After a few breaths, Ning Fan's eyes regained their clarity. He kept the ghost mask and wiped away the black blood in his eyes. After that, he swept away the darkness on his primordial spirit and walked towards Commander Feng who was standing blankly in the sky.
A dignified Mid Shedding Void Realm old monster had his spirit consciousness erased by Ning Fan's illusion technique. One had to admit that Commander Feng was defeated miserably.
What Commander Feng was most proficient in was illusion techniques. However, Ning Fan was able to counter all of his illusions, causing his strength to be suppressed by 90%. In the end, he even lost because of his illusions …
There was still an arrow light hidden in his glabella. It was a divine ability given to him by Old Ancestor Poisonous Dragon. Its power was boundless. Even Ning Fan felt a trace of danger from it. Unfortunately, he hesitated and gave up the chance to use the arrow light. In the end, his spirit consciousness was erased by Ning Fan's dark illusion technique, turning him into an idiot …
"If this demon uses his trump card, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for me to defeat him …"
Ning Fan pointed his finger at Commander Feng's glabella. Immediately, an arrow light flew out from the latter's glabella.
It was an illusory arrow light that had developed some spirit consciousness. It was enough to kill a Late Shedding Void Realm cultivator with a single arrow!
The spirit consciousness in the arrow light was erased by Ning Fan. Then, he kept the arrow light in his glabella. If he encounters a Late Shedding Void Realm cultivator, he could kill him with a single arrow!
Commander Feng did not have time to use his trump card, allowing Ning Fan to take advantage of him.
"Soul Search!"
Ning Fan naturally would not show any mercy to Commander Feng. He directly used the Soul Search Technique.
After searching his soul, he killed Commander Feng and took his bag of holding and corpse blood.
There was nothing valuable in the storage pouch. There was only a map jade slip which caught Ning Fan's attention.
It was a map of the forty-two regions of the Wild Desolate Land. There were more than forty places marked in red. The barbarian valley where Ning Fan was at was marked.
From Commander Feng's memory, Ning Fan learned that the reason why Commander Feng came to this barbarian valley was because he was ordered by Old Ancestor Poisonous Dragon to unseal a remnant ancient formation near the valley …
According to Old Ancestor Poisonous Dragon, there were more than ten thousand such remnant formations in the Wild Desolate Ancient Region. Commander Feng was only responsible for unsealing more than forty of them. He also only knew the location of more than forty remnant formations.
"The demon race first raised the Nascent Soul Defying across the entire Wild Desolate Land. Then, they secretly unsealed the ancient formations. What exactly are they trying to do …?"
Ning Fan's heart was filled with a hint of uneasiness. He had a feeling that the True Dragon Clan's scheme was not as simple as it seemed.
He slowly closed his eyes, and his Divine Sense immediately turned into a fine rain that scattered in all directions.
The rain seeped into the land for millions of miles around Barbarian Valley, all the way down to the core of the earth.
Over there, Ning Fan saw an extremely well-hidden and incomplete ancient formation!
"This is … the Immemorial Dust Defying Formation!"
Ning Fan's eyes suddenly turned solemn. He had been trapped by the Immemorial Dust Defying Formation in the third illusion for many years. How could he not recognize this formation?!
It wasn't the complete Immemorial Dust Defying Formation, but a ten-thousandth of the formation diagram that had been broken from the Immemorial Dust Defying Formation.
This broken array was perfectly sealed by a powerful demonic spiritual force. The ones who sealed this array were at least ten great emperors of the Demon Race who had cultivated Spiritual Wheels!
The concealment effect of demon spiritual power was extremely powerful. Even Ning Fan who also cultivated demon spiritual power did not notice that there was such an incomplete formation in this barbarian valley after staying for quite a few days.
Activating the Immemorial Dust Defying Formation required the sacrifice of the Defying Infant …
Ning Fan's eyes became more and more solemn. He vaguely understood why the True Dragon Race wanted to raise the rebellious infant.
"The reason why the demon race raised the rebellious infant is probably to activate the ten thousand ancient formation that was sealed in the Ancient Wild Region! These incomplete formations were formed after the Immemorial Dust Defying Formation was broken. Because of that, they couldn't unleash the full power of the formation. Even if they activate the grand formation, they can't sacrifice the entire Ancient Wild Region … The destructive power of these incomplete formations has already become negligible … "
"The demon race didn't activate this formation to sacrifice the entire Ancient Wild Region. They have another purpose …"
"What exactly is the demon race's scheme …?"
The demon race's scheme made Ning Fan feel a little uneasy. He moved and dived into the ground, trying to destroy the incomplete formation.
