Grasping the Evil

Chapter 612: Divine-Devouring Incense

Half a stick of golden sandalwood incense suddenly ignited, burning about one-tenth.

A wisp of golden mist immediately spread madly over the Land of Demons, forming patches of golden smoke.

The Three Realms Sect Master caught a whiff of the aroma, and his eyes sparkled brightly, his cultivation speed instantly surged by nearly thirty percent.

He is a devil cultivator, and this Ancient God Incense is an invaluable treasure for him.

The golden smoke continued to spread backward, drifting toward both the rogue devil and Ning Fan.

The rogue devil inhaled the smoke, and the demonic qi around him began to dissipate instantly. Wisps of golden smoke seemed to possess a strong corrosive power, and enveloped in the golden mist, the giant demonic body of the rogue devil started to melt into golden liquid bit by bit.

More and more incense mist infiltrated the rogue devil’s body, causing his aura to fall, and his cultivation speed began to slow dramatically.

"What the hell is this incense!" The rogue devil was shocked.

The incense smoke also drifted into Ning Fan’s body, attempting to dissolve all the demonic qi within him.

Ning Fan was secretly startled, realizing this incense’s mist was so domineering, truly a treasure designed specifically to counter demon cultivators.

While the demonic qi was suppressed, the Ancient God Blood within Ning Fan began to boil, his aura not diminishing but increasing instead.

Ning Fan felt a hot current burst from his chest, generating a mysterious power that absorbed the sandalwood incense mist within him.

At this moment, the King God Blood within Ning Fan circulated on its own, wantonly devouring the golden sandalwood incense mist.

Each time he devoured a trace of incense mist, Ning Fan’s mana would greatly enhance!

Each time he devoured a trace of incense mist, light spots would appear at his brow, gradually condensing into a fourth divine star!

His eyes narrowed as he immediately realized that the strange sandalwood ignited by the Three Realms Sect Master was a poison to demon cultivators, greatly harmful to them, but for Xuan cultivators, it was a supreme treasure for enhancing cultivation.

The stronger the divine bloodline, the greater the benefit from absorbing the incense mist.

With Ning Fan’s King God Bloodline, by refining merely a wisp of incense mist, his mana increased by half a Yuanhui!

Should he manage to devour the entire golden sandalwood incense, his mana would undoubtedly receive tremendous enhancement!

Ning Fan’s gaze swept over the rogue devil, seeing him affected by the golden sandalwood incense to the brink of a realm drop, he immediately crouched down and pressed a palm onto the rogue devil’s shoulder, forming a vortex in his palm that extracted all the incense mist within the rogue devil’s body.

As the golden incense mist left the body, the rogue devil’s aura gradually returned to normal, he cast a complex glance at Ning Fan without saying much.

Ning Fan stood up, opened his mouth wide and inhaled the smoke-filled air, swallowing all the incense mist into his belly, and drove the Divine Aperture to crazily refine the incense mist.

His Royal Clan God Blood seemed to boil, while his physical defense felt like it was burning.

Inhaling all the incense mist, Ning Fan’s body began to inflate like a balloon, his body filled with a large amount of unrefined incense mist.

This incense mist, for Ning Fan, was a superlative supplement, containing nearly 2000 Yuanhui mana!

If he could refine all the incense mist within his body, combined with the Divine Skills of the Ancient God Aperture, his mana could potentially double and skyrocket by 4000 Yuanhui!

If the Three Realms Sect Master absorbed all the incense mist, he could only increase his mana by a maximum of 500 Yuanhui, because his divine bloodline was far inferior to Ning Fan’s, not being an ancient god, nor having opened the Divine Aperture.

Such a vast amount of incense mist is not something that can be refined overnight.

Ning Fan made gestures with his ten fingers, forcing all the incense mist into the heart aperture of his Divine Transformation Realm.

Gradually, his body ceased to expand and returned to normal. While within his Divine Heart, a fingernail-sized golden crystal slowly condensed.

The golden crystal was formed from one-tenth of the Ancient God Incense mist, if refined by Ning Fan, it would increase his mana by 4000 Yuanhui!

"Continue the chase!" Ning Fan commanded, and the rogue devil punched through the void, creating countless vortexes.

The punch transformed into a black whirlwind, sweeping towards the Three Realms Sect Master fiercely.

The Three Realms Sect Master’s eyes widened in surprise, he pointed a finger behind him, countless golden character runes faced the black whirlwind.

As the black wind rolled, all the golden characters were annihilated, sweeping towards the Three Realms Sect Master, causing him immediate pain in his back, his face became pale, almost falling off the purple flying shuttle.

"Impossible! I’ve ignited one-tenth of the Ancient God Incense, why hasn’t it harmed the rogue devil?"

"The incense hasn’t harmed the rogue devil, perhaps because the rogue devil possesses great divine skill and is unafraid of the Ancient God Incense. But why is that Ning Fan, a mere Return to Origin Realm demon cultivator, unscathed by the Ancient God Incense? This child hasn’t even suffered an injury, surprisingly unharmed in the midst of the Ancient God Incense mist... could it be the rogue devil shielding him!"

