Chapter 508: Striking Awe Into One Hundred Sects (2)

“Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent!”

Countless old monsters suddenly rose to their feet from their seats in all the directions of the jade platform. All of them looked at Venerated Sword who was standing on the center of the platform in disbelief!

In the Ancient Heavenly Court, there were four greatest ancient swords and Immortal Entrapping Sword was one of them.

From ancient times, all of those who could fully comprehend the sword intent of the four great ancient swords were terrifying sword cultivators who were unmatched among other experts on the same level as them.

Since Venerated Sword was a Half Step Void Refinement Realm expert who had a remarkable strength, he would probably have no rivals among cultivators below the Void Refinement Realm if he masters the complete Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent!

However, those old monsters could not see that Venerated Sword only had a trace of Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent in his sword intent and he did not truly comprehend it.

As for the Divine Transformation Realm expert from the Hundred Swords Sect who was knocked down from the jade platform, his expression immediately turned pale after recognizing the Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent. He hurriedly rose from the ground and returned to the seating of his sect. How would he still have the guts to challenge Venerated Sword?

From his perspective, even though Venerated Sword was not a Void Refinement Realm expert, how would he a lowly Early Divine Transformation Realm junior be able to withstand him since he had comprehended the Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent…

“Anyone who wishes to lay a finger on the people of the Giant Devil Clan, fight me first!”

Venerated Sword suddenly drew out his sword and stood at the center of the platform on his own.

He held an ancient sword in his hand which had the patterns like a pine wood while carrying a massive sword scabbard on his back. As the wind blew, his long white beard fluttered gently. The sword qi around his body was tremendous like a dragon, making him as imposing as a celestial being!

The countless seats that were built around the jade platform were occupied by hundreds of thousands of cultivators who came from one hundred plus first-class sects of Rain World.

Despite the massive crowd of people gathering at this place, no one dared to go up to the platform and challenge Venerated Sword at this moment.

Those cultivators who were at the Divine Transformation Realm or lower were afraid of Venerated Sword.

As for most of the Void Refinement Realm old monsters, they did not ascend the platform to fight Venerated Sword to maintain their self-image. They did not want to be given the bad reputation of being a big bully.

After all, Venerated Sword was just at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm which still made him a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator. Therefore, each of those Void Refinement Realm old monsters who cared more about their reputation was not going to bully a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator.

“*Sigh* Old Man Sword, you really…” Dong Xu sighed with emotions while Ju Qing’s face was filled with embarrassment.

Ju Qing did not have a good relationship with Venerated Sword. Moreover, the two of them even held grudges against each other in the past.

However, when the Giant Devil Clan was in trouble, Venerated Sword stood up for them thinking that both of them were the venerated seven forces of the internal sea. The virtue and the breadth of mind he displayed really moved Ju Qing.

“Venerated Sword’s sword intent indeed contains a trace of Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent. However, it’s just a trace and that’s it. Humph! A mere trace of the Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent is nothing of importance! According to hearsay, the Sword Island used to have a broken fragment of the Immortal Entrapping Sword. However, the White-Robed Sword God has already taken away that fragment at some point of time… I didn’t believe it at first. Now, however, it seems like the rumors were true.”

On the main seating, the sect master of the Ice Mountain Sword Sect, Marquis Shen Jian let out a cold harrumph. He did not spare a glance at Venerated Sword, thinking that the latter was unworthy of his consideration. However, he was also mindful of his own reputation and chose not to fight him.

However, Marquis Shen Jian’s voice openly spread across the area.

Many Divine Transformation Realm old monster immediately heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that Venerated Sword’s Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent was not the complete version.

If what Venerated Sword had learned was just a trace of the Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent, there might not necessarily be no one among the Divine Transformation Realm in the audience seats who could win against him.

“So you are Venerated Sword of the Sword Island, huh? Then, let this old man have a taste of your remarkable moves!”

