Ning Fan did not stay in the guest house. Instead, he stood under the statue for eight days straight.
He was Ning Fan whose name shook the entire Internal Endless Sea. None of the cultivators on the island dared to question what he wanted to do or where he wanted to stand.
No one knew that Ning Fan was waiting for the ancient demon to show up under the statue.
Ning Fan was not bothered by the fact that the ancient demon did not show up. After all, Ming Que was the one who received the inheritance and he was responsible for protecting her. If that ancient demon dares to destroy the inheritance, he would not mind making that ancient demon pay the price.
Eight days passed in the blink of an eye. A massive Ancestral Sacrificial Grand Formation and countless altars and ancient statues had been set up under the princess statue.
There were also many shrines with many divine tablets on them.
Countless demon cultivators knelt down and chanted unknown ancient scriptures. They burned incense and prayed, offering sacrifices to the ancient statues.
"Demons are humans who stand on top of Heaven and Earth. Humans are demons who trap Heaven and Earth. In ancient times, there was a human sovereign who became a demon on the spot. Heaven and Earth were scriptures that could be chanted for thousands of generations … "
Ning Fan participated in the Ancestral Sacrificial Demon Ceremony as an outsider. As he listened to the group of cultivators chanting the ancient demon scriptures, his heart gradually calmed down.
Each of the ancient statues was a statue of a divine bird. Each of these divine birds had nine feathers on their tails and each of their feathers had strange patterns. The feathers were like ice needles. Even though they were just statues, their feathers were enshrouded in cold nether qi that could not be erased.
This divine bird was the Immemorial Dark Sparrow.
All of the dark sparrow statues surrounded the gigantic goddess statue like stars surrounding the moon, as if the goddess was the king of all dark sparrows.
"Princess Si Cang … Si Cang must have been the king of the Immemorial Dark Sparrow Clan when she was alive."
Ning Fan looked at the grand sacrificial ceremony and pondered.
After an unknown period of time, the chanting in the surroundings suddenly became quiet. As for Ming Que and Su Yan, they were walking towards the Ancestral Sacrificial Grand Formation under the escort of a group of oracles.
Su Yan was naturally following Ning Fan's order to accompany Ming Que. She was still dressed in plain clothes but it was difficult to conceal her mature beauty. Her enchanting appearance made countless demon cultivators swallow their saliva but they did not dare to profane her.
What a joke! Now, everyone in the internal sea knew that Su Yan had followed Ning Fan … Who would dare to profane Ning Fan's woman?
As for Ming Que, she was dressed up especially grandly today.
She was no longer dressed like a little girl. Instead, she was dressed like a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl. She wore a gorgeous dress woven from silk and a feather cloak embroidered with ice needles. She also wore a delicate golden crown on her head, making her look like a petite queen.
Today, Ming Que wasn't as noisy as she used to be. Her small face was calm and dignified.
"Greetings, Island Lord!"
When Bright Sparrow's group approached, all the demon cultivators who were chanting scriptures on the demon island kowtowed in unison. Their voices shook the heavens.
Ming Que, on the other hand, nodded indifferently and said, "Dispense with the formalities." Then, she walked into the Ancestral Sacrificial Formation step by step. In front of any demon cultivators, he always had a cold and indifferent look on his face. Only when he approached Ning Fan did he mischievously blink his eyes. "Brother Biscuit, after I successfully inherit the inheritance today, my strength will certainly increase tremendously. Then, I will be able to help you deal with that Moksha Sovereign."
"Is that so? Then I'm looking forward to it." Ning Fan shook his head with a faint smile.
The power of incense was the power produced by devotees' sincere worship.
The power of incense in the princess statue was not weak. It was accumulated after countless generations of demon cultivators of the island kowtowed thousands of times.
If this power is passed to Ming Que, it would certainly improve her strength by a lot. It would allow her to break through from the Mid Divine Transformation Realm to the Late Divine Transformation Realm or even the Peak Divine Transformation Realm. However, it probably wouldn't be enough for her to break through to the Void Refinement Realm.
Even if Ming Que obtains the complete inheritance, she would still not be a match for Moksha Sovereign.
However, she always remembered to help Ning Fan. Ning Fan was still very grateful for her kindness.
"Don't worry. With me around, no one can stop you from receiving the inheritance." Ning Fan patted Ming Que's head and said lovingly.
"Mm. Brother Biscuit is the best."
