As for Liu Zhou and the others, Ning Fan just saved them out of convenience. He did not attach much importance to them.
The reason why he saved Liu Zhou was because he admired Liu Zhou's determination to die rather than abandon a junior. That was all.
With just a single step, he arrived at the deepest part of the Oblique Moon Mountain Range.
There were many devil beasts in this mountain, but none of them dared to offend Ning Fan.
The reason why these devil beasts were afraid of Ning Fan was not because of his powerful devil bloodline. Instead, they were just afraid of the baleful qi hidden in his body.
Ever since Ning Fan had refined the ghost mask, the devil beasts in this place would never be able to sense the grade of his devil blood if he was unwilling to do so.
The Spirit Platform Star was a low-grade cultivation star. The strongest cultivators and devil beasts on the star were only at the Void Fragmentation Realm.
In the Oblique Moon Mountain Range, there were a total of thirty-four Void Fragmentation Realm devil beasts. The one with the highest cultivation base had even reached the Seventh Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm.
Seventh Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm. In the Nine Worlds of the lower world, a Seventh Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm expert would definitely be considered as an earth-shattering figure.
However, in front of the current Ning Fan, a Seventh Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm devil beast could only prostrate before him. It definitely did not have the courage to provoke him.
"ROAR!!!"
The moment Ning Fan stepped into the Oblique Moon Mountain Range, a Seventh Level Shatterer Devil Beast let out a warning roar.
It was not warning Ning Fan, but the beasts in the Crescent Mountain Range. It was warning them to hide in their own nests and not to provoke Ning Fan no matter what!
Ning Fan walked along a stream between the mountains and walked all the way to the mountainside.
He also heard the demonic roar, but he didn't care.
The Demonic Beasts he encountered along the way all prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to make things difficult for him for fear of offending him.
There were also quite a number of devil beasts that had transformed into their human forms. They stood in the middle of the bushes and bowed to Ning Fan respectfully.
These devil beasts were the local devil race of the Ling Tai Mountain. Even though they were enemies with the cultivators of the Ling Tai Mountain, they did not dare to offend a Second Step cultivator like Ning Fan.
Ning Fan did not go on a killing spree on the Spirit Platform Star. He did not harbor any enmity towards the devil race in this place.
He only had one purpose in coming to this planet, and that was to obtain the Devil Qi Crystal that had fallen on this planet.
The source of the stream was a small jade-green stone pond located halfway up the mountain.
There was originally a row of bamboo buildings near the pool, left behind by the cultivators who once lived here.
According to Ning Fan's senses, the devil qi crystal left behind by the Heavenly Devil had fallen into this pool.
There was no overflowing Devil Qi like he had imagined. At this moment, the Devil Qi crystal sank to the bottom of the pond. Its color was dim, like an ordinary stone, and it did not attract any attention.
First-step cultivators and demonic beasts simply could not sense anything unusual about this stone.
The demonic beasts of the Spirit Platform Star had gone on a rampage and besieged the Crescent Mountain Range, all for the sake of the demonic qi crystal. Unfortunately, no one knew where the crystal was.
What Liu Zhou didn't know was that the black meteor he saw when he was observing the stars that day was the demonic aura crystal.
What the beasts did not know was that the Heavenly Demonic Crystal that they had painstakingly searched for in the Crescent Mountain was in this inconspicuous stone pond.
When Ning Fan arrived at the small stone pond, there were two little girls playing in the water.
The two little girls looked to be less than three years old. One of them had pigtails and a pink headband. She was wearing a red dress and a red coat. The other had her hair tied up and had a big black bow on her head. She was wearing a black jacket and skirt. Her red lips and white teeth made her look extremely adorable.
They were barefooted in the water. The water was just above their calves.
There was a faint flow of demonic qi on their bodies. It was very faint, but it couldn't escape Ning Fan's eyes.
Ning Fan could tell at a glance that these two little girls were devils. Although there was demonic qi on their bodies, it was extremely weak. It was only equivalent to the first or second level of the Vein Opening Realm.
The two little girls were originally playing in the water. When they saw Ning Fan suddenly appear, they were startled.
After seeing the appearance of the person who came, the two little girls heaved a sigh of relief. The one with pigtails giggled and said in a childish voice: "Yunyun was scared to death.