Unfortunately, Ning Fan was actually unable to destroy the incomplete formation with his current cultivation base …
In order to destroy the incomplete formation, he would at least need to use an attack that was close to the Eternal Ancient Realm. Only an Eternal Ancient Realm old monster could do so.
"Hiss! The spiritual qi of heaven and earth here is really chaotic. A great battle must have taken place here not long ago! "
Suddenly, the exclamations of a few ladies resounded from the ground.
There were a few Life Immortal Realm human cultivators who happened to pass by this place and discovered the chaotic spiritual qi of heaven and earth here.
Ning Fan's eyes slightly moved under the ground.
"Hmm? These Life Immortal Realm cultivators actually have a trace of Eternal Ancient Qi on them. Could it be that they possess a life-saving divine ability that was given by a human Immortal Venerable …? "
"That day, when I was attacked by Old Ancestor Poisonous Dragon's seven arrows, a human Immortal Venerable helped me. Even though it didn't help much, it was still a gesture of goodwill … That human Immortal Venerable's qi is very similar to the qi of these Life Immortal Realm human cultivators …"
"Fine. With my current strength, I won't be able to destroy the incomplete formation. I'll just inform that human Immortal Venerable about this matter and let him take action to prevent the demon race's scheme. If the demon race's scheme causes a great calamity in the Ancient Wild Region, that Immortal Venerable who is responsible for guarding the place will most likely be blamed. If he knows that the demon race is plotting against us, he will certainly do his best to deal with it … Since he helped me once, I'll give him some information to help him guard against the demon race's scheme! "
On the ground, the few Life Immortal Realm cultivators sensed that the spiritual Qi in this place was chaotic. Naturally, they didn't dare to stay here for long, fearing that they would be involved in some trouble.
However, just as they were about to leave, a heavy pressure that was as heavy as a mountain suddenly pressed down on them from the ground. It made their breathing stagnate and they couldn't move. Their pretty faces turned pale.
"The one who could suppress us Life Immortal Realm cultivators with just the pressure alone must be Old Monster She Kong!"
"Not good! We've been targeted by Old Monster She Kong! What should we do?! "
"Damn it! Do we have no choice but to use the life-saving divine ability given by Lord Immortal Venerable … But even if we use it, we might not be able to save our lives … "
While the few women were in despair, a hoarse and old voice suddenly resounded in their ears. It was so faint that they couldn't sense where the speaker was hiding.
"Don't be afraid. This old man won't hurt you. I just have some questions that I hope you can answer truthfully. After that, this old man will let you go."
"What questions do you have, Senior? Why don't you speak your mind? It's our honor to be able to answer your doubts …" The few women spoke in unison. Their expressions softened slightly.
At this moment, the owner of the voice purposely released a trace of the qi of the human race, making the few women feel slightly relieved. They realized that this senior who was hiding his identity might not be their enemy.
"Let me ask you. Which Immortal Venerable of the human race is the one who gave you the life-saving divine ability?" Ning Fan purposely made his voice hoarse and asked.
"… In reply to Senior's question, the one who gave us the divine ability is Venerable Miao Yan. We are the maidservants of Venerable Miao Yan …" The few women hesitated for a moment before answering.
This was not a secret. They would not deliberately hide it from Ning Fan either.
"Venerable Miao Yan, huh …" Ning Fan secretly remembered this name. He thought that Venerable Miao Yan was most likely the Immortal Venerable of the human race who helped them in the past.
After remaining silent for a while, Ning Fan suddenly flicked his finger. The map jade slip in his hand immediately turned into a ray of light and flew out of the ground.
"This map jade slip is what I obtained when I killed the Poison Dragon Guards. Bring it back and hand it to Venerable Miao Yan. Tell Venerable Miao Yan that the demon race is trying to unseal the ancient formations in the Ancient Wild Region. The formations marked in this jade slip are only part of the ancient formations … We don't know what the demon race is planning. Venerable Miao Yan, please take extra precautions!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fan dispersed the aura force that was exerting on the few women. Then, he used the Earth Escape Technique and returned to the barbarian valley. He no longer paid attention to the few female immortal cultivators.
"Has that senior left …?" Feeling that the aura force on her body was relieved, a round-faced female cultivator in black robes immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
"Are we going to hand this jade slip to Venerable Miao Yan?" One of the female cultivators muttered to herself.
"Of course we are! Who knows, we might be able to make a great contribution if we hand over this jade slip. "
The few women carefully kept the jade slip. After calming themselves down, they hurriedly left the place and returned to the southern territory.
While they were still on the way, they used a secret technique to pass all kinds of information to Venerable Miao Yan.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, returned to the barbarian valley and left with Immortal Loli and Liu Yan.
