Grasping Evil-Chapter 480 - Restoring the Ancestors and Devil Conferral (5)
Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Restoring the Ancestors and Devil Conferral (5)
Translator: GE_Team
When the 8 giants saw Ning Fan had an ancestral talisman, their eyes were filled with respect and they quickly made way for him.
As guards tasked with protecting the Devil Conferral Summit, they were usually haughty and arrogant. However, whenever they met a possessor of an ancestral talisman, none of them would have the nerves to disrespect them.
“Please enter the palace to accept your second test!”
“Mm.”
Ning Fan nodded his head indifferently. He then pushed the gate of the Devil Talisman Palace open and went inside alone without any hesitation.
The inner part of the palace was extremely vast and boundless. It was a space of total darkness with a faint bloody smell in the air.
Just as Ning Fan set foot inside the large palace, the gate suddenly closed by itself and countless crimson red flames lit up.
It was a gigantic palace built from gray copper. Standing on the two sides of the palace were countless red copper palace lanterns which were burning lamp oil that resembled blood fat. Doubtlessly, the smell of blood came from the oil.
There were 108 tall platforms in the palace, each had a throne on it.
A statue of a five thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall giant sat in each of those thrones. The giants were clad in black armors with their chests embedded with remnant devil talismans.
All of the devil talismans looked extremely worn out but they still contained a rather massive amount of essence qi.
After making a rough estimation, Ning Fan figured out that he could gain at least ten thousand units of essence qi by consuming a single remnant devil talisman.
Besides, he also noticed that as long as he revealed just a bit of intent to seize the talismans, those lifeless giant statues which were sitting upright on their thrones would come to life and attack him!
Every one of those giants was at least at the Early Reckless Devil Realm!
Ning Fan needed to devour at least 8 remnant talismans in order to pass the second test. In other words, he would need to kill at least 8 giants which also meant that he could gain at least eighty thousand units of essence qi once he’s done with the second test.
If I devour all 108 remnant talismans here, I can obtain one million and eighty thousand units of essence qi in total. That amount of essence qi is comparable to the total sum of essence qi someone at the Early Reckless Devil Realm has!
“This stage is a test but a great opportunity as well. The Devil Conferral Summit certainly is the holy ground for testing and rewarding the newly-promoted Reckless Devil Realm devils. In order to obtain the most precious reward from the devil mountain, I will show my greatest strength!”
Ning Fan took a step forward and his body gave off hundreds of millions of dark golden rays.
Even though the power of his Golden Body Refining Realm had yet to be completely converted into the power of the Reckless Devil Realm, his physical body which was at the Second Level of the Golden Body Refining Realm still remained. Why would he be afraid of a group of Early Reckless Devil Realm devils?!
Fearlessly, he walked straight towards one of the thrones, attempting to take away the remnant talisman.
When the giant statue sensed Ning Fan’s approaching it, countless pieces of rocks fell off of its body. It rose to its feet and released a terrifying wave of aura force.
By just taking a single step, the entire copper palace began to tremble.
It waved its humongous devil palm. The massive essence qi within its body turned into layers of devil clouds which covered the air above.
Then, he slammed his palm directly at Ning Fan’s head. The ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) palm imprint plummeted at high speed and the space in the air cracked. Its destructive power was far greater than a full-powered attack of an ordinary Void Glimpse Stage cultivator!
“Ancient Devil Dao, Execution Devil Palm – First Imprint!”
It was a type of Devil Martial Art. Even though it was just a single layer of palm imprint, its destructive power was much stronger than a Low Grade Mortal Void Body Technique as it was displayed by a giant!
Ning Fan activated his right devil eye and saw the flow of essence qi inside the giant’s body.
He commanded his essence qi to imitate how the giant used that technique. Then, he raised one of his palms into the air. After secretly learning the giant’s body technique, he uttered in a cold voice.
“Ancient Devil Dao, Execution Devil Palm – First Imprint!”
