The Snow Orchid Painting, also known as the Thousand Mountain Orchid Snow Painting, was the treasure left behind by the first sect master of the Lan Ling Sect, Qian Shanzi.
This treasure's grade wasn't high, but it had a powerful background. It was a replica painting that imitated one of the famous four ancient paintings, the Primordial Fisherman's Cowhide Painting!
This replica contained the will of life and death. As soon as this diagram appeared, the sect masters of the Lan Ling Sect were able to defeat Void Fragmentation Realm cultivators who were at the same level as them.
Once King Lan Ling took out this diagram, even an ordinary Second Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm old monster would be severely injured!
The Rain Sovereign, the Pill Sovereign and the other Void Fragmentation Realm experts of the Rain World were shocked.
At the same time, the Rain Sovereign, Pill Sovereign, Chu Chang 'an, Yun Qingge, Yun Daoku and the other Void Fragmentation Realm experts of the Rain Palace soared into the sky one after another. They circulated their magic power in an attempt to create a barrier above the jade platform to block the snow from falling and injure the people.
"Lock!"
Layers upon layers of green light barriers opened up in the air above the jade platform, blocking the wind and snow dangerously.
In the sea of clouds above the barrier, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and a biting cold suddenly spread across the entire Heavenly Cloud Nation.
In an instant, the world was plunged into darkness, turning into night.
The northern wind howled, and countless cultivators of the Heavenly Cloud Nation felt a bone-chilling cold at the same time.
That kind of coldness seemed to be able to reach the depths of these people's souls, as if it could kill tens of millions of Heavenly Cloud Nation cultivators in an instant!
With their cultivation, they did not understand why they would have such a feeling.
One by one, the low-level cultivators walked out of their houses, raised their heads, and sucked in a breath of cold air.
In the night sky, the white snow and the dark night intertwined, forming a mysterious and unfathomable power that tore huge silver cracks in the sky.
The paths of the cracks formed mysterious trajectories.
Silver-white cracks intertwined with each other like countless intertwining silver snakes.
Terrifying snow-white Dao lines poured out from the cracks, and they were imbued with the might of the Great Dao, pressuring all the low-grade cultivators to the point of suffocation.
The snow-white Dao Line was surprisingly the Dao Line of Life, and it contained boundless Dao Energy.
At this moment, all the cultivators felt a great sense of danger from the crack.
"This is … Dao Orbit! I've seen it in Si Cang's memories! "
Ming Que's small face was filled with astonishment. Initially, she had endless confidence in Ning Fan and was certain that he would defeat King Lan Ling. However, after seeing such a strange phenomenon, she began to worry about Ning Fan's safety.
The Dao path was the path of a crack that a second-step Immortal tore out of the Great Dao. Immortals pursued the truth of the Dao and cultivated diligently every day just to comprehend the 3,000 Great Daos.
The Great Dao was formless, but there were mighty cultivators who could trace the path of the Great Dao and tear it apart, borrowing its power to attack their enemies.
Immortals who could tear open the Dao Track were all extremely powerful beings.
Magic treasures that could tear apart Dao paths were all treasures with boundless power.
Although the Snow Orchid Painting was only a replica, it was still able to tear apart the Dao Path, so its power was definitely not to be underestimated.
"This treasure can actually tear open Dao paths!!!"
Mei Chen's beautiful face paled. She didn't think that this Snow Orchid Painting, which wasn't of a high grade, would be able to tear apart the Dao Path. Once this treasure appeared, even Mei Chen wasn't confident that she would be able to withstand it unscathed.
Even she was afraid of the destructive power of this diagram. Since Ning Fan had yet to attain the Void Fragmentation Realm, how would he be able to withstand the attack of this diagram?
Layers of Yellow Spring Qi gradually gathered in Mei Chen's demon eyes. She made up her mind that if Ning Fan is in trouble, she would come to his rescue at any time!
The cloaked lady's black eyes also carried a hint of worry as she murmured to herself.
"This treasure is indeed powerful. However, as the successor of Ancient Chaos, you should be able to withstand the attack of this treasure, right …? Can you do it …? Do you have the qualifications to make me pester you for the rest of my life …?"
Yun Zhongyan looked at the silvery-white Dao path that was torn apart above the sea of clouds. His body stiffened and his eyes widened in shock.
"Dao path! It's the Dao path! This Snow Orchid Painting can actually tear apart the Dao path. This treasure is just too terrifying! "
"With this treasure, Lan Ling will definitely be invincible among cultivators at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm. He can even put up a fight against cultivators at the Second Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm!"
