His Essence Blood was slowly replenished, and his white hair turned black. His appearance was the same as before.
After several months of recuperation and under the treatment of the Black Star which had five natal stars, Ning Fan's injuries were completely healed despite how severe they were.
"Black Star's Art is indeed profound. Without this Art, the injuries I suffered this time aside from the damage to my blood essence, it would have been impossible to recover my vitality …"
Ning Fan exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi and moved his muscles and bones. After making sure that everything was fine, he revealed a satisfied smile.
Looking at the golden crystal, Ning Fan no longer hesitated and decided to consume it.
This crystal was filled with the power of time, enough to reverse time a hundred times.
Its energy was so great that it definitely couldn't be consumed in one go. It needed to be tempered with quite a few spirit medicines.
This kind of harmonizing technique was rarely mentioned in Ancient Chaos' memories. However, Xi Ran had mentioned quite a lot of it in the Pill Art that she had given him.
Ning Fan patted his storage pouch and took out a jade bowl. He used tens of spiritual herbs to grind them into a medicinal liquid. Then, he soaked the crystal in the medicinal liquid.
The crystal emitted faint golden steam and slowly melted into the medicinal liquid.
At first, the liquid was dark green in color, but after the crystal melted, it turned into pure gold.
Ning Fan lifted the jade bowl. His eyes lit up like torches. He gently took a sip of the medicinal liquid into his stomach and immediately put down the bowl to refine it.
Just by drinking a mouthful of the medicinal liquid, he felt as if his entire body was on fire, and his blood was boiling.
The heat waves in his body continued to increase, and his skin actually turned red and purple.
Ning Fan could not help but feel a little shocked. He was extremely familiar with this kind of situation. It was clearly the sign of one's body exploding after absorbing too much medicinal power!
He only drank a mouthful of the medicinal liquid, but this mouthful of medicinal liquid contained at least ten thousand units of magic power, which was equivalent to eating a hundred Thunder Xuan Pills!
Even though Ning Fan had achieved 180,000 units of power by combining the three forces into one, his immortal veins nearly exploded because of this mouthful of medicinal liquid.
Fortunately, even though he had reached the critical point, his body did not explode after all. He still had a sense of propriety about how much medicinal liquid he should be able to refine in one go.
"Refine!"
Ning Fan closed his eyes to refine the medicinal liquid, trying his best to absorb the golden power within it.
He finally realized that he had completely underestimated the power of the crystal on the seventh floor.
Seven days later, Ning Fan absorbed all of the medicinal power and his magic power increased by 11400 units.
He took another big gulp of the medicinal liquid and refined it for seven days. His magic power increased by 12200 units.
The third mouthful, the fourth …
Two months later, Ning Fan had completely refined all of the medicinal liquid. His magic power had increased by a total of 109400 units.
Consuming the golden crystal did not weaken the medicinal power, nor did it cause his magic power to be unstable.
After all, this crystal contained the purest Power of Time, which could not be compared to medicinal pills.
Looking at the sticky medicinal liquid that remained on the jade bowl, Ning Fan licked the bowl clean without caring about his image. His magic power increased by another 500 units.
After keeping the jade bowl, Ning Fan examined his body with a fiery gaze.
After consuming the crystal, his magical power broke through from 28320 units to 138220 units!
A single piece of crystal could help Ning Fan increase his magic power by one hundred thousand units. This item was really heaven-defying!
In the void, countless silver fire clouds suddenly appeared, and the Fire Tribulation rained down.
The heavenly tribulation which was enough to make an ordinary Divine Transformation Realm expert's scalp go numb was directly swallowed into Ning Fan's stomach, allowing the Stele of Sun and Moon to devour it.
After looking into his body, he suddenly frowned.
He discovered that there was something else in his immortal meridians.
A trace of … golden blood!
That trace of golden blood was extremely tiny. If Ning Fan did not look carefully, he would definitely not notice that there was something extra in his body.
He tried to examine the golden blood trace carefully. However, as soon as his spirit sense enveloped the golden blood trace, it immediately disappeared without a trace as if it had melted into his blood.
"What is that?!"
Ning Fan frowned. He repeatedly activated his magic power but did not feel any additional power. He also did not notice any side effects of his magic power becoming sluggish.
