Chapter 534 - A Rogue Demon – Min Luo (1/2)
Chapter 534: Chapter 534: A Rogue Demon – Min Luo
Ning Fan had left behind the Low Grade Seventh Revolution vulnerary pill to Mei Chen.
He then returned to Seven Apricot City and brought Ming Que along with him to head over the Dark Sparrow’s Grave of the Sinister Sparrow Sect.
Without a doubt, when little Ming Que left the Dark Sparrow’s Grave secretly in the past, Min Luo Treant must have been extremely worried about her.
Needless to say, Ming Que would also miss Grandpa Min Luo very much after being separated from him for so many years.
The two of them arrived at the Earth Origin Palace of the Sinister Sparrow Sect. This time, Ning Fan did not use the teleportation formation of that place to get to the underground like before.
He put his hand around Ming Que’s slender waist and directly displayed the Earth Movement Technique, diving one hundred thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) down into the underground.
The weight of the one hundred thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) of earth was enough to crush a Gold Core Realm cultivator to death. To Ning Fan, however, it naturally was nothing.
The two of them appeared on the first floor of the Dark Sparrow’s Grave. The place in front of their eyes was pitch-black. The sky was cold and rainy. The rain intent did not disperse, just like before.
The rain on the first floor of the grave carried the chills that one could feel in early spring. Hence, it was a spring rain.
Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with remembrance. Holding the blood umbrella over his head, he accompanied Ming Que to walk in the falling spring rain.
Ming Que, on the other hand, was filled with concern. She was chewing Fifth Revolution pills while looking at Ning Fan with a pleading look.
“Big Brother Biscuit, when I left the Dark Sparrow’s Grave in the past, I did not say goodbye to Grandpa. He must be very worried and angry at me… When we meet him later, you must put in a good word for me. Please don’t let grandpa smack my buttocks…”
“Silly girl. Your grandpa might look cold and stern but he is very nice to you. He can’t be happier to see you return. How will he still think about whacking you…? He is your grandpa. He is your relative…”
“Is it true?! Will Granpda really not beat me?!” A ray of demonic black light flickered in Ming Que’s dark eyes. She immediately became cheerful again after hearing what Ning Fan said.
While she was jumping and waving her hands happily, she actually released a hint of Void Inquiry Stage aura force…
During the time when Ning Fan went to the Demon Sinister Forest, Ming Que had already finished all the pills that she had and broken through to the Void Inquiry Stage…
When Ning Fan returned to Seven Apricot City and saw her attain the Void Inquiry Stage, he was literally speechless.
It was just less than a year since she had broken through to the Void Glimpse Stage. She now had advanced into the Void Inquiry Stage… Wouldn’t her speed in cultivation be a little too terrifying?!
However, after giving it some thought, Ning Fan found that it was quite reasonable for her to break through to the Void Inquiry Stage so rapidly.
Her body was sealed with a void poison. It was a seal that Ning Fan personally placed on her forty years ago. It was the poison from the tail wing of an Immemorial Dark Sparrow and it contained an immeasurable amount of demon power.
The power that the void poison contained was equivalent to the total sum of magic power of a Void Refinement Realm cultivator.
Before breaking through to the Void Glimpse Stage, Ming Que had yet to assimilate the power from it.
However, after attaining the Void Glimpse Stage, she began assimilating its demon power while nibbling Fifth Revolution pills. Her magic power increased more than one fold within a year and thus made her break through to the Void Inquiry Stage so quickly…
That little pill devil was truly heaven-defying. However, she had already assimilated the void poison completely. Therefore, her cultivation base would not progress at such terrifying speed anymore.
In order to break through to the Void Pierce Stage, the only choice she had was to chew Sixth Revolution pills…
“Big Brother Biscuit, I miss Grandpa. I miss my rain babies, wolf babies and medicine babies…” Ming Que chirped like a happy twittering bird. Ning Fan just listened to her with a faint smile on his face while walking toward the lower floors.
The second floor of the Dark Sparrow’s Grave was filled with summer rain.
The third floor of the grave had no rain.
Autumn rain fell on the fourth floor and ice rain fell on the fifth floor.
Ning Fan stood on the fifth floor for a long time. The pit of earth flames that he used to concoct pills for Ming Que at this place in the past was still at the same spot.
He could still remember the sentence which struck him back then.
What is rain? If I turn my palm, it becomes clouds. If I turn my palm again, it will rain!
All those Divine Transformation Realm demon beasts which laughed at Ning Fan in the past immediately prostrated themselves on the ground upon seeing Ning Fan’s appearance. None of them dared to steal a glance at him.
In their eyes, the white-robed young man who was holding a blood umbrella was too dangerous. He was someone who was capable of slaughtering every last one of the demon beasts on the fifth floor easily!
Those ferocious beasts could never think that the white-robed malevolent being appearing in front of their eyes was the insignificant Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator forty years ago.
“Big Brother Biscuit, they looked down on you last time. Do you want to teach them a lesson?!” Ming Que beamed, revealing her adorable canine teeth. She adjusted her golden crown and swung her fists, looking as if she wanted to have a fight with those ferocious beasts.
“The past is dead. Let’s just head to the sixth floor…”
Ning Fan gently held Ming Que’s tender palm in his hand to prevent her from running around and causing unnecessary trouble.
Holding the blood umbrella over their heads, they walked past the ice rain. The coldness was no longer bone-chilling. It could only make Ning Fan feel slightly cold.
