The qi of this collapsed ancient god's giant shadow was clearly comparable to the Peak Crossing Truth Realm which was far beyond Ning Fan. However, under Ning Fan's grasp, it completely collapsed without any resistance.
Many of the old monsters were inwardly shocked. They speculated that Ning Fan must have used some kind of special technique which allowed him to break the ancient god's giant shadow so easily.
However, no one was able to see through it.
I can't see through it … If Ning Fan was still a One-Orifice Ancient God, some of them would be able to see through his Ancient God Heart Force in front of countless old monsters.
However, the current Ning Fan was already a Three Apertures Ancient God. His Ancient God Heart Force had already turned into a pool of clear water, leaving no trace to be traced.
Unless they were also three-apertured ancient gods, no one would be able to see through Ning Fan's identity!
Chen Xuan's knuckles cracked, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
I can't kill him … Why can't I kill him? How could a mere Spirit Xuan disciple be able to resist the jade slip that he had personally refined?
"All of you, attack together!"
Chen Xuan's eyes were ferocious, like a ferocious beast. With a wave of his hand, he tossed the last two tomb keepers of the Chen Family onto the arena.
Chen Xuan seemed to have fallen into madness. Even if he had to violate the rules of the tomb competition, he still wanted to kill Ning Fan!
Unfortunately, before the two tomb guardians of the Chen Clan could stabilize their footing, Ning Fan had already waved his hand and summoned the Memory Severing Dao Sword. The sword light was dreamy and illusory.
108,000 Illusory Sword Auras immediately swept out, forming a sword formation. The two tomb keepers of the Chen Family only had time to let out a scream before they fell under the heavy sword shadows.
Their storage pouches along with the jade slips that they had fallen into Ning Fan's hands.
At this point, all five tomb keepers of the Chen Clan, including Chen Xiao, had fallen in Ning Fans hands!
"Damn it! Damn it! "
Chen Xuan was almost blinded by hatred. With a wave of his hand, he wanted to forcefully break through the Sixth Ancestor of the Luo Clan who was standing in front of him. He swore that he would personally take Ning Fan down.
But before he could take that step, on the northern platform, a person's eyes suddenly darkened and lightning flashed.
In the next instant, a Dao Sense that was swift and fierce like lightning swept towards Chen Xuan.
There was no way he could defend himself. Chen Xuan, who was at the initial stage of Void Rendition, was sent flying by this will, spewing blood. He landed heavily on the ground, destroying a row of jade seats behind him.
Countless gazes from the four high platforms immediately turned towards a certain person on the north platform.
The one who attacked was the Eighth Elder, Lei Jinshi!
"Eighth Elder … Xiao 'er followed your order to deal with the Luo Family. How could you ignore his death? How can you … "Chen Xuan was interrupted by Lei Jinshi's cold shout before he could finish.
"Enough! Chen Xuan, don't overdo it! "
At this moment, Lei Jinshi's gaze was extremely dark. Today, the Chen Family could be said to have thrown away all of his face.
"If I want to kill this kid, I can do it at any time! If you violate the rules of the tomb competition again, this old man will turn you into the Thunder Spirit's food! "This sentence was Lei Jinshi's voice transmission to Chen Xuan.
When he heard this, Chen Xuan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. His body shivered, but he calmed down.
When he recalled what he had done, he suddenly felt a trace of lingering fear.
All five tomb guardians of the Chen Family, including Chen Xiao, had violated the rules of the tomb competition … This matter had probably angered everyone. Even Lei Jinshi could not tolerate it …
"You will have plenty of chances in the second round!" Lei Jinshi said again.
When he heard this, Chen Xuan's eyes lit up and the corner of his mouth curved into a sinister smile.
He narrowed his old eyes and glanced at the battle arena. Then, he snorted coldly and waved his hand to rebuild the jade seat that had been destroyed.
After killing all the tomb guardians of the Chen Family, the cold light in Ning Fan's eyes diminished slightly. He scanned the two offensive jade slips in his hand with his spirit sense. After a moment of silence, he pointed his finger at the two jade slips and swallowed them into his stomach.
