Grasping the Evil

Chapter 664: Five Letters Complete Success

Ning Fan collected pieces of Crystals of Earth, gradually refining them, and the progress of his Earth Physique towards perfection began to slowly increase.

One percent, two percent, three percent...

He stood up and walked forward. In the desert, Earth Beasts were abundant and rushed towards Ning Fan as soon as they spotted him.

Slaughtering all the way, refining Crystals of Earth along the way, after ten days, his Earth Physique was perfected.

He stood atop a devil mountain formed by demonic energy, his gaze deep and still like an abyss.

He raised his hand and captured a grain of sand from the desert, remaining silent for a moment.

The mountain does not move, hence it gains might. The earth is heavy, hence it gains might. If one’s understanding of great might is profound, then a single grain of dust in Ning Fan’s hand is sufficient to fill the sea.

"This is the Dao of Earth."

Ning Fan walked step by step, leaving the Earth Pathway and then entering the Golden Pathway.

"Hmm? Little Fan Fan seems to have changed in some way..." The little demoness’s black eyes flashed thoughtfully.

In the Golden Pathway, the Blade Mountain Sword Domain lay below, with a boundless sea of lightning above.

Walking through the Blade Mountain Sword Domain, the intense golden aura could cut through an ordinary Void Fragmentation cultivator’s skin, but it could not harm Ning Fan with his strong physical body.

He flew up to the sea of lightning, where the lightning was enough to instantly kill those unfamiliar with lightning techniques, but could not harm Ning Fan, who had condensed the Tai Su Lightning Star.

"If gold condenses, it becomes a weapon; if it scatters, it becomes lightning. The Dao of Gold emphasizes intent; without sharp intent, the maximum power of the divine skills of gold cannot be exerted. Gold is mainly for attack..."

Ning Fan’s gaze spread far. In the distance, occasional rogue Lightning Beasts came attacking him.

There were not as many Lightning Beasts here compared to the Water and Earth Pathways, mostly because when the red dress passed through, many Lightning Beasts were slaughtered.

As for Lightning Beasts, Ning Fan feared them the least.

He stepped on the Tai Su Lightning Diagram, flying all the way, capturing every Lightning Beast he encountered.

Even when encountering Void Fragmentation realm Lightning Beasts, he captured and killed them all.

Lightning Beasts below the Void Fragmentation Fifth Realm were simply unable to withstand the power of the Tai Su Lightning Diagram.

Ning Fan collected one Crystal of Gold after another, refining them while seated cross-legged in the sky.

After refining, he continued forward, eliminating Lightning Beasts and collecting crystals.

After ten days, the Gold Physique was finally perfected.

At this point, the Minor Five Elements Constitution was completely cultivated to the Perfect Realm.

With Ning Fan’s cultivation level, relying on the Perfect Minor Five Elements Constitution, he could easily withstand any five elements technique below the Void Fragmentation Level Five.

With the breakthrough of his Minor Five Elements Constitution, there were finally signs of a breakthrough in his physical realm.

Ning Fan leaped, seated cross-legged in the sea of lightning, his body surrounded by the Five Elements Light.

The essence swirling around him began to transform.

The transformation was to convert the essence qi of Jiazi into the Yuanhui Essence Qi.

Ning Fan retracted his essence, stood up, and shook his head slightly, feeling a bit helpless.

The Return to Origin of Jiazi, consumed a lot of time, although he could now break through to the Revered Devil Realm, he did not have enough time to return the essence to origin at this moment.

"The Five Elements are complete; the gains from the First Pass are not small..."

As Ning Fan was thinking this, suddenly, the Golden Pathway shook violently.

A golden light flashed, and Ning Fan was immediately transported out of the Golden Pathway.

Meanwhile, Black Fire was also transported out of the Fire Pathway.

"Has my husband been transported out... Hee hee, it seems that Sister in Red has succeeded in passing the trial." The little demoness giggled.

Within the Bronze Palace, the originally closed gigantic door was slowly opening.

On the other side of the gigantic door, the red dress’s face was calm and indifferent as she spoke to everyone, "The Gold Pass has been broken. Let’s go to the next pass."

"Damn it, I was just a little bit away from breaking the Fire Pass..." Black Fire looked slightly disgruntled.

Whether what he said was true, no one knew.

Ning Fan did not believe that Black Fire could break the Fire Pass.

Black Fire’s cultivation was only the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm, and within the Fire Pass, there must have been many Fire Beasts, probably some Fracture Sixth realm Fire Beasts as well.

This pass was not one Black Fire could break.

The red dress breaking the pass was within Ning Fan’s expectations.

"Hee hee, Sister in Red is indeed formidable. Little Fan Fan, let’s go to the next pass. He Daozi, we shall go ahead."

The little demoness grabbed Ning Fan’s hand and pulled him into the gigantic door.

