In the dream in his mind, Ning Fan's body felt like it was being suppressed by a thousand mountains. His white robes were drenched in blood. However, even though all his bones were broken, he still refused to kneel down.
His gaze was cold as he stared angrily at the black-clothed middle-aged man at the peak of the Demonic Mountain.
The entire world was drowned in black snowflakes. Standing amidst the black snow, this person did not feel out of place.
He was a demon, and the snow was demonic snow. Their temperaments matched, and there was a kind of natural dao rhythm within.
The black-robed middle-aged man's gaze was like a halberd, his expression grave and stern. His hair was messy, and he had two horns on his head, six wings on his back, and a vertical ghost eye on his forehead.
Standing at the peak of the devil mountain, he looked down at Ning Fan as if he was an ant. His eyes were expressionless and there was only disdain that came from his soul.
"Kowtow before the devil, become my slave, melt your immortal foundation, condense your ancient devil body. Why don't you kneel?!"
"What will happen if I kneel?" Ning Fan sneered.
"…" The black-robed middle-aged man was silent for a moment. There were only two possible answers to his question. One was to become a slave, and the other was to refuse.
Ning Fan was the first person who dared to ask a rhetorical question.
"If you kneel, then you'll be bestowed with the body of Devil Luo. You'll be able to slaughter your loved ones, and you'll be able to prove the path of the devil, become a supreme true devil, and help me awaken. The day I awaken, I will grant you immortality! "
"So, I won't kneel!"
Ning Fan sneered even more coldly. He would not kneel because he had already seen through the origin of that black primordial spirit from the very beginning.
That black primordial spirit was none other than Ning Fan himself. It was the amalgamation of all his negative emotions.
How much he loved Zhihe, how much he cared for his beauties and loved ones, how cold-blooded and resentful the black primordial spirit was.
He could not be devoured by the black Primordial Spirit. Otherwise, after the black Primordial Spirit took over his body, the first thing it would do would be to kill to prove its Fiendish Dao!
He didn't kneel not only because he was stubborn, not only because he didn't want to be a slave, but also because he couldn't do it!
He had once fallen into the demonic path for the sake of strength, but if the end of the demonic path was to harm his loved ones, then the demonic path could be abandoned!
"Interesting … But whether you kneel or not, it's never up to you! Hmph! "
The black-robed middle-aged man snorted coldly. He took a step forward, and his body shattered into countless black snowflakes.
The next moment, the entire world began to tremble violently as a shocking demonic aura appeared, as if it was about to shatter the sky!
In the face of the devil might, the black snow swirled in the opposite direction and went into Ning Fan's body.
Beneath Ning Fan's feet, a gigantic square-shaped formation diagram emerged out of nowhere. The black lines on it were mysterious and strange.
An irresistible devil qi poured into Ning Fan's body. In an instant, Ning Fan's eyes changed.
"Possession! Impossible! "
He could not imagine that the black-robed middle-aged man had actually transcended time and space, transcended life and death, and used a trace of Mo Luo's slave imprint in Ning Fan's body with his peerless ability to seize Ning Fan's body!
According to the black-robed man's original plan, he should be preparing to enslave Ning Fan. With his identity, it was impossible for him to take a liking to a mere Divine Transformation Realm cultivator.
However, after witnessing Ning Fan's stubbornness, he suddenly changed his plan and prepared to seize Ning Fan's body!
"Not bad, my plan has changed. Your personality suits my taste. A body that hasn't knelt before is the most qualified to be possessed by me!"
Within Ning Fan's body, another consciousness began to grow rapidly. This consciousness belonged to one of the nine great devil ancestors – Great Emperor Mo Luo!
The original plan was to enslave Ning Fan and force him to prepare the physical body of a True Immortal Realm expert for Mo Luo to descend and seize his body for resurrection.
Today, however, Mo Luo wanted to directly seize Ning Fan's body.
If the black primordial spirit tries to devour Ning Fan, he could still resist a little.
Now that his body was being seized by an immortal emperor realm expert, how could he resist even a little?!
Ning Fan's white robes that were stained with blood gradually turned into a black robe.
His consciousness gradually became blurry. He seemed to see the beautiful figures of the women in the past walking further and further away from him as if they were strangers.
He seemed to be able to imagine what kind of insane things he would do once Great Emperor Mo Luo transcends time and space to seize his body. He would slaughter all of his loved ones.
"Don't … even … think …"
Ning Fan's eyes were filled with madness. If he could not choose to live, he could still … choose death!
He could abandon his Dao, he could sacrifice his life and he could even lose his Dao and name. But no matter what, he would not allow those women to be harmed by others!
