you should die without regrets!"
Shi Kun's laughter was unbridled as if he was confident that he could kill Ning Fan.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with impatience. He was fed up with it. The game ends here.
He clawed with his five fingers and absorbed all the souls of the earth. His magic power was comparable to a Void Refinement Realm expert.
He coughed out a mouthful of blood essence and suddenly summoned the seven Yellow Dragon Jade Tokens. Seven layers of yellow skies appeared with great momentum.
Each of the seven layers of yellow skies was powerful enough to injure a Void Inquiry Stage expert and was comparable to a Void Inquiry Stage attack!
The combined power of the seven layers of yellow skies was comparable to a Void Pierce Stage attack. It was enough to severely injure a Void Inquiry Stage expert and kill all Void Glimpse Stage experts!
"W-What kind of magic treasure is this? It's impossible! You are just a Divine Transformation Realm junior. How can you have such a magic treasure? How can you activate a magic treasure of this level?! "
All of Shi Kun's complacency turned into panic at this moment.
His Eight Chi Shield could deflect all Void Glimpse Stage attacks. However, each layer of Ning Fan's Yellow Skies had the destructive power of a Void Inquiry Stage expert. The combined power of the seven heavens was comparable to a Void Pierce Stage attack. How could it be deflected?!
"This is bad. We must run!"
The moment Ning Fan activated the Yellow Dragon Seven Tokens, all of his arrogance turned into a sense of defeat.
Each of the old monsters was shocked once again. Ning Fan actually had such a powerful technique. This kind of magic treasure was enough to make Void Inquiry Stage old monsters fearful!
As long as he has this treasure in his hands, which Void Inquiry Stage old monster would dare to provoke him?!
"Suppress!"
Ning Fan pointed a finger at the sky. The seven layers of yellow skies fell down as if the sky was collapsing. That was the true might of the heavens.
The weight of the seven layers of yellow skies was immeasurable. The tremendous force of the impact flattened countless mountains and rivers.
Shi Kun waved his gigantic green stone sword and attacked desperately. Finally, he destroyed one layer of yellow skies but it was suppressed by the other six layers of yellow skies.
In just an instant, all of Shi Kun's muscles and bones were crushed by the yellow skies. He let out a blood-curdling scream and his giant body was crushed into a pile of meat paste. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
When the smoke and dust dispersed, the battlefield gradually quietened down. Shi Kun had already left his true form and was lying on the ground like a pile of mud. He did not have the strength to move at all but he was still breathing.
As for Ning Fan, he stood indifferently in front of Shi Kun and said coldly.
"I've told you that you can't afford to offend me. You just don't believe me."
"* Cough * Cough * … Zhou Ming … Revered Elder Zhou, it's not appropriate for you to kill me. You can't … I'm … the lord of Shi Le Country … I'm … the lord of the Rain Palace … Killing me … is against the law of the World …"
"You even know about the Rain Palace and the law of the World? You are the lord of a country conferred by the Rain Palace while I am a revered elder conferred by the Rain Sovereign. You were the one who wanted to kill me first. The one who violated the law of the World is you. Even if you are the lord of a country, you should still be killed for trying to murder a revered elder of the Rain Palace! "
* Boom *
Ning Fan took a step forward and crushed Shi Kun's head, causing his physical body to die instantly.
At the same time, he pointed a finger at Shi Kun's dantian and struck his primordial spirit which was trying to escape in a panic.
The tiny primordial spirit let out a miserable shriek and died with reluctance.
Ning Fan had killed the lord of Shi Le Country – Shi Kun!
Not only did he kill him, but before he died, he even accused him of plotting against a revered elder of the Rain Palace and violating the law of the World. Thus, no one could hold him accountable for this matter!
With a wave of his hand, Ning Fan kept Shi Kun's storage pouch and scanned it with his spirit sense. There were a lot of good items inside. What made him especially satisfied was the jade bottle which sealed the core blood of a sovereign beast.
The spoils of war were very generous.
* Hiss *
At the moment when Ning Fan killed Shi Kun, countless old monsters were overwhelmed with shock!
What did they just see?!
They actually witnessed the death of a Void Refinement Realm old monster with their own eyes!
Moreover, that Void Refinement Realm old monster was the lord of Shi Le Country. He was a ruthless person who had killed a Void Inquiry Stage expert before. He was an unrivalled existence among Void Glimpse Stage experts!
