Could it be that this old man's 34 million years of cultivation is no match for the rise of a junior in a hundred years?
Old Wu stared at Ning Fan's Dao Sword with his beady eyes. Even though he was unwilling to admit it, he had no choice but to admit how terrifying Ning Fan's sword was.
The physical defense of the green-faced Daoist child was definitely incredible. However, Ning Fan was able to break through his defense with a single sword strike. The reason why he was able to do so was because of the power of the two types of Dao Laws on his sword.
In the Immortal Venerable Realm, there were definitely not many people who could use the power of two Dao Laws. The power produced was definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two. Since Ning Fan possessed two types of Dao Laws, his offensive power was definitely one of the best among Immortal Venerables of the same level.
However, there was another more important reason why Ning Fan could recover so quickly. The greatest contributor should be the dark illusion technique that could engulf heaven and earth.
That illusion technique was very powerful. Old Wu knew that if he fell into it, he wouldn't be able to break free in a short time without using his trump cards.
It was precisely because the illusory technique was powerful that the green-faced Dao Child fell into it and was unable to evade. Ning Fan's sword directly broke his defense and sent him falling from the sky.
At first, Elder Wu still wanted to teach Ning Fan a lesson, but at this moment, his heart was beating the drum of retreat. He was deeply afraid of Ning Fan.
Moreover, he was already hesitating whether he should agree to the sect master of the Pill Sect's request and join the Anti-Ning Alliance to eliminate Ning Fan.
The green-faced Daoist child was bleeding profusely as he retreated from the giant's body and fell to the ground. Although Taoist Mu Song's eyes were closed, he was clearly aware of everything that was happening in the outside world. He flicked his sleeve in the direction of the green-faced Taoist child, and suddenly, gusts of pine wind blew past, supporting the Taoist child and landing steadily in the ancient temple.
"This disciple has lost the competition. Master, please punish me."
The green-faced Dao child could not be bothered with the bleeding wound on his chest as he knelt before Mu Song, his face filled with guilt.
He had lost face to Xiang Bozi's disciple. He had let down his benefactor.
"Silly child, it's just a loss. Why take it to heart? However, do you know why you lost so thoroughly? "Mu Song sighed softly and patted the Dao child's shoulder.
"Disciple doesn't know. Master, please enlighten me."
"You have taken the wrong path. You haven't discovered this yet, but I believe Little Friend Ning has. If you were placed in Eastern Sky, you could also be considered an outstanding person. However, in the end, you still can't compare to this child. To you, losing to this child is also good. The solitary and proud pine, if not tempered by wind and snow, is unable to become outstanding. "
Mu Song spoke in a language that the green-faced Daoist child did not understand. With a flick of his sleeves, a gust of wind lifted the Daoist child up.
The green-faced Daoist child's head buzzed. He felt that his master's last words had enlightened him.
He had chosen the wrong path … Could it be that he had really chosen the wrong path?
The green-faced Daoist child's expression was blank for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. Compared to before, he was much less arrogant. He casually took out a pill and swallowed it to stop the bleeding. After that, he let out a long sigh and cupped his fists towards Ning Fan who was in the sky.
"Thank you for showing mercy, Fellow Daoist."
His injuries were not severe. That sword strike had only landed on his chest. If it landed on his dantian, it would hurt his foundation. Ning Fan had indeed shown mercy.
"Mm."
Ning Fan looked at the conversation between Mu Song and his disciple with deep meaning. Previously, when Mu Song said that he turned a blind eye to his disciple's difficulties, Emperor Cang, Ning Fan thought that he was a cold-blooded and heartless master. Now, he realized that Mu Song also had the same silent concern for his disciple.
Mu Song had asked the green-faced Daoist child to challenge him. Although it was a test, it was also to train and guide his disciple.
Ning Fan wondered what Daoist Mu Song thought of him after this battle and whether he had met his requirements.
