All of a sudden, day and night changed. Yin and Yang intertwined with each other. The weather on the twelve stars from the east was even more chaotic. The sky above the Zhaoyao Mountain became colder and colder as if winter had arrived. Moreover, the thunderous sounds of winter thunder spread across the sky. Among the thunderous sounds, there were even the sorrowful wails of the ancient apes.
At this moment, countless lightning cracks appeared in the starry sky. Those cracks crisscrossed and connected with each other, forming an ancient lightning diagram under Great Emperor Chong He's feet!
Great Emperor Chong He stood on the lightning diagram expressionlessly as if he was the emperor of lightning at this moment!
On the Zhaoyao Mountain, everyone who cultivated lightning abilities felt their primordial spirit trembling at this moment. It was as if all the lightning cultivators in the world were insignificant in front of this lightning diagram! Their eyes were filled with fear and then, they were filled with fervor!
"I never knew that my ancestor actually had the ability of the Dao of Lightning! This ability is so strong. It seems like it can suppress all lightning! "
"Rumor has it that my ancestor has studied all the abilities of the Heavenly Cycle Grand Emperors since ancient times. He could imitate one or two of them … This lightning diagram is quite similar to the Tai Su Lightning Diagram recorded in the ancient books. Could it be that my ancestor created this ability by imitating the Tai Su Lightning Diagram?!"
The crowd of cultivators was not wrong. This ability of Great Emperor Chong He was imitating the Tai Su Lightning Emperor and created it himself!
Ning Fan was the descendant of the Tai Su Lightning Star. Naturally, he could feel the similarities and differences between the lightning diagram in front of him and the Tai Su Lightning Diagram.
It was very similar. However, it was not the real Tai Su Lightning Diagram after all. Its power was much weaker than the original and it had many flaws …
"Magnetic Yin Lightning Seal, withdraw!"
Great Emperor Chong He shouted in a deep voice. The lightning diagram under his feet immediately extended towards the starry sky where Ning Fan was. Ning Fan's eyes flickered slightly and he retreated instantly. Even though his speed was fast, the lightning diagram's attack was even faster. In just a blink of an eye, it had already reached Ning Fan's feet. All of a sudden, an indescribable suction force came from the diagram and turned into lightning rays that blotted out the sky and engulfed Ning Fan. With Great Emperor Chong He's cultivation base, Ning Fan actually could not resist the suction force of the lightning rays and was directly sucked into the lightning diagram.
Just one move was enough to subdue Ning Fan!
Great Emperor Chonghe bent his palm and beckoned. The lightning diagram that filled the starry sky immediately turned into a ray of lightning and flew into his palm, turning into a three chi long lightning painting scroll. Then, Great Emperor Chonghe rolled it up bit by bit. His expression was still indifferent as if subduing Ning Fan was just a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning.
The entire Beckoning Mountain was in an uproar!
The Ancestral Master's move was indeed extraordinary! This was the strength of a Celestial Emperor, which was completely different from a Celestial Venerable or Celestial King!
Don't be fooled by how powerful the Rain Lord was. Even the Two Kings and Six Venerables couldn't subdue him. But so what? In front of a Celestial Emperor, he couldn't even last one move!
For a moment, the entire Zhaoyao Mountain was filled with cheers. However, there were also some who were worried that the Ancestral Master would really harm Ning Fans life, which would bring great trouble to the mountain.
"Rumor has it that Lightning Emperor Tai Su's lightning diagram can turn the cultivators who are trapped in it into ashes just by retracting and releasing it … If Ancestral Master's lightning diagram imitates the Tai Su Lightning Diagram, I wonder if it would have such terrifying destructive power … Now that the Ancient Chaos Great Emperor hasn't been eliminated, it's not wise to kill Ning Fan …"
However, it turned out that these people's worries were unnecessary.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths …
Great Sovereign Chonghe closed his eyes slightly as if he was waiting for something. When the twelfth breath arrived, he suddenly opened his eyes. At the next moment, the lightning diagram in his palm exploded into pieces with a loud bang. The entire starry sky was filled with broken lightning sparks that spread everywhere.
As soon as the lightning diagram was destroyed, a ray of golden light rushed out from it and landed one hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away. It was Ning Fan!
Ning Fan was unscathed!
The entire Zhaoyao Mountain was instantly filled with the sound of people inhaling cold breaths!
"This young man actually managed to block one of Ancestral Master's divine abilities without suffering any damage! Is he really the Immortal Venerate of the Ancient Era?! "
"Even the Flying Thunder Immortal King can't do this, right …?"
"How can this young man be so strong?!"
The crowd of cultivators had no idea. That imitation lightning diagram was powerful because it imitated the Tai Su Lightning Diagram. However, it was also its weakness. To others, once they are trapped in this diagram, it would be extremely difficult for them to get out. However, to Ning Fan who was the successor of Tai Su, this imitation lightning diagram was full of flaws. He could easily find a weak point and use the Tai Su Lightning Diagram to break through it. He would absorb all the lightning power in the imitation lightning diagram and forcefully walk out from it!
