In the vast sky, ferocious beasts were as numerous as the clouds. Every single one of them was charging at Ning Fan and Hong Yi with reckless abandon!
Ten thousand Nascent Beasts, a hundred Wild Beasts and four Early Stage Imaginary Beasts!
Hong Yi's blood-red eyes revealed a cold killing intent. With a flick of her hand, all the ferocious beasts that got close to her were killed by the lightning. Regardless of whether they were Nascent Soul Beasts or Wild Beasts, none of them could withstand a single strike from her.
With just one step, she strangely appeared in front of a Faux Beast.
Xiao Chen pointed with her finger, and rings of scarlet lightning spread out in the air, striking the Faux Beast. The lightning was too fast; the Faux Beast could not dodge at all.
In the blink of an eye, the void beast's flesh was scorched. It howled as it fell into the clouds, the pain difficult to understand.
A dignified Early-stage Faux Beast had actually been severely injured by the red-clothed woman in a single exchange!
Roar!
The remaining three Faux Beasts immediately realized that Hong Yi was their greatest enemy and surrounded her. They let out furious roars that shook the clouds.
The three beasts were all tens of thousands of zhang in size. They spat out black lightning from their mouths and formed a hundred thousand sharp divine weapons. Killing intent surged as they hacked towards the red clothes.
Every divine weapon was comparable to a Peak Nascent Level Treasure! Even an Early Void Refinement Realm cultivator would find it difficult to defend against the attacks of one hundred thousand Nascent Treasures. At that moment, the light of treasures covered the entire sky!
However, the corners of Red Dress's mouth curled up into a disdainful smile. She flipped her fair palm and said coldly.
"Lightning-Wielder Art, Wielding Five Thunders!"
Her soft palm was delicate as if it had no bones, but the power of a flip seemed to be enough to overturn the heavens.
At this moment, Hong Yi seemed to have become the master of all lightning. With a flip of her palm, 100,000 lightning soldiers trembled in fear. In the next moment, the power of lightning flowed out and shattered!
With a flip of his hand, he overturned the heavens and broke the combined attack of the three Void Beasts!
Controlling the Five Thunders with a single palm was the same lightning-controlling secret technique that had strangely snatched away the Soul Shattering Whip!
Even though Hong Yi had injured one beast in an instant and defeated three beasts with brute force, she did not feel proud at all. There was only disdain in her eyes. To her, an early-stage Faux Beast was just an ant, unable to withstand a single blow. Even if she won, she would not be happy.
Her eyes shifted to Ning Fan and said coldly, "You will deal with that injured void beast. As for the ten thousand lightning spirit ants, you will eliminate them."
"Are you looking down on me?"
Ning Fan's eyes flickered. What Hong Yi asked him to deal with was just a severely injured Void Refinement Realm beast. Even so, Hong Yi still did not expect Ning Fan to be able to kill this beast …
In Hong Yi's eyes, the three semi-finished puppets were merely passable.
As for Ning Fan's strength … He had yet to attain the Void Refinement Realm. Perhaps, he could not even get Hong Yi's approval.
"The daughter of the Thunder Sovereign is indeed powerful and arrogant … The way you look at puppets and magical treasures is indeed very sharp. However, the way you look at me doesn't seem to be that sharp … Underestimating me is a mistake …"
Ning Fan muttered to himself in his heart. However, he did not say anything else. To prove his strength, he did not rely on his mouth. To win the respect of others, he did not rely on arguing.
He used his spiritual will to control the puppets, and the three puppets instantly turned into smoke and escaped. They surrounded the injured virtual beast and fiercely smashed down with their fists. The earth-shattering fist auras shattered the ground.
The mountains and rivers collapsed just like that!
Unfortunately, the three puppets lacked a sure-kill technique. Although they had beaten the Void Beast to the point that its blood flowed like a river and the earth shook, they were still unable to kill the ferocious beast with a single strike.
That void beast was first heavily injured by the red-clothed lightning, and then it was besieged by the three of them like they were beating a dog to death. It finally went crazy, and it was enraged, its ferocious nature erupting.