Just as he was about to walk down the green ring, he heard Daoist Mu Song speaking to a big-eared novice monk beside him.
"Little Boy of Song Country, you should also go and fight this Rain Immortal Monarch."
The big-eared novice monk who was called was slightly startled. Then, he shook his head and said, "I'm not a match for Rain Immortal Monarch."
"It's alright. This is your chance to verify the Grand Dao of Withered Tree. Even if you lose, I'm sure you will gain something from it."
Upon hearing this, the big-eared novice monk no longer refused. Instead, his figure turned faint and appeared in the sky like a phantom. He put his palms together and smiled bitterly at Ning Fan.
"I don't dare to disobey master's order. I hope Rain Immortal Monarch can give me some pointers."
As soon as he finished speaking, dark yellow light flowed around his body. The hidden aura force was also at the Eternal Zero Tribulation Realm but it was much stronger than the green-faced Daoist child. He was afraid that he was not far away from the First Tribulation Realm.
Moreover, this dark yellow light vaguely contained an extremely strong ability to break illusions. If Ning Fan wanted to use the same trick again by using the dark illusion technique, it would probably be difficult for it to work.
The big-eared novice monk continued to mumble some incantations. Suddenly, the world inside the green ring changed.
Ning Fan's eyes narrowed slightly. The sky where he was standing suddenly changed. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in an ancient pine world out of thin air.
In all directions, there were ancient pines that were so tall that they could reach the sky. Moreover, there were endless Buddhist chants echoing in the wind.
"A divine ability that can change heaven and earth?"
Green light flickered in Ning Fan's eyes. His spirit sense turned into rain, covering the entire ancient pine world in an instant. In just a split second, he could see through the entire ancient pine world.
After the big-eared novice monk dragged Ning Fan into this world, he immediately activated his divine ability. All of a sudden, the ancient pine trees were uprooted from the ground and turned into wood dragons. Hundreds of millions of dragons charged at Ning Fan at the same time. There was almost no place for him to retreat or evade the attack. Every path of retreat was sealed.
"Not a bad divine ability. If it's a Zero Tribulation Immortal Venerable, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand this attack."
Ning Fan praised the other party's extraordinary divine ability. Then, his body swayed and disappeared, leaving only a faint red light where he stood.
All the dragons were stunned. They could not see where Ning Fan was heading to and were at a loss.
At the next moment, Ning Fan directly appeared in front of one of the countless dragons. His eyes that were glowing with green light locked onto that dragon. He raised his hand and slashed.
It was another slash that was supported by two Dao laws. This slash did not have any magnificent sword light but it directly split the dragon in half. Surprisingly, the big-eared novice monk was hiding inside the dragon's body.
The big-eared novice monk was shocked. Obviously, he did not expect that Ning Fan would be able to find him among the hundreds of millions of dragons so easily. Before he could react, he saw Ning Fan's sword slashing at his chest.
"Dry Dragon Mirror, protect me!"
Seeing that the sword light was about to reach him in the blink of an eye, the big-eared novice monk shouted without any hesitation. All the dragons in the world disappeared and an ancient mirror with pine patterns appeared in front of him.
When the sword light slashed at the ancient mirror, it was strangely absorbed by it. Then, a ray of sword light burst out from the mirror and slashed at Ning Fan. It actually reflected Ning Fan's divine ability back to him.
"An ancient mirror that can reflect divine abilities …?"
Ning Fan's eyes turned solemn. He raised his hand to block the sword light and slashed at the ancient mirror again.
Previously, the sword light that was surrounded by two types of Dao laws could not break this mirror. Instead, it was reflected back to him. However, if there were three types of Dao laws, this mirror might be able to do the same!
This time, Ning Fan used the power of Battle Yin Yang. The boundless battle intent around his body flowed into his sword, causing the number of rays of Dao laws on the sword to increase to three.
