The moment the black and white rings appeared, the ten suns in the sky of the illusion exploded one after another. The sky began to darken, but the earth began to shake. Magma surged and raging flames ignited volcanoes!
The ring shadow flickered. Gradually, the heaven and earth were filled with an unimaginable soul power that could shatter the medicine soul of any Fifth Revolution Pill Master!
This was the soul force of countless fallen Pill Refinement Masters in the Heavenly Dao. It was the reward given by the heaven and earth to a Seventh Revolution Pill Refinement Master!
A Fifth Revolution Pill Master was not qualified to observe the breakthrough of a Seventh Revolution Pill Master! A Fifth Revolution Pill Refinement Master would not be able to withstand the impact of the soul power of heaven and earth!
Volcanoes erupted one after another, and a rain of fire soared into the sky. However, it suddenly fell down, attacking the Alchemy Sovereign's position.
Right now, Pill Sovereign was sweating profusely, he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, he had already started breaking through the bottleneck of rank seven.
Behind him stood a towering ancient tree. It was the form of his medicine soul.
The ancient tree's branches were luxuriant and lush, emitting a faint layer of soul power light barrier that kept the rain of fire outside of the light barrier.
Ning Fan raised his head and looked at the sky. His face was solemn as he stared at the black and white rings.
"This black and white ring is the first ring of the Heavenly Dao — the Ring of Life and Death. If a cultivator at the first step of cultivation can't escape the restriction of the first ring of Heavenly Dao, he won't be able to live forever … "Luo You explained.
"Is this mere black and white ring shadow the Heavenly Dao of the lower realm …?"
Ning Fan's eyes turned solemn. He must have offended the Heavenly Dao of Black and White.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but when he raised his head to look at the black and white ring, he vaguely felt that the black and white ring had transformed into a huge eyeball. The pupil of the eyeball was black and white, and it blinked at him …
When he tried to distinguish it, he found that the black and white ring did not change at all, as if it was just an illusion.
For a split second, there seemed to be a trace of sharp Qi Ji that spread out from the ring shadow and locked onto Ning Fan.
The Heavenly Dao of the lower world seemed to have recognized Ning Fan. It recognized that this person was the one who had repeatedly captured the messengers of the heavenly tribulation and offended the heavenly prestige.
Moments later, however, the qi that locked onto Ning Fan dispersed.
Tian Huan had appeared today because Dan Huang had a breakthrough in pill skill.
Even though the Heavenly Dao hated Ning Fan, it had a clear distinction between right and wrong. It did not have the intention of punishing Ning Fan for violating the rules.
All of a sudden, a lazy female voice spread out from the Heavenly Dao Ring and entered Ning Fan's ears. Other than him, no one else could hear this voice.
"Junior of the Rain Immortal World, you have guts to repeatedly injure my puppet from the lower realm. This old man has controlled Tian Huan for a hundred and fifty million years. You are the first cultivator that dares to publicly defy the heavens. Although your sins are heavy, this old man can distinguish right from wrong. I will not punish you privately. I can see that you are not far away from the Void Ascension Heavenly Tribulation. This old man is looking forward to your death in the heavenly tribulation … I hope you can safely transcend the tribulation … "
That voice seemed to have chuckled. Then, it disappeared in an instant, as if it came from an extremely distant place. The Pill Sovereign and Luo You could not hear it. Only Ning Fan could hear it.
Ning Fan's eyes widened in shock. Who exactly is the lady who uttered those words? How could her divine ability be so terrifying …
Ruling Tian Huan for one hundred and fifty million years. Was this woman an immortal emperor …
Ning Fan let out a sigh. He did not expect that he would be targeted by a terrifying lady while resisting the heavenly tribulation emissary.
Fortunately, this lady was a person who enforced the law impartially. She did not do anything to Ning Fan.
Even though the heavenly tribulations were getting more and more terrifying every time he faced the Void Glimpse Stage heavenly tribulation, it did not mean that the heavenly tribulations did not leave him with a chance of survival …
Even though Ning Fan's heavenly tribulation was terrifying, its power was still limited to the first step of the Heavenly Dao Realm. It was not heaven-defying enough to summon an immortal tribulation.