It ignited its bloodline and its aura skyrocketed. For a moment, it actually shook off the three puppets and fought them with great difficulty. Blood dyed the mountains and rivers red, but it still didn't yield.
Hong Yi did not underestimate the three puppets. At the end of the day, puppets were inanimate objects. The three puppets might not be able to kill a virtual beast that was going all out.
However, she had underestimated Ning Fan!
Ning Fan left the injured Void Beast to the three puppets.
Ning Fan himself took a step forward and stood in front of the ten thousand beasts.
His thin and weak body was like an insurmountable mountain. No ferocious beast could take half a step over his body.
Ning Fan's sword sense swept across the area again and again. The ten thousand Nascent Soul Realm beasts were instantly killed by him in just a few moments. The roars of the beasts in the surroundings were as loud as thunder.
Ning Fan's eyes were cold. That coldness came from his heart that was as hard as iron and stone after experiencing the sea of blood for a long time.
A breath later, there were only a hundred ten thousand zhang tall wild beasts left in front of him.
Ning Fan's speed in killing the Nascent Soul Realm beasts made Hong Yi's eyes move slightly. "Oh? This young man's sword sense isn't weak. He can even kill Nascent Soul Realm beasts in an instant … However, many Divine Transformation Realm cultivators can also kill them at such a level … Unless he can withstand a hundred Wild Beasts, he is still just an ordinary Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator in my eyes. "
As soon as her voice fell, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes for the first time at the next moment.
She saw that Ning Fan did not show any fear in the face of a hundred Wild Beasts. He clawed at the ground with his five fingers and his aura force swept across the area. All of a sudden, the soul of the earth was extracted. Countless plants withered and the mountains and rivers decayed!
As for Ning Fan who had devoured the soul of the earth, his aura force skyrocketed. It had already reached one million units. In terms of magic power alone, he was not any weaker than ordinary Void Glimpse Stage cultivators. Unfortunately, his cultivation realm did not improve at all. He was still at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm.
Even the Earth Soul Extraction Technique could not allow a cultivator to break through the bottleneck of the Void Refinement Realm.
Even so, it was Hong Yi's first time being surprised by Ning Fan.
"Soul Extraction Technique? This young man can actually comprehend this technique. I have underestimated him … "
With the help of the secret technique, Ning Fan's magic power increased tremendously. Looking at the one hundred Wild Beasts, his eyes became even colder.
He touched his glabella and the White Lightning Whip appeared in his hand.
The long whip lashed out as if it was whipping all living beings. Its entire body gave off a devil might that could not be looked at directly!
One whip, ten whips, one hundred whips!
One hundred whips were lashed out by Ning Fan almost in an instant, giving off deafening sounds of thunder and flashes of lightning.
Even though the whip was lashing at the air, endless blood-red lightning bolts appeared and struck the bodies of the one hundred Wild Beasts!
In addition, all of the one hundred Wild Beasts were lightning spirits. Thus, they were completely restrained by the White Lightning Whip.
In just an instant, the demon cores of the one hundred Wild Beasts were all struck by the lightning bolts. All of their defenses were useless to the White Lightning Whip.
The demon cores that were as hard as black iron were crushed by Ning Fan's whip. Twenty-one Wild Beasts lost their demon cores on the spot and died a violent death!
The rest of the beasts also suffered different degrees of injuries. Their qi was greatly weakened. Moreover, many of the Wild Beasts were showing signs of dropping to the Nascent Soul Realm because their demon cores were damaged!
All of a sudden, a deep sense of fear appeared in the eyes of the one hundred Wild Beasts.
Originally, they would not be afraid of any experts at the same level as them. However, when they met Ning Fan's cold eyes, all of the ferocious beasts felt as if they were in a world of ice and snow … a bone-piercing cold!
It was as if they were not ferocious beasts but Ning Fan was the devil beast with monstrous ferocity!
What a terrifying White Lightning Whip! He had killed twenty-one Wild Beasts with a single strike!
Ning Fan looked at the lightning whip in his hand and revealed a satisfied expression. No matter what, the White Lightning Whip that Hong Yi had refined again was much more convenient to kill people and shatter their spirits without the restriction of drawing treasures.