*Bang*
The two devil palm imprints collided against each other. The giant’s palm imprint disintegrated while Ning Fan’s remained unbroken which continued to fly towards the giant with the same momentum as before. Moments later, it crashed into the giant, crushing its devil body into a pile of rubble.
The giant was just an Early Reckless Devil Realm being after all whereas Ning Fan was a body cultivator at the Second Level of the Golden Body Refining Realm. An Early Reckless Devil Realm giant was definitely not a match for him!
*Chi*
After Ning Fan eliminated the first giant, the remnant talisman that was embedded inside its body flew to him.
He lifted his palm and activated the ancestral talisman on its center to devour the remnant talisman. In an instant, the essence qi in his body increased by ten thousand units.
“Next, it’ll be the second giant…”
Ning Fan took a step and dashed towards the second throne. This time, however, two giants rose from the second and third throne and they both attacked him at the same time.
“Ancient Devil Dao, Execution Devil Palm – Second Imprint!”
“Ancient Devil Dao, Execution Devil Palm – Third Imprint!”
The giants delivered two enormous palm imprints which descended rapidly towards Ning Fan.
The devil star in his right eye continuously blinked and then he pushed out both of his palms together. He delivered two similar palm attacks at the giants after stealing their techniques.
“Ancient Devil Dao, Execution Devil Palm – Second Imprint and Third Imprint!”
*Bang* *Bang*
How could Ning Fan who was a dignified body cultivator with the Second Level of the Golden Body Refining Realm be afraid of these two Early Reckless Devil Realm beings?
His palm imprints literally destroyed the attacks of the two giants without any of their power diminishing and smashed the two giants to pieces.
Two remnant talismans flew out from their bodies which Ning Fan devoured one after the other. Twenty thousand units of essence qi were added inside his body.
Ning Fan did not continue challenging the other giants. Instead, he stared at the fourth throne in silence.
During his first attempt, only the giant on the first throne stood up against him. In his second attempt, however, two rose up and fought him.
If Ning Fan was not mistaken, even more giants would fight him during his third attempt. Moreover, the number of giants he needed to face would continue to increase as he proceeds further.
Aside from the quantity of giants, Ning Fan also surmised that every Reckless Devil Realm stone statue in this place were skilled in different palm imprints.
If there were just one or two Early Reckless Devil Realm beings, Ning Fan would not see it as a problem. However, if a group of giants were coming at him all at once, he must not underestimate them.
“Lightning Armor, appear!”
Ning Fan’s defense was greatly enhanced with the Primordial Lightning Armor protecting his body. He performed a lightning art to repair the damage that the lightning armor had taken before. Clad in lightning armor which was now in good condition, he looked like Konjin. His current defense was good enough for him to handle all kinds of changes that might arise.
He then took a step towards the fourth throne. Just like what he had expected, there were four giants this time, standing up to fight him at the same time!
“Ancient Devil Dao, Execution Devil Palm – Fourth Imprint!”
“… Fifth Imprint!”
“… Sixth Imprint!”
“… Seventh Imprint!”
Four palm imprints from four giants came at Ning Fan all at once. Each of the palm imprints was powerful enough to severely injure a Void Glimpse Stage cultivator. Faced with four palm imprints at the same time, even a Void Inquiry Stage expert would not get out of this unscathed!
Ning Fan’s eyes flickered. Indeed, his guess was right.
More and more giants would come at him at a time and the palm imprints that each and every one of these giants would use were different.
Ning Fan remained at his original spot without even retreating half a step. The devil star in his right eye flashed violently and copied the four palm imprint techniques.
He pushed out both of his palms and sent out the fourth and fifth palm imprint towards two of the four giants, eliminating them instantly. Then, he took the attacks from the other two giants head-on using the powerful defense of his lightning armor.
*Bang*
Standing amidst smoke and dust, Ning Fan’s golden armor was completely unscathed. The destructive power of the two palm imprints could not leave a scratch on his lightning armor!
Immediately after that, he raised his palms and delivered the sixth and seventh palm imprint to get rid of the two remaining giants.
