Grasping the Evil-Chapter 786: Approaching the Eastern Ocean Bell
In the mysterious starry sky, Senluo’s red hair flew, his gaze contemplative, his foot stamping on the Beast of Destruction as he departed from the Yuan Dan Starfield, heading towards the Dongming Star Domain.
He had traveled through roughly one-fourth of the Eastern Heaven Immortal World before proceeding to Dongming, having thoroughly prepared himself.
He continued his reckless charge, escaping straight through the cosmos.
His terrifying exploits of slaying Sha Jiuyou, wounding Zhen Yuan, and shocking the Mysterious Scholar Dan Master were wildly spreading among Eastern Heaven’s great powers.
One by one, the ordinarily unflappable Eastern Heaven masters were now deeply shocked.
Among the Sixteen Emperors of Eastern Heaven, the Slaughter Emperor hadn’t shown himself for a long time, Sha Jiuyou had fallen, and the Zhen Yuan Emperor was badly injured and currently in seclusion to suppress his wounds.
The Elemental Elixir Emperor was not recognized among the Sixteen Emperors, except for the Shenhao Twin Emperors, the remaining eleven Eastern Heaven Emperors now all bore grave expressions.
Those Immortal Emperors with Eight Tribulations or Nine Tribulations might not fear Senluo too much, but those with Six Tribulations or Seven Tribulations found themselves shocked and wary upon hearing of Senluo’s earth-shattering achievements.
In their apprehension, several Great Emperors secluded themselves, wary of provoking trouble; yet a few moved, leaving their starfields, and rushed towards the Godly Void Pavilion.
Some wished to visit the Dongming Star Domain for gossip, see how things unfolded; while others intended to besiege Senluo to settle past grievances.
At this moment, ordinary cultivators in Eastern Heaven might not yet realize the upheaval caused by Senluo.
But the great powers were each thrown into disarray by Senluo!
Within the Ninth Star, Ning Fan held a jade green dan bottle, his gaze filled with ardor and hesitation, his brow furrowed.
Within the bottle were five Nine Revolutions Elixirs, all being Golden Core level Nine Revolutions Elixirs!
Generally, only Fate Immortal Old Monsters above the level of mumbling needed to consume Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, but due to the rarity of Gold Core level Nine Revolutions Pill Masters among the Four Heaven’s immortal worlds, Nine Revolutions Golden Pills often had value but no market. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
The five Nine Revolutions Golden Pills within the bottle, known as Soul Refining Pills, had miraculous effects in enhancing an Alchemist’s Medicine Soul power.
These pills were demanded by Senluo and subsequently gifted to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan held the bottle, deep in silent thought.
To him, these five Soul Refining Pills were exceedingly advantageous, promising to greatly enhance the Medicine Soul grade, and consequently elevate dan refinement to the next tier...
"Hehe, who would have thought the normally cold-blooded and heartless Senluo Immortal King would actually gift you elixirs... truly inconceivable." The little demoness looked at Ning Fan with a half-smile, her expression laden with meaning.
The Xiao Family had once perished at Senluo’s hands, but that was countless ages ago, having little connection to the little demoness.
Although the little demoness disliked Senluo, she would not block Ning Fan from acquiring fortuitous encounters from Senluo due to that.
"Do you bear a grudge against Senluo? Whenever you mention his name, I see a flicker of hatred in your eyes. Though faint, I can sense some of it." Ning Fan asked.
"Grudge or not, it’s merely a matter from four and a half million years ago, even if there was a grudge, how much does it relate to me. It was because of him that the Xiao Family dwindled; had it not declined, I wouldn’t have chosen this path... In my heart, there remains a sense of resentment." The little demoness sighed, her eyes dimming, finally exposing some sorrow.
Senluo charged recklessly through Eastern Heaven, clashing with three Immortal Emperors, now heading directly towards the Godly Void Pavilion.
To the little demoness, whether Senluo destroys the Godly Void Pavilion or not, she couldn’t care less. What worried her was if Senluo’s battle would implicate the long-fallen Xiao Family once more.
The little demoness was anxious, and how could Ning Fan not be concerned?
He was worried over how to handle things afterward.
By aiding Senluo’s chaos, would Eastern Heaven’s strong powers bear grudges against him, would the Godly Void Pavilion issue a hunt for him?
Through his dealings with Senluo, could he ensure Senluo honored his promises afterward, could he escape safely from Senluo’s grasp?
With these thoughts, Ning Fan couldn’t help but sigh softly.
He agreed to act as the Ancient God Vessel for Senluo, yet now Senluo openly opposed the Godly Void Pavilion, rampant across Eastern Heaven, offending several Immortal Emperors with enemies aplenty.
Thus, under no circumstances could he let people know he had aided Senluo. If mistaken as an accomplice, it would invite pursuit from countless Old Monsters.