Zhao Mengde, who was the host of the grand competition, ordered people to clean up the corpses on the battle arena and repair it. Then, he took out the name list and announced.
"The tomb guardian of the Luo Family, Ning Fan, has defeated the five tomb guardians of the Chen Family in a row. He will advance to the second round after winning another five matches. "
"Tomb guardians of the Thousand Mountains Sect, step forward!"
Following Zhao Mengde's order, two rays of light immediately flew to the outskirts of the battle arena from the high platform on the west side.
The Thousand Mountains Sect was a Seventh Grade Sect and it only had two tomb guardians.
One of them was at the Late Ghost Profound Realm while the other was at the Peak Ghost Profound Realm.
Both of them stood outside the battle arena. They actually did not dare to enter the arena. They looked at Ning Fan with respect. After letting out a long sigh, they cupped their fists at Zhao Mengde at the same time.
"He Ming (He Fang) of the Thousand Mountains Sect knows that I'm not a match for Fellow Daoist Ning. I'm willing to admit defeat!"
As soon as they finished speaking, their figures flashed and flew back to their seats.
"Admit defeat … Ning Fan of the Luo Family, seven victories! Tomb guardians of the Daofa Sect, step forward! "Zhao Mengde said with a frown.
The Daofa Sect was still a Seventh Grade Sect. There were also only two tomb guardians in the sect.
These two tomb guardians were just at the Peak Mortal Profound Realm. They swallowed their saliva and directly admitted defeat without flying to the battle arena.
Without any suspense, Ning Fan obtained his ninth victory.
As long as he won another match, he would advance to the second round.
"It seems like this Devil Lord Thousand Autumns is definitely going to advance to the second round. Even though he might have used a trick to break the Ancient God Giant Shadow of the Chen Clan, the palm strike he used to kill Chen Xiao shows his true strength. With just that palm strike, he has the strength to fight against a Mid True Crossing Realm expert. It won't be difficult for him to win another match and advance to the next round! "
Just as many old monsters made up their minds, their expressions changed slightly at the next moment.
After all, these old monsters did not expect the Shadow Binding Sect to participate in the next match.
"Tomb guardians of the Shadow Binding Sect, step forward!"
As soon as Zhao Mengde's voice fell, many old monsters on the four high platforms immediately became spirited.
On the southern platform, six black shadows immediately flew out and landed outside the battle arena. They were the six tomb guardians of the Shadow Binding Sect.
The Shadow Binding Sect was originally just an Eighth Grade Sect and they only had four quotas. However, just before the grave competition, their sect master broke through the shackles of the Peak Shedding Void Realm and advanced to the Thought Fragmentation Realm. Thus, the Shadow Binding Sect was promoted to a Ninth Grade Sect.
The six tomb keepers of the Shadow Binding Sect didn't have weak auras. Four of them were at the peak of the Ghost Profound Realm, while the other two were at Du Zhen. They were the famous duo of the Qin Family in the Eastern Sea Star Region.
His younger brother, Qin Hong, had an Early True Crossing Realm cultivation base. He had met Ning Fan once in the Heavenly Eye Star. His physical body was once destroyed by Jun Changdong. After seizing his body and cultivating again, his cultivation base had declined significantly.
His elder brother, Qin Kuang, was ranked fourth in the last tomb competition. He was already at the intermediate stage of the Crossing Truth Realm and had won the title of 'Shadow Immortal Monarch'.
Qin Hong and the other four tomb keepers of the Shadow Binding Sect didn't move.
Only Qin Lian's figure flashed and landed at the center of the battle arena. His eyes were burning with the flames of battle as he looked at Ning Fan.
Ning Fans tenth grave battle was against Qin Kuang who was at the intermediate Du Zhen realm!
Those old monsters who were certain that Ning Fan would win were now uncertain again.
Qin Kuang could also kill Chen Xiao with a single palm strike. The battle between Ning Fan and Qin Kuang would not be easy to determine the victor.
"It's him …"
Ning Fan's gaze swept across Qin Hong who was standing outside the battlefield and his brows knitted together.