With a wave of his hand, he activated the power of his ancestral talisman and absorbed the remnant talismans from the four giants. Within seconds, his essence qi increased by forty thousand units.
His gaze drifted to the eighth throne. He could now already grasp the pattern of the increasing number of giants that would be fighting him in his following attempts.
He faced 1 giant in his first attempt, 2 giants in his second attempt and 4 giants in his third attempt. Thus, it would be 8 eights in his fourth attempt.
“Even if there are 8 Early Reckless Devil Realm giants, I can still put up a fight!”
Ning Fan took a step and dashed towards the eighth throne in a trace of smoke. He actually used the Void Teleportation Technique which he had newly learned.
Eight stone statues trembled as rocks fell from them.
They rose in unison and began delivering palm imprint attacks at Ning Fan.
“Ancient Devil Dao, Execution Devil Palm – Eighth Imprint!”
“… Ninth Imprint!”
“… Tenth Imprint!”
…
“… Fifteenth Imprint!”
Even if Ning Fan had the Mo Luo Eye, he was incapable of stealing so many palm imprint techniques at a time.
Even if he possessed the lightning armor, he wanted to avoid taking these eight palm imprint attacks head-on. The total destructive power of these palm imprints was nearly on par with that of Flying Raindragon King1‘s attack. Even if they were not capable of breaking the lightning armor, they would create some cracks on it.
“Eight Black Burning Wings, appear!”
Eight massive black fiery wings grew on Ning Fan’s back out of the blue. The speed of the eight fire wings was already comparable to that of a Void Inquiry Stage expert. But after Ning Fan mastered the Void Teleportation Technique and merged that technique with his black wings’ ability, their speed already exceeded the Void Inquiry Stage and it had now reached the Void Pierce Stage!
*Chi*
A faint firelight flashed and Ning Fan was nowhere to be seen. He evaded seven of the palm imprints and only withstood the impact of a single palm attack. The defense of his lightning armor easily neutralized the force behind it.
Ning Fan had learned another four types of palm imprints from the first wave of attacks. Then, his eyes shone with killing intent. With an incredible speed, he dashed towards the eighth giant and pressed one of his palms against the giant’s large skull.
When he applied some force on his palm, the strong giant which had Early Reckless Devil Realm cultivation was instantly turned to pieces. Apart from that, the hollow space was shattered by the leftover force of his palm!
The remaining seven giants continued to deliver attacks at Ning Fan with blank expressions.
This time, Ning Fan activated his devil eye and learned every last one of the remaining four palm imprints.
He had already learned that even though the Execution Devil Palm was separated into countless palm imprints, each of these palm imprints could be overlaid and merged together.
The destructive power of just a single palm imprint alone was equivalent to that of a Low Grade Mortal Void Body Technique.
If 15 palm imprints were to be combined together, their destructive power would be comparable to that of a Mid Grade Mortal Void Body Technique, which would be much stronger than the Moon-Tearing Dragon Technique of Flying Raindragon King1.
Traces of insights began to surface within his heart. He suddenly reached out his palm and the light of 15 layers of palm imprints emerged on its center. The essence qi of his entire body rapidly flowed to the center of his palm.
“Ancient Devil Dao, Execution Devil Palm!”
The destructive power of the current palm attack Ning Fan used was far beyond the palm attacks the ordinary giants delivered. It was the combination of 15 layers of palm imprints!
This palm attack was equivalent to a Mid Grade Mortal Void Body Technique. When Ning Fan displays it, even common Void Inquiry Stage old monsters would be unable to withstand it!
This palm attack triggered an abnormal phenomenon in heaven and earth for the first time. Just as Ning Fan delivered that attack, innumerable shadows of the devils from ancient times emerged behind him. All of them kowtowed to him in unison as countless devil roars shook the world!
*Bang*
The attacks from the seven giants were destroyed by Ning Fan’s strike. The hollow space literally shattered to countless pieces.
After breaking apart the seven incoming attacks, the leftover might of his palm attack continued to rush towards the seven gigantic beings. Three of them were instantly killed by his palm attack while the other four were inflicted with severe damage.
