Grasping the Evil-Chapter 844: Lu Kills Without Reason!
It seemed as if a voice sliced through the firmament, as if at this moment, the rain between heaven and earth was to obey Ning Fan’s decree.
It seemed as if a will was imposed upon the laws of the Dao, as in the moment the five Immortal Swords soared into the sky, that will reached its peak, all merging into a single word!
Reverse!
Rain comes from the clouds, but today, the rain shall defy the clouds!
Cultivation comes from calamity, but today, cultivation shall defy calamity!
It was as if the sound of millions of raindrops fell into the ears of the lightning girl, causing her lone eye to show a startled expression.
"This boy can actually grasp a thread of the Rain Dao Principle of heaven and earth!"
One could not blame the lightning girl for her surprise. Although Ning Fan only grasped a thread of the Rain Dao Principle, not complete control, even that thread was something that even an Eternal Immortal Venerable might not accomplish!
Ning Fan’s Grand Five Elements Body was pushed to its utmost at this moment, as if all his Mana was poured into the five swords.
Once the five Immortal Swords soared up, they immediately slashed towards the endless red clouds like lightning.
The five rays of sword light immediately cleaved out in unison, instantly provoking all the Rain Intent between heaven and earth, turning all the rain into reflections of the Immortal Swords at this moment!
Millions of Immortal Sword reflections carried an extremely terrifying will, as if to cleave open heaven and earth, as if to cleave open Hundun, as if to cleave apart everything that obstructed their path!
If heaven blocks the way, then rend the heavens! If earth blocks the way, then sunder the earth! If man blocks the way, then slay man! If god blocks the way, then execute god! If ghost blocks the way, then slay ghost!
Layers of red clouds, yet to form the Calamity Thought Divine Ability, immediately collapsed!
In the moment the sky-full of red clouds shattered, Ning Fan’s spirit sense changed, and the countless rain sword reflections between heaven and earth immediately slashed towards the lightning girl!
Among them, five sword reflections bore unparalleled might, terrifying the lightning girl to the core!
Those five sword reflections, four of which Ning Fan had seized from the Weichen Ancestor during the Six Desires Great Tribulation, were called the Weichen Four Swords, the Five Nirvana Post-Heaven Immortal Swords.
The remaining one was a relic of the Six Desires Immortal King, the Twelve Nirvana Post-Heaven Immortal Sword—Separation and Union Sword!
The Rain’s Five Swords, commanded with the help of the five rays of sword light, using the swordsmanship of the Yin-Yang Five Swords, fiercely slashed towards the lightning girl.
The lightning girl, in utter shock, transformed instantly, her delicate body towering up, becoming a robust one-eyed giant, every inch of her skin transformed into thunder.
The one-eyed giant, upon appearing, immediately clapped her massive hand, forcefully pounding it forward.
The scarlet Calamity Thought turned into a hand seal, blasting forwards, instantly causing countless rain sword reflections to collapse one after another.
With each sword reflection that collapsed, the power of the hand seal weakened slightly, and the Calamity Thought within it crumbled bit by bit.
When there were only the last five Immortal Swords remaining between heaven and earth, two-thirds of the Sword Intent within the hand seal had disappeared, dissolved into the Rain Intent.
"Annihilate!"
With just one word from Ning Fan, the five Immortal Swords surged forth, Rain’s Sword Intent soaring to the sky, directly shattering the weakening hand seal.
The one-eyed giant was greatly startled, and she swiftly reached out a large hand towards the five swords.
The Weichen Four Swords collapsed in Sword Intent under her grasp, retreating frantically.
Yet, the giant’s hand immediately bore four startling wounds, caused by the slashing of the rules, unable to heal!
Only the Separation and Union Sword, as the twelve nirvana post-heaven Immortal Sword, its rank infinitely approaching that of an Innate Treasure, was not something the giant could repel with a mere grab.
However, the Separation and Union Sword required the absorption of blood essence to exert its power, which was a significant flaw of this sword.
As Ning Fan’s blood essence frantically vanished, the power of the Separation and Union Sword was incrementally aroused, nearly unleashing only one percent of its potential power.
