The Sky Thunder Bamboo Pagoda had a total of one hundred floors. The pagoda was filled with dead spirits that used thunder to condense souls. Most of them had low intelligence.
There were no Void Refinement Realm undead spirits on the first four floors. From the fifth floor onwards, Void Refinement Realm undead spirits would appear. However, most of them were Void Glimpse Stage lightning spirits.
The higher one went, the stronger the dead spirits would be. After reaching the tenth floor, there would be a Void Inquiry Stage lightning spirit!
Within the ten levels, there would be no difficulty, but above the ten levels, it would be difficult!
Even though he had experienced the Void Inquiry Stage, he was just a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert after all. If he were to face a true Void Inquiry Stage expert, he would have no chance of winning!
He pressed his palm on the door of the Black Lightning Tower. Lightning flashed and Ning Fan's figure drifted into the tower.
He appeared in a black desert on the first floor of the Black Lightning Tower.
The desert was boundless and filled with hazy thunder mist. The thunder spiritual energy here was extremely dense, making it the best place to cultivate thunder techniques.
However, it was a pity that Ning Fan did not come here for secluded cultivation. He was in a rush and it was impossible for him to stay here for too long.
To his left, he could vaguely sense the fluctuations of the battle through the misty thunder mist.
Ning Fan scanned the area with his spirit sense. There were more than ten undead spirits fighting each other sixty thousand li * (500m per li) away to the west.
The dozen or so dead spirits were roughly humanoid in shape, but they had only one eye and sharp fangs. Their entire bodies were naked and covered with scales. They had no sexual characteristics and were neither male nor female.
According to Hong Yi's information, only when the dead spirits broke through the Deity Transformation Realm could they gain intelligence and develop a pair of eyes, basically looking like humans.
All of the dead spirits were at least at the Nascent Soul Level. The strongest among them was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Level.
However, as long as they didn't break through to the Soul Formation stage, they wouldn't have any intelligence, and their behavior would be no different from beasts.
These dozen or so dead spirits were fighting over the corpse of a Soul Formation dead spirit.
Undead spirits could advance by devouring other corpses.
Whoever could devour this Soul Formation cultivator's corpse would be able to increase their cultivation by leaps and bounds!
"Undead spirits fighting for corpses …"
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with a cold light. He took a step forward and appeared sixty thousand li * (500m per li) away.
The smoke dissipated, and he appeared in the middle of the dead spirits. He stepped on a dead body with a cold look in his eyes.
Seeing Ning Fan appear out of nowhere, the ten or so undead spirits thought that he was here to snatch the corpse. All of their eyes were filled with rage.
The dead spirits were enraged. They opened their bloody mouths and spat out lightning bolts, letting out earth-shattering roars.
Roar!
Each of the lightning rays was powerful enough to kill an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. However, when so many of them struck Ning Fan's body, they disappeared mysteriously.
Since Ning Fan possessed the Tai Su Lightning Star and condensed the lightning diagram, he could even devour the lightning light of the Void Glimpse Stage. Why would he be afraid of the lightning of a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator?
With a flick of his finger, a blood-colored arc of lightning shot out. In an instant, ten thousand blood-colored lightning bolts shot down.
The dozen or so dead spirits had never seen such a scene before, and all of them fled in terror.
However, could a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator escape from Ning Fan's hands? The answer was no.
When the lightning struck, all of the undead spirits were instantly killed, leaving behind a severely injured Peak Nascent Soul Realm undead spirit. Ning Fan had purposely not killed it.
The undead spirit of Yuan Yan was frightened and his only eye was full of fear. He was not far from the Semi-God Realm and he also had some intelligence.
He had lived on the first floor for countless years but he had never seen any undead spirit with Ning Fan's strength.
Even the lightning lord of the first floor who possessed Half-Step Void Refinement Realm strength was not as frightening as Ning Fan's!
Without giving it any chance to beg for mercy, Ning Fan directly and coldly searched its soul and memory.
After all, what he got from Hong Yi was only partial information.
In order to obtain accurate information about this place, searching its soul and memory was undoubtedly the fastest way.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ning Fan put down the undead spirit of Yuan Yan who had turned into an idiot. Then, he pointed his finger and destroyed it.
From the broken memories of the undead spirit, Ning Fan had obtained a lot of information other than the complete map of the first floor.
There were a hundred floors in the lightning tower. The dark golden bamboo leaves on each floor were guarded by the lightning lord. The lightning lord was the strongest undead spirit on this floor!
Undead spirits could not devour spiritual items but they could use the spiritual qi that the bamboo leaves gave off to cultivate.
Therefore, the bamboo leaves on each floor were occupied by the lightning bamboo.