He had a prior agreement with Senluo to act as his Ancient God Vessel, and in turn, Senluo would help detoxify the little demoness.
Having witnessed Senluo’s might time and again, Ning Fan’s apprehension towards Senluo grew increasingly profound.
The jade scroll concealed in his sleeve had already been quietly replaced. No longer was it the jade scroll summoning sixteen Eternal Puppets, but exchanged for the jade scroll to summon the Slaughter Emperor.
Before Senluo’s clash with the Shenhao Twin Emperors, Ning Fan had only regarded Senluo as an ordinary Immortal King, believing that with sixteen Eternal Puppets, he could sufficiently suppress Senluo.
But now, Ning Fan deeply realized the might of Senluo, even an Immortal Emperor of the Eighth Calamity of the Eternals might not hold him back, relying on sixteen Eternal Puppets from the Slaughter Emperor could not contend against him.
Should the worst happen and relations with Senluo fractured, only by summoning the Slaughter Emperor would he be able to preserve his life.
"Senluo is merely at the Fifth Calamity of eons, yet he sweeps through Eastern Heaven’s Heavenly Emperors... If I could one day cultivate to the Fifth Calamity of eons, would there be a way to be as powerful as Senluo..." Ning Fan sighed.
Time flew by, a day passed.
That day, Ning Fan was not eager to refine the Soul Refining Pills, instead cautiously guarding the little demoness by his side, his gaze steadfastly fixed on the starry sky outside the gigantic door, awaiting the arrival of war.
Within a day, Senluo’s group traversed nearly one hundred thousand star domains.
In those Lower-Level Star Domains, there were no Divine Void Cultivators stationed, nearly no one aware of Senluo’s presence.
The cultivators of Lower-Level Star Domain could only hear of the Locking Domain Great Array being shattered by a terrifying escape light, unable to divine the destroyer’s identity.
In the Mid-Level Star Domain, there were usually Fate Immortals stationed.
The Fate Immortal Realm’s old monsters weren’t swift in receiving news, few aware of Senluo’s rampant charge, rushing towards Dongming Star Domain.
When these Fate Immortal Old Monsters witnessed Senluo’s world-shaking escape light pass by, they were all struck with terror.
They found it difficult to imagine what kind of powerful demon the owner of this escape light was, able to shatter the Locking Domain Great Array of the Mid-Level Star Domain with merely an escape light!
In Upper Starfield, True Immortals were stationed.
Whenever Senluo passed through an Upper Starfield, True Immortal Masters would lead groups to clear a path, not daring to obstruct the escape light directly ahead of Senluo.
Some Upper Starfield’s main stars ended up directly ahead of Senluo’s path.
Those Star Lords, to prevent their main stars from being smashed by Senluo, had to meticulously calculate, then exert all their efforts, move stars, shift constellations, undergoing cumbersome tasks to change their star trajectories.
Many star diagrams in the Upper Starfield have undergone significant changes due to the movement of the main star...
The closer it gets to the Dongming Star Domain, the colder Senluo’s gaze becomes, and the look in the eyes of the Beast of Destruction beneath him finally becomes conflicted, issuing a low call, seemingly unwilling to be drawn into the dispute between Senluo and the Godly Void Pavilion.
"Qianxun, since you are unwilling to become enemies with the Godly Void Pavilion, this seat will not force you. Once we reach the Heaven Suppressing Bell, I will find a way for you to meet Qianyu."
With that, Senluo stroked the ring on his finger, retrieved the Beast of Destruction, and, somewhat desolately, flew forward alone.
His silhouette resembled a lone wolf, as if he had been causing chaos alone from a long time ago.
One after another, the Locking Domain Great Arrays of the starfields were shattered mercilessly by Senluo, and finally, the Dongming Star Domain, where the Godly Void Pavilion was located, was right before them!
The Locking Domain Great Array of the Dongming Star Domain was sternly activated, and its power was driven to the extreme!
Within the formation, countless Divine Void Cultivators were stationed here. As soon as Senluo arrived, numerous warning spirit arrows were shot into the starry sky, and in the next moment, the entire Dongming Star Domain’s war drums thundered across the heavens!
Those drums were war drums!
That drum sound carried an immortal divinity, surprisingly suppressive to demonic qi and evil thoughts!
This was the unique ancient divine drum of the Godly Void Pavilion, capable of emanating the ancient divine sound that stunned demon cultivators!
Within the Ninth Star, as Ning Fan suddenly heard the drum sound, the demonic qi within him showed signs of losing control, while the ancient demon bloodline felt slightly oppressed by the drum sound.
Yet, the Heart Aperture Technique within him gradually grew exhilarated along with the drum sound.
The Inborn Ghost Mask refined into his body played its role at this time, instantly stabilizing Ning Fan’s out-of-control demonic qi.
Ning Fan simply waved his hand across his face, summoning the Inborn Ghost Mask, and in an instant, his black hair transformed into cascading silver strands!