* Roar *
Even though the eighty Wild Beasts were fearful, they still quickly surrounded Ning Fan from all directions and attacked him with lightning power with all their might.
Wind, thunder, rain and lightning were summoned. Each of them had their own unique techniques. The destructive force of the joint lightning attack of eighty Wild Beasts was astonishing!
Even a Void Refinement Realm attack was nothing more than this!
Ning Fan looked at the wind and lightning that filled the sky without any fear. He raised the whip and pointed it to the east, slaughtering twenty Wild Beasts in the east.
Even though Ning Fan's physical body was at the Fourth Level of the Jade Life Realm, he should have been severely injured when the lightning struck him.
However, at this moment, ninety-nine black stars suddenly appeared in the sky.
Starlight sprinkled down. Ning Fan's eyes were like stars and his body was like a devil god. No matter how the lightning struck his body, his long hair danced in the wind and he remained unscathed.
No. He was not unscathed! It was just that the speed at which the attacks of mere Wild Beasts caused damage to Ning Fan's body was far slower than the recovery speed of the starlight!
"Star Healing Technique!!"
Hong Yi's blood-red eyes were filled with surprise. She had never expected that Ning Fan actually possessed such a heaven-defying ability.
If it was the Soul Extraction Technique, Hong Yi would only be surprised because she also knew that technique.
However, the Star Healing Technique … was a truly supreme secret technique. Even a Void Fragmentation Realm expert would not be able to comprehend it. Even a Life Immortal Realm expert might not be able to comprehend it!
The fact that Ning Fan actually knew a secret technique of this level really shocked Hong Yi.
"This time, I've really underestimated him … He has ninety-nine natal stars. With so many stars protecting him, he might not be able to kill a Void Refinement Realm expert but I'm afraid no Void Glimpse Stage cultivator can kill him either!"
Hong Yi finally began to take Ning Fan seriously!
Ning Fan was still unaware of all these. He just turned his head and looked to the west. The killing intent in his eyes was enough to drown the twenty Wild Beasts in the west!
* Roar *
The roars of the Wild Beasts were filled with indescribable fear!
They couldn't understand! They couldn't understand why Ning Fan's physical body remained unscathed and indestructible after enduring the attacks of eighty Wild Beasts!
How could they understand?! How could they understand?!
Ning Fan had condensed ninety-nine natal stars. Even if he is besieged by Divine Transformation Realm cultivators, he would certainly be undefeatable!
"There are still forty Wild Beasts left …"
Ning Fan glanced at the severely injured Void Beast. Even though it was on the verge of death, it managed to injure a Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppet.
An incomplete spiritual puppet is indeed very weak compared to its peers of the same level …
He knew that if he drags on any longer, there was a possibility that the ferocious beast would drag one of the spiritual puppets to perish together with it. Then, the losses would outweigh the gains.
After keeping his lightning whip, Ning Fan looked at the remaining forty Wild Beasts around him. His eyes flashed with cold light.
"Five Graves of Dragons Technique!"
When the five dragons die, the black dragon lives! When the five elements die, the five graves live!
The tombstones that were not part of the five elements were able to restrain the five elements of heaven and earth. As for these Wild Beasts, all of them had lightning spirits. Their bodies were formed from pure metal spirits. Thus, they were restrained by the five graves!
"Suppress!"
Ning Fan flicked his fingers and circulated his magic power. Five ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) large black dragon tombstones suddenly appeared in the sky. As Ning Fan willed it, countless shadows of the tombstones were formed and they fell upon the beasts!
When the shadow of a tombstone fell, it was as if Mount Tai was falling from the sky!
Under the suppression of countless tombstones, the forty Wild Beasts were immediately killed and their blood flowed like a river!
In just a few breaths' time, the last forty Wild Beasts had also turned into minced meat and rotten bones. They were all killed under the five graves!
One hundred Wild Beasts' demon cores which contained lightning power were naturally taken away by Ning Fan as his spoils of war.
Ning Fan consumed a few Spirit Restoring Pills and quickly refined them. With the tip of his feet, he dashed towards the severely injured Void Beast.
