Given how intelligent the Ancient Chaos Great Emperor was, how could he not tell that Ning Fan was lying? However, he also understood that the reason why Ning Fan said that was because he did not want him to worry.
Perhaps the Dark Race did not personally take action against Ning Fan, but those forces who wanted to curry favor with the Dark Race could no longer sit still.
He had yet to extinguish his Dao, and yet others dared to bully his disciple. If his Dao was completely extinguished, what kind of situation would his disciple be in?
The Purple Dou Celestial Realm used to be so powerful and prosperous! Back then, the Lie Yuan Sect's reputation had been so great!
Thinking back to when he, the Ancient Chaos Emperor, was at his peak, he could suppress the Dark Race with a wave of his hand. No one dared to bully his disciple!
But now, the Purple Dipper Celestial Realm had fallen apart, and the entire Lie Yuan Sect had perished in battle. The last descendants of the Purple Dipper Celestial Realm were trapped in the Illusionary World, unable to walk out. They did not dare to walk out, and they were in a sorry state.
He, Ancient Chaos, had died in battle in ancient times. He had relied on the help of the Divine Void Ancestor to leave behind an illusion that hadn't been destroyed. Although he had struggled to survive in the Illusionary World until now, he would eventually perish …
He was no longer the almighty Ancient Chaos Emperor. He no longer had the power to suppress the dark races.
The destruction of his Dao was almost irreversible. The only thing he was worried about was the successor he had accepted after his death – Ning Fan.
Was he in such a sorry state that he couldn't even protect his disciple?
"All of you withdraw for now. I want to speak with my disciple, and I don't want anyone to listen." Ancient Chaos' killing intent gradually vanished, and he revealed a dejected expression as he instructed Luo Zi and the others.
After hearing what Ning Fan said, Xiang Bozi, Xue Meining and Lv Feng did not stay any longer. They parted ways with Ning Fan and returned to the eighth level of the Divine Tomb.
Outside of the Palace Tomb, there was only Ning Fan and his disciple, Ancient Chaos, standing opposite each other.
The Ancient Chaos Great Emperor was obviously extremely weak but he still raised his hand and helped Ning Fan block the devil qi of the ninth floor.
This kind of invisible concern made Ning Fan feel even sadder. As long as there is a chance, he would not wish for the Chaotic Ancient Dao to be destroyed. However, he did not know if there was still a chance to save this old man …
"I'm close to the end of my Dao, but there's still one thing I'm worried about, and that's you. You've done very well. You haven't brought shame to the Lie Yuan Sect's name. It's only been a hundred years, and you've actually managed to cultivate the Jie Clan's bloodline to the realm of Three Stars Real Blood. With such aptitude, even in the Primordial Era, you would be able to look down upon all heroes! "
"With your current strength that is comparable to the Ancient Immortal Venerables, you might not be able to do as you please in the Illusory World, but you can protect yourself. I wouldn't be worried if someone else bullied you, but this time, it was the dark race. The Ten Thousand Ancient Immortal Venerables aren't strong enough to fight against the Dark Race … It's a pity that the Primordial Seal can't be passed to you. Otherwise, the Dark Race wouldn't dare to bully you! "
Ancient Chaos coldly humphed. He turned his hand and took out a scroll weaved with golden threads, showing it to Ning Fans.
The surface of the scroll looked ordinary and there was no magical power flowing within it. However, in Ning Fan's eyes, it seemed to have the power to punish the heavens and earth! The moment it first appeared, it was as if it had replaced the Heavenly Dao of this place and could send down tribulations and punishments!
There's no mistaking it. The power contained within this golden scroll is clearly the power of slaughter and punishment! However, it was different from the Punishment Power that Ning Fan had mastered.
Ning Fan's Punishment Power was used to punish the Barbarian Race while the Punishment Power in this scroll was used to punish other races.
"What is this?" Ning Fan asked.
