Grasping the Evil-Chapter 832: Unable to Speak!
In the understanding of this Beast-Headed Demon, there is no technique in the world for seizing a person’s fortune.
Upon hearing that the Chaotic Ancient Phantom wouldn’t take his life, only his fortune, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I have traveled the world and have never heard of any means of seizing a person’s fortune... No matter how powerful the Divine Skills of the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor are, he can’t seize my fortune!"
In the world of cultivation, the strong survive and the weak perish. His words of submission to the Ancient Chaos were not due to any real gratitude for saving his life, but only out of fear of Ancient Chaos’s power.
In his heart, his attitude towards Ancient Chaos was anything but respectful.
Upon hearing that Ancient Chaos wanted to send Ning Fan, this junior from the Ghost Immortal Realm, to seize his fortune, the Beast-Headed Demon couldn’t help but smirk internally, looking at Ning Fan with a hidden disdain.
He didn’t believe that Ning Fan could seize his fortune!
"Young friend, go ahead! If you truly have the power to seize a person’s fortune, then show it so that I can see! If you can do it, my entire fortune is yours; what does it matter! But can you do it?"
The Beast-Headed Demon stood with his hands behind his back, squinting at Ning Fan, with a slight trace of scorn.
To the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor, he dared not be disrespectful; to Ning Fan, he did not hold in high regard, as the latter was merely from the Ghost Immortal Realm.
"Is my disciple someone you can underestimate?" Ancient Chaos’s voice, carrying a hint of coldness, reached the ears of the Beast-Headed Demon.
The Beast-Headed Demon immediately shivered, and his gaze toward Ning Fan gradually turned to shock.
"This boy is actually a disciple of the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor!"
If Ning Fan truly held this status, no demon in the final three layers of the Divine Tomb would dare to make a move against him!
"Is the third gift from the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor to help me elevate my fortune realm..."
Ning Fan remained silent for a moment, finally stepping forward.
He cultivated the Big Dipper Celestial Tome, a gift from the Slaughter Emperor. Throughout history, the Slaughter Emperors used this technique to elevate their fortune realms.
The Big Dipper Celestial Tome refines the stars into fortune. The latter half of the tome records a Divine Skill named ’Reverse Big Dipper.’
This Great Divine Power can seize a person’s fortune and make it one’s own. Today, Ning Fan finally had the opportunity to use this technique.
His fortune level is the First Color of Immortal Luck. If he could use the Reverse Big Dipper technique to seize the fortune of a hundred Second Color Cultivators, he could cultivate to the Second Color of Fortune...
As he approached the Beast-Headed Demon, Ning Fan stopped, raised his left palm slightly, and an imprint of a purple umbrella shadow appeared on his palm.
"The First Color of Immortal Luck... is not as powerful as my Second Color." The old Beast-Headed Demon showed no change in expression, but internally sneered.
But in the next instant, his eyes suddenly showed shock.
The umbrella shadow imprint in Ning Fan’s palm suddenly shot out seven rays of purple fortune light, penetrating into his Tian Ling.
As those seven purple rays entered his body, the Beast-Headed Demon shuddered all over, and an arcane power within him rapidly drained, swallowed by those seven purple rays!
This rapidly draining power was the power of fortune!
His eyes momentarily lost focus, and before them appeared layers of phantoms.
It was as if he were alone in a dark void, with a river of fortune in Second Color flowing beneath him.
In that void, there was the seven-star Northern Dipper, arranged across the sky!
The seven stars’ light suddenly reversed, converging into a giant ladle of light, scooping fiercely at the river of fortune beneath him. Immediately, his fortune realm began to plummet!
"Impossible! There truly exists a Divine Skill that seizes fortune in this world!"
Instinctively, the old man wanted to activate his Divine Skills to resist this technique seizing his fortune.
But once his spirit was lost and his eyes showed phantoms, he could no longer resist this technique, and could only let Ning Fan slowly strip away his fortune!