That day in the Heavenly Eye Star Trading Pavilion, Qin Hong tried to borrow Ning Fan's body and was shocked by Ning Fan.
Ning Fan's eyes turned solemn when he glanced at Qin Kuang who was standing on the battle arena.
Qin Kuang looked very similar to Qin Hong. They were both skinny like zombies. Their faces were pale and bloodless and they both wore black robes.
The only difference between him and Qin Hong was that he had a mole below his left eye. His eyes looked more feminine and demonic.
He was a Mid True Crossing Realm cultivator. A cultivator at this level could not be killed by the Heaven Holding Seal with a single palm strike.
Moreover, there was a cold qi lingering around his body. That coldness actually gave Ning Fan a sense of danger.
"I have heard Qin Hong mention you before. Now that I have seen you with my own eyes, I know that he did not lie. You do have the strength to make Lord Changdong's eyes … However, you are not my opponent!"
Qin Kuang grinned, revealing his white teeth. His eyes were filled with arrogance.
Ning Fan's eyes narrowed slightly and replied indifferently, "We will only know whether I'm a match or not after we fight!"
"Hehe. I will make you accept your defeat wholeheartedly. Dao Binding, Chaotic Shadow Technique! "
Qin Kuang's eyes turned sharp. He lifted his foot and stomped on the ground. The ground of the entire battle arena immediately wriggled in a strange manner.
At the next moment, tens of thousands of pitch-black chains suddenly flew out from the ground beneath Ning Fan's feet, sealing off all of his escape routes. Then, they shot towards Ning Fan who was standing at the center of the arena.
Those chains were all formed by the Shadow Technique. They were not afraid of the five elemental abilities or attacks.
Ning Fan waved his hand and the Memory Severing Dao Sword appeared in his hand. He raised his hand and swung the sword. Immediately, one hundred and eight thousand illusory sword shadows shot out in all directions.
The sword light directly penetrated the chains when it struck them. It could not stop the shadow chains from advancing at all.
At the next moment, several shadow chains arrived at Ning Fan's body and tied him up like a dumpling.
As for the remaining shadow chains, they coiled into a gigantic shadow cocoon like silk, trapping Ning Fan inside.
"You've lost!"
The corner of Qin Kuang's mouth curled upwards. Immediately, many exclamations came from the four high platforms.
"Devil Lord Qian Qiu has been trapped in the shadow cocoon. He has lost …"
Once the Shadow Binding Sect's Chaotic Shadow Technique binds a cultivator, it would immediately form a seal, sealing off all of that cultivator's magic power.
This technique was formless and it could only restrain magic power. If a cultivator has a strong physical body, it would not be able to do so.
"Unless this Ning Fan's physical body is strong enough, otherwise …" Before Qin Kuang finished muttering to himself, his eyes suddenly widened.
Inside the shadow cocoon, he saw waves of essence qi fluctuating wildly.
At the next moment, a destructive explosive wave immediately burst out from within the shadow cocoon. The gigantic cocoon that was formed by tens of thousands of shadow chains was blown into countless afterimages at this moment.
Ning Fan walked out from the afterimages that filled the sky. Countless devil talismans and runes swam around his body.
His body gave off an earth-shattering ancient devil aura force.
Qin Kuang's expression changed. He stomped on the ground again and tens of thousands of shadow chains flew out from the ground.
However, Ning Fan suddenly let out a roar. His devil roar formed countless storms that immediately spread in all directions, directly destroying all the shadow chains.
Immediately, many old monsters on the four high platforms exclaimed in surprise.
"It's actually a Heavenly Devil! Among the Pseudo Ancient Devil Realm cultivators, there aren't many who could cultivate their physical bodies to the Heavenly Devil Realm. "
"Heavenly Devil! Since this young man is a Heavenly Devil, we can't treat him as a Profound Ghost Realm cultivator … Heavenly Devils are on the same level as Du Zhen! "
Qin Kuang's eyes widened. He naturally did not expect that Ning Fan's physical body would be this strong.
