Chapter 510 - Striking Awe Into One Hundred Sects (4) (2/2)
“Since you’ve damaged my Heavenly Ghost Armor, I’ll make you pay with your life! Void Technique – Minor Void Sword!”
*Chi*
Just as Marquis You Gui changed his hand seal, the one hundred thousand ghost eyes fired out their void sword light. Thick ghost qi covered the sky.
Faced with the one hundred thousand void sword light, Ning Fan’s expression remained as calm and tranquil as usual. He lifted his hand to take out a second jade slip and crushed it.
He was aware that he would not be able to withstand Marquis You Gui’s attack relying on his current cultivation base. The only thing he could depend on right now was external items.
It was not an embarrassing thing at all. After all, he obtained the Void Fragmentation Realm jade slips from his own efforts.
The moment the jade slip broke, a wave of Void Fragmentation Realm aura force swept cross a vicinity of a few million li* (500m per li) again. Every cultivator was so surprised that they were at a loss for words.
“How can this be possible?! You actually have another Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip!?” Marquis You Gui roared in disbelief.
His body was already injured in the first place. When Thunder Sovereign defeated him in the past, his cultivation base directly regressed from the Void Fragmentation Realm. His serious injuries had yet to heal although it had been several ten thousand years.
With painstaking efforts, he managed to regain his Absolute Void Stage strength. All he wanted now was to recover his Void Fragmentation Realm strength as soon as possible. Even though he had taken Ning Fan’s attack, the damage he received was still within a tolerable range thanks to his Heavenly Ghost Armor…
However, if he receives the same attack from Ning Fan once more, it would probably harm his foundation. He would not die but the time it would take for him to regain his Void Fragmentation Realm power would be extended infinitely. Under normal circumstances, the probability of Ning Fan possessing two Void Fragmentation Realm jade slips at one time was close to zero. Thus, he thought that Ning Fan would certainly not have the chance to injure Marquis You Gui for the second time!
But how could Marquis You Gui imagine that Ning Fan actually have a second Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip?!
When that jade slip was crushed, the shadow of a giant appeared in the vast sky once again. However, this giant’s shadow was a fiery red one.
This jade slip was left by the fifteenth generation ancestor of the Mist Horn Clan. The skills that ancestor was most proficient in were skills related to the fire element.
The chants of devil scriptures filled the surroundings.
That fiery red giant coldly stared at Marquis You Gui and suddenly lifted one of its fingers to point at him.
“The Great Furnace of Heaven and Earth!”
In the next moment, countless columns of flames appeared out of thin air, surrounding Marquis You Gui. The flames covered an area of ten thousand li* (500m per li) in the vast sky, forming a humongous dark red furnace which trapped Marquis You Gui and his one hundred thousand ghost eyes inside the flames.
Within seconds, the one hundred thousand ghost eyes were incinerated and the one hundred thousand rays of sword light were destroyed!
There were more and more cracks on Marquis You Gui’s Heavenly Ghost Armor. He could not withstand the heat of the great furnace and began wailing his lungs out.
“Why would this happen?! He is merely an ant. How did he get two Void Fragmentation Realm jade slips? How is this possible?!” King Lan Ling slammed the table beside him and rose to his feet in disbelief.
All the cultivators there were as quiet as cicadas in winter. They could not imagine what kind of attack Marquis You Gui had received that made him yell so pathetically.
The shadow of the fiery red giant, the great furnace and the flames occupying the sky eventually vanished as if they had never existed. Snowflakes continued to fall from the sky.
With the protection of his Heavenly Ghost Armor, Marquis You Gui was still alive. However, his injuries got aggravated and his foundation was already damaged… Moreover, his Heavenly Ghost Armor was filled with so many cracks that it looked as if it was going to break apart at any moment.
If he takes another Void Fragmentation Realm attack, his Heavenly Ghost Armor would certainly be destroyed and it would be hard for him not to suffer more severe injuries.
However, he did not believe that Ning Fan was still in possession of such heaven-defying Void Fragmentation Realm jade slips.
“A lowly Void Inquiry Stage ant! How dare you cross me?! You should die! You deserve death!!”
Marquis You Gui’s eyes turned bloodshot. He made a series of hand seals with his ten fingers to perform a secret technique. His weak and crooked body that was giving off black mist suddenly grew taller, turning into an eight thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall giant.
The giant did not have a mouth, a nose nor any other orifice. However, his entire body was filled with strange eyeballs, their number numerous.
All of the eyeballs had a mysterious magatama[1] symbol.
By just looking at that giant of eyeballs, Ning Fan immediately felt dizzy. He nearly fell into an endless illusory technique.
It was an extremely terrifying illusory technique. It was clearly an illusion but the illusory attacks it made seemed extremely real and tangible.
This technique had actually grasped a trace of the profound meaning of ‘True’. If an illusory technique fully becomes ‘true’, Ning Fan would not be able to see through it even if he has his demon and devil eyes!
King Lan Ling’s expression contained dread and fear. As far as he knew, this technique was Marquis You Gui’s strongest technique in the past. Even the Rain Sovereign was unable to break it when he encountered it last time.
“Zhou Ming! Zhou Ming! Zhou Ming! You’ve harmed my foundation and even damaged my Heavenly Ghost Armor. I’m going to fight you… to the death! ‘True Hell Technique’!”
*Roar*
When the giant of eyeballs made a hand seal, countless dark light rays shot out from those ghost eyes. Countless malevolent spirits and ghosts emerged out of thin air in heaven and earth. All of them were created from void power.
In the sky that was filled with terrifying screams and roars, the void power summoned a gigantic evil spirit. As soon as it appeared, it lifted its foot, trying to stomp on Ning Fan’s head.
Just a single footprint of that evil spirit was as large as the entire Northern Cold Country!
The force of the stomp was incredibly close to that of a Void Fragmentation Realm attack!
Ning Fan was slightly taken aback. Even though this evil spirit was an illusion produced by the illusory technique, there was a trace of ‘true’ power that turned that illusion into reality, turning the harmless illusory technique into the deadliest weapon…
In the past, Marquis You Gui must have been a Void Fragmentation Realm expert whose name shook the entire world. This technique was definitely a heaven-defying one.
Even so, it was impossible for Ning Fan to surrender to him!
Ning Fan inhaled deeply and patted his storage pouch. He took out the third Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip and broke it.
All of a sudden, all the cultivators watching the battle suddenly stood up. They just could not believe their eyes.
King Lan Ling who had been maintaining his composure was completely startled.
As for Marquis You Gui who had transformed into a giant of eyeballs, he gnashed his teeth in hatred and let out a discontented roar when he saw Ning Fan’s actions.
“You actually still possess a third Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip… How is this possible?!!!”