If he wanted to obtain the bamboo leaves, he would just have to kill the lightning lord.
Ning Fan's eyes fell on the corpse of the Divine Transformation Realm undead spirit. He pointed his finger and destroyed the corpse, obtaining a trace of primordial lightning which he refined into his lightning armor.
Only Divine Transformation Realm undead spirits had primordial spirits and could produce primordial lightning.
A trace of primordial lightning was only enough to improve the lightning armor of the second level of the silver grade by a tiny bit.
If he wants to break through to the third level of the silver grade, he would probably have to kill a lot of Divine Transformation Realm undead spirits.
Of course, if he kills Void Refinement Realm undead spirits, he would naturally be able to break through to the third level of the silver grade. Perhaps he would only need to devour a trace of Void Refinement Realm primordial lightning to break through to the third level of the silver grade.
Other than primordial lightning, there were actually other gains which were beyond Ning Fan's expectation.
After killing the undead spirits, there was no Dao Fruit or demon core. However, a silver lightning jade that was the size of a fingernail condensed.
With just a glance, Ning Fan was certain that even though this silver jade contained a lot of lightning power, it was useless to him. Only the undead spirits in this place could devour it.
Even though it had no use for him, he still kept it first.
"The lightning bamboo on the first floor of the Black Lightning Tower is at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm. I can destroy it with just a lift of my palm. "
Ning Fan took a step forward. After confirming a direction, he moved forward.
There was no benefit in killing Nascent Soul Realm undead spirits. If he did not kill them, it would be a waste of time.
Once he encounters a Divine Transformation Realm undead spirit, he would kill them with a wave of his hand and devour their primordial lightning mercilessly.
Along the way to the end of the eastern region of the first floor, Ning Fan had killed twenty-four Divine Transformation Realm undead spirits. Only two hours had passed.
Twenty-four traces of primordial lightning only allowed his silver armor to advance by less than one-fifth to the third level.
He would probably need to kill at least one hundred Divine Transformation Realm undead spirits to upgrade his lightning armor.
Other than primordial lightning, Ning Fan had already obtained twenty-five pieces of silver jade.
At the end of the eastern region was a black bamboo forest.
Above the bamboo forest, the thunderstorm did not stop. Inside the thunderstorm, there was a gigantic ferocious beast which gave off a Peak Divine Transformation Realm aura force.
On top of the ferocious beast's head, a burly man in black robes was sitting cross-legged. He was cultivating while holding a dark golden bamboo leaf.
Sensing Ning Fan's arrival, the burly man suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes flashed with ferocious lightning and snorted coldly.
"Humph! Human-shaped undead spirit? I've never seen you before. You must be a newly advanced Divine Transformation Realm undead spirit, right? You're just an Early Divine Transformation Realm undead spirit. How dare you trespass into my forbidden area? You're courting death! I wonder if your lightning corpse will taste good if I kill you and eat it! "
The burly man licked his lips and stood up all of a sudden. Without giving Ning Fan any chance to explain himself, he used his five fingers to grasp lightning. Traces of silver lightning gathered on his palm and instantly turned into a gigantic silver-winged lightning bird. Then, it flew towards Ning Fan while letting out a shrill cry.
The aura force of a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert shook the entire place!
The lightning might of the lightning bird was enough to make any Peak Divine Transformation Realm expert tremble in fear!
He was the Thunderbolt Master. In the first level, he had the power of life and death. Anyone who offended him could be killed!
If he wants to devour Ning Fan, why would he need a reason?
"…" Ning Fan did not have the mood to talk nonsense with this person.
In his eyes, the so-called lightning lord of the first floor was just an ant that he could kill with a raise of his hand.
Even though the silver-winged lightning bird's aura force was powerful, when it arrived in front of Ning Fan, it exploded without any warning. Before it could even get close to Ning Fan, it was already absorbed and devoured by the lightning diagram.
The burly man in black robes was shocked. He was well aware of how powerful his lightning bird technique was.
In this first floor of the lightning tower, there was certainly no one who could withstand a single attack from him!
"You're not an undead spirit of the first floor. You're … a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert! You must be an expert from the lower world of the second floor! "
"…"
Ning Fan did not answer him. He just took a step forward. Amidst the ten thousand lightning bolts, he disappeared without a trace, as if he had disappeared from this world.
At the next moment, he suddenly appeared in front of the burly man in black robes. He appeared above the ferocious beast's head out of nowhere and threw a punch.
His physical body was at the Fourth Level of the Jade Life Realm. In addition to the extreme strength of the Corpse Devil Body, this punch was infinitely close to the attack of the Golden Body Refining Realm. The destructive force of his fist light shook heaven and earth, making the burly man in black robes feel like dying.
