Chapter 725: Annihilating the Yao Clan!
"I, the Ancient Chaos Emperor, shall today bury the Yao Family of Eastern Heaven forever in the galaxies!"
"Those who aid the Yao Family, share the same guilt!"
This voice, merging with the formation, carried an unimaginable might as it frantically spread into the distance!
All cultivators who had reached the level of a Loose Immortal gazed incredulously at the starry sky!
Those cultivators below the Loose Immortal level were yet unaware of the massive upheaval in the Yao Zong Star Region.
The Loose Immortal cultivators were shocked to discover that the entire Yao Zong Star Region had been sealed by an unrivaled fierce array!
Facing that peerless fierce array, everyone felt a delusion as if they had become meat on the chopping block, only to be slaughtered by the powerful ruler of the great array, living and dying against their will!
Some knowledgeable individuals were suddenly aghast upon hearing the words "Ancient Chaos."
The title of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, they had seen it in some ancient books!
He was an unparalleled fierce emperor, who swept across the ancient Immortal Domain with the Chaos Ring Decision, creating the Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique, claiming to have disrupted an entire Immemorial Era!
He was a great emperor who had long since passed away, in his times, there were a billion Immortal Emperors! And his strength was enough to rank in the top ten, perhaps even higher!
That was an ancient great emperor, his strength was absolutely incomparable to later Immortal Emperors!
So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is!
This formation pattern was actually laid out by the Chaotic Ancient Land! No wonder it’s so terrifying!
Though Ning Fan claimed to be the Ancient Chaos, no one truly believed he was the Ancient Chaos.
Ancient Chaos had long since perished, Ning Fan’s words were likely a temporary integration with the aura of Ancient Chaos within the formation patterns.
"The formation patterns of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor! The patterns of that unparalleled fierce emperor!"
Yao Kong gritted his teeth fiercely, but he did not flee!
He stared incredulously at Ning Fan, at that unrivaled fierce array, and gradually, his body began to tremble uncontrollably!
Who could have anticipated that a Void Fragmentation cultivator possessed such terrifying formation patterns!
A single corner of the formation pattern was enough to destroy the entire Yao Zong Star Region!
"Millennium! What are you trying to do! Do you want to massacre the entire Yao Zong Star Region! Do you want to destroy the whole Yao Family! Are you trying to anger Qingyun Elder! You’re seeking death! I advise you to withdraw the formation light quickly, otherwise..."
Near the Abandoned Star, only Yao Kong remained, trying to maintain composure and threatening Ning Fan.
Everyone else had already fled this place in madness, regardless if they were Void Fragmentation or Fate Immortal!
Ning Fan’s gaze was icy cold, devoid of any emotion as he swept it towards Yao Kong.
With just a glance, it made Yao Kong feel as though he was gazing at the heavens!
"Exterminate!"
A cold word escaped from Ning Fan’s mouth.
In the next moment, a gigantic half-white, half-black hand emerged abruptly in the void!
That giant hand was formed by the power of the great array!
The giant hand was larger than an entire lower-level Cultivation Star!
The giant hand slammed down upon Yao Kong’s head, without any means to resist, the prestigious Ghost Profound Fate Immortal was directly smashed into meat paste by the giant hand!
The force of this giant hand, with just one strike, was enough to severely wound a True Immortal at the initial stage of the Crossing Truth Realm!
Yao Kong, how could he possibly withstand the power of a single strike!
His corpse, his storage pouch, were taken by Ning Fan.
His Spirit was sealed by Ning Fan, and collected into the Soul Bag!
"The third one." Ning Fan murmured coldly to himself.
Yao Honglei’s Spirit was the first Fate Immortal Spirit captured by Ning Fan!
Yao Xuesen’s Spirit was the second!
Yao Kong’s Spirit was the third!
This is just the beginning!
The death of Yao Kong could not be concealed from the old monsters who fled hurriedly!
The prestigious Ghost Profound Fate Immortal, without any resistance, had his physical body destroyed and his spirit captured by Ning Fan, a scene that deeply shocked the hearts of all old monsters present!
This array is indeed terrifying, indeed unbeatable!
And Ning Fan, who now controlled the great array, could not be defeated by anyone below a True Immortal!
"Damn it! How did our Yao Family provoke such a star of misfortune! But this boy is truly arrogant, does he not know who’s backing our Yao Family! Hmph! If this old man doesn’t die today, I will definitely ask Qingyun Elder to take action and tear that Millennium kid to pieces!"
