Chapter 512 - Striking Awe Into One Hundred Sects (6) (2/2)

He tried to take Ning Fan’s life by using his Seven Orchids Technique. However, Ning Fan retaliated using the Mutual Death Technique!

“Madman! This kid is a madman! No one including the Void Refinement Realm old monsters in the history of the Shedding Orchid Sect were willing to instantly give up three thousand years of their lives!”

“I’ve lost four thousand years of life. My second primordial spirit has already become too old to battle. This kid sacrificed three thousand years of life and all he got was just a few strands of white hair!? Why didn’t he show any signs of aging?!”

“This young man… How many years of life does he have exactly?!”

Ning Fan casually removed the few strands of white hair and maintained a neutral expression.

To him who possessed one hundred and ten thousand years of life, three thousand years of life were just a trifle number.

He slowly walked towards King Lan Ling, fully unleashing his killing intent. He had already canceled the effect of his Heaven Locking Finger but King Lan Ling collapsed to the ground without being able to move at all, much less have the strength to resist Ning Fan. He was already close to the end of his life.

“Zhou Ming, how dare you hurt our master?!”

That Void Glimpse Stage elder of the Lan Ling Sect only had the guts to reproach. He did not dare to get up to the platform at all.

Not only was he afraid of Ning Fan’s Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip but also his Mutual Death Technique…

When his voice fell, only a few hundreds of hot-headed cultivators of the Lan Ling Sect dashed towards the jade platform, trying to protect King Lan Ling.

However, before these cultivators could even get close to the platform, all of them died with their blood splashed onto the platform as Ning Fan spread his sword sense.

King Lan Ling raised his head and looked at Ning Fan with his old weary eyes. He could only feel that the current Ning Fan had become an undefeatable devil lord.

“Don’t ever mess with me. This time, I’ll just kill your second primordial spirit. If there is a next time, the one that perishes will be your true body!”

*Bang*

Ning Fan lifted his foot and stomped, crushing King Lan Ling’s second primordial spirit that nearly died from old age to meat paste. The Seven Orchids Technique was automatically destroyed without needing him to take any actions against it.

Before King Lan Ling’s second primordial spirit died, his eyes had fear but also resentment and hatred.

But when he heard of Ning Fan’s threat, he did not dare to think about getting revenge on him at all. With Ning Fan’s capabilities, if he kills his way into the Lan Ling Sect, he was not sure whether his true body, who was currently in a seclusion to heal his wounds, would be able to withstand a Void Fragmentation Realm strike as well as the Mutual Death Technique…”

“Sect Master… has lost!”

All the people of the Lan Ling Sect were filled with fear. They really wanted to know whether or not Ning Fan would wipe out the remaining of them…

Each of the cultivators at the audience seating were in bewilderment. The reason why they were flabbergasted was because Ning Fan could kill King Lan Ling’s second primordial spirit even without using any Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip.

The Void Inquiry Stage Ning Fan could already kill Lan King and Marquis You Gui.

If he continues to grow stronger, who would dare to mess with him?! Perhaps even Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters would be unwilling to provoke him!

“It seems like there is no longer any meaning for us to stay at the Giant Devil Clan… With Zhou Ming here, no one could take Feng Xueyan away…”

Xu Qiuling’s frown was not loosened up… Is Feng Xueyan’s tribulation really going to simply end like this…?

But why?

Her heart raced.

As a matter of fact, Ning Fan also discovered that the uneasy feeling within him intensified after he had killed King Lan Ling.

He was not proficient in divination technique. Therefore, he could not foresee the cause of this uneasiness. However, deep inside, his instinct was telling him something was going to happen. Thus, he did not immediately wipe out the rest of the Lan Ling Sect.

Just as he was contemplating, the snowy sky above them suddenly cracked and formed a huge opening.

The Pill Island that was floating in midair was directly broken into two halves by that hole that appeared out of the blue!

Countless cultivators of the Pill Island were in shock. Some of them turned into rays of travelling light while some others rode their magic treasures to fly down from the island as quickly as possible.

The sky was filled with the gigantic rocks that resulted from the destruction of the Pill Island!

“What is that?!”

Countless cultivators looked into the sky. In the next second, a humongous blood-red tree emerged in the huge opening of the sky. Some kind of flower buds seemed to have grown on the tree but it had yet to blossom or bear any fruit.

Below the blood-red tree, six layers of blood oceans appeared.

In the province of the Northern Cold Country, eight enormous devil pillars rose from the ground. One of them was located just right at the Lan Ling Sect’s seating. The devil pillar pierced from the ground, directly killing nearly ten thousand low grade cultivators of the sect!

All the blood essence of the dead cultivators flew towards the sky and went inside the six layers of blood seas.