When he looked at Ning Fan again, his eyes became even more solemn. He suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the sky. "Shadow Devil Spear, appear!"
Countless black rays of light formed a vortex in the sky. A one hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) long devil spear flew out from the vortex. As soon as it appeared, it immediately stabbed at Ning Fan.
This spear was Qin Kuang's Dao Weapon!
Ning Fan moved slightly to avoid the sudden attack of the spear light, allowing the devil spear to pierce the ground.
Layer after layer of earth immediately collapsed, collapsing, and there were even strange black shadow flames burning.
"Shadow Splitting!"
Qin Kuang changed his hand seal. The devil spear immediately split into two and then into four. Four shadows of the spear immediately stabbed at Ning Fan from four directions.
"This Dao Weapon isn't weak …"
Ning Fan's eyes turned solemn. He lifted the Memory Severing Dao Sword and activated the sword light. The body of the sword which was originally black golden immediately gave off faint purple qi.
As he moved his sword seal, the body of the sword immediately shot out four rays of purple sword light, clashing with the four shadows of the spear.
The power of a Dao Weapon was directly related to the cultivation base of a cultivator.
In terms of magic power, Ning Fan was weaker than Qin Kuang. The ordinary sword light of the Memory Severing Dao Sword should also be slightly weaker than the spear light.
However, these four rays of purple sword light were an exception!
At the moment when the spear and the sword collided, the four shadows of the spear were immediately shattered by the sword light. Qin Kuang's Dao Weapon was directly destroyed by Ning Fan!
The four rays of purple sword light did not slow down at all. Instead, they continued to slash at Qin Kuang.
Qin Kuang stared at the four rays of purple sword light in disbelief. With a flash, he disappeared from his original spot.
The four rays of purple sword light followed closely behind Qin Kuang and disappeared in a flash. At the next moment, somewhere in the vast sky where there was no one, the space suddenly collapsed and the sword light exploded.
As for Qin Kuang, he fell from that space. The four sword wounds on his body were shocking to the eyes.
The Dao Weapon of Qin Kuang who was at the Mid Crossing Truth Realm was destroyed by Ning Fan and he was even injured by Ning Fan's sword!
"Heavenly Dao Purple Qi! There's no mistake! Those four rays of purple sword light were nurtured by the Heavenly Dao Purple Qi! "
"If I'm not mistaken, this Devil Lord Thousand Autumns actually used four rays of purple qi to nurture his Dao Weapon!"
Exclamations of surprise could be heard from all four high platforms. Even She Kong and Old Monster Sui Nian were staring at the Dao Weapon in Ning Fan's hand with fiery eyes.
Using four rays of purple qi to nurture a Dao Weapon. Such a generous act made countless old monsters at the scene feel shocked and envious.
On the seats of the Ghost Weapon Sect, Old Ancestor Ghost Soldier felt his heart aching. The Heavenly Dao Purple Qi that Ning Fan used to nurture his Dao Weapon was taken from him …
However, when he thought of Ning Fan's powerful background, his expression became relieved. It was worth it to be able to win over a big shot of a secret race.
At the moment, Li Xiao Xiao's small hands were trembling. She could barely hold the Eight Treasures Cake in her hand.
She knew that a trace of Heavenly Dao Purple Qi was worth three hundred billion Dao Crystals. Moreover, it was usually priceless.
Four traces of purple qi … That's … Ah! She could no longer count it. It's so much money!
Ning Fan, on the other hand, immediately smiled with satisfaction when he saw that he was able to injure Qin Kuang who was at the Mid Crossing Truth Realm.
It was worth it for him to purposely use the Heavenly Dao Purple Qi to nurture his Dao Weapon before coming to the tomb competition.
"Heavenly Devil Physical Body, Purple Qi Dao Weapon …"
Qin Kuang stood in the sky and stared at the Memory Severing Dao Sword in Ning Fan's hand.
He could feel a great sense of danger from this Dao Weapon.
With a wave of his hand, the devil spear reappeared. Qin Kuang held the devil spear upside down. His eyes narrowed and he suddenly activated a secret technique of the Shadow Binding Sect.
