Chapter 484 - Pulverizing The Broken World
Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Pulverizing The Broken World
To make others underestimate you, one has to continue pretending to be weak and dumb.
To strike fear into others, however, one only needs to commit a large-scale massacre.
Millions of Gold Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm devil spirits were stunned by Ning Fan’s devil might and passed out.
Only eight hundred Divine Transformation Realm devil spirits and the remaining eleven Void Refinement Realm old monsters who managed to stay awake withstanding Ning Fan’s aura force.
The sight of Ning Fan’s ferocious might shattered the confidence of the eight hundred Divine Transformation Devil Spirits. All of them were overwhelmed with fear.
They strenuously got to their feet from the ground but they could not stop the involuntary trembling of their bodies.
“Lord Qian Gui, we certainly aren’t a match for this devil. What should we do? What if we retreat…?” Countless Divine Transformation Realm devil spirits suggested to Qian Gui and the other Void Refinement Realm old monsters.
“…”10 of the Void Refinement Realm devil spirits fell silent. Only Qian Gui who responded differently. After fixing his eyes on Ning Fan for a while, the fear in his eyes gradually vanished.
“There’s no need to retreat. I have confidence to kill this brat!”
The confident assurance which Qian Gui gave everyone definitely was surprising!
Just a moment ago, Qian Gui was still afraid of Ning Fan. Now, however, he said he had the confidence to kill him. Thus, what he said was really hard to be convincing.
The eight hundred Divine Transformation Real devil spirits were full of unspoken doubts and disagreements. None of them thought that Qian Gui would be Ning Fan’s match.
However, when the other ten Void Refinement Realm devil spirits studied Ning Fan using their spirit sense, all of them seemed to be hit by a sudden realization, just like Qian Gui.
“So that’s how it is! When that brat delivered that palm attack which instantly killed our three Void Glimpse Stage comrades just now, he depleted nearly half of his ‘magic power’! He could at most use that magic technique for one more time and there is literally no way he could use deliver the same attack for the third time!”
The magic power which these old monsters were talking about was none other than Ning Fan’s essence qi.
The Execution Devil Palm was indeed powerful but the consumption of essence qi was extremely huge as well. When Ning Fan just learnt this technique in the past, a single use of this technique would have used up all of his essence qi.
Today, the total amount of essence qi in him had increased nearly by a fold, reaching nine million units. Even so, that amount of essence qi was only enough for him to use the palm attack twice.
At this moment, almost everyone believed that as long as Ning Fan uses that palm attack once more, he would completely deplete his magic power. When that time comes, he would be at their mercy with no power to retaliate.
If that’s the case, as long as they could trick Ning Fan into using that palm attack for the second time and use up his magic power, he would only be a defenseless prey regardless of his strength!
“My eight hundred Divine Transformation Realm comrades, listen to my command. Form the ‘Fighting Circle Formation’! Kill this devil with all your might!”
As soon as Qian Gui gave that command, the eight hundred Divine Transformation Realm devil spirits turned into rays of light and formed a large formation skillfully!
The formation had gathered all the magic power of the eight hundred Divine Transformation Realm devil spirits. The grade of the grand formation was actually at the High Grade Mortal Void Realm. Its destructive power was strong enough to injure a Void Pierce Stage expert!
Qian Gui’s was quite smart as he planned to neutralize the power of Ning Fan’s palm attack using his eight hundred Divine Transformation Realm devil spirits and then trample upon him after his magic power was exhausted.
“Fellow Daoist Zhou… Pardon me. Master, it seems like they plan to us ethe grand formation to deplete your magic power. Don’t fall for their trick. Let Su Yan break this Fighting Circle Formation while Master takes the opportunity to recover your magic power. Having sustainable magic power is much more important.”
Su Yan gently walked out from Ning Fan’s arm with resolve in her eyes. Since she was already Ning Fan’s devil concubine, she naturally needed to help him block some arrows and spears.
She was willing to put herself in danger to deal with the Fighting Circle Grand Formation on her own just to let Ning Fan recover his magic power and save it up for later use.