An immortal tribulation was a heavenly tribulation that the second step of the Heavenly Dao would bestow upon immortals … If Ning Fan encounters that kind of heavenly tribulation, he would die immediately without any need to struggle.
With this lady's strength, she could kill Ning Fan in an instant. However, she did not abuse her strength and did not break the rules by summoning an immortal tribulation to kill him. Thus, she could not be considered as an enemy.
Ning Fan could vaguely feel that even though this lady hoped that he would die in the next Void Pierce Stage heavenly tribulation, she also seemed to be looking forward to him defying the heavens and overcoming the tribulation …
The excessively terrifying heavenly tribulations might be a kind of test. As for the heavenly tribulation puppets, they were also considered as rewards …
"Ning Fan! What are you still doing? Quickly absorb the soul power that is scattered in the world! "The Pill Sovereign suddenly opened his eyes and urged.
Ning Fan did not say anything else. He had already decided not to absorb the Pill Sovereign's soul power.
The soul power bestowed by heaven and earth to every Seventh Revolution Pill Refinement Master was limited.
Even if an ordinary Peak Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Master completely absorbs the soul power bestowed by heaven and earth, they might not be able to break through to the Seventh Revolution.
If Ning Fan absorbs the soul power of heaven and earth from the Pill Sovereign, the success rate of the Pill Sovereign's breakthrough would be lowered …
Ning Fan was not a kind person. It was just that the Pill Sovereign had treated him kindly. Thus, he would not repay his kindness with enmity!
He suddenly stood up. He did not have the intention to absorb the soul power of heaven and earth. Instead, he turned into a ray of light, broke through the protection of the ancient tree and soared into the sky.
"I will help you block the tribulation!"
His words were concise, powerful, and unwavering.
The Pill Sovereign was stunned when he heard what Ning Fan said. Then, his eyes were filled with gratitude.
"Silly child … This is a rare opportunity! If you absorb some of the soul power of heaven and earth, you might be able to attain the High Grade Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm in one go. "
"I don't lack opportunities in my life. If I don't have one, I can just snatch it by force. However, my Dao Heart cannot be lacking! "
Ning Fan's eyes were resolute. He opened his mouth and swallowed the fiery rain that fell from the sky into his stomach.
He waved his hand and gathered the scattered soul power of heaven and earth near the ancient tree for the Pill Sovereign to absorb.
He took out several formation discs and formed layers of Mortal Void Realm formation light near the ancient tree!
He knew that the moment the Pill Sovereign absorbed all the soul power of heaven and earth, he would have to undergo the heavenly tribulation's test!
The Pill Sovereign's Seventh Revolution Pill Tribulation was not a trivial matter. If Ning Fan helped him, it could also increase the Pill Sovereign's chances of advancing to the next level.
The Pill Sovereign sighed and closed his eyes. He could grant Ning Fan the opportunity. However, if Ning Fan insists on not accepting it, he could not force him to do so.
After sighing, he felt more gratified than anything else.
He did not misjudge Ning Fan. The disciple that he fancied was indeed an outstanding person. However, this young man already had a great teacher. Thus, he was not fated to be his disciple in this lifetime …
"Forget it … If you don't accept my soul power of heaven and earth, then this second lesson won't count …"
"Why won't it count? Being able to observe a Seventh Revolution Pill Refinement Master's breakthrough in pill refinement at such a close distance is a kind of opportunity in itself! "
Ning Fan looked up at the sky and laughed. Just like what he said, how many opportunities would there be in this world to observe a Seventh Revolution Pill Refinement Master's breakthrough in pill refinement?
Ordinary Seventh Revolution Pill Refinement Masters were worried that others would seize the soul power of heaven and earth. Thus, most of them would choose a secluded place to achieve a breakthrough and would not allow anyone to observe them.
The Sixth Revolution was like the heavens while the Seventh Revolution was like an immortal. Breaking through to the Seventh Revolution was much more difficult than the Sixth Revolution. It was not only difficult because of the change in the soul but also because most of them could not learn from the experience of others when breaking through to the Seventh Revolution. These pill refinement masters could only explore by themselves like a blind man walking in the dark.
