All the savage beasts in the ancient forest were wiped out by the little loli alone.
On a towering ancient tree in the depths of the forest, Ning Fan opened up three cave dwellings, one for each person.
Liu Yan was nurturing the Star Plate while the little loli was guarding Ning Fan. As for Ning Fan, he was wholeheartedly cultivating the War God Art.
Ning Fan's mind slowly merged into the ancient forest … The rotten leaves on the forest were thick and had accumulated for countless years.
Under these rotten leaves, one could occasionally find some skeletons of those who died in battle and some rusted magical treasures that had exhausted their spiritual power.
The ancient battle intent condensed in this forest without dispersing. Ning Fan closed his eyes. He could hear the cries of countless people who died unyieldingly.
Fight! Fight! Fight!
The golden spears and armored horses of the past could no longer be found … However, the battle intent in this place was immortal!
Ning Fan gained a deeper understanding of the War God Art … Battle intent. Battle intent. The word 'intent' was an undying will …
One day, two days, three days … After an unknown amount of time, Ning Fan's mind had completely merged with the battle intent of this place.
At this moment, he finally opened his eyes and began to use the Ardent Primordial Technique to condense the Ardent Primordial Crystal.
What he wanted to produce here was not Low Grade Ardent Primordial Crystal but Mid Grade!
Failure, failure, failure …
Pieces of Dao Crystals turned into powder in Ning Fan's hands. The difficulty of condensing Mid Grade Ardent Crystal was much higher than Low Grade Ardent Crystal.
One month passed and Ning Fan was still failing continuously.
Two months passed and Ning Fan had yet to condense even half a piece of Mid Grade Ardent Crystal.
Three months passed and Ning Fan was still failing. However, he seemed to have finally understood something.
The reason why he was still unable to condense a Mid Grade Ardent Crystal was because the battle intent here was not strong enough!
At this moment, Ning Fan walked out of the cave dwelling and used the Earth Escape Technique, sinking into the depths of the ancient forest.
The crust of the Ancient Savage Wilderness Region would change once every few hundred years.
The four heavens had been separated for hundreds of millions of years and had experienced four hundred realm wars. The earth's crust had shifted nearly a million times … The battlefield of the realm war had long been buried deep in the earth's crust.
The battle intent there was much stronger than on the surface. That place would definitely be able to condense Mid Grade Ardent Crystal!
Ning Fan dived all the way to the end of the underground. In this place, the intensity of the battle intent was almost enough to disturb Ning Fan's steady Dao Heart.
At this place, Ning Fan finally condensed his first piece of Mid-Grade Flame Elemental Crystal … The strength of a Mid-Grade Flame Elemental Crystal's battle intent was equivalent to the Supreme Grade Battle Crystal of the Luo Clan!
Ever since Battle King Luo Hou fell into a deep slumber, no one had been able to condense a top grade battle crystal!
Sensing the intense battle intent within the Mid-Grade Fire Elemental Crystals, Ning Fan smiled with satisfaction. In this world's core, he had been continuously condensing Mid-Grade Fire Elemental Crystals along with the remains of countless ancient cultivators.
For two whole years, Ning Fan had been condensing Mid Grade Fierce Elemental Crystals. In total, he had condensed nearly ten thousand pieces.
In the next eight years, Ning Fan returned to his abode on the ground. By refining the Mid Grade Fierce Elemental Crystals, the number of flames of war kept increasing.
Within eight years, the little loli had finished one-tenth of the lightning fragments in her hand. Then, she asked Ning Fan for another tenth.
During these eight years, apart from nurturing the Star Plate, Liu Yan actually had a slight resonance with the Star Plate. Her cultivation base improved tremendously and broke through to the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm.
After eight years, the number of his natal war flames had already reached one thousand two hundred!
As for the progress of his War Yin Yang Art, it had increased by one-twentieth during these eight years!
The Third Transformation of the War God Art required 999 natal war flames to break through.
Ning Fan's War God Art was already stuck at the bottleneck of breaking through to the Third Transformation. He needed a battle to break through the bottleneck of the War God Art!
The savage beasts in the surrounding millions of li * (500m per li) had already been wiped out by the bored little loli.
It had been ten years since Ning Fan came to the ancient forest … Ten years had passed and it was the first time he walked out of the ancient forest.
He left the ancient forest alone, leaving Liu Yan and the little loli in the abode for the time being.
As Ning Fan willed it, dark clouds immediately covered heaven and earth. It rained continuously and the curtain of rain gradually spread to the distance.
