Grasping the Evil-Chapter 909: What Can You Do to Me?
What kind of person is Ning Fan, how could he allow his barbarian pattern to turn against him.
His gaze sharpened, and the calamity blood in his body was immediately mobilized, the Majestic Calamity of the Taicang filled his entire being. At this moment, his demonic nature was stronger than any demoness here!
The barbarian pattern is a divine skill of the Barbarian Clan and naturally fears the Calamity Force. Therefore, once Ning Fan activated the Calamity Blood Power, the counterattack from the barbarian pattern was forcibly suppressed almost instantaneously.
The barbarian pattern is domineering, but Ning Fan is even more domineering!
His eyes, like cold lightning, although not directed at Sang Chong, really frightened him.
Sang Chong now truly believed that Ning Fan was an Eternal Immortal Venerable and also an old monster of the demonic path, someone he absolutely could not afford to provoke.
"Senior! I, Sang Chong, really didn’t intend to investigate you! If I had known you were an Eternal Immortal Venerable, I wouldn’t dare to rashly investigate even if you beat me to death!"
"I am, after all, a confidant of Union Immortal Lord, if you want to take action against me, you should at least consult Union Immortal Lord..."
Sang Chong secretly called for help in his heart, but Ning Fan took back the coldness in his eyes and said indifferently, "Don’t let it happen again."
Since the other party mistakenly thought he was an Eternal Immortal Venerable, he didn’t mind assuming that identity.
As Ning Fan moved through the crowd, he killed three barbarian ancestors equivalent to the Immortal Venerable realm, such feats were already earth-shattering and impossible to conceal. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
If people said he wasn’t an Immortal Venerable, no one would believe it, and it would likely attract endless trouble. It would be more convenient to pretend to be an Immortal Venerable.
Seeing that Ning Fan had no intention of blaming him, Sang Chong couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing Sang Chong’s predicament, Demon Yuanzi and Jin Hua Ancestor, who had always been coldly received by Sang Chong, were overjoyed and continued to narrate Ning Fan’s illustrious achievements to Sang Chong.
For example, Ning Fan disregarded the dangers of the doors of death and insisted on entering them, saving Immortal Honorific Miaoyan.
For example, Ning Fan had a daughter named Xianxian who could summon the nearly tenth level Dark Thunder Chariot, capable of rivaling Immortal Honorific Miaoyan in strength.
For example, Ning Fan consecutively slew three barbarian ancestors equivalent to Immortal Venerable, his power was truly terrifying.
The more Sang Chong listened, the more shocked he became, unable to imagine how Ning Fan could have a daughter capable of battling an Immortal Venerable and could himself kill three Immortal Venerables!
After the shock came great joy. Now that the primitive and wild land was in calamity, having a strong person like Ning Fan present naturally provided better protection for everyone’s safety.
Half an hour later, Demon Yuanzi and others bid farewell to Ning Fan and headed to the First Peak, while Ning Fan stayed on the Third Peak.
Before Sang Chong left, Ning Fan kept Sang Chong alone, questioned him in detail with his trembling expression, and only then let him go.
To Ning Fan’s queries, Sang Chong spoke without reservation, not daring to hide anything.
Most of what Ning Fan asked was information about the collapse of the Barbarian Wilderness; not everyone was qualified to know this information. But Sang Chong believed Ning Fan had this qualification.
This day was the fifth day of the blood sacrifice to the Barbarian Wilderness. As Ning Fan just entered the Nanli Fire Formation Third Peak, his reputation had already spread throughout the continent.
More and more masters came to the Third Peak, wishing to behold Ning Fan’s demeanor, yet Ning Fan did not meet anyone.
Not far below the Third Peak was Tianman City, where most of the masters he saved went to the First Peak and Second Peak, only a few stayed on the Third Peak.
By his side were now only Xian Luoli, Liu Yan, and Zhao Die’er, and three footmen: Burying Moon, Earth Controlling Devil Star, and Tieya Daoist.
Ning Fan stood alone on the city walls of Tianman City, with a solemn expression. From Sang Chong’s mouth, Ning Fan heard many things.
For example, he heard about the use of the Heaven-Sealing Celestial Decree by Liuhe and Wonderful Speech Immortal Honorifics.
The Heaven-Sealing Celestial Decree could only seal the primitive and wild for seven days. On the eighth day, the power of the celestial decree would inevitably dissipate. At that time, the ancient passage slumbering in the Barbarian Wilderness Ancient Domain would likely be summoned by the demon race...
