Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Striking Awe Into One Hundred Sects (6)


King Lan Ling stood at one side of the jade platform. His appearance was handsome and elegant. He was clad in a set of dark purple python robes and wore a golden purple crown. His outfit made him look like a young emperor. The dash of cinnabar on his glabella added a hint of malevolence to his disposition.


As he stood in the snow and wind, countless orchids fell down from the sky around him, making him as ethereal as the child of a deity. His presence captivated the hearts and minds of many female cultivators in the audience seating…


Compared to King Lan Ling’s good looks, Ning Fan appeared to be rather less flashy. He wore a set of simple and plain white robes while his unrestrained long, black hair cascaded down his shoulders. His piercing cold eyes were like a dark quiet pool that could never be seen through.


His white clothes were besmeared with blood. On his glabella, the star which flickered eccentrically filled his presence with grimmer killing intent.


A rush of Reckless Devil Realm domineering intent gathered between his brows, making his aura force so strong that ordinary cultivators could not breathe normally. It also made many women around the platform fall for him.


King Lan Ling was the strongest individual among the cultivators below the Void Fragmentation Realm in the Rain World. As for Ning Fan, he was the strongest devil lord of the internal sea… If Ning Fan fought King Lan Ling’s second primordial spirit without using any Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip, who would win in the end?!


Perhaps King Lan Ling would have greater chances in winning the fight against Ning Fan. After all, his true body was the most powerful expert among all cultivators below the Void Fragmentation Realm in the Rain World! How could Ning Fan withstand the combat power of his second primordial spirit?


The cultivators of the one hundred plus sects held their breath in anxiety. All of them were staring at the jade platform with full attention.


Today, there had already been eleven Void Refinement Realm experts who had died in Ning Fan’s hands. This news would surely shake the entire world! As for those who had witnessed Ning Fan’s terrifying means, who else would still be daring enough to plot against Feng Xueyan…?


Ning Fan’s expression was calm and composed from the beginning, just like an unfathomable abyss.


Even though he had already killed Marquis You Gui and had full assurance that he could win the fight against King Lan Ling, he still felt slightly uneasy inwardly…


That kind of feeling was as if he had overlooked something. It was like he failed to notice some of his enemies and they were still scheming their evil plans in the dark…


“Big Brother acted forcefully to suppress the Ghost Eye Clan and strike fear into the one hundred plus sects which harbored ulterior motives, deterring them from acting rashly. I suppose Younger Sister Xueyan’s time of tribulation should be over today… However, why do I still have this feeling of unease…?” Xu Qiuling’s brows were slightly drawn together with worries. Similar to Ning Fan, she also sensed a strange and uncomfortable ambience.


Is Feng Xueyan’s tribulation really going to end like this…?


“Hmm? Elder Sister Yue… What is she doing?” Xu Qiuling’s eyes suddenly flashed with surprise. She took out a jade pendant which contained a trace of Yue Lingkong’s qi. She could know whether or not Yue Lingkong was safe and where she was going using that qi.


According to the jade pendant, Yue Lingkong seemed to have gotten out of her seclusion…


“Did Elder Sister Yue successfully break through to the Void Inquiry Stage…? However, if she gets out of her seclusion, why didn’t she come and find us? Where is she going now…?” Xu Qiuling could not understand why.


Ning Fan and King Lan Ling stood ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) away from each other and occupied one side of the platform. While facing each other, they were resisting each other’s aura forces.


King Lan Ling only came with his second primordial spirit that did not have a powerful aura force. Ning Fan, on the other hand, had killed eleven Void Refinement Realm experts including Marquis You Gui who was at the Absolute Void Stage successively. The strength of his baleful qi nearly made King Lan Ling suffocate!


By just exchanging glances with Ning Fan for a few breaths, King Lan Ling already could not endure the latter’s aura force and took the lead to attack.


As soon as he made the first step, sond of sighs were heard from the audience around the platform. Clearly everyone was able to tell that King Lan Ling had lost to Ning Fan in terms of the intensity of the aura force… This scene did not seem compatible with their previous guesses.


