Grasping the Evil-Chapter 843: Slave of the Red Yaksha!

In the sixth tomb, there wasn’t a single undead.

The moment Ning Fan stepped into this tomb palace, it seemed as if the entire area was subdued by an invisible force, unable to summon any undead, nor allowing anyone to leave.

Ning Fan stood amid the endless expanse of graves, a hint of madness flickering in his eyes.

He couldn’t fathom why the Innate Thunder Spirit would have a bone whip made from the bones of a red-clad skeleton; he knew that this being carried Blood Lightning, and it would be wise to avoid it...yet he still came.

He couldn’t not come! Just sensing that the bones were those of the red-clad skeleton, his heart felt an excruciating pain that pierced to the bone!

Various speculations swirled in his mind...wondering if something had happened to the red-clad one, otherwise, why were her bones forged into a weapon...

He dared not think! Such thoughts were too frightening to entertain!

The concept of something happening to the red-clad one flashed through Ning Fan’s mind but was immediately extinguished by him.

He would not allow anything to happen to her; before ascending, he had clearly arranged for Sovereign Xia and the old monster to guard the lower realms, so how could anything happen!

If the red-clad one stayed in the Rain Immortal World, she should be very safe. But what if she had ascended? If she went to the Ancient Demon Abyss, could she be in danger...

"Damn it! Why are her bones here, why!" Ning Fan clenched his fists tightly, his demeanor cold and terrifying, yet he forcibly suppressed all the worries in his heart.

Speculating wildly was useless at this point; the plan now was to reclaim the red-clad bone whip from the Thunder Spirit!

Her bones, he would allow no one to desecrate! Anyone daring to use her bones to forge a treasure was courting death!

Ning Fan’s gaze turned icy, fraught with a chilling gleam, as his ten fingers formed seals like a flurry of shadows. The Rain Intent in his eyes moved, and instantly, the world turned gloomy, a dense drizzle falling.

"Come out!"

Ning Fan’s gaze sharpened, suddenly shouting coldly, and he stomped heavily on the ground.

The Evil Qi around him immediately transformed into boundless blood flames, ruthlessly burning outward in all directions.

The curtain of rain in the world moved with his step, blending with the long wind, and the wind and rain swept violently in all directions.

The space within the tomb palace immediately trembled fiercely. Even the rules of Dao were slightly displaced.

The concealed figure of the green Thunder Spirit in the area shuddered and revealed itself, a hint of instinctual shock in its lone eye.

It was a six-foot-tall form of green thunder, its face featureless except for a small cherry-like mouth and a vertical eye on its forehead, making it extraordinarily bizarre and terrifying.

Judging by its form, this figure seemed dainty and feminine, suggesting it was a woman.

By its race, this green thunder woman resembled the gods more closely, differing entirely from the aura of demons.

"The scent of prey...the scent of Blood Lightning...the scent of the Red Yaksha..."

The green thunder woman’s voice was hoarse and cold, devoid of much emotion. Her gaze seemed somewhat hollow, her spirit awareness appeared low.

After the initial shock, the green thunder woman seemed slightly bewildered. In one encounter, she detected three distinct auras from Ning Fan.

The scent of prey naturally referred to the task assigned by Lei Jinshi...her prey for this tomb contest was but one, the Tomb Keeper of the Luo Family—Ning Fan!

The scent of the Red Yaksha also provoked her killing intent... She had reconstructed her Thunder Spirit body, forgotten many things, even forgetting who the Red Yaksha was.

But she vaguely remembered the Red Yaksha as her nemesis, whom she had destroyed and forged into a weapon.

Thus, upon scenting the Red Yaksha from Ning Fan, her eyes welled with deeper killing intent.

The scent of Blood Lightning left her somewhat confused.

Those who bore Blood Lightning were certainly Taicang Calamity Spirits, undoubtedly her kin... yet the concept of Taicang Calamity Spirit eluded her memory.

"Are you friend or foe..." the green thunder woman rasped.

"Hand over the bone whip within you!" Ning Fan’s cold tone immediately incited the killing intent of the green thunder woman.

"You desire the Red Yaksha’s bones... You are the Red Yaksha’s thrall... You are my Qingnaluo’s enemy! Die!"

