Chapter 1213: Taiji Generates Two Instruments!
When all self-protection limits of the body are removed, Ning Fan, at this moment, feels an unprecedented strength, but also a strong discomfort.
The upper limits of strength, spirit sense, and mana flow speed, all suddenly surge several times over!
The veins on his face swell, making Ning Fan look somewhat fierce at first glance!
The heart of the ancient god beats violently at a frequency of six or seven times per breath, as if it could explode at any moment!
The blood inside his body, influenced by the Yin and Yang energies, becomes a breached river, colliding within the bloodstream and losing control!
"Senior, is it these Yin and Yang energies you used to remove the protection limits in my body? I never knew that Yin and Yang energies could be used in this way..." Ning Fan remarked unexpectedly.
"Hehe, there are many things you don’t know. How does it feel to have your limits fully lifted?" the All-Knowing Elder asked with a smile.
"Very strong! Although my cultivation hasn’t changed at all, my strength has risen to the limit that my current cultivation can unleash."
"I’m not asking whether you’ve become stronger, I can see with my eyes to determine how much your aura has surged. What I’m asking is if the side effects on your body are intense."
"It’s alright."
Ning Fan feels like an inflating ball; his Divine Spirit Body’s strength is extremely high, allowing the ball to hold more air without bursting easily.
"Do you see that soil figure?"
The All-Knowing Elder suddenly points to a distant Yellow Earth Giant.
Ning Fan is currently in a space crafted by the All-Knowing Elder, specifically for cultivation practice, with Yellow Earth Giants towering everywhere in the realm.
These Yellow Earth Giants are not living entities; their appearance is like mud statues, serving much like targets. The yellow earth is not ordinary material but a type of True World Immortal Material called Hard Shell Mud. This Hard Shell Mud is extremely hard but cannot conduct mana, thus it cannot be used in refining tools or puppets. Cultivators in the True Realm often use this Hard Shell Mud to make earth figures for practice targets.
"I see it," Ning Fan replied.
"This earth figure is made from Hard Shell Mud; though lifeless, its sturdiness is renowned in the True Realm; moreover, the greater the size of the mud figure formed from the unique fusion properties of Hard Shell Mud, the more solid its defense becomes. A gigantic mud figure of a million feet can virtually take a Quasi-Saint Divine Ability head-on without a scratch. Try it; see if with your current strength you can smash a million-foot mud figure with one punch," the All-Knowing Elder said.
Can he do it? Ning Fan isn’t certain. After all, this is his first time opening his body’s limits to the maximum, and he doesn’t know how much power he can unleash in this state.
Cross Halo, Activate!
Eternal True Body, Activate!
Ning Fan transforms into a body of golden flames, dashing toward the Yellow Earth Giant like a golden rainbow, then unleashing a punch.
This punch uses no Divine Skills, yet even so, the force exploded is ten times greater than his usual punch!
This ordinary punch nearly equals to his usual Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strike!
Such an astonishing punch hits the Yellow Earth Giant, only causing the giant to shake violently. Moments later, the giant stops shaking, and remarkably, Ning Fan left not the slightest mark on its surface.
On the contrary, Ning Fan’s fist gets rebounded by the giant after the impact, shattering his knuckles, with blood streaming from his palm.
No! The knuckles are shattered not just by the simple rebound effect, otherwise, Ning Fan would have endured numerous severe injuries when using the Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strike before.
This isn’t just recoil; it’s... backlash!
This backlash isn’t caused by external forces but by internal damage within Ning Fan’s body! His ordinary punch had power comparable to his usual Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strike, and such a vast increase in power naturally comes with a price; that price being his body unable to withstand the explosive force at that moment, resulting in backlash injuries!
This is precisely why there are self-protection limits within a cultivator’s body!
Releasing the limits is an act of harming a thousand enemies while damaging oneself by eight hundred, a means of fighting life for life!
