Hong Yi stood coldly beside Ning Fan, protecting him.
She was like a peerless ferocious beast. Just by standing there, none of the undead spirits in the Divine Region dared to attack her.
He focused all of his attention on refining the medicinal power of the thunder fruit.
These thunder fruits contained extremely pure energy which was easy to absorb. With the speed of his Yin Yang Evil Veins, it didn't take him too much time to devour the thunder fruits.
With a casual flick of his sleeve, he would swallow dozens of cherry-sized Nascent Soul Thunder Fruits and refine them.
He swallowed the Nascent Soul Realm lightning fruits one after another and refined them into pure magic power.
At first, every 100 Nascent Soul Thunder Fruits contained 5 units of magic power.
After consuming one thousand thunder fruits, Ning Fan broke through to the Mid Nascent Soul Realm.
After consuming four thousand thunder fruits, Ning Fan broke through to the Late Nascent Soul Realm.
After consuming more than 25000 thunder fruits, Ning Fan broke through to the Peak Nascent Soul Realm. However, his body began to develop a resistance to the Nascent Soul Realm thunder fruits.
Ning Fan continued to eat the Nascent Soul Realm lightning fruits like they were beans. Gradually, 100 Nascent Soul Realm lightning fruits could only increase his magic power by one sixty years.
Later on, 1000 Nascent Soul Thunder Fruits were still unable to increase one's magic power by 60 years.
It took Ning Fan one month to finish all the Nascent Soul Realm Thunder Fruits. The reason why he was able to achieve this speed was all thanks to Hong Yi using her powers to help him refine these thunder fruits.
He still remembered that in the end, even after consuming 10,000 Thunder Fruits consecutively, he was still unable to increase his magical power by 1 cycle …
His body had almost completely rejected the Nascent Soul Realm lightning fruits. Without a doubt, the Nascent Soul Realm lightning fruits had been completely destroyed by him.
After eating almost all of the millions of Nascent Soul Realm lightning fruits, his separated soul had yet to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm.
"Your speed of refining the thunder fruits is a little slow!" Hong Yi was slightly dissatisfied.
"Slow? I don't think so."
Ning Fan shook his head disapprovingly. The speed at which he consumed the thunder fruits was definitely not slow. It was at least one hundred times faster than ordinary cultivators.
There were still hundreds of thousands of Nascent Soul Realm lightning fruits that he had yet to consume. Ning Fan no longer consumed the Nascent Soul Realm lightning fruits and switched to the Divine Transformation Realm lightning fruits.
There were close to 50,000 Soul Forming Thunder Fruits, and each Soul Forming Thunder Fruit contained close to 5 units of magic power.
After consuming five hundred Divine Transformation Realm lightning fruits, the cultivation base of his separated soul naturally broke through to the Early Divine Transformation Realm.
"You've reached the Deity Transformation Stage. I hope you can break through to the Void Training Stage with these Thunder Fruits," Hong Yi said indifferently.
"I hope so."
Ning Fan calmed his mind and focused on refining the Divine Transformation Realm Lightning Fruit.
The Soul Formation Thunder Fruit contained more magic power, so the refining speed was naturally slower than the Nascent Soul Thunder Fruit.
After an entire month, he finally managed to refine all of the fifty thousand Divine Transformation Realm lightning fruits. Due to the resistance that his body had developed to the lightning fruits, his magic power only increased by two hundred and twenty thousand units, breaking through to the Late Divine Transformation Realm.
When his gaze fell upon the Void Refinement Realm lightning fruits, he sighed inwardly. It seems like even if I consume all of the Void Refinement Realm lightning fruits, it would still not be enough for my separated soul to break through to the Void Refinement Realm.
There were about 500 Void Refining Thunder Fruits in total, and each Void Refining Thunder Fruit contained about 500 units of magic power.
It took him another month to finish consuming these Void Refinement Lightning Fruits.
At this point, the magic power of Ning Fan's separated soul had broken through to five hundred and fifty thousand units. Both of them had reached the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm.
"I can only improve my separated soul to the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm, huh …?" Ning Fan felt a little regretful but he was already satisfied.
