The Rain Sovereign would never have thought that this gigantic rogue devil that appeared out of nowhere was neither a cultivator of the Devil World nor a cultivator of the Upper World. It was just Ning Fan's puppet.
Even if Ning Fan personally told him that the rogue devil was his biological puppet, he would never believe it.
To be able to take in a rogue devil as a slave, one had to be either a mighty immortal or a Daoist disciple of a peerless force in the Upper Realm.
The Rain Sovereign would never believe that a mere Origin Returning Realm ant like Ning Fan could subdue a rogue devil like him.
The scattered devil shattered the Cloud Lion's attack with a single strike. With a loud boom, it leaped down from the sky and landed on the barren land.
His powerful aura pressured the Rain Emperor to the point of suffocation.
Even Cloudlion, who was a Seventh Demolisher, was shocked by the power of the Rogue Devil.
Both the Rain Sovereign and Yun Shi could tell that the rogue devil in front of them seemed to have suffered some kind of severe injury. His cultivation base had already fallen to the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm.
Even so, the man and the snake did not feel relaxed at all. They only felt endless pressure.
Ning Fan stood on top of the Sin Li Beast and glanced at the Cloud Lion below him. Then, he said with a solemn tone.
"A Cloud Lion puppet at the Seventh Fragmentation Realm? And this Cloud Lion seems to be different from the other two Cloud Lions of the Rain Palace. Is this Yun Zongxuan's trump card …? "
In order to deal with a formidable enemy like the Cloud Lion, Ning Fan had no choice but to use the Rogue Devils to assist him.
Since the puppet strings of the Mourning Ancestor were damaged, Ning Fan could only forcefully control the rogue devil to attack three times. Today was the second time the rogue devil attacked.
The Loose Devil marched towards the altar with huge steps, crushing many stone statues along the way.
However, when he reached one of the ninety million stone statues, the scattered devil suddenly stopped in his tracks. He knelt on the ground and picked up the stone statue.
It was a statue of a winged demon. It was as tall as a grown man, and judging from its appearance, it was a winged demon of the Oriole Tribe.
The loose devil respectfully held the stone statue and stood up. A black mist flashed in his palm, and the stone statue suddenly disappeared. At the next moment, black mist flashed in front of Ning Fan. The stone statue landed on the top of Nie Li's head, right in front of Ning Fan.
Ning Fan quietly looked at the stone statue of the winged demon. His eyes which were originally cold gradually became gentle and then extremely nervous.
He reached out his hand and caressed the cold stone statue. Then, he unleashed his medicine soul and sent it into the stone statue.
When Ning Fan sensed that there was still a trace of warmth in the winged demon's heart, he felt relieved.
"Fortunately, his soul hasn't dissipated … Fortunately, there's still hope for him to be saved …"
Ning Fan smiled in relief. He stroked the Yuan Yao Jade between his fingers and kept the stone statue of the winged demon into the Yuan Yao World, placing it together with Mu Weiliang's green coffin.
The winged demon that had turned into a statue was his mother. Her name was Ning Qian, an Oriole winged demon.
"Strange! Why would a dignified loose devil kneel down to a blood array stone statue? Why did he take away the stone statue so carefully? "The Cloud Lion was puzzled.
"Ning Fan once said that he entered the forbidden area to look for someone. Could it be that the person he's looking for is just this stone statue …?" The Rain Sovereign guessed.
The reason why the rogue devil would purposely take away Ning Qian's stone statue was naturally because Ning Fan had manipulated it.
He wanted to eliminate the Rain Sovereign in the third level of the forbidden area. Once the battle begins, the aftermath of the battle would spread far and wide. Thus, he naturally needed to save his mother first.
Only then would he be able to unleash his full power to kill the Rain Emperor.
As for the Cloud Lion, he also had to kill him!
The Cloud Lion's cultivation base was too high and Ning Fan's lifespan was too short. Thus, he was unable to tame it. The Cloud Lion already had intelligence, and it was not a benevolent creature. If it was allowed to live, it would be like raising a tiger. Naturally, it had to be exterminated as soon as possible.
"You make a move, kill the Cloud Lion first, then kill the Rain Emperor."
Ning Fan moved the faintly discernible puppet strings between his fingers and gave the rogue devil an order.
He had the Loose Demon deal with the enemy alone, while he himself guarded the entrance to the third level. He did not want to give the Rain Emperor any chance to escape.
The power of the Scattered Demon alone was enough to kill the Rain Emperor and the Cloud Lion.
The Rain Emperor used the Battle Cloud Seal, and within two hours, his speed was comparable to that of a Loose Immortal.
The power of that immortal talisman could still last for a very long time. If the Rain Sovereign finds a random direction to flee in, Ning Fan would never be able to catch up to him.