King Lan Ling’s handsome face was burning with embarrassment, as if losing to Ning Fan in terms of aura force was a great humiliation to him.


His feet trod on the ripples in the hollow space. With a skip, he travelled across ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) and got to the other side of the jade platform. He raised his hand and pushed one of his fingers towards Ning Fan. His finger was sharp like a sword and its power was nearly on par with that of a Void Pierce Stage attack!


He wanted to defeat Ning Fan in a single move to redeem his reputation!


“You said you don’t need to use your Void Fragmentation Realm jade slips to fight me? Humph! I think the truth is you no longer have any jade slip left! Very well. If you don’t have any Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip, it’ll be as easy as crushing an ant for me to kill you!”


“This is… the Void Soft Tread!” Someone in the crowd recognized King Lan ling’s travelling technique. The speed of his technique was actually not any slower than that of the Void Teleportation which common Void Pierce Stage experts used.


“White Orchid Sword Finger!” There were also people who recognized King Lan Ling’s finger attack. It was rare to have someone below the Void Inquiry Stage who could withstand the might of this finger!


Looking at the incoming finger sword light, Ning Fan’s eyes were filled with disdain.


When he met King Lan Ling for the first time back in the Six-Winged Clan, Ning Fan only felt that this person was as strong as a colossal mountain and there was no way he could defeat him.


But today when he faced King Lan Ling again, he felt this man was a lot weaker than himself.


That White Orchid Sword Finger that gave out a dazzling white light that was nearly brighter than the sun was as fast as lightning in the eyes of countless people.


In Ning Fan’s eyes, however, it was slow like it was stagnant in the air…


It was not because King Lan Ling had become weaker but because Ning Fan was no longer what he was in the past!


“Break!”


Ning Fan acted like lightning. He lifted one of his fingers and displayed the Heaven Breaking Sword Finger which he had not used for a long time. The mountains, rivers and hollow space in heaven and earth began to collapse and the force of their destruction turned into Ning Fan’s finger power.


The First Finger broke the ethereal island, rivers and mountains, the Second Finger crushed the vast heavens and black sun and the Third Finger pulverized the void space and dead bones. In just an instant, Ning Fan displayed the three styles of the sword finger consecutively!


The sword light of the First Finger struck like lightning. Its power was just enough to neutralize the power of King Lan Ling’s White Orchid Sword Finger.


King Lan Ling’s expression changed. He did not expect that his White Orchid Sword Finger would be broken so easily. What came right after that was the sword light of Ning Fan’s Second Finger which surprised King Lan Ling. He quickly raised his hand to deliver the second White Orchid Sword Finger to offset fifty to sixty percent of the incoming sword light’s power. The remaining amount of sword light power landed on his chest, breaking all of his spiritual armors. Upon impact, he was pushed backwards for tens of steps!


Before he could even regain his balance, the sword light of Ning Fan’s Third Finger was already coming at him like a maggot that was stubbornly clinging to a corpse. The sight of the incoming attack made him break into a cold sweat!


From the third incoming sword light, he felt like seeing countless corpses in the void space walking towards him while the flesh of his body slowly decayed!


*Bang*


The third sword light hit King Lan Ling directly without deviation. He spurted out fresh blood violently from his mouth and could only recover his balance after taking one thousand consecutive steps backwards. Only after dispersing the falling orchids around him could he neutralize a portion of the finger power and prevent himself from being severely injured.


However, his golden purple crown was pulverized, causing his long hair to scatter and fly wildly in the air. The current King Lan Ling looked extremely battered. Even though he was not severely injured, the injuries he suffered were not light. There was no longer the slightest hint of elegance in him right now!


“How is this possible?!”


The cultivators in the audience seating were stunned and confused. In just a single exchange, King Lan Ling had nearly lost to Ning Fan!


Despite the great disparity between their strength, King Lan Ling still dared to taunt Ning Fan by saying that killing him was as easy as crushing an ant. Apparently, he was just slapping his own face by making that self-contradictory remark…


“I don’t believe it! You and I are both at the Void Inquiry Stage. Since we are both at the same cultivation level, how would I lose to you?! Heaven Sacrificial Ruler!”