He died just like that!
Since Ning Fan was able to kill Shi Kun, his strength was unfathomable!
All of a sudden, countless old monsters who were watching from the sidelines fell silent. Their eyes were filled with fear and trepidation when they looked at Ning Fan.
Unlike these old monsters, many cultivators of the Giant Devil Clan who rushed to the scene learned about the cause and effect of Ning Fan killing Shi Kun. Knowing that Ning Fan had saved the Giant Devil Clan from being annihilated, each of them felt grateful from the bottom of their hearts.
"Venerated Ming is mighty!"
Their cheers resounded through the clouds and spread further and further. Eventually, it spread to the entire Cold Northern Country!
(2/3) (To be continued.)
Each of the cultivators rushed to the county and saw the shocking ruins of the battlefield.
Within one hundred thousand li * (500m per li), all the mountains and rivers were in ruins. It looked extremely desolate under the white snow. No one would have thought that this place used to be an important place of the Giant Devil Clan – the Evening Snow Pavilion.
They did not have the chance to witness the earth-shattering battle between Ning Fan and Shi Kun. The only thing they could feel was the residual magic power in this place.
It was an unprecedented battle. In this battle, Ning Fan had killed an unrivalled Void Glimpse Stage old monster in a domineering manner.
Moreover, this old monster was the lord of a Void Grade Cultivation Country with a respectable status.
However, no one could say that Ning Fan was wrong to kill him. This time, Ning Fan stood on the side of morality and justice by using his identity as a revered elder of the Rain Palace.
Shi Kun was wrong to murder the Giant Devil Clan but his crime did not warrant death.
Shi Kun had the intention to kill Ning Fan but it was a huge mistake. He would die in vain even if he died ten thousand times.
Who was Ning Fan? He was someone whom the Rain Sovereign personally ordered not to be touched. Even Prince Lan Ling and the palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace did not dare to touch him. Who did Shi Kun think he was? How dare he touch Ning Fan?
Putting aside the fact that the Endless Sea was not restricted by the laws of the World, even if someone wants to pursue the matter, it would be because Shi Kun violated the laws of the World and attacked a revered elder of the Rain Palace. He deserved to die. No one could find any fault with Ning Fan.
Moreover, if the Rain Palace finds out about this, they would suppress Shi Kun's descendants and hold him accountable for offending Ning Fan.
For example, the palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace, Mo Xiu, who was at the scene that day, publicly declared that Ning Fan was not guilty of killing Shi Kun!
Everyone knew that the Scarlet Heaven Palace and the Great Heaven Palace were on bad terms after the Rain Palace.
Since they were from different factions, it was impossible for Mo Xiu to speak up for Ning Fan. However, he still did so. What did it mean?
It meant that Ning Fan's identity in the Rain Palace was definitely not ordinary. Mo Xiu, who was from different factions, did not dare to provoke him!
Shi Kun was dead and no one cared about him. Even though he deserved to die, it still made many old monsters feel miserable.
No matter how peerless one was and how strong one's cultivation base was, once one makes a wrong step on the path of cultivation, it would result in death and the annihilation of one clan.
Shi Kun had fallen. However, Ning Fan's infamy had spread throughout the Internal Endless Sea, the External Endless Sea, even the eight hundred cultivation countries and the entire Rain World!
Many old monsters claimed that 'Zhou Ming' was the number one of the young generation in the Rain World!
Well, Ning Fan had once again spread the name of the little rascal Zhou Ming who died a wrongful death. If the real Zhou Ming knew about this, he might wake up laughing.
After the great battle, Ning Fan did not rest. Instead, he followed Ju Qing and the others to another forbidden area of the Giant Devil Clan.
During the battle, he remained unscathed thanks to the protection of the lightning armor. However, at the very last moment, he sacrificed his own blood essence to forcefully activate the Mid Grade Mortal Void Yellow Dragon Seven Tokens to suppress Shi Kun.
This injury of blood essence might be troublesome to ordinary people. However, to Ning Fan who had the protection of the black stars which allowed him to heal himself under the starlight at all times, it was not worth mentioning at all.
Giant Demon Clan, Sad Demon Palace.
Ning Fan, Xu Qiuling, Yue Lingkong and Fen Chi sat on the guest seats. Many elders of the Giant Devil Clan surrounded them. All of them were standing and thanking Ning Fan profusely.
