Ning Fan was trapped inside the Heavenly Tribulation Flame Cauldron. Clusters of flames in the form of qilins engulfed him. Runes interweaved with one another and the Great Dao was suppressing him.
He swung his fists again and again, trying to disperse the sea of flames. However, even with the help of the Stele of Sun and Moon's fire restraining divine ability, he still couldn't disperse the sea of flames. At most, he could only protect himself.
The ancient runes that merged with the sea of flames were too powerful. It increased the power of the void flames to a terrifying level, making it difficult for Ning Fan to move an inch in the sea of flames.
This was the fire tribulation that the Dao Guardian personally sent down. Ordinary Void Glimpse Stage cultivators would definitely die in the tribulation cauldron!
It was already very rare for Ning Fan to be able to temporarily protect himself in the sea of flames.
Ning Fan was surrounded by a sea of fire in all directions. He could not get out of the sea of fire nor could he break the furnace, let alone escape. Naturally, he could not carry out his plan to capture Giant Zhi Huo.
He carefully walked through the sea of fire, but wherever he went, the sea of fire would burn him, not giving him a chance to escape.
Roar!
Within the sea of fire, clusters of crimson flames suddenly turned into hundreds and thousands of Fire Qilins. All of them charged at Ning Fan while letting out furious roars.
Ning Fan immediately stopped in his tracks. His essence qi filled his body and he swung his fists. His attacks were as fast as lightning, killing the fire qilins one after another. At the same time, he was inwardly shocked by how difficult it was to deal with these fire qilins.
These Fire Qilins were made of fire and each of them was above the Soul Formation level.
Ning Fan continued to kill the Fire Qilins. Each time a Fire Qilin was killed, it would scatter into balls of flames at first. However, a moment later, the flames would condense into the shape of a beast again and turn into a qilin to attack him again.
Ning Fan was unable to completely kill any of the Fire Qilins. His magic power and essence qi were being depleted rapidly after each attack.
"This furnace is the heavenly tribulation tribulation furnace summoned by Giant Zhi Huo. It contains the Eight Trigrams, and as long as the Eight Trigrams aren't destroyed, the tribulation furnace won't shatter! The flames within the furnace were tribulation flames. Giant Zhi Huo had fused ancient runes into these flames. As long as the runes were not destroyed, the flames would not be extinguished! The giant then used the Qilin Technique, turning the flames into a Qilin to attack you. It didn't aim to kill you in one fell swoop, but rather to exhaust your magic power so that you would be buried in the tribulation fire. I have to leave the tribulation cauldron as soon as possible. I can't waste my magic power with these Fire Qilins! "
"The arrangement of the sea of fire in this furnace is in accordance with the Yin Yang Eight Trigrams Formation. Even I can't see through the mysteries of this grand formation. You must be careful. If you take a wrong step in the sea of fire, you will be turned into ashes even with the protection of the Stele of Sun and Moon! "
Luo You reminded from within the Yin Yang Locket.
Ning Fan nodded. He also understood that he would not be able to break the tribulation cauldron and tribulation fire by force.
Activating the power of the Heart Array, his eyes intertwined with the array patterns, gradually seeing through the hidden array in the sea of fire.
Although the sea of fire looked messy, there was actually an array formation hidden within. On the eight walls of the Furnace of Tribulation, there were Eight Trigrams Dao Talismans. Hidden in them were Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui, and other Eight Trigrams. Unless the Eight Trigrams were broken, the Furnace of Tribulation would not shatter.
Li represented the Fire Trigram, and the Li position had the strongest fire power.
Xun represented the Wind Trigram. There was wind in the Xun position but there was no fire. However, it stirred up countless fiery smoke that could blind a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator's eyes.
Kan was the water hexagram, water and fire were incompatible. This position was the weakest part of the sea of fire, so it was guarded by the most Fire Qilins.
After dispersing the Heart Formation Pattern, with a single thought, why not charge out of the sea of fire from the Kan position?
As long as Ning Fan gets close to the wall of the cauldron, he would activate all of his magic power to attack the Kan position. He was confident that he could destroy the cauldron in one go!
