Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Striking Awe Into One Hundred Sects (6)

Dear readers, the Chapter today will be delayed. I was rather busy on so other things today. I’m sorry about it. The Chapter will resu tomorrow. Stay tuned. [updated 9 Jul 11:21pm ( 8GMT)]

King Lan Ling stood at one side of the jade platform. His appearance was handso and elegant. He was clad in a set of dark purple python robes and wore a golden purple crown on his head. His outfit made him look like a young emperor. The dash of cinnabar on his glabella added a hint of malevolence to his overall disposition.

As he stood in the snow and wind, countless orchids fell down around him from the sky, making him as ethereal as a child of a deity. His presence captivated the hearts and minds of many female cultivators in the audience seats...

Compared to King Lan Ling’s good looks, Ning Fan appeared less flashy. He wore a set of simple and plain white robes while his unrestrained long, black hair cascaded down his shoulders. His piercing cold eyes were like dark quiet pools that could never be seen through.

His white clothes were tainted with blood. On his glabella, the star which flickered irregularly filled his presence with dreadful killing intent.

A rush of Reckless Devil Realm domineering intent gathered between his brows, making his aura force so strong that ordinary cultivators could not breathe normally. It also made many won around the platform fall for him.

King Lan Ling was the strongest individual among the cultivators below the Void Fragntation Realm in the Rain World. As for Ning Fan, he was the strongest devil lord of the internal sea... If Ning Fan fought King Lan Ling’s second primordial spirit without using a Void Fragntation Realm jade slip, who would win in the end?!

Perhaps King Lan Ling would have greater chances of winning his fight against Ning Fan. After all, his true body was the most powerful expert among all cultivators below the Void Fragntation Realm in the Rain World! How could Ning Fan withstand the strength of his second primordial spirit?

The cultivators of the one hundred plus sects held their breaths in nervousness. All of them were staring at the jade platform with full attention.

Today, eleven Void Refinent Realm experts had already died in Ning Fan’s hands. This news would surely shake the entire world! As for those who had witnessed Ning Fan’s terrifying ans, who else would still be brave enough to plot against Feng Xueyan...?

Ning Fan’s expression was calm and composed from the beginning, just like an unfathomable abyss.

Even though he had already killed Marquis You Gui and had confidence that he would win the fight against King Lan Ling, he still felt slightly uneasy inside...

That kind of feeling was akin to him having overlooked sothing. It was like he had failed to notice so of his enemies who were still scheming in the dark...

"Big Brother acted forcefully to suppress the Ghost Eye Clan and strike fear into the one hundred plus sects which harbored ulterior motives, deterring them from acting rashly. I suppose Younger Sister Xueyan’s tribulation should be over now... However, why do I still have this feeling of unease...?" Xu Qiuling’s brows were slightly drawn together with worry. Similar to Ning Fan, she also sensed a strange and uncomfortable ambience.

Is Feng Xueyan’s tribulation really going to end like this...?

"Hmm? Elder Sister Yue... What is she doing?" Xu Qiuling’s eyes suddenly flashed with surprise. She took out a jade pendant which contained a trace of Yue Lingkong’s qi. She would know whether or not Yue Lingkong was safe and where she was going using that qi.

According to the jade pendant, Yue Lingkong seed to have gone out of her seclusion...

"Did Elder Sister Yue successfully break through to the Void Inquiry Stage...? However, if she got out of her seclusion, why didn’t she co and find us? Where is she heading...?" Xu Qiuling could not understand why.

Ning Fan and King Lan Ling stood ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) away from each other and occupied each side of the platform. While facing each other, they were resisting each other’s aura forces.

King Lan Ling only ca with his second primordial spirit which did not have a powerful aura force. Ning Fan, on the other hand, had successively killed eleven Void Refinent Realm experts including Marquis You Gui who was at the Absolute Void Stage. The strength of his baleful qi nearly suffocated King Lan Ling!

After exchanging glances with Ning Fan for a few breaths, King Lan Ling could hardly endure the latter’s aura force and took the lead to attack.

As soon as he made the first step, sighs were heard from the audience around the platform. Everyone was clearly able to tell that King Lan Ling had lost to Ning Fan in terms of the intensity of their aura force... This scene did not seem to be in-line with their previous guesses.

King Lan Ling’s handso face was burning with embarrassnt, as if losing to Ning Fan in terms of aura force was a great humiliation to him.

His feet stepped on the ripples in the hollow space. With a skip, he travelled across ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) and got to the other side of the jade platform. He raised his hand and pushed one of his fingers toward Ning Fan. His finger was sharp like a sword and its power was close to the Void Pierce Stage!

He wanted to defeat Ning Fan in a single move to regain his reputation!

"You said you don’t need to use your Void Fragntation Realm jade slips to fight ? Hmph! I think the truth is you no longer have any of those jade slips left! Very well. If you don’t have any Void Fragntation Realm jade slips, it’ll be as easy as crushing an ant for

to kill you!"