The Pill Sovereign sighed inwardly. He closed his eyes and said no more.
In the Rain God Palace, each of the old monsters was shocked by Ning Fan's magnanimity.
No matter if this person was a Profound Cultivator or a devil cultivator, his persistence in not seizing soul power was something that few people could do.
In the world, there were a few Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Masters who could keep their hearts and not lose their Dao when faced with the opportunity of soul power given by a Seventh Revolution Pill Sovereign …
Even people like Chu Chang 'an began to feel admiration for Ning Fan.
Yun Qingge stared at the copper mirror with indifferent eyes and fell into deep thought.
She was Yu Chong 'er's master and the daughter of a certain Rain Sovereign. She had always thought of protecting the Rain God Palace.
Yu Chong 'er fell in love with a devil cultivator. She gave him the Heaven Deceiving Cloak and the blood of an Insect Sovereign. She even did not hesitate to steal the White Tiger Gauntlet … This made Yun Qingge very angry.
Yu Chong 'er did not tell Ning Fan that she did not ask for the White Tiger Gauntlet from her master. Instead, she stole it …
Yun Qingge already knew that the devil cultivator was Ning Fan. Thus, she naturally harbored some hostility towards him!
She stubbornly thought that Ning Fan had bewitched Yu Chong 'er with some despicable methods. That was why she would do those reckless things.
She stubbornly thought that Ning Fan had bewitched Yu Chong 'er with some despicable methods. That was why she would do those reckless things.
"Could it be that Chong 'er gave him these things willingly …?" Yun Qingge seemed to have understood something. His eyes gradually became complicated.
One day, two days, three days … Seven days passed. The Pill Sovereign had absorbed all the soul power of heaven and earth within the illusory realm. He patted his storage pouch and took out an unknown pill and consumed it.
That pill seemed to have the effect of tempering one's medicine soul. It gradually restrained the soul power that he had just absorbed.
At the moment when the soul power was completely absorbed, layers of bone-chilling cold wind suddenly emerged between heaven and earth!
Wherever the cold wind blew past, the cracked lava and earth flames on the ground were all strangely extinguished!
Wherever the chilly wind blew past, the mountains and rivers were directly reduced to dust and dissipated!
Wherever the cold wind blew past, even the ancient tree that protected the Pill Sovereign began to wither rapidly!
In just an instant, the Pill Sovereign's medicine soul was severely injured. Blood flowed out from his lips and teeth and his eyes were filled with shock!
"What a strong Yin Wind Tribulation!"
The Yin Wind Tribulation was a heavenly tribulation that only Void Fragmentation Realm cultivators would encounter.
The Pill Sovereign was a Third Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator. However, the Yin Wind Tribulation that befell him when he broke through to the Third Heavenly Layer was not as powerful as this one!
Facing such a powerful heavenly tribulation, even a Pill Sovereign who was well-prepared would not have more than fifty percent chance of breaking through!
As for the Pill Sovereign, he did not expect the Yin Wind Tribulation to be so powerful at all. He did not even have ten percent chance of breaking through!
The Yin Wind Tribulation that he encountered when he just broke through to the Low Grade Seventh Revolution Pill Refinement Realm was actually comparable to the heavenly tribulation of a Fourth Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator!
Everyone in the Rain God Palace was shocked. Even the Rain Sovereign felt his scalp going numb.
"Everyone says that the Seventh Revolution is like an immortal. At first, I didn't believe it. But now, it seems like it is true … Even I can't withstand such a powerful heavenly tribulation … This won't do. I must enter the illusory realm of the Profound Gate immediately and help the Pill Sovereign to overcome the tribulation!"
Even though the Rain Sovereign was also fearful of the Pill Sovereign, seeing that the latter was about to break through to the Seventh Revolution Pill Refinement Realm which would be of great use to him, he was naturally willing to please him.
However, after shaking his body, his eyes suddenly turned cold. He realized that the illusory realm of the entire Profound Gate was locked by the power of the Heavenly Dao. Even with his Fifth Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm cultivation base, he could not break it!