An old man who wore a green sword robe who held a green crystal-like flying sword suddenly flew to the jade platform and challenged Venerated Sword.

This man was the sect master of the Hundred Swords Sect. He was also a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm sword cultivator.

“The sect master of Hundred Swords Sect – Zhao Jie… Humph! You aren’t my match!!”

*Chi*

Venerated Sword waved his word abruptly. His ancient sword emitted a sharp ear shrill, changing the color of the sky and clouds ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) above the jade platform. All of a sudden, dark green sword rays shot out from his sword, scattering into millions of rays of sword light which covered the air like rain droplets!

*Sword Rain Style!”

Zhao Jie’s expression changed drastically. The sword technique which Venerated Sword displayed carried the destructive power which was extremely close to the Void Glimpse Stage!

Even though he knew that Venerated Sword was someone he must not underestimate, he did not expect him to be so strong. His power was nearly at the unrivalled level among cultivators below the Void Refinement Realm.

In panic, Zhao Jie wielded his green crystal sword wildly to display the strongest sword technique of his Hundred Swords Sect – One Hundred Sword Style.

In just an instant, he produced tens of thousands of sword rays. However, all of them were unable to rival Venerated Sword’s sword rain as they were destroyed one after another.

Zhao Jie’s face was filled with disbelief. He hurriedly retreated from the platform but it was already too late because he was heavily surrounded by the sword rain.

A painful wail reverberated across the arena. The sword rain pierced through Zhao Jie’s body, forming tens of tiny bloody holes on him. He was then sent away from the jade platform while spraying out blood from his mouth.

He was not dead yet but he was already grievously injured. Clearly he had lost Venerated Sword!

“Venerated Sword of Sword Island won.” The Void Glimpse Stage elderly man who was hosting the fight announced. This man was the sect master of the Six Flames Sect and his name was Yan Xiao.

“Venerated Sword is mighty!” On the low-class seating, many sword cultivators from the Sword Island cheered with their arms raised in the air.

“Who else wants to fight me?!” Venerated Sword’s angry eyes scanned past the groups of experts and cultivators on the audience seating.

“Venerated Sword has an excellent technique. My name is Yan Hui and I am the sect master of the Flying Swallow Sect. Now, let me try taking your remarkable moves!”

At the next moment, an old man with short stature jumped up to the jade platform with a sword on his back. He was the person who made the provocative remark among the crowd just now. His presence emanated the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm aura force.

Even though this old man was small and short, his actions were extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, he drew out his sword and raised it to the sky. The sword light produced the vague shadow of a flying swallow. The technique he was using was actually a flying sword technique!

“Flying Swallow Style!”

The flying sword became as light as swift as a swallow. In a flash, it vanished without a trace. It was enough to see how fast the sword light was.

Venerated Sword’s old eyes turned grim. He did not dare to put down his guard. He held his sword and leapt into the air to avoid the flying sparrow sword light. From above, he then made a slash at Yan Hui who was standing below.

“Sword Waterfall Style!”

In the next instant, the sword light poured out like a massive waterfall, rushing down to Yan Hui like the Milky Way descending from the Ninth Heaven.

Yan Hui’s flying sword immediately returned to him as soon as it touched Venerated Sword’s sword light that was as terrifying as a waterfall. Countless cracks appeared on its body.

As his natal flying sword had been damaged, Yan Hui coughed out fresh blood. In the next moment, he raised his head and looked upwards.

When he saw the sword light which was falling upon him like the Milky Way, his heart was instantly filled with fear. He no longer had time to withdraw from the platform.

*Bang*

The massive jade platform was pulverized by that waterfall sword light!

Venerated Sword stood in midair. In the ruins of the jade platform below his feet, Yan Hui was drenched in blood. The damage he took was extremely severe. After throwing a fearful glance at Venerated Sword, he fell to the ground and passed out.

