Ning Fan's Sea of Consciousness was in extreme pain.
Countless broken images of his reincarnation flickered in and out of existence in the star formation.
There were also countless noisy devil noises coming from all directions of the star formation. Each of them was like a clap of thunder, exploding in Ning Fan's ears. Ning Fan felt his ears buzzing non-stop. In just a few breaths, his eardrums were already injured by the devil sounds. Fresh blood flowed out from his ears.
"Once I defy the Purple Myrtle Dao, I will be killed by ten thousand stars after my star is destroyed!"
"Unite the Northern Wilderness for thousands of years!"
"Unite the Northern Wilderness for thousands of years!"
The devil voice that reverberated in Ning Fan's ears only consisted of these few sentences. However, because the person who uttered those words seemed to possess a supreme cultivation base, the devil voice was much more terrifying than the attacks of most Quasi-Saints. It easily injured Ning Fan!
Whose voice was that!
It actually gave Ning Fan an unparalleled aura of the fourth step!
"Once I defy the Purple Myrtle Dao, I will be killed by ten thousand stars after my star is destroyed!"
"Unite the Northern Wilderness for thousands of years!"
"Unite the Northern Wilderness for thousands of years!"
Puff!
That voice grew louder and louder. It was as if a Fourth Step Immortal Sovereign was traversing through endless time and space to directly suppress Ning Fan! When the pressure reached its limit, Ning Fan spurted out a mouthful of blood. In the end, he was still injured. That injury couldn't be healed even with the power of the Wood Realm Master!
However, this mouthful of blood and these injuries had stimulated his ferocious nature. Ning Fan attached great importance to Wan Xingzi who was able to injure him. He thought to himself, This man is indeed worthy of being a Half-Step Quasi-Sage Realm expert. He is indeed not on the same level as the four Six Tribulation Immortal Emperors whom I have killed.
He could not afford to be careless when facing this person!
"Currently, my strength is not comparable to a Quasi-Sage. I'm roughly equivalent to a peak existence of a half-step Quasi-Sage. For some reason, this person's divine power could activate a trace of a fourth-step expert's celestial power. Although it was only a trace, it was more than enough to attack a second step cultivator. Today's battle is a proof. Sure enough, a half-step Quasi-Sage is not someone I can defeat unscathed … "
"Your Fourth Step Celestial Force is powerful, but you don't know that I also have such power!"
Ning Fan sneered.
He was laughing because the Myriad Star Array contained Fourth Step Immortal Power. Could it be more than the God Exterminating Shield!?
Roar!
Ning Fan let out a devil roar. The power of the God Exterminating Shield that had fused with his Eternal True Body was fully activated at this moment!
This was not a battle between Ning Fan and a Fourth Step existence. Ning Fan was not qualified to do so!
This was the battle between the God Exterminating Shield and a Fourth Step Immortal Emperor as a Heaven Opening Treasure!
He could even guess the source of the Fourth Step Immortal Force in this Myriad Star Formation!
The enemy had only activated a tiny bit of Immortal Emperor Zi Wei's immortal power!
What he possessed was one-sixth of the complete God Destroyer Shield. In terms of quantity, he was far superior to his opponent!
As a result, Ning Fan's devil roar actually overpowered the devil voice of a Fourth Step Immortal Sovereign in the Myriad Star Formation!
"Impossible! This child's demonic voice actually overshadowed Empress Purple Myrtle's demonic voice! "
Wan Xingzi was extremely shocked, and he hardened his heart and pushed the Myriad Star Formation to its limits.
In the middle of the Star Array, the Purple Star Myrtle suddenly exploded one after another. The chaotic star power swept across the sky, condensing into a finger shadow that covered the sky.
That was the finger of an Immortal Sovereign that Wan Xingzi had deduced by deducing the star power! Of course, its power was not as strong as the true finger of an Immortal King. However, it was definitely infinitely close to the attack of a Quasi-Saint Realm expert. It was enough to kill a weak Immortal Emperor with a single strike!
"The finger of an Immortal Sovereign, huh? You have the finger of Immortal Emperor Zi Wei but I have … the God Exterminating Protection!"