Primordial spirit, ignite!
Demon blood, ignite!
Sea of consciousness, ignite!
He ignited everything. He wanted to stop Mo Luo from seizing his body and stop the black primordial spirit from occupying his body. He wanted to destroy all of Mo Luo's plans with his death!
Moreover, if he was lucky, he could commit suicide when Mo Luo was halfway through seizing Ning Fan's body. By doing so, he would certainly suffer severe injuries and pay the price!
"Humph! I didn't expect that he would rather die than help me resurrect! How ruthless! "
After being frightened by Ning Fan, Mo Luo had no choice but to give up his plan of seizing Ning Fan's body. He turned into black snow and entered Ning Fan's body.
Since he could not seize Ning Fan's body, he could only play it safe and let his black primordial spirit slowly devour Ning Fan.
As long as Ning Fan kneels down and kowtows to the devil for the last time, everything would be done!
"Devil of heaven and earth, listen to my ancestor's command. Kneel!"
Great Emperor Mo Luo shouted coldly and uttered a devil voice from his mouth. All of a sudden, an unimaginable aura force descended on Ning Fan's body, shaking his mind.
Ning Fan's expression became blank as if he was in a daze. His body could not help but want to kowtow to the devil mountain.
Under this devil voice, he had to submit. Not only him, but even heaven and earth also had to submit to him.
This was the law of words!
Even though Ning Fan's heart was against it, he could not control his body.
At this moment, however, a wave of magic power that was as cool as Luo River suddenly poured into Ning Fan's body.
This coolness gradually swept away the trace of confusion in Ning Fan's eyes, preventing him from kneeling at the critical moment.
Great Emperor Mo Luo was slightly stunned. Then, his eyes turned cold and said. "The forbidden curse of the Luo Clan, 'Heart Cleansing Kindness Incantation'. Humph! How dare you obstruct my plans?! You're courting death! "
Just as he was about to make a move to disperse the curse on Ning Fan's body and cause the caster to suffer a backlash, the situation suddenly changed at the next moment. This time, even he could not help but reveal a shocked expression.
"Impossible! Why is there an immortal emperor in this place?! "
At this moment of imminent peril, the entire world suddenly split into two!
Half of the world was still covered in black snow while the other half of the world had turned into a world of blood and lightning with rumbling thunder and flashing lightning.
An old Daoist in red robes arrived while stepping on a red cloud. His tone was filled with sarcasm.
"A dignified great emperor of the devil race is bullying a junior at the First Step Realm. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"Who are you?!"
"I'm the immortal emperor of the future generations, Tai Su. Today, I have the chance to fight Great Emperor Mo Luo. I really have no regrets even if I die today! Young man, back off! "
The old Daoist in red robes arrived in the blink of an eye. Lightning flashed in his eyes and an immortal aura force that was slightly weaker than Mo Luo's swept across the place, dispersing all the devil qi in Ning Fan's body.
Ning Fan regained his mobility!
His eyes were filled with astonishment. This old Daoist who appeared again called himself Tai Su. Of course, he was the owner of the lightning star and emperor bone!
Since this person had appeared, he was obviously here to protect Ning Fan. Just by standing beside Mo Luo and Tai Su, Ning Fan already felt like his body was going to collapse. He could not resist the terrifying immortal aura force at all.
Immortals were people who stood on mountains.
As for these two immortal emperors of different eras, both of them had once stood at the peak of immortals!
Back off … Ning Fan could only retreat. There was no place for him to attack at all in this place.
He hurriedly retreated to one hundred thousand li * (500m per li) away and observed from afar.
Mo Luo and Tai Su stood opposite each other. The place where each of them stood was a world that belonged to them.
Mo Luo ordered snow to fall on heaven and earth while Tai Su made heaven and earth be filled with blood and lightning. With Ning Fan's insight, he could vaguely tell that the two immortal emperors had usurped the Heavenly Dao using their emperor's aura force, causing the Heavenly Dao that they were in to change.
"It turns out that when one's cultivation base reaches the Immortal Emperor Realm, they can even seize the Heavenly Dao!" Ning Fan exclaimed.
He knew that a battle between two emperors that was unknown to the world was about to break out in his mind!
It would be a grand occasion that was rarely seen since ancient times and Ning Fan was the only one who could witness it!
If ordinary cultivators could witness the dignity of immortal emperors, they would probably die without regrets. Ning Fan, on the other hand, was fortunate enough to witness two immortal emperors fighting to their death!
Mo Luo and Tai Su were wearing black robes and red robes respectively.
The world was broken into two halves. The Heavenly Dao forces of the two worlds were fighting against each other.
