Chapter 293: Chapter 293 Void Inquiry!
In the two won’s eyes, Ning Fan’s confidence was perceived as arrogance.
Both of them had the hips of a bear and the back of a tiger. Their faces were rough like the surface of a millstone and their eyebrows were thick, making them look extrely ferocious. Both of them made a step forward and their Peak Divine Transformation Realm aura force pressed against Ning Fan like mountains collapsing, stirring up dust and smoke in the air.
However, the two traces of Peak Divine Transformation Realm aura force were actually showing signs of fusing together into one, becoming an aura force as powerful as that of a Half-Step Void Refinent Realm expert!
Ning Fan’s eyes beca focused, thinking that the two won were quite strong. Even so, his facial expression did not reveal even the slightest hint of fear.
He, too, moved a step forward and made a stomp on the ground. Imdiately, the earth trembled and the mountains swayed. A dark red aura force was sent out from his body, brutally colliding against the aura of the two won.
*Bang*
An ear-shattering bang reverberated throughout the sky. The collision of their aura forces ended up in a tie which was an outco that really was beyond the two won’s expectations.
As a matter of fact, the two won were the bear demon Man Shan’s wives. Despite their hideous appearance, their power was undeniably strong and should not be underestimated.
Besides, they were originally twins born of the sa mother. The spirituality bestowed upon them was equally split into two, enabling them to not only fuse their aura forces but also their demon techniques. With their combined attacks, they could even battle against a Half-Step Void Refinent Realm expert!
Now, they unleashed all their aura forces without any reservations and fused them together, intending to subdue Ning Fan at the first attempt. However, none of them had actually expected that Ning Fan who was only an Early Divine Transformation Realm expert would carry an aura force not weaker than a Half-Step Void Refinent Realm expert’s!
As ti passed by, their aura forces began to subside. The victor of the confrontation was gradually becoming more apparent. The aura force from the two won was still just a combination of their two separate aura forces at the end of the day. Now, it began to separate and weaken. On the other hand, the longer Ning Fan’s aura force resisted against theirs, the stronger it got.
"Hmmph! An Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivator has the aura force that could overwhelm the both of us?! I don’t believe it! Let’s use the secret technique!"
"Alright!"
The two won exchanged glances with each other. Although they were still speaking arrogantly and insolently, their eyes were already filled with a hint of gloominess.
The next mont, they bit off the skin on their fingertips in succession and squeezed out a few drops of silver demon blood. Then, they flicked it into the air, making them disappear like a vague blood mist. All of a sudden, the weakening trend of their aura force stopped and started to strengthen drastically instead.
Apparently, they seed to have used so kind of secret technique on their aura force.
Ning Fan’s eyes narrowed with seriousness. If they were beings of the opposite gender, he would of course not dare to belittle them. Unfortunately for them, because of his Yin Yang Devil Veins, he was the least afraid of won. It did not an that he underestimated won but he was a natural bane to won and none of them could resist him.
When the purple star in his left eye flashed, the demon wings on his back suddenly appeared!
At the mont his purple star rotated, a trendous aura force rushed out from his bloodlines, causing the two won who were impudent at first to replace their hideous faces with a look of disbelief!
"The might of ancestor blood... This person’s demon bloodline is at the grade of ancestor blood!"
The demon race valued demon bloodlines. It was because when one’s demon bloodlines has reached a certain level, it would produce a majestic aura force in that particular demon, making the others instinctively submit to him.
For example, the little girl Bright Sparrow in the past. Although her cultivation level was not strong, no demon dared to provoke her.
Now, the sa phenonon happened to Ning Fan. His gaze was filled with an unerasable coldness!
That coldness was a lofty attitude of a being in a high position, just like a person who was standing above a thousand zhang* mountain, looking down upon the won like ants!
*Thump*
The dark red aura force was tinted with a tinge of purple black. Just as this purple black color erged, a boundless force from three zhang* around Ning Fan spread out, literally crushing the female experts’ newly-enhanced aura force to pieces like glass!
