Grasping the Evil

Chapter 677: Fourth Revolution Dan Refinement Master Immortal

Seven days later, Ning Fan exterminated the Funeral Immortal Cultivators guarding the Number 1 Heavenly Gate and shattered the gate, taking the Star Stone with him.

Another fifteen days passed, and the three Heavenly Gates in the Second Celestial Realm were successively shattered by Ning Fan, who also subjugated a Rank Six Servant.

Another month later, four Heavenly Gates in the Third Celestial Realm were destroyed...

The Fourth Celestial Realm, the Fifth Celestial Realm, the Sixth Celestial Realm...

After a year in the Heavenly Court, Ning Fan had already charged up to the Twelfth Layer Heavenly Realm.

Thirteen Heavenly Gates were shattered one by one by him. At this moment, Ning Fan was cultivating at the Number 1 Heavenly Gate of this celestial realm.

He now had 90 pieces of Black Star Stone in his possession.

He had seven servants behind him.

Among them, Lux Xiu and Yan Zhenzi were at the Fracture Seventh Realm, three were Fracture Sixth, and two were Fracture Fifth.

Among these people were Ninth Realm Fragmented Void who had once surrendered to the Burial Immortal Clan and powerful members of the Burial Immortal Clan.

But now, they were all nothing more than slaves to Ning Fan.

On his way to the Twelfth Layer Heavenly Realm, the number of Fragmented Void of the Burial Immortal Clan killed by Ning Fan had exceeded a hundred.

The number of Divinity Transformation and Void Refinement cultivators was even more countless.

Despite this, the Nine Ancestors and Eighteen Kings of the Burial Immortal Clan still had not come forward to hunt down Ning Fan.

But this did not mean that the Nine Ancestors and Eighteen Kings did not resent Ning Fan.

"Cookie Brother, can I ask you for a few servants to go treasure hunting in the Twelfth Layer Heavenly Realm..." Bright Sparrow asked expectantly.

In the Twelfth Layer Heavenly Realm, there were quite a few treasures, but more dangers as well.

Besides the people of the Burial Immortal Clan, there were also Fragmentation Realm Five and Six demon beasts or devil beasts.

Such level of fierce beasts was not something Bright Sparrow could defeat at the moment.

She grinned, looking at Lux Xiu and Yan Zhenzi, wanting to borrow these two for treasure hunting by her side.

After all, Ning Fan still needed to cultivate here, right?

"Do not leave my side, for if the Nine Ancestors and Eighteen Kings suddenly appear, they won’t be able to protect you."

"Then let me borrow the large skull to play with..." Bright Sparrow pleaded.

"...Even the large skull may not be able to protect you. You’re about to break through to the Second Heavenly Layer of Void Fragmentation Realm. The Spiritual Medicine acquired from this trip hasn’t been consumed yet, so there’s no need to rush for treasure. The Spiritual Medicine we’ve obtained along the way is enough for you."

"Oh." Bright Sparrow lowered her head in disappointment, took out a Spiritual Medicine resembling a potato, and gnawed on it.

Before long, she was full and in a better mood. She took out a jade mat, lay on it, and fell fast asleep.

Lux Xiu and the others were shocked at the sight of Bright Sparrow eating Spiritual Medicine raw.

They thought to themselves how terrifying Bright Sparrow’s physical defense must be, able to directly withstand the energy of the Spiritual Medicine.

Looking at Ning Fan again, they were even more astounded.

In that moment, Ning Fan swallowed one Star Stone after another. The star force within him remained hidden but was extremely vast.

Ning Fan’s spirit sense kept changing, refining the Star Stones along the Star Palace route in the Cold Star Secret Tome.

The refining speed was, of course, extremely fast.

"Master actually understands Star Cultivation Techniques, truly unbelievable!" Lux Xiu and the others marveled.

As each Star Stone was refined, the number of Ning Fan’s Natal Stars gradually increased.

stars, 242 stars, 257 stars, 272 stars...

Once all 90 Star Stones were refined, Ning Fan’s Natal Stars could break a thousand.

At that time, injuries caused by attacks from the Broken First Layer Cultivator could be healed instantly!

"90 Star Stones, it will take several more days to refine them all..." Ning Fan closed his eyes, quietly refining the star force within him.

