Ning Fan gently took a deep breath. Lightning Lord Tai Yue's body refinement realm was at the Second Level of the Golden Body Refining Realm, which was enough to make his breath stagnate.
Even with his body refinement realm at the peak of the Jade Life Realm, in addition to the limit of strength of his corpse devil body, he was still slightly inferior to Tai Yue.
The black-tower-like man was glowing with a pure golden light. His body seemed to have become a golden man, and it was engraved with patterns of the Great Dao.
He stood there like an insurmountable mountain. Even Lei Shiyi would not be able to withstand his punch and would definitely be severely injured!
As for Chu Nanfeng and the others, they were forced to retreat dozens of steps before they could stabilize themselves. They were completely unable to resist Tai Yue's domineering aura.
"Not only is this man a Golden Body Cultivator, but he has also reached the second level of the Golden Body Realm … This man is very strong! This person's blood qi carried a hint of gold, which made me faintly understand … The Dao of Body Refinement starts with the tenth layer of Silver Light, followed by the Silver Bone, tempering the bones, followed by the Jade Life, tempering the Life Soul, and finally the Golden Body, tempering the blood qi … Blood qi, huh … "
Ning Fan muttered to himself. His eyes showed no signs of fear as he took a step forward.
Every strand of Lightning Lord Tai Yue's aura was enough to suppress mountains and rivers and lock the vast sky.
However, as Ning Fan made a grabbing motion with his five fingers, pieces of the golden body's aura force shattered like glass. A cracking sound was heard as the golden body was broken.
"Alright, I'll take your punch! If I am not injured, I want a drop of your Golden Body Blood! "
"Golden Body Blood? Sure! That is, if you can survive my punch. "
Seeing that Ning Fan had broken his aura force and even accepted his challenge, Tai Yue's eyes flashed with a hint of approval. He stared deeply at Ning Fan.
He could tell that Ning Fan's true body refinement realm was at the Peak Jade Life Realm. He was still far from attaining the Golden Body Realm. However, with his strange corpse devil physique, he could put up a fight against a true expert at the First Level of the Golden Body Realm.
The reason why Ning Fan asked for Tai Yue's blood was because he wanted to comprehend the difference between the Golden Body Realm and the Jade Life Realm.
It was just a drop of blood. If Ning Fan's strength could satisfy him, why not give him a drop of blood to help him comprehend the Golden Body Refining Realm?!
"Take this!"
Tai Yue took a step forward, and his aura reached its peak at this moment. It was as sharp as a sword, and it caused countless dead spirits to retreat in a hurry. Regardless of friend or foe, the battlefield was emptied!
Countless mountain peaks were suppressed by his imposing aura, and they seemed to have been hacked by an axe. Enormous ridges collapsed, rivers stopped flowing, and everything seemed to have been flattened by an immortal hammer.
A trace of scarlet fierceness rose in Tai Yue's eyes. His body seemed to be made of gold as his essence covered the sky. As soon as the fist light moved, it immediately produced an earth-shattering sound of collapse.
A beam of pure golden fist light streaked across the sky, shattering layers of clouds. The void was crushed at this moment, and the ground began to collapse as if there was an earthquake.
That ray of fist light approached him from afar. In just the blink of an eye, Ning Fan took a step forward and his eyes were filled with monstrous battle intent.
This punch was very powerful! It was enough to suppress Lei Shiyi with one punch!
So this is the strength of an existence that is almost unrivalled among Void Inquiry Stage experts in the Heavenly Lightning Tower?!
"Lightning Armor, appear!"
All of a sudden, a lightning armor with golden lightning patterns appeared around Ning Fan's body. His white robes and golden armor made him look like a heavenly general.
The moment the lightning armor covered his body, his physical defense immediately increased to a terrifying level.
The Third Level Golden Armor could withstand a Void Pierce Stage attack. He had already obtained one hundred thousand traces of primordial lightning for no reason along the way to the 22nd level. He was already halfway to the Fourth Level Golden Armor.
