Chapter 486 - Suppressing the Mist Horn Clan



Chapter 486: Suppressing the Mist Horn Clan

Many years later, whenever some devil old monsters in the internal sea try to recall the strongest devil lord of the internal sea, they could not help but think of a certain white-robed young man.

That young man killed the three bandit kings in just an instant and knocked out millions of Gold Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators with just a wave of his aura force. Ordinary people could not even stay conscious if they stood by his side.

In Tai Chi City of the Mist Horn Clan.

Ning Fan fully unleashed his devil might, rendering countless experts unconscious. Just like what he promised to Su Yan, he did not kill any of the clan's low-level members.

As for his killing intent aimed at Xi Mo, he let it out without reservation.

Inside the city, there were Xi Mo, Gui Jiao and Yin Gong who were the last three Void Refinement Realm experts of the Mist Horn Clan along with 22 Divine Transformation Realm cultivators of the clan which include 6 esteemed elders. Aside from them, there were 9 Divine Transformation Realm cultivators from the internal sea who came to spectate the fight and there was also the group of Divine Transformation Realm servants that little Ming Que brought with her.

These experts who managed to retain their consciousness stared at Ning Fan in shock. These Divine Transformation Realm cultivators in particular were overwhelmed with terror.

"Zhou Ming, Su Yan is a member of our Mist Horn Clan. Besides, this is our clan's internal affair. Are you sure you want to interfere?!"

Xi Mo's expression turned gloomy. However, Ning Fan merely ignored his words.

"Zhou Ming! If you leave right now, I will let bygones be bygones. However, if you continue to harbor murderous intent towards me, my Mist Horn Clan will certainly fight you without rest until either one of us dies!"

Xi Mo continued to threaten Ning Fan but his words still fell on deaf ears.

"Zhou Ming! Let me tell you this! I own the contracts of ten million spirit devils. All of them are waiting for my command. If you dare continue to mess with me…"

"That's enough yapping!"

Ning Fan ran out of patience. He turned into a strand of smoke and flew towards Xi Mo with a frightening devil might.

As soon as they saw Ning Fan act, the nine unrelated Divine Transformation Realm cultivators hurriedly left Tai Chi City.

Little Ming Que who was chewing pills in her mouth also brought her group of servants to leave the city swiftly on a spotlessly white "baby cloud" and moved closer to Su Yan's direction.

The 22 Divine Transformation Realm cultivators of the Mist Horn Clan got into formation and stood in front of Ning Fan. Each of them began delivering their attacks at him, pledging their lives to protect Xi Mo.

Ning Fan did not exercise any mercy to them. Since these Divine Transformation Realm cultivators had attacked him first, they had to be taught a lesson about death!

"Myriad Sword Style, Shadow!"

Ning Fan channeled his essence qi into his Separation Slayer Sword. As he brandished the sword, the sword's blade which was already as light as a feather originally suddenly produced countless sword shadows.

He could summon fifty million sword shadows in a single sword attack. However, since he was just dealing with 22 Divine Transformation Realm cultivators, there was no need for him to use his full strength. He only activated one-fifth of that attack's power and produced ten million sword shadows.

Even so, as soon as the sword light of the ten million sword shadows swept over his enemies, the 22 Divine Transformation Realm cultivators were all drowned by the great amount of sword light. They literally vanished from this world without even leaving any remains.

Su Yan shut her eyes in sadness. She could not bear to watch her former clan members die under Ning Fan's sword any longer. She could not keep her heart as calm as still water after all.

When she opened her eyes, she surprisingly realized that all 22 Divine Transformation Realm cultivators whom she thought had already perished were still alive.

Even though the ten million sword rays had destroyed their physical bodies, they purposely avoided their primordial spirits. Ning Fan then condensed his magic power and formed a thread which strung all of the primordial spirits together.

Seeing that 22 Divine Transformation Realm cultivators could not even stop Ning Fan from taking a step forward, each of the Divine Transformation Realm watching the fight were filled with fear.