In that instant, the green thunder woman’s bewilderment vanished. A mid-stage Shekong pressure exploded from her, crushing toward Ning Fan violently, draped with countless killing intents.

Simultaneously, she pointed her toe, instantly transforming into a streak of green lightning, vanished without a trace.

Without any hesitation, Ning Fan quickly summoned the Ancient Demon Puppet behind him, then flickered, dissipating into countless inky shadows, disappearing utterly, leaving the Ancient Demon Puppet to handle the crisis.

The Ancient Demon Puppet emerged with the wind and, without a word, launched its fists fiercely at the seemingly empty space ahead.

There, a green thunder woman holding two green vortex thunderballs in each hand appeared gradually. She thrusted her palms forward, the vortex thunderballs plummeted onto the Ancient Demon Puppet, unleashing countless thunderous might.

The Ancient Demon Puppet instinctively threw out both fists, trying to block the twin thunders. Under the collision of one shadow and one puppet, a wave of destruction instantly transmitted across the heavens and the earth.

The normally invincible Ancient Demon Puppet only managed to break the twin thunders, its arms trembled violently, and its entire body was wrapped in cyan lightning, paralyzed and sent flying. In terms of strength, it seemed significantly weaker than the Blue Thunder Woman.

The Blue Thunder Woman, however, did not retreat even a half step. Despite striking down the Ancient Demon Puppet with a single blow, she remained in a state of residual force, watching as a white-clothed figure appeared to her right, none other than Ning Fan.

"Roar of the Fiendgod!"

As Ning Fan appeared, he held a jade scroll in each hand, crushing them simultaneously.

These two jade scrolls were each attacks at the Shedding Void Stage, personally refined by Chen Xuan and given to the Tomb Guardian in the family, yet they were seized by Ning Fan.

The moment the jade scrolls were crushed, two gigantic shadows of ancient gods appeared on either side of Ning Fan, towering high.

Unlike their confrontation with Ning Fan, these two ancient gods facing the Blue Thunder Woman felt no fear, their eyes fierce with bright divine light.

And with Ning Fan, the Three Apertures Ancient God, beside them, the shadows of the ancient gods were filled with boundless battle will, each roaring with Shattered Star might, exerting their divine powers to the fullest.

Roar!!!

Golden sound waves filled with divine light surged, breaking into countless collapsing soundwaves, fiercely impacting upon the Blue Thunder Woman.

The Blue Thunder Woman groaned, her form transformed by blue thunder showed signs of dispersing, becoming faintly unstable.

After retreating several steps, she finally steadied herself, killing intent more intense in her eyes, she pointed a finger of reversal towards Ning Fan’s Dantian.

Once this finger pointed, countless cyan thunder runes appeared in the heavens and the earth, stretching like paths, divine light revealed.

At the moment this finger light shot forth, without any hesitation, Ning Fan summoned a set of black battle armor overflowing with demonic qi, precisely the Contrary Star Demon Armor.

The finger light reached close, instantly splitting into three, one directly towards Ning Fan, striking upon the Contrary Star Demon Armor, while the other two finger lights hit the ancient god shadows on either side of Ning Fan.

The shadows, after all, were just shadows, and upon bearing such level of attack, trembled then collapsed instantly.

The Contrary Star Demon Armor, however, was extraordinarily strong, even enduring one-third of the Blue Thunder Woman’s finger force without damage.

Yet the mighty force upon the armor still blasted Ning Fan hundreds of steps back, shaking his breath into disarray, barely stabilizing his breathing.

Looking again at the Blue Thunder Woman, his eyes now carried twelve degrees more intensity.

At this initial clash, teaming with the Ancient Demon Puppet, using two Shedding Void jade scrolls, employing the defense of the Contrary Star Demon Armor, they were still soundly defeated, far from being the Blue Thunder Woman’s match.

"Servant of the Red Yaksha, same rebellious kind, kill without mercy..."

The Blue Thunder Woman tapped the tips of her toes, charging Ning Fan fiercely once more, killing intent surging in her eyes.

Her inexplicable words, Ning Fan naturally could not grasp the deeper meaning, nor did he have the mind to spare to think about it.

