Inside the Heavenly Tomb Palace, the shockwaves from the battle only subsided after two hours.
When all the shockwaves dispersed, Ning Fan was standing on top of a gigantic stone head. His hand was holding a relic that was shrouded in black qi. His eyes sparkled.
This relic was obtained by killing the Illusion Stone Devil which was close to the Crossing Truth Realm.
Ning Fan did not use any of his heaven-defying trump cards such as the Heaven Holding Seal and the West Wind Technique to fight against the stone devil. He only used his magic power which was equivalent to the Early Crossing Truth Realm.
Even so, Ning Fan still had a one-sided advantage over the stone devil and emerged victorious in the end.
The Illusion Stone Devil was also shrieking miserably throughout the battle. It sounded extremely pitiful …
"So this is the Stone Devil Relic … If a cultivator who cultivates earth elemental cultivation method refines this item, he or she will certainly obtain great benefits. As for me, I have the Great Five Elements Physique. If I refine this item, my earth elemental physique will improve tremendously … "
Ning Fan's eyes flashed. In the past, he was always busy and did not have much time to cultivate the Great Five Elements Physique.
Now, besides cultivating the War God Art, he could consider cultivating the Great Five Elements Physique to perfection.
The grand formation of the palace flashed and Ning Fan was teleported back to the outside world. The entire Stone Devil Heavenly Tomb gradually entered a dormant state. It would not open again for at least ten years.
When Ning Fan reappeared in front of Huang Xuanzi and the others with the relic in his hand, all the cultivators present were shocked.
Huang Xuanzi, in particular, looked at Ning Fan with a hint of fear in his eyes.
He sucked in a breath of cold air and thought to himself, Ning Fan is really powerful. Even though his cultivation base is only at the Mid Ghost Profound Realm, he was able to kill the stone devil and obtain the relic all by himself.
Ning Fan just glanced at everyone indifferently and kept the relic. Then, he was about to leave.
Huang Xuanzi, however, seemed to be struggling. After a while, he made up his mind. He took a step forward and cupped his fists at Ning Fan.
"Fellow Daoist, you don't seem to be a cultivator of the Stone Devil Scripture. I wonder if you can sell this relic to me?"
Ning Fan gave Huang Xuanzi a meaningful look and said indifferently. "I'm not selling it."
After hearing what Ning Fan said, Huang Xuanzi gritted his teeth and took out a jade box. He then passed it to Ning Fan along with a storage pouch.
"In this jade box, there is a Four Star Earth Element Relic called the Rock Demon Relic. There are 500 million Dao Gems in this storage pouch. In this Tomb World, a Three Star Relic would normally only be sold for 500 million Dao Gems … This old man is willing to exchange these things for Fellow Daoist's Stone Devil Relic! "
At this moment, Huang Xuanzi's face was filled with pain. His own cultivation technique was the "Stone Demon Sutra", and he desperately needed a Stone Demon Relic to break through to the next realm.
If not for that, he would never be willing to exchange a four-star Relic for a three-star Relic, and he even had to pay 500 million Dao Crystals …
The market price of a three-star Relic was around five hundred million Dao crystal.
The market price of a four-star relic was at least two billion Dao Crystals …
Ning Fan opened the jade box. Through the layers of restrictions on the box, he scanned the Rock Devil Relic inside.
The Rock Demon Relic came from the fourth layer of the Rock Demon Heavenly Tomb and was considered a four-star relic. In terms of the Earth Elemental Energy, this relic was definitely several times more powerful than the Stone Demon Relic …
It's not a loss to exchange for relics …
"If that's the case, why can't I exchange the relic with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fan raised his hand and wiped away the restrictions on the jade box. Then, he kept the jade box and the storage pouch containing the Dao Crystals.
Then, he took out the Stone Demon Relic that he had obtained previously and passed it to Huang Xuanzi. Then, he turned around and left.
Huang Xuanzi received the Stone Devil Relic. His expression changed again. Even an ordinary cultivator like Du Zhen would not be able to easily erase the restriction on the jade box. However, Ning Fan was able to break it just by raising his hand …
"Could it be that this man has concealed his cultivation base? Could it be that his true cultivation base is already at the Du Zhen Realm?! Yes, that must be the case! "
When he thought of how Ning Fan wanted to challenge the Stone Demon Heavenly Tomb and how he mocked him, Huang Xuanzi immediately broke out in cold sweat.
He actually nearly offended a Senior Du Zhen … Luckily, the latter did not seem to have the intention to blame him.
The Du Zhen Realm … Even though it was just one step higher than the Peak Ghost Profound Realm, it was a realm that Huang Xuanzi would never be able to achieve in his entire life.
