As soon as Xiang Bozi finished speaking, a vast amount of magic power came from the other end of the teleportation gate, causing the demonic qi in the gate to tremble violently. It was as if a pair of invisible hands had torn it apart, revealing a demonic qi passage that could allow a single person to pass through.
The demonic energy of the Divine Tomb's ninth level was far too heavy. With the cultivation of the Divine Void Twin Emperors, the most they could do was enter alone. Wanting to open a channel through the demonic energy was actually difficult.
In Godly Void Pavilion, only Xiang Bozi could do this with his first level Quasi-Sage cultivation. But even for Xiang Bozi, it wasn't easy for him to accomplish this.
After hearing the old ancestor's words, no one stopped Ning Fan from entering the ninth floor.
The group of experts sat down again and set up a seal on the teleportation gate, trying to seal off the leakage of demonic qi from the gate.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, entered the portal with a heavy heart. Ning Fan could hear the helplessness in Xiang Bozi's words. That tone made it seem as if even with Xiang Bozi's first rank Quasi-Sage cultivation and all the resources of the Godly Void Pavilion, he would not be able to save the Ancient Chaos Emperor …
How bad was the Ancient Chaos Heavenly Emperor's situation …
Roar!
Roar!!
"Roar!"
As soon as he entered the ninth floor, deafening devil roars resounded in his ears. Each of the roars was stronger than the previous one.
Being caught off guard, Ning Fan only felt a buzzing pain in his ears. Then, black blood flowed out from his mouth. His consciousness was nearly knocked out by the devil roars.
What a powerful demonic roar! Just who was it that could actually let out such a terrifying demonic roar!
It wasn't a roar that had just been emitted, but an echo. It had already reverberated in the ninth level for ten years, and it still hadn't disappeared!
"Little friend, be careful. This is the roar left behind by that demon ten years ago. With your current cultivation, you must not listen to this demonic sound, or your Sea of Consciousness will be heavily injured!"
In the devil qi passageway, a blind old man in grey robes suddenly appeared in front of Ning Fan. With a flick of his sleeve, his sleeve seemed to contain the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. All of a sudden, all the echoes in heaven and earth were swept away by his sleeve like dust, no longer able to approach Ning Fan.
As soon as he saw the grey-robed old man, Ning Fan did not dare to be careless. He immediately greeted the old man. "Junior Ning Fan greets Senior Xiang."
In his heart, he was shocked by Xiang Bozi's words.
The echoes of the devil's roar had actually spread from ten years ago all the way to the present. Moreover, it was actually able to injure him with a single roar. The cultivation of the ancient great devil who left behind this roar was truly world-shaking!
"You don't have to be so polite, little friend. This old man will bring you to see your master one last time. "
The last time! What does that mean?
Ning Fan's heart felt like it was struck by a rock. His expression changed. Could it be that the Ancient Chaos Great Emperor's lifespan has come to an end and his Dao is going to be destroyed?
What happened in the Tomb of the God of Sin ten years ago? Was the ancient demon that came to the Tomb of the God of Sin the culprit who caused the destruction of the Chaotic Ancient Dao?
Who is that devil?
As if he had seen through Ning Fan's doubts, Xiang Bozi brought Ning Fan to the ninth floor of the Chaotic Ancient Tomb Palace. At the same time, he briefly told Ning Fan about what happened ten years ago.
Ten years ago, the Red Sun Illuminating the Sea phenomenon appeared in the Eastern Sky. The scope of the phenomenon was very wide. At that time, it caused a large number of cultivators to panic.
Fortunately, the phenomenon soon disappeared. On that day, only the disappearance of babies occurred on 4,000 cultivation planets, so it didn't cause any more incidents. For cultivators, the death of a few mortal babies was not a big deal. Therefore, very few people paid attention to the phenomenon.
Very few people knew that on the day when the Red Sun Illuminating the Sea appeared ten years ago, an ancient great devil came to the Divine Tomb!
