Chapter 1052: Rain!
Should I take another look at the Emperor Butcher’s future?
If the Emperor Butcher’s future truly holds a bloody calamity, reminding her might help her avoid it, right?
"Let’s first take a look at her past, and as for her future... after viewing the past, I should put in more effort to take a look. She’s done me quite a favor on this journey, and I ought to repay it somewhat..."
Ning Fan raised a finger to his brow, then pulled, drawing out a fine line of spirit sense from his brow, throwing it toward the various past fragments of the Emperor Butcher within the well water.
The spirit sense line continued to fall downward, and as soon as it touched the water surface, it was immediately burned to ashes by the scorching well water.
Instantly, a burning pain transmitted through the faint connection, making Ning Fan’s divine sense almost ignite, an unbearable agony ensued, and his complexion turned pale, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. At this critical moment, Ning Fan couldn’t bother to wipe away the bloodstains but instead closed his eyes, receiving the vast information at the instant the spirit sense line was incinerated, transmitted through the well water!
This information consisted of numerous segments related to the Emperor Butcher’s past, bearing the experiences of a lifetime, retrieved from the water at the cost of burning Ning Fan’s divine sense!
The volume of information was incredibly vast!
Thus, receiving this information placed a tremendous burden on Ning Fan’s divine sense, as if it were about to explode from the stream of information.
The injury to the divine sense and the burden were the unavoidable costs of peering into the Well of Worries. Of course, if Ning Fan were strong enough to reach the Third Step, his spirit sense would enter the well as a fish to water, with no harm whatsoever.
"Strange, if he indeed hails from the Worship Spirit Sect, how could he be injured by mere Extreme Yang Water? Although the Worship Spirit Sect is not the strongest among the many Ancient Holy Sects, it ranks in the top ten, and rarely sends envoys with lesser than the Primordial Saint Cultivation! Even if the occasional Second Step disciple arrives, they are undoubtedly those who have practiced [Divine Spirit Thought], whose strength would not be injured by the Extreme Yang Water! Could his identity with the Worship Spirit Sect be false!"
It was Ning Fan’s blood-spitting scene that aroused the Well of Worries’ suspicion, prompting it to reexamine the Immortal Decree handed to it by Ning Fan.
This examination revealed something startling! The more it looked, the angrier the Well of Worries became! This Immortal Decree was... a forgery!
Previously, it had just awakened, with unstable divine sense, thus failing to see through the illusory art on the Immortal Decree, but upon a second look, its clarity grew ever sharper!
A mere Second Step illusory art managed to deceive it! This youngster before him dare attempt to manipulate its grasp over reincarnation - how brazen!
"What gall! To dare impersonate as a disciple of the Holy Sect! Courting death!"
As Ning Fan received the information stream, a massive killing intent, roaring like a flood of the primordial era, surged from the Well of Worries’ water, solidifying the space around it!
At the moment this killing intent was unleashed, Ning Fan’s pupils shrank instantly, realizing the illusory art on the Immortal Decree had been found out, igniting the Well of Worries’ wrath!
Damn it, no time to probe the Emperor Butcher’s future now!
Even less time to probe his own past and future!
The impersonation had been exposed, he must flee immediately!
"Prajna Paramita!"
Almost as soon as the Well of Worries’ killing intent surged, Ning Fan swiftly reached into his bosom, bringing out the Pig Face Treasure Box, chanting an incantation to activate it. Instantly, immense power of moonlight spread from the box, enveloping him like a light feathered robe, with the surrounding time beginning to rewind.
His plan was simple, escaping from this terrifying Well of Worries was utterly difficult, so why not take a detour, directly causing time to reverse, retreating to a past where he was safe.
The thought was sound, but, useless!
"Well, well, well! What audacity! To dare pose as a Holy Sect disciple and awaken me! Do you think with a subpar space-time magical treasure, you can escape from my grasp? Utterly delusional! Ancient and modern years wheel, stop that for me!"