When Xi Mo and the other two Void Refinement Realm experts saw Ning Fan capture the primordial spirits of the 22 cultivators and strung them on a thread to humiliate them instead of killing them, their expressions became even more hideous.

"Zhou Ming! If you have the balls, then kill me! I will protect Lord Xi Mo even if I have to die!" A Divine Transformation Realm elder who had an unyielding spirit shouted in rage.

"I will never believe the words that bitch Su Yan said to slander our Lord Xi Mo! Zhou Ming! Unless you show me evidence that proves Lord Xi Mo has really plotted against Su Yan, it's clearly unreasonable for you to attack Lord Xi Mo!" Another elderly cultivator spoke with hatred.

"Kill me!"

"I want to die with you together!"

The harsh rebuke from each of the Divine Transformation Realm old monsters could not make Ning Fan reveal a single hint of his emotion.

"I would be too lenient to you all if I kill you right away. I want to plant slave marks on all of you. From today onwards, your descendants will become my devil slaves for eternity! Crush!"

Ning Fan's words were brief but they immediately filled the faces of all the Divine Transformation Realm elders with fear.

The slave mark was a restraining ability of the ancient devils. It was a long lost divine ability of a distant past. It was widely used by the devil race in ancient times. For example, Great Emperor Mo Luo had ruled over four great devil clans by enslaving them using the slave mark, causing them to be unable to escape from the fate of being slaves to him.

The method of planting a slave mark had already been lost for countless years. The four great devil clans that were enslaved by Great Emperor Mo Luo were still searching for methods to break free from their slave marks. Hence, they did not really think that Ning Fan would know the method and they only thought that he was just trying to intimidate them.

Ning Fan was too lazy to explain it to them. He released a trace of his ancestral talisman power from the center of his palm which directly went into the 22 primordial spirits. In an instant, that power erased the Mo Luo Devil Mark which was within their bodies.

What was happening right now had really twisted the perception of the 22 primordial spirits about the world! The slave marks which had made them suffer their entire lives were actually erased by Ning Fan easily!?

The method to destroy a slave mark recorded on the devil slates entails using the power of the ancestral talisman. Except for Ning Fan, the others completely had no idea about this method to erase the Mo Luo Slave Mark.

The tiny faces of the 22 primordial spirits began to look panic-stricken. None of them felt happy after their slave marks were erased.

They had been striving for this their entire lives. Many devil cultivators had been longing to break free from the Mo Luo Slave Mark on them.

As long as their slave marks were not destroyed, all of their descendants would have the slave marks and become Mo Luo's slaves forever!

They had tried out every single method they knew but they still were unable to erase the Mo Luo Devil Mark. It was beyond their expectations that Ning Fan could erase their slave marks as easy as turning over his palm.

It would have been a happy occasion if Ning Fan did not plant another slave mark on them…

After erasing their original slave marks, Ning Fan used the power of his ancestral talisman to inscribe a full and complete devil race slave mark on the bodies of the 22 primordial spirits using his essence qi.

The slave mark was a restraining ability that was different from the demon seal of the demon race. It had a better effect of controlling the devil race. Besides, it was permanent as it could be passed down from generations to generations.

"Ah!"

"Stop it!"

"Don't!"

The 22 miniature primordial spirits cried in pain. All of them struggled in vain as Ning Fan planted new slave marks on them.

Starting from this moment, they no longer harbored any intention of resisting Ning Fan. Once they try to rebel against him, the effect of the slave marks would set in!

The new slave mark was similar to the Mo Luo Slave Mark. It would stick to everyone with the slave mark and their descendants permanently.

From now onwards, these 22 individuals could only become Ning Fan's slaves. If they try to betray him, they would die!

"Don't! I don't want to serve you. I will only serve Lord Xi Mo… Ah!"

One of the primordial spirits attempted to resist his slave mark but the power of the mark took effect, tormenting him with an overwhelming and unbearable pain. He screamed in agony until his voice cracked.

A few breaths later, the primordial spirit ran out of energy to scream. He was already extremely feeble. His eyes were full of misery and terror.