The black snow and the blood red lightning collided with each other and vanished into thin air.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the two worlds began to collapse. The red Heavenly Dao force dispersed. Even though the black force did not dissipate, it was also severely damaged.
The aftermath of the collision was enough to shatter the Rain World!
Tai Su took ten steps back continuously before he could stabilize himself. Each step he took would crush mountains and rivers.
His eyes faintly revealed a hint of astonishment and he said with a solemn tone.
"You're indeed worthy of being the Nine Ancestors of the ancient devils. I'm actually so much weaker than you!"
"Humph! You're not bad either. You're just an immortal emperor of the later generations but you can actually make me take half a step back. This half a step is enough to make you invincible among those at the same level as you in that era! "
Mo Luo also took half a step back. From his pale face, one could tell that this half a step was a great humiliation to him.
In ancient times, among the nine ancestors of the devil race, Mo Luo was one of the strongest nine emperors of the devil race. Those who could make him take half a step back were all outstanding geniuses without exception.
As an immortal emperor of the later generations, Tai Su was able to make Mo Luo take a step back. Just like what Mo Luo had guessed, he was also one of the few overlords in the world in his era!
Tai Su came to protect Ning Fan. Thus, he would certainly not hurt him.
As for Mo Luo, he had his own pride. He would certainly not sneak an attack on Ning Fan.
He allowed Ning Fan to watch the battle between the two emperors and even deliberately restrained the energy fluctuations from their battle, not letting them kill Ning Fan.
Compared to enslaving a junior, Mo Luo was more interested in Tai Su right now.
"You! Fight me!"
Mo Luo took a step forward. His eyes were filled with frenzied killing intent but he gradually calmed down.
From existence to nothingness was not a loss but a sublimation!
His eyes were pitch-black. At this moment, wherever Mo Luo's gaze reached, heaven and earth would be dyed black!
Patches of blood-red lightning began to crumble.
Ning Fan's expression changed greatly when Mo Luo caught a glimpse of him from the corner of his eyes. At this moment, he felt as if the depths of his soul was about to be dyed black and devoured by Mo Luo's gaze!
That was not death … It was fusing into Mo Luo's Dao and becoming a part of him!
That was destruction. It was a death that was scarier than death!
Everything would turn into nothingness and all Dao Sense would vanish into thin air!
"Use the lightning diagram to protect your body!"
Tai Su's voice resounded. A trace of lightning power entered Ning Fan's body. All of a sudden, a massive blood-red lightning diagram appeared under Ning Fan's feet on its own without Ning Fan activating it.
Moreover, the might of this lightning diagram was more than one hundred times stronger than when Ning Fan personally displayed it! Not only could it devour lightning power of the same level, but it could also devour Dao Sense and devour everything!
A trace of magic power from an immortal emperor could actually make the lightning diagram display a hundred times more power. If Tai Su were to display this lightning diagram personally, how powerful would it be?!
Ning Fan's heart was filled with gratitude. If it wasn't because of Tai Su's help, he would certainly have perished under Mo Luo's gaze.
It turned out that he was really very weak.
It turned out that the current Ning Fan could not even withstand a single gaze from an immortal emperor.
Other than the trace of lightning power that Tai Su channeled into his body, Ning Fan also sensed a trace of cool magic power that was as gentle as water.
This gentleness gave him a sense of déjà vu but he had indeed never seen it before.
"Other than Tai Su, who else is helping me …?"
Ning Fan frowned. At the next moment, all his thoughts were awakened by an earth-shattering aura force.
Mo Luo raised his five fingers to the sky and made a grabbing motion. All of the great momentum of the Heavenly Dao condensed into pieces of black snowflakes which shone with strange starlight. Then, they condensed into a black bow made of ice and snow.
On the surface of that black bow, there were millions of strange runes of the devil race.
With Ning Fan's eyesight, he could tell at a glance that those runes were some kind of special formation marks which seemed to be able to increase the might of his bow technique.
With his Dao of Formations, he could see through the veins of those runes and engrave them in his heart.
He recognized that this bow technique was the technique that Old Ancestor Six-Winged was famous for – the Star Punishing Bow!
As for Mo Luo, he did not use his star power. Instead, he borrowed the great momentum of the Heavenly Dao to change the ice and snow into stars which then evolved into the Star Punishing Bow. Ning Fan could not understand the profound principle behind this.
However, he understood that the Star Punishing Bow that Mo Luo displayed was millions of times more profound than the bow that he used.
Before Mo Luo pulled the bowstring, heaven and earth were already trembling in fear.
