Grasping the Evil-Chapter 846: Dark Clan? Nothing but Ants!

Without any explanation, Shenkong Emperor was disdainful to give Ning Fan any explanation, directly releasing imperial spirit to suppress Ning Fan.

All sounds between heaven and earth vanished in that instant, an invisible oppressive feeling suddenly crashed onto Ning Fan.

Ning Fan’s gaze changed, at that moment, he felt an intention, an intention from the stars! As if the starry sky of the entire Dongming Star Domain was pressing down on him!

Several million cultivators were merely affected by the pressure of this imperial spirit, and their breath halted, their faces greatly shocked.

Even someone like Lv Wen, an Immortal King, looked toward Shenkong Emperor’s direction, deeply astonished.

The pressure was too strong, the Eighth Calamity of the Eternals’ Celestial Emperor pressure, is it something that ordinary cultivators can contend with!

At the center of the pressure, Ning Fan was immediately hit hard, coughing up blood while retreating continuously.

Even at his full strength, he could not directly contend with the Emperor’s pressure of the Eighth Tribulation. At this moment, deeply injured, stunned by the pressure, his internal injuries immediately showed signs of worsening!

A cold hum from Shenkong Emperor, transformed into tens of thousands of heavy thunderstorms, constantly detonating within Ning Fan’s divine sense.

Their sound echoed in Ning Fan’s ear for a long time, each echo adding countless heavy injuries to Ning Fan’s wounds.

Your request, this Emperor does not allow!

This Emperor does not allow!!

Does not allow!!!

Pfft—

Ning Fan once again spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, consciousness dimmed, almost was about to faint under this pressure.

Luo Shix, Lv Wen, little demoness, Li Xiaoxiao... every cultivator with a little friendship with Ning Fan suddenly stood up, and towards Shenkong Emperor’s direction, pleaded, "Emperor, show mercy!"

"Humph! This Emperor has already shown mercy, otherwise, this child would be dead!" Within the seven-colored light glow, Shenkong Emperor gave a cold hum, not removed pressure, instead intensified pressure once again, allowing the form of invisible pressure to transform into a tangible seven-colored hue!

This behavior is punishment, punishing Ning Fan for coveting the heart of the sacrificial offering!

With the intensification of pressure, the center of the scene immediately was shrouded in tangible seven-colored imperial pressure, outsiders simply couldn’t see what was happening within.

Seven-colored imperial pressure came upon him, Ning Fan seemed like a leaf in the wind, with always the risk of drifting to fall and perish.

His complexion no longer showed a hint of color, but his gaze, increasingly cold, without any fear.

Clenching teeth, stubborn bones... under this seven-colored imperial pressure, Ning Fan yet raised his head.

Endless boundless seven-colored imperial pressure, cut off his line of sight, letting him unable to see through everything ahead.

He seemed like a piece of humble soil, Shenkong Emperor seemed like the high and mighty stars. Great differences in status, but in Ning Fan’s eyes, there was no fear, only anger!

Originally retreating body, halted in place by his gritted teeth at this moment.

His white robe stained with blood, dark hair wildly dancing in the wind, raising hand, harshly wiping on the face, immediately, a hideously terrifying silver ghost mask, appeared!

Full head of dark hair, at this moment, transformed into silver threads, evil qi gathered in the eyes, transformed into bleeding-like pupil color.

Summoning the ghost mask instantly, the previously body-suppressing mountain-like pressure, immediately weakened by more than fifty percent.

Ning Fan took a step forward, stared angrily at the galaxies, eyes flickering azure spike light, as if with unity with heaven and earth.

Heaven and earth’s great dao principles, seemed to echo in conjunction with him, evil qi in his eyes, seemed sufficient to overturn the skies.

Borrowing the might of the ghost mask, borrowing the fusion with heaven and earth’s great dao principles, Ning Fan actually resisted Shenkong Emperor’s pressure.

His gaze, pierced through the seven-colored imperial pressure, clearly seeing the shocked face beneath Shenkong Emperor’s seven-colored divine glow!

This was Ning Fan’s first time, forcibly seeing through the visage of a Celestial Emperor!