Yet from the well water, a giant hand, part human, part beast, emerged suddenly, pressing its five fingers gently and stilling the reversed flow of time instantly - unable to advance nor reverse, but frozen in space-time!
Rewinding time... ineffective!
Having stilled the flow of time in this place with a mere gesture, that giant hand extended further, stirring a vast wind pressure, grasping down upon Ning Fan, with enough power in its grasp to shatter an entire starry sky, causing furious waves in the Yellow Springs Great Sea!
"Master, beware!" From the treasure box, Yang Zhu’s fearful warning echoed, clearly terrified by the Well’s power.
But truly, such a reminder was unnecessary!
Anyone could tell that being struck by this giant hand meant certain death! At this moment, Ning Fan’s heart plummeted, his face dark and grim!
Facing this well, Ning Fan felt his greatest sense of crisis in life, too strong, overwhelmingly so! This hand’s grasp could not be withstood by any Second Step cultivator!
Neither could he!
So, is he destined to die helplessly here?
How could he succumb!
"Stop for me!"
Ning Fan withdrew rapidly, pointing a finger skyward towards the incoming giant hand, attempting to halt it slightly with the Heaven Sealing Art.
But the gap in their cultivation was too vast! This Heaven Sealing Art managed to pause the hand but for a fleeting moment, allowing Ning Fan to retreat only a single step backward!
He’d only moved a step away from the well, towards the palace gate...
The immense backlash from the Heaven Sealing Art caused Ning Fan to spew blood violently, his presence weakened, sustaining severe injuries!
Though heavily injured, Ning Fan’s eyes bore no trace of panic, only a deathly calm!
Before entering the Netherworld, he’d considered all perils of this journey, even such transformations as dire as this were within his calculations.
He was psychologically prepared for the exposure of his identity!
He was equally prepared for the failure of time’s reversal!
Having received many favors from the Emperor Butcher, despite the dangers, he would not run away.
Of course, he also had no intention to die here!
"Stop for me... again!!"
He cast the Heaven Sealing Art towards the giant hand a second time!
The gap in cultivation between Ning Fan and the Well of Worries was immense, resorting to using the Heaven Sealing Art was a last resort, and the backlash caused Ning Fan’s body to begin collapsing, yet he managed to stop the hand momentarily again, gaining two more steps backward...
At this moment, he had fled three steps from the Well of Worries!
He was a hundred steps from the palace exit!
If stopping the Well of Worries once would only allow for one or two steps, Ning Fan would need to halt it dozens of times to escape the palace, an impossibility! Such extensive backlash would doom him directly, neither his body nor Spirit could withstand the repeated attempts, leading to a fatal backlash!
Each time he performed the Heaven Sealing Art wasn’t merely to halt the Well’s attack, but also to stop the flow of forces here!
Why could the Well of Worries be awakened by him? Why function normally?
Because there’s a formation interjecting around, allowing the Well of Worries to operate, providing it with enough power to awaken!
Facing the might of the Third Step from the Well of Worries, Ning Fan had no such grandiose ambitions. He couldn’t overpower the Well but had a way to stall the forces here and interrupt the formation’s operation!
The reason formations can exert their power is entirely due to the influence of the great trend. If the great trend ceases to flow, the operation of the formation will also stop.
If the Well Manipulation Formation stops operating, then the Worry Well will lose its source of power and will once again fall into slumber. This is the result Ning Fan wants to achieve!
Indeed, the two successive casts of the Stabilizing Heaven Art by Ning Fan were not in vain, actually causing the Well Manipulation Formation here to stop operating forcibly!