He wanted to commit suicide. However, he found out that whenever he had that thought in mind, he would lose control over his body, rendering him unable to kill himself. After that, he would feel a greater mental and physical anguish that made it worse than death.

If the slave mark begins to take effect, the person with the slave mark could neither live nor die. All they could do was allow themselves to be tortured by the unbearable pain!

That primordial spirit which had an unbending spirit at the start gradually succumbed to despair and fell to his knees, pleading and kowtowing to Ning Fan ceaselessly.

"Master, please spare me. Please… I am willing to follow Master… I will stand by your side to kill Xi Mo… Please, just stop the effect of the slave mark…"

The other 21 primordial spirits turned pale. They were not afraid of death but they were scared of the slave marks.

Because once a cultivator had a slave mark, they would not even be able to decide their own life and death. Apart from that, their future generations also could not escape from the fate of becoming a slave.

"So this is the slave mark which the four enslaved devil clans abhorred. It's actually pretty useful…"

Nin Fan continued using his ancestral talisman power and divided that power into millions of traces. Afterwards, he sprinkled them onto Tai Chi City like they were countless dark golden light rain droplets, sending them into all the unconscious devil cultivators of the Mist Horn Clan.

After seeing what Ning Fan had done, Su Yan only let out a gentle sigh.

However, when Xi Mo and the two Void Refinement Realm experts witnessed Ning Fan's actions, they felt an irrepressible shock and an instinctive fear for the slave mark.

They could not understand why Ning Fan would know the method of planting a slave mark but they were aware of one thing: the moment Ning Fan planted the slave marks on all the devil cultivators of the Mist Horn Clan, they were no longer their subordinate or helper.

"You actually planted slave marks on 22 Divine Transformation Realm experts of my clan! You actually used the slave marks to enslave millions of people of my clan! Zhou Ming, how dare you?! You actually enslaved my entire Mist Horn Clan! You should die!"

"I beg your pardon – I not only want to enslave the Mist Horn Clan but I also want the entire clan to be imprisoned in the depths of the Hidden Ocean for eternity! I want to suppress the entire clan right here! Devour!"

Ning Fan's eyes flashed with a cold light. The function of the ancestral talisman was not just to refine blood and plant the slave mark on others. In fact, it could also be used for plundering the cultivation bases of the enslaved clan!

The slave mark in every member of the Mist Horn Clan contained a trace of power of Ning Fan's ancestral talisman.

Just as Ning Fan activated that ancestral talisman power, the cultivation bases of all the enslaved members of the clan were rapidly absorbed by the talisman and was all channeled to his body.

The cultivation levels of the devil cultivators who were originally at the Gold Core Realm regressed to the Harmonious Spirit Realm while the cultivation levels of those cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm regressed to the Gold Core Realm. As for those 22 Divine Transformation Realm primordial spirits, they surprisingly discovered that their cultivation levels were being seized and absorbed, lowering their cultivation levels to the Nascent Soul Realm!

The cultivation levels which several millions of cultivators had lost were used to raise Ning Fan's essence qi but the increase in his essence qi could not even reach ten thousand units.

Each of the unconscious cultivators were woken up due to the pain they experienced when their cultivation base was being seized. They then hopelessly realized that every one of them had lost a huge portion of their cultivation levels and a new slave mark was planted on them!

To a belligerent and strong-willed devil clan, being turned into somebody's slave and having their cultivation levels plundered from them was much more painful than death.

Ning Fan could refrain from annihilating the Mist Horn Clan. However, facing such a traitorous devil clan which turned their backs on Su Yan, he must teach them a lesson!

And that lesson was to turn the entire clan into Ning Fan, the ancestral devil's slaves forever!

"Under my command, all of the devils which I've given slave marks have had their cultivation levels plundered and will be confined to this place. None of you can leave half a step away from Tai Chi City. Otherwise, your slave marks will take effect, making your life a living hell!"

When Ning Fan gave that command, a great wave of devil qi spread across the entire city. Millions of members of the Mist Horn Clan felt the imposition of Ning Fan's command in the slave mark within them.