He Shixiu’s expression subtly changed, then he smiled at Black Fire, "Black Fire Daoist, no need to take it to heart. Does it matter who breaks the pass? As long as we can break through the Primordial Five Passes and ultimately obtain The Immemorial Fisherman’s Raincoat Painting, that’s enough, right?"

"Indeed," He Daozi replied.

The group followed closely behind Ning Fan and the others, stepping into the gigantic door.

Inside the gigantic door was a Crimson Copper Palace.

After everyone entered the Crimson Copper Palace, the giant door of the Bronze Palace closed.

On the other side of the Crimson Copper Palace, there was likewise a gigantic Crimson Copper Door.

Beside the gigantic door, there were four smaller light gates, each of a different color.

Azure, white, vermilion, black...

"The second pass of antiquity is named the Four Symbols Pass. In the Four Symbols Pass, the illusions of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu hold sway; this pass... can only be broken with brute force!"

After speaking, the little demoness glanced at Ning Fan, then at the red dress, and finally at He Shixiu with a meaningful smile,

"This pass requires a forceful breakthrough and should be done by someone with higher cultivation for a better chance. However, Little Fan Fan is so powerful, he should be able to easily break through the Azure Dragon Pass. Sister in Red has just broken the first pass, so she should rest well. If He Daozi is willing, you can also take a short rest in the Crimson Copper Hall."

"No need, on our side, there is also someone who can break the pass. Perhaps the speed of breaking through might be even faster than that of Ning Daoist. What do you think, Gongyang Daoist, will you tackle the Vermilion Bird Pass?" He Shixiu said with a smile.

"Certainly! With the Feather-Slaying Sword in hand, breaking the Vermilion Bird Pass won’t be difficult for me!"

Gongyang Zi appeared full of confidence.

In the Sword World, he was dubbed the ’Sword Demon,’ not only for his cunning and sinister nature, seeming both evil and demonic, but also because he possessed a Feather-Slaying Sword, deadly to avian demonic beasts.

Even facing a Fracture Fifth realm Winged Demon, he could put up a fight.

Against Winged Demons of Fracture Fourth realm and below, Gongyang Zi could dispatch them with a single strike.

Without many words, Gongyang Zi turned into a streak of escape light and flew into the Vermilion Bird Gate.

Soon after entering, a scream echoed from within the light gate.

Subsequently, Gongyang Zi hurriedly escaped out, his face covered in blood, and his Feather-Slaying Sword broken in two.

"I can’t win, I can’t win! Inside the Vermilion Bird Gate, there’s a Fracture Eighth realm Vermilion Bird!" Gongyang Zi appeared in utter shock.

"Fracture Eighth Vermilion Bird!" He Shixiu’s eyes widened, then he shook his head, "If there’s a Fracture Eighth Vermilion Bird, it’s reasonable that Gongyang Daoist would be defeated. Don’t take it too hard."

How could Hex Shixiu’s heart not mind, despite his words suggesting otherwise?

The three helpers he brought, two of them were useless.

One spent a month at the fire pass without breaking through, and the other was directly blasted out by the Fragmentation Eight Vermilion Bird at the Vermilion Bird Gate.

It seems that to break through the Four Symbols Pass, he mostly needs to rely on the people on the little demoness’s side.

In her red long dress, she can battle Fragmentation Eight Fierce Beasts with full force; she specializes in the Dao of Lightning, where lightning belongs to metal and metal restrains wood, and the Azure Dragon is wood.

With her breaking the Azure Dragon Pass, the odds of success are high.

"I’ll make my move, break the Azure Dragon Pass."

The woman in the red long dress gently moved sideways, shielding Ning Fan behind her, the motion was extremely practiced; when she was Ning Fan’s beloved demoness, she would care for and protect Ning Fan every day...

She was long accustomed to it.

She did not know Ning Fan possessed the Dragon Suppression Treasure.

She initially thought that the demonic mounts within the Four Symbols Pass were at most Fragmentation Five and Fragmentation Six; even if Ning Fan entered the Azure Dragon Pass, he could have a fight.

But when Gongyang Zi discovered the actual cultivation level of the Vermilion Bird, the woman in the red long dress naturally wouldn’t let Ning Fan face the Fragmentation Eight Azure Dragon.

It would be sending someone to their death; she wouldn’t watch Ning Fan die with her eyes open.

"Big Sister in the red long dress, there’s no rush. Little Fan Fan has great skills; you don’t know, he has already killed four rogue devils, yellow dragons. A mere Fragmentation Eight Azure Dragon is nothing for him," the little demoness explained with a laugh.

"He killed four rogue devils, yellow dragons?" The woman in the red long dress’s blood eyes slightly trembled, having a somewhat disbelieving expression.

The rogue devils are already peak experts within the nine worlds, and even in the Demon World, there are only three rogue devils.

Ning Fan has only reached the Second Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm, can he really have the power to kill rogue devils?

Though she knew Ning Fan was powerful, the woman in the red long dress couldn’t believe Ning Fan could kill rogue devils. After all, it sounded too absurd, akin to Harmonious Spirit realm cultivators killing those of Void Fragmentation.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be right back."