After that, some cultivators who were close to the devil pillar also exploded into pieces and died without a warning. Their blood splashed all over the snowy ground…

As for some cultivators of the Giant Devil Clan, they also suddenly exploded and died a violent death just like the others. The scene was extremely ghastly.

“Who is so bold to actually kill the cultivators of my one hundred plus sects randomly?!”

Each of the Void Refinement Realm old monsters shifted their gazes to Ning Fan. It seemed like they were suspecting Ning Fan for slaughtering their men. However, none of them dared to question him because they were afraid of his ferocious might.

Ning Fan could not help but feel helpless about it. Why would others be suspicious of him whenever someone takes the lives of the innocent?

Well, he naturally did not need to explain anything because the figures of eight Void Refinement Realm experts had appeared below the six layers of blood seas. Without a doubt, they were the initiators of the strange and horrifying occurrence.

In the meantime, Ning Fan also realized that all his feelings of unease magnified after the eight ancestors had shown themselves.

“Are they the ones I have overlooked?!” Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with cold light.

“My eight old ancestors, what’s all this about?!” Ju Qing looked at the eight ancestors in disbelief.

Weren’t the eight old ancestors scheming for a big plan? Didn’t they refuse to show themselves?

Then, why did they act now?

Anyway, it’s still acceptable that they killed the cultivators of the one hundred plus sects. But why did they even kill the members of the Giant Devil Clan?!

“It’s nothing. Just taking the blood of some sacrificial offerings… Of course, the greatest sacrificial offering is none other than Feng Xueyan.”

King Ju Lu made a cold smirk. All of a sudden, he lifted his finger and pointed downwards while standing several ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) away.

In an instant, the artificial Mo Luo Blood within Feng Xueyan’s body began to burn, causing her to cry her lungs out in agony.

Ahh!

Ju Qing could not believe what was happening in front of his eyes. The eight old ancestors were actually harming Feng Xueyan!?

What he found even more difficult to believe was the even more cold-blooded words that King Ju Lu said.

“Activate the Boundless Evil Sea Formation. Sacrifice the blood of everyone here like sacrificial offerings until the flowers on the ancestral tree blossom!”

“What?!” Countless members of the Giant Devil Clan could not believe what they had just heard. These eight Void Refinement Realm experts who appeared out of nowhere were trying to turn everyone into a sacrificial offering?!

Some members of the Giant Devil Clan had seen the portraits of the clan’s ancestors. Therefore, they recognized that these eight Void Refinement Realm experts were eight of the clan’s ancestors.

However, how could they believe that these eight ancestors would want to kill their own clan members?!

“Evil Sea, initiate!”

The eight devil pillars and the six layers of blood sea spread out layers of formation light which sealed the area, trapping everyone within the formation light.

In the formation light, those cultivators whose cultivation base was not strong began melting into blood and pus and died.

Countless cultivators of the one hundred plus sects tried to attack the formation light. However, even though all the Void Refinement Realm experts of the sects joined forces, they were still unable to break it.

Ning Fan stood in front of Feng Xueyan and touched her multiple times with his finger. However, he still could not extinguish the flames of the devil bloodline within her.

Ning Fan’s eyes looked anxious. If her devil blood continues to burn, Feng Xueyan would be burned to ashes in just an hour…

He wanted to save her but he realized in the end that even if he possessed the Mo Luo Ancestral Talisman, he was still unable to get rid of the hidden trouble of Feng Xueyan’s devil blood within an hour.

He actually was unable to save her!

“Why? Why?! Father, how could you bear to treat Feng Xueyan and our Giant Devil Clan like this?!” Ju Qing shouted in grief and anger. His indignant cry was not for King Ju Lu and others but just to his father, Ju Yan.

Ju Yan closed his eyes in frustration without giving him any explanation.

For the continuation of the, he really had no choice but to sacrifice the descendants of the clan…

Feng Xueyan’s body was trembling. The tremor of her body made Ning Fan feel extremely furious due to his inability to help her.

He had eliminated the Ghost Eye Clan. He had destroyed Lan Ling. He had wiped out all the formidable enemies.

In the end, however, the ones who hurt Feng Xueyan the most were her relatives…

Perhaps the emotional anguish she felt right now was even more unbearable than the pain she felt from the flame that was burning her body…

“The Eight Ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan! Go to hell!”

Ning Fan’s fist was fully covered with golden purple mist. Then, he threw that punch at the Boundless Evil Sea Formation.

Upon impact, that formation which remained unbreakable after all the attempts everyone had made actually began to erode away!

“What?!”

Countless cultivators inside the formation were filled with amazement.

Those who were filled with the most disbelief were none other than the eight ancestors!

This punch contained Ning Fan’s comprehension about samsara.

This punch contained Ning Fan’s persistence and determination!