Countless strange shadow technique runes immediately appeared on the surface of the devil spear, increasing the power of the Dao Weapon by about five percent.
At the moment when the runes attached to the devil spear, Qin Kuang dashed down and swung the devil spear horizontally, clashing with Ning Fan.
The spear and the sword clashed. This time, the devil spear was not much weaker than the Memory Severing Dao Sword but it was still slightly weaker.
After more than ten rounds, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the devil spear. In the end, it collapsed once again.
When the devil spear collapsed this time, there were four sword wounds on Qin Kuang's chest. Judging from the current situation, he no longer had a high chance of winning. He was almost being suppressed by Ning Fan.
"I initially wanted to save my trump card for the last time to compete with Jun Zhangdong. Now, it seems like I have no choice but to use it here."
A wave of cold qi suddenly spread out from Qin Kuang's fingers.
Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. It was this cold qi that gave him a sense of danger.
As Qin Kuang changed his hand seal, the ground at the edge of the battle arena suddenly cracked and eight giant shadow doors rose from the ground.
"Open the door. Door of Rest. Door of Life … Open!"
As Qin Kuang changed his hand seal, three of the eight giant doors immediately opened. Three ten zhang * tall shadow devils walked out from them.
Each of the shadow devils was at the Early Crossing Truth Realm.
"Door of Stop. Door of View … Open!"
Another two giant doors appeared. This time, the two shadow devils that walked out of them were actually at the Mid Crossing Truth Realm!
"It's the long-lost Eight Gates of Devil Shadow Technique of the Shadow Binding Sect! Did this Qin Kuang succeed in cultivating it?! "
"Unfortunately, he can only open five gates. If he could open the last three ominous gates, he would be able to summon a Late Crossing Truth Shadow Devil to fight against him!"
There were discussions in the surroundings, but none of the two people on the battle arena were listening to them.
Qin Kuang had already reached his limit by forcibly opening five gates. How could he have the spare energy to be distracted?
As he raised his hand and pointed at Ning Fan, the five shadow devils immediately besieged him.
Then, he held the devil spear upside down and joined the team that besieged Ning Fan.
With three Early Crossing Truth Realm and three Mid Crossing Truth Realm experts besieging Ning Fan, unless Ning Fan's strength was comparable to a Late Crossing Truth Realm expert, he would definitely be defeated.
"This kid is going to lose … Although his palm seal was strong, it was obviously not enough to deal with the siege of six Crossing Truths. After all, there are three Mid Crossing Truths Realm experts among the six Crossing Truths Realm experts … Unless he uses the Spirit Blast Technique, it will be difficult for him to win! Unfortunately, the rules of the tomb competition forbids the use of this kind of divine ability. He can only fight with his own strength … If he can't use the Spirit Blast Technique, he will definitely lose. "
Elder Lu, who was standing beside the Little Demoness, shook his head slightly, as if he was sure that Ning Fan would lose.
The Little Demoness smiled and said disapprovingly, "He hasn't used his full strength. How can Elder Lu be so sure that he will lose?"
"Haven't used his full strength? Hehe, Miss must be joking. Is that palm seal not considered his full strength? Heavenly Devil Body and Purple Qi Dao Weapon not considered his full strength? "
"It's not! He is not the kind of person who will use all his trump cards at the beginning. He will not lose this battle. His eyes are still very calm. "The Little Demoness said with certainty.
"Hehe, Miss, why don't you make a bet with me? If this kid can really defeat Qin Kuang, I am willing to leave for ten days and give Miss ten days of freedom. If this kid loses, Miss must follow me to the Sect Pavilion willingly and swallow the Void Fruit again to cultivate to the limit of Void Poison. We can't delay any longer … "
"You want me to eat the Void Fruit again …" The Little Demoness smiled bitterly.
"This is your destiny. You can't disobey it. The Void Fruit can greatly improve your cultivation method, and at the same time, it can purify your sacrificial body. Even if you don't make this bet with me today, you will have to eat the Void Fruit again within ten years … "
"No need to say more. I will make this bet! I believe in him. He won't lose. Nothing could be better than to earn ten days of freedom. "
Having said that, the Little Demoness didn't say anything else. She just looked at the battle stage with a smile. She believed that Ning Fan would win. Just by looking at Ning Fan's eyes, she knew that Ning Fan had put in a lot of effort.
