After injuring Shi Kun with a single punch, Ning Fan's long hair fluttered in the wind. He approached Shi Kun in a ray of travelling light and fought against him with the strength of his physical body.
Shi Kun became even more astonished. Every time his punches and kicks collided with Ning Fan, he would feel as if he was hit by a thousand mountains, causing his chest and abdomen to hurt.
He had always been proud of the fact that he was unrivalled among Void Glimpse Stage cultivators in both body and magic power. He was especially proud of the strength of his physical body.
Today, however, his magic power was obviously higher than Ning Fan's but he lost to him in terms of physical strength. How could he remain calm?!
The green stone scales on his body were shattered by Ning Fan one after another. Seeing that the injuries on his physical body were worsening, Shi Kun's eyes turned ruthless. He suddenly threw a punch at Ning Fan, using the force of the collision to increase the distance between them.
He patted his storage pouch and took out a black jade bottle. With a pained expression, he crushed the jade bottle.
There was only a drop of black liquid in the jade bottle. As the jade bottle was crushed, it flowed out. It was as viscous as blood and filled with vast energy. Shi Kun sucked it into his stomach and refined it.
All of a sudden, strange black scales appeared on Shi Kun's physical body. His qi became even more gloomy. However, his physical body was slightly stronger than before. It was now almost on par with Ning Fan's.
Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. He could naturally tell that the black liquid was some kind of secret blood medicine that could increase the strength of one's physical body within a short period of time.
Many old monsters in the surroundings sucked in a cold breath. Obviously, they had recognized the origin of the black liquid.
"The core blood of a sovereign beast! There's no mistake. This is … This is the core blood of a sovereign beast. It's demon blood that is secretly refined from the demon core of a sovereign beast! The energy contained in a drop of the core blood of a sovereign beast is almost equivalent to that of a sovereign beast's demon core! "
"What?! A sovereign beast?! That's a ferocious beast comparable to a Void Fragmentation Realm expert! The energy contained in the core blood of a sovereign beast is violent. Even a Void Refinement Realm old monster would need to use countless spiritual herbs to harmonize the energy in order to refine a drop of the core blood of a sovereign beast. Even if Shi Kun is unrivalled among Void Glimpse Stage experts, it's impossible for him to directly consume the core blood of a sovereign beast! "
"You're right. This isn't the true core blood of a sovereign beast. It has already been diluted. It has probably only been one hundred percent of its energy. That's why Shi Kun could directly consume it."
"Even if it is a diluted Sovereign Beast Core Blood, its value is still immeasurable. I didn't expect Shi Kun to be so fearful of Venerated Ming. They had just exchanged blows for a short while, and he had already started to consume the secret medicine …"
Just like what the old monsters had said, the value of a sovereign beast's core blood was immeasurable. If it wasn't because Ning Fan had pushed him too hard, Shi Kun would certainly not be willing to consume this bottle of diluted core blood.
He had once found the corpse of a Sovereign Beast in some ruins by chance. He dug out a Beast Core from the corpse and used a secret technique to refine a drop of Sovereign Beast Core Blood.
For golden body cultivators, imperial beast core blood was a rare body-tempering treasure.
Shi Kun had kept that drop of Sovereign Beast core blood in his storage pouch all this time, keeping it close to him. He could not bear to give it to anyone.
He was only willing to dilute a bit of Core Blood from the Core Blood and store it in a jade bottle as a secret medicine to temporarily increase his strength at a critical moment.
If it wasn't for the fact that his physical body was weaker than Ning Fan's, he would definitely not be willing to consume this secret medicine.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After consuming the secret medicine, Shi Kun's entire body was covered with black scales. His strength increased tremendously. Both of his fists were wide open, carrying an unparalleled aura force. He actually managed to block Ning Fan's attacks.
As the battle continued, Shi Kun's aura force became stronger and stronger. Even though he had a bad character, his strength was not to be underestimated. He was definitely a famous figure in the Rain World.
"Stone Sword, slash!"
