Old Wu's heart shuddered. He knew that he had underestimated this Rain Immortal Monarch. What shocked him the most was that Ning Fan actually dared to touch the Heaven Opening Stone with his hand. This was really out of his expectation.
One should know that he had refined the Heaven Opening Stone for a whole month using the Dark Luck Secret Technique. Even an Immortal King's luck would be slightly tainted if they touch the stone recklessly, causing a backlash and damage.
However, Ning Fan's expression remained the same, as if he was not affected by the Dark Luck of the Heaven Opening Stone at all. How could Old Wu not be moved?
"Bitter, bitter. This Rain Immortal Monarch is indeed the successor of Ancient Chaos. His cultivation base might not be as strong as mine, but he probably has some abilities to resist the corrosion of my Dark Luck. In this case, even if I give the Heaven Opening Stone to him, he probably won't be harmed … Let's just forget about it! "
The Heaven Opening Stone was held by Ning Fan and he could not take it back even if he wanted to. Old Wu mustered all his strength and secretly circulated his abilities. His body emitted a faint black light. All of a sudden, he seemed to have infinite strength and almost pulled the Heaven Opening Stone out of Ning Fan's hand.
Ning Fan's eyes narrowed slightly and he also circulated his abilities. Faint red light shone around his body. Vaguely, his strength was on par with Old Wu's. It was hard to tell who would win.
Old Wu cursed inwardly. This Ning Fan was not afraid of the corrosion of the Dark Luck. He was determined to snatch the Heaven Opening Stone from me. On the surface, however, he put on an amiable expression and said to Ning Fan with a smile. "I suddenly remembered that this Heaven Opening Stone still has its uses. I'm afraid I can't give it to you. Please let go of it and return it to me."
"Fellow Daoist, you're wrong. Cultivators like us never go back on our words. This stone already belongs to me. You're the one who should let go of it! "
The ancient demon aura in Ning Fan's body suddenly burst out and shook at Old Wu, causing him to let go of the stone. He staggered and took a few steps back before he managed to steady himself. His expression changed drastically.
"The might of an ancient demon …" Xiang Bozi nodded slightly. Daoist Mu Song had a thoughtful expression. He pinched his fingers slightly as if he was deducing something. After that, he seemed to have understood something and muttered to himself, "So this child is actually the descendant of Ancient Chaos. No wonder …"
The fact that Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor possessed the bloodline of a god, a demon, and a devil at the same time might not be known to many low-grade cultivators, but at the Eternal Era level, very few people didn't know about it.
Now that his identity as the successor of Ancient Chaos was known to the public, he no longer needed to conceal his ancient divine, ancient demon and ancient devil qi. Although in this era where the three races had lost their hearts, souls, and blood, possessing the bloodline of the Ancient Demon and Ancient Demon was a shocking matter, it was not so hard to understand if this happened to the descendant of Ancient Chaos.
"Many thanks for the stone, Fellow Daoist."
With a flip of his hand, he kept the Heaven Splitting Stone that he had seized and stared at Old Wu with an expressionless face.
The reason why he was able to repel Brother Wu was not because of his profound cultivation base, but the supreme demonic aura of the Fu Li Ancestor Realm in his body.
When he first saw the Heaven Splitting Stone, he felt that the black smoke on it was a little strange. It could actually resonate with the demon blood in his body.
He was originally from the Fu Li Clan which had the dirtiest luck. Moreover, he had even tainted his own luck and became a cultivator of black luck. Thus, he was not afraid of being tainted by the black luck. That was why he dared to directly place his palm on the Heaven Splitting Stone.
Unexpectedly, after coming into close contact with the Heaven Splitting Stone, Ning Fan actually felt a trace of fear from it.
The Heaven Splitting Stone was actually afraid of him!
No. To be more precise, it was not the Heaven Splitting Stone that produced fear. Instead, it was the black luck on the stone. As soon as it saw Ning Fan, the black smoke actually showed signs of submission. It did not dare to hurt Ning Fan at all.
The feeling that the black smoke gave Ning Fan was very similar to the qi on Zi Li's body. It was extremely similar.
With just a thought, Ning Fan figured out the crux of the matter. The black smoke that was entangling the Heaven Splitting Stone actually contained the power of the Sin Li Clan!
This Old Wu actually possessed the power of the Sin Li Clan!
This Old Wu was not a member of the demon race, let alone the bloodline of the Fu Li Clan or the Sin Li Clan. Ning Fan was able to determine this after coming into close contact with him.