"No, no! You were still holding back with that punch; no matter what, you instinctively retained your strength. Your physical limits have opened, but the psychological ones haven’t! Are you afraid of getting hurt? Although I told you to retain some strength, I didn’t tell you not to use your full strength at all. Was that punch just now really your full power? I can help remove the physical limits, but releasing the mental restraint requires you to do it yourself. Was there ever a moment in your life when you could not admit defeat, could not bow your head?" the All-Knowing Elder asks with a frown.
"There is..."
"Is there any great enemy you must kill? Is there anyone whose life you’re willing to protect?"
"There is..."
"Recall your weakest, most despairing moment, and regard this Yellow Earth Giant as the foe who made you despair. Use all your might to destroy it!"
"But senior just advised me to hold my strength..."
"Quick! Kill Hongjun! He’s gesturing for me to come, kill him!" The All-Knowing Elder went mad, pointing at the distant Yellow Earth Giant, and firmly ordered Ning Fan to smash it.
Sigh...
Facing just a Yellow Earth Giant, Ning Fan finds it somewhat hard to go mad, yet, to prevent the All-Knowing from continuing his madness, he decides to fulfill the All-Knowing’s wish and shatter the Yellow Earth Giant.
Closing his eyes, taking a deep breath, and upon opening them again, Ning Fan’s gaze becomes frigid, looking at that earth figure as if it were a great enemy.
Then, he punches the Yellow Earth Giant again, this time not with an ordinary punch force, but with... the Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strike!
In this current limit state, an ordinary punch of his amounts to his usual Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strike; using the Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strike now, the power is even more terrifying, nearly equal to what eight hundred consecutive strikes could achieve before!
As the punch’s force erupts, a phantom of a devil mountain appears between heaven and earth, then collapses!
It’s not just any mountain collapse, but a volcanic eruption from the inside out!
Boom!
Ning Fan’s punch finally creates a few cobweb-like cracks on the Yellow Earth Giant.
This strike’s excessive force certainly makes the backlash even heavier than the previous punch, shattering Ning Fan’s entire fist bone!
"Even to stop the All-Knowing Senior from going mad, the cost is too great..." Ning Fan smiles wryly, planning to heal the fist bone through self-recovery methods; yet the All-Knowing Elder acts first, healing him.
"Four Symbols Present! Water Immortal Ding, step forth!"
As the All-Knowing Elder mutters these words, Yin and Yang energies suddenly swirl around him.
The Yin and Yang energies sometimes rise and sometimes fall, ultimately transforming into boundless lakes and seas, upon which the All-Knowing Elder stands. At this moment, under the influence of the Yin and Yang energies, his appearance changes drastically, turning into a six or seven-year-old child.
That child with a topknot looks very much like the All-Knowing Elder, remarkably like a miniature, younger version of him.
The only difference was that when the All-Knowing Elder appeared old and frail, he was merely a Nascent Soul cultivator. However, after transforming into a child, his cultivation became so profound that even Ning Fan could not discern its depth!
"A Saint!"
Ning Fan’s expression changed. Although he couldn’t perceive the exact depth of the child’s omniscience, he could sense that the child’s aura was far more grand and vast than the Ant Lord at his peak in the dream realm!
Stronger than a Saint, could it be a Saint indeed!
"Wrong, I’ll say it again, I am not a Saint, just a mere little Nascent Soul. However, I am different from ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators. For forty-four kalpas, I have remained in the Nascent Soul stage. From ancient times to the present, no one has surpassed my duration at Nascent Soul. If not, I wouldn’t dare claim to be the foremost Nascent Soul of the ages." The child omniscient explained.
Forty-four, just one more than forty-three...
Upon hearing these words, Ning Fan’s first reaction wasn’t shock at the profound cultivation of the All-Knowing Elder, but rather a focus on seemingly insignificant details.
If an ordinary person mentioned forty-four, he wouldn’t care, as the number is too common to offer any insight.
But the All-Knowing’s presence carried karmic ties with him, so Ning Fan viewed the forty-four kalpas of reincarnation just like he had once seen the forty-two volcanoes of the Black Demon Sect.
It was as if he received an epiphany of spiritual blessing, though he only partially comprehended it and couldn’t express it in words.
