Eleventh Waterway, Lingyun Pass.

Because Ning Fan captured several Immortal Emperors consecutively, Eleven Paths Different Race was greatly shocked and dared not easily emerge from the water anymore. Occasionally, when they attacked Lingyun Pass, it was only with small-scale harassment nature attacks, unable to even break through the Formation defense, leaving no need for the Masters guarding the pass to personally fight. Calculating the time, Lingyun Pass has been peaceful for nearly a year now.

During Ning Fan’s absence, the affairs of Lingyun Pass, both big and small, were decided by Jinfeng Hermit.

Jinfeng Hermit was one of the three Immortal Venerables who initially followed Ning Fan on the expedition, the other two being Lady Xiuhua and Transformed Dragon Elder.

Lady Xiuhua had long died in battle, unable to assist in guarding the pass now; as for Transformed Dragon Elder, he was once severely injured, with his physical defense destroyed, leaving only his Spirit. During the year Ning Fan was diving into the riverbed, Transformed Dragon Elder’s accumulated Heavenly Tribulation over the years finally could not be suppressed.

If his physical defense were not destroyed, he would have had a seventy percent chance of overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation, but now, being severely injured, his chance was less than two out of ten.

Ultimately, Transformed Dragon Elder barely overcame the tribulation but died within it, scattering into dust.

Jinfeng Hermit’s face was as calm as water. The Eastern Heaven had always been a war-torn land, he had grown accustomed to killing since childhood, and should have been indifferent to the fall of his comrades.

Even though he did not have a deep relationship with those Masters who died at the Boundary River, Jinfeng Hermit still felt a sense of grief over their deaths.

"Sir, the brothers responsible for scouting the waters discovered irregular ripples from the southwest direction of Lingyun Pass, suspected to be large-scale emergence of Different Race." Suddenly, a Scout came to deliver the message.

Jinfeng Hermit’s expression changed, asking, "Can you estimate the specific number of enemies?"

"No fewer than millions..."

"What! So many Different Race emerging, this is impossible! Such a number of Different Race cannot possibly be without the command of Different Race Immortal Emperors, it seems they are aiming to level Lingyun Pass in one fell swoop. Someone, hurry and light incense and pray for General Ning to return to guard the pass!"

Jinfeng Hermit did not consider his minor cultivation level capable of dealing with Different Race Immortal Emperors.

Though Ning Fan had said in case of important matters, he could be summoned back, Jinfeng Hermit was unsure how long it would take for Ning Fan to return.

He was internally gloomy, ordering several hundred more Scouts to head towards Lingyun Pass to investigate.

But before those Scouts could set off, countless bubbles suddenly appeared from the southwest direction, and the waves became turbulent.

Before long, gigantic beasts of Different Race emerged from the water, floating to the surface. Everywhere the eye could see, there was nothing but Different Race, their army stretching for hundreds of miles!

The entire Lingyun Pass descended into chaos, the number of enemy troops was no less than a million, and even more shocking was the well-organized military formation, with ten Immortal Emperors stationed at the central army!

"It’s over! We’re done for! The opposing side has ten Immortal Emperors, and we cannot hold them!"

"Even if we can’t hold, we must! As long as we hold until General Ning returns, we still have a sliver of hope!"

"Fight it with all we’ve got! All troops to the walls, channel Mana into the Formation, strengthen the Formation’s defense!"

"Full defense!"

"Full defense!"

The Masters guarding Lingyun Pass numbered only a thousand, appearing exceedingly insignificant before the Different Race army, yet at this moment, their morale had not entirely collapsed.

Merely because, within this pass, there was once someone who instilled them with endless confidence, telling them that Different Race Immortal Emperors were nothing to fear. Though that person had not returned, as long as they could wait until he came back, there would be nothing to fear from the Different Race!

"Attack!"

With the command from Longx Anguo, the Different Race army surged towards Lingyun Pass like a tidal wave.

The Formation at Lingyun Pass was exceptionally formidable, capable of repelling Immortal Emperors, exterminating ordinary Different Race was like cutting through vegetables.

Hundreds and thousands of lower-level Different Race were killed by the Formation, their bodies sinking into the water, and their fresh blood stained the river surface, yet more and more Different Race charged forward undaunted by the fear of death.

"These Different Race Immortal Emperors are so cunning, they don’t want to confront the power of the Formation, they want to exhaust the Formation’s power with the lives of lower-level Different Race!" Jinfeng Hermit gritted his teeth and said.