Ning Fan suddenly put his palms together. Golden flames immediately flew out from his body, turning into a gigantic golden flame shield that connected the sky and blocked the finger of the Immortal Sovereign.
When the finger of the Immortal Sovereign pressed down on the golden flame shield, it only left a few cracks on it. It did not shatter the golden flame shield.
Ning Fan had blocked the finger of the Immortal Sovereign!
"Impossible! This is already my strongest attack. I sacrificed the lives of countless of my companions to activate it. How is it possible for you to block it so easily?! "
Wan Xingzi's mood instantly fell to the bottom. He could not believe the scene in front of him.
Ning Fan did not care about Wan Xingzi's feelings!
He admitted that Wan Xingzi was very strong. However, compared to him, he was still much weaker.
If Wan Xingzi could perform a few more divinations on this level of the Immortal Sovereign's finger, he might really be able to harm him. Unfortunately, Wan Xingzi did not seem to have the remaining strength to prepare a second finger attack. If he only has the power to attack once, it was not worth mentioning at all!
"Collapse!"
Ning Fan threw out the Ancient Devil Mountain Breaking Punch one after another. The starry world in front of him was shattered by him. The scene changed and returned to the real world.
Seeing that Ning Fan had completely destroyed the Myriad Star Formation, Wan Xingzi's fear towards Ning Fan rose to an unprecedented level. How would he still dare to fight Ning Fan? He turned around and fled.
As for the other experts of the foreign races, all of them were implicated and killed by Wan Xingzi.
The Myriad Star Formation was a technique that harmed one's enemies but also oneself. In order to provide energy for the Myriad Star Formation, countless experts of the foreign races had their life force sucked away by the star power. Currently, other than him, there were only four other immortal emperors of the foreign races who were still alive. However, all of them did not have much combat power left and were extremely weak.
It was as if their strength had been drained by the Myriad Star Formation.
"I'll leave these weak immortal emperors to Fellow Daoists. I'll go after that half-step Quasi-Saint from the Myriad Star Clan!"
Wan Xingzi fled too fast. Ning Fan did not have the time to care about the other enemies. Yu Nian locked onto the direction where Wan Xingzi fled and chased after him.
As a half-step Quasi-Saint, Wan Xingzi's speed was naturally not slow. Unfortunately, Ning Fan was even faster. In just ten breaths' time, he caught up with Wan Xingzi.
"This young man is just an Immortal King Realm cultivator but his speed is actually faster than mine!"
Wan Xingzi was shocked. How would he still dare to flee on the surface of the water? His massive body dived into the river, trying to use the undercurrent to escape into the deep waters.
Ning Fan sneered and chased after him to the bottom of the river in a flash. Once the foreign races enter the water, their speed would be greatly enhanced. Unfortunately, they were still not as fast as him.
In another ten breaths' time, Ning Fan caught up with Wan Xingzi for the second time in a remote area under the water!
Wan Xingzi was both shocked and enraged.
"What an arrogant young man. How dare you chase me to the bottom of the river?! If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless! "
After letting out a faint smile, Wan Xingzi spread out his spirit sense which turned into countless message-transmitting flying swords. They flew in all directions, trying to seek help from the third group of immortal emperors and quasi-saints.
How could Ning Fan give Wan Xingzi the chance to ask for help? His spirit sense turned into a waterfall and swept away all the message-transmitting flying swords.
"Humph! Even if you destroy my message-transmitting flying swords, the ripples from our battle is still enough to shock everyone! Forget it. I won't run anymore! Once I enter the water, my strength will increase by thirty percent. It won't be difficult for me to fight you for two hours! It's more than enough for me to wait for reinforcements! "
Wan Xingzi suddenly stopped moving forward. He let out a cold harrumph and turned around abruptly. Then, he spat out countless star arrows at Ning Fan.
Ning Fan was already prepared. He ignored Wan Xingzi and destroyed all the star arrows with just a few casual punches. Then, he approached Wan Xingzi and used the Ancient Devil Mountain Breaking Strike, sending Wan Xingzi flying backward with a muffled groan. He was slightly injured.