He recalled his first encounter upon arriving at the primitive wilderness. He remembered that when he first got there, it had forty-two domains, and the Heavenly Dao Spirit Black Demon there was deeply tied to his karma as well.
At the time, he didn’t ponder why the wilderness had precisely forty-two domains.
But now, he would consider further—forty-two, forty-three, forty-four. These similar numbers seemed to have karma embedded within...
Thus, upon seeing this karma, Ning Fan’s mind drifted away, so much so that he didn’t catch what the All-Knowing Elder said next.
"...Young Friend Ning! Did you hear what I just said? If you did, give me a response, will you?" the child omniscient said displeased.
"I apologize. Please, Senior, could you repeat it?"
"I just said, this Water Immortal form of mine excels at healing. As long as the Yin and Yang Qi between heaven and earth remains, I can keep you alive! So don’t fear Hongjun, smash him! Break his bones, cripple him! With me supporting you from behind, healing! Why are you afraid, of this or that!"
Then, with a pinch of his sword fingers, the child omniscient transformed the Yin and Yang Qi in heaven and earth into starlight that showered down.
It seemed like Demon Starfall, yet not Demon Starfall. The only thing Ning Fan knew was that as the Yin and Yang Qi rained down, his shattered fist bones healed instantly!
Ning Fan originally thought the Heavenly Emperor’s Black Star Technique was already formidable, but this child omniscient’s Yin and Yang Qi healing technique seemed not inferior at all!
With the child omniscient providing treatment nearby, Ning Fan naturally didn’t need to worry about rebound injuries anymore. He executed even more Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strikes, and the cracks on the Yellow Earth Giant grew more numerous and dense like a web.
The more consecutive Ancient Demon Mountain-Shattering Strikes, the stronger their power, but since Ning Fan’s current strength was limitless, the rebound consequences naturally intensified with each punch.
At one thousand consecutive strikes, every punch would destroy an arm!
At three thousand consecutive strikes, every blow would cost him half his body!
At six thousand consecutive strikes, every hit would destroy his entire physical form, leaving only his Spirit to survive!
At nine thousand consecutive strikes, every punch would wipe out most of his Spirit!
Fighting to the limit was exceedingly dangerous! Without the child omniscient’s reverse healing art assisting, Ning Fan wouldn’t have achieved nine thousand consecutive strikes; he might have succumbed to the accumulated injuries and died after just one or two hundred strikes from recoil!
When Ning Fan struck the nine thousandth consecutive blow, even he was shocked by the power of his punch at that moment!
What kind of world-destroying blow was this!
Such power that many Second-Grade Quasi-Saints couldn’t unleash!
The immensely tough Yellow Earth Giant, even it, was blown apart by Ning Fan’s punch.
Seeing this, the child omniscient laughed up to the sky, as if truly witnessing Ning Fan slay Hongjun, yet after laughing, his gaze turned vacant again. He scratched his child’s topknot, puzzled as to why he was laughing.
Then, noticing the shattered Yellow Earth Giant, he exclaimed in shock, "Are you crazy! Why would you risk your life against just a clay figure! Didn’t I say to hold back when hitting! Attacks that can shatter a clay figure, what terrifying recoil must they have! If you were directly crushed by the recoil, wouldn’t it be an unjust death!"
"..." Ning Fan was speechless; wasn’t it you who insisted I shatter the clay figure? Why must I take the blame every time your memory lapses, do we have a grudge?
"Speaking of which, why did I even manifest the Four Symbols, I don’t remember it at all..." the child omniscient said in a daze.
"I understand the essence now. Senior, you’ve mentioned the Four Symbols twice consecutively, what exactly is this Four Symbols?" Ning Fan deactivated his Eternal True Body and Cross Halo, returning to the child omniscient’s side to ask.
"The Four Symbols are... What were they again, I don’t remember..." indeed, the omniscient’s memory was unreliable.
After a moment of confusion, the omniscient suddenly exclaimed, "Wait! Wait a moment! Let me think! What did you say just now! Did you comprehend the essence I spoke of just in the short span of destroying the clay figure? That’s less than the time it takes for incense to burn!"