Ming Que suddenly stood on her tiptoes and mischievously gave Ning Fan a peck on his cheek. Then, she put on a dignified expression again and walked towards the highest altar below the statue under the escort of a few priests.
Everyone including Su Yan stayed at the bottom of the highest altar. Ming Que was the only one who went up the altar.
A copper pond that was several zhang * (3.33m per zhang) large was chiseled on the altar. The pond was filled with dark red demon blood.
Ming Que did not take off her shoes, socks or clothes. She directly stepped into the blood pond and immersed her entire body in it.
At this moment, all the demon cultivators on the island became nervous. Old Man Qu, on the other side of the high platform, presided over the ceremony. "The Ancestral Sacrificial Ceremony begins now! Chant the demon scripture and offer the demon sacrifice! "
Countless demon cultivators knelt on the ground and began chanting the ancient demon scripture again.
Some of the demon cultivators carried various kinds of heavenly ingredients and earthly treasures, rare and strange beasts and placed them in front of the statues. Some of them even killed the strange beasts and smeared the statues with their blood.
Countless dark blue bonfires suddenly lit up in the wooden fences in all directions.
Heaven and earth suddenly became gloomy and dark clouds covered the sky. Many of the priests began to control the Ancestral Sacrificial Grand Formation under the command of Old Man Qu.
All of a sudden, the dark sparrow statues shattered one after another. Each of them emitted a ray of misty light which was absorbed into the princess statue at the center.
An ancient and desolate qi gradually rose from the gigantic princess statue, affecting everyone's emotions.
A vast amount of incense flame power shot out from the princess statue and reached the sky, turning into a gigantic shadow of an Immemorial Dark Sparrow.
That gigantic Immemorial Dark Sparrow descended from the nine heavens with an indelible majesty.
Each of its nine tail feathers was flashing with a misty white light. At this moment, Old Man Qu became increasingly nervous. He took the formation plate from the priests and personally activated the grand formation.
As the grand formation was activated, one of the nine tail feathers of the dark sparrow's shadow suddenly dimmed.
That lost white light turned into a ray of flowing light. Like the Milky Way falling from the sky, it entered the blood pool and entered Bright Sparrow's body.
It seemed like the power of inheritance had been divided into nine rays and each of them was stored on the nine tail feathers of the dark sparrow's shadow.
The white light that entered Bright Sparrow's body only contained one-ninth of the power of inheritance.
All of a sudden, the magic power in Bright Sparrow's body increased by several tens of thousands of units. Her aura force rose sharply.
In the vast sky, layers of fiery red tribulation clouds emerged as if the heavenly tribulation of flames was about to descend.
The power of the fire tribulation was extremely strong. It was almost comparable to the power of the heavenly tribulation of breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm.
"Not good! There are a total of nine rays of power of inheritance. This is only the first ray of power of inheritance but it has already attracted such a strong power of heavenly tribulation! I'm afraid this fire tribulation can even incinerate a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm old monster to death! "
Old Man Qu exclaimed in panic. He immediately looked at Ning Fan and Su Yan with eyes full of pleading for help.
Each of the cultivators of the demon island stared at the heavenly tribulation and felt their scalps go numb. Even a Void Refinement Realm old monster would not be able to withstand a heavenly tribulation of this level!
These cultivators of the demon island certainly could not withstand a heavenly tribulation of this level. This was the reason why they did not dare to carelessly give the inheritance to Bright Sparrow!
"Yan Er, you guard Bright Sparrow. I will resist the heavenly tribulation."
Ning Fan told Su Yan. Then, he suddenly soared into the sky. In just an instant, he had crossed an immeasurable distance and appeared below the fiery clouds.
He did not even look at the fiery clouds. Instead, he raised his palm to the sky and activated the Fire Plucking Technique.
The center of his palm seemed to have formed a fiery vortex that could never be filled. It sucked all the fiery clouds into the vortex and guided them into the Stele of Sun and Moon.
The fire tribulation which was powerful enough to kill a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert was easily eliminated by Ning Fan.
* Hiss *
Each of the cultivators of the demon island sucked in a cold breath. Even though they had heard of Ning Fan's reputation, none of them had ever seen him in action.
"Continue the ancestral sacrifice." Ning Fan looked down at Old Man Qu and ordered.
"Yes! Continue the ancestral sacrifice! "
Seeing that Ning Fan easily withstood the heavenly tribulation, Old Man Qu heaved a sigh of relief and continued to activate the formation disc.