“Venerated Sword of Sword Island won!” The sect master of the Six Flames Sect announced with a neutral tone of voice.

“Sect Master!” The experts of the Hundred Swords Sect immediately went to carry Yan Hui back, fearing that Venerated Sword might take his life.

*Hiss*

Below the jade platform, each of the Divine Transformation Realm experts were extremely terrified.

Venerated Sword’s strength was indeed unrivalled among all cultivators at the Divine Transformation Realm. No one would be able to defeat him except for a true Void Refinement Realm expert!

All of a sudden, not a single one of the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators there dared to challenge Venerated Sword!

“Venerated Sword is mighty!” The members of the Sword Island cheered even more loudly.

On the Barbarian Dao Sect’s seating which was located on the main seating, the sect master of the Barbarian Dao Sect, Marquis Nan Man, looked displeased. He then turned behind and gave an order to an elderly man who carried a sword on his back.

“He’s just a mere Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator. He really has no idea about the immensity of heaven and earth to think that he can challenge over one hundred sects on his own using the sword intent of a broken Immortal Entrapping Sword. Lian Qin, go and kill him!”

“Understood!”

That elderly man took a step forward and turned into a ray of light. In the next second, he appeared on the ruins of the jade platforms.

That man was also a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm sword cultivator but his aura force was not weaker than Venerated Sword’s.

Venerated Sword descended to the ground, staring at his new opponent solemnly. He did not dare to belittle this person.

“I’m Lian Qin. Under my sect master’s orders, I came to take your head!”

*Chi*

Just as his voice fell, his body released a frightening sword intent. The force of his sword intent was extremely formidable. In that sword intent, there was even a trace of ancient sword intent which gave Venerated Sword a jolt!

Countless old monsters around the jade platforms cried out in surprise again. When Lian Qin drew out the gigantic sword from his back, the uproar became even more intense.

“T-This is the… Immortal Slaying Sword Intent! Isn’t the sword that Lian Qin is currently holding the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword?!”

“No. The sword he is holding now isn’t the Immortal Slaying Sword. It’s just an imitation sword… However, it contains a small broken piece of the Immortal Slaying Sword which greatly boosts the sword’s power!”

*Chi*

Lian Qin pointed his sword at Venerated Sword. By just taking one step forward, he had already unified himself with the sword. He sent out a massive all-conquering sword light which dashed towards Venerated Sword at an unimaginable speed.

Venerated Sword’s eyes widened with surprise. He did not back off but advanced instead.

The battle between sword cultivators emphasized on the aura force. If one chose to retreat even by making half a step backwards, they would lose their aura force which would in turn make them lose to their opponents.

Even though he knew that he could not withstand the sword might from the imitation Immortal Slaughtering Sword using his own power, he could not take a step backwards at all!

He quickly made a hand seal and the sword scabbard on his back immediately gave off the sword shrills of several hundred thousands of flying swords.

At the next moment, hundreds of thousands of flying sword flew out from the scabbard and went towards the Lian Qin’s sword light in torrents.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Countless flying sword were broken to pieces. Each of the flying swords was at least a Core Realm flying sword while the strongest among them was a Half-Step Void Treasure!

This was Venerated Sword’s strongest trump card. Even a true Void Refinement Realm expert would have retreat with a numbed scalp when facing hundreds of thousands of flying swords.

*Puke*

After breaking nearly two hundred thousand flying swords, the sword light from the imitation Immortal Slaughtering Sword was finally destroyed.

Lian Qin violently spurted out fresh blood from his mouth with an expression filled with a mixture of surprise and fear. The remaining three hundred thousand flying swords shredded him to pieces, violently killing him on the ruins. His primordial spirit did not even get to escape from the torrent of flying swords!

“It’s a close call…”

Venerated Sword exhaled gently. He held Lian Qin’s sword into his fear. Fear still lingered within him as he studied the sword.