Unknowingly, her understanding of Ning Fan seemed to be deep in her bones.
Elder Lu, on the other hand, didn't believe that Ning Fan would win. At this stage, no one would think that Ning Fan still had a chance of winning.
Currently, Ning Fan had already activated the First Transformation of the War God Art to strengthen his Heavenly Devil Body. Even so, he could only protect himself under the siege of six Du Zhen experts.
After all, he wasn't a late Du Zhen expert. He didn't have the ability to fight six people at once.
After being repelled by Qin Kuang's long spear again, Ning Fan finally sighed.
He had to admit that with his current cultivation base, he couldn't defeat Qin Kuang without using his trump cards.
His eyes suddenly revealed an indifferent expression that was as indifferent as the Dao. All of a sudden, a chilly autumn wind blew across heaven and earth.
Ning Fan took half a step back and steadied himself. Finally, he raised his finger and pointed at Qin Kuang.
At the moment when his finger touched the ground, a strange scene of tens of thousands of leaves fluttering in the sky suddenly appeared.
A wave of lonely and desolate Daoist Rhyme swept through the entire arena in an instant!
The autumn wind was formed by Ning Fan's Dao Sense.
The autumn leaves were formed by Ning Fan's Devil Sense.
When the Dao rises, the devil disappears.
When the wind rises, the leaves disappear!
All the sounds in heaven and earth seemed to have disappeared in an instant, leaving only the sound of the wind.
Even though the power of the Dao Sense spread out, the tens of thousands of leaves in the sky turned into ashes at this moment!
"The west wind is like the Dao. The death of cultivators is like the leaves. In my opinion, all of you are like the leaves … When the wind rises, the leaves disappear! "
Ning Fan's voice was suddenly mixed with the autumn wind and spread across heaven and earth.
The autumn wind had fused with the Dao Sense and rolled up the ashes of the tens of thousands of leaves. All of a sudden, it became stern, desolate and fierce.
In just an instant, the autumn wind blew across the entire battle stage. The invisible power of the Dao Sense shook towards Qin Kuang and the other Shadow Devils, immediately pushing them back one hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang).
As the autumn wind approached him, a feeling of impending death immediately rose in Qin Kuang's heart, causing him to be so frightened that his soul almost left his body.
He suddenly had an illusion. In Ning Fan's eyes, he was like a falling leaf that was about to fall and turn into dust, turning into ashes!
"No … I can't resist it!"
Without any hesitation, Qin Kuang directly turned into a shadow and fled out of the battle stage in a frenzy.
Ning Fan only glanced at Qin Kuang for a brief moment. He did not kill him.
As Ning Fan's Dao Sense moved, the five Shadow Devils on the stage immediately began to turn into ashes.
The first to turn into ashes were the three Early Truth Crossing Realm Shadow Devils. They only lasted for half a breath of time in the autumn wind before falling!
As for the two Mid Truth Crossing Realm Shadow Devils, they only lasted for three breaths of time in the autumn wind before turning into ashes.
The West Wind Technique directly killed five Mid Truth Crossing Realm Shadow Devils, including two Mid Truth Crossing Realm Shadow Devils!
Activating the West Wind Technique to such an extent had consumed almost ninety percent of Ning Fan's magic power!
Dense baleful qi gushed out from his body and swept across the high platforms in all directions!
Countless old monsters stood up and stared at Ning Fan who was standing at the center of the battle stage in disbelief!
Even Broken Thoughts Old Monster wore a shocked expression and looked at Ning Fan in disbelief.
Chen Xuan's eyes widened, staring at the battle stage. He could not believe the scene in front of him at all.
His breathing became rapid. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said.
"It's the Dao Sense Technique! How is this possible?! "
Wasn't the Broken Thoughts Old Monster the only one who could use the Dao Sense Technique?! How could this young man use it?!