“You reserve your strength to clean up the traitors of the Mist Horn Clan. For this battle, I alone will suffice.”
Ning Fan gently pinched Su Yan’s chin and took a step to dash towards the grand formation. His eyes were as still as water.
After activating the power of Heart Formation, he found out at first glance that the grand formation used the eight hundred Divine Transformation Realm as the tangible formation eyes while having additional 6400 illusory formation eyes.
The tracks of the formation network were like an abstruse star diagram. The eight hundred Divine Transformation Realm devil spirits who were channeling their magic power to the formation were constantly changing their locations, just like the moving stars on the star diagram.
Traces of power from the moving stars turned into countless meteors that flew at Ning Fan. Each of the meteors was around one thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) large, possessing the destructive power equivalent to a Divine Transformation Realm strike.
“If you use the palm attack that you used earlier to break the grand formation, you will certainly use up your magic power. However, if you are reluctant to expend your magic power, you will certainly suffer severe injuries even if you manage to break the grand formation and your combat power will greatly reduce! No matter how powerful your devil might is, you will eventually die in my hands!” Qian Gui’s cold and evil laughter reverberated acorss the sky. He wanted to provoke Ning Fan and make him distracted so that he would take damage from the grand formation out of carelessness.
Ning Fan did not even spare a glance at Qian Gui. Facing the countless incoming meteors, he just raised his palm and drew out his essence qi, fully unleashing his devil might. Immediately, heaven and earth trembled at his might.
“108 Palm Imprint, Execution Devil Palm!”
As he pushed out that palm, layers of palm imprints spread out in the sky. Devil qi covered the entire sky, shielding the sun. It made the heavens looked like one hundred and eight layers of devil skies.
The power of his single palm attack was on par with that of Immortal Emperor Mo Zhong in his young age.
The power of that palm attack carried the terrifying devil qi of the 108 Void Glimpse Stage giants which he had killed!
He might not be a Void Inquiry Stage expert but he was a Mid Reckless Devil Realm cultivator!
*Bang*
The stars which were transformed by the eight hundred Divine Transformation Realm devil spirits were broken one after another. The blood of countless Divine Transformation Realm creatures dyed the vast sky red. The vault of heaven was crushed and the meteors disintegrated. Fresh blood sprinkled over the one hundred thousand mountains like rain. The scene looked as if the doomsday had arrived!
Qian Gui and the other Void Refinement Realm devil spirits stared in shock. They once again witnessed the frightening destructive power of Ning Fan’s Execution Devil Palm.
Moments after that, the shock on their faces was replaced by joy. All of them charged at Ning Fan fearlessly without having the slightest hint of pity for the eight hundred Divine Transformation Realm devil spirits that had perished.
They were only concerned about one thing – Ning Fan delivering the second palm attack. Now, his magic power was completely depleted and there was no longer anything fearful about him!
“You wild arrogant brat! How dare you stop us from killing Su Yan. Today, I will show you the consequence for interfering others’ business! Kill!”
Qian Gui took the lead in front of the group while letting out a cacophony of laughter. He trod in the sky at high speed. In every step he made, his body would grow one thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) taller. After taking six steps, he was already a six thousand zhang* (3.33 m per zhang) tall giant.
His gigantic body made Ning Fan look rather tiny and insignificant in front of him. He looked down on the latter disdainfully and lifted one of his feet to stomp on him. His stomp carried the strength to flatten mountains and crush rivers!
He was certain that Ning Fan’s magic power was completely exhausted. He firmly believed that he had lost all of his combat power!
It was at this moment Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with cold light. He opened his mouth and inhaled deeply as if he was swallowing the sun and moon, absorbing the blood rain into his abdomen.
The primordial spirit blood of the three Void Glimpse Stage beings and the rain formed by the blood of the eight hundred deceased Divine Transformation Realm devil spirits turned into a massive amount of essence qi in Ning Fan!
In just an instant, Ning Fan’s essence qi was fully replenished. Without a doubt, he had used the Life Taking Technique that allowed him to replenish his essence qi by killing others!