In disbelief, the two won retreated for a few steps. Even so, they were still unable to regain their balance. After receiving the ruthless aura force from Ning Fan, the two won’s faces began to flush red and their qi were in disorder!
At this mont, what made the two won feel disbelief occurred!
With a flap of his wings, Ning Fan erged right before the two won with a speed comparable to a Half-Step Void Refinent Realm expert’s and pressed a finger against the two won from each of his hands respectively!
"He’s fast! Compared him to the other Half-Step Void Refinent Realm experts, his current level could be considered strong already!"
After recovering from their shock, they stabilized themselves one after one another. Their eyes sparkling with cold light.
At first glance, they noticed that Ning Fan’s body refining realm was only at the Second Level of Jade Life Realm. As for them, both of them were at the Third Level of Jade Life Realm!
"This man sure is fast. Unfortunately, he chose to fight with us at close range..."
With only a Second Level of Jade Life Body Refining Realm, it was an act of courting death for directly placing his fingers onto the two won!
Honestly, if the two won were of the other gender, Ning Fan would not have acted so boldly to fight them so closely knowing that his body refining realm was weaker than his opponents. However, since they were female, as long as he inserts the power of the Yin Plucking Finger into them, they would then be completely overwheld by his bewitching technique. Within just a short period of ti, their demon power would be fully gone, making them beco vulnerable to anything Ning Fan intended to do to them!
Of course, they were clueless about what Ning Fan had in his mind. They only knew that Ning Fan was just an extrely arrogant and reckless man who had no sense of death or danger.
As such, without making any allowances, each of them threw a punch together to et Ning Fan’s fingers, intending to pulverize his fingers as well as his arms to powders.
However, at this very mont, a black shadow appeared, directly standing in between Ning Fan and the two won and roared loudly.
"Foolish wives! Didn’t I tell you not to disturb this brother in the southern region? Why are you standing here for? Get back to the house and wait for
on the kang1. I’ll give the both of you a great lesson once I get back!"
The black shadow was actually an honest-looking, boorish black man with fur all over his face. Even though he was scolding and cursing with his mouth, his fists did not remain still. With a punch, he blocked both attacks from the won. Upon collision, he did not budge an inch while the two females were sent flying to nearly one thousand zhang* away. Despite that, the strength he exerted was just right, not inflicting any damage on the two won other than offsetting their attacks.
On the other side, the black man changed the five fingers of his other hand into a claw and slashed at Ning Fan’s direction, tearing off the hollow space to create a barrier of Void Realm before Ning Fan’s fingers to stop him from advancing.
Ning Fan’s eyes slightly widened.
Without a doubt, this black man is that giant bear. His current appearance might be different, but his qi is the sa as the bear I t earlier.
Wild Beasts cultivated their beast forms. However, when they were approaching the Void Refinent Realm, they would be able to shapeshift into a human form. As for demon cultivators, they might choose to cultivate their human forms, but they could also transform into their demon forms.
At the end of the Great Dao, everyone would eventually reach the sa goal regardless of the ans they used.
Ning Fan’s fingers were now at an inch away from the barrier of Void Realm. If he moves a little further, his fingers would then enter into the Void Realm and be shredded to pieces by its power... Ning Fan’s expression remained calm and composed. At this mont, he pulled back his fingers and retreated with a flap of his wings. From a distance, he stared at the black man.
If the black man were to harbor the thought to kill Ning Fan, he could have pushed the barrier of Void Realm towards Ning Fan. However, his actions showed that he did not intend to offend Ning Fan.
As for the reason he sent the two won far away, it was because he had clearly seen through the power of Ning Fan’s Yin Plucking Finger. Even though he was scolding his wives on the surface, he was actually protecting them in a rude and unconstrained manner.
"Husband! Hurry up and kill this person..."
"Shut up!"