The sixth floor of the Dark Sparrow’s Grave was filled with sword rain!
Inducing killing intent with an intention. Summoning swords with the killing intent. Forming the rain with the swords and killing others with the rain…
It was the Slaughtering Rain. However, it could no longer make Ning Fan’s mind waver at all depending on its killing intent.
As Ning fan was walking on the sixth floor, he spread out his spirit sense to cover the vicinity of two hundred thousand li*(500m per li). Gradually, his brows were drawn slightly together.
Strange. It was very strange…
There actually were not as many Void Refinement Realm ferocious beasts as there were in the past on the sixth floor.
In the past, there were at least one hundred plus Void Refinement Realm ferocious beasts here. Today, however, there were just five to six of them left and they seemed to be carrying serious injuries. As soon as they saw Ning Fan approach them, they were trembling in fear instantly.
There were still many traces of an intense battle on the mountains and rivers around the floor…
“Hmm? There should have been many demon babies on the sixth floor in the past. Why are there just as few as these now…?” Even Ming Que had noticed the abnormal situation.
With a frown, Ning Fan spread out his spirit sense to inspect the qi of the magic power that was left behind in the area.
The qi of the expert who destroyed the mountains and rivers here is very familiar…
“I see. It’s him who killed a vast number of Void Refinement Realm ferocious beasts here… Let’s have a look at the seventh floor.”
Ning Fan seemed to have an answer in mind and directly held Ming Que to head to the seventh floor.
Forty years ago, there were six demon beasts which were at the First Heavenly Layer and Second Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm in total residing on the seventh floor. Today, however, there was literally none of them…
The thunder and rain on the seventh floor was still as wild and violent as before. It still contained Que Shenzi’s realization – the flat ground creates the lightning and the sky produces the rain, I want to kill!”
However, the landscape within one million li* (500m per li) was flattened and could not be restored to its original state!
Ning Fan spread out his spirit sense and discovered six traces of extremely dense baleful qi that were lingering on the seventh floor. Each of them was left behind by a deceased Void Fragmentation Realm expert.
Even though Ning Fan had tentatively figured out who killed these ferocious beasts, he was still immensely astonished… All the six Void Fragmentation Realm ferocious beasts of the seventh floor had actually died in that person’s hands!
“Hmm? The sixth Void Fragmentation Realm demon babies on the seventh floor are all gone as well…” Ming Que said in a surprised tone.
“They’re all dead. Someone has killed them.” Ning Fan uttered indifferently.
“H-How come?! The six demon babies of this floor are all at the Void Fragmentation Realm. Who was so powerful to actually kill them all…? This is too frightening!” Ming Que said with her mouth agape in shock.
“Let’s go and take a look at the eighth floor…”
The eight floor of the Dark Sparrow’s Grave was filled with heaven defying rain!
Ning Fan and Ming Que set foot on the eight floor together. As soon as he saw the war-worn area and sensed the baleful qi that was lingering on the place, he immediately sighed and said.
“There is no need to see anymore. All the Void Fragmentation Realm demon beasts on the eighth floor are dead…”
In the past, there were three Void Fragmentation Realm experts residing on the eight floor. Two of them were at the Third Heavenly Layer and the other one was at the Fourth Heavenly Layer… All of them had once tried to attack Ning Fan.
“So many Void Fragmentation Realm demon babies were dead. Will Grandpa also be in danger?! Who’s it? Who entered the Dark Sparrow’s Grave and killed so many Void Fragmentation Realm demon babies?! I want to go and find Grandpa. I’m very worried about him. He must not die!” Ming Que nearly cried out of anxiety.
Ning Fan patted her head without knowing whether to laugh or cry and comforted her.
“Silly girl, haven’t you noticed it yet? The person who killed all the beasts from the sixth floor to the eighth floor was none other than your Grandpa Min Luo. Other than him, who else in the Rain World could be so powerful as to kill all the nine Void Fragmentation Realm demon beasts in the Dark Sparrow’s Grave… ?”
“Eh? Really? That means that Grandpa is safe, right? It nearly scared me to death. I thought something bad happened to Grandpa also.” Ming Que patted her chest adorably and put on her cheerful face again.
Ning Fan let out a light sigh in amazement. Even experts like Rain Sovereign and Yun Tianjue also would not be able to wipe out all the nine Void Fragmentation Realm beasts in the grave.
Min Luo Treant, however, managed to slaughter every last one of them with just his own strength. His cultivation base was indeed unimaginably high!
Among the nine Void Fragmentation Realm ferocious beasts, the one with the strongest cultivation base was at the Fourth Heavenly Layer. Even so, all of them still ended up dead in Min Luo’s hands.
Ning Fan recalled that Min Luo had one hundred thousand Divine Transformation Realm clones in total in the past. When the demon power of one hundred thousand clones combined into one and formed into a single clone, that clone’s cultivation base would reach the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm!
Since just his clone alone was already at the Fifth Heavenly Layer, what exactly was the cultivation base of Min Luo Treant’s true body?
Ning Fan had never thought about this question in the past. Today, however, he was really interested to find out.
Ming Que and he walked to the entrance of the ninth floor. A short and small old man stood there like a tree stump. With a somber rigid old face, he glared at Ming Que angrily. His turbid old eyes clearly contained a hint of joy but he deliberately pretended to be fierce and scolded Ming Que.