King Lan Ling took out a ruler and wielded it to strike Ning Fan.


That was an ancient ruler which had existed for eons. It looked like it was made of gold and jade but it was actually made of neither of them. As soon as King Lan Ling wielded it, it produced one hundred thousand ruler shadows that went for Ning Fan’s head. Its power was vast like heavens. A single strike of this ruler could instantly kill ordinary Void Inquiry Stage experts.


Besides, the ancient ruler was also augmented with a Void Grade divine ability as well as the power to deceive a person’s mind.


All of a sudden, countless chants of ancient scripture resounded in Ning Fan’s mind for no reason. The chants seemed to be inducing him to sacrifice himself for heaven and earth and die under the ruler shadows.


The ancient ruler that was hanging high up in the sky suddenly vanished and a massive halo appeared. The shadow of the light ring gave out a trace of the Heavenly Dao’s might!


“This is… the legendary Heavenly Dao’s Ring!”


Ning Fan’s eyes flashed as he recognized the origin of the ancient ruler’s ability.


He now realized that this Heaven Sacrificial Ruler was a magic treasure that contained Heaven’s might and the user could use the power of the Heavenly Dao’s Ring to hurt their enemies. The wielder of this ruler would punish the wrongdoers on behalf of Heaven. Whoever tries to defy the ruler would be equivalent to going against Heaven’s halo.


If common cultivators face this Heaven Sacrificial Ruler, they would certainly be deterred by the Heaven’s might, causing them unable to resist the ruler’s power.


Ning Fan, however, was never afraid of Heaven’s might. To him, heaven and earth was just like a prison.


Moreover, this prison could never incarcerate him who was a member of the Fu Li Race, a Reckless Devil as well as a butterfly!


“Break!”


He suddenly pushed one of his fists upwards and delivered a punch at the sky which gave off immense devil qi. Heaven and earth were immediately filled with the devil dragon fist shadows!


Ning Fan could now display the Double Dragon Void Technique at such proficiency without having any flaws.


When he sent out that attack, the Heavenly Dao’s halos was broken immediately. The one hundred thousand ruler shadows in the sky disintegrated. Under the effect of the massive force of the punch, the entire Northern Cold Country was trembling violently!


With just the power of his single punch, he actually turned the Heaven Sacrificial Ruler that contained extraordinary power to ashes!


The Heaven Sacrificial Ruler was something that King Lan Ling cultivated using his life. The moment the ruler was destroyed, he coughed out blood once more which stained his own python robe.


He then raised his head with discontentment. He could not believe that Ning Fan could withstand his attack so effortlessly.


Even though he refused to admit it, he still had to acknowledge that Ning Fan’s strength far exceeded that of his second primordial spirit.


Feelings of envy rose in King Lan Ling’s heart. It was just like what he felt when he was jealous of Yun Tianjue in the past.


The hatred that was born out of jealousy eventually turned into the most ferocious killing intent!


He summoned an armor that was incredibly close to the Profound Divinity Grade. Even though it was not as strong as the Heavenly Ghost Armor, it was much stronger than Ning Fan’s Primordial Lightning Armor. Now, he no longer needed to be afraid of any of Ning Fan’s attacks.


“My strongest technique isn’t my magic treasure or magic techniques. Instead, it’s my divine intent. A single orchid can contain all the vigor of the world. This is my Dao! Orchids as the Dao – honoring orchids is the Dao of acquiring, shedding orchids is the Dao of losing. Dao should be like an orchid…”


King Lan Ling’s aura force changed dramatically. All of a sudden, countless dark purple orchids fell from the sky


“One orchid, one life; one life, one death – Seven Orchids Technique!”


King Lan Ling grabbed the air with his large hand and innumerable orchids in the air suddenly gathered came together, forming into seven one hundred zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall dark purple orchids.


At the moment the seven orchids appeared, the expressions of the high grade cultivators of the one hundred plus sects were filled with terror.


Of all the high grade cultivators from the eight hundred cultivation countries, who did not know how terrifying King Lan Ling’s Seven Orchids Technique…?


That was not a type of magic technique. To be precise, it was a kind of curse that was displayed using the power of one’s divine intent.