"Is this the way Godly Void Pavilion conducts itself! Refusing Ning Fan’s request, breaking trust first; dignified Celestial Emperor’s respect, oppressing the juniors later... oh what a Godly Void Pavilion! Oh what a Shenkong Emperor! It’s just a pity, even if you a respectful Celestial Emperor, you can’t think to suppress me with pressure! Rain of heavens and earth, heed my command, for this respect, reverse!"

A word ’reverse’ shouted out, Ning Fan’s brow’s star flashed at the same time, at this moment, his voice too carried an intention, applying onto the rain mist between heaven and earth!

Heaven and earth’s rain and mist, all fused into his voice, went against the sky and rose, voice integrated with the sky, long-lasting and not dissipating.

In the starry sky, Ning Fan’s voice echoed, every cultivator hearing this voice, all spirit sense trembled.

The seven-colored pressure suppressing Ning Fan’s body, together with the sweep of rain intent, suddenly with a boom, completely collapsed!

Emperor’s might, shattered!

Amidst the scattered seven-colored divine glow, Ning Fan put away the ghost mask, angrily raised his head, coldly watched the high and above Shenkong Emperor.

Silence! Four sides of high platforms fell into dead silence! Only sound of inhaling cold air echoed.

Except for Shenhao Twin Emperors, no one’s gaze here could see through the seven-colored imperial pressure, see what previously transpired inside the imperial pressure.

Outsiders had no idea how Ning Fan, with his mysterious ghostly form, managed to shatter the imperial power of a dignified Eight Tribulations Celestial Emperor.

Yet witnessing the collapse of the seven-colored imperial power with their own eyes, how could they not be astonished!

Even Lv Wen was utterly shocked, his jaw dropping as if it might fall to the ground.

Lv Wen absolutely believed he had the highest estimation of Ning Fan’s strength in this place. In his eyes, Ning Fan was merely an Immortal King with hidden strength.

But even so, Lv Wen couldn’t fathom that Ning Fan, even as an Immortal King, could outright shatter the imperial might of the Eight Tribulations Celestial Emperor!

"Could it be that Ning Fan’s true strength is still underestimated by me? Is he not an Immortal King but... an Immortal Emperor?!"

"Indeed, it can only be explained this way; only then could he shatter the imperial might of the Eight Tribulations Great Emperor!"

The more Lv Wen thought, the higher he overestimated Ning Fan’s abilities.

Only Ning Fan himself understood that his ability to shatter the divine might of the Shenkong Emperor head-on came from exploiting interstices.

The Innate Ghost Mask helped him withstand fifty percent of the Shenkong Emperor’s imperial might, while the Unity of Heaven and Man helped him withstand the remainder.

The Innate Ghost Mask is a treasure hard to come by even for Celestial Emperors, while Unity of Heaven and Man is a great divine power that the Shenkong Emperor is unable to comprehend; without these two advantages, Ning Fan could not have endured the Shenkong Emperor’s might.

Having grasped the Rain Yin Yang, Ning Fan borrowed a trace of power from the Rain Dao Principle, using it to strike along the pathways of the Shenkong Emperor’s imperial might and shatter it.

Rain Yin Yang contained a trace of Palm Position Power, a force that only a Palm Position Immortal Emperor could command. Even the Shenkong Emperor could not cultivate this Palm Position Power.

Without the Palm Position Power provided by Rain Yin Yang, even if Ning Fan could endure the seven-colored imperial power, he couldn’t wield the rain of heaven and earth to retaliate, nor shatter the seven-colored imperial might.

To shatter the seven-colored imperial might, all three trump cards were indispensable.

Furthermore, Ning Fan’s ability to shatter the Shenkong Emperor’s seven-colored imperial might hinged on another crucial factor: the current Shenkong Emperor was far from his peak state, his physical body destroyed, only able to manifest a humanoid form with his divine spirit here.

This severe injury greatly reduced Shenkong Emperor’s imperial might to less than thirty percent of its peak strength, giving Ning Fan the chance to shatter it...

No matter what, Ning Fan ultimately shattered the Shenkong Emperor’s imperial might; this was a fact, one the Shenkong Emperor did not wish to accept, yet could not deny!

The Shenkong Emperor and Emperor Xukong were both Immortal Emperors, their gaze enough to piece through the seven-colored imperial power and witness everything Ning Fan achieved.