Ning Fan stepped on the profound formation without making a single wrong step in the sea of fire. Even Luo You would not be able to match his level of attainment in formations.
Those Fire Qilins seemed to have seen through Ning Fan's intention. They roared and rushed towards him, trying to stop him from approaching the wall of the Kan position.
Ning Fan did not show them any mercy. He opened his mouth and breathed out balls of black devil flames, turning them into thousands of black butterflies. All of them flew towards the Fire Qilins and perished together with them.
Stepping on the corpses of the Fire Qilins and the ashes of the butterflies, Ning Fan approached the Kan position of the cauldron step by step. Then, he mercilessly slammed his palm on the Kan position.
All of a sudden, one hundred and eight layers of palm imprints combined into one and heavily struck the wall of the cauldron, shattering the Dao talisman of the Kan trigram.
The entire cauldron began to shake violently. A huge crack appeared on one of the walls of the cauldron. Then, the entire cauldron began to tremble and break into pieces.
Giant Zhi Huo who had a pair of hollow eyes firmly believed that he had already killed Ning Fan.
However, he did not expect that the Heavenly Tribulation Cauldron he summoned would be destroyed by Ning Fan with a single palm strike!
"Impossible!"
The giant could not believe the scene in front of him. He watched helplessly as Ning Fan stepped on countless layers of fire waves and soared into the sky, charging towards him with intense killing intent!
He waved his palm, as if he was ready to cast the fire tribulation to trap Ning Fan again.
This time, however, Ning Fan did not give him the chance to do so.
He performed a hand seal with all ten of his fingers and his eyes suddenly became indifferent and dignified.
He stared at the giant coldly and suddenly pointed a finger at him, displaying the Heaven Sealing Technique!
"Seal!"
With Ning Fan's current cultivation base, it was absolutely impossible for him to seal the giant with just a finger.
However, Ning Fan's unyielding belief was integrated into this finger attack. He did not hope to seal the giant in place. Instead, he just hoped to stop the giant from summoning the heavenly tribulation again.
As Ning Fan pointed his finger at the giant, traces of blood lines suddenly spread out from his body and bound his arm tightly.
The giant let out a furious roar. He exerted force on his arm and broke all the blood lines, breaking free from the Heaven Sealing Technique.
Even though the giant was not sealed in place, he did not have the time to summon the second round of heavenly tribulation because he was stopped by the Heaven Sealing Technique.
The Heaven Sealing Technique was forcefully broken. Blood flowed out from Ning Fan's seven orifices and his eyes looked like those of a deranged devil.
He did not even bother to wipe the blood off his face. Instead, he coldly charged at the giant and displayed the second technique.
He closed his right eye and only opened his left eye. All of a sudden, a black crescent moon appeared in his left eye!
This was the first time Ning Fan used the Life Imprisoning Technique with his unrivalled Void Inquiry Stage strength!
This was the Ancestral Emperor of the Northern Heaven's Mourning Technique! He sacrificed his own life force and lifespan to seal the life of the puppet!
In the past when he was in the Lost World Tower, Ning Fan's cultivation base was still low and he did not have much lifespan left. Thus, he could not seal a large number of Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppets.
However, right now, there was only one spiritual puppet that Ning Fan needed to face. Moreover, his cultivation base was no longer the same as before and his lifespan was limitless!
This giant wanted to summon the heavenly tribulation to kill Ning Fan. Therefore, Ning Fan did not hesitate to capture the giant and make him his slave!
Meeting Ning Fan's cold and dignified eyes and the black crescent moon in his left eye, it was the first time Giant Zhi Huo felt a sense of extreme danger from Ning Fan!
What a terrifying gaze it was. it was as if he was above all spiritual puppets! It was as if he was standing at the peak of all living beings! It was as if the person standing in front of Giant Zhi Huo was not Ning Fan but the Ancestral Emperor of the Northern Heaven who used to control all the spiritual puppets in the world!
Fear!
As the messenger of the Heavenly Dao, Giant Zhi Huo actually felt a hint of fear towards Ning Fan!
He had an intuition that he must not let Ning Fan get close to him! He must not let Ning Fan display the complete crescent moon technique! Otherwise, even if he was a Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppet and his cultivation base was higher than Ning Fan, he would still be in danger!
