Chapter 495 - Cosmos Opening Umbrella (2/2)

The white tiger with malicious intentions had witnessed Ning Fan’s power inside the princess statue.

It was already extremely timid in the first place. When it first saw Ning Fan’s Void Inquiry Stage qi, it was already scared half to death.

After witnessing Ning Fan effortlessly dealing with the Void Piece Stage heavenly tribulations today, it became even more afraid of him. It, a dignified Void Pierce Stage ancient demon, was actually trembling in fear and lying prostrated with a panic-stricken face inside the statue.

The white tiger knew that it definitely could not withstand heavenly tribulations of that level on its own. Ning Fan, however, managed to do it with ease. Based on its reasoning, it thought that Ning Fan was certainly much stronger and the gap between them was not insignificant!

“What should I do? What should I do?! This man is so strong. I am definitely not his match! As long as he is here, I can’t lay a finger on that pill devil at all! That pill devil possesses the dark sparrow bloodline and is obviously a fine delicacy. Moreover, she has even absorbed all the incense flame power. If I can devour her, not only will my cultivation base significantly improve, but I can also break free from my ‘remnant soul body’ and develop my true demon body with genuine flesh and blood!”

The white tiger desired to eat Ming Que but it was terrified of Ning Fan’s power at the same time.

Just as it was still hesitating, it suddenly recalled that it still had a treasure by its side. As long as it had that treasure, it might not necessarily need to be afraid of Ning Fan.

“That’s right! How can I forget about this treasure?! This is the treasure that I have risked my life to steal from my master. If it wasn’t for this treasure, I would’ve already died by now. How can I even survive up until today? Hehe. I remember my master once said that this treasure is called the ‘Spirit Bone Jade Ornament’. It’s something that my master forged using the ‘spirit bones’ left by a dead ancient demon in the past…”

The white tiger turned around and transformed into a burly beastman in white robes with the head of a tiger and the body of a human. He held a sparkling and warm jade ornament in his hand.

Circles were drawn on the surface of the jade ornament which were just like the growth rings in trees.

The edge of the jade had many holes and each of them was attached with a fine thread tied to a beast fang. Only one of the holes had lost its beast fang. However, the white tiger was not worried about it.

If one looks at the jade ornament more closely, they would discover that the sparkling and warm item was actually not made from jade at all. Instead, it was just a bone that resembled jade.

This bone was undoubtedly an ancient demon’s bone. Specifically, the only reason why this white tiger had the chance to become an ancient demon was all because of this thing.

It contained an endless amount of power. However, it wasn’t given out by the spirit bone itself but rather the circles on its surface.

“I remember my master once said that the marks on this spirit bone are called ‘spirit wheels’. They are one of the ancient demons’ abilities. Besides, they are very similar to the ‘devil talismans’ of the ancient devil race…”

As the white tiger looked at the jade ornament, ninety percent of the fear he originally held toward Ning Fan vanished immediately.

“I don’t need to be afraid of anyone as long as I have this treasure! Hmph! I must eat that little pill devil!”

*Chi*

The white tiger mustered up his courage and flew out from the princess statue in a ray of white light.

Even though he had gained some confidence, he was still afraid of Ning Fan after all. He did not dare to face him directly. Thus, his travelling light headed straight toward Ming Que while producing countless waves of demon wind along the way. He planned to capture her and search for a good place to enjoy his meal.

The appearance of this white tiger was beyond everyone’s expectations.

His strong Void Glimpse Stage aura force brought forth layers of void power which transformed into void waves in the vast sky, emanating a frightening pressure.

Only a Void Pierce Stage expert could step on the void ocean and enjoy an infinite amount of power.

Su Yan’s eyes flashed with shock. She never expected that a Void Pierce Stage old monster would appear during the ceremony to cause troubles. Aside from that, the qi of this Void Pierce Stage old monster was extremely unfamiliar. It seemed to belong to a potent demon cultivator that should not be a member of the Rain World!

As for the cultivators on the demon island, all of them were petrified by this sudden occurrence. They could only see a white tiger beastman flying toward Ming Que without giving them the time to react.

“I got you!”

The white tiger beastman’s heart was overwhelmed with joy. His speed was unimaginably fast. He was just one hundred zhang* (3.33m per zhang) away from Ming Que’s altar. It would only take him several seconds to ascend the altar, capture her and then get away from the island.

However, it was at this critical juncture that a column of black flames suddenly erupted at the path in front of him. The figure of a white-robed young man emerged. He was none other than Ning Fan who had been vigilantly guarding against the ancient demon.

Ning Fan spread his Eight Black Burning Wings and appeared out of nowhere, firmly standing in front of the ancient demon.

Without hesitation, he raised one of his palms and performed the complete set of the Execution Devil Palm, sending out one hundred and eight layers of palm imprints toward the white tiger’s head.

“Oh no! This is the Execution Devil Palm! I’ve read on this palm attack before from the written record on my master’s jade slip. It’s a famous technique which belonged to a young great emperor in the past! Oh my god! Who exactly is this white-robed young man? How did he learn the technique of an ancient great emperor?! This is just too terrifying!”

The white tiger shuddered as the incoming attacks scared him out of his wits. Honestly speaking, if he retaliates with all his strength, he would probably be able to withstand Ning Fan’s Execution Devil Palm. After all, his cultivation base was higher than his.

However, he was timid in nature and was now completely terrified of Ning Fan. After recognizing the origin of the devil palm, his confidence crumbled and fear began to invade his heart. The uncontrollable panic which assailed him put him at a loss as to how to fight Ning Fan.