"The demon race schemed so many things, just for the ancient passage to the Sky Desolate Ancient Realm..."
"Ancient passage, Sky Desolate Ancient Realm..."
Ning Fan knew little of the secrets of the Sky Desolate Ancient Realm, but it wasn’t the first time he’d heard its name.
The Sky Desolate Ancient Realm was a place different from the four heavens and nine worlds, Ancient Demon Abyss, and Land of Demons. To enter this place, one must use an ancient passage. Just having a passage wasn’t enough, a key was also needed...
Ning Fan once searched through Candle Bow’s memories, learning that Candle Bow’s former master—Ancestor Dragon Zhuli died in the Sky Desolate Ancient Realm.
Ning Fan did not know what kind of place the Sky Desolate Ancient Realm was. It was the highest secret in the heavens and earth, something Ning Fan, as he was now, was not qualified to know. Nor did he intend to involve himself in such significant matters with his current cultivation.
The Barbarian Pattern on the left continuously transmitted a sense of being locked on, causing Ning Fan to momentarily gather his thoughts. He activated the Reverse Spirit Technique, carefully sensing the Barbarian Beasts locking onto his aura, his brows gradually furrowed deeply.
For some reason, the aura of the Barbarian Beasts charging wildly toward him began to gather in a certain direction.
At a Life Gate Interface far away from the Nanli Fire Formation, the Fourth Ancestor sat high on the Blood Shadow Behemoth, discussing something with the Second Ancestor. Before them, Barbarian Beasts continuously charged wildly to this location to converge. Seeing this scene, the Fourth Ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly and praised the Second Ancestor,
"The Second Ancestor truly has excellent means. These Barbarian Beasts were already bewildered by the Fifth Ancestor, yet they still heed your command. Hence, it can be seen that your mastery of the Summon Barbarian Technique must surpass that of the Fifth Ancestor."
"Haha, the Summon Barbarian Technique is merely a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Speaking of which, why did the Fifth Ancestor’s Summon Barbarian Technique only draw the two of us here, and where are the other Barbarian Ancestors?" The Second Ancestor’s cold eyes seemed to pierce through the void, licking his lips in the direction of the Nanli Fire Formation.
He continuously told himself in his heart to be patient, to wait for more Barbarian Patterns on Ning Fan before he would be even tastier.
And he had already heard from the Fourth Ancestor that there were two Human Clan Immortal Honorifics among the humans ahead. Wanting to apprehend Ning Fan in front of these two Immortal Honorifics was not an easy task. They could only wait for other Barbarian Ancestors to arrive before plotting.
"With our combined power and millions of Barbarian Beasts, we may not be able to extract any benefits from the hands of the two Human Clan Immortal Honorifics. Yet the other Barbarian Ancestors are still not showing up. Should we proactively contact the Demon Race Immortal Venerable for help..." The Fourth Ancestor suddenly suggested.
"No need! Whether it’s the Demon Race or the Human Clan, they are merely different races! Our cooperation with the Demon Race is merely mutual use. Strange is the heart of those not of our race; while our Barbarian Ancestors’ cultivations have not been restored, it’s better to have less contact with the Demon Race!"
After the Second Ancestor finished speaking, he chuckled coldly, "Wait a while longer, once another Barbarian Ancestor arrives, we’ll make our move and capture the child marked by the Summon Barbarian Technique! However, we must fatten him up before slaughtering him then. Just 46 Barbarian Patterns is still not enough! This Ancestor at least needs help for this child to break through a hundred Barbarian Patterns! If so, haha, that would be an excellent supplement..."
Ning Fan did not know that the Second Ancestor was activating his Divine Skills to gather the frenzied Barbarian Beasts.
Even though he did not know the truth, he could roughly guess that the sudden gathering of Barbarian Beasts was not a good thing.
He was initially silent in contemplation but suddenly raised his gaze toward the direction of the First Peak.
Only to see, from the direction of the First Peak, came a golden message-transmitting flying sword charging rapidly toward him!
That message-transmitting flying sword carried an aura of Immortal Venerable level. If Ning Fan hadn’t mistaken, the owner of this aura was the Liuhe Immortal Lord!
As soon as the message-transmitting flying sword reached within three zhang of Ning Fan, it trembled slightly and immediately exploded, forming waves of energy. Amidst the energy waves, a cold, indifferent male voice of a middle-aged man arrogantly sounded!
