Chapter 450 - Shi Kun Could Not Resist (1/2)
Translator: GE_Team
That was a rush of frightening baleful qi which carried the aura of slaughtering many living creatures!
Faced with this baleful qi, Shi Kun felt his breathing become heavy and difficult. His qi instantly turned extremely chaotic. Layers of illusory scenes of carnage seem to appear before his very eyes. Inside those seas of blood were all the experts that Ning Fan had once killed.
Throughout his journey, innumerable cultivators of the Vein Opening Realm, Harmonious Spirit Realm, Nascent Soul Realm and Divine Transformation Realm died in his hands and turned into traces of baleful qi which gathered within him.
Within this immense baleful qi, there were actually the ferocious might of several tens of Void Refinement Realm experts who died in his hands. In addition to that, part of the baleful qi within him was even left by Void Inquiry Stage old monsters after they died!
Shi Kun let out a cry and released all of his magic power. Pieces of azure scales surfaced on his body like the cracks and marks on stones. Only then did he manage to withstand the aura force. Even so, he was already covered with sweat and had an expression filled with astonishment and confusion.
He could not imagine exactly what kind of expert he was to actually take the lives of so many experts and accumulate such a frightening amount of baleful qi!
Could he be an old monster who is peerless among Void Inquiry Stage experts?!
Why would I dare to offend an old monster who is at that level?!
Shi Kun could just barely withstand the baleful qi. His son and the five country protectors he had brought along, however, were directly injured by the baleful qi.
Blood flowed out from the mouths of the five Half-Step Void Refinement Realm country protectors. Their primordial spirits were in so much pain that they nearly passed out.
Shi Kun’s son had the weakest cultivation base in his group. He was only at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm. Among the young generation of the Rain World in the current era, he might probably be considered as a prodigy but in Ning Fan’s eyes, he was nothing but a dust particle, an ant!

Shi Kun’s son felt as if he had taken a heavy blow on his chest. The immortal veins in his body were damaged. The one-thousand-year-old snow wooden seat that he sat on was literally crushed by the baleful qi, making him fall to his knees on the ground while continuously coughing out blood. He was nearly killed directly by Ning Fan’s baleful qi!
The eyes of Ju Qing, Dong Xu and several elders of the Giant Devil Clan were also filled with absolute amazement.
Ning Fan’s baleful qi did not affect them. However, by just sensing the ferocious might of his baleful qi, they felt it was difficult to breathe.
The gazes of everyone inside the pavilion fell upon the young man who was slowly walking into the Evening Snow Pavilion. All of them found this hard to believe.
It was Ning Fan who came! However, even Dong Xu who understood Ning Fan quite a bit did not expect for the current Ning Fan to have already gotten so strong!
Only Xu Qiuling’s expression remained as indifferent as usual. As she looked at Ning Fan, her tranquil eyes arched upwards like two crescent moons, making her look especially captivating.
“Big Brother, you have returned.”
Indeed, to her, Ning Fan had returned, not arrived…
It was because no matter where she was, she would always be Ning Fan’s home. No matter where she goes, finding her would be equivalent to returning home to him.
“Ling Er, let me handle the rest. Don’t worry. For your sake, I can assure the safety of the Giant Devil Clan today. No one can even think of harming it…”
Ning Fan nodded his head at Xu Qiuling with a smile. Leaving Elder Fu Bai, Yue Lingkong and Fen Chi behind, he walked towards Shi Kun on his own.
Each step he made seemed to be trampling upon the Great Dao.
For every step he took, his aura force would grow much sharper and pierce at Shi Kun!

Seeing Ning Fan gradually approaching him, Shi Kun’s expression was as heavy as steel. He had already noticed that Ning Fan was not a Void Inquiry Stage old monster as he initially expected but a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert instead.
Recalling that he had been frightened by a Divine Transformation Realm junior who dared to interfere with his business and even hurt his own son and people, his expression turned even more grim. Gradually, immense killing intent surfaced in his eyes.
“Zhou Ming? The newly promoted revered elder of the Rain Palace? Humph! How dare a mere Divine Transformation Realm revered elder be so impolite with me? You’re seeking death with your actions! Do you know that even a Void Refinement Realm palace lord of the Rain Palace would still need to treat me as an equal? Who do you think you are?!”
Shi Kun was not a member of the Rain Palace. Even though he had heard of Ning Fan’s identity as a revered elder of the Rain Palace, he was not aware of how important Ning Fan was in the eyes of the Rain Sovereign.
At this moment, Shi Kun only had his eyes on the Void Inquiry Pill. After he had seen through Ning Fan’s true cultivation base, he no longer placed him within his eyes.
Ning Fan stopped moving. From three zhang* (3.33m per zhang) away, he coldly stared at Shi Kun.