Since the number of consecutive attacks had just started, even though the power of such punches could injure Wan Xingzi, it was not enough to seriously injure him. As a Half-Step Quasi-Saint Realm expert, Wan Xingzi's skin and flesh were quite thick.
However, the destructive power of the Ancient Devil Mountain Breaking Strike still frightened Wan Xingzi. It was his first time facing the Ancient Devil Mountain Breaking Strike head-on. In the past, he had only seen his companions being killed by the strike. It was nowhere as direct as experiencing it firsthand!
According to what Wan Xingzi knew, the higher the number of consecutive attacks of Ning Fan's Ancient Devil Mountain Breaking Strike, the more powerful it would be.
Ning Fan had just started with a few punches and he was already slightly injured. What would happen if the number of consecutive attacks kept increasing?
However, as a Half-Step Quasi-Saint Realm expert, he was not someone to be trifled with! Even though the Myriad Star Formation was broken, he still had other trump cards which allowed him to fight Ning Fan for a while and wait for reinforcements!
"Myriad Star Immortality Technique!"
Wan Xingzi's body suddenly shone with dazzling starlight. Countless illusory Zi Wei stars shone in the water. There were actually more than a million of them!
Under the treatment of the starlight, Wan Xingzi's minor injuries were instantly healed.
"Starlight Healing Technique, huh …?" Ning Fan's eyes became slightly solemn. Wan Xingzi's Star Technique had actually reached the level of one million stars. He really should not be underestimated.
Relying on the power of his Star Technique, Wan Xingzi was not afraid of the damage from the Ancient Devil Mountain Breaking Strike. He swung his demon claws at Ning Fan's punches, clashing head-on with Ning Fan's fists.
Ning Fan's consecutive attacks kept increasing. Each of his punches was fiercer than the previous one. However, Wan Xingzi's Star Technique was not weak either. Even the three thousand consecutive attacks of the Ancient Devil Mountain Breaking Strike could not kill Wan Xingzi with a single punch. It could only slightly injure him.
After four thousand consecutive attacks, Wan Xingzi began to struggle and his injuries gradually worsened.
After five thousand consecutive attacks, Wan Xingzi began to cough out blood frequently.
After six thousand consecutive attacks, Wan Xingzi even coughed out his golden sovereign blood. His physical body was about to explode from Ning Fan's attacks!
From the start to the six thousand consecutive attacks, he did not even use one hundred breaths of time!
Wan Xingzi was shocked and speechless.
At first, he thought that it would not be a problem for him to last a few hours against Ning Fan after his strength had greatly increased after entering the water. However, the cruel reality told him that he did not even last one hundred breaths of time against Ning Fan and his physical body was already about to explode!
This young man is just an Immortal King Realm cultivator. How could he be so strong?!
Even though he was not as strong as a true Quasi-Saint Realm expert, there were already not many First-Grade Half-Step Quasi-Saint Realm experts who could be a match for him!
"Life Substitution Technique!"
Wan Xingzi's demon eyes flashed with a hint of pain. He had used his last life-saving technique.
He knew that if he did not use this technique, it would be impossible for him to last until the reinforcements arrived. He would certainly die in Ning Fan's hands!
* Bang *
As soon as he used this technique, Wan Xingzi's physical body suddenly exploded into countless rays of starlight and disappeared.
"He actually ran away?" Ning Fan was surprised.
The magnetic force at the bottom of the water was too strong. The rain sense could not spread too far. He took out the Treasure Searching Compass to search for Wan Xingzi's whereabouts. As a result, he found out that after Wan Xingzi self-detonated once, he actually managed to travel a distance of several hundred days in an instant. Even if Ning Fan chased after him at full speed, he would still need a few days to catch up to him. It was no longer practical for him to chase after Wan Xingzi in the third path which had a Quasi-Saint Realm expert.
Life Substitution Technique …
What a strange life-saving technique …
Sure enough, a Half-Step Quasi-Saint Realm expert is not that easy to kill. Compared to those ordinary immortal emperors whom he killed, they were on a completely different level.
The Treasure Searching Compass sensed that there were tens of powerful light specks nearby. All of them were rushing towards this place. Ning Fan did not plan to stay at the bottom of the water for long. He quickly returned to the surface.
