Hearing that Ning Fan wanted to enter the second floor, the Rain Sovereign naturally did not have any objections.
He hoped that Ning Fan would enter the third floor after entering the second floor.
There was a divine beast on the sacrificial altar in the third level of the forbidden area. The Rain Sovereign had already made up his mind. This time, no matter what price he had to pay, he would ask the divine beast to come out and kill Ning Fan in the forbidden area.
"No one can stop me from becoming an immortal!"
A domineering look flashed in the Rain Emperor's eyes, and there was a hint of an aura of someone who would use any means necessary to achieve his goal.
Unfortunately, he did not know that after offending Ning Fan, what awaited him was definitely not the path to immortality, but the path to death.
The entrance to the second floor from the first floor was a bottomless hole filled with a sea of silver clouds.
The Rain Sovereign was the first to leap off the cloud. Ning Fan then rode on Nie Li and descended to the second floor.
As he descended, he used the Heaven Peering Rain Technique. Before he entered the second floor, the drizzle had already fallen on the second floor.
The second level of the forbidden land was not as vast as the first level. It only had a radius of five million li * (500m per li). This time, Ning Fan only used one type of Rain Technique and it was enough to cover the entire forbidden land with his spirit sense.
Needless to say, the Sky Peeking Rain Technique was a very convenient investigative technique. It was enough to allow a cultivator to extend their spiritual will to an undetectable area.
The Rain Emperor descended into the second level, and when he saw the drizzle that filled the sky, his expression darkened again.
"Is it the Sky Peeking Rain Technique again …"
This time, the jealousy only lasted for a moment and didn't linger for too long.
Ning Fan then descended to the second floor and dispelled the Heaven Peering Rain Technique. His face was filled with surprise.
The first layer of the forbidden land was filled with Corpse Beasts. There were Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and Three Thousand Poisonous Swamps.
The second layer of the forbidden area was picturesque, like a paradise.
Although the scenery was good, the Death Qi here was countless times more than that of the first layer of the forbidden area.
Amidst the beautiful mountains and rivers, there was a Bamboo City covered in green bamboo. It was not far from the entrance of the second level.
The reason why Ning Fan was surprised was because he saw this city.
He had seen this city before. He had seen it twice!
In the illusionary realm of the first test of Sky Dominator City, he and Ancestor Yu were drinking together in this city!
Before opening the divine aperture, he reunited with Ancestor Yu in this city!
This city had appeared twice in the illusionary realm. It was the place where he met Ancestor Yu!
Who would have thought that this city actually existed in this world!
However, the difference in the illusion realm was that there was no one in the city. There was not a single living being in the entire second layer!
It was empty and desolate, yet it emanated a heavy aura of death!
"Such a dense Death Qi …" Ning Fan narrowed his eyes as if he had sensed something.
"Hehe, this place is the place where the Rain Ancestor passed away, so the Death Qi is naturally extremely dense." The Rain Emperor laughed dryly, and explained.
"Dying in meditation?"
Ning Fan's eyes were filled with a sigh. Ancestor Yu was a dignified immortal emperor but he would also pass away in meditation.
The people of the world believed that they would not die if they obtained immortality, so they stepped onto the path of cultivation one after another.
However, reality was cruel. Even Immortal Emperors would have a day where their dao would vanish.
Even an Immortal Emperor …
"Who doesn't die in this world? Mortals die from old age while immortals die from samsara. Eternal life is just an illusion. "Ning Fan seemed to be talking to himself but at the same time, it seemed like he was talking to the Rain Sovereign.
The Rain Sovereign wore an apologetic smile on his face but his eyes revealed an imperceptible disdain. He scoffed at Ning Fan's sigh.
The Rain Sovereign did not believe that the Rain Ancestor passed away in meditation here. He had always believed that immortals were immortal. That was why he pursued eternal life at all costs and insisted on becoming an immortal.
The Rain Sovereign had also heard that immortals had major heavenly tribulations and minor heavenly tribulations. If they could not overcome the tribulations successfully, they might die under the tribulations.
However, from the Rain Sovereign's point of view, as long as they could withstand the heavenly tribulations, they would still not die in the end.
Eternal life really existed. It wasn't an illusion!
To achieve eternal life, he would pay any price!
He would kill Ning Fan who stopped him from achieving eternal life at all costs!
Ning Fan's gaze swept across the Rain Sovereign's eyes. When he saw a hint of disdain hidden in the Rain Sovereign's eyes, he shook his head indiscernibly.
