Chapter 479 - Restoring the Ancestors and Devil Conferral (4) (2/2)
The devil runes turned every last ray of golden light in his body into dark blood threads carrying dark golden luster which went inside his body.
In a matter of seconds, all of the golden light in his golden orifices were converted into dark golden essence qi of his flesh!
The number of essence qi in his body was increasing at a much slower rate.
1 unit. 2 units… 5 units! After an incense stick of time, Ning Fan obtained 5 units of essence qi and his ancient devil cultivation realm broke through to the Seventh Level of the Blood Refinement Realm which was equivalent to the Gold Core Realm!
10 units. 20 units… 50 units! Four hours went by and he obtained 50 units of essence qi and broke through to the Bone Charm Realm which corresponded to the Nascent Soul Realm!
100 units. 500 units… 10000 units! One month later, the amount of essence qi he obtained reached ten thousand units and he achieved the Jade Blood Realm that was on par with the Divine Transformation Realm!
50000 units. 100000 units. 1000000units… 4000000 units! Ten years passed and Ning Fan managed to obtain four million units of essence qi after fully converting the total amount of power from his Second Level of the Golden Body Refining Realm. Every unit of essence qi was stored inside his body.
During the conversion process, Ning Fan sat on the ground like a statue for ten years and so his body was covered in dust.
Technically speaking, the amount of essence qi he had was already enough for him to attain the Mid Reckless Devil Realm but he seemed to have missed out on something to attain that legendary cultivation realm.
He silenced his mind and his consciousness sank into a boundless void. There was a gigantic devil mountain standing erect on a desolate continent that was floating in the hollow space.
A broken ancient stele stood on the foot of the devil mountain which was carved with three archaic characters in Gu Tuo Writing, “Devil Conferral Summit”!
There was a flight of stairs made out of bluestones on the mountain. It led straight to the summit of the devil clouds!
The Devil Conferral Summit was the place where the conferment of devils was made in ancient times. Only the ancient devils who possessed the devil talismans could come to this place in their consciousness when they are on the verge of breaking through to the Reckless Devil Realm to complete the test here!
The existence of the Devil Conferral Summit was similar to the Sea of Clouds. The Sea of Clouds was where the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators carved their names whereas the Devil Conferral Summit was the lost broken world where ancient devil cultivators were conferred with the Reckless Devil Realm.
“It’s really beyond my expectations for me to arrive at the legendary holy ground of the ancient devils – the Devil Conferral Summit, using my consciousness in the process of breaking through to the Reckless Devil Realm…”
Ning Fan remained silent for a while. He had read about some similar information regarding the Devil Conferral Summit from the scriptures on the devil slates.
When an ancient devil is breaking through to the Reckless Devil Realm, they must visit the Devil Conferral Summit to accept their test.
If one obtains an excellent result, they might even be rewarded.
Some ancient devils obtained devil weapons, some obtained devil cultivation methods or devil martial arts while some others obtained devil pills or devil medicines.
The Devil Conferral Summit was the place where the tests for the ancient devils were exclusively held and was also the place to confer power to them. No one knew who created it.
Ning Fan stood at the foot of the mountain. After stopping there for quite some time, he finally made his first step towards the devil mountain.
As soon as he made a step, 12 dark golden ancient giants suddenly fell from the sky, standing in front of his path.
“Stop taking another step forward! In order to ascend the Devil Conferral Summit, you must first pass three tests. This will be the first test!”
Each of the 12 giants had Early Reckless Devil Realm cultivation levels and none of them was a living being. Instead, they were just illusory shadows that were formed by some kind of magic technique. It was unknown for how long they had existed in this place.
“What is the test?!” Ning Fan raised his head, disregarding the vigorous aura forces of the 12 giants.
“Show us your devil blood. If your devil blood is weaker than the true grade devil blood, get out of the Devil Conferral Summit!”
Each of the 12 giants was an ancient devil with true devil bloodline.
The devil might of 12 true devil bloodlines were comparable to the sum of the aura force of the devil blood of 12 Moksha Emperors. It was strong enough to crush any Divine Transformation Realm cultivator!
Ning Fan’s eyes remained cold and indifferent. He did not have the slightest hint of fear facing the aura force from the bloodlines of the 12 giants.
He took another step forward. A wave of aura force that only those with the bloodline of a King Devil could give off soared into the sky, rushing towards the 12 giants and sending them back with blood flowing out of their mouths. All of them stared at Ning Fan in disbelief.
“You’re a King Devil!? A devil with royal grade devil bloodline!”
“Destroy!”
Ning Fan unleashed all of his devil might. That illusory power formed into 12 gigantic fists which landed on the chests of the giants that also had the similarly illusory bodies.
At the next moment, all twelve of them broke into pieces and disappeared. Without a doubt, Ning Fan had passed the first test!
Just as Ning Fan got through the first test, a black flash shot out from the devil mountain, turning into an old box made out of ebony wood that descended flatly on the center of his palm.
This black wooden box was none other than the reward from the devil mountain of the Devil Conferral Summit for passing the first test.
He opened the wooden box and discovered a black crystal inside it which exudes great devil qi. There was an inheritance of a style of magic technique inside the crystal.
As he touched the crystal using just the tip of his finger, it instantly shattered and an archaic voice resounded in his Sea of Consciousness immediately after that. That voice imparted a huge amount of information to him.
His expression changed. In just an instant, he had learned a secret technique of the ancient devil race from the first reward of the first test.
“Ancient Devil Dao – Void Teleportation… It’s different from the one the divine race had. The ancient devil race teleports using their essence qi and wouldn’t use their magic power for that purpose. Even so, the speed of their movement technique is definitely not any weaker than that of the divine race…”
He activated his essence qi and countless traces of black smoke spiraled around him. Without the sound of “chi”, he disappeared into smoke.
The traces of smoke flew towards the peak of the devil mountain at an unimaginable speed. When Ning Fan had flown to one-third of the mountain’s height, a massive black palace emerged in front of him.
There were 8 ancient devils standing guard outside the palace. All of them were also at the Early Reckless Devil Realm.
However, the qi of these 8 individuals were much stronger than those of the 12 giants he previously met at the foot of the mountain.
There was a devil stele outside the black palace as well which had been carved with three words – Devil Talisman Palace.
As the eight of them noticed that Ning Fan was trying to ascend the Devil Conferral Summit, they all shouted in a thunderous voice.
“Cease any movement! In order to ascend the Devil Conferral Summit, you will need to pass three tests of Devil Conferral. This will be the second test!”
“What’s the test?!”
“Devour the remnant talismans within this Devil Talisman Palace using your devil talisman. You will pass the second test by devouring 8 of them!”
*Puff*
Just as the voices of the eight giants fell, a strong violent devil gust blew across the area all of a sudden.
Ning Fan raised his palm and his dark golden devil talisman released a tremendous amount of devil might that drew in the wind and clouds.
When the eight giants saw Ning Fan’s devil talisman, all of their faces were filled with shock.
“A-Ancestral Talisman! It’s actually the Mo Luo Ancestral Talisman!”