As long as the orchids remain intact, the user’s enemies would not die. However, if the orchids wither, the enemies’ lives would end…


“One life, one death!” King Lan Ling raised his hand and delivered a sword light to cut one of the large orchids into pieces.


Immediately, Ning Fan felt a sharp pain in his chest for no reason. He was already injured even without knowing the cause of it!


When Ning Fan suffered the injuries, some of King Lan Ling’s injuries, on the other hand, had actually recovered. It was as if he had transferred his injuries to Ning Fan…


“Two lives, two deaths!” King Lan Ling smirked coldly. He lifted his finger and turned it into a sword to destroy the second orchid. This time, Ning Fan felt a pain in his Sea of Consciousness. He took half a step backwards and his eyes sparkled.


He now realized that the so-called Seven Orchids Technique was a kind of magic technique that was similar to the curses that were used in the mortal realm.


When a mortal harbors hatred against someone whom they could never get their revenge from, they would then get their date of birth and the eight characters of their horoscopes and write them down on a tiny human figurine that was made out of grass. Afterward, they would use a needle to prick the figurine. Those who knew how to cast a curse could kill a person after pricking the figurine seven times for seven days.


In the cultivation world, there were also curse techniques such as the Seven Arrows Book.


Without a doubt, the technique King Lan Ling had used must be a type of curse technique and it was a quite vicious and insidious one.


Ning Fan took a step forward, intending to deliver an attack. However, King Lan Ling acted faster than him. He raised his hand and eliminated the third orchid.


“Three lives, three deaths!”


At the moment the third orchid was cut, pain struck Ning Fan’s dantian. Traces of blood flowed out from the corners of his lips.


He held his head up and looked at the remaining four large orchids. His eyes were not filled with rage at all. Instead, he was pondering calmly.


The moment King Lan Ling destroyed the third orchid, his mind seemed to have obtained an enlightenment about the curse technique.


In his mind, he recalled King Lan Ling’s words: Orchids as the Dao – honoring orchids is the Dao of acquiring, shedding orchids is the Dao of losing…


Ning Fan originally felt nothing about when he said those words. However, after witnessing the Seven Orchids Technique, he suddenly realized that the two words, “shedding orchid”, sounded rather familiar to him…


The Shedding Orchid Sect!


If the Orchid is seen as the Great Dao, Lan Ling Sect is, of course, honoring the orchids. Therefore, the essence of this Seven Orchids Technique is to seize and acquire. It’s about forcibly transferring the user’s own injuries to his enemies and seizing the enemies’ lives when cutting down the orchids.


As for the Shedding Orchid Sect, it’s naturally shedding the orchid. Its essence is about giving up first and acquiring later. Even though it’s completely opposite to the main principle of the Lan Ling Sect, both of them are of the Great Dao of Orchid.


Ning Fan lifted his head. His expression still remained calm and collected. If the seven orchids were fully destroyed, he would also suffer grievous injuries even if the technique did not kill him.


However, Lan Ling might be a man with a wicked heart and vicious means, but Ning Fan was not a kind-hearted weakling. How would he allow him to cut down all the orchids?


Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with a hint of cold light and raised his hands to perform an ancient and abstruse hand seal.


Just as King Lan Ling cut down the fourth orchid, he displayed the magic technique that he had learned from the ancient scriptures of the divine chests.


Mutual Death Technique!


“Four lives, four deaths! Lan Ling was sneering coldly. What he wanted to see was the scene of Ning Fan slowly dying.


However, he did not expect that after he had cut down the fourth orchid and inflicted damage to Ning Fan, his injuries were not healed as expected. Instead, both he and Ning Fan were injured!


A massive ancient formation diagram suddenly covered the entire jade platform. The formation diagram was carved with countless orchids.


The moment this diagram emerged, the orchids that were falling down around King Lan Ling somehow disintegrated. To his surprise, he then discovered that his lifespan was actually reducing rapidly!


“One thousand years!”


Ning Fan muttered coldly and continued performing the hand seals violently. Meanwhile, a strand of his temple hair turned gray. It was the sign of him losing his lifespan.