The black man angrily shouted at the two won once more. Then, he turned his head and cast a deep stare at Ning Fan with his fists cupped.
"Your Excellency, thank you for showing rcy! If you have used the refined corpse, perhaps my two young and beautiful wives would have t their deaths."
The black man, Man Shan, had actually seen through that Ning Fan harbored a black dragon refined corpse!
Indeed, Ning Fan had exercised rcy. Otherwise, he could have summoned his refined corpse to attack one of the won while holding the other one by himself. In that case, the two of them probably would not have a good ending.
The black bear was dreadful of Ning Fan while Ning Fan also feared him. There were still a few months more before the Star Gate reopens and the gate was right within the territory of the old bear. If he were to kill his wives, the black man would certainly fight him to the death. By that ti, he would need to risk his life in order to get to the Star Gate. Since he had a choice now, there was no need for him to pursue and kill any of them. As for the Extre Profound Zoysia, it was not too late to decide whether to seize it or not after asking Xi Ran about it when she awakens.
"You should keep an eye on your own wives. If they roam freely outside like this and get hurt, you are going to feel heartache and sorry for them." Ning Fan indifferently said.
"Haha! Don’t worry. Brother, you can rest peacefully here in the southern part of the island. This kind of misunderstanding won’t happen for the second ti! Considering your benevolence for not killing my wives, I am going to give you sothing good..."
The black bear laughed generously and tossed a jade slip to Ning Fan. He then turned his head back, facing the two won and cast them a fierce stare.
"Let’s go ho!"
"..." The two won did not dare to disobey his command. In a flash, the three figures disappeared into the distance.
After the black bear left, Ning Fan held the jade slip in his hand and perused it. He was not in a hurry to open it up. In fact, he first checked if there were any traps or hidden seals placed within the jade slip. When he made sure that everything was normal, only then did he imrsed his spirit sense into it to see what was inside.
As he took a glance at it, his eyes instantly turned cold. The jade slip did not record anything else other than a kill order!
The individual who issued the kill order was one of the four holy demons of the star sea – the Holy Kun2, Kun Mo3!
The wanted person looks exactly like !
If it weren’t for the black bear who notified
about it, perhaps I would still be unaware that I have unknowingly offended an expert.
"Don’t tell
that this Kun Mo is that person..." Ning Fan recalled that in the past four months when he was travelling across the star sea, he had indeed provoked a Half-Step Void Refinent Realm beast after killing quite a number of Wild Beasts.
On that day, that Half-Step Void Refinent Realm beast was leading tens of Wild Beasts to pursue him across the sea. If it was not because of the incredible speed of his Golden Fla Chariot, he probably would have been in danger.
With this kill order, Ning Fan could now be prepared and be on the lookout for any ambush or sneak attacks, although he was not afraid of the so-called Holy Kun, Kun Mo at all!
The Wild Beasts of the star sea attacked him so he killed them in return. It might be difficult to tell whose fault it was in the end, but Ning Fan firmly believed in one thing.
In this world, if you don’t provoke others, the others would never offend you.
"This black bear is rather interesting."
After clearing off his thoughts, Ning Fan smiled faintly.
This black bear seems to be straightforward and honest, but he is definitely not stupid.
Think about it, the reason why he would express goodwill to
by informing
that I am being pursued is because I have showed concern for his wives without killing them straight away like usual.
"I showed my rcy to him and then he repaid
by letting
know about the kill order... Giving a plum in return for a peach. This kind of incident is indeed hard to find in the cultivation world. Speaking of which, the reason why I did not kill his wives was not because I was being soft-hearted or kind to them but because I was dreadful of them. Similarly, he cozied up to
not because he was grateful. Perhaps, he just wanted to express a bit of kindness to prevent
from creating more troubles in his territory... This kind of relationship really resembles that between
and my master. I chose to beco his disciple because I was unwilling to die. The master accepted
and taught
with all his effort because I am able to save his wife. Isn’t this just like the saying goes ’Giving a plum in return for a peach’..."