As the Blue Thunder Woman charged head-on, Ning Fan immediately withdrew behind the Ancient Demon Puppet, urging the Thunder Star, with a wave, took away the paralyzing lightning crackling on the puppet.

Once the paralysis effect dissipated, under Ning Fan’s single-handed control, the Ancient Demon Puppet immediately charged forward, once again intercepting the Blue Thunder Woman’s attack.

Though not her match, it could still hold off the Blue Thunder Woman temporarily.

"This Thunder Spirit’s strength is profound, and her body harbors the unsettling factor of Calamity Blood... Not easy to kill... But if it’s for reclaiming the bones of the Red Robe, no matter how difficult, so what! First transformation!"

As the Ancient Demon Puppet blocked the Blue Thunder Woman, Ning Fan directly activated the War God’s Secret Art, his long black hair suddenly turning blood red, wildly dancing in the wind and rain.

The gentle dripping of rain surrounded him, but Ning Fan’s heart grew calmer amidst the rain.

The Rain Divine Star at his brow appeared at his thought.

The instant this divine star appeared, Ning Fan’s gaze suddenly turned sharp, and he coldly snorted, "Rain Yin Yang, unseal!"

The power of Rain Yin Yang was too strong, sealed by the Ancient Chaos, at Ning Fan’s current cultivation level, he could at most unseal Rain Yin Yang for the duration of an incense stick.

Beyond that duration, he would continuously suffer backlash injury; beyond two hours, his spirit would instantly perish, with no resting place for his dead body.

This technique couldn’t be used for long, but for settling victory against the Blue Thunder Woman, a short time was enough.

At the moment Rain Yin Yang unsealed, Ning Fan’s power instantly exploded, soaring all the way!

His realm climbed from Ghost Immortal Peak, breaking through Crossing Truth, proceeding from Crossing Truth Initial to Intermediate, Late Stage!

With his realm at Crossing Truth Late Stage, Ning Fan’s mana now nearly reached the Peak Crossing Truth Realm.

He took a deep breath, suddenly grasping with five fingers towards the ground, red hair flying!

At this moment, he unexpectedly cast the Soul Extraction Technique!

The divine skill of Soul Extraction expanded outward from the Tomb Palace, spreading towards the four directions of the Immemorial Stars.

The star souls of seven nearby Cultivation Stars, were extracted in the same instant by Ning Fan!

"Soul Extraction Technique!"

On the high platform outside, a multitude of astonished exclamations immediately erupted, with countless gazes fixed unwaveringly on the Sixth Tomb!

They couldn’t believe that Ning Fan could cultivate the Soul Extraction Technique to the realm of star souls, and furthermore, had extracted the star souls of seven cultivation stars in one fell swoop!

They were unable to comprehend, given Ning Fan’s divine abilities, why his tomb-breaking speed was so slow, and moreover, why he would exhibit such powerful soul extraction technique within the weak tomb palace of the Sixth Tomb!

Several ancestors of the Luo Family had their gazes turn cold in unison, Luo Shix’s gaze was also frosty, while the little demoness’s eyes were unmistakably filled with worry.

Those with insight had gradually realized that something must have happened within the Sixth Tomb.

Why did Jun Changdong choose to give up the challenge of the Sixth Tomb, and why did Ning Fan display such powerful divine skill and go all out... all these are thought-provoking!

"Lei Jinshi, after this tomb competition is over, you had better give me an explanation!"

The Great Elder of Godly Void Pavilion’s gaze was exceedingly gloomy at this moment.

He was one of the three elders who constructed the tomb palace, and naturally understood some of Lei Jinshi’s little schemes.

Lei Jinshi had inserted thunder spirits into the tomb palace to ambush juniors on more than one occasion; he had ignored it last time when the ambush was on Jun Changdong.

This time, he had to intervene because the ambush was on Ning Fan.

After all, Jun Changdong was just a junior, turning a blind eye could still be excused, but Ning Fan was different.

Who was Ning Fan? He was a promising candidate to become the Eternal Immortal Venerable, and if Lei Jinshi killed him in the tomb, it might be tolerable, but if he failed to kill him, such a provocation would undoubtedly make Ning Fan a future adversary for the Godly Void Pavilion...

Upon hearing this, fury immediately flowed in Lei Jinshi’s eyes, yet he dared not retaliate against the Great Elder, merely snorted coldly without speaking further.