If he hadn’t used his strongest trump card, he probably would not have been able to win against Lian Qin.

“Venerated Sword of Sword Island won…” This time, even the expression of the Void Glimpse Stage host changed slightly. Clearly he was astonished by Venerated Sword’s insane swordsmanship.

*Hiss*

Each of the spectators were also shocked by Venerated Sword’s ultimate sword technique.

Using the power of his sword scabbard, he could send out five hundred thousand flying swords at once. Other than a Void Refinement Realm old monster, who would be able to withstand that attack?!

On the seating of the Barbarian Dao Sect, Marquis Nan Man burst into anger. He had never expected that Venerated Sword who was just a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator would actually dare to kill a member of his sect in front of over one hundred sects!

“How dare you kill my subordinate?! You’re courting death1”

Marquis Nan Man jumped and dashed towards the jade platform. His burly physique displayed great vigor and strength. He reached out his claw to Venerated Sword, abruptly unleashing his aura force.

His Void Glimpse Stage aura force swept across the ruins. No matter how powerful Venerated Sword’s trump card was, he could at most intimidate cultivators who were below the Void Refinement Realm. As a Void Glimpse Stage expert, how would Marquis Nan Man be afraid of him?!

Besides, Venerated Sword was bold enough to publicly kill the member of his sect. As the sect master, he naturally could not tolerate with this humiliation. No matter what, he must teach him a lesson!

“This is bad!”

After Venerated Sword had defeated three people consecutively, he had used up a great amount of his magic power. Moreover, his cultivation level was far lower than that of Marquis Nan Man. There was no way he could withstand the incoming claw.

Under Marquis Nan Man’s vigorous aura force, Venerated Sword only felt that his breathing became difficult while his qi became stagnant. He could not withstand it at all.

Obviously Nan Man wanted to kill Venerated Sword. He wanted Venerated Sword to pay with his life!

Seeing Venerate Sword was in great trouble, Dong Xu and Ju Qing certainly could not sit still any longer. How could they watch Venerated Sword die from standing up for the Giant Devil Clan?

Both of them took out their natal magic treasures and delivered an attack at Marquis Nan Man’s back.

When Nan Man sensed the attacks from behind, he could not help but stop his attack. He turned his claw into a palm and smacked Venerated Sword. At the same time, he turned around and charged at Dong Xu and Ju Qing with a cold sneer.

“How dare a mere bunch of Half-Step Void Refinement cultivators like you try to cross me?! You’re just seeking death!”

*Bang*

Marquis Nan Man’s palm attack broke the hollow space apart. Venerated Sword placed hiThes sword horizontally in front of his chest but it still could not withstand that Void Glimpse Stage palm attack. Upon impact, he was sent flying away while coughing out blood.

Even though Dong Xu and Ju Qing had managed to save Venerate Sword from the brink of death, they were targeted by Marquis Nan Man.

As soon as Marquis Nan Man turned around, he dashed towards them without hesitation and delivered out two palm attacks.

The massive force of his palms washed over them. Both Dong Xu and Ju Qing sprayed out blood from their mouths. They could not withstand a single attack from Nan Man at all.

“Just a few ants who don’t know their own place. Do you really think you all can mess with me?!” Marquis Nan Man said disdainfully.

“I might be an insignificant ant, but what are you?! You completely have no idea that the Giant Devil Clan is under someone’s protection.” Venerated Sword said with gritted teeth.

“Protection? The protector of the Giant Devil Clan you said. Could it be Zhou Ming?” Marquis Nan Man had also heard of the rumors about Ning Fan killing the country lord of Shi Le Country and the Palace Lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace. When he heard of his notoriety, he certainly had some fear within.

However, when he thought in a different perspective, it was not only his Barbarian Dao Sect that was targeting the Giant Devil Clan but over one hundred different first-class forces instead.

