Chapter 477 - Restoring the Ancestors and Devil Conferral (2) (2/2)

Having Su Yan to lead the way and activate the formation, Ning Fan got to the slate as easy as blowing off dust and stood right in front of it.

“I am indebted to you as you’ve saved my life. Even if you want to take the devil slate away, I will still help you cover it up.” Su Yan did not believe that Ning Fan would be satisfied with just taking a look at the slate.

The devil statue slate was a supreme treasure. Even though no one could understand its secrets, experts like King Lan Ling would still fight among themselves in order to get one of the slates.

Thus, it was nothing unusual if Ning Fan wanted to take it away.

Su Yan was not an ungrateful person who didn’t know how to return a favor to those who had helped her. If Ning Fan really wants to have the devil slate, she would be willing to keep it a secret for him.

“I really don’t need to take it away.” Ning Fan squatted down. He did not remove the seal placed on the devil slate. Instead, he just placed his hand on the slate across the seal.

His gaze lingered on the scripture on the slate and memorized all of the correct characters. Moments later, he absorbed the fourth devil qi into the devil marks on his back.

The devil scripture from this devil slate filled up all the chants, cultivation direction, secret arts and techniques of the Ancestral Talisman Blood Refinement Technique.

The fourth devil qi and the other three devil qi inside Ning Fan’s body resonated with each other.

He felt the devil marks on his back burning, burning away all the devil qi inside his body.

Each trace of devil qi inside of him was the culmination of his Devil Dao that he had gained throughout his cultivation. How could they be wasted just like that?

He held Su Yan in his arms and flew into the gigantic Devil Mist Pond in a flash of light, devouring the pure devil qi in the water to replace the devil qi in him that had been burned up by his devil marks.

Gradually, the burning sensation on his devil marks stopped and everything calmed down.

Afterwards, a terrifying devil might was unleashed from Ning Fan’s body, dashing out of the Devil Mist Pond and sweeping across the entire small chiliocosm.

In the skies right above where Ning Fan was, the devil mist scattered. Pieces of the heavens started to crack.

Eerie black fluid flowed out from the cracks, emanating immense devil qi. It was the strange phenomenon of devil blood dying the blue sky. It only occurred when the four devil slates appeared in the past!

Now, this abnormal phenomenon was triggered by Ning Fan and it carried his qi!

He knew that his devil marks were on the verge of achieving an advancement. However, he had not thought that he would cause an abnormal phenomenon after gathering the four devil qi from all four devil slates. Moreover, once this abnormal phenomenon appeared, it would follow him wherever he goes.

The Heaven Deceiving Cloak would not be able to hide the phenomenon. Even hiding inside the Yuan Yao World or Profound Yin World would not conceal it.

Not only that, Ning Fan felt like his blood was on fire right now and his qi was in chaos. In his current condition, he could not even use one-tenth of his original strength. It was not an appropriate time for him to fight at all.

Inside the Mist Horn Broken World, all of the devil spirits had seen the strange phenomenon and detected that Ning Fan was the one who triggered it based on the qi emanating from the phenomenon.

All of them swarmed towards the Devil Mist Pond. Even if Ning Fan turns invisible and hides, they would not be able to find his true body but they would still know that he was hiding at the bottom of the pond.

“Devil blood dying the blue sky! How did you trigger this phenomenon?! What have you done to the devil statue slate? You…” Su Yan had too many questions and doubts she wanted to ask Ning Fan.

However, Ning Fan’s devil marks were currently advancing and so he was suppressing the devil qi in his body with all his power. Therefore, he did not have any spare energy to talk with Su Yan.

In the distance, countless powerful qi emanating vigorous devil qi were quickly heading towards Ning Fan’s direction.

Among them, fourteen traces of strong Void Refinement Realm qi were leading the group. They were dashing towards Ning Fan in a crazed manner. Each of the Void Refinement Realm devil spirits let out roars of anger, all their spirit senses were locked onto the Devil Mist Pond.

“Junior, even though I don’t understand how you triggered such a frightening phenomenon which affected heaven and earth, one thing I know for sure is that I will be able to find you wherever you are because of this phenomenon. Even if you flee to the most remote corners of the world, I will still be able to discover your tracks!”

“Big Brother, you don’t have to talk nonsense with him anymore. We will charge at them together. After killing him and Su Yan, we will accomplish the mission General Xi Mo assigned to us!”

“How dare a lowly Half-Step Void Refinement Realm junior provoke us?! He’s really courting his own death!”

“In his current condition, he can’t even use one-tenth of his original strength. It’s a great opportunity to strike him down and finish him off!”