The reason why he said that eternal life was an illusion was to remind the Rain Sovereign not to be blinded by desires.
Even though becoming an immortal was precious, it was more important to live in the present.
If one makes an irreversible mistake in order to become an immortal, it would certainly be too late for regrets.
In the Directorate of Heaven, the Rain Sovereign harbored evil intentions. He wanted to launch a sneak attack on Ning Fan and Ning Fan forgave him for the first time.
In the first level of the forbidden area, the Rain Sovereign wanted Ning Fan to die on the path of the formation door. Ning Fan forgave him for the second time.
In the second level of the forbidden area, the Rain Sovereign still had not given up on killing Ning Fan. He was still plotting something. Ning Fan's reminder was considered as him forgiving him for the third time.
By forgiving him for the third time, he had already repaid the Rain Ancestor's kindness.
If the Rain Sovereign still doesn't know what's good for him, Ning Fan would not show any mercy!
There was no trace of Ning Qian in the second level of the forbidden area. However, Ning Fan did not feel disappointed because he could sense Ning Qian's qi from the entrance of the third level.
Ning Qian was in the third level! That was Ning Fan's mother!
Ning Fan decided to enter the third level to save his mother.
If the Rain Sovereign has the intention to kill him in the third level, that place would be his burial ground.
"It's a good place … Let's go to the third level!"
Ning Fan glanced at the Jade Bamboo City with a hint of pity. Then, he rode on the Evil Li Sword and sped towards the third level.
This place was the place where the Rain Ancestor passed away in meditation. An immortal emperor had fallen here before. Thus, the amount of death qi there was extremely large.
If Ning Fan had enough time to absorb all the death qi here, his cultivation of the Corpse Devil Record would certainly advance by leaps and bounds. His corpse devil body would also certainly become stronger.
However, absorbing all the death qi in this place was not something that could be done in a short period of time.
At this moment, Ning Fan was wholeheartedly focused on finding his mother. Thus, he could only temporarily forget about absorbing the death qi.
As soon as he heard that Ning Fan was going to enter the third level, the Rain Sovereign was overjoyed.
If Ning Fan enters the third level, he would certainly make him die there!
"Hehe. Little Friend, take your time. There are a few corpse beasts that are causing trouble in the third level. I will go ahead first and pave the way for you to slay them!"
The Rain Sovereign smiled from the bottom of his heart. He took out a silver talisman and felt a slight pain in his heart. Then, he slapped the talisman on his chest.
All of a sudden, clusters of silver clouds rose beneath the Rain Sovereign's feet. They wrapped around him and carried him towards the entrance of the third level at a speed that was a few times faster than Evil Li Sword!
At this moment, the Rain Sovereign's speed was comparable to a rogue immortal!
This silver talisman was called the 'Battle Cloud Talisman'. It was an immortal-grade talisman that was passed down from the Upper World.
The Rain Sovereign only had two of these talismans. Each of them could only be used once. It was a supreme life-saving treasure.
Once the Battle Cloud Talisman is stuck on it, the Rain Sovereign's speed could be increased to the standard of a rogue immortal for two hours.
The Rain Sovereign had always regarded this talisman as a life-saving treasure. He was reluctant to give it to anyone. Even when he was in danger several times, he was reluctant to use it.
However, this time, he must use it!
He had to enter the third level before Ning Fan did and awaken the divine beast to come out of seclusion to kill him!
This was extremely important. His speed was far slower than Evil Li Sword. If he enters the third level later than Ning Fan, he would not have the time to awaken the divine beast and he would miss the best opportunity to kill Ning Fan.
Therefore, no matter how much pain he felt, the Rain Sovereign still used a Battle Cloud Talisman without hesitation.
From the Rain Sovereign's point of view, as long as he enters the third level of the forbidden area and awakens the divine beast, he would be able to kill Ning Fan easily.
After all, the divine beast in the sacrificial altar had a cultivation base at the Seventh Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm and it was just a step away from attaining the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm.
It was exactly because the divine beast had such powerful strength that it had the ability to plot against Hong Yi, the Thunder Sovereign who was at the Sixth Level of the Shattering Realm.
After using the Battle Cloud Talisman, the Rain Sovereign turned into a ray of silver light. In a flash, he was far ahead of Ning Fan.