Given the high level of this Well Manipulation Formation, if it were in optimal condition, it would be impossible for Ning Fan’s current cultivation level to stabilize it. But Ning Fan was no fool; knowing the potential for exposure, he had contingencies in place. Although he had redrawn the formation patterns of the Well Manipulation Formation, many crucial points were not drawn too firmly, instead leaving behind numerous cracks... As for the Immortal Material filling the formation’s eye, wherever it was critical, he had skimped on it. If ten portions of Immortal Material were required, he would only fill three portions... In this way, although the Well Manipulation Formation here was barely operating, it was not impossible to cause it to halt!
Only by planning before taking action could one retreat completely unscathed from this perilous place, a fact Ning Fan had calculated from the start. Precisely because of his contingency plans, Ning Fan could remain calm in the face of the Worry Well’s fury.
Crack! That was the sound of some formation patterns splitting open!
Hiss! That was the sound of the Extreme Yang water in the well losing the support of the formation’s power, reverting from liquid back into flames!
The Worry Well was instantly both amazed and enraged. Its large hand, which tried to attack Ning Fan, similarly lost its power sustainment due to the halt of the Well Manipulation Formation and dramatically shrank in an instant!
The large hand’s attack had significantly reduced power, weakened directly to the level of an Immortal Emperor’s strike, and continued to weaken toward the threshold of an Immortal King’s strike!
Seeing the success of his two casts of the Stabilizing Heaven Art, Ning Fan’s expression was even calmer, a slight curve on his lips as he continued to flee toward the palace gate.
However, this time, the large hand of the Worry Well did not pursue once more, but instead, watched in astonishment as Ning Fan frantically fled another twenty steps.
Only ninety steps left to the palace gate!
At this moment, the Worry Well felt immense dread in its heart, causing hesitation. The large hand halted in mid-air, refraining from any further attacks on Ning Fan!
What prompted hesitation was Ning Fan’s use of the Stabilizing Heaven Art!
"This is... the Cycle-Fixing Technique! Is it possible that this child is a disciple of the Hun Kun Holy Sect? He is not a Worship Spirit Sect disciple... but hails from the more prestigious Hun Kun Holy Sect!!! Could it be, could it be... No, incorrect, it’s not that! This is not the Cycle-Fixing Technique; it merely resembles it, lacking the power to seal cycles! I was almost frightened by this technique! Boy, you can’t deceive me! Stay here for me!"
After a brief hesitation, the Worry Well suddenly realized, roared in anger, and extended the large hand rapidly, instantly closing a twenty-step distance and again reaching for Ning Fan from above.
The attack came again! But this time, the attack had fallen to the power of a Four Calamity Immortal King’s strike! The sense of crisis it brought to Ning Fan was no longer undoubtedly fatal!
Such an attack’s power only required Ning Fan to desperately unleash the protective golden light of the God-Extinguishing Shield, which was enough to block seventy to eighty percent of its power. During his retreat, he unhesitatingly opened the protective golden light defense of the God-Extinguishing Shield.
Golden light shield!
The golden light of the God-Extinguishing Shield sprang wildly, enveloping the retreating Ning Fan within. At this moment, Ning Fan did not shatter the Punishing Ring but spat several mouthfuls of essence blood onto the protective golden light, causing his aura to weaken again, yet making the golden light soar astonishingly!
With a loud boom, the large hand blasted onto the protective golden light. Although the power weakened dramatically, it shattered Ning Fan’s protective golden light into countless light spots in an instant, directly collapsing.
The aftershock of the attack struck Ning Fan’s chest, causing him to spit blood and be knocked back, yet using the momentum to escape an additional ten-plus steps!
Only seventy or so steps left to the palace gate!
Ning Fan’s white robe was long stained with fresh blood, his physical body nearing the brink of collapse due to backlash and injuries!
Limbs and bones aching everywhere, but the cold calculation in his eyes remained unchanged!
At the moment he released the protective golden light, Ning Fan had deliberately revealed a trace of the God-Extinguishing Shield’s aura to let the Worry Well detect it...