...

Within the first twenty-seven layers, there was one secret forbidden ground in each.

In each forbidden land, one of the Nine Ancestors and Eighteen Kings was in closed cultivation.

At this moment, the Nine Ancestors and Eighteen Kings all wore somber expressions, their faces darkened.

Reports indicated that an outsider master had swept through the first twelve layers of the Celestial Realm.

The Burial Immortal Clan members sent to kill this person were mostly exterminated.

This person seemed to possess great divine power to shatter all the Heavenly Gates of the Twelfth Layer Heavenly Realm...

This person had captured a total of seven strong members of the Burial Immortal Clan, taking them as servants.

For the Burial Immortal Clan, who regarded outsider masters as ants, this was an enormous humiliation!

"Lux Xiu even betrayed us! Damn it! To think I used a Mysterious Corpse Pill back in the day to help him break through the realms!" The Seventh King of the Twelfth Layer Heavenly Realm was furious.

He wanted nothing more than to leave his cave dwelling immediately to destroy Ning Fan, who was in the Twelfth Layer Heavenly Realm. Yet, the matter of reviving their ancestor was too important to allow him to leave.

His voice transmitted through the blood patterns on the ground, reaching the ears of the other Ancestor Kings.

All the other Ancestor Kings were furious, wishing they could tear Ning Fan into pieces.

"Hmph! A mere outsider dares to kill our Burial Immortal Clan members and even enslave them, it’s an unbearable humiliation!" The Ninth Ancestor said angrily in the Nineteenth Layer of the Heavenly Realm.

"Third Ancestor, isn’t there a Dispelling Demons Level Corpse Demon in the Twenty-Fifth Layer of the Celestial Realm? Why not send it out to kill that outsider?" suggested the Sixth King.

"Hmph, that Dispelling Demons Level Corpse Demon was injured by an unknown rogue Immortal and is recuperating in the Corpse Demon Pool. It cannot fight for some time," the Third Ancestor grumbled.

"What! A rogue Immortal has reached the Twenty-Fifth Layer of the Celestial Realm!" several Ancestor Kings were shocked.

"Not reached, but descended... That rogue Immortal came down from above the Twenty-Eighth Heaven, possibly a cultivator from the Four Heavens," the First Ancestor, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke.

"Hmph, what about a cultivator from the Four Heavens! That rogue Immortal has already reached the Fifteenth Layer. I’ve reared a large number of Void Fragmentation Realm demon beasts in this layer, and they were all slaughtered by him alone! Unforgivable!" the Fourth King said angrily.

"These outsiders are too hateful. If the Ancient Burial Ancestor awakens, I will petition the Ancestor to eradicate all the outsiders in this place!" the Ninth King said coldly.

"These outsiders won’t be arrogant for long. We just have to endure for another ten years, and after ten years, the Ancestor will awaken. With his Quasi-Emperor cultivation level, who in the ancient Heavenly Court can rival him!"

"Ten years, just wait another ten years!"

...

After refining all the Star Stones, Ning Fan’s Natal Star count reached 1,680 stars, 18 more than expected.

Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Ning Fan stood up, starlight flickering in his eyes.

The various injuries in his body were healing rapidly.

At this moment, he could withstand the siege of a Broken First Layer Cultivator and not die!

Bright Sparrow stared at Ning Fan, her little mouth unable to close in surprise.

Standing beside Ning Fan, she noticed a Void Fragmentation sword wound on Ning Fan’s arm healing at an astonishing speed.

Unable to help herself, she grabbed Ning Fan’s arm and bit down, leaving a small wound.

Yet, the wound hadn’t even begun to bleed before it instantly healed by itself, leaving not even a scar.

She bit again, and the wound healed once more...

She bit again, and the wound healed once more...

Ning Fan speechlessly looked at Bright Sparrow and gently patted her little head, laughingly scolding, "Are you planning to eat me as a Spiritual Medicine?"

"I wouldn’t bear to eat you! I was just experimenting... Cookie Brother, what star technique is this? It’s much better than the Cold Star Secret Tome you gave me! I want to learn this!" Bright Sparrow shook Ning Fan’s arm, pleading.

"You can’t learn this technique... My mastery of the Black Star Technique was purely by chance..."