Evil Li's purple eyes were stunned. It seemed like she did not expect the Rain Sovereign to be faster than her.
Then, she glanced at the talisman on the Rain Sovereign's chest and revealed a disdainful look. It let out a low cry, as if it was saying that traveling with the talisman was not a real skill.
Ning Fan's eyes widened. "That's … an Immortal Grade Escape Talisman! I didn't expect the Rain Sovereign to have such a powerful life-saving talisman despite his weak strength. If this talisman is used to save my life, even a rogue immortal might not be able to kill me … "
"The Rain Sovereign is so eager to enter the third level and even used such a precious immortal talisman. He must be plotting something big. His goal is to kill me in the third layer of the forbidden area, right? I'm very curious about what kind of trump card he has that makes him so confident that he can kill me in the third level. "
Ning Fan was already on his guard. He placed his palm on the Devil Sealing Pouch on his waist.
No matter what kind of ambush there was in the third layer, no matter how dangerous it was, he must enter the third layer and rescue his mother!
...
The Rain Sovereign took the lead and entered the third level of the forbidden area.
The third level of the forbidden area was smaller than the second level. It was only tens of thousands of li * (500m per li) wide.
Tens of thousands of miles of land was a boundless blood-colored desert.
On the desert, there would be a stone statue every few li * (500m per li). Some of them were big and some were small.
Some of these stone statues were in the shape of humans while some were in the shape of beasts.
There were a total of ninety million strange stone statues in this place. If one were to look down from the sky, he or she would notice that all of the stone statues had formed a circular formation.
Each of the stone statues was equivalent to a formation eye. They were connected by the formation marks of the stars.
The formation was not an ancient formation. The stone statues were also not ancient objects. Both of them were products that had existed for nearly one hundred thousand years.
At the center of the circular formation was a gigantic ancient sacrificial altar.
On top of the altar stood a gigantic lion statue which was tens of thousands of zhang * (3.33m per li) in size.
This lion statue looked very similar to a Cloud Lion. However, its appearance was different from an ordinary Cloud Lion. It had sixteen pairs of gigantic wings and sharp horns on its head.
The lion statue was clearly a dead object. However, its tightly shut eyes would occasionally move. It looked very strange.
In the Rain Palace, there were two methods of making Cloud Lion puppets.
The first type was the Cloud Lion Puppet. Although its cultivation was low, it could move.
The cultivation base of the second type of Cloud Lion could even reach the Void Fragmentation Realm. However, it needed to be connected to the terrain and could not move.
The lion statue on the altar was the third type of Cloud Lion.
Not only was its cultivation high, but it could also move!
The Rain Ancestor had obviously mastered the method of making the third type of Cloud Lion, but he had never passed it down to the descendants of the Rain Palace.
This was because the method to create the third type of Cloud Lion was extremely cruel. It required the Cloud Lion to devour countless Life Sacrifices to create the third type of Cloud Lion.
Back when Ancestor Rain had created the third cloudlion, he had taken hundreds of millions of cultivators and sacrificed their lives to make it a seventh level Demolisher.
If he wanted to raise the Cloud Lion's cultivation to a higher level, he would have to kill more people.
The living sacrifices that Ancestor Yu captured were all enemy cultivators, no matter how many he killed, his Dao Heart would not be harmed.
However, when it came time to slaughter again, even with Ancestor Rain's cold personality, he still hesitated.
To create a Life Immortal level Cloud Lion, one would need to slaughter hundreds of cultivation countries.
In order to create a Cloud Lion at the Perfected Immortal level, he would need to break through hundreds of cultivation planets.
If he wanted to create an Immortal Emperor Cloud Lion, he would have to kill countless of them. Perhaps it was impossible to create an Immortal Emperor Cloud Lion …
Therefore, Ancestor Rain hesitated and stopped the creation of the third type of Cloud Lion. He also didn't pass down the method of creating this type of Cloud Lion to the future generations.
Ancestor Rain was worried that if one of his descendants was blinded by greed, he might kill innocent living beings on a large scale in order to create this type of Cloud Lion …
Cloud Lions were only heretical, not righteous. If the descendants were so unfilial, Ancestor Rain, who passed down this method, would not be able to escape the blame.
In the end, Ancestor Rain didn't pass down the method of creating Cloud Lions.
However, the Cloud Lion that was casually created was preserved.
The Cloud Lion was called a divine beast by Rain Sovereign, but in reality, it was just a puppet.