Almost all the undead cultivators in the Divine Domain had been massacred by the Red Specters, but they had only obtained a few million Thunder Fruits.
It was all thanks to Hong Yi that he was able to improve his separated soul to the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm within three months.
If Ning Fan relied on himself to hunt undead creatures to improve his cultivation base, he would definitely not be able to kill Divine Transformation Realm and Void Refinement Realm undead creatures with his Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivation base.
In just three months, Ning Fan's separated soul had gained five hundred and fifty thousand units of magic power. It was really an unexpected gain.
If he summons his separated soul out of the Sovereign Tomb and back into his physical body, the magic power of his true body would break through to one million units in one go!
Ning Fan sat cross-legged on the ground, stabilizing the cultivation base of his separated soul.
Hong Yi remained silent. All of a sudden, she raised one of her hands and pulled the traces of blood-red lightning power into thin threads. Then, they wrapped around Ning Fan's body tightly like a silkworm spinning a cocoon, wrapping him within the lightning threads.
"This is the 'Demon Cocoon' Technique of the demon race. If you stabilize your cultivation base inside the demon cocoon, you can save a lot of time." Hong Yi explained.
Ning Fan sat cross-legged inside the demon cocoon like a butterfly that was about to break out of its cocoon.
He stared at the blood-red lightning cocoon outside his body. For a moment, his eyes were filled with confusion.
Staying inside the lightning cocoon made him feel very warm and safe … It was as if he was staying in his mother's embrace …
This feeling was very familiar. It was extremely familiar … It was as if he had been living inside this lightning cocoon many years ago, waiting for the day he would break out of it.
"Why do I have this kind of feeling …?"
He was puzzled. Eventually, he swept away all the distracting thoughts and focused on stabilizing the cultivation base of his separated soul.
When his separated soul completely stabilized, it was already three days later. Hong Yi removed the lightning cocoon and let Ning Fan out.
Ning Fan looked at Hong Yi indifferently with a blank expression.
"Have I seen you somewhere before …? Seen this lightning cocoon … a long, long time ago …?" Ning Fan asked.
"Perhaps. However, I have already erased all my previous memories. I don't really remember what happened in the past." Hong Yi said casually.
"Is that so …? Where are we going now?"
"Let's go to the Thunder God Palace in the depths of the Divine Region to retrieve my corpse and the other half of my primordial spirit … Let's go!"
Hong Yi stamped her feet on the ground and stood with her hands clasped behind her back. A red lotus thunder cloud appeared on the ground out of nowhere, carrying her and Ning Fan towards the depths of the Divine Region.
This time, none of the undead spirits or ferocious beasts dared to block Hong Yi's path.
Ning Fan stood behind Hong Yi on the thunder cloud and stared at her slender back.
Familiar. Very familiar …
He should have seen this back somewhere before. Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to be so familiar …
That sense of familiarity was deeply rooted in his bones, as if he had lived with this lady for a thousand years. However, when he thought about it carefully, he found his own thoughts laughable.
Thunder Sovereign Bu Zhou became famous tens of thousands of years ago. As for his death, it was ten thousand years ago. At that time, Ning Fan had not been born yet. It was impossible for him to know Hong Yi when she was still alive, let alone live with her for a thousand years …
"Don't let your imagination run wild. The Thunder God Palace is right in front of us. Be careful!" Hong Yi suddenly reminded him.
Ning Fan raised his head abruptly. In front of him stood countless towering mountains.
On the peak of one of the tallest mountains, there was a massive and majestic Thunder God Palace.
Within the Thunder God Palace, there was a vague and obscure qi. That qi was extremely ominous as if it was a devil from the Devil Abyss.
The air gradually became heavy. An invisible pressure spread from the Thunder God Palace, making Ning Fan's Half-Step Void Refinement Realm split soul suffocate.
"My corpse is locked in the left hall of the Thunder God Palace by the Heavenly Dao Lock. The other half of my primordial spirit is sealed in the right hall of the Thunder God Palace with a sinful seal. You are responsible for retrieving my physical body! With the power of your Wind Mist Technique, be it the Heavenly Dao Lock or the sinful seal, you should be able to get rid of them easily, right? "Hong Yi said in an irrefutable manner.
