Grasping the Evil-Chapter 861: Reverse Infant, One Less!
Black Marsh Great Swamp, hordes of Barbarian Beasts had long returned to their nests.
Ning Fan flew over the swamp, activating the Ice Rain Technique, and his spirit sense spread far and wide along with the rain curtain.
Soon, Ning Fan found the Barbarian Beast that had devoured the monster infant and immediately flashed towards the beast’s lair.
The Barbarian Beast only had a cultivation at the Initial Stage of Crossing Truth and was deeply asleep. Suddenly sensing a formidable enemy’s arrival, it opened its beast eyes and rushed out of the nest, glaring malevolently at Ning Fan, and let out a roar towards the sky.
The roar wasn’t loud, yet somehow it traveled far, and any Barbarian Beast that heard it seemed compelled to rush over.
The scene was just like when a mortal emperor was in trouble, and his vassals responded eagerly to his aid...
Ning Fan’s eyes shone with azure light as he glanced at the Barbarian Beast in front of him.
It was a half-fish, half-dragon Purple Scale Barbarian Beast, with the monster infant still inside it, yet to be completely refined and absorbed.
At the beast’s swollen neck, a tiny head had grown, perhaps as it refined the monster infant, it could possess a second head.
"This beast is clearly not the leader of the Barbarian Beasts here, yet a single roar can draw all the beasts to its aid. Could it be because of that monster infant..."
"Any Barbarian Beast that devours a monster infant can make other beasts submit..."
"Inside that monster infant, there seems to be a trace of Calamity Blood’s aura..."
Ning Fan tapped his toe, and with a flash of golden light, disappeared without a trace. In the next instant, he appeared on the massive head of the Barbarian Beast, and without a word, punched down.
Though not using any Divine Skills, with Ning Fan’s Heavenly Demon Physical Body at the First Nirvana Pinnacle, a single punch could grievously injure this beast.
Despite its thick scales, they could not withstand Ning Fan’s punch, and half of its head was blasted away.
The Purple Scale Barbarian Beast let out a miserable cry, on the verge of falling.
Yet, in that moment of impending doom, the beast’s body suddenly turned into a mire.
At the same time, above the swamp, the mud reformed, taking on the shape of the Purple Scale Barbarian Beast, resurrected anew.
The head, which had been blasted apart by Ning Fan, was successfully reshaped in this breaking and reconstitution, though slightly smaller than before.
"Clearly already on the brink of death, yet it can still revive..." Ning Fan’s gaze narrowed.
He realized, this beast’s mud resurrection ability seemed to use a power similar to Calamity Thought...
This power appeared to be a self-preservation ability given to the beast by the monster infant inside it.
In the distance, countless Barbarian Beast auras were rushing towards them, among them several Shedding Void Stage beasts.
Ning Fan, although having slain a Shekong Thunder Spirit before, did not arrogantly believe he could stand undefeated against several Shedding Void Barbarian Beasts.
Thus, only by swiftly slaying this beast before those formidable beasts could arrive, could he prevail!
1,200 strands of Life-bound Battle Fire burned within Ning Fan, and the Second Change of the War Technique was activated at that moment.
The cultivation of the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor surged at this moment, soaring to the realm of the Third Nirvana of Heavenly Demon, a momentum comparable to the Late Stage Enlightenment, exploded from Ning Fan.
With a flick of his finger, beams of black and red light shot out instantly, piercing through the Purple Scale Barbarian Beast’s body, dealing mortal wounds persistently.
Every time it was on the brink of death, the Purple Scale Barbarian Beast turned into a mire, though it could continually revive, its aura grew weaker with each resurrection.
Furthermore, the beast did not notice that with each Barbarian Flash from Ning Fan, a formation pattern powered by Calamity Thought was being laid inside it.
In the past, Ning Fan could not lay formations with Calamity Thought, but now, having comprehended the Momentum Character Secret, his understanding of the Dao of formations had reached a new level, forming formations as easily as breathing.
As more and more formation patterns accumulated within the Purple Scale Barbarian Beast, Ning Fan finally formed a spirit sense and coldly commanded, "Collapse!"