"Master Zhao Jian, come to the First Peak quickly to see me, do not be mistaken!"
The energy waves created by the exploding flying sword could easily knock back Crossing Truth Realm Masters, but certainly couldn’t harm Ning Fan in the slightest. However, the arrogant transmission message from the flying sword caused Ning Fan’s gaze to turn cold instantly, and moments later, he collected his indifferent look.
He could naturally tell that the tone of the Liuhe Immortal Lord was very unfriendly. It seemed that summoning him to the First Peak definitely wouldn’t be a good thing.
However, under the rooftop, Ning Fan now still needed to shelter under the protection of the Liuhe Immortal Lord while staying here. As long as he remained here, he had to abide by this place’s rules, adhere to its Nine Decrees and Sixteen Prohibitions.
Within the Nine Decrees and Sixteen Prohibitions, the very first decree was that non-Black Devil Sect Masters must constantly heed the dispatches of the Liuhe Immortal Lord and must be at the ready, do not be mistaken. The violation of which, kill without mercy!
Now, the Liuhe Immortal Lord had sent out a message-transmitting flying sword to summon Ning Fan, and Ning Fan had to make a trip to the First Peak, otherwise, he would be seen as violating the decree.
"You all stay here and take a slight rest, I’ll make a trip to the First Peak!"
Ning Fan instructed Xian Luoli and others with a word, then pointed with his toe and transformed directly into a golden spear, disappearing in a flash.
The distance from the Third Peak to the First Peak is quite far, but with Ning Fan’s cultivation speed, he reached the foot of the First Peak almost instantly.
He looked up and glanced at the First Peak, his gaze slightly heavy.
He saw the entire First Peak surrounded by thousands of flame symbols, spiraling upwards around the nine-thousand zhang high fire peak.
On the Second Peak and Third Peak, nothing grows, while on the First Peak, not only do many fiery red trees and plants grow, but at the peak top stands a majestic palace.
That palace is where the Liuhe Immortal Lord resides. But reaching the palace is not an easy task.
The overwhelming flame symbols connect with the entire Nanli Fire Formation; if Ning Fan were to directly fly to the peak top of the First Peak, the symbols would be triggered, causing the whole Nanli Fire Formation to attack, though this formation still has flaws, due to intruders being inside the formation, its might would definitely be enough for Immortal Venerable cultivators to daunt!
Only by climbing step by step along the stone steps up the mountain will he avoid triggering the flame symbols’ attack.
"Master Zhao Jian, quickly ascend to the peak top and see me! If you fail this task, die!"
The voice of the Liuhe Immortal Lord suddenly wafted down ethereally from the peak top of the First Peak, directly into Ning Fan’s ears.
Ning Fan’s gaze turned slightly cold; he detested being threatened more than anything else, yet the Liuhe Immortal Lord had dared to threaten him with death, violating his principles.
If he were alone, Ning Fan would have instantly turned against the Liuhe Immortal Lord due to this threat.
But unfortunately, he was accompanied by Xian Luoli, Zhao Die’er, and over a million barbarians...
For the sake of their safety, Ning Fan had no choice but to seek shelter within the formation array of the Liuhe Immortal Lord and endure this grievance.
Without saying much, he proceeded to ascend the stone steps up the mountain, one step at a time. Upon reaching a height of a thousand zhang on the First Peak, a thousand fire talismans suddenly erupted from the woodland, transforming into a massive fiery hand that aimed to grab Ning Fan.
Simultaneously, the voice of the Liuhe Immortal Lord echoed in Ning Fan’s ears.
"A thousand Nanli Fire Talismans form the Lihuo Palm Imprint, capable of killing a Peak Crossing Truth Realm. If you cannot withstand this palm, then die!"
"I refuse to believe you are the Eternal Immortal Venerable; this is a test!"
As if he hadn’t heard the Liuhe Immortal Lord’s voice, Ning Fan’s expression remained unchanged. When the fiery palm arrived, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the devastating palm whole!
Then, unfazed, he continued his ascent, as if unscathed.
He climbed continually and when he reached a height of three thousand zhang, another three thousand fire talismans soared out of the woodland, collecting into a blazing cauldron that descended from the sky, aimed to crush him.