These elders of the Giant Devil Clan were grateful to Ning Fan from the bottom of their hearts. If it wasn't for Ning Fan, the Giant Devil Clan would certainly be in danger.
Fortunately, Ning Fan acted in a domineering manner and killed Shi Kun. Not only did he keep the Void Inquiry Pill, but he also intimidated many old monsters who were coveting the Void Inquiry Pill.
Shi Kun was the first old monster who took action against the Void Inquiry Pill. However, he certainly would not be the last one.
In fact, there were still a few Void Glimpse Stage old monsters who came from the eight hundred cultivation countries with the intention of seizing the Void Inquiry Pill of the Giant Devil Clan.
However, with Shi Kun as an example, probably no Void Glimpse Stage old monster would dare to offend the Giant Devil Clan anymore.
The increase in Ning Fan's ferocious aura this time was also a good thing to the Six-Winged Clan. It would be a greater deterrent to the Ghost Eye Clan and the Mist Horn Clan.
Everyone had witnessed the destructive power of the Yellow Dragon Seven Tokens. It could even severely injure a Void Inquiry Stage expert.
The strongest expert of the Mist Horn Clan was just a Void Inquiry Stage expert. The Ghost Eye Clan was stronger than the Mist Horn Clan but they no longer dared to offend Ning Fan openly.
Ning Fan had shown countless old monsters how domineering and arrogant he was. He even dared to kill the lord of a country that was conferred by the Rain Palace without hesitation.
The reason why he did so openly was to let those who had ulterior motives understand how important he was to the Rain Palace and how they could not afford to offend him.
He wanted to let everyone know that he had the support of the Rain Sovereign and that he was not even guilty of killing a monarch. He wanted to let everyone know that he had the Rain Sovereign's support and that he was extremely important to the Rain Palace.
He wanted to let people know that others could not touch him, but he could kill them. So, don't provoke him, or else you will have to bear the consequences.
He was borrowing the momentum of the Rain Palace.
Ning Fan did not like trouble that came one after another. Thus, he chose to be more forceful and settle the matter once and for all.
In the Sad Devil Palace, Ning Fan searched the souls and memories of Shi Kun's son and the five imperial advisors in front of Ju Qing and the others. After that, he killed all six of them, eliminating them completely.
From the memories of Shi Kun's son, Ning Fan learned about all of Shi Kun's conspiracies and informed the Giant Devil Clan about it.
Shi Kun's purpose of coming to the Giant Devil Clan was indeed for the Void Inquiry Pill.
However, not only did he want to obtain the Void Inquiry Pill, he even had a bold plan in mind and that was to kidnap Feng Xueyan!
Shi Kun's plan was to order his son to approach Feng Xueyan and secretly kidnap her on the day before the ceremony. Then, he blackmailed the Giant Devil Clan with the excuse that Feng Xueyan refused to have her tattoos tattooed on her.
In this way, Shi Kun would not only get the Void Inquiry Pill but also Feng Xueyan who was a renowned tattoo master.
Unfortunately, as soon as Shi Kun's son broke into Feng Xueyan's room, he was discovered by the maidservants. With a * Swoosh * sound, Feng Xueyan disappeared right in front of his eyes. It was extremely strange.
Feng Xueyan's tattoo technique had definitely reached the level of the best in the Rain World.
Any body refinement cultivator whose devil marks were tattooed by Feng Xueyan could greatly improve their body refinement realm.
Shi Kun was quite ambitious. He wanted to break through to the Void Inquiry Stage using the Void Inquiry Pill and use Feng Xueyan to create an army of body refinement cultivators.
If it wasn't for Ning Fan's interference, his scheme might have really succeeded.
After learning about all of Shi Kun's conspiracies, Ju Qing was enraged.
His Giant Devil Clan had always kept a low profile just to fulfill the wishes of their eight ancestors. However, the result of keeping a low profile was that they made others think that they were weak and easy to bully!
Ju Qing really wished that he could announce the strength of the Giant Devil Clan to the world. He wanted the world to know that the strongest clan among the Four Clans of the Hidden Ocean was not the Ghost Eye Clan but the Giant Devil Clan!