Without using the power of the God Vanquishing Shield, Ning Fan would be able to get out from this diagram!
This diagram could neither seal him nor kill him! However, there was one thing that made Ning Fan's expression turn solemn …
At this moment, the lightning star on Ning Fan's glabella was constantly emitting a cold feeling … He had forcefully devoured the lightning power of the imitation lightning diagram and escaped from it. However, within the lightning power that he devoured, there was actually a trace of cold lightning that was hard to be sealed. It was emitting an extremely powerful lightning might!
What kind of lightning is this?!
Even though there was only one trace of lightning, the lightning power it contained was nearly massive and unimaginably pure. If it is used to cultivate the Yin Yang Lightning Technique, it would certainly be a rare item that was comparable to the True Essence of the Builder Wood! Unfortunately, it was too little. If there were more than one hundred traces of lightning, Ning Fan might really be able to cultivate the Yin Yang Lightning Technique with this item!
What surprised Ning Fan even more was that even with his Blood Tribulation Realm cultivation base and the Tai Su Lightning Star, he was actually unable to suppress this mere trace of lightning. There was a possibility that this lightning would break out from his glabella! This was actually a mysterious lightning that even the Tai Su Lightning Star could not completely suppress!
He had never thought that he would be able to obtain such a mysterious Yin lightning after breaking out from the suppression of Great Emperor Chonghe's lightning diagram …
However, at this moment, Ning Fan suddenly had a strange feeling. When he met Great Emperor Chonghe's calm and unfathomable eyes, he was even more convinced of this feeling.
Isn't everything too coincidental …?
Could it be …?
Great Emperor Chonghe did not really want to kill him. All of this was done on purpose by Great Emperor Chonghe …
"This emperor purposely used the imitation lightning diagram to suppress me. Is it possible that he saw through my identity as the successor of Tai Su and purposely gave me a chance to break out of the seal of this diagram? Rumor has it that Great Emperor Chonghe is an expert in imitating the abilities of hundreds of sects and he has created countless of his own abilities in his life. This imitation lightning diagram isn't his strongest ability nor is it his usual method. However, he still used it. Rather than saying that it's a coincidence, it's more like he did it on purpose … "
"This emperor knew that I'm the successor of Tai Su from the very beginning? I only found out after I met him … "
"Did he purposely put this Yin lightning into the lightning diagram so that I can take it away? Or perhaps, the lightning diagram was done on purpose while the Yin lightning was just a coincidence … "
Ning Fan's mind raced and he instantly thought of several possibilities.
One of them was that Great Emperor Chonghe was extremely afraid of Great Emperor Ancient Chaos's ferocious reputation. That was why he did not dare to attack him. However, Ning Fan broke into the Zhaoyao Mountain forcefully and disgraced the mountain. Thus, in order to save face, Great Emperor Chonghe had no choice but to bite the bullet and attack Ning Fan. Even though he did it in an imposing manner, he still left Ning Fan a chance of survival and used the ability that would allow Ning Fan to break out of the seal to suppress Ning Fan …
Another possibility was that Great Emperor Chonghe had other plans. The lightning diagram and the Yin lightning were closely linked and he had another purpose …
Ning Fan was more inclined to the latter.
It was because Great Emperor Chonghe's eyes were just too unfathomable. That kind of unfathomability was not because of his profound cultivation base. Instead, it was because he was shrewd …
He was a Great Emperor of the Eastern Sky who was unscrupulous. Even though his cultivation base was just at the Sixth Tribulation Realm, his eyes were filled with arrogance and overbearingness that went deep into his bones. He was not afraid of Great Emperor Ancient Chaos at all!
He was an old monster who had lived from the ancient times until today. His actions were obviously overbearing. However, the fact that he could survive until today was enough to explain the problem. In this world, the ones who lived the longest were usually not those who had the highest cultivation base. However, if he could live for a long time, he must have something extraordinary about him …
"Rain Immortal Monarch, you are indeed extraordinary. You were able to withstand one of my attacks. From today onwards, I'm afraid that not many Immortal King Realm cultivators in the Eastern Sky will dare to look down on you! Flying Thunder, take out the Lightning Flash Heavenly Mirror and return it to Rain Immortal Monarch! "
Great Emperor Chonghe ordered expressionlessly. No one could tell whether he was happy or angry.
How would Flying Thunder Immortal King dare to be negligent? Even though he was reluctant to give up the Lightning Flash Heavenly Mirror, he could only grit his teeth and take it out and return it to Ning Fan.
The third Lightning Flash Mirror was now in his hands!
Both Wu She and Lei Yu felt indignant as they were injured by Ning Fan. They wanted to ask their old ancestor to help them. However, when they saw Great Emperor Chonghe's gentle gaze, they were so shocked that they did not dare to speak.