In an instant, the beast’s surface was covered with countless formation patterns, and all its Divine Skills were sealed by the formation.
Ning Fan once again punched, destroying the beast’s head, and it finally let out a deathly scream as it perished, unable to turn into a mire to avoid calamity anymore...
Roar!!!
As Ning Fan slew the Purple Scale Barbarian Beast, the distant beast horde seemed to sense it and roared skyward, projecting countless killing intents towards Ning Fan.
Ning Fan tore apart the beast’s body, ripping it to pieces, and extracted the two-headed monster infant from within.
With just a cursory glance, Ning Fan realized within this monster infant lay a strand of false Calamity Blood’s power...
Though false Calamity Blood, devouring this infant would likely slightly enhance the Calamity Blood within himself.
Without immediately devouring the infant, Ning Fan placed it in his storage pouch, his figure flickered, and he flew away into the distance.
No matter where he fled, no matter if he concealed his presence, the beast horde seemed always able to accurately pinpoint his position.
"Are they perceiving my location based on this monster infant..."
Ning Fan suddenly halted, no longer fleeing, as his earlier escape was only to confirm that these beasts had the ability to track the monster infant.
He abruptly turned back, charging towards the bloodthirsty Barbarian Beasts, each punch causing an Initial Stage Enlightenment beast to fall.
Even a Mid Stage Enlightenment beast was sent flying with grievous injuries after being struck by Ning Fan’s punch.
After slaughtering seven or eight Initial Stage Enlightenment beasts, Late Stage Enlightenment beasts surrounded him.
With more and more beasts, Ning Fan finally unleashed the Rain Yin-Yang Force, pulling out a Soul Extraction from the earth and swallowing it.
His momentum soared immediately, and with Dual Cultivation of Mana, his strength nearly rivaled that of a Shekong Cultivator.
The Rain’s Five Swords were summoned by Ning Fan, the five Immortal Swords suspended in the sky, heavy rain poured fiercely.
Below Shekong level, no beast could last a round under the Five Swords.
Constant wailing of beasts echoed as they fell, corpses littered the Black Marsh Great Swamp, filled with filthy blood.
At this moment, Ning Fan unleashed his full power; by the time the Seven-Headed Shedding Void Beasts arrived, no other beasts survived!
"Different race! Surrender the Wang Ying!" the Seven-Headed Shedding Void Beasts roared angrily.
"Wang Ying... The Beast Bearing Infant is the king of the beasts..."
Ning Fan seemed in realization, but naturally, he couldn’t return the monster infant to the beasts.
With a fierce spirit sense, the rain merged into the Five Swords, transforming into millions of Immortal Sword shadows slashing down at the seven beasts.
The seven beasts weren’t weak, each unleashing a Barbarian Flash, directly shattering the million sword shadows, though one Initial Realm Shekong beast sustained slight injuries under the sword rain attack.
With this test, Ning Fan immediately knew he was not the opponent of these seven beasts and ceased the offensive.
After the battle, the bottleneck of Ning Fan’s Third Change of the War Technique had loosened, and with the monster infant in hand, it was time to return and retreat into secluded cultivation diligently.
Raising his hand to withdraw the Rain’s Five Swords, Ning Fan swiftly performed a series of intricate gestures, and purple mist filled the air in an instant.
As the purple mist emerged, Ning Fan took out the monster infant, wielding his fingers like a sword to slice the infant into two, leading to its demise, and swallowed the remnant infant, gradually refining the false Calamity Blood within.
With the monster infant’s death, the Seven-Headed Shedding Void Beasts immediately lost their perception of Ning Fan.
The purple mist concealed Ning Fan’s trail, the heavy rain washed away Ning Fan’s aura... Realizing the demise of Wang Ying, the seven Shedding Void Beasts howled skyward, wishing to kill Ning Fan swiftly.
Yet as the purple mist dispersed, no trace of Ning Fan remained...
"Damn it! We retrieved Wang Ying once, only for it to die again, at the hands of a different race!"
"How can we uphold the agreement between our race and the demon race now that a Wang Ying is missing!"
In the fury and rage of the seven beasts, within the Northern Territory of the Barbarian Wilderness Ancient Domain, within the domains of the seven Great Demons, a roar of anger soared into the skies!