Those drum sounds could no longer disturb his Heart Spirit in the slightest!
"Hmm? A Ghost-Faced Spirit Attire unique to the Slaughter Hall? You’ve actually become one of the Ghost-faced Assassins of the Slaughter Hall!" The little demoness was greatly surprised upon seeing Ning Fan summon the Ghost Mask.
Although she couldn’t see the power of the Inborn Ghost Mask, it was enough to surprise her, given that, to her knowledge, one needed to at least be a True Immortal to become one of the eight hundred Ghost Faces of the Slaughter Hall.
It is rare to receive a Ghost Mask reward before Enlightenment, and it was not easy for Ning Fan to obtain one by exception.
"Interesting, this is indeed an Inborn Spirit Armor. After this child summoned the Ghost Mask, even this seat finds it difficult to accurately determine his cultivation, and as for his appearance, it is completely obscured... Even when this seat was at the level of Ghost Eye Clan, I was far inferior to him." Senluo thought to himself.
This thought only lingered for a moment before Senluo dismissed it.
He would not focus too much on Ning Fan; ultimately, there was only one person who occupied his thoughts and concerns.
The clangor of the divine drum echoed beside him, causing Senluo to recall some old memories.
That year, it was still four hundred and fifty million years ago.
That year, it was amidst such similar drumbeats that he stained Dongming with blood!
That year, he implicated his master, leading the master to destroy both his eyes. Therefore, to repay the master’s kindness, he punished himself in the Heavenly Prison, confining himself for four hundred and fifty million years.
The master had raised him for forty-five million years; he wished to repay it a hundredfold. Now that what needed to be repaid has been settled, this time, he only seeks to fulfill the last wish in his heart.
This time, no one can stop his madness!
Within the Dongming Star Domain, two imperial shadows gradually appeared within the Locking Domain Great Array, gazing at Senluo through the formation light, one with an angry gaze and the other with a sighing gaze.
These two were the Shenxu Twin Emperors, who had rushed back to the Dongming Star Domain after escaping from Senluo’s Dark Prison Technique!
When Senluo’s gaze met with the Void Emperor, his eyes became even more frenzied, coldly saying,
"Senior Brother, if you hand over the Heaven Suppressing Bell, Dongming will be spared from rivers of blood!"
The Void Emperor closed his eyes, letting out a heavy sigh, "The Heaven Suppressing Bell, it’s impossible to give you, and I won’t watch you make mistake after mistake..."
With that said, as he was about to step out of the formation to confront Senluo, the Shenkong Emperor stopped him with a firm hand.
The Shenkong Emperor coldly huffed, "Void, you needn’t act personally. At this moment, Senluo has already reached our Dongming territory; with my own power alone, I can capture him alive!"
After speaking, the Shenkong Emperor pointed forward, and immediately a gigantic golden war drum appeared in the starry sky before him.
With a wave of his hand, the golden light turned into a drumstick, which fell into the Shenkong Emperor’s hand. Without a word, he pounded the war drum.
At the moment the drumstick struck, the entire Locking Domain Great Array of the Dongming Star Domain blazed with golden light, emanating waves of celestial demon wails...
From within the starry sky, the icy words of the Shenkong Emperor echoed abruptly,
"Seal the demons, appear!"
Before the Shenkong Emperor finished speaking, Senluo took a mighty step forward into the starry void.
This stepping power seemed to step on the veins of the entire Dongming Star Domain’s starry sky, and immediately countless blood flames spread along mysterious patterns in the starry sky.
With just one step, the entire Dongming Star Domain began to tremble violently, and the Locking Domain Great Array appeared with countless cracks, beginning to collapse bit by bit!
With just one step, hundreds of Cultivation Stars within the Dongming Star Domain inexplicably shattered with a roar!
The demon roar from the Locking Domain Great Array was immediately replaced with screams of shock, anger, and pain, and many demonic creatures directly perished under Senluo’s one step!
One step, footfalls upon Dongming, causing heaven and earth to overturn!
The Shenkong Emperor’s gaze changed, but he raised the drumstick again, fiercely pounding on the war drum.
Within the starry sky, countless gigantic demonic creatures, bound all over with crimson-gold chains, began to emerge slowly.
There were only about three hundred demon creatures, yet among these three hundred, there were surprisingly twelve demon creatures comparable to a Quasi-Emperor!
Ning Fan was watching the battlefield, but when he saw one of the twelve Quasi-Emperor demon creatures, his gaze suddenly changed.
That Quasi-Emperor demon creature had two horns on its head, six wings on its back, ghost eyes on its brow, and its appearance was almost identical to that of Moro the Great Emperor!
As Ning Fan was peering at this Quasi-Emperor demon creature, the creature looked in the direction of Ning Fan, slightly puzzled, muttering to itself,
"Why does it seem like I sense that junior’s aura... a hallucination perhaps..." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian.com, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