That gaze was a warning! It was because he had already promised Ning Fan that if Ning Fan could withstand one of his attacks, he could take the Lightning Flash Mirror and leave. This matter had come to an end. No one could defy his order and escalate the matter further!
Everything else was trivial. Only his order was absolute!
"Rain Sovereign, you have already achieved your goal. You should leave the Flamboyant Mountain as soon as possible! The cultivators of my Flamboyant Mountain do not welcome your arrival! Oh right, help me pass a message to Ancient Chaos. Just say, 'The tallest tree in the forest is destroyed by the wind first while the apes hide in the mountains. Hehe. In the past, the Immortal Sovereign looked down on me. Now, it seems like I'm the one who has lived longer than you. The Immortal Sovereign's judgment seems to be a little poor …' "
Great Emperor Chonghe chuckled. It was obviously a very calm smile but Ning Fan could hear the sarcasm in it …
Ning Fan frowned slightly. Could it be that this Great Emperor Chonghe is acquainted with Great Emperor Ancient Chaos? Is he actually such an ancient figure? However, judging from his tone, this Great Emperor doesn't seem to have a good relationship with Ancient Chaos …
Is the Immortal Sovereign that Great Emperor Chonghe mentioned Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou?
Regarding the message, Ning Fan did not plan to be the messenger. If it's something good, he would not mind doing it. However, he would not say such sarcastic words as he was afraid that it would disgust Great Emperor Ancient Chaos …
"Since Senior has already asked me to leave, I naturally won't stay any longer …"
Ning Fan's voice paused for a moment.
The Lightning Flash Mirror had already been taken back. Due to Great Emperor Chonghe's strange attitude, the Flamboyant Mountain did not fall out with Ning Fan. This result was rather out of Ning Fan's expectation.
The only thing that made Ning Fan uncomfortable was the mysterious Yin lightning on his glabella …
Breaking the lightning diagram and taking away the Yin lightning … For some reason, Ning Fan had a feeling that he had fallen into Great Emperor Chonghe's trap.
This Yin lightning is great. Even though it's not a lot, it can be used to increase the cultivation progress of the Yin Yang Lightning Technique. However, if there's another scheme in this Yin lightning …
During the trip to the Wild Wilderness, Ning Fan was schemed against by Que Shenzi and Yin Mo. It had only been a hundred years but his actions had become even more cautious. It was not that easy to scheme against him!
"… However, before I leave, there's one thing that I must return to Senior!"
Ning Fan suddenly touched his glabella and drew out a Yin lightning. Then, he casually tossed it back to Great Emperor Chonghe.
The entire Flamboyant Mountain was instantly filled with astonishment! Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the Yin lightning was not an ordinary item. It was a good item! They could not understand why Ning Fan would suddenly draw out this lightning and return it to Great Emperor Chonghe … Could it be that this Yin lightning was a compensation given by Old Devil Ning because he was afraid of the reputation of the Flamboyant Mountain? However, Ning Fan said that he was returning it. Could it be that this item originally belonged to Great Emperor Chonghe? However, how did it end up in Ning Fan's hands …
"Farewell!"
Ning Fan cupped his fists at Great Emperor Chonghe and left in a ray of golden light.
Great Emperor Chonghe's expression was still indiscernible. Only after Ning Fan had left for a long time did he let out a cold sneer.
"What a cautious kid. If you really dare to take away this lightning, hehe … What a pity, what a pity … Back then, Ancient Chaos was so cautious that he won the Highest Heaven Dao Fruit that was supposed to belong to me and thus succeeded in his Dao … Ancient Chaos is not stupid, and the disciple he has accepted is also not stupid … Forget it. Even if the Origin Magnetic Yin Lightning can't trap this kid, there are still other opportunities … Or perhaps, I can wait a little longer and wait for that Primal Core Realm old man to make his move and reap the benefits without doing anything …"
…
Only after leaving the Eastern Arrival Star Region did Ning Fan get rid of the feeling of being schemed against.
The trip to the Swaggering Mountain this time could be considered as Ning Fan unveiling a small part of the mysteries of the Eastern Heaven's sovereigns.
He had seen Sen Luo fighting a group of Thearchs alone and had been possessed by the eyeball monster. He had fought with Yin Mo and had even saved a large number of Immortal Thearchs. Unknowingly, he had become arrogant. As his horizons had broadened, he gradually started to look down on Immortal Thearch-Ranked existences.
Reality proved that even a sixth tribulation Immortal Emperor like Great Emperor Chonghe was not to be underestimated. Immortal Emperors, Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings were already on different levels …
In terms of cultivation base, Great Emperor Chonghe was only slightly stronger than a Peak Immortal King. However, it was just a slight difference that Peak Immortal Kings could ignore. Even Sen Luo dared to create chaos in the Eastern Heaven and become enemies with the Eastern Heaven's emperors after he had collected the power of time from the quicksand and made sufficient preparations …
"I can't see through Chonghe … Forget it. I've already gotten the Lightning Flash Mirror back. Let's return to the Extreme Lightning Palace first."