He could see the opponent’s strategy but could not stop it. When the Different Race had filled in with a hundred thousand lives, the Formation at Lingyun Pass began to weaken.

When the Different Race had suffered forty thousand deaths, the Formation at Lingyun Pass began showing cracks.

More and more Eastern Celestial Cultivators’ Mana was exhausted, unable to sustain the Formation. The cracks in the Formation grew more and more, and the complete break was only a matter of time.

"Sir, what do we do! The Formation can hold for a hundred breaths at most, General Ning may not make it back..." An Eastern Celestial Cultivator showed despair.

Jinfeng Hermit gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Since I came to participate in the alliance, I was already resigned to dying here in battle. This pass cannot be held, so you should all flee for your lives, I will buy you time to escape!"

The Eastern Celestial Cultivators were silent upon hearing this, but before long, each of them ignited with a fighting spirit.

"If the Master does not leave, we will not leave!"

Jinfeng Hermit was silent, then laughed loudly, "Good! We will die here together in battle, not betraying our comrades!"

"Not betraying our comrades!"

"Fight to the death without retreat!"

"Fight to the death without retreat!"

This group of Eastern Celestial Cultivators, though weak, transmitted a fighting spirit that was astonishing. If the Formation were broken, they would then go all out with a thousand troops to assault the enemy army!

Hidden within the Different Race army, Ning Fan watched, feeling deeply moved. The Era of Decline’s Four Heavens Cultivators indeed had many shortcomings: selfishness, greed, and avarice... but not all was lost.

At least, they retained the blood of their ancestors, which was the glory of Purple Astral Immortal Cultivator who did not yield in death.

Life and death all for Purple Dou Immortal Sovereign!

The formation array would break in seventy to eighty breaths; Ning Fan naturally would not stand by and watch Lingyun Pass turn into a river of blood.

He mingled within the Mount Tai Fish’s battle array, his spirit sense transforming into rain and mist, locking onto the Different Race’s central army.

Within, the ten Immortal Emperors, including Dragon-Horse Immortal Emperor, were stationed; there, a giant sky-pillar stood towering several hundred feet tall, borne by a Quasi-Emperor Cultivation Level giant tortoise.

That sky-pillar seemed to be an ancient item, very old and covered with rust. Beneath the rust’s obscuring, no hint of miraculous light could be seen.

And it seemed that the iron pillar was exceedingly heavy. For the one responsible for carrying the pillar was the Mountain-Relocating Tortoise, famous for strength among the Eleven Waterways Shui Clan. One Immortal Venerable Mountain-Relocating Tortoise could carry several Cultivation Stars; a Quasi-Emperor Cultivation Level Mountain-Relocating Tortoise could at least carry several Reverse Sea Swords and quickly move.

Yet at this moment, this Quasi-Emperor Mountain-Relocating Tortoise appeared strained, clearly indicating the iron pillar on his back was beyond his control in weight.

If an ordinary Immortal Emperor tried to perceive it, most wouldn’t discern the specific grade of the iron pillar. But Ning Fan, with his extraordinary vision and perception, could naturally sense that this iron pillar contained immense power, not just mere heaviness.

Innate inferior grade, no, it should be Innate mid-grade...

Despite the layers of rust, Ning Fan’s spirit sense couldn’t be completely accurate, however, he was eighty to ninety percent confident that this was an Innate mid-grade treasure.

But he wasn’t sufficiently confident that this was the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle.

Divine Needle, Divine Needle, from the name, it should be a small object, how could it be such a giant iron pillar?

It’s clearly an iron pillar, using the name ’needle’ seems rather unreasonable...

Yet within this iron pillar, there indeed exists a massive power to seal water, almost capable of suppressing the entire power of the Flooded Bottle, incredibly formidable...

Ning Fan’s eyes flickered, seemingly hesitant, seeing that the formation array was about to be broken, he knew he didn’t have much time to hesitate.

He quickly turned around, pretending to be injured by the Lingyun Pass formation, showing a look of fear, and quietly swam towards the direction of the central army where the Mountain-Relocating Tortoise was located.

Some high-ranking members of different races guarding the central army naturally noticed Ning Fan approaching and frowned.

In their view, Ning Fan was being a deserter, merely injured by the formation of Lingyun Pass, yet he fled towards the central army, deserving to be killed!

"That Mount Tai Fish, return to the battlefield immediately, or you will be killed without mercy!" Among the central army guards, a powerful Immortal King of the Thunder Shark Clan flashed with killing intent and issued a warning to Ning Fan.