He directly appeared in front of the Void Beast in a domineering manner. Relying on the protection of the starlight, he swung his fists and bombarded the Void Beast's body!
Even though the Void Beast had burned its blood and fought to the death, it had yet to break through to the Mid Void Refinement Realm after all. Even though its attacks were powerful and the injuries it suffered were also severe, all of them were healed by Ning Fan's Black Star Technique.
As for Ning Fan's attacks, they landed squarely on the Void Beast's body, causing countless wounds on its body to split open.
In addition to Ning Fan's forceful restraint, the three spiritual puppets recklessly attacked the Void Beast's vital parts. In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Void Beast's strength was exhausted. It could no longer defend itself and died in the end!
The last attack was made by Ning Fan's finger!
The purple mist shrouded the sky. The illusory purple-gold mist covered the sky.
Within the wind and sand, there was a terrifying power that could turn everything into ashes and dust into dust!
It directly turned the Void Beast into dust!
He did not use the Myriad Sword Style. After all, the Zhou Clan did not seem to be on good terms with the Rain Palace. It would be unwise to recklessly use Yun Tianjue's sword move.
He also did not use the Star Punishing Bow Technique. The power of that shot would deplete his magic power and put him in a weakened state for a short period of time.
He purposely used the Wind Mist Finger because Hong Yi had told him that she fancied his Wind Mist Finger and she needed his help.
Since that was the case, Ning Fan did not mind using the Wind Mist Technique to let Hong Yi see the power of this technique. That way, she would know the value of befriending Ning Fan.
After killing the Void Beast, Ning Fan obtained a Void Beast's demon core and kept it in his storage pouch. Then, a cold and arrogant female voice resounded behind him.
"Your strength is quite good … You are the first Divine Transformation Realm junior who has impressed me."
The one who spoke was, of course, Hong Yi.
Ning Fan had killed ten thousand Nascent Soul Beasts, one hundred Wild Beasts and one Void Beast. Hong Yi had also killed three Void Beasts.
"Miss, you flatter me. I could barely kill one Void Beast with the help of the three puppets. As for you, you killed three of them alone. You are the one who impressed me. "Ning Fan asked himself honestly. Hong Yi was indeed very strong. She was much stronger than Yue Lingkong.
"Humph! In your eyes, don't tell me that I don't even have the strength to kill three Early Void Beasts instantly? Are you mocking me?! "
Hong Yi actually showed a displeased look towards Ning Fan's compliment. Her temperament was really strange and hard to please.
Even though her eyes were filled with displeasure, she did not vent her anger on Ning Fan. Instead, her hands were stained with blood as she tossed three Void Beast's demon cores to Ning Fan.
"For me?" Ning Fan was surprised. Even though this Hong Yi was just using him, she was really generous. She gave him three Void Beast's demon cores just like that.
"Since you are working for me, I will certainly not treat you unfairly. However, these are just trash demon cores. They are not considered good stuff. You don't have to reject them! "
Hong Yi's cold eyes did not have any emotion. She did not even spare a glance at the Void Beast's demon cores.
If this demon core is leaked to the outside world, it would certainly cause Void Refinement Realm old monsters to fight for it.
However, in Hong Yi's eyes, it was just trash …
Ning Fan was instantly speechless. It seemed like Hong Yi's previous argument that the Spirit Shattering Whip was trash was not considered as an insult. After all, in her eyes, all Void Beasts were trash. Her standards were too high …
It would be a waste for him to reject three Void Beast's demon cores that were delivered to his doorstep.
Ning Fan nodded his head and kept the three demon cores.
As for Hong Yi, she took out a clean silk handkerchief and calmly wiped away the bloodstains on her hands.
Her blood-red eyes were still filled with arrogance. However, she suddenly spoke to Ning Fan coldly for the first time.
"You … are not trash."
"…" Ning Fan was speechless. He understood that Hong Yi's words were meant as a compliment.
However, if an ordinary person were to hear it, they would probably think that she was scolding him …
She was an incomparably arrogant woman. What matched her arrogance was her insanely strong strength.