Unfortunately, he could not do that. All he could do was to endure it. All of his endurance was just for the sake of completing the redemption of his ancestors.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, in the past, Little Shanzi strongly recommended you and praised you to the skies. At that time, I didn't believe him. Now that I've seen you with my own eyes, I finally know that Little Shanzi has a good eye. Very good! Qiuling has found a good partner! For her sake, you were willing to take care of the mess of my Giant Devil Clan and even killed the king of a country. My Giant Devil Clan owes you a favor. If Fellow Daoist is in trouble, the Giant Devil Clan is willing to repay Fellow Daoist with all our strength! "
Ju Qing cupped his fists solemnly. His heart was filled with gratitude towards Ning Fan.
Ning Fan nodded his head and cupped his fists to return the gesture. Compared to the Six-Winged Clan which valued profits, the Giant Devil Clan was obviously much more sentimental.
At least, Ning Fan believed that the Giant Devil Clan would not do something like selling their daughter for the sake of their clan's survival. However, the Six-Winged Clan did it.
The members of the Giant Devil Clan still had their backs straight. They were righteous devil cultivators.
He secretly glanced at the three ladies. Among them, Fen Chi was sitting quietly by herself, sipping tea.
As for Xu Qiuling, she was taking the initiative to talk to Yue Lingkong using telepathy. Ning Fan did not know what they were talking about.
The atmosphere between the two ladies was a little strange. They were not too intimate but it was not to the extent of fighting for Fen Chi's favor either.
What Xu Qiuling asked Yue Lingkong was whether he had been well ever since they parted ways and whether he had put himself in danger.
What ordinary people saw was Ning Fan's strength skyrocketing again and again.
What Xu Qiuling felt distressed about was the effort and danger that Ning Fan had put in for her.
She understood him. She knew that every bit of strength he had gained was obtained by risking his life.
She knew that he had never cultivated with a calm mind. The reason why he kept killing and plundering was just to have a meager amount of strength to protect the people behind him.
"You're very special. Aren't you jealous of me being so intimate with Little Cucumber? To be honest, when I saw him fighting for you, I felt a little jealous too. I really wanted to give him a kick and make him beg for mercy. "Yue Lingkong was very tough. She dared to speak her mind directly.
"Jealous? Elder Sister Yue, do you know … I just hope that he can be safe and live on. I hope that he can live until the era where he doesn't need to kill and until the day when he stands aloof from worldly affairs … At that time, I might have the mood to be jealous of him. But now … "
Xu Qiuling paused for a moment and said with a faint smile. "Now, I only hope that I can continue living together with him … Living is very difficult. Being able to live in this world is already a kind of extravagant happiness. Because you don't know when you will suddenly die … My promise is the promise of life and death …"
"My encounter with him is just like your encounter with him. We have become each other's scenery … However, there is no eternal scenery in this world … Perhaps one day, I will die under the heavenly tribulation. Perhaps one day, he will die under the siege of his enemies … We who are in a precarious situation don't have the right to be jealous at all … We don't have the leisure to talk about love nor do we have the time to rest and sleep peacefully. We can only continue to walk on … Live to the fullest and die without regrets …"
Xu Qiuling's words made Yue Lingkong fall into silence.
Live to the fullest and die without regrets … That's right. I don't even know when Little Cucumber will die. Why should I be jealous of him …
However, whenever I think of Little Cucumber's death, my heart would ache.
Why does this stinky cucumber risk his life so much? Why does he run to places where there is danger? Isn't he afraid of death?!
Yue Lingkong suddenly felt a hint of pity for Ning Fan.
She realized that she had never truly understood Little Cucumber's heart. She did not even know why he would risk his life so much.
"Little Cucumber, don't risk your life in the future. You are not allowed to die! Hide behind me. I will protect you! " Yue Lingkong suddenly spoke in a domineering manner. It was as if she was confessing her love to Ning Fan. Her words stunned all the cultivators of the Giant Devil Clan at the scene.
"… I won't die …" Ning Fan did not know whether to laugh or cry. Why did this Yue Lingkong suddenly show her maternal instincts and protect him like this?
He looked at Xu Qiuling as if he wanted to find out what Xu Qiuling and Yue Lingkong had said.
Xu Qiuling blinked her eyes and smiled faintly. Her bright eyes, however, contained a hint of slyness. What she meant was: Why should we tell you what we are talking about?
Ning Fan could not help but laugh and shake his head. He did not use the Mind Reading Technique to find out what the two of them were thinking. That would be a kind of blasphemy to them.