A Fate Immortal of the Yao Family in the late Human Profound stage fled while cursing.
His name was Yao Qian, although he was shouting angrily, the panic in his eyes couldn’t go unnoticed by others.
He was scared, he was afraid, even if he managed to escape, he didn’t dare to ask Qingyun Elder to take action for revenge against Ning Fan!
Will Qingyun Elder really stand up for the Yao Family! He didn’t know!
Rumor has it, Qingyun Elder was driven out of the clan in his youth before joining the Slaughter Hall!
These years of looking after the Yao Family were merely out of kinship...
His heartbeat had long fallen into chaos, and when a black and white giant hand appeared out of nowhere in front of him, he nearly collapsed in the starry sky from fear!
The next instant, that black and white hand mercilessly slapped down. Yao Qian’s expression of despair was forever frozen...
The giant hand easily smashed him into meat paste, and as the formation light flashed, his crushed body, storage pouch, and Spirit were all collected by Ning Fan.
"The fourth one!" Ning Fan’s icy voice echoed through the starry sky with the help of the formation light, making numerous fleeing cultivators shudder.
Yao Bing was a cultivator of the Void Fragmentation Seventh Layer, one among the seventy thousand Void Fragmentation cultivators of the Yao Family.
Before coming to Tianwei Star, he never imagined that the seventy thousand Void Fragmentation cultivators and over a hundred Fate Immortals of the Yao Family would be frightened away by a single Ning Fan.
After witnessing the tragic fate of the Family Head, Yao Bing was trembling all over!
If heaven gave him a chance to choose again, he would never choose to be born in the Yao Family, and would never want to be an enemy of Ning Fan!
He aspired to become an Immortal; he didn’t want to die, not here!
He wanted to escape, yet didn’t know where he could flee to, as the entire Yao Sect Star Region was within Ning Fan’s attack range. Could he really escape...
Boom!
An immense hand covering the sky suddenly appeared above Yao Bing, mercilessly striking down.
Yao Bing only felt a powerful force hitting him, and in the next instant, everything went black as he lost all consciousness.
He didn’t know that he was smashed into pulp by a single strike from the formation light, and his Spirit was taken by Ning Fan as a medium for the Blast God Technique.
The same fate befell as many as eighty thousand Void Fragmentation cultivators.
Seventy thousand were from the Yao Family, while the remaining ten thousand had come here to kill Ning Fan for a bounty.
The giant hand of formation light annihilated eighty thousand Void Fragmentations in one slap!
If Ning Fan hadn’t intended to keep their Spirits for his technique, they would have perished in both body and soul under the giant hand!
Streaks of formation light flickered, while heaps of crushed flesh, storage pouches, and Spirits were collected by Ning Fan.
Eighty thousand Void Fragmentation Spirits, acquired!
"One... one strike killed eighty thousand Void Fragmentations!"
All the Fate Immortals were terrified by this horrifying scene!
Luo Hai trembled all over, filled with regret!
He was an old monster of the Ghost Immortal Realm, capable of overpowering a domain, yet he unwisely ventured into the Yao Sect Star Region.
He shouldn’t have come, shouldn’t have come!
He had originally come for the greatest bounty in Eastern Heaven, for the hundred billion Tao Crystals.
He thought killing Ning Fan would be as easy as a turn of the hand.
Yet things turned out differently, as Ning Fan was not the easy prey of Eastern Heaven! He was a wolf, a deadly, maddened wolf!
"Old demon of Seven Fiends Sect! What was your intention to set a hundred billion bounty on him! You’ve caused endless harm! Endless harm!"
Luo Hai gritted his teeth, his fury entirely directed at the Seven Fiends Sect.
If not for the enticing bounty set by the Seven Fiends Sect, he wouldn’t have come to kill Ning Fan and stepped into this desperate situation!
If he could escape the Yao Sect Star Region alive, Luo Hai wanted to do just one thing!
Destroy the Seven Fiends Sect to vent his rage!
Unfortunately, he was destined never to have this opportunity to vent his rage.
Black-and-white giant hands covered the sky, striking down from the void, Luo Hai couldn’t react in time and was crushed into pulp...
Fellow Daoist Xu was a Fate Immortal of the Diyuan Sect in Eastern Heaven, skilled in the Five Elemental Escaping Techniques, especially earth elemental escaping.
