Chapter 405 - Advancement. Half-Step Void Refinement Realm! (2/2)

Ning Fan suddenly rose to his feet in the Profound Yin World. His magic power had reached a total of six hundred thousand units. The Half-Step Void Refinement Realm aura spread out from his body, making earth and heaven shatter at once.

Up in the sky, the Heavenly Tribulations emerged. Several ten thousand traces of silver flames took form and fell upon him. They were much vigorous than all of the Heavenly Tribulations he had previously encountered. Each trace of the silver flames was enough to instantly destroy an Early Divine Transformation Realm.

Facing ten thousand traces of silver flames, even an ordinary Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert would not dare to withstand it directly at all. They would at most use their magic treasures to block the Heavenly Tribulation.

Ning Fan, however, was different. He had the Stele of Sun and Moon which allowed him to restrain all types of flames.

Seeing the vast amount of traces of silver flames descending on him, his eyes were filled with excitement. He opened his mouth wide and sucked them all in, turning all of them into nourishment for his Stele of Sun and Moon.

Ninety percent of the soul of the stele was replenished. He just needed a bit more and he could then condense the soul of the stele again and possess a Void Fragmentation Realm strike under his sleeve.

As his cultivation base had advanced to the next level, the opportunity that his Medicine Soul was lacking to achieve its breakthrough had finally arrived.

It felt so natural like the saying which goes, where water flows, a channel will form. A feeling of warmth flowed across his entire body as immense medicinal qi surrounded it. Without a doubt, his Medicinal Soul had already broken through to the High Grade Fifth Revolution.

Now, his cultivation base was at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm while his pill refinement technique had attained the High Grade Fifth Revolution!

Ning Fan’s eyes lit up with joy but there wasn’t the slightest hint of pride in them.

As his cultivation base had reached the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm, it was definitely not easy to advance to the next cultivation realm. Breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm was still something that was not within the foreseeable future. Even if the blood wine finishes brewing and he amasses enough magic power, he does not know how long he would need to meditate in seclusion in order to successfully attain the Void Refinement Realm.

Similarly, it was extremely difficult for his pill refinement technique to rise to the next level after it achieved the High Grade Fifth Revolution. Fortunately, Ning Fan remembered that there was the Medicine Soul Pool on Pill Island.

I wonder if my pill refinement technique can break through to the Peak Grade Fifth Revolution with the help of the Medicine Soul Pool.

Everything was uncertain. After roughly stabilizing his cultivation base, he left the Profound Yin World. When he went to the outside world, his eyes turned serious all of a sudden.

The sky above the Divine Space Island was also filled with layers upon layers of silver-colored fire clouds.

This abnormal phenomenon naturally showed that Yue Lingkong had already completely devoured her second primordial spirit and regained her Void Refinement Realm cultivation base.

Those fire clouds were the Tribulations of Flames that would befall one when they break through to the Void Refinement Realm. The might of those flames was by no means insignificant!

“L-Little Cucumber… Help me… block the tribulations… I am facing a problem here…”

Yue Lingkong’s voice echoed out from the secret area intermittently.

Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with surprise. He did not have the time to figure out what kind of problem Yue Lingkong was facing. He instantly soared into the sky and stood facing the one hundred thousand traces of silver flames.

The current Yue Lingkong had met an unforeseen circumstance which rendered her unable to block the tribulations herself.

One hundred thousand traces of silver flames were nearly comparable to a full-powered attack of a Mid Void Refinement Realm cultivator. Without Ning Fan’s assistance, Yue Lingkong would literally die under the Heavenly Tribulation this time.

“Absorb!”

With the power of his Stele of Sun and Moon, Ning Fan swallowed all the silver flames of the Heavenly Tribulation and crushed every layer of fire clouds.

However, he had underestimated the destructive power of the Heavenly Tribulation this time. Even though he had the Stele of Sun and Moon with him, he was unable to completely absorb the flames of the Heavenly Tribulation.

As the might of the Tribulation of Flames increased, the effect of the Stele of Sun and Moon in restraining flames was reduced.

Ning Fan’s eyes turned gloomy. He flicked his sleeve and summoned his ninety-nine natal stars. Dazzling black stars rose to the sky and shone upon him.

He stood in the middle of the Tribulation of Flames but his injuries were being instantly healed. Even though he experienced great amounts of pain, he did not care about it at all.

Two hours later, the fire tribulation ceased.

The Heavenly Tribulation of the Void Refinement Realm was at least tens of times greater than the Heavenly Tribulation of the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm which Ning Fan encountered earlier.

Inwardly, Ning Fan thought to himself.

I’m afraid that the Heavenly Tribulation which I will face in each advancement I make after the Void Refinement Realm will be more terrifying than before…

Before attaining the Void Refinement Realm, he could still disregard the Heavenly Tribulation. However, after achieving that cultivation realm, perhaps he would also have to make some preparations in order to block the Heavenly Tribulation beforehand.