"In the past, when the Immortal Sovereign sent the last descendant of Zi Dou into the Illusory World, he left behind three ancient contracts. They are the Demon Mansion Contracts, the Devil Summit Contracts and the Ten Clans Contracts. Among them, the Demon Mansion Contracts were obtained by the lord of the Demon Mansion. With this contract, he can suppress all demons below the Quasi-Saint Realm. "
"The Devil Puppet Contracts were obtained by the first devil general under Great Emperor Mo Zhong. With this contract, he can suppress all devils below the Quasi-Saint Realm."
"The contracts in my hands are the Ten Clans Contracts. It exists specifically to suppress the ten clans of the Realm-Guarding Clan. The reason why the dark race is afraid of me is because of this item. With this item, as long as I am still alive, I can use this contract to suppress all divine cultivators below the Quasi-Saint Realm! The dark race are all divine cultivators. That's why they are afraid of me. Unfortunately, this contract can't be passed on to others. It will only perish together with me. If it's not because of this, I can pass this contract to you. In that case, the dark race will certainly be wary of you and won't dare to bully you. What a pity … "
Ancient Chaos let out a long sigh. He kept the ancient contract and said.
"I've been living in the Divine Tomb for many years. I've long been tired of this kind of life where I'm neither alive nor dead. To me, the death of my Dao might be a kind of release. The only thing I'm worried about is that the dark race will come to bully you after my Dao is extinguished. The dark race is like an ant to me. To you, the dark race is still a colossus. If I can live for a few more years, I can intimidate the dark race for you. Unfortunately, my lifespan has come to an end. The battle against that great devil has exhausted all of my remaining strength … "
"Is there really no way to stop the death of my Dao?" Ning Fan asked with a solemn expression.
"There's no way. Ancestor Divine Void built the Divine Tomb for me. It's already a heaven-defying item. He can keep one of my illusions alive, just like the shadow of the mountains and seas of the barbarian race. However, even this can't stop the death of my illusions. Little Friend Xiang has used a lot of innate spiritual herbs to save me. However, even innate spiritual herbs aren't enough to prolong my life … "
Before Ancient Chaos could finish his words, Ning Fan suddenly asked, "If there's a Heaven Opening Grade spiritual herb, can it save me?"
"Heaven Opening Grade spiritual herb?" Ancient Chaos was stunned. Then, he shook his head and chuckled. "There isn't even a sage in the Illusory Dream World. How can there be a Heaven Opening Grade spiritual herb? Even a sage might not necessarily have that kind of spiritual herb. Besides, not just any kind of Heaven Opening Grade spiritual herb can prolong one's life. The chances of this happening are really slim. We can't force it … "
Ancient Chaos did not mean what he said but Ning Fan was listening intently.
A sage might not necessarily have it. In other words, it's still possible for a sage to have it!
Isn't the Supreme Pill Sacred Region just a place where a sage grows and gathers herbs? Would there be a spiritual herb that could prolong Ancient Chaos' life there …?
Originally, Ning Fan just wanted to fulfill his promise and accompany Ouyang Nuan to the Supreme Pill Sacred Region. However, this time, he had another goal.
"After meeting you this time, I will continue to sleep. In this way, I can certainly make the illusion last longer. It should be able to last for another ten years. Within ten years, the dark race won't dare to take action personally. After ten years, I won't be able to protect you anymore. You might not be able to protect yourself … "
Ancient Chaos smiled bitterly. He reached out his hand and patted Ning Fan's shoulder. His expression was filled with worry and helplessness. Ning Fan's eyes, however, lit up.
The Supreme Pill Sacred Region will open in another five years. If I can find the Heaven Opening Grade spiritual herb inside, I might be able to save Great Emperor Ancient Chaos in time …
Sure enough, I must go to the Supreme Pill Sacred Region!
Ning Fan secretly kept this matter in mind. However, there was another matter that he was puzzled about. Thus, he asked about the drastic change in the Divine Tomb ten years ago.
That ancient great devil had fought against Great Emperor Ancient Chaos before. Thus, Great Emperor Ancient Chaos certainly knew more than Xiang Bozi.
That great devil was suspected to be the missing devil lord from the Devil Conferral Summit. However, no one knew his exact identity. No one knew why he came to the Divine Tomb either.