A few days later, all the experts of the human race came out and began to search for the ancient formations in all the unconquered barbarian regions. They were then handed over to two Venerated Immortals of the human race to destroy them.
As soon as the news spread to the northern territory, it immediately shocked the demon races of the northern territory. The one who was the most shocked was Old Ancestor Poisonous Dragon.
"Damn it! How did the human race discover our scheme?! "Old Ancestor Poisonous Dragon's furious roar resounded across the seven regions of the demon race.
Then, he ordered all the experts of the demon race to go out and break the ancient formations at all costs!
Moreover, Old Ancestor Poisonous Dragon personally went to stop the human race from breaking the ancient formations!
The human cultivators were desperately trying to destroy the ancient formations while the demon cultivators were desperately trying to break them. Everyone knew that something big was about to happen in the Desolate Land which had been peaceful for a long time. Turbulent undercurrents were surging …
Ning Fan did not get involved in the chaos. With his cultivation base, he would not be able to play much of a role in such a chaotic situation.
Even though the human race tried their best to destroy the incomplete formations, many of them were still successfully broken by the demon race.
Black snowflakes began to fall across the entire Desolate Land. As soon as the black snowflakes fell, the Desolate Land became chaotic. Every day, many barbarians transformed into wild beasts. Every day, there would be barbarian cities being massacred by wild beasts.
Ning Fan walked on the official road of the barbarian city. Looking at the black snowflakes that covered the sky, his eyes gradually turned solemn.
He did not wear the ghost mask. Liu Yan and Immortal Loli followed behind him and he was holding a longbow made of dragon horn in his hand.
Along the way, the longbow kept flattering him. Obviously, it was extremely afraid of him.
"Master, oh Master, you are the most powerful cultivator that Little Bow has ever seen in my life. You are actually able to create a real bridge on the True Illusion River. You are a hundred times more powerful than Little Bow's previous master. Little Bow is able to become Master's bow and help Master conquer the world.
"Master, oh master. Why are you so lucky with women? I'm really envious of you. There are two extremely beautiful women following behind you. Even though one of them is still a little young, being young has its own advantages. Hehe … "
"What?! Master's bone age is actually below ten thousand?! This is really unbelievable! I'm really a frog at the bottom of a well. I've lived for so many years but I've never seen such a peerless genius like you! "
"Hehe. My mouth is getting a little dry after talking so much. The seal in my body is also getting tighter. Master, can you help me loosen the seal …?"
"Ah! Master, please stop. This Barbaric Flash is not fun. It's not fun at all! "
The only thing that responded to the longbow was the Barbaric Flash in Ning Fan's hand.
Every time Ning Fan used the Barbaric Flash, the longbow would cry for its parents in pain and shut its mouth obediently.
However, it would forget the pain after a while and continue to talk nonsense with Ning Fan. What it got in return was another round of Barbaric Flash.
In order to find out the information about the key in the longbow's memory, Ning Fan had used the Reverse Spirit Technique more than once to search the longbow's soul.
He also threatened the longbow to unlock the seal on its memory more than once so that he could read it.
Under Ning Fan's threats and promises, the longbow finally unlocked its memory and allowed Ning Fan to search its soul.
Unfortunately, the memories sealed by the Bow Spirit were also incomplete. There was not much useful information.
The only information about the key that Ning Fan obtained was only one.
There were a total of nine 'keys' in the world. Each of them was the key to leave the 'Illusory World' and enter the 'Heavenly Desolate Ancient Realm'.
"What is the Illusory World …? What is the Heavenly Desolate Ancient Realm …?"
Ning Fan shook his head. His eyes were filled with confusion and he continued to move forward in the black snow.
As if he was tired of listening to the longbow's nagging, Ning Fan strengthened the seal on the longbow and threw it back into the Profound Yin World under the longbow's indignant gaze.
He did not kill the longbow. According to the longbow's memory, the True Dragon Clan possessed one of the nine keys. The longbow's existence could help to unlock the seal on that key …
The snow in the Wild Wasteland was getting heavier and heavier. The entire place had turned into a world of black snow. To the barbarians, it was a snow disaster.
The situation of the barbarians was getting more and more difficult. On one hand, they had to deal with the snow disaster. On the other hand, they had to deal with the attacks of the wild beasts. At the same time, they had to be wary of the barbarians around them turning into beasts …
In the eighth district of the unconquered Barbarian Domain, the Heavenly Barbarian City.
The Heavenly Barbarian City was the largest city in the Eighth District of the Barbarian Domain. Due to the large number of barbarian monks stationed in the city, the city had always been peaceful and never feared the attacks of wild beasts.