This is strange.
This trace of golden blood obviously appeared after he consumed the crystal. However, he did not know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing …
"Could it be the mark that the Lost World Palace planted in the crystal?!"
Thinking of this possibility, Ning Fan's scalp immediately went numb. He did not like being hunted by a group of immortals.
After repeatedly confirming that the Golden Blood that had disappeared from his body did not seem to be a mark, Yang Kai's expression became cloudy.
The sudden increase in his magic power was a good thing. However, Ning Fan could not feel happy at all. If he did not find out what the golden blood was, he would not feel at ease.
After thinking for ten days, Ning Fan kept looking into his body, waiting for the golden blood to appear again.
On the tenth day, a trace of golden blood was formed in Ning Fan's immortal veins again.
This time, Ning Fan did not give the golden blood a chance to dissipate. He directly used his spirit sense to draw it out of his fingertip.
Sensing the trace of golden blood on his fingertip, Ning Fan fell into deep thought. His expression gradually became relaxed.
"So this golden blood is a trace of the power of time that has fused into my blood. Let's call it the 'Blood of Time' for now. This blood shouldn't be harmful to me. It will only benefit me. With the help of this blood, I can use a trace of the power of time … "
Ning Fan heaved a sigh of relief. Then, his eyes turned solemn. A trace of purplish-golden mist coiled around his fingertip.
He looked at the mist in silence. In the past, he did not understand why the mist was purplish-golden. Now, he understood it.
The purple color did not change but the golden color became a little deeper.
The purple color was the Dao of the Immortal Sovereign. The golden color was the power of time!
This technique was what Ning Fan comprehended on his own. It was to imitate samsara.
Only now did he understand that he was imitating the power of samsara from the perspective of time. The power to erode everything was based on the golden time.
An inch of time is an inch of gold …
After keeping the Blood of Time into his body, Ning Fan calmed himself down. This Blood of Time could help increase the destructive power of his Wind Mist Finger. It was not a disaster but a blessing.
A piece of crystal could increase one hundred thousand units of magic power and it could also produce a trace of Blood of Time. For a moment, Ning Fan really had the urge to steal the remaining six pieces of crystals.
He finally understood why the dignified Hong Yun Rain Sovereign would steal the crystals. He was afraid that Hong Yun was not interested in the magic power within the crystals but in comprehending the power of time.
Even though the crystals were good, one must be alive to enjoy them.
Putting aside the fact that Ning Fan could not steal the remaining six pieces of crystals, even if he could, it would definitely be unwise.
The seventh floor of the Lost World Tower was destroyed because of the loss of the crystals. However, Void Fragmentation Realm experts rarely came to the Lost World Tower. Who would know that the crystals were missing?
If the first six floors of the Lost World Tower are also destroyed, the fact that Ning Fan stole the crystals would probably be exposed immediately.
It was obviously unwise.
Ning Fan put away all his thoughts and calmed himself down, trying to adjust his condition to his peak.
The shortcoming of his magic power had been made up for. His divine, demon and devil powers had all broken through to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm.
Next, Ning Fan would try to fuse the three powers like fusing three types of divine intent.
The rain intent, mountain intent and Fu Li intent realm were fused into a painting by Ning Fan. That intent realm was the reminiscence of the Seven Apricot City. It was a kind of determination to freeze all the past in the cycle of reincarnation.
With the experience of fusing the intent realm, it would not be too difficult to fuse the three powers.
Ning Fan's goal was to break through the limitations of the races and erase all traces of the divine, demon and devil races.
From today onwards, he was neither a member of the divine race nor a member of the demon race nor a member of the devil race …
He was just Ning Fan!
Three days later, Ning Fan's eyes lit up and he shouted coldly. "Condense!"
As soon as he uttered this word, black snow began to fall from the sky within ten thousand li * (500m per li). Ning Fan's body was enveloped in purple light, as if he was wearing a purple robe. A plum tree appeared behind him. It had blood-red plum blossoms and a pitch-black tree trunk.
This painting used three types of Divine Wills. The three types of divine intent were completely different and their natures were completely opposite. However, they were fused into one. It was all because of Ning Fan's obsession and memories.