As soon as he made the hand seals, he had lost one thousand years of life. King Lan Ling, on the other hand, surprisingly found out that he had actually lost one thousand and three hundred years of life!


“I-It’s a magic technique of the Shedding Orchid Sect! This is the Mutual Death Technique!” King Lan Ling’s eyes widened with shock. He actually was able to recognize the origin of this technique. Overwhelmed with panic and fear, he hurriedly turned around, trying to get off the jade platform.


How could he not choose to run? The cultivation of his second primordial spirit was done extremely hastily. Therefore, he only had less than four thousand years of life. He did not dare to let this body endure this kind of life-shortening magic power that would mutually harm the user and his enemy!


Even though he was wearing a Half-Step Profound Divinity Grade armor, it could not defend him against that technique!


The cultivators of the one hundred plus sects were at a loss. They had no idea at all about what a Mutual Death Technique was and neither were they aware of how frightening that technique was.


However, when they saw King Lan Ling’s horrified expression, each of them could not stop guessing what kind of technique Ning Fan was using.


In the Lan Ling Sect, the Void Pierce Stage elder of the sect was ready to help King Lan Ling at first. However, after he saw the Mutual Death Technique, the terror in his eyes was much more intense than that in King Lan Ling’s eyes.


The current King Lan Ling was just a second primordial spirit of his true body. Even if it dies, his true body would not perish. The Void Pierce Stage elder, on the other hand, was a living person. He was a Void Pierce Stage old monster who did not have much life span left. At this moment, he only had less than 2500 years of life.


How would he dare to face Ning Fan’s Mutual Death Technique?!


“Try to run? Lock!” Ning Fan pointed a finger at King Lan Ling, immobilizing him. Then, he continued to perform the hand seals.


“Two thousand years!”


This time, he had sacrificed two thousand years of his own life. King Lan Ling’s entire body was in agony. He now lost another two thousand and seven hundred years of life. His black hair had all turned gray-white. His face that was handsome and elegant at first turned dry, wrinkled and saggy. The loss of his lifespan had actually turned him into an old man!


Furthermore, because he had aged too much, all his magic power became hard to muster…


At this moment, King Lan Ling was scared!


He tried to take Ning Fan’s life by using his Seven Orchids Technique. However, Ning Fan retaliated using the Mutual Death Technique!


“Madman! This kid is a madman! No one including the Void Refinement Realm old monsters in the history of the Shedding Orchid Sect were willing to instantly give up three thousand years of their lives!”


“I’ve lost four thousand years of life. My second primordial spirit has already become too old to battle. This kid sacrificed three thousand years of life and all he got was just a few strands of white hair!? Why didn’t he show any signs of aging?!”


“This young man… How many years of life does he have exactly?!”


Ning Fan casually removed the few strands of white hair and maintained a neutral expression.


To him who possessed one hundred and ten thousand years of life, three thousand years of life were just a trifle number.


He slowly walked towards King Lan Ling, fully unleashing his killing intent. He had already canceled the effect of his Heaven Locking Finger but King Lan Ling collapsed to the ground without being able to move at all, much less have the strength to resist Ning Fan. He was already close to the end of his life.


“Zhou Ming, how dare you hurt our master?!”


That Void Glimpse Stage elder of the Lan Ling Sect only had the guts to reproach. He did not dare to get up to the platform at all.


Not only was he afraid of Ning Fan’s Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip but also his Mutual Death Technique…


When his voice fell, only a few hundreds of hot-headed cultivators of the Lan Ling Sect dashed towards the jade platform, trying to protect King Lan Ling.


However, before these cultivators could even get close to the platform, all of them died with their blood splashed onto the platform as Ning Fan spread his sword sense.


King Lan Ling raised his head and looked at Ning Fan with his old weary eyes. He could only feel that the current Ning Fan had become an undefeatable devil lord.


“Don’t ever mess with me. This time, I’ll just kill your second primordial spirit. If there is a next time, the one that perishes will be your true body!”


