Chapter 708: Battle with the Fate Immortal, Yin Fire Becomes a Mountain!

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Ning Fan also didnt expect that the fragment of the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperors array pattern would be mysteriously stolen by the Yin Yang Locket...

But since he obtained an array pattern for free, naturally there was no reason to give it up, and Ning Fan certainly wouldnt return the array pattern.

This was originally the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperors array pattern, and he is the inheritor of Ancient Chaos.

"The auction... is over..." Master Yun sighed helplessly and announced.

One by one, the old monsters hurried away, afraid that the Immortal Venerable was still lurking nearby, causing new trouble.

It was best to leave early to ensure safety.

The Immortal Venerable, known as the Eternal Immortal Venerable in ancient times, is a figure spanning eons, transcending countless True Immortals.

No True Immortal can defeat the Immortal Venerable, and a Fate Immortal is even less a match for the Immortal Venerable.

Comparing a Fate Immortal to an Immortal Venerable is like comparing Vein Opening to Void Fragmentation...

Ning Fan and Ouyang Nuan also stood up together, preparing to leave.

Ning Fan was not afraid of the nonexistent Eternal Immortal Venerable; now that the auction was over, it was time to attend to another matter.

"Do you know which area of the Shaoze Star Domain Uncle Wei Qi is in now?" Ning Fan transmitted his voice to Ouyang Nuan.

"Probably in this area..."

Ouyang Nuan took out Wei Qis soul plate, calculated a bit, then took out the Inlaid Star Compass of the Shaoze Star Domain and deduced further.

The location is roughly in the north of the Shaoze Star Domain...

"The vast ocean of stars in the Shaoze North Domain, how to find a person... Damn it, why would someone capture Uncle Wei..."

"Maybe that person is targeting you..." Ning Fan mused.

"What do you mean?" Ouyang Nuan asked in confusion.

"Nothing, its just some guesses. Dont worry, I have a secret technique and am quite adept at searching for people in vast areas. Though the north of Shaoze is indeed expansive, with my cultivation, I can perform a dozen secret techniques to find Wei Qis whereabouts."

The secret technique Ning Fan mentioned is naturally the Rain Ancestors Peeking Sky Rain Technique.

With the enhancement of Ning Fans spirit sense and mana, the search range of the Peeking Sky Rain Technique is constantly increasing.

The two left Shaoze Star, while Xiaoqiu was put into Ouyang Nuans Spirit Beast Bag because the cultivation was too low to resist the Void Force.

Ning Fan rode the ancient sword, holding the Inlaid Star Compass, carrying Ouyang Nuan heading towards the north region.

Every day, Ning Fan would perform the Peeking Sky Rain Technique once.

One rain technique extends the spirit sense, even enough to cover half of a Lower-Level Star Domain.

Each time the rain technique was performed, several lower-level Cultivation Stars and their void would quietly receive rain.

"Such powerful Divine Skills!" Ouyang Nuans eyes sparkled, admiring that even Fate Immortals couldnt extend their spirit sense so far.

Only True Immortals who have crossed the Truth Realm could extend their spirit sense half a Lower-Level Star Domain away.

This technique had a significant consumption on Ning Fan, and after each rain technique, it took considerable time to recover mana.

On the third day, Ning Fan and Ouyang Nuan landed on an abandoned star to rest.

Just after recovering a little mana, several fierce killing intents rushed straight towards the abandoned star.

Ning Fan looked over; it was three Loose Immortal Cultivators. Judging by their appearances, Ning Fan recognized them as bounty heads, with bounties of 6 million, 9 million, and 9.5 million respectively...

Ning Fan did not immediately act because he wanted to figure out whether these people were targeting him or Ouyang Nuan.

Ouyang Nuan was a bit nervous, though she excelled at Alchemy, due to physical reasons, she wasnt good at dueling, and her cultivation was weaker.

"Dont be afraid..." Ning Fan smiled slightly, and that smile carried a peculiar power, instantly calming Ouyang Nuan.

"Mm, Im not afraid."

The three Loose Immortal bounty heads looked at Ning Fan, slightly surprised, "The Thousand Autumn Ancestor! Not as the intel suggested, Ouyang Nuan is not alone, retreat!"

With just this sentence, Ning Fan confirmed that these three were indeed targeting Ouyang Nuan, and it was a planned behavior.

Ning Fans appearance disrupted their plans!

Indeed...

Ning Fan seemed certain about something, thus, he decided to kill these three and perform Soul Search and destroy this soul remnant to obtain some intel.

With one step, Ning Fan transformed into a figure clothed in black, performing Soul Extraction and swallowing souls. His surroundings abruptly transformed into flowing black shadows, sweeping towards the three Loose Immortals.

