Ning Fan's pace was slow, but every step he took made a sound on the ground, causing the entire Ming Yu Tower to shake.
His back was silent and dignified. At this moment, none of the demons dared to underestimate him.
Even Young Master Hao Chen who harbored a grudge against Ning Fan for revenge felt his blood boiling. When he saw Ning Fan's back, he could not muster up the slightest bit of disobedience.
"Lu Bei! This person was Lu Bei! Don't provoke him! "
Ning Fan was unaware of all these. His ears could no longer hear any sound from the moment he stepped on the jade stairs.
Even if it was the sound of the wind!
No one knew that Ning Fan's mind was currently immersed in a series of questions.
Inside the storage pouch, the silent Eastern Ocean Bell was ringing in Ning Fan's mind. Faint golden halos!
The sound of the bell had the ability to freeze one's body. When it rang in his mind, even his thoughts were almost frozen.
"Eastern Ocean Bell!"
Ning Fans eyes flashed, but he didn't stop his steps!
What is the relationship between the Eastern Ocean Bell and the Eastern Ocean Heaven of the Four Heavens Immortal World …
What does it have to do with the demon race …
The design of this Bright Jade Building was extremely ingenious. The ancient Fey Pagoda's deterrence array was set up on the fifth floor. This formation was rumored to have been created by the Ancestral Fey. It was a formation used to intimidate enemies.
How is this formation related to the Eastern Ocean Bell?
Originally, Ning Fan only hoped to ascend to the tenth floor and obtain 50,000 battle points. Now, however, he was trying to find out the secrets of the Eastern Ocean Bell.
Gritting his teeth, he stepped onto the sixth floor and stopped.
However, the moment he stopped, the ringing of the bell showed signs of stopping.
He seemed to be lost in thought as he held Mu Xiao Huan's hand and stepped onto the jade staircase. They climbed up to the seventh level, and as soon as they began to move, the tolling of a bell could be heard!
Dong! Dong! Dong –
The sound of the bell rang in Ning Fan's heart. Ning Fan realized that the red light of the evil qi that he had accumulated from all the killings he had committed throughout his life had lost control at this moment. It was glowing with red light, as if it was responding to the bell!
Under the sound of the bell, the evil aura seemed to show signs of transformation.
The pressure was invisible.
However, Ning Fan could feel that his aura was slowly being dyed with a dark red blood light.
With the addition of the crimson glow, the pressure became even stronger!
His demonic power was comparable to that of a Grand Cultivator, but his aura was still slightly inferior to that of a Half-Step Divine Transformation cultivator with 5000 units.
However, at this moment, its aura was slowly climbing towards the Half-Step Soul Formation level.
Ning Fan's eyes were filled with surprise. This Eastern Ocean Bell could actually condense evil qi and increase its aura force!
Of course, with the inheritance of the Yin Yang Locket, Ning Fan was not afraid of the pressure below the Void Fragmentation realm. Even if it was above the Void Fragmentation realm, he could still resist a little.
However, he was ultimately unable to withstand the might of a Perfected Immortal.
Moreover, the aura of the locket belonged to the Ancient Chaos Immortal Emperor, not Ning Fan. The might of this evil qi was something that Ning Fan had cultivated step by step. It belonged to him and he had unlimited room for improvement!
"If this Eastern Ocean Bell is able to gather ferocious aura and enhance its aura, I might not be able to improve my cultivation, but it's highly possible for me to possess the aura of a True Immortal in the Nascent Soul Realm!"
"However, why is the Eastern Ocean Bell ringing this time instead of behaving like this before … Perhaps the ancient demon runes carved on the bell recorded a technique to increase the pressure. The pressure formation set up by the Bright Jade Building is similar to the method of controlling treasures recorded in the ancient demon runes. As a result, the Eastern Ocean Bell's Prestige Divine Ability was activated by coincidence!"
"Void Evasion, Heaven Sealing Technique, Increase Pressure … The secret of this Eastern Ocean Bell is truly shocking! It's definitely not an ordinary Ancient Fey Sacrificial Artifact! "
If it was in the past, Ning Fan would not mind taking out the Eastern Ocean Bell in front of everyone. However, after witnessing all kinds of miraculous abilities of this bell, he knew that it was inappropriate to take out this item which had an extraordinary background right under the nose of the ancient demon race!