Ning Fan showed no mercy towards them. He delivered another palm attack again, killing the last four giants. In this confrontation, he nearly used up half of the essence qi in his body.
After absorbing the remnant talismans of the eight giants, Ning Fan examined his body internally and let out a gentle breath.
The Execution Devil Palm really was an extremely domineering Devil Martial Art. Not only did it have great destructive power, it also consumed a great deal of essence qi.
Although it was just the combination of 15 palm imprints, it already had such a great destructive power and demand for essence qi. If Ning Fan masters all of the palm imprints and combines them into one, what would this palm imprint technique’s grade be?? This palm attack alone would probably use up all of his essence qi, wouldn’t it?
Ning Fan did not choose to challenge the sixteenth throne. Instead, he sat in a meditative posture inside the copper palace to consume some devil pills and regulate his essence qi.
One would only need to obtain 8 remnant talismans and to be considered to have passed this second test. Ning Fan had already obtained 15 remnant talismans. If he leaves the Devil Talisman Palace right now, he could immediately pass the test.
However, he was not planning on leaving like this. In fact, he wanted to try to get more opportunities.
Each of the remnant talisman was equivalent to ten thousand units of essence qi. He could also learn a new type of palm imprint from killing every new giant.
He planned on killing every last one of the giants in this palace to obtain all of the remnant talismans and learn the complete set of the Execution Devil Palm.
If he successfully masters this technique, it would be the first Devil Martial Art he had ever fully learned which had a greater power than the Moon-Tearing Dragon.
Three days later, his essence qi recovered to its peak. He stood up and walked towards the sixteenth throne to battle against 16 giants.
After the battle, Ning Fan rested to regulate his breathing. Another three days passed. He then approached the thirty-secondth throne to fight against 32 giants.
Five days later, he walked towards the sixty-fourth throne and faced the last 45 giants in the palace.
No one knew what kind of bloody battle Ning Fan had been through.
Another four days went by. It had already been half a month since the first day Ning Fan had entered the Devil Talisman Palace.
Inside the palace, only 108 empty thrones were left with a ground full of scattered debris and rubble.
Ning Fan’s face was pale. His body had countless wounds. Even his lightning armor broke. Since he fought against so many giants, there was no way he could avoid suffering severe injuries even if he displayed every technique he had.
During his battles, he made himself invisible under the Heaven Deceiving Cloak and healed his wounds using his Black Star Technique. By going invisible and ambushing the giants repeatedly, he gradually killed every last one of them.
Each of the giants only knew one type of palm imprint and they had no idea how to undo one’s invisibility. Hence, every time Ning Fan went invisible, all of the giants would return to their thrones. It gave him the opportunity to recover mid-battle which allowed him to eliminate all of the giants in the end…
Currently, the power of 108 remnant talismans surged in his body which made the total amount of his essence qi exceed five million units!
The minimum amount of magic power that an Early Void Refinement Realm had was one million units which was similar to the standard of the Early Reckless Devil Realm.
The standard of both the Mid Void Refinement Realm and Mid Reckless Devil Realm were also three million units.
The requirements for the late stages of the two cultivation realms were ten million units while it was twenty million units for the peak stage.
That being so, having five million units of essence qi was equivalent to being halfway to the Late Reckless Devil Realm.
By just spending half a month massacring giants in the Devil Talisman Palace, Ning Fan had gained one million units of essence qi which was certainly a great haul. One has to know that even if he brews the blood wine with all his effort, he could gain merely hundreds of thousands of units of magic power!
The Devil Conferral Summit was certainly a holy ground for ancient devils. As long as you achieve excellent results in the tests here, you would be able to gain heaven-defying rewards!
Other than raising his ancient devil cultivation realm, Ning Fan had also learned the complete set of the Execution Devil Palm after killing the 108 giants.
By overlapping all 108 palm imprints, the destructive power of a single combined attack was comparable to a High Grade Mortal Void Devil Martial Art!