Earth Escaping Technique!

In the moment this technique unfolded, the three Loose Immortal bounty heads expressions drastically changed; realizing theres no escape, they instantly revealed extremely fierce looks and detonated their Spirit remnant decisively one by one!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The self-disruption of the three Loose Immortals Spirit remnant had such power that even ordinary Fate Immortals needed to fend off frantically.

The remnants of the self-disruption headed straight towards Ouyang Nuan, determined to kill her even at the cost of their lives!

"Watch out!"

Ning Fans gaze altered, dispersed and condensed the black shadow, appearing in front of Ouyang Nuan, but too late to approach.

This distance was insufficient to bring Ouyang Nuan into Yuan Yao World to avoid spells.

This distance was inadequate to help Ouyang Nuan dodge the remnants of the self-disruption of the three Loose Immortal beings.

Ning Fans eyes showed resolve; with his entire body covered in black starlight, he opened his mouth and swallowed, absorbing the remnants of the three Loose Immortals self-disruption into his body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of the explosion came from within Ning Fan; his chest hurt intensely, forcing him to step back, shattering the already-collapsing Cultivation Star.

The injury was severe!

"Ning Fan!"

Ouyang Nuan immediately became pale, supporting Ning Fan as he fell toward the void.

Touching Ning Fans cold hands, Ouyang Nuan felt her heart sink.

The Five-Color Medicine Soul entered Ning Fans body and sensed his severe internal injuries, making Ouyang Nuan apologetic beyond words.

If not for saving her, Ning Fan had numerous ways to fend off the self-disruption of the three Loose Immortal beings, without needing to swallow the disruption.

Swallowing the self-disruptions remnants into the body, the injuries couldnt be minor.

"No worries... Its just that my mana hadnt fully recovered yet, hence appearing weaker..."

Ning Fan gritted his teeth, summoning the Ancient Golden Sword, letting it hover in the void.

The two landed on the Ancint Sword, finally having a place to stand.

Ning Fan sat cross-legged on the Ancient Sword, quickly ingested an expensive pill, and used starlight to heal.

The injuries were indeed quite severe, but far from the injuries from boldly breaking through the boundary light sea.

In a maximum of two hours, Ning Fan would be fully healed; this is the strength of eight thousand eight hundred black stars!

If he congealed ten thousand black stars, facing a Life Immortal at the Human Profound Initial Stage, Ning Fan would be absolutely fearless, with no injuries after a hundred battles!

Ouyang Nuan seeing Ning Fans rapid recovery of injuries, felt somewhat relieved, yet still filled with guilt.

No thanks were spoken because she understood that a mere thank you could express nothing.

"They want to kill you... Do you know why they want to kill you? And why they captured Wei Qi?" Two hours later, Ning Fans injuries were healed, his mana restored to its peak, he spoke calmly.

"I dont know." Ouyang Nuan shook her head helplessly; though the Medicine Sect was powerful, it also had numerous enemies.

She couldnt think of who might want to kill her.

But her sharp mind quickly discerned the deeper meaning in Ning Fans words.

"Borrowing a knife to kill!" Ouyang Nuan suddenly exclaimed.

"Mm. The person who captured Senior Wei Qi evidently has the ability to kill you, but he doesnt dare. You have a Ninth Revolution Pursue-Death Pill crafted by your master in your body, and if that person killed you directly, your master would certainly notice. Therefore, he captured Wei Qi, luring you out of Shaoze Star, allowing unrelated individuals to kill you... If Im not mistaken, these assassins dont even know who their employer is. Soul Search and destroy this soul remnant wont help. After you die, Wei Qi would also perish, leaving no one to know who caused your demise..."

Ning Fan analyzed meticulously.

Ouyang Nuan nodded, fully acknowledging Ning Fans analysis.

"Who could be wanting to kill me..."

"How many True Immortals are there in the Medicine Sect?" Ning Fan asked in response.

"Only my master... Wait, are you suggesting that this person is from the Medicine Sect!"

"Otherwise, who else could deceive Wei Qi willingly out of Shaoze Star and capture him... If this person is from the Medicine Sect, everything makes sense; hes a familiar face, so with just a message-transmitting flying sword, he could lure out Wei Qi. Even if his cultivation is lower than Wei Qis, as long as he has cultivation of Life Immortal, he can deceive Wei Qi and capture him. Of course, its possible this person has much higher cultivation, reaching the Ghost Profound Realm... If hes from Medicine Sect, naturally he fears your master knowing his identity..."

"Impossible! The Uncles in the Medicine Sect all treat me well, I can sense it..."