However, ever since the black snow fell from the sky, there would be barbarians who would transform into wild beasts without warning every day and wreak havoc in the city.
Even if those wild beasts were killed by the barbarian monks in the end, there would still be many people who died in the mouths of the wild beasts.
On the city wall of the Heavenly Barbarian City stood a beautiful woman in black who looked around twenty years old. She was wearing a monk's robe and holding a prayer bead in her hand.
She used to have a common name, Zhao Die 'er. Now, her Dharma name was' Shi Wei '. She was one of the three great barbarian monks with the strongest abilities in the Heavenly Barbarian City.
Shi Wei, Hu Bugui … She was waiting for Ning Fan's return.
Due to the success of her barbarian technique, Zhao Die 'er could maintain her youthful appearance and extend her lifespan by borrowing the power of the masses. Her lifespan was a few times longer than a mortal.
If her barbarian technique continued to improve, she would be able to live longer. Although barbarians couldn't cultivate, they could still extend their lifespan in this way.
However, even though she could slow down her own aging, she couldn't slow down the aging of her parents … A barbarian who couldn't become a barbarian monk was destined to have a short lifespan.
Her parents had already died a few years ago. As for her, because she cultivated the barbarian technique, she could have an extraordinarily long lifespan …
"Four years ago, my father passed away. Three years ago, my mother also passed away. Last year, Uncle Zhao San also passed away … Now, there are no more acquaintances from Bianliang in the Heavenly Barbarian City …"
"Uncle, where are you? It's been fifty years. Why haven't you come to visit me? I miss you. I really miss you …"
Zhao Die 'er stood on the city wall and stared blankly at the black snow that covered the sky. She was missing Ning Fan and waiting for his return.
Her fingers gently stroked the bone pendant on her neck. That was the present Ning Fan gave her when she reached adulthood.
As time passed, she finally began to understand why Ning Fan was able to do so many strange things in the past.
Ning Fan casually plucked a plum blossom and it turned into a spiritual herb in the mortal world. Ning Fan killed barbarian monks like ants with a wave of his hand.
Ning Fan had never used any barbarian technique. He wasn't a barbarian monk.
With Zhao Die 'er's experience, she could already guess that Uncle Ning Fan, whom she missed the most, might not be a barbarian …
"Could Uncle be a cultivator of a foreign race? Only a cultivator of a foreign race can possess cultivation base and display the power of an immortal like the Barbarian Ancestor without the help of the power of faith …"
"Uncle once said that his hometown is very far away. It's so far that I won't be able to reach it in my lifetime … So, it turns out that Uncle's hometown isn't in the Wild Wilderness. That's the reason why I can't go there …"
"Barbarian people can't leave the Wild Wilderness. If they leave, they will die … I … I can't go to Uncle's hometown … It's really regretful …"
"Uncle … Do you still remember me? Have you forgotten me …?"
Zhao Die 'er stroked the bone pendant on her neck. Her heart ached faintly. When she thought that she might have been forgotten by Ning Fan, even breathing hurt her.
She suddenly regretted becoming a barbarian monk. She could only watch her relatives grow old and die without being able to stop them or accompany them.
She could only live alone like this. It's so tiring …
It was unknown when a snow eagle had flown over from the snowy sky. It was the messenger eagle that was reared by Heaven Man City.
When the guards took the secret letter from the eagle and read it, their expressions immediately changed and reported to Zhao Die 'er.
"Master of Shiwei! Urgent report! Urgent report! Three hundred Black Barbarian Monks have gathered an army of savage beasts and are invading our Heaven Man City! "
Zhao Die 'er's reminiscing expression immediately disappeared. Her pretty face turned cold.
The Black Barbarian Monks were obviously barbarians, but somehow, they could control savage beasts and make them obey their orders.
In the past, the Black Barbarian Monks didn't have the ability to control savage beasts. However, ever since the black snow fell from the sky, the Black Barbarian Monks gained this strange ability …
"Three hundred Black Barbarian Monks … I wonder if our Heaven Man City can withstand this attack. Even if we can, what about the next time …? "
Zhao Die 'er's beautiful eyes looked at the countless barbarian statues on the city wall and sighed.
Those barbarian statues were more or less broken. Sooner or later, they would be completely destroyed by the savage beasts that were attacking the city.
That day would be the day of Heaven Man City's destruction …
The urgent report quickly spread across the entire Heaven Man City. The two hundred Barbarian Monks in Heaven Man City were all gathered on the city wall.
Standing next to Zhao Die 'er were two other powerful Barbarian Monks. Their faces were solemn.