"This is bad! I can't enter the Profound Gate. The Pill Sovereign is in danger! "
For the first time in his life, the Rain Sovereign hated himself for not being able to help the Pill Sovereign.
In the past, even though he relied on the Pill Sovereign, he mostly suppressed him. After all, he was not willing to see the Pill Sovereign becoming stronger. If he saw the Pill Sovereign in danger in the past, he would certainly not be anxious.
However, now that the Pill Sovereign was about to break through to the Seventh Revolution Pill Refinement Realm, the Rain Sovereign weighed the pros and cons again and chose to help the Pill Sovereign.
Unfortunately, even he could not enter the illusory realm of the Profound Gate. There was no way he could help the Pill Sovereign at all.
If the Pill Sovereign breaks through to the Seventh Revolution Pill Refinement Realm, the Seventh Revolution Pill he concocts would be an important help for the Rain Sovereign to become an immortal …
The Rain Sovereign's face was filled with rage. He had been looking forward to the emergence of a Seventh Revolution Pill Refinement Master in the Rain World. However, the reality told him that the probability of this Seventh Revolution Pill Refinement Master dying in the face of the terrifying Yin Wind Tribulation was 90%!
"Nothing must happen to the Pill Sovereign!" He roared. Those who did not know the truth would think that he had a deep friendship with the Pill Sovereign. However, it turned out that he was just doing it for the sake of benefits.
Inside the illusory realm, Ning Fan stood in the middle of the layers of Yin Wind. His eyes were filled with deep astonishment.
The moment the Yin Wind Tribulation appeared, he could not leave the illusory realm. Neither the Yuan Yao World nor the Profound Yin World could enter it!
This Yin Wind Tribulation was so terrifying that even the Pill Sovereign only had a 10% chance of successfully overcoming it. Naturally, he could not resist it!
The layers of Mortal Void Realm grand formations that he had set up were turned into ashes by the Yin Wind Tribulation in just an instant.
The bone-chilling Yin Wind Tribulation then swept towards Ning Fan. He felt as if his body was about to turn into ashes. Immediately, his eyes flashed with surprise. Without any hesitation, he activated the Yin Yang Devil Flames and formed a black fire wall, sealing off the area ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) around the Pill Sovereign!
The fusion of ice and fire, the harmony of Yin and Yang, was the Yin Yang Flame.
This flame was the fusion of twenty-four types of Heavenly Frost and Earth Flames. Its grade was at the High Grade Seventh Grade. It contained a trace of Yin and Yang power which naturally had some resistance against the Yin Wind Tribulation.
For a while, the Yin Wind Tribulation was blocked outside the fire wall.
Ning Fan looked at the Pill Sovereign who was sitting cross-legged and gritted his teeth.
At this moment, the divine wood's medicine soul was slowly undergoing a soul transformation inside the Pill Sovereign's body. However, Ning Fan had no idea about the specific changes.
The sudden attack of the Yin Wind Tribulation just now severely injured the Pill Sovereign's medicine soul. For a while, he could not activate any magic power …
The Pill Sovereign coughed out a mouthful of blood with a pale face. As soon as the blood came out of his mouth, it immediately turned into ashes and disappeared …
He was severely injured by the Yin Wind Tribulation. Inwardly, he knew that his chances of breaking through to the Seventh Revolution today were slim. He did not even have the confidence to escape unscathed.
He felt a little regretful. If he knew that the Yin Wind Tribulation was so terrifying, he would certainly not have given Ning Fan the benefits of the soul power of heaven and earth.
If he knew that this tribulation would be so powerful, he would certainly choose a secluded place to pass the tribulation alone. Even if he fails to transcend the tribulation, he would only lose his life and it would not implicate anyone else …
He suddenly understood why so many Seventh Revolution Pill Masters were so cautious when they were breaking through to the Seventh Revolution. They would avoid being noticed by others and not let their close friends watch them.
Perhaps, some of them were unwilling to share the soul power of heaven and earth with others.
Perhaps, some of them were not confident that they could successfully transcend the tribulation and were reluctant to let their disciples and juniors take the risk …
The Pill Sovereign let out a long sigh and took out an ancient brown wooden token from his storage pouch.