Emperor Xukong, at this moment, was deeply moved, silently astonished by the three trump cards Ning Fan revealed, each leaving him in awe.

"Innate Ghost Mask... Unity of Heaven and Man... even a trace of Palm Position Power! This boy, merely a Guixuan level, possesses such terrifying three trump cards! His ability to shatter the seven-colored imperial might with Guixuan cultivation is no mere fluke!" Emperor Xukong thought to himself.

At this moment, Shenkong Emperor remained silent, equally stunned within, yet harboring more jealousy and anger.

Angry that a mere Guixuan junior dared retaliate against him, shattering his seven-colored imperial might.

Jealous that Ning Fan owned all three treasures, each one he desired but did not have, yet even if he took action to seize them, they were unreachable!

The Second Stage Spirit Equipment, once recognized by its master, cannot be taken; Unity of Heaven and Man depends entirely on personal enlightenment, impossible to seize; Palm Position Power requires self-cultivation and cannot be obtained externally...

The only shortcut to cultivating Palm Position Power is to absorb the Palm Position Dao Fruit of a deceased Palm Position Great Emperor...

Unfortunately, the probability of forming a Palm Position Dao Fruit is extremely low which makes it, even if Ning Fan is not a Palm Position Immortal Emperor, impossible to obtain by killing him...

"This emperor’s much-coveted possessions, this boy possesses them all!" For the first time in his life, the dignified Shenkong Emperor, an Eight Tribulations Great Emperor, felt jealousy toward a Guixuan junior...

After shattering the Shenkong Emperor’s seven-colored imperial might, Ning Fan’s anger slightly dissipated, his gaze regaining a hint of calmness.

His gaze shifted from the Shenkong Emperor to Emperor Xukong, slightly bowing his fists in respect to Emperor Xukong, asking with neither arrogance nor servility,

"May I ask, Emperor, having obtained the first in the tomb comparison, according to the regulations, should the Godly Void Pavilion not grant me one request?"

"Yes, as long as your request is not excessive, our Godly Void Pavilion will agree, but your request indeed is somewhat excessive..." Emperor Xukong sighed lightly, his tone unexpectedly courteous.

Given his status, it was naturally impossible for him to be courteous to a Guixuan junior, but Ning Fan was different, exposing numerous trump cards and formidable potential that he could not overlook.

"I don’t know why my request is excessive, please clarify, Emperor!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xukong sighed gently without directly answering, only flicking his finger towards Ning Fan, whereupon a jade scroll instantly transformed into a stream of light and flew straight towards Ning Fan.

Ning Fan caught the jade scroll, scanned it with his spirit sense, and immediately his expression turned ashen.

This jade scroll recorded a major event, an event that occurred a few years ago.

Just a few years ago, a messenger from the Dark Clan suddenly came to the Godly Void Pavilion, summoned the Godly Void Pavilion, demanding the repair of the Eastern Ocean Bell within a millennium, and the reopening of the Bell Sacrifice!

At the same time, they specifically named the little demoness as the sacrifice for the next Bell Sacrifice, demanding her spirit be used to refine liquor, not allowing any substitute.

This jade scroll even detailed the reason the Dark Clan demanded the little demoness’s Spirit Soul Liquor!

There was only one reason... because she belonged to the Xiao Family, the female cultivator with the purest Xiao family bloodline!

Bang!

Ning Fan’s eyes burned with a hidden anger as he shattered the jade scroll.

The Dark Clan repeatedly targeted the Xiao Family’s female cultivators; he didn’t know the reason!

The only thing he knew was that the moment he learned of these deeds, a hint of murderous intent towards the unfamiliar Dark Clan arose in his heart!

The Godly Void Pavilion was unwilling to agree to his request, and the reason was already known to him.

Yet none of this altered his determination to rescue the little demoness!

He no longer intended to request the Godly Void Pavilion to remove the name of the little demoness from the sacrificial list... This request was not thorough enough!

Given the Godly Void Pavilion’s attitude of fearing the Dark Clan like a tiger, even if they removed her name today, tomorrow the Dark Clan could demand her as a sacrifice...

He would never allow such a thing to happen!

"Young friend, you should make another request. This request, my Godly Void Pavilion cannot agree to." Emperor Xukong gently sighed, advising.