However, Ning Fan seemed to be terrified by the formation of Lingyun Pass, lost his sanity, completely ignored the warning from the Thunder Shark Clan Immortal King, and continued to swim towards the central army.

Seeing this, the Thunder Shark Clan Immortal King sneered, opened his mouth wide, and spat out a purple divine thunder, which split Ning Fan into countless charred pieces of flesh.

The pieces of flesh flew chaotically towards the direction of the central army, yet no one paid attention to the remains, not even noticing that one piece seemed intentionally or unintentionally flying towards the Mountain-Relocating Tortoise.

Seeing a large piece of Mount Tai Fish meat flying over, the Mountain-Relocating Tortoise responsible for carrying the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle drooled greedily and swallowed the fish meat whole.

The Mountain-Relocating Tortoise not only loved eating human flesh but also fish meat, particularly preferring the tender and slippery flesh of Mount Tai Fish.

This Mountain-Relocating Tortoise naturally didn’t know that just casually eating a piece of fish meat would lead to disaster.

Previously, occasionally there were fish tribe remains flying over, which he would devour without exception, without any incident. But this time, something went wrong.

Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen!

It was not an ordinary pain, but something was wantonly destroying his internal organs!

One must know, as a Mountain-Relocating Tortoise, his internal organs had long been nurtured as hard as magical treasures, yet at this moment, they were being destroyed by a small piece of fish meat, one organ after another!

He seemed to realize something, showed a fearful expression on his face, and wanted to vomit out the charred fish meat he had swallowed earlier.

But, it was too late!

As a sword radiance soared into the sky, this greedy Mountain-Relocating Tortoise was split in half from the inside out by one sword from Ning Fan, dying with eyes open.

The charred piece of fish meat then flew out from the Mountain-Relocating Tortoise’s body, under the astonished gazes of countless different race experts, transformed into Ning Fan!

Clad in white, with unparalleled charisma, yet his expression seemed as cold as Sha Jiuyou’s chilling ice!

"This needle is mine!"

Ning Fan intended to seize the needle, but suddenly his gaze changed slightly, realizing that he couldn’t fit this needle into the Xuan Yin Treasure!

Attempting to use physical strength to take the needle, he found that with his current strength, he couldn’t move the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle!

After painstakingly disguising and sneaking close to the needle, originally intending to seize it in one move, he discovered he couldn’t take it!

The moment of opportunity was fleeting!

Countless angry shouts from different races sounded by his side!

"It’s the White-Clad Yama! Be careful, he wants to seize the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle!"

"Capture him! Kill him!"

"We cannot let him steal this item!"

Even the Immortal Emperors were shocked, not expecting Ning Fan to disguise and come close to seize the needle. This was the only thing in their hands that could be used to counter Ning Fan’s Flooded Bottle, if stolen, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Only Longx Anguo faced Ning Fan’s attempt to seize the needle without any panic.

He had never underestimated Ning Fan!

He always deeply believed that with Ning Fan’s ability, he could know through some channels that this time coming with a great attack, he prepared the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle, this counter treasure.

He had simulated this battle countless times in his mind, each time considering the worst battle scenario, imagining Ning Fan’s potential methods to counter the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle.

He considered Ning Fan might possess an item that could also counter the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle. If so, he could only resign himself to fate.

He considered Ning Fan might secretly come to steal the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle, if so, he could set a trap to lure Ning Fan into stealing the needle.

He just didn’t anticipate Ning Fan would disguise as a Mount Tai Fish, using this method to secretly approach the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle, thereby making the stealth-breaking formation he set around lose effect.

But it didn’t matter, no matter how Ning Fan approached the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle, he always had a contingency plan!

Firstly, the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle cannot be accommodated into the Yin Yang Locket space!

Secondly, the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle is extremely heavy, in fact, even the Quasi-Emperor Mountain-Relocating Tortoise couldn’t move such a weight, even he, a Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor, couldn’t move the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle alone. Recall, when he went to borrow the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle, he had asked for help from another Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor under the Grand Divine Minister, combining their strength, they barely managed to bring the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle back!

That Quasi-Emperor Mountain-Relocating Tortoise had actually taken expensive pills that depleted his foundation and stimulated potential beforehand, allowing him to explode with tenfold strength for a short time, barely moving the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle.

But Ning Fan definitely couldn’t move it!

