Chapter 520 - That Feeling Goes Deep Into The Bone Marrow (1/2)

Hong Yi stood beside Ning Fan with an unsympathetic expression to guard him.

She was like a peerless ferocious beast. As she stood there, none of the undead spirits in the Divine Region dared to attack Ning Fan.

Meanwhile, Ning Fan was focused on assimilating the power of the thunder fruits.

The power contained inside the thunder fruits were extremely pure, making it easy to refine them. With the refining speed of Ning Fan’s Yin Yang Devil Veins, it did not take him long to devour all of the thunder fruits.

With just a wave of his hand, he could normally swallow tens of Nascent Soul Realm cherry-like thunder fruits and digest all of their power.

When the Nascent Soul Realm thunder fruits went into his abdomen, they were completely refined into pure magic power.

At first, every one hundred Nascent Soul Realm thunder fruits contained five units of magic power.

After consuming over a thousand thunder fruits, Ning Fan broke through to the Mid Nascent Soul Realm.

After taking in more than four thousand thunder fruits, he achieved the Late Nascent Soul Realm.

When he had gobbled up twenty-five thousand plus thunder fruits, his cultivation base rose to the Peak Nascent Soul Realm. However, his body began to show some resistance toward the power of the Nascent Soul Realm fruits.

Afterward, one thousand Nascent Soul Realm thunder fruits could not even give him a single unit of magic power.

Ning Fan had spent one whole month finishing all of the Nascent Soul Realm thunder fruits. The only reason why he could progress so fast was all thanks to Hong Yi who activated her magic power to assist him in refining the power of the thunder fruits.

He could still remember that when he was near the end of refining all of the Nascent Soul Realm thunder fruits, he could not even gain one unit of magic power even after continuously consuming ten thousand thunder fruits…

His body was close to fully resisting the Nascent Soul Realm thunder fruits. Without a doubt, he had eaten so many of Nascent Soul Realm thunder fruits to the point where the fruits completely had no effect on him anymore.

However, even after he was nearly done with several millions of Nascent Soul Realm thunder fruits, Ning Fan’s separated soul still had yet to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm.

“Your speed in refining the thunder fruits is a bit too slow!” Hong Yi sounded a little dissatisfied.

“Slow? I don’t think so.”

Ning Fan shook his head, disagreeing with her. He was definitely not slow. At least, he was one hundred times faster than ordinary cultivators.

He still had several hundred thousands of Nascent Soul Realm thunder fruits that he had yet to consume. Even so, he stopped taking in those fruits and started swallowing the Divine Transformation Realm thunder fruits.

The number of Divine Transformation Realm thunder fruits he had almost reached fifty thousand. Each of them contained around 5 units of magic power.

After consuming 500 Divine Transformation Realm thunder fruits, the cultivation base of his separated soul had gained enough magic power to break through to the Early Divine Transformation Realm.

“You’re now at the Divine Transformation Realm. I hope you can directly attain the Void Refinement Realm with these thunder fruits.” Hong Yi said without any emotion.

“Hopefully.”

Ning Fan settled his mind and concentrated on refining the Divine Transformation Realm thunder fruits.

Since the Divine Transformation Realm thunder fruits contained a lot more magic power, it certainly would take Ning Fan more time to refine them compared to the Nascent Soul Realm thunder fruits.

Only after another whole month had passed did Ning Fan digest every last one of the fifty thousand Divine Transformation Realm thunder fruits. However, since his body had grown resistant to those fruits, his magic power was only increased by twenty-two thousand units, allowing him to attain the Late Divine Transformation Realm.

Then, Ning Fan’s eyes fell upon the Void Refinement Realm Dao Fruits. Ning Fan sighed gently. It seemed like even if he swallowed all of these Void Refinement Realm thunder fruits, it would not be enough for his separated soul to achieve the Void Refinement Realm.

There were only around 500 Void Refinement Realm thunder fruits in total. Each of them contained nearly 500 units of magic power.

It took him another month to finish all of those fruits.

Up until now, the magic power that his separated soul had amassed reached fifty-five thousand units. It was nearly the same as his true body’s total magic power already, reaching the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm.

