The Void Fragmentation Realm Dao Fruit and the gourd of blood wine were all assimilated into his body.
Ning Fan sat alone on the peak of the lone mountain and sat in a cross-legged position for a whole month.
His eyes were tightly shut the entire time. What he was refining was not just the Dao fruit and blood wine, but also the comprehension of the Dao that he had cultivated for many years.
Ning Fan's magic power and qi became stronger day by day. However, his body became fainter and fainter, as if he was going to vanish from this world.
At the Void Glimpse Stage, the void was nothing but a void.
At the Void Inquiry Stage, what you see is not the void.
The fainter his body became, the more profound his comprehension of the word 'void' was.
After cultivating for forty years, his bone age would be nine hundred years old. Many cultivators were still struggling to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm at this bone age but Ning Fan was already trying to break through to the Void Inquiry Stage …
After one month, Ning Fan's magic power had already exceeded 8 million units. He had long surpassed the threshold of 3 million units of magic power of the Void Inquiry Stage.
However, he still could not break through to the Void Inquiry Stage successfully. He was still a step away from crossing that bottleneck.
"Looking at the illusion isn't an illusion …"
Ning Fan patted his storage pouch, took out a Void Inquiry Pill and swallowed it in one go.
His figure became fainter and more transparent, as if he was just a mirage …
"This is unbelievable! This person was merely a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator but he actually had such a profound understanding of the word 'void'. His body was almost completely turning into the void … Turning his physical body into the void! Not many Void Fragmentation Realm experts in the entire Rain Immortal World could achieve this! This kind of divine ability has nothing to do with one's cultivation base. It completely depends on the cultivator's own comprehension of the word 'void' … This kid has such a terrifying comprehension ability! "In the demon cave that was tens of millions of li * (500m per li) away, the two Void Pierce Stage female demons were bewildered.
"Humph. So what? This young man is just a Void Glimpse Stage expert after all. Even if he succeeds in breaking through to the Void Inquiry Stage, he is just a mere Void Inquiry Stage expert. No matter how high one's comprehension was, it couldn't be used as a method to destroy the enemy. Perhaps one day, after he attains the Void Pierce Stage or Absolute Void Stage by luck, the three of us won't be a match for him anymore. However, if he is only at the Void Glimpse Stage or Void Inquiry Stage, he is definitely not a match for the three of us! This person will definitely die in our hands! Let's go, it's about time to hunt this person! "
The female demon of the Great Void Realm let out a disdainful snort. Then, she led the other two demons to turn into rays of light and left the demon cave, heading straight to the desolate island where Ning Fan was.
On the desolate island, Ning Fan's figure was as faint as a shadow. However, his comprehension of the word 'void' was improving bit by bit.
He opened his eyes and stared blankly at the quiet void below the spatial barrier.
As his figure gradually turned illusory, he seemed to hear the sound of breathing in the endless void.
That was … the Soul of Void!
He was slightly stunned, and then he raised his hand and pointed with a finger. He shattered the space in the surrounding tens of thousands of kilometers, and then he stretched out his hand and grabbed towards the boundless space.
It was just a grab, but he vaguely felt like he was holding something in his hand …
"Is this the Void Soul … Soul Extraction!"
At this moment, Ning Fan extracted the Void Soul that was tens of thousands of li * (500m per li) away with his illusory body.
If this Void Soul was fused into his body, his magic power would definitely increase greatly in a short period of time!
The Art of Soul Extraction, from the lowest to the highest, were: Extracting the Soul of the Earth, the Soul of the Void, the Soul of the Sun, the Moon, and the Soul of the Heavenly Dao.
In the past, when he was possessed by Lightning Emperor Tai Su, he created the Soul Extraction Technique that could extract the Six Dao Souls with the help of his comprehension of the unity of heaven and man. However, this technique was definitely not something that he could display right now. It was also not something that he had comprehended step by step.
Today, however, Ning Fan was able to hear the breath of the Void Soul and extract it. It was obvious that he had already cultivated the Soul Extracting Technique to the second level!
Ning Fan reckoned that if he breaks through to the Void Inquiry Stage and uses the Void Soul Extraction Technique, he could even obtain Void Pierce Stage magic power for a short period of time with the help of a secret technique!