“Be careful, everyone. This brat’s movement speed is extraordinary. He has an impressive invisibility technique and his combat power is also comparable to that of the Void Inquiry Stage. If we want to pin him down, we must first set up barriers that cancel the effect of his invisibility and slow down his speed. We will form 14 layers of barriers. Let’s see what methods he still has to fight against us!”

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*

The 14 Void Refinement Realm devil spirits arrived in an instant and jointly established 14 layers of barriers around the Devil Mist Pond which completely shut off every possible way Ning Fan could flee to.

Ning Fan’s speed was greatly reduced and he could not summon his Heaven Deceiving Cloak as well inside the barriers.

The 14 Void Refinement Realm devil spirits looked at the weakened Ning Fan whose abilities had been disabled the same way they would look at a dead person.

Millions of devil spirits surrounded the area like tidal waves.

“What should we do now…” Su Yan sighed gently. Ning Fan had triggered a strange phenomenon which weakened his strength considerably. Moreover, they were surrounded by their enemies from all sides. The situation looked dire.

“It doesn’t matter. Come with me!”

Ning Fan placed his arm around Su Yan’s waist which was slender like a water snake. He gave a disdainful glance at the devil spirits and went into the Yuan Yao World with her.

He did not plan on running or hiding there. He would achieve the advancement of his devil marks in the Yuan Yao World. Once his devil marks advanced completely, he would wipe out all the devil spirits!

“What?! How did he escape again?! How is this possible?!”

“No. He didn’t escape. Everyone, look. The position of the phenomenon he triggered didn’t change. He is still hiding somewhere right here!”

“He didn’t turn invisible. He should have hidden inside a heavenly dwelling space.”

“Detestable! If he hides inside a heavenly dwelling space, do we have to wait for him to come out right here? Let’s just blast his heavenly dwelling space to pieces!”

*Bang* *Boom* *Bang*

The 14 Void Refinement Realm old monsters attacked at the same time, splitting the Devil Mist Pond into two. However, they did not discover any broken heavenly dwelling space on the bottom of the pond.

If Ning Fan really went inside a heavenly dwelling space, he should have been thrown out from it.

Unfortunately, the world where Ning Fan hid himself was a small chiliocosm which was of a higher grade than a heavenly dwelling space. Thus, the combined attacks of 14 old monsters would not be able to force him out.

“Detestable! The place he hid himself isn’t a heavenly dwelling space but a small chiliocosm instead! This brat actually has a small chiliocosm cosmos treasure!”

“We’ve miscalculated! It’s surprising for this brat to possess a cosmos treasure. If he doesn’t come out, all we can do is to keep on waiting for him here. The most hateful part of this is that he also brought Su Yan inside. Since we can’t enter his small chiliocosm, we naturally won’t be able to kill Su Yan. How are we supposed to report to General Xi Mo now?!”

“Impudent! Shameless! He knew he had no chance of winning against us so he hid himself inside the small chiliocosm. He’s really a shameless brat!”

Each of the Void Refinement Realm devil spirits were burning with impatience while cursing and spitting harsh words aimed at him.

Unfortunately, Ning Fan did not seem to be the one that was shameless and impudent. In fact, these Void Refinement Realm old monsters were the ones who fit the description.

14 Void Refinement Realm devil spirits bringing a battalion of ten million devil spirits to attack a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator. Wasn’t this shameless enough?

The 14 Void Refinement Realm devil spirits only dared to surround Ning Fan when his combat power was greatly reduced. Wasn’t this a shameless act?

The ten million devil spirits arrived one after another, crowding the area around the Devil Mist Pond.

There was nothing the 14 Void Refinement Realm devil spirits could do other than wait for Ning Fan to appear.

Perhaps Ning Fan would spend the rest of his life hiding inside the Yuan Yao World. Perhaps the day when Ning Fan comes out from the small chiliocosm would never come.

However, they still had to keep on waiting. As long as he comes out, they were confident that they could leave him with no grave to die in!

“We will wait for them right here! In addition, tell General Xi Mo that Su Yan is already dead…” Qian Gui ordered.

“What?! Are we going to lie to General Xi Mo? Su Yan is obviously not dead yet…”

“What other choice do we have?! Who can kill Su Yan now when she has hidden inside a small chiliocosm? Do you all want to tell General Xi Mo the truth and let him know that we, a group of 15 Void Refinement Realm experts, did such a terrible job? Are we going to tell him that all fifteen of us could not even successfully kill two individuals and had even lost one of our own during the process?”

“But…”

“There’s no need to worry! We will wait right here. I don’t believe that Su Yan and that little lover of hers would stay hidden here forever!”

Qian Gui’s eyes turned grim and ordered his men to build devil cities around the Devil Mist Pond. They actually wanted to camp in this area.

This bunch of old guys truly had no shame for their actions!