"It's actually three types of Dao laws! Impossible! "
The big-eared novice monk's expression changed drastically. Before he could react, he heard a cracking sound coming from the ancient mirror. It was forcefully shattered by Ning Fan. The sword light did not lose its momentum and directly slashed at the big-eared novice monk's chest. All of a sudden, the entire ancient pine world could no longer be maintained and completely collapsed. As for the big-eared novice monk, an arrow of blood spurted out from his chest. He retreated tens of steps in the sky before he could stabilize his body.
The injury on his chest was not serious but he was indeed defeated by Ning Fan. He was not a match for Ning Fan at all …
"Thank you for showing mercy, Fellow Daoist."
The big-eared novice monk smiled bitterly and returned to the ancient temple. He already knew that he was not Ning Fan's opponent but he did not expect that he would be defeated so easily.
Junior Brother Song Xi had at least lasted for ten breaths of time in Ning Fan's hands. However, he only lasted for less than three breaths and was defeated …
"Hiss! Senior Brother Song Guo has even used the Heaven Changing Technique of One Pine and One Country but he only lasted for three breaths of time in Rain Lord's hands! "
The disciples in the temple inhaled deeply again. Old Wu's expression became even uglier.
Ning Fan's sword actually contained the power of the third type of Dao law! In terms of offensive power alone, perhaps not many people at the First Tribulation Realm could be a match for Ning Fan!
Of course, Immortal Venerables would not simply attack and defend themselves. If they could not defend against Ning Fan's sword light, they could very well use their attacks instead of defending themselves.
However, most of Old Wu's more powerful attacks were related to his dark luck. Unfortunately, his dark luck was restrained by Ning Fan. In terms of defensive means, he did not think that he had any abilities that could block Ning Fan's sword that contained three types of Dao laws.
If that was the case, he would definitely lose more than he would win if he fought against Ning Fan. As he thought of this, Old Wu's fear towards Ning Fan rose to an unprecedented level. His heart became even more resolute. He would never get involved in the muddy waters of the Pill Sect! After all, he and the sect master of the Pill Sect were just fair-weather friends. There was no need for him to provoke a ruthless character like Ning Fan for the sake of this person.
"Hehe. We have already fought two battles. I wonder if Brother Mu is satisfied with Little Friend Ning's performance?" Even though Xiang Bozi asked a question, he was already eighty to ninety percent sure that Daoist Mu Song was already extremely satisfied with Ning Fan.
Daoist Mu Song just smiled without saying a word.
Ning Fan won both battles. His moves were straightforward and beautiful. Mu Song was very satisfied with him.
Ning Fan cultivated three types of Dao laws and was also a Heavenly Being Realm cultivator. Mu Song was also very satisfied with him.
However, if that was all, Ning Fan still did not have the qualifications to make Mu Song pay a huge price to open his eyes and challenge the dark race again.
What moved Mu Song the most was his identity as the successor of Ancient Chaos. Ning Fan's strength was sufficient. However, if he could not do one thing, he would not be able to help Mu Song complete the research of the second ancient map. Naturally, he would not have the qualifications to make Mu Song make an exception and open his eyes.
The main reason why Mu Song let his two Immortal Venerables fight against Ning Fan was to let his disciples suffer some losses. He wanted to use this opportunity to train them.
The real test for Ning Fan would still be in the third battle.
Old Wu made up his mind that he would definitely take a detour when he sees Ning Fan in the future. As for the Heaven Opening Stone that was snatched away from him, he would not dare to ask for it anymore. Ning Fan was just too strong.
Unfortunately, Old Wu did not know that Daoist Mu Song would not give him the chance to avoid a battle with Ning Fan. He had already calculated it.
"Little Friend Wu, why don't you go and have a battle with Little Friend Ning?" Daoist Mu Song said with a faint smile. His words made Old Wu have the urge to curse.
Are you kidding me?! Your disciples can't defeat Ning Fan and you want me, an outsider, to fight him? Do you want me to be slashed by Ning Fan too? That's the slash of three types of Dao laws. I can't take it, alright?!