Ning Fan did not know how he could save Feng Xueyan. However, if she dies, he would make every single person who caused harm to her to die with her!

As for the eight ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan, they did not deserve to become her ancestors!

Ning Fan turned into a dazzling light and soared into the sky. His aura force was filled with his determination to eliminate everything!

Out of the eight ancestors, the mean lady who was always disdainful towards Ning Fan confronted him with a cold looking expression. She waved her hand and summoned a flying sword as fast as lightning, trying to cut him down.

“I’m Bi Tong, the former clan leader of the Giant Devil Clan. My soul has been attached to the ancestral tree. Even if you have a Void Fragmentation Realm strike, you won’t be able to kill me! No matter how many times I die, I will be revived under the ancestral tree. As for killing you, however, it’s similar to cutting down an ant!”

“The ancestral tree, huh…?”

Ning Fan’s eyes glowed with cold light. He broke the incoming flying sword with a punch. Then, he turned his hand and activated the power of his Yin Yang Locket to condense a half black and half white rope that was not made out of gold or metal.

It was a type of bewitching technique of the Yin Yang Transformation. Its grade was even higher than that of the Yin Plucking Finger. However, the user would need to have at least Void Refinement Realm power in order to use it.

Ning Fan could indeed tell after the ancestral tree had appeared, Old Ancestor Bi Tong was surrounded by a strange aura force. It was as if she would not perish no matter how many times she is killed. But so what?!

Ning Fan swung his arm and the black and white rope flew towards Bi Tong at an unbelievable speed.

“Yin Imprisoning Rope!” Ning Fan muttered coldly.

Old Ancestor Bi Tong was stunned after seeing Ning Fan break her flying sword with a punch. But when she saw Ning Fan try to use a rope to tie her up, she wore a derisive look.

“Are you trying to catch me with an unknown rope? Extremely ridiculous!”

She flew backwards and stayed away from the rope. However, the Yin Imprisoning Rope suddenly accelerated. At a speed faster than her when she was retreating, the rope caught up with her and bound her limbs tightly!

Just as she was tied up by the rope, all of her magic power was actually disabled, preventing her from mustering any trace of her power!

With her undead and unkillable state, she should be indestructible and should not be afraid of Ning Fan.

Besides, generally speaking, she could use her connection with the ancestral tree to revive herself under the tree when she was trapped by common magic treasures, allowing her to break free from any kinds of restraints.

This Yin Imprisoning Rope, however, was too terrifying. As soon as it got around her, it even cut off her connection with the ancestral tree.

If she is killed in her current state, she certainly could not revive herself under the ancestral tree!

“Don’t kill me!” Old Ancestor Bi Tong actually pleaded to Ning Fan.

“Kill you? You’ll become my human cauldron and your life will be worse than death!” Ning Fan shook the Yin Imprisoning Rope and tossed Bi Tong into his Cauldron Ring. Then, he charged at the seven other ancestors without stopping.

He took out the fifth Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip and crushed it with his hand!

All of a sudden, a howling Void Fragmentation Realm strike rushed out from the jade slip. It did not go after the seven other ancestors but the ancestral tree that emerged in the opening of the sky instead.

Ning Fan did not know how he could save Feng Xueyan. However, after the exchange with Old Ancestor Bi Tong, his keen senses discovered that the ancestral tree was rather abnormal and it must be destroyed at once.

He might or might not be able to save her by destroying the ancestral tree… However, he wanted to give it a try no matter what!

The six other ancestors except for King Ju Lu were shocked and furious when they figured out what Ning Fan was up to.

“Zhou Ming, how dare you attack the ancestral tree and ruin the great matter of our Giant Devil Clan?! We’ll make you die without a place for your burial!”

Only King Ju Lu seemed to have anticipated that Ning Fan would try to destroy the ancestral tree. With a cold smirk, he took out a jade slip which also contained an attack at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm!

In the sky, two gigantic shadows appeared in succession. One of them turned into Ju Mo while the other one turned into Ling Jiao. Both of them displayed their Void Fragmentation Realm attacks!

When their attacks clashed, heaven and earth cracked. But the ancestral tree was not damaged at all.

“Zhou Ming, you aren’t the only one who has Void Fragmentation Realm jade slips! You’re still too young and soft to destroy the ancestral tree and make me your enemy…”

King Ju Lu taunted. In the next moment, beneath the ancestral tree in the sky above, a long-lost wild laughter resounded.

“Little Cucumber, don’t worry. You want to cut down this tree, don’t you? Let me help you! I’m going to chop this tree into pieces in no time!”

Yue Lingkong suddenly appeared below the tree and her appearance was beyond everyone’s expectations.

She raised the moon blade in her hand and swung it towards the roots of the ancestral tree. At the same time, King Ju Lu roared in great anger.

“NO!”