The power of this bow was enough to pierce through the Rain World. This was the true meaning of the world being destroyed when the bow is pulled!
To Ning Fan, witnessing Mo Luo displaying this bow technique was definitely a rare opportunity!
"Star Punishing Bow!" Tai Su obviously recognized this technique. His eyes were filled with astonishment.
"This bow technique was created by my slave, Liu Yi. In the end, he became my Dao corpse and offered his body to me. Therefore, this bow technique is naturally for me to use. Take this bow! "
The corner of Mo Luo's mouth curved into a cold and cruel smile. He spread his arms and pulled the bowstring.
His vast and terrifying magic power turned into a black starlight arrow made of ice and snow.
The mountains and rivers collapsed and trembled. The ground sank and the hollow space collapsed.
"Die!"
Mo Luo sneered and shot the arrow. Wherever the arrow touched, heaven and earth would collapse and be annihilated, turning back into primal chaos!
Tai Su's expression changed greatly. From this arrow, he sensed a trace of life-or-death might.
He clenched his five fingers and a ray of lightning light that was as dazzling as a rainbow instantly condensed into a rainbow-colored lightning armor.
The grade of this lightning armor was countless times higher than Ning Fan's. It was not even recorded in Hong Yi's secret technique.
With the might of this lightning armor, Tai Su had once withstood the attacks of a few immortal emperors at the same level as him without breaking his lightning armor.
However, when the arrow light hit the lightning armor, the world where Tai Su was at instantly collapsed!
The lightning armor that was strong enough to defend against the joint attacks of a few immortal emperors collapsed in an instant!
* Puff *
Tai Su spurted out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with astonishment. Even with his strength that was almost invincible among his peers, he actually had no power to resist Mo Luo!
The arrow broke his armor. That arrow even wanted to destroy Tai Su's Dao!
At the critical moment, Tai Su suddenly stepped on the void space. A seven-colored lightning diagram appeared under his feet. His physical body turned into a ray of seven-colored rainbow light and went into the lightning diagram, avoiding the fatal attack.
That arrow did not kill Tai Su. Instead, it hit the millions of hollow space behind him, stirring up a terrifying storm.
After a long time, the storm disappeared. Tai Su got out of the lightning diagram. His old face was as pale as a piece of golden paper. There was a bloody hole in his chest. The arrow pierced through his heart and it could not heal.
"Cough cough … I've lost …"
"You're not weak anymore. When I was at my peak, there were only one or two people among the nine devil ancestors who could survive a single attack from me." Mo Luo frowned and said. It was really out of his expectation that Tai Su could not be killed with a single arrow.
"However, you're not at your peak now …" Tai Su smiled shamefully. His eyes were fixed on the devil mountain in the distance as if he was referring to something.
"Don't worry. Even so, I've only used thirty percent of my strength. You should be proud of yourself for being able to survive an attack that uses thirty percent of my strength!"
Ning Fan's heart shuddered. He had always thought that immortal emperors were the supreme experts. Besides, from the conversation between the two of them, Ning Fan could also tell that Tai Su was definitely a top-notch immortal emperor of the same generation.
However, an immortal emperor like him was almost killed by an arrow from Mo Luo who used thirty percent of his strength.
This Mo Luo was so strong. It was too terrifying!
Immortal emperors … were not the strongest!
"Great Emperor Mo Luo, you're very strong. However, this young man is my successor after countless generations. He's the first junior who condensed my Tai Su Lightning Star. He can be considered as half a disciple of mine … You can't hurt him! "
"Stubborn. This time, I won't show any mercy … Soul Extraction!"
Mo Luo's eyes turned cold. He clawed at the void space with his five fingers. At the next moment, traces of soul power were extracted.
He clawed at the ground and extracted the soul of the earth!
He clawed at the void space and extracted the soul of the void!
He clawed at the sky and extracted the soul of the sun, moon and stars!
He clawed at the sky a second time and extracted the soul of the Heavenly Dao!
Each time he extracted the soul, it would be more profound than the previous time.
It was Ning Fan's first time witnessing a soul extraction technique other than the soul extraction of the earth. Obviously, the soul extraction technique he used was just the lowest level.
After extracting all the souls of the heavens and earth, Mo Luo's aura force nearly doubled. Under such an aura force, the injured Tai Su felt even more suffocated.
"This is more or less equivalent to fifty percent of my magic power when I was at my peak. You must die!"
Mo Luo's voice reverberated across heaven and earth. His voice echoed endlessly like thunder.
The two worlds merged into one and were once again under his control.
Even Lightning Emperor Tai Su did not have the qualifications to seize Mo Luo's world!