However! The Worry Well’s large hand merely crushed Ning Fan’s protective golden light with one strike and effortlessly sent Ning Fan flying but did not continue to chase, hesitating a second time with its large hand frozen in mid-air, afraid to act recklessly!
The Worry Well was deterred by the aura of the Ancient Kingdom’s God-Extinguishing Shield, deliberately leaked by Ning Fan!
Had the Worry Well not awoken, it wouldn’t have hesitated, the extreme yang power in the well would have been haphazardly vented, unable to have any pause in striking. Unfortunately, the Worry Well was now awake! At this moment, it had consciousness, and the ability to think, thus simply could not remain indifferent to the aura of the God-Extinguishing Shield.
Its reputation in the Three Great Realms is too grand, too resonant, so resonant that even this Ancient Deity cannot ignore it!
The Ancient Kingdom’s God-Extinguishing Shield!
A Heaven-Opening Artifact! Moreover, it ranks nineteenth on the Heaven-Opening List, a treasure of great import!
This was the very artifact used by the Chaos Kun Ancestor in ancient times to suppress ancient deities!
This is the ultimate treasure countless powerhouses of the Three Great Realms yearn for in their dreams!
To think it is... the aura of this item!
No, it’s not complete, what this boy possesses should only be a part of the Ancient Kingdom’s God-Extinguishing Shield, but even just a part should not possibly appear in the hands of such a youngster!
What is this boy’s identity!
Is the identity of the Worship Spirit Sect true or false!
No! Even the Worship Spirit Sect shouldn’t possess fragments of the Ancient Kingdom’s God-Extinguishing Shield! The Worship Spirit Sect is not qualified! The identity of Worship Spirit Sect must be fake!
Why is this child pretending to be from the Worship Spirit Sect!
Could it be that the true identity of this child, though not from the Worship Spirit Sect, is higher and more formidable, hence the need for disguise?
Or perhaps... since the Ancient Kingdom’s God-Extinguishing Shield belonged to the Chaos Kun Ancestor, could the true identity of this child be significantly related to Hun Kun Holy Sect!
Or perhaps...
Overall, before clarifying this child’s identity, blind slaughter cannot ensue! Given its mere well-slave status, it absolutely cannot provoke those true hegemonies of the Real Realms! This child... most likely has a colossal background!
In the moment of the Worry Well’s hesitation, Ning Fan was only thirty steps away from the palace gate, ready to escape!
Seeing the Worry Well hesitant due to the aura of the God-Extinguishing Shield, Ning Fan’s lips curved more prominently.
He deliberately released a hint of the Ancient Kingdom’s God-Extinguishing Shield’s aura, intending to leverage its reputation to plant suspicion in the Worry Well’s mind. This well, self-identified as a well-slave, and deferential after initially arrogant to a Worship Spirit Sect disciple, led Ning Fan to have early speculations about the well’s character and status.
When the Worry Well hesitated due to the Stabilizing Heaven Art, Ning Fan’s speculation was confirmed internally.
This well, in the Three Great Realms, could hardly be any ultimate existence, rather more like a small figure struggling to survive in the cracks. Otherwise, how could this well, upon hearing that he was from the Worship Spirit Sect, immediately become self-deprecating and deferential, calling itself a slave? If not, why would this well hesitate because it mistook the Stabilizing Heaven Art for the Hun Kun Holy Sect’s Cycle-Fixing Technique and dares not act recklessly.
This well harbors humility, fears the greater influences of the True Realms!
In this way, inadvertently seeing a youngster holding a Heaven-Opening Artifact like the Ancient Kingdom’s God-Extinguishing Shield would naturally make the well hesitate again, feel uncertain again, which wouldn’t be too hard to understand!
This was Ning Fan’s goal! Given the vast cultivation gap between him and the Worry Well, forcefully fleeing from here was not feasible. Only with multiple strategic calculations could such an unprecedented feat be achieved!
By using Second Step cultivation, using the sealed Second Step cultivation, escaping from a Third Step strong figure!