He was never obsessed with his own race. He was only obsessed with whether he could have the strength to protect his family.
Be it divine, demon or devil … No matter which path he chose, he would still be Ning Fan in the end.
"Fuse!"
The three powers began to fuse. Since the Ancient Chaos Era, no one had been able to achieve such a feat. Who would have thought that there would be another Ning Fan who cultivated three powers at the same time in the future of cultivation!
Devil qi and demon power fused while demon power and magic power overlapped.
For a moment, devil qi surged from Ning Fan's body. In the next moment, he was filled with divine qi while in the next moment, he was filled with dense demon qi.
The three completely different auras disappeared without a trace in the end.
One month later, Ning Fan opened his eyes. His eyes did not have the compassion of the divine race, the bloodthirst of the devil race or the treachery of the demon race.
What he had was just an easy-going expression as usual.
"I am me!"
He suddenly stood up. After fusing the three powers, his magic power was still the dominant one.
However, his magic power had reached 293130 units. He had already broken through to the Late Divine Transformation Realm and was only a step away from the Peak Divine Transformation Realm!
With just a thought, he could turn these three hundred thousand units of magic power into devil qi and demon power at will.
The path he was walking on was not the path of gods, demons or devils. Instead, it was a completely different path. Before the Ancient Chaos Era, someone had walked on this path. After the Ancient Chaos Era and the Great Ancient Emperors died, no one else walked on this path.
This was the ancient Dao of Cultivation!
Fiery clouds appeared in the sky again. This time, before the fiery clouds could condense, they were shattered by Ning Fan's palm and devoured all of the silver flames of the heavenly tribulation.
The heavenly tribulation this time was enough to severely injure a Late Divine Transformation Realm expert. However, with Ning Fan's current strength, he would not care about such a degree of injury.
"I'm just a step away from breaking through again. I might as well break through to the Peak Divine Transformation Realm in one go!"
Ning Fan patted his storage pouch and held a Peak Void Refinement Realm Dao Fruit in his hand.
There were five Dao Fruits that Wei Xuan had given him. One was at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm while the other four were at the Peak Void Refinement Realm.
If Ning Fan consumed this Dao Fruit with his Mid Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base, his body would only explode. If he consumed it with his Late Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base, he could barely absorb one third of the medicinal power of the Dao Fruit.
A Peak Void Refinement Realm Dao Fruit contained at least fifty thousand units of magic power. With Ning Fan's current cultivation base, it was too wasteful to consume a Dao Fruit of this level. It would be best if he consumed it when he was about to break through to the Void Refinement Realm.
However, this was an urgent matter. In order to achieve another breakthrough, he could not afford to waste it.
After using tens of spiritual herbs to harmonize the power of the Dao Fruit, Ning Fan swallowed the fruit and his magic power increased by nearly twenty thousand units.
When his magic power reached 312500 units, Ning Fan broke through the calmness in a single breath. The domineering aura force of a Peak Divine Transformation Realm cultivator rose from his body. Even the stars beneath his feet trembled.
Peak Divine Transformation Realm!
Above the hollow space, the silver flames of the heavenly tribulation took shape once again.
The destructive power of the fire tribulation this time was already comparable to the fatal attack of a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert. It was not to be underestimated.
This time, the fire tribulation was enough to make a Void Insight Realm expert suffer!
Ning Fan no longer relied on the Stele of Sun and Moon to overcome the tribulation.
Black devil flames swirled around his body. With a grasp of his five fingers, the soul of the star and the earth was sucked into his hand and swallowed into his body.
After using the Soul Extraction Technique, Ning Fan's aura force had completely increased to the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm.
If he could be said to be killing people who were at a higher level than him in the past, the current him was at the same level as the seven venerated beings of the internal sea. The increase in his strength was certainly not trivial.
"Samadhi Fire Palm!"
Ning Fan sent out a palm strike. A one thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) fiery palm soared into the sky and went against the fire clouds.
The so-called blood clouds of the heavenly tribulation were directly reduced by one-tenth after being hit by this palm strike.
Without relying on any magic treasures to block the tribulation, Ning Fan's eyes revealed a fearless expression. All of the magic power in his body gathered in the center of his palm.