"Fine! I was indeed planning to make another request," Ning Fan took a deep breath, his gaze suddenly turned towards the seat of the little demoness and he spoke loudly,

"My original request was to remove her name from the Godly Void sacrificial list, but now I’ve changed my mind... I want to take her away; from today onward, she will be my Ning Fan’s woman, no longer the Divine Void Young Master, nor the Godly Void sacrificial offering! No one can touch her! This is my request; please, grant it Twin Emperors!"

Hiss!

Countless sounds of sucking in cold air immediately emerged from the four surrounding high platforms.

Only a few old monsters knew of the Divine Void Young Master’s sacrificial status, but most old monsters were shocked upon first hearing Ning Fan’s words, shocked that the dignified Divine Void Young Master would be a Bell Sacrifice offering.

Moreover, many informed old monsters were deeply shaken by Ning Fan’s audacity.

He dared to ask the Godly Void Pavilion for an offering, and the offering he asked for was one that the Dark Clan had just singled out!

"His request... is actually for me!" The little demoness’s heart trembled, an infinite number of ripples reverberating, completely unable to stay calm.

She had long faintly perceived that Ning Fan was determined to shatter Shenkong Emperor’s power and offend the Shenkong Emperor persistently due to some non-negotiable reason.

Only she never expected that the reason Ning Fan couldn’t back down was herself...

At this moment, the little demoness could no longer fake a smile, her eyes became blurry with crystalline tears streaming down, as if all the grievances and injustices of this life flowed away with the tears.

So, not everyone ignored her life and death... there was still someone who cared for her...

"Impudent! Who do you think you are, daring to contend with my Dark Clan for offerings!"

Ning Fan’s newly proposed request caused the expressions of the Shenhao Twin Emperors to darken.

But before the Twin Emperors could speak, a voice of fury descended from the sky!

The speaker was an old man in black armor, shrouded in seven-colored radiance, with eyes flashing an eerie black light, treading upon nine layers of dark clouds!

The moment this person appeared, the faces of Shenhao Twin Emperors drastically changed, and many old monsters here recognized his background, unable to comprehend their tremor.

"Nine layers of dark clouds! He is the Great Emperor of the Dark Clan!"

"The Dark Clan! One of the ten great secret clans! Why has the Dark Clan’s Great Emperor come here!"

Ning Fan’s eyes suddenly became sharp; the visitor was actually the Great Emperor of the Dark Clan, an Immortal Emperor of the Eternal Sixth Calamity!

The Dark Clan’s Great Emperor sneered, raising a finger, the finger akin to a black sun, directly pointing at Ning Fan!

As the finger descended, a black sun shadow appeared between heaven and earth, carrying an eerie black glow that could devour all cultivations and divine skills.

This finger clearly belonged to one of the Dark Clan’s secret techniques... Hei Yao Finger!

This finger harbored murderous intent! The Dark Clan’s Great Emperor swore to kill Ning Fan here and now!

Because Ning Fan had audaciously coveted the Dark Clan’s offering!

Shenkong Emperor’s expression darkened; though displeased with the Dark Clan’s sudden arrival and outburst, he had no intention of intervening.

Emperor Xukong’s face changed; he immediately raised his hand, intending to help Ning Fan, but after some hesitation, he lowered it, not daring to offend the Dark Clan.

Li Xiaoxiao, startled, immediately leaped onto the seat, took out a life-saving jade pendant, about to shatter it to aid Ning Fan.

It was an item given by Emperor Zhangjie to preserve her life; at this moment, she was entirely willing to use it!

The little demoness’ face turned pale, ashen. In the instant the Dark Clan’s Great Emperor lashed out against Ning Fan, her heart ached indescribably...

Lv Wen and Luo Shix abruptly stood up, trying to assist Ning Fan, but under the pressure of the Dark Emperor, they were forced to retreat.

On Shenkong Star, Xiang Mingzi, clearing fallen leaves, suddenly raised his head, his usually calm face showing anger.