The longer Qian Gui looked at Ning Fan was who as calm as a millpond, the more uneasy he felt inwardly. His foot was like an enormous mountain above Ning Fan’s head. However, it ceased to move at three zhang* (3.33m per zhang) away from the latter’s head. No matter what he did, he just could not land his foot.
Ning Fan’s terrifying essence qi had formed into an invisible barrier that caused Qian Gui unable to land his attack.
At this moment, Ning Fan suddenly raised his head and looked into Qian Gui’s eyes.
At the same moment, a strong feeling of certain death pervaded Qian Gui’s heart. He had undeniably felt the abundance of magic power from Ning Fan’s body!
“I-Impossible! You’ve clearly used up your magic power! Why would you…? Ahhh!”
Before Qian Gui could finish his words, he felt an excruciating pain on his foot.
Ning Fan grabbed the foot above him and pulled it with force. The foot was literally torn apart from Qian Gui’s body. Black blood gushed out from his broke foot and poured down from the sky!
Who did he think he was? How dare he use his foot to stomp on Ning Fan’s head?!
Ning Fan applied force on his palm and the torn foot of the giant exploded into blood mist. Without giving the single-foot giant time to escape, Ning Fan summoned black flames using his essence qi and created 108 layers of fire rings. He surrounded the giant and the 10 other Void Refinement Realm devil spirits with the fire rings, drowning them under the sea of flames!
It was none other than the High Grade Mortal Void Technique – Flame Ring Technique!
In the past, Ning Fan did not have adequate cultivation level. Hence, he was unable to completely activated the power of the heavenly cold qi and earth flames.
Today, his cultivation level was greatly boosted. Those items actually became super killing weapons in his hands.
108 layers of fire rain descended from the sky, taking away the lives of countless unconscious Gold Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm devil spirits on the ground. Through continuous killings, Ning Fan’s essence qi was constantly replenishing itself.
Qian Gui who was trapped in the center of the 108 layers of fire rings was filled with shock and fear. Before he could even plead for his life, he was already turned into flying ashes.
Even until his death, he could not understand why Ning Fan whose magic power was supposed to be completely depleted could actually replenish all of his magic power after killing others and absorbing their blood.
Even until his death, he still could not figure out that what Ning Fan used was not magic power but essence qi instead. He had no idea at all that he was actually fighting a Mid Reckless Devil Realm being, a fearsome devil who could even defeat the young great emperor!
After Qian Gui was dead, his life replenished Ning Fan’s essence qi.
The remaining 10 Void Refinement Realm devil spirits were shocked by what they had seen. Everyone thought that Qian Gui could kill Ning Fan but the tables were turned almost instantly and it was Qian Gui who was killed in the end.
The ten of them who were trapped in the external region of the sea of flames began to let out miserable cries.
In matter of seconds, three Void Glimpse Stage and four Void Inquiry Stage devil spirits were engulfed by the sea of flames. Their lives also help replenish Ning Fan’s essence qi.
Two Void Inquiry Stage and one Void Glimpse Stage devil spirits managed to escape from the fire rings by luck. Their faces were covered in grime and burning ashes. All of them were on the brink of death due to their grievous wounds. As panic-stricken as abandoned dogs, each of them fled for their lives desperately just as they got out from the sea of flames.
The fire rain was still falling and the doomsday still was not over. The one hundred thousand mountains were devoured by the flames. All of the unconscious devil spirits on the ground were burnt to death. Even the Devil Mist Pond dried out from steaming under the heat of the flames.
The Mist Horn Broken World which was already broken in the first place showed the signs of collapsing once more. Ning Fan glanced indifferently at the three surviving Void Refinement Realm devil spirits and said to Su Yan.
“Take care for the Void Glimpse Stage devil spirit while I’ll go for the Void Inquiry Stage ones. Remember, after killing them, search their souls and memories to find out the exit of this broken world.”
“Understood!”
Su Yan answered and used her teleportation to pursue that Void Glimpse Stage devil spirit.
Ning Fan’s impressive techniques amazed greatly deeply. Thus, she believed in him and obediently obeyed all his commands.