Furthermore, since this body technique was a Devil Martial Art, it was naturally much better than body techniques and the difference in power was not miniscule. Common High Grade Mortal Void Body Techniques were definitely not as strong as the Devil Martials Art of the same grade.
“Execution Devil Palm…. This technique is really powerful. It’s strong enough to instantly kill Flying Raindragon King1! However, with the current amount of essence qi I have which is over five million units, I can only use this technique once and my essence qi will all be used up… The essence qi of ancient devils cannot be boosted using the Soul Extraction Secret Technique. If I don’t have enough essence qi to use this technique multiple times, it can only serve as my trump card which I will only use at crucial moments…”
Ning Fan shook his head with a hint of regret. If he had enough essence qi to use this technique as he wishes, he would only need to use seven palms and he would be able to instantly wipe out the seven Void Inquiry Stage devil spirits in the Mist Horn Broken World.
Unfortunately, he could not use this technique without any consideration as he could only use it once. But given his current strength, he could use other techniques such as the Moon-Tearing Technique. Thus, there was nothing scary about the Void Inquiry Stage devil spirits.
“I wonder what prize I will get for passing the second test…”
Ning Fan obtained both the remnant talismans and the Execution Devil Palm Technique through his own effort and strength. They could not be considered as the rewards for passing the second test.
Perhaps there should be other rewards for him before he leaves the Devil Talisman Palace.
Just as he was thinking about it, a black ray appeared within the palace and flew towards him. It was another box made out of ebony wood.
There was another black crystal inside this wooden box. Ning Fan examined it and realized that the inheritance inside the crystal seemed to be some kind of Devil Martial Art.
Ning Fan felt rather surprised. He did not expect that the reward of completing the second test was actually a Devil Martial Art. He could not help but feel slightly disappointed.
Compared to Devil Martial Arts, he wanted to obtain some precious devil pills or devil medicines to increase his essence qi or raise his cultivation level.
By completing the first test, he obtained the Void Teleportation Technique of the ancient devil race. It was quite useful to him.
After completing the second test, however, he had already learned the Execution Devil Palm and was not lacking in Devil Martial Arts in the meantime. If he obtains another type of Devil Martial Arts, it would be rather unnecessary.
“Fine. Let’s see what level of Devil Martial Art this is… With my achievement of killing 108 giants, even if the prize is a Devil Martial Art, it can’t be something worthless…”
Ning Fan touched the crystal with his fingers and it shattered to pieces. An archaic voice then filled his Sea of Consciousness, imparting the stored information to him.
At first, Ning Fan did not have high hopes for this Devil Martial Art.
However, after accepting the inheritance, his eyes were gradually filled with astonishment.
The reward he got by completing the second test was not something insignificant or unnecessary at all. In fact, it was something he desired!
“Devil Martial Art of Ancient Devil, ‘Lifestealer Technique’! When fighting against enemies, the user of this technique could extract the essence blood from the bodies of every single person they kill to replenish their essence qi! The higher the cultivation realm of the individuals they kill, the greater the essence qi the user could gain from killing them! In the ancient devil race, this technique was comparable to the great ability of the Soul Extraction Technique!”
Ning Fan could not help but feel surprised. This technique was just too heaven-defying.
The Soul Extraction Technique allowed its users to extract the soul of heaven and earth to temporarily boost the limit of their magic power.
As for the Lifestealer Technique, it allowed its user to recover their essence qi through massacre. The greater number of people they kill, the greater amount of essence qi they could recover!
Not every single person of the ancient devil race knew how to use this technique, not even in ancient times.
As of today, it was unknown how many people still knew this secret technique.
At the very least, Ning Fan was sure that it was impossible for a devil race which was skilled in this technique to exist among the Nine Worlds of the mortal realm.
The Nine Great Ancient Devil Pools of the upper realm, on the other hand, might still have devil races of great capabilities that knew about this technique. Who knew for sure?
Since Ning Fan had learned such a formidable Devil Martial Art, he no longer needed to worry about running out of essence qi no matter how many enemies he would have to face.