Ning Fan did not spend too much time rushing back to the Extreme Lightning Palace. Although he had caused quite a commotion on the Flamboyant Mountain, it would still take some time for the news to spread in the Eastern Heaven.
Therefore, when Ning Fan returned to the Extreme Lightning Palace, Lan Xiaoqian and the other three women had no idea what kind of commotion he had caused on the Flamboyant Mountain. They only thought that Ning Fan had settled the matter peacefully according to the method they taught him.
"Everyone in the outside world says that Rain Lord is reckless. We were worried that you would cause trouble on the Flamboyant Mountain. Now, it seems like our worries are unnecessary. When it's time to be tolerant, Rain Lord is still quite good at it. Those two kings and six venerables on the Flamboyant Mountain must have given you a lot of grievances. I'm sorry to have made you, the dignified Rain Lord, suffer for us four sisters … "
Lan Xiaoqian and the other four women bowed to him with gratitude.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, was at a loss for words.
He did not seem to have suffered any grievances on the Flamboyant Mountain. Instead, he had severely injured the two Immortal Venerables, Misty Snake and Lei Yu …
If he had to put a point on it, it seemed like Misty Snake and Lei Yu were the ones who suffered more grievances …
"With the Lightning Flash Mirror, Palace Lord can proceed to the final step of the lightning body evolution. Of course, even with the protection of the mirror, the risk is still extremely high …"
The four women all had worried looks on their faces.
As for the immortal loli, she was eating various kinds of thunder fruits without any worries to replenish the lightning power that was constantly being consumed.
Ning Fan was also a little worried about the lightning body evolution of the immortal loli.
Thus, in the following days, Ning Fan and the four women spent almost every day accompanying the immortal loli in her lightning body evolution.
The place where the lightning body evolution took place was the forbidden area of the Extreme Lightning Palace – the Lightning Lightning Pool!
The Lightning Lightning Pool was a forbidden area created by the founder of the Extreme Lightning Palace. The pool was made from immortal materials from all directions. It could gather lightning and transform it into water. Therefore, the water in the pool was formed from lightning.
The water in the pool that was formed from the lightning was extremely domineering. If cultivators below the Immortal Venerable Realm were to enter the pool, they would be directly turned into ashes by the water. They could not withstand the lightning power in the water at all!
This was the difference between their cultivation bases!
When Lan Xiaoqian and the other four women entered the Lightning Lightning Pool, all of them had to be extremely careful. Moreover, they could not get within one thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) of the pool.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, was much better. If he only relied on Jie Xue's cultivation base, he could go five hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) into the center of the pool. If he uses the power of the Tai Su Lightning Diagram, he could go two hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) into the center of the pool.
Two hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) was already a distance that ordinary Immortal Kings could not enter!
With the protection of the God Exterminating Shield's golden light, Ning Fan could directly enter the center of the Lightning Lightning Pool without suffering any injuries!
One should know that the lightning power in the center of the pool was so strong that even some Six Tribulation Great Emperors could not withstand it! The fact that Ning Fan could enter the center of the pool shocked the four women … It seemed like they had underestimated Ning Fan from the very beginning …
Unfortunately, Immortal Loli was even stronger than Ning Fan.
When she was at her peak, she was a dignified Seven Tribulation Immortal Emperor. Even though she had yet to grasp the throne, she had cultivated lightning throughout her life. Moreover, because of her lightning body, she dared to swallow lightning as easily as eating candy.
Along the way to the center of the pool, Immortal Loli did not even try to resist the lightning on purpose. Instead, she let the lightning in the pool refine her delicate skin.
She entered the lightning pool naked while Ning Fan and the other four women were not …
She took off her clothes because she wanted to take a bath and play in the pool …
"Father, aren't you going to take off your clothes?"
"No. You don't need to take off your clothes to evolve your lightning body. Put them on immediately! It's not good to be naked … "Ning Fan's forehead was filled with black lines.
"Why is it not good?! Is it because Father thinks that I don't look good when I'm naked …? "Immortal Loli pouted her little butt with a hurt expression.
"…" Ning Fan was speechless. How should he answer her? Praise my daughter's butt for being beautiful?
"As expected, Father thinks that my butt is ugly …" Immortal Loli felt even more hurt.
"…" Silence. Silence.
"Humph! I don't want to wear any clothes. I love to be naked. Others can't even see it even if they want to. I will show it to Father! "
"…" Fine. Do as you wish. You're just a little brat anyway.
"Hehe. Father, do you want to see other places …" Immortal Loli held her little bunny and spread her legs …
"If you continue to cause trouble, I will leave and let you evolve your lightning body alone!" Ning Fan rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Immortal Loli stuck out her tongue and finally stopped causing trouble. She was really afraid that Ning Fan would not accompany her. She would be scared if she stayed in the center of the pool alone. Because she was scared, she would do something that was out of line and attract her father's attention …
This Lightning Pool left a bad impression on her. It seemed like she had been here many times and every time she came, she would suffer a lot of pain …
"Father, when my lightning body evolves and becomes stronger, I will help you beat up the bad guys!" Only when she thought of this would she regain the courage to evolve her lightning body.