Among these forces, eleven of them had Void Refinement Realm masters including the Barbarian Dao Sect. And among these Void Refinement Realm experts, there were also experts at the Void Inquiry and even Void Pierce Stage.

From Marquis Nan Man’s perspective, no matter how strong Ning Fan would be, there was no way he could be strong enough to withstand a Void Pierce Stage expert. Therefore, he definitely had no guts to come to the Giant Devil Clan’s aid.

In that case, he no longer needed to be afraid of him.

“Humph! So what even if the Giant Devil Clan is under Zhou Ming’s protection?! We have over one hundred sects here. Just Zhou Ming alone is certainly not our match. Moreover, I don’t think he will be bold enough to come here. The three of you, do you think I will be scared?! Go to hell!” Marquis Nan Man’s eyes turned cold and pointed a finger at them. The power of his finger split into three different rays which went after the three venerated beings respectively.

Venerated Sword, Dong Xu and Ju Qing were already inflicted with severe injuries at this moment. How would they be able to withstand that incoming attack…?

Inside the large cage, Feng Xueyan who had been maintaining silence all this while could no longer retain her composure when she saw her father’s life was in danger. She began making incoherent sounds with tears flowing down her cheeks. However, no one could understand what she was trying to say.

She was just a little girl who had no ability to speak. Now, she could not even plead to the sect master of the Barbarian Dao Sect to spare her father’s life…

“Island Lord!”

“Venerated Sword!”

“Clan Leader!”

Countless experts of Dong Xu Island, Sword Island and the Giant Devil Clan were all in a panic. No one was able to rescue the three venerated beings.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

The three finger attacks landed on the ruins, stirring up clouds of dust which made it difficult for everyone to clearly see the situation on the battleground.

However, there was no doubt that the three venerated who were already in a grievous state would die after receiving Marquis Nan Man’s Void Glimpse Stage attack.

“There is no need to watch it any longer. Venerated Sword, Venerated Dong Xu and Venerated Giant are already dead for sure.” The sect master of the Six Flames Sect announced the result of the fight.

“Humph! This is for sure! I fought them myself. If I couldn’t even kill three Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivators, wouldn’t I be living my life as a cultivator for nothing?!” Marquis Nan Man said with a disdainful tone outside the clouds of dust.

On the seating of the Lan Ling Sect, King Lan Ling closed his eyes indifferently. He was not concerned about whether the three venerated beings were dead or alive. In his eyes, no matter how strong they were, they were still a bunch of insignificant ants. If an ant dies, what does it have to do with him?

The reason why he came to the Giant Devil Clan was just to get the devil slate of the clan and Feng Xueyan. He already had the slate of the Six-Winged Clan in his hands. If he could get the slate of the Giant Devil Clan, he could ask Feng Xueyan to decipher the ancient scripture on the slates…

In his mind, perhaps the ancient scriptures on the two devil slates would be enough for him to heal the injuries on his true body.

On the seating of the Ghost Eye Clan, Marquis You Gui sneered.

“The eight old people of the Giant Devil Clan who are still pathetically clinging to their lives really can keep their equanimity. They still are unwilling to show themselves even though the leader of the clan has died… Humph!”

He then shifted his gaze towards King Lan Ling. He still had yet to forget about the great feud between them.

However, Marquis You Gui was also trying to get a slice of the cake from the Giant Devil Clan at this moment. Before obtaining the devil slate of the Giant Devil Clan, he would not go against King Lan Ling.

Only when the devil slate appears would he settle the old score with him!

On the seating of the Martial Sect, the vice sect master, Wu Tian, was staring at the ruins coldly. Suddenly, his expression was filed with surprise. He just received the message-transmitting flying sword from his sect master, Marquis Wu Mu. After hearing the message of the flying sword, the blood immediately drained his face!

“Vice Sect Master, what happened?” A few elders of the Martial Sect asked confusedly. As the vice sect master of the Martial Sect, Wu Tian was a Void Glimpse Stage old monster who would remain calm in the face of any situation. Now, however, he actually turned pale after hearing the message from the flying sword.