He almost peed on himself. He could not have imagined at all that there would still be someone in the current era who would use the technique of an ancient great emperor.

Luckily, he recalled the jade ornament in his hands right before the devil palms landed on his head. He immediately raised the jade ornament, infusing it with all his demon power.

The strange circles on the jade ornament flickered intensely and emitted mysterious halos. As the halos met the devil palm imprints, their powerful collision tore the hollow space while sending countless altars flying away.

The altar where Ming Que was staying was not affected by the blow because it was under Ning Fan’s protection.

She was still sitting in the blood pool with her eyes closed, still absorbing the inheritance. Her brows were drawn tightly together as if she was enduring some kind of pain.

The collision of the powerful attacks did not wake her up but it shocked countless demon cultivators on the island.

It was a battle between Void Refinement Realm experts and it was something that these demon cultivators might not have the chance to witness in their entire lifetimes!

When the white tiger realized that he actually managed to block Ning Fan’s palm attack, he found it extremely unbelievable and it allowed him to slowly regain his confidence.

Even though he was timid, he was not stupid. When he hurriedly activated the power of the jade ornament just now, he only used around thirty to forty percent of its full might.

Even so, it could easily block a fatal attack from Ning Fan.

Now, it seemed to him that Ning Fan was not as terrifying as he initially thought.

“You aren’t my match. If you hurry up and get lost, I will spare your life! This little pill devil is mine!” The white tiger beastman arrogantly said.

“Enough talking!”

It was certainly impossible for Ning Fan to let the ancient demon capture Ming Que.

However, what surprised him a little was that this ancient demon could actually identify Ming Que’s original identity as a pill devil.

Apart from that, what concerned him more was the spirit bone jade ornament which the ancient demon was holding.

That thing had just shot out halos which could easily withstand his Execution Devil Palm.

Those halos are rather unusual…

From his observation, Ning Fan could even tell that the jade ornament carried a faint ancient demon qi.

He could also notice that the ancient demon qi of this white tiger was impure. He had also exhausted nearly one-third of his demon power when he used the jade ornament just now.

“The halos of that jade ornament is rather troublesome… But this ancient demon certainly can’t use it frequently.”

When the white tiger beastman saw Ning Fan begin acting cautiously, he felt extremely pleased, thinking that he was afraid of him.

“Indeed, as long as my master’s treasure is around, I am undefeatable! Unfortunately, I need to use a lot of my demon power every time I use it. Hence, I can’t rely on it too much unless it’s extremely necessary. Now it seems like this white-robed young man isn’t that frightening. Perhaps I don’t even need to use the jade ornament anymore to deal with him.”

The white tiger kept the jade ornament. Then, he took out an umbrella-shaped magic treasure which gave off a bloody stench and used it against Ning Fan.

“Since you insist on interrupting my business, I will devour you together then! ‘Cosmos Opening Umbrella’!”

The bloody umbrella flew into the sky and spread out widely, giving out countless rays of dazzling light. It sucked Ning Fan and the ancient demon into the world within the umbrella.

It was a small chiliocosm with a roiling sea of blood which stretched endlessly into the distance. The ancient demon had put Ning Fan into this world so that he could kill him inside here.

“A small chiliocosm?” Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with surprise. This white tiger not only had the uncommon jade ornament but also a small chiliocosm cosmos treasure. He must be somewhat unusual in order to possess these items.

The blood ocean below Ning Fan’s feet suddenly gave off a thick and heavy blood mist which washed over him. Standing in the blood mist, he immediately felt that his magic power was greatly restricted and had been slowly sealed off by the mist.

This blood umbrella was definitely extraordinary. Not only could one use it to trap their enemies in a small chiliocosm, but they could also use the blood sea in the world to seal off the magic power and cultivation bases of their enemies.

Even a Void Fragmentation Realm old monster might not necessarily possess this kind of profound magic treasure.

Ning Fan did not dare neglect it for another second. He instantly took out a smooth bright blood sword from his pouch and slashed the blood mist in front of him.

The blood mist behaved like it had met the bane of its existence and parted for Ning Fan’s sword.

The white tiger was still feeling pleased with himself after successfully trapping Ning Fan inside the umbrella world in a single attempt.

Anyhow, this blood umbrella is also one of my master’s magic treasures. Even though it isn’t as powerful as the Spirit Bone Jade Ornament, it’s still extraordinary.

But when he saw Ning Fan cutting apart the blood mist using his blood sword, his face was instantly filled with terror. It was because he had once again recognized the origin of the blood sword Ning Fan was holding.

“A-A blood sword that is made from the bones of an immortal blood dragon!? An immortal demon!? That is an existence comparable to a true immortal! You are a literal madman! How could you use the bones of an immortal demon to forge a weapon?!”

The confidence which filled his chest moments ago shattered once again. This time, the amount of fear he held toward Ning Fan was unprecedented.

From his perspective, Ning Fan was too scary. His master was just a True Immortal Realm being but Ning Fan used the bones of an immortal demon to forge magic treasures. He was certainly a madman!

“This is not good! I don’t want to fight you anymore! I want to run!”

The white tiger began speaking incoherently. The only thought in his mind right now was to get out of this umbrella’s world and seal Ning Fan inside.

But how could Ning Fan give him the chance to escape?

“You want to run!?”

Without giving the ancient demon the time to move, Ning Fan had already made a powerful slash with his blood sword. A bright and powerful sword light lit up the world for a while and cut the sea into halves.