She must become stronger. She must protect her father!
"Alright. I will wait for Xian Xian to help me beat up the bad guys."
Ning Fan patted Immortal Loli's head and transmitted his spirit sense to the four girls who were one thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away.
After that, the four girls activated the Three Lightning Mirrors to protect Immortal Loli while Ning Fan stayed close to her. Once something goes wrong, he would bring Immortal Loli out of the lightning pool.
According to the four girls, the reason why Immortal Loli's lightning body evolved last time was because the evolution failed. She was injured by the lightning power in the pool and turned from an adult to a child …
This time, with Ning Fan's protection, the situation should be much better …
Thus, the long evolution of her lightning body began.
The evolution lasted for three whole months.
In the first month, everything went smoothly.
In the second month, Immortal Loli's body began to turn red. She could not endure the lightning power anymore.
In the third month, she failed to evolve her lightning body!
The evolution of the Nine Revolutions Lightning Body was already difficult to succeed. No one expected Immortal Loli to succeed in one try.
Even though Ning Fan was already mentally prepared, his heart still tightened when he saw Immortal Loli fail the evolution with his own eyes. Her face turned pale and she vomited blood.
"Father, it hurts. It hurts everywhere …"
"…"
Ning Fan did not know what to say. He did not know how to comfort this little girl.
There was not enough time for him to let his imagination run wild. As the evolution of Immortal Loli's lightning body failed, the lightning power in the entire lightning pool suddenly went berserk. With the pool as the center, a lightning storm was formed!
Ning Fan and Immortal Loli were at the center of the lightning storm while Lan Xiaoqian and the other girls were outside of it. When they were blown away by the lightning storm, they immediately spurted out blood and flew out of the lightning pool. Their faces were pale.
Previously, the palace lord was swept out of the Supreme Lightning Palace by this lightning storm and went missing after that!
This time …
Even Lan Xiaoqian who was at the Eternal Seven Tribulations Realm was severely injured by this lightning storm. Now that Ning Fan was at the center of the lightning storm, how could he not know how terrifying it was?
I can't hold back. I can't hold back at all. Otherwise, I won't be able to withstand this lightning storm!
Without saying a word, Ning Fan carried Immortal Loli who was on the verge of death and transformed into the complete form of the God Exterminating Giant. Then, he and Immortal Loli were protected inside the giant's body!
The God Exterminating Giant held the shield with both of its hands and dashed forward. Like a cannonball, it forcefully rushed out of the lightning storm and out of the lightning pool.
Unscathed!
Lan Xiaoqian and the other girls were dumbfounded.
Even a great emperor of the Eternal Seven Tribulations Realm would not be able to remain unscathed under this lightning storm. However, Ning Fan managed to do it!
What kind of ability does this golden armored giant have? What a terrifying defensive power. I've never heard of it before …
"You guys didn't see anything today. Do you understand?!"
Ning Fan released the golden armored giant and instructed the four girls. Obviously, he did not intend to explain more about this giant.
He just looked at Immortal Loli who was on the verge of death in his arms with heartache.
The most difficult part of the evolution of the Nine Revolutions Lightning Body was the ninth revolution. Even with the protection of the Lightning Flash Mirror and Ning Fan's help, the backlash that Immortal Loli received was still not light …
"Father, Xianxian wants to become stronger. I want to help you beat up the bad guys …" Immortal Loli said weakly.
"…"
Ning Fan fell into silence.
The path of cultivation had always been filled with difficulties and dangers. Ning Fan had never thought that exchanging one's life for cultivation was wrong. After all, one must sacrifice before one could gain. One must pay before one could gain.
If this happened to him, he would not feel that there was anything wrong with it. However, when he saw Immortal Loli walking around the gates of hell, he found it somewhat unacceptable …
"Thank the heavens and earth. Even though Palace Lord's evolution failed, her foundation wasn't hurt … Without the Thunder King Seal, it's really rare that her foundation isn't hurt …" The four girls felt extremely fortunate.
However, Ning Fan's heart was still heavy.
In the next few months, Immortal Loli spent all her time recuperating. Every day, Ning Fan would concoct delicious pills for her. Actually, it was not accurate to say that he was concocting pills. He just coated the high-quality pills that he snatched from the Pill Sect with sugar syrup and made them into sugar pills.
"Rain Lord is really good to Palace Lord …" Lan Xiaoqian and the other girls were speechless.
If it wasn't for the fact that Immortal Loli had no breasts and no buttocks now, the four girls would almost think that Ning Fan was being so attentive to her because of her beauty.
Under Ning Fan's care, Immortal Loli's injuries recovered bit by bit. Then, she entered the Lightning Flash Pool again to undergo the evolution of her lightning body.