"The principle that contains within that relationship isn’t just gratitude or spiritual debt, but... karma! Every cause brings a consequence. This is the fundantal principle for all things in the world. It is just like the two ends of a circle. Because of a single seed, a fruit grows. Because of a single cause, a consequence manifests... And that circle is none other than the causal loop!"
Ning Fan stood outside the abode. His black hair moved by itself in the air even though there was not a breeze blowing. At this mont, his eyes were filled with an unprecedented clarity and brightness.
After spending three months in the Human Hall which was located at the outermost area of the Star Palace, he had managed to cultivate his rain intent, mountain intent and Fu Li intent to the level of Small Accomplishnt.
Divine Intent. Its full na was known as the Intent of Void Divinity. In the past, Ning Fan lived in the Rain World which was mostly inhabited by humans who cultivated the divine path. Therefore, the cultivators nad it as the divine intent. However, the demon race also has the demon intent while the devil race has their devil intent. At the end of the day, naming it as divine intent was biased. As a matter of fact, the word "intent" ant one’s intent realm.
The Intent realm was a type of profound yet mysterious comprehension. It was the comprehension that cultivators had towards the Great Dao. After fusing together with their own experiences in life and their character, it eventually congeals into a divine ability.
In other words, a cultivator’s intent realm contained all the Dao cultivated by them!
By turning the rain intent into a divine ability, it beca a thousand drop blood rain which could really kill soone!
By turning the mountain into an ability, it summoned a thousand zhang* tall evil mountain which could be used to resist one’s enemies!
By turning the demon intent of Fu Li into an ability, it congealed into one thousand plus which greatly enhances one’s speed!
The rain intent might be similar to ordinary rain falling from the sky which moisturizes the earth, but the rain that Ning Fan could summon was a blood rain that was designed to kill. The mountain intent might be like any other ordinary mountain that contained grasses and trees, but Ning Fan’s mountain was filled with evil qi.
These were the abilities he gained after cultivating his intent realms to Small Accomplishnt. As his intent realms improves and attain Large Accomplishnt, the power of the abilities of his intent realms would also increase. Besides, when he comprehends the Dao sense within the intent realms, he would even have the chance to create a Dao Intent Technique using his intent realm and Dao sense!
The power of a Dao Intent Technique was not just based on the level of one’s magic power but the strength of one’s intent realm.
In order to create a Dao Intent Technique, the prerequisite was having one’s intent realm attain Large Accomplishnt!
"To break through to the Void Refinent Realm, my intent realms would also need to attain Large Accomplishnt... However, my intent realms are rather different from those that ordinary cultivators have. Common cultivators are only able to cultivate either one of the three paths: the divine path, the devil path or the demon path. As for , however, I have cultivated all three of them at the sa ti because of my Yin Yang Transformation and that’s why I managed to congeal three types of intent realms. Borrowing the demon intent of the Star Palace, I have forcibly tempered my intent realms and pushed them to the level of Small Accomplishnt. But if I want to attain the Large Accomplishnt, it would be extrely arduous... What should I do in order to cultivate them to the level of Large Accomplishnt?"
His clear eyes began to reveal a hint of confusion. However, the more confusion he had, the deeper the comprehension he had towards his intent realms.
This comprehension was all due to the causal effect which stemd from his thoughts and his curiosity.
This comprehension had fully inspired the confusions he had been accumulating for the past seven months.
It was as if he could now see the layer of barrier that was hindering him from advancing. As long as he breaks through that barrier, his intent realms would then attain Large Accomplishnt!
Gradually, uncertainty completely filled Ning Fan’s mind, making him unable to figure out the solution no matter how hard he thought. However, at this mont, purple golden mist began to revolve around his fingertip!