He recalled Yan Zhongze's palm force and the palm strike that destroyed the Southern Prison Country. Inwardly, he understood more and more things …
Originally, there was only one palm imprint in the center of his palm. However, as Ning Fan channeled his magic power into it, the second palm imprint immediately emerged.
"Break!"
This palm imprint was already two thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) in size.
At the moment when it hit the tribulation clouds, the remaining tribulation clouds immediately collapsed as if they were dried twigs.
This palm strike had exhausted all of his strength. Only Void Refinement Realm cultivators could use this palm strike.
The truth proved that Ning Fan's application of the Samadhi Fire Palm was a few streets ahead of Revered Flame.
Based on Reverend Yan's talent, it was impossible for him to form the second layer of the palm print.
"As expected of a Mortal Void Magic Technique."
Ning Fan opened his mouth and sucked in all the scattered flames into his stomach. Then, he sat in a cross-legged position to recover his magic power.
There wasn't much time left until he left the Pill Tower. Rather than cultivating, it was better to stabilize his peak Soul Transformation cultivation.
After spending 126 years together in the Lost World Tower, his bone age was already close to 500 years old.
Ning Fan did not dare to say that his innate talent was unparalleled but it was definitely enough for him to be proud of himself.
However, at this stage, Ning Fan became even more aware of the difficulty of breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm … When one's cultivation base reaches the Peak Divine Transformation Realm, the effects of consuming an Early Divine Transformation Realm Dao Fruit would be reduced by half.
From the Peak Divine Transformation Realm to the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm, it would probably be very difficult to increase the magic power of two hundred thousand units.
…
A year was a very short period of time for cultivators.
However, during this one year, Lu Qing did something that made him regret endlessly.
He realized that Bei Xiaoman and Ning Fan had an ambiguous relationship. Thus, he made the decision to report the news to the Lost World Palace.
However, he did not expect that the news would bring his mistress so much trouble.
In the southern tower, Lu Qing stared at the unruly group of people in the main hall. His heart was filled with self-blame.
"Lu Qing! Are you the one who asked them to come? "Bei Xiaoman's brows were cold. She did not like the feeling of being betrayed.
"Fourth Mistress, it's my fault. If I knew this would happen, I would never dare to do such a thing … I regret it!" Lu Qing's face was filled with remorse. The reason why he reported the relationship between Bei Xiaoman and Ning Fan was because he did not want his mistress to fall deeper into trouble.
However, he did not expect that it would bring him even more trouble …
"What's the use of regretting?! Get them out of here! " Bei Xiaoman clenched her fists tightly. If it was not because she knew that Lu Qing meant well, she would certainly not let him go.
Her beautiful eyes scanned across the main hall. There were a total of 49 people in this group and all of them were at the Divine Transformation Realm.
The leader of the group was a young man in black robes. His name was … Ximen Ye!
He was the person that Bei Xiaoman hated the most. That kind of disgust came from the bottom of her heart. It was completely different from the hatred she had for Ning Fan.
"Ximen Ye, I won't go with you!" Bei Xiaoman said coldly.
"Hehe. You are my fiancée. Do you think I will allow you to say no when I bring you away? Bei Xiaoman, let me tell you. With your unruly personality and your low potential, I, Ximen Ye, will never like you. Our marriage is just a condition for the Lost World Palace and the Ximen Clan to form an alliance. Moreover, I had obtained the Great Elder's permission to descend to the lower world today. You should know that if the Great Elder agrees to it, even your mother will not be able to protect you! "
The young man's eyes were cold. He did not care about Bei Xiaoman at all. However, when he heard that his fiancée was fooling around with another man in the lower world, his heart was filled with killing intent. He could not wait to kill Bei Xiaoman right now.
"If you follow me obediently, I won't punish you. If you don't, I will break your arms and legs and bring you back to the Northern Heaven. You can choose for yourself! "
"How dare you!"
Lu Qing and Shi Bing were infuriated. Even if this was a marriage arranged by the Great Elder for Bei Xiaoman, even if this marriage was related to the Lost World Palace and even if the Ximen Clan was extremely powerful, they would never allow their mistress to be humiliated!
The two of them took a step forward. Their Divine Transformation Realm qi force swept across the area. Vaguely, their qi force seemed to be in harmony with each other.