*Bang*


Ning Fan lifted his foot and stomped, crushing King Lan Ling’s second primordial spirit that nearly died from old age to meat paste. The Seven Orchids Technique was automatically destroyed without needing him to take any actions against it.


Before King Lan Ling’s second primordial spirit died, his eyes had fear but also resentment and hatred.


But when he heard of Ning Fan’s threat, he did not dare to think about getting revenge on him at all. With Ning Fan’s capabilities, if he kills his way into the Lan Ling Sect, he was not sure whether his true body, who was currently in a seclusion to heal his wounds, would be able to withstand a Void Fragmentation Realm strike as well as the Mutual Death Technique…”


“Sect Master… has lost!”


All the people of the Lan Ling Sect were filled with fear. They really wanted to know whether or not Ning Fan would wipe out the remaining of them…


Each of the cultivators at the audience seating were in bewilderment. The reason why they were flabbergasted was because Ning Fan could kill King Lan Ling’s second primordial spirit even without using any Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip.


The Void Inquiry Stage Ning Fan could already kill Lan King and Marquis You Gui.


If he continues to grow stronger, who would dare to mess with him?! Perhaps even Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters would be unwilling to provoke him!


“It seems like there is no longer any meaning for us to stay at the Giant Devil Clan… With Zhou Ming here, no one could take Feng Xueyan away…”


Xu Qiuling’s frown was not loosened up… Is Feng Xueyan’s tribulation really going to simply end like this…?


But why?


Her heart raced.


As a matter of fact, Ning Fan also discovered that the uneasy feeling within him intensified after he had killed King Lan Ling.


He was not proficient in divination technique. Therefore, he could not foresee the cause of this uneasiness. However, deep inside, his instinct was telling him something was going to happen. Thus, he did not immediately wipe out the rest of the Lan Ling Sect.


Just as he was contemplating, the snowy sky above them suddenly cracked and formed a huge opening.


The Pill Island that was floating in midair was directly broken into two halves by that hole that appeared out of the blue!


Countless cultivators of the Pill Island were in shock. Some of them turned into rays of travelling light while some others rode their magic treasures to fly down from the island as quickly as possible.


The sky was filled with the gigantic rocks that resulted from the destruction of the Pill Island!


“What is that?!”


Countless cultivators looked into the sky. In the next second, a humongous blood-red tree emerged in the huge opening of the sky. Some kind of flower buds seemed to have grown on the tree but it had yet to blossom or bear any fruit.


Below the blood-red tree, six layers of blood oceans appeared.


In the province of the Northern Cold Country, eight enormous devil pillars rose from the ground. One of them was located just right at the Lan Ling Sect’s seating. The devil pillar pierced from the ground, directly killing nearly ten thousand low grade cultivators of the sect!


All the blood essence of the dead cultivators flew towards the sky and went inside the six layers of blood seas.


After that, some cultivators who were close to the devil pillar also exploded into pieces and died without a warning. Their blood splashed all over the snowy ground…


As for some cultivators of the Giant Devil Clan, they also suddenly exploded and died a violent death just like the others. The scene was extremely ghastly.


“Who is so bold to actually kill the cultivators of my one hundred plus sects randomly?!”


Each of the Void Refinement Realm old monsters shifted their gazes to Ning Fan. It seemed like they were suspecting Ning Fan for slaughtering their men. However, none of them dared to question him because they were afraid of his ferocious might.


Ning Fan could not help but feel helpless about it. Why would others be suspicious of him whenever someone takes the lives of the innocent?


Well, he naturally did not need to explain anything because the figures of eight Void Refinement Realm experts had appeared below the six layers of blood seas. Without a doubt, they were the initiators of the strange and horrifying occurrence.


In the meantime, Ning Fan also realized that all his feelings of unease magnified after the eight ancestors had shown themselves.


“Are they the ones I have overlooked?!” Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with cold light.


“My eight old ancestors, what’s all this about?!” Ju Qing looked at the eight ancestors in disbelief.


Weren’t the eight old ancestors scheming for a big plan? Didn’t they refuse to show themselves?


Then, why did they act now?


Anyway, it’s still acceptable that they killed the cultivators of the one hundred plus sects. But why did they even kill the members of the Giant Devil Clan?!