"Yes."
"You tell me, what is the essence I speak of! In my day, understanding the essence took me five hundred years, even so, I was considered a prodigy throughout the Liangyi Sect. If you truly comprehended the essence within an incense stick’s time, wouldn’t your potential be a thousand times mine? That’s impossible!"
Ning Fan did not answer but merely smiled slightly. He pointed his fingers like a sword and wrote two giant characters on the lake surface transformed by the omniscient, ripples spread, yet the words persisted without disappearing.
[Taiji]
Wu Ji produces Taiji, Taiji produces Two Instruments, Two Instruments produce Four Symbols. This line of True Words often appears in cultivation scriptures.
The All-Knowing Elder was from the Liangyi Sect, constantly mentioned the term essence, and mentioned the Four Symbols, naturally leading Ning Fan to associate it with concepts like Taiji, Wu Ji, and such Daoist doctrines.
This wasn’t because he had extraordinary comprehension, but the chaotic clues given by the All-Knowing Elder in his mad state were simply too many.
Previously, seeing this line in scriptures, Ning Fan also felt confused about what Taiji, Wu Ji were, but today, he seemed to understand a bit.
Taiji refers to the extreme of a cultivator!
Wu Ji is the extreme of Taiji!
And above Wu Ji is once again no Wu Ji, meaning the path of cultivation has no ultimate limit or end.
Should anyone truly reach the end of Wu Ji, allowing it to have a beginning and an end, then that person will likely possess the power to rival Saints and could aspire to fight the Fourth Step Heaven-Opening Reverse Saint.
Perhaps the founding ancestor of the Liangyi Sect, the Liangyi Sage, could achieve this, or perhaps not, Ning Fan hadn’t met the Liangyi Sage and didn’t care to inquire about such secrets.
"You actually understood, truly understood..." the omniscient received a severe blow. Ning Fan had accomplished in one incense stick’s time what he took five hundred years to grasp, making him for the first time in his life doubt whether he might be somewhat foolish.
"No, actually I don’t really understand..."
"Young Friend Ning, don’t be modest, there’s no need to worry about my feelings. I know you’re smarter than me, your mind works better, that’s why Master valued you more than me back then, sigh..." The All-Knowing Elder muttered nonsense again, saying a bit, forgetting a bit, and by the time he finished babbling on, he didn’t even remember what he had said.
"What were we just... talking about? Wait! Hold on! Let me catch a breath! You actually shattered the earthen figure! Do you have to be so crazy, so desperately intense, this is just a practice, not a life-or-death struggle! Do you have to make me worry that you’ll die from backlash!"
"..." Ning Fan was silent. Indeed, he couldn’t have an enjoyable conversation with the All-Knowing Elder.
"Oh, right, you just asked me what the Four Symbols are? Really want to know?" The topic subtly returned to the main track, with a big leap.
"Yes."
"Have you heard of this saying? The Limitless gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to Two Instruments, Two Instruments give birth to Four Symbols..."
"I’ve heard it."
"Eh, who wrote this Taiji on the water’s surface, the handwriting is so ugly! It looks like it was scratched by a dog and gnawed by a crane!"
"..."
"Speaking of Taiji, I must talk about Two Instruments; the so-called Taiji is exactly what I want to teach you. Previously, I removed all restrictions on your body to push you to your limits, which is indeed extreme, but far from Taiji. Taiji has both creation and destruction directions and cannot be called Taiji without the harmony of Yin and Yang. Within creation, there is destruction; within destruction, there is creation; only then it is the ultimate cultivation. What you just experienced was the Taiji Life Realm driven by Yin and Yang Qi, it’s purely a life realm without any restrictions from the destruction realm. Next, I will let you experience the destruction realm." The topic surprisingly came back again.
The Child All-Knowing let out a command, a vast amount of Yin and Yang Qi floated around him.
"Four Symbols Present! Fire Devil Yi, step forward!"
Under the influence of Yin and Yang Qi, the appearance of the Child All-Knowing changed, and the surrounding terrain also changed.