"If that's the case, I'll pay a visit to the Scripture Tower of the Demon City to learn the Ancient Demon Writing and decipher the true method of using the Eastern Ocean Bell. In the future, I'll have a way to increase the pressure of the bell … For now, I'll go to the tenth floor!"
Ning Fan withdrew his thoughts and stepped into the seventh floor!
The seventh level of aura was comparable to a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, but it was not enough to stop him. The bell continued to ring.
Thump, thump, thump —
The pressure of the bell was still increasing!
When Ning Fan stepped into the eighth floor, all the evil qi entered his body and merged with the aura. At this moment, Ning Fan's body was shrouded with a strong dark red aura force. Under the aura force, most of the demons on the fifth floor were suppressed to the ground, unable to move!
"Spirit Severing Realm aura force!" The black-armored demon general's eyes were filled with surprise.
In his eyes, Ning Fan's demon power was still at the Early Nascent Soul Realm. Even though his aura force was strong, it was only comparable to a Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. However, as he continued to ascend the tower, his aura force actually increased steadily. When he reached the eighth floor, it had reached the Early Spirit Severing Realm!
In fact, Ning Fan's current aura force was even slightly stronger than his Demon General Lu Sheng's!
"This young man has hidden his strength well … If it wasn't for Yao Yuan's recommendation, I wouldn't have known that this Lu Bei is actually a ruthless master who kills people like scything flax. His evil qi is even weaker than mine. However, this person has merged his evil qi into his aura force to increase his aura force. I have never heard of such a method before!"
"However, this person's aura force has reached the Early Spirit Severing Realm. However, his evil qi has been exhausted and there is no more room for it to increase further. This is already his limit. He can go up to the ninth floor alone, but he can't go up with his little daughter!"
The black-armored demon general felt slightly regretful.
This Lu Bei is indeed a genius. If his bloodline awakens successfully, he might be able to go up to the tenth floor alone. However, it was impossible for him to do so now …
"You can go down now. Even if you haven't gone up to the tenth floor, you have opened my eyes. I will remember this fifty thousand battle points for you!"
Lu Sheng who was clad in black armor revealed a smile. No matter what, his purpose of finding out Ning Fan's true strength had been achieved.
Originally, the 50,000 battle points was just a bait. Even if Ning Fan couldn't ascend to the tenth floor, as long as he was a talented person, Lu Sheng would give it to him. It could be considered as Lu Sheng's sincerity to recruit Ning Fan.
Demon Generals were known as generals. They would need powerful demon soldiers to guard a region. Ning Fan was probably one of the strongest among the 700 demon soldiers in the Luo Yun Sect! She was worthy of Lu Sheng deigning to befriend her.
The Demon General's words caused the demons who were prostrating on the ground to be secretly shocked.
Lu Sheng's words were not only a friendly gesture to Ning Fan but also a warning to everyone present. If anyone dares to offend Ning Fan in the Northern Desert City again, it would be equivalent to not giving face to a Demon General!
However, Lu Sheng's words didn't waver Ning Fan's heart.
He stood silently on the eighth floor, holding the young maid's hand. He closed his eyes and sensed the evil energy in his body.
The evil aura had already completely merged with the pressure, causing the pressure to rise to the early stage of Deity Transformation. This was an unexpected gain. However, at this stage, it was not enough to rely on his evil aura to raise his prestige.
The Evil Qi was formed by killing Nascent Soul cultivators and harming the harmony of the world.
The Malice Qi, on the other hand, was formed by killing Soul Formation cultivators and enraging the Will of Heaven.
"Evil Qi! That's right. In order to raise my prestige to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm, I must have evil qi. Moreover, I need to kill at least one Deity Transformation Realm expert to obtain evil qi. Only then can I break through to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm … I have never killed a Deity Transformation Realm expert with my own hands. Today, I can kill the first one! Moreover, I want to break through to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm with this person's evil qi! "
Ning Fan patted his storage pouch, took out a jade bottle and crushed it.
A remnant primordial spirit that was sealed within the bottle was sucked into his palm. Then, he immediately swallowed it!
It was the soul of the vice sect master of the Black Buddha Sect, Xie Guang!
After devouring this ferocious soul, Ning Fan's body gained another trace of evil qi for the first time!