With this level of defense, he could even ignore the attacks of ordinary Void Pierce Stage old monsters. The attacks of Void Inquiry Stage old monsters could not break this defense at all!
The fist light that was enough to suppress Lei Shiyi blasted on the lightning armor, producing a terrifying explosion that sounded like the end of the world.
Wind and lightning were blown away. The ground was swept away by the fist light, turning it into a decaying and desolate place. However, Ning Fan who was standing at the center of the fist light was not injured at all. He was in an invincible state!
His defensive power had already reached a terrifying level under the nourishment of countless traces of primordial lightning!
After a long time, the fist light dissipated. Ning Fan dispersed his lightning armor and said indifferently.
"I have already withstood your fist light. It's time for you to fulfill your promise!"
* Hiss *
Even Tai Yue could not help but gasp in astonishment. As for the other experts, all of them wore astonished expressions.
All of them could see how powerful Tai Yue's punch was. It was enough to instantly kill any Void Glimpse Stage expert and suppress a Void Inquiry Stage expert who was at the same level as Lei Shiyi.
Ning Fan had actually withstood such a powerful fist light with his lightning armor!
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this lightning armor was not a magic treasure. Instead, it was a type of magic technique. It was a magic technique that allowed him to condense primordial lightning to form an invincible lightning armor!
They finally understood why Ning Fan had been collecting primordial lightning everywhere. It must be because of this mysterious and mysterious secret technique!
A deep sense of frustration rose in Lightning Lord Tai Yue's heart. He closed his eyes and remained silent.
He had used all of his strength in this punch. He did not use any body technique.
However, judging from this attack, even if he uses a powerful body technique, he would not be able to break the defense of the lightning armor.
The defense of this lightning armor was already heaven-defying. Even a Void Pierce Stage expert would find it difficult to withstand it.
"You can go up to the twenty-third floor!"
Tai Yue opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with reluctance and dejection. He used his finger like a sword and pierced it across his arm, keeping a drop of golden blood into a jade bottle. Then, he gave Ning Fan all the gifts he had prepared earlier.
The blood of the Golden Body Refining Realm only flowed in the tiny blood vessels on the skin.
With Tai Yue's current body refinement realm, he had only condensed five hundred drops of golden blood.
Ning Fan nodded his head. Even though Tai Yue was overbearing, he was still a person who was willing to admit defeat.
He kept the gifts and swallowed the primordial lightning. Then, he glanced at the golden blood in the jade bottle indifferently. Without saying anything else, he stepped into the teleportation formation of the twenty-third floor.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you have broadened my horizons again … The defense of that Primordial Lightning Armor is really heaven-defying. Tai Yue cannot break it and Ying Long probably won't be able to do so as well. I'm afraid Fellow Daoist is already invincible in the battle against Ying Long. "
"I'm just invincible … Ying Long can't hurt me but I might not be able to hurt him either. For example, I can defend against Lightning Lord Tai Yue's attacks but I might not be able to hurt him. Even if I use my killing sword with sovereign qi, I might not be able to break the defense of his physical body … At the end of the day, I'm still limited by my cultivation realm … If I want to eliminate Tai Yue, perhaps I can only use the third finger … "
"What third finger?" Lei Shiyi asked doubtfully.
"Nothing. This is the last floor of the lightning palace. The next floor is where Ying Long is …"
Ning Fan and the others stopped in their tracks. In front of them, they could vaguely see a heavily guarded undead spirit expert.
As soon as they saw Ning Fan and the others, they immediately shouted.
"Stop right there! Lightning Lord Mo Lei has given an order. If Fellow Daoist Zhou wishes to use the teleportation formation, you need to answer a question of the lightning lord. No matter if the lightning lord is satisfied with your answer, as long as you answer, you can pass through the teleportation formation! "
As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of Divine Transformation Realm cultivators wearing armors and holding halberds rushed towards them and surrounded Ning Fan and the others. The ones who took the lead were twenty Void Glimpse Stage experts and one Void Inquiry Stage expert.