The lake disappeared, replaced by a sea of fire, and the Child All-Knowing transformed into a middle-aged cultivator, standing in the fire sea.
The middle-aged All-Knowing was entirely made of flames, a complete fire figure; his appearance was still similar to All-Knowing, with awe-inspiring cultivation, giving Ning Fan a feeling of a Saint.
Yet, peculiarly, All-Knowing claimed he wasn’t a Saint, just a Nascent Soul, and considering his memory chaos, Ning Fan really couldn’t believe a Nascent Soul could cultivate to a level greater than a Saint.
"Who are you! Who am I!" All-Knowing went even more insane; this time he forgot who Ning Fan was, even who he himself was.
"..." Ning Fan was truly at a loss for words.
"Hehe, I’m just joking with you. Actually, I recognize you, you’re my junior brother."
"..." Joking, really, you’re so idle.
"You’re my junior brother. I’m Han... Han what was it? Never mind, not important, let’s continue talking about the Taiji Annihilation Realm. You can’t yet enter the Taiji Life and Death Realm by yourself, so I will assist you as before, forcing you into the destruction realm. The destruction realm is easy to understand, it’s the opposite of the life realm. The life realm can fully trigger your potential, while the destruction realm does the opposite, causing your power to return to nothingness..."
With the demonstration of All-Knowing Elder’s divine skills, a surge of Yin and Yang Qi rushed over, reversing the life realm within Ning Fan’s body into the destruction realm.
Ning Fan in the destruction realm was completely opposite of the life realm status!
All upper limits of power, spirit sense, mana flow speed shrank to less than a ten-thousandth in this moment!
His face showed lifelessness, lacking energy, as if he hadn’t slept in eighty thousand years!
The heart of the Fiendgod slow-heartedly beat once after dozens of breaths, Ning Fan’s aura became extremely long and almost turtle-paced!
The blood within him, under the influence of Yin and Yang Qi, seemed coagulated and nearly ceased flowing!
Weak! Too weak!
Under the destruction realm, Ning Fan could feel his weakness. The life realm allowed him to possess the power to shatter the Yellow Earth Giant, while the destruction realm made him too weak to even fight Crossing Truth cultivators.
Though extremely weak in the destruction realm, Ning Fan instead felt certain aspects that were previously indiscernible strengthened. Life and death, being each other’s inverse, in the life realm though he was powerful, every punch was life-threatening and backlashing; if the destruction realm is the opposite, perhaps...
Before Ning Fan could make guesses, Fire Figure All-Knowing already wielded a treasure sword and slashed towards Ning Fan!
Innate Superior Treasure Sword, Two Instruments Guardian Yang Sword!
Turns out it’s a top grade Magical Treasure, why is All-Knowing Senior trying to kill me!
Wait, wasn’t this sword broken, when was it repaired? Can top grade magical treasures be so easily repaired after being destroyed? Does this relate to the low durability of this sword...
Ning Fan instinctively wanted to dodge All-Knowing’s attack, but All-Knowing uttered one sentence, causing him to hold back the thought of dodging.
"Trust me!"
Of course, Ning Fan trusted the All-Knowing Elder deeply, a trust rooted deep in his bones, from unknown origins, so despite All-Knowing making a move to kill him, he did not dodge.
This was a strike of an innate magical treasure, and the person wielding it was even more powerful than Ant Lord, the fire figure All-Knowing.
Such a sword strike, feared enough to instantly obliterate ancient great cultivators, but strangely, this sword strike landed onto Ning Fan and felt like it was slashing a black hole, all power was consumed and vanished like nothingness.
Ning Fan remained unharmed!
He stood still, took the innate superior sword strike of a Saint without a scratch! How powerful the Taiji Destruction Realm is!
Life realm surging in strength!
Endless existence in the destruction realm!
If there’s life in death, and death in life, then not only can strength surge, but endless existence can also be achieved, that is the ultimate cultivation... the Taiji Life and Death Realm!
All-Knowing, unbelievably, wanted to pass down such a terrifying absolute skill!