Then, she failed again …
The lightning storm that was triggered by the failure this time was actually much stronger than the previous time. Even though Ning Fan had the protection of the God Exterminating Shield, he almost failed to protect Immortal Loli!
According to the four girls, the higher the number of failures during the evolution of the lightning body, the stronger the lightning storm that would be triggered would be.
This was not something that could be failed endlessly!
"Unless she has the protection of the Thunder King Seal, there won't be any lightning storm … What a pity …" The four girls sighed bitterly.
If she has the Thunder King Seal, not only would she be able to evolve without any losses, but it would also greatly increase the success rate of the lightning body evolution.
That was a dignified Mid Grade Innate Magic Treasure. In the entire Eastern Heaven, there were only a few of them! Unfortunately, it was actually taken away by Sen Luo …
"Palace Lord, it's already very rare for you to complete the first eight revolutions of your lightning body with your own efforts. Could it be that you really can't get through the ninth revolution …"
Ning Fan did not interrupt them. He just quietly coated the pills with sugar syrup and gave them to Immortal Loli.
Another few months passed. Immortal Loli's injuries were fully healed and she entered the Lightning Flash Pool for the third time.
This time, the Immortal Loli walked into the Lightning Pool with a determined heart.
"Father, even though I'm young, I'm not stupid. I can feel that this might be the last time my lightning body evolves. If I fail, the lightning storm that will be triggered will be even stronger than the previous time … But I have no other choice … The evolution of the Nine Revolutions Lightning Body is unavoidable … "
"I will work hard to evolve. I will strive to succeed and become stronger. Then, I will help father beat up the bad guys …"
"If I fail … Xianxian will be reluctant to part with father …"
The little girl sniffled and her eyes turned red.
She was afraid that she would directly die in the lightning storm this time. If she dies, she will lose her senses. If she dies, she will not have a father anymore …
"Don't talk nonsense. Evolve obediently! This time, you will succeed! "
Ning Fan patted Immortal Loli's little head in annoyance. However, his heart was heavy.
One month passed. Everything was still going smoothly.
Two months passed. Everything was still going smoothly.
Until the end of the third month, everything was still going smoothly. However, at the last moment, there was another change!
At that moment, Ning Fan's eyes suddenly turned blood-red. He vaguely felt that he could see the Heaven's Will at this moment!
There was an ancient saying that everything depends on one's own effort. This time, there was absolutely no mistake in the evolution of her lightning body. Everything was obviously going smoothly!
However, there seemed to be a pair of invisible hands that touched Immortal Loli's fate at the last moment, changing the outcome of her successful evolution!
That invisible hand was none other than the Heaven's Will!
The Heaven's Will would not allow Immortal Loli to successfully evolve her lightning body!
Because if it was not allowed, then no matter how hard you work and how close you are to the end, the Heaven would still block your path at the last moment!
However, Ning Fan did not know that what he saw was not the Heaven's Will but fate!
In this world, there were very few people who could see fate. This had nothing to do with cultivation level. What was needed was aptitude!
Ning Fan was a cultivator at the Second Level of the Heaven Being Realm. Originally, he was qualified to see fate. Today, it was just an opportunity. Due to his anger, he saw the existence of fate!
What is fate?!
If one's fate is exhausted, the Heaven's Path will be cut off and this path will never be able to continue!
If one's fate is exhausted, even if one works hard for a thousand generations, it will only lead to failure and death!
If one's fate is exhausted, there is no way to reverse the situation!
All of a sudden, Ning Fan recalled the words of the Immortal Venerables of the Zhao Yao Mountain.
"My old ancestor has cultivated the Innate Dharma Eye which allows him to see fate. He said that Lan Yunxian's fate is exhausted and it is impossible for her to evolve her lightning body. You won't be able to scare us by using her as a banner!"
That's right. No wonder the cultivators of the Zhao Yao Mountain were not afraid of the Extreme Lightning Palace. It's because Great Emperor Chonghe saw fate …
Because he knew that Xian Xian's evolution would definitely fail, he dared to bully her!
At first, Ning Fan did not know what fate was. At this moment, he vaguely understood it. Did he see fate …? He saw that Immortal Loli's future path had already been cut off by someone. She no longer had a future …
Without a future, she could no longer move forward. Then … she reached the end …
"Hehe. Fate …"
Ning Fan sneered. He carried the dying Immortal Loli and directly transformed into the giant body of the God Destroying Giant!
At the next moment, an overwhelming lightning storm engulfed him. This time, the power of the lightning storm was enough to severely injure a Nine Tribulation Immortal Emperor!
Even if Sha Di were to come here, he would also end up with severe injuries. Even though Ning Fan had the God Destroying Shield to protect himself, it could not completely offset the power of the lightning storm.
The violent wind of the lightning storm broke through the God Destroying Giant's defense. Instead of attacking Ning Fan, it went straight for Immortal Loli.
Despair filled Immortal Loli's eyes. When Ning Fan saw that despair, he felt as if someone was clutching his heart.