If successful, it would certainly cause countless second step old monsters to have their jaws dropped in shock!
Of course, the aura of the Ancient Kingdom’s God-Extinguishing Shield could only temporarily deter the Worry Well; hoping solely on a fragment to make the Worry Well follow orders was absolutely impossible!
Ning Fan wouldn’t stake his life on these minor odds; he seized the moment of the Worry Well’s reluctance to flee. Sure enough, when he finally reached the palace gate, the Worry Well suddenly woke up, the hesitation disappearing, attacking Ning Fan once more!
"No, it’s wrong! The fragment of the Ancient Kingdom’s God-Extinguishing Shield that this child possesses has already lost its Real Realm aura entirely! This item cannot possibly originate from the Real Realm but must have been obtained by this child from this Phantom Dream Realm! That’s right, this child is a cultivator from the Dreamland Realm! Killing a Dreamland Realm cultivator and obtaining a fragment of the Ancient Kingdom’s God-Extinguishing Shield is not a great sin but a great achievement! If the Hun Kun Holy Sect comes here in the future searching for this item, they will certainly forgive my past failure for this shard, summoning me back to the Real Realm!"
"We must not let this child escape!"
"We can’t let our opportunity slip away!"
"You little brat, stay here with me, old man!"
The once hesitant huge hand suddenly surged with killing intent again, frantically approaching the hall door. Unfortunately, due to continuously weakening strength, at this moment, the attack had fallen to the power of a Second Calamity Immortal Lord strike and could no longer cause Ning Fan the same level of crisis as before.
Seeing that the power of the huge hand had indeed fallen to the level of an Immortal Lord’s attack, Ning Fan, who had been fleeing all this time, suddenly had an intense look in his eyes and a touch of madness!
If it was only the power of an Immortal Lord’s strike, then opening his God-Extinguishing Shield’s protective golden light again should be enough to defend against this strike; it couldn’t hurt him! At this moment, he already had absolute confidence in his ability to escape from there, but who was he? He was Ning Fan! Having been gravely injured along the way, suffering greatly, could he really leave so easily? Being chased and hunted, if he didn’t fight back, would he still be considered a disciple of the Black Demon Sect and Old Monster Han?
Just one last step, and he could escape from this Secluded Palace, but Ning Fan didn’t take that step. Instead, he turned around fiercely, laughing coldly with a touch of madness, facing the huge hand’s attack without fear, and opened the protective golden light!
The strike, comparable to the Second Calamity Immortal Lord’s, thundered heavily against Ning Fan’s protective golden light but proved futile!
Under the protection of the golden light, Ning Fan was pushed back only half a step, yet he stood firm, blocking the strike of the huge hand!
The attack from the Well of Worries was thwarted by Ning Fan head-on for the first time, and the offensive dissipated completely!
Then... came the counterattack!
As his heart moved, his mind followed, and his hand moved; the Reverse Sea Sword was already in Ning Fan’s hand!
With the strength sealed by Ning Fan’s cultivation, wielding the Reverse Sea Sword was too arduous. If he merely swung the sword once, he could still leverage the gravitational descent of the Reverse Sea Sword to complete a sword attack, but continuing to hold the sword and fight back against the enemy would be quite difficult.
However, at this moment, Ning Fan only intended to retaliate once. This sword strike followed the direction of gravitational descent, slashing downward relentlessly, wild and unrestrained!
The wind pressure from the sword swept across all directions instantly, stirring waves in the Yellow Springs Great Sea and shaking the palace!
This was the power of a strike with the weight of seven Cultivation Stars!
This was the rebellion of a lower Second Step against the Third Step Ancient Deity!
Just a single stroke cut through the small finger on the huge hand like slicing tofu with a steel knife, utterly unstoppable!