Ning Fan spread his spirit sense far away, searching for a savage beast that he could fight.
All of a sudden, Ning Fan's expression changed slightly. He kept the curtain of rain and immediately turned into a ray of golden light without any hesitation, flying towards a certain direction in the Barbarian Region.
He didn't expect that he would meet an old friend in the Ancient Savage Desolation Domain …
...
On a certain Black Swamp Swamp in the unoccupied Barbarian Region, there was a group of cultivators fighting and retreating.
There were a total of four cultivators in this group. Each of them had a cultivation base above the Du Zhen realm and wore a blood-red ghost mask on their heads.
These four people were the four ghost-masked assassins of the Slaughter Palace. This time, they had accepted the mission of collecting barbarian corpses from the palace and entered the Ancient Wild Region together.
Their mission was to collect more than a hundred barbarian corpses of the Du Zhen savage beasts.
Among the four of them, there were three Early Du Zhen savage beasts and one Mid Du Zhen savage beast. With the combined strength of the four of them, it was not difficult for them to kill some Early and Mid Du Zhen savage beasts. Therefore, collecting the barbarian corpses would not be too difficult.
The four of them moved stealthily. They usually looked for lone savage beasts to kill, so they had never encountered any danger.
This time, the four of them found two lone savage beasts and worked together to kill them. Then, they sealed the barbarian corpses and kept them.
However, what they did not expect was that one of the two savage beasts had a strange Nascent Soul hidden in its body.
According to the information they had collected in the past four days, there had never been a savage beast with a Nascent Soul or a Beast Core in its body.
Since they had obtained the Nascent Soul of a savage beast by chance, the four of them did not dare to neglect it. They sealed it and prepared to bring it back to the Slaughter Palace and offer it to the sect for research. Perhaps, it would be a great merit.
However, they did not expect that after they sealed the strange baby, they would attract the killing intent of all the savage beasts in the vicinity!
Behind the four of them, there were already more than twenty Du Zhen savage beasts. Four of them were chasing after the four of them. The number of savage beasts was still increasing!
"What exactly is that strange baby? How could it attract the killing intent of all the savage beasts in this place!"
The one with the highest cultivation base among the four of them was a Mid Du Zhen white-haired old man. His face was covered by a ghost mask and his facial features could not be seen clearly. However, from his firm gaze, one could tell that he was an unyielding old man.
"Senior Brother Yu … let's just get rid of that strange baby … There are too many savage beasts here. We can't afford to offend them …" A female cultivator with a ghost mask said.
She was clad in a blood-colored battle armor and was a body refinement cultivator with the surname Yue.
"Junior Sister Yue is right. It's better to get rid of that strange baby." Another middle-aged man, Du Zhen, said.
"I also think that we should get rid of that strange baby as soon as possible." The last one was Du Zhen. He was a tall and sturdy man. He had just broken through to the Du Zhen realm ten years ago, so his realm was not particularly stable yet.
"Alright, let's get rid of that strange baby!"
The old man surnamed Yu sighed slightly. Although he also wanted to bring this strange baby back to earn some merit, he knew that it was not wise to continue angering the savage beasts behind him.
Gritting his teeth, the old man surnamed Yu took out a sealed jade box and threw it behind him, hoping to appease the anger of the savage beasts by doing so.
The jade box fell to the ground, and a lifeless strange baby immediately fell to the ground. It was only the size of a palm, but it had two heads.
As soon as the savage beasts saw the strange baby falling to the ground, they immediately stopped and their eyes turned solemn.
One of the savage beasts swallowed the strange baby and wailed at the sky for a long time.
After a few breaths, all the savage beasts revealed their ferocious eyes and chased after the four of them again. Their killing intent was even stronger!
"This is troublesome … The strange baby has already been returned to these savage beasts, but they are still not willing to let us go."
The old man surnamed Yu's eyes turned solemn. Before he could come up with a countermeasure, a large number of savage beasts were attacking from other directions!
Looking at the savage beasts that were surging towards them like a tidal wave, the four ghost-masked assassins became nervous.
"Fight to the death!" The old man surnamed Yu's eyes turned sharp and spat out these two words.
The eyes of the other three also turned solemn. They knew that since the situation had developed to this stage, the only way to survive was to fight to the death and kill their way out of the encirclement.
Being surrounded by nearly seventy Du Zhen savage beasts, the four of them already had a slim chance of survival …
One after another, the savage beasts opened their huge mouths and black and red Barbaric Flash was condensing in their mouths …
Chi!
A whistling and sharp golden light rushed towards them without any reservation and suddenly appeared in the midst of the beast tide.