Under Ning Fan's punch, the burly man in black robes felt that he would certainly die!
Lightning flashed on both of his fists. He braced himself and clashed against Ning Fan's fist light.
However, after just one clash, the bones in both of the burly man's arms were completely shattered. He was sent flying backwards while spurting out blood. His immortal veins were also destroyed. Apparently, he was severely injured by Ning Fan's punch and was already on the verge of death!
"I-It's impossible! Even a Void Glimpse Stage expert might not have such a strong punch force … You're not a Divine Transformation Realm expert. You must be a Void Refinement Realm expert! "
The burly man in black robes was terrified. Where was his usual domineering and arrogant demeanor as the lightning lord?
He turned into a ray of lightning and fled. He even abandoned his natal beast!
Not only did he abandon his pet beast, but he also directly performed a mysterious hand seal to activate the demon core of his pet beast to self-detonate. A dignified Peak Divine Transformation Realm giant beast exploded into layers of blood mist!
The destructive power of the explosion could even injure a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert!
This man was truly ruthless. Unfortunately, even if he sacrificed his tamed beast, he still couldn't hurt Ning Fan. In the end, he could not escape!
Inside the layers of blood mist, Ning Fan's body was protected by his star power.
His eyes flashed with cold light as he pointed at the sky and stopped the burly man's teleportation lightning.
His five fingers clawed at the air and the lightning around the burly man in black robes suddenly collapsed. His body fell from the sky and his primordial spirit was on the verge of shattering.
"Spare me! Upper Cultivator, please spare my life! "
The burly man in black robes begged for mercy. However, how could Ning Fan spare him?
When he wanted to kill Ning Fan, did he ever give Ning Fan the chance to beg for mercy?
* Rumble *
Ning Fan stomped on the ground and directly destroyed the man's physical body. Then, he waved his palm and sucked the man's primordial spirit into his hand. Then, he searched his soul mercilessly.
After letting out a series of miserable cries, the burly man's consciousness was gradually erased and he became an idiot. Ning Fan, on the other hand, obtained a large amount of information again. There were even quite a lot of information about the second floor.
"Break!"
With a point of his finger, the burly man's primordial spirit was destroyed. A trace of pure silver primordial lightning power that was dyed with gold was devoured by Ning Fan.
This trace of Half-Step Void Refinement Realm primordial lightning was at least equivalent to ten traces of ordinary Divine Transformation Realm primordial lightning.
In the ruins, a dark golden bamboo leaf gently floated down and landed on Ning Fan's palm. The first leaf was in his hands!
Other than the first leaf, Ning Fan also obtained a lightning jade. Even though it was also a silver jade, it was surrounded by faint golden light. Its lightning power was more than ten times stronger than ordinary silver jades.
As for the silver jades, there were a total of twenty-six of them.
Ning Fan's gaze swept across the ruins of the battlefield. Other than the corpses of beasts and the sea of blood, there were no other spoils of war.
He did not stay any longer. At the end of the bamboo forest, he found the teleportation formation that led to the second floor and stepped into it.
Two hours later, Ning Fan flattened the second floor of the lightning tower and killed 35 Divine Transformation Realm undead spirits including the lightning lord.
Another two hours later, he broke through the third floor and killed 41 Divine Transformation Realm undead spirits.
Three hours later, he flattened the fourth floor and killed another 55 Divine Transformation Realm undead spirits.
As for the dark golden bamboo leaves, he obtained 4 of them.
As for the silver jades with lightning power, he obtained 157 of them.
After devouring 157 traces of Divine Transformation Realm primordial lightning, his Primordial Lightning Armor had broken through to the third level of the silver armor. It could now defend against Late Divine Transformation Realm attacks.
As he was about to enter the fifth floor, Ning Fan's eyes turned slightly solemn. In a place with Void Refinement Realm existences, he naturally would not dare to be careless.
After stepping into the teleportation formation, a flash of lightning flashed and Ning Fan appeared on the fifth floor of the lightning tower.
He appeared on a barren desert. As soon as he appeared, he immediately sensed that there was a strong qi hiding one hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away from him.
"Who's hiding here?!"
The Divine Star on Ning Fan's glabella flashed. The might of the Tai Su Realm spread out and forcefully pushed an old man who was hiding in the void out of the void.
After sensing that old man's cultivation base, Ning Fan's eyes turned grim. This old man was actually a Mid Void Refinement Realm old monster!
After being pushed out of the void by Ning Fan, the old man opened his sleepy eyes and yawned. Then, he scolded angrily.
"Damn it! Who's so bored as to disturb my sleep?! I am Lei Shiyi. I'm resting here just fine. Who's the one making a ruckus outside?! "