This fellow, even with deceitful schemes already close to this treasure, cannot take away this item!

Boom!

Deprived of the transport by the Mountain-Relocating Tortoise, the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle crashed into the water, but after Longx Anguo used a secret technique, this needle only sank into half of the Boundary River’s surface, didn’t completely submerge, but strangely floated on the water.

Longx Anguo didn’t give Ning Fan any time to hesitate.

He activated a divine skill once more, the space around Ning Fan suddenly cracked open, and from the space fissures, countless cold Immortal-Binding Ropes shot out to bind Ning Fan tightly.

Ning Fan was bound by the Immortal-Binding Ropes, seemingly very shocked, looking at Longx Anguo, filled with disbelief, trying to activate mana, but all mana was sealed by the Immortal-Binding Ropes, like a waste person.

Longx Anguo, armed with a minor ruse, captured Ning Fan, finally dispelling the shadow in his heart, and said with satisfaction,

"Hehe, what a so-called White-Clad Yama, just like this! I merely used a slight trick to capture you. You thought I would use the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle to counter your water to flood the realm, but unexpectedly, I used the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle as bait to set a trap for you! You were careless! You little bastard!"

"Indeed, I was really too careless," Ning Fan showed a look of despair.

As Ning Fan despaired, all the Eastern Celestial Cultivators in Lingyun Pass also fell into despair.

Originally, they were quite joyful discovering that Ning Fan suddenly appeared and even directly killed a Quasi-Emperor Mountain-Relocating Tortoise.

But as soon as Ning Fan showed up, he was captured by the enemy’s Immortal Emperor, which dealt them a heavy blow, as if the last shred of hope deep within their hearts had also been extinguished.

How could this be, how could this be...

How could the mighty Lord Ning Fan be captured by the enemies with just one move...

No, they were mistaken.

They had placed too high expectations on Lord Ning Fan, and they shouldn’t have burdened him with such heavy load and pressure.

No matter how high Lord Ning Fan’s achievements were, he was, after all, just an Eternal Immortal Venerable. Once the enemy saw through all of Lord Ning Fan’s means and countered him, he could only rely on his own cultivation to compete, with no advantage.

As an Eternal Immortal Venerable, Lord Ning Fan had already done enough; he has done well. It is instead their own feebleness and inability that repeatedly dragged down Lord Ning Fan...

If among them, there was someone who could battle the enemy’s Immortal Emperor like Lord Ning Fan, even if he were captured, they could rescue him and plot anew.

But they could not rescue Ning Fan.

They could only watch helplessly as Ning Fan fell into enemy hands.

Jinfeng Hermit suddenly had a resolute and desperate look in his eyes!

Yes, he might not have the ability to rescue Ning Fan, but that was not a reason for not attempting to save him!

Whether it could be done is one thing; whether to do it or not is another!

"I, the venerable self, must rush into the enemy forces to save General Ning. Those not afraid of death, come with me!"

"I’ll go!"

"I’ll go too!"

"Count me in!"

Just as Jinfeng Hermit ordered the removal of the formation array at Lingyun Pass to charge out, a sudden change occurred!

The "Ning Fan" bound by the Immortal-Binding Rope suddenly turned into a beam of phantom light and burst.

At the same time, the next moment, Longx Anguo—who was laughing heartily just moments ago—was pierced through by a sword embedded with countless Sky-hook Jades!

Then, a thousand beams of dazzling divine light radiated from the Sky-hook Jades, exploding with a boom inside the steel dragon torso of Longx Anguo!

Longx Anguo didn’t even have time to react; his physical defense was shattered by Ning Fan with one sword!

The Reverse Sea Sword embedded with the Sky-hook Jade, each slash contained infinite explosive force, the power of the Sky-hook Jade. This power might not be enough to harm the steel-like exterior of an Immortal Emperor, but if erupted from within, even a Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor would find it difficult to withstand!

"Sk-Sky-hook Jade! How could it be!"

Amidst the blood mist, Longx Anguo’s True Spirit panicked and barely dodged the subsequent sword from Ning Fan.

His True Spirit having a mysterious Immortal Talisman pasted on the chest to defend against Body Locking, the little True Spirit’s face was filled with astonishment, anger, and resentment.

He didn’t understand, he didn’t understand!

Clearly, he had plotted successfully, trapping Ning Fan, yet why was he outsmarted by Ning Fan, even having his physical defense destroyed!