A muffled groan was heard from the Well of Worries, with anger alongside... fear! Terrified of further retaliation, it withdrew the huge hand back into the well, hidden under layers of Extreme Yang power, no longer daring to pursue Ning Fan!
Clearly, it was frightened by Ning Fan’s counterattack, startled and alarmed!
The small finger that was severed further melted into water in the moment it left the huge hand!
Golden well water!
Water infused with vast Extreme Yang power!
Extreme Yang Water!
Transformed from the purest Ancient Extreme Yang of the Ancient Firmament!
"This is..."
Ning Fan was slightly stunned, then laughed arrogantly, exhibiting his divine skills to collect the harvested Extreme Yang Water, followed by retrieving the Reverse Sea Sword and speeding away, fleeing the palace and rapidly heading for the sea surface.
The counterattack unexpectedly resulted in harvest, something Ning Fan clearly didn’t anticipate! He thought there would be no chance to collect Extreme Yang from the well during this venture, yet due to the counterattack, he harvested plenty of Extreme Yang!
If the Well of Worries hadn’t retracted the huge hand in a panic, he would surely have harvested even more Extreme Yang. Haha, he managed to frighten the Well of Worries!
Despite being gravely injured, obtaining such a quantity of Extreme Yang makes the severe injuries somehow worthwhile!
"Despicable! Despicable! You dare to sever one of my fingers; I want you dead! I want you... dead! Roar!!!"
Upon Ning Fan’s escape, a frenzied roar echoed from within the palace, naturally emerging from the Well of Worries. That roar was eerie; while seemingly loud, any sound was wiped away by the sea before it reached the surface. In simple terms, the Well of Worries’ voice was heavily suppressed and couldn’t transmit a sound beyond Yellow Springs!
However, this roar still invoked a summons at the soul level for the beings surrounding Yellow Springs...
This roar was the Well Spirit’s vent of rage, a revenge for the loss of a finger. In fact, after finishing the roar, the Well of Worries forcibly calmed down, and the more it calmed, the more it regretted.
The more it pondered, the more familiar Ning Fan’s Dao Weapon seemed!
Amidst the rage, it couldn’t think clearly, but now, recalling carefully, it was startled!
That sword... that was the Ancient Map Dao Weapon... that was... the Reverse Sea Sword!
It was indeed the Reverse Sea Sword!
How could it be the Reverse Sea Sword!
The equipped sword of the top disciples of the Hunkun Holy Sect! Holding the sword means being enlisted as one of the Saint Heirs in the Holy Sect!
It’s not falsehood! This kid’s identity indeed is not simple; he happens to be one of the Saint Heirs of the Hunkun Holy Sect!
Saint Heir! Saint Heir! That’s a candidate for the Fourth Step inheritance in the Hunkun Holy Sect!
This is bad!
This is a huge mistake!
He shouldn’t have released that angry roar; he shouldn’t have summoned Yellow Springs beings here to hunt down the kid!
The roar just now... might stir trouble! If this Saint Heir of the Hunkun Holy Sect dies because of this, then as per the sect’s rules on protecting its members, no matter where this mere Well Slave hides, across the endless reincarnation of Nine Heavens Ten Earths, Ning Fan’s ancestor would exterminate it!
Total obliteration!
"Stop! Don’t harm his life, absolutely not! I don’t want that finger, you all cease immediately!"
Well of Worries wanted to stop something, but its voice couldn’t transmit beyond the sea surface, and the more it shouted, the more it irritated the beings from Yellow Springs.
As per the terms of the Ancient Divine Spirit Pact, if the Well of Worries howls, it is definitely a summons for all guardian beings to hunt down the invading enemy! The nearby beings around Yellow Springs couldn’t hear what the Well of Worries said; they could only perceive the summons! They could only carry out the orders of the Well of Worries!
Hunt down the intruder!
As Ning Fan erupted from Yellow Springs Great Sea, returning swiftly to his voyage ship, countless beastly roars echoed from the direction of the six ancient mountains on the sea surface!