The one who spoke was none other than Void Inquiry Stage expert of the lightning palace. Even though he had Void Inquiry Stage cultivation base, he was not Lightning Lord Mo Lei but the great commander of the lightning palace.
"Answer a question? Don't tell me you want to fight me in a different way?! "Lei Shiyi revealed his yellow teeth and smiled wretchedly. However, his eyes were filled with battle intent.
Ning Fan did not express his opinion. He just glanced at the cultivators who were surrounding him and waved his hand to stop Lei Shiyi who was eager to fight.
"What question do you want me to answer?" Ning Fan asked the great elder.
"Someone, bring the lightning lord's warrant, gifts, brush and ink!"
The great commander's eyes flashed with a solemn expression. He then ordered his men to bring countless items over.
There were dark golden bamboo leaves, primordial lightning, silver grade and gold grade lightning jades. All of them were naturally gifts.
Apart from that, there was also someone who knelt in front of Ning Fan with a wooden tray which was filled with brush, ink, paper and inkstone.
Apart from that, there was also a warrant written on the paper. There was only one word on it …
'Lightning'!
"What kind of bullsh * t question is that?!" Lei Shiyi curled his lips. Although he looked frivolous, his eyes were filled with a hint of seriousness as if he had seen through something.
"I'm sorry. The lightning lord is currently in seclusion. He only said that he wanted to ask Fellow Daoist Zhou a question and left this word behind. He did not specify what he wanted to ask Fellow Daoist Zhou specifically." The great commander said apologetically.
"It's alright. I understand what he means."
The purple star in Ning Fan's left eye shone faintly. His eyesight could almost see through all the traces of magic power in the word 'lightning'.
Every stroke of this' Thunder 'character contained Dharmic powers. Every stroke contained the Lightning Lord Mo Lei's Lightning Dao.
However, the words that were drawn by the lightning power were not smooth and smooth. There was a hint of sluggishness between the lines and it could not be completed.
The reason why the lightning power could not be perfected was because Mo Lei had yet to advance to the Void Pierce Stage. He was still a Void Inquiry Stage cultivator.
This word was a question.
Mo Lei wanted to ask Ning Fan how he could break through the shackles of the Dao of Lightning and reach the bottleneck of the Void Pierce Stage!
"Interesting."
Ning Fan did not write down any words. He just picked up the paper with the word 'lightning' and tore it into pieces.
"How dare you!"
The great commander's eyes flashed with anger. He thought that Ning Fan was too arrogant.
Lightning Lord Mo Lei had prepared a generous gift to send Ning Fan to the twenty-fourth floor. All he wanted was to ask Ning Fan a question. Moreover, he would let Ning Fan go regardless of whether the answer was satisfactory or not. His request was not excessive.
However, Ning Fan ignored Mo Lei's request and tore the warrant into pieces in public. It was undoubtedly a slap to his face.
A warrior would rather be killed than humiliated. Even though the great commander knew how strong Ning Fan was, he still wanted to fight him.
At this moment, a sigh of enlightenment suddenly resounded from the lightning palace in the distance. His indifferent voice was like a ray of lightning that cut across the vast sky.
"Gong Bo, stop! I'm very satisfied with Little Friend's answer … He's right … "
The one who spoke was none other than Lightning Lord Mo Lei. As soon as his voice fell, he turned into an elderly man with the demeanor of an immortal. His eyes were filled with emotion.
"Little Friend's Dao Comprehension is indeed extraordinary … Your future will certainly be limitless!" The elderly man cupped his fists and expressed his gratitude.
"I also feel gratified to be able to help you." Ning Fan cupped his fists and returned the greeting. What he said made countless experts feel puzzled.
"Erm … Why didn't the lightning lord get angry when this young man tore the warrant of the lightning lord but thanked him instead … What kind of answer did this young man actually give to the lightning lord?"