Since the user of this technique could replenish their essence qi by using it to kill their enemies, with enough strength, their enemies would just be seeking their deaths no matter how many they are!
Equipped with this technique, Ning Fan no longer has to worry about having an inadequate amount of essence qi after using the Execution Devil Palm as he could just replenish his essence qi by killing!
The prize of accomplishing the second test completely satisfied Ning Fan!
He calmly walked out of the Devil Talisman Palace. The way the 8 Reckless Devil Realm giants standing outside the palace looked at Ning Fan was like they were staring at a ghost.
They were aware of everything that Ning Fan had done inside the palace. They could not imagine that he had actually killed every last one of the giants in there and obtained 108 remnant talismans all on his own!
Even if these 8 Early Reckless Devil Realm giants attack him at the same time, they definitely would not be his match as well!
What especially amazed them was finding out that the prize which Ning Fan got was actually the Lifestealer Technique. This overwhelmed each of the giants with shock and made them cry out involuntarily.
“The Lifestealer Technique is one of the nine great forbidden techniques that our master strictly restricted anyone from teaching them to outsiders when he was still alive. It’s rarely given to a Reckless Devil Realm devil. Why was it given to this man today?! Could it be that Master admires this young man a lot?!”
“Master?”
Ning Fan’s gaze scanned past the eight giants coldly with his mind full of thoughts. The master which these eight giants referred to was probably the profound senior who created the Devil Conferral Summit.
The Devil Conferral Summit was created in an era way before the existence of the nine great devil ancestors. That senior was probably someone much stronger than Great Emperor Mo Luo.
However, judging from the fact that the giants mentioned “when he was still alive”, that senior with terrifying means that he had probably already perished a long time ago.
Ning Fan could not help but feel a little disappointed. Personages like the nine great devil ancestors were suppressed for eternity while the senior of the devil race who created the Devil Conferral Summit was no longer around in this world.
Most of the ancient devils had also perished. It was unknown for how many years the Devil Conferral Summit was left unvisited.
The First Step of Cultivation was to survive. The Second Step of Cultivation was to seek the truth of Dao. However, after attaining the truth of Dao, what else would it be in the future?
All the efforts in pursuit of achievements would eventually disintegrate like dust. All reputation and glory that one had during their life would cease to exist in the end.
Humans really are a strange type of living creatures. They always seek after imaginary and external things but neglect the important things around them.
Indeed, instead of pursuing longevity or the unreal and mythical like the truth of Dao in the road of cultivation, why not grasp the current moment and protect the peace and bliss that one is blessed with at the present…
Ning Fan’s eyes looked tranquil. In his path of cultivation, he had never asked for longevity or power to rule over the world and only wanted to grasp and cherish the warmth that was flowing away from the center of his palm.
The expression on his face right at this moment was filled with the freedom and ease that came from the bottom of his heart. Not being constrained by the definition of righteousness or evil, god or devil. Not being bound by the purpose of seeking longevity or the truth of Dao. Compared to countless great cultivators who were constantly focused in pursuing their personal goals, he seemed to be calmer and more tranquil which made him closer to the Great Dao of Inaction.
The eight giants were all startled when they noticed the look on Ning Fan’s face. The ease in his eyes shared an uncanny resemblance to the one in their previous master’s.
Unconsciously, their tone became a little more respectful when they spoke to Ning Fan.
“Please continue to ascend the mountain and accept your third test.”
“Mm.”
Ning Fan nodded. At the next moment, he leapt and turned into a strand of smoke, flying towards the peak of the mountain using the Void Teleportation Technique.
This time, no giant stood in his way to the summit.
There were the occasional shadows of gigantic guards along the way. However, as soon as they saw Ning Fan approaching, each of them would show him a face full of respect. They were obviously already aware that Ning Fan possessed the royal grade bloodline and ancestral talisman and that he had made a frightening achievement of killing 108 Reckless Devil Realm giants.
The highest part of the Devil Conferral Summit was a sea of blood covered with thick black mist. It was a place floating above the hollow sky.