There were dog barks, whale moans, bird cries... diverse sounds, yet any beast roar alone reveals at least True Immortal level cultivations, and even those of eons!
More so, in an instant, over thirty thousand killing intents from the direction of the six ancient mountains locked onto Ning Fan!
No one could intervene anymore!
This was destined to be a determined pursual at all costs, solely because Ning Fan violated the prohibition of the Ancient Divine Spirit Pact!
"You’re back! Did you succeed this time! Why are you covered in blood, so horribly injured! Wait, what happened here, why did the beings of Yellow Springs erupt with such terrifying killing intent, this is unprecedented! What did you do under Yellow Springs!"
As soon as Ning Fan returned to the ship, what he heard was the endless questioning of the Emperor Butcher.
But where was the time to answer!
In the distant sky, in six directions, there were black masses of ferocious beasts, forming a dense layer as they charged towards the voyage ship!
There were Heavenly Dogs, Yellow Springs Whales seen with the old man surnamed Niu, and many more eerie, nameless creatures!
Each had different appearances, but one thing in common: the killing intent directed towards Ning Fan!
Ning Fan’s heart sank immediately, then he sneered coldly.
Was it that the Well of Worries, unwilling to give up, summoned these Yellow Springs creatures to hunt him down!
Ha, how many years had it been since he was hunted on such a large scale!
Taking my life, is it such an easy task!
Ning Fan tried the Pig Face Treasure Box, and it still had the restrictive power of the Well of Worries inside, unable to use time reversal. In this way, thinking of using time reversal to cleverly avoid the pursuit of the beasts from six directions and return to the past seemed impossible.
"You are..."
"No time to explain! Stay close to me, I’ll take you out of here!" Ning Fan’s voice had just fallen when he grabbed the Emperor Butcher’s hand, pulling him behind to protect him.
At the same time, a blood-colored beam of light exuding destructive waves fell from the sky, striking precisely where the Emperor Butcher had just been standing. If Ning Fan had been even a moment slower, the Emperor Butcher would definitely have been hit by that blood light.
The beam missed, but it still hit the voyage ship’s deck, and with just one strike, the ship’s keel shattered, and the hull exploded with a bang into countless pieces, the wreckage sinking into the depths of the Yellow Springs, crushed into powder by the force of the Yellow Springs Great Sea.
Ning Fan suddenly looked eastward; this attack came precisely from that direction!
The attacker was a Heavenly Dog resembling a small leader, about the early Shattered Thought stage, seemingly not far from here. At this moment, it had already arrived ahead of others, bringing one or two dozen Crossing and Shedding Void stage Heavenly Dogs, skimming over the sea, approaching with strange howling.
Seeing its first strike miss, the Heavenly Dog leader led its numerous subordinates, once again spewing blood light from their mouths, instantly launching more than twenty beams of blood light attacking Ning Fan and the Emperor Butcher.
At this moment, Ning Fan couldn’t fly, but he could still leap. As the last plank of the voyage ship sank, he directly embraced the Emperor Butcher, jumping from the plank towards the Heavenly Dog leader’s direction, leaping a hundred zhang!
More than twenty beams of blood light attacked, their power considerable. In mid-air, Ning Fan punched out with his right hand, nearly brutishly smashing the countless blood light attacks, then landing steadily on the back of the Heavenly Dog leader.
Being approached from behind by Ning Fan, the Heavenly Dog leader was instantly a little fearful, shaking all over, trying to shake Ning Fan off its back, but how could it succeed.
Ning Fan didn’t bother with nonsense with this Heavenly Dog leader, punching it directly on the dog’s head, making the Heavenly Dog spit blood and cry miserably, but it wasn’t killed, clearly because Ning Fan deliberately held back.
He still needed this Heavenly Dog to carry him out of the Yellow Springs Great Sea, how could he kill it!
