Chapter 337.1 (1/2)

This Elder Sister Is Lu Bei

The Realm Beast’s roar revealed the severity of his injuries which had not stopped getting worse. The current state of his injuries had really shocked each of the top talents from the Northern Heaven who were in the Void Realm outside the Star Palace.

They had no idea what had happened inside the Star Palace. They only knew that during the process of hunting Ning Fan down, the Realm Beast kept getting hurt!

Each of the top talents who were usually arrogant had now etched the name of a single person into their very minds.

Lu Bei!

“If Lu Bei has achieved ascension, he is definitely not the one that we, Divine Transformation Realm experts, can mess with!” This thought rapidly overwhelmed each of the top talents’ hearts.

In the Zi Wei Black Palace Formation, Ning Fan was continuously performing teleportation. Since the golden flame chariot had been greatly damaged, he now could only depend on his Fu Li’s wings to bring all the women with him to flee.

For every ten thousand li* (500 m per li) they travelled, there would be seven stone slates where one only had one-seventh chance of surviving when going through it.

Initially, Ning Fan still required the help of the guide given by Wei Xuan to get through paths of the formation.

However, after a while, he remembered almost the entire layout of the formation eyes of this Zi Wei Black Palace Formation in his heart.

It was as if there was a chess board with criss-crossing purple rays appearing in his heart. At the intersection points on the chess board, there were forty-nine thousand black and white chess pieces.

This chessboard and the chess pieces were an Immortal Void Realm Formation Technique - the formation diagram of the Zi Wei Black Palace Formation. However, along their escape route, nearly seventy percent of it had already been comprehended by Ning Fan.

“After I get through this and carefully study this formation, it won’t take long for me to comprehend the profoundness of the formation. As long as I have a strong enough cultivation level and sufficient materials, it won’t be difficult for me to establish this formation myself!”

This idea only momentarily rose within Ning Fan’s heart and he cast it to the back of his mind afterwards.

It’s not the right time to comprehend the Zi Wei Black Palace Formation. Our utmost priority for the current moment is to escape from the Realm Beast as far as possible!

Again and again, he performed Soul Extraction and teleported without stopping. Despite that, the sense of danger was getting heavier and heavier within his heart.

“Lu Bei, I can’t fly anymore…” Xi Ran’s demon power was nearly used up while the other women’s magic powers were also severely depleted.

They were not Ning Fan and they did not have a pair of monstrous wings like his Fu Li’s wings. As such, they of course had to consume their magic power or demon power to fly.

“There is no other choice. I have to temporarily keep you all in my Realm Treasure…”

Ning Fan frowned. With the current level of his teleportation, his speed would certainly be slowed down if he were to bring his women with him while flying.

Now, faced with the Realm Beast’s pursuit, all the women could barely give help on anything. It would only be more dangerous for them to continue staying.

Without uttering any words, Ning Fan used the Yuan Yao Jade to keep all of them including the black dragon and the black puppet. He then turned himself into a ray of purple light and travelled in a hurry.

“We’re almost there. We just have to go through another forty-nine formation eyes and we will be able to leave this formation!”

Ning Fan descended on a white stone slate in one go and immediately jumped into the air again.

Now, there were only forty-two formation eyes remaining ahead!

No one knew since when the whistling sound given out by the Realm Beast who flew through the air at high speed had stopped.

Ning Fan’s heart was filled with some doubts.

Could it be that the Realm Beast has encountered some obstacles and was trapped, making him unable to continue chasing after me?

Uncertainty grew in his heart, yet the speed of the flowing light under his feet did not slow down at all.

Ning Fan had accelerated his Fu Li’s wings almost up to the maximum speed it was capable of. The speed had gone up to an extremely terrifying level.

It has always been said that life and death situations would help one unlock their potential and increase their strength. The experience of being hunted by the Realm Beast this time had caused Ning Fan’s speed to increase once more. Flying with his Fu Li’s wings, he could travel ninety thousand li* (500 m per li) with a flap of his wings. In fact, the current speed which he was travelling at was not any slower than Kun Mo’s at all!

Just like a twinkling purple starlight, he flickered for five times consecutively and after that, he was now staring at the final seven stone slates. His eyes were brimming with joy.

“That’s the final group of formation eyes which determines one’s life and death. Once we break through this final stage, we could then literally shake off the Realm Beast and flee!”

Ning Fan made a leap and dashed towards one of the seven stone slates which was ten thousand li* (500 m per li) away in front of him.

However, while he was just halfway in flight, a massive sense of danger rushed towards him from ahead. Above the vast sky in front of him, there was a dark virtual shadow of a huge claw that was nearly five thousand zhang* (3.33 m per zhang) in size emerging out of nowhere. All of a sudden, it was crashing down upon Ning Fan, carrying the terrifying might of the Void Refinement Realm!

Right above the huge claw, the burly cloaked man’s eyes shone with a vicious green glow suddenly appeared and sneered coldly.

“I’ve told you, you can’t run away from me!”

“This is bad!”

This huge shadow claw was fast. It was so fast that Ning Fan did not even have the time to activate his Inlaid Star Compass. He patted his storage pouch and summoned the black puppet and the black dragon to block in front of him.

With the level of hardness of the black puppet and the black dragon's physical bodies, they might not necessarily be injured even if they take an all-out strike from a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert.

However, when the enormous shadow of a claw crashed into the both of them, their bodies trembled violently at the same time. Innumerable cracks started to appear on their bodies which rapidly spread out to all parts of their bodies. In just an instant, both of them were severely hurt by the huge claw!

Taking the time when the refined corpse and spiritual puppet blocked the huge claw, Ning Fan quickly withdrew himself and flew back to the white stone slate. His face darkened. Looking at the cloaked burly man who was smirking coldly at him, Ning Fan’s eyes glinted with cold light. With a swing of his palm, he withdrew the dragon and puppet as well, commanding them to stand in front of him.

“You’re that Realm Beast!”