In just one hour, the second, third and fourth rays of white light shot down from the feathers of the dark sparrow's shadow one after another and went into little Bright Sparrow's body.
Little Bright Sparrow's qi increased tremendously. She had already broken through to the Late Divine Transformation Realm. In just one hour, she had advanced from the Mid Divine Transformation Realm to the Late Divine Transformation Realm. It really made many demon cultivators envious.
For the three consecutive fire tribulations, Ning Fan was the one who destroyed the tribulation clouds on behalf of Bright Sparrow to break through to the Late Divine Transformation Realm.
From the fifth ray of white light onwards, the power of the heavenly tribulation increased drastically. It was almost enough to severely injure a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator.
From the seventh ray of white light onwards, the heavenly tribulation could even severely injure a Void Inquiry Stage cultivator.
When it reached the ninth ray of heavenly tribulation, the qi of the fiery clouds became even more terrifying. Even a Void Pierce Stage old monster would be severely injured by this heavenly tribulation!
However, no matter how strong these heavenly tribulations were, as long as they were still fire tribulations, they would not be able to withstand Ning Fan's fire plucking technique. All of the fiery clouds were wiped away by Ning Fan with a raise of his hand and the flames were kept inside the Stele of Sun and Moon.
Ning Fan's strength had shocked the cultivators of the demon island time and time again. Even Su Yan did not expect that Ning Fan could easily eliminate the heavenly tribulation which severely injured a Void Pierce Stage expert.
The nine inheritances were all accepted by Bright Sparrow. Her magic power was almost close to one million units and she was only a step away from breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm!
Each of the nine heavenly tribulations was more terrifying than the last. However, Ning Fan destroyed all of the tribulation clouds with a raise of his hand!
Inside the princess statue, the white tiger ancient demon who harbored evil intentions witnessed Ning Fan's strength from beginning to end.
He was already extremely timid in the first place. When he first saw Ning Fan's Void Inquiry Stage qi, he was already scared to death.
Today, when he saw Ning Fan easily destroy the heavenly tribulation of the Void Pierce Stage, he became even more afraid of him. Despite being a dignified Void Pierce Stage ancient demon, he was actually trembling and prostrating inside the statue. His eyes were filled with fear.
The white tiger ancient demon knew that he would definitely not be able to withstand a heavenly tribulation of that level. However, Ning Fan could easily eliminate the heavenly tribulation. According to the white tiger's thought process, Ning Fan was definitely stronger than him. Moreover, Ning Fan was much stronger than him!
"What should I do? What should I do?! This person is so strong. I'm certainly not his match! As long as this person is here, I won't be able to do anything to that pill devil at all. That pill devil has the bloodline of the dark sparrow. She herself is an extremely delicious delicacy. Moreover, she has absorbed all of the joss flame power. If I can devour her, not only can my cultivation base improve, but I can also get rid of the 'broken soul body' and cultivate a true demon body of flesh and blood! "
The white tiger ancient demon really wanted to eat Bright Sparrow but he was extremely afraid of Ning Fan's strength.
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly remembered that he still had a treasure with him. As long as he has this treasure, there was no need for him to be afraid of Ning Fan.
"That's right. How could I forget about this treasure?! This is a treasure that I risked my life to steal from my master. If it wasn't for this treasure, I would have died a long time ago. How could I still be alive today? Hehe. I remember my master once told me that this treasure is called the 'Spirit Bone Jade Token'. It was made from the 'spirit bone' that my master left behind after his death … "
The white tiger ancient demon transformed into a burly man in white robes with the head of a tiger and the body of a human. He was holding a crystal clear and warm jade token in his hand.
The jade token was engraved with circles of patterns that looked like the growth rings of a tree.
There were many holes on the edge of the jade token. Each of the holes was connected with a thin string which was connected to a beast tooth. The beast tooth on one of the holes was missing but the white tiger ancient demon did not care about it.
If one takes a closer look, they would realize that the warm jade token was actually not a piece of jade. Instead, it was a piece of bone that had the texture of jade.
This bone was the bone of an ancient demon. To be precise, the reason why the white tiger ancient demon was fortunate enough to become an ancient demon was because of this piece of Spirit Bone Jade Token.
This treasure contained an unfathomable mighty force. It was not emitted by the spirit bone itself. Instead, it was emitted by the circles of patterns on the spirit bone.