The golden light dispersed, revealing a silver-haired youth who was also wearing a ghost-mask. However, this youth's ghost-mask was different from the blood-red ghost-mask of the others. It was silver in color.
This person's eyes were scarlet like a calamity. With just a cold glance, all the savage beasts that were not afraid of the Heaven and Earth revealed an expression of fear.
They did not even dare to release the Barbaric Flash that was condensed in their mouths!
An invisible pressure was condensing on the silver-haired youth's body. That pressure was hard for others to sense. Only the savage beasts could feel it!
"Who is this person?! Just a glance is enough to subdue the group of barbarians! "The three ghost-masked assassins including the old man surnamed Yu were all shocked.
As for the cultivator surnamed Wu, his eyes were stunned. He actually felt a vague sense of familiarity from this silver-haired youth …
"Brother Wu, how have you been …" The silver-haired youth smiled faintly.
When this voice entered the ears of the cultivator surnamed Wu, his eyes were immediately filled with disbelief.
This cultivator surnamed Wu was Wu Chen who had a good relationship with Ning Fan!
The current appearance of Ning Fan with the ghost-mask and silver-haired was very different from his previous appearance. However, Wu Chen would never forget this voice for the rest of his life.
Others might not know, but he knew that this silver-haired youth was Ning Fan without a doubt!
The group of beasts was only shocked by Ning Fan for a moment. Following the roar of the savage beast that had swallowed the strange infant, all the savage beasts revealed ferocious eyes again. They swept away the fear in their hearts and released Barbaric Flash.
There were a total of seventy-five Du Zhen Savage Beasts. The one with the highest cultivation base had even reached the Late Du Zhen Savage Beast.
When the seventy-five Barbaric Flashes fell, Wu Chen and the others had goosebumps. They had never felt that death was so close to them.
Even Ning Fan's eyes revealed a hint of seriousness. Without saying anything, he summoned the Star Defying Devil Armor and uttered the word 'Defying'.
At this moment, the circulation of the Great Dao seemed to have gained a slight advantage because of the power of the Star Defying Devil Armor.
Countless Barbaric Flashes that were rushing towards the four of them changed their direction at this moment and returned to the savage beasts that had released the Barbaric Flash.
This scene was beyond the understanding of Wu Chen and the others. After taking a closer look, they realized that Ning Fan was wearing the legendary Star Defying Devil Armor!
"Star Defying Devil Armor! It's a priceless treasure! "The Du Zhen female cultivator exclaimed. The others were also shocked.
Even Wu Chen who was the most familiar with Ning Fan had a look of horror on his face.
After all the Barbaric Flashes bounced back, miserable shrieks were immediately heard from all directions.
Six savage beasts with slightly lower cultivation base were directly killed by the bounced Barbaric Flashes while the remaining sixty-nine savage beasts were more or less injured.
Far away from them, the qi of seven Void Shedding Savage Beasts were crazily approaching them.
Ning Fan's eyes immediately turned solemn … Void Shedding Savage Beasts usually stayed in their lair to cultivate. How could seven of them appear at the same time today …
With the participation of the Void Shedding Savage Beasts, Ning Fan did not continue to fight with them. He formed hand seals with his ten fingers and released purple mist that filled the sky. Then, he brought Wu Chen and the others and quietly escaped from the purple mist.
When the purple mist dispersed and the Void Shedding Savage Beasts arrived, Ning Fan and the others were nowhere to be seen.
Between Heaven and Earth, countless drizzles fell from the sky …
"Those foreign races have escaped! Damn it! "
A Mid Void Shedding Dragon-Elephant Savage Beast let out an angry roar. It wanted to chase after Ning Fan and the others but it couldn't find them …
It was best at tracking the qi of its target. However, as the drizzles fell, all of its qi was drowned in the rain …
...
In a desolate valley, Ning Fan, Wu Chen and the others appeared one after another. They had escaped the pursuit of the group of beasts.
Since there were seven more Void Shedding Savage Beasts joining the battle, Ning Fan did not continue fighting them. He was afraid that Wu Chen and the others were not strong enough and would die under the attacks of the group of beasts.
If he was alone, he wouldn't mind fighting against the group of beasts.
However, what surprised him was that the Void Shedding Savage Beasts would act abnormally and run out of their lair …
"We can't thank you enough for saving us!" Old Man Yu and the other two ghost-masked assassins cupped their fists and thanked Ning Fan.