“It’s nothing. Just taking the blood of some sacrificial offerings… Of course, the greatest sacrificial offering is none other than Feng Xueyan.”


King Ju Lu made a cold smirk. All of a sudden, he lifted his finger and pointed downwards while standing several ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) away.


In an instant, the artificial Mo Luo Blood within Feng Xueyan’s body began to burn, causing her to cry her lungs out in agony.


Ahh!


Ju Qing could not believe what was happening in front of his eyes. The eight old ancestors were actually harming Feng Xueyan!?


What he found even more difficult to believe was the even more cold-blooded words that King Ju Lu said.


“Activate the Boundless Evil Sea Formation. Sacrifice the blood of everyone here like sacrificial offerings until the flowers on the ancestral tree blossom!”


“What?!” Countless members of the Giant Devil Clan could not believe what they had just heard. These eight Void Refinement Realm experts who appeared out of nowhere were trying to turn everyone into a sacrificial offering?!


Some members of the Giant Devil Clan had seen the portraits of the clan’s ancestors. Therefore, they recognized that these eight Void Refinement Realm experts were eight of the clan’s ancestors.


However, how could they believe that these eight ancestors would want to kill their own clan members?!


“Evil Sea, initiate!”


The eight devil pillars and the six layers of blood sea spread out layers of formation light which sealed the area, trapping everyone within the formation light.


In the formation light, those cultivators whose cultivation base was not strong began melting into blood and pus and died.


Countless cultivators of the one hundred plus sects tried to attack the formation light. However, even though all the Void Refinement Realm experts of the sects joined forces, they were still unable to break it.


Ning Fan stood in front of Feng Xueyan and touched her multiple times with his finger. However, he still could not extinguish the flames of the devil bloodline within her.


Ning Fan’s eyes looked anxious. If her devil blood continues to burn, Feng Xueyan would be burned to ashes in just an hour…


He wanted to save her but he realized in the end that even if he possessed the Mo Luo Ancestral Talisman, he was still unable to get rid of the hidden trouble of Feng Xueyan’s devil blood within an hour.


He actually was unable to save her!


“Why? Why?! Father, how could you bear to treat Feng Xueyan and our Giant Devil Clan like this?!” Ju Qing shouted in grief and anger. His indignant cry was not for King Ju Lu and others but just to his father, Ju Yan.


Ju Yan closed his eyes in frustration without giving him any explanation.


For the continuation of the, he really had no choice but to sacrifice the descendants of the clan…


Feng Xueyan’s body was trembling. The tremor of her body made Ning Fan feel extremely furious due to his inability to help her.


He had eliminated the Ghost Eye Clan. He had destroyed Lan Ling. He had wiped out all the formidable enemies.


In the end, however, the ones who hurt Feng Xueyan the most were her relatives…


Perhaps the emotional anguish she felt right now was even more unbearable than the pain she felt from the flame that was burning her body…


“The Eight Ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan! Go to hell!”


Ning Fan’s fist was fully covered with golden purple mist. Then, he threw that punch at the Boundless Evil Sea Formation.


Upon impact, that formation which remained unbreakable after all the attempts everyone had made actually began to erode away!


“What?!”


Countless cultivators inside the formation were filled with amazement.


Those who were filled with the most disbelief were none other than the eight ancestors!


This punch contained Ning Fan’s comprehension about samsara.


This punch contained Ning Fan’s persistence and determination!


Ning Fan did not know how he could save Feng Xueyan. However, if she dies, he would make every single person who caused harm to her to die with her!


As for the eight ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan, they did not deserve to become her ancestors!


Ning Fan turned into a dazzling light and soared into the sky. His aura force was filled with his determination to eliminate everything!


Out of the eight ancestors, the mean lady who was always disdainful towards Ning Fan confronted him with a cold looking expression. She waved her hand and summoned a flying sword as fast as lightning, trying to cut him down.


“I’m Bi Tong, the former clan leader of the Giant Devil Clan. My soul has been attached to the ancestral tree. Even if you have a Void Fragmentation Realm strike, you won’t be able to kill me! No matter how many times I die, I will be revived under the ancestral tree. As for killing you, however, it’s similar to cutting down an ant!”