Among a hundred Peak Ghost Profound Realm experts, only one of them would be lucky enough to step into the Du Zhen Realm. The rest of them would be trapped outside of the Du Zhen Realm for the rest of their lives … As for Huang Xuanzi, he had failed all nine of his True Bridges. He would never be able to break through to the Du Zhen Realm in his lifetime …
...
Naturally, Ning Fan did not know what Huang Xuanzi was thinking.
After he left the Stone Demon Heavenly Tomb, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he spent five thousand Dao Crystals and chose one of the many human tombs on the third floor of the Divine Tomb. He then went into seclusion there to refine the Rock Demon Relic.
Cultivating fiendgod cultivation methods in the human tombs would usually yield twice the result with half the effort.
Compared to the outside world, refining the fiendgod relic here would not waste any of its energy.
All of this information was told to Ning Fan by the beautiful lady earlier.
Inside one of the human tombs, Ning Fan's eyes glowed with green light as he stared at the Rock Demon Relic which was shrouded in black qi.
With his eyesight, he could naturally see that this Rock Demon Relic contained some Dao Law energy.
This Dao Law energy belonged to the category of the Dao Law of Rock.
If Ning Fan had cultivated the cultivation method of the Dao Law of Rock before, consuming this relic would give him some additional benefits.
But now, consuming this relic could only be used as an earth elemental supreme treasure to improve the earth elemental constitution of his Great Five Elements Body.
Ning Fan opened his mouth and swallowed the Rock Demon Relic in one gulp. He sat in this human tomb for three days straight.
Three days later, Ning Fan had completely devoured all the energy of this Rock Demon Relic without wasting anything.
As for the progress of the earth elemental constitution of his Great Five Elements Body, it had also increased from twenty-one percent to thirty-one percent.
Ning Fan was still very satisfied with this result.
In his opinion, using the fiendgod relic in this place to cultivate the Great Five Elements Body was obviously more efficient.
According to his initial estimation, it would be impossible for him to attain the Great Five Elements Body by relying on ordinary spiritual items of the five elements of heaven and earth without at least a trillion Dao Crystals.
However, if he were to use the fiendgod relic to cultivate the Great Five Elements Body, he would not even need a hundred billion Dao Crystals to attain the Great Five Elements Body!
Being able to save a large amount of Dao Crystals was naturally a good thing!
"The War God Art is a type of secret technique that enhances the physical body. At the end of the day, the stronger the physical body is, the better the effect of this technique will be."
"As for the cultivation of the Great Five Elements Body, every element that is successfully cultivated can make my physical body improve significantly. If I can completely repair the Great Five Elements Body in this place, I might be able to achieve a breakthrough in the realm of my physical body! When I use the War God Art in the future, the effect will also be better! "
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with determination. He rose to his feet and left this human tomb.
Two hours later, he returned again. He had already purchased a total of thirty-seven Four-Star Relics and three Five-Star Relics from the cultivation market on the first level of the Divine Tomb.
In the first three levels of the Divine Tomb, there were only a few Heavenly Tombs. Therefore, the number of One-Star to Three-Star Relics that were produced there was also very little.
However, there were a lot of Heavenly Tombs below the fourth level and the production of relics was also very high.
Therefore, in this world of the Divine Tomb, it would not be difficult to purchase relics that were above Four-Star as long as there were enough Dao Crystals.
Others naturally did not know that Ning Fan was buying the fiendgod relic to cultivate the Great Five Elements Body. They even thought that Ning Fan wanted to cultivate various types of fiendgod cultivation methods.
Ning Fan sat in the palace of the human tomb for three months. During these three months, he did one thing repeatedly which was to continuously devour the relics and refine them.
By refining the relics in this human tomb, a Four-Star Relic could increase the progress of the cultivator's physique by about ten percent.
As for a Five-Star Relic, it was enough to increase the progress of the cultivator's physique by nearly twenty percent!
Time passed day by day. Ning Fan's five elemental physiques of metal, wood, water, fire and earth were gradually repaired.
When the Great Five Elements Body was repaired one by one, Ning Fan suddenly stood up in the huge human tomb. Essence qi surged around his body and he transformed into an ancient devil giant that was eight hundred thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) in size!
His ancient devil cultivation base was originally at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Si Chen Realm, which was equivalent to the Fourth Severance of the Immortal Physique for body cultivators. It was equivalent to the Peak Human Profound Realm among cultivators.
However, after three months of arduous cultivation, the Great Five Elements Body was completely repaired. Even his ancient devil cultivation base had improved greatly.
Currently, the essence qi around the ancient devil giant that Ning Fan had transformed into was so strong that it had almost reached the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Si Chen Realm.