If it wasn't necessary, Ning Fan did not want to be entangled with this woman. As for Hong Yi, she was still as cold as ice. She was not interested in anything in the world, including Ning Fan.
No one broke the silence.
After killing all the lightning spirit ferocious beasts, the two of them took a short break. Then, they turned into rays of travelling light and ascended to the peak of the central lightning bamboo.
At the peak of the mountain, black lightning rumbled. Even Ning Fan and Hong Yi had to pay 120% of their attention to avoid being struck by the black lightning to prevent themselves from getting hurt.
Under the tempering of the lightning, an ancient black lightning formation that was one hundred thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) large was connected to the ground. It was glowing with rolling lightning.
Ning Fan was proficient in formation techniques. He squatted down slightly and carefully touched the formation light on the ground. After a while, he confirmed that this lightning teleportation formation indeed led to the upper level of the Thunder World.
Hong Yi did not lie to him … Even though she had no reason to lie to him, he still took the unnecessary step of checking it.
He was a little overly cautious. However, Hong Yi did not feel disgusted by his cautious attitude.
Hong Yi had seen through countless people. She could naturally tell that Ning Fan had actually seen through the structure of the formation diagram of this lightning teleportation formation.
Her opinion of Ning Fan rose once again. After all, this lightning formation was a grand formation at the Peak Mortal Void Realm. In the Rain World, there were not many people who could see through it.
Hong Yi knew that her formation techniques were not as good as Ning Fan's!
"You know about formations?"
"I know a thing or two."
"Humph! Being too humble is a hypocrite. If you know a thing or two, you won't be able to see through a Peak Mortal Void Realm formation! "
"Hypocrite, huh …? I don't think so. This is my way of survival." Ning Fan shook his head.
"I don't care about what your way of survival is. However, let me remind you that there will be three difficult steps before you enter the Black Lightning Tower in the upper layer of the cloud world. If you want to break through the three difficult steps, you must not be hypocritical or pretentious. You must face your heart honestly. "
Hong Yi was just coldly stating the facts.
"The three difficult steps contain opportunities. With your abilities, it won't be difficult for you to pass them. It's also possible for you to obtain opportunities. At least, if you face your heart honestly, there won't be much danger. What you need to pay attention to is the Black Lightning Tower. Remember, I need seven bamboo leaves. If you can't get seven bamboo leaves, it means that your strength is only at this level. "
"Is she trying to provoke me?" Ning Fan's eyes flickered slightly. The woman in front of him seemed to be purposely provoking his competitive spirit.
Is she afraid that Ning Fan would not use his full strength and hold back his strength which would cause him to fail to get seven bamboo leaves?
"I'm just telling the truth." Hong Yi's face was as cold as a rock.
"Is that so …? Then, you can look forward to seeing how many bamboo leaves I get."
Ning Fan was not provoked and he did not have any competitive spirit either.
He had always given his all when he did things. He would never hold back.
Half a day later, Ning Fan adjusted his breathing to his peak state. With a step, he stepped into the lightning teleportation formation.
Immediately after, Hong Yi made a series of hand seals and activated the formation map, teleporting Ning Fan to the cloud realm in the upper layer.
The scenery around him changed rapidly. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ning Fan had already appeared above a one million zhang * (3.33m per zhang) sea of black lightning.
He stepped on the black clouds. The soft clouds did not give him much of a sense of reality.
Ning Fan scanned his surroundings. In the far east, he saw a gigantic tower with rolling black lightning bolts piercing through the clouds. It was so tall that he could not see the top of it. It seemed to be the Black Lightning Bamboo Tower.
On this sea of clouds, there were countless low-grade lightning spirits and ferocious beasts. However, the strongest among them was only at the Nascent Soul Realm. Divine Transformation Realm and Void Refinement Realm beasts did not seem to live here.
When they sensed Ning Fan's unusually strong baleful qi, countless ferocious beasts turned pale with fright. They scattered in all directions and fled for their lives.
Ning Fan did not chase after those low-grade ferocious beasts. Instead, he looked at the far east with a serious expression.
He did not take a single step forward. Instead, he suddenly turned his head around. His left eye flashed with purple light as he stared at the far west and said with a cold smile.