As sword light flashed, the Tomb Palace was immediately cleaved in two!
Under this sword light, the one-eyed giant was utterly bisected, letting out a miserable cry, instantly meeting her demise, shattering into everywhere’s blue thunders.
She looked at Ning Fan in disbelief, harboring boundless resentment... she was slain by the slave of the Red Yaksha...
The astonishing Sword Intent, penetrating beyond the Sixth Tomb Palace, madly spread towards the surrounding high platforms, stirring all the Rain Intent between heaven and earth!
On all four high platforms, countless old monsters suddenly stood up, staring incredulously at the misty rain between heaven and earth.
The fog veiled the Eastern Ocean, all of the rain mist was incited by a single sword of Ning Fan.
"What kind of swordsmanship is this, capable of inciting a trace of the Rain Dao Principle, condensing into Sword Light!"
"A Divine Skill that mobilizes Dao principles! Not even every Eternal Immortal Venerable can wield such a Divine Skill!"
"It cannot be wrong! The aura within this Sword Intent belongs to the Thousand Autumn Ancestor, this sword glow was unleashed by the Thousand Autumn Ancestor!"
"Hiss! The Thousand Autumn Ancestor can wield such terrifying swordsmanship! The power of this sword, even a Mid Stage of Shekong, would find it difficult to withstand!"
Yue Han was closest to the sixth tomb, and naturally, she felt the Sword Intent within the sixth tomb most acutely.
Her beautiful eyes widened, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably with fear, retreating constantly.
When this Sword Intent rushed towards her, in her mind, there immediately echoed the sound of millions of raindrops, each drop shaking her spirit sense.
It seemed as if her entire Taoist attainment would melt into the sound of rain!
Unable to resist, unbeatable! This was Yue Han’s most genuine feeling facing this Sword Intent!
She originally felt annoyed with Ning Fan, but at this moment, she felt terrified.
Originally, she still harbored thoughts of contending with Ning Fan, but now, she no longer dared to fight or compete with him!
"Ning Fan has indeed become so formidable!" Fellow Daoist Xu looked incredulously at the sixth tomb’s palace, a strange chill rising from his feet, rushing straight to Tian Ling.
If Ning Fan had such terrifying strength, how could he dare to have a life-and-death duel with Ning Fan over an issue from hundreds of years ago... His relationship with Xu Years was merely superficial, not deep to that extent!
"Is this Brother Ning’s true strength! Even if I merge with all my body doubles, I’m still not his opponent... The third round, if he uses this move, I will be utterly defeated... No... With this strength, breaking through the 24 tombs is certainly not difficult, the third round... will it still exist?" Jun Changdong chuckled bitterly.
The power of this sword made countless old monsters marvel, and on the northern high platform, including Luo Shix, eight elders were all struck speechless with shock.
Only the Eighth Elder Lei Jinshi, looking at the soul plates split into two halves in his hand, his eyes turned blood-red with anger.
This was Lei Ling’s soul plate, and now that it was broken, it meant Lei Ling had been slain by Ning Fan!
"Lei Ling is dead, Lei Ling is actually dead! My millions of years of hard work, destroyed in an instant! Ning Fan, you seek death!"
In the outer world, millions of cultivators were finally shaken as they desired by Ning Fan.
This time, the Rain’s Five Swords prompted traces of the Dao, commanding the rain of the heavens and earth, more astounding than the West Wind Technique. They witnessed a miracle once again, a miracle evoked by a Ghost Profound Fate Immortal.
In the sixth tomb’s palace, after Lei Ling’s fall, countless natal green thunderbolts filled the sky, crackling, resembling the sharp sounds of thousands of birds.
Among these countless thunders, there were indeed five little girls’ voices, spreading in excitement.
"Humph! Tremble, little genderless Lei Ling, how can you be a match for big sister!"
"Humph! Second sister isn’t done playing yet; if you didn’t die so quickly, second sister would have chopped you five hundred more times, to teach you a lesson!"
"Third sister slashed you seven hundred times!"