Ning Fan stood on the sea of blood. It was the peak of the Devil Conferral Summit and was also the place where the third test would take place.
This time, however, there were no giants around to explain the procedures of the test to him.
At the moment he arrived, countless blood bubbles began to form on the surface of the sea of blood. A carp that was as dark as ink jumped out from it out of the blue and transformed into a handsome man in black robes.
“I will be the one conducting the third test. I will fight you using the same level of strength as you. If you win, you will pass the third test. If you lose, you will need to withstand three moves from me before you can be considered to have passed the test. However, you will only receive half of the reward… Thus, I presume you wouldn’t be willing to lose to me.”
The eyes of the man in black robes were as deep as a bottomless ocean. His expression was cold like ice that had never melted for ten thousand years. At first glance, he saw through Ning Fan’s personality.
Ning Fan clearly felt that this black-robed man had already been dead for countless years and it was only his remnant consciousness that remained in this place. This remnant consciousness, however, was strong enough to make Ning Fan feel out of breath.
That man had purposely sealed off his cultivation realm and restricted it at the Early Reckless Devil Realm. It seemed like he was not joking when he said he would have a fight against Ning Fan.
After all, despite having the power of the Second Level of the Golden Body Refining Realm, Ning Fan had yet to fully convert it to the power of the ancient devil cultivation realm. Hence, he was not genuinely at the Reckless Devil Realm technically speaking.
The man was already cutting Ning Fan some slack by using only the Early Reckless Devil Realm to fight him.
Even so, the qi of this man’s Early Reckless Devil cultivation realm was much greater than King Lan Ling’s second primordial spirit!
King Lan Ling was an outstanding being at the same level as Yun Tianjue. His second primordial spirit which was at the Void Inquiry Stage could kill common Void Pierce Stage experts!
Since the aura force of this black-robed man’s Early Reckless Devil Realm was already on par with King Lan Ling’s second primordial spirit, his innate potential was naturally far from what King Lan Ling could compare!
In his era, he certainly was a monstrous being who rarely had a worthy opponent among cultivators at the same level as him!
“If I may be so bold, who exactly are you, Senior?!”
“I am Mo Zhong, the seventh immortal emperor below the throne of Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou…”
“What?! Immortal Emperor Mo Zhong!?”
Ning Fan’s eyes widened in shock. He had once learned from Zi Dou in an illusory realm and had heard him mentioning some of his subordinates by chance which included an Immortal Emperor called Mo Zhong among them!
In Zi Dou’s era, he was the Immortal Sovereign and he led one billion immortal emperors while Immortal Emperor Mo Zhong was ranked seventh among those one billion powerful beings. His innate potential was without a doubt extraordinary!
Ning Fan could faintly guess that the master of this Devil Conferral Summit was probably Immortal Emperor Mo Zhong!
His expression became even more serious. He did not expect that he would have to fight someone like Immortal Emperor Mo Zhong in his third test!
Many prodigies might claim themselves to be unrivalled among cultivators at the same level as them. This self-proclaimed “unrivalled”, however, was just a general reference and they were not truly unrivalled. At most, they were just outstanding beings who won against a majority of cultivators who were on the same level as them.
Immortal Emperor Mo Zhong, on the other hand, was genuinely peerless among all cultivators at the same level as him. Except for a handful of experts, no one at the same level as him could stand shoulder to shoulder beside him!
Ning Fan was really eager to find out whether he could win against Mo Zhong who now restricted himself to the same cultivation realm as him!
“If you don’t dare to accept the fight, then you may choose to withstand three of my moves and I will still consider that you passed the test if you succeed.” Immortal Emperor Mo Zhong sounded as cold as before.
“Why would I be afraid?!”
Ning Fan took a step forward and his aura force drastically rose. There was no sign of fear in his eyes.
Being able to fight against an ancient great emperor at the same cultivation level was an opportunity that one could never ask for other than being granted by chance.
“Since you wish to fight, I am not going to refuse!”