"Yunyun was scared to death. I thought it was Elder, but it turns out that it was the second-step cultivator that Elder mentioned. Fortunately, it isn't Grandpa. Grandpa never allows us to play in the water. He will punish us every time we see it. Grandpa said that before we reach the Harmonious Spirit Realm, we must stay away from all water sources. Once the devil fire in our hearts is extinguished, we will lose our lives. "
"Hehe, since it isn't Grandpa, let's continue playing. Qinqin loves playing with water the most. Aiya, should we greet this' Second Step Big Brother '? Let's go. Grandpa said that we must be polite when meeting guests. Let's go greet the guests quickly! "
The little girl with a butterfly knot on her head cheered and jumped in the stone pond. She pulled the other little girl along as they stepped on the water and ran towards Ning Fan without the slightest bit of fear.
The two little girls of the devil race naturally heard the warning of the devil roar, but they didn't think much of it.
The devil roar was issued by their Grandpa. He repeatedly warned the devils of the Crescent Mountain to never offend Ning Fan, this Second Step old monster.
Unfortunately, the two little girls in the pond were still very young. How could they understand the meaning of the Second Step?
To them, Vein Opening, Harmonious Spirit, and Second Step were extremely unfamiliar terms that they couldn't understand.
To them, there was no one in this world that was more terrifying than their Grandpa. After all, when their Grandpa was angry, he would hit their palms.
Moreover, in the eyes of the two little girls, Ning Fan looked like a kind person who could be bullied by others. He didn't look like an evil person at all!
"Hello, Big Brother of the Second Step. I'm Qinqin. She's my younger sister. Her name is Yunyun."
The little girl who had a butterfly knot on her head walked towards Ning Fan barefooted while pulling the other little girl and said in a childish voice.
Ning Fan was slightly stunned. Then, he looked at the two little girls in front of him with great amusement.
All the devils in the mountains and plains feared him like a tiger and avoided him from a thousand li * (500m per li). However, these two little girls weren't afraid of him at all. They even called him Big Brother of the Second Step. It was really interesting.
Presumably, these two little girls had heard the devil roar just now and knew that he had the cultivation base of the Second Step. However, they didn't understand the meaning of the 'Second Step' at all.
"Aren't you two afraid of me?" Ning Fan asked with a smile.
"Why should we be afraid?" The two little girls asked back with a puzzled look.
"Why …?" Ning Fan was stunned. Then, he laughed involuntarily.
That's right. Why did these two little girls have to be afraid of him?
Was it because his cultivation base was high? Was it because he could easily take the lives of all the devils in this place …?
Why did those with low cultivation base have to be afraid of those with high cultivation base?
Why did the common people have to be afraid of those who were high and mighty?
"It's right that you two aren't afraid of me. However, the rules of this world are wrong." Ning Fan smiled and then sighed.
After hearing Ning Fan's sigh that carried a profound meaning, the two little girls wore blank expressions, expressing their puzzlement.
Ning Fan did not expect the two little girls to understand him. Then, he smiled at them and said, "You two are still young.
"You're so young. Why are you playing here alone? Don't let your parents worry. "
When he said that, he originally wanted the two girls to go home obediently. However, as soon as he said that, the two girls' expressions turned gloomy. Their eyes turned red and they sobbed.
"Father was killed by the Spirit Platform Star Lord. Mother wanted to snatch father's corpse back but the Spirit Platform Star Lord extracted her primordial spirit and refined it into a pill …"
Ning Fan's heart was slightly moved. He kept his smile and looked at the sky with a gloomy expression.
The Spirit Platform Star Lord was the leader of the cultivators of the Spirit Platform Star. However, he was also the nightmare of the devil race …
When war broke out, there would be orphans among the cultivators. Those who lost their parents in the devil race were also orphans …
After a while, Ning Fan squatted down and wiped away the tears of the two little girls.
"Are there any elders in your family?"
"There's also Grandpa …"
"Is that so? I want to take something from this stone pond. The process might be a little dangerous. Can you two leave this place temporarily and go home to find your grandpa to avoid the danger here?"
"No! I don't want to leave yet. I haven't played enough. "Yun Yun shook her head like a rattle drum and pouted her lips to express her objection. She had not played enough and she did not want to leave at all.
"Brother, you want to take something from this stone pond? What is it? Will it really be dangerous? Do we really need to avoid it? "
Qinqin did not object to it. She wiped her tears and asked carefully.