Ambushing juniors was not something he alone had done; hadn’t the Great Elder done it too! To criticize him, did he have the qualifications!

"What to do? Young Friend Ning seems to be in trouble, should we notify the Plague King to intervene and assist..." Guibing Ancestral Master frowned, showing signs of concern.

Just as this thought emerged, he was suddenly startled to discover, on the previously empty seat beside him, the presence of ’Plague King’ Lv Wen, who was lightly watching the Sixth Tomb with some disdain.

"Qin Gui greets the Plague King! How long have you been here, and how come I didn’t know!" Guibing Ancestral Master dared not be negligent and quickly saluted Lv Wen.

"I’ve been here for a while... hmm! Lei Jinshi, Chen Xuan, ants in cultivation, dare to provoke Daoist Ning, truly courting death!" Lv Wen snorted disdainfully, with his Immortal King’s vision, he could vaguely perceive what was transpiring within the Sixth Tomb.

He wasn’t worried about Ning Fan’s safety and did not believe Ning Fan would be vanquished by a mid-stage Shekong-level thunder spirit.

In his mind, Ning Fan was most likely an Immortal King too; how could he possibly be harmed by a Shekong thunder spirit?

Of course, Ning Fan might be deliberately concealing his cultivation, perhaps not daring to unleash his full prowess, and this was conceivable... If so, he wouldn’t mind assisting Ning Fan, and forming a tie of goodwill!

"However, wasn’t Brother Ning trying to hide his cultivation? Why did he use Dao Thought Technique in the first round of the tomb competition? Isn’t he worried about arousing suspicion? The world merely thinks he is at Ghost Profound level and is astounding in using Dao Thought Technique, but I know full well he is an Immortal King, how could he possibly be unable to perform Dao Thought Technique..."

"Speaking of which, Brother Ning’s Dao Thought Technique is truly vast and profound, if he used this technique to its fullest extent, hardly any Immortal King could withstand it..."

"Today’s Soul Extraction Technique is also quite potent, his precision in soul extraction control surpasses mine by a margin, worthy of being Daoist Ning..."

With each ’fact,’ Lv Wen grew increasingly convinced that Ning Fan was an Eternal Immortal King.

Ning Fan naturally wouldn’t know or care about this.

At this moment, he had extracted the star souls of seven nearby cultivation stars and swallowed them, his mana instantly truly reaching the peak Crossing Truth level.

Coupled with the Heavenly Demon Physical Body and the War God’s Secret Art, at this instant, Ning Fan’s dual cultivation of body and law made his momentum slightly inferior to Shekong but stronger than any Crossing Truth realm master!

At this moment, Ning Fan was at his strongest stance to date, almost invincible below Shekong!

This power gave Ning Fan the confidence to vie for first place in the tomb competition and the courage to face the innate thunder spirit!

With his current strength, deploying the lightning diagram to take down the innate thunder spirit wouldn’t be difficult, the only concern was the thunder spirit’s Blood Lightning...

The green thunder lady who was entangled with the Ancient Demon Puppet suddenly sensed Ning Fan’s surging aura and her gaze immediately swept towards him.

At this moment, even with her limited spirit awareness, the green thunder lady felt a hint of shock.

Although Ning Fan only had Ghost Profound Peak stage cultivation, after deploying a series of techniques, his strength managed to be invincible in Crossing Truth realm within an extremely short time, nearing Shekong!

"It’s a pity he’s bound by the Red Yaksha, else he could’ve been taken as my slave..." The green thunder lady snorted coldly, with killing intent manifesting.

She waved her graceful palm, forcing the Ancient Demon Puppet back a thousand steps, her toes touched the ground, immediately breaking away and charging fiercely towards Ning Fan.

At this moment, Ning Fan was at his strongest stance, even when facing a mid-stage Shekong level thunder spirit, there wasn’t the feeling of inability to resist that he had before.

"Punishment Lightning Whip, appear!"

The green thunder lady uttered from her lips, releasing a red glow.

That red glow, crackling with a sizzling sound of red lightning, had lightning power distinct from her green thunder form.

Under the red glow, there was a white bone lightning whip. As the whip lashed out, the heavens and earth seemed to be halved by a flash of lightning.