Every time he took a handful of specially-made soil from the storage pouch and scattered it into the starry sky, he could vanish into the earth to flee billions of miles away.
He flew in desperation, believing that as long as he kept fleeing for his life, he might escape the Yao Sect Star Region, the attack range of the formation array!
Yet, when a giant black-and-white hand descended from the sky, all his confidence turned into despair...
The fifth, the sixth, the seventh...
More and more Fate Immortals were ’killed’ in the starry sky.
Gradually, in Ning Fan’s Soul Bag, there were already 74 Fate Immortal Spirits!
There were still 72 Fate Immortals who hadn’t been annihilated by the formation light.
They despaired, no matter how far they fled, as long as they remained within the Yao Sect Star Region, they would be obliterated by a single strike of the formation light.
Finally, they stopped fleeing!
They went mad, turning around and charging towards Ning Fan!
If they would die anyway, then let it be a fight to the death with Ning Fan!
Maybe, after killing Ning Fan, the formation would stop running uncontrollably.
Perhaps, no one could stop this formation from operating anymore.
In their hearts, only one belief remained.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Kill Ning Fan!
Since there was no way out, they would make one last stand; rather than dying while fleeing, they would die fighting back!
"Still showing some courage, a shame it’s futile!"
Ning Fan’s gaze was icy, indifferent, as his ten fingers moved swiftly; in the starry sky, 72 enormous hand shadows suddenly appeared, striking down one by one on the celestial spirits of the Fate Immortals!
With each thunderous boom that resonated, it signified another Fate Immortal turning into flesh pulp.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Despair, resentment, anger, fear, pleas...
A myriad of expressions appeared on these Fate Immortals’ faces, finally eternally frozen.
Ning Fan’s gaze remained unwavering. Since these people wanted to kill him, he had no reason to show mercy or softness.
Using the power of the formation, Ning Fan mercilessly harvested the lives of each Fate Immortal.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, 146 Fate Immortals and 80,000 Void Fragmentation cultivators were all wiped out by Ning Fan, their Nascent Souls captured!
The Yao Family’s Fate Immortals were all dead, and the invading Fate Immortals were also completely annihilated, yet it wasn’t over!
Ning Fan had declared that he would bury the entire Yao Family forever in the galaxies; though the main forces of the Yao Family were dead, its roots remained!
Weeds must be eradicated by the roots!
The formation had been activated and couldn’t be stopped!
Ning Fan merged with the formation, his spirit sense could extend across the entire Yao Zong Star Region. If he wanted, he could fly to any place within the Yao Zong Star Region in one step!
Retrieving Nieli back into the Cauldron Ring, Ning Fan transmitted to her,
"You can refine the essence of flesh and blood on your own, eat slowly, don’t choke."
The corpses of the fallen strong ones in this battle were all a bargain for Nieli!
With a flicker of his figure, Ning Fan disappeared directly from the Abandoned Star, his destination unknown.
Qinghe Star, Yao Tianzong.
The sect master of this sect was an old monster of the Absolute Void Stage, originating from the Yao Family.
The cultivators of this sect were all people of the Yao Family!
At this moment, the Yao Tianzong Master was berating the Star Lord of Qinghe Star!
The Yao Tianzong Master was only of Absolute Void Stage cultivation, while the Star Lord of Qinghe Star was at the Crumbled Void Seventh Layer.
However, the Yao Tianzong Master dared to publicly berate the Star Lord of this star.
Because he was a person of the Yao Family, a mere Star Lord of the Crumbled Void dared not offend the Yao Family!
The tyrannical nature of the Yao Family was renowned in Eastern Heaven!
"It is your honor that this old man has taken a liking to your daughter! I give you only three days to wash your daughter clean and send her to my chambers. If you dare defy my order, I guarantee you’ll die a miserable death!"
The Yao Tianzong Master looked disdainfully at the Qinghe Star Lord, who was half-kneeling on the ground.
The Qinghe Star Lord’s face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth in hatred, almost grinding them to pieces.
His daughter had just recently married someone, yet she was now being eyed by the Yao Tianzong Master, who wanted to take her as a Cauldron Furnace.
He roamed the realm of cultivation, and did not regard himself as a good man, yet he could not bring himself to destroy his daughter’s happiness and hand her over to be ravaged and abused by the Yao Tianzong Master...
As the Star Lord of an entire star, he was reduced to being reprimanded by a junior, unable to protect even his own daughter.
He was unwilling, he was resentful, he was helpless, he was remorseful... in the end, he dared not offend the Yao Family.