“The ancestral tree, huh…?”


Ning Fan’s eyes glowed with cold light. He broke the incoming flying sword with a punch. Then, he turned his hand and activated the power of his Yin Yang Locket to condense a half black and half white rope that was not made out of gold or metal.


It was a type of bewitching technique of the Yin Yang Transformation. Its grade was even higher than that of the Yin Plucking Finger. However, the user would need to have at least Void Refinement Realm power in order to use it.


Ning Fan could indeed tell after the ancestral tree had appeared, Old Ancestor Bi Tong was surrounded by a strange aura force. It was as if she would not perish no matter how many times she is killed. But so what?!


Ning Fan swung his arm and the black and white rope flew towards Bi Tong at an unbelievable speed.


“Yin Imprisoning Rope!” Ning Fan muttered coldly.


Old Ancestor Bi Tong was stunned after seeing Ning Fan break her flying sword with a punch. But when she saw Ning Fan try to use a rope to tie her up, she wore a derisive look.


“Are you trying to catch me with an unknown rope? Extremely ridiculous!”


She flew backwards and stayed away from the rope. However, the Yin Imprisoning Rope suddenly accelerated. At a speed faster than her when she was retreating, the rope caught up with her and bound her limbs tightly!


Just as she was tied up by the rope, all of her magic power was actually disabled, preventing her from mustering any trace of her power!


With her undead and unkillable state, she should be indestructible and should not be afraid of Ning Fan.


Besides, generally speaking, she could use her connection with the ancestral tree to revive herself under the tree when she was trapped by common magic treasures, allowing her to break free from any kinds of restraints.


This Yin Imprisoning Rope, however, was too terrifying. As soon as it got around her, it even cut off her connection with the ancestral tree.


If she is killed in her current state, she certainly could not revive herself under the ancestral tree!


“Don’t kill me!” Old Ancestor Bi Tong actually pleaded to Ning Fan.


“Kill you? You’ll become my human cauldron and your life will be worse than death!” Ning Fan shook the Yin Imprisoning Rope and tossed Bi Tong into his Cauldron Ring. Then, he charged at the seven other ancestors without stopping.


He took out the fifth Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip and crushed it with his hand!


All of a sudden, a howling Void Fragmentation Realm strike rushed out from the jade slip. It did not go after the seven other ancestors but the ancestral tree that emerged in the opening of the sky instead.


Ning Fan did not know how he could save Feng Xueyan. However, after the exchange with Old Ancestor Bi Tong, his keen senses discovered that the ancestral tree was rather abnormal and it must be destroyed at once.


He might or might not be able to save her by destroying the ancestral tree… However, he wanted to give it a try no matter what!


The six other ancestors except for King Ju Lu were shocked and furious when they figured out what Ning Fan was up to.


“Zhou Ming, how dare you attack the ancestral tree and ruin the great matter of our Giant Devil Clan?! We’ll make you die without a place for your burial!”


Only King Ju Lu seemed to have anticipated that Ning Fan would try to destroy the ancestral tree. With a cold smirk, he took out a jade slip which also contained an attack at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm!


In the sky, two gigantic shadows appeared in succession. One of them turned into Ju Mo while the other one turned into Ling Jiao. Both of them displayed their Void Fragmentation Realm attacks!


When their attacks clashed, heaven and earth cracked. But the ancestral tree was not damaged at all.


“Zhou Ming, you aren’t the only one who has Void Fragmentation Realm jade slips! You’re still too young and soft to destroy the ancestral tree and make me your enemy…”


King Ju Lu taunted. In the next moment, beneath the ancestral tree in the sky above, a long-lost wild laughter resounded.


“Little Cucumber, don’t worry. You want to cut down this tree, don’t you? Let me help you! I’m going to chop this tree into pieces in no time!”


Yue Lingkong suddenly appeared below the tree and her appearance was beyond everyone’s expectations.


She raised the moon blade in her hand and swung it towards the roots of the ancestral tree. At the same time, King Ju Lu roared in great anger.


“NO!”