Shi Kun's aura force reached its peak. His eyes flashed with brutal killing intent. He made a grabbing motion with one of his hands. Countless broken stones on the ground suddenly flew up and condensed into a gigantic green stone sword.
That gigantic green stone sword was also condensed by a magic technique. It was a Low Grade Mortal Void Magic Technique.
As soon as the sword light condensed, Shi Kun raised his sword and slashed. A green sword light swept across heaven and earth. The vast sky of tens of thousands of li * (500m per li) was cut into pieces by the sword light, revealing the dark and gloomy hollow space.
That ray of sword light was enough to kill any cultivator below the Void Refinement Realm. Countless cultivators who were watching the battle held their breaths.
However, Ning Fan was not bothered by such a powerful sword light at all.
With the dazzling golden armor protecting his body, Ning Fan was like an ancient deity. He let the sword light slash on his golden armor without dodging at all.
The slash of the sword light gave off a heaven-destroying and earth-shattering sound. The sword qi that leaked out pierced through countless layers of clouds.
However, no matter how sharp the sword light was, it could not leave a single scratch on the golden armor.
Ning Fan remained unscathed after taking on Shi Kun's slash head-on!
The sturdiness of the Primordial Lightning Armor once again shocked the world. Countless old monsters were speculating that perhaps even Void Inquiry Stage old monsters would not be able to break through such a sturdy lightning armor. As long as Ning Fan has the lightning armor, Shi Kun would not be able to hurt him at all.
In this battle, Ning Fan was already in an invincible position!
Shi Kun fell into deep astonishment. He could not believe that he, a dignified old monster who was unrivalled among Void Glimpse Stage experts, could not hurt a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm junior. How could this be possible?!
"Art of Self Manifestation!"
Ning Fan took a step forward. Golden light shone around his body and condensed into two golden shadows.
The two golden shadows were both at the First Level of the Golden Body Refining Realm. One man and two shadows surrounded Shi Kun in an instant and launched their strongest attacks without mercy.
Patches of the vast sky were shattered by the two shadows. Shi Kun who was at the center of the attacks managed to block Ning Fan's attacks with his gigantic bluestone sword. However, his body was continuously hit by the two golden shadows, causing his injuries to gradually worsen.
What kind of identity did he have? He was a dignified Void Refinement Realm old monster who could move unhindered in the Rain World and the lord of a Void Grade Cultivation Country. However, he was actually beaten to such a sorry state by a junior. How could he tolerate that?!
"Zhou Ming, don't you go too far! The matter between me and the Giant Devil Clan has nothing to do with you at all. Why do you have to interfere?! I won't accept this! "
* Chi *
Shi Kun coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood essence. His gigantic bluestone sword gave off an extremely dangerous and ferocious light. With a horizontal slash, the sky was cut into pieces and the earth was split into two!
That was Shi Kun's furious attack. With his strength that was unrivalled among Void Glimpse Stage experts, it was already infinitely close to a Void Pierce Stage attack!
Such a powerful slash still could not break the lightning armor's defense. Ning Fan remained unscathed.
The two golden shadows, on the other hand, had one of their arms and one of their legs severed by Shi Kun's furious slash. Both of them were already severely injured.
Shi Kun laughed complacently. His eyes were filled with madness and ferocity.
Each of these golden shadows was at the First Level of the Golden Body Refining Realm. They had the strength of an ordinary Void Refinement Realm expert. But so what?
Under Shi Kun's furious attack, even the golden shadows could only sustain severe injuries.
Each of the old monsters who were watching the scene felt their hearts palpitate. The destructive power of that furious slash was enough to severely injure or even kill an ordinary Void Glimpse Stage expert!
Shi Kun's strength was indeed worthy of his reputation. The title of being unrivalled among Void Glimpse Stage experts was definitely not groundless!
Ning Fan's eyes turned slightly solemn. This Shi Kun was indeed very strong. If it was before he entered the Black Lightning Tower, he would certainly not be his opponent.
However, after experiencing the trials in the Black Lightning Tower, Ning Fan's combat power had skyrocketed even though his cultivation base did not improve. Both his offensive and defensive techniques had improved tremendously. People like Shi Kun were no longer worthy of his attention.