"Yes. There will be some danger. I can't tell you what it is. However, I can tell you that the surroundings of this pond might be attacked soon. It's better for you to go home and avoid it … Of course, if you really don't want to leave, you can hide behind me. I will protect you. "
Having said that, Ning Fan stood up and looked at the two little girls with a smile.
There were some hidden dangers in the devil qi crystal. The process of taking the crystal might be a little dangerous.
Ning Fan had been repeatedly checking the devil qi crystal along the way.
After repeated checks, Ning Fan was sure that with his current cultivation base, it wouldn't be difficult for him to eliminate the hidden devil in the devil qi crystal and retrieve the crystal.
If the two little girls were unwilling to leave, he would not force them.
To him, it wasn't difficult to protect the two little girls during the process of taking the crystal.
Ning Fan didn't hate the two little girls with pure hearts. Instead, he liked them a little, even if they were born in the devil race.
What he liked was the purity of the two little girls' hearts. They weren't tainted by the laws of the world.
Ning Fan had always been indifferent to the difference between the three races. In his opinion, the devil was cultivation.
Only those who are inclusive can control everything.
The cultivation principle of the Yin Yang Transformation was to embrace everything that could be used. This point had long been integrated into Ning Fan's Dao sense.
Just as Ning Fan's voice faded, the anxious voice of an old man suddenly resounded in the sky.
"Senior, please forgive them! They are my granddaughters. They are young and ignorant. If they said something wrong and offended you, I hope that you will be magnanimous and don't lower yourself to the same level as the two little girls! "
As soon as the voice faded, a Seventh Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm red-haired old man descended from the sky, stepping on a flaming devil cloud. He was wearing a flaming armor.
The moment he landed, he immediately shielded the two little girls behind him and cupped his fists at Ning Fan. His expression was extremely nervous.
The qi of this old man was obviously the same qi as the devil beast that let out the devil roar. They were the same person.
Ning Fan's eyes flickered. He knew that this devil was the fire devil that let out the devil roar. He was also the grandfather of the two little girls.
"Grandfather! Why are you here?! "The two little girls asked nervously as soon as they saw the old man.
They were worried that the old man would punish them for playing in the water.
"Shut up! Don't ask a single question! "
The red-haired old man fiercely scolded the two girls. His expression was full of concern and nervousness.
He gritted his teeth and said respectfully to Ning Fan, "Since senior has something to do, I will not disturb you anymore. I will leave with the two little girls now!"
He was afraid. He was afraid that his two ignorant girls would offend the fiend Ning Fan and lose their lives!
How could the two little girls understand these things? When they heard the stern tone of their grandfather, their eyes immediately turned red. However, they did not dare to cry. Obviously, they were extremely afraid of him.
Ning Fan shook his head and said, "It's alright. It's good to have you here. You stay here with the two little girls and hide ten zhang behind me. Don't move recklessly. Later, I will take an item from the stone pond. This process might trigger a strange phenomenon of devil qi. It will be very beneficial to the two little girls. "
"Devil Qi Overflow!"
After hearing Ning Fan's words, the red-haired old man's expression changed. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
The so-called devil qi overflow was a phenomenon that could only be triggered after the death of a Second Step Devil Beast.
After the death of a Second Step Devil Beast, the enormous magic power in its body would have a certain chance to turn into a devil qi overflow phenomenon.
The range of the phenomenon would not be too wide. If there were low-grade devils who had yet to reach the Harmonious Spirit Realm within the range, they would be blessed by the devil qi. Their meridians and marrow would be cleansed and they would obtain great benefits, which could greatly improve their potential in devil cultivation.
Of course, the phenomenon of devil qi overflow would not appear so easily.
Only a few powerful devil beasts could cause such a phenomenon after their death …
The red-haired old man did not know why Ning Fan came to the Oblique Moon Mountain Range. He also did not know if Ning Fan could really trigger the devil qi overflow phenomenon to bring some good fortune to his two granddaughters.
He only knew that Ning Fan was extremely strong and he was not someone he could fight. He must not offend.
If Ning Fan did not allow him to leave, he would not dare to leave the area of the stone pond.
The red-haired old man sighed softly. He held the two little boys in each of his hands and stood ten zhang away from Ning Fan's back according to his order.
The two little boys looked at their grandfather who had a nervous and fearful expression, feeling puzzled.
In their impression, their grandfather did not show much fear even when he saw the Spirit Platform Star Lord.
They could not understand why their grandfather would be so afraid of Ning Fan.