"There is no tower in the far east. The real Black Lightning Tower is obviously in the west. How dare you display your slight skill in front of me with such a low-grade illusory technique?! Show yourself! "
As Ning Fan roared, his aura force fluctuated. His surging baleful qi actually shattered the surrounding scenery into pieces and dissipated like the reflection of the moon in the water.
A muffled groan came from a dark place. It seemed like someone who was hiding in the dark was injured by Ning Fan.
The black tower in the far east disappeared.
In the middle of the desolate sea of clouds in the far west, a black tower slowly emerged!
Countless lightning force formation lights emerged from the surroundings and surrounded Ning Fan!
The lightning light turned into a black palace. Ning Fan was no longer in the desolate sea of clouds. Instead, he was standing in a black lightning palace that looked like a maze!
Only by walking out of this palace could he head to the Black Lightning Tower in the far west!
The empty palace was ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) wide.
On the brick wall of the palace, there was a plaque with a row of words written in black ink.
'The first formation, the True Illusion Stage'!
Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. Right now, this palace and the previous illusions were the True Illusion Stage.
Previously, when he released his baleful qi, he had slightly injured the person who was hiding in the dark. That person was probably the one who controlled this stage.
"I am the White Lightning Realm Spirit. You are just an ant from the lower world. How dare you injure me? You are courting death! I will definitely let you die in the True Illusion Stage! "
In the dark, a furious voice that sounded like an old man attacked Ning Fan with an Early Void Refinement Realm aura force. However, it was extinguished by Ning Fan with a flick of his sleeve.
"You?" Ning Fan sneered.
"Don't you dare be so arrogant! Witness the power of my formation! "The mysterious expert shouted angrily and activated the True Illusion Formation.
Immediately, two figures of women whom Ning Fan had never expected to appear appeared in front of him.
"Kill one of them and you can pass the first stage! If you can't, you will be trapped in this formation forever! "The mysterious expert sneered.
"This joke isn't funny!" Ning Fan's eyes turned cold.
Not everything could be used to set up a stage!
The two figures that appeared in front of him were Zhihe!
When Ning Fan observed them carefully, he was surprised to find out that these two Zhihe were somewhat similar. They seemed to be illusions but also seemed real at the same time.
One of them was connected to Zhihe's luck through the Heavenly Dao. It could be considered as Zhihe's true body. If this true body dies, Zhihe's luck would be greatly damaged!
As for the other one, it was an illusion which could be killed at will.
If he kills Zhihe's true body by mistake, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As for Ning Fan, he did not have the intention to kill Zhihe at all.
"Don't force me to take action after dispersing my wife's luck. Otherwise … you will regret it!" Ning Fan's tone became even colder. His words were filled with ice-cold killing intent.
"Regret? Who do you think you are? How can you make me regret?! "The mysterious elderly man burst into laughter with extreme disdain.
"You … must die …"
Ning Fan closed his eyes and said no more.
There were three stages in front of the Black Lightning Tower. The first stage was the True Illusion Stage …
…
In the lower level of the Black Lightning Realm, Hong Yi stood in front of the teleportation formation. Her blood-red eyes seemed to have sensed something.
"That damned vile creature actually woke up at this moment! With this vile creature in the way, I'm afraid it will be extremely dangerous for that young man to break through the three stages! "
"Humph! If I knew this would happen, I would have killed this vile creature in the past! "
"I wonder if that young man Zhou Ming can break through the three stages under the situation where this vile creature is personally controlling the formation!"
"True Illusion Stage, Immortal Mortal Stage and Dao Life Stage … These three stages are the ancient formations of the White Lightning Realm. They communicate with the Heavenly Dao and are extraordinary. Now that the White Lightning Realm Spirit is causing trouble, that young man will have to pay a great price if he's careless. He might even implicate his loved ones … When the White Lightning Realm Spirit was still alive, no one could pass through the three stages of Immortal Emperor Tai Su's tests. "
"Zhou Ming! Even though this young man is just an ant, I wonder if he can surprise me again! "Hong Yi said coldly.
