Chapter 532 - The End of Bone Sovereign! (1/2)
(Unedited)
The fire cauldron that Giant Zhi Huo summoned was transformed by the heavenly tribulation flames. Thus, its power was extraordinary.
Each spark of flames contained an ancient rune, making it difficult even for Bone Sovereign to tear the cauldron apart and escape alive!
In the critical moment between life and death, Bone Sovereign’s right eye shot out a blood-red lightning ray. It was an intent realm power called the Absolute Realm. It was a power that Bone Sovereign learned from his past encounters with the heavenly tribulations and it contained a power equivalent to the heavenly tribulation!
When the heavenly tribulation lightning and the heavenly tribulation flames clashed, the pill cauldron broke with a loud bang. The remaining red lightning of the Absolute Realm instantly struck the Giant Zhi Huo, inflicting serious damage to the latter!
*Bang*
As the pill cauldron was broken, Bone Sovereign finally got out alive. However, he had suffered an extremely severe injury and his cultivation base regressed once more, causing him to be left with only the Void Pierce Stage power.
He could no longer maintain his giant form and already returned to the appearance of a young man in grey robes.
As for Giant Zhi Huo, nearly half of his puppet body was destroyed after receiving Bone Sovereign’s Absolute Realm power head-on. It was evident to see how powerful Bone Sovereign’s attack was!
Giant Huo’s cultivation base was at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm and he rarely had an opponent among experts at the same level as him.
Bone Sovereign, however, was once an expert at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm. Even if his cultivation base had fallen to the same level as Giant Zhi Huo, his strength was slightly stronger than the latter!
After taking an attack from Bone Sovereign, the giant already could not continue fighting anymore, unless it was fully repaired.
Even so, Bone Sovereign’s eyes still contained deep astonishment!
“I understand now. That Void Fragmentation Realm puppet of yours is the Dao Guardian that controls the heavenly tribulations! You’re a madman to actually capture a Dao Guardian and turn it into your puppet. You’ve thoroughly offended the First Ring Heavenly Dao of the Nine Worlds in the mortal realm!”
Ning Fan did not care about what Bone Sovereign said. He just glanced at Giant Zhi Huo who was severely damaged and let out a faint sigh.
Bone Sovereign was not an ordinary person. When he was in his best condition, he was an expert at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm who was comparable to Moksha Sovereign.
It was already rare for Giant Zhi Huo to successfully weaken Bone Sovereign’s cultivation base. Since it could no longer be used at the moment, Ning Fan would keep it first and repair it later to use it in the future.
Faced with Bone Sovereign whose cultivation base had fallen to the Void Pierce Stage, there was no need for Giant Zhi Huo to act as Ning Fan alone already sufficed!
After making a flick of his sleeve, Ning Fan turned the giant into a tiny figurine and kept it in his pouch.
Then, he summoned his Eight Black Burning Wings and touched his glabella to draw his Separation Slayer Sword.
He dashed straight toward Bone Sovereign in a flicker of travelling light and swung his sword in the plainest style.
“Strength!”
The sword light went straight at Bone Sovereign’s forehead carrying a massive force that could overturn mountains and fill up oceans!
Bone Sovereign raised his fist and threw a punch at the sword light. His punch also carried a vast force that could break mountains.
When Ning Fan’s sword light and Bone Sovereign’s punch collided, both of them shattered.
However, the moment the sword light was neutralized, it abruptly shot out countless hidden black fishing lines.
It was just like what Fang Si did during their fight on that day – hiding the black fishing lines within his magic technique.
The black fishing lines gave out a qi that would instill anyone with fear. Bone Sovereign did not dare to underestimate them at all as he instantly retreated ten thousand li* (500m per li) backward. However, his right arm was still punctured by the fishing lines.
All of a sudden, the life force of his right arm was completely drained as Death Qi completely engulfed it, rendering it to disintegrate into ashes suddenly!
“Ah!”
Bone Sovereign let out a cry of pain. He already lost his right arm within seconds.
He held his broken arm and looked at Ning Fan with terror in his eyes. He did not expect that Ning Fan would actually know the mysterious fishing lines technique that could erode everything aside from the Void Ignition Technique.
As a Void Fragmentation Realm sovereign being, he had extremely high pride in himself. Even so, he had to admit that he definitely was not Ning Fan’s opponent in his current condition!
If he makes a careless mistake, he, a dignified expert at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm, would die in Ning Fan’s hands today!
“Absolute Realm!”
Bone Sovereign’s right eye shot out a blood-red tribulation lightning which multiplied into one million rays and attacked Ning Fan.
Ning Fan instantly made a stomp in midair and a massive Tai Su Lightning Diagram emerged beneath him. The diagram took in seventy percent of the tribulation lightning from Bone Sovereign. At the same time, Ning Fan spread out his sword sense to eliminate the remaining thirty percent of Bone Sovereign’s Absolute Realm tribulation lightning.
Ning Fan certainly could not withstand those tribulation lightning rays if Bone Sovereign were to use it on him when he was at his peak.
However, when Bone Sovereign, who was currently at the Void Pierce Stage, used that ability, it was nothing scary.
After cancelling Bone Sovereign’s Absolute Realm attack, he did not take it easy at all.
It was because there was also a secret trump card of Bone Sovereign coming after that Absolute Realm attack.
There was a weapon hidden behind that Absolute Realm attack and it was going to sneak attack Ning Fan.
That was a golden pen that was covered in flames and frost!
As the golden pen moved, it drew a golden rune in the air which was also surrounded with flames and ice.
Ning Fan had no idea what pen it was nor what rune was that.
That golden rune then became ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) large and fell directly on Ning Fan’s head.
The aura force from the golden rune alone could make Ning Fan’s magic power stagnant, making him difficult to breathe. He also lost the ability to move his body as it seemed to have been nailed to the sky.
Ning Fan managed to raise his Separation Slayer Sword with great effort. He activated the maximum potential of ‘Strength’ and thrusted it into the golden rune above him.
Upon the collision of two massive forces, the golden rune was broken while Ning Fan’s arm lost grip of the sword due to the extreme vibration from the collision. Even the bones of his arm were nearly fractured!
That golden rune actually carried the power that was extremely close to that of an Absolute Void Stage attack!
“That golden pen looks rather familiar. It felt like I’d seen it somewhere before…” In the Profound Yin World, Luo You began pondering. She was ready at every moment to give Ning Fan a hand when he was in grave danger.
“I don’t know what that golden pen is. However, I do recognize the flames and ice on it… They are the Earth Blazing Flame and Mending Heavenly Heart which are both ranked first in the lists of Earth Flames and Heavenly Cold Qi…” Ning Fan’s expression became grim.
“This is an immortal pen that I picked up at the entrance of the Eight Region. Each stroke it makes can produce a golden rune which contains unfathomable power. How many runes can you withstand with your cultivation base?”
Bone Sovereign pointed at the golden pen in the sky, commanding it to make two strokes consecutively. In the next instant, two golden runes emerged.
The two golden runes were already equivalent to an attack from a common Absolute Void Stage expert!
The two of them turned into ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall and fell down on Ning Fan. If he tries to take the golden runes head-on again this time, the muscles and bones of his entire body would certainly break!
*Bang*