It was unknown how many years of history that wooden token had. No one knew what kind of ability it had but it seemed to contain a trace of mysterious power.
The moment the wooden token was taken out, the entire illusory space began to tremble.
In the Rain God Palace, the Rain Sovereign stared at the token in the bronze mirror with mixed feelings.
"This is … the token of the World Tree! Rumor has it that there used to be a type of ancient tree in the Eastern Heaven Immortal World called the World Tree. The World Flower that blooms on it naturally carries a heavenly dwelling space. The World Barrier Fruit that grows from its flower naturally contains a small chiliocosm! A piece of bark from the World Tree can be made into a token. With this token, a cultivator can instantly escape from this small chiliocosm even if he or she is trapped in it! "
"This token can only be used once and it can only bring one person out at a time. It will be destroyed after being used!"
"With this token, the Pill Sovereign can escape from this heavenly dwelling. However, Ning Fan will still be in danger!"
The Rain Sovereign gritted his teeth. There was only one token. Even if the Pill Sovereign could escape, Ning Fan would still inevitably die under the Yin Wind Tribulation …
"Both of them are related to my great plan to become an immortal. Whoever dies will be a loss … What should I do?!" The Rain Sovereign slammed his fist on the dragon table.
A moment later, the Pill Sovereign did something that many cultivators in the Rain God Palace found unbelievable.
He gave the World Tree token to Ning Fan …
"Quickly activate this medallion and leave this world! I implicated you in this calamity, so I can't let you die here! "
Ning Fan's eyes widened. He did not take the token.
In the face of life and death, the Pill Sovereign chose to kill himself and let Ning Fan live. This made Ning Fan clench his fists tightly.
Ning Fan gritted his teeth. He still had to protect his loved ones and avenge his blood. He could not die here.
It was a wise decision. He should take the token and escape alone. If he escapes, the Pill Sovereign would still have a ten percent chance of successfully transcending the tribulation. He might not necessarily die …
However, no matter what, the current Ning Fan could not be a wise person.
He had never claimed to be a smart person. Smart people would know how to protect themselves. He did not know how to …
He only knew that he must repay the kindness of a meal and he must avenge the grudges of a small grudge!
He could kill millions of people without being moved but he would not watch the people he cared about die in front of him!
He did not run nor did he hide!
So what if it was the Yin Wind Tribulation? Was it enough to make him kneel down and be afraid of death?
Ning Fan placed his palm on his storage pouch and suddenly took out the two Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppets, Zhi Huo and Zhi Dian.
"Explode!"
The chilly wind covered the entire sky. No one could clearly see what Ning Fan had detonated. Only the Pill Sovereign who was standing close to him could see it clearly.
However, the moment the two puppets self-detonated, an unimaginable destructive force destroyed the Mysterious Gate!
The self-detonation of two First Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppets was enough to disperse the heavenly tribulation of a Fourth Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator!
At the moment when the Profound Barrier was destroyed, Ning Fan carried the severely injured Pill Sovereign on his back and picked up the countless fragments of the two spiritual puppets. Then, he took advantage of the chaotic power of the Heavenly Dao and escaped from the Profound Barrier!
Ning Fan did not care about the destruction of his puppets and the failure of his breakthrough!
The Pill Sovereign was carried on Ning Fan's back and they managed to escape from this place, leaving the Yin Wind Tribulation behind in the ruins of the Profound Pass.
The medicine soul in his body was slowly transforming. He only needed to go into seclusion to stabilize his medicine soul before he could officially break through to the Seventh Revolution.
He succeeded in breaking through to rank seven, but he did not feel joy, only guilt as tears streamed down his face.
He saw it clearly! In order to save his life, Ning Fan destroyed two of his Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppets!
He did not know why Ning Fan had two Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppets but he did not intend to ask either.
He only knew that no one would be willing to destroy two Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppets in order to save him. Only Ning Fan would be willing to destroy such precious spiritual puppets!
"Ning Fan, you destroyed two of your spiritual puppets in order to save me. I owe you my life!" The Pill Sovereign did not know what to say. Inwardly, he was determined that as long as he is alive, he would not allow anyone to lay a finger on Ning Fan.