After speaking, Ning Fan’s brow suddenly furrowed.

His heart suddenly sped up without warning, a sign of impending danger.

He silently looked at the already destroyed Heavenly Gate.

The danger was coming from above... But it didn’t seem directed solely at him.

Looking at the Bright Sparrow beside him, Ning Fan silently pondered for a while before taking out the Ancient Golden Sword, leading everyone through the passage behind the Heavenly Gate to the Thirteenth Layer of the Celestial Realm.

Upon reaching this place, the sense of impending crisis grew stronger.

A month later, after all fourteen Heavenly Gates of the Thirteenth Layer Heavenly Realm had been destroyed, Ning Fan’s group reached the Fourteenth Layer of the Celestial Realm.

After exterminating a group of invading strongmen, Ning Fan obtained a map of the Fourteenth Heaven and flew towards one of its Heavenly Gates.

Guarding this Heavenly Gate were three short elders of the Fragmentation Realm Eight.

In addition to the three elders, there were also several thousand strong members of the Burial Immortal Clan arranged in formation!

The three elders stood atop an ocean of clouds, quietly waiting for Ning Fan’s arrival.

From known intelligence, they were aware that Ning Fan possessed a mysterious Divine Skill capable of destroying Heavenly Gates, not to be underestimated.

Whenever Ning Fan arrived at a celestial realm, he would definitely attempt to go through every Heavenly Gate; they just needed to wait here, and Ning Fan would definitely come!

If they saw Ning Fan, they must kill him!

At a certain moment, all three elders opened their sharp eyes.

In the sky, a golden sword light spanned millions of miles, appearing beyond the Heavenly Gate!

On the sword light were Lux Xiu and six other surrendering followers, Bright Sparrow, the unknowing little glutton munching on Spiritual Medicine, and a cold-eyed young man in white!

The moment the sword light arrived, everyone’s gaze focused on the young man in white!

"We three are subordinates of the Fifth King. Since you’ve come, you needn’t leave. Formation!"

At an order from the three elders, several thousand Burial Immortal Clan members immediately brandished their Gourd Magical Artifacts, releasing sky-reaching corpse Qi from the gourds, forming a sinister array in the sky.

Ning Fan and his group were right at the center of the array!

"Not good! This is the ’Corpse Dissolution Great Array’ of the Burial Immortal Clan! This array was originally created by ancient cultivators seeking to dissolve their corpses to achieve immortality. But how many through the ages have managed to dissolve their corpses to become immortals? Almost all who fall into this array meet their demise through corpse dissolution," Lux Xiu and others exclaimed.

A dense corpse Qi pervaded the surroundings, containing infinite corpse poison.

Even Lux Xiu and other strong members of the Burial Immortal Clan who practiced corpse techniques dared not withstand this corpse Qi and poison by force.

"The Corpse Dissolution Great Array..."

Ning Fan felt the sky-reaching corpse Qi emanating from the great formation, his gaze slightly solemn.

If he had completed the third Corpse Transformation, there might be a minuscule chance of using this array to dissolve his corpse and achieve immortality.

Now, if caught in the formation, it would be a situation of near certain death, and the only way to break this formation is before it fully forms!

The key to this formation lies in the corpse energy forming the array. As long as the corpse energy is gathered, the formation will collapse on its own.

"Swallow!"

Ning Fan opened his mouth and swallowed, consuming all the corpse energy in the sky, causing the formation at his feet to gradually darken and eventually vanish without a trace.

Thousands of Burial Immortal cultivators who were setting up the formation all had a change in their gaze at the moment the formation broke, suffering significant backlash, each retreating in the sky.

The gazes of the three elders at the Fragmentation Realm Eight were all gloomy, but not unexpected.

They did not expect to destroy Ning Fan with just one formation. Indeed, to kill Ning Fan, they needed to take action themselves.

The two elders at the sides of Elder Sui Ba remained silent, each taking a step back and forming seals with their fingers.

Their auras quickly weakened, starting to drop toward the Sixth Fragmented Realm.

The elder in the middle, however, had a sudden increase in momentum, with his cultivation level instantly rising to the peak of the Fragmentation Realm Eight.

"All of you step back; I alone am enough for this place!"