"Hmph! So what if it’s the rogue devil! This Ancient God Incense is a treasure of the ancient divine race, if I had a full stick of the Ancient God Incense, even a Fate Immortal demon cultivator could be severely injured! This half stick of Ancient God Incense is more than enough to kill a rogue devil, I’m just unwilling to use it all, not afraid of the rogue devil!"

"Burn!"

This time, the Three Realms Sect Master directly ignited two-tenths of the Ancient God Incense.

As the incense burned, golden incense mist frenziedly spread through the Land of Demons.

The Three Realms Sect Master inhaled deeply, speeding up his cultivation without hesitation, frantically fleeing.

This time the concentration of incense mist was twice as before, enveloped in the dense golden mist, the rogue devil felt difficulty in breathing, his massive body began melting again.

In the golden vapor, a gigantic golden armor warrior gradually emerged, only condensing the left half of its body, with five golden star points on its brow.

The golden armor warrior’s aura rivaled an Immortal, incredibly formidable.

The golden armor warrior’s expression was distant, glanced at Ning Fan as if recognizing Ning Fan’s Ancient God Bloodline, not sparing a second look.

His gaze fell on the rogue devil, growing sharper, suddenly raising the left hand, the golden mist condensed into a golden spear, which hurled toward the rogue devil, and coldly shouted!

"A hundred thousand of divine incense, can annihilate a heavenly demon! Demon, perish!"

The golden spear shone like the sun, carrying potent ancient god aura, seemingly able to eradicate all demonic creatures of the world.

The speed of the spear was so fast that even the rogue devil was not given a chance to dodge before it pierced through his chest.

"Ah!"

Stabbed by that golden spear, the rogue devil screamed, instantly leaving a golden hole on his giant body, gushing black blood from the hole, nearly falling from the sky.

Ning Fan’s eyes widened, surprised that the golden incense mist could materialize into an Ancient God Phantom.

He couldn’t be mistaken, that golden armor warrior with only half a body was definitely an Ancient God Phantom.

Though he doesn’t know what the Ancient God Incense is, he can assert that it must absolutely be a treasure of the ancient divine race.

This incense is designed specifically to counter demons!

But for the ancient divine race, this incense is an excellent artifact for enhancing cultivation!

"Refine!"

Ning Fan crouched down, pressed his palm on the rogue devil’s shoulder, forming a vortex in his palm, he took a fierce inhale.

With one inhale, the golden spear piercing the rogue devil immediately shattered into incense mist, which Ning Fan absorbed one by one.

Although the spear pierced through the rogue devil, it didn’t hit the vital Dantian. Despite the rogue devil’s face being a bit gray, his combat power didn’t reduce much.

Ning Fan refined the mist of the spear into his body, coldly scanned the ancient god phantom of the golden armor warrior upon standing.

That golden armor warrior bore five star points on his brow, undoubtedly a Five-Star Ancient God.

However, the bloodline of this Five-Star Ancient God merely reached the true blood level, not the royal grade.

Ning Fan, on the other hand, is a King Blood Ancient God!

"This demoness is my slave, you must not kill her, stand down!" Ning Fan’s cold voice commanded, carrying an aura of kingly majesty.

The golden-armored guard felt the overwhelming pressure of Ning Fan’s bloodline, his gaze trembled with a hint of fear.

He dared not attack the rogue devil again, slightly bowed to Ning Fan, and suddenly shattered his body, transforming back into fragrant mist.

Ning Fan witnessed this, opened his mouth and swallowed all the pervasive fragrant mist, forcing it into his Divine Heart, where two more golden crystals emerged.

Inside him were now three golden crystals; if completely refined, his mana could soar by 12000 Yuanhui!

Ning Fan slapped his storage pouch, took out a bottle of Sixth Revolution Pills, and tossed the entire bottle into the rogue devil’s mouth, commanding, "Swallow the pills, suppress your injuries, continue the pursuit!"

"..." The rogue devil remained silent, though his eyes revealed a trace of shock.

He had only known Ning Fan as an Ancestral Blood Demon Cultivator but never realized Ning Fan also possessed Royal Clan Divine Blood, able to intimidate the golden-armored guard through bloodline pressure.

A cultivator mastering both Fiendgods and demon cultivations truly was terrifying...

Remembering his injuries were caused solely by the Tri-Realm Sect Master’s peculiar fragrant mist, his eyes filled with even more killing intent, and his hatred for the Sect Master surged, longing to end him swiftly.

Without Ning Fan’s orders, the rogue devil activated a secret technique with finger seals, his body turning into a flash of lightning, and instantly, his cultivation speed increased significantly.

In merely a moment, the rogue devil had chased to merely ten thousand feet behind the Tri-Realm Sect Master and launched a powerful punch.