After that, nearly no one dared to take one step away from the city without permission. All of them were going to be trapped by their slave marks, imprisoned within Tai Chi City permanently!

Countless members of the clan who were hostile towards Ning Fan knelt down before him at this moment. None of them could defy his command.

The Divine Transformation Realm cultivators who were watching this scene were completely dumbstruck. It was their first time witnessing such a domineering restraining ability which could enslave millions while plundering their cultivation levels. This kind of technique was truly terrifying!

"Next, it's your turn!"

Ning Fan's body was exuding the power of his ancestral talisman. The power of his ancestral grade devil bloodline made Xi Mo, Gui Jiao and Yin Gong feel pressured and anxious.

Xi Mo gnashed his teeth with reluctance. He consciously understood that it was rather difficult to deal with the current Ning Fan.

"You two, look after my back. Let me face him personally!"

Xi Mo no longer addressed himself as the clan leader. After Ning Fan enslaved all of the devil cultivators of the clan, he literally became a man without any followers. His era was now over and he was on his own.

Even though Ning Fan could instantly kill the three bandit kings and was proficient in the slave marks, Xi Mo did not think that he would lose to him.

He still remembered the clash between him and Ning Fan three months ago. At that time, Ning Fan could barely withstand his attack.

Just like what he did that day, Xi Mo lifted one of his fingers. His body gave off a massive amount of devil qi. When he pointed his finger at Ning Fan, his devil qi formed into a ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall mountain that plummeted directly towards Ning Fan's head.

The force of this ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall mountain was equivalent to a true Void Inquiry Stage attack. Its destructive power was not something one could disregard. Even the three bandit kings would not be able to withstand this attack without suffering any injuries.

Facing the same attack he had faced three months ago, disdain filled Ning Fan's eyes. Before he had achieved the Reckless Devil Realm, he could already take this attack from Xi Mo head-on.

Today, he was already at the Mid Reckless Devil Realm. His physical body had surpassed all common body cultivators who were at the Second Level of the Golden Body Realm. Similarly, he casually hurled a fist to block that devil mountain but the strength of his fist was no longer it used to be three months ago!

*Bang*

A crumbling vortex spread from Ning Fan's fist, easily crushing the devil mountain. Besides that, the remaining force of his strength continued to rush towards Xi Mo's head. With just a casual punch, it carried destructive power that was strong enough to severely injure Xi Mo!

Xi Mo's eyes widened with shock. He did not expect that Ning Fan would grow so strong in just three months.

The latter's powerful fist made it difficult for him to breathe. Without hesitation, he directly took out three ancient jade slips from his storage pouch and crushed them.

Immediately, the three jade slips broke and each of them shot out a Void Inquiry Stage attack which collided against Ning Fan's fist.

After using the three Void Inquiry Stage attacks to stop Ning Fan's attack, Xi Mo hurriedly escaped from the area of Ning Fan's punch. He had already lost his composure.

Three months ago, he at least had strength equal to Ning Fan.

Three months later, he could not even withstand a single punch from him…

His eyes were full of despair and discontentment. Then, he gave an order to the two experts behind him.

"Gui Jiao, Yin Gong, both of you go up and fight him. Hold him back for some time! I will unseal a jade slip that has a stored Void Pierce Stage attack and help you both from the sides!"

"Understood!"

Both Gui Jiao and Yin Gong were fully aware that if they do not eliminate Ning Fan today, they would either be killed or be turned into his slaves, allowing him to seize their cultivation levels at will and live a life that would be worse than death…

Even though they knew he was extremely strong, they could only go all out and try their best as they could not afford to retreat!

The three of them moved using light rays to surround Ning Fan from three directions.

Gui Jiao and Yin Gong displayed their techniques, using every magic technique and magic treasures they had to attack Ning Fan while carefully maintaining their distance from him as they were afraid that he would suddenly attack and kill them instantly.

They had to admit that after they witnessed the three bandit kings die instantly, it caused them mental trauma. That trauma magnified the moment Ning Fan defeated Xi Mo.