This blow’s power was nearly enough to annihilate any Initiate Realm of Shekong Master! In this primitive and wild land filled with Banishing Immortal Force, even Demon Yuanzi, at the Shattered Thought Early Stage, might not withstand the cauldron’s suppression!
"Three thousand Nanli Fire Talismans form the Nanli Cauldron, if you cannot withstand this technique, then die!" The Liuhe Immortal Lord’s voice gradually reached him.
Ning Fan cast a cold glance at the fire cauldron; relying on the strength of his Grand Five Elements Body, he reached to the sky with five fingers, forcibly smashing the cauldron.
The broken flames of the cauldron were all swept into Ning Fan’s mouth. He continued his ascent and reached six thousand zhang.
Having advanced to a height of six thousand zhang, six thousand fire talismans suddenly materialized, forming into a voluptuous, scantily clad Flame Devil woman.
Though not a peerless beauty, the woman’s charms lay in her wet, alluring gaze. As soon as she appeared, she looked enticingly at Ning Fan, smiling flirtatiously.
Her gaze seemed capable of arousing lust in any man. This lust, known as Nanli Lust Fire, could incinerate any Abandoning-Void Middle Stage Cultivator!
"Six thousand Nanli Fire Talismans, are you capable of taking on this challenge?"
The voice of the Liuhe Immortal Lord slowly drifted over, but before it could finish, it shifted into a soft exclamation.
For Ning Fan was utterly unaffected by the Flame Devil woman’s charm, not even slightly kindling any lustful thoughts from her glance.
Ignoring the Flame Devil woman altogether, he proceeded on his way.
Seeing her inability to seduce Ning Fan, the Flame Devil woman’s face darkened with malice. With a sinister laugh, she lunged at Ning Fan, spewing a phantom sword of lust fire from her mouth to strike him down.
The sword carried the might of a Late Stage of Shekong attack. Despite HNing Fan made no move to evade it and allowed the Lustfire Sword to strike him.
Though exceedingly sharp, when it struck Ning Fan’s body, inexplicably, there was the clashing sound of gold and iron.
It was not merely physical defense that allowed Ning Fan to withstand the sword, but the constitution of his Six Desires Bone.
With the physique of Six Desires Bone and the Grand Five Elements Body, he feared neither lust nor fire. How could this sword harm him?
"Step back!"
Turning his head abruptly, Ning Fan cast a cold glance at the Flame Devil woman, emanating a dignified aura that caused the fire talismans within her to spiral out of control. With a scream, she exploded, transforming back into countless fire talismans that flew into the woodland.
Having done all this, Ning Fan continued his climb to the peak, facing no more impediments.
Atop the First Peak was but a solitary palace. Upon reaching this place, Ning Fan staggered slightly and appeared directly inside the palace.
Within the palace stood two figures, one being the Liuhe Immortal Lord, the other, the Miaoyan Immortal Honorific.
Seeing Ning Fan successfully reach this place, the Liuhe Immortal Lord’s gaze was extremely sharp, with an unexpected glint in his eyes.
While Miaoyan Immortal Honorific smiled amicably at Ning Fan, though within his smile was a faint trace of concern.
She was worried about Ning Fan’s safety. If Ning Fan encountered any danger on the path to the peak, she would definitely take action to save him, and she would never allow the Liuhe Immortal Lord to make a move against Ning Fan!
"I wonder what business the Liuhe Immortal Lord has in summoning Zhao here. If there’s nothing, I will return to the Third Peak!"
Ning Fan stood ten zhang apart from the Liuhe Immortal Lord, staring coldly at each other. Although his cultivation was far inferior to the Liuhe Immortal Lord, if it came down to a fight, the Liuhe Immortal Lord would not gain any advantage.
"Master Zhao Jian! Do you know which decree and prohibition among the Nine Decrees and Sixteen Prohibitions you have violated?" the Liuhe Immortal Lord said expressionlessly, with a natural cold arrogance in his demeanor.
Ning Fan remained silent, quietly looking at the Liuhe Immortal Lord.
Seeing Ning Fan daring to ignore his question, the Liuhe Immortal Lord finally frowned, showing displeasure.
Miaoyan Immortal Honorific slowly walked to Ning Fan’s side, standing shoulder to shoulder with him, expressing her solidarity with action, her beautiful eyes slightly cold as she said,
"Liuhe Daoist, your actions now seem different from what you said before. Didn’t you say earlier that you summoned Daoist Zhao here to seek something, so why are you repeatedly making things difficult for Daoist Zhao? This act seems a bit much!"