The purpose of this punch was to stun the Heavenly Dog’s divine sense, causing it to be dizzy.
While the Heavenly Dog was dizzy, Ning Fan’s left eye flickered with Demon Light, and Illusory Art was already activated, easily controlling this Heavenly Dog just like he had once controlled the Hundred-li Stone Dragon!
"From this moment on, you no longer belong to this Yellow Springs, but are my footman! Quickly carry me out of this place, make no mistake!"
Ning Fan gave an order to the dazed Heavenly Dog, which instinctively wanted to resist Ning Fan’s command, but the power of the Illusory Art caused its body to become obedient to Ning Fan. At this moment, it forgot its initial intention to hunt Ning Fan. Howling like a wolf, it then flew into the sky, carrying Ning Fan and the Emperor Butcher, heading towards the remote sky, into that sallow yellow cloud and fog.
"Your injuries are serious; you must heal immediately!" Emperor Butcher frowned deeply. Not because of the countless fierce beasts chasing them, but because of Ning Fan’s injuries.
She couldn’t imagine what Ning Fan had experienced under the Yellow Springs to be so severely injured.
She couldn’t understand either why Ning Fan’s physical defense was on the verge of collapse, yet his face still carried a smile.
This kid, could it be that he got some great benefits under the Yellow Springs? Otherwise, why would he be so joyful?
But with his disposition, even if he obtained the best treasures, he could mostly remain unemotional. Such a rampant smile was somewhat perplexing to her...
Emperor Butcher naturally did not know that the reason Ning Fan felt such pleasure was not because he had obtained a lot of Extreme Yang Water from beneath the Yellow Springs, but because... he had struck back against the Well of Worries, and successfully!
By nature, he had a reckless side, but ever since ascending to Eastern Heaven, due to various reasons, he began to restrain this recklessness.
Swallowing insults, enduring humiliation... Once upon a time, he was so unbridled, dominating the Rain Immortal World, drawing the sword in anger, daring to defy the Moksha Emperor with an ant’s body, daring to slay the Rain World’s Heavenly King out of rage...
That was his true nature!
Yet, the South Heaven Fate-controlling Immortal Emperor calculated against him, he had to endure!
The Eastern Heaven Great Emperor Chonghe calculated against him, he had to endure!
The Dark Clan targeted him, he had to endure!
Da Bi Celestial Emperor calculated against him, he still had to endure!
But this time, facing the Fiendgods from the Third Step, he chose not to endure, but instead laughed in extreme anger, and with an unyielding stance, cut off a finger of that Fiendgod!
Such a release without the need for endurance allowed the long-suppressed Ning Fan to finally feel pleasure and wear this defiant smile!
What of the Fiendgods!
What of the countless Yellow Springs beings chasing after him!
Come, all of you, come!
If you want my life, fine, then exchange it with yours!
If you have the guts, come!
In an instant, the world at this place rippled with unrestrained storm due to Ning Fan’s surge of killing intent!
Above the waves, on the great mountain peaks, under the Yellow Springs sky, countless beasts pursued, stormy winds howled!
Roar!
Ahead suddenly appeared over a hundred eerie shadowy birds, intercepting, all possessing True Immortal realm cultivation!
Each of those shadowy birds shook, and countless ink-green feather needles flew out, thousands upon thousands, raining down toward Ning Fan like arrows.
Ning Fan pressed a hand gently on the Emperor Butcher’s head in front of him, pressing her head down to avoid the wind pressure of countless feather needles.
His other hand, formed into a fist, Ancient Devil Dao energy surged violently. With a punch, the sky within a thousand zhang instantly shattered, not only destroying the shadowy birds’ attacks but also caused hundreds of shadowy birds to explode simultaneously and perished!
Ning Fan did not waste words with these birds, but from his nearly brutal actions, the Emperor Butcher saw Ning Fan’s intention!
If I want to leave, none of you can stop me!
Those who block me... die!