Speaking of which, if it wasn't for that great devil who suddenly appeared and fought against Ancient Chaos, Ancient Chaos would not have died so quickly. Thinking of this, Ning Fan frowned. He felt a lot of hostility towards that ancient great devil whose identity was unknown.
"If I'm not mistaken, that great devil should be Old Devil Black Wing of the Fire Wings Clan. He is the seventh devil general of the Devil Conferral Summit …"
Just a sentence from Ancient Chaos confirmed the identity of that great devil. As expected, it was the great devil of the Devil Conferral Summit!
The great devils of the Devil Conferral Summit either died in battle or went missing. This Old Devil Black Wing was exactly that devil lord who had gone missing!
"… He used the [Devil Cavity] to directly enter the Divine Tomb …"
Devil Cavity! It was a kind of lost divine ability of the ancient fiendgods. It could directly open a passage and travel between worlds.
Ning Fan's expression changed slightly. He had also read about the devil cavity in some ancient books. However, he did not expect that the great devil did not enter the Divine Tomb through the devil well. Instead, he walked out of the devil cavity.
"… His qi is very strange. It feels like a living person but also like a dead person. When he faced me, he did not seem to have the consciousness of his true body …"
"… His purpose of coming to the Divine Tomb seems to be the ancient contract. He once tried to tempt me to go with him, wanting to borrow the contract of the ten clans. However, I rejected him and fought him out of anger. Unfortunately, he was no match for me. I forced him to retreat and even destroyed his devil cavity. As a result, he has lost his devil cavity. It will be as difficult as ascending to the heavens if he wants to cross the boundary and enter the Divine Tomb again … "
Ning Fan's eyes turned solemn. It turned out that Old Devil Black Wing's purpose was actually the ancient contract that Ancient Chaos possessed!
Since the contract could not be given to others, it could only be used by Ancient Chaos himself. That was why Old Devil Black Wing requested Ancient Chaos to do so. After he was rejected, he attacked Ancient Chaos forcefully but was defeated …
Why did the great devil who disappeared in the ancient war suddenly appear and come here to seek the power of the ancient contract …
Ning Fan faintly felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. However, he did not have the power to verify it.
After talking about the ancient great devil, Ancient Chaos then asked about Ning Fan's experiences in the past one hundred years.
Ning Fan told Ancient Chaos about his experiences in the Desolate Wasteland. When he heard that a certain eyeball monster was still alive, Ancient Chaos's face darkened as if he had recalled something bad.
He only had one woman whom he loved the most in his life. Her name was He Yao.
There was once an extremely wretched eyeball monster who dared to peep at He Yao when she was bathing. Fortunately, Ancient Chaos discovered him in time and gave him a good beating …
When he heard that the wretched old friend of his was still alive, Ancient Chaos felt relieved after his expression darkened.
When he heard that Ning Fan had joined forces with the strange eyeball to kill Old Ancestor Yin Mo, Great Emperor Ancient Chaos actually threw his head back and laughed heartily. Obviously, he was very happy.
Yin Mo was the biggest traitor of the Purple Dipper Immortal Domain. Countless Purple Dipper Immortal Cultivators wanted to kill him. Who would have thought that he would die in the hands of his own disciple? Yin Mo had really taken in a good disciple!
Ning Fan did not hide the fact that he had become the Barbarian God and obtained the Heaven Opening Weapon from Great Emperor Ancient Chaos.
As soon as he heard that Ning Fan had become the Tenth Barbarian God and obtained the sixth fragment of the God Exterminating Shield, even with the Ancient Chaos Great Emperor's mental state, he could not help but be shocked.
Even when Ancient Chaos was at his peak, he didn't have the chance to own a Heaven Opening Treasure. Ning Fan was lucky enough to get one. This disciple's luck was much better than his.
Moreover, he had actually become the Barbarian God who stood above tens of thousands of people in the Ancient Barbarian Tribe. If he is in the True World, his status would probably be even more distinguished than many Incipient Saints!
The only problem was that this Heaven Opening Artifact had been damaged in the battle against Yin Mo, so it had to be repaired.