"Who was it! Who slashed you with a sword! I’ll kill them, kill them!" All-Knowing forgot again and went insane once more.
"Eh, Young Friend Ning, you actually entered the Taiji Destruction Realm by yourself? This is unreasonable, your Yin and Yang Qi within clearly isn’t enough to achieve this, how could you do so... Could it be your extraordinary talent doesn’t require Yin and Yang Qi to achieve this?" All-Knowing continued to act foolishly.
"...Senior, it was you who slashed me."
"Hahaha! Young Friend Ning, you do love to joke, why would I slash you for no reason, you’re not the enemy who killed my father." All-Knowing Elder truly didn’t remember.
"...Forget it, Senior, I’ve already understood what you want to pass to me. Understanding is one thing, but ultimately I can’t enter the Taiji Life and Death Realm with my own capabilities, the amount of Yin and Yang Qi needed is immense, I wonder how many years it would take to cultivate such an amount of Yin and Yang Qi." Ning Fan sighed.
"Don’t worry! Brother will take you to kick ass in the sect, logically Master should take you, but who exactly is Master really, alas, I can’t recall..."
"Kicking the Sect?" Ning Fan’s spirit trembled slightly. These simple words touched something deep within him.
"Yes, Kicking the Sect! It’s a tradition of our Liangyi Sect! Come on, let’s leave Earth Abyss and take a trip to Northern Heaven!"
"But doesn’t Senior have to suppress the Ant Lord? Last time I heard, it seemed like you couldn’t leave Earth Abyss, otherwise the Ant Lord would awaken."
"Ah, I accidentally forgot about that. What should I do? If Senior Brother can’t personally lead you to kick the sect, then I’ll have to send someone else. Who should I send? Brother Elephant is an important component in Yang Sealing, Brother Donkey is still broken and hasn’t been fixed, Brother Eagle’s cultivation is too weak, Brother Pineapple was eaten by me a few days ago, Brother Pufferfish is at a crucial moment of poison refining, and Mud Girl’s curse was just lifted, so she’s unreliable... It seems Junior Brother, you’ll have to go alone. Here, take this list. Kick every one of the sects listed, and rob all the Immortal Materials! Not a single one can be missing! Here, let me imprint a blood handprint on this list. Do you know what this handprint is? It’s called the Name Submittal Blood Oath Command. If you don’t kick all these sects, Senior Brother will violate the blood oath and explode to death! To prevent that, you have to kick every single sect listed and seize all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures..."
Ning Fan was speechless!
What kind of Senior Brother threatens their Junior Brother’s life to make them steal!
He had encountered many demons and idiots and had extensive experience dealing with such characters, but he was at a loss with the All-Knowing Elder. It wasn’t that he didn’t know how to handle this idiot, but that he couldn’t bring himself to be ruthless to this person, making many of his methods useless.
What a joke!
Why would he, in his right mind, have to go and plunder the Northern Heaven sects just to save a strange old man’s life?
Why should he offend all of Northern Heaven on the eve before the second round of the Great Northern Heaven Tournament?
Does he have a problem?
"What! Who used my hand to press the Name Submittal Blood Oath on this list? Was it Hongjun? You despicable bald thief, the top figure of the Profound Sect, how dare you scheme against a Nascent Soul junior like me without considering any ties of camaraderie? Hongjun, you are unworthy as a Reverse Saint Master!"
"..." Ning Fan sighed and rubbed his forehead, so this time it’s his turn to take the blame for Ancestor Hongjun.
Why does he feel a bit gleeful and want to laugh?
"Junior Brother, save me! Hongjun wants to scheme me to death. You can’t just stand by and watch, right? Go plundering, go save your Senior Brother’s life!" All-Knowing pleaded tearfully.
"You win..."
Ning Fan sighed heavily, took the list, and his figure flickered as he flew out of the Earth Abyss.
There was certainly nothing wrong with his orientation, so is this the first time he’s risking everything for a man? How awkward.