Even though he cursed in his heart, he did not dare to say a word on his face. Old Wu forcefully squeezed out a smile and declined. "Senior Mu, you must be joking. This Rain Immortal Monarch is very strong. He possesses three types of Dao laws. I probably won't be a match for him. Why don't I give up on the third battle …"
Mu Song was indeed an eccentric person. He was still smiling just a second ago but his expression changed in the next second. "Humph! I asked you to fight so you should go. Why don't you give up on the battle like this? Are you dissatisfied with me?!"
Old Wu's forehead immediately beaded with sweat. He hurriedly explained. "Senior has given me three treasures. How would I dare to be dissatisfied with Senior?" Mu Song was indeed an eccentric person.
This time, even if he wanted to avoid Ning Fan, he could only brace himself and fight him.
Judging from Mu Song's intention, it was obvious that he wanted to test Ning Fan. However, he had also included me in his plan. Damn it! My cultivation base is not as strong as him so I can only be submissive and submissive. How vexing!
Forget it. If you want to fight, I will fight. I still have the other two treasures that you gave me. I don't have to be afraid of Ning Fan's three types of Dao laws!
When he thought of those two treasures, Old Wu's confidence became much stronger. With a flash, he ascended the green ring in the sky and politely bowed to Ning Fan with a Dao salute.
"I am Old Wu. Previously, I had a lot of misunderstanding with Rain Sovereign. Now, I have no choice but to fight you. I hope Rain Sovereign will show mercy to me."
His tone was unprecedentedly polite!
Ning Fan was slightly stunned. Old Wu's politeness was not an act. He was really afraid of Ning Fan. That was why he was so polite. With his sharp senses of the Second Heaven Realm, he could feel it.
He did not expect that this fellow could still be polite without any change in his expression after he snatched the Heaven Opening Stone from him. Such a submissive attitude was one in a million.
Unfortunately, he did not have a good impression of Old Wu. Naturally, it was impossible for him to show mercy. If the two of them were to fight, Ning Fan would still use his full strength to defeat Old Wu quickly. Only then could he show off his strength in front of Mu Song.
He was brought here by Xiang Bozi. Thus, he represented Xiang Bozi. Naturally, he had to win some glory for Senior Xiang!
"Rain Sovereign, be careful. I'm going to use my magic treasure!"
Old Wu gave Ning Fan a warning with a smile on his face. However, inwardly, he wished that Ning Fan would be defeated by his magic treasure.
He turned his hand and a green light flashed in his hand. Then, a small pine sapling that was about a foot long appeared. It was flowing with precious light. It looked extremely extraordinary. Obviously, it was not an ordinary item.
Then, Old Wu blew a breath at the small pine sapling. Immediately, the small pine sapling grew with the wind and turned into a ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall pine tree!
It was unknown how many pine needles there were on the giant pine tree. Each of the pine needles was as sharp as flying swords and glowed with cold light.
Old Wu changed his hand seal. Immediately, thirty million pine needles flew down from the tree like flying swords and rained down on Ning Fan like a storm.
Ning Fan's expression changed and became unprecedentedly solemn.
This small pine sapling was not a magic treasure. However, the pine needles that grew on it could be used as flying swords!
Thirty million pine needles were equivalent to thirty million flying swords!
The lowest grade of these flying swords was a Void Fragmentation Realm magic treasure. Even the pine needle swords that were ranked as immortal swords were countless. There were also many immortal swords that had attained the Postcelestial Grade!
Among them, there were even a few pine needle swords that had attained the Postcelestial Grade of the Twelve Nirvana Realm!
The thirty million flying swords were flying at Ning Fan. Among them, there were countless high-grade immortal swords. How would Ning Fan dare to underestimate them?
At this moment, even if he had three types of Dao laws wrapped around his Dao sword, it was impossible for him to repel the thirty million flying swords with a single strike. Besides, most of his other abilities were not enough to deal with this situation.