"Fourth sister slashed you nine hundred times!"
"Five... five... five..."
The ones speaking were the five little sword spirits residing within the Five Immortal Swords.
Usually, when Ning Fan heard these five little girls chirping, he would most likely chuckle. But at this moment, he couldn’t bring himself to smile.
Rain’s Five Swords were finally unleashed, annihilating the natal green Lei Ling. Even having slain the Innate Thunder Spirit, Ning Fan’s mood remained heavy, filled with heartache.
At this moment, Ning Fan’s face was colorless, extremely weak, his vital blood being forcibly drained by the Separation and Union Sword within Rain’s Five Swords by ninety percent.
Although his aura was weak, his gaze was still as frenzied and demonic as before, but beneath the demonic thoughts, lay heartache, lay grief...
With the death of the Innate Thunder Spirit, its thunderous body shattered into countless green shattered thunders, and within those shattered thunders, there even floated a wisp of blood lightning.
Ning Fan seemed oblivious to the full sky of shattered thunder, seemed oblivious to that wisp of blood lightning... In his eyes, there was only the shadow of that white bone Lightning Whip.
As soon as Lei Ling died, the Lightning Whip immediately fell from the sky, falling with the light rain.
Ning Fan, heart aching as if twisted, stepped forward on the wet, muddy ground, carefully catching the bone whip.
His hand gently stroked the bone whip, bringing an indescribable pain.
This was her bone... her bone, refined into a weapon...
Wait!
Ning Fan’s gaze suddenly focused, as he stroked the white bone, the sadness gradually faded, and a grave, puzzled expression emerged.
The aura within this bone indeed resembled Red Long Dress, almost indistinguishable without careful discrimination.
However, now, with Ning Fan’s close contact with the bone whip, he finally discerned a subtle difference from within it.
The aura of the bone was much like Red Long Dress, but it was not her bone!
Moreover, this bone clearly belonged to an ancient cultivator, existing for far too long. Ning Fan scrutinized closely, discerning that this bone whip’s bone, at the very least, has existed for hundreds of millions of years... perhaps even longer! Long before Red Long Dress was born, this bone had already existed...
"It isn’t her bone, the aura is just similar..."
Ning Fan breathed a sigh of relief after confirming repeatedly.
His biggest worry was something happening to the red clothes, wondering if the remains would be refined into a magical treasure. Now it seems that this concern was purely overthinking...
With his heart eased, a feeling of weakness immediately surged within.
Gazing at the bone whip in his hand, Ning Fan pondered for a moment before storing it in the Xuan Yin Treasure.
When he looked again at the shattered thunder in the sky, his gaze turned cold, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned the lightning diagram, directly collecting all of the sky’s shattered thunder and sealing it within.
This Lightning Spirit was innately formed and had yet to truly take the form of a woman, making it essentially neither male nor female according to the little sword spirit girl.
Against such a Lightning Spirit, it was impossible to use Yin-Yang bewitching techniques; otherwise, Ning Fan wouldn’t have ended up in such a bitter battle.
Though it hadn’t taken human shape, the lightning power contained within the Lightning Spirit was extremely terrifying. As an innate spiritual object, the lightning power of these shattered thunders was extremely pure and had considerable use...
"Lei Jinshi, your Lightning Spirit gift, I will unreservedly accept!"
Ning Fan collected the endless shattered thunder and then reached out to capture a thread of tribulation blood from the sky.
"Is this the tribulation blood of the Taicang Calamity Spirit... I remember that Lightning Spirit claimed to be called Qingnaluo or something, and her words repeatedly mentioned the Red Yaksha... Qingnaluo, Red Yaksha, Taicang Calamity Spirit..."
Taicang Calamity Spirit, tribulation blood, Calamity Thought, Master of Calamity Thought... There’s a great secret within, but Ning Fan is not very informed.
"This is the tribulation blood within the body of the Qing Thunder Lightning Spirit, her tribulation blood is ten times more than mine... If I were to devour this thread of tribulation blood..."
After contemplating, Ning Fan sealed this thread of Calamity Thought’s power, temporarily putting it aside for processing after the tomb competition ends.