The great commander was puzzled. Similarly, countless experts were also puzzled.
Among the experts present, only the wretched Lei Shiyi seemed to have understood something.
Lei Shiyi could vaguely see through the true meaning of Mo Lei's question. He was asking about how to comprehend the Dao of Lightning and attain the Void Pierce Stage.
However, Lei Shiyi could not understand Ning Fan's answer. What does he mean by tearing the paper into pieces?
Ning Fan and Mo Lei were talking in riddles. Only the two of them knew the answer.
After that, under Mo Lei's order, all of the experts sent Ning Fan and the others to the teleportation formation respectfully.
However, before they left, Ning Fan suddenly smiled meaningfully at a certain direction and muttered to himself.
"Interesting. Are we going to have two more helpers on this trip …?"
After everyone left, the Great Commander asked suspiciously.
"May I ask what question did you ask Fellow Daoist Zhou, Lightning Lord? What was his answer? "
"I asked him how to break through to the Void Pierce Stage." In front of his subordinates, Mo Lei spoke bluntly without any shame.
"W-What?! The lightning lord is a dignified Void Inquiry Stage expert. Moreover, he is almost invincible among Void Inquiry Stage experts. Why would he ask a junior who has not even attained the Void Refinement Realm for such a question?! He is just a Divine Transformation Realm expert. How would he know how to break through to the Void Pierce Stage? "The great commander became even more puzzled.
"Even though this young man's cultivation base is at the Divine Transformation Realm, his understanding of the void has already broken through to the Void Inquiry Stage. With your Dao Comprehension, you won't be able to see it … Besides, what I'm especially concerned about is his understanding of the Dao of Lightning. The biggest problem I face when I break through to the Void Pierce Stage is not the understanding of the void but the understanding of the Dao of Lightning. This old man's Dao of Thunder has always been incomplete. I heard that this young man has cultivated the secret technique of Lightning Emperor Tai Su. Therefore, I probed him and didn't have much hope. However, this young man's answer really surprised me … After cultivating the Dao of Thunder for ten thousand years, this old man has finally seen the light today! "
"That Fellow Daoist Zhou merely tore off the lightning lord's token. How did he answer my question?"
"This is the best answer … I asked the question by writing on the paper. The word 'lightning' is all of my Dao of Lightning. As for the paper, it is the Heavenly Dao … My lightning lies within the Heavenly Dao. However, under the Heavenly Dao, I'm just an undead spirit. No matter how hard I study the Dao of Lightning, there will always be a trace of flaw in my understanding of the Dao of Lightning. I will never be able to compare to a living person. This is the will of the Heavenly Dao. It cannot be resisted … In fact, this flaw cannot be made up for unless I reincarnate and cultivate again. I know all of this very well … Therefore, no matter what Fellow Daoist Zhou wrote on the paper, it is trapped within the Heavenly Dao and can't help me … That's why he tore off the paper, tore off my Dao of Lightning and tore off the Heavenly Dao! "
"T-This …" The commander seemed to have understood something but was also puzzled at the same time. He only felt that the principle behind this small action of tearing off the paper was too deviant!
"His answer is only one! If the Dao obstructs me, I will abandon the Dao! If the Heaven obstructs me, I will tear the Heaven apart! "This was his answer! I have cultivated lightning for ten thousand years. Today, I finally had an epiphany. I was too obsessed with my identity as an undead spirit, too obsessed with lightning and too obsessed with the Heaven … All these attachments should be abandoned! The only thing that needs to be firm is the determination to break through to the Void Pierce Stage! "
As soon as Mo Lei finished speaking, a vast aura force gradually rose.
He was not far away from breaking through to the Void Pierce Stage!
"Men, prepare for battle! We are going to battle now and attack Ying Long! "Mo Lei suddenly gave an order, shocking countless experts.
"W-What?! Could it be that the lightning lord is attacking Ying Long to help Zhou Ming?! "The commander said in surprise.