Even though Wan Xingzi managed to escape in this battle, it would not be easy for him to get out of the water again because he had returned to the bottom of the water from the surface.
Ning Fan threw Wan Xingzi to the back of his mind and hurried back to the Azure Sky Fortress. At this moment, the Eight Scenic Emperors and the Three Sons of the Sword Mountain were engaged in a bitter battle with four weakened immortal emperors of the foreign races.
That's right. It was a bitter battle …
Both sides had the same number of enemies. Even though the enemy's cultivation base was slightly higher, they were in a weakened state. In reality, the Eastern Heaven Immortal Emperors should have the upper hand.
However, even though they had the upper hand, they were still caught in a bitter battle. They could not take down the four emperors of the foreign races while Ning Fan was away. It was enough to show how huge the gap between the Eastern Heaven Immortal Emperors and the foreign races' immortal emperors was.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, you're back! Quickly help us take down these four emperors! "The Eight Scenic Emperors and the others were overjoyed.
"Damn it! Why did the White-Robed Yama return so quickly?! Not good! Quickly dive into the water! "The immortal emperors of the foreign races cursed their bad luck. Who would have thought that Ning Fan would return so quickly after chasing after Wan Xingzi?!
The four immortal emperors of the foreign races were filled with fear. Initially, they planned to bully the Eastern Heaven Immortal Emperors before Ning Fan returned. Now that Ning Fan had returned, they no longer had the mood to bully the Eastern Heaven Immortal Emperors. Immediately, they wanted to dive into the water to escape.
One Sixth Tribulation, two Seventh Tribulation and one Eighth Tribulation …
How could Ning Fan let these foreign races escape? It was difficult to kill a Half-Step Quasi-Saint Realm expert. How could he let these ordinary immortal emperors go?!
He raised his finger and used the Heaven Sealing Technique. However, he realized that he could not stop the four emperors. He thought that they were probably wearing the East Pacifying Talisman that was given by the Great Divine Priest of the foreign races.
"Haha! We have the East Pacifying Talisman. Your Eastern Heaven Ancestral Technique won't be able to stop us! "The four immortal emperors of the foreign races burst into laughter.
Before their laughter died away, they were caught by a huge net that covered the sky. Ning Fan scooped them up from the water as if he was catching fish.
"What kind of net is this?!"
The four immortal emperors of the foreign races wanted to break free from Ning Fan's huge net. However, when they realized that they could not break free, how could they still laugh?
If they were not mistaken, this net was actually a huge restraining net condensed by the power of the Wood Palm Realm!
If it is used for recovery, the Wood Palm Realm could be used to recover magic power and heal injuries.
If it is used for combat, the Wood Palm Realm would be the best supporting Dao Law to trap and restrain the enemy.
So, it can't trap these immortal emperors without the Heaven Sealing Technique?
Sorry, now that Ning Fan is the Wood Father God, he has more means to trap his enemies!
The true power of the Wood Palm Realm was something that even Nine Tribulation Immortal Emperors would be afraid of. Even if these four immortal emperors were in their peak condition, it would still be difficult for them to break free from the Wood Palm Realm. Now that they were in a weakened state, it was even more impossible for them to break free within a short period of time.
I'll take your life while you're down!
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with killing intent. He summoned the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree and struck it at the four immortal emperors who were trapped.
The four immortal emperors were trapped in the net and had no way to escape. They could only brace themselves to resist the attacks of the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree. At this moment, the power of the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree had directly risen to another level in the hands of Ning Fan, the Wood Father God. Every time it struck the four immortal emperors, it was like a Mid Grade Innate Magic Treasure. Not long after that, the physical body of the Six Tribulation Immortal Emperor was destroyed and his demon soul was captured and destroyed.
Another one hundred breaths later, the other two Seven Tribulation Immortal Emperors were also killed by Ning Fan in the same way.
Another two hundred breaths later, the last Eight Tribulation Immortal Emperor also sacrificed himself gloriously.
The Eight Scenery Emperors and the others felt their scalps go numb. Those were immortal emperors whom they had fought hard against but they were all killed by Ning Fan in just a few moves. Did he have to be so relaxed …?