"A Heaven Opening Artifact is different from ordinary magic treasures. After it is damaged, it can repair itself. However, in the process of repairing itself, it must absorb the power of the Heaven Opening Stone. The Heaven Opening Stone is an ore used to refine a Heaven Opening Artifact. It is divided into four grades: Low Grade, Mid Grade, High Grade and Supreme Grade. The Heaven Opening Stones above the Mid Grade are as precious as Heaven Opening Spiritual Herbs. As for the Low Grade Heaven Opening Stones, they are slightly more common. Many of them are used to refine Supreme Grade Innate Magic Treasures. For an ancient force like the Godly Void Pavilion, perhaps they might have Heaven Opening Stones … "
It turns out that a Heaven Opening Artifact can repair itself. However, the process of repairing itself requires the use of Heaven Opening Stones … Ning Fan thought to himself. I'll ask Senior Xiang Bozi later to see if the Godly Void Pavilion has such an item. If they do, I can buy some …
Great Emperor Ancient Chaos was too weak. After speaking for a long time, he showed signs of fatigue. Seeing this, Ning Fan did not say anything else. After sending Ancient Chaos Great Emperor to sleep again, he returned to the eighth level of the Divine Tomb.
When he arrived, his heart was heavy.
Now, he had a glimmer of hope. His expression became much more relaxed.
At least, he could go to the Supreme Pill Sacred Region to search for it. After all, that place was the herb gathering place of Saints. There might be some Heaven Opening Spiritual Herbs there …
Perhaps Great Emperor Ancient Chaos can still be saved …
Such a thought lingered in his mind. It actually gave Ning Fan a feeling that the Samsara Void Tribulation was about to befall him.
Sure enough, his Samsara Void Tribulation required him to grasp something and bear that burden. Only then could he achieve a breakthrough.
After returning to the eighth level, Ning Fan discussed with Xiang Bozi for a while again as if they had made an agreement.
After that, Lv Wen went to look for Ning Fan. It was unknown what he said to Ning Fan but both of them seemed to have made an agreement.
After that, Ning Fan left the Divine Tomb and went to Little Demoness' new abode – the Godly Void Pavilion's Chief Pavilion Lord Residence to rest for the time being.
After not seeing her for a hundred years, Little Demoness' status was no longer the same as before. She was no longer a sacrificial offering nor a nominal young pavilion lord. Instead, after giving an order to Xiang Bozi, she was promoted to be the Chief Pavilion Lord of the four pavilions of the Godly Void Pavilion. She was in charge of all the affairs of the four pavilions! The original four pavilion lords all had to obey the orders of the Chief Pavilion Lord!
Little Demoness had actually become the Chief Pavilion Lord of the Godly Void Pavilion!
Ning Fan was a little surprised. This status was extremely honorable. It was enough to mobilize all the experts below the Venerated Immortal Realm in the Godly Void Pavilion.
Currently, Little Demoness only needed to give an order and she would be able to summon seventeen to eighteen Shredding Thoughts and She Kong to listen to her orders.
To outsiders, the Godly Void Pavilion was the strongest force in Eastern Heaven. As the Chief Pavilion Lord of the Godly Void Pavilion, Little Demoness was a figure who was at the same level as a sect master. She was considered as a first-class respected figure.
After inheriting the position of the Chief Pavilion Lord, Little Demoness immediately became busy. All the important matters of the four pavilions needed her to make decisions.
Just like that, she had been busy for ninety years. It was only until the Divine Tomb experienced a drastic change and Ancient Chaos was on the verge of Dao Extinction that she pushed away all her official duties and appointed the four pavilion lords to temporarily take charge of the pavilion. As for herself, she made a request to the two Divine Void Emperors to enter the lowest level of the Divine Tomb and personally take care of Great Emperor Ancient Chaos!
Great Emperor Ancient Chaos was Ning Fan's master while she was Ning Fan's woman!
Her master was on the verge of Dao Extinction but his disciple was not by his side. As Ning Fan's woman, she had the obligation to take care of her master on his behalf!
Compared to her husband's matters, nothing else was important!
"Hehe. I've been busy for ten years taking care of my master on behalf of my husband. How are you going to repay me?"