"What about you?"
"Me? I want to clean up my sect and deal with an animal that betrayed its master! "
A hint of killing intent flashed across Hong Yi's eyes. She took a step forward and leaped down from the red lotus thunder cloud. Then, she smiled coldly at the direction of the Thunder God Palace.
"Why are you still not showing yourself?! Come out now! "
As Hong Yi roared, clusters of black qi that resembled dark clouds suddenly rushed out of the Thunder God Palace and condensed into a ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) large black ape.
The ape's body was entangled with chains. Its blood-red eyes were filled with resentment as it stared at Hong Yi in shock.
"Impossible! Your physical body and primordial spirit are clearly sealed in the Thunder God Palace. How can you possibly appear outside the palace?! "
"Why? Are you not going to call me master anymore …? Weeping Soul! "Hong Yi's eyes were filled with even more intense killing intent.
"You are not my master! My master is only the Rain Sovereign! You must die! "The gigantic ape called Weeping Soul roared furiously. Its First Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm aura force spread out crazily.
Ning Fan remained silent for a while. Even though he did not know why Thunder Sovereign Bu Zhou died in the past, he could roughly guess the reason from the conversation between the ape and the human.
The reason why Hong Yi died was probably related to the betrayal of this gigantic ape.
The one who caused Hong Yi's death was most likely the Rain Sovereign.
"What are you still standing here for? Go to the Thunder God Palace and rescue my body and primordial spirit!" Hong Yi suddenly flicked her sleeves. The red lotus thunder cloud carried Ning Fan and flew past the gigantic ape's defense with a speed that was comparable to the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm.
The gigantic ape was shocked. It wanted to stop Ning Fan by raising its gigantic palm and slamming it at the red cloud.
Hong Yi's attack was as fast as lightning. With a point of her finger, billions of lightning bolts suddenly appeared in heaven and earth. They turned into layers of blood-red lightning chains that wrapped around the gigantic ape's arm and blocked its attack.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you hurt him in front of me?!" Hong Yi sneered. She raised her palm and struck it at the gigantic ape.
Even though it was just a casual strike, it contained unimaginable magic power. It suppressed the gigantic ape so much that it could not breathe. After taking Hong Yi's attack head-on, it was sent flying backward. Its gigantic body crushed countless mountains.
"Roar!" The gigantic ape let out a sky-piercing roar as it felt the pain. It exerted its magic power and broke all the chains on its body. Then, it stomped on the mountains and rivers and charged at Hong Yi.
Magic techniques clashed against each other again and again, causing mountains and rivers to crumble.
Ning Fan could feel the terrifying fluctuations of a Void Fragmentation Realm battle behind him. He did not turn his head and there was no need for him to do so.
He believed in Hong Yi's strength. Even if that gigantic ape had the strength of a First Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm expert, it would certainly not be able to escape death in Hong Yi's hands.
He only had one mission and that was to bring Hong Yi's physical body and primordial spirit out from the Thunder God Palace.
There was a rumor that Thunder Sovereign Bu Zhou had created the Sovereign Tomb and was hiding inside it, living in a state where he was neither dead nor alive.
However, in Ning Fan's opinion, Hong Yi had probably been betrayed in the past. She was severely injured and had no choice but to hide her physical body and half of her primordial spirit in the Sovereign Tomb.
As for why the traitor of the gigantic ape was in the Sovereign Tomb, perhaps he was ordered by the Rain Sovereign to guard Hong Yi's body and primordial spirit. Or perhaps there was some other reason. Ning Fan had no idea.
As he approached the entrance of the Thunder God Palace, he leaped down from the red lotus thunder cloud. He turned into a ray of light and stopped in front of the gigantic door of the palace.
It was a gigantic door that was ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall.
Layers of lightning formation light were set up on the gigantic door. The strength of the formation light had already reached the Immortal Void Realm. Even a Void Fragmentation Realm expert would not be able to pass through the formation light and enter the Thunder God Palace without the Thunder Sovereign's order.