"What if I insist on going against the Heaven's Will?!"
"Today, I will protect her. In the future, I will pave a path for her future. Even the Heaven's Will cannot stop me from doing this! I am the only one who can decide her fate! "
Ning Fan hugged Immortal Loli tightly with his left hand. Then, he used his right hand to touch his glabella. The Tai Su Lightning Diagram immediately appeared and madly absorbed the lightning storm that was attacking Immortal Loli.
* Devour! * * Devour! * * Devour! *
Ning Fan's face began to turn abnormally red. A moment later, blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth. The injuries on his body became even more severe.
His lightning cultivation base was not strong enough to absorb such a powerful lightning storm!
His Ancient God Realm cultivation base was only at the Early Shedding Void Realm. The Tai Su Lightning Diagram was considered as a part of his Ancient God Realm cultivation base. Moreover, he had cultivated the Yin Yang Lightning Diagram. It was normal for him to not have enough power.
However, Ning Fan could not accept this logic!
With his current cultivation base, forcefully controlling the Tai Su Lightning Diagram to absorb the lightning storm had already exceeded the lightning diagram's limit. More and more cracks appeared on the lightning diagram. Even the lightning star on his glabella was starting to become illusory.
Ning Fan did not care about this at all. While protecting Immortal Loli with the lightning diagram, he controlled the golden-armored giant to forcefully break out of the circle of lightning storms!
As soon as he broke free from the God Destroying Giant, Ning Fan immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood. His qi fell rapidly and his expression was filled with a hint of unwillingness.
Immortal Loli who was in his arms had already fainted. The lightning storm this time was already so terrifying. Should I try it again next time …?
"Palace Lord … She is fine. Her foundation is not hurt. Young Master Ning, don't be sad." The four ladies comforted Ning Fan when they saw his pale expression.
"I'm not sad. I'm just unwilling to accept it … My strength is already here. It's fine if the Heaven's Will doesn't help me but it still wants to obstruct me. I, Ning Fan, don't ask for the Heaven's Will to be on my side. However, if the Heaven's Will obstructs me, it's a different story! "
I should heal my injuries first!
After that … I can't recklessly proceed with the next round of evolution. Even if I use all of my strength, I won't have the confidence to stop the next lightning storm for Immortal Loli …
Should I increase my strength first?
Or should I ask for help to protect Xian Xian?
At night, Immortal Loli's qi finally stabilized under the care of the four ladies.
Ning Fan stood alone in the night sky of the Supreme Lightning Palace. After sensing that Immortal Loli's qi had stabilized, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, he turned to look at the sky. It was the first time in his life that he felt so cold!
Everything in the world nourishes humans while humans have nothing to thank the Heaven for. Ning Fan had always believed that the Heaven does not owe cultivators anything. Even if the Heaven's Will doesn't favor me, it doesn't matter.
But this time, it was a different matter.
The Heaven's Will shouldn't have purposely cut off Xian Xian's path when she had just completed her evolution …
Even if Xian Xian's immortal qi was depleted, it still wouldn't do!
"Chujiu, He Dui, Ji … It seems like the Rain Immortal Sovereign has encountered some trouble. If that's the case, I have the confidence to make this deal with the Rain Immortal Sovereign …"
A slightly gloomy voice of an elderly man suddenly resounded behind Ning Fan. The person who spoke was an elderly man in green robes.
Ning Fan's eyes immediately turned solemn. "An immortal emperor!"
Moreover, it was not an ordinary immortal emperor but a great emperor of the demon race!
A great emperor of the demon race had actually come to the Four Heavens! If it was in the past, it would be unimaginably difficult. Now, however, the human race and the demon race had reached an agreement for the matter of the ancient passage. The war between the two races had also stopped and their grudges were temporarily put aside. Therefore, if a great emperor of the demon race really wants to come to the Four Heavens, there wouldn't be too many obstacles. However, it wouldn't be easy.
Why is this great emperor of the demon race looking for me?!
Ning Fan scanned the elderly man in green robes with his spirit sense and was instantly shocked.
If he did not sense wrongly, the bloodline of this emperor actually belonged to the same clan as Concubine Tianlan whom he had captured previously!
This is the demon emperor of the Tianlan Phoenix Clan! Could it be that he has come for the seven female phoenixes?!
Ning Fan's vigilance was raised to an unprecedented level!
If the other party really came for this purpose …
However, he mentioned the word 'deal' in his previous words …
"My daughter's life is in your hands. Your daughter's life is in my hands. This old man wants to make a deal with you! "
The elderly man's expression became less gloomy. With a flip of his hand, he took out a purple seal that was enshrouded in lightning!
"This Thunder King Seal is something that I have spent a great deal of effort to locate and retrieve from the depths of the Realm River! You must have it! "
Ning Fan's eyes widened in shock.
The Thunder King Seal that the Extreme Lightning Palace could not find after much effort was actually in the hands of this demon emperor!