Ning Fan was indeed worthy of being the Eighth Generation Killing Emperor who was known as a monster. He was not someone ordinary people like them could be compared to. Perhaps only the outstanding immortal kings in the ancient times could be a match for the current Ning Fan.
"It's all thanks to Fellow Daoist Ning's help that my Azure Sky Fortress is able to survive. We will never forget your great kindness!"
After the Eight Scenery Emperors and the others calmed themselves down, they cupped their fists at Ning Fan and expressed their gratitude.
Ning Fan accepted their gratitude calmly. At this moment, being humble would only make him look hypocritical. He would even be suspected of deliberately showing off his achievements.
"By the way, did you manage to capture that Half-Step Quasi-Saint of the Myriad Star Clan?" The Eight Scenery Emperors asked a question that many cultivators guarding the fortress were concerned about.
"I couldn't capture him. He managed to escape." Ning Fan sighed, feeling deeply regretful. It was not that he did not try his best but it was really not easy to kill a Half-Step Quasi-Saint. Besides, Wan Xingzi's life-saving means were too heaven-defying.
Star Loss Life Substitution Technique …
Ning Fan was doubtful. Even if he immobilized Wan Xingzi, trapped him or even killed him on the spot, he would still be able to preserve his life with this secret technique …
Cultivators in the Cultivation Declining Period were not worth mentioning. However, the abilities used by these Immortal Emperors of foreign races were all supreme immortal techniques inherited from the Zi Wei Immortal Domain. Thus, they should not be underestimated.
Besides, what kind of existences were Half-Step Quasi-Saints? They were existences at the same level as Zang Yue, Afro, the Dead Emperor and Light Buddha. As long as they were related to the word 'Holy', they could no longer be treated lightly. How could they be killed so easily? It was true that Ning Fan had the strength to defeat a Half-Step Quasi-Saint but he did not have the strength to capture a Half-Step Quasi-Saint alive. Capturing Afro alive that day was just a beautiful accident. It was impossible for such accidents to happen again and again.
"* Sigh * It's indeed a pity that I couldn't capture him in one go. However, Fellow Daoist Ning, you don't have to worry about it too much. After all, the opponent is a Half-Step Quasi-Saint. Being able to defeat him and make him flee at the sight of you is enough to prove your capabilities. Besides, Fellow Daoist has killed a total of eight Immortal Emperors in this battle. It's really an eye-opener for us. After this battle, I'm afraid the third path can be conquered in one go! "
"Eight of the Immortal Emperors of the foreign races are dead and one of them has fled. There are no more Immortal Emperors of the foreign races on the surface of the third path. At this moment, there are only a group of low-grade Immortal Emperors guarding the White Tiger Pass. It's the best time for fellow Daoists to seize the pass. As for me, I will stay here to protect Fellow Daoist Luo Hou. With me around, I will certainly not let anyone interrupt Fellow Daoist Luo from comprehending the mysteries of the Dao Mountain! "
"Alright! If that's the case, I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist to protect me while I assemble the army and send troops to the White Tiger Pass. We will take back the Third Waterway in one go! "
The Eight Scenery Emperors and the others were both happy and ashamed at the same time.
They were happy because they finally had a chance to take back the Third Waterway which they had been fighting hard for dozens of years.
They were ashamed because Ning Fan had just arrived and he easily accomplished something that they could not do for dozens of years.
Now, all the cultivators in the alliance army said that Ning Fan was the strongest expert in the alliance army of the Border River.
Their words were not false.
…
Ning Fan stayed in the Azure Sky Pass. There were no more Immortal Emperors of the foreign races in the next pass, the White Tiger Pass. Thus, it did not matter much whether he participated in the battle or not.
Even though the Eastern Heaven Immortal Emperor was weaker than the Immortal Emperors of the foreign races who were at the same level as him, it was still very easy for him to deal with the foreign races who were below the Immortal Emperor Realm.
If an Immortal Emperor still had a hard time dealing with low-grade Immortal Emperors, he would really have lived his life in vain.