When he raised his hand, the five elements of heaven and earth seemed to be flowing in his hand! This was the effect of cultivating the Great Five Elements Body!
"I still need an opportunity to make a complete breakthrough …"
Ning Fan kept his ancient devil image and left the Human Tomb, returning to the first floor once again.
This time, he decided to buy a Six-Star Relic in this place.
Relics ranging from First to Five-Star Relic could usually only improve the cultivation progress of fiendgod cultivation methods.
However, Six-Star Relic had additional abilities. Not only could it be used to cultivate cultivation methods, but it could also improve the level of one's physical body by a lot.
Because of this magical effect, Six-Star Relic was usually priceless in this world of the Divine Tomb. Any one of them would be snatched by the body refinement old monsters in this place in a frenzy. A single one of them could be sold for tens of billions of Dao Crystals.
Previously, when Ning Fan was cultivating the Great Five Elements Body Refinement Realm, he did not buy a Six-Star Relic because it was too expensive.
The reason why he came to buy it now was because he had no other choice but to break through to the ancient devil realm.
On the first floor of the Divine Tomb, there were only a few cultivation shops that sold Six-Star Relic. All of them were opened by cultivators of the Godly Void Pavilion.
After all, only the disciples of the Godly Void Pavilion were qualified to enter the fourth floor and below to challenge the various grave palaces.
Three months ago, when Ning Fan came here to buy relics, he had also seen a Six-Star Relic for sale.
This time, it seemed to be a little unfortunate. He had visited all of the shops and there was only one shop that had a Six-Star Relic for sale.
The owner of this shop was a bald burly man whose body was emitting intense blood qi. He wore a large red cloak and his cultivation base was at the Early Crossing Truth Realm.
However, this person's qi was still not very stable. It was obvious that he had just broken through to the Crossing Truth Realm not long ago and had yet to completely stabilize his cultivation base.
When Ning Fan entered the shop, this person was still meditating with his legs crossed. He only moved his eyelids slightly but did not even open his eyes. He did not even look at Ning Fan.
However, when Ning Fan walked towards the shelf where the Six-Star Relic was placed, this person suddenly opened his eyes and said arrogantly.
"A junior at the Mid Ghost Profound Realm doesn't have the right to buy this' Blood Devil Relic '. Get lost!"
Ning Fan frowned and glanced at the bald burly man. "The reason why you are selling this relic is none other than to earn Dao Crystals. I naturally have enough Dao Crystals with me. I can buy this relic from you!"
"I'm not selling it means I'm not selling it! Why are you talking so much nonsense?! A mere Ghost Profound Realm cultivator doesn't have the right to buy this item from me! "The bald burly man yawned and closed his eyes, no longer paying attention to Ning Fan.
"Right … In your opinion, what do you think I should do to be qualified to buy this item?" Ning Fan's tone was still indifferent.
The bald burly man immediately opened his eyes and said with a sneer. "I will just sit here. No matter what kind of attack you use, as long as you can make me move half a step, I will sell this item to you! If you can't do it, then get lost! "
"No matter what kind of attack I use …?"
Ning Fan muttered to himself indifferently. His eyes turned sharp and he suddenly raised his hand. The Memory Severing Dao Sword appeared in his hand.
He did not use any of his trump cards. He just activated all of his magic power and channeled it into the sword. At the same time, he channeled all of his essence qi into the sword. Without saying a word, he swung the sword at the bald burly man's head!
All of a sudden, an extremely dazzling sword light appeared on the Dao Sword. It gathered the powerful power of a cultivator who cultivated both body and magic power.
Countless illusory sword shadows immediately exploded in the small cultivation shop.
With the strength of Ning Fan's magic power, the destructive power of his sword had already reached the level of a strike from the Du Zhen realm.
After fusing with the power of his essence qi, there were only a few people who could calmly use the destructive power of this sword among the Early Du Zhen realm cultivators!
The bald burly man's expression immediately changed. His eyes were filled with deep astonishment. How could he still be bothered to sit down and cultivate? He immediately leaped out of the shop, trying to avoid the attack of the sword light.
At the next moment, the entire shop was razed to the ground by Ning Fan's sword and turned into ruins. Even the sky of the entire cultivation market was filled with Ning Fan's illusory sword qi, which shocked countless cultivators in the market!
Above the ruins, Ning Fan held a jade box in his hand. The Six Stars Relic that the bald burly man sold just now was placed in the jade box.
He stood above the ruins and looked at the bald man in the sky expressionlessly. With a wave of his hand, he tossed the storage pouch which contained fifty billion Dao Crystals to the bald man and turned to leave.