However, he believed that Xu Qiuling would not be jealous of Yue Lingkong … At least, it was not now.
Being affectionate is also a kind of trouble …
Ning Fan rubbed his forehead and suddenly asked Ju Qing.
"Clan Leader Ju Qing, the matter regarding Shi Kun has finally been resolved. However, your daughter is still 'missing'. Is there really no need to look for her?"
"That little girl. If she wants to hide, no one can find her. When she is hungry, she will go home to eat …" Ju Qing laughed as if he knew his daughter very well.
His daughter was only at the Tenth Level Vein Opening Realm and her body was weak. She could not really abstain from eating. If she has no food to eat, she will go home.
"Big Brother, why don't you go and look for Little Sister Xueyan? Her body is weak. Don't let her starve …" Xu Qiuling suddenly pleaded. Her eyes were filled with worry. She was really worried about that little sister of hers.
"I'll go? Are you so sure that I can find her? I can't even find the members of the Giant Devil Clan … Fine. I'll go! "
Ning Fan wanted to shake his head. However, when he saw Xu Qiuling's pleading eyes, his heart softened.
Alright, I'll go and find that little girl as soon as possible and bring her home to feed her so that Xu Qiuling won't be worried.
"Clan Leader Ju Qing, please give me a personal item of Eldest Mistress. I can use her qi to search for her."
"It's useless. Once that little girl turns invisible, her qi will completely disappear. There's no way to find her …" Even though Ju Qing said that, he also hoped that Ning Fan would give it a try and find Feng Xueyan as soon as possible.
After thinking for a while, he ordered a maidservant to bring him a small and soft shoe and gave it to Ning Fan.
This small shoe was lost in Feng Xueyan's room the other day when she turned invisible and fled.
The current Feng Xueyan would definitely be barefooted no matter where she fled to in the Cold Northern Country.
If Ning Fan finds her, he could just give her the shoe.
"…"
Ning Fan instantly felt speechless. He, the dignified Great Devil Lord Ning, actually wanted to give a little girl a shoe. If word of this spreads out, probably no one would believe that he would do such a thing.
The small shoe emitted an extremely faint fragrance of a woman.
That faint fragrance was extremely ethereal. After it entered Ning Fan's nose, it suddenly disappeared.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with surprise. He tried to recall the smell but he could not recall anything.
The smell seemed to have been erased by something …
This scene seemed to be familiar to him. It was like the words on a piece of white paper that had been erased by the power of samsara.
"The reason why Feng Xueyan can turn invisible in such a strange manner seems to be related to the power of samsara …"
Ning Fan closed his eyes and activated the power of his memory intent realm. He borrowed a trace of samsara power and sensed Feng Xueyan's qi again.
After that, he found a trace of qi. He suddenly took a step forward and dashed towards a certain direction as if he had found a clue.
When the group of experts of the Giant Devil Clan saw Ning Fan's expression, they were inwardly shocked.
They thought to themselves: Could it be that Ning Fan is really resourceful and has found the whereabouts of our mistress? None of them could find her but Ning Fan did. He is indeed powerful!
Ning Fan flew all the way and moved like a wisp of smoke.
He followed the trace of qi and flew one million li * (500m per li) away from the province. Then, he suddenly stopped in a desolate snowy forest.
This was the end of the qi!
Traces of his memory power spread out. Suddenly, tiny footprints that should have disappeared appeared on the snowy ground in the surroundings.
The left foot was the footprint of a woman's embroidered shoe while the right foot was the footprint of a bare man.
Following the footprints, Ning Fan walked into the depths of the snowy forest. At the end of the forest, there was a small snowman.
It was obviously just an ordinary snowman with a nose made of ginseng and eyes made of stones.
However, when Ning Fan arrived, the small snowman's eyes which were made of stones suddenly revealed a panic-stricken expression. It turned out that it was actually alive.
* Whoosh *
The small snowman suddenly stood up. With a gentle step, it moved like smoke and disappeared without a trace!
The body of the snowman gave off traces of cold wind and snow. All the qi and footprints that were left in this place were all erased.
"Interesting. You're just at the Tenth Level of the Vein Opening Realm but you know the teleportation technique and even know how to use a trace of 'fake samsara power' … No wonder you can run one million li * (500m per li) away from the province … Are you trying to play hide-and-seek with me …?"
A mere snowman was still too young to play hide-and-seek with Ning Fan.