As soon as she returned to the Chief Pavilion Lord's residence, Little Demoness immediately dismissed all of her maids and snuggled lazily in Ning Fan's embrace, sniffing his scent greedily.
After not seeing him for a hundred years, she naturally missed Ning Fan. She missed his scent.
It was a very heavy smell of blood. He must have killed a lot of people on his way to the Divine Void Pavilion …
In these hundred years, he must have experienced a lot of dangers, right?
Although there was a lazy and sly smile hanging on her lips, Little Demoness felt a little heartache. She felt sorry for the stubborn young man in the past. He had walked step by step to where he was today. Others only knew about Yu Jun's glory but no one knew about the hardships he faced.
She knew that she had watched this young man grow up from Seven Apricot City to where he was today.
"What do you want to repay me?"
Ning Fan caressed the black hair of the lady in his embrace. His heart was filled with warmth.
"I want to challenge you, the successor of Ancient Chaos, once again with the identity of the successor of the Divine Void Pavilion!"
Little Demoness smiled evilly. With a tug, she directly rolled onto the bed with Ning Fan …
Before her black dress could be taken off, her fair and slender legs had already wrapped around Ning Fan's waist …
Alright, the challenge she mentioned was actually referring to that aspect of the challenge …
Ning Fan stayed in the Chief Pavilion Lord's residence for three days. During these three days, he naturally planted a child relic in her, causing her cultivation base to improve tremendously.
After not seeing her for a hundred years, Little Demoness' cultivation base was already at the Late Human Profound Realm. Now, with the power of the child relic, she directly broke through to the Late Ghost Profound Realm. She had no choice but to immediately go into seclusion to comprehend the Ghost Profound Realm!
Coincidentally, on the fourth day, Xiang Bozi arrived. Thus, Ning Fan and Little Demoness had a brief moment of intimacy before crossing the starry sky and leaving.
It turned out that the conversation between Ning Fan and Xiang Bozi that day was about the Heaven Opening Stone.
Unfortunately, there was no Heaven Opening Stone in the Divine Void Pavilion. Otherwise, Xiang Bozi would probably give Ning Fan a piece out of respect for Ancient Chaos.
After Xiang Bozi investigated for three days, he finally received news about the Heaven Opening Stone. Thus, he immediately came to inform Ning Fan.
On the other hand, after knowing that Ning Fan had returned, the Luo Clan was also purchasing heavenly ingredients and earthly treasures from all over the place to prepare for the treatment of the Battle King. They still needed a few more days to prepare. Thus, Ning Fan did not immediately go to the Battle King Luo Clan to save them. Instead, he tried to repair the God Exterminating Shield at once to increase his self-protection power.
Facing a colossal being like the dark race, Ning Fan really did not have much confidence without the God Exterminating Shield.
"The Heaven Opening Stone that Little Friend wants is already in progress. Even though the Divine Void Pavilion doesn't have it, I have a good friend in the past who seems to have a Low Grade Heaven Opening Stone that has yet to be used. That person's Dao name is Mu Song. He is not well-known in the Eastern Heaven. Perhaps you have never heard of him before. However, he has a disciple whom you must have heard of. He is the master of Emperor Cang! "
"Emperor Cang's master!"
Ning Fan's eyes turned slightly serious.
He had heard of Emperor Cang before. He had even seen him with his own eyes. He was one of the emperors who besieged the Sen Luo Clan in the past. He had the profound cultivation base of the Eight Tribulations Realm. In terms of strength, he seemed to be slightly stronger than the Divine Void Emperor.
Emperor Cang's master was certainly not an insignificant figure. Besides, since he could become friends with Xiang Bozi, it was highly possible that he was also a Quasi-Saint Realm expert!
On the surface, there were only a dozen or so emperors in the Eastern Heaven. However, there were many old monsters who lived in seclusion. Sure enough, one should not underestimate the heroes of the world.
"Mu Song has been meditating in seclusion all year round. Ordinary cultivators don't even have the qualifications to meet him. His personality is eccentric and you can't judge him with common sense. If it's a normal transaction, I have the confidence to exchange the Heaven Opening Stone from his hands. However, if he is unwilling to exchange, I can't force him either … "
Xiang Bozi smiled bitterly.