If he uses the Soaring Golden Light to evade, he could easily evade Old Wu's attack. However, if he does that, he would leave a weak impression in Daoist Mu Song's mind.
He must win this battle and he must win it in a domineering manner. Only then could he not bring shame to Senior Xiang's reputation.
While thinking, Ning Fan opened his mouth and swallowed the Dao sword into his abdomen. All of a sudden, thousands of rays of red light burst out from his body. He had actually activated the power of his tribulation blood to the maximum.
Since he had the body of tribulation blood, the strongest ability he could display was undoubtedly the famous ability of the Seventh Barbarian God Ta Gu – the Oblivion Current Technique!
It was a great ability that could change heaven and earth. It was the most suitable ability to deal with the current situation!
The thirty million flying swords were approaching him. Ning Fan's expression remained unchanged and he raised his right palm.
His movement was clearly as fast as lightning. However, in the eyes of the crowd, it seemed to be extremely slow, as if every scene was playing in slow motion.
When his fingertip drew across the sky, it easily created a crack between heaven and earth. After that, the entire world began to change.
During the two years that he had walked out from the Barbaric Passage, Ning Fan had already studied this technique. Thus, he was extremely proficient in using the Oblivion Current Technique.
When he used this technique again, there were no longer any traces of the formation of mountains and seas. Instead, an endless river of oblivion current appeared between heaven and earth!
The thirty million flying swords that were initially flying at Ning Fan were all swept into the river, unable to break free from it.
Old Wu's expression changed drastically. Before he could react, he was sealed under the river by Ning Fan. Similarly, he was unable to break free!
"What kind of ability is this?!" Almost everyone in the ancient temple was astonished. Even Xiang Bozi and Daoist Mu Song wore solemn expressions.
Those who had some discerning eyes could see that Ning Fan had used a technique that could change heaven and earth. However, the level of this technique was so high that it was beyond everyone's expectation.
This technique was definitely at the level of an ancient Grand Cultivation Realm. There was no doubt about it!
One should know that even a slightly weaker Immortal King would not be able to keep all the flying swords away when facing the thirty million flying swords. However, Ning Fan was able to do so despite being a First Tribulation Cultivator. Did it not mean that his ability was powerful?!
This level of power had already exceeded the understanding of the low-grade disciples here. Even Xiang Bozi and Daoist Mu Song did not have many types of abilities of this level. It was even more impossible for the remaining people to have such abilities!
The green-faced Daoist child and the large-eared novice monk stared at the black river in the sky with their mouths agape. If they were still a little unconvinced when they lost to Ning Fan before this, they no longer felt the slightest bit of dissatisfaction at this moment.
Didn't they see Old Wu who had a First Tribulation Cultivation Base of ten thousand years trapped at the bottom of the river like a tortoise?
Old Wu's cultivation base was undoubtedly higher than theirs. Even if he faced a Second Tribulation Immortal Venerable, he might be defeated, but it was impossible for him to be suppressed and confined like this.
If it were them, it would be even more impossible for them to break free from Ning Fan's river.
"Rain Lord is not an ordinary person. We can't compete with him!" The two of them exchanged glances and sighed.
On the other side, Old Wu who was the person involved had long been scared out of his wits by Ning Fan's ability.
Only …
Old Wu could only feel how terrifying the river water was when he was in the river. He was horrified. This river water could actually devour and destroy everything. Be it his memories or his Dao Techniques, none of them could resist the corrosion of the river water!
Ning Fan had already shown mercy to him. If Ning Fan attacked him with full force, Old Wu would definitely die in this river!
"How bitter, how bitter. I didn't think that the Rain Lord would have the divine abilities of an ancient great cultivator. He actually took away my thirty million flying swords in one move and imprisoned me in this great river. Luckily, I still have the third treasure that Senior Mu Song bestowed upon me. If I have this treasure, I may be able to escape from this river!