"I remember my master once said that the circles of patterns on this spirit bone are called 'spirit wheels'. They are the divine abilities of ancient demons and are extremely similar to the 'devil talismans' of ancient devils …"
The white tiger ancient demon stared at the jade token. His initial fear towards Ning Fan immediately vanished by ninety percent.
"As long as I have this treasure, I don't need to be afraid of anyone! Humph! I must eat that little pill devil! "
* Chi *
The white tiger mustered up his courage and turned into a ray of white light, shooting out from the princess statue.
Even though he had become more confident, he was still a little afraid of Ning Fan after all. He did not dare to have a direct confrontation with him. Thus, his travelling light directly flew towards Ming Que, stirring up countless demonic winds. He was prepared to capture her and find a good place to eat her.
The appearance of this white tiger ancient demon was out of all the cultivators' expectations.
His powerful Void Pierce Stage aura force attracted layers of void power, turning them into void waves in the vast sky. His aura force was terrifying.
Only Void Pierce Stage cultivators could step on the void sea and maintain an inextinguishable magic power above the surface of the sea.
Su Yan's eyes widened in surprise. She never expected that there would be a Void Pierce Stage old monster causing trouble in the inheritance. Moreover, the qi of this Void Pierce Stage old monster was extremely unfamiliar. It seemed to be a powerful demon cultivator who was definitely not a cultivator of the Rain World!
As for the cultivators of the demon island, they were all shocked by this sudden change. They did not have time to react at all. Ming Que was about to be captured by the white tiger ancient demon.
"I got her!"
The white tiger ancient demon was overjoyed. His travelling light was unimaginably fast. He was only one hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away from Ming Que's sacrificial altar. He only needed to reach the sacrificial altar in an instant, capture Ming Que and escape without a trace.
At this critical moment, black flames suddenly flashed in front of him. The figure of a white-robed young man appeared. It was none other than Ning Fan who was already prepared for it.
Ning Fan spread his Eight Black Burning Wings and appeared all of a sudden, coldly blocking the path of the white tiger ancient demon.
Releasing his essence qi, he raised his hand and made a palm strike. In an instant, he pressed one hundred and eight layers of Execution Palm Imprints on the top of the white tiger ancient demon's skull.
"W-Oh my god! This is the Execution Devil Palm! I've seen this palm imprint before. According to the records in my master's jade slip, it's the technique that made a young great emperor famous in ancient times! Oh my god! Who exactly is this white-robed young man? He actually knows the abilities and magic techniques of an ancient great emperor! This is just too terrifying! "
The white tiger ancient demon was immediately at a loss. To be honest, if he goes all out, he would most likely be able to withstand Ning Fan's Execution Devil Palm. After all, his cultivation base was higher than Ning Fan's.
However, the ancient demon was a coward in the first place. He was extremely afraid of Ning Fan. Now that he had recognized the origin of Ning Fan's devil palm, he became even less confident and fearful. For a moment, he did not know how to deal with Ning Fan.
The ancient demon was so scared that he nearly peed his pants. He could not imagine that there was still someone who knew how to use the abilities of an ancient great emperor in the current world.
Luckily, he finally remembered the Spirit Bone Jade Pendant in his hand. Before the devil palm reached his head, he suddenly took out the jade pendant and poured his demonic power into it.
Circles of strange patterns on the surface of the jade pendant flickered violently, emitting rays of mysterious halos. When the halos collided with the Execution Devil Palm, the powerful collision shattered the hollow space and sent countless sacrificial altars flying.
Due to Ning Fan's protection, the sacrificial altar where Ming Que was at was not affected by the shockwaves.
She was still sitting in the blood pool with her eyes closed. She seemed to be absorbing the power of inheritance. Her brows were tightly knitted together as if she was enduring some kind of pain.
The powerful shockwaves did not wake Ming Que up but it shocked countless demon cultivators on the island.
It was the shockwaves of a battle between Void Refinement Realm experts. These demon cultivators on the island might not have seen a Void Refinement Realm battle in their entire lives!
When the white tiger ancient demon saw that he had actually withstood Ning Fan's palm attack, he found it unbelievable. Gradually, he became more confident.
Even though he was a coward, he was not stupid. Just now, he activated the power of the Spirit Bone Jade Pendant in a hurry and only displayed thirty to forty percent of its power.
Even so, he easily withstood Ning Fan's sure-kill attack.