Yun Jinghong raised his head and looked at King Lan Ling. His eyes were filled with extreme fear and astonishment.
Gradually, the fear and astonishment in his eyes disappeared and were replaced by undisguised joy.
"With this treasure, Ning Fan won't be able to escape death!"
Yun Jinghong's hostility towards Ning Fan had existed for a long time. If King Lan Ling manages to kill Ning Fan, he would naturally celebrate.
Ning Fan stood amidst the heavy snow. His figure moved erratically, dodging the snowflakes.
Even with his cultivation base, he actually sensed a great sense of danger from the snowflakes. Thus, he naturally would not let the snowflakes get close to him.
Each of the snowflakes seemed as light as a goose feather but in reality, they were extremely heavy.
King Lan Ling's undisguised killing intent filled the sky of the snowflakes.
The scariest thing was that the cold Dao power that leaked out from the silvery-white Dao path rushed towards Ning Fan's face, causing his body to gradually stiffen. Countless ice threads and ice shards were frozen in his blood.
There were also countless Dao Threads of Life flying towards him, forcing him to dodge to the left and right.
"A magic treasure that can tear apart the Dao path, huh …? I didn't expect King Lan Ling to have such a magic treasure. I can't underestimate this person anymore."
"Since he took out this treasure and displayed its power, it naturally means that he has the intention to kill me. Since that's the case, I don't need to show any mercy! "
Ning Fan halted his footsteps. The wind and snow immediately blew at his face along with countless Dao Threads of Life that pierced his face.
Each of the Dao Threads of Life was even sharper than an Immortal Void Flying Sword. They could easily penetrate all of Ning Fan's defenses and turn him into a hedgehog.
The attack of these countless Dao Lines of Life and Death was enough to severely injure an old monster at the Second Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm.
Ning Fan did not say much. He took a step forward and transformed into his black robes. His aura force rose sharply and it was almost comparable to that of a Second Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm old monster. However, his aura force became more and more condensed, not allowing others to notice it.
He patted his sword pouch, and a golden light immediately darted into his hand, turning into a long and thin golden sword.
Emperor Xia's Sword!
With the sword in his hand, Ning Fan's aura force suddenly changed. The sovereign qi around his body was like a dragon and there were even traces of golden sword intent flying around him.
"As expected, it is imperial qi, humph!" The Rain Emperor's expression was livid.
Before the countless Dao of Life lines could reach three zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away from Ning Fan's body, they were all minced into pieces by the golden sword intent that was protecting him.
Just as the snowflakes approached Ning Fan, they were immediately cut into half by the golden sword intent.
"Marquis White Robe has such a powerful sword intent! He can protect himself with just his sword intent. The strength of this sword intent is definitely not any weaker than the sword intent of the White Robed Sword God! "
Each of the old monsters of the Rain World was initially stunned by King Lan Ling's Snow Orchid Painting. However, after Ning Fan took out Emperor Xia's Sword, their attention shifted back to Ning Fan.
"Deliberately mystifying things! Snow Orchid, open! "
At first, King Lan Ling thought that he could kill Ning Fan in a single strike after taking out the Snow Orchid Painting.
Now, when he saw Ning Fan block the attack of the Snow Orchid Painting with just his sword intent, his eyes immediately turned grim and he violently shook the painting.
The Snow Orchid Painting flashed and a gigantic orchid suddenly floated out.
The orchid was as bright as blood. However, as soon as it came into contact with the air, it immediately withered and turned black.
Inside the black orchid, there was an extremely dense death qi.
As soon as the orchid appeared, the sky suddenly began to crack, revealing pitch-black Dao Paths that crisscrossed with each other. Countless black lines shot out from the cracks.
At a certain moment, the black orchid suddenly began to spin violently. As it spun faster and faster, millions of black Dao Paths were immediately drawn out. All of them were Dao Paths of Death.
"Die!"
At this moment, King Lan Ling no longer concealed his killing intent towards Ning Fan.
He shook the Snow Orchid Painting again. The wind and snow became even stronger. Within the silvery-white Dao Paths, millions of Dao Paths of Life shot out again.
The white lines interweaved to form a gigantic fishing net that fell on Ning Fan's head. There was no way for him to escape.
The black lines turned into countless fishing lines that had hooks attached to them. Everything that was hooked by the hooks would lose their life force.
"The Fishing Net of Fortune and the Immemorial Fishing Line, huh …?"
Ning Fan looked at the fishing nets and fishing lines that filled the sky. He raised the golden sword in his hand and pointed at the nets and fishing lines that filled the sky.