Shi Bing's qi force, in particular, had been raised to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm.
Among the 49 people of the Ximen Clan, 30 of them were Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivators. When Shi Bing and Lu Qing's qi force collided with them, their qi immediately became chaotic.
Their eyes were filled with surprise. They were not surprised at Lu Qing but at Shi Bing.
Didn't they say that the puppet protecting Bei Xiaoman was an Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivator? How could it be a Mid Divine Transformation Realm cultivator?!
As for the other 19 people, none of their expressions changed. There were 9 Mid Divine Transformation Realm cultivators, 5 Late Divine Transformation Realm cultivators, 3 Peak Divine Transformation Realm cultivators and 2 Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivators.
The black-robed young man, Ximen Ye, was a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator. Moreover, his body was just his separated soul!
This man is not like Zi Chuan or Lin Su … His potential is unparalleled in the Northern Heaven. He is one of the Four Sons of the Northern Heaven.
He calls himself … Emperor Xi!
Ximen Ye's expression did not change when Shi Bing and Lu Qing's qi force collided with him. Instead, his demonic black eyes flashed with a hint of disdain.
"Bei Xiaoman, you are wearing out my patience. I heard that the person you fell in love with in the lower world is a Mid Divine Transformation Realm cultivator. His combat power is comparable to a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert … His name is Zhou Ming, right? If you don't come with me, I will … kill him! "
"Who fell in love with Zhou Ming?! Wait! You can't kill him! "
Bei Xiaoman panicked. She knew how cold-blooded and terrifying Ximen Ye was.
"As expected, you care about him a lot …"
Ximen Ye's eyes became even colder. He was definitely going to be cuckolded.
His gaze swept across Lu Qing and Shi Bing as if he was looking at a bunch of clowns.
His gaze carried a demonic power that was as dark as the night. It pierced through the void and at the next moment, Lu Qing and Shi Bing suffered a heavy blow. Both of them coughed out blood and were sent flying. They were actually severely injured by Ximen Ye's gaze!
Severely injuring Shi Bing with just a gaze. What exactly is his cultivation base?!
Bei Xiaoman suddenly felt a sense of helplessness.
"You … have reached the Void Fragmentation Realm …"
Yes, Ximen Ye's true body had already broken through to the Void Fragmentation Realm.
Even though his separated soul only had the strength of a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator, it was still very powerful. It could even put up a fight against an Early Void Refinement Realm cultivator.
"Humph! Who do you think I, Ximen Ye, am? Am I the same as you, only at the Divine Transformation stage! Among the four young ladies of the Bei Family, only your eldest sister and second sister are worthy of my attention. The other girls are not worth mentioning! "
Ximen Ye's words were cold. He took a step forward and reached out his hand to grab Bei Xiaoman.
Bei Xiaoman tried to dodge, but Ximen Ye's gaze landed on her. She felt a sweetness in her throat and blood trickled down her throat.
His eyes were filled with resentment.
Not just anyone could bully her. No!
"Miss!"
Stone Warrior and Lu Qing were both shocked, especially Lu Qing, who was the most regretful.
If he had known that the Young Miss would suffer such humiliation, he would never have reported this matter to Northheaven.
She was the dignified fourth miss of Northsky, but she was being bullied and humiliated by the XiMen Clan, moreover, it was the Great Elder's idea. What was the Great Elder thinking?
Was he going to be captured and brought back to the Ximen Clan to be used as a human cauldron?
* Boom *
Just as the claw was about to land on Bei Xiaoman's body, a ghost-like figure in white robes suddenly appeared in the main hall. He grabbed Bei Xiaoman's waist and with a flash, he dodged Ximen Ye's claw attack and appeared at the side.
"Who are you?!" Ximen Ye's expression turned cold when he saw the white-robed young man who suddenly appeared. If he was not mistaken, the speed of that white-robed young man had already reached the Early Void Refinement Realm.
"I am … the human cauldron that she keeps … Zhou Ming," Ning Fan said coldly.
There was a trace of blood on his face. Even though his speed was comparable to a Void Refinement Realm cultivator, he was still injured by Ximen Ye's claw attack.
This man's strength is really strong … He is different from all the other geniuses that I have met in the past!