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

With his physical defense destroyed, the strength he could exert at this moment was only barely comparable to an ordinary Eight Tribulations Immortal Emperor. Moreover, due to his True Spirit injuries, he couldn’t use too much Mana, or else he would inevitably damage his foundation!

Although the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle wasn’t seized, he couldn’t exert the Nine Tribulations strength to suppress Ning Fan temporarily, making gain and loss undecided!

"I clearly set up an invisibility formation around, how did you stealthily approach me! You couldn’t have gone invisible!"

Ning Fan sneered; he wasn’t an idiot to chat with the enemy on the battlefield, explaining how he successfully ambushed.

What was captured was his fake body transformed by Illusory Art.

His true self, however, was hiding at a distance. Longx Anguo and others, believing they had captured him, relaxed their Heart Spirit at their delight, and in that moment, Ning Fan seized the opportunity to cast Illusory Art on everyone, openly walking behind Longx Anguo to deliver a vicious sword strike.

He hadn’t gone invisible, thus the surrounding formation that countered invisibility, naturally didn’t raise any alarm.

If Longx Anguo hadn’t believed he seized Ning Fan and not relaxed his Heart Spirit, with Ning Fan’s current cultivation, it wouldn’t have been enough to directly implant Illusory Art on such an existence.

And even if he implanted the Illusory Art, it couldn’t deceive for too long, but an instant was still feasible. With this instant, it was enough to slash Longx Anguo with a sword.

Seeing Ning Fan wasn’t captured, but instead severely injured the highest cultivation enemy’s Immortal Emperor with one sword, Lingyun Pass was filled with thunderous cheers. The General Ning they adored, didn’t disappoint them; captivity was an illusion, one strike to hurt the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor, that was the reality!

"General Ning is mighty!"

"Lord Ning Fan is mighty!"

"Prince Slaughter Emperor is invincible under heaven!"

"Rain Immortal Monarch is invincible under heaven!"

Unlike the cheers and thunderous applause at Lingyun Pass, the army of the different race fell into a strange silence because Ning Fan severely injured Longx Anguo with one sword.

Over tens of millions of low-level different races were each intimidated by the overwhelming Evil Qi emanating from Ning Fan, not daring to act recklessly. Moreover, many giant beasts couldn’t withstand Ning Fan’s ferocious might and trembled involuntarily.

Longx Anguo’s little True Spirit face was filled with ferocity, seeing Ning Fan disdaining to even acknowledge him, his expression almost twisted.

He wished he could eat Ning Fan’s flesh alive, gnaw the bones of Ning Fan! Knowing that all his Divine Skills were mostly on his physical defense, re-cultivating the physical defense afterwards will somewhat weaken his cultivation and Divine Skills. Even if Ning Fan was killed today, the resentment couldn’t be eased; this hatred weighed heavier even than his brothers being captured by Ning Fan!

"Kill! Do not bother with the ants at Lingyun Pass! Killing this kid, I will be content! Without killing this kid, peace shall not be found!"

"Yes!"

With a single command from Long Anguo, countless different race members in the massive army changed their formation drastically, forming an array with numerous Divine Skills aimed at Ning Fan, while the Dragon-Horse Crown Prince and nine other Immortal Emperors exploited gaps in the barrage to ambush Ning Fan.

Long Anguo did not participate in the attack; at this moment, he had lost his physical form, leaving only his True Spirit, thus it was unwise to overly exert his magic power, otherwise he wouldn’t mind personally tearing Ning Fan to pieces.

[Close your eyes!] This was Ning Fan’s transmission to every cultivator at Lingyun Pass!

Relying on his speed, Ning Fan flashed several hundred miles away, darting outside the army formation of the different race, rendering countless attacks futile.

If it were attacks of Immortal Emperor level, using Immortal Emperor Realm magic power to lock onto him, he would find it difficult to dodge, but if they were merely low-level different race members, then their numbers—what use were they?

Perhaps while standing still, he might be killed in one strike by the combined attack of countless different races.

But why stay still? Why allow the opponent to focus attacks on him? Why not dodge?

While dodging, Ning Fan raised his hand to summon the Primordial Thunder Cauldron.

As soon as the cauldron appeared, all the Immortal Emperors including Long Anguo were shocked, immediately closing their eyes without a second thought.

Many different race powerhouses had heard about the Primordial Thunder Cauldron in advance and were prepared, thus also hurriedly shut their eyes.

However, there were still millions of different races that could not close their eyes in time.