In his devil form, Ning Fan could kill a Void Inquiry Stage expert!
Facing Shi Kun, Ning Fan did not even need to transform into his devil form. He was very confident that he could kill Shi Kun on the spot!
"You've gone too far! Zhou Ming! You're just a revered elder of the Rain Palace. How dare you offend me? You deserve to die! "Shi Kun raised his sword and thrust it at Ning Fan. He did not believe that he could not break the defense of Ning Fan's lightning armor.
"So what if I've bullied you?!"
Ning Fan's black hair danced wildly in the air. His eyes flashed with a cold light. His right palm shone with thousands of rays of golden light and he slammed his palm on Shi Kun's gigantic green stone sword.
The force of that single slap was earth-shattering. Countless hollow spaces were forcefully shattered.
When Shi Kun's sword was suddenly slapped by Ning Fan, he only felt an unparalleled force colliding with his sword. His gigantic sword immediately shattered!
At the same time, the injuries of the two severely injured golden shadows behind him strangely healed in an instant. Then, they launched heavy attacks at Shi Kun's back.
* Boom * * Boom *
Two rays of fist light landed on Shi Kun's back, shattering the black scale armor on his back. He fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string. He stared at the two golden shadows with extreme shock and anger. His face was filled with disbelief.
"How could this be?! I've clearly severely injured your two golden shadows. Why can these two golden shadows recover in an instant?! "
Shi Kun had no idea that these golden shadows were the product of the Self Manifestation Technique. Unless they were killed in a single blow, they could instantly recover no matter how severe their injuries were.
With a loud bang, he crashed into the ground. His body created a gigantic pit that was several thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) in size.
When he crawled up from the pit, he was severely injured but he was still alive. He was indeed worthy of his strength that was unrivalled among Void Glimpse Stage experts.
He raised his head and looked at Ning Fan. His eyes were filled with madness.
A terrifying aura force spread out from his body. He had decided to use his strongest trump card to determine the victor of this battle!
All the rocks on the ground beneath his feet began to move. It was extremely strange.
Shi Kun's body emitted waves of evil ghostly light. His body began to grow in size in an instant.
"Dao of Ghost Stone, Stone God True Body!"
In just a few breaths' time, Shi Kun's body grew to five thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall, turning into a green stone giant.
He held an ancient green stone shield in his left hand and a gigantic green stone sword in his right. He let out a furious roar like an ancient god.
At this moment, Shi Kun's combat power was already infinitely close to the Void Inquiry Stage!
"This is … This is … the 'Fiendgod True Body' …" Each of the old monsters who were watching the battle was so shocked that they could not utter a single word.
Some of them did not know the method of Shi Kun's magic technique. Thus, they chose to remain silent.
Some of them recognized the essence of this magic technique. It was too shocking and they could not believe it.
Many fiendgod cultivation methods had secret techniques that allowed one to transform into a giant. However, there were also different levels of them.
An ordinary giant transformation could only be called the 'Giant Body'. Even though their physical bodies were strong, they could not display the abilities of the ancient fiendgods.
However, if one could cultivate the Giant Body to the extreme, they could cultivate the 'True Body' and possess the abilities of the ancient fiendgods. They could even have the chance to imitate the ancient divine weapons of the ancient fiendgods!
Shi Kun's son who was almost killed by Ning Fan looked at his father who had turned into a giant with a face full of pride and admiration.
"Imperial Advisor, you guys look! This is my father's strongest trump card, the 'Stone God True Body'! The cultivation method that my father cultivates is a fiendgod cultivation method called 'Ghost Stone Divine Technique'. It is rumored to be a cultivation method left behind by a revered god of the ancient stone clan. Not only did my father cultivate the Stone God True Body, but he also imitated the ancient divine weapons of that revered god! Look, the stone sword and stone shield that my father is holding are the divine weapons of that revered god! With these divine weapons in hand, no matter how strong that Zhou Ming is, he will not be a match for my father! "
Shi Kun's son did not conceal his voice at all. Those who were paying attention could hear him. Looking at Shi Kun who had turned into a giant, they became even more fearful.