"It's just two spiritual puppets. You don't have to worry about it. Compared to my life, these spiritual puppets are nothing. Besides, it's not like they can't be repaired …"
Ning Fan waved his hand, signaling the Pill Sovereign not to thank him.
However, he was smiling bitterly inwardly.
The two Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppets had self-detonated and turned into countless fragments. Can they really be repaired …?
Even though Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppets were precious, Ning Fan did not regret what he did.
The reason why he could roam the world unhindered in his entire life was just to have a clear conscience.
In the Rain God Palace, each of the old monsters was dumbfounded. They did not know what kind of method Ning Fan had used to actually destroy the Pill Sovereign's Yin Wind Tribulation …
Even the Rain Sovereign could not believe what had just happened. His eyes turned grim as he thought to himself, 'What a terrifying ability Ning Fan has. He can actually destroy such a powerful Yin Wind Tribulation. Isn't this young man hiding his abilities too deeply …?'
He began to feel fearful and guarded against Ning Fan again. However, the Rain Sovereign would certainly not investigate the method Ning Fan used to destroy the Yin Wind Tribulation.
In any case, it was indeed a joyous occasion that the Pill Sovereign and Ning Fan, who were of great value to him, were still alive.
Before the crowd could ask him about the details, Ning Fan was suddenly stunned.
The merit points on his palace lord token had increased by ten billion again. With a flash of silver light, a jade box that shone with soul light appeared in front of him. It seemed to be the reward for clearing the third stage.
"This is …" Ning Fan's eyes flashed. With this item, it seemed like he would not need to spend too much time to attain the High Grade Sixth Revolution Pill Refinement Realm.
...
In the Purple Mansion Academy of the Southern Heaven Immortal World.
A female immortal in purple robes was leisurely sitting in the Eight Trigrams Palace with her hands clasped behind her back.
The bronze floor beneath her feet was reverberating with the shadows of circles that looked like ripples on the surface.
Through those ripples, she seemed to be able to see the stars in the sky.
The female immortal stared at the ripples on the bronze floor as if she could see a tiny Void Refinement Realm young man who was countless star regions away.
After witnessing Ning Fan destroying the two puppets, the lazy expression on the female immortal's face suddenly revealed a hint of surprise.
"He is indeed an unexpected devil cultivator. He dares to snatch my Tribulation Summoning Puppet. He is a lawless devil lord. However, he destroyed his two puppets in order to save someone. This is really out of my expectation … Even though this young man is just a cultivator from the mortal world, he is still a rare talent … "
"However, this Void Pierce Stage heavenly tribulation still has to descend! Now, I am a little reluctant to let him die under the heavenly tribulation … Life and death, you shouldn't be angry at this young man. He isn't an unforgivable villain. Why do you have to target him like this? "
The female immortal in purple robes looked at the shadows of the rings beneath her feet lovingly.
The shadows of the rings suddenly trembled like ripples on water. An auspicious bird that was half black and half white flew out from the rings and landed on the female immortal's shoulder. Then, it chirped at the female immortal in bird language as if it was making a fuss.
"Ji ji ji —" Little Bird seemed to be angry.
"Little fool, why are you arguing with a junior of the Rain World? You are one of the Dao Spirits of the First Ring of the Heavenly Law. You can't be so willful. The Fu Li Sect has been annihilated, the Heavenly Dao is no more, if you act willfully, I will not be able to protect you anymore. "
"Chirp chirp chirp —" Silly bird seemed to be afraid.
"Continue to descend tribulation on this kid. You can make the tribulation more severe, but you must leave him a chance of survival … Alright, little dummy, you can go now. I still have to calculate the Heavenly Cycle Tribulations. I don't have time to listen to your complaints."
The woman lightly patted Silly Bird's head, causing Silly Bird to fly back into the ring shadow.
The hall returned to a deathly silence. Only the sound of the moving stars reverberated in the hall.
The female immortal seemed to have forgotten about Ning Fan very quickly. There were too many people that she needed to pay attention to. It was impossible for her to care about a single person.
There were only three words carved on the Eight Trigrams Palace.
Palm Calamity Palace! (To be continued.)