With a single step, he stepped onto the jade stairs that led to the ninth floor!
No one knew what Ning Fan had swallowed!
However, the trace of evil qi that appeared out of nowhere made Lu Sheng's heart turn cold.
"Evil qi?! This young man is just an Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. It's impossible for him to kill a Deity Transformation Realm expert. How could he have evil qi? However, this aura that makes me feel cold. If it's not evil qi, then what is it?! "
Initially, Lu Sheng was certain that Ning Fan would not be able to reach the ninth floor.
However, his judgment was shattered by Ning Fan step by step!
* Dong * * Dong * * Dong *
The bell was rung!
On the ninth floor, the aura force that was comparable to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm pierced towards Ning Fan, causing his Sea of Consciousness to ache. A trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
After the Nascent Soul Realm, every step was a world of difference.
Once one reached the Spirit Severing Realm, the difference was like a chasm.
At such a close distance, even Lu Sheng would be sent flying by the aura force if he tried to resist it recklessly. However, only a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of Ning Fan's mouth.
Lu Sheng frowned. He realized that he could not see through this little winged demon named Lu Bei anymore.
On the fifth floor, each of the demons from the Luo Yun Sect held their breath. None of them dared to make a single sound as they were afraid of disturbing Ning Fan's ascension.
Ning Fan's back became heavier. Under his back, each of the demons felt like they were as insignificant as ants.
As for Ning Fan, he was like a star in the sky, unreachable!
Just one more step and he would be able to reach the ninth floor.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with determination. As soon as he took the first step, the Bright Jade Tower let out a creaking sound. The tables and chairs shook and were on the verge of collapsing!
As for the baleful qi that he obtained from devouring Xie Guang's primordial spirit, it quickly merged with the aura force.
A wave of aura force that was as heavy as a giant dragon swept across the place. Under this aura force, even Demon General Lu Sheng had to take a few steps back to protect his sister Lu Wan 'er. His eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Mid Divine Transformation Realm! This young man's aura force has actually reached the Mid Divine Transformation Realm when he is only at the Early Nascent Soul Realm! "
Within the one billion li * (500m per li) of the Luo Yun Tribe, only the Titled Demon General Lu Daochen had the aura force of a Mid Divine Transformation Realm expert!
"This young man must be the most outstanding person in the past ten thousand years of my Luo Yun Tribe. We must treat him generously and we must not allow anyone to harm him! If Lu Zongyun dares to harm him when his bloodline awakens, I will definitely annihilate his entire clan! "
With the aura force of a Mid Divine Transformation Realm expert, Ning Fan would definitely be able to ascend to the tenth floor and crush the Bright Jade Tower if he did not bring Mu Xiao Huan along!
In Demon General Lu Sheng's heart, he had silently agreed that Ning Fan had won the bet with him this time.
Lu Sheng also noticed that the baleful qi that Ning Fan borrowed from somewhere had already been used up. It was impossible for the aura force to increase anymore.
However, Ning Fan's unexpected actions made Lu Sheng vaguely feel that this young man still had some tricks up his sleeves. He was able to bring his people to the tenth floor!
It was illogical but Lu Sheng felt that way.
"Will this young man continue to ascend the tower …?"
The ninth floor was Ning Fan's limit if he brought Mu Xiao Huan along.
The tenth floor was Ning Fan's limit if he did not bring Mu Xiao Huan along.
On the ninth floor, Ning Fan stopped moving but the bell did not stop ringing.
It was still the same dull 'dong dong' sound. From this sound, Ning Fan could gradually make out the human language.
It was as if someone was saying something in the sound of the bell. However, he could not hear the content clearly …
"Who's talking?"
Ning Fan was hesitant. However, he knew that it would be difficult for him to ascend to the tenth floor unless he used the Yin Yang Locket and ascended with the might of the Ancient Chaos Formation.
However, if he used the Yin Yang Locket as a shortcut, it would go against the purpose of the Pressure Force Formation.
"The ninth floor is enough for me to obtain 50,000 battle points and prove that I have the strength to ascend to the tenth floor alone. There is no need to deliberately use the Yin Yang Locket and expose the fact that I am not afraid of the aura force below the Void Fragmentation realm …"
He held Mu Xiao Huan's hand and turned around silently as if he wanted to go downstairs.