When the fire clouds of the Heavenly Tribulation dispersed, Ning Fan let out a sigh of relief. He performed an internal check in his Profound Yin World and discovered that the soul of the Stele of Sun and Moon was completely replenished. His eyes instantly lit up with excitement.

By using up the soul of the stele, he could call upon the Stele of Sun and Moon and unleash power equivalent to a Void Fragmentation Realm attack. As such, he could now be considered to have enough strength to protect himself against a Void Fragmentation Realm expert.

However, just as the excitement rose within him, the feeling immediately vanished from his heart.

He descended outside the secret area and his eyes were filled with sternness. He was eager to know what circumstance Yue Lingkong encountered that caused her to be unable to even block the Heavenly Tribulation.

“Yue’er, are you alright?”

“I’m still… fine… but…”

A beautiful woman who was completely naked was seen limping her way out of the secret grounds.

She did not wear even an inch of clothing. Her black hair was smooth and long like a waterfall. Her eyes were bright and round like the moon while her skin was spotlessly clean like the moonlight. Her eyebrows also carried a hint of icy arrogance. Majesty was the element that could be found at the first sight of her appearance which was mature and elegant. Her bosoms were firm and ample and her waist was so small that it would perfectly fit into one’s arm. A crescent moon hair ornament was pinned to her glossy black hair and a pair of small and delicate earrings hung down from her earlobes. Her presence emanated an Early Void Refinement Realm aura.

She looked rather similar to the Yue Lingkong in the body of a little girl but she was more beautiful than her second primordial spirit.

“Are you Yue’er?” Ning Fan sounded somewhat unsure. Could this naked mature woman with peerless beauty before his eyes be Yue Lingkong?

Wasn’t Yue Lingkong the witless young girl with no bosom and buttocks? Could she be so beautiful when she grows up?

“Little Cucumber…Of course, it’s me… Give me a hand…”

Yue Lingkong’s cheeks were pale. When she walked, she nearly lost her balance. She could not even stand properly now. After Ning Fan reached out his hand to hold her, only then did she avoid falling down on the ground.

Sensing that Yue Lingkong’s was extremely weak internally, Ning Fan asked with a serious tone.

“What happened? Why is your body in such a frail state?”

“It’s just a trivial matter… After I refined my second primordial spirit, I regained my Early Void Refinement Realm cultivation base. Besides that, I have also broken through to the peak of the Early Void Refinement Realm in one attempt, nearly attaining the Mid Void Refinement Realm… Then, I was carried away by a whim and tried to see whether I could break through to the Mid Void Refinement Realm as well. But I failed and then I ended up in such a state…”

“Idiot!”

Ning Fan’s eyes looked stern.

The Void Refinement Realm was not the same as the Divine Transformation Realm, much less the Nascent Soul Realm.

Even if Yue Lingkong had enough magic power to obtain a breakthrough in her cultivation realm after regaining her original cultivation base, she was still at the Void Glimpse stage after all.

Without passing through the Void Inquiry stage, there was no way she could achieve the advancement in her cultivation realm no matter how much magic power she had. If one attempts to force the breakthrough, they would certainly fail without a doubt. If what she did was not an act of stupidity, what else could it be?

Void Glimpse, Void Inquiry, Void Pierce, Absolute Void and then… Void Fragmenting!

Each step was certainly related to one’s comprehension towards the void and each of the steps could never be omitted.

“Fine. I was wrong, okay…?” Yue Lingkong seemed to be avoiding direct eye contact with Ning Fan. Originally, she thought that she could behave domineeringly as her cultivation realm transcended Ning Fan’s after she regained her actual strength.

Unexpectedly, when Ning Fan had just begun to feel angry, she immediately backed off. Moreover, she also did not dare to talk back at him.

Strange. It’s really strange…

Yue Lingkong could only feel strange as it was not her style at all!

What happened to me…? I was obviously reprimanded by this Little Cucumber. Why do I still feel a little delighted…? Could it be that my brain has been damaged?”

Yue Lingkong’s thoughts were chaotic. When she lowered her head at the next moment, her beautiful eyes looked stunned all of a sudden.

It was only now that she realized that she was not wearing any clothes!

All of her clothing was ripped to pieces when her previous body of a little girl grew into her current one.

However, she reacted very calmly. Without embarrassment, she grabbed Ning Fan’s hand and placed it on her bosoms. Then, she spoke with a pleased tone.

“How are they? Are my bosoms large enough?! I didn’t lie to you, did I? My body is especially great. Compensating you with my body definitely is your good fortune.”

“…”

Ning Fan did not know what to say. Yue Lingkong was not an ordinary woman. Thus, she could not be understood based on logical thinking.

However, Ning Fan had to admit that the feeling was indeed not bad. It was tender and elastic.

“Do you want me to compensate you with my body now? I will surely make you yield to me.” Yue Lingkong said proudly, feeling eager to try it out.

“No need. Take a good rest… Stabilize your cultivation base and then accompany me to the Six-Winged Clan.”

Ning Fan shook his head. He was not that lustful to make out with a woman who could not even stand properly.

Though, he had to admit that Yue Lingkong was absolutely gorgeous.