However, Old Wu could possess the power of the Sin Li Clan. There was probably a hidden reason behind this.
No matter what the truth was, Old Wu's attempt to use the power of the Sin Li Clan to suppress Ning Fan was no different from displaying one's slight skill in front of an expert.
Ning Fan was the dignified Fu Li Clan Demon Ancestor. Why would he be afraid of the power of the Sin Li Clan?
Old Wu's heart pounded. He was not the real Sin Li Clan. Before Ning Fan took the initiative to display his Fu Li Qi, he could not see through Ning Fan's identity.
Therefore, he could not understand how Ning Fan forced him to retreat.
Seeing that Ning Fan had taken away his Heaven Splitting Stone, Old Wu could no longer laugh. His face turned gloomy and he said coldly.
"Fellow Daoist, aren't you looking down on the owner of this place by snatching my Heaven Splitting Stone in the boundary of this wooden island?!"
In his words, he actually wanted to use Daoist Mu Song's name to suppress Ning Fan.
"Fellow Daoist, you're wrong. You gave me this stone on your own accord. I didn't snatch it from you." Ning Fan said expressionlessly.
Old Wu's face turned pale with anger. He had used his master's relationship with him in order to obtain three treasures from Daoist Mu Song. He did not expect that one of his treasures would be snatched away as soon as he met Ning Fan. How could he not be angry?
If it wasn't because it was really inappropriate to fight Ning Fan here and if it wasn't because Ning Fan had a Quasi-Saint old monster like Xiang Bozi by his side, Old Wu would definitely attack Ning Fan ruthlessly and take back the Heaven Splitting Stone with force to teach Ning Fan a lesson!
No, I can't. I can't attack Ning Fan in front of two Quasi-Saints …
Just as this thought solidified in Old Wu's mind, Daoist Mu Song suddenly spoke to Xiang Bozi.
As soon as Mu Song spoke, Old Wu did not dare to lose his temper on the spot no matter how unwilling he was. Initially, he wanted to argue with Ning Fan for a while longer. However, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and think of a way to take back the Heaven Splitting Stone later.
"Old Monster Xiang, I'm afraid you didn't bring this kid here just for the Heaven Splitting Stone, right? Otherwise, you could have come alone." Mu Song did not care about Old Wu's humiliation. He had already agreed to Old Wu's three requests and repaid the karma of Old Ancestor Black Luck. As for the matter of the Heaven Splitting Stone, it was Old Wu's own fault. He would not interfere.
"Brother Mu, just now, you used your Fate Connection to deduce something and guessed the purpose of my visit. This kid has been targeted by the Dark Race. The name of my Godly Void Pavilion is not enough to make them fear me. Only Brother Mu can make them restrain themselves. "Xiang Bozi said with a bitter smile.
"According to my deduction just now, your disciple Sen Luo is already dead …" Daoist Mu Song suddenly changed the topic.
"Yes. That kid is already dead." Xiang Bozi said bitterly.
"Ever since I, Mu Song, secluded myself from the world, I have never cared about worldly affairs. After I secluded myself from the world, I became even more indifferent to the matters of Heaven and Earth. I even made a great vow that I would never open my eyes more than three times before I see the Sacred Heart! Even if my disciple, Emperor Cang, is in trouble, I would also turn a blind eye to it. In the past, when the Dark Race bullied your disciple Sen Luo, I had already protected him once. This time, do you want me to make an exception for him again? "
"This matter has indeed put Brother Mu in a difficult position. However, if Brother Mu wants to understand the mysteries of the second ancient map, I'm afraid you really have to rely on this kid's strength. Opening your eyes for him once might not be a bad thing. "
Xiang Bozi's words made Daoist Mu Song silent, as if he was thinking.
Ning Fan's expression changed slightly. He was a little concerned about the second ancient map in their conversation.
Each of the four ancient maps had its own extraordinary features. The first map was the Immemorial Fisherman's Mino. It had been found by Ning Fan and Little Demoness before. It could help the first step in cultivating the Great Dao of Life and Death, allowing one to ascend and become an immortal. Now, it was in the hands of the Godly Void Pavilion.
The second ancient map was called the Golden Sky Black Map. It was said to contain the Great Dao of Yin and Yang. It could help a cultivator break through the bottleneck of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
There was an ancient force in Southern Heaven called the Golden Talisman Palace. It was destroyed because of this second map. Luo You had also tried to find the second map but she could not find any information about it.
Unexpectedly, the second ancient map was actually in Daoist Mu Song's hands!