These elders of the Martial Sect could not imagine what incident that would scared Wu Tian like this.

“Sect master ordered us to withdraw from the Giant Devil Clan at once… We must not get ourselves into this deep water because…” Because of the overwhelming fear, Wu Tian could not finish the second half of his sentence at all.

Because there is a devil lord whom Marquis Wu Mu didn’t even dare to defy coming to the Giant Devil Clan. That person wants to stand up for the clan!

On the seating of the Nirvana Valley, the lord of the valley, Yuan Xiu, who was also at the Second Level of the Golden Body Refining Realm looked at the direction of the ruins. All of a sudden, his body trembled in fear for no reason!

That kind of fear originated from the pressure of an immense aura force from an individual with a greater body refining realm!

In the mist, there was something which gave out a frightening body refining aura force that made Yuan Xiu feel afraid out of instinct!

On the seating of the Scarlet Demon Sect, the sect master, King Chi Yao, looked at Marquis Nan Man’s direction and licked his lips. He was ready to release the pent-up Void Inquiry Stage aura force within his body at any moment.

Now, even the leader of the Giant Devil Clan had already died. Who else could stop the one hundred sects from seizing the slate and Feng Xueyan?

“Erm… Who’s there?!”

On the seating of the Rain Palace, a Void Glimpse Stage pill refinement master suddenly rose to his feet and said with a surprised tone while looking at the ruins that was covered in dust.

This person was the palace lord of the Yang Heaven Palace. His name was Zheng He and he was a Peak Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Master.

This Yang Heaven Palace was once under the control of the Rain Palace’s Fourth Prince. However, because Yuan Tianjue had murdered the Fourth Prince, the Yang Heaven Palace had lost the Void Fragmentation Realm expert to oversee their palace.

The reason why Zheng He came to the Giant Devil Clan was not because of the devil slate or Feng Xueyan. Instead, he came to look for Ning Fan.

And the reason why he wanted to look for him was because there were rumors which claimed that Ning Fan’s pill refinement realm could be ranked the eighth in Rain World. He could not accept it!

As a Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Master, Zheng He’s senses were unusually keen. He was the first one who sensed something strange in the dust.

As the dust gradually dissipated, the figures of three severely injured people were standing on the ruins. They were none other than the three venerated beings.

Even though they were already injured, they managed to survive Marquis Nan Man’s attack. This far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

“Why didn’t the three of them die?” The cultivators of some other sects asked curiously.

“Look! What is that?!” Another group of cultivators noticed an abnormal sight in the sky above them.

No one knew when a massive ancient golden sword appeared in the sky above the jade platform!

There were three people on the hilt of the sword, two ladies on the middle of the sword and a white-robed young man who wore an icy cold expression at the tip of the sword. His Void Inquiry Stage spirit sense was spread extremely far away.

He gently raised one of his hands. In his palms, it was actually the power of the three finger attacks!

They were clearly the finger attacks from Marquis Nan Man for attacking the three venerated beings.

The white-robed young man managed to block his three finger attacks with just one of his hands. Without a doubt, his cultivation base was far stronger than Marquis Nan Man’s.

And it was fairly obvious that the reason why the three venerated beings were still alive was all because of this young man’s help.

“Who are you?! How dare you stop me from killing them…? Aren’t you afraid of offending the forces of over one hundred sects here?!” Marquis Nan Man was trying to question the young man as all the sects were here. At the next moment, however, his body began trembling beyond his control.

It was because the cultivators

…

The Slaughter Palace was not a force that could be trifled with. They were not beings at the same level as Moksha Sovereign and the White Devil Sect.

Fortunately, Fu Linglong had already passed away for a long time and the Blood Slave Garden had lost its owner. Even if Ning Fan kills all the way into the garden and abducts all of the female cultivators to turn them into his human cauldrons, his actions also should not offend the Slaughter Palace.