An hour later, three hundred black riders could be vaguely seen on the snowy plains in the distance. They were all Black Barbarian Monks.
Behind the Black Barbarian Monks were nearly a hundred giant savage beasts that charged towards Heaven Man City without a care for anything else.
"Hiss! This time, the Black Barbarian Monks have attracted a hundred savage beasts to attack the city! How can the remaining broken barbarian statues in Heaven Man City withstand the attack of a hundred savage beasts?! "
The Barbarian Monks of Heaven Man City were all in despair. Many of them began to close their eyes and chant scriptures. They were chanting the Expiation Scripture. It was obvious that they were prepared to die in battle.
Zhao Die 'er's expression was very calm. She wasn't too afraid of the possibility of death.
Death wasn't scary. To her, what was scary was living alone for a long time and not being able to wait for the person she was waiting for …
Her beautiful eyes looked at the few plum trees below the city wall. She looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar red plum blossoms and smiled bitterly.
The plum blossoms had bloomed again, but her uncle still hadn't come …
Her uncle wouldn't come. He would never come again …
Her uncle wasn't a barbarian. The Wilderness wasn't his home. He might have left a long time ago …
Zhao Die 'er gradually put away the sadness on her face. A hint of determination appeared in her beautiful eyes as she shouted and gave the order, "Fight to the death!"
Be it the Barbarian Monks or the soldiers guarding the city, all of them had solemn expressions on their faces as they prepared for the upcoming battle to the death.
However, at that moment, three figures slowly walked over on the official road outside the city.
The city gate was tightly shut. It seemed like the three of them couldn't enter the city and didn't intend to enter.
The two women, one big and one small, remained outside the city gate. As for the white-robed man, he looked at the top of the city wall and smiled. He seemed to have said something, but no one could hear it clearly. Following that, the white-robed man walked toward the army of wild beasts in a relaxed manner.
His white robe was dazzling in the midst of the black snow that filled the sky.
He was alone in front of the army of savage beasts and he seemed so insignificant.
"Is that person crazy?! He's actually walking towards the army of savage beasts! He doesn't want to live anymore! "Many of the soldiers guarding the city began to exclaim.
Zhao Die 'er was the only one who stood there blankly, unable to believe the scene in front of her.
Her uncle whom she had been missing for a long time actually came at this moment!
She had no idea that the bone pendant on her neck was glowing faintly. Only when she was in a life-threatening situation would the bone pendant emit light.
Ning Fan came to the Heaven Barbarian City because he sensed the light.
"Don't be afraid …"
Ning Fan's voice resounded in Zhao Die 'er's ears. Apart from making her feel relieved, it also made her feel a little wronged. Tears flowed down uncontrollably from her eyes.
She had waited for fifty years and Ning Fan had finally come …
"Hmm? There's actually a madman who wants to stop the army of savage beasts by himself? Haha! Kill him! "
Among the three hundred Black Barbarian Monks, many of them immediately let out a bloodthirsty sneer. Some of them even drew their blades from their waist and rushed towards Ning Fan on their horses.
Ning Fan did not even look at the Black Barbarian Monks who were rushing towards him. His five fingers were wrapped in barbaric flashes of light. He raised his hand and clawed, as if he was holding the entire sky in his hand. Then, he forcefully tore it apart!
The ground in front of him that was covered with black snow was immediately torn apart from the middle as if it was being torn apart by someone.
The sky that was covered with black snow was directly torn apart by Ning Fan, revealing the dark and gloomy void behind it!
The black and red barbaric flashes of the Black Barbarian Monks flew towards the Black Barbarian Monks and the army of savage beasts before they could even react.
Before the three hundred Black Barbarian Monks could react, they were all killed by the power of the Barbaric Flash along with their horses. Their bodies and flesh were scattered all over the ground. How could mere mortals resist the might of the Barbaric Flash?!
Nearly one hundred savage beasts were filled with fear. They wanted to flee but they could not do so in time and were directly killed by the Barbaric Flash.
Even the savage beasts that were comparable to Life Immortal Realm experts were no match for Ning Fan at all!
Even a few Early Crossing Truth Realm savage beasts were powerless to resist the Barbaric Flash and were killed by Ning Fan in a single strike!
On the city wall of the Heaven Barbarian City, all the Barbarian Monks and soldiers were shocked. The image of Ning Fan who was wearing white robes and annihilating all the savage beasts while the earth was splitting and the sky was collapsing made their hearts palpitate!
"A foreign race! This man must be a foreign cultivator! Moreover, even among the foreign races, he is definitely an extremely powerful existence! "Some of the more experienced Barbarian Monks exclaimed in shock. (To be continued.)