Logically speaking, the second ancient map could only help one attain the Immortal Emperor Realm. It should not be valued by an expert like Daoist Mu Song. However, judging from Xiang Bozi's tone, this map seemed to have some other mysteries that could make Daoist Mu Song study it repeatedly …
After a long time, Daoist Mu Song finally made a decision. However, he did not give Xiang Bozi a direct answer. Instead, he pointed at the sky. Immediately, countless pine needles flew up into the sky and formed a green ring in the sky.
That ring seemed to have a great ability that could isolate everything within it. Even if a great battle takes place inside the ring, as long as it does not exceed the limit of the ring, the energy waves from the battle would not leak to the outside world.
"I need to test this kid to see if he's worthy of me opening my eyes. Little Boy Song Xi, enter the ring and fight against Little Friend Ning! "
After hearing what was said, a green-faced Daoist child immediately walked out of the group from Mu Song's disciples. He cupped his hands towards the crowd and flew into the ring in the sky, hovering in mid-air.
This green-faced child had an ordinary appearance. However, he was standing in the sky with his hands clasped behind his back. His entire body was filled with an aura force that made him look like he was stepping on the ancient times. No one should underestimate him.
This person was one of the three Immortal Venerables in the temple. He was a newly advanced Immortal Venerables. However, it seemed like he had also killed Immortal Venerables in the ancient times. His baleful qi was very strong.
"Little Friend Ning, get on this platform and fight against Mu Song's disciple. Show him what you're capable of. If you can catch his eye, he will certainly lend you a hand in the matter regarding the Dark Race. "Xiang Bozi turned to Ning Fan and instructed.
Ning Fan was not a fool. At this moment, how could he not know that Xiang Bozi had another purpose for bringing him to the Wooden Island?
Xiang Bozi wanted to help him find a new backer, a backer that could intimidate the Dark Race. If the Ancient Chaos Great Emperor's Dao is destroyed, Mu Song would protect him. This was Xiang Bozi's original intention.
Ning Fan felt a little touched. Xiang Bozi was neither his relative nor friend but he had done so much for him. Of course, he would not reject Xiang Bozi's good intention.
With a flash, Ning Fan appeared on the green platform. Xiang Bozi's voice resounded in his ears again.
"Go all out. Let Mu Song see what you're capable of."
"Mm."
Ning Fan nodded his head. He stood one hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away from the green-faced Dao child. His aura force was even stronger than that of the Dao child.
Seeing that there was a great battle to watch, all the disciples in the ancient temple turned their eyes to the sky. Even Old Wu who had a belly full of anger had the same expression.
Old Wu wanted to take a closer look at what kind of means Ning Fan had. Once he gets to know Ning Fan's background, his chances of defeating him in the future would also increase.
Of course, if there's a chance, he would like to replace that green-faced Dao child to teach Ning Fan a lesson and take back the Heaven Splitting Stone!
The green-faced Dao child looked at Ning Fan arrogantly. He lived on the Wooden Island with his master and never came out of seclusion. Thus, he had never heard of the infamous name of the Rain Immortal Monarch in the outside world. Thus, he naturally did not know that Ning Fan had killed Old Ancestor De Yun.
Even if he knew about it, he would not be afraid of Ning Fan. He had also killed a newly advanced Immortal Venerable before. With his confidence, even if he sensed Ning Fan's aura which was at the level of an eternal tribulation, he was not afraid at all.
"Even though Fellow Daoist is not Senior Xiang's disciple, you can be considered as representing Senior Xiang in this battle. If you lose to me again in this battle, Senior Xiang's disciples will have lost four times in a row on the Wooden Island. In order not to lose too badly, I will hold back a little. "The green-faced Dao child on the opposite side suddenly spoke. His tone was rather arrogant.
Xiang Bozi had accepted three disciples in his life and all of them had been brought to the Wooden Island before. When the two great emperors, Shen Kong and Xu Kong, were young, they had come to the Wooden Island to spar with the young Emperor Cang. However, they were defeated by him.
Later on, Sen Luo was also brought to the Wooden Island. However, Sen Luo was still very young at that time. He was defeated by Mu Song's other disciples even without Emperor Cang's help.
Ning Fan was the fourth disciple that Xiang Bozi brought to the Wooden Island. If he was also defeated on the Wooden Island, the loss would naturally be attributed to Xiang Bozi's disciples.
"…"
Ning Fan did not like to talk too much during fights. What made him even more speechless was where did this green-faced Dao child get his confidence from? He even dared to hold back against him.