They knew that if it wasn't for Ning Fan, they would have most likely died under the attacks of the group of beasts …
Wu Chen also cupped his fists and thanked Ning Fan, but he did not reveal Ning Fan's identity … He naturally understood that Ning Fan was wearing the ghost mask to hide his identity.
His identity was too sensitive to the cultivators of the Eastern Heaven.
"It's nothing. It's not worth mentioning …"
Ning Fan shifted his gaze to Wu Chen and asked again.
"It has been many years since we last met. I didn't expect Brother Wu to have already succeeded in crossing to the True Enlightenment Realm. However, why did Brother Wu come to the Ancient Wild Region and why did you attract so many murderous tribulations? "
Ning Fan had already seen Wu Chen's ghost mask before. Thus, he naturally recognized him.
As soon as they heard that Ning Fan knew Wu Chen, the three ghost-masked assassins were stunned but they did not ask anything.
Wu Chen had already recovered from the initial shock. He was naturally happy to reunite with Ning Fan in the Ancient Wild Region. However, when he recalled how Ning Fan saved him, he felt a little sad …
There were thousands of things he wanted to talk to Ning Fan about but it was not the right place.
"* Sigh * It's a long story … We are now staying in a barbarian city. It won't be too late to talk about it when we arrive there."
"Going to a barbarian city, huh … Alright …"
Ning Fan followed Wu Chen and the others and flew towards a barbarian city nearby.
The barbarian city was where the humanoid beasts lived.
The humanoid beasts did not have any cultivation base. Be it their appearance or personality, they were no different from mortals.
The barbarian city that Wu Chen and the others were staying in was called Yue Clan City.
When they were still a few li * (500m per li) away from the city, Wu Chen and the others landed on the ground. They took off their ghost masks and retracted all of their baleful qi, entering the city like mortals.
Even though Ning Fan did not take off his ghost mask, he had also retracted all of his qi. From his appearance, no one could tell that he was any different from a mortal.
The barbarian city was not large. There were only a few thousand barbarians living in it. There were ancient statues on all four sides of the city.
Those statues were called barbarian statues. They had the ability to deter the barbarian beasts, preventing them from attacking the city.
Without the protection of the barbarian statues, any of the barbarian beasts would be able to massacre the entire barbarian city.
"Is this the barbarian city where the barbarians live …?"
Ning Fan followed behind Wu Chen and the others. They walked along the long bluestone street. He looked at the stalls of fruits and snacks along the street thoughtfully.
This place was obviously a market for mortals …
Occasionally, there were a few barbarian girls who were on a spring outing. They walked past Ning Fan and the others, leaving a faint fragrance behind.
There were also Jianghu cultivators and merchants who came and went in the city.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were in the Ancient Wild Region, Ning Fan would never think that these living beings who were no different from mortals were barbarians who possessed the ability to transform into barbarians …
Along the way, they arrived at a tavern. Old Man Yu and the others tactfully bade farewell, leaving Ning Fan and Wu Chen alone. They drank wine and chatted with each other.
No one knew that Ning Fan and Wu Chen were cultivators of a different race.
The two of them sat in the tavern. They looked very ordinary, just like ordinary Jianghu cultivators.
In a remote corner, there was no one to disturb the two of them.
After a while, Ning Fan found out that Wu Chen had already succeeded in crossing to the True Realm fifteen years ago. This time, he entered the Ancient Wild Region to carry out a mission to collect barbarian corpses.
The reason why they were chased by the barbarian beasts and even attracted the attention of the Void Abandoning Barbarian Beasts was actually because of a strange infant …
"If it wasn't for Brother Ning, I would have most likely died in the mouths of the barbarian beasts … I can't thank you enough! However, I didn't expect Brother Ning to have such fame and strength after not seeing you for several decades. It really makes me feel ashamed … Haha! Bottoms up! "
Wu Chen burst into laughter. He opened the clay seal of the wine jar and immediately drank to his heart's content.
Ning Fan had countless beauties in his life but he didn't have many good friends. Wu Chen was one of them. He was very happy to meet Wu Chen in the Ancient Wild Region.
While they were drinking, Ning Fan gradually told Wu Chen about his experiences along the way.
When Wu Chen heard that Ning Fan had yet to cross to the True Realm, he found it very unbelievable.
"I didn't expect the dignified Rain Immortal Monarch to have yet to cross to the True Realm … I initially thought that Brother Ning had suppressed his cultivation base during the tomb competition. It seems like I'm wrong … I didn't expect Brother Ning to win the first place in the tomb competition with a Ghost Profound Realm cultivation base … Amazing! I rarely admire people in my life, but I have no choice but to admire Brother Ning! In the past … Haha … "
Wu Chen could not help but recall the scene when he first met Ning Fan.