The elder stepped on the sea of clouds, walking towards Ning Fan step by step, sneering, "My surname is Chen, you must remember that and know who you are facing!"

Shish!

Elder Chen’s figure suddenly disappeared from the original spot, appearing next to Bright Sparrow in the next moment!

He grinned, showing his sharp white teeth, realizing with his keen eyes that Bright Sparrow was a Dan Demon!

Dan Demons are greatly beneficial for the resurrection of ancestors!

He began to understand why Ning Fan targeted the bald man in the First Layer Celestial Realm.

It must have been because the bald man discovered Bright Sparrow’s identity as a Dan Demon and attempted to seize him, prompting Ning Fan to kill in return.

"I will not hesitate to take this Dan Demon!"

Elder Chen reached out a large hand to grab the Bright Sparrow alongside him.

At this moment, a golden vortex suddenly appeared at Bright Sparrow’s feet, causing him to vanish without a trace within an instant.

The next moment, Bright Sparrow appeared in Ning Fan’s arms, being gently set down and shielded by Ning Fan behind him.

"I originally had no intention of taking action against the Burial Immortal Clan; all of this is your own doing! Attack!"

With Ning Fan’s command, Lu Xiu and the other seven powerful individuals all attacked, launching their magical treasures towards Elder Chen.

Elder Chen’s eyes glimmered slightly, knowing that with his current cultivation, blocking the attacks of Lu Xiu and the seven others at such close range was no easy task.

His figure leapt, stepping off the ancient sword, increasing the distance to repeatedly point with his fingers, blocking the attacks of the seven magical treasures one by one.

Lu Xiu and the others also leapt off the ancient sword, wielding their magical treasures to fight with Elder Chen.

Elder Chen’s gaze chilled, reaching towards the clouds shouting, "Beast, assist me in battle now!"

At his command, suddenly a gigantic Toad Beast of thirty thousand zhang emerged from below the ocean of clouds.

The Toad’s cultivation faintly reached the peak of the Shattered Void Eighth Layer, a hair’s breadth away from the Ninth Fragmentation Realm.

Elder Chen leaped backward, landing on the gigantic body of the Toad, watching Lu Xiu and the others coldly and commanding,

"Assist me in casting the Decay-Killing Technique, understood!"

Roar!

The Toad Beast let out a mighty roar, indicating its compliance with Elder Chen’s request.

Elder Chen’s fingers formed seals, the corpse energy around him surged step by step.

The Toad Beast opened its giant mouth, spewing a poisonous fog that covered the sky and blocked out the sun.

As the corpse energy and poisonous fog merged, Elder Chen’s seals suddenly changed, shooting an extremely terrifying aura from his eyes.

"Immortal Technique, Decay-Kill!"

The emerald green light suddenly spread out, causing Lu Xiu and the others to reveal looks of despair in an instant.

Immortal Technique, Immortal Technique!

Even if the seven of them poured in all their strength, they could not block this Immortal Technique!

All seven directed their gazes towards Ning Fan, believing that if anyone here can block this Immortal Technique, it would most likely be Ning Fan.

After all, Ning Fan’s supernatural abilities were all astonishingly extraordinary, most likely having some trump card capable of blocking the Immortal Technique.

"Heh, on the brink of death, remember, my surname is Chen." Elder Chen sneered coldly, sitting cross-legged atop the Toad’s head, waiting for Ning Fan and the others to be eroded and killed by the decaying poison.

Ning Fan’s hand was already pressed against the Demon-Sealing Pouch.

This Elder Chen and the Toad Beast are not foes he can defeat...

"Big Head, make your move!"

"I’m not Big Head!"

A demonic roar abruptly swept across the sky, shattering all the emerald light in an instant!

A demonic mist soared upwards, transforming into a massive demonic being.

Scattered Demon!

The Scattered Demon blew a gust, dispersing all the poison mist in the sky.

His cold gaze swept past Lu Xiu and the others, past the Funeral Immortal Clan members, and finally settled on Elder Chen and the Toad Beast.

Lu Xiu and the others looked both shocked and delighted!

Their Master truly had a way to withstand Immortal Techniques!

Scattered Demon, it’s actually Scattered Demon!