Ning Fan obviously looked like a harmless big brother …
"What's your name?" Ning Fan did not turn around but his voice went into the red-haired old man's ears.
"Junior's name is Ke Long. I'm a devil beast of the Fire Devil Clan." The red-haired old man immediately answered nervously after hearing Ning Fan's question.
"Ke Long, is it? You have already taken half a step into the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm by tempering your primordial spirit with devil flames. The reason why you are stuck at the bottleneck and could not break through is not because of the power of the flames but because of the essence of the flames …"
Ning Fan said indifferently. Suddenly, he waved his hand. Black devil flames rushed out from his sleeves and instantly condensed into a gigantic flaming palm above the stone pond.
Then, he slapped it hard!
As soon as he slapped the palm, endless waves of fire immediately surged out in circles. However, they were surrounded by Ning Fan and sealed within the area of the stone pond.
The waves of fire suddenly turned into black fiery butterflies. They were so fine that even the stripes on their wings could be seen clearly.
The fiery butterflies rushed into the pond. Strangely, they did not have any reaction with the water.
Each of these fiery butterflies had an astonishing temperature. However, they did not cause any evaporation of the pond water …
"This is …!"
Ke Long's eyes widened in surprise. He had never seen such an exquisite fire-control technique.
When two objects come into contact with each other, the one with a higher temperature would always transfer heat to the one with a lower temperature.
However, the fiery butterflies that were transformed from Ning Fan's flames did not lose any of their heat. The scorching heat did not transfer to the pond water at all. Naturally, the pond water did not evaporate at all …
This kind of exquisite fire-control technique might not be unfamiliar to Second Step cultivators. However, to Ke Long, it was the first time he had seen something like this in his life!
The reason why he could not break through to the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm was precisely because he lacked the ability to control fire.
The moment he saw Ning Fan's fire-control technique, Ke Long felt as if a new door had opened in front of him. This door would lead him all the way to the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm!
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior!" This sentence was stuck in Ke Long's throat. Before he could say it out, his expression changed greatly. He looked at the stone pond not far away with fear.
When the fiery butterflies entered the stone pond, it immediately caused a huge change. Visible substantial devil qi rushed out from the stone pond in a frenzy.
In the center of the devil qi, a stone with a dim light flew high up into the sky.
At first, the stone was dim. A moment later, it suddenly shone with bright light and turned into a sparkling and translucent devil qi crystal.
As soon as the crystal was formed, the devil qi in the surrounding area suddenly rushed towards the crystal and attached to it. Then, it transformed into a thirty zhang * (3.33m per zhang) large devil head and kept the crystal inside its body!
This devil head did not have a mouth or eyes. There were two embryonic horns on its head which had yet to fully grow.
There were also six bald wings on its back. However, they were still far from fully grown.
Even so, the aura force of this devil had almost reached the Mid Human Profound Realm!
"This is an Early Human Profound Realm devil creature! Its cultivation base is already close to breaking through the Early Human Profound Realm and attaining the Mid Human Profound Realm! "Ke Long said in disbelief.
He never knew that there was actually a Second Step devil creature hiding in the nameless stone pond of the Tilting Moon Mountain Range!
Even though this devil creature was only at the Early Human Profound Realm, it gave Ke Long a feeling that it was invincible!
The two little girls also became afraid!
Even though they were insensible little children, they were still members of the devil race after all. They could instinctively feel how terrifying the devil creature in front of them was.
It was even scarier than their elder and the Spirit Platform Star Lord!
Just when Ke Long and the two little girls were terrified, Ning Fan's calm voice suddenly entered their ears.
"Don't be afraid. It's just a devil creature that has reached the end of its road."
His tone was filled with slight disdain. Suddenly, he raised his hand and more devil flames condensed into a palm of fire. Then, he slapped the devil creature that had just taken form.
With just a single palm strike, a dignified Early Human Profound Realm devil creature was directly smashed into pieces. Devil qi sizzled and disappeared in the vast sky …
"Killing a Human Profound Realm devil creature with a single palm strike?! How is this possible?! That's a Human Profound Realm devil creature! "
Ke Long cried out in disbelief. The two little girls, on the other hand, were completely dumbfounded. They were like two exquisitely carved porcelain dolls, not moving at all.
After killing this devil creature, Ning Fan's hand moved at lightning speed. He directly held the devil qi crystal in his hand and felt the vast devil qi within it.
"This crystal is a little strange …" Ning Fan muttered.