Not only did the green-faced Dao child speak arrogantly, but his actions were also arrogant. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back from the beginning to the end. He actually did not plan to make the first move.
Are all of Daoist Mu Song's disciples this arrogant?
Ning Fan shook his head slightly. When he thought of Daoist Mu Song's eccentric personality, he really might have disciples with different personalities.
"This person's divine intent is Song and so is his Dao. However, what he cultivates seems to be the aloof and arrogant intent of Song. That's why he acts arrogantly …"
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with green light. He easily saw through the green-faced Dao child's background.
At the moment when the green light flashed, no one on the scene saw it. Only Xiang Bozi and Daoist Mu Song noticed it.
Xiang Bozi already knew that Ning Fan was a Heavenly Being Realm cultivator. Since he could not see through Ning Fan's background at the Second Level of the Heavenly Being Realm, he was not surprised. Daoist Mu Song's expression changed slightly.
"This young man is actually a Heavenly Being Realm cultivator. No wonder Old Monster Mu thinks so highly of him …"
Since the green-faced Dao child was unwilling to make the first move, Ning Fan would not show any modesty to him. He told the green-faced Dao child to be careful and lifted his finger to shoot out a ray of purple light at the Dao child.
"Dao Weapon, is it? This Dao Weapon seems to have been nurtured by the Heavenly Dao Purple Qi. However, in the eyes of Immortal Venerables like me, it's not considered as a powerful weapon."
The green-faced Dao child showed a hint of disdain. He opened his mouth and spat out a palm-sized dark green leaf into the sky.
As soon as the leaf soared into the sky, it immediately expanded with the wind and turned into a one hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) large. It directly fell towards the Memory Severing Dao Sword, wrapping the sword in its center.
No matter how hard the Memory Severing Dao Sword struggled, it could not break free from the restriction of the leaf.
"Fellow Daoist, what other magic treasures do you have? Why don't you use all of them?!" The green-faced Dao child said proudly with an expression as if he had already gained the upper hand.
Ning Fan was slightly speechless. Even if this person cultivated the Dao of Aloofness, he was too arrogant and lacked the sense of aloofness.
Cang Song's aloofness was different from arrogance. The word 'aloofness' was the limit. Cang Song's arrogance was only shown to his lonesome self instead of being domineering towards others. That was why it was aloofness. This green-faced Dao child had chosen the wrong path.
That leaf was formed by the green-faced Dao child's ability. The Dao Law of Wood was intertwined on it. It could not hide from Ning Fan's Heavenly Fish Eye.
The reason why the divine abilities of Immortal Venerables were so powerful was because they used the power of the Dao Law. As for the power of a Sovereign Immortal Emperor, it was because he possessed the Sovereign Dao Law which was much stronger than ordinary Dao Laws. It was precisely because of the power of the Dao Law of Wood that this leaf could easily restrain the Memory Severing Dao Sword. However, if the Memory Severing Dao Sword were to break this layer of Dao Law, this leaf was not worth mentioning at all.
Ning Fan did not waste any more time talking to the green-faced Dao child. Instead, he flicked his finger. Immediately, an endless rain intent came from heaven and earth. In the blink of an eye, a light drizzle fell on the entire wooden island.
The green-faced Dao child's expression changed slightly. Before he could react, he saw the Memory Severing Dao Sword that was originally restrained by the leaf turn into a ray of sword light and burst out with a 'chi' sound. It cut the Dao Law on the leaf into pieces. At the next moment, the leaf broke into countless rays of green light and dissipated.
The green-faced Dao child's eyes turned grim. At this moment, the Memory Severing Dao Sword was also intertwined with the power of the Dao Law. In terms of quality and quantity, it was actually much stronger than the Dao Law of Wood on the leaf.
No wonder Ning Fan could break his Pine Breath Leaf. It turned out that Ning Fan's understanding of the power of the Dao Law was even higher than his!
* Chi *
Another air-piercing sound was heard. The Memory Severing Dao Sword that was intertwined with the Dao Law of Rain transformed into thousands of illusions and slashed down at him.
This time, the green-faced Dao child did not dare to be careless. Instead, he took half a step back and circulated his divine ability. His entire right arm immediately turned dark green and he directly grabbed at the sword shadows that filled the sky.