"Is there any room for negotiation in this matter? As long as the Sect Master spares my daughter, I am willing to give away all my wealth to the Sect Master..." the Qinghe Star Lord said in humiliation.
"There is absolutely no room for negotiation! You can scram! If I don’t see your daughter in three days, I will send a message within the clan to summon strong ones to exterminate your entire clan!"
The Yao Tianzong Master snorted impatiently and ordered the cultivators nearby to drive away the Qinghe Star Lord.
Several Golden Core experts watched the Qinghe Star Lord mockingly, dragging him out of Yao Tianzong as if he were a dog.
As the saying goes, a seventh-ranked official outside the Prime Minister’s door; even a dog of the Yao Family might have a more prestigious status than this Qinghe Star Lord.
"The brat has gone too far!"
The Qinghe Star Lord stumbled out of Yao Tianzong, his heart filled with anger, and spat a mouthful of fresh blood.
He closed his eyes in despair, struggling immensely in his heart, not knowing whether to sacrifice his daughter to save the clan.
Suddenly, the Qinghe Star Lord opened his eyes in disbelief!
He realized that the entire Qinghe Star was suddenly locked by an incredibly strong force!
A young man in white, with a black and white ring-pattern beneath his feet, suddenly appeared above Yao Tianzong!
"Yao Kong is dead, the Yao Family Fate Immortals are wiped out, Yao Tianzong shall also be destroyed!"
This voice echoed throughout the entire Qinghe Star!
The young man in white abruptly raised his palm, and in the next instant, a black and white hand seal, spanning only ten thousand feet, descended from the heavens, wiping out the entire Yao Tianzong into ashes with a single strike!
No cultivator survived!
The Yao Tianzong Master was still dreaming of oppressing women, not reacting to anything before he was killed under the hand seal!
"This... this person is Thousand Autumns Old Demon! Wasn’t he being hunted by the Yao Family! How could he come here?!
"He said Yao Kong is dead, the Yao Family Fate Immortals are wiped out, does it mean he alone slaughtered all the Yao Family Fate Immortals!"
The Qinghe Star Lord trembled as he looked up at Ning Fan.
At this moment, Ning Fan was merged with the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Formation; just a wisp of breath from him would be enough to subdue the Qinghe Star Lord to death!
"He absolutely has the power to slaughter the Yao Family! He really wiped out the Yao Family Fate Immortals! He came here to destroy Yao Tianzong, to uproot the Yao Family!"
"The Yao Family is destroyed! The Yao Family is actually destroyed! Haha, haha! Good, good, it’s really good!"
The Qinghe Star Lord laughed up to the sky, suddenly kneeling and bowing to Ning Fan!
Yet Ning Fan didn’t even glance at the Qinghe Star Lord, his figure flickered, and he flew towards the next place.
Flame Dragon Star, a branch of the Yao Family!
Earth Sea Star, a branch of the Yao Family!
Ghost Orchid Star, a branch of the Yao Family!
...
Ning Fan’s figure was like a specter, traversing the entire Yao Zong Star Region with the power of formations.
One by one, the subsidiary forces of the Yao Family were annihilated!
After slaughtering countless, Ning Fan finally arrived at Yao Zong Star!
This was the last Cultivation Star in the Yao Zong Star Region that still had Yao Family cultivators!
This was the main star of the Yao Zong Star Region, the seat of the Yao Family!
The Void Fragmentation cultivators above the Yao Family were all gone, only Void Refinement cultivators remained to guard the family.
However, the accumulations of the Yao Family for millions of years were not to be underestimated!
Ning Fan stood outside Yao Zong Star, locking the entire star with his terrifying murderous aura!
Countless Yao Family Void Refinement cultivators flew into the sky in panic, looking at Ning Fan with fear.
Seven Return to Origin elders of the Yao Family stood in front of the remnants of the Yao Family forces!
These seven elders were not the strongest members of the Yao Family; they were representatives of the seven branches of the main family. If an elder dies, another is chosen to manage the family’s punishments and rewards.
The news of Ning Fan murdering countless Fate Immortals of the Yao Family and cutting off many Yao Family forces had already reached Yao Zong Star.
The seven elders looked at Ning Fan, though their fear was overwhelming, they insisted on maintaining a high and mighty demeanor through gritted teeth.