The two of them were extremely fearful of Ning Fan. Thus, none of them dared to fight against him at a close distance.

Xi Mo, on the other hand, patted his storage pouch and took out countless jade slips. He chose an archaic jade slip among them. It stored an old and boundless ancient devil qi.

"This is the protective jade slip that the ninth generation ancestor of my Mist Horn Clan had left behind. By crushing this jade slip, I can release the stored attack from that ancestor! I don't believe that you, a Void Inquiry Stage cultivator, can withstand this Void Pierce Stage attack!"

The jade slip emanated an aura force of a Peak Void Pierce Stage attack which shocked every Divine Transformation Realm cultivators around.

Ning Fan's expression turned slightly solemn. Xi Mo's personal strength was nothing but he came fully prepared. In order to become the clan leader, he had obtained many excellent things to protect himself.

With Ning Fan's knowledge, he could identify at first glance that every jade slip that Xi Mo had contained the power of a single attack that the previous old ancestors of the Mist Horn Clan left behind.

After countless years had passed, most of the power of those stored attacks were gone. Even so, many magic attacks that were sealed within the jade slips were not insignificant.

The jade slip which Xi Mo was currently unsealing, for example, was an item that the ninth old ancestor of the Mist Horn Clan had left behind for the clan for its protection.

According to rumors, the ninth old ancestor of the clan was a True Immortal Realm ancient devil who was skilled in wind and wood elemental abilities. The stored attack he had left behind was originally a True Immortal Realm attack. However, due to the power that degraded due to the passage of time, that True Immortal Realm attack was now left with Void Pierce Stage destructive power.

Even so, this magic technique was definitely not insignificant.

What concerned Ning Fan more was that Xi Mo still had a lot of jade slips like that.

There were even a few Absolute Void Stage stored attacks and a Void Fragmentation Realm stored attack in Xi Mo's hands!

This jade slip which contained a Void Pierce Stage attack gave Gui Jiao and Yin Gong some confidence which made them put more energy in their attacks on Ning Fan.

The reason why both of them were willing to stay on Xi Mo's side was because they knew that he possessed lots of jade slips containing powerful stored attacks.

Actually, Xi Mo chanced upon these jade slips from a secret place in the clan.

With these jade slips in his hands, he did not think that he would lose to Ning Fan at all.

Although he did not understand how Ning Fan and Su Yan escaped from the pursuit of millions of devil spirits and got out from the Mist Horn Broken World.

And even though he did not understand why he would lose contact with the ten million devil spirits and 15 Void Refinement Realm devil spirits.

He still firmly believed that as long as he unleashed this Void Pierce Stage stored attack, it would be more than enough to eliminate Ning Fan.

As long as he is given three breaths to unseal that jade slip, Ning Fan would certainly die!

Besides, in his eyes, it was still doable for Gui Jiao and Yin Gong together to hold Ning Fan back for three breaths.

Xi Mo closed his eyes, putting all his focus on unsealing the jade slip. All his ears could hear was the explosions of the magic techniques which Gui Jiao and Yin Gong were delivering to Ning Fan.

Faced with attacks from the two individuals, Ning Fan's expression remained neutral. He just lifted one of his hands and clawed at the air. He ripped apart five rays of moonlight from the sky which turned into a claw mark.

*Chi*

Turning his five fingers claw-like and ripping five rays of moonlight. Each of the soft and gentle moon rays carried a lethal destructive power.

The moon rays in the sky gave off a massive aura force. It was none other than the Moon-Tearing Dragon Technique. As soon as Ning Fan used this technique, every attack Gui Jiao and Yin Gong sent towards him were destroyed.

It was something that Xi Mo had never expected!

All magic techniques that Gui Jiao, a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator, used collapsed under Ning Fan's claw. Even his physical body was literally torn apart by the moon claws.

Ning Fan captured his primordial spirit which survived the claw attack in his palm. Straight away, he planted a slave mark on him and seized his cultivation base, directly enslaving his primordial spirit!

So what if he was a Void Glimpse Stage old monster? In front of Ning Fan who was an Ancestral Devil, he only deserved to be a lowly slave!