But unfortunately, this was the forbidden area of the third layer. There was no way to escape, and there was a sealing array light in all directions. As for the Rain Sovereign, he was not Ning Fan. Without the Wind Mist Technique, he could not break the grand formation of this place and escape.
If the Rain Emperor wanted to escape, he could only escape from the entrance back to the second layer of the Forbidden Land, and continue to flee outwards.
Therefore, Ning Fan only needed to guard the entrance of the forbidden land.
If the Rain Sovereign does not escape, the Scattered Demon would naturally kill him.
If the Rain Sovereign tries to escape, Ning Fan would ask Nie Li to kill him!
"Kill!"
Upon hearing the order, the Scattered Demon immediately let out a shrill roar. His body swayed and turned into layers of devil mist. With a single move, he traveled a great distance and directly appeared in front of the sacrificial altar.
He glanced at the Cloud Lion and the Rain Sovereign with his eyes filled with disdain. Then, he raised both of his fists and punched at them.
His left fist attacked the Cloud Lion while his right fist attacked the Rain Sovereign.
As soon as the Scattered Demon's fist light appeared, devil qi instantly filled heaven and earth. It even formed countless balls of black devil flames between heaven and earth.
Seeing the Scattered Demon's fist light coming at him, the Rain Sovereign was so shocked that he could not utter a word. With the help of the talisman power of the Battle Cloud Seal, he rode a cloud and instantly fled a great distance away. He stood in the sky and barely avoided the fist light that was coming at him.
The fist light missed its target and landed on the barren land. With just a single strike, the barren land of tens of thousands of li * (500m per li) was immediately split into pieces.
The Rain Sovereign managed to avoid the Scattered Demon's fist light but the Cloud Lion was not as lucky.
All of the Scattered Demon's killing intent was locked on the Cloud Lion. He followed Ning Fan's order and prepared to kill the Cloud Lion first.
The Scattered Demon only used ten percent of his devil qi to attack the Rain Sovereign.
As for the fist light that was used to attack the Cloud Lion, he used twelve percent of his devil qi.
The fist light that was thrown at the Cloud Lion must kill the Cloud Lion.
The Cloud Lion's stone eyes widened in shock. He opened his mouth and spat out millions of silver lightning bolts at the Scattered Demon's fist light.
The power of the silver lightning bolts that filled the sky was not to be underestimated. They were lightning that was transformed from rain. It was a type of powerful magic technique that could instantly kill five cultivators.
However, when the lightning bolts collided with the fist light, they immediately shattered into countless lightning sparks and gradually disappeared.
The momentum of the fist light did not diminish at all. It directly landed on the Cloud Lion's head.
With just a single punch, the sharp horn on the top of the Cloud Lion's head was broken. Meanwhile, the Cloud Lion's massive stone body was crushed by the Scattered Demon.
"Lord Divine Beast actually can't even withstand a single punch from the Scattered Demon?!" The Rain Sovereign's eyes were filled with fear.
He just thought that the Cloud Lion had already been killed by the Scattered Demon's punch. However, the Scattered Demon knew that his punch did not kill the Cloud Lion.
"Get out here!"
The Scattered Demon roared. This roar caused a monstrous demonic fog to surge toward the edge of the desert.
As soon as the demonic mist approached, a furious roar rang out from the barren desert.
"Sir, do you really have to kill me?!"
With a flash of blood-red light, the sand and stones on the ground suddenly condensed into a huge azure lion. It had 16 pairs of wings on its back and a sharp horn on its head, but it had already been broken.
This was the Cloud Lion's original appearance. What had been destroyed by the Scattered Devil was only the stone skin covering its body.
Of course, its sharp horn was also destroyed by the Scattered Demon's fist light.
However, when the fist light was about to reach its body, the Cloud Lion's body escaped by using the Earth Escape Technique.
Looking at the monstrous demonic fog coming toward it, the Stone Lion's eyes flashed with ferocity. It stomped the ground, and the 90 million stone statues on the third floor of the forbidden area lit up with blood-red light.
Every 1,000 stone statues formed a small circular formation, which was equivalent to a formation eye.
The 90,000 small circular formations formed a large circular formation, which was a peak Immortal Void Realm blood-red formation.
This was a formation that the Cloud Lion had spent a hundred thousand years to set up with countless stone statues.
It had a secret technique that could drain the blood of living creatures and petrify them.
After petrifying humans and demonic beasts, they would be in a half-dead state and would turn into stone statues.
The blood formation formed by the 90 million stone statues was called the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Formation!
The Cloud Lion was furious. It knew that it was not a match for the Scattered Demon, but with the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Formation, it might not die at the hands of the Scattered Demon.
It decided to fight the Scattered Demon.
"Blood Formation, activate!"
The Cloud Lion opened its mouth and spat out a ray of blood-red light that shot into the ground.