"This is... the Void Soft Steps!" Soone in the crowd recognized King Lan ling’s movent technique. The speed of his technique was actually not any slower than Void Teleportation which common Void Pierce Stage experts used.

"White Orchid Sword Finger!" There were also people who recognized King Lan Ling’s finger attack. There were a scant few below the Void Inquiry Stage that could withstand the might of this finger!

Looking at the incoming finger sword light, Ning Fan’s eyes were filled with disdain.

In his first encounter with King Lan Ling back in the Six-Winged Clan, Ning Fan felt that this person was as strong as a colossal mountain and there was no way he could defeat him.

But when he faced King Lan Ling again today, he felt that this man was a lot weaker than himself.

That White Orchid Sword Finger that gave out a dazzling white light nearly brighter than the sun was as fast as lightning in the eyes of countless people.

In Ning Fan’s eyes, however, it was slow and seemingly stagnant in the air...

It was not because King Lan Ling had beco weaker but because Ning Fan was no longer who he was in the past!

"Break!"

Ning Fan acted like lightning. He lifted one of his fingers and displayed the Heaven Breaking Sword Finger which he had not used for a long ti. The mountains, rivers and the hollow space in heaven and earth began to collapse and the force of their destruction turned into Ning Fan’s finger power.

The First Finger broke the ethereal island, rivers and mountains, the Second Finger crushed the vast heavens and the black sun and the Third Finger pulverized the void space and dead bones. In just an instant, Ning Fan displayed the three styles of the sword finger consecutively!

The sword light of the First Finger struck like lightning. Its power was just enough to neutralize the power of King Lan Ling’s White Orchid Sword Finger.

King Lan Ling’s expression changed. He did not expect that his White Orchid Sword Finger would be broken so easily. What ca right after that was the sword light of Ning Fan’s Second Finger which surprised King Lan Ling. He quickly raised his hand to deliver the second White Orchid Sword Finger to offset fifty to sixty percent of the incoming sword light’s power. The remaining amount of sword light power landed on his chest, breaking all of his spiritual armor. Upon impact, he was pushed backward for tens of steps!

Before he could even regain his balance, the sword light of Ning Fan’s Third Finger was already rushing at him like a maggot which would stubbornly cling to a corpse. The sight of the incoming attack made him break into a cold sweat!

From the third incoming sword light, he felt like he was seeing countless corpses in the void space walking toward him while the flesh of his body slowly decayed!

*Bang*

The third sword light hit King Lan Ling directly without missing. He violently spurted out fresh blood from his mouth and could only recover his balance after taking one thousand consecutive steps backward. Only after dispersing the falling orchids around him did he neutralize a portion of the finger power and prevent himself from being severely injured.

However, his golden purple crown was pulverized, making his long hair scatter and fly wildly in the air. The current King Lan Ling looked extrely haggard. Even though he was not severely injured, the injuries he suffered were not light. There was no longer the slightest hint of elegance in him right now!

"How is this possible?!"

The cultivators in the audience seats were stunned and confused. In just a single exchange, King Lan Ling had nearly lost to Ning Fan!

Despite the great disparity between their strength, King Lan Ling still dared to taunt Ning Fan by saying that killing him was as easy as crushing an ant. Apparently, he was just slapping his own face by making that self-contradictory remark...

"I don’t believe it! You and I are both at the Void Inquiry Stage. Since we are both at the sa cultivation base, how can I lose to you?! Heaven Sacrificial Ruler!"

King Lan Ling took out a ruler and wielded it to strike Ning Fan.

That was an ancient ruler which had existed for eons. It looked like it was made of gold and jade but it was actually made of neither. As soon as King Lan Ling wielded it, it produced one hundred thousand ruler shadows that went for Ning Fan’s head. Its power was vast like the heavens. A single strike of this ruler could instantly kill ordinary Void Inquiry Stage experts.

Besides, the ancient ruler was also augnted with a Void Grade divine ability as well as the power to deceive a person’s mind.

All of a sudden, countless chants of ancient scriptures resounded in Ning Fan’s mind for no reason. The chants seed to be inducing him to sacrifice himself for heaven and earth and die under the ruler shadows.

The ancient ruler that was hanging high up in the sky suddenly vanished and a massive halo appeared. The shadow of the light ring gave out a trace of the Heavenly Dao’s might!

"This is... the legendary Heavenly Dao’s Ring!"

Ning Fan’s eyes flashed as he recognized the origin of the ancient ruler’s ability.

He now realized that this Heaven Sacrificial Ruler was a magic treasure that contained Heaven’s might and the user could use the power of the Heavenly Dao’s Ring to hurt their enemies. The wielder of this ruler would punish wrongdoers on behalf of Heaven. Trying to defy the ruler was equivalent to going against Heaven’s halo.

If common cultivators face this Heaven Sacrificial Ruler, they would certainly be deterred by the Heaven’s might, disabling them from resisting the ruler’s power.