“Could they only improve my separated soul to the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm…?” Ning Fan was slightly disappointed but he was still content with the result he got.

These several millions of thunder fruits were what he got after Hong Yi had slaughtered almost every last one of the undead spirits in the Divine Region.

Besides, it was all thanks to Hong Yi’s help which enabled him to make his separated soul advance to the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm in just three months.

If Ning Fan were to depend on himself to hunt down undead spirits to increase his cultivation base, he could definitely not kill any Divine Transformation Realm undead spirits, much less those at the Void Refinement Realm with his previous Early Nascent Soul Realm power.

With Hong Yi’s assistance, his separated soul had gained an additional fifty-five thousand units of magic power within three months. This really was a welcomed surprise.

If his separated soul gets out of the Sovereign Tomb and returns to his true physical body, his true body’s magic power would immediately exceed one million units!

Ning Fan sat on the ground in a meditative position to stabilize the cultivation base of his separated soul.

Hong Yi maintained her silence. Suddenly, she waved her hand and pulled a blood-red lightning power into fine threads. She then commanded them to coil around Ning Fan tightly and enveloped him inside the lightning threads like a silkworm cocooning itself in its silk.

“This is the ‘Demon Cocoon Technique’ of the demon race. You can save up a lot of time if you stabilize your cultivation base inside a demon cocoon.” Hong Yi explained.

Ning Fan sat inside the demon cocoon like a butterfly that was about to break out of its cocoon.

His expression looked stunned and vacant while staring at the blood-red thunder cocoon around him.

He felt extremely warm and safe inside the thunder cocoon… It felt just like staying inside his mother’s embrace…

It feels very familiar. Extremely familiar… It’s as if…

He felt as if he had been staying inside this thunder cocoon many years ago, waiting for the day to break out of it.

“Why would I have this feeling…?”

He felt confused, finding it difficult to understand the feeling he was currently experiencing. Eventually, he cast all of his miscellaneous thoughts to the back of his mind and focused entirely on stabilizing the cultivation base of his separated soul.

Three days had already gone by when the cultivation base of his separated soul completely stabilized. Hong Yi took off the cocoon from Ning Fan and let him out.

With a blank expression, he stared at Hong Yi.

“Have we met before…? I felt like I saw this lightning cocoon… a very long time ago…” Ning Fan suddenly asked.

“Perhaps. However, I’ve already erased all of my previous memories. I can’t really remember the past.” Hong Yi answered whimsically.

“Is that so…? Where are we going now?”

“To the Thunder God Palace located in the depths of the Divine Region to retrieve my corpse and the other half of my primordial spirit… Let’s go!”

Hong Yi made a gentle step on the ground with her hands clasped behind her back. Then, a red lotus thunder cloud appeared out of thin air to carry them and travelled toward the depths of the Divine Region at high speed.

This time, there were no longer any undead spirits or beasts trying to stop her.

Ning Fan stood behind Hong Yi on the thunder cloud, looking at her slender back.

Familiar. It looks very familiar…

He felt that he should have seen this figure somewhere before. Otherwise, it was certainly impossible for him to find it so familiar…

That feeling went deep into his bone marrow. It was as if he had spent thousands of years living with her. However, when he thought about it carefully, he found his own thoughts very laughable.

Thunder Sovereign Bu Zhou gained her fame tens of thousands of years ago and had only died ten thousand years ago. At that time, Ning Fan was not even born yet. There was no way for him to know her before his birth, much less spend thousands of years together with her…

“Stop letting your imaginations run wild. The Thunder God Palace is right in front of us. Be careful!” Hong Yi abruptly warned Ning Fan.

Ning Fan quickly raised his head and saw countless gigantic mountains standing erect in front of them.

A massive and magnificent Thunder God Palace was built on the summit of the largest mountain.

An obscure qi came out from the palace. That qi was extremely ominous, as if it belonged to a devil creature that came from the Devil Abyss.

The air gradually turned heavy and dull. The palace gave off an invisible pressure which made Ning Fan’s Half-Step Void Refinement Realm separated soul suffocate.