Could it be that the deal that this emperor is talking about is exchanging this Thunder King Seal for my daughter …?
Only then did Ning Fan notice that even though the elderly man in green robes was a dignified demon emperor, his breath was weak and his qi of death soared to the sky. He could not even exert half of his cultivation base. It seemed like he was already not far from death.
"This emperor isn't confident that he can defeat me with his weak body. That's why he chose to make a deal with me …" Ning Fan thought to himself.
The elderly man in green robes seemed to be very good at reading people's expressions. He answered. "It's not because I'm not strong enough that I chose to make a deal with you. It's because of this deal that I forcefully barged into the depths of the Realm River, which resulted in my severe injuries … My clan is facing a great calamity but I don't even know it. I just want to find a way out for my daughter … Even though my death is approaching, it has nothing to do with my injuries.
The elderly man in green robes sighed and directly handed the Thunder King Seal to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan was startled.
"I, Phoenix Emperor Chong Ming, can calculate the heavens above and the earth below. I can calculate all the human relationships in the world. Even though you and I have never met before, I have been scheming against you for a long time. However, I didn't know that I was scheming against you. I just calculated that if my daughter wants to survive, she would need to meet a person … I don't know who that person is. I can only calculate that that person will cause an unforeseen event in the Wild World. After calculating the time, I let my daughter go to the Wild World … After that, she was captured by you. I have schemed against you before. I know your personality and your way of doing things. I even know some of your secrets … "
Seeing that Ning Fan was still on guard, Phoenix Emperor Chong Ming sighed softly. He flipped his hand and took out a wine gourd made of flames. He pulled out the stopper and drank a mouthful of wine before passing it to Ning Fan.
"This is the wine brewed from my father's Phoenix Soul Fruit. There are only a hundred drops of it in this world. I have always been reluctant to drink it. From now on, I will give it to you as a gift. I am just an old man who is about to die. Is it worth it for you to be so afraid of me? According to your personality, shouldn't you do something for me after taking my Thunder King Seal?! "
This person really understood Ning Fan's personality!
Ning Fan frowned slightly but still kept the Thunder King Seal …
This person came at the right time. Just as the Immortal Loli escaped from death, this person appeared right after and took out the Thunder King Seal …
Is everything within this person's calculations?
From the moment his daughter was captured to the failure of the Immortal Immortal Lightning Body's evolution … From Ning Fan's personality to his current location … If everything is within this person's calculations, isn't he just too terrifying?!
"Don't worry. Even though I can divine the happenings of heaven and earth, the price I have to pay is definitely beyond your imagination. Now that my fate has been exhausted, it is one of the prices I have to pay … Besides, in the Illusory Dream World, there is no one who can surpass me in this aspect because what I use is not an ordinary divination technique. Have you heard of the Three Lives Technique? "
Seeing that Ning Fan did not accept his wine, Phoenix Emperor Chong Ming drank another mouthful of wine. His eyes were filled with sorrow and worry.
What he was worried about was not only his daughter but also the millions of phoenix cultivators and the living beings in the Heavenly Demon World …
"Do you know that this world will face a great calamity soon … Do you know what I have foreseen with the Three Lives Technique …?"
Ning Fan's expression did not change but his heart was filled with surprise.
The Three Life Art, wasn't that the highest divine ability of the Nalan Zi Clan?! It was a secret technique of the Purple Cuckoo Race, and even among the Purple Cuckoo Race's Demon Cultivators, not many knew of it. This Phoenix Emperor Chong Ming was from another race, how could he know it …
What was the calamity of heaven and earth referring to?
"You don't need to look at me. I am also unable to calculate the origin of the calamity. I can only calculate one thing. This matter is related to the Ancient Great Devil that had disappeared in the past … The Four Heavens will be isolated, and there will be a great battle in the Northern Heavens … I am not from the orthodox Purple Cuckoo Clan. What I can calculate is not much …"
Ning Fan's heart skipped a beat.
Why did the words of Phoenix Emperor Chong Ming sound so similar to Nalan Zi's divination?
"I saw the future, the terrifying future … The Four Heavens will be isolated and there will be a great war in the Northern Heaven … After that, the Spirit King will die, he will die in the hands of the Western Demonic Ancestor … Ling Er who was eaten by the Spirit King will also die …"
"Save Ling 'er, she is my sister! She could not die! She is still waiting for me to save her! '
Could it be that a catastrophe was really going to befall the world?
The Ancient Great Devil … The Ancient Great Devil … Is this related to the Ancient Great Devil that descended upon the Divine Tomb and attacked the Ancient Chaos Era?!
"Senior, since you have given me the Thunder King Seal, I wonder what do you need me to do? As long as it does not go against my principles, I will do my best. "
"What I ask for will certainly not go against your principles. I want you to agree to three of my requests. With these three requests, I will exchange for this Thunder King Seal! Of course, this old man has other benefits for you. This way, after this old man dies, I will have no regrets … "(To be continued)