Sensing the extraordinary lightning power on the gigantic door, Ning Fan took a gentle breath and stepped on the peak of the mountain. A massive lightning diagram appeared beneath his feet.
At the moment the lightning diagram appeared, Hong Yi who was fighting against the gigantic ape suddenly had a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"The Tai Su Lightning Diagram! This young man is indeed the inheritor of the complete Tai Su Lightning Star. He can even display the lightning diagram of the Tai Su Lightning Emperor. With this lightning diagram, his safety in the Thunder God Palace should not be a problem anymore. In this case, I can finally put my mind at ease and focus on my battle against the Weeping Soul Beast! "
* Rumble *
Ning Fan gently pointed a finger at the gigantic door.
There was nothing fancy about this finger but an unimaginable lightning might spread out from Ning Fan's body. It was as if the person who pointed at the gigantic door was not Ning Fan but an immortal emperor!
It was the finger bone of an immortal emperor. It contained supreme lightning might. No lightning could harm this finger!
The lightning power on the gigantic door dissipated in an instant. Ning Fan pushed the door open and strode into the Thunder God Palace.
The internal structure of the Thunder God Palace was not complicated. It was only divided into the left palace and the right palace. There were also many lightning formations and lightning puppets for defense.
Ning Fan did not even look at those formation lights and spiritual puppets. He just walked towards the left palace quietly.
He had refined the Lightning Emperor's finger bone and condensed the Tai Su Lightning Star. He was standing on the Tai Su Lightning Diagram. At this moment, Ning Fan's arrival in the Thunder God Palace was like the arrival of the lightning emperor. No lightning formations dared to attack Ning Fan! None of the lightning puppets dared to harm Ning Fan!
Ning Fan entered the left palace of the Thunder God Palace without facing any obstacles.
The left palace was extremely empty. There were countless gigantic copper pillars erected on it.
On one of the copper pillars, the corpse of a lady dressed in red robes was tied to the tall copper pillar by a few iron chains which emitted cold qi.
The lady was not breathing as if she was in a deep sleep. Her eyes were closed and her expression was peaceful, like a sleeping beauty.
It was a corpse. It was Hong Yi's body in the past.
There were countless wounds on this corpse. Many of the wounds were so deep that the bones could be seen.
Looking at the countless wounds on Hong Yi's body, Ning Fan's heart ached for no reason.
His friendship with Hong Yi should not be this deep. However, when he saw someone severely injuring her, he actually felt an indescribable anger.
It was as if he saw his best friend who had been with him for a thousand years getting injured. He could not suppress the anger in his heart.
"This is strange! Why do I feel so angry when I see Hong Yi getting injured …? "Ning Fan calmed himself down and his eyes darkened.
His thoughts raced but he could not figure out the source of his anger no matter how hard he tried.
"Forget it. I'll cut off these iron chains first and retrieve Hong Yi's corpse. If I'm not mistaken, these iron chains should be condensed from the power of the Heavenly Dao … Are they the Chains of the Heavenly Dao …? "
Ning Fan raised his finger. Traces of golden-purple wind and sand dispersed and blew towards the Chains of the Heavenly Dao, vowing to turn them into ashes.
Under the power of Samsara, all living beings in the Six Dao were like ants.
The Heavenly Dao was just one of the Six Dao. In front of the power of Samsara, it was nothing!
"Break!"
As soon as Ning Fan uttered a word, the indestructible Chains of the Heavenly Dao began to disintegrate!
The Heavens had pity on them. Those were the Chains of the Heavenly Dao that even Thunder Sovereign Bu Zhou could not break in the past! They were actually turned into ashes by Ning Fan's Wind Mist Finger!
When the iron chains turned into ashes, Hong Yi's corpse fell from the copper pillar and fell to the ground.
Ning Fan's reaction was quick. With a leap, he caught Hong Yi's corpse and held it in his arms.
The cold corpse did not have any warmth. However, when he held it in his arms, it gave Ning Fan a warm feeling that he had not felt for a long time.
That warmth went deep into his bones …
"The physical body is in my hands! But why do I have this strange feeling …? "Ning Fan's eyes were filled with confusion. (To be continued.)