The bald burly man was left standing in the sky with a storage pouch in his hand. He looked at the ruins on the ground and then at Ning Fan's back. His eyes were filled with astonishment and fear.
On his neck, there was a wound that was neither shallow nor deep. Blood kept flowing out of it.
"Mid Ghost Profound Realm cultivator who cultivates both body and magic power. The destructive power of his sword is even stronger than the Du Zhen realm! Who is this person? When did such a person appear in the Eastern Ming Country?! "
"That sword strike of his was still merciful. Otherwise, with the speed and fierceness of his attack, he would have most likely beheaded me with a single strike!"
While the bald burly man was shocked, countless cultivators in the area were also shocked.
"Who is that white-robed cultivator? He actually managed to injure Yuan Kuang with a single sword attack despite being at the Mid Ghost Profound Realm! The 'Blood Slave' Yuan Kuang was the tomb keeper who ranked seventy-fourth in the previous tomb competition. Now that he has broken through to the Du Zhen realm, I'm afraid it won't be difficult for him to get into the top fifty in this tomb competition! "
Among the crowd, a Mysterious Life Immortal suddenly said with a solemn expression. "This old man always feels that this person's appearance is somewhat familiar. He seems to be similar to the junior whose name shook the Eastern Heaven many years ago …"
"Is he the disciple who joined the Slaughter Palace after slaughtering a hundred Immortals with his First Step cultivation?! Today, it has only been less than a hundred years, but he has already reached the Mid Ghost Profound Realm! "Another person who had been to the Slaughter Palace's disciple recruitment ceremony recognized Ning Fan!
"What?! This person is the Old Devil Qian Qiu who possesses the God Explosion Secret Technique that even Du Zhen had to avoid! "Immediately, a few old monsters exclaimed.
After so many years, the name of the Old Devil Qian Qiu was still fresh in the minds of some people.
A small number of cultivators gradually recalled the dusty memories of the majority of the cultivators. What happened in the past had shaken the Eastern Heaven. Many old monsters had heard of it.
Hearing the name of God Explosion, the crowd was in an uproar. Even the Mid and Late Du Zhen cultivators' expressions changed drastically when they heard the name.
At this moment, Yuan Kuang was so shocked that he was speechless. He could never imagine that the cultivator who forced him to retreat with a single sword strike was actually the Old Devil Qian Qiu from many years ago …
He still remembered that when Yuan Kuang first received a bounty of ten billion from Ning Fan in the past, he was slightly tempted and wanted to earn a handsome reward …
Fortunately, he had another mission in the Godly Void Pavilion at that time which prevented him from leaving. That was why he did not foolishly go to the Yao Sect Star Region to seek his death …
"Devil Lord Qian Qiu! So this person is Devil Lord Qian Qiu! "
Yuan Kuang took out an old bounty from his storage pouch. This bounty had already lost its effect after Ning Fan joined the Slaughter Palace.
Looking at the portrait on it, Yuan Kuang could not help but shudder. His heart was still filled with lingering fear.
"As expected, it's him … The person who defeated all the disciples of the Slaughter Palace of the previous generation and the successor of the God Explosion Secret Technique … With a pouch of primordial spirit in his hand, almost no one would dare to do anything to him … In less than a hundred years, this person has actually stepped into the Second Step and cultivated all the way to the Mid Ghost Profound Realm …"
"Just now, I even talked nonsense to him. Luckily, he did not hold it against me. Otherwise, with his ruthlessness that slaughtered hundreds of immortals without batting an eyelid, he would probably take my life …"
"I just took a trip to the gates of hell. What a close shave!"
Ning Fan did not care about the tremors that were caused in this place.
Whether he was a nobody or a world-shocking devil, they were all fake.
What he wanted was a substantial increase in his cultivation base. Only then could he protect himself in this cultivation world which was filled with killing intent at every step.
After returning to the Human Tomb, Ning Fan took out the Six Star Blood Devil Relic and swallowed it in one go. Then, his ancient devil incarnation appeared.
After consuming this relic, he completely broke through to the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Si Chen Realm!
An ancient devil aura force that was strong enough to wipe out any Early Ghost Profound Realm spread out from Ning Fan's body and filled the entire tomb palace.
The ancient devil realm had broken through to the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Si Chen Realm!
"With the current strength of my ancient devil body, my dual cultivation of body and essence and the Grand Five Elements Realm. Even if I don't use any of my trump cards, I can still kill people like Xu Nian!"
"If I can successfully cultivate the War God Transformation, my strength will certainly rise to another level! Now that the flames of war in my body have stabilized, I can return to the Luo Clan and consume the crystals to cultivate! "