"Damn it! As the grand occasion approaches, a Reverse Infant is missing! Who dares to kill the Reverse Infant planted by this Elder!"
As the roar erupted, a great power of the demon race immediately flew into the snowy sky.
The person was an elder with purple hair and dragon horns, exuding the powerful aura of the Eternal Immortal Venerable!
With a change in the elder’s spirit sense, seven Shekong Barbarian Beasts far in the distance, which were just pursuing Ning Fan, let out a wretched cry and perished immediately.
And within the elder’s divine sense, seven messages instantly appeared.
The killer of the Reverse Infant turned out to be a Four Heavens Cultivator with a ghostly silver face!
"You killed my Reverse Infant and expect to escape. Do you really think it’s that easy in this world? You won’t get away!"
The purple-haired elder sneered incessantly, his smile very sinister as he shrank his figure, merged into the world, and vanished.
When he reappeared, he had directly traversed half of the Barbarian Domain!
His movement technique was extremely fast, and with his cultivation speed at full power, he could directly fly, needing only a hundred breaths to cross several Barbarian Domains, heading to Black Marsh Great Swamp!
At this moment, Ning Fan, who had shaken off the pursuit of the seven Shekong Barbarian Beasts, suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
With a flash of azure spike in his eyes, Ning Fan immediately sensed a presence comparable to the Eternal Immortal Venerable, rushing toward Black Marsh Great Swamp from the far north!
"Killing that Strange Infant actually attracted an Eternal Immortal Venerable!"
Ning Fan was startled in his heart but did not panic. With a tap of his toes, three blood forces boiled, transforming instantly into a golden spear, heading straight for the ancient forest.
With the Vertical Golden Light at full speed, within just a few breaths, Ning Fan returned to the ancient forest.
Explaining only briefly, he directly activated the Yin Yang Locket power to take Liu Yan and Little Qianqian into the Xuan Yin Treasure.
Liu Yan was taken into the Xuan Yin Treasure, but Little Qianqian unexpectedly could not be taken...
"Eh? You want to take me into the realm treasure? Little Qianqian said, during my Thunder Body Evolution, I cannot enter any realm treasure space..." Little Qianqian said innocently.
"Cannot enter the realm treasure space..."
Ning Fan frowned, directly carried Little Qianqian on his shoulder, created a golden spear, and within just a few breaths, escaped this Barbarian Domain.
When the elder arrived at Black Marsh Great Swamp, Ning Fan had already fled several Barbarian Domains away.
"Hmph! Quick to escape! But you won’t get away!"
The purple-haired elder captured Ning Fan’s residual infant signal, just about to chase when suddenly his gaze sank.
Above Black Marsh Great Swamp, a crack in space appeared, and two figures emerged, a man and a woman, each possessing the power of the Eternal Immortal Venerable!
"Liuhe Immortal Lord, Miaoyan Immortal Honorific..."
Upon seeing the two Human Clan Immortal Honorifics before him, the purple-haired elder’s expression immediately turned severe, deeply cautious.
Liuhe Immortal Lord was a middle-aged man, wearing an imperial crown, surrounded by majestic kingly aura, with an overwhelming air of sweeping through the world’s six harmonies.
He looked at the purple-haired elder with a cold gaze, not speaking, yet giving the elder immense pressure.
The other female Immortal Honorific, named Miaoyan, was veiled lightly, her aura slightly weaker than both the elder and Liuhe Immortal Lord.
Seeing the cautious appearance of the elder, Miaoyan Immortal Honorific laughed coquettishly, seductive, "I thought which Demon Race Immortal Honorific was causing such fear and commotion throughout the Barbarian Wilderness Ancient Domain... Turns out it’s you, Dulongzi, friend of the True Dragon Race... So, are you planning to fight your way into our gods’ Five Domains? Giggle, if that’s the case, I cannot not stop you."
"Damn it, just a step away from catching that junior and retrieving the residual infant power, yet thwarted by these two..."
The purple-haired elder reluctantly glanced in Ning Fan’s fleeing direction, his expression extremely grim.