As soon as he flew out of Earth Abyss, dozens of Light Clan cultivators surrounded him. Upon seeing that Ning Fan’s appearance matched the portrait on a wanted poster, their expressions turned hostile!
"Capture him! This is the person the Water Sect wants to catch!"
Ning Fan’s eyes turned cold.
Among the Light Clan cultivators surrounding him were female cultivators. He used the Mind Reading Technique to gather some information directly from the hearts of these female cultivators.
It turned out, while he foolishly stayed in Earth Abyss doing research for the All-Knowing Elder, Fu Su Chen, the Water Sect Disciple, had placed a bounty on him across the entire Northern Heaven!
"Kill the person in the painting, and you will get three Water Sect promises!"
Fu Su Chen didn’t tell the outside world who Ning Fan was. It didn’t matter!
He didn’t offer any extra reward, only the bait of three Water Sect promises, yet this was more enticing than any bounty!
What do three Water Sect promises mean?
Non-Immortal Emperor, can request the help of the Water Sect Ancestor to achieve an emperor’s position!
Non-Quasi-Saint, can request assistance to break through the Quasi-Saint bottleneck!
Even a First Order Quasi-Saint can ask something of the Water Sect, for after all, the Water Sect’s ancestor is a Second-Grade Quasi-Saint, and a very strong one at that!
As long as Ning Fan, this nobody, is killed, one can obtain three Water Sect promises. Such great rewards naturally attract brave men willing to besiege Ning Fan.
Ning Fan glanced at the list provided by the All-Knowing Elder. How coincidental, the Light Clan is also on the plundering list!
If before, Ning Fan had hesitated about unprovoked robbery, now he had no qualms!
Why should others be allowed to bully him without him retaliating!
Since the Light Clan provoked him first, they would have to pay the price! Of course, considering the Light Clan sent their strongest to defend the Boundary River for Northern Heaven’s survival, Ning Fan could go easy on them, saving some face for all the heroes; but necessary deterrence was still essential! Otherwise, wouldn’t everyone in Northern Heaven consider him, Ning Fan, as weak and easy to bully?
Unfortunately, his Dao is precisely to respond strength with strength, tough meets tough. If they wish to kill him, he will retaliate with equally bloody means! Such is his sharpness, to seek revenge for every grievance!
"Today, I, Ning Fan, step into the Light Clan to take one item! Those who block my way, get lost!"
With a devilish roar from Ning Fan, the Light Clan cultivators initially intending to capture him were immediately shaken, vomiting blood and retreating wildly. Their physical bodies collapsed under the retreat, leaving only their spirits unharmed.
This was his mercy. If Ning Fan willed, the might of this roar could have instantly killed half of the low-level Light Clan cultivators!
This was a roar containing the mana of 17,000 Calamities!
As the roar echoed, immediately the Light Clan’s domain began to experience landslides and earthquakes. Numerous Light Clan elders who were in seclusion for bitter cultivation broke through their retreats, their faces furious.
Those elders naturally sensed that the enemy was a ’Quasi-Saint’ of 17,000 Calamities, but so what!
How can the mighty Secret Clan be easily provoked by just any Decline Quasi-Saint!
"This old man would like to see which reckless Dream Realm ant dares to cause trouble for my Light Clan!"
From the depths of the Light Clan, a coffin suddenly flew out, and a skeletal, glowing elder emerged from the coffin.
This was a quiasi-saint of 11,000 Calamities. Although his cultivation wasn’t the highest, he was extremely senior, surviving from the Zi Dou Immortal Domain to the present.
Due to hiding in the Heaven Evading Coffin, this Light Clan Quasi-Saint could not join the Boundary River battlefield and was left to guard the clan.
He assumed that guarding would mean secluded cultivation, never expecting someone would be foolish enough to challenge the Light Clan’s dignity. Haha, truly reckless!
"This old man won’t ask who you are, only this—will you surrender obediently, or shall I beat you until you can’t move and then capture you?" the glowing elder arrogantly declared.
He, after all, is an honored Quasi-Saint of the Secret Clan!
Why should he be polite to an insignificant, nameless Decline Quasi-Saint!