Old Wu took a deep breath and patted his storage pouch. He took out a square seal with a golden top and a black bottom. There were patterns of the sun and the moon on each of the four corners of the seal.
On the surface, the seal seemed ordinary. However, if one takes a closer look, one would be able to sense the Innate Qi inside the seal.
This treasure was actually a Innate Magic Treasure!
It was called the Yin Yang Square Seal. It was the magic treasure that Daoist Mu Song used before he attained the Quasi-Saint Realm. It was not an ordinary magic treasure even among the Innate Magic Treasures!
This item was the third magic treasure that Old Wu had asked for from Mu Song!
"The only shortcoming of this treasure is that every time I use it, I need to consume a huge amount of magic power. Even with my Ancient Tribulation magic power, I can barely maintain the operation of this treasure. I need to reveal my Ancient True Body in order to have enough magic power to activate this treasure!"
"Ning Fan, little brat. Even though your ability is strong, can it be stronger than Senior Mu Song's famous magic treasure?!"
Old Wu sneered in his heart. He could almost foresee the scene of Ning Fan being defeated by the Yin Yang Square Seal.
At the next moment, Old Wu's body expanded rapidly. His body was shrouded in a ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) black light. The dazzling black light made it impossible for others to see his current appearance.
His body grew to a million zhang * (3.33m per zhang) in size. However, the river was also strange. The water level seemed to rise along with Old Wu. No matter how tall he became, he could not poke his head out from the surface of the river.
"This is … the Ancient True Body! Isn't this a divine ability that only Immortal Kings can cultivate? I didn't expect this person to be able to cultivate it during the First Tribulation. How powerful! "
The green-faced Daoist child and the large-eared novice monk were speechless at the same time. Obviously, Old Wu's Ancient True Body surprised them.
However, after the black light on the surface of Old Wu's body dispersed, the two of them became speechless.
It turned out that Old Wu's Ancient True Body was actually an extremely ugly black tortoise. It was rather rare for a human cultivator to cultivate a demon-type true body. What was even rarer was the degree of ugliness of Old Wu's black tortoise true body.
How should one put it? Among the ferocious beasts in the Cultivation World, beautiful ones could certainly bring people a sense of beauty. However, ugly and ferocious beasts could also give people a sense of prestige and make people like them.
Old Wu's black tortoise true body, on the other hand, did not have the slightest sense of prestige and ferociousness. The shape of its face was inherited from Old Wu himself. Therefore, its appearance was indeed a little ugly. However, the problem was that this tortoise true body just happened to walk the path of being adorably ugly. Originally, it had small eyes like mung beans. However, after transforming into a giant tortoise, it actually turned into big round black eyes that were shamelessly cute. It also had double eyelids and long eyelashes.
As a result, it was very difficult for this tortoise to give people a sense of ferociousness. It could only be said to be adorably ugly. Without a sense of might, it was very difficult for those who liked ferocious beasts to like it.
"Bitter, bitter. I knew that once I revealed my Ancient True Body, I would definitely be laughed at by others. I can only blame myself for not having enough cultivation. I clearly wanted to absorb the power of the ancestor of evil and cultivate the true body of the Nine-winged Black Tortoise. However, I didn't expect my luck to be bad. I made a mistake in my cultivation and cultivated to such an ugly appearance. "
The only thing that made Old Wu gratified was that this ugly tortoise body was somewhat powerful. Once it transformed into its true body, its magic power could almost skyrocket by several times.
Originally, his cultivation was slightly above the first tribulation. After transforming into its true body, his cultivation was only a hair's breadth away from stepping into the second tribulation realm! With his current magic power, it was enough to activate the Yin Yang Square Seal!
"Break for me!"
The giant tortoise roared. The Yin Yang Square Seal immediately shook and emitted a mighty force that tore apart the river of oblivion.
It actually used the power of a magic treasure to directly break the magical power of an ancient grand cultivator! (To be continued.)