No matter how the Dao Sword transformed and no matter how the sword rain changed its trajectory, the green-faced Dao child seemed to be able to accurately predict the direction where each of the sword lights would come from. His dark green right palm was not afraid of the sharpness of the Dao Sword at all. He lifted his hand and directly crushed the illusory sword lights. The sound of metal colliding with each other constantly resounded from his right palm. It was obvious how hard his palm was at the moment.
In an instant, the rain of thousands of swords was all crushed by the green-faced Dao child. Obviously, he could not defeat this newly advanced Immortal Venerable with his Dao Weapon.
Ning Fan sighed softly and kept his Dao Sword. He did not have any magic treasures with strong offensive power. In that case, it would not be easy for him to win quickly.
The green-faced Dao child's expression became even more conceited after his first attack. In a flash, his entire body actually turned into a giant whose body was entirely dark green.
Ning Fan had already seen that dark green defense. It was strong enough to resist the sharpness of the Memory Severing Dao Sword. After turning into a giant, his defense actually increased by a few times. It was incomparably powerful.
The Dao Sword that was surrounded by a type of Dao law could not break this dark green defense.
In that case, he could only use the second type of Dao law at the same time!
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with a dark light. All of a sudden, heaven and earth lost all its light and fell into endless darkness.
"A divine ability that can change heaven and earth? No, it's an illusory technique! "
The green-faced Dao child was shocked at first. Then, he raised his head and laughed heartily.
If it's a great divine ability that could change heaven and earth, he would still be slightly afraid of Ning Fan. However, if it's just an illusory technique, he was not afraid at all.
He was already close to mastering the [Heavenly Eye] of the Buddhist Sect. It was enough to see through most illusory techniques. Thus, this technique was nothing to be afraid of.
"Break!"
The eyes of the giant that the green-faced Dao child transformed into shot out thousands of rays of golden light, trying to sweep away the darkness between heaven and earth. However, when those rays of golden light fell on the darkness, they were immediately devoured by it. They could not see through the darkness at all.
Only then did the green-faced Dao child feel a little shocked. Isn't the illusory technique that Ning Fan used a little too advanced? Even his [Heavenly Eye] could not break this technique.
Many people looked down on illusory techniques because they basically could not cause any real damage. In most cases, they could only serve to confuse the target. Once they are broken, they would be almost useless.
However, if they could not break it, the horror of illusory techniques would be revealed. During a battle, a moment of absent-mindedness could determine the outcome of the battle. He was trapped in Ning Fan's illusory technique and could not break the darkness. Ning Fan could have killed him a hundred times during that time!
"Fortunately, even though I have fallen into his illusory technique, I have been cultivating defensive techniques all my life. Ordinary First Tribulation Immortal Venerables would not be able to break my defense! At least, this battle will end in a draw. It won't be that easy for him to defeat me … "
Just as this thought emerged in the green-faced Dao child's mind, his giant body was sent flying violently in the next moment. An arrow of blood spurted out from his chest.
The darkness between heaven and earth was finally dispelled bit by bit. However, it was not broken. Ning Fan had taken the initiative to remove the illusory technique.
From the start to the end, it seemed to be very slow. However, in reality, it only took ten breaths.
The people in the ancient temple finally regained their vision. The first thing they saw was the scene of the green-faced Dao child's giant body falling from the sky while spurting out blood. They still had a look of disbelief on their faces.
There was a ferocious-looking sword wound on the giant's chest. It was so deep that his bones could be seen. It had completely broken the defense of his physical body. His blood splattered across the sky!
Ning Fan stood in the sky with a sword in his hand. His Dao Sword was intertwined with the light of two types of Dao Laws. It was extremely dazzling and gave people a feeling of unparalleled sharpness.
"Hiss! Even if Senior Brother Song Xi encountered a Second Tribulation Immortal Venerable, his Pine Body would not be broken by a single sword strike! This Rain Immortal Monarch actually broke Senior Brother Song Xi's strongest defense with just a single sword strike! "
"Ten breaths! Senior Brother Song Xi only lasted for ten breaths under the Rain Immortal Monarch's attack! "
Each of Mu Song's disciples began to suck in a cold breath. Old Wu was even more shocked.
He was also a First Tribulation Immortal Venerable. Moreover, he was one of the stronger First Tribulation Immortal Venerables. He had fought with the green-faced Dao child before and he knew that he could not break his opponent's defense with a single move.
However, Ning Fan was able to do it. Could it be that Ning Fan's strength was above his?!
He was an old Immortal Venerable who had cultivated for thirty-four million years while Ning Fan was just a junior who had made his name a hundred years ago. Could it be that Ning Fan was stronger than him?! (To be continued.)