Ordinary puppets wouldn't die as long as their durability wasn't exhausted.
However, this Cloud Lion was even more special than ordinary puppets. When it started to decay, it only needed to be poured with the blood of living beings to extend the puppet's durability.
This Cloud Lion originally didn't have any intelligence, but after a long time, it finally gained intelligence 100,000 years ago!
The Cloud Lion began to make deals with several generations of Rain Sovereigns.
It served the Rain Emperor and killed for the Rain Emperor, while the Rain Emperor needed to offer living beings for it to consume.
Although the Rain Emperors before Yun Zongxuan would occasionally borrow the power of Cloud Shi to fend off their enemies in times of danger, they would always try their best not to trade with Cloud Shi.
After all, every time they traded with the Cloud Lion, they would need to sacrifice a large number of living beings. This was not in line with the principle of the Rain Palace.
When it came to Yun Zongxuan's generation, he would do anything to achieve his goals, so he naturally used Cloud Lions in many ways.
Every time he needed to borrow the power of the Cloud Lion, Yun Zongxuan would secretly capture countless mortals and cultivators for the Cloud Lion to devour.
Over the years, the Cloud Lion continued to devour living creatures, and its cultivation level gradually increased. His cultivation base was already at the peak of the Seventh Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm. Now, he was only a step away from breaking through to the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm.
Because of that, Cloud Shi decided to go into secluded meditation for a hundred years and focus on breaking through to the Eighth Demolishing level.
When the Rain Sovereign requested to kill Ning Fan, Yun Shi rejected the Rain Sovereign's order for the first time.
"Humph, this generation's Rain Emperor is too weak! He's just an ant of the Fifth Shattering Realm. How dare he order me around? He really doesn't know his own limits. "
"When I break through to the Eighth Shattering Realm, I will break through this forbidden area and massacre the Rain Palace. I wonder to what extent my cultivation level would increase after that. Perhaps I can break through to the Life Immortal Realm in one go! "
"A hundred years … I just need to wait for another hundred years!"
Just as Cloud Shi was thinking about that, the Rain Sovereign suddenly passed through the entrance of the third floor and entered the forbidden area, landing in front of the sacrificial altar.
"Yun Zongxuan, why are you here again?! Don't you know that I'm in secluded meditation?! "Cloud Shi said with displeasure.
"Lord Divine Beast, please calm down. I have an old enemy that I must kill. I need Lord Divine Beast's power! That person is now in the forbidden area and he is rushing towards the third floor! If Lord Divine Beast helps me kill my enemy, I will certainly offer enough living sacrifices for Lord Divine Beast to enjoy! "The Rain Sovereign's tone sounded humble.
In front of a puppet whose cultivation level was close to the Eighth Shattering Realm, even if he was the Rain Sovereign, he did not dare to show any arrogance.
Hearing that the Rain Sovereign was here to ask him to kill someone, Cloud Shi's stone eyes were immediately filled with anger.
One should know that he had been in secluded meditation for a few years. If he came out this time to kill someone, all his efforts would be in vain.
"My secluded meditation is very important and I can't afford to make any mistakes! I won't help you kill anyone within a hundred years! "Cloud Shi refused coldly.
"Five million living sacrifices!" Rain Sovereign clenched his teeth and stated his condition.
Cloud Shi's eyes showed a hint of greed when he heard that. He was tempted.
But then he shook his head and said discontentedly, "Not enough! This time, I want a hundred million living sacrifices and all the living sacrifices must be cultivators, not mortals! "
Cloud Shi was a lion after all. It was normal for him to ask for too much.
Rain Sovereign's face darkened and he was inwardly furious.
There were only eight hundred cultivation countries in the Rain World. In order to gather a hundred million living sacrifices, each country would need to capture at least a million cultivators as living sacrifices.
Previously, when he asked Cloud Shi to kill Thunder Sovereign, he only paid a price of two million living sacrifices and most of the living sacrifices were mortals.
Cultivators naturally wouldn't care about the lives and deaths of mortals.
At that time, Rain Sovereign sent people to capture hundreds of thousands of low-level cultivators from dozens of cultivation countries. It had already caused a lot of panic in the Rain World.
Many people found out that it was Rain Sovereign's doing, but they didn't dare to say anything due to the power of Rain Palace.