It was just a simple sword light. However, in the blink of an eye, it emitted an endless amount of golden sword light, cutting all the fishing nets and fishing lines into pieces.
It was as if this sword was powerful enough to pierce through heaven and earth. It was as if this sword was powerful enough to destroy all the gods and devils in this world!
The Snow Orchid Painting was indeed powerful. Even though it could tear apart the Dao Paths, it was just an imitation magic treasure after all.
Compared to Emperor Xia's Sword, it was still much weaker.
This was because Emperor Xia's Sword was not just a powerful magic treasure. The sword intent that it contained was even more terrifying.
"How is this possible?!"
King Lan Ling was astounded. He had already activated the Snow Orchid Painting to its maximum power but it was broken by Ning Fan with a single sword strike.
Initially, he thought that after his true body broke through to the Void Fragmentation Realm, he would be able to crush Ning Fan with ease. However, he did not expect that Ning Fan's strength was higher than his.
Initially, he thought that he could easily kill Ning Fans with the Snow Orchid Painting. Unexpectedly, the golden sword in Ning Fans hand was even more powerful than the Snow Orchid Painting.
At this moment, Ning Fan unleashed his full combat power. Holding Emperor Xia's Sword in his hand, the pressure he gave King Lan Ling was much heavier than the three old monsters of the Sha Clan.
King Lan Ling's back was already soaked with cold sweat. If he had known that Ning Fan had such strength and even possessed such a powerful magic treasure, he would definitely not have fought him to the death with full confidence.
Luckily, the Rain Sovereign had already given the order that no one would die in this battle. King Lan Ling knew that he was no match for Ning Fan but he did not think that Ning Fan would dare to disobey the Rain Sovereign's order and kill him.
"Initially, I thought that the Rain Sovereign was siding with Ning Fan by stopping this battle. From the looks of it now, the Rain Emperor wants to protect me. "
King Lan Ling retreated step by step. On one hand, he avoided the golden sword light that filled the sky while on the other hand, he used the Snow Orchid Painting to protect himself. He no longer had any intention to fight.
On the other hand, Ning Fan was approaching him step by step. He held a three chi long golden sword in his hand. His body shone with dazzling golden light, making him look like a heavenly deity that no one dared to look at directly.
Every step he took was accumulating his sword force.
Every step he took seemed to be stepping on King Lan Ling's Dao Heart, making him shudder.
Only then did King Lan Ling realize that Ning Fan did not have the intention to stop at all. When he had the intention to kill Ning Fan, Ning Fan also had the intention to kill him!
"Not good. This man wants to kill me! Rain Sovereign, save me! "
King Lan Ling wanted to call for help but it was already too late. Before he could say anything, Ning Fan had already waved his sword light.
After taking nine steps, Ning Fan's sword force reached its peak!
At this moment, Ning Fan's ears were filled with silence. He could clearly hear his own heartbeat.
Golden sword intent flashed across his eyes.
In his heart, a cold and proud voice of a woman echoed over and over again.
If I break my sword, there will be no martial arts under the heavens …
* Chi *
Ning Fan suddenly raised his sword and made a second horizontal slash!
As soon as the sword slashed out, golden light flashed. The sword light had already traveled across a vast distance and arrived in front of King Lan Ling.
The sword light was too fast. It was so fast that even the Rain Sovereign could not save King Lan Ling in time.
"Have mercy!" The Rain Sovereign suddenly stood up and cried out involuntarily.
However, his words were still too slow. Before he could open his mouth, King Lan Ling was already cut into two by the golden sword light!
His primordial spirit was directly slashed in his dantian. He did not even have the chance to escape!
After this horizontal slash of golden sword light killed King Lan Ling, it continued to slash into the distance.
Pieces of the vast sky were slashed by the golden sword light, collapsing towards the distance.
In just an instant, the vast sky of millions of li * (500m per li) was completely shattered by Ning Fan's sword!
"No … Can … Can …" King Lan Ling's eyes widened. He could not believe the fact that he was killed by Ning Fan even at the moment of his death.
His storage pouch was taken away by Ning Fan with a raise of his hand.
His mutilated corpse fell from the sky, passing through the barrier and landing on the jade platform. With a loud bang, his flesh and blood splattered all over the ground.
An earth-shattering baleful qi spread out from King Lan Ling's corpse. None of the cultivators below the Void Fragmentation Realm could maintain their sanity under such baleful qi!
This was the baleful qi that was formed after a Void Fragmentation Realm expert died. How could ordinary cultivators withstand it?!