A sense of annihilation instantly rose in Ning Fan’s heart.

At the moment the whip struck, a strong force passed through the Contrary Star Demon Armor, immediately transmitted throughout Ning Fan’s body, causing a painful throb in his chest and he coughed up blood.

At the instant he was struck by the whip, countless shadows of the lightning whip formed in his Dantian, directly striking his Spirit. It was remarkably similar to the Blood Lightning Sacrifice Technique!

"This bone of the lightning whip truly belonged to the red long dress!" Ning Fan’s heart suddenly clenched.

He dared not imagine what had happened to the red long dress to have her bones extracted and forged into a whip.

He dared not imagine, unwilling to imagine, unable to bear imagining...

A boundless fury ignited in his heart, all directed towards the green lightning woman!

"Reverse!"

Ning Fan coldly shouted, directly activating the most powerful Divine Skills of the Contrary Star Demon Armor.

Although the armor’s defense was astonishing, its most formidable and renowned feature was the power of reversal within it.

This power could reverse a Master’s Divine Skills and spells, sending them back.

As Ning Fan uttered the word "Reverse," most of the whip shadows in his Dantian instantly dissipated.

Ninety percent of the lightning power rebounded, fiercely striking the green lightning woman. She was immediately shaken by the power, her lightning body seemingly dispersed, her eyes filled with shock.

The remaining ten percent of the lightning power still formed whip shadows, striking Ning Fan’s Spirit. In an instant, Ning Fan’s injuries worsened to an unbearable state, and his Spirit weakened.

His body grew weaker, yet the rage and resolve in his eyes intensified!

"No matter who you are, today you must return the bones of the red long dress! If not, you shall die!"

Ning Fan’s body soared into the sky, stepping onto the sky.

With that step, a giant lightning diagram of blood lightning immediately unfolded in the heavens.

He flicked his finger, causing the lightning diagram to coil fiercely toward the green lightning woman, as if to draw her directly into the diagram.

Upon seeing the diagram, the green lightning woman’s expression immediately turned to horror. Though her spirit awareness was low, she sensed an immense crisis from the diagram!

With Ning Fan’s current power nearing the Mid Stage of Shekong, forcibly opening the lightning diagram could likely capture and kill her!

"Accursed slave of Red Yaksha! Luckily, this person’s Blood Lightning is inferior to mine, and I can use the power of Calamity Thought to kill him!"

From the single eye of the green lightning woman, strands of Calamity Thought Red Glow suddenly flew out, enveloping her.

In the next instant, she was forcibly absorbed into the lightning diagram.

Not as smoothly as Ning Fan anticipated — the green lightning woman remained within the diagram for just three breaths before beams of Calamity Thought Red Glow emerged.

In that instant, the diagram shattered!

The green lightning woman reappeared in the Tomb Palace world, swallowing the white bone lightning whip back into her abdomen, and with both hands swept, a myriad of red clouds, all transformed from Calamity Thought, appeared in the heavens.

An unprecedented sense of danger immediately surged in Ning Fan’s heart!

"Such powerful Calamity Thought! I must shatter it before this ocean of Calamity Thought clouds fully forms, otherwise, I won’t survive!"

"But these bones, I must take them away at any cost! Not even the myriad Calamity Thought can stop me!"

"Her bones, I will not allow anyone to defile!"

"Five Swords, appear!"

As Ning Fan finished speaking, five sword beams immediately flew from his sword pouch, shooting into the sky.

Faced with the green lightning woman, Ning Fan couldn’t hold back, and had to use his strongest Divine Skills to shatter the red clouds and ocean.

Yin-Yang Five Swords!

Naturally, he couldn’t currently perform the true Yin-Yang Five Swords, only their simplified form, the Five Swords Technique.

The simplified Five Swords were not Yin-Yang Five Swords, but rather... Rain’s Five Swords!

As these five swords ascended, it seemed as if all the rain between heaven and earth obeyed Ning Fan’s command!

Threads of Rain Dao Principle power spread densely like a spider spinning its web.

"Rain comes from clouds; clouds giving birth to rain is order; rain breaking clouds is reverse... Heavenly rain, heed my command, reverse!!!" (To be continued.