"Wind Mist... Wind Mist... I have learnt this technique from the Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou. In the past, I was unable to see through the true aning of this technique. It’s only now that I noticed that the reason why this technique is so powerful is because this technique isn’t actually as simple as a magical technique. Instead, it is a Dao Intent Technique! This Wind Mist Finger contains the Immortal Sovereign’s Dao because I’ve comprehended a trace of it. Therefore, even though my cultivation level is weak and my intent realms are weak too, the power of this finger is extrely strong. But it also ans that I have yet to completely master the Wind Mist Finger. It’s because the color of this technique is golden purple, which is the color of the Immortal Sovereign. It is still his Dao!"
"I shall have my own Dao! If I don’t fuse my very own Dao into this technique, it will never truly beco my Dao Intent Technique. It will only be an impressive-looking technique which lacks essence. Perhaps with the trace of power of Samsara within the technique, it might be considered heaven-defying, but if I don’t have my own Dao Intent Technique, even if I beca an Immortal Emperor and completely learn this technique, it would still be the Immortal Sovereign’s Dao in the end. It will never be mine!"
"Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou had repeatedly warned
that I am different from the rest... At first, I thought I have understood what he was trying to imply. But now it seems like I have yet to fully grasp what he ant. The difference between
and the rest isn’t about my character nor my size. Instead, it’s my Dao! It’s because everyone has their own Dao and therefore, there won’t be two exactly sa individuals in this world, let alone two completely identical drops of water!"
Ning Fan’s face looked even more blank than before but his heart seed to have understood sothing.
"I get it now. As long as this is done, my intent realms will be able to attain Large Accomplishnt! Furthermore, when it succeeds, the Wind Mist Finger will be filled with my Dao and its power will then be enhanced!"
At this mont, the blankness within his eyes dispersed as they flashed with determination. He wanted to fully perfect and master the Wind Mist Finger, the technique which he himself created!
"I will strip the Dao of the Immortal Sovereign off from it and fuse my Dao within!"
Gradually, a trace of power gradually erged on his fingertip... It was actually... the power of the Void!
...
The black bear and his two wives had already gone far.
All of a sudden, the three of them stopped and landed on the ground. Their facial expressions changed drastically.
The two ugly won behaved so timidly that they did not even dare to squeak after being reprimanded by the black bear earlier wore completely different expressions. They stared at the black bear with their eyes widened in anger. The fierce man who was still acting imposing and commanding just now imdiately made a nod and bowed humbly towards them.
*Piak*
One of the ferocious wives gave the black bear a hard slap on the face while the other directly pinched his ear.
"We purposely went here to avenge you and then you helped the outsider in return?! Acting tough and cocky now? So your back has grown stiff, huh? And you aren’t the old you anymore, huh?"
"And you even commanded us to go ho and wait for you on the kang? Look at how tough you are now!"
"Let’s be frank. What has that man given you that caused you to be so protective of him?! If you don’t block us, that final attack would surely have blasted him to death!"
The black bear’s imposing manner waned. He did not dare to talk back nor resist, let alone to fight back.
"I was wrong. I truly am guilty... But blocking the two of you from him was for your own good. If I didn’t interfere, would the both of you be able to receive his finger attacks? That is an extrely profound bewitching technique which I have never even witnessed before in my whole life! If it were to affect the both of you, your struggle would be in vain even though your cultivation level is higher than his... Moreover... he still has a Half-Step Void Refinent Realm corpse hidden inside his pouch. If it wasn’t because of , perhaps he would have straight away called out his refined corpse and taken the both of you down."
The black bear felt really wronged. If he acted even a mont late, his wives whom he thought to be beautiful in his eyes would have been touched by Ning Fan. He was really reluctant to see it happen.
"Bewitching technique?! A Half-Step Void Refinent Realm refined corpse?!"
The two ugly won were surprised. They had no idea at all that Ning Fan had such ruthless and sinister ans.
To them, they had never thought that a young boy who was as thin as a rake would be so powerful.