Meanwhile, Shi Kun also released his aura force. After all, he was an old monster that was invincible amongst Void Glimpse Stage experts. As he let out his aura force unrestrained, his aura force was naturally not any weaker than Ning Fan’s.
Wind blew as he gave a flick of his sleeve and held his son up. As he checked on his son’s severe injuries and completely destroyed immortal veins, his killing intent towards Ning Fan rose to another level.
“Father, kill him! Flatten the Giant Devil Clan and seek revenge for me!” His son shouted viciously.
“Don’t worry! Even if the Zhou Clan will be displeased or the Rain Palace holds me responsible, I will still annihilate the Giant Devil Clan and take revenge for you! Killing Stone Art!”
Shi Kun tossed his half incapacitated son to his five country protectors and teleported them a hundred thousand li* (500m per li) away with a single swing of his hand. Then, he took a heavy step forward. With the massive force of his Golden Body Refining Realm, he stomped on the ground.
The force of his one single stomp turned into an unimaginable crushing windstorm that directly pulverized the whole Evening Snow Pavilion.
Moreover, the destructive force continued to spread beyond there. Within the vicinity of one hundred thousand li* (500m per li), countless snow mountains collapsed and got flattened.
After the force dissipated, countless pieces of rocks on the ground seemed to have been possessed by evil spirits as they got together like they were attracted to each other, forming into innumerable gigantic arms. Each of them was a thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall.
Thousands upon thousands of rock arms stretched out from the ground with their hands balled into fists. In the next moment, a torrent of punches rained down on Ning Fan and the others.
Each of the gigantic punches was capable of crushing a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator!
Faced with thousands upon thousands of them at the same time, it would be difficult to stay alive even for a Void Refinement Realm old monster!
Such a soul-stirring magic technique had caused the ground of the whole Cold Northern Country that was as large as seventy million li* (500m per li) to tremble, as if an earthquake was happening.
Countless cultivators soared into the sky and gazed at the direction of the province. Their hearts were filled with shock and fear. They were, of course, aware that there were powerful experts fighting there.
Each of the old monsters made use of the teleportation formations within the country and rushed towards the province.
The old monsters who were not far away from the battlefield turned into rays of travelling light and swiftly headed towards the battlefield to find out what had happened.
Many nearby old monsters who arrived in a hurry were stricken with terror when they saw Shi Kun summon innumerable rock arms. Some of them exclaimed in fear.
“Isn’t this man Shi Kun, the country lord of Shi Le Country? Why would he appear in the Endless Sea?”
“This is the technique that Shi Kun had always been proud of. Killing Stone Art! What he has been cultivating his entire life is the Ghost Stone Divine Veins. It allows him to control rocks with the power of ghosts and spirits. With this technique, he once severely injured an Early Void Refinement Realm expert with a single move… Now, he actually dares to use such a terrifying magic technique within the Giant Devil Clan. Could it be that he intends to destroy the entire Giant Devil Clan?!”
“Shi Kun is an unrivalled expert among the Void Glimpse Stage experts. In the Rain World, he is one of the most renowned old monsters. Why would he come to cause trouble here in the Giant Devil Clan? Both of them do not have any relationship with each other. They should not have grudges against each other. This is just illogical…”
“Do you guys think that his actions are for the Void Inquiry Pill? *Cough* There is no Void Refinement Realm expert backing the Giant Devil Clan but they still dared to hold the Pill Ceremony on their own and even invited pill refinement grandmasters to accomplish the missions they assigned. To make this Pill Ceremony attractive, they actually took out Mid-Grade Sixth Revolution pills as rewards… *tongue click* The Mid-Grade Sixth Revolution Pill, Void Inquiry Pill, is something that will drive many Void Glimpse Stage experts crazy…”
“*Sigh* No matter what the cause of the fight between Shi Kun and the Giant Devil Clan, the Giant Devil Clan is definitely going to be annihilated today since he himself is personally taking action. There’s no need to watch this fight any longer… The Pill Ceremony cannot be held anymore as well. In other words, us people who have come to the Giant Devil Clan to spectate the ceremony have come for nothing…”
Each of the old monsters sighed in disappointment. None of them expected the Giant Devil Clan to actually withstand Shi Kun’s rage.
Under Shi Kun’s manipulation, the innumerable rock arms assaulted Ning Fan and the others. The massive force pulverized all mountains and rivers there.
When Ju Qing, Dong Xu and the elders of Giant Devil Clan saw the vigorous force behind this technique, they all knew that it was impossible for them to block it.
The three ladies: Xu Qiuling, Yue Lingkong and Fen Chi, on the other hand, remained calm and composed. Each of them had infinite confidence in Ning Fan. They did not think that Ning Fan would lose to Shi Kun at all.
“Yue Er, this time, you don’t have to do anything. Let me handle him. As for you all, withdraw to a safer distance…”