"With my understanding of the word 'void', I can now extract the soul of the void … This is an unexpected surprise …"
Ning Fan dispersed the Void Soul in the center of his palm, allowing the hollow space within ten thousand li * (500m per li) to heal. Then, he closed his eyes again.
As he continued to refine the Void Inquiry Pill, his understanding towards the word 'void' grew deeper and deeper. Scenes of the past also appeared in his mind.
As an orphan, he was adopted by the Ning Clan. As a servant, he was framed. As a mortal, he fell into the Devil Dao. As a devil cultivator, he ran amok in the Rain World …
He still remembered the sorrow of being bullied by countless Evil Women that night at Mount Li Hen. He still remembered the touch of warmth in the snowstorm of Seven Apricot City.
He still remembered the loneliness of killing countless people along the way. He also remembered the intertwining of life and death with each and every beauty …
The sea of blood in the cultivation world, the gratitude and enmity of the past, suddenly felt like a dream, everything seemed illusory …
However, along the way, be it sadness or happiness, all of them were so real to him.
Ning Fan opened his eyes indifferently. His eyes were calm but persistent. His mind was wandering between the two words' void 'and' reality '. Finally, he caught the pathway of the bottleneck of the Void Inquiry Stage …
"I want … the Void Inquiry Stage!"
All of a sudden, a wave of Void Inquiry Stage aura force surged from his body, sweeping across the area within hundreds of thousands of li * (500m per li) of the desolate island.
He suddenly stood up and stood at the peak of the lone mountain. His body that had turned incorporeal again.
At this moment, his cultivation base had officially broken through to the Void Inquiry Stage!
* Rumble * * Rumble * * Rumble *
At this moment, countless purple tribulation clouds suddenly appeared in the sky!
The purple tribulation clouds were surrounded by terrifying lightning bolts. It stretched across one million li * (500m per li) of the desolate island. Its aura force was terrifying. Its power was almost comparable to the heavenly tribulation of a Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator!
Among the layers of purple lightning clouds, a ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per li) giant wearing purple armor stood coldly. His body was covered with ancient runes and he was holding an extremely thick lightning chain in his hand!
"It's actually the purple lightning tribulation clouds! Another Dao Guardian has actually appeared! "In the Profound Yin World, Luo You's eyes were filled with astonishment.
There were three types of heavenly tribulations that cultivators at the First Step of Cultivation had to go through.
The heavenly tribulations that cultivators who had yet to reach the Divine Transformation Realm would go through were all lightning tribulations. After that, it would be fire tribulations. As for Void Fragmentation Realm cultivators, it would be Yin Wind Tribulations.
Normally, the Void Inquiry Stage heavenly tribulations would only be fire tribulations. It would never be any other kind of heavenly tribulations.
Normally, it was impossible for Dao Guardians to send tribulations to ordinary cultivators. Only those great devils would be personally killed by the Dao Guardians …
Obviously, the heavenly tribulation that Ning Fan was undergoing had already gone beyond common sense. He had been targeted by the Heavenly Dao of the lower world. No cultivator had ever experienced a Void Inquiry Stage heavenly tribulation with Void Fragmentation Realm power …
Previously, the Heavenly Dao of the lower world had sent Giant Zhi Huo to send a fire tribulation but it failed to eliminate Ning Fan.
It was as if the Heavenly Dao knew that Ning Fan possessed a supreme treasure that could restrain fire. Thus, it no longer sent a fire tribulation but a purple lightning tribulation instead, intending to eliminate Ning Fan in one go!
This kind of lightning tribulation was extremely rare. The purple lightning released by the tribulation clouds could turn into lightning chains that could lock any cultivator below the Void Fragmentation Realm. Even a First Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator would have a hard time withstanding the lightning chains!
"What a strong lightning tribulation. Even if I have the Tai Su Lightning Diagram, it won't be easy for me to transcend it!" Ning Fan's expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
Ten thousand li * (500m per li) away from the desolate island, the three immortals were quietly lying in ambush, waiting for Ning Fan to finish his tribulation and launch a sneak attack.
The three of them were initially disdainful towards Ning Fan. However, when they saw the extremely terrifying purple lightning tribulation clouds, all of them were so shocked that they were speechless.
When they saw the purple lightning giant standing within the tribulation clouds, all of their faces turned pale with fright.