Ning Fan, however, had never been afraid of Heaven’s might. To him, heaven and earth was like a prison.

Moreover, this prison could never incarcerate him who was a mber of the Fu Li Race, a Reckless Devil as well as a butterfly!

"Break!"

He suddenly pushed one of his fists upward and delivered a punch at the sky which gave off imnse devil qi. Heaven and earth were imdiately filled with the devil dragon fist shadows!

Ning Fan could now display the Double Dragon Void Technique with this much proficiency without having any flaws.

When he sent out that attack, the Heavenly Dao’s halos were imdiately broken. The one hundred thousand ruler shadows in the sky disintegrated. Under the effect of the massive force of the punch, the entire Northern Cold Country violently trembled!

With just the power of his single punch, he actually disintegrated the Heaven Sacrificial Ruler that contained extraordinary power to ashes!

The Heaven Sacrificial Ruler was sothing that King Lan Ling cultivated using his life. The mont the ruler was destroyed, he coughed out blood once more which stained his python robe.

He then raised his head with discontentnt. He could not believe that Ning Fan could withstand his attack so effortlessly.

Even though he refused to admit it, he still had to acknowledge that Ning Fan’s strength far exceeded that of his second primordial spirit.

Envy rose in King Lan Ling’s heart. It was the sa feeling he had in the past where he felt envious of Yun Tianjue.

The hatred which was birthed from his envy eventually turned into the most ferocious killing intent!

He summoned an armor that was incredibly close to the Profound Divinity Grade. Even though it was not as strong as the Heavenly Ghost Armor, it was much stronger than Ning Fan’s Primordial Lightning Armor. Now, he no longer needed to be afraid of any of Ning Fan’s attacks.

"My strongest technique isn’t my magic treasure or magic techniques. Instead, it’s my divine intent. A single orchid can contain all the vigor of the world. This is my Dao! Orchids as the Dao – honoring orchids is the Dao of Acquiring, shedding orchids is the Dao of Losing. Dao should be like an orchid..."

King Lan Ling’s aura force changed dramatically. All of a sudden, countless dark purple orchids fell from the sky.

"One orchid, one life; one life, one death – Seven Orchids Technique!"

King Lan Ling grabbed the air with his large hand as innurable orchids in the air suddenly gathered together, forming into seven one hundred zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall dark purple orchids.

The mont the seven orchids appeared, the expressions of the high-level cultivators of the one hundred plus sects were filled with terror.

Of all the high-level cultivators from the eight hundred cultivation countries, who did not know the terror of King Lan Ling’s Seven Orchids Technique...?

That was not a magic technique. To be precise, it was so kind of curse that could be displayed using the power of one’s divine intent.

As long as the orchids remain intact, the user’s enemies would not die. However, if the orchids wither, the lives of their enemies would end...

"One life, one death!" King Lan Ling raised his hand and delivered a sword light to cut one of the large orchids into pieces.

Imdiately, Ning Fan felt a sharp pain in his chest for no reason. He was already injured even without knowing why!

When Ning Fan suffered the injuries, so of King Lan Ling’s injuries, on the other hand, had actually recovered. It was as if he had transferred his injuries to Ning Fan...

"Two lives, two deaths!" King Lan Ling smirked coldly. He lifted his finger and turned it into a sword to destroy the second orchid. This ti, Ning Fan felt a pain in his Sea of Consciousness. He took half a step backward and his eyes sparkled.

He now realized that the so-called Seven Orchids Technique was a magic technique that was similar to the curses used in the mortal realm.

When a mortal harbors hatred against soone whom they could never exact their revenge on, they would then get their birthdate and the eight characters of their horoscope and write them down on a tiny human figurine that was made out of grass. Afterward, they would use a needle to prick the figurine. Those who knew how to cast a curse could kill a person after pricking the figurine seven tis for seven days.

In the cultivation world, there were also curse techniques such as the Seven Arrows Book.

Without a doubt, the technique King Lan Ling was using must be a type of curse technique and it was a quite vicious and insidious one at that.

Ning Fan took a step forward, intending to deliver an attack. However, King Lan Ling acted faster than him. He raised his hand and eliminated the third orchid.

"Three lives, three deaths!"

At the mont the third orchid was cut, pain struck Ning Fan’s dantian. Traces of blood flowed out from the corners of his lips.

He held his head up and looked at the remaining four large orchids. His eyes were not filled with rage at all. Instead, he was thinking calmly.

The mont King Lan Ling destroyed the third orchid, his mind seed to have obtained an enlightennt about the curse technique.

In his mind, he recalled King Lan Ling’s words: Orchids as the Dao – honoring orchids is the Dao of Acquiring, shedding orchids is the Dao of Losing...

Ning Fan originally felt nothing about it when he said those words. However, after witnessing the Seven Orchids Technique, he suddenly realized that the two words, "shedding orchid