"He's dead … Ning Fan has actually killed King Lan Ling!"
Yun Jinghong's back was drenched in cold sweat while Yun Zhongyan had already turned into a stone statue.
Both of their strengths were far weaker than King Lan Ling. If even King Lan Ling was not Ning Fan's opponent, they were even less of a match for him!
This time, it was the two of them who urged King Lan Ling to challenge Ning Fan. Now that King Lan Ling was already dead, they were afraid that Ning Fan would pursue this matter.
In the past, they regarded Ning Fan as an ant. Now, however, they saw him as a ferocious tiger.
Each of the old monsters of the Rain World stared at Ning Fan in horror. To them, Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters were supreme existences.
However, such a supreme Void Fragmentation Realm old monster was killed by Ning Fan with a single sword strike right in front of their eyes.
This kind of shock was enough to haunt them for the rest of their lives.
"Ning Fan, how dare you! This Empress has already said that life and death cannot be determined in this battle. Why did you disobey this Empress's orders and kill Lan Ling!? "
All of a sudden, the Rain Sovereign rose to his feet and glared at Ning Fan coldly.
Ning Fan kept the Snow Orchid Painting and descended from the jade platform. He did not say a word to defend himself. His eyes were filled with killing intent and he gave the Rain Sovereign an equally cold glare.
Just a single look from him contained the Void Fragmentation Realm baleful qi of countless Void Fragmentation Realm beings who died in his hands.
From Bone Sovereign, Vine Sovereign, Wan Changkong, Moksha Sovereign, Sect Master of the Three Realms.
The Void Fragmentation Realm experts who died in the Tree World and the countless Void Fragmentation Realm experts who died on the World Path …
Among these people, some were killed by Nie Li, some were killed by the rogue devils and some were killed by Ning Fan himself.
No matter who it is that kills him, Ning Fan would more or less be tainted with an extremely heavy baleful qi.
This was the sin of killing, karma, a sin that could not be avoided.
This gaze contained a monstrous sea of blood. It was something that the Rain Sovereign, who guarded the Rain World, could never imagine.
When he met Ning Fan's eyes, the Rain Sovereign suddenly broke out in cold sweat. His breathing became chaotic. He took a few steps back before he managed to calm his breathing.
Terrifying. The baleful qi in Ning Fan's eyes was too terrifying!
The death of King Lan Ling was out of the Rain Sovereign's expectation. It made him act impulsively and say something presumptuous to Ning Fan.
After being glanced at by Ning Fan, the Rain Sovereign recalled how dangerous Ning Fan was and immediately shut his mouth.
Ning Fan possessed the ability to break the five evils. He even dared to kill the Vine Sovereign … As the dignified Rain Sovereign, he could not afford to offend the current Ning Fan!
"Lan Ling tried to kill me. Therefore, I killed him!" What he said sounded like an explanation but also a warning.
Ning Fan's eyes swept across the entire place coldly. His baleful qi spread out without reservation, dispersing the darkness and dyeing the sea of clouds in the color of blood.
The reason why he killed Lan Ling was not only to get rid of him but also to give the Rain Sovereign a warning.
Each of the arrogant old monsters of the Rain World felt a sharp pain in their Sea of Consciousness when they met Ning Fan's gaze. Their qi became chaotic and they retracted their gazes and lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
The Rain Sovereign gradually calmed down. He could hear the warning in Ning Fan's words.
If he becomes Ning Fan's enemy, he would end up like King Lan Ling.
If they become friends, Ning Fan would not attack the Rain Palace.
The Rain Sovereign's face darkened. He knew that he had to carefully consider his attitude towards Ning Fan in the future.
Either he would dispel the hostility between them or he would eliminate this person completely!
* Chi *
Ning Fan suddenly raised Emperor Xia's sword and pointed the sword light at a massive cloud mountain ten thousand li * away.
With a flick of his wrist, the sword gleam carved eight large words on the distant mountain of clouds.
The rain doesn't betray me and I won't betray the rain!
The others were puzzled by Ning Fan's action but the Rain Sovereign was inwardly shocked.
He knew that these eight words were Ning Fan's warning and also Ning Fan's bottom line.
If he insists on becoming Ning Fan's enemy, Ning Fan would annihilate the Rain Palace …
"In the first test of the Ruling Sky City, I have obtained some benefits from the Rain Ancestor and I owe the Rain Palace a favor. I can forget about the old grudge that you have against me in the past. But remember, there will be no next time! "
Ning Fan transmitted his voice to the Rain Sovereign. (To be continued.)