"Unpredictable human nature... Your Medicine Soul is special, but not omnipotent. Your Medicine Soul can sense wickedness in human hearts, but others might possess Divine Skills to conceal their true intentions... Forget it, these are just my conjectures; perhaps the person isnt even from the Medicine Sect, you dont have to take it seriously. Ive rested enough, lets continue searching for Senior Wei Qi, but from this moment on, you must be extremely cautious, and in case of any incident, Ill immediately put you into the crevice treasure, you need to be mentally prepared."

"I understand..."

Ouyang Nuan felt a bit downcast.

She of course understood the unpredictable nature of human hearts, but she never doubted her own Sect Uncles.

She had always regarded the seniors of the Medicine Sect as uncles and elder brothers.

Being betrayed by the uncles and elder brothers she respected was no different from being betrayed by family.

Heartache cannot be soothed with the saying that peoples hearts are unpredictable.

The fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day...

Ning Fan and Ouyang Nuan were almost pursued by a group of assassins every day.

This time, Ning Fan learned his lesson. Upon encountering enemies, he immediately placed Ouyang Nuan temporarily into the Yuan Yao World and then unleashed a one-sided massacre on the assassins.

These assassins were mostly bounty demons, and Ning Fan killed all the way, collecting 17 bounty demons heads with a total bounty reward amounting to 14 million Dao Crystals.

The remaining assassins all self-destructed to death.

Ning Fan also searched the memories of some people, and indeed found no useful information.

Fifteen days later, Ning Fan once again performed the Heaven Prying Rain Technique, causing rain to fall on Tiantai Star.

His gaze suddenly sharpened, and he found the whereabouts of Wei Qi on Tiantai Star!

He found him, yet could not go immediately. He needed to fully recover his mana first...

Sure enough, none of the enemies were True Immortals, which was good news.

However, there were two Early Human Profound Life Immortals, making the rescue difficult...

Ning Fan informed Ouyang Nuan of the appearance of these two Life Immortals, and after seeing them, Ouyang Nuan let out a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, these two were not people from the Medicine Sect.

Instead, these two were from the Fourth Revolution Dan Refinement Master!

"Hehe, Maoqius father, you guessed wrong. The enemies are from the Dan Sect." Ouyang Nuans mood changed from cloudy to clear.

"Is that so, then thats even better."

Ning Fan flipped his hand to take out a small golden sword, a gift from Sovereign Xia, concentrated with 1200 Ancestral Sword Qi of sword sword marks, capable of severely injuring a Life Immortal with one strike.

Adding the strike from the Stele of Sun and Moon, Ning Fan was assured of severely damaging the two Life Immortals!

Yet its only a severe injury; killing them would be as hard as reaching the heavens due to Ning Fans own divine skills being unable to break the Immortal-level defensive spells.

If the Stele of Sun and Moon and the golden sword were to simultaneously attack one Life Immortal... theres still a good chance of killing one Immortal, but the other is absolutely beyond Ning Fans ability to harm.

Of course, he also had a piece of the Great Emperor formation pattern, though this formation pattern is sufficient to kill all Immortals below True Immortal, it can only be used once, and using it to kill two Early Human Profound Life Immortals would seem too wasteful.

...

Tiantai Star, Cloud Cliff Sect,

Cloud Cliff Sect, silent as a grave, a sect slaughtered.

On Tiantai Star, countless cultivator nations, sects, and clans were slaughtered with corpses strewn across the wild.

At the peak of Yun Cliff Mountain, inside a stone chamber, a wounded old man in black robes was imprisoned.

That old man was none other than Wei Qi, heavily restrained by various prohibitions, unable to speak or muster any mana, forced to express his rage with only his eyes.

In front of him stood two Life Immortals from the Fourth Revolution Dan Refinement Master, both dressed in green dan robes, one tall and one fat.

The two fiddled with the storage pouches in their hands, one nodded with satisfaction, while the other showed great dissatisfaction.

"Unexectedly, slaughtering an entire Lower-Level Cultivation Star only got us this pitiful loot, Lower-Level Cultivation Stars truly have no profits to reap!" The tall Life Immortal looked grimly displeased.

"But slaughtering an entire Cultivation Star did enrich my Soul Tempering Streamer greatly with high-quality living souls, increasing its power significantly." The fat Life Immortal laughed heartily, his face quivering with flesh.

As the two were speaking, their gazes suddenly sharpened and exchanged looks.

The tall Life Immortal continued guarding Wei Qi, while the fat Life Immortals figure flickered, transforming into a dark light diving into the ground below.

Outside Yun Cliff Mountain, approached a young man in black.

This young man in black, the two Life Immortals from the Fourth Revolution Dan Refinement Master had naturally heard of, it was Ning Fan who killed scores of their assassins.

Reportedly, Ning Fan was traveling with Miss Ouyang; now that hes here, Ouyang Nuan must be nearby.