After taking expensive pills to suppress the damage caused by his vital blood, Ning Fan gazed over the Tomb Palace world.
With the fall of the Qing Thunder Lightning Spirit, dead spirits began to gradually emerge from this barren tomb.
Five Immortal Swords descended from the sky, whirling around Ning Fan’s side, emitting the childish voices of five little girls.
"Little Fan Fan! We haven’t played enough!"
"If you haven’t played enough, then continue playing!"
Ning Fan’s spirit sense shifted, and the five Immortal Swords immediately charged forth, carrying the world’s rain momentum, their sword lights chaotically slashing at the ground.
The dead spirits here, without exception, all fell under the sword light of the five swords, utterly powerless to resist.
They could not withstand the might of Rain’s Five Swords!
Rain’s Five Swords is a simplified version of the Yin-Yang Five Swords, using the Weichen Four Swords and Separation and Union Sword as carriers of sword intent, assisted by five little sword spirit girls. Through six months of arduous cultivation, Ning Fan finally bred a hint of synergy with the five little girls, allowing for the application of the swordsmanship of the five swords under the premise of unraveling the Rain Yin-Yang.
The simplified version of the Yin-Yang Five Swords cannot fully exhibit the domineering power to sever heaven, earth, man, god, and ghost but brings Rain Yin-Yang’s force to its extreme.
If used simultaneously with the power of Rain Yin-Yang, Rain’s Five Swords is sufficient to severely injure those at the Initiate Realm of Shekong!
If Ning Fan inflicts damage upon his vital blood to activate the power of the Separation and Union Sword, this technique might even have the potential to kill at the Mid Stage of Shekong!
Of course, the cost of damaging one’s vital blood is too high, unless absolutely necessary, Ning Fan wouldn’t damage his vital blood.
"Just a little while longer, and I’ll be unable to suppress the power of Rain Yin-Yang... Before the power of Rain Yin-Yang spirals out of control, I need to break into the twenty-fourth tomb! Claim first place!"
After annihilating the dead spirits of the sixth tomb, Ning Fan recollected the slightly damaged Ancient Demon Puppet, immediately stepping into the seventh tomb.
It only took three breaths for Ning Fan to break the seventh tomb.
Another three breaths, and Ning Fan broke through the eighth tomb as well.
The ninth tomb, the tenth tomb, the eleventh tomb...
All the way to the twenty-third tomb, Ning Fan spent only three breaths breaking through each Tomb Palace.
Before the twenty-third tomb, the highest cultivation among the dead spirits was merely at the Peak Crossing Truth Realm, none able to survive the attacks of the five Rain Immortal Swords.
Within the twenty-fourth tomb, the highest cultivation among the dead spirits was at the Initiate Realm of Shekong.
Arriving at this tomb, Ning Fan injected all remaining power into the five Immortal Swords for a ferocious strike!
Externally, the divine light of the twenty-fourth tomb was seen surging skyward, and the tomb door explosively shattered!
Ning Fan collected the five swords, dragging his extremely weak body step by step out of the twenty-fourth tomb, reappearing before everyone’s eyes.
The four high platforms were deathly silent, only the sound of cold breaths echoed!
This tomb competition is bound to shock the world, for Ning Fan, with just Ghost Profound Peak-Stage cultivation, managed to break through twenty-four Tomb Palaces in the second round of the competition.
According to the rules of the tomb competition, he passed through twenty-four tombs in succession, directly establishing him as first place. The third round is canceled!
"Hiss! This child is extraordinary! Extraordinary!" exclaimed Elder Luxx beside the little demoness, his gaze rocked with astonishment.
He had already stepped halfway into the Shedding Void Stage, yet facing Ning Fan at this moment, he felt an unbeatable aura!
"He is naturally extraordinary, after all, he is Little Fan Fan." The little demoness smiled, her mood brightened.
"Little Rong Rong, look! My Love Sage Big Brother has passed the twenty-fourth tomb, he got first place!" Li Xiaoxiao said excitedly to Yan Rong.