If, at the first moment when Ning Fan used this technique, he could have leveraged the disparity in their cultivations to forcibly interrupt it, now it was too late for resistance...
His original fortune at the Second Color of Immortal Luck was now frantically dropping, all the way down to the First Color.
Without seizing all his fortune, Ning Fan ceased, as continuing further held no meaning.
The umbrella shadow imprint in his left palm grew slightly brighter than before...
Reverse Big Dipper can only devour fortune higher than one’s own to elevate one’s fortune level; this is a limitation of the Big Dipper Celestial Tome technique.
It wasn’t until Ning Fan ended the technique that the Beast-Headed Demon’s eyes regained focus, cold sweat pouring down his back, filled with both fear and relief.
Fearful of Ning Fan’s heaven-defying skill for seizing fortune!
Relieved that Ning Fan didn’t completely strip him of his fortune and left him with the First Color of Immortal Luck...
"This boy is merely from the Ghost Immortal Realm, yet he can use such an eerie skill to seize my fortune!!! What kind of Divine Skill is this; if I were to kill this boy and take his skill..."
As soon as this greedy thought arose in the Beast-Headed Demon’s mind, he immediately quashed it.
How could he dare to act against Ning Fan and seize this heaven-defying skill? Ning Fan was, after all, a disciple of Ancient Chaos!
"Moye, from today on, you and I owe each other nothing! Next!"
The Chaotic Ancient Phantom swept his sleeve, directly taking Ning Fan away from this place to the second demon lair.
As before, it was Ancient Chaos who intimidated the demons, and Ning Fan personally seized their fortunes.
After an incense stick’s worth of time, the two left this demon lair and moved to the next one.
In just three days, they visited over three hundred demon abodes, seizing the fortunes of more than three hundred demons!
Three days later, the umbrella shadow imprint in Ning Fan’s left palm’s hand was growing increasingly radiant.
If he could retreat for cultivation just once, he would be able to refine all the seized fortunes.
"That’s about enough... the powerful fortunes here have almost all been taken by you, you can retreat with me and cultivate in seclusion now!"
The Chaotic Ancient Phantom moved his Daoist Thought, taking Ning Fan back to the Chaotic Ancient Tomb Palace.
Within this Tomb Palace, Ning Fan went into seclusion for ten days.
During these ten days, the Fortune Umbrella phenomenon appeared three times over the Tomb Palace.
The first appearance of the great Fortune Umbrella showed only two colors, purple and blue.
The second umbrella shadow brought an additional green color, transforming it into three colors.
The third appearance revealed four colors, with an added shade of green!
Purple, blue, green, and emerald, the four colors intertwined brilliantly; the giant umbrella opened, its fortune power shaking the heavens and the earth.
After the four-color phenomenon disappeared, the umbrella mark on Ning Fan’s left palm also transformed into four colors.
His fortune completely broke through at this moment.
Immortal Fate Fourth Color!
The four-color fortune is generally something only a few eternal old freaks qualify to possess!
Although Ning Fan has not yet entered the Crossing Truth Realm, he has cultivated such high fortune that his future opportunities are naturally far beyond his peers.
This is the third gift the Chaotic Ancient Phantom has given to Ning Fan!
To bestow Ning Fan this gift, in the nine layers of the Divine Tomb, all demon beasts with great fortune were directly approached by Chaotic Ancient.
Over three hundred demon beasts could only look on enviously at Ning Fan’s unparalleled fortune; who could blame them for not having such a powerful master as Chaotic Ancient.
"Thank you, Senior, for boosting this junior’s fortune realm!"
Ning Fan dispelled the umbrella shadow mark, stood up, bowed respectfully towards the Chaotic Ancient Phantom with a fist salute, his expression extremely reverent.
The three gifts from Chaotic Ancient were all exceedingly valuable, and none could be taken lightly.