That great devil seemed to have descended into the Divine Tomb out of nowhere. It directly appeared on the seventh floor of the Divine Tomb, causing a strong tremor in the tomb. The Divine Void Emperor and the Divine Void Emperor immediately led their people into the tomb to investigate. Countless experts in the group could not even withstand a single palm attack from that great devil and were defeated!
Xiang Bozi, the Quasi-Sage Realm expert who had been living in seclusion, could no longer sit idly by. He personally entered the Divine Tomb but he was also defeated by that great devil. Similarly, he could not withstand a single palm attack from that devil!
The dead spirits in the last three floors of the Divine Tomb were completely devoured by that great devil. Then, he went straight to the Chaotic Ancient Tomb Palace and issued a challenge to the Ancient Chaos Great Emperor.
Even Xiang Bozi had no idea why that ancient great devil challenged the Ancient Chaos Great Emperor. He only knew that the battle was too terrifying. Even with his Quasi-Sage Realm cultivation base, he could not participate in it. All he could do was hide in the eighth floor and sense it from afar.
That battle ended with the defeat of the Primeval Great Demon, and the Primeval Chaos Great Emperor had almost perished on the spot due to overexertion of energy.
Had it not been for Xiang Bozi taking out the ancient treasures of the Divine Void Pavilion and saving him, the Ancient Chaos Great Emperor would not have been able to hold on until today. He would have perished ten years ago.
"I used all of the connate spirit herbs in the pavilion and even used the three strands of origin qi I've collected in my life to barely seal the Primeval Chaos Emperor's soul. However, ten years had passed, and the Ancient Chaos Emperor's soul was still extremely weak. Now, no matter how many treasures of heaven and earth there were, it was impossible to save the Emperor's fate. During these ten years, the Ancient Chaos Thearch had always been in a deep sleep. However, when you entered the Divine Tomb, he forced himself to wake up. I think he also wants to see you … "
Xiang Bozi let out a long sigh. Before the Divine Void Ancestor died, he had left behind a final order. If Ancient Chaos neared the end of his dao, then even if he had to sacrifice all of Divine Void Pavilion's treasures, he had to save him. He had indeed carried out the primogenitor's orders. Unfortunately, he couldn't save Ancient Chaos …
"I also don't know the identity of that ancient great devil. However, I have some guesses. That ancient great devil used fire as his wings and bats as his devil marks. He somewhat resembled the members of the Fire Wings Clan of the ancient devil race. I don't know much about the ancient devil race and I can't tell much about them. Moreover, there seems to be a purple [Devil Sealing Stone] embedded in the glabella of that ancient great devil … But how is this possible? Didn't all of those ancient great devils die in battle? Could it be the missing part …? "
As he said that, Xiang Bozi's expression became unprecedentedly solemn. However, he was also a little uncertain.
He did not know what the Fire Wings Clan was and he also did not know what the Devil Sealing Stone was.
"What is the Devil Sealing Stone?" Ning Fan asked.
"Oh? Little Friend, you haven't heard of the Devil Sealing Stone? " Xiang Bozi was slightly surprised. Then, he smiled and said. "You're right. Even though Little Friend's innate talent is great, you have only cultivated for a short period of time after all. It's normal that you don't know about these ancient secrets. Little Friend, you should know that the Four Heavens and Nine Worlds that we are in is an Illusory World, right? "
"I know."
After reaching the level of Immortal Venerate Ancient, he would more or less know about the origin of the Illusory World. After seeing Ning Fan nod his head, Xiang Bozi was not concerned and continued to speak.
"Little Friend, you should know about the invasion of the Outer Domain and the collapse of the Ancient Heavenly Court, right?"
"I've heard a little about it."