However, just as he was about to take a step back, the bell suddenly rang loudly in his mind.
This time, he could clearly hear the voice that was mixed with the sound of the bell.
"I am the Demon Ancestor. This technique is the Heaven Sealing Technique. 'Prestige' Secret Art is the 'Prestige' Secret Art of the 'Force' Secret Art! The inscriptions are the incantations. This is the Heart Sutra! The Heart Sutra can only be taught once. When the bell stops ringing, the Heart Sutra will collapse! "
Ning Fan stopped his footsteps when he heard the voice!
Demon Ancestor?!
The Eastern Ocean Bell was merely a Supreme Rank Magical Treasure and was not worth mentioning. However, as an Ancient Demon Sacrificial Artifact, it had inherited the Demon Ancestor's secret technique!
Ning Fan managed to glean a lot of information from the demon ancestor's words.
The Heaven Sealing Technique was divided into two parts. The divine ability of the Eastern Ocean Bell and the Fixed Body Technique that Ning Fan comprehended through the bell belonged to the first half of the technique, the secret of the word 'Might'. As for the second half, the secret of the word 'Force', it was not mentioned …
This' Prestige 'Formula was divided into two parts, the verbal formula and the mental formula.
Once the inscription on the bell was deciphered, it should be a mnemonic chant.
And this bell that kept ringing in one's mind was the mantra. Moreover, this mantra seemed to only be passed down once. If one could not obtain it after the first time, the bell would collapse and the mantra would be lost forever!
Ning Fan didn't know how powerful the Heaven Sealing Technique was, but judging from Stone Warrior's astonishment, it was a peak-level Immortal Technique even in the Four Heavens Immortal World. Now that Zhang Xuan had obtained half of the inheritance by chance, and had even triggered the Eastern Ocean Bell by chance and heard its chimes, it was possible for him to learn the Heart Mantra of Listening.
If he left Ming Yu Tower at this moment, the bell would completely collapse, and he would no longer have the chance to obtain the mantra!
"We can't retreat! There was no time to choose! He had to obtain the mantra before the bell stopped ringing! There's only one chance! "
Ning Fan put away all his thoughts, held Mu Xiao Huan's hand and stepped onto the jade stairs that led to the tenth floor.
"He really wants to reach the top of the tenth floor!" Lu Sheng had guessed the beginning, but he couldn't figure out what method Ning Fan was going to use to resist the pressure of the tenth floor.
Every step he took on the tenth floor carried the might of a Late Spirit Severing Realm expert. It struck Ning Fan's mind and set off a storm.
This feeling was similar to the feeling he had when he first met the Late Spirit Severing Realm Demon General Wang Xiao before he entered the Second World.
Even if he faced Wang Xiao who had lost his demon body and was gravely injured, he only had a ten percent chance of escaping.
This pressure was comparable to Wang Xiao's. Perhaps even the Cloud General of the Luo Yun Tribe wouldn't be able to resist it!
Should I activate the Yin Yang Locket? No, Ning Fan wanted to resist it with his own pressure and listen to the bell chimes.
One step and his immortal veins were about to break.
Ten steps and his silver bones were about to break.
One hundred steps and his nascent soul was about to collapse.
Ning Fan's face was pale, but he didn't turn back.
That heart sutra was slowly ringing in his ears.
He seemed to have seen a golden-robed young man standing on the peak of the stars in the boundless void, looking down on all living beings.
The golden-robed young man's eyes had a kind of might! A might that was enough to freeze heaven and earth!
Ning Fan's mind was enlightened. Why could the Eastern Ocean Bell freeze one's body? The direction of my comprehension was wrong …
I condensed magic power to bind and freeze my body, but the direction is wrong …
He recalled the time when he entered the Ning Bi Peak for the first time to gather herbs when he was young.
At that place, the young Ning Fan saw a wolf for the first time!
Those dark green eyes carried a kind of ferocious might. Under that ferocious might, the young Ning Fan was so frightened that he couldn't move.
This deterrence was the secret of the first half of the Heaven Sealing Technique!
Using magic power to freeze one's body could only freeze the person. In order to freeze time, reincarnation and the Heavenly Dao, one would need to comprehend 'might' and 'momentum'!
"Might Word Mantra …"
As soon as this enlightenment rose in his mind, the heavy pressure that almost crushed Ning Fan immediately dispersed like a gentle breeze.