As for what the unique purpose which motivated Fu Linglong to raise those flower devils was, Ning Fan did not need to find it out. He only saw each of those flower devils as high quality human cauldrons.

The problem he faced currently was how he should get inside the Blood Slave Garden since the passage connecting to that realm was destroyed by the two elders of Ling Nan while the ancient remains were demolished during their battle.

Even the red-haired lady was at a loss. She did not know how she could return to the Blood Slave Garden.

Moreover, with Ning Fan’s current strength, he still did not have the confidence to capture a Void Fragmentation Realm Female expert. Even an Absolute Void Stage human cauldron would be rather troublesome for him…

“It seems like I also have to wait until the day my cultivation level increases before visiting the Blood Slave Garden to capture the human cauldrons. Currently, I can’t at all take down the Void Fragmentation Realm flower devil. If I go there recklessly, I will probably be attacked by those flower devils in groups and get myself killed…”

“The top priority right now is still taking care of the matters in front of me by heading to Si Kong Demon Island and help Ming Que obtain the inheritance.”

Just as Ning Fan was in the middle of his contemplation, the red-haired lady suddenly trembled within his arms. Her beautiful appearance turned pale and grimaced with pain, as if she was suffering an extremely excruciating pain.

“Ah!” The lady wailed in agony. Her condition became extremely unusual.

Ning Fan, of course, would not have any protective feelings for her. He just looked at her indifferently as if he was watching by the sidelines, coldly studying the abnormal condition of her body.

The reason why she would be in such pain was because she had left the Blood Slave Garden for too long. Her age was shortening multiple times faster than usual and it pushed her to the brink of death.

Flower devils like her that had been created through an accelerated process would only have a lifespan which was one-twentieth of the lifespan of a normal cultivator if they live in the Blood Slave Garden.

However, if they go outside the garden and lose the protection of the grand formation, their lifespan would flow away thousands of times faster than usual, causing them to die of old age very quickly.

This was the principle of the heavenly Dao. If someone tries to take the shortcut to obtain power that exceeds their own cultivation level, they would have to bear the necessary cost.

The only way to resolve this situation was by crippling and dissipating the affected person’s cultivation base!

The red-haired lady was so in pain that her pupils dilated. There was by no means any beauty in her at this moment. She only looked appalling and horrible.

Ning Fan, however, was not bothered at all. He began rustled to take off her clothes.

“Y-You… What do you want to do to me?!” The lady was extremely terrified. From the moment she began a flower devil, she had never touched a man before, let alone being fully undressed by a man.

“To pluck you!” Ning Fan did not utter much and straight away pressed himself against her.

“How dare you?!” The lady was in a rage but she was deprived of strength to resist.

As soon as she screamed, a tearing pain ran across her entire body.

Then, she felt that all the erogenous zones from the top of her head till the tip of her toes were fondled and rubbed by Ning Fan while the pain gradually lessened.

Her cultivation base was flowing into Ning Fan’s body in endless streams.

Fury filled her heart again as she realized that Ning Fan was really plucking her. However, she immediately discovered that as her cultivation level was dropping, the pain she felt due to her declining lifespan was also slowly reducing.

Even though she was brimmed with killing qi since she was born, she also realized that what Ning Fan was doing to her, speaking from another perspective, could completely root out the hidden trouble of her lifespan and save her life.

She was originally a tuft of Blood Burial Grass that had successfully developed into a devil. She did not care too much about the idea of chastity. All she knew now was if Ning Fan did not pluck her, she certainly cold not live long after leaving the Blood Slave Garden.

When she thought of having a chance to survive if Ning Fan did that to her, she no longer struggle or resist. Instead, she began going along with his actions.

The enmity she had against Ning Fan was not reduce. However, she still understood the advantage of what he was doing to her and stopped showing any resistance.