Ning Fan summoned his Eight Black Burning Wings and dashed towards one of the escaping Void Inquiry Stage devil spirits at a speed as fast as a Void Pierce Stage expert. In just an instant, he appeared in front of that Void Inquiry Stage devil spirit and blocked his path.
“No! Please don’t kill me! I’m willing to become your slave and pledge my loyalty to you for the rest of my life!” That Void Inquiry Stage devil spirit begged.
“I don’t need a slave.”
*Chi*
Ning Fan took one step forward and turned into a black-robed incarnation. After that, his whole body transformed into a ray of black sword light. With an unimaginable speed, he struck that Void Inquiry Stage devil spirit, slicing his body in half.
The sword light dispersed and Ning Fan reappeared in his black-robed incarnation. He reached out his hand as fast as lightning and grabbed a primordial spirit in his hands. It was none other than the primordial spirit of that Void Inquiry Stage devil spirit he had just cut.
“No! Please don’t kill me! Please don’t!”
“Shut up!”
Impatience filled Ning Fan’s eyes. He straight away searched the soul and memories of that primordial spirit, ignoring his miserable cries.
After a short while, the primordial spirit slowly became quiet and became a mindless creature with a blank expression.
Ning Fan frowned. The memories of this Void Inquiry Stage old monster did not contain anything about the exit of this broken world…
According to what this old monster knew, Qian Gui was probably the only person who knew about the exists. However, Ning Fan had already killed him and his primordial spirit no longer existed…
“I shall check the memories of the other devil spirit first. I wonder if he also has no idea about the exits of the broken world.”
Ning Fan put the primordial spirit into his mouth devoured it. He did not let his spiritual puppet eat it but devour it himself instead.
One Void Refinement Realm old monster could give him around ten thousand units of essence qi by using his ancient devil ancestral talisman to assimilate their primordial spirits. From killing this ground of Void Refinement Realm devil spirits, he at least had obtained nearly one hundred thousand units of essence qi.
*Chi*
In a flash of light, Ning Fan went straight to the other Void Inquiry Stage devil spirit.
That devil spirit was scared half to death when he sensed Ning Fan’s approaching him. While escaping for his life, he was spitting harsh words at Ning Fan.
“I’m a subordinate of General Xi Mo. If you dare to kill me, Xi Mo will surely not let you go!”
“Xi Mo? I really look forward to see how he is going to not let me go. Exterminate!”
*Bang*
Ning Fan delivered the Samadhi Fire Palm. His black flame condensed into a palm imprint and incinerated the physical body of that Void Inquiry Stage devil spirit, leaving only his primordial spirit.
The Void Inquiry Stage primordial spirit was horrified. He struggled to flee from the sea of black flames. Fearing this black flames was already in his instinct. He witnessed that wave of black flames that engulfed seven other Void Refinement Realm old monsters with his own eyes and he would never forget that horrifying scene for the rest of his life!
No. He was not going to have the rest of his life as he no longer had the chance to continue living on.
“Soul Searching!”
Ning Fan directly searched his soul and memories without even giving him the chance to spit anymore harsh words.
After making a few painful cries, this devil spirit was also turned into a mindless being. Similarly, Ning Fan tossed this primordial spirit into his mouth and swallowed it.
After that, Ning Fan frowned again. This Void Inquiry Stage expert had no idea about the exits of the broken world as well.
Apparently, the only one who knew that exit was Qian Gui and he had already been eliminated for quite a while.
“Can’t find out the exit, huh…?”
Ning Fan shook his head. He flapped his wings and went to rendezvous with Su Yan.
Su Yan was a Void Inquiry Stage expert. It was as easy as raising her hands to kill a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator who was already severely injured. She had already accomplished the mission Ning Fan assigned to her and searched the soul and memories of that Void Glimpse Stage devil spirit. However, what disappointed her was that the devil spirit did not know about the exits of the broken world.
After the two of them assembled, they exchanged what they had found with each other. None of them had any information about the exits.
“Master, what should we do now? Could we still get out of this place?” Su Yan’s tone was calm. She had given it some thoughts before. It wasn’t a bad thing even if they could not get out of this broken world.