"It is said that when the Zi Dou Immortal Domain collapsed, Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou used the last of his power to seal the remaining Zi Dou Immortal Realm cultivators into a certain Illusory World, isolating them from the True World. Then, he left behind nine stone doors that can lead one to the True World in the Ancient Heavenly Desolate Realm. We are the cultivators of that Illusory World. "
"This Illusory World has a long history. It was already opened when Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou achieved Dao. In the beginning, the strongest force in the Illusory World was the Ancient Heavenly Court which was ruled by a Heaven Sovereign. Later on, the remaining Zi Dou Immortal Realm cultivators entered the Illusory World, increasing the number of the strongest forces in the Ancient Heavenly Court to four – the Ancient Heavenly Court, the Demon Manor, the Ten Realm-Guarding Clans and the Devil Conferral Summit."
Ning Fan's eyes narrowed. It was his first time hearing about such ancient secrets.
It was his first time hearing about the Demon Manor and the Ten Realm-Guarding Clans. As for the Ancient Heavenly Court and the Devil Conferral Summit, he was no stranger to them.
The Ancient Heavenly Court was the force controlled by Mu Weiliang's father while the Devil Conferral Summit was the force established by Great Emperor Mo Zhong. The Devil Conferral Summit was the sacred ground of the devil race. Ning Fan had once visited the Devil Conferral Summit and awakened his ancient devil bloodline there.
"In the beginning, the Illusory World was still led by the Ancient Heavenly Court. However, the situation in the Illusory World changed drastically. First, the demon race was invaded by a mysterious expert and it collapsed into the Awakening Realm and the Dream Realm. The entire Demon Manor was sealed in the Dream Realm. Inside the Demon Manor, everyone from ancient great demons to low-grade demon generals were severely injured and on the verge of death. They fell into a state of deep sleep and it was difficult for them to wake up … No one knew what happened to the demon race. The only thing they knew was that all the demon cultivators in the Awakening Realm had been deprived of their demon spiritual power … "
Ning Fan's eyes turned solemn. He had long heard that there was a place of deep sleep in the demon race where an ancient great demon was sleeping. Today, he heard more detailed information about it from Xiang Bozi.
"After that, the devil race was also in trouble. That person. A mysterious expert came to the devil race. However, no one knew what exactly happened to the devil race. Ever since that person came, the Devil Conferral Summit of the devil race suffered a destructive blow and disappeared from heaven and earth. From then on, I've never heard of any devil cultivators who could enter the Ancient Devils Abyss and receive the inheritance of the ancient devils. As for the ancient great devils who guarded the Devil Conferral Summit, half of them died in battle. Their corpses were incomplete while the whereabouts of the other half were unknown … After that, the devil race collapsed into nine great devil abysses. Nine devil ancestors were suppressed under the nine devil mountains. Until now, they still haven't been able to break free from the seal. As for the surviving low-grade devils, all of them had lost their ancient devil bloodline … "
Ning Fan's eyes turned solemn.
It was his first time hearing about such a secret behind the nine divisions of the Ancient Devils Abyss!
"After that, the Ancient Heavenly Court was in trouble. It was said that an Immortal Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly Court had betrayed the Heaven Sovereign's trust. He destroyed the Demon Manor and the Devil Conferral Summit all by himself, suppressing the demon race and the devil race. No one knew how that Immortal Emperor obtained the key to the passage of the Heaven Sovereign and opened the stone door that led to the Ancient Heavenly Court. After that, countless cultivators from the outer world swarmed into the Ancient Heavenly Court, trying to destroy this Illusory World completely. In that battle, the Heaven Sovereign and the cultivators of the Ancient Heavenly Court under his command all died in battle. In the end, all the invading cultivators from the outer world were annihilated … "
As he spoke until here, Xiang Bozi's tone was heroic and heroic. It was obvious that he admired the ancestors of the Ancient Heavenly Court who died protecting the realm.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, frowned.
He had seen Mu Weiliang's memories before. He had also seen some fragments of the collapse of the Ancient Heavenly Court. He remembered that one of the invading cultivators from the outer world seemed to have escaped.