"Oh? Miaoyan Daoist seems to be quite protective of this junior. If he is truly an Eternal Immortal Venerable, I would naturally have requests for him. The previous tests were just to confirm his cultivation, so there’s no need for Miaoyan Daoist to be angry."
Having said that, the Liuhe Immortal Lord looked back at Ning Fan, the coldness in his eyes slightly reduced, and said,
"I established the Nine Decrees and Sixteen Prohibitions. The third decree states that no one in the Nanli Fire Formation is allowed to hide their identity, lest they be considered sinister and executed! The sixth decree states that anyone who might jeopardize the safety of the fire formation is not allowed to enter the formation. However, Miaoyan Daoist told me you were afflicted by the Summon Barbarian Technique of the Barbarian Clan, and you are now being hunted by thousands of Barbarian Beasts..."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fan glanced at Miaoyan Immortal Honorific, who showed a look of guilt.
She had told the Liuhe Immortal Lord about Ning Fan being affected by the Summon Barbarian Technique, hoping he would help Ning Fan get rid of it, but she didn’t expect it to become a reason for the Liuhe Immortal Lord to provoke.
"Master Zhao Jian, afflicted by the Summon Barbarian Technique, you are not qualified to hide here. If you stay, you might lead countless Barbarian Beasts to attack us Human Masters, causing many to die because of you. This matter is too detrimental! Though Miaoyan Daoist requests me to help you break the Summon Barbarian Technique, on what basis should I help you!"
"You should also not continue to wear the Ghost Eye mask and hide your identity after entering this place! Remove your Ghost Eye mask and reveal your true identity! Within three breaths, if you do not remove the Ghost Eye mask..."
As he spoke, the Liuhe Immortal Lord pointed at the ground, causing the entire First Peak to shake and rumble.
Fire glyphs in the heavens and earth surged towards this place as if they were about to attack Ning Fan at any moment.
This time, it wouldn’t be a thousand, or three thousand, or more than six thousand fire glyphs attacking Ning Fan.
This time, it would be all the fire glyphs in the Nanli Fire Formation attacking him, enough to annihilate all Masters below the rank of Immortal Venerable!
"Enough!"
Miaoyan Immortal Honorific’s beautiful eyes turned cold, dismissing any chance for those fire glyphs to descend as she waved her hand, her fingers sketching out extremely profound starlight that dispersed all the glyphs.
"Liuhe Daoist, you’re constantly making things difficult for Daoist Zhao, just to find an excuse to test his Immortal Venerable Cultivation. Fine, I’ll do as you wish and test Zhao’s Immortal Venerable Cultivation!"
She naturally wouldn’t attack Ning Fan, conjuring a thread of purple starlight from her fingers and slicing it through the space in front of her, opening it up.
What she opened was her Life-bound Minor Thousand Realms, used to store some essential, precious items.
With a gentle wave of her soft palm, Miaoyan Immortal Honorific retrieved a treasure from her Life-bound Minor Thousand Realms, raising her pinkish neck and apologetically smiling at Ning Fan,
"The things that happened today are all my fault, Daoist Zhao. Originally, I planned to meet the Liuhe Immortal Lord first before seeking you with this treasure to repay the favor of saving my life. But now, I can present this item in person to validate your Immortal Venerable Cultivation so that Liuhe will have nothing to say."
Perhaps overly dissatisfied with the Liuhe Immortal Lord, Miaoyan Immortal Honorific didn’t even bother to address him as a friend.
She quietly took out the treasure, without any reluctance or distress. In her view, no matter how precious the treasure was, it could never repay the life-saving grace from Ning Fan.
As the treasure radiated its brilliance, Ning Fan’s eyes slightly showed a hint of emotion, while the Liuhe Immortal Lord directly showed displeasure, sternly saying,
"Miaoyan! You and I had an agreement that once this treasure was nurtured and took shape, you would sell it to me at the price of three Emperor Spirit Fruits. Why are you now giving it to someone else!"
"An agreement? I seem to have only promised to consider it, but never committed to anything. Now, I wish to give this item to Daoist Zhao, haha, what can you do about it?"
Miaoyan Immortal Honorific chuckled and then turned to Ning Fan.
Seeing the fleeting emotion in Ning Fan’s eyes, she couldn’t help but internally praise Ning Fan’s steady nature...