At that time, he was still comprehending the True Realm in the Rain World and Ning Fan was just a Void Refinement Realm cultivator …
After a hundred years, he finally broke through to the True Realm while Ning Fan had been catching up to him and was about to cross to the True Realm as well. Moreover, Ning Fan's strength was far above him …
"I'm Wu Chen, the Wu who has no respect for the law, the Chen who slaughters people and slaughters cities!"
"Brother Ning must be comprehending the True Realm, but what I see isn't the True Realm …"
The past was still vivid in his mind. Ning Fan smiled knowingly. He held a wine jar with one hand and drank to his heart's content.
Wu Chen then told Ning Fan about some major events in the Eastern Heaven in recent years.
For example, the Extreme Lightning Palace had been frantically searching for someone in the Eastern Heaven for the past ten years. No one knew who they were looking for.
Another example was that the Domain Gate of the Extreme Dan Saint Region had been repaired smoothly. It was confirmed that the Saint Region could be reopened in about ninety years.
However, this time, due to the reinforcement of the Domain Gate, even Du Zhen cultivators could enter …
However, there was a drawback. The price of reinforcing the Domain Gate was that the Extreme Dan Saint Region could no longer be opened …
"Oh? Du Zhen can also enter … I was worried that I wouldn't be able to enter after breaking through to the Heavenly Devil Realm … "Ning Fan said with slight surprise.
"Hehe. As expected, Brother Ning entered the Extreme Dan Saint Region for the sake of the first disciple of the Medicine Sect … Haha. Brother Ning is indeed a distinguished man!"
"Speaking of which, it's rare for Brother Ning to enter the Ancient Savage Domain. Why don't you cross the True Realm here? The Barbarian City here is no different from the mortal world. It's very suitable to be a place to attain the True Realm. Moreover, there are many 'Dao-Seeking Fruits' in this Ancient Savage Domain. Consuming them can slightly increase the success rate of crossing the True Realm … It's not easy to cross the Nine Crossing True Bridges. It's good to increase the success rate."
Wu Chen's words fell into Ning Fan's ears. His eyes flickered slightly, but he shook his head with a smile.
Ning Fan's priority was to cultivate the Fourth Transformation of his combat arts. As for the matter of crossing the True Realm, he could put it aside for now.
"Our team's mission is to collect one hundred Barbarian Corpses of True Realm. Now, we have collected more than forty corpses. I think it will take another seven to eight years to complete the collection and leave the Ancient Savage Domain … If it wasn't for Brother Ning's timely arrival, I would have most likely died in the mouths of those wild beasts … It's really f * cking dangerous!" Wu Chen said with a sigh.
"Do you need my help in collecting the Barbarian Corpses?"
Ning Fan was indebted to Wu Chen. Naturally, he wouldn't mind helping Wu Chen.
"Haha. No need … I still want to use this battle to stabilize my cultivation base. If Brother Ning intervenes in this matter, I'm afraid it will only take you a few days to gather all the Barbarian Corpses. Then, it will be meaningless." Wu Chen laughed and declined Ning Fan's good intention.
"You want to stabilize your True Realm …?"
Ning Fan thought for a moment and took out a storage pouch and handed it to Wu Chen.
Wu Chen took the storage pouch and looked inside. His eyes immediately widened and revealed a serious expression. Then, he pushed the storage pouch back to Ning Fan.
"These Dao Fruits are too many and too precious. Wu Chen can't accept them!"
"When I took those things from you in the past, I didn't treat you politely … Just accept it." Ning Fan smiled disapprovingly.
Wu Chen was stunned for a moment. Then, he burst into laughter and accepted the storage pouch without any pretense.
The feast lasted for half a day. Only then did Ning Fan bid farewell and left.
Wu Chen still had the mission to hunt wild beasts and he also had the mission to cultivate the War God Art. Both of them couldn't be together for a long time.
"I wonder when will be the next time we meet …" Wu Chen sat alone in the wine shop and sighed.
...
Ning Fan left the Yue Clan City and headed back to the Black Swamp Swamp.
Due to the appearance of the Shedding Space Barbarian Beast, Ning Fan did not use his full strength in the battle and he had yet to break through the bottleneck of his War God Art.
The reason why he returned was to break through the bottleneck of his battle art. The second reason was to search for the so-called strange infant …
He was somewhat bothered by the strange infant that could attract the Shedding Space Barbarian Beast to hunt him down …