Immortal Emperor Zhang Qing should have escaped …
However, when he thought about it again, if Immortal Emperor Zhang Qing had really escaped, why didn't the coordinates of the Illusory World Plane leak out? Why didn't the cultivators from the outer world invade the Illusory World after so many years?
He couldn't figure it out …
"That battle was too brutal. It directly caused heaven and earth to collapse into the Four Heavens and Nine Worlds. Moreover, after the battle, the low-grade cultivators of the God Race also lost their ancient divine bloodline and the power of their Heart Aperture … "
"Among the four great forces in the past, the Ancient Heavenly Court was completely annihilated. The Demon Manor fell into a deep slumber. The Devil Conferral Summit was half destroyed and disappeared. Only the ten clans of the World Guardian survived and became the strongest force above the Four Heavens – the ten great secret clans. Logically speaking, the ten great secret clans are the strongest forces in the Illusory World. Each clan has a great cultivator from the ancient times. They are fully capable of taking over the entire Illusory World on behalf of the Ancient Heavenly Court. However, the ten great secret clans unexpectedly did not have the intention to take over the world. Instead, they sealed their territories one after another and did not contact the outside world. I once received a piece of news which is somewhat credible … It is said that before the Ancient Heavenly Court was annihilated, the ten clans of the World Guardian were invaded by someone. The Immortal Emperor who betrayed the Ancient Heavenly Court killed all the ancient great cultivators of the ten clans with his own strength … This might be the reason why the ten clans sealed their territories and did not come out. "
Immortal Emperor Zhang Qing once killed all the ancient great cultivators of the ten clans with his own strength?
If Xiang Bozi's information is to be believed, wouldn't Immortal Emperor Zhang Qing annihilate the Demon Manor, the Devil Summit, the secret clans and the Ancient Heavenly Court all by himself?!
Currently, Ning Fan could be considered to have witnessed the power of great cultivators from the ancient times. At the very least, he should be as strong as Yin Mo in order to have the courage to call himself a great cultivator from the ancient times, right?
Figures of that level were actually slaughtered by Zhang Qing. It was enough to show how powerful Zhang Qing was.
A Heavenly Emperor who could chase Zhang Qing out of the Illusory World was certainly not a weakling … A Heavenly Emperor was also terrifyingly strong.
Then, here comes the question. How did the butterfly in the past manage to destroy Zhang Qing's eye …
Without any cultivation base or ability, she managed to destroy Zhang Qing's eye just like that. Why …
Ever since he started cultivating the Dao, Ning Fan would often think about this question. However, he could not think of an answer.
The butterfly must have relied on some kind of power that was beyond his understanding to destroy Zhang Qing's eye. However, why would such a level of power appear on the butterfly …
"The Devil Conferral Summit is the sacred ground of the devil race. It is said that Great Emperor Mo Zhong, who was ranked seventh under the Immortal Sovereign Throne, established it. When it moved to the Illusory World, Great Emperor Mo Zhong had already died in battle many years ago. In the beginning, there were a total of 25 great ancient devils guarding the Devil Conferral Summit. On the eve of the invasion of the foreign cultivators, 13 of them died in battle but 12 of them went missing. All the great ancient devils on the Devil Conferral Summit shared a common characteristic – the Devil Sealing Stone that was embedded on their glabella. The great ancient devil who came to the Divine Tomb ten years ago had a Devil Sealing Stone on his glabella. I suspect that this person is highly likely to be one of the 12 great ancient devils who went missing in the past … "
"If that's really the case, why did that devil reappear after disappearing for countless years and why did he come to the Divine Tomb and attack Great Emperor Ancient Chaos … I also can't find the answer to these questions."
Xiang Bozi let out a long sigh. He told Ning Fan everything he knew and guessed. As for the rest of the things, he also did not know.