In an instant, the 90 million stone statues that were floating with blood-red light shattered!
The blood-red light formed a huge blood-red hexagram formation on the ground.
Countless rays of blood-red light flew out from the hexagram formation and dispersed the demonic fog that covered the sky.
The rays of light continued to attack the Scattered Demon. The Scattered Demon's eyes revealed a serious expression, but in the blink of an eye, he laughed arrogantly.
"This formation is not bad. Haha! This blood-red light is formed from the souls of ninety million living beings. To me, it's a great supplement that's hard to come by. After devouring the blood rain, my cultivation will recover to its peak! Haha! Devour! "
The Scattered Demon laughed loudly and reversed the Demonic Qi. His body shattered into a monstrous demonic fog, which then turned into a huge black skull.
The skull opened its mouth and swallowed. A boundless suction force came out and devoured the blood rain that filled the sky.
The moment it swallowed the blood rain, the hexagram formation on the ground immediately dimmed and the formation lines disappeared!
A peak Immortal Void Realm formation was devoured by the Scattered Demon!
"Impossible! I spent 100,000 years to set up this killing formation! "The Cloud Lion could not believe what it was seeing.
Then, an even more unbelievable scene appeared.
After the black skull swallowed the blood rain, its aura rose.
It laughed evilly and transformed back into the Scattered Demon's huge body.
At this moment, the Scattered Demon was surrounded by a terrifying and ferocious blood-red light.
The blood-red light contained the soul power of 90 million mortals, cultivators and demonic beasts. It was being refined by the Scattered Demon at a crazy rate.
The Scattered Demon's aura rose steadily and gradually broke through the Nine Shattering Realm. Then, it continued to rise towards the peak of the Nine Shattering Realm, all the way to the Void Fragmentation Realm!
An Incomplete Life Immortal Realm cultivator was definitely not comparable to a Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator!
When the Scattered Demon was at the Eight Shattering Realm, he was already strong enough to crush the Cloud Lion. Now that his cultivation base had completely recovered, killing the Cloud Lion was like killing an ant!
Ning Fan's expression was filled with uncertainty.
The improvement of the Scattered Demon's cultivation base was both good and bad.
He could still control the Scattered Demon one more time. Now that his cultivation base had recovered, he would still have the power to fight against a Rogue Immortal.
However, he could only control the Scattered Demon once. After the next time, the Ancestral Mourning Puppet's strings would surely be broken and the Scattered Demon would probably rebel …
"Forget it. We'll talk about the future later … Kill the Cloud Lion!"
"Let's kill him then. Hahaha!"
The Scattered Demon laughed loudly. He was in a good mood. He lifted his foot and stomped on the ground. A monstrous devil qi immediately spread out in all directions, dyeing the entire blood desert black.
All of a sudden, millions of devil flames burned on the ground in the shape of black lotuses.
The Scattered Demon stomped on the ground again. Millions of black lotuses immediately flew up and shot towards the Cloud Lion like meteors.
It was the Scattered Demon's full-force attack. If he encounters the sect masters of the three worlds again, it would be enough to incinerate them to death!
The Cloud Lion did not dare to face the devil flames head-on. Shocked, he wanted to escape using the Earth Escape Technique. However, he was shocked to find that the ground was already sealed by the Scattered Demon's devil qi. He could not use the Earth Escape Technique.
"Run! Let's see where you can run to this time. Hahaha! "
The Scattered Demon laughed loudly. The monstrous devil flames rolled towards the Cloud Lion along with his laughter, turning into countless layers of black flames, drowning the Cloud Lion.
Immediately, a hoarse roar of a lion resounded in the sea of flames.
However, just a moment later, the roar gradually faded away and eventually, it could no longer be heard.
The Cloud Lion was dead!
"Not good! Even the Cloud Lion is dead. I'm definitely going to die! "
The Rain Sovereign had been paying attention to the battlefield. When he saw the Cloud Lion activating the grand formation, he thought that he had a chance of winning.
Who would have thought that the situation would be completely reversed in just a short while?
After devouring the blood formation, the scattered devil's strength increased greatly. In the blink of an eye, the Cloud Lion had fallen without leaving a corpse …
The Rain Emperor shivered all over. The terror of a loose demon caused him to be unable to summon the slightest bit of will to resist.
He knew that he had to escape this time.
If he couldn't escape, he would die here!
He did not run towards the entrance of the third floor which was guarded by Ning Fan nor did he run towards the edge of the formation light.
He activated the Battle Cloud Talisman. The speed of his traveling light was comparable to that of a rogue immortal. However, he could neither break the grand sealing formation nor fight against the Sin Li Beast beneath Ning Fan's feet.
No matter how fast he was, it was useless. There was no way to escape!
"This emperor only has one last way to escape … Rain Gate, open!"