Ning Fan gave the woman in the red long dress a smile, carrying a hint of gratitude.

This woman, though pretending to be cold, repeatedly sheltered him secretly; how could he not see it?

Ning Fan’s body swayed, turning into a black rainbow, flying into the Azure Dragon Light Gate.

Inside the light gate was a battlefield of ancient trees reaching the sky!

A forest of towering ancient trees, with a Fragmentation Eight Azure Dragon residing within, its form appearing illusory!

That Azure Dragon was as gigantic as forty thousand zhang huge; upon seeing Ning Fan enter, dragon eyes showed a hint of disdain.

"Fragmentation Two... die!"

It roared in fury to the sky, its aura sweeping out and crushing countless ancient trees entirely.

It looked at Ning Fan as though looking at a dead man!

It was Fragmentation Eight; Ning Fan was Fragmentation Two; it naturally wouldn’t take Ning Fan seriously!

But in the next instant, a sharp purple light easily penetrated its dragon body, shattering the Demon Core within!

With expressions of disbelief and fear, it stared at Ning Fan, then toppled headfirst into the dense forest...

Ning Fan held the Taigong Fishing Rod, looking at the easily defeated Azure Dragon, slightly sighing.

What is Fragmentation Eight; if met with a nemesis, even those whose cultivation is far higher can possibly fall.

The more Ning Fan kills powerful members of the Dragon Race, the more cautious he becomes, without any arrogance.

He can rely on the Taigong Fishing Rod’s Divine Skills to defeat them, but who’s to say no one possesses secret treasures to kill him?

On the road of cultivation, the worst thing is to underestimate your opponent!

"Zili, this Azure Dragon, it’s for you to eat... Hmm, remember to eat it elegantly."

Ning Fan collected the Dragon Blood into the Bloody Gourd, and with a shake of the Cauldron Ring, summoned Nieli, sending the fine dragon corpse for Nieli to devour.

With sparkling purple eyes, Nieli seemed not to understand Ning Fan’s command.

Eat elegantly, what does that mean?

Seemingly seeing Nieli’s confusion, Ning Fan added a sentence.

"Just don’t chew the corpse in big mouthfuls, use your demonic power to refine the dragon corpse before eating; eat only the essence."

"Chirp~" Zili cutely chirped, spraying purple-black gas at the dragon corpse.

Gradually, the dragon corpse disappeared, replaced by a teal-colored light orb transformed from the dragon corpse’s refined essence.

Nieli swallowed the teal-colored light orb whole, gazing at Ning Fan with endless gratitude.

"Feed you more corpses of Fragmentation Seven, Fragmentation Eight, and Fragmentation Nine strong ones, you’ll soon break through to the Seventh Realm."

Ning Fan nodded in satisfaction, putting Nieli back into the storage pouch, and slowly stepped out of the Azure Dragon Light Gate.

From when he slew the Azure Dragon to Nieli consuming the corpse, then returning to the Crimson Copper Palace, it took less than a hundred breaths.

The gigantic door of the Crimson Copper Palace began to open slightly.

Witnessing this scene, and seeing Ning Fan emerge safe and sound, the woman in the red long dress’s blood eyes flashed with shock.

"How did you do it?" What she wanted to ask, of course, was how Ning Fan managed to skip six realms and slay the Fragmentation Eight Azure Dragon.

"I have a treasure that specializes in dealing with the Dragon Race." Ning Fan did not hide it, as those who know are quite a few, isn’t it.

"You should have told me earlier!" The woman in the red long dress frowned delicately.

She was actually somewhat angry...

She worried for Ning Fan in vain; he had such means yet didn’t inform her in advance...

"Let’s go, to the next pass!"

She took the lead, stepping through the Crimson Copper gigantic door.

Ning Fan paused, puzzled by why the woman in the red long dress was angry.

The little demoness playfully glanced at the woman in the red long dress, then at Ning Fan, tiptoeing to approach Ning Fan’s ear, blowing a little fragrant breath, teasing, "Does she like you too, my good husband."

Not waiting for Ning Fan’s response, she directly chased after the woman in the red long dress into the next palace.

Ning Fan shook his head, not taking the little demoness’s words to heart.

He doesn’t believe the proud Thunder Emperor Bu Zhou would like him. Following the little demoness, he stepped into the next palace.

Hex Shixiu and others also followed through the gigantic door; after everyone entered, the Crimson Copper gigantic door closed.

The third palace is the Black Copper Palace.

At the other end of the palace, there’s a Black Copper gigantic door, beside the gigantic door, there were only two smaller light gates.

One black, one white!

"The third primordial pass, ’Two Elements Pass’! Two elements, isn’t it just Yin and Yang? Nothing much to explain. Hehe, dear Fan Fan, bring out your Yin-Yang Dragon Pearl, this pass is for you to decide it..."(To be continued.