"A Dao Guardian! It's actually the heavenly tribulation envoy who personally sent the tribulation to this man! "
"How is this possible?! How is this possible?! According to the ancient records, only cultivators who have committed heinous crimes will be personally sent by the Dao Guardian. Could it be that this Void Glimpse Stage – no, Void Inquiry Stage man has actually committed an extremely terrifying crime?! "
"A Dao Guardian at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm … Scary. This is really too scary! This purple lightning tribulation cloud has covered the sky of one million li * (500m per li). The entire island is within the range of the tribulation. The three of us can't get close to the island at all and ambush this person. Otherwise, we will be attacked by the heavenly tribulation together and we will be turned into ashes in an instant! "
The three of them were frightened by the terrifying aura of Ning Fan's tribulation. How would they still have the intention to hunt him down? All they wanted to do was to run away as soon as possible to avoid getting involved with him and getting attacked by the heavenly tribulation messengers.
Unfortunately, it was already a little too late for them to run away now.
A few traces of purple lightning in the air suddenly turned into purple lightning chains, binding the three of them tightly.
Even with their cultivation bases, they actually could not break free from these purple lightning chains at all. In just an instant, they had already suffered serious injuries!
The purple lightning was eroding their bodies bit by bit. Even though they used all of their demon power to resist the purple lightning, their injuries were still getting worse.
Even though their lives were not in danger for the time being, they could not escape from this damned place! If they let their injuries continue to get worse, it would only be a matter of time before they die!
The three of them were clearly standing ten thousand li * (500m per li) away from the heavenly tribulation. Even so, they were already in such a miserable state after just being affected by the stray lightning tribulation.
It was imaginable how dangerous it was for Ning Fan who was in the center of the lightning tribulation.
The purple lightning giant's eyes were cold. It looked down at Ning Fan and abruptly activated the lightning chains and said coldly.
"My name is purple lightning. Since you have captured Zhi Huo, I will exercise my authority on behalf of the Heavenly Dao and kill you! The Heavenly Dao will be the shackles and you will be my prisoner … Shackles! "
The voice of the purple lightning giant was like thunder and its breath was like a rainstorm, making Ning Fan's eardrums hurt from the vibrations.
The giant had only activated a single lightning chain but the tribulation cloud within one million li * (500m per li) shot out billions of purple lightning bolts, turning into billions of lightning chains that flew towards Ning Fan.
Those lightning chains were formed by lightning. The speed of the lightning was unimaginably fast. It could cover six hundred thousand li * (500m per li) in a single breath. Even an Absolute Void Stage cultivator would find it hard to reach such a speed.
Ning Fan also moved at lightning speed. In an instant, he activated the one hundred layers of Mortal Void Stage formation light to their maximum.
In an instant, billions of purple lightning bolts bombarded the Mortal Void Stage formation light.
* Boom *
More than forty of the one hundred layers of Mortal Void Stage formation light collapsed in an instant. The barren island was almost destroyed. However, it managed to block the purple lightning bolts in the end.
The giant's first round of lightning tribulation was blocked by Ning Fan with the formation light!
"Hmm?"
The purple lightning giant was a little surprised. He did not expect Ning Fan to be so well-prepared. He actually used so many Mortal Void Stage grand formations to block the heavenly tribulation.
He made a grabbing motion with his hand and the purple lightning bolts in the sky condensed into a lightning chain again. Then, he threw the lightning chain into the sky once again.
In just a few breaths' time, the second round of lightning tribulation descended!
The destructive power of the second round of lightning tribulation was much scarier than the first round. With just a single strike, it destroyed all the remaining formation light.
The remaining purple lightning tribulation turned into lightning chains that flew towards Ning Fan at a terrifying speed.
Ning Fan looked at the purple lightning chains that filled the sky and his heart was filled with an endless sense of danger.
Once he is bound by the purple lightning chains, it would be extremely difficult for him to escape.
"This purple lightning giant is bent on killing me. No matter how many times I block the heavenly tribulation, he will still continue to send tribulations. Instead of delaying the battle with him, I might as well end the battle as soon as possible! "
Ning Fan suddenly stomped on the lonely mountain below his feet. The entire mountain immediately shattered into countless broken rocks. A massive blood-red lightning diagram appeared beneath his feet, absorbing all the purple lightning bolts that were attacking Ning Fan into the lightning diagram.