From afar, an elderly man in golden robes and five pill masters were standing in the sky, watching the battle.
The five pill masters were the pill masters of the Scarlet Heaven Palace who were severely injured by Ning Fan.
As for the elderly man in golden robes, he was the palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace, Mo Xiu!
Mo Xiu's eyes swept across the battlefield. When he passed by Ning Fan, a hint of anger flashed across his eyes. However, due to the Rain Sovereign's order, he suppressed his anger.
His eyes swept across the giant Shi Kun and for the first time, his expression turned solemn.
"The Fiendgod True Body, huh … Humph. This Shi Kun is really impressive. He has actually cultivated the Fiendgod True Body and even imitated two ancient divine weapons. Even this old man would need to spend some effort to defeat Shi Kun. There's no need to watch anymore. Unless that Zhou Ming has a Void Inquiry Stage cultivation base, he will definitely die today. "
Yue Lingkong was anxious. She did not expect that Shi Kun had cultivated the Fiendgod True Body. Little Cucumber was really in danger now. She wanted to save him.
Even Xu Qiuling who was usually calm revealed a worried expression. She felt uneasy.
Fen Chi was also worried about Ning Fan. It was not easy for her to fall in love with a man. How could she bear to see him in danger?
However, no matter how worried the three ladies were, none of them intervened in Ning Fan's battle.
That was the battlefield that belonged to Ning Fan. What they should do now was to trust Ning Fan.
They believed that he would win. They believed that he would not lose.
If you are like an eagle, I will accompany you to conquer the world! If you are defeated, I will accompany you to make a comeback!
Shi Kun raised his head and laughed coldly. His voice was like thunder.
"Zhou Ming! Ever since I condensed the Stone God True Body, this is my second time displaying it. For the first time, I used this true body to kill the strongest bandit cultivator in Shi Le Country … "
His laughter did not stop. Many old monsters were extremely shocked.
Shi Le Country was once a country where bandits roamed freely. The strongest bandit leader was a Void Inquiry Stage old monster. That bandit leader's Void Inquiry Stage cultivation base had advanced to the next level using a secret technique. His cultivation base was superficial and he could be considered as the weakest among all Void Inquiry Stage experts.
Even so, the weakest Void Inquiry Stage expert was still several times stronger than a Void Glimpse Stage expert.
However, that bandit leader suddenly went missing and Shi Le Country was also wiped out by Shi Kun alone. He killed countless bandits and took over the country.
No one knew that the bandit leader was killed by Shi Kun.
The reason why Shi Kun told everyone about this today was to let them know that he was so strong that he could even kill a Void Inquiry Stage expert, let alone a mere Ning Fan!
"The shield I hold in my left hand is called the Eight Chi Shield. It can deflect all Void Glimpse Stage magic attacks!"
"The sword I hold in my right hand is called the Ten Fist Sword. A single sword can deliver the strength of ten Void Glimpse Stage punches, which is comparable to a Void Inquiry Stage attack!"
"Zhou Ming, since you are able to die under the sword and shield of my fiendgod true body, you should die without regrets!"
Shi Kun's laughter was unbridled as if he was confident that he could kill Ning Fan.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with impatience. He was fed up with it. The game ends here.
He clawed with his five fingers and absorbed all the souls of the earth. His magic power was comparable to a Void Refinement Realm expert.
He coughed out a mouthful of blood essence and suddenly summoned the seven Yellow Dragon Jade Tokens. Seven layers of yellow skies appeared with great momentum.
Each of the seven layers of yellow skies was powerful enough to injure a Void Inquiry Stage expert and was comparable to a Void Inquiry Stage attack!
The combined power of the seven layers of yellow skies was comparable to a Void Pierce Stage attack. It was enough to severely injure a Void Inquiry Stage expert and kill all Void Glimpse Stage experts!
"W-What kind of magic treasure is this? It's impossible! You are just a Divine Transformation Realm junior. How can you have such a magic treasure? How can you activate a magic treasure of this level?! "
All of Shi Kun's complacency turned into panic at this moment.