"You old scoundrel, daring to ambush me with fragrant mist, let’s see if I don’t beat you to death!"

Boom!

Countless void vortexes detonated behind the Tri-Realm Sect Master, who felt sharp pain at his back, being struck by the rogue devil’s punch, violently coughing blood, and tumbling off the Purple Flying Shuttle.

Stepping through mid-air, the rogue devil closed in again, another fist slamming down.

The Tri-Realm Sect Master, in great alarm, scattered into myriad golden lights, avoiding the punch, and reformed his body thousands of feet away.

Breathing heavily, he sinisterly eyed the rogue devil.

He didn’t expect igniting two-tenths of the Ancient God Incense failed to stop the rogue devil.

Yet seeing the rogue devil grievously injured reassured him slightly, knowing his Ancient God Incense had a restraining effect on the rogue devil.

What puzzled him was despite the rogue devil being so badly hurt by the incense, Ning Fan remained unscathed.

"This boy is indeed a demon cultivator, yet not harmed by the Ancient God Incense in the slightest, how peculiar..."

"But it doesn’t matter how strange he is, if I ignite all the remaining incense, this boy will surely die, and the rogue devil will be severely wounded!"

"Humph! Since there’s no escape, I won’t flee. Burn!"

This time, the Tri-Realm Sect Master ignited the remaining seven-tenths of the Ancient God Incense!

Originally unwilling to use the incense, he had repeatedly avoided the rogue devil.

But now, with nowhere to retreat or avoid, the Tri-Realm Sect Master would no longer hesitate to sacrifice such an item.

The small length of golden incense was ignited with a Violet Flame, turning inch by inch into ash and disappearing.

Strands of golden fragrant mist swiftly permeated the air above, instantly sealing off eight million miles of sky!

The Tri-Realm Sect Master chuckled coldly, performed finger seals, and within the vast mist, the shadowy figures of three golden-armored guards gradually emerged.

Each golden-armored guard’s aura reached the realm of Immortals!

The three guards raised their palms, conjuring a giant golden spear in each.

Their gazes swept toward Ning Fan, displaying reverence, then looked at the rogue devil with cold killing intent.

"Humph! Having sacrificed all the Ancient God Incense, there’s no reason to return empty-handed today, I will certainly destroy you both here!"

"Kill!"

The Tri-Realm Sect Master coldly snorted, and all three golden-armored guards raised their arms, ready to throw their golden spears.

He was a true blood-level Spirit Severing cultivator, commanding the three Ancient God phantoms with his true blood bloodline, consuming significant mana.

Faced with the three guards about to attack in unison, even the powerful rogue devil showed a trace of fear.

Yet Ning Fan remained unfazed, standing upon the rogue devil’s shoulder, exuding the bloodline pressure of a King Blood Ancient God.

Under this pressure, the three golden-armored guards hesitated, not daring to throw their spears.

The Tri-Realm Sect Master looked at Ning Fan incredulously, gritting his teeth in anger, "Impossible! You’re clearly a demon cultivator, how could you have such pure divine blood pressure! And this bloodline pressure level... has reached the royal grade!"

The Tri-Realm Sect Master could discern Ning Fan’s bloodline level but not that Ning Fan was an Ancient God, not an ordinary Spirit Severing.

Ning Fan said nothing more, only casting cold, lightning-like eyes towards the three guards and commanded, "Stand down!"

Overwhelmed by Ning Fan’s bloodline pressure, the guards shivered with dread, not daring to oppose, and each dispersed into mist.

Using Royal Clan Divine Blood, Ning Fan drove off the three guards, causing significant backlash to the Tri-Realm Sect Master.

He then opened his mouth again, inhaling all the golden mist, forcing it into his Divine Heart, where seven more golden crystals formed.

With this, he completely consumed the Tri-Realm Sect Master’s Ancient God Incense!

If he absorbed all ten golden crystals, his mana could surge by 40,000 Yuanhui!

At that point, his mana could exceed the limit of 100,000 Yuanhui, making his raw power rival even an ordinary Second Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Elder!

"Miscalculation!"

The Tri-Realm Sect Master said nothing more, only showing immense regret.

He hadn’t anticipated that Ning Fan would be a King Blood Spirit Severing, leaving his Ancient God Incense ineffective against Ning Fan while entirely benefiting the enemy, a grievous error!

"Kill!"

Ning Fan had no intention to waste words with the Tri-Realm Sect Master; one of them must die today.

Upon his command, the rogue devil unleashed waves of destructive punches, causing the Tri-Realm Sect Master’s eyes to darken, his pupils suddenly bursting with violet light.

"Purple Yang, unleash!"

Suddenly, a colossal shadow of a Purple Yang emerged behind him!

The instant it appeared, the Tri-Realm Sect Master’s aura began to rise sharply!

"Beware! He embodies the most sinister of the Seven Yang Physiques—the Purple Yang Constitution!" Within Ning Fan’s mind, Luo You’s urgent warning echoed. (To be continued.