The Rain Sovereign took out a jade scroll from the Gate of Rain and crushed it. He instantly summoned the Gate of Rain and opened up the Realm Passage.
With his cultivation base, he did not need to spend a long time to summon the Rain Gate like Ning Fan. He only needed to do it in an instant.
Originally, he had four jade slips from the Rain Gate. He had given Ning Fan two of them. Now, he only had two left.
One of them was blank and had yet to be located. The jade slip that he crushed was located in the Mountain World.
He had the most friends in the Mountain World. If he wants to escape, he would certainly head to the Mountain World.
"If I knew that Ning Fan has a rogue devil as his helper, I certainly wouldn't have the intention to kill him or provoke him. It's really … too late for regrets! "
"Fine! Fine! Fine! This brat is in the Rain World. I definitely can't stay here and wait for death. I need to escape with my life first. If I have the chance in the future, I will return to the Rain World and settle the old scores with this brat … "
The Rain Sovereign's eyes flashed with cold light. He took a step into the Rain Gate.
Ning Fan watched the Rain Sovereign walk into the Rain Gate from afar and slowly closed his eyes.
Even the sect masters of the three worlds could not escape from the rogue devil using the Realm Passage. Naturally, the Rain Sovereign could not do it either.
"Leave your primordial spirit behind. I want to search your soul."
Ning Fan said indifferently. The rogue devil understood his intention. He let out a shrill howl and turned into devil mist, chasing after him into the Realm Passage …
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Realm Passage collapsed.
As for the rogue devil, he brought the Rain Sovereign's primordial spirit and storage pouch back to the forbidden area of the third floor. He handed them to Ning Fan and said with a cold smile.
"This is the second time I'm helping you. The next time will be the last time. Haha! When the time comes … "
"Keep!"
Ning Fan was too lazy to talk nonsense with the rogue devil. He patted the Devil Sealing Pouch and kept the rogue devil inside.
Ning Fan was not in the mood to see what was inside the Rain Sovereign's storage pouch for now.
He kept the Rain Sovereign's storage pouch and stared coldly at the illusory primordial spirit in his hand.
The Rain Sovereign was nearly scared to death when he was stared at by Ning Fan's cold gaze. His body went limp and he opened his mouth to beg for mercy.
"I was muddle-headed and that's why I attacked you. If you're willing to spare my life, I'm willing to share the Rain World with you equally!"
"There's no need for that. Now, I just want your memories. That's all. Soul Searching! "
Ning Fan placed his palm on the top of the Rain Sovereign's primordial spirit and performed the Soul Searching and Memory Erasing Technique.
At first, the Rain Sovereign was still screaming. Then, his eyes became dull and he could no longer scream.
Ning Fan searched through the Rain Sovereign's memories. In those memories, he saw the past where the Rain Sovereign dealt with the Thunder Sovereign.
He saw the divination that the Rain Sovereign used and the incident where the Rain Sovereign attacked Yun Tianjue!
On that night, a seven-colored elderly man came to the Rain Palace and looked for the Rain Sovereign and the Fourth Prince …
"It's this part of the memories!"
Ning Fan suppressed the anger in his heart and closed his eyes. His mind sank into the Rain Sovereign's memories.
...
In the Heavenly Cloud Country of the Rain World more than a thousand years ago.
Ning Fan was dressed in white robes. He flew in the night sky of the Heavenly Cloud Ten Regions. No one could see him. He did not belong to this part of the memories.
He flew all the way to the Ruling Sky City.
Inside the Ruling Sky City, in a top-secret palace, a seven-colored elderly man sat on a throne. The Rain Sovereign and another young cultivator stood below him.
"I wonder what Exalted Immortal has come to my palace!" The Rain Sovereign cupped his fists and lowered his head. He did not dare to raise his head to look at the seven-colored elderly man at all.
That person was so terrifying that it made him shudder!
That person's cultivation base was beyond his understanding!
The Rain Sovereign could not afford to anger that seven-colored elderly man at all!
Ning Fan landed outside the palace and passed through the formation light. He stood outside the palace gate and coldly looked at the scene inside the palace.
The Rain Sovereign could not see him. The young cultivator could not see him as well. Only the seven-colored elderly man exclaimed softly when he saw Ning Fan appear. He pinched his fingers and calculated but he could not figure out anything.
"Was it just my imagination …?" The seven-colored elderly man smiled faintly and continued. "Initially, I wanted to find a Dao Corpse for my disciple in the Rain World. I didn't expect that I would accidentally find a Divine Grade Dao Corpse … Is it the fate of a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon and becoming an ordinary mortal that defies the heavens? Hehe. How interesting. In that case, I need to change the Dao Corpse. Let this unborn child become one of the seven Dao Corpses of Si Ming. "