His Eight Chi Shield could deflect all Void Glimpse Stage attacks. However, each layer of Ning Fan's Yellow Skies had the destructive power of a Void Inquiry Stage expert. The combined power of the seven heavens was comparable to a Void Pierce Stage attack. How could it be deflected?!
"This is bad. We must run!"
The moment Ning Fan activated the Yellow Dragon Seven Tokens, all of his arrogance turned into a sense of defeat.
Each of the old monsters was shocked once again. Ning Fan actually had such a powerful technique. This kind of magic treasure was enough to make Void Inquiry Stage old monsters fearful!
As long as he has this treasure in his hands, which Void Inquiry Stage old monster would dare to provoke him?!
"Suppress!"
Ning Fan pointed a finger at the sky. The seven layers of yellow skies fell down as if the sky was collapsing. That was the true might of the heavens.
The weight of the seven layers of yellow skies was immeasurable. The tremendous force of the impact flattened countless mountains and rivers.
Shi Kun waved his gigantic green stone sword and attacked desperately. Finally, he destroyed one layer of yellow skies but it was suppressed by the other six layers of yellow skies.
In just an instant, all of Shi Kun's muscles and bones were crushed by the yellow skies. He let out a blood-curdling scream and his giant body was crushed into a pile of meat paste. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
When the smoke and dust dispersed, the battlefield gradually quietened down. Shi Kun had already left his true form and was lying on the ground like a pile of mud. He did not have the strength to move at all but he was still breathing.
As for Ning Fan, he stood indifferently in front of Shi Kun and said coldly.
"I've told you that you can't afford to offend me. You just don't believe me."
"* Cough * Cough * … Zhou Ming … Revered Elder Zhou, it's not appropriate for you to kill me. You can't … I'm … the lord of Shi Le Country … I'm … the lord of the Rain Palace … Killing me … is against the law of the World …"
"You even know about the Rain Palace and the law of the World? You are the lord of a country conferred by the Rain Palace while I am a revered elder conferred by the Rain Sovereign. You were the one who wanted to kill me first. The one who violated the law of the World is you. Even if you are the lord of a country, you should still be killed for trying to murder a revered elder of the Rain Palace! "
* Boom *
Ning Fan took a step forward and crushed Shi Kun's head, causing his physical body to die instantly.
At the same time, he pointed a finger at Shi Kun's dantian and struck his primordial spirit which was trying to escape in a panic.
The tiny primordial spirit let out a miserable shriek and died with reluctance.
Ning Fan had killed the lord of Shi Le Country – Shi Kun!
Not only did he kill him, but before he died, he even accused him of plotting against a revered elder of the Rain Palace and violating the law of the World. Thus, no one could hold him accountable for this matter!
With a wave of his hand, Ning Fan kept Shi Kun's storage pouch and scanned it with his spirit sense. There were a lot of good items inside. What made him especially satisfied was the jade bottle which sealed the core blood of a sovereign beast.
The spoils of war were very generous.
* Hiss *
At the moment when Ning Fan killed Shi Kun, countless old monsters were overwhelmed with shock!
What did they just see?!
They actually witnessed the death of a Void Refinement Realm old monster with their own eyes!
Moreover, that Void Refinement Realm old monster was the lord of Shi Le Country. He was a ruthless person who had killed a Void Inquiry Stage expert before. He was an unrivalled existence among Void Glimpse Stage experts!
He died just like that!
Since Ning Fan was able to kill Shi Kun, his strength was unfathomable!
All of a sudden, countless old monsters who were watching from the sidelines fell silent. Their eyes were filled with fear and trepidation when they looked at Ning Fan.
Unlike these old monsters, many cultivators of the Giant Devil Clan who rushed to the scene learned about the cause and effect of Ning Fan killing Shi Kun. Knowing that Ning Fan had saved the Giant Devil Clan from being annihilated, each of them felt grateful from the bottom of their hearts.
"Venerated Ming is mighty!"
Their cheers resounded through the clouds and spread further and further. Eventually, it spread to the entire Cold Northern Country!