She could stay with Ning Fan forever inside the Mist World Broken World. Perhaps when they get enough strength one day in the future, they could break the broken world and get out of the broken world by travelling across the Void Realm.
Even if they don’t leave this place, it would also be nice. As long as she could stay with Ning Fan together, it doesn’t matter even if they are trapped inside the broken world.
“Of course, we could. However, since we don’t know about the exits, we need to use some means to get out of this place… Let’s broke this broken world!”
“What?!” Su Yan thought she heard it wrongly. Ning Fan actually wanted to destroy a small chiliocosm. Even if this small chiliocosm was a dilapidated one, it was not something that a Void Inquiry Stage expert could destroy.
“Ancient Devil Dao, Summoning Armies by Crushing Bone!”
Ning Fan bit off one of his fingers and summoned an army of six million Gold Core Realm devil cultivators.
His finger healed itself immediately. Su Yan’s face turned pale.
“This is the lost ancient fiendgod ability… Summoning Army by Crushing Bone!”
By using a section of the fiendgod’s bone, one could create a tribe with this technique.
It was an extremely powerful ability. As Ning Fan gave an order, the army of six million troops soared into the sky and delivered an attack at one part of the sky continuously.
One day. Two days. Three days… Ten days later, the space on the sky which the six million troops had been bombarding with their attacks gradually showed signs of instability.
At this moment, Ning Fan’s eyes sparkled. He dismissed the six million devil troops and wrapped his arm around Su Yan. They soared into the sky and directly crashed into that unstable part of the sky.
“Crush!”
Ning Fan was an expert at the Mid Reckless Devil realm. The strength of his physical body was far stronger than that of a common expert at the Second Level of the Golden Body Refining Realm. The force of the collision caused the entire3 world to shake. A hole was literally blasted on the weakened part of the space.
“Look. We’ve got out.” Ning Fan’s voice sounded a little teasing. Su Yan, on the other hand, was so startled that her red lips parted slightly.
Their figures appeared in the Tai Chi City. All of a sudden, their Void Inquiry Stage aura force spread across the city, alarming countless cultivators in the city.
“Xi Mo, come out and die.”
Ning Fan’s tone was flat but the words he said angered countless members of the Mist Horn Clan!
The Mist Horn Broken World had collapsed. It was unknown whether their clan leader was dead or alive. Thus, Xi Mo had already become the new leader of the Mist Horn Clan.
Now, someone was actually audacious enough to hurl insults at the leader of their clan. Even if that person had Void Inquiry Stage aura force, the members of the clan was not going to forgive him!
“You impudent rogue! How dare you create troubles in my Mist Horn Clan?! You are just courting death!” Countless members of the Mist Horn Clan soared into the sky. However, when they saw that the people intruding their territory were Ning Fan and Su Yan, every one of them was stunned. They all were at a loss for what to do next.
What’s going on? How could the former clan leader, Su Yan, be still alive?
What’s happening? The person who is trying to challenge the dignity of the Mist Horn Clan is actually Revered Ming from the Rain Palace!?
Meanwhile, Clan Leader Xi Mo who was having a casual conversation with two other Void Refinement Realm cultivators of the clan in Tai Chi City turned gloomy all of a sudden.
“How could this be possible?! How could they be still alive?! Didn’t Qian Gui tell me that Su Yan was already dead in the broken world?!”
Xi Mo tried to activated the power of agreement in his body to communicate with Qian Gui and the other devil spirits. However, he realized that the power of agreement had lost its effect completely!
“What exactly had happened? Why couldn’t I communicate with Qian Gui and the others? Don’t tell me that they were all dead! Is this a joke?!”
In the city, a little girl who was chewing a Fifth Revolution Pill boringly suddenly lifted her bright eyes and wore a happy expression.
“Big Brother Biscuit has returned. But his qi has become so strong. And it gives me a very familiar feeling…”
A boundless and massive amount of demon power flashed across the left eye of that little girl.
That trace of demon qi was different from all the demon power that Ning Fan currently had. That trace of ancient demon power…
Just a few more words…