"Is what you are saying true?!" The two females questioned.
"One hundred percent sure! If I dare to lie, then punish
by not letting
sleep on the kang tonight!" The black bear gulped audibly as he stared at his two wives with a timid look that clearly conveyed this ssage: ’You know it’.
"Then what about the incident with the chicks, the reason why you would chase after them was not because of their beauty?"
"Beautiful my foot! They are only skin and bone. None of them are swarthy nor strong enough. If they were to be given to
as a present, I won’t even want them!" The black bear revealed a look of disgust. He could really not see Wu Yan and Xi Ran as anything remotely close to beautiful. He only likes black and strong won as they were vigorous in bed!
After taking a closer look at his two ugly-looking wives, the black bear nodded his head.
Indeed. It’s still my own wives who are much more pleasing to my eyes. They are just stunning. I feel like I want to take a shot in a wild area like this.
"Hmmph! Glib-tongued!"
The two females instantly felt a rush of happiness within their hearts, despite knowing their appearances were really not that presentable. After all, every woman liked to be praised for their beauty. As for their husband, they did not accuse him as they also clearly knew that there were so problems to his aesthetic standards.
Finally, they took their husband’s words to be true. Perhaps what Man Shan said was a little exaggerated, but they could not deny that Ning Fan was really strong. After just a brief confrontation, he had managed to offset their aura force. Incidents like these were not sothing that could be done by just any ordinary being...
"Considering your sweet talk, we will only forbid you from sleeping on the kang for three days as a punishnt for today’s matter..."
"Noooo! I can’t hold back that long!" The black bear covered the lower part of his body with his hand, feeling wronged. However, the next mont, all of his grievance was turned into surprise.
At the sa ti, the two females also turned around and gazed at the southern direction of the island in disbelief.
"Void Inquiry?! That young man... has actually comprehend a trace of the power of the Void. What is he doing?!"
anwhile, above the sky of the star island, an Early Divine Transformation Realm black-robed elderly man who carried a heavy sll of alcohol sat on top of a massive green wine gourd. His presence was hidden among the skies. What was strange about him was that despite having the cultivation level of Early Divine Transformation Realm, none of the Wild Beasts was able to sense his qi.
After feeling full from drinking, he let out a burp and hung down his head to look at the star island below his feet.
"This old man has already gone through the 490000 formation eyes of the Immortal Void Realm formation in the Heaven Hall. As for the eighteen doors of life and death with nine of them being the doors of death and the other nine being the doors of life, I have already gone through six of the latter... Although I haven’t found out what the secret hidden within this Star Palace is, as a deacon of the Four Oceans, I shall report back to the Immortal World after finding such changes in the Rain World with my incarnation. I can’t simply let the other deacons to get all the credit... Hai, the Rain World... It’s such a pity that I didn’t manage to et Old Man Han. I heard that he has already gone to the Sword World. With my current authority, I am unable to go to the Sword World at the mont... Hmm? Soone is going through Void Inquiry? A re Early Divine Transformation Realm expert is trying to comprehend the power of the Void and using it as a breakthrough point to create his very own Dao Intent Technique... Hehe. The ants from the mortal world are always ridiculously overestimating themselves, just like a mayfly which intends to shake a giant tree and a mantis which tries to stop a chariot with its delicate arms. Hai... What’s the point of it?"
*Gu Dong Gu Dong....*
The elderly man took a few gulps of wine. His expression which had just gotten sober was now dazed again.
Vaguely, he seed to have noticed the image of the tiny figure of the Early Divine Transformation Realm expert who was trying out a thing which only Void Refinent Realm experts would dare to try overlap with an old friend of his.
When the Old Devil’s qi from the trace of Black Demon Fla within Ning Fan was exposed, the drunk old man suddenly beca clear-headed!
"It’s Old Man Han’s qi! Who is this young man? What is his relation to Old Man Han?!"
The murky eyes of the black-robed man sparkled for the first ti!