After a moment of silence, he finally snorted coldly, merged into the world, and returned north.
"Dulongzi... He came imposing, what is his goal..." Liuhe Immortal Lord frowned, looking in the direction the elder earlier gazed.
Unfortunately, he could not sense the residual infant power and naturally did not know which way Ning Fan escaped. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
"Unknown... Lately, I’ve had a sense of unease, as if something major is about to happen in the Barbarian Wilderness Ancient Domain..." Miaoyan Immortal Honorific said with a knitted brow.
"I have felt the same... Could it be the Demon Race is preparing to initiate the next realm war... If so, this matter must be reported to Black Devil Sect for precaution..."
"Let’s follow Liuhe Ally’s proposal, when we return, we shall each report this matter to Black Devil Sect."
...
Several Barbarian Domains away, sensing that the aura of the Eternal Immortal Venerable had departed, Ning Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
His intention was to flee towards the Four Heavens Cultivators’ camp, triggering the Four Heavens Immortal Venerables stationed in the Barbarian Domains to act, which seemed to have been achieved now.
"After I killed the Strange Infant, those Barbarian Beasts could no longer sense my whereabouts. But that Eternal Immortal Venerable from the north could sense the residual infant within me; only by completely refining this infant can I block his perception..."
"The Immortal Venerable from the Northern Territory should be a Demon Race Immortal Honorific..."
"What significant meaning does this Strange Infant have to provoke a Demon Race Eternal Immortal Venerable to act... This matter seems not simple..."
Ning Fan returned all the way to the Gouchen Barbarian Domain occupied by the Divine Clan, back to Mulan City.
Once entering Mulan City, Ning Fan released Liu Yan, instructed Little Qianqian to stay with Liu Yan, and immediately went into seclusion to refine the residual infant.
In just half a day, the residual infant was completely refined by Ning Fan, absorbing the residual infant’s false calamity blood power, greatly increasing his Jie Xue Zhi Li.
Not only did his calamity blood power increase significantly, but for some reason, after refining the infant, a trace of power close to the Dao’s source appeared inside Ning Fan.
Upon absorbing this power, Ning Fan’s cultivation progress in War Yin and Yang immediately increased by one percent!
"What exactly is this Strange Infant!" Ning Fan’s eyes showed a hint of awe.
...
In the Northern Barbarian Wilderness, Dusk Snow Barbarian Territory.
In a certain Demonified City, the purple-haired elder’s face was as dark as iron, an invisible killing intent continuously emanating from his body.
One Reverse Infant gone... At such a crucial moment, losing one Reverse Infant is extremely hard to replenish...
"Damn it! Because of this Reverse Infant’s demise, the plan will be delayed by at least ten years to be executed... If the Immemorial Dragon Race finds out about my incompetence, he will surely hold me accountable! But thankfully, only one Reverse Infant was lost, and it was merely the weakest one. If more were lost... the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"Ghostly silver hair... ghostly silver hair... That brat, so hateful!"
"Where are the Dragon Guards!"
In the grand hall, the purple-haired elder coldly commanded to the empty space, and immediately, seventy-two dragon horn demonesses in purple-gold armor appeared, kneeling before the elder.
"Dragon Guards are here, ready to serve the ancestor’s bidding!"
The cultivation of these seventy-two people was at least the Late Stage Enlightenment, with the highest reaching the Peak of Shekong!
These seventy-two were the well-known Poison Dragon Guards of the True Dragon Race, heroes of the previous realm war, each having accomplished great military achievements, becoming Dragon Guards!
"I order you to infiltrate the Divine Clan’s Five Domains and assassinate this person to appease my anger! Are you... willing!"
The purple-haired elder pointed, and instantly a ghostly silver-haired man’s image appeared in the air.
The seventy-two Dragon Guards merely glanced at the image, revealing their murderous intent, with no one showing fear.
As long as no Demon Race Immortal Honorific took action, the gods’ Immortal Honorific would not move either.
With their strength, infiltrating the Divine Clan’s Barbarian Domains posed little risk. Why hesitate!
"Willing to serve the ancestor!"
"Good! Go now! I’ll await your good news here!"
"Yes!"