Judging by Ning Fans fearless appearance, perhaps this person already knows that there are two Life Immortals stationed here.

Was he trying to lure the tiger out from its mountain? Was there another force attempting to rescue Wei Qi?

Thinking this way, the two Life Immortals would not both deal with a Void Fragmentation child at the same time, one would attack Ning Fan, while the other would stay behind to prevent the enemies from luring them away.

Ning Fans gaze was cold, looking at Yun Cliff Mountain.

Before appearing, he had unleashed his full combat power, facing the Life Immortal, not daring to be even slightly careless.

Perceiving that one Life Immortal was missing from the stone chamber atop Yun Cliff Mountain, Ning Fan felt warning signs arise within his heart.

Given his realms, should a Life Immortal sneak attack, he would hardly notice.

Fortunately, after cultivating to the Grand Five Elements Body, Ning Fans perception of the Five Elements power had become exceedingly keen.

Suddenly, Ning Fan leaped violently, soaring into the sky, overlooking the scene below.

He saw the fat Life Immortal suddenly emerge through Earth Escaping Technique, raising a claw at Ning Fans previous position.

Luckily, Ning Fan reacted in time and dodged the attack.

With one failed strike, vast swathes of earth immediately fractured and split.

The entire Cultivation Star was trembling violently!

This was the power of a Life Immortals casual strike, and that Immortal character was far from something a first step cultivator can reach!

"Life Immortal cannot be someone I can defeat..." Ning Fan frowned, though he considered himself not as strong as the opponent, he clearly wouldnt retreat.

Ouyang Nuan has done him a favor, and he was determined to return that favor!

"Boy, you flee fast, you could make a decent living soul..."

The fat Life Immortal licked his lips, then said, "If you obediently hand over Ouyang Nuan, I will let you keep your spirit awareness and become a happy living soul, but if you remain obstinate..."

The fat Life Immortal suddenly raised a Demonic Banner overwhelmed with Demonic Qi, a low-grade Immortal Treasure!

As soon as the banner soared, a hundred billion souls instantly emerged, turning the sky dark with Yin energy obscuring all, ghosts crying and gods wailing!

A hundred billion souls appeared, immediately merging with each other, integrating momentarily into seventy-two giant ghosts, each possessing rogue immortal cultivation!

"If you remain obstinate, I guarantee you shall be unable to seek life or death!" The fat Life Immortal said with a cold smile.

"Is that so..."

Ning Fan took a deep breath, suddenly raised his palm towards the sky.

Within his hand, there instantly appeared a towering fiery tablet of sixty thousand zhang high!

With a flick of his hand, spirit sense rapidly altered, the fiery tablet instantly soared upwards, transforming into a massive Yin Fire Colossus!

The colossus, though only sixty thousand zhang high, weighed as much as half a Lower-Level Cultivation Star!

And Ning Fans mana was drained almost entirely within moments!

"Second Spirit Monument Technique, Yin Fire Becoming Mountain! Fall!"

As the word fell, the Yin Fire Colossus fiercely plummeted, its speed terrifying!

The Demonic Banner Immortal Treasure was directly crushed to dust by the Yin Fire Colossus!

Seventy-two rogue immortal giant ghosts were flattened into meat pies by the Yin Fire Colossus in an instant, meeting untimely deaths!

Originally so arrogant, the fat Life Immortal had no semblance of arrogance left, faced with the terrifyingly powerful Yin Fire Colossus crushing him, fright overtook him, immediately escaping underground without a word.

He could never have imagined such a terrifying divine skill could be unleashed by an insignificant seven apricot stage ant!

He desperately fled towards Tiantai Stars star of cultivation interior, merely hoping to evade the colossus strike.

Unfortunately, he severely underestimated the power of the Yin Fire Colossus.

As the colossus struck, crashing upon the star of cultivation, the entire Cultivation Star swayed violently, then amidst rumbling crashes, split into two halves!

An entire Lower-Level Cultivation Star was split under Ning Fans one divine skill!

Luckily, while the star cracked open, it still hung together temporarily without breaking apart.

Within the underground, the fat Life Immortal was struck by strong force, directly blasted out of the depths, fell to the ground once emerged, coughing blood ceaselessly.

His body nearly squashed flat, turned into a meat pie, yet still remained alive!

However, the injuries were extremely severe, without healing for a thousand years, recovery was certainly impossible!

At this moment, he was exceedingly weak, his strength reduced by seventy percent, though enraged he laughed darkly.

"Millennium Child, you dare wound me, if old person fails to kill you, I swear I am no human!"

Likewise weak, Ning Fan, looked at the fat Life Immortal, expressionless, but subtly reached into his sleeve.

Inside was a golden sword!