From the looks of it, Ning Fan did not seem to be as scary as he had imagined.
"You are not my match. Quickly scram and I can spare your life! I will definitely eat this little pill devil! "The white tiger said arrogantly.
"Noisy!"
It was impossible for Ning Fan to let the ancient demon capture Ming Que.
However, what made Ning Fan slightly surprised was that this ancient demon could see through Ming Que's identity.
What Ning Fan was more concerned about was the Spirit Bone Jade Pendant that the ancient demon was holding.
That jade pendant had just activated several halos which easily blocked Ning Fan's Execution Devil Palm.
That halos were somewhat unusual …
With Ning Fan's eyesight, he could even see that there was an extremely faint ancient demon qi on the Spirit Bone Jade Pendant.
He could also see that the ancient demon qi of this white tiger was not pure. Moreover, he had used up almost one third of his demon power to activate the jade pendant just now.
"This halos of the jade pendant are a little troublesome … However, this white tiger certainly can't use this treasure too many times."
When the white tiger saw Ning Fan's cautious expression, he thought that Ning Fan was afraid of him. Inwardly, he felt extremely proud.
"Indeed. As long as I have Master's treasure, I will be invincible!"
"Unfortunately, every time I activate this magic treasure, I will consume too much of my demon power. Unless I have no other choice, I can't rely on this jade pendant too much. It seems like this white-robed young man isn't that scary. Perhaps I don't need to use this jade pendant to deal with him. "
The white tiger kept the jade pendant and took out an umbrella-shaped magic treasure which reeked of blood qi. Then, he threw it at Ning Fan.
"Since you insist on getting in my way, I will eat you as well! 'World Opening Umbrella'! "
The blood umbrella soared into the sky and suddenly spread open. Countless rays of light shone, sucking Ning Fan and the white tiger into the world inside the umbrella.
It was a small chiliocosm where a sea of blood surged. The sea of blood was boundless. The reason why the white tiger kept Ning Fan inside the world was just to kill him inside.
"A small chiliocosm cosmos treasure?" Ning Fan's eyes were filled with surprise. Not only did this white tiger possess a strange jade pendant, but he also had a small chiliocosm cosmos treasure with him. This was rather unusual.
Countless blood mists suddenly emerged from the sea of blood beneath his feet and rushed towards Ning Fan. Being inside the blood mists, Ning Fan immediately felt that his magic power was greatly restricted. Traces of his magic power were sealed by the blood mists.
This blood umbrella was indeed somewhat extraordinary. Not only could it capture the enemy into a small chiliocosm, but it could also use the sea of blood to seal the enemy's magic power and cultivation base.
Even a Void Fragmentation Realm old monster might not necessarily have such a mysterious magic treasure.
Ning Fan did not dare to be careless. He patted his storage pouch without hesitation and took out a lustrous blood sword. Then, he slashed at the blood mists in front of him.
Immediately, the layers of blood mists were split apart by Ning Fan's sword as if they had met their nemesis.
When the white tiger saw that his attack was successful and he managed to capture Ning Fan into the umbrella world, he was secretly feeling proud of himself. This blood umbrella is one of my master's magic treasures after all. Even if it is not as powerful as the Spirit Bone Jade Pendant, it is still extraordinary.
However, when he saw Ning Fan split the blood mists apart with the blood sword, his face was immediately filled with fear because he had once again recognized the origin of the blood sword that Ning Fan was holding.
"A blood sword made from the bone of a Heavenly Demon Blood Dragon! A Heavenly Demon! That's an existence comparable to a True Immortal Realm expert! You're really a madman. You actually used the bone of a Heavenly Demon to craft a magic treasure weapon! "
The white tiger who was initially full of confidence lost his confidence once again. He was unprecedentedly afraid of Ning Fan.
In his opinion, Ning Fan was just too terrifying. His master was just a True Immortal Realm expert but Ning Fan used the bone of a Heavenly Demon to craft a magic treasure. Ning Fan was definitely a madman!
"I don't want to fight with you anymore. I want to run away. The situation is urgent!"
The white tiger's speech became somewhat incoherent. He wanted to escape from the umbrella world and seal Ning Fan inside.
However, how could Ning Fan give him the chance to escape?
"You want to leave?!"
Ning Fan did not give the white tiger any chance to escape. The blood sword had already descended from the sky. The sword light was shocking and it split the sea in half. (To be continued.)