But this time, if Rain Sovereign captured a hundred million cultivators for Cloud Shi to devour, the overall strength of Rain World would be weakened by at least half. Moreover, this matter would definitely not be hidden from the public …
"A hundred million is too much …"
Rain Sovereign was about to bargain but Cloud Shi sneered. "Get lost if you don't want to give it to me!"
His tone was full of humiliation.
Rain Sovereign's face turned pale. He almost wanted to fight Cloud Shi with his life after being humiliated, but he knew that he was no match for Cloud Shi.
Rain Sovereign held back the urge to flick his sleeves and leave as soon as he thought of the divination.
He clenched his teeth and said, "As long as you help me kill this person, I will give you a hundred million living sacrifices!"
Rain Sovereign was willing to pay any price to become an immortal!
Even if he had to sacrifice the entire Rain World, he wouldn't hesitate!
"Oh? You actually agreed? In that case, it's not impossible for me to help you once again. Hmm? What is the cultivation base of the person you want to kill? "
Cloud Shi raised his stone head and looked at the sky.
In that direction, there was the entrance to the third level of the forbidden area. From the direction of the entrance, Cloud Shi sensed that two powerful auras were approaching.
One of them was the Origin Returning Great Void Stage while the other was the Five Soul Breaking Realm.
One of the two auras should be the person Rain Sovereign wanted to kill.
In Cloud Shi's eyes, be it Five Soul Breaking Realm or Ning Fan, both of them were nothing to be afraid of. They were just ants.
Among the cultivators he helped the current Rain Sovereign to kill, the strongest one was the lightning sovereign. His cultivation base was only at the Six Soul Breaking Realm but he was strong enough to fight against a Seven Soul Breaking Realm cultivator.
At that time, Cloud Shi used a small technique to lure the lightning sovereign's spiritual pet, the demonic ape. After sneak attacking the lightning sovereign, he killed him …
Other than that battle which was considered a bitter one, Cloud Shi had never encountered a bitter battle.
Today, he wouldn't have a bitter battle either!
"Kill Origin Returning Great Void Stage and keep Five Soul Breaking Realm. I will use the secret technique of Lord Divine Beast to subdue him and give him to me as my demon pet!"
Rain Sovereign's intention was to let Cloud Shi kill Ning Fan and capture Five Soul Breaking Realm to give him as his demon pet.
If he had Five Soul Breaking Realm as his demon pet, Rain Sovereign would be one step closer to becoming an immortal.
"Alright! If I attack him with my true body, I can kill him in a blink of an eye! Roar! "
Cloud Shi let out a loud roar. Layers of silvery-white clouds immediately spread out and swept across the sky like waves of water.
In that direction, Ning Fan stepped on Five Soul Breaking Realm and coincidentally entered the forbidden area of the third floor!
Before entering the forbidden area, Ning Fan had already spread out his spirit sense. Not only did he find his mother in the third floor, but he also heard the negotiation between the Rain Sovereign and Cloud Shi.
At this moment, when he saw the ocean-like silver clouds rushing towards him, his eyes flashed with killing intent.
If the rain doesn't betray me, I won't betray the rain. He had given the Rain Sovereign too many chances. However, the Rain Sovereign still made such a foolish decision and insisted on taking his life.
In that case, he no longer needed to show mercy to the Rain Sovereign!
"Attack! There's no need to show mercy!"
Ning Fan suddenly opened the Devil Sealing Pouch. A stream of black mist immediately swept out from it.
A black light flashed across the sky and countless clouds immediately began to crumble!
"How is this possible?! This is the full-powered attack of my true body. How can it be shattered by an ant of Origin Returning Realm?! Wait. This is …! "
Cloud Shi's gaze fell upon a gigantic black shadow in the sky. Immediately, his face was filled with fear.
As for the Rain Sovereign who was waiting to see Ning Fan die, his face was also filled with fear.
"Loose … Loose Devil! How is this possible?! How is this possible?! "
All of his schemes and plots were incomparable to absolute strength.
All of the Rain Sovereign's schemes seemed so ridiculous in front of a Loose Devil.
"This young man is just an ant of Origin Returning Realm. How can he have a Loose Devil as his helper?!"
"Could it be the Black Devil Sect …? No! Impossible! Sect Master Han of the Black Devil Sect can't even protect himself. How can he have a Loose Devil to protect his disciple?! "
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Where did this young man get a Loose Devil Realm helper from?! Is this Loose Devil Old Monster a cultivator of the Devil World or a cultivator from the Upper World?!!! "