He failed to fulfill the last wish of his ancestor by saving Great Emperor Ancient Chaos. Now that the successor of Ancient Chaos had other requests, he would certainly do his best to help him.
To be honest, it would be nice to say that Mu Song was eccentric. To put it bluntly, he was hard to get along with.
If it wasn't necessary, he would not want to visit this Daoist Mu Song. If it wasn't because the Heaven Opening Stone was too rare, he would not have brought Ning Fan all the way to Mu Song's cave dwelling.
Xiang Bozi did not ask why Ning Fan needed the Heaven Opening Stone. He vaguely guessed that Ning Fan probably wanted to refine a powerful magic treasure. That was why he needed this item.
As the successor of Ancient Chaos, Ning Fan indeed needed to increase his strength to protect himself when Ancient Chaos was approaching the Dao Extinction Realm.
The reason why he was willing to help Ning Fan was not only because of Ning Fan's identity as the successor of Ancient Chaos but also because they got along very well. He admired this young man who was also a Heavenly Being Realm cultivator.
"If I can get the Heaven Opening Stone, I won't forget Senior's kindness." Ning Fan's tone was very polite.
He had a very good impression of Xiang Bozi. Without this person's guidance, even if he absorbed the Chen Tree's will, he would not be able to break through to the Second Level of the Heavenly Being Realm so smoothly.
Without the Expedition Order given by this person, he would not even be able to enter the Wild Ancient Region.
Without this person's support, how could Little Demoness be promoted to the Chief Pavilion Lord of the Godly Void Pavilion?
This was Xiang Bozi's support and protection for Little Demoness. To a large extent, it was also because of Ning Fan that he made such a decision.
During the Dao Extinction Realm of Ancient Chaos, Xiang Bozi had been very busy. Whether it was under the order of the Divine Void Ancestor or not, Ning Fan felt grateful towards Xiang Bozi.
This time, Xiang Bozi had once again put in a lot of effort for the sake of the Heaven Opening Stone. This made Ning Fan feel rather touched.
Now that Ancient Chaos was approaching the Dao Extinction Realm, the Dark Race was always coveting Ning Fan in the dark. Even if a wise person did not try to curry favor with the Dark Race, they would also not try to befriend Ning Fan at this moment to avoid getting themselves into trouble.
Xiang Bozi chose to help Ning Fan and Ancient Chaos at this moment. It was almost like he was standing on the opposite side of the Dark Race. Of course, Ning Fan would not ignore this kind intention of his.
Even though he addressed Xiang Bozi as Senior, he had already taken him as a friend despite the difference in age in his heart.
Both of their flying speed was not slow. Under their full speed, it took them less than half a day to travel across countless star regions and arrive at the edge of a green sea of stars.
The two of them flew all the way into the sea of stars. At the center of the sea of stars, there was an immortal island in the sea. The air was filled with the fragrance of pine leaves.
The two of them descended towards the immortal island. As soon as they landed, two young boys drilled out of the soil and said with arrogant expressions.
"Who are you cultivators? How dare you trespass on my island? Don't you know that the lord of my island has been in seclusion for a long time?!"
As soon as their voices fell, their bodies glowed with green light. Two Early Shedding Void Realm auras spread out from their bodies and pressed down on Ning Fan and Xiang Bozi.
This kind of aura naturally could not threaten Ning Fan and Xiang Bozi at all.
Ning Fan stood still and let the aura surged towards him. However, it turned into a gentle breeze when it reached three zhang * (3.33m per zhang) in front of him.
Xiang Bozi was even more decisive. He directly struck out two rays of light from his finger at lightning speed and killed the two young boys.
After the two young boys died, they directly turned into a pile of soil. It turned out that they were not living humans but clay figurines.
"Hehe. This Mu Song likes to make clay figurines every day. If there are any outsiders who want to meet him, they will have to kill all the clay figurines along the way. Only then would they be qualified to meet him. After that, if you see any clay figurines again, you can just kill them directly. If you are not ruthless and decisive enough, it will make Mu Song dissatisfied. "