"Thousand Autumn Ancestor, you have killed countless strong figures of my Yao Family. Qingyun Elder will never let you off. If you stop now and abolish your cultivation, the old man and others can plead for you to spare your life!"
"Done talking?" Ning Fan coldly asked.
"The old man hasn’t finished..." Facing Ning Fan’s icy gaze, all seven elders were frightened to their core, trembling all over.
"If you haven’t finished, I don’t want to hear any more. You may die now!"
At this moment, Ning Fan raised his palm, and amidst the horrified gazes of countless Yao Family cultivators, he struck down!
A black and white palm print as large as a Lower-Level Cultivation Star struck violently on Yao Zong Star!
Yao Zong Star, a dignified Middle-Level Cultivation Star, was split in half by Ning Fan’s palm!
The strong palm force spread out, causing Yao Family cultivators to explode and perish one by one!
The seven elders and other Void Refinement cultivators also exploded and died!
Before dying, their expressions remained fearful!
"From today, there will be no more Yao Family within Eastern Heaven!"
Ning Fan’s figure flickered as he fled into Yao Zong Star, starting to seize the Yao Family’s essence floating in mid-air.
The formation power was gradually dissipating; although the Chaotic Ancient Formation was powerful, it was ultimately just a corner of the formation pattern and could not last long.
Fortunately, with the Chaotic Ancient Formation pattern, Ning Fan had seized enough Nascent Souls of Shattered Void and Fate Immortal Souls.
However, to perform the Blast God Technique, these souls must be exterminated and processed into special souls.
Without the special souls, even knowing the hand seal of the Blast God Technique, it cannot be performed.
In this battle, Ning Fan obtained countless storage pouches, and combined with looting the Yao Family’s lair, the spoils of war were quite considerable.
Dao Crystals, 1700 billion!
One-million-year-old spiritual herbs, 207 plants!
Numerous types of Eighth Revolution pills, and quite a few Ninth Revolution Elixirs.
Life-saving Immortal Talismans, Jade Pendants, countless Human and Ghost Profound Strikes, even got several True Immortal Realm attack jade scrolls.
The ancestral temple of the Yao Family also worshiped the ancestral statue of Yao Family’s ancestors, accumulated millions of years of Incense Flame.
Unfortunately, these Incense Flames belonged to the Yao Family ancestor, and since the ancestor was dead, no one but the ancestor could take the Incense Flame.
Now, these Incense Flames fell to Ning Fan because he held the Incense Fire Puppet...
Ning Fan took out his Golden Statue Puppet, whose Incense Flame power was pitifully small.
Star Seas revered his Incense Flame, and Rain Immortal World also started to revere his Incense Flame gradually, and inside the Cauldron Furnace, there was an Incense Fire Seed.
But all these Incense Flames combined could not compare to a fraction of the Yao Family ancestor’s Incense Flame.
Incense Flame power is essentially the power of faith, a special power generated by disciple offerings which can only be utilized by the revered, others cannot seize it.
The amount of Incense Flame is related to the number of disciples and the duration of worship.
Ning Fan’s Incense Flame disciples were too few, whereas the Yao Family ancestor had Cultivators of the entire Middle-Level Star Domain as Incense Flame disciples.
Ning Fan was worshipped for too short a time, while Yao Family’s ancestor had been revered for millions of years.
Thus, the amount of Incense Flame Ning Fan collected was far less compared to the ancestor’s Incense Flame, pitifully little.
Incense Flame power is an essential means for a Fate Immortal to enhance cultivation; if Ning Fan breaks through to Fate Immortal, with a large amount of Incense Flame in hand, his cultivation would surely advance greatly...
Infusing the seized Incense Flame power into his Golden Statue, Ning Fan temporarily stayed on Yao Zong Star, starting to perform Secret Method Refinement on the countless souls captured in the battle.
With a special refinement method applied to these Nascent Souls of Shattered Void and Fate Immortal souls, Ning Fan can perform the Blast God Technique.
Leaning on so many souls in hand, even True Immortals in the mid or late stages of Crossing Truth Realm would fear Ning Fan by three points!
Along this path, Ning Fan would no longer need to worry about any True Immortal Realm cultivators hunting him for a reward.
However, having toppled the Yao Family, new troubles might be forthcoming...
For instance, Yao Qingyun.
Or perhaps, there’s an old monster stronger than True Immortals eyeing Ning Fan’s storage pouch.
Currently, Ning Fan carries quite a few Dao Crystals.
The plundering of the Yao Family cannot be concealed! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