His eyes were glowing with a faint golden light. His lips were moving, silently chanting the mantra of the bell.
The golden light covered his eyes. Ning Fan seemed to see the lips and tongue of the golden-robed young man who was standing on the peak of the star!
He looked down at the starry sky and smiled proudly. With a step forward, the star which was a hundred times bigger than the Rain World was crushed!
He raised his head and looked at the sky with disdain. Then, he asked!
"Stepping on the Eastern Sea and gazing at the north, I ask who is the strongest in the heavens!"
The golden-robed young man's body flashed with blood-red light. A strong and ferocious demonic qi turned the moon into the color of blood.
He bent his finger and sighed. The blood-red moonlight was absorbed by him and turned into a moonlight boat. He leaped up and stepped on the moon boat. No one could stop him!
"Fishing for the demonic moon in heaven and earth, sailing the boat in the wind and rain!"
The scene ended here.
There were only two sentences of the mantra.
However, the aura force contained in these two sentences seemed to hit Ning Fan's face, causing his eyes to widen. The golden light faded and he regained his consciousness.
However, after he regained his consciousness, Ning Fan realized that he was only one step away from the tenth floor!
He did not immediately step onto the tenth floor. Instead, he was deep in thought.
Is that golden-robed young man the Demon Ancestor? His aura force is so domineering …
There were only four sentences of the mantra but they contained the aura force of 'Trampling on the Eastern Sea', 'Aspiring to the Heavens', 'Fishing the Moon as a Boat' and 'Traversing the Void'.
"Demon Ancestor …"
Ning Fan looked pensive. A ray of golden light emerged from the center of his palm.
This golden light was the Heart Chant Bell that had been ringing continuously in his mind!
This ray of golden light represented the aura force of the Demon Ancestor!
The mantra could only be heard once. However, this golden light was the best nourishment to increase the aura force. It was even better than the Baleful Qi!
Ning Fan's eyes flashed. He swallowed this ray of golden light and stepped onto the tenth floor in a single step!
At this moment, the golden light was refined and its aura force rapidly rose to the Late Spirit Severing Realm! It was not the aura force borrowed from the Yin Yang Locket but Ning Fan's own aura force!
At this moment, a golden shadow condensed behind him. It was tens of zhang tall but it was blurry and faceless.
At this moment, Ming Yu Tower began to collapse!
"This Lu Bei can still step onto the tenth floor while carrying another person! This kid's methods are truly monstrous! If I'm not mistaken, this person's aura force has already risen to the Late Spirit Severing Realm! However, what I find the most unbelievable is the golden light behind his back! If I'm not mistaken, this golden shadow should be one of the three Void Fragmentation Realm abilities, the Sovereign Shadow! "
"This kid can actually comprehend the Sovereign Shadow Technique at the Early Nascent Soul Realm. This kid will certainly reach the Void Fragmentation Realm in this lifetime! It seems like my Northern Desert City and even the Luo Yun Tribe have produced an extraordinary demon. This kid has broken through to the Demon General Realm and advanced to the Demon Commander Realm. It's just a matter of time before he ascends to the Demon Sovereign Realm! "
Lu Sheng was already shocked when he saw the Sovereign Shadow. His intention to befriend Ning Fan became unprecedentedly solemn and firm.
However, Lu Sheng did not know that Ning Fan had already mastered the three Void Fragmentation Realm abilities – Incarnation, Soul Extraction and Sovereign Shadow!
Ming Yu Tower collapsed!
However, Lu Sheng did not feel distressed at all!
Because the person who could make Ming Yu Tower collapse must be a peerless expert!
"I declare! From now on, Lu Bei is the number one demon soldier of my Northern Desert City. He will be bestowed the Blood Orchid Token. The Blood Orchid Guards and ten thousand little demons will be given the right to lead the troops into battle! In addition, fifty thousand battle points will be given to Lu Bei's War Merit Token. No mistakes are allowed! "
Lu Sheng's heart was filled with a sense of pride.
It was inevitable that Northern Desert City would prosper because of Lu Bei alone.
The Luo Yun Tribe would also prosper because of Lu Bei in the future.
This matter must be reported to Wan Luo City immediately and recommended to the Titled Demon General! (To be continued.)