At this moment, Ning Fan found a trace of warmth in Chaotic Ancient, a warmth that old monster had also given him...
That year, the old monster likewise took him across the countries of the Rain Immortal World, seizing possessions, presenting them to him as gifts...
The same domineering manner, the same care...
"No need for thanks; this is your reward for enduring the Calamity Thought trial. The gift has been given, now I wish to have a good talk with you... What is your name?"
The Chaotic Ancient Phantom smiled at Ning Fan. He had endured too much suffering and too many long sleeps; now waiting for Ning Fan, his successor, he felt a touch of gratification. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"Ning Fan." Ning Fan raised his hand, his fingers glowing, writing two light-filled characters in the air.
"Ning Fan, it’s a good name..." Chaotic Ancient nodded and then asked, "How many Void Commands did you bring with you when entering the Divine Tomb?"
"Originally five, but after entering the Tomb Palace once, only four remain..." Ning Fan answered.
"Four, that’s indeed a bit less, but if I assist you with all my might, it should be barely enough to cultivate the First Yin-Yang... You shall comprehend the First Yin-Yang of the Chaos Ring Technique under these bronze statues; once you cultivate the first Yin-Yang Nascent Star, I will help you accomplish the First Yin-Yang..."
Saying this, Chaotic Ancient slightly turned, took a step forward, and the phantom form showed signs of dissipating.
"Senior, wait!" Ning Fan suddenly interjected.
"What is it?" Chaotic Ancient halted the dissipation of the phantom and turned to ask.
"This junior has many doubts in my heart, hoping for Senior to help me clear them."
"What doubts? Speak freely."
Ning Fan scanned the twenty-seven bronze statues with a solemn gaze, then asked gravely, "Did Senior truly personally slay all immediate kin..."
"Yes... the reason, I can no longer tell you now." Chaotic Ancient’s eyes showed regret as he closed his speech with sadness.
"Is it because of the Calamity Thought!" Ning Fan inwardly examined the trace of red glow in his blood, his eyes turning even more grave.
The power of the red glow was too terrifying, comparable to the Power of Reincarnation. If the red glow were abundant enough, even Saints could not escape disaster, reduced to slaves of Calamity Thought...
Ning Fan firmly believed that Chaotic Ancient’s character would never make the insane act of killing kin to prove Dao.
And whenever Calamity Thought was mentioned, Chaotic Ancient would show regret.
The reason he slew his kin might likely be due to Calamity Thought...
Calamity Thought can completely control a person, altering their nature.
It is possible that Chaotic Ancient was once controlled by Calamity Thought, killing all his kin; or perhaps, it was those fallen kin who were controlled by Calamity Thought...
Chaotic Ancient’s gaze shook slightly, giving Ning Fan a deep glance.
"You have a remarkable mind, able to infer so much information from my few words. There are things I wish to tell you but... cannot speak! Otherwise, the Master of Calamity Thought would perceive it, and these four heavens and nine worlds might fall to the same fate as the Zi Dou Immortal Domain..."
Cannot speak!
It is not unwillingness, but inability!
The Ancient Chaos Great Emperor dared not tell Ning Fan many things, fearing being sensed by the Master of Calamity Thought, hence, cannot speak...
The words ’Master of Calamity Thought’ echoed in Ning Fan’s ears, akin to thunderclaps, making his body and mind tremble!
Just the thought of these words is not allowed! Just a mere thought made all the hair on Ning Fan’s body stand upright, a tremendous sense of danger flowing through his body!
It’s as if his entire Taoist path would be buried under these mere words!
Neither think nor mention!
"Quickly dispel the wild thoughts!"
Chaotic Ancient said no more, directly raising a finger to touch Ning Fan’s forehead, his expression exceedingly solemn.
With his cultivation, just uttering the four words ’Master of Calamity Thought’ reached his absolute limit.
Yet Ning Fan does not even have the right to think about it!