He patted his storage pouch, took out the ancient golden sword and stood on the tip of the sword.
Ning Fan waved his hand and tossed out countless immortal crystals. His body turned into a pure golden sword light and approached the purple lightning giant at lightning speed at a speed comparable to a Void Fragmentation Realm expert!
"You're courting death!"
When the purple lightning giant saw Ning Fan daring to rush towards him, his eyes were filled with rage.
He was the Dao Guardian, the messenger of the heavenly tribulation and a Void Fragmentation Realm puppet that wielded authority on behalf of the heavens! In the long river of time, the purple lightning giant had once sent the purple lightning tribulation to several slaughtering devils in the Lower Nine Worlds.
Each and every one of those devils could be considered as peerless and ferocious devils. However, when facing the terrifying purple lightning of the purple lightning giant, they were still fearful.
However, Ning Fan was different. There was no trace of fear in his eyes. Instead, there was only strong battle intent. He swore to fight against the heavenly tribulation!
This fearless gaze caused the Violet Lightning Giant to be enraged.
In his opinion, Ning Fan was simply looking down on the heavenly might. This was unforgivable!
Without any hesitation, the purple lightning giant made a grabbing motion and sent the third round of heavenly tribulation towards Ning Fan!
Ning Fan did not slow down at all. He dashed towards the purple lightning bolts in the sky without any fear. All of a sudden, he patted his storage pouch and took out a fiery red puppet.
The puppet grew in the wind and instantly turned into a flaming giant.
As soon as the flaming giant appeared, it received Ning Fan's order and threw a punch at the purple lightning bolts in the sky without hesitation. The destructive power of a Void Fragmentation Realm attack shattered all the purple lightning bolts in the sky!
The third round of purple lightning bolts was still blocked!
"Zhi Huo, how dare you rebel against the heavens?! You are a slave of the Heavenly Dao in vain! "The purple lightning giant yelled furiously.
"There is only one master!" Zhi Huo said with a blank expression.
The purple lightning giant would never know that Ning Fan had already used the Life Imprisonment Technique of the Ancestral Emperor of the Northern Heaven to erase his spiritual intelligence. He had already become a puppet killer who only obeyed Ning Fan's orders. He would no longer obey any orders from the Heavenly Dao of the lower worlds.
Giant Zhi Huo shattered layers of tribulation clouds and dashed towards the purple lightning giant, confronting it from afar.
Facing Giant Zhi Huo, even the purple lightning giant felt a little pressured. In terms of cultivation base, he was slightly weaker than Zhi Huo.
At this moment, the purple lightning giant no longer had the intention to send the tribulation to Ning Fan. He had to focus all his attention on confronting Zhi Huo. He no longer had the mood to deal with Ning Fan.
As Ning Fan gave the order, Giant Zhi Huo waved his fiery fists and attacked the purple lightning giant like a storm.
The purple lightning giant also waved his fiery fists and fought against Zhi Huo.
The battle between the two Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppets shattered the vast sky within one million li * (500m per li per li). The strong wind that was produced blew past the faces of the three female demons, causing them to feel pain on their faces. Their eyes were filled with deep fear.
"Mad Madman! This man is a madman. He actually possesses a Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppet and dares to fight against the messenger of the heavenly tribulation. Isn't he afraid of offending the Heavenly Dao?! "
"No. Sister, can't you see it?! The Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppet in that madman's body is another Dao Guardian! He has already offended the Heavenly Dao of the lower worlds. That's why his Void Inquiry Stage heavenly tribulation is so terrifying. That's why he set up one hundred Mortal Void Grand Formations to transcend his tribulation! "
"If we knew that this man is such a madman, the three of us wouldn't have come to capture him even if we had to die. Now, we are trapped in this place by the purple lightning of the heavenly tribulation …"
The three female demons showed regretful expressions. They hated themselves for coming to this place and getting involved in this mess.
The three of them wished they could run away immediately. However, they were trapped by the purple lightning and could not move at all …
Ning Fan stepped on the ancient golden sword and shuttled through the layers of purple lightning tribulation clouds, heading straight for the purple lightning giant.
In order to capture Giant Zhi Huo previously, Ning Fan had sacrificed fifty thousand years of his lifespan. This time, he still wanted to capture the purple lightning giant. However, he did not know how much more lifespan he would have to sacrifice.