"Dark Clan again! Do they think our Godly Void is void, easy to bully!"

```

He took a step forward, intending to rescue Ning Fan, but in the end, he stayed where he was.

It wasn’t that he feared the Dark Clan, but because another change occurred on Ning Fan!

Ning Fan looked at that Dark Clan Great Emperor, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger.

His anger lay in the Dark Clan’s overbearing actions.

His unwillingness stemmed from being too weak, utterly powerless before the Dark Clan Great Emperor.

"Young one, remember! Not everyone can meddle with the Dark Clan’s sacrifices! Not even Senluo, and certainly not you! This finger is your lesson from me!"

The Dark Clan Great Emperor sneered disdainfully, his black finger descended, bringing with it killing intent!

At this instant, when the killing intent enveloped him, Ning Fan took out a jade pendant and crushed it...

He didn’t take out the Slaughter Emperor Jade Slip; he didn’t want to draw the Slaughter Hall into a conflict with the Dark Clan, dragging them down.

The jade pendant Ning Fan took out was something he begged from the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor.

He sought this item to use the Ancient Chaos’s might to intimidate the Shenhao Twin Emperors in a moment of need.

Now, it happened to come in handy against the Dark Clan.

With the jade pendant crushed, a momentum capable of annihilating the starry sky suddenly appeared on Ning Fan.

Beside Ning Fan, a phantom figure of an old man suddenly emerged.

Although the old man’s body was illusory, it carried an overwhelming pressure, enough to look down upon all beings across the four heavens and nine worlds!

Upon appearing, the old man immediately displayed a furious expression, his large hand grasping, causing the collapse of the starry sky, spreading its might, trembling the entire Dongming Star Domain!

The massive beams of the Hei Yao Finger, under the pressure of the collapse, shuddered violently and shattered into countless dark suns.

The collapsing momentum continued to sweep out, suddenly enveloping the Dark Clan Great Emperor.

The Dark Clan Great Emperor was suddenly startled, unable to respond, and his physical body collapsed, splattering blood across the sky.

Only his Immortal Emperor’s Divine Spirit escaped with his storage pouch, avoiding death, but was severely injured and dying, looking at the phantom old man with immense fear!

With his eyesight, he could naturally see that this phantom old man was merely a remnant thought of the emperor, not the real being.

The strength of this emperor remnant, less than one-tenth of his true self, was still stronger than any Quasi-Saint within the Dark Clan!

Who is this person! Since when did the Godly Void Pavilion have such a powerful figure! Wasn’t Xiang Mingzi the only Quasi-Saint in the Godly Void Pavilion!

"Who... who are you! How dare you destroy my body, aren’t you afraid of my Dark Clan..."

The Dark Clan Great Emperor pressed down his shock, trying to speak toughly to intimidate the phantom old man before him.

But before he finished speaking, he was met with a cold snort filled with rage and mocking laughter from the phantom old man!

"What do you count as! Dare to harm my disciple!"

This cold snort stirred an invisible sound wave, fiercely shaking the Dark Emperor’s Divine Spirit, causing him to spit blood and fly backward, powerless to resist!

"Dark Clan? Just ants! Merely the last remnants of An Yuanchen! Do you know, even your ancestor An Yuanchen, if alive, would be terrified to meet me! Let alone dare to harm even a hair on my disciple, or else death would await him!"

The phantom old man raised a finger, and suddenly four black suns’ phantoms appeared simultaneously across the sky and earth.

The four black suns shattered at the same time, transforming into four beams of finger light, fiercely striking towards the Dark Emperor’s Divine Spirit, causing his spirit to quake in horror!

"Fo... Four Extreme Black Glare! Our Dark Clan’s long-lost strongest finger technique! Who are you? How do you know this technique!"

No answer, what need for an answer!

The phantom old man’s eyes flashed with cold light, all the killing intent of a lifetime fused into this single finger.

No one shall harm his disciple; the so-called ten great secret clans are nothing!

"Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor, have mercy!"

A beam of octarine light swiftly emerged, guarding the Dark Emperor’s Divine Spirit, trying desperately to block the four beams of Black Yao Finger.

He was a Quasi-Saint, a Quasi-Saint of the Dark Clan!

Recognizing the phantom old man’s identity, his previously sinister expression was now full of terror!

Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor! Even with the combined strength of the entire Dark Clan, they dare not offend such a figure!

Even if the Ancient Chaos before him was only an illusion! The Dark Clan certainly cannot afford to offend!