As the unimaginable blinding thunder light flashed, millions of colossal beasts from the different races had their eyes scorched blind and pierced through what little spirit sense they possessed.

Achieving a successful strike, Ning Fan nevertheless did not intend to deactivate the Primordial Thunder Cauldron.

The Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle could not be stolen. As long as this needle was still here, his Flooded Bottle would be suppressed, unable to unleash waves of attacks.

Given such circumstances, despite having destroyed the physical form of the strongest Immortal Emperor with a sneak attack, he was still at a significant disadvantage.

After all, there were ten entire opponents who had prepared targeted defenses against him!

He could not guarantee how many of his Divine Skills were contained or countered by the enemy.

Thus, he had to find his advantage, locate his chance for victory!

The Primordial Thunder Cauldron was the key to his victory!

As long as the primordial thunder light was activated, everyone would be unable to open their eyes or use spirit sense, they would all be blindfolded; for the different races, recklessly releasing Divine Skills would only harm their own, making it hard to hit Ning Fan.

But Ning Fan was different!

Although outnumbered, he now had the advantage!

With millions in the army, the opponents had almost no chance to hit him with single-target strikes.

If they unleashed group attacks, it would inadvertently affect their own soldiers, causing significant self-damage.

Ning Fan had no such concern; among this army of countless different races, there were no Eastern Heaven cultivators. Wherever he released Divine Skills, the casualties were all enemies!

Cross Halo, activate!

Eternal True Body, activate!

Sun Moon Stars Stele, smash away randomly!

Reverse Sea Sword, slash away randomly!

Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, sweep away randomly!

As Ning Fan unleashed his Divine Skills, sounds of screams echoed continuously around him. Amid the blinding thunder light, Ning Fan dared not open his eyes and wasn’t aware of whom or how many he had killed.

Regardless, since they were all enemies, it didn’t matter! He could slaughter joyfully with his eyes closed!

Long Anguo and the others were dumbstruck!

They tried to use hearing to capture Ning Fan’s location and blindly released single-target attacks towards the dense areas of screams.

But these attacks often missed Ning Fan, causing only self-harm; even when by chance they hit Ning Fan, his defense with the reversing Heaven-defying Eternal True Body stopped any damage.

All the different race Immortal Emperors felt frustrated internally; while they didn’t care about their subordinates’ lives, being forced by the enemy to kill their own subordinates was as unpleasant as swallowing flies.

"Don’t worry! This blinding thunder light surely cannot last! This is mid-grade magical powers’ wide-range lightning light from an Innate treasure, how could this child possibly maintain it for long with his limited magic power! Once his thunder light breaks, we’ll focus and kill him!" Long Anguo confidently stated.

Unfortunately, with the Cross Halo active, Ning Fan had limitless mana; unless his Heart Spirit depleted, this almost cheating blinding thunder light could remain activated perpetually!

As for Heart Spirit depletion, with plenty of God-Returning Rice Grain, Ning Fan had no concern.

He intended to cheat!

He intended to be contemptible and shameless!

Why could the enemy deploy ten Immortal Emperors against him, yet he couldn’t fight back? He aimed to inflict pain on the enemy’s massive army, to let different race blood flow like rivers! He intended that those who conspired against him would pay the price!

An incense stick of time flowed.

Two incense sticks of time flowed.

The thunder light had not dissipated the slightest!

Long Anguo was reluctant to admit yet was compelled to accept that Ning Fan’s magic power was exceptionally vast, abnormal so much so that even the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor couldn’t maintain Innate mid-grade magical power for so long!

Unfortunately, their research on the Cross Halo was limited; they only knew of Body Locking and magic concentration, oblivious that the Cross Halo could grant Ning Fan limitless mana.

With no end to the thunder light in sight and unclear of how long before it disappears, Long Anguo, albeit grudgingly, had to command the low-level different race army to temporarily retreat underwater, withdrawing from the battle.

With the Primordial Thunder Cauldron present, those low-level different races were already helpless; relying on numbers for attrition warfare, or using numbers for magic concentration against Ning Fan was no longer feasible!

Soon after, the different race army withdrew to underwater.

Within the thunder light, only Long Anguo and the different race emperors remained, along with Ning Fan!

Consequently, even though the Immortal Emperors still couldn’t open their eyes, they were able to pinpoint Ning Fan’s position through sound recognition!

"Kid, your thunder light is useless now, prepare to die!" The Dragon-Horse Second Prince shouted gleefully, joining other emperors to launch a combined attack on Ning Fan...