Compared to the time when he captured the puppet giant previously, the situation was slightly better.
Ning Fan's magic power had greatly improved compared to the last time. The purple lightning giant, on the other hand, was slightly weaker than Giant Zhi Huo. Thus, the difficulty of capturing the purple lightning giant would naturally be lower compared to the last time. The amount of lifespan he would lose should also be lesser …
After consuming some longevity pills and some longevity pills of the Shedding Orchid Sect, Ning Fan only had around fifty thousand years of lifespan left. It should be enough for him to capture the purple lightning giant …
However, after capturing the purple lightning giant, Ning Fan would certainly not have much lifespan left.
If another Void Fragmentation Realm puppet appears during his next breakthrough to the Void Pierce Stage, Ning Fan might not have enough lifespan to capture it …
Moreover, Ning Fan was still uncertain about the fact that the Void Inquiry Stage heavenly tribulation this time was already comparable to the heavenly tribulation of the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm. The next heavenly tribulation of the Void Pierce Stage would probably be even more terrifying …
"Silly little brother, now you know how troublesome it is to offend the Heavenly Dao of the mortal world, don't you? The next heavenly tribulation of the Void Pierce Stage might be even harder to overcome … There's also the Absolute Void Heavenly Tribulation and the Void Fragmentation Realm heavenly tribulation in the future … * Hehe *, I no longer dare to imagine how dangerous it will be for you when you break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm. Perhaps you will really die under one of the heavenly tribulations ~ "Luo You sounded like she was teasing him but her words were deeply concerned.
"There's nothing I can do even if I offend the Heavenly Dao of the mortal world. From the moment I captured Giant Zhi Huo, this path was already destined … Since there's no turning back, why should I regret it?! "
Ning Fan suddenly kept his ancient golden sword and stood one hundred thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away from the giant.
His eyes gradually turned cold and dignified. His life force was depleting rapidly. He had lost nearly thirty thousand years of lifespan. An ancient aura force rose around his body as if he was standing at the peak of all living beings!
He slowly closed his right eye and a black crescent moon suddenly appeared in his left eye.
At the moment the crescent moon appeared, the back of the giant was drenched in cold sweat. He turned his head in disbelief and met Ning Fan's extremely cold eyes.
"Purple lightning, from today onwards, you will be my second heavenly tribulation puppet!"
"Impossible! This is impossible! Ahh! "
The giant's body shuddered. It was in an indescribable pain. Countless black crescent moon runes appeared on its body.
It wanted to resist these crescent moon runes but Ning Fan suddenly got close to it and erased all of its spiritual consciousness!
The purple lightning tribulation clouds that filled the sky gradually dispersed. The giant's eyes gradually became empty.
With a loud bang, the giant suddenly knelt down in front of Ning Fan and kowtowed respectfully. "Purple lightning … greets my lord!"
In the Profound Yin World, Luo You heaved a sigh of relief and revealed an admiring expression. "This silly brother actually captured another heavenly tribulation puppet. He must have gone mad … Elder Sister really admires him …"
Ten thousand li * (500m per li) away from the desolate island, as the giant surrendered, the tribulation clouds that filled the sky dissipated. The purple lightning chains on the three demonesses also disappeared.
The moment the purple lightning chains disappeared, the three demonesses' faces turned pale. They could not care less about suppressing their injuries and fled to the direction of the courtyard with all their might!
Terrifying. It's too terrifying. The person they wanted to hunt was actually such a terrifying madman who possessed a heavenly tribulation puppet and captured a second one … Putting aside his cultivation base, the fact that he had two Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppets alone was enough for him to run amok in the Rain World and make the Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters of the Rain World wary …
With their insignificant cultivation base, if they provoke him, they would simply be courting death!
"Trying to leave?"
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with cold light. He pointed at Zhi Huo and Purple Lightning, turning them back into puppets and keeping them in his storage pouch.
After that, he stepped on the ancient golden sword and chased after the three demonesses.
The speed of the ancient golden sword was close to the Void Fragmentation Realm. How could the three demonesses escape from it?!
As soon as they realized that Ning Fan was chasing after them, their scalps went numb and their faces were filled with despair.
"D-We're doomed! That malefic star has caught up to us! We're dead! "(To be continued.)