In the past, the great ancient devils on the Devil Conferral Summit went missing. Then, the foreign cultivators invaded and destroyed heaven and earth. Today, the group of great devils who had gone missing reappeared in this world. Would there be a great disturbance in this world again?
Ning Fan's face was as gloomy as still water. After hearing so many secrets, he actually felt a hint of uneasiness for no reason.
Inexplicably, his mind recalled Nalan Zi's words of divination that day.
The Four Heavens will be isolated. There will be a great war in the Northern Heaven. The Spirit King will die in the hands of the Western Demon Ancestor …
Judging from the words of divination, the world will certainly be plunged into chaos. Could it be that the arrival of the great ancient devils in the Divine Tomb is also part of that great chaos …?
Things seemed to be a little different from what he had imagined previously. This great ancient devil was not one of the nine great devil ancestors. It seemed like it had little to do with the Devil Well of Contract on the ninth floor.
The guilt in his heart lessened a little but his worries increased.
At this moment, Ning Fan had already arrived at the outside of the Ancient Chaos Tomb Palace. From afar, he saw the illusory old man who was wearing a faint smile.
Great Emperor Ancient Chaos! He was originally in a deep slumber. However, after Ning Fan arrived, he forcefully woke up just to see his disciple.
His body became even more illusory and almost transparent. However, due to the power of the three traces of Shi Qi, his body was forcefully stabilized and did not dissipate.
His face looked very old and withered. His white hair was dry but neat. Even though his qi was weak, it did not lose the domineering aura he had in the past.
Lv Feng and Little Demoness stood beside him. During these days, they seemed to have been taking care of Great Emperor Ancient Chaos on Ning Fan's behalf.
Seeing Ning Fan's arrival, Little Demoness's eyes were filled with longing and joy while Lv Feng's expression was complicated.
As for Great Emperor Ancient Chaos who was smiling warmly just now, his expression immediately darkened when he sensed the smell of blood on Ning Fan's body.
His disciple had such a strong smell of blood. Besides, it was actually the blood of experts!
"It's those ants from the Dark Race who attacked you! How dare they touch my disciple? They are courting death! "
Great Emperor Ancient Chaos took a step forward. The killing intent around his body skyrocketed and it was enough to drown heaven and earth!
Yes, he was extremely weak. He was on the brink of death. However, he had been strong all his life and had never been bullied by anyone.
If the Dark Race dares to bully his disciple, he would make them pay the price even if his Dao is destroyed immediately!
Unknowingly, Ning Fan's eyes turned sour when he saw how protective Great Emperor Ancient Chaos was. He slowly closed his eyes.
This was his master, the master who would always stand behind him and support him no matter what.
The first thing he said to him when they met was that he was concerned about him. He was the person who would stand up for him even if his Dao is destroyed.
Ning Fan was unfortunate. His childhood was filled with hardships and he had suffered countless hardships. He even fell into a devil sect and nearly died.
On the other hand, he was fortunate. He had countless lovers in his life and he was fortunate enough to meet three masters. Each of them sincerely regarded him as their disciple and successor.
Old Devil, Great Emperor Ancient Chaos and Zi Dou … The three of them had different levels of cultivation. However, all of them pointed out the path for Ning Fan to advance in different stages of his Dao cultivation.
The feeling of having a master who cares about me is really good. Even though it was just a desolate and dilapidated Divine Tomb, Ning Fan felt like he had returned home after a long time.
"The Dark Race didn't attack me …"
When he opened his eyes again, he wore a light smile and lied to the Ancient Chaos Immortal Emperor.
He definitely did not want Great Emperor Ancient Chaos to risk his Dao to take revenge on the Dark Race. He would solve his own problems by himself!
Besides, compared to the Dark Race, he was more concerned about Great Emperor Ancient Chaos's body.
That kind of illusory and old appearance made Ning Fan who had an iron heart feel sad. (To be continued.)