He opened his mouth wide and breathed out dark red void fire that blotted out the sky. The fire condensed into a gigantic flaming mountain. The light of the flames covered the entire sky within a million li * (500m per li) and it suddenly pressed down on Ning Fan!
The gigantic mountain was infused with all of Giant Zhi Huo's magic power. Even a Void Fragmentation Realm expert would be severely injured if they are hit by it!
Luo You originally wanted to help Ning Fan get rid of this gigantic mountain but she was rejected by him.
In the past, when Ning Fan was at the Nascent Soul Realm, he was able to capture the Divine Transformation Realm stone soldier.
Now that his magic power was about to break through to the Void Glimpse Stage and his ancient devil cultivation base had reached the Mid Reckless Devil Realm, it was not impossible for him to capture a Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppet!
If he were to borrow Luo You's magic power, even if he managed to capture Giant Zhi Huo, he would definitely suffer a severe backlash that would injure him for several months. He didn't want to spend that time recuperating.
He stared at the flame giant and suddenly patted his storage pouch. He took out three Void Fragmentation Realm jade slips and crushed them without any hesitation.
As the three Void Fragmentation Realm jade slips shattered, three giant shadows of the Mist Horn Tribe's ancestor appeared in the sky all of a sudden. All of them swung their gigantic fists at the blazing mountain!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Giant Zhi Huo's full-powered attack was no small matter. A Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip alone would certainly not be able to stop that huge mountain.
However, when the three jade slips were used at the same time and the three giants attacked at the same time, the flame giant was instantly smashed into pieces!
After one strike, the three giant phantoms all disappeared. Giant Zhi Huo's eyes widened in shock. He could not imagine that his full-powered attack would be blocked by Ning Fan.
The gigantic mountain crumbled into clusters of remnant flames and flew towards Ning Fan, trying to stop him from advancing.
Ning Fan's right eye was tightly shut while his left eye flashed with a cold light. A black crescent moon was about to emerge from his body. He fearlessly dashed towards the remnant flames.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The remnant flames were also infused with ancient runes, making them extremely terrifying. In just an instant, they burned Ning Fan's physical body into ashes!
Before Giant Zhi Huo could feel relieved after killing Ning Fan, he suddenly saw countless black shadows spreading across the sky. They turned into thousands of black butterflies that danced in the air.
The butterflies merged into one. Ning Fan who was dressed in black robes reappeared in front of the giant with his black hair fluttering wildly in the wind.
No matter how the remnant flames burned him into ashes time and time again, he still had that unyielding obsession that even the messenger of the Heavenly Dao could not erase!
"Incarnation Technique!" Giant Zhi Huo was shocked by the scene in front of him.
It was as if the black-robed young man in front of him was not a human but a black butterfly.
This butterfly was filled with crazy obsession. Even if its wings were to be burned to ashes, even if its Dao and life were to perish, it still wanted to protect the obsession in its heart from reincarnation!
I won't regret even if I turn into ashes. I will use my butterfly to defy reincarnation!
The giant's aura force weakened and he instinctively took half a step back.
At this moment, Ning Fan had already passed through the remnant flames and appeared in front of the giant!
Ten thousand years, twenty thousand years, thirty thousand years …
Ning Fan was madly sacrificing his lifespan in order to maximize the power of the Life Imprisoning Technique!
He sacrificed fifty thousand years of lifespan in one go. At this moment, the black crescent moon in his left eye was dazzling, giving Giant Zhi Huo a feeling that he was invincible!
"Puppets of the one hundred million worlds, none of you can take my life. All of you will become my Life Imprisoning Technique!"
"Mourning Technique, Life Imprisoning Technique! I will imprison your life with a single finger! "
The black crescent moon in Ning Fan's left eye shone brightly!
At this moment, Giant Zhi Huo stared at Ning Fan in disbelief. He felt that all of his puppet techniques were going to be destroyed under Ning Fan's cold gaze. He could not even muster up the will to resist!
Thousands of black crescent moon marks appeared densely on the giant's body. It was completely different from Stone Warrior who only had a single moon mark.