Their Master actually subjugated a Scattered Demon as a servant!

Even Scattered Demon is Ning Fan’s slave, serving Ning Fan really isn’t too degrading!

"What! It’s actually Scattered Demon! No good!"

Elder Chen’s face turned to shock, and in the next instant, he was heavily injured by a punch from the Scattered Demon.

"What are you shocked about! Seeing my big head, are you surprised?"

Poof!

Elder Chen took a furious punch from the Scattered Demon, his Spirit almost shattered by the punch.

His body lost stability, fell off the toad’s head, and was invaded by the Scattered Demon’s demonic mist, leaving him unable to recover his breath or deploy any mana.

"Inst...Inst...Instant..." He took out a jade scroll, preparing to crush it.

It was a teleportation jade scroll that could instantly transport ten billion miles, a treasure for escape.

The Scattered Demon sneered coldly, punched out, directly shattering Elder Chen’s jade scroll and injuring him again.

After two punches, Elder Chen’s breath was already weak!

He looked at the Scattered Demon, who was approaching step by step, in extreme terror, wanting to escape but unable to muster mana.

The Scattered Demon grabbed Elder Chen in his hand, looked at him seriously, and asked sternly, "Tell me, is my head big or not?"

"I... I don’t know..."

"Damn it! You dare say you don’t know!"

Bam!

Elder Chen, a Void Fragmentation Realm Eight expert, even using Secret Techniques to raise to the peak of Void Fragmentation Realm Eight, was slapped into countless blood mists by the Scattered Demon’s hands.

At the moment when the Scattered Demon attacked Elder Chen, Ning Fan already ordered Lu Xiu and the others to besiege the remaining Funeral Immortal Clan members.

Among the two elder Void Fragmentation Realm Eight, using Secret Techniques, their cultivation fell to Void Fragmentation Realm Six, making it easy for Lu Xiu and the others to kill them.

He personally did not kill, always guarding Ming Que.

In his heart, there was always a trace of unease, telling him not to leave Ming Que’s side for even a step.

"Master! How should we deal with this little frog, should we roast and eat it!"

With just one punch, the Scattered Demon slammed down the Toad Beast and asked Ning Fan.

The Toad Beast faced the Scattered Demon, trembling all over.

It looked fearfully at Ning Fan, growling a few times, as if saying it was willing to submit to Ning Fan, begging Ning Fan to spare its life.

Ning Fan said nothing, dispersing his spirit sense, implanting a demon seal into the toad, subjugating this exceptionally fierce beast.

On the other side, Lu Xiu and the others also exterminated thousands of the Funeral Immortal Clan members here. Among the two elder Void Fragmentation Realm Eight, one would rather die than surrender and was killed.

The other was willing to submit, and Ning Fan planted a Restrictive Spell on him.

Even when planting the Restrictive Spell, Ning Fan remained highly alert.

He could sense that not far from him, there was an enemy lurking, the source of his unease.

"Master! This time we are truly impressed. You can even subjugate a Scattered Demon as a servant, that’s really Scattered Demon!"

Lu Xiu and the others were amazed.

Scattered Demon-level old monsters are figures of the Nine Ancestors and Eighteen Kings level.

Such characters are naturally proud, if not absolutely necessary, why would they willingly become servants?

To subjugate even the Scattered Demon, Ning Fan is truly incredible.

"Hmm."

To the praises and flattery, Ning Fan just responded casually.

His cold gaze swept around, suddenly his heart was alerted, and he abruptly drew his Ancient Golden Sword, taking Ming Que and flew ten thousand feet away.

Where he originally stood, a middle-aged Scattered Immortal appeared, looking slightly surprised at Ning Fan.

"Oh? You’re quite a cautious boy, and can even subjugate a Scattered Demon as a servant, no wonder you can turn the Funeral Immortal Clan upside down."

In the next moment, the middle-aged Scattered Immortal revealed a murderous intent, "But to be my enemy in the Dan Sect, this is not enough. Hand over the demon pill behind you, and I might spare your life. I give you three breaths to consider! These three breaths are only for your Scattered Demon! But if you truly annoy me, killing your Scattered Demon wouldn’t require much effort!"

This Scattered Immortal, from the Dan Sect!

His target is Ming Que!