At this moment, Ning Fan, though having put away the five Rain Immortal Swords and re-sealed the Rain Yin Yang power, still exuded an aura strong enough to suppress countless old monsters present.
Among the Fate Immortals, no one could rival Ning Fan’s aura.
In the Enlightenment realm, no one could rival Ning Fan’s aura at this moment either.
Even some Shedding Void Realm old monsters felt a hint of oppression under Ning Fan’s aura.
Like Chen Xuan, despite his grand Shedding Void Stage level, felt his breath become short in Ning Fan’s presence.
Also, Elder Yan, who presided over the tomb competition, felt a nameless palpitation when facing Ning Fan at this moment.
It was as if if Ning Fan unleashed his full power, capturing her would only be a matter of moments.
This feeling was too absurd yet too real, causing Elder Yan’s breath to become chaotic for no reason.
She steadied her breath, gradually calmed down, and only then remembered that she still had the task of hosting the tomb competition.
"I, as the elder, announce that due to Ning Fan from the Luo Family passing the twenty-fourth tomb, the third round of the tomb competition is canceled! The first place of this tomb competition goes to Ning Fan! The rankings of other tomb keepers will be determined based on the results of the first two rounds!"
As Elder Yan finished speaking, countless eyes from the tomb keepers turned to Ning Fan, filled with envy and awe.
On the high platform to the north, the Great Elder of the Godly Void Pavilion slowly stood up, giving Ning Fan a deep look.
Just as he was about to declare Ning Fan first and award him the prize for being first in the tomb competition, Lei Jinshi spoke first, shattering the atmosphere of the entire Copper Platform Venue.
"He has no right to claim first place! How dare a mere ant kill my old lightning spirit... courting death!"
Lei Jinshi’s eyes were blood-red, having lost all reason!
His painstakingly cultivated Innate Thunder Spirit was killed by Ning Fan, leaving him unable to remain calm!
His intention was to cultivate the thunder spirit to the Shattered Thought realm before devouring it, at which time he even hoped to step into the Shattered Thought Peak realm!
However, this plan vanished in the moment Ning Fan beheaded the thunder spirit!
His dream of stepping into the Shattered Thought Peak was shattered at this moment!
He had no reason left, only an overwhelming desire to kill Ning Fan.
Lei Jinshi took a step forward, conjured countless green lightning with a wave of his hand, and instantly reached for Ning Fan.
This grab contained all of his Taoist energy from the later stage of Shattered Thought, and a strike filled with anger erupted, catching even the elders beside him off guard.
Thousands of giant shadows of green thunder dragons suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.
A sense of crisis emerged in Ning Fan’s heart instantly.
"Not good!" Luo Shix’s expression changed drastically, and his Daoist thoughts surged in an attempt to block Lei Jinshi’s attack.
But before he could act, a cold snort had already rung out.
In the moment this cold snort sounded, all the thunder dragons in the world let out a miserable cry and shattered.
A vicious plague technique spread suddenly!
Lei Jinshi looked on in shock, smelling a touch of pear blossom fragrance. Before he could react, his lips turned purple, he suddenly spat white foam, and collapsed to the ground!
Plague poison invaded his body, instantly causing his Spirit to dissolve into pus and blood!
Terror filled Lei Jinshi’s eyes; he recognized the one who acted!
"Plague King... Lv Wen... why, why did you strike at Lei... Why stop me... from killing a junior..."
Lei Jinshi spoke, trembling all over, unable to remain calm in front of Lv Wen... Lv Wen was a remorseless killer in the Godly Void Pavilion! Due to his status as a member of the secret clans, even the Shenhao Twin Emperors didn’t dare to question his crimes!
If Lv Wen wanted to kill him here, he had no power to resist and he would surely die, with no one stepping in to save him!
"Why?"
Lv Wen slowly stood up, coldly sneering, "Lv kills without needing a reason! Die!"
At the moment the word "die" fell, Lei Jinshi’s face distorted from extreme fear.
His Spirit was, in that instant, devoured alive by countless plague poisons that penetrated his body, leaving him powerless to resist...(To be continued.