"N-No! Don't do this!" Gui Jiao howled in grief. He, a dignified Void Refinement Realm expert, had actually become Ning Fan's slave. It was more unbearable than death!

As for Yin Gong whose cultivation level was at the Void Inquiry Stage, his magic treasures were completely sliced apart after just withstanding half of Ning Fan's claw and the other half of the claw directly destroyed his physical body.

He could only escape with his primordial spirit. There was no way he could block the force of Ning Fan's claw. The destructive power of this Moon-Tearing Dragon Technique was just too frightening when Ning Fan, a Mid Reckless Devil Realm displayed it.

Xi Mo suddenly opened his eyes. All he saw was Yin Gong's primordial spirit that was bathed in blood running towards him.

Behind Yin Gong, Ning Fan was leisurely chasing after him. His expression was calm and tranquil, as if killing Gui Jiao while severely injuring Yin Gong with a single move was something normal.

Xi Mo could not believe his eyes. Even if Ning Fan was at the Void Inquiry Stage, there was no way he could be this strong.

The three bandit kings could not even hold him back for a second.

Gui Jiao and Yin Gong were actually also not his match!

The two of them could not even buy Xi Mo half a breath, much less three breaths.

"You aren't a common Void Inquiry Stage expert. Your strength is unrivalled among all Void Inquiry Stage experts!"

Just as Xi Mo realized, Ning Fan who was after Yin Gong suddenly grabbed the latter's primordial spirit. He planted a slave mark on him and seized his cultivation level as well!

Ning Fan sped up his movement speed and travelled across countless li in an instant, appearing right before Xi Mo. He raised his hand and threw a powerful punch at Xi Mo without mercy.

As that punch struck Xi Mo, his devil armor completely broke. His devil bones fractured. He was sent flying away like a kite with a broken string while coughing out blood incessantly. His body then smashed onto Tai Chi City's ground. Ning Fan then stepped on him with one leg like he was stepping on a dead dog.

Ning Fan did not give Xi Mo time to release the stored attack of the jade slip at all!

Xi Mo's battered body was still holding the jade slip. He was unwilling to accept his fate but he could not use a trace of his magic power. He had no strength to resist Ning Fan's might.

"Don't kill me. I'm willing to return the clan leader position to Su Yan! Clan Leader Su, please save me. This subordinate knows his mistake!" Xi Mo looked at Ning Fan and begged while coughing out blood.

Su Yan's apricot eyes were full of coldness. There was not a hint of sympathy in them. She was only unwilling to injure or kill ordinary clan members. As for Xi Mo, however, she wanted him dead for good.

It was simply impossible that Ning Fan would bother about Xi Mo's plea. He was not even prepared to enslave him as it was best to kill him directly.

*Bang*

By making a stomp with his foot, Ning Fan's Mid Reckless Devil Realm strength pulverized Xi Mo's body into meat paste.

He then grabbed his primordial spirit and ate it alive without saying anything, directly killing him inside his abdomen.

Standing inside Tai Chi City, Ning Fan who emanated a monstrous devil qi scanned across the entire city with his eyes that were full of an Ancestral Devil's might.

"From now onwards, the Mist Horn Devil Clan will be my slave. Whether you live or die, it's all up to me to decide! Those who dare to touch my clan shall die!"

Countless Gold Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm experts from the internal sea began to regain their consciousness one after another.

All of them were stupefied when they heard Ning Fan's devil command and saw the millions of members of the Mist Horn Clan bowing down before Ning Fan.

Inwardly, they were literally saying – oh my god, what had happened to Tai Chi City when we passed out?!

Now, Ning Fan completely subdued the Mist Horn Clan which was one of the four reputable clans of the hidden ocean!

If this news were toe spread outside, it would certainly shock the Endless Sea. No… It would shake the entire Rain World!

Other than Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters, who else in the Rain World could suppress the Four Clans of the Hidden Sea?

Ning Fan was the second individual who successfully suppressed the cultivators of a devil clan of the hidden ocean right after the Thunder Sovereign!