"That's right. This young man has solved my doubts. I will return him a favor."
"Then why didn't the lightning lord go with him directly …?"
"If I go with him, I will be like Lei Shiyi, kneeling before him … Even though I can help him, I am not his subordinate. I have my own pride! Are you the same as well … Tai Yue?! "
As soon as Mo Lei finished speaking, his eyes suddenly turned cold and he looked at the hidden void space at the side.
Immediately, a burly man with a black pagoda appeared in that hidden place. He laughed heartily. He was Lightning Lord Tai Yue.
"Haha! Old Mo's eyes are really sharp. You actually noticed that I am hiding here! "
"I'm not the only one with sharp eyes. That Fellow Daoist Zhou probably noticed it too. The words he said before he left were probably referring to us. "
Mo Lei sighed. He really could not figure out why Ning Fan's Dao Comprehension and wisdom were so monstrous even though his bone age was only five hundred years old. He could even tell that the two of them wanted to help him. Most likely, he also understood that the reason why they did not help him was because they could not put down their pride and were afraid that others would say that they were his subordinates.
After all, not every old monster could be as shameless as Lei Shiyi who was not afraid of being criticized by others.
"The reason why I helped him is to return the favor. But why are you helping him? If you harbor evil intentions, don't blame me for being merciless and attacking you! "Mo Lei questioned coldly.
"Attack me? Haha. Old Mo, I can't defeat you and you can't defeat me either! I'm willing to help him and I also want to kill Ying Long for fun. This is the reason why I'm attacking him. It's up to you whether you believe it or not! Haha. I'm going now! "
Tai Yue laughed heartily and entered the teleportation formation by himself.
Mo Lei's eyes revealed a strange expression. He sighed and shook his head. Then, he also led his men into the teleportation formation.
After so many years, he still could not understand Tai Yue. This man was too casual. If he wanted to challenge you, he would even dare to fight against the Heavenly King. If he wanted to help you, he did not have a proper reason.
However, what Mo Lei could predict was that with Ning Fan's strength and Tai Yue's help, he would not lose in the bloody battle on the twenty-fourth floor.
"I wonder if that Ying Long is already restless at this moment …" Mo Lei said indifferently as if he did not care about Ying Long's life or death.
…
Ying Long's lightning palace on the twenty-fourth floor.
In a deep swamp, a winged yellow dragon's eyes were filled with rage after hearing the reports. His dragon roar shattered the vast sky.
"Impossible! How could this young man break through the defense of the twenty-third floor of the lightning tower and come to my twenty-fourth floor in such a short time?! This is absolutely impossible! "
Before his anger subsided, several message-transmitting flying swords flew towards him in a panic. Each of them was begging for mercy.
"Dragon King, save us! The water pass is in an emergency!"
"The water pass has been breached. Iron Dragon City is surrounded. Dragon King, please lend us a hand!"
"Li Mountain has been razed to the ground …"
"Divine Cloud Valley has been breached …"
Each of the message-transmitting flying swords carried the grievous news of being slaughtered and annihilated.
King Ying Long became even more furious. In the past, he was the one who chased after others. Since when did the people he chased after dare to be so arrogant as to kill his subordinates in his territory?!
"Guards! I want to attack personally and kill this young man on the twenty-fourth floor!"
The yellow dragon flapped his wings and flew into the sky. With a flash of yellow light, he turned into a burly man in yellow robes. His face was as dark as iron.
However, before he could attack personally, another black flying sword flew towards him and exploded in the Dragon Pool. A cold voice was heard.
It was not the report of his subordinates but Ning Fan's voice!
"Ying Long Zi, your time of death has come!"
"Arrogant brat!"
King Ying Long was enraged. He could not tolerate being provoked by a Divine Transformation Realm junior like this.
Just as he was enraged, earth-shattering sounds of battle could be heard from outside the Dragon Pool.
Ning Fan is here!