It was not difficult for Ning Fan to win the battle. However, he still suffered some injuries. Wan Xingzi was still a formidable figure. Being able to injure Ning Fan and escape with great difficulty, he was worthy of his Half-Step Quasi-Sage Realm cultivation base.
"This man is just a Half-Step Quasi-Sage Realm cultivator. If he's a real First Level Quasi-Sage Realm cultivator, I would be the one who should run …"
"My cultivation base has already attained the Immortal King Realm in all four elements. The next step is to become an Immortal Emperor … In order to become an Immortal Emperor, I must pass the Nine Five Great Tribulations. To me, the Battle King's tribulation is quite meaningful to me. "
Ning Fan patiently stayed in the Azure Sky Pass to protect Luo Hou. While he was observing Luo Hou's breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor Realm, his own comprehension towards the Immortal Emperor Realm was also increasing bit by bit.
Six days later, the Eight Scenery Emperors and the others recovered the White Tiger Pass and sent the news to the Azure Sky Pass.
Forty-five days later, Luo Hou finished his comprehension and successfully severed the Dao Mountain. He officially advanced to the Immortal Emperor Realm from the Immortal King Realm and became a Six Tribulation Immortal Emperor!
Luo Hou who was just an Immortal King could already fight evenly against a Seven Tribulation Immortal Emperor.
His aura force was not any weaker than that of an experienced Eight Tribulation Immortal Emperor like the Eight Scenery Emperors. The current Luo Hou could definitely be considered as the main force of the alliance army.
"Hahaha! This time, it's all thanks to Brother Ning's protection that I can safely advance to the Immortal Emperor Realm. Brother Ning, oh Brother Ning, I really don't know how to thank you. It's a pity that I'm not a woman. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have to marry you. "
Luo Hou was in a good mood after successfully advancing to the Immortal Emperor Realm. He was deeply touched by Ning Fan's help. Of course, he would not thank Ning Fan again.
He had already regarded Ning Fan as a friend who had gone through life and death with him. There was no need for him to be courteous when talking to Ning Fan. Now that the knot in his heart had been untied, he began to joke with Ning Fan calmly.
"Even if you're a woman, I still don't want you!" Ning Fan said helplessly.
He had painstakingly helped his good friend transcend his tribulation but his good friend actually did not behave properly. They were indeed a group of bad friends.
However, he did not dislike such bad friends because he knew that if he was in danger during his tribulation, his good friend would certainly help him regardless of the cost.
"If you don't want me, do you want wine?"
"I can consider wine. Just take it as a congratulation for your success in advancing to the Immortal Emperor Realm!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
…
It was nighttime. Luo Hou was extremely drunk.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, was half drunk and half sober. He flew out of the Azure Sky Fortress under the cover of the night. The moment he left the fortress, he got rid of the smell of alcohol in his body.
The third water route had been completely taken back.
Luo Hou had also successfully transcended his Nine-Five Great Tribulation.
However, Ning Fan still had an unfinished business in the third path. He still had to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Great Emperor Lai Jun.
In order to protect Luo Hou, Ning Fan had no choice but to delay until today to investigate this matter.
He was very curious about how Great Emperor Lai Jun, a dignified Seventh Tribulation Expert, disappeared in the third path without anyone noticing …
"According to the intelligence, Great Emperor Lai Jun went missing during his routine patrol. Since that's the case, I'll just investigate along the route he patrolled that day …"
As soon as he thought of this, Ning Fan suddenly had a feeling of Sudden Inspiration. Immediately, he was shocked.
This time, Sudden Inspiration was a premonition of danger!
There seemed to be something on the route Great Emperor Lai Jun patrolled that day that gave him a huge sense of danger!
One had to know that his current self could even face a First Level Quasi-Saint without being defeated. He even had the strength to escape from a Second Level Quasi-Saint.
Then, what level of danger was it that could actually make him have a Sudden Inspiration?
Ning Fan's expression turned grim as he flew along the route he patrolled. No matter how dangerous the path ahead was, he must find out the reason behind Great Emperor Lai Jun's disappearance. This matter was entrusted to him by Emperor Cang. He still had a good impression of Emperor Cang. After all, Emperor Cang had always taken good care of him …