After being implanted with the black moon mark, Giant Zhi Huo felt a chill in his heart. To his shock, he realized that his life and death were actually controlled by the moon mark and he had become Ning Fan's slave puppet. He could no longer disobey Ning Fan's orders!
He was a dignified Void Fragmentation Realm puppet, the messenger of the Heavenly Dao who sent down the tribulation. How could he submit to a cultivator from the mortal world?!
"I can't accept this! I can't accept this! "
He roared furiously and tried his best to resist. However, he could not break free from the restraint of the moon mark and lost control of his body.
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with coldness. All of a sudden, he leaped into the air and stood on the top of the giant's skull. Then, he squatted down and waved his hand to activate his memory power, erasing all of the puppet's memories.
As the messenger of the Heavenly Dao, the giant naturally had spiritual intelligence and memories. After erasing these memories, this giant would only submit to Ning Fan from now on!
"Zhi Huo … greets my lord!"
The giant knelt on the fiery clouds and bowed respectfully to Ning Fan.
"W-What?! A Void Fragmentation Realm Dao Guardian actually submitted to Marquis White Robe? What exactly happened?! "One of the cultivators of the Sword Island was astonished.
"We don't know! We don't know! However, if this matter spreads, it will certainly cause an unimaginable sensation in the Rain World! "A cultivator of the Pill Island said in shock.
Ning Fan leaped down from the giant's skull and stood tall in the sky. He pointed a finger at Giant Zhi Huo and the giant turned into a fiery red puppet the size of a palm. Then, he kept the puppet into his storage pouch.
Looking at the countless cultivators below, Xiao Chen sighed slightly. The scene of subduing Giant Zhi Huo was simply too shocking. Perhaps he would have to use his state of memory to erase the memories of most of the cultivators.
"I didn't expect you to really subdue this giant puppet … but in this way, you have completely offended the Heavenly Dao of the lower realm. The Heavenly Dao abided by the laws of the heavens and could not casually send a tribulation to retaliate against cultivators. The Heavenly Dao will not plot against you, but when you break through in the future, the Heavenly Dao will send down an unimaginably terrifying Heavenly Tribulation. Perhaps when you break through to the Void Inquiry Stage, the Heavenly Dao will send down a Void Fragmentation Realm heavenly tribulation to toy with you to death … Hopefully, you can withstand that level of heavenly tribulation … "In the Profound Yin World, Luo You clicked her tongue and sighed with a teasing tone.
"Offending the Heavenly Dao … If that's the case, I'll have to be extra careful when I make a breakthrough in the future and prepare a large number of magical treasures and spiritual herbs for the tribulation?"
Ning Fan smiled disapprovingly.
Even if the Heavenly Dao would send down a Void Fragmentation Realm heavenly tribulation on the day he breaks through to the Void Inquiry Stage, he would accept it.
In order to obtain a Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppet, one must always pay a price, right?
Today, with this Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppet, Ning Fan's safety factor increased exponentially …
Borrowing Luo You's magic power would cause him to suffer a severe backlash for a few months. However, there would not be any backlash when he controls the spiritual puppet to kill his enemies.
"Next, I'll break through to the Void Glimpse Stage in one go …"
Ning Fan looked at the tribulation flames that were dispersing in all directions and calmed his mind. Then, he sorted out his comprehension of the void, touched the bottleneck of the Void Glimpse Stage and broke through it.
At this moment, his magic power and aura force broke through to the Void Glimpse Stage. His magic power skyrocketed, almost reaching one and a half million units!
Magic power: one and a half million units. Early Void Refinement Realm!
Essence qi: nine million units. Mid Reckless Devil Realm!
The sum of his magic power and essence qi had already exceeded ten million units. Even an ordinary Void Pierce Stage cultivator would only have ten million units of magic power!
"Next, let's get down to business."
Ning Fan released the power of his memory intent realm and swept across countless cultivators. Other than Venerated Sword and a few other cultivators whose memories were not erased, the rest of the low-grade cultivators had their memories erased …
I'll keep the existence of Giant Zhi Huo a secret for now and keep it as my trump card …
If there are more Dao Guardians to send tribulations to me during the next heavenly tribulation, he would not mind capturing a few more Heavenly Dao Puppets. (To be continued.)