Two hours later, she was plucked until her cultivation level returned to the Vein Opening Realm. Her entire cultivation level was nearly emptied. Because her body could not endure its frailty after losing so much cultivation base, she passed out.

But the hidden trouble about her lifespan was completely eradicated. As long as she cultivates again from the Vein Opening Realm, she would never face the same trouble again.

As for Ning Fan’s magic power, it had achieved an impressive improvement after plucking the red-haired lady.

Currently, his magic power had reached seven hundred thousand units. That plucking session had allowed him to gain nearly fifty thousand units of magic power. That sum of magic power was almost comparable to the medicinal effect of a Void Refinement Realm Dao Fruit!

“Indeed, plucking human cauldrons is much easier than searching for Dao fruits.”

After Ning Fan had cleaned up the place and put on his clothes, his eyes causally shifted to the unconscious red-haired lady.

Since she wanted to kill him, he plucked her cultivation level and he had no guilty at all for his actions.

For now, the plucking session was considered to have benefitted her since it saved her life as well.

Ning Fan shook his Cauldron Ring and put the naked lady inside that realm. Then, he gave an order to a certain part of the space in the ring.

“Bing Ling, Yue Ling, take good care of this lay. Even though she is just at the Vein Opening Realm, she will be of great use to me in the future.”

“Understood!” The two sisters, Bing Ling and Yue Ling, who were diligently cultivating inside the Cauldron Ring immediately replied politely.

After that, Ning Fan sat down on the floor in a meditative posture once again. With the help of the plucking session, he had managed to fully replenish all the essence qi which he had used during the two consecutive battles.

Besides, he also discovered that his sword consciousness and sword sense experienced a subtle change after plucking the red-haired lady. A small part of his sword sense had turned blood-red.

That color was the result of being stained by killing qi. After Ning Fan examined himself internally, he found out that the killing qi did not carry any side-effect. Instead, it even increased the destructive power of his sword sense. Thus, he stopped investigating it any longer.

He did not leave the Yuan Yao World at once. He put out the green fire lanterns inside the dark golden pagoda.

In complete darkness, he was like falling into a battle of his Dao Heart.

When he was in his younger age, he shouldered a blood feud. During that time, however, he was weak and had no connections. The only thing he could rely on was plucking women using the Yin Yang Transformation and walked the evil path.

After climbing and advancing all his way to his current stage, be it his pill refinement realm or his cultivation level, both of them were enough for him to cultivate peacefully. He did not need to go against the world to become a devil lord of dual-cultivation.

However, ever since he chose the evil path, how would it be easy for him to return?

Two paths seemed to appear in his mindscape. One of them was black while the other one was white. The white path led to the vast and boundless righteous path while the black one led to the evil path strewn with thorns.

Ning Fan sighed gently. He crushed both the righteous and evil paths, combining the two paths into one. Then, he opened his eyes.

“Neither am I righteous nor evil. However, if it’s for protecting them, I can be righteous or evil.”

*Chi*

Ning Fan suddenly rose to his feet and turned into a ray of flowing light that flew out of the pagoda and Yuan Yao World.

After returning to the silver boat, the first thing he did was to use the power of his memory intent realm to selectively erase one-day memories of all the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators, including Old Man Qu.

The Soul Memory Searching Technique that was commonly used would inflict a huge damage to cultivators’ Sea of Consciousness. As for memory intent realm which Ning Fan used, it could reduce the damage a little.

All the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators whose memories were erased fell unconscious temporarily.

When they woke up later, they all felt some parts of their bodies hurt incredibly but they could not remember anything.

Of course, the place where they felt painful wasn’t their backside but their Sea of Consciousness.

“Weren’t we driving the silver boat just now? Why would we become unconscious all of a sudden?” A Divine Transformation Realm servant asked.

“It seems like something had happened but I can’t remember it.” Another Divine Transformation Realm cultivator answered with a strange feeling.
